The direct descendants discussed for a while, but Li Tongya's funeral was still kept secret, only white silk was hung on the mountain, and several direct descendants worshipped themselves and dispersed.
The news of Li Tongya's death was known to several direct descendants before, and he had already completed his three years of filial piety, but now he was just a trace of sorrow, and he hurriedly threw himself into his respective duties.
Li Xuanxuan stayed at home for a few days, and it was rare to meet Li Yuanping every day, hugged Li Ximing with a smile and teased him for a while, and said softly:
"Ming'er, how much have you read the Dan book?"
"You can already summon the Dan Fire!"
Li Ximing nodded obediently, put his hands together, and summoned a handful of pure white fire, warm as jade, cool as water, and jumped quietly between his palms.
Li Yuanping hugged Li Ximing happily, looked at Li Xuanxuan with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice:
"My father rarely comes back, so he will stay at home for a while longer, and just leave it to the family in Fangshi......"
"No, you can't."
Li Xuanxuan immediately became serious and replied:
"I am old and have long lost my enterprising spirit, and my father saw it clearly, so he sent me to the market."
His unsmiling face showed a hint of shame, and he whispered:
"Your uncle can see that I, Li Xuanxuan, am actually not a great talent for managing a family, and I can only be a shopkeeper at best.
"It's just that the population was sparse at that time, my father died early, and several uncles always felt sorry for me, and the power in the family was always on me."
With a hint of guilt on his face, he said softly:
"Xuanling is actually much better than me, my father favors me, so I can only call him unknown, but even if my father died early, he is also loved by the villagers and admired by everyone."
"What about me... What about me..."
Li Xuanxuan sighed in amazement and said in a loud voice:
"How will the world call me ...... a hundred years later?"
Li Yuanping saw his father like this for the first time, his heart was sour, and he was about to speak, when he saw Li Xuanxuan smile slightly and continued:
"Fortunately, I have come this way, my family is full of vitality and orderly, you are better than my father and me, do your best!"
After saying that, he smiled proudly, touched Li Ximing's head, walked out of the yard, and left with the wind.
Li Yuanping smiled muffledly, looked down, Li Yuanjiao walked into the hall just right, it seemed that he didn't want to disturb the words of the two of them, waited outside for a while, sat down on the side, and saw a person coming up from the bottom of the head, bowing down:
"Master, Shamori, the lord of Dongshanyue, came alone with a horse, saying that he had broken through the fourth layer of qi training and wanted to go up the mountain to practice, and no longer coveted power."
"Samori?"
Li Yuanping raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Yuanjiao on the side, and said in a low voice:
"I remember that Samori had a son who was raised in my house... It is a branch of my Li family, called Li Jiman, who has gone to Shanyue to govern a city a few years ago."
"Not bad."
Li Yuanjiao moved the cup, obviously he had already thought about this matter, Li Yuanping flipped through the table, found a small letter, frowned, and said:
"The evaluation of the clan is humble and courteous, and has the demeanor of a good person."
"From my brother's point of view, how is this person?"
Li Yuanjiao has been practicing in Dongshan Yue all year round, and he knows these things, and shook his head when he heard this:
"This person is respectful on the outside and aggressive on the inside, much more restless than Shamori, but fortunately, the aristocrats of the Dongshan Yue family have grown up, so it is not bad to use this person as a knife."
"Oh."
Li Yuanping put away the small letter, took a sip of tea, and Dou Yi, who was the next leader, finally found an opportunity to interject and said in a low voice:
"Master, Nasha Mori subdued a demon horse, but it was a fifth layer of fetal breath, only one line away from the one that was with Jiani Xi back then.
"Oh?"
Li Yuanping raised his head when he heard this, and looked at his brother on the side with a smile, Li Yuanjiao said softly:
"But a good horse?"
"This is nature!"
Dou Yitian responded with a flattering face, but saw Li Yuanping shaking his head and saying:
"Whether it's a good horse or not, you always have to try riding it to find out, a horse that is too strong is easy to hurt its owner, and a horse that is too docile cannot travel a thousand miles."
Dou Yi nodded inexplicably, but Li Yuanjiao on the side smiled and replied:
"Then leave it to Brother Ping."
"Don't worry, brother."
Li Yuanping lowered his eyebrows and looked at the letter in his hand, nodded steadily, and said in a deep voice:
"Call him in!"
The next man retreated in response, and not long after, he saw a man dressed in splendid clothes and wearing a jade crown walking in, and said respectfully:
"Samori has seen the head of the family!"
