Will Ming

Chapter [-] Can a slap in the face get rid of old grievances?

Li Xian still doesn't like to take a boat. Although the Yanyun giant ship is stable enough when sailing, even if it is full of tea, it will not shake a drop, and in this giant ship building, no matter it is the bedroom, living room or study room. The decoration is extremely luxurious, and it looks like it is not inferior to the palace of the Sui Emperor.But Li Xian just didn't get used to it, maybe it could be said that he didn't like it.

After the big ship docked, the first thing Li Xian ordered people to do was to set up a tent on the shore.Then, in Xie Yingdeng's eyes, the protagonist who didn't know how to enjoy himself very much moved the books and even the tables, chairs and benches in the study room of the big boat to the tent with great difficulty.The reason is extremely simple, because Li Xian likes to read books but doesn't like big ships, so he is even more lazy to board the ship to fetch books one after another.

The tents were so full that there was very little room to stay.Tangtang turned against the king all the way, and His Royal Highness Yan Wang ate, slept and read in this somewhat cramped space, and he seemed to be full of comfort and contentment.What I have to say is that even if Li Xian is not the richest man in the world, the wealth under his name has already reached an astonishing level, but he is still very stingy. Of course, this stingy is for himself and not for the opponent's generals.

Speaking of it, no one would believe that Li Xian would never let people throw away the leftovers from the previous meal.Usually his dinner is to reheat the leftovers from lunch, and even Qing Yuan and Huang Luan still feel that this habit is a bit shameful after they have been with Li Xian for so long.

Every time they looked at Li Xian eating those leftovers with surprised eyes, Li Xian didn't care at all.But today I don't know what happened, when the two of them couldn't help but persuade Li Xian not to be so frugal, Li Xian explained to them why he had this habit.

"Although the two of you were miserable when you were young, that is your life experience, not your life. You may not have experienced days and nights of starvation during the harsh winter and lunar months, so hungry that you wanted to gnaw tree bark, and then suddenly found that there was a tree bark in your backpack. What kind of excitement is there for a piece of cold and hard steamed bun left over more than ten days ago. Even if the steamed bun is like a stone, if it is thrown with more strength, even if it can't kill someone, it can smash a bag on the head, but there is no The question is food."

"If a person respects food, he respects his own life."

After Li Xian said this, he didn't say anything else, Qing Yuan and Huang Luan still didn't understand, what's the relationship between respecting food and eating leftovers?At that time, no matter how hard the lord's life was, but now there is no need to live a hard life anymore.Don't say that you are the king of Yan now, even the people with wealthier families will dump those leftovers and feed them to chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs.

Li Xian finished reading the scroll in hand while eating, and then patted his stomach in satisfaction.Seeing that Qingyuan and Huangluan were still surprised, he smiled and said: "The reason why I did this, you can understand is to remind me not to forget my roots. I used to be just a pony thief who ran to the ends of the world just to survive. So I didn't die not because I had noble or cheap blood in my bones, but because I was careful enough and ruthless enough, and I had many brothers and uncles who took care of me and protected me."

"Now you may see that my identity may be very different, but in my own eyes, I am still a horse thief. At best... just a horse thief who is more powerful."

"Some people struggle to get rid of their own identity and seek a higher and better identity that is worth bragging about. But if you forget who you used to be after you really succeed, then it is almost a foregone conclusion that you will end up rich forever."

Li Xian stood up, put on a black mink velvet cloak and walked out, saying, "I must stay awake at all times, so I must always remind myself."

Qing Yuan and Huang Luan still don't understand, what does this have to do with eating leftovers?

They didn't understand, but Li Xian obviously wouldn't say anything.

After getting out of the big tent, Li Xian looked at the sky full of bright stars and let out a long sigh of relief, and then burped without identity. He ate up the half drunk duck left at noon at night.The smell from the stomach was a bit annoying, but Li Xian didn't seem to care at all.

"I'm just a horse thief..."

He whispered something, then walked slowly towards the tent that had just been set up not far away.There was a black carriage parked at the door of the tent, which belonged to Junjiwei.Standing next to the carriage was a woman who was unusually wearing a lavender dress today, outlining a seductive slender waist and round buttocks, making her look extraordinarily charming on this cold spring night.

She looked at Li Xian with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Beside her stood an old man who was already shaped like a dead tree, his face full of grooves was like mud that had been whipped by wicker, yellow and desolate.This man was old enough, so he looked strange under the stars in the night.His figure is very thin and stooped. If Yue Xia walks alone, he might really be regarded as a yellow-skinned child who has become a spirit and comes out to harm people.

