"Sir, the Marquis of Jingyang County has sent a greeting card, and he is waiting outside now." The butler walked in and said.
Li Jing frowned and said, "Go find Erlang and ask him to greet you."
No matter what the reason was, he didn't want to get too involved with Lin Xuan.
But when people come, they have to see them.
"yes!"
The housekeeper came to Li Dejiao's yard and told him about Lin Xuan's visit.
"What did you say? Lin Xuan is here?" Li Dejiang said in surprise.
The housekeeper nodded and said: "He is outside now. I want you to go and greet him."
"I know!" Li Dejiang ran out directly.
Lin Xuan waited for a long time and felt relieved when he saw that the door of Dai Guogong's mansion remained closed.
Now that he has come and Li Jing is missing, Li Shimin should no longer be suspicious.
No, it's not okay. I pretended to be deeply affectionate in front of Li Shimin, so I gave up. It would be strange if he didn't doubt her.
Just when Lin Xuan was hesitating, the middle door of Dai Guogong's mansion opened wide.
"Haha, please come in quickly, Zichu." Li Dejiang greeted him with a smile.
"Is Uncle Li not at home?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Dejiang said: "My father is at home and asked me to come to greet you."
Okay, I was overthinking it.
Lin Xuan, led by Li Dejiang, came to the Li family hall.
"Dad, Zi Chu is here!" Li Dejiang shouted before he even entered the hall.
Lin Xuan was a little speechless. Li Jing was considered a Confucian general, but Li Dezhai was somewhat similar to Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin's character, and he was a bit fussy.
"I've met Uncle Li, and I took the liberty to pay him a visit. I hope Uncle Li won't be surprised!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Jing waved his hand and said: "You can look at me, it's not too late for me to be happy. Sit down quickly!"
"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Lin Xuan thanked him and sat down.
They come, the security.
Now that things have happened, Lin Xuan is very calm.
"Come here, serve tea!" Li Jing finished the order and asked, "Is everything okay at home?"
Of course Lin Xuan knew what Li Jing was asking, and said with a smile: "I was just a little frightened, but I'm fine now."
"It's okay." Li Jing nodded.
Next, Li Jing kept chatting with Lin Xuan and did not ask Lin Xuan what his purpose was.
When the maid brought the tea, Li Jing smiled and said, "Drink tea! Speaking of which, this tea is from you."
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "If Uncle Li likes it, I will ask someone to send some over later."
"Then I'd like to thank you very much." Li Jing said with a smile.
"Uncle Li, I came here this time to ask about someone."
Lin Xuan waited for Li Jing to open his mouth to ask him why he was here. Seeing that Li Jing remained silent, he had no choice but to take the initiative.
Li Jing was stunned and asked: "Who is it?"
He had been thinking about the purpose of Lin Xuan's visit this time, but he didn't expect that he came to him to inquire about people.
"Qiu bearded guest!" Lin Xuan said every word.
When Li Jing heard this name, his expression changed drastically and he asked: "Where did you know this name?"
"Dad." Li Dejiang didn't know why Li Jing had such a big reaction when he heard this name.
Li Jing waved his hand to Li Dezhai and stared at Lin Xuan, waiting for his answer.
It was actually the person Lin Xuan mentioned that caused an uproar in his heart.
Li Shimin may have thought that the bearded man was a good reader and regarded him as a strange person.
But Li Jing knew that the bearded man wanted to dominate the world.
At first, the bearded guest saw that the world was in chaos and wanted to fight for the world. He remembered that his sworn brother Li Jing was very proficient in military tactics, so he went to look for Li Jing and wanted Li Jing to help him.
The bearded guest had just informed Li Jing of his plan, when Li Shimin came to visit.
Li Jing wanted the Qiu-bearded guest to hide, but the Qiu-bearded guest was unwilling and wanted to see the famous King of Qin.
Who would have known that after seeing Li Shimin, the bearded guest bluntly said that he was the destined emperor and asked Li Jing to assist Li Shimin well, and then left.
Although Li Shimin didn't know that the Qiu-bearded guest had the ambition to conquer the world, Li Jing never mentioned the name Qiu-bearded guest again from then on.
Even when Li De praised them, Li Jing never told them about the bearded guests.
Lin Xuan told Li Jing what he told Li Shimin.
After listening to this, Li Jing murmured somewhat absentmindedly: "No wonder!"
"Dad, who is the bearded man?" Li Dejiang asked.
Li Jing ignored him, looked at Lin Xuan with friendly eyes, and asked: "Then why did you come to me?"
Seeing that Li Jing had no suspicion, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty said that my master and Uncle Li are sworn brothers. I would like to ask if Uncle Li has any contact with my master."
In fact, seeing Li Jing's reaction, Lin Xuan knew that they had no contact.
This was also the reason why he breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise it would have been embarrassing if he was exposed all at once.
Although there is still a risk of being exposed in the future, it is in the future after all, so we can just think of ways to deal with it when the time comes.
When Li Dejiang heard that his father had sworn brothers, the fire of gossip burned in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that his father, who was usually very serious, would actually play the trick of asking for help.
Li Jing shook his head, with some regret in his eyes, and said, "I haven't seen my eldest brother since we parted ways seventeen years ago."
"Then Uncle Li, can you tell me the story of my master?" Lin Xuan said.
Li Jing was silent for a while and said: "Erlang, go and invite your mother."
"Yes!" Li Dejiang said reluctantly.
He thought Li Jing was going to send him away, but he didn't dare to object.
Lin Xuan didn't think so. The Qiu-bearded guest, Li Jing and Zhang Chuchen were sworn friends together. Now that there was news about the Qiu-bearded guest, it was natural for Zhang Chuchen to know about it.
After Li Dejiang left, the hall fell into silence. Li Jing looked like he was nostalgic for the past, making it difficult for Lin Xuan to disturb him.
"Mr. Li, where is eldest brother now?" A somewhat heroic female voice sounded.
Then Lin Xuan saw a beautiful woman in her forties walking in, followed by Li Dejiang and another man.
This should be Li Derjian, the eldest son of Zhang Chuchen and Li Jing.
Li Jing must be over sixty this year, but he didn't expect to be an old man and a young wife.
Lin Xuan did not doubt Zhang Chuchen's age, after all, Li Derjian was only twenty years old.
"Chuchen, don't get excited. This is the disciple that my eldest brother has accepted." Li Jing pointed at Lin Xuan and said.
Zhang Chuchen quickly walked to Lin Xuan, grabbed Lin Xuan's arm and asked, "Where is my eldest brother?"
Lin Xuan was a little hurt by Zhang Chuchen's grasp, but he did not dare to resist.
Damn it, Li De Award, can’t you explain things clearly to your mother?
Needless to say, since Zhang Chuchen was so excited, Li Dejia must have not told her that he had no idea where the bearded guest was.
If Li Dejiang knew what Lin Xuan was thinking, he would definitely feel very wronged.
It's not that he didn't say anything. As soon as he mentioned the bearded guest, his mother came over in a hurry, and he didn't have time to say the next words.
Lin Xuan had no choice but to repeat his previous excuse.
"Brother, you are so cruel!" Zhang Chuchen let go of his hand in despair when he heard me, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
She couldn't stop crying when she heard Lin Xuan say that the bearded guest had been to Chang'an twice and taught him for several months each time, but he had never been willing to see her.
Of course Li Jing knew what she was thinking, and quickly comforted her: "Chuchen, my eldest brother must have come to Chang'an to see us. He saw that we were living well and didn't want to disturb us."
"Yes, brother still cares about us." Zhang Chuchen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "What's your name?"
