Chapter 42 , South City Courtyard

The conversation happened in the evening. Li Muchen had just built a room at the east end of the Refund Street. He cleaned up for two days and was waiting for Xu Ban to come. The person he was waiting for was not Xu Ban, but a goatee-beard and a strategist. He had met in the Dongshan Palace. He was the housekeeper of the Prince of Jieshi. The person who came claimed that his surname was Gong Xingliu, and he was usually called Gong Liu. Li Muchen didn't know what his real name was, nor did he want to know, and was still immersed in grief.

Gong is in his forties and has two children of fourteen or fifteen years old with him. Li Muchen did not deliberately promote who he is. He knew that the orphans of the Prince of Jieshi were of great importance and wanted to send them to Daqin as a hostage. Gong Liu entered the yard bought by Li Muchen and opened the right way to Li Muchen who was holding the child in the middle of the yard. "Hero Li, please leave it to us to take care of him. We are all the only few people left in Mrs. Xiu's family. Are you worried?"

Li Muchen crossed his hands and said, "Uncle Six, I'm worried. Xiuxiu said, you must know that you will give Korean star to Xu Ban to take."

Gong Liu sighed, "I can't afford to say "Liu Uncle Li", but because of your relationship with the prince and Mrs. Xiu, Lao Liu is so proud that he responds to your "Liu Uncle Liu".

Then he said, "Hiss Li has been in the world for many years. Can he experience the helplessness of being unable to make a forest alone?"

Li Muchen poured Gong Liu a cup of tea, "I understand what Uncle Liu means, Xing'er, I'm enough, and there is no need to be a pillar of the country."

"I'm not worried that the hero will not take good care of him. The hero is a free and easy person. If you want to pursue freedom, Mrs. Xiu cannot hold you back, let alone the children of the King of Jieshi. The hero is hard to have a rival in the world of martial arts. It is currently at its peak. If you don't blame the hero, Gong Liu is thinking too much. I mean, what if there is something wrong, what should the child do?"

Li Muchen shook his head, "Xiuxiu hopes Xing'er is an ordinary person, and she has no involvement with her before. I appreciate the kindness of Uncle Six, so there is no need to arrange it."

"I dare to ask what an ordinary person is, how can a hero be an ordinary person? Just now, the hero said that there is no need to be a forest of pillars. Since he is a pillar, how can he be an ordinary person?"

"Uncle Six, I won't argue with you too much. It's impossible for you to take Xing'er away. Not only me, but Xu Ban."

"The character of Xu Daxia, Lao Liu will not doubt it, otherwise Mrs. Xiu would not entrust her to Xu Daxia at the end of her life. But I believe that Li Daxia also knows this secret. Xu Daxia is the descendant of Zongheng. It would be fine if the Zongheng lineage was just mentioned, but Xu Daxia is still a public enemy in the world, so how can Lao Liu feel at ease?"

"Sixth Uncle, don't say much. If Mu Chen is in trouble, he will find you. Please come back."

Gong Liu shook his head, "Mrs. Xiu is also a miserable person. I don't force Li Daxia. I also stay in Chang'an. I can also feel comforted by Mrs. Xiu's children."

He pointed to the two children around him and said, "These two children are the mistress's retainers. If there is anything that Li Daxia can't do, he can arrange for them to do it."

"Since I've said that I'm an ordinary person, I don't have anything to do with these old things."

Gong Liu touched the goatee's beard and was a little angry, "I didn't say I had anything to do with the past. It's really unreasonable for the hero. Do you think I want to take the young master and have a rare item? Do you think I want to take him back to compete for the throne of Dongshan? Follow me Gong Liu, you can live a life of an ordinary person, rather than following you Li Muchen and Xu Ban."

Li Muchen didn't say anything, stretched out a hand and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Gong Liu opened his mouth, raised his hand and put it down, and finally said nothing, shook his sleeves, "Ah Lang, Ah Lie, let's go." After that, he left with his two children, "Hmph, I will take care of Mrs. Xiu's children in my own way. Do you think ordinary people are so easy to be a man?"