He is not a demon, but he has done evil.

……

……

When the old man who looked like a dead tree saw Li Xian walking slowly, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Huaixiu.Ye Huaixiu nodded slowly, and the old man immediately became excited.It was an uncontrollable excitement that made his body tremble uncontrollably.He subconsciously walked towards Li Xian, and then stretched out his hands shaking like chicken feet.

But then he realized what it means to be deeply disappointed.

Li Xian didn't catch those hands, and didn't even look at him more, to be precise, he didn't even look at him at all. It seemed that this old man with a big secret hidden in his body had nothing to do with him for a copper coin.He brushed the old man's body and walked over, walked to Ye Huaishu's side and asked softly, "Is this journey still hard?"

Ye Huaixiu shook his head with a smile, and then replied in a low voice: "There is not much I can do for you now, so it's not hard."

Li Xian smiled and said: "Didn't I have someone tell you that if you arrive too late today, you can go to rest on the big boat and come back to see me tomorrow, but you insist on asking someone to set up a tent here."

Ye Huaixiu said: "I don't know what's wrong, but I, who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, can't get used to sitting on a boat. No matter how big, broad, and stable a boat is, I feel a little apprehensive and worried. I can only step on it with two feet. I feel more reliable on the ground. Now that I have arrived, I don’t want to spend the night on the boat again.”

"Then there's no need to set up another tent."

Li Xian said in a low voice.

Ye Huaixiu blushed, glanced at the old man not far away, and said in a lower voice: "Old Zhen is really too old, and he can't even sit on a boat. After entering the customs from Zhuo County, he boarded the boat He vomits every day, I really don’t know how he survived at such an age, I planned to go by land again, but he insisted on taking the waterway... because the waterway is faster.”

"Is he in a hurry?"

Li Xian asked.

Ye Huaixiu nodded and said, "He is in a hurry."

Li Xian shook his head slowly and said in a flat tone: "I'm not in a hurry...I've been waiting for 20 years, so why be in a hurry. And now I still have some resistance, and I don't want to see him."

"But I must see."

After saying this, Li Xian stepped into the tent that had just been erected. Ye Huaisui turned to look at Lao Zhen, who shook his head with a wry smile and murmured, "He hates me."

Ye Huaixiu hesitated for a moment, then softly comforted: "Go in, the Lord has no murderous aura today."

Not murderous?

Lao Zhen's eyes lit up for a moment and then dimmed again: "But his eyes are still as cold as knives, even if they are not murderous, they can still cut people's hearts."

Ye Huaixiu slowly shook his head and said: "Are you still thinking of letting the lord greet you with tears of tears? Speaking of which... I am already satisfied for you. In the old house of the Li family in Longyou, you became a charred corpse. Speaking of which, only Xiao Di and I know about this, so I can tell you...you don’t understand My lord’s suffering, so don’t use your insignificant suffering as a bargaining chip to win sympathy and forgiveness.”

These words were a bit vicious, but Lao Zhen obviously understood.He nodded solemnly, and then thanked Ye Huaishu.

……

……

No hot tea nor cold wine.

The atmosphere in the room was strangely quiet, so even though Lao Zhen couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional when he talked about the emotional part, it gave people the feeling that the big tent was very quiet, because the listeners were extremely quiet and calm.When Lao Zhen said that part of the past, it didn't seem to stir up any waves in Li Xian's heart.

He just listened quietly, as if Lao Zhen was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.This kind of story abounds in this troubled and sad and turbulent era. As long as you meet a group of refugees, if you want to hear such a story, you can hear countless kinds, each of which makes people feel sad.But other people's pain is someone else's after all, and a moment of sadness is only a moment.When the story involves himself, I am afraid that few people can be as indifferent as Li Xian.

Ye Huaixiu was going to go out, but Li Xian shook his head to signal him to stay.

"There must be someone by my side to witness this matter."

After entering the big tent, Li Xian only said this sentence, and then he didn't speak again.Ye Huaixiu stood beside Li Xian quietly, when she heard about the woman who crashed into the wall and died, the child who was abandoned in front of Wuyan Nunnery, and the child who was buried in the frozen soil, her heart was already overwhelmed.She subconsciously went to look at Li Xian, but he didn't seem to have changed much. The meaning of that expression seemed to be that he was not interested in the story either.

But when she looked away, she still found a trace of pain in Li Xian's eyes.

"The day Mr. Tang asked me to do that, I felt a little dissatisfied... Although Xueqi is just a maid without a name, it is difficult
