Chapter 189 Going to Luoyang to meet Liu Bian for the first time
Li Tan is also the leader of the clan, so it is not easy for ordinary people to meet him.
There was only a name card given by the system and a thank you letter, so Li Tan naturally went out to greet him in person.
After a conversation, Xie Xin couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
It turns out that the head of the Juye Li family was originally Li Tan's brother Li Yun. But Li Yun was killed on the spot by bandits when he was out transporting goods ten years ago.
After the funeral, the elders of the Li family proposed and the clan members unanimously approved Li Tan as the head of the Li family.
In that year, Li Jin changed from a direct descendant to a side descendant.
In his early years, Li Jin had good talents in both civil and military arts, especially in martial arts.
But the former legitimate son is now a bastard, and some people are worried that if he takes back the position of head of the family when he grows up, he will settle the score with them.
Therefore, this group of people convinced the elders and formally arranged for Li Jin to become Li Dian's shadow, forcing him to learn literature and martial arts, and serve as a deputy to help Li Dian become his legitimate son.
Five years have passed like this. Li Jin has slowly grown up, his performance is quite satisfactory, and his cultural and martial arts have improved rapidly. Because of this, the guys who had finally calmed down became restless again.
In the end, when Li Tan found out, Li Jin had become a fool. A martial arts lunatic who could only thoroughly implement justice and practice martial arts risk-taking.
Li Jin became a madman, so naturally he was not qualified to inherit the family head, let alone become Li Dian's shadow. If it were an ordinary family, such a son would have been secretly executed long ago.
But Li Tan thought that Li Jin was his brother's orphan, so he strongly opposed it. He also shouldered the responsibility of taking care of him and took Li Jin with him wherever he went, even if Li Jin often caused him trouble.
"Don't regret it?" Xie Xin asked at that time.
"I have no right to regret it. If I could have kept him by my side and looked after him, he wouldn't be crazy now.
Whether it is your own child or someone else's, since you are responsible for taking care of him, you should not let him be in an environment where you cannot see him.
In such a situation, you don't know who will treat him well and who will treat him badly. If you are not careful, you may not be able to say that a good child will be ruined." Li Tan stroked Li Jin's head and said,
He replied while sighing.
In fact, it was because of this sentence that Xie Xin fell into deep thought.
Liu Bian, who is far away in Luoyang, is very likely to be his son. Although there is a certain chance that he is Liu Hong's child, due to his relationship with He, Liu Bian has the responsibility to take good care of him.
Liu Bian is now five years old. Others are still acting like a spoiled child in the arms of their parents, but he was sent to a Taoist temple. It is not known whether the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple took good care of him.
More importantly, is there a traitor who bribed the Taoist priest and secretly plotted to kill him? This may not be the case, but as long as the Taoist priest does not teach him anything when taking care of him, he can at most teach him to recite Taoist classics, and it will work over time.
Destroy him.
No... I have to go to Luoyang!
Thank you for your confidence, but at this moment you have made up your mind.
But before that, he still didn't take care of some trivial matters that needed to be done.
First, he returned to the inn and asked Li Jin to accept Li Jin as his disciple. Li Tan was naturally very happy to hear this, but Li Jin refused to leave Li Tan's side, and Li Tan was also worried about Li Jin.
That madness will cause trouble for Xie Xin.
As a result, Xie Xin proposed to cure Li Jin's peak, and Li Tan immediately said that if Xie Xin could really do it, then he would guarantee it in the name of the head of the Li family. If Xie Xin needed help in the future, the Li family would do their best to help!
For this reason, Xie Xin personally went to the Kunlun Sect and spent more than ten middle-grade spiritual stones to buy a soul-reviving pill from them. This pill is actually not precious, but it is used in few places, so
It needs to be refined on the spot, which also makes the charge a bit more expensive.
In fact, if the Instant Thousand Miles Technique were not also a secret technique, Xie Xin would not be able to activate it in his current state, let alone traveling back and forth between Kunlun Sect and Yangdi so quickly.
But after such a high-intensity journey, he was panting when he returned to Yangzhai, and it seemed as if all the energy in his body had been drained out.
After taking the Soul-Reviving Pill, the energy in the body began to slowly recover, and Xie Xin also entered the inn and handed the Soul-Reviving Pill to Li Tan.
After Li Jin took it, he first had a splitting headache, and then fell asleep directly.
"Thank you, instructor, is Jin'er really okay?!" Li Tan said worriedly.
If it weren't for Li Jin's gentle breathing and steady rise and fall of his chest, Li Tan would have picked up Xie Xin and beat him up.
"It's okay, just take a nap and you'll be fine when you wake up! But when the time comes..." Xie Xin looked at Li Tan with a smile.
"If Jin'er's madness can really be cured, Li will definitely fulfill everything he said before!" Li Tan replied firmly.
"That's it, I'll take him back to school the day after tomorrow!" Xie Xin smiled and left directly.
Returning to Xun Mansion, Xie Xin found Xun Shuang and said that he had to leave for a day for something and hoped that he would help take care of his wives and partners.
Xun Shuang naturally agreed and asked what the thank you letter was about. If he needed help, just ask.
Xie Xin smiled and said that he could handle it himself. After a brief polite conversation, he went to the guest room to summon everyone and explain everything carefully.
"Husband is going to Luoyang? Can't I go too?!" Bian Linglong asked worriedly.
"I'm just going to do some minor errands. I'll be back soon." Xie Xin smiled.
Women can never interfere in matters decided by men. Bian Linglong and others also knew this, so they had no choice but to nod and told Xie Xin to pay attention to safety.