The two half-old children around Gong Liu followed Uncle Liu, and the two of them muttered and discussed, looking back curiously at this hero who was famous all over the world.

Gong Liu walked in front with his hands behind his back, "You two remember that no matter whether you do things or be a human being, don't be too extreme. The top and bottom are full of blood and dirty things. If you want to last forever, be the middle one."

Ah Lang quietly asked A Lie, "Do you understand?"

A Lie shook his head, "Don't think my surname is Dong, I will understand nothing."

Gong Liu found a small courtyard opposite Li Muchen, and became a Chang'an native. He lived opposite the door and looked up but didn't look down. Dai Lang and Dong Lie will go to Li Muchen to ask for advice from time to time. Gong Liu hired an old lady for Li Muchen and took care of Han Xing until he was three years old.

Dai Lang was so cunning, Dong Lie was righteous and intelligent, and the two suffered a lot with Gong Liu. Gong Liu bought the courtyard in Chang'an, but there was no money on him. He borrowed thirty taels of silver from Li Muchen, and the three of them began to look for things in Chang'an.

Gong Liu opened a bun shop at the south entrance of Shangshi Road. Alang and A Lie went to study with Li Muchen every day.

Li Muchen's teaching level may not be the best, his foundation is absolutely solid, and the two boys have a good foundation since childhood and are spiritual. When they meet the teachings of Li Muchen, a romantic figure of the generation, they can't even be outstanding.

Seeing that the second son was so smart, Li Muchen stopped teaching him, and let the two of them slap in a slight manner, just teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The greater the ability, the greater the ambition. Maybe they didn't think so, just like that, Li Muchen thought.

As soon as Chen Shi arrived, before dawn, Dong Lie and Dai Lang had already stood up and started working in the bun shop.

"Brother Lie, why don't Li Daxia teach us anymore? We haven't exposed his identity."

Dong Lie smiled and rubbed the noodles, "Maybe we are too powerful and scared the hero."

"Scared? No, we learned well, how could we scare him?"

"You think about it. Li Daxia said that if we want the young master to be an ordinary person, we naturally can't be too powerful. If we become powerful, we will definitely have ideas."

"Really? If it is true, Daxia Li would underestimate us too much. Our brothers' ambitions are not the small place in Dongshan."

"Shh, stop talking. I heard it by Daxia Li. Maybe I don't even have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Brother Lie, I want to participate in the imperial examinations of the Qin Dynasty and then become a military officer. It is best to be exiled to be a military governor, just like Chen Fanglie of Donglin, who is in charge of the prefecture and leads his own army."

"Well, come on, I will support you."

"Brother Lie, what about you, don't you participate in the imperial examination?"

"If you don't participate, you see that Chang'an is so prosperous, it is much more prosperous than our Canghai City. I want to create a career in Chang'an so that Uncle Six has no worries and does what he wants to do. Remember, from today on, we are from the Qin people."

"A native of Daqin? Well, what is the sixth uncle who wants to do?"

"I don't know either. Maybe I'm enjoying my old age. If you study hard, I don't have much pursuit. Just live a more comfortable life."

"What are you two little bastards muttering about? Have the dough been reconciled?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Muchen appeared at the door with a cold face, "Xing'er was taken away by Xu Ban. It was said that Xing'er's identity had been found on the Mingjingtai of the Upper Court. He was the prince of Dongshan Kingdom and was taken to the palace as a hostage. You three are satisfied now."

"Why didn't Li Daxia steal him out? With Li Daxia here, who can take someone from you?"

Li Muchen smiled bitterly, "I can't have Fu Xiuxiu's entrusted, Xu Ban has his own plans."

After Li Muchen finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving a room full of stunned people.

Xu Ban is indeed capable. After only three years as a proton, an assassin came from Dongshan to prevent problems. Proton Hanxing died in a bad life. Hanxing became Li Muchen's distant nephew, and lived in Chang'an. On the south side of the city, Chen Qi became Xu Ban's registered disciple. Later, Xu Ban gave Hanxing the identity of a level 8 walker.
