Chapter 260 The Tao Te Ching
Two days had passed since the day when the Xiang family was destroyed, and Qin Hu and the other eight people had almost returned. However, Li Jiancheng felt that something was wrong.
Daxing outer base
"Master, Xiang Yuqin has been dealt with, and we have burned the body on the spot." Qin Hu reported respectfully. When it comes to doing business, Qin Hu always maintains a rigorous attitude; usually, he also
He can make jokes and so on. This aspect of him makes Li Jiancheng deeply satisfied. To behave in the world, one must know how to be flexible.
"Haha, the five of you went out. With Xiang Yuqin's strength, there will definitely be no problem." Li Jiancheng praised with a smile. Then, he turned around and looked at Zhou Laotan and the others and asked: "How did you rescue them?"
How are you doing?"
"Master, this subordinate is guilty!" Upon hearing Li Jiancheng's question, the three of them immediately knelt down on one knee.
"Okay, let's talk about it if you have anything to do!" Li Jiancheng's face didn't change much, and he still said calmly.
"yes!"
The three of them stood up obediently, still with a look of shame on their faces. Finally, Zhou Laotan stood up and said, "Master, Laotan is willing to bear the responsibility for this mistake."
"Master, Huan is really willing to take the responsibility!"
"Master, Youxian is willing to bear it."
Li Jiancheng glanced at the three of them and said calmly: "Who is right and who is wrong will be discussed later. Let me tell you what happened first."
Following Zhou Laotan's explanation, Li Jiancheng finally understood the general outline.
It turned out that after Zhou Laotan, Jin Huanzhen, and Zuo Youxian killed Xiang Yuchun, they found a hotel to rest for the night. When the three of them were about to leave the next day, they discovered that Dou Jiande was under arrest.
Yang Wenqian's order.
The three of them were all surprised. Wasn't Yang Wenqian killed by them?
Later, after some investigation by the three of them, they found that Xiang Yuchun was not dead after being pierced by Zuo Youxian's sword. He even obtained some military information from Dou Jiande and left. After a day, the three of them found out that Xiang Yuchun had already died.
On the way to Turks.
Originally, Xiang Yuchun had no intention of going to Turks, but he found that the Xiangjia Restaurant in Hebei had been destroyed. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Turks.
The three of them knew that they could no longer catch up with Xiang Yuchun, so they had no choice but to come back to report.
"Yeah!" After listening to Zhou Laotan's story, Li Jiancheng nodded slightly and said calmly: "Some people's hearts will grow a little on the side. Maybe Xiang Yuchun is like this and can escape the disaster.
To put it bluntly, the three of you didn't make much of a mistake, but it was your negligence that allowed Xiang Yuchun to escape, so the punishment you deserve is still there."
"We are willing to be punished." The three of them showed no fear at all and looked willing to do so.
"Master, the fault is not with the three of them. I beg you to give me a lighter punishment." Qin Hu and the other five begged.
Li Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction. His subordinates got along well with each other and there was no squeeze. Li Jiancheng was naturally happy. Besides, he had no intention of severely punishing Zhou Laotan and the others.
Li Jiancheng thought for a while, and finally said in a deep voice: "Since Qin Hu and the five of them are interceding for you, I will punish you to spend twenty days in the base thinking about it, and you will not be allowed to leave the base during this period. In addition, you will not be able to write a 10,000-word self-reflection. Okay.
,that's all!"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and finally Zhou Laotan shouted miserably: "Ah, Master! Let us go to the Turks to deal with Xiang Yuchun."
Li Jiancheng said with a serious face: "Xiang Yuchun escaped with his life this time, so he will definitely be more careful in the future. Besides, the Turks are not as good as the Central Plains. As soon as the three of you go, you will naturally be discovered. By then Xiang Yuchun is gone.
Instead of settling it, I got myself involved. This matter has been settled like this, and there is no need to bargain anymore."
Seeing that Li Jiancheng spoke so resolutely, the three of them looked at each other and looked at each other. It was okay to let them fight and kill, but if they were asked to write a self-criticism, wouldn't this cost lives?
However, Li Jiancheng said there was no point in bargaining, so the three of them could only accept the punishment with a grimace.
"Hey!" Li Jiancheng walked out of the meeting hall and finally couldn't help but laugh. Looking at the grimaces on the three people's faces, it became more and more interesting the more he thought about it. Now he finally understood why when he was in school, teachers liked to punish students for copying.
