462 Keeping the Plant
I owe you so many updates, but I don’t remember how much I owe you. In this way, today we have a big explosion, and we will make up for the fourth update. I will make up for the rest.
On the last day of the month, dear, let me throw the pink tickets, give me some motivation and try to make more updates.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a village not far from Mount Tai in Shandong Prefecture, two brothers were welcomed on that day.
Ling Xu knocked on the door of Li Zheng’s house and showed a warm smile on his face.
"I am a scholar from Liaodong Prefecture, this is my way." Ling Xu first gave him something to prove his identity. When he saw that he was such a young scholar, Ling Xu and Xiaokangzi were warmly welcomed to Li Zheng's house.
Ling Xu explained his "meaning" and after studying here, he wanted to stay here for a while and admire the majesty of Mount Tai.
A scholar took his brother out for study tour. He was still so young and sweet-mouthed. He was easily agreed by the inner court and even greeted the others in the village.
Ling Xu refused the invitation to stay at Li Zheng's house, but moved to the dilapidated City God Temple at the entrance of the village to live.
The City God Temple was leaking everywhere, and no one had lived there for many years. There was only one beggar-in-law living here. After Ling Xu arrived, he did not drive away the boy, but instead took him to follow him. Update 462 Shouzhu looked at Lei Zi, who was only fourteen years old, and his eyes were a little wet before he knew it.
Lei Zi, another capable general in his previous life, was begging for many years in Shandong Prefecture... When he met Lei Zi in his previous life, he was being chased and killed. At that time, he was almost thirty years old.
Meeting him in advance in this life is also the reason why Ling Xu chose this village.
Whether in the past or present life, Ling Xu is the savior of Xiaokangzi and Lei Zi. They are indescribable respect for Ling Xu. It is just different from Xiaokangzi's silence. Lei Zi is a boy with a lot of ideas.
"Young Master, if you don't study, what are you looking for on this mountain all day?" After spending half a month with Ling Xu, Lei Zi not only grew fat, but also became brave. He was familiar with the mountains and rivers here. Ling Xu took him and Xiaokangzi to climb mountains and wading all day, and he had no accurate purpose, just to stroll on the mountains everywhere.
"Studying around is not necessarily a study, but studying is not necessarily a matter of studying. Seeing all the mountains and rivers of our Daqian is also a matter of gaining insights." Ling Xu pointed to the mountains in the distance and said with a smile: "Lei Zi, look there."
"Isn't it just a mountain bag? What's the matter?" Lei Zi didn't understand why. In fact, the mountain was not short, with an altitude of more than 400 meters. The reason why Lei Zi called it a mountain bag was that he had seen the majesty of Mount Tai. How many mountains under the world, compared with Mount Tai, are not mountain bags. Update 462. "It's mountain bag, but there are also differences between mountain bags." Ling Xu did not rush to correct his mistake, but said: "The mountain bag is on both sides, one is facing a river, and the other is a cliff. Look here, if we are trapped on the mountain, where do we want to leave?" If there is no deviation in memory, the emperor will be trapped here in a month. How to save the emperor at that time is Ling Xu's primary task.
The emperor would never sit idly by the way of saving the Lord.
Ling Xu took a deep breath and had to repeat some old ways. Even if he was reborn once, many things could not be changed.
"I will not be trapped." Lei Zi said confidently: "This mountain is so big, it is a dream to trap the entire mountain. There is a small road on the mountain, and I can run away secretly."
Ling Xu smiled. This is also one of the reasons why he was rushing to find Lei Zi.
"Don't think about whether you will trap you first, just say. If you trap, what should you do?" Ling Xu tilted his head and looked at him.
Lei Zi thought for a while. "I can jump into the river and roam, but I can't catch me."...
Ling Xu looked at the turbulent river water and shook his head, "Not mentioning whether you can really get to the riverside. This place is turbulent. Even if you can wander, it is not a joke if you have any trouble." Even if the emperor encounters danger, he is afraid he will not jump into the river to escape.
"Isn't there still the cliff in the back mountain? Take the rope and go along." Lei Zi said without giving in.
Cliff?
It's also a good idea to tie people up and slowly put them down.
It’s just that the emperor’s body is extremely noble, and this method cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
Seeing that Ling Xu didn't say anything for a long time, Lei Zi thought he had agreed with his method, so he said, "Young Master, I'm so awesome in climbing trees. It should be okay to climb a cliff. Don't worry, if I really encounter trouble, I can definitely protect the young master."
There was a sneer behind her, and Lei Zi tilted his head to look at Xiaokangzi, "What's wrong, are you not convinced?" This big man doesn't speak on weekdays, and now he says, "It's a shame to himself."
Lei Zi is a competitive and immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't agree, let's try it?"
Xiaokangzi gave him a blank look, "Master's kung fu is very good, so don't embarrass your three-legged kung fu." Although the days with Ling Xu were short, Xiaokangzi had seen Ling Xu's ability and knew that he was very good at kung fu and was no match for him.