This person is the lord of Shanyue, Shamori, now practicing qi four layers of cultivation, although he is practicing miscellaneous qi, but because of the advanced technique, it is not much worse than ordinary righteous qi monks, Li Yuanping glanced at him and said gently:
"Since you want to give up your position and go up the mountain to practice, are you willing to go to Wutu Mountain with my brother?"
"The villain can't ask for it!"
Shamori knelt down on one knee and responded respectfully, and after finishing this form, Li Yuanjiao on the side stood up and said with a smile:
"Then I'll go back to the mountain first!"
"Okay!"
Li Yuanping nodded, watched his brothers Li Yuanjiao and Shamori say goodbye and leave, waved his hand at Li Ximing, who was helping Xiao Yu squat next to him and silently watching the crowd, and said with a smile:
"Let's go change into a military uniform."
Li Ximing's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked:
"Father, where are we going?"
Li Yuanping took off the cloak on his body and said softly:
"Test the horse!"
————
The climate on Mochizuki Lake has always been stable, and it has been rare for decades to have severe droughts and floods.
Li Yuanping has been quite interested recently, dressed in military uniform, driving a horse hurriedly, his pale face is rarely rosy, Li Ximing in his arms leaned on his chest, laughing non-stop.
"Drive!"
He dragged the rope and galloped on the road, and the cars with black flags behind him were left behind by him.
The Li family is much richer now, and the horse under Li Yuanping's crotch is the tribute from Shanyue, known as "heavy rubbing", stepping on the snow silently, moving forward like a ghost, and the five-layer cultivation of fetal breath was personally surrendered by Shamoli and brought Li Jing Mountain to offer.
Li Yuanping got a good horse, galloped a lot, and rushed from the outskirts of Lijing Town to the outskirts of Wutu in Dongshanyue in one go.
"Dad! Where is this?!"
"Higashiyama Yue."
Li Yuanping's expression was flying, he pressed his cough to his throat, stopped his horse, raised his riding whip, pointed to the continuous mountains in the north, and said with a smile:
"This mountain is Wutu to the north, it is rumored that Xiang Ping Gong led his troops from here, only two miles away from Mu Jiao Man's army, Xiang Ping Gong reined in his horse, and then escaped a disaster."
Li Ximing listened attentively, and then saw Li Yuanping say softly:
"Down this mountain is the border city of Wutu City, which can be regarded as prosperous, and Li Jiman has been in charge of affairs in this city for ten years."
"Li Jiman."
Li Ximing thought for a moment and replied:
"Son of Samori, Crown Prince of Shanyue... I will inherit the throne of Yamakoshi in a short time."
"Yes."
Li Yuanping responded to the words of the child in his arms, scanned left and right, and saw rainwater falling on the branches and leaves.
He drove the horse carelessly, his ears moved slightly, and he said interestingly:
"Li Jiman is a smart person, but he is warlike and killing, respectful on the outside and cunning on the inside."
The heavy horse snorted and walked up the high slope, with an unobstructed view of the mountain, screams and roars one after another, and the ground was covered in blood.
A plain below the mountain, the city walls of Wutu City were in sight, and a group of skinny Shanyue people were trembling and holding hoes and pitchforks, surrounding a gray wolf in it.
A group of soldiers sat on the wall watching, playing and laughing, and a young man sat at the top, holding melons and fruits, laughing.
"This is Li Jiman!"
Li Yuanping read lightly, Li Ximing in his arms frowned, and said in a low voice:
"Dad, what is he doing?"
"Watch a play."
Li Yuanping spat out two words coldly, and then saw a certain nobleman laugh, threw out a melon fruit, and smashed it on the wolf demon's head accurately, which stimulated the wolf to become ferocious, and tore a person to pieces with a whining blow.
The farmer's body was thin and small, and in an instant, it was shattered into the debris of the ground, which aroused the wolf's ferocity and screamed.
The princes of Shanyue and Li Jiman on the hill watched intently, bursting into laughter, the corpses fell, and the intestines and blood stains were everywhere, Li Ximing couldn't help but turn his head away, he couldn't bear to look.
"Take a good look."
Li Yuanping patted him lightly on the shoulder and said softly:
"Remember this scene... Only then will you know what you can do if you don't strictly enforce the criminal law."
He paused slightly and said:
"My cultivation is stagnant, there is no way forward, I am tired of playing with dogs and horses, I am tired of eating delicacies, and I have power and strength that far surpasses that of mortals, and I will always come up with some new ways to play."
Li Ximing nodded thoughtfully, and then saw Li Yuanping sneering:
"Get the bow!"
The jade court guard on the side hurriedly handed over the longbow, Li Yuanping sat down firmly on the heavy horse, exhaled and spoke, tilted his head to pull the bow, squinted at the people at the foot of the mountain, and said softly:
"Ming'er, look at it."
