After lunch that day, it was a sunny and comfortable time.
In the Yin family courtyard.
The head of the Yin family, Yin Wuque, was pruning the potted plants he had carefully cultivated with scissors, while standing beside him was his old housekeeper.
"Sir! There is a man named Li Xiang outside the door. He claims to be the son-in-law of the Gu family. He looks very young, less than twenty years old. He said he is here to wish you a happy new year?"
"Gu family's son-in-law? Li Xiang? Do we have any dealings with him or the Gu family?"
Yin Wuque was still pruning his potted plants without looking back, seeming to ignore it.
"No! Sir, Prime Minister Li is here as the son-in-law of the Gu family. In addition, there has been a lot of quarrel with the Bai family recently. It is estimated that there will be no good things coming here!" The old housekeeper saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.
"Then you can tell me later that I'm not here and have gone out to pay New Year greetings." Yin Wuque said subconsciously.
Almost all of his words will be subconsciously searched in the mind when the key words are triggered.
The old housekeeper raised his head and glanced at Yin Wuque, then said cautiously,
"I said it at the beginning, but Prime Minister Li is young but very mature. He said..."
The old housekeeper took out a palm-sized sandalwood box, sealed it, handed it to Yin Wuque and said,
"He said that as long as you see this thing, you will definitely go out to see him!"
When Yin Wuque heard these words, he turned around and glanced at the things in the old housekeeper's hands, and his doubtful eyes turned into disdain.
"You said Prime Minister Li is only twenty years old? He knows how to do this?"
"Does Mr. Li think he is the center of the universe because he stole the show at the Gu family's annual meeting? He broke up with the Bai family on the first day of the new year? Just let him go. We won't get involved with him.
Wading in troubled waters!”
After Yin Wuque finished speaking, he started pruning his flowers and plants again and hummed a little tune.
After hesitating for a while, the old housekeeper put the box sent by Li Xiang on the stone table beside him, turned around and went to see off the guests.
The entrance to the Yin family courtyard.
"Mr. Li, I just went to look for my husband and found that he was not at home. After I contacted him, he was out celebrating the New Year! If you have something urgent, you can tell me first and I will tell my husband for you then!"
The old housekeeper smiled and said to Li Xiang.
However, Li Xiang did not answer his words. He looked at his empty hands and looked at the old housekeeper with a meaningful look and said, "Have you received the box?"
"Receive...No! The master is not here, how can you receive it? Mr. Li, you really like to joke! Haha." The old butler replied with a smile as a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This guy is really insidious, showing no morals to an old man!
"Okay, in that case, please ask the housekeeper to be busy by then! I've been waiting for news about him at the Gu family these days!"
"good."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.
The old housekeeper secretly sighed, shook his head and closed the door when he heard Yin Wuque's voice coming from behind.
"Wait! Wait! Liu Waizi!"
The old housekeeper was a little surprised. He didn't know what happened to his master, but he was so frightened that he shouted his name and ran over.
This was something he had never seen before.
At this time, Yin Wuque was still holding the box sent by Li Xiang, with a very panic expression and sweat on his head, and asked the old housekeeper,
"Where is Prime Minister Li? Is Prime Minister Li still there?"
"Master, didn't you let him go? He has left now." The old housekeeper answered truthfully.
After hearing the news, Yin Wuque's expression changed several degrees, and he was shocked and said, "Leave?! Did he say anything before he left?"
After thinking for a while, the old housekeeper replied with a strange look on his face, "He said he has been waiting for the master at Gu's house for the past few days."
The old housekeeper was puzzled. Yin Wuque had always been calm and cautious. He had never been so emotional...
"It's broken, it's broken! Now that the three pillars are standing together, Prime Minister Li has no choice but to let me get involved in this muddy water!"
Yin Wuque muttered to himself, ran a few steps with the box in his arms, then turned back, thrust the box into the hands of the old butler, and said solemnly,
"Liu Waizi, find a place to bury it! Don't let others see it, let alone yourself! Also, you must bury it yourself!"
"Okay, sir."
The old housekeeper agreed without thinking.
"After burying it, today's events will be treated as if they never happened. It has never happened that Mr. Li came to our Yin family. Do you understand?!" Yin Wuque said with great seriousness, his face sweating profusely.
"I understand, Master, just don't worry about what I do!"
"good."
Yin Wuque hurried back to the room, seemingly preparing something to set off.
After the old housekeeper waited for Yin Wuque to leave, he carried the sandalwood box alone and came to a corner of the yard.
It was time for the Chinese New Year, and most of the Yin family's servants and butlers had gone back to celebrate the New Year. The only steward who changed shifts with him was still on his lunch break, so the old butler didn't pay much attention.
He took a shovel and dug a small hole in a hurry. He just picked up the sandalwood box and was about to put it in the hole. When he was burying it in the soil with the shovel...
The old housekeeper glanced around with a sly look, and after making sure that no one was there, he felt hesitant again.
But after a while, he made up his mind and reached out to open the box.
"I want to see what it is that scares my master like that!"