"Isn't the young master a scholar? Why do you still have kung fu?" Lei Zi was seriously skeptical.
"Who said that the scholar can't master knows kung fu?" The guy with shallow knowledge, that is, the master is kind, took him in. "My kung fu is guided by the young master, so don't think about it."
Lei Zi's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Xiaokangzi was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he gave him a blank look and looked around with vigilance. Wild beasts emerged from time to time on the hillside, so be careful.
Lei Zi rubbed his hands and moved to Ling Xu with a smile. "Young Master, let's discuss something with you."
Ling Xu couldn't see his little thoughts. This guy in his previous life had followed him for decades and had already figured out his temperament. "Oh?" Ling Xu raised his eyebrows.
Lei Zi pretended to be shy and said, "Can you teach me some kung fu?"
"What are you doing when you learn kung fu?" Ling Xu said in surprise.
"I have learned to protect the young master." Lei Zi said it for granted. He held up his not-wide chest and said confidently: "Although our Lei Zi is young, we know how to repay kindness. You saved my life. From now on, Lei Zi's life will belong to the young master. Naturally, you must learn to protect the young master."
Xiaokangko sneered, "My master is better than you, so how can I use you to protect me?"
Lei Zi stared at him and looked at Ling Xu with a flattering look on his face. "Since the young master is powerful, I have to learn kung fu even more, otherwise there will be danger. Should I ask the young master to protect me?"
"You think beautifully." Xiaokangzi said angrily: "No, I have to teach you kung fu. Start tomorrow, oh no, you will learn from me from today." It's still far away along the way. If you really encounter danger, you can't let your master protect him.
"Young master is better than you, I don't want you to teach you." Lei Zi retorted.
Ling Xu smiled and said, "Xiaokangzi has a good foundation in Kung Fu. Lei Zi, just learn from him first." After looking at the mountain again, Ling Xu turned around and left. He remembered that when he looked through the archives of the Jinyiwei in his previous life, he knew that there was a hidden cave in the mountain.
Ling Xu lived in the Chenghuang Temple with two and a half-old boys and stopped going out. He bought a lot of rice, flour, meat, oil and other things with his fellow villagers, and started his "study hard".
Xiaokangzi made a lot of jerky meat and hanged it up after it was air-dried.
Lei Zi has been begging for food since he was a child and has a flexible body. Recently, he has eaten well with Ling Xu and lived well. He has also maintained his body well and practiced his skills very seriously.
Ling Xu locked himself up and wrote and painted every day, but he didn't know what he was busy with.
The emperor had already arrived at Mount Tai to worship the sky, and the headquarters was located in a place dozens of miles away from the village. Within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, they had received warnings from the government. Don’t walk around during this period, stay at home obediently.
For this reason, the village came to tell Ling Xu, a foreign scholar, but after seeing the young scholar staying in seclusion at home all day long, he no longer worried. He also asked the old woman at home to send them some eggs. Ling Xu took it with great gratitude and delivered a jar of wine that was prepared, which was a gift.
Everyone in the village knew that there was a young scholar living in Chenghuang Temple. Many people even dealt with Ling Xu. Sometimes it was two kilograms of rice, sometimes it was a bowl of oil, and sometimes it was a piece of meat. Ling Xu did not let the villagers suffer any losses every time. Gradually, the big guys' favor towards them increased. Sometimes the aunts and aunts in the village made delicious food and specially asked the children at home to send some.
Ling Xu also talked to the villagers about his "past". Everyone knows that this scholar is the youngest scholar in Liaodong Prefecture. He went out to study and admired the cultural heritage of Shandong Prefecture. He lived here for a while.
In less than a month, Ling Xu was already familiar with most of the villagers here.
Many people in the village know Lei Zi. Speaking of which, this kid has lived here for more than a year, and everyone has a good impression of this child. Although he is a little beggar, he has never been stealing. Therefore, although the three of them are foreigners, they have a good reputation in the village. Xiaokangzi even helps everyone do some farm work from time to time, which makes everyone's favor more.
Ling Xu was thinking about this. Although he was a credit for saving the chariot, the emperor was also suspicious. It was a coincidence that he had appeared here. If the emperor sent someone to investigate, if someone said something unfavorable to him, it would be troublesome. Therefore, Ling Xu arrived here early and lived in some villages along the way, just to leave traces of his study tour and let the emperor know that even if he saved the chariot, it would be a coincidence.
In this era, Ling Xu never asked about the emperor's sacrifice to heaven in order to avoid people's suspicion, but he was calculating in his heart.
Ling Xu knew that the emperor would take people out for fun a few days later, and then besieged by the White Lotus Cultists. It was a eunuch in the palace who was bribed and sold out the news that the emperor left the headquarters, and almost harmed the emperor.
