After digging up all the news that Wan Yuankai knew, Li Xiangping sent away the lost Wan Yuankai, carefully put away the sketch in his hand, and took Li Yesheng back to Lijing Village.
Thanks to the continuous delivery of land taxes from the villages every year, the Li family was able to support more craftsmen, who mainly built small courtyards in the back mountain and were also responsible for the repair of Lijing Village when the construction period was loose.
After more than half a year of repairs, Lijing Village has changed its appearance, and the polished bluestone slabs are spliced together piece by piece, spreading from the front of Li's house to the entrance of the village, as the main artery of Lijing Village, spreading influence for the hub of power in these villages.
Liu Linfeng and others did not dare to use green bricks, but used second-class white bricks, and then used plaster to outline the wall joints.
Looking at the several buildings behind the village from a distance, the white brick courtyard is surrounded by the main house with green bricks and gray tiles, but it also has the taste of a small town in the ethereal wind and rain.
Li Mutian was in high spirits, moved neatly, holding a teacup in his hand, and the old god was sitting on the edge of the table, as if he had come out of the pain of losing his son a few years ago.
Although Li Mutian is just a mortal, Li Yesheng and others are still far more afraid of him than Li Tongya and Li Xiangping.
"Xuan'er!"
Li Xiangping smiled and picked up Li Xuanxuan who was flying over, this child reached the age of studying, the Li family still invited Han Wenxu to be a teacher, Li Xuanxuan is smart and clever, and it is not difficult to teach.
"Today I went to Reeds with Xie Wen, and he said that Uncle Ye Sheng used to release ducks there when he was a child!"
Li Xuanxuan hugged Li Xiangping with a smile and said in a childish voice.
The Li family took the lead in marrying Li Yesheng, and Li Xiewen was Li Yesheng's child, who was only more than two years old, running around following Li Xuanxuan every day.
"It's not."
Li Yesheng behind him replied with a smile.
"Call the second brother back."
Li Xiangping turned his head and ordered with a smile, watching Li Yesheng retreat in response and gradually move away, and then looked at Li Xuanxuan.
"At that time, Uncle San, I was catching fish on the side, and the fish was fat, covered in green scales, and slippery."
Li Xiangping put him down and pinched Li Xuanxuan's little face, but his eyes wandered, staring blankly into the distance, as if he was stuck in some kind of deep memory.
"That fish is the most delicious fish that the third uncle has ever eaten, it is the fish in the sky, the fairy among the fish......"
"What about Wan Jia?"
Li Mutian glanced low, put the tea in his hand on the table, and interrupted Li Xiangping with a sound.
"The strength is far better than my Li family, it has a long history, there is a family head with Yujinglun cultivation in the clan, and there is also that ten thousand Kai, who achieved Qingyuan at a young age."
Li Xiangping patted Li Xuanxuan, let the child play by himself, raised his head and replied.
As soon as he said that, Li Tongya walked into the courtyard, his face was solemn, he found a place to sit down, and listened carefully to Li Xiang's equal words.
Li Xiangping said all the words of Wan Yuankai in one go, then picked up the teacup and looked at the two of them while drinking heavily.
"If this ten thousand families are really forced internally and externally, they can help and help, and the Ji family is close at hand, if these ten thousand families really fall, the lips and teeth will be cold, and the next one will probably be my Li family."
Li Tongya silently listened to Li Xiangping's words and looked at the sketch with it.
"Ten thousand families want to be saved, but there must be a way to save it, it must be the most beneficial way for my Li family, Xiang Ping, listen to me."
Li Mutian squinted his eyes, raised his eyebrows, looked at the tea in the cup quietly, and said again:
"The Wan family said that the Ji family took away his spiritual rice, so he replied like this - just say that my Li family still has free spiritual land, but there is no manpower, so he asked him to send someone to my Li family to plant rice here, and the harvest will be 30% of my Li family.
"Exactly."
Li Xiangping nodded, obviously thinking of something with his father, and said seriously:
"It's just that this Ji family knows the spiritual field of the Wan family well, presumably the inside has become a sieve, this matter must be kept secret by the ten thousand yuan Kai, at this moment, my Li family must not face the Ji family, just silently promote support behind the Wan family."
"Not bad."
Li Mutian nodded appreciatively, took a sip of tea gently, and continued:
"The strength of the two families is far better than my family, at this moment we still have to hide our light and accumulate strength, the Ji family is aggressive, and their hearts are reprehensible, and although the Wan family is under the rule of Qingchi, they must also be beware next to the bed."
Li Tongya looked at the sketch for a long time, and suddenly spoke:
"The Ji family in this picture is adjacent to my Li family?"
"Yes."
Li Xiangping nodded, nodded at Li Daokou, and said in a deep voice:
"The Guli Road diverges here, all the way north, straight into the territory of the Naji family, all the way to the east, leading to the territory of Wanjia."
After a pause, looking at Li Tongya's thoughtful appearance, Li Xiangping continued:
"I asked that Wan Yuankai, more than a hundred years ago, a monster gathered several little demons and built a demon cave on the road leading to the Ji family, so the road was cut off from then on, and even the Ji family abandoned that land, but nominally it was still under the control of the Ji family."
"I see" Li Tongya said suddenly: "In this way, there is no need to be afraid of the entry of the Ji family, as long as the ten thousand families do not fall, the Ji family will never threaten here."
"That monster is also smart, it chose the junction of the Qingchi Sect and the Golden Gate, and devoted himself to cultivating in its demon cave, and did not come out to cause trouble."
Li Xiangping said softly, turning his head to look at Li Mutian:
"I heard that Wan Yuankai said that there was a mountain in the west of my house, father, you fought with that mountain and river, what news did you have?"
Li Mutian waved his hand and said:
"If you want to talk about appearance, those Shanyue people are very different from us, they are nothing more than cutting their hair and tattoos, they don't understand the language, and the mountains are good at martial arts and warfare, noble strength, and there are Laozi witches in the clan, who are good at cursing and driving away beasts, and are not easy to deal with."
"I don't know how effective the exorcism you are waiting for, as long as you can deal with that curse, the villagers and the enemy are on par with each other, but it's not impossible to deal with it."
"It's not urgent."
Li Tongya spoke, pointed to the Li family on the map, and spoke:
"The Wan family has been squeezed and cut by the Ji family many times, and the area divided by Si Yuanbai for my Li family is larger, and now my Li family's territory is even bigger than Wanjia's territory."
"The land is vast and sparsely populated, and my Li family's strength is low, but they are just fat. With the ten thousand families resisting in front, wait for my Li family to develop for a few years, and then completely grasp these territories before talking about anything else."