I said this just to give myself some inner comfort.
When the old butler opened the sandalwood box, he was immediately frightened by the contents. He fell to the ground and covered his mouth with his hands to prevent himself from making a sound!
A pair of bloody palms were folded quietly inside the wooden box. Even the blood on them had not yet solidified and was flowing drop by drop!
But his fingers were unusually quick, and he could clearly see the word "white" written on the ring on his finger!
Surprised, the old housekeeper looked around again and quickly buried the pit!
...
On the other hand, Li Xiang did not directly look back at home. Instead, he walked alone on the streets of Beijing with a fresh atmosphere, enjoying the time that belonged to him alone.
The hands buried in the Yin family are naturally those of the Bai family's Baiyun, and what he did is naturally those of Li Xiang.
Now that the four major aristocratic families in the capital have become the Three Kingdoms, it is impossible for the Yin family to be alone.
Li Xiang had no choice but to imitate the episode in Three Kingdoms and send Baiyun's hand to the Yin family. Naturally, they would no longer sit back and watch.
As for the Bai family, now that they had opened the skylight to talk to the Gu family, Li Xiang didn't bother to talk nonsense. He sneaked into the Bai family alone, found Bai Yun, unloaded it with his hands, put it in a box and gave it to Yin Wuque.
Baiyun was beaten like that by Li Xiang yesterday. Today, Li Xiang completed the plan without any effort. It was so smooth.
"Oh, I just don't know who will arrive at Gu's house first, Yin Wuque or me?"
Li Xiang clicked his tongue and said.
"Are you Prime Minister Li?"
At this time, a strange voice sounded behind Li Xiang.
Li Xiang turned around and found a stranger wearing a very familiar military uniform standing behind him, with a firm expression and a sincere tone.
"What's the matter?" Li Xiang asked in confusion.
"It's like this. Our chief wanted to see you and was going to the Gu family to find you. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Li Xiang saw the origin of the other party and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect to be invited to tea on the second day of the new year."
"You are joking, our chief just wants to get to know you."
So Li Xiang followed the soldier into a green-skinned armed vehicle and drove all the way to a secret base in the northern war zone.
In the secret base, Li Xiang got out of the car and observed it.
There are power grids all around, sentry posts every hundred steps, and countless military weapons. The playground is full of soldiers training with their upper limbs exposed. They look extremely passionate and shocking.
After Li Xiang waited for a while, he heard a soldier on the side salute in one direction and say,
"Sir, Mr. Li has been brought back!"
A middle-aged man saluted in return and slowly walked over.
Li Xiang glanced at the medal on his shoulder and found that he was too ignorant to recognize the title of the other party.
"Are you Prime Minister Li? You are actually as young as the news! My name is Hua Guo! I am the chief instructor of the Chinese Wolf Warriors!"
Huaguo walked up to Li Xiang, showed a kind smile, stretched out his hand and said.
Mr. Li felt that the name was somewhat familiar, so he extended his hand and said in return, "Hello, I wonder why Chief Hua called me here this time?"
Huawei did not answer directly, but asked, "I heard that you beat away a Sakura man who was at the peak of his power yesterday?"
"That's right." Li Xiang was confused, but he still nodded on the surface.
"That's such a relief!" Huawei clapped her hands and praised,
"You are now very famous in southern Hunan and even northern Hunan. You can make plasters and make a fortune at the same time. You are really among the best! My subordinate Zhang Yongfeng told me this. Don't get me wrong!"
"That's it." Li Xiang still nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the other party still had no reaction, Huawei said sternly, "I have reported this matter to my superiors. I value you very much, as well as your conduct, character, etc. We all feel very satisfied with you."
We turned a blind eye to some outrageous things and did not come to arrest you. You should thank the country!"
After Li Xiang heard this, he quickly said, "I am very grateful to the country!"
After all, so many things have happened. Based on Zhang Yongfeng’s background, he can rely on the government to attack him. It turns out that it is all the will of the state!
But what Li Xiang doesn't know is that the 'Qianlong' trapped in the Changbai Mountains is currently causing a headache to the country!
The two parties have been in a stalemate for a long time, with no result.
Now that Prime Minister Li has emerged, they can no longer send extra armed forces to control Prime Minister Li!
Therefore, it is better to make good friends with them than to be enemies with them.
This is one of the purposes of Huawei calling Li Xianglai today.
Hua Guo looked at the other party's reaction and nodded with satisfaction, "Also, my superiors and I are very curious, what stage has your martial arts attainment reached?"
Li Xiang was stunned and subconsciously wanted to say that he was a monk, not a warrior.
But after thinking about Lou Jinzong causing trouble for him, he quickly changed his mind and said, "I am also a Huajin Grandmaster, but those Sakura people's sword skills are only half as good, so naturally they can't beat me."
"I see! I didn't expect that in addition to the two Huajings now, there is another one like you! I admire you very much. At such a young age, you are so accomplished in martial arts and yet so low-key. You are the pillar of the country!"
Said emphatically.
"Sir, if you have something to say, please just tell me."
