Misfortune and blessing
Chapter 14 Survival from Desperation
It was already dusk after cleaning the iron shop. Wei Xi was already an expert at tidying up things. The small iron shop became completely new because of the efforts of the two of them.
Although Mr. Li didn't give them a good face at first, he took them home that night, gave them a rough meal, and agreed to let them spend the night in a corner of the house.
In the middle of the night, when Old Li was eating potatoes and drinking wine, Luo Tian, who was supposed to be dozing off in the corner, walked by his side.
Old Li was not a simple character. When the pair of children came to him, he immediately knew that Wei Xi didn't have any martial arts skills, but Luo Tianxing was different.
"You should have heard all the words during the day, right?" It's really not easy to have such a cultivation level at such a young age.
Luo Tianxing nodded. "To be honest, senior, my father is Luo Zhenyu, the leader of the Sacred Fire Sect who conspired with Mr. Guan."
Old man Li was startled by the young man's frank words, and looked up at him.
"When my father left that day, he told me that he and Mr. Guan went to the capital this time for the sake of the people and the future of Daliang. But now, he and Mr. Guan are plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Wei for personal gain, and even collaborating with the enemy and treason." Luo Tianxing Shake your head. "Father is tied with the lives of more than 1 members of my Holy Fire Sect. I don't believe he would be so foolish and make such a big mistake." The impulsive and desperate person in the family has always been his self-righteous mother. Fortunately, she never Not capable of making big mistakes.
Old Li sighed. "He didn't," he said the next moment. "Because I asked him to come."
***
Twenty years ago, Li Yi was a well-known figure in Jiangbei. With an iron crutch, he fought all over the world.
Although he retired to Huainan to work as a blacksmith, no matter the court or the Jianghu, there are always a few old friends.
Guan You is one of them.
Li Yi has known Guan You since he was a small soldier, and became friends with him all the way until Guan You became a general of the Fuguo. Although Guan You was called to guard Jiaozhou in recent years, he had to meet several times a year.
"When Guan You returned to Beijing and passed by Huainan in the middle of last year, we met. Guan You, who always looked sad, was not as sighing as he was at the beginning of the year, but was full of joy."
Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help asking. "What happened, so happy?"
"Old Li, you don't know something." Guan You never regarded Li Yi as an outsider, and after drinking three rounds, he could say anything. "Daliang is hopeful."
Li Yi was puzzled and asked. "How is this going?"
"Do you remember Luo Wu?"
When Guan You mentioned this person, Li Yi showed embarrassment. "Master Guan is referring to Luo Wu of the Xuanyuan Sect?"
"Yes." Guan You said resentfully. "I know that he has a bad reputation and has done some wrong things. But now, he intends to surrender, and I am employing someone again..."
Is that just something wrong?People who bully teachers and destroy ancestors are not trustworthy at all, but Li Yi made a gesture. "I'm just worried that my lord will be deceived by him. If you really think he is sincere, don't worry about me."
Hearing this, Guan You could only nod his head. "I knew that Mr. Li was also thinking about the country."
Li Yi shook his head. "They are already half-entrenched in coffins, so don't make jokes, my lord."
"No, no, Mr. Li, you must listen to me." Maybe it was because he was drinking, or maybe he was talking about something happy, but Guan You didn't want to stop at all. "Do you know that Luo Wu has a great way to deal with several things..."
Li Yi already had a prejudice against Luo Wu, but he reluctantly listened to a few good things about Luo Wu when he saw his friends say so dearly.
The terrain of Jiaozhou is complex, the people's customs are self-sufficient, and Hu Yue's behavior is invading, so it is not an easy place to govern.After Guan You guarded Jiaozhou, he won several battles, but he had no progress on how to get along with the local people or deal with Hu Yue's problems.Luo Wu is a long-sleeved and good dancer, and he handles things more meticulously than Guan You. He came down several times to calm down many trivial matters for Guan You.
"I found out afterwards that Luo Wu is from Wei Xiang."
Speaking of Wade, Li Yi raised his eyes.
"When I was in the capital, I had many disputes with Wei Xiang, but he didn't think he didn't mind at all. Knowing that I had a problem in Jiaozhou, he specially sent Luo Wu to help me." Guan You is a straight-tempered person who always repays favors. , Seeing his happy appearance, Li Yi felt worried.
"But I remember that when Mr. Guan was called to Jiaozhou, the Prime Minister obstructed him a lot. In addition, he and Empress Fang have been confronting each other in the court all these years. At this moment, he asked Luo Wu to help him. Is it because he is really for Daliang?" How to say? , he didn't believe it.
"I doubted that too, but Luo Wu gave me this."
Li Yi took the letters in his hand, all of which were written by Wade to Luo Wu, such as how to help Guan You and things to pay attention to.
"Letters can be forged."
Guan You nodded. "But this won't work." He showed the letter in his arms, which turned out to be a secret decree from King Huyue. The secret decree Chen Ming wished to restore the old relationship with Daliang and become a brotherly state, etc.
Li Yi was stunned for a while, then said. "Master Guan is loyal to the country, if Hu Yue really wants to seek peace, it will be a blessing for all people."
"Oh! Mr. Li, it's not intentional or unintentional, it's true." Guan You put away the secret order, patted his chest, and said contentedly. "After guarding Hu Yue for so many years, I can finally retire and return home."
Seeing this, Li Yi sighed in his heart.
Although it is only when the country is in crisis that one can see who is truly for the country, but what should be done if what is shown in front of your eyes is only a false appearance mixed with poisonous schemes?
