After Emperor Hongdao paid homage to the God of War, he did not return to the palace immediately. Instead, he turned to the queen and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Our son is going to be the emperor. I have done a lot of stupid things in my life, but I have not treated you mother and son badly. I have one last wish, which I am waiting for Zhuizhi to help me realize."
Emperor Hongdao used his throne to talk to the queen because he wanted to tell the queen that although my words are not easy to use now, don't you two want to be justified?
The clever Queen Empress knew what it meant. When she saw him, she looked at Emperor Hongdao with a smile and said, "Go back to the palace first. Zhuizhi will do his best."
Emperor Hongdao was sitting in the dragon chariot, his eyes always staring at Mupin Mountain. Even if he turned his head, he wanted to take another look.
The queen on the side shook her head, she knew that the time of that arrogant man was really running out.
Li Taiping watched Emperor Hongdao leave, then turned around and said with a smile: "Didn't Ninth Sister want to slap her in the mouth? I think this can be done."
"Who do you want to slap?"
Li Taiping turned his head and greeted him with a smile: "Taiping has met his grandfather."
Mu Daozong said coldly: "Where is this place? Why don't you have a door to your mouth? Come on, follow me home."
Li Taiping originally planned to ask General Peng again, but now he can only give up temporarily.
After getting on the carriage, he admired Daozong with a straight face and said angrily: "You still know how to come back!"
Mu Pinshan hurriedly put his arm on the old man's arm and said coquettishly: "Isn't this coming? Besides, you haven't been home for many years, and you haven't been angry at all. Why are you so picky now?"
Mu Daozong glared at Li Taiping and said, "Can it be the same? Why are you planning to bring the baby back to see me, your grandfather?"
Two red clouds appeared on Mu Pinshan's pretty face, and she said shyly: "Grandpa, why are you talking so nonsense? Isn't it because we haven't gotten married yet?"
"The saint is well aware of the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Later I will go find Wen Yuan and settle your days. Grandpa will be relieved of his heart ailment."
Seeing that Erxiao was silent, Mu Daozong said: "Actually, it might be better to come back later. Once the God of War leaves, I'm afraid King Qi will take action."
Li Taiping said: "What does the old emperor want? He doesn't really want to see blood staining the palace walls."
Mu Daozong sighed and said: "It would have been better if we had dismissed King Qi earlier, but now it is too late. Even though Peng Gengche is the head of the Jinwu Guard, he can really mobilize not more than half of the people."
Li Taiping frowned and said: "Grandpa, the other half is in the hands of King Qi. That will be a big trouble."
Mu Daozong smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, Dalang? There is a master in your family who is in charge. Now that you have Dalang in your family, I don't believe that King Qi dares to mess around."
Li Taiping asked in confusion: "Who is above the Grand Master?"
"Red Lotus Divine Monk has always been at your house for food and accommodation, don't you know?"
Li Taiping was so surprised that he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I have been away from home for nearly a year, how come that monster monk still refuses to leave?"
Mu Daozong smiled and said, "I have to ask your sister-in-law."
Speaking of Sai Jinhua, Mu Daozong stared at Li Taiping for a while and said, "How you left Honglian behind, I don't know. I only know that your sister-in-law is not simple."
Li Taiping knew Sai Jinhua's business skills, but he didn't even know how much money his family had now.
"My sister-in-law has a lot of business acumen, so I just let her do whatever she wants."
Mu Daozong shook his head and said: "Dalang still knows too little. Daxing City used to have the second master, the first floor, and the first gate. Does Dalang know who will take over after Cui Tianba and Cui Master are missing?"
Mu Daozong asked this, and even a fool knew what was going on. Li Taiping was surprised and said: "How did she do it?"
"You have to go back and ask about this. However, based on what I know, if your sister-in-law roars, the underground world of Daxing City will be shaken."
Mu Daozong didn't care whether Li Taiping believed it or not, and suddenly changed the topic: "I don't want to take care of those things in your family, but when my granddaughter gets married, who makes the decision in this family, it can't be Sai Jinhua."
Mu Pinshan hurriedly pulled on his grandfather's sleeve and whispered: "My granddaughter doesn't care about that. Besides, Taiping and I don't plan to live in Daxing forever."
Mu Daozong immediately straightened his face and lectured: "Silly boy, do you know how big the family fortune is, and what kind of power you hold in your hands."
"Through grandfather's investigation this year, Sai Jinhua has a fleet in his hands, a fleet that can destroy small countries. The Li family is now tied to the Cui family. There is no shortage of money, food, or soldiers.
.If Da Lang is willing, there is hope for conquering the world."
Mu Taozong did not avoid Li Taiping at all, and even said that he might have told Li Taiping on purpose.
Before there was no strength, people only wanted stability. After gaining strength, their desires will expand accordingly.
Li Taiping hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The important thing in a person is to know how big your feet are and how big your shoes are. If you ask me to sit on that chair in the palace, I won't even sit on it. That's not a human job."
