【Chapter 447】
"stop!"
Seeing that Li Li cursed herself and wanted to slip away, Yuan Xi hurriedly got up and blocked Li Li's body, and said angrily with anger: "Cheng Feng, you have repeatedly humiliated me and insulted my ancestors of the Yuan family. Now you still want to pat your butt and leave. It's really a delusion! Let me tell you the truth, none of the people who insulted my ancestors of the Yuan family are still alive in the world. Don't want to walk out of the door alive today!"
Li Li, who stood facing Yuan Xi, was half a head taller than Yuan Xi, so that Yuan Xi first stood in front of Li Li. When he spoke, he suddenly realized that he was not as tall and strong as Li Li in terms of height and physique. So while he scolded Li Lizhi, his body couldn't help but take two steps back to open the distance between the two sides.
"You want to kill me?"
Li Li narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yuan Xi coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Is Mr. Yuan angry and angry, wanting to kill someone to silence him, or is he angry and trying to kill me to vent his anger? Why can you be so sure that you can kill me? Why? Is it just that the Yuan family slave next to him who wants to choose someone else, or the five hundred soldiers outside the mansion, or more than one thousand soldiers in the city combined?
If that's all, I would like to advise you not to yell at any time to kill others, otherwise you will not only not be able to kill others, but will instead spend your life in it. Just relying on these cowardly fools around you, it's okay to scare ordinary people, but it's not worth mentioning in front of me. Do you know, if I want to kill you, it's easier than killing an ant.
That’s all, believe it or not. A good dog will not block the way, let it go!”
After finishing his cold words, Li Li looked at Yuan Xi with great disdain and then walked towards Yuan Xi.
When he saw Li Li's cold and fierce eyes, Yuan Xi couldn't help but tremble all over. Then he involuntarily took a few steps back. At this moment, the arrogance of the Yuan family supported him not to retreat aside, but still gritted his teeth and blocked Li Li's front. However, his trembling legs betrayed his pride, showing his timidity in the face of Li Li's approaching and his fear of death.
"Su---Second Young Master, don't be shocked, Ju Yi is here!"
Just as Yuan Xi's legs were trembling, a clear swaying sound came from the lobby, and then a black shadow quickly jumped out, and a black iron slalom blocked Li Li's way.
After the man stood up, everyone in the hall suddenly saw Ju Yi wearing armor holding the halberd in both hands and protecting Yuan Xi, but he did not take action immediately.
Li Li and Ju Yi stood opposite each other. There was only three steps away from each other. If Ju Yi's halberd pointing directly at Li Li's hand, then the halberd is in front of Li Li's chest at this moment. Seeing Ju Yi holding the halberd, Li Li asked calmly: "You are Ju Yi, the commander of the eight hundred death soldiers. You have good martial arts skills and very fast skills. But I don't understand at all. Why didn't you take action just now?"
"Fight alone, I will never attack others behind my back, and today is no exception!" Ju Yi looked at Li Li with a serious face and responded in a deep voice.
Li Li nodded slightly and said in praise: "Very good, I am worthy of being a good man who came out of Liangzhou. He is bloody and responsible! I will take back all the words I despise you before, because you are a respectable opponent!"
After a brief tone, the expression on Li Li's face calmed down again, and he asked in a deep voice: "Yuan Xi wants to kill me, may you want to take action on his behalf?"
Ju Yi said without thinking: "The king is a loyalty to the king. I am a general under the command of the leader of the Yuan Dynasty. I am ordered to protect the second son. Now the young master wants to kill you, so I should obey it. But I can see that you are not an ordinary person, and I think you are also a person with high martial arts skills. Since this is the case, I will fight you without anyone else interfering!"
"It seems that you are very confident in your martial arts. But I heard that during the Battle of Jieqiao, you were defeated by a white-robed young general under Gongsun Zan in thirty rounds. I wonder if this is the case?" Li Li asked in a hurry.
Ju Yi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said, "This is indeed the case. But it is not the case. That day, a certain person led the camp to siege and kill Gongsun Zan personally, and met the white-robed young general Zhao Yun in the middle. Just like today, the camp led by a certain person was all infantrymen. I hiked alone to block Zhao Yun and fought with him for 36 rounds. As a result, the horse under his crotch was not as fast as the horse under his crotch. He rushed out of the siege and escaped. Just by martial arts alone, Zhao Yun's martial arts was very skilled, and he was actually a strong enemy in his life; but if I had a mount at that time, it would not be so easy for him to escape without hesitation."
"So that's it." Li Li nodded slightly and asked, "Do you want to fight with me today, horse or infantry?"