Li Yi thought about it, and informed Luo Zhenyu that night.
"Why is it my father?"
"Guan You joined the Sacred Fire Cult when he was young, and he can be regarded as Master Luo's uncle. He has always been on good terms with the Sacred Fire Sect. I thought at the time that the Sacred Fire Sect has a great career and has connections everywhere. If Mr. Guan is in Beijing Something happened, so I can help. As soon as Master Luo received the letter, he rushed with me, but before we arrived in the capital, we heard that something happened to Guan You."
Guan You, who was still in high spirits in his room a few days ago, fell into a strange disease before he arrived in the capital, and he was always weak.
After a few days of investigation, I found many doctors, but nothing came of it.Guan You was not a calm person in the first place, and he was about to go to Beijing without waiting for a doctor. On that day, Wade unexpectedly appeared.
"He came so suddenly that Hierarch Luo and I didn't even have a chance to hide. Thinking about it now, although he sent Luo Wu to follow Guan You, he probably couldn't wait."
As a prime minister, Wade's attitude is very humble, without the look of being superior in the past, Guan You has long been taken in by him, and seeing him come to visit, he is even more convinced to him to the end.
In a few words, he was caught out of his illness, and he agreed to escort Guan You to Beijing.
"I saw that he was determined to go his own way, so I couldn't say anything more, so I left that night. But your father is a junior after all, so he gave Guan You an extra ride."
"Later, I heard that Guan You was imprisoned as soon as he saw the emperor. The secret decree was false, and the tribute tea Hu Yue sent was poisonous... Drinking that tea will make people weak and weak."
"Guan You loves wine as well as tea. King Huyue not only sent someone to send a secret decree, but also asked him to bring a batch of tribute tea to Beijing. I guess Guan You couldn't help but drink a pot of it secretly, that's why he came here. There will be a strange disease."
Li Yi sighed. "Just imagine, if Guan You had known that the tea was poisonous, why would he drink it secretly? If he knew that the secret decree was false, how could he have come to Beijing? Pity your father for being troubled because of me, and the thousands of members of the Holy Fire Sect." It's all because of me..." Li Yi turned to Luo Tianxing, his red eyes filled with regret. "Young Master, it is the old man who is sorry for you and the Holy Fire Cult." He was about to kneel down after saying that.
But Luo Tianxing supported him. "My father said to me before leaving: Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go. This is his own decision, so who is to blame?"
Li Yi asked. "but I……"
Luo Tianxing shook his head. "Dare to ask senior, where is the Luowu people?"
"Na Luo Wu is now the general of the Twelve Guards in the capital." After saying this, Li Yi's expression changed. "Why did the young master say that? Could it be..."
Luo Tianxing replied. "To tell you the truth, I plan to send my friend home first, and then I'm going to find Luo Wu. The cause of everything is this person, and only this person can unravel all the truth."
Li Yi sighed. "I know what you're thinking, but you're just a child."
Luo Tianxing smiled slightly. "Seniors worry too much, the country hates the family and the family hates the present, even children have to grow up."
In the corner, the person pretending to close his eyes opened his eyes and looked at the two people who were talking. Reflected by the candlelight, there was a hint of sadness on the always smiling face, and the light in the round eyes was dim.
Wei Xi didn't know what to do to let him show his carelessness again?
After a long time, Li Yi went back to his room, and Luo Tianxing came back to him.Wei Xi closed his eyes, he felt Luo Tianxing's body leaning against him without any hesitation.
A floating heart instantly settled down because of the temperature he brought.
"Xiaoxi." He heard him calling his name, small and shallow, as if he was talking about a secret that no one knew. "Are you awake?"
Wei Xi opened his eyes, the two were so close, the emotions in his eyes were clearly visible. "I said, I won't leave you."
Luo Tianxing's eyelashes were half closed. "I don't want to bother you."
Wei Xi looked at him and said softly. "Do you know? I have grown taller. I used to be at the position of your shoulders, but now I have reached the tip of your nose. Next, we will be the same height. Then, I will be taller than you, at least half a head taller."
Luo Tianxing opened his eyes.
Wei Xi stretched out his right hand to caress Luo Tianxing's face, a circle of silver light shone faintly on his wrist.
After these few months, these hands are no longer as soft as when they first met, with a thin roughness, but Luo Tianxing closed his eyes forgetfully under his touch.
"Just like I rely on you, you can also rely on me." Wei Xi looked at him with firm eyes like stars. "You are not alone."
When Luo Tianxing heard this, his eyes were slightly bent, and the corners of his mouth were lifted into a bright smile. "Why does this sound like abduction to me?" One child tried to abduct another.
National hatred and family hatred always make children mature too early. Wei Xi, who just passed her 13th birthday, looked straight at Luo Tianxing, her gaze unhesitating, but her voice trembling unavoidably. "I do want to kidnap you," thought desperately.
"Okay, let's abduct."
Looking into his smiling eyes, Wei Xi felt a desire to kiss Luo Tianxing's red lips. He leaned forward a little, and the tips of his noses almost touched. "I am serious."
"Me too." Luo Tianxing grinned, closed his eyes in front of him, and slowly fell asleep.
Wei Xi approached his face and touched it lightly with his lips.
I'm not kidding, Xiaotian, do you understand?
Although Mr. Li didn't give them a good face at first, he took them home that night, gave them a rough meal, and agreed to let them spend the night in a corner of the house.
In the middle of the night, when Old Li was eating potatoes and drinking wine, Luo Tian, who was supposed to be dozing off in the corner, walked by his side.