Mu Daozong just tried it out, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Grandfather knows that Taiping is not here. How can the hard life of a human emperor compare to the happy life of an immortal?"
"However, when my little princess gets married, she can ignore all the troubles in the world, but she must be the top leader in the Li family both inside and outside."
Li Taiping nodded hurriedly and said: "That's natural, that's natural."
"By the way, Grandpa knows who the chair should be..."
Just as Mu Daozong was about to speak, he saw Li Taiping making a gesture of silence, lifting the car curtain and glancing above his head.
"It's Bai Yunzi who's gone far away."
Li Taiping was so stunned that he couldn't help but frown and said, "Didn't Bai Yunzi run away?"
Mu Daozong told Li Taiping about keeping Bai Yunzi in the academy, and Mu Pinshan watched Li Taiping's reaction closely.
Li Taiping just nodded, and then changed the subject and said: "If King Qi is determined to fight with me, even if I join forces with the demon monk, I will still be exhausted. So I plan to let Sai Jinhua take his family out to escape.
, there is no need to take such big risks during this critical period."
When the carriage arrived at Mu's Mansion, Li Taiping did not get off the car. He had to go home first and finalize the matter. After all, the old emperor's face had a dark air, which was not much different from the one in the emperor's mausoleum.
Besides, who knows if someone might be impatient and show the knife first.
The battle for the throne is a battle of swords and blood. If you lose, it's not a life. It's a matter of your head. How can it be as peaceful as it seems on the surface?
The carriage stopped in front of the Li Mansion. Before Li Taiping got out of the car, he heard the sound of armor...
After getting off the carriage, Li Taiping saw a soldier wearing a helmet and an armour, armed to the teeth, striding in front of the carriage.
"Who is the young master? Why do you want to visit Li Mansion?"
Li Taiping never expected that one day he would have to be notified when he returned home. He couldn't help but look at the eight tall soldiers in front of his house, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"My Excellency, Li Taiping, would like to ask the officer to inform you."
These people must not have been sent by Uncle Hou, otherwise how could they not even be recognized by the regular guests of Hou Mansion.
But the soldier frowned and said, "Li Taiping, which Li Taiping!".
There are stupid people and smart people everywhere. As soon as Li Taiping got out of the car, he turned around and ran into the concierge and dragged the old concierge out.
"Slow down, slow down. My old bones can't stand your dragging."
At the door, the old man rubbed his eyes, and the next moment he patted his thigh and shouted: "The master is back, the master is back."
The master of the Li family is rarely seen throughout the year. It can be said that he is the person with the least sense of existence in the Li family. But for such a person, once he returns home, it will be like a Chinese New Year for the whole family.
If you block your master from the door, if he is not happy, then you are ruining your job. That was a soldier. He knelt down on one knee and said with his head hanging down.
"Hu Zi failed to recognize the master, please punish me."
Li Taiping patted Huzi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The responsibility does not lie with you, but with the master. The master has not been home every year and has become a stranger to this family."
The old janitor kicked Huzi's butt and said with a smile: "This kick is considered punishment for the master. When the lady comes back, she must keep her eyes open. If she makes a mistake..."
The story of the Li family's successful mountain climbing had long been spread in Daxing City. The Li family's wife was finally settled, and all she had to send was a large sedan chair to welcome her in.
"Madam hasn't come back?"
Li Taiping smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, my wife is going home to pay her respects to her parents first, and she will be back later."
The old gatekeeper smiled and nodded: "That's good, that's good."
Just as he said that, Qian Mancang came out quickly. He was wearing a Shu brocade robe and his face was white and pink. When he smiled, his face became rounder, which looked really festive.
"Master, you are finally back. Master is not at home. The warehouse is full and I can't eat or sleep well. Hey, where is my wife?"
Qian Mancang said, looking towards the carriage.
Li Taiping laughed and said, "Let's go home and talk."
One year is neither long nor short, but the home we once had has undergone earth-shaking changes.
First of all, there were more people. There were many more strong men wearing armor, and we also saw some martial arts warriors with swords. The house had obviously been renovated, but most of them were done as they were before, without destroying the original appearance. It just looked new.
A little more, and a little richer.
Li Taiping was looking at the changes in his home. Before he reached the main hall, he suddenly felt a warning sign and couldn't help but frown.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The Three Chai Swords came out one after another and soared straight into the sky...
Qian Mancang had never learned martial arts and was shocked, but his reaction was not unpleasant. He shouted: "Protect me, protect me."
Although Qian Mancang is an ordinary person, he is unambiguous these days. He does not hesitate to stand in front of the master and opens his arms like an old hen protecting its chicks.
The guard had a powerful crossbow in his hand, and he immediately looked in the direction of the flying sword, but he didn't see a single figure at all.
The guards were very puzzled. Their master was said to be a big shot above the sword-killing master. The rumors couldn't be false.
Just when the guards were confused, a terrifying wave of true energy appeared in the direction pointed by the tip of the sword... This chapter has been completed!