"There are naturally infantry battles in the palace." Ju Yi responded casually without hesitation.
"Ju Yi!" At this moment, Yuan Xi suddenly said sternly: "Ju Yi, listen to me, this is not a general in front of the formation! This thief has repeatedly humiliated me, and insulted my father and the ancestors of the Yuan family. I ordered you to kill him immediately without any concerns about anything else!"
"Bang————Rareless!" Seeing that Yuan Xi wanted to get rid of Li Li quickly, Zhen, who had not spoken, slapped the table and said angrily: "Yuan Xianyi, you are too arrogant! Do you think my Zhen Mansion is where you do whatever you want and act wildly! Zheng Feng is my cousin. Do you really think that my Zhen family is weak and can you bully it?"
"This,,,,,,," Yuan Xi's face suddenly became gloomy after hearing this. His eyes looked at Li Li became more and more vicious, but he was speechless to Zhen. At this moment, he was sure that Zheng Feng must be Zhen's mistress. Zhen still kept saying something about his cousin, which was obviously trying to cover up and deceiving himself.
As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Xi looked at Zhen with a sinister expression and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do with Madam? This thief insults my Yuan clan like this. His words are abominable and his heart is punishable. No matter who is from the Yuan family, he will not give up! Do you want to cover up this thief?"
"Hmph! You are making a point of being rude, so why don't you worry about adding a crime?" Zhen snorted coldly and said sternly: "If you hadn't despised my Zhen family and bullied me, there was no one in the Zhen family, how could my cousin have seen you as much as you do! No matter how you argue about today, I would not allow you to act wildly in my Zhen family!"
Seeing that Zhen's attitude was so tough, Yuan Xi was furious and shouted at Zhen's sternly: "Don't forget that this is Jizhou. Zhongshan Kingdom is also a county under my father's rule. No one dares to go against my Yuan family! Even if your Zhen family is rich and rich in the world, so what? If you offend my Yuan family, you will destroy your family and become a prisoner at night! If you don't believe it, you can try it. See if it is your Zhen family's strong power or my Yuan family's strong military force! You have to think clearly about how to make a decision so as not to make mistakes yourself!"
After hearing this, Zhen's pretty face appeared with a hint of worry, her eyes were a little flustered, as if she was retreating.
Feng Ji, who had been sitting there motionlessly. After hearing Yuan Xi's words, he nodded slightly, his impression of Yuan Xi changed greatly, and his eyes showed admiration.
At this time, Li Li felt very happy in his heart, quite gloating. The matter has developed to this point. His expected goal has been achieved. Zhen and Yuan Xi have extended the conflict to the family level, which means that the two families have reached a breakup. Although Yuan Xi cannot represent the Yuan family, Zhen can represent the Zhen family, and Yuan Xi is Yuan Shao's son after all. No matter how big the mistake he made, even if Yuan Shao is very disliked, he will not do anything to him. After all, the tiger is poisonous and does not eat his son. The son is always a son, so how can he be compared with outsiders?
In view of this, Li Li was no longer silent and said to Yuan Xi: "Yuan Xianyi, you don't need to be intimidating, you pretend to be a tiger's power! One person does things, and the matter today has nothing to do with the Zhen family. Although the Zhen family is a relative, I am not a member of the Zhen family. If you come to me, I will take on anything. Don't you want to kill me? No problem, but you can't be in the Zhen family, which will damage the reputation of the Zhen family. We will go to the county government to compete, and life and death will be together. Everything has nothing to do with the Zhen family and the Zhen family!"
After saying that, Li Li raised his hand and pushed away the halberd blocking his body, causing Ju Yi, who was unprepared, to take three steps back. He watched Li Li strode away from the main hall and headed straight for the direction of the mansion.
"I'm still standing still, keep up with him, so I can't let him run away!" Seeing that Li Li was still so arrogant when he died, Yuan Xi was so angry that he was about to explode. Then he took his anger on Ju Yi and scolded him angrily. Then he waved his hand and stared at Li Li's gradually moving back, and hurriedly chased after Feng Ji and the soldiers outside the door.
————————————————————
When only the Zhen family members were left in the lobby, the 70-year-old man Zhen, who had left before, slowly walked out of the side door and waved his hand to signal everyone in the hall to retreat.
A moment later, there were only two people in the lobby, Zhen and Mr. Zhen. Zhen supported Mr. Zhen to sit down in the hall, while she sat in the head of Mr. Zhen, which was where Li Li sat before.
"What does my father think of Li Wenchang? Which is better than Yuan Shao, Jizhou?" Zhen personally poured a cup of hot tea for Mr. Zhen and asked softly.
