The dark curtains came, the stars were shining everywhere, and the moon was like a hook.

In the main hall of Longxiang Li Mansion, Li Li stood under the corridor, looking up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky.

Since he met Cai Yan by chance in the morning, he has been worried all day long.

At first, Chen Yu was very dissatisfied with Li Li's appearance, full of anger, and even became jealous of Cai Yan.

However, when she found out that Li Li was really worried, she took care of the housework well and no longer jealous of the cheap sister Cai Yan. Instead, she was worried about Li Li and silently waited for less than twenty steps beside the man.

A gentle footsteps came from the lobby, and Li Li didn't have to look back to know that the person coming was Dian Wei.

In this house, he is the only one who can walk silently.

"Lord, Cai Zhonglang came to visit with a great gift, look..."

Li Li was slightly stunned, "Oh? Lord Cai Yong came to visit me so late? It's worthy of being a scholarly family! I had already told Cai Yan before that she didn't have to bother her father to go there personally, but he didn't expect that he would come tonight.

I'm here to ask Chen Yu to prepare some refreshments, and I'll receive Lord Cai Yong in the main hall. In addition, you've been busy for a day today and chased the horse thief for dozens of miles. Just have Yu'er here to help take care of him. You can go to rest."

After hearing Li Li's order, Dian Wei did not speak much and walked out in response.

A moment later, Li Li personally left the mansion and welcomed Cai Yong into the main hall.

"Mr. Cai is really too polite. Today's matter is just right for the rest of the world. How dare you come to your house in person? It's really a killer."

Cai Yong is nearly 60 years old, with gray hair and a beautiful beard nearly one foot long, which is soft and smooth, and flows with the wind, showing the style of a well-educated elder.

He has a tall figure, a rosy face, kind eyebrows and clear facial features. He must have been a talented Confucian scholar when he was young. Although his backbone is slightly bent and a little hunched, he is still eight feet tall. There are three lines on his forehead that have been through vicissitudes, showing the old man's erudition and wisdom.

After the guests and hosts sat down, after some greetings, Cai Yong looked at Li Li while drinking tea, and then opened up the conversation.

"Nephew, today you saved your little girl, that's a great kind to me! If Yan'er is kidnapped by the thief, how can I live? I'll die with my eyes open!

Nice nephew, you are not an outsider now. I believe you know some things, and I am not shy away from it. Yan'er's fate has been many disasters, and now he is abandoned by the Wei family, and he is lonely and helpless. Her mother left early, but as a father, I am busy with the government affairs and compiling Han books. Not only did I not take good care of her, but I had to rely on her to take care of my daily life. Speaking of which, I often feel extremely guilty and ashamed.

Today, thanks to the rescue of his virtuous nephew, he can protect Yan'er's innocence from disasters. I have no things in my body, only some common things given by the Grand Master to thank him for your virtuous nephew. I hope you don't want to be disgusted and must accept it. Otherwise, I will be uneasy and ashamed of being a father!"

"this······."

Li Li hesitated for a moment, noticed that Cai Yong seemed to be unhappy, and then replied: "Master, you are making things difficult for me! Well, since the old man is so kind, if I don't accept it, I will look pretentious. Let's do this, sir, when I was seriously injured, I accidentally got a few old ginseng. Now there are two left, so I will give you the best for your health care. In addition, the soldiers in the mansion dug some good medicinal materials on the Nanshan Mountain a few days ago. I saw Ling Yuan's body was delicate and it was just right to use it. Please take it back later.

The old man doesn’t have to refuse, just accept it. You brought me a gift to me to repay my help, and I’m giving you some supplements as my duty as the junior; it’s reasonable to reciprocate. Otherwise, I will never dare to accept your gifts to avoid criticism.”

"Uh!" Cai Yong was a little surprised by Li Li's move, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Li Li rescued his daughter and gave him a great gift to repay him. This is a matter of course. But why did he give me these precious medicinal supplements?

He was neither close nor acquainted with him, but he was so attentive that he almost never regarded himself as an outsider, and he regarded himself as half of the Cai family.

