Hu Baozong picked up the medicinal wine and took a sip.
It was very spicy and bitter, but what he drank was very sweet.
Li Chengzhi was still eating the meat leisurely, and with great rhythm: holding chopsticks in one hand, pinching and stroking, only the bones were left on the chopsticks, but all the meat went into his mouth...
In just a moment, half of the mutton chop went into Li Chengzhi's stomach.
"You don't have a strong physique. Why do you eat so much?" After he finished eating, Hu Baozong asked curiously.
"I'm growing older, so why should I eat more?" Li Chengzhi asked.
Hu Baozong's eyes suddenly bulged, as if he had heard a joke.
When he was as old as Li Chengzhi, he already had two sons, but Li Chengzhi was still growing?
"Believe it or not!" Li Chengzhi took the silk towel handed over by the maid and wiped his hands carefully.
In this era when you can marry a wife at the age of twelve, become a father at the age of thirteen, be promoted to an official position at the age of fourteen, become a grandfather at the age of thirty, and call yourself an old man, seventeen years old is indeed considered an adult.
Now...
But the problem is, he is really still developing...
Being stupid also has its advantages.
Given his status, Li Shixian would rather he be a bachelor than marry a concubine or a woman from a commoner family.
But whose daughter is willing to marry a fool?
Li Song was also afraid that the maids in the mansion might have their own ideas, so the people who served Li Chengzhi were two strong women in their late forties...
After thinking for a long time, Hu Baozong figured out the connection. He endured a weird look and changed the subject: "What about your strength, is it also increasing?"
"Have you met Li Song's two sons?" Li Chengzhi replied slowly.
Two big men like iron towers suddenly appeared in Hu Baozong's mind, and he nodded subconsciously.
"I often wrestle with them... It's easy to win, but with two brothers together, it's a bit difficult for me to win..."
Hu Baozong said nothing, but looked at him sideways.
Are you so crazy that you can go to heaven?
Two more?
Li Zhang and Li Xian pull out anyone at random and give you two hands. I guess you are no match...
The reason why you can win is just because you are the husband, and they have to let you, just like they did in the Hu family...
Li Chengzhi lazily explained to him.
Let?
The three of them grew up together, and they were still stupid, so the word "let" did not exist in the consciousness of those two fools.
Regardless of his delicate appearance, standing in front of the two brothers Li Zhang and Li Xian, he looks like a weak chicken, but in terms of strength, he is really no worse than either of them.
When he was stupid, the three of them could fight equally, not to mention he became smarter.
Wrestling and fighting not only rely on strength, but also use your brain...
Hu Baozong just thought he was bragging and laughed a few words. Li Chengzhi vowed again that when he gets better, he must let Hu Baozong see it.
As he was talking, he heard a "clattering" sound outside. Hu Baozong knew as soon as he heard it that someone wearing armor was coming.
When Li Song came in, he was indeed covered in armor.
"The rioters are coming?" Li Chengzhi asked suspiciously.
Li Song nodded and said seriously: "Tan Ma came to report that at dusk the day before yesterday, the monks from Zhaoxuan Temple led a group of monks into Songjiazhuang, and then there were shouts of killing... Afraid of being discovered, Tan Ma did not dare
As I got closer, I heard that Songjiazhuang was in chaos all night, and it only subsided at dawn...
This morning, the gate of the Song family village was wide open, with more than 20 cavalry and more than 30 carriages, and more than a hundred villagers holding swords and guns, carrying the Song family flag, coming eastward..."
"Killing all night? Are these monks Zhuang a gang of thieves? They were defeated by the Song family in the end?" Li Chengzhi asked again.
Li Song pondered for a moment and shook his head: "The thieves must have succeeded, otherwise the Song family should have sent someone to report to the fort long ago if such a big thing happened..."
Li Chengzhi was suddenly shocked.
He really knows this Song family.
Because his concubine brother, Li Shixian’s third son, married a concubine from this family.
The Song family is also a large family in Jingzhou. In terms of wealth, it is even worse than the Li family. They have more than 5,000 acres of fertile land alone.
It was just that we were closer to Kongtong Mountain, so I didn’t expect to be the first one to suffer...
"Knowing that the monk household was in rebellion, how could the Song family dare to open the door when they saw the monk?" Li Chengzhi was puzzled.
Hu Baozong muttered: "I think he only knew that Fuzhong Temple was rebelling, and he never thought that Zhaoxuan Temple would rebel... Furthermore, the Song family believed in Buddhism and had many contacts with Zhaoxuan Temple. The thieves must have taken advantage of this to gain access to the temple."
hands..."
Li Chengzhi thought about it carefully and realized that Hu Baozong must have guessed correctly.
This Zhaoxuan Temple specializes in managing monk households, which is equivalent to the government. Who would have thought that the government would cause rebellion among the common people?
If Li Song hadn't sent a detective horse to the west and learned about the defection of the chief minister of Zhaoxuan Temple and the burning of the monks' warehouse, and thus guessed that these monks, officials and monks might be in trouble, he probably wouldn't have been prepared...
…
Well, isn’t that right?
Li Chengzhi discovered something strange again.
Now that the thieves have succeeded, what happened to the Song family's motorcade?
Besides, there are still more than a hundred Songjia Zhuang armed with swords and guns...
Isn't this a monk pretending to be a monk?
Li Chengzhi's eyelids twitched: "What are those carriages pulling?"
"It looks like food and grass, but I guess it's still people..."
Li Chengzhi's face turned dark.
No wonder they were using the banner of the Song family. So this group of thieves wanted to repeat their old tricks?
If there are five or six people hidden in a car, there are two hundred people. If you add those who are exposed in the open, there are almost four hundred people...
Hu Baozong also realized something was wrong: "This thief is not coming for your Li family, is he?"
Li Song nodded: "We know that the Li family doesn't believe in Buddhism, so there's no point in pretending to be a monk. The thief can only pretend to be a member of the Song family... I can't say for sure that the thief has coerced some important figure in the Song family.
, let alone the possibility that there was a thief in the Song family, who cooperated with the thief inside and outside to destroy the Song family, and then helped the thief in this plan of Li Daitao's death..."
It’s really possible!
Li Chengzhi looked at Li Song: "Hypothesis: If an important figure from the Song family really came to defect, what would you do?"
Li Song's face was a little uncertain, and after a long time he said: "The two families are in-laws, and they must be taken in..."
See, the enemy has figured this out...
Do you really think that the Li family is made of clay? It’s a pretty idea?
Li Chengzhi sneered and asked Li Song: "If it is as we expected and the thieves are indeed coming for us, then how are you going to deal with it?"
Li Song gritted his teeth and his face was so cold that it made people scared: "Of course I want to let the thieves know that the Song family is the Song family and the Li family is the Li family..."
Hu Baozong was startled: Does this mean you want to fight?
But is the war so easy to fight?
You don’t even know how many people in your Li family can beat you?