Damn it, it feels so good.
"Jian Jiancheng, you are smiling so happily, have you decided to unseat me and become the emperor yourself?"
"Gah..." Li Jiancheng, who was immersed in joy, was almost choked by these words. Without looking, he already knew who it was just by saying these words.
Li Jiancheng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Uncle Lu, you can't say this nonsense. It would be bad if others heard it."
Lu Miaozi waved her hands indifferently: "What are you afraid of? I don't think you care about these things."
Li Jiancheng rolled his eyes and said seriously: "I'm not afraid! But if people know that it was you who said it, they will think of Xiu Xun and think that Xiu Xun has some ideas, right?"
"Uh..." Lu Miaozi was speechless upon hearing this. He touched his beard and said helplessly: "You kid... By the way, the fireworks you mentioned earlier are ready. Do you want them?"
Look? What are you doing tinkering with this thing? It’s such a waste!"
Lu Miaozi looked at him as if he were a prodigal, and Li Jiancheng shrugged depressedly: "Uncle Lu, Jiancheng can rest assured. As for the purpose, Uncle Lu will know it when the time comes. Don't waste your precious time, Uncle Lu, just start with Jiancheng."
Let’s go, hehehe…”
Lu Miaozi smiled, she was just happy to stay with the boy, and shouted in the direction where Li Jiancheng was leaving: "Xiu Xun is here, bring her to see me, otherwise I will go on strike and quit!"
"knew…"
On the way back, Li Jiancheng thought that he would see Shang Xiuxun soon, and the scenes at [Pegasus Ranch] flashed through his mind, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Huh?" Looking at the carriage at the door of his house, Li Jiancheng was stunned. It seemed familiar! A closer look revealed that this was not the carriage that belonged to the Li family. Could it be that it was here to cause trouble again?
Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng hurriedly ran inside.
When I arrived at the lobby, I was stunned.
I saw my father Li Yuan sitting on the main seat, and on his right were Li Qianzhi and Li Qianmu. There were four people standing behind Li Qianzhi, the four elders of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter; and Li Qianmu's
There was also a person standing behind him, but he was only about twenty-five or six years old. At this time, he was lowering his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
On the left side of Li Yuan sat Li Shentong and Dou Xian. Behind Li Shentong, Li Daozong stood with his head held high, but the way he winked showed that this boy didn't seem to be standing very comfortably; and Dou Xian
Behind him stood Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, Li Xiuning, and Li Yuanba.
Li Shimin stood there with an indifferent expression, still with a gentle smile on his face; Li Yuanji shook his head from time to time, seemingly dissatisfied; Li Xiuning also buried his head, not knowing what he was thinking; Li Yuanba's eyes were tight
Shut up, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
Li Jiancheng was puzzled. It looked like he was having a family meeting?
Li Jiancheng came in. Li Yuan, who was sitting in the middle, was the first to see it. He immediately smiled and said, "Cheng'er, you came back just in time."
Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, everyone immediately turned their eyes. Everyone's expressions were different, some were happy, some were confused, some were afraid, and so on.
After Li Jiancheng came in, he enjoyed a rare treat for this generation, which was that he could sit down. When he saw Li Jiancheng sitting down, the eyes of the young man behind Li Qianmu couldn't help but light up.
"Dad, this is..." Li Jiancheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Before Li Jiancheng had finished asking, Li Yuan said happily: "Cheng'er, from now on, our Li family will be a complete Li family, and there won't be any differences. Second uncle, I also agree to let your mother be included in the family tree." ."
Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Jiancheng immediately understood that it seemed that Li Qianzhi had compromised.
"Jian Jiancheng's great-nephew, it was Second Grandpa who was wrong before, so don't blame Second Grandpa! Now I have taken it lightly, we are all a family, what can't we say?" Li Qianzhi said with a smile, and then turned to face the young man. Said: "Haoyu, build this thing."
"Yes! Second Grandpa." Li Haoyu said respectfully.
Li Jiancheng was stunned, what do you have for yourself?
Looking at Li Jiancheng's appearance, Li Qianzhi explained: "Jianjiancheng, this thing is an heirloom of the Li family. It has been in the hands of the family owners for generations. It was owned by the ancestor Li Dan during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was called the Tao Te Ching." .Originally, it was supposed to be given to your father, but your father said to keep it for you, so it will be yours from now on."