That's right, this old Zhen is Zhen Yi, the father of Zhen Yi, the deceased husband of Zhen's family. He is also the only remaining elder among the Zhen family's direct lineage. He can be said to be a word of nothing.
At the beginning, he insisted on handing over the position of the head of the family to Zhang, taking Zhang as his daughter, and giving the family surname. Since then, Zhang has changed to Zhen. Zhen is both Zhen's daughter-in-law and adopted daughter, and has been in charge of the Zhen family for eight years. If Zhen had not supported Zhen's family, how could she take over the huge family business of the Zhen family by her alone? Unless the men of the Zhen family are dead, it will not be her turn to take over the family. After all, among the well-known official families in the Han Dynasty, only the Zhen family is the only one who is the head of the family, and that's all.
Zhen Qi smiled kindly and said, "This son is more than thirty years apart from Yuan Shao, and he is nearly two generations, and he really has no comparison. Hahaha!"
Then he took a sip of tea. After Zhen took the teacup, he continued, "I heard you say that Li Wenchang was smart and wise. I didn't believe it. I thought you like him, so my judgment was biased. Now it seems that you are right. This will definitely become a great man in the future, with a bright future, and it is so precious!
Therefore, if you want to be with him, you will not object to being a father. But you must think about it yourself. Although he has a bright future, he is not a good destination for women. This son is too cunning, unpredictable, powerful, and has a good appearance. He is too fond of women. I believe that in the future, there will be a group of wives and concubines and a prosperous descendants. If you commit yourself to him, even if you have a reputation, you will be just a concubine. Moreover, if you are older, you will inevitably endure loneliness and neglect when you are old in the future. You must think clearly about these things so that it will be too late to regret it in the future!"
Zhen's pretty face flushed and said shyly: "What my father said, my daughter had thought about it. But the future is far away, so it can't be satisfactory. Maybe my daughter will be neglected by him when she is old, but her daughter does not regret it. A person's life will inevitably be ups and downs, with gains and losses. If he is afraid of losing, he is unwilling to try, and he will gain nothing and have no life. The daughter follows him, not caring about status, nor does she have power and status, but just wants to find someone she likes to rely on and assist him in achieving great fame and fortune. If this is the case, her daughter will have no regrets in this life!"
"Crazy, you have no reason to object to your father when you do this, it's just a pain for yourself!" Zhen Qi patted Zhen's arm with heartache and said with a choking.
After a while, Zhen Qi calmed down and said softly, "My Zhen family is not prosperous. Nowadays, not only are the males in the direct lineage withered, but even the males in the fertile lineage have few promising. It can be said that they are destined to be the time and are not within the reach of manpower. Because of this, if you support your father, you will rely on your mother and daughter to support you in the future. In the future, you will have all the big and small things in the Zhen family, and you don't have to worry too much. As for the people of the sidelines, you can use them if you can. If you can't use them, give them some money and let them make a living by themselves. The family cannot support them forever. Let go when it's time to let go, don't hesitate.
As a father, even if I want to go to Xiliang, I am powerless. So I don’t go anywhere and stay here, which can be regarded as falling leaves returning to my roots. Anyway, I have not had many days left for a long time, and as long as three months, I should go to see the ancestors of the Zhen family.”
"Woooooooooooooo!" Zhen Qi's words made Zhen cry, crying sadly, and tears fell.
Seeing that Zhen was heartbroken, Zhen was very relieved.
He also has children under his knees, but unfortunately his children will not live forever for many years. They all walk in front of him. A white-haired man sent a black-haired man and experienced many sad scenes of life and death separation. Unexpectedly, when he was over 70 years old, he had no children to support him and see him off, but he had a good daughter-in-law. Zhen was not only virtuous, filial and brotherly, but also extremely intelligent, and his business skills were even better than men. During the eight years that Zhen took over the ancestral business, the Zhen family's property not only did not be reduced, but the treasury income increased sharply by 30%, thus becoming the largest consortium in Jizhou and even the Central Plains, and was rich in the world.
At first, Zhen Qi also had many concerns about Zhen's taking over as the head of the family. It was not because of Zhen's business mind, but because Zhen was still very young after all, and was afraid that she would have other thoughts after she completely took over the Zhen family's property, that is, she was worried that Zhen would remarry. For this reason, he adopted Zhen as his adopted daughter and changed Zhang to Zhen, so that the Zhen family and the Zhen family were firmly tied together, and both prospered and lost. In addition, many major decisions in the family's business must be approved by his consent, otherwise the account would be stuck in money and would not be distributed.