Suddenly, Cai Yong looked at Li Li with scrutiny, trying to see clearly the young man's thoughts.

To put it in detail, Cai Yong had no good feelings or bad feelings towards the generals of the Western Liang army. He did not easily interact with the generals of the Western Liang army and always maintained a certain distance, as if they were close and separated.

This is because Dong Zhuo treated Cai Yong very well, rewarded the mansion, gave him gold, silver, silk, and promoted him to his official position, and respected him everywhere.

It can be said that it is very favorable.

In comparison, the treatment of other officials in the court is simply incomparable to Cai Yong. In one heaven and one underground, many officials cannot even afford to support their slaves in their families. They are tightly fed, and their lives are very difficult and their situation is extremely difficult.

Therefore, Cai Yong was excluded from the circle by Wang Yun and other old ministers. These people thought that he was a lackey who surrendered to Dong Zhuo, and the rewards he received were all given to him. They all spoke ill of each other, making sarcastic and sarcastic things, with vicious words and no good expression.

Therefore, Cai Yong was isolated in Chang'an City.

Although Dong Zhuo treated him very well, he did not recognize Dong Zhuo's actions. He just wanted to punish him to protect himself.

As for Wang Yun and others' cold eyes and harsh words, Cai Yong ignored it and did not explain it. He knew it.

In fact, the reason why Cai Yong compromised and was sarcastic by his former colleagues and friends was all because of his lonely and helpless widowed daughter. As long as his daughter Cai Yan can live safely, no matter how much suffering he suffers or how much grievances he suffers.

If he did not accept Dong Zhuo's deliberate appeal and various rewards, then Dong Zhuo's butcher would turn against him and blame him. If this is true, then Cai Yan, the daughter who was disliked by the Wei family, would not even have a place to settle down and have no livelihood, and would probably fall into the streets.

As a father, how could Cai Yong watch his young daughter become a widow and fall into the streets?

So he accepted all the rewards and official positions of Dong Zhuo with gratitude, and would rather bear the infamy than ignore the livelihood of his only daughter.

Even so, Cai Yong still disdains to be with the generals of Xiliang in his heart, and always keeps a distance from Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang army under his command, so as not to be mistaken for being thought that he would fall into depravity, help the evil and betrayal for life, and be ruined by his reputation.

At this moment, Li Li's performance made Cai Yong very embarrassed and hesitant.

Cai Yong still heard of Li Li.

Although this son is not old, he is indeed a newly rising power general. On the surface, he smiles at everyone and is extremely harmonious. In fact, this son is extremely cruel and decisive in his actions, which is even better than his uncle Li Jue. He is a ruthless character who looks like a smile on his face.

Now Li Li said that he was like the younger generation. He seemed to be very polite and respected the elders and the elderly. But in fact, it was the opposite.

Zhu Jun, a famous general of a generation, was famous all over the world. However, Li Li was captured alive like a dog and was said to have never been good to Zhu Jun from beginning to end, nor did he have any etiquette to respect the elders.

If it weren't for capturing Zhu Jun alive and killing him directly, Zhu Jun might have been killed for a long time now, so how could he survive until now?

From this we can see that Li Li is definitely a decisive person who kills and decisively. Secular etiquette cannot restrain him at all. It is more fearful and terrifying than his uncle Li Jue.

At present, Li Li mentioned the filial piety of respecting the elders, and generously presented ginseng and precious herbs, which made Cai Yong suddenly think and worry about gains and losses, and loses his mind for a while.

"Since my nephew insists on this, I will accept the supplements with shame and thank my nephew for the little girl. However, I cannot receive favors for free. If my nephew needs help from me, I will never refuse and will do my best to help me!"

After all, Cai Yong was a noble scholar who refused to receive any favors. After accepting Li Li's rebate, he promised to repay Li Li in the future.

Li Li did not take Cai Yong's promise at this time, because he gave these precious medicinal materials not to Cai Yong at all, but to the pretty widow Cai Yan.

But what Li Li never expected was that Cai Yong returned this favor to him a few days later, and it was something he had always wanted to do but could not do.

The gift Cai Yong gave to Li Li directly changed his future fate.