"Hugh—"
The long arrow broke through the sky, and the runes tattooed on it emitted a dazzling white light, falling like a meteor and falling down the mountain.
Li Jiman at the foot of the mountain was stretching his arms, holding melons and fruits in his hands, he didn't feel anything about the scene in front of him, he would only perfunctory everyone, Tian Rong on the side took a step forward and said with a smile:
"Brother? How is this? Interesting enough, right?!"
"It's interesting!"
Li Jiman glanced at him, secretly despised, breathed in the air under the mountain, and said secretly in his heart:
"The Tian family is in control of the government in Dongshan, and seeing that the old man is about to abdicate, how can the uncle be a puppet like a Samori? …… However, Tian Zhongqing was cautious and wanted to catch their handle and exchange interests with the Tian family, and he had to start with Tian Rong..."
He seemed to be watching the wolf demon trapped beast fighting, but he was still thinking about how to get Dongshan Yue's government into his own hands, but he never thought that his eyes lit up and a white light fell from the sky.
"Peng!"
The wolf demon was only one layer of fetal breath, how could it withstand this arrow, Peng's sound exploded into a blood clot, splattering blood all over the ground, Tian Rong, who was smiling foolishly, seemed to have been slapped, jumped up angrily, and scolded:
"Presumptuous! Who dares to disturb this young master Yaxing!"
Li Jiman had already gotten up and looked up, and his vision at the peak of fetal breath made him see the face of the man on the mountain clearly in an instant, and his mind went blank for a while, and his liver and gallbladder were shocked.
"Li Yuanping......"
He knelt down with a plop, lay on the ground, his head pressed tightly to the ground, shocked and frightened for a moment, sweat on his chest and back, sticky, and his eyes were red!
"The master hates killing the people the most... This is over!"
"Who harmed me...... Tian Zhongqing... Yes, it must be Tian... Tian Zhongqing... Damn! No wonder you want me to come here for a banquet, what a Tian Rong!"
Tian Rong was stunned for a few breaths, and then went to drag a few people on the ground, and then knelt down in hindsight, at a loss.
Li Yuanping, who was halfway up the mountain, was dressed in military uniform, holding the pink and jade carved Li Ximing in his arms, with a calm expression, looking at them quietly.
"Dad... They are so afraid of you! Are you going to kill them?"
The boy's crisp voice echoed in the mountains, and the people who stabbed the next one stood on end, and Li Jiman closed his eyes even tightly, wishing he could cut Tian Rong and Tian Shi on the side together.
Li Yuan led the horse steadily, attached it to the eldest son's ear, and whispered:
"No."
"Li Jiman is a smart person, and Tian Shi and Tian Zhongqing are even smarter."
He handed the Dharma bow in his hand to the Yu Tingwei on the side, and did not look at the people kneeling on the ground one by one, with their foreheads pressed against the ground, holding Li Ximing in his arms, and said in an incomprehensible voice:
"Daddy will teach you how a smart person can control a group of smart people."
"Okay!"
So he smiled coldly, pulled the rope, turned the horse's head, and stepped gently, the sound of the horse's hooves was silent, and he slowly walked into the dense forest when he came.
The Yu Tingwei on both sides glanced at the people below coldly, and then disappeared with the heavy horse, and after more than ten breaths, Li Jiman, who was the next leader, raised his head and shouted:
"The head of the family sees the slightest detail! I am grateful for your kindness!"
There was only a scorching wind at the top and did not answer, and the hatred in Li Jiman's eyes almost overflowed.
"Mr. Tian... Mr. Tian... I, Li Jiman, are incompatible with you!"
He stood up, stared at Tian Rong hatefully, and scolded:
"The kid is so good at pretending! It took you a lot of thought to trick me into watching this scene, right? Let me tell you! Let me tell you!"
Li Jiman believed that Tian Rong on the side had received Tian Zhongqing's order, and deliberately lured him over to be seen by Li Yuanping here, and pulled out the sword from his waist with a clanging sound, and scolded:
"Vert! How dare you bully me!"
Tian Rongwan was completely ignorant, unable to figure out what had happened just now, Li Jiman's face changed, he abruptly restrained the urge to cut down, kicked him on the shoulder, and made him fly out several feet, screaming like a rolling gourd.
"Get out!"
Seeing this Tian Rong fleeing, Li Jiman's face was ugly, he was different from this group of Shanyue nobles, he was the blood of the Li family, and he was under the control of the clan's main courtyard, even if Li Yuanping did not punish him, after a while, there were also people from the clan courtyard who came to inquire...
Li Jiman thought about the next troubles, and his heart was cold:
"Damn it!"
