Chapter 343 Unfulfilled ambition

Li Xiu and Li Dai went into the room to visit their father.

In a very quiet room, the windows were open, and the warm afternoon sunlight shone into the room. Li Linfu lay quietly on the hospital bed, looking at the dancing snowflakes outside the window. The maid wanted to close the window several times, but he stopped her.

In the last few days, he wanted to take another look at this world that made him extremely nostalgic.

Li Linfu's cheeks were sunken, his face was sallow and dry, with no trace of polish left, his eyes had become cloudy, and there was only a handful of bones left in his body.

He could still move his hands slightly, but he had no feeling below his chest. He looked completely exhausted and had no strength to even speak.

At this time, Li Xiu and Li Dai walked in and knelt down in front of him. Li Linfu turned his head and glanced at them, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He rarely saw the two brothers appearing in front of him at the same time.

"How's the separation?" Li Linfu asked in a very low voice.

"Reporting to my father, I'm almost ready. I'm dividing the family completely in accordance with my father's requirements."

Li Linfu nodded and asked Li Dai in a low voice, "Where is Ye'er? What are you doing?"

Li Dai quickly and respectfully said: "Reporting to father, Ye'er has just come back. He was worried that Wu Ying would take revenge on us, so he tried every means to hunt him down."

"good!"

Li Linfu said with difficulty: "Be careful of the Yuwen family."

Li Xiu's face suddenly became extremely ugly. Just now his fifth brother told him that the massacre of farmers in Heyang County was most likely the revenge of the Yuwen family, and his father also knew it!

"We must be careful!"

At this time, Li Xiu said: "We want to confirm something with father. Has father decided to hand over Lancui Building to Ye'er as his inheritance?"

This matter is very important. If the Lan Cui Lou collection is buried with his father, everyone will have nothing to say. But if it is not buried with him, everyone will be watching. Even Li Xiu cannot make the decision, so there must be a written will from his father.

.

Li Linfu moved his forehead, and Li Xiu understood immediately and took out a flat box from under his father's pillow.

Li Linfu took a breath and said: "No. 5!"

When they opened the box, they found ten letters with numbers on them. Li Xiu and Li Dai's hearts were beating fast. They realized at the same time that these were ten of their father's suicide notes.

They took out the fifth envelope, but it was sealed with paint so that once opened, it could not be restored.

"No need to open it!"

Li Linfu struggled and said: "The incense and porcelain from Lancui Pavilion will be buried with you, and the rest will be inherited by Ye'er!"

Only then did they understand that their father had left a will, which clarified the ownership of Lancui Pavilion. Only the famous incense and porcelain were buried with him, and the rest was inherited by Li Ye.

"We got it!"

Li Linfu said to Li Dai again: "I want to see Ye'er before he leaves."

"The child will let him visit his grandfather tonight."

Li Linfu nodded lightly. He had one last wish, and he could only tell it after meeting Li Ye.

Li Xiu immediately agreed to Li Dai and handed over Lancui Tower to Li Ye for inheritance in accordance with his father's will.

Of course, he had a premise in mind. For the sake of Li Ye being able to save his son, if he could not save his son, he might not execute his father's will.

The two of them immediately came to Lancui Pavilion, which was a four-story green tower guarded by an old woman.

The old woman is called Liuzhu, and everyone calls her Grandma Liuzhu. She is about sixty years old. She has been Li Linfu's personal maid and bodyguard since she was a child. She is very skilled in martial arts. Later she became Li Linfu's concubine and gave birth to two daughters.

, both died in childhood, Liuzhu began to believe in Buddhism, and Li Linfu simply asked her to guard his treasure pavilion for forty years.

Liu Zhu's back was a little hunched, but her steps were still very agile. She opened the door and asked, "Is there anything wrong, eldest son?"

Li Xiu asked: "Has my father ever told my mother-in-law what to do with the collection in Lancui Pavilion?"

Liuzhu nodded, "He told me last year that he would pass it on to Sanjuro."

It turned out that the arrangements were really made. Li Xiu sighed and said, "I just found out that my father said that the incense and porcelain were left for him to take away."

"I packed them all in boxes one by one, so they can be separated. It took me a year to register and box them one by one, so they can be taken away at any time."

Li Dai said: "When the time comes, I will transport them to the second mansion, and my mother-in-law will go there with her."

