Chapter 50 A touch of red glow, long-term discussion
Li Duen really didn't understand. He thought he had learned a lot about the girl of the Leng family, but he hadn't seen her for a few days. How did she get along well with the prince who suddenly came here and the arrogant Mr. Dou?
How many things does this little girl hide? How capable is she?
Li Duen sat in front of the door and thought about it for a long time. When he came to his senses, he suddenly got up and ran to the inner yard. He ran back to his bedroom, took out a lacquered wooden box from under the bed, carefully opened the cow nose lock on the box, and took out something from it.
These are exactly the ones handed over by Leng Xuanrong and written by Leng Chengqi.
He looked at it carefully and again, and finally made up his mind to carefully put these pieces of paper back into the box, sealed the box with red paint, and then called his men to send the box out.
After doing this, Li Duen found that his sweat was almost soaked in his clothes. He asked people to take a bath water, took off his clothes and soaked them in a big wooden bucket. The heat steamed, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Li Duen was still thinking that the reason why he sent that thing out at this time was also after careful consideration.
The last time he was turned away from Wuming County was a big blow to Li Duen. After getting these pieces of paper from Leng Xuanrong, the first thing he did was to read the above content word by word from beginning to end.
After reading it, Li Duen understood the meaning of the sentence "Some things, as long as you know, you can't look back" to him before leaving.
He really doesn't want to know what is written on these papers for the rest of his life. But now he sees that there is no way back for him.
"There is a long way to go, Lord Li, have a good journey."
Leng Xuanrong's cold voice was still wandering around Li Duen's ears. Although he was now soaked in the steaming water, he still had a chill.
Li Duen knows very well that the road in front of him is either to senior officials or to Huangquan hell.
That's why he hasn't sent things out. He has nothing to rely on now. He hastily asked for credit, but I'm afraid there will be a disaster of killing.
But when he saw Leng Xuanrong with the king of Xiaohan, Li Duen suddenly thought that now he was not only involved in this matter, from the king of Xiaohan, and even the emperor to the cunning girl Leng Xuanrong, all of them deliberately wanted to occupy from this huge whirlpool. According to a favorable position.
Compared with those people, Li Duen knows that he is just an unknown fish.
If you can't grasp the life-saving straw in front of you now, in case something happens and the news of the inside story leaks out, you will definitely die.
Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take this opportunity to climb higher and find a tougher leaner.
Li Duen is a natural gambler. When there was only one way to go and only two points to be suppressed, he almost did not hesitate to bet on the side he thought he had the most winning.
A fugitive and a county magistrate.
Originally, in Li Duen's heart, the whole thing only revolved around these two people. Even if such a little girl appeared later, he didn't care too much. Even if there was another matter of the shopkeeper of Moge Han, Li Duen was not afraid. Even if he was asked to face the third son of the Liang family, Li Duen was not so panicked.
The things written on the light rice paper are too big for Li Duen.
He never thought that what Lord He asked him to do would involve such a big thing, and he didn't expect that the so-called "high-ranking official" was equivalent to his headweight.
It's no wonder...
No wonder the cold girl has been weird.
Li Duen lifted the water and patted his face. He secretly made up his mind that after he passed this hurdle, he would catch the little girl anyway and figure out what she knew and what she was going to do.
While Li Duen racked his brains to worry about these problems, the two soft sedan chairs carrying Leng Xuanrong and Mr. Dou had arrived at the old house.
When the two entered the room, Leng Chengqi came out of his room and saw that Leng Xuanrong's hands were wrapped in snow-white soft cloth, and his face suddenly became ugly. He came over trembling and asked, "What's wrong with Xuanrong? What's going on?"
Leng Xuanrong forced the pain in his hand, smiled and comforted his father, "It's okay. I just accidentally fell down."
At this time, Mr. Dou came forward and whispered, "Mr. Leng, don't worry, Miss Xuanrong's injury has been diagnosed and treated by the doctor." With that, he took out the bags of medicine from his arms and put them on the table.
Ceng Chengqi picked up the medicine bag and smelled it. Then he nodded and sighed, "Be careful..."
Leng Xuanrong asked his father to sit down and then introduced him again, "Father, this Mr. Dou, he is a disciple of Mr. Zhang Chengmu Zhang, a hermit of the previous dynasty."
Mr. Dou respectfully saluted Leng Chengqi and said, "The younger generation Dou Haowei has heard Mr. Leng's name for a long time. I'm late to visit him. I hope you will forgive me."