Xie Xin settled everyone and then went to do the last thing.
When he left, all the men in the house of Zhong Yi, the prefect of Yingchuan County, had their hand tendons and hamstrings broken by mysterious men. Zhong Yi and the young master from earlier were even more cruelly killed.
potential.
This incident was very sensational, but the superiors sent people to investigate for a few days, but no valuable information was found. They ate and drank, extorted some money, and then left.
Zhong Yi became crippled, so of course he couldn't continue to be the prefect. So not long after, the order came from En allowing him to go home and recuperate. After a day or two, the new prefect took up his post smoothly.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Xie Xin rushed from Yangzhai to Luoyang, stopping and stopping all the way. He mainly spent some time taking enough spirit-rejuvenating pills to maintain the consumption of his true energy.
But even so, he still arrived in Luoyang in the evening and successfully found an inn and stayed in it.
That night, taking advantage of the darkness, he moved to the alley next to the Taoist temple where Liu Bian was.
This address was secretly told to him by someone later, and he came to confirm it. However, Liu Bian was still young at the time, and he also had troubles in his heart, so he didn't want to go in and see Liu Bian.
After gathering his breath, Xie Xin quietly climbed over the wall and entered the Taoist temple.
This is a small Taoist temple, and because it is small, there are not many rooms. Xie Xin found the room where Liu Bian rested after only a few turns.
Liu Bian was not in the room, and he didn't know where he went. But looking at the furnishings in the room, Xie Xin frowned.
It's easy to say that Liu Bian is also a prince, but his room is decorated like that of an ordinary Taoist boy. Not to mention there is no style at all, and it looks so shabby.
If he lives here for a long time, no one can say for sure whether Liu Bian will really think of himself as a Taoist boy, and his temperament may not be as domineering as an emperor.
As a prince, he does not have the domineering power of an imperial family. When he returns to the palace in the future, it is no wonder that Emperor Han Ling will dislike him. Compared with Liu Xie, who has lived in the palace since he was born, Liu Bian is indeed not at all.
Like a prince.
By the way, has Liu Xie been born?!
Just when Xie Xin was thinking about the problem, the door suddenly opened.
"Uncle, who are you?" A boy with a tough head and a thick head asked standing outside the door, staring at the thank you letter.
"Uncle, is he a guest? Do you welcome a strange guest to your room?" Xie Xin was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile.
Very similar! Most of Liu Bian’s appearance looks like himself, and a small part looks like He.
It is already certain that he is his own seed.
Xie Xin muttered secretly in his heart.
"Uncle doesn't seem like a bad person, and Bian'er has a very cordial feeling, so I'd like to allow you to come in as a guest!" Liu Bian thought for a while and finally said with a smile.
After listening to his words, Xie Xin couldn't help but smile.
But just as the two of them found a place to sit down, Liu Bian's stomach made an unsatisfactory sound.
"Have you not eaten yet?" Xie Xin frowned.
"Dinner has already been eaten, but Taoist Master Shi said that it is best to only eat eight percent full for dinner, which is conducive to health and longevity..." Liu Bian replied with a smile.
"But from the look of you, I'm afraid you're not eighty full?" Xie Xin continued to ask.
"I had eaten enough at that time, but after all, they were all vegetarian, so I became hungry quickly." Liu Bian lowered his head.
"How can just being a vegetarian be enough? Besides, do you do this every day?!" Xie Xin was shocked.
"The Taoist Master once said that eating meat means killing. Accumulation of killings will anger God. When God is angry, it will naturally shorten our lifespan..." Liu Bian replied helplessly.
"Fart! Doesn't being a vegetarian mean killing? You must know that everything in this world has spirituality, even every flower and grass has its own life. Does being a vegetarian mean killing?! According to that bastard, you might as well do nothing.
Eat and live longer!" Xie Xin immediately ran away.
The next moment, without saying a word, he took out several basins of already prepared meals and placed them in front of Liu Bian.
This is the food he asked Mrs. Guo to prepare for him. It is placed in the space of the jade bracelet. What it looks like when you put it in is what it looks like when you take it out. The food that had passed for an unknown amount of time is still hot now.
"Now is the time when you are growing taller, so you should eat more!" Xie Xin pushed the food in front of Liu Bian.
"No! This is against the rules!" Liu Bian stepped back.
"What bullshit rules? You are not a real Taoist boy. Do you really want to become a Taoist priest? What does it mean for a majestic Han prince to eat those green vegetables and radishes!?" Xie Xin pushed it over again.
"Uncle... I don't know how you learned that I am the prince of the Han Dynasty?" Liu Bian suddenly asked.
"You don't care where I know? You just need to know that I want you to live happily, and then successfully grow into a qualified prince of the Han Dynasty. One day, you can ascend the throne and become the master of ZTE!" Xie Xin raised his hand and knocked on him.
's head.
"Well... my father doesn't like Bian'er. I guess the throne is not destined for Bian'er. Instead of going back to make my father unhappy, it would be better to stay in the Taoist temple and pray for my father." Liu Bian was already moved, but after hearing this
After receiving the thank you letter, he pushed the food back.
Although Xie Xin was very angry at the moment, he felt a little relieved deep down in his heart.
Although he left his parents, it is undeniable that he is indeed a filial son.
He knew his identity, but the reason why he adhered to the Taoist rules was mainly to pray for his father, the emperor, and his mother in the palace.
So, maybe the simple environment around us is also because of this?
But there is one thing that Xie Xin has to ask: "Who said you won't be liked by your father?!"