Liuzhu nodded and closed the door unceremoniously. Li Linfu had rules. Unless it was for transportation, his sons could not enter Lancui Pavilion. No one knew what was stored inside.

Li Xiu originally wanted to see the inventory, but unexpectedly Liu Zhu wouldn't give him a chance.

He could only sigh in his heart and said to Li Dai: "I agreed to Sanshibalang's conditions, what is he going to do?"

Li Dai shook his head, "I don't know the details, but I guess he will start with Gao Lishi!"

Li Xiu felt refreshed. If Gao Lishi was willing to help, his son's crime would be reduced.

At dusk, Li Dai brought his son Li Ye to the main house. The third son Li Yu immediately got the news and hurriedly came to find the second son Li Wei. Both of them were court officials, but they had been adjusted by Yang Guozhong. Li Yu was originally Taichang Shaoqing.

Now he was appointed as the official Zanshan of the East Palace, and Li Wei was changed from the powerful Crown Prince Langzhong to the Sima of Prince Di's palace.

Both of them have become pensioners, but they have also accepted their fate and stay in the house all day doing nothing. These days, they are more like staring at the separated family, fearing that they will miss a bite.

"Second brother, that Thirty-Eighth Man is here, probably to visit his father."

Li Er frowned and said, "How come big brother allows him to come in?"

"I'm also very surprised. I heard that my eldest brother is following me!"

Li Yu looked both ways and whispered: "I also heard that the eldest brother is moving here. Are you planning to give up the second house to the fifth one?"

Li Er's eyes rolled. In fact, he knew that as long as the family was divided, the second house would have to be given away. His father's attitude was very tough, and it would be a matter of time before his eldest brother moved back.

But Li Er was trying to get Li Dai to have a yard in the main house. The yard covers an area of ​​two acres. Once Li Dai moves to the secondary house, the yard must be his.

"Lao San, I have to tell you something clearly. I have many children and the house is really not enough for living. The courtyard of Lao Wu belongs to me."

"How can this be done? I have a lot of children, and I'm about to get married. I don't even have a wedding room."

"Don't you have two small courtyards outside?"

"I bought it with my own money. It has nothing to do with this. You can't monopolize it anyway, or you can compensate me elsewhere!"

The two brothers started fighting among themselves.

At this time, Li Ye was already kneeling in front of his grandfather, holding his withered hand. Li Ye felt sad because his grandfather was almost at the end.

Li Linfu slowly opened his eyes and saw his grandson Li Ye, with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry. I can last another year and a half. I'm just too lazy to care about them."

Li Linfu spent his whole life fighting with others, and when he finally died, he was still secretly fighting with his sons.

But Li Ye could tell that his grandfather's voice was very low and his speech was intermittent. It would be impossible for a year and a half to last, two or three months at most.

"My grandson is leaving for the west in one and a half months. Does my grandfather have anything else to explain?"

"Li Yu is incompetent and proud. Give your grandfather some face and take appropriate care of him."

Li Ye nodded, and Li Linfu struggled and said, "Close the door!"

Li Ye stood up and closed the door. There were only two of them in the room.

Li Linfu struggled and said: "When I was young, I had a fortune teller from Master Yuan. He said that I will be in a very powerful position. The ministers said that my descendants will be in disaster. If I can overcome the disaster, I will be extremely valuable."

The words were too long, and Li Linfu couldn't catch them in one breath. He was panting. He waved his hand to ask Li Ye not to interrupt him and to calm down a little. He said again: "Ten days later, Master Yuan Keshi became immortal, and he stayed with his apprentice.

In a word, the Hu demon will appear in a period of time, the world will be in chaos, a new master will appear, and it will be now in a period of time, Ye'er, do you understand?"

Li Ye nodded, "Hu Yao should refer to Anlu Mountain!"

"An Lushan is a Hu demon. I can suppress the demon... Yang Guozhong can't. After my death... the world will be in chaos!"

Li Ye held his grandfather's hand and said calmly: "Grandpa, there is still me!"

Li Linfu held his grandson's hand tightly, and his eyes shone with a strange light. He trembled his lips and said in a very low voice: "If possible, give me the temple name Wenzong."

This is the secret that Li Linfu has hidden in his heart all his life, and it is also his last wish.

Li Ye nodded slowly.

Two muddy old tears flowed from Li Linfu's dry eyes.