Leng Chengqi stood up to help Mr. Dou and let him sit down. Then he said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang would have such a young disciple... I don't know if he is still healthy... How are those dragons and phoenix koi raised..."
Mr. Dou was stunned when he heard the words. He came to his senses and hurriedly said, "My teacher returned to the mountains and forests, accompanied by the breeze and the moon every day. He recited the flowers and trees. He was open-minded and carefree, so he was strong and healthy. Those dragons, phoenix and koi teachers have always been regarded as treasures. They are raised under the window of the bedroom in the backyard, see them in the morning, look at night, and occasionally drink with them, dance the piano and sing..."
Leng Chengqi couldn't help laughing when he heard this. After laughing, he sighed again.
Even Leng Xuanrong, who was sitting in the distance, saw that his father seemed to know Mr. Zhang, and he was not a general acquaintance.
Seeing this, Mr. Dou also immediately asked, "Is it possible that Mr. Leng and his family teacher have made old friends?"
Leng Chengqi frowned and sighed, "He lives a free life, and now he is healthy, better than anything else."
Mr. Dou also frowned. He followed his master for many years, but he never heard him mention anything to make friends in front of him. Whenever he talked about the past, the master always replaced his name with one thing, so Mr. Dou could not guess who the master was talking about.
However, Mr. Dou is also very clear that most of the people who can make friends with the master are famous. Most of these people have a strange temper. It is estimated that the master does not mention their names.
I didn't expect that the experienced, thin and sick Mr. Leng in front of him also knew his master.
Mr. Dou just sighed a little, and then said, "Mr. Leng, Miss Xuanrong should have also told you that King Xiaohan came to this Nayan County. He was also very surprised to learn about you from Miss Xuanrong, but... Now that the court is still dirty, the prince is temporarily unable to separate himself for you. Grievance, please be patient for the time being. The prince asked me to bring you a message. He said that if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely visit you in person.
Leng Chengqi seemed to be a little excited when he heard Mr. Dou's words. His voice trembled a little and said, "Wang Jiaqian can remember that he is already a rotten creation. How dare you bother the prince to come in person... Isn't this a broken and old... Alas..." Leng Chengqi sighed and looked at Mr. Dou and said, "Mr. Dou , I often hear from the little girl. If it hadn't been for your help many times during this period, it would have been difficult for our father and daughter to live. With such kindness, I don't know if I can still have a chance to repay in this life. The things on the old man's body are not enough to help the prince clean up his dirt, but if it is useful for the old man, even if he fights this cheap life, the old man will not hesitate.
Mr. Dou saw that Leng Chengqi said this with incomparable perseverance in his eyes, and a feeling of admiration arose in his heart.
A scholar can still be so strong after going through hardships. This Mr. Leng is really a model for scholars.
Thinking of this, Mr. Dou stood up again and bowed deeply to Chengqi.
Leng Chengqi hurriedly got up to help him, but when he was a little together, it was dark in front of him and he went to the chair again.
Leng Xuanrong took a look and hurried to help his father. Mr. Dou was also shocked. The two sent Leng Chengqi back to the room to rest. After coming out of the room, Mr. Dou suddenly grabbed Leng Xuanrong's arm and frowned and said, "Miss Xuanrong, let me do my best for you and for your father..."
Leng Xuanrong was shocked by Mr. Dou's sudden move. She stood there at a loss. It took her a long time to react and asked softly, "Mr. Dou, what do you mean by that?"
Mr. Dou himself was stunned when she asked such a rhetorical question.
At this time, he realized that he had grabbed Leng Xuanrong's arm. At this time, Mr. Dou's cheek suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly let go of his hand and took a few steps aside.
After a long time, he explained, "I'm just a scholar. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about things in the court, but there are still some yellow and white things, at least... at least..." Mr. Dou rarely spoke so hesitantly. He tried hard for a long time to say this sentence, "At least I don't want to see you again!"
Only then did Leng Xuanrong understand what Mr. Dou meant.
After understanding, Leng Xuanrong was not only not happy, but also a little uncomfortable.
Speaking of silver, she still has 300 taels of silver knocked from Li Duen in her hand. The so-called grievance is just a small trick deliberately shown to Du Yilin. Unexpectedly, he finally made Mr. Dou believe it and said such a thing.
Mr. Dou's heart turned around when he saw Leng Xuanrong frown and showed distress. Thinking that it may be abrupt to say so, Mr. Dou hurriedly explained, "The prince has promised to help your father and daughter, so Xuanrong, you are not the time to work for a living now... Mr. Leng is in poor health. Only by taking good care of him can we talk about it in the long run..."
