Chapter 90: Parting in the World
Li Xiaofei and Murong Ling stayed in Shouxian County for ten days. In order to take good care of the little prince, Murong Ling spent money to buy a wet nurse. The wet nurse was in her twenties, but she looked very old. Murong Ling bought it from a trafficker.
The nurse's name was Guiniang. Her husband died of a sudden illness, so her husband's brother sold her and the child. After hearing Guiniang's cry, Li Xiaofei was furious and wanted to go find those people, but Murong Ling stopped him: "
These destitute families are everywhere in the world, how many of them can you control? Besides, those people are also poor, so if you kill them, you will have upheld justice?"
Li Xiaofei stamped his feet: "Sad, really sad. I thought the rich bullied the poor in this world, but the poor also bullied the poor. This world is so fucking frustrating!"
Hongrui came over with Youran in her arms: "Xiao Fei, if you are really determined to help the poor in the world, you should climb to the highest position to change everything. Otherwise, you will just drink and curse a few words, which will not help!"
Murong Ling glanced at Li Xiaofei: "Let's stay here for another ten days, and I'll teach you three tricks to save your life. At least you won't be killed easily in the future when you fight or do chivalry! Hong Rui beats you with words every day, I think we
It's better to go back to Chang'an to help defend the city. There are many more poor people in Chang'an than in Shouxian County!"
When she heard that she would return to Chang'an in ten days, Hongrui hugged Youran and sat down next to Li Xiaofei, letting Li Xiaofei hold Youran. Youran seemed to understand what Murong Ling said, and she started crying, and scratched Li Xiaofei's face with her two little hands.
.
Li Xiaofei hugged Youran and coaxed him: "Daddy is still here. If daddy doesn't leave, daddy must stay with Youran well. Ah, don't cry. Dad won't leave."
Hongrui also teased Youran with a rattle, and after a while Youran started to giggle, and then fell asleep.
The first of Murong Ling's three life-saving moves is called Survival from a desperate situation. The essence of this move is to run towards the opponent's killing move and then avoid it unexpectedly.
It sounds simple, but it tests a person's judgment and speed. Murong Ling found some thin bamboos and cut them into arrows, wrapped them in cloth, dipped them in lime, opened his bow and shot Li Xiaofei. In the first three days, Li Xiaofei's face was covered with arrows.
Lime, a layer of skin peeled off on the face.
By the fourth day, Li Xiaofei was able to dodge half of the arrows. Li Xiaofei was very happy, but Murong Ling said lightly: "I only used 10% of the strength. If I used half of the strength, the cloth head could also shoot you."
wear"
Li Xiaofei didn't believe it, so Murong Ling used a little force and shot through Li Xiaofei's right sleeve. Li Xiaofei was stunned on the spot.
Murong Ling smiled: "I was 30% strong just now, but ordinary people usually only have 20% strength. You can practice with soldiers later. Now I will teach you the second move to escape."
To run away was to run away, but Li Xiaofei had to carry a millstone on his back and run away. Li Xiaofei was almost crushed by the millstone several times. On the eighth day of training, Murong Ling asked Li Xiaofei to remove the millstone before running away, and also taught him to breathe and adjust his breathing.
Hui understood quickly and knew that he still had to practice when he returned to Chang'an, so he asked Murong Ling the essence of the third move so that he could prepare in advance.
Murong Ling said that the third move would be taught again in Chang'an, but Li Xiaofei refused to tell him even though he pestered him to ask.
Ten days passed quickly. Hongrui coaxed Youran to sleep, prepared Li Xiaofei's luggage and made a large bag of Hu cakes. She also cut off a strand of hair, wrapped it in a sachet and stuffed it into Li Xiaofei's arms. Li Xiaofei looked indoors.
He glanced at Youran and wanted to go in and give her a hug, but Hongrui made a silent gesture: "She finally fell asleep. You should leave quickly. When the war in Chang'an is over, you can come and pick up our mother and daughter."
Li Xiaofei nodded, hugged Hong Rui and got intimate with her, then turned around and followed Murong Ling to lead the horse.
Guiniang hugged the young prince and got into the carriage. The driver was none other than Meng Wuwu.
As soon as Li Xiaofei got on the horse, Youran in the room started crying.
Hongrui had no choice but to take Youran out. Li Xiaofei jumped off the horse and ran over to pick up Youran and coax her until Youran fell asleep, before Li Xiaofei got on the horse and left.
Walking outside the city, Gui Niang stuck her head out of the car window: "Sir, can you let me go see my late husband?"
Murong Ling turned around and said, "Go ahead."
Meng Wuwu jumped out of the carriage and picked up Gui Niang: "Hey, it is really affectionate and righteous. I will accompany you to see it."
Li Xiaofei looked at Meng Wuwu, who was dressed in civilian clothes: "Old Meng, aren't you a big boss in Shouxian County? Why did you end up working as a coachman for Murong?"
Meng Wuwu lowered his head and followed Guiniang without answering. Murong smiled: "He was greedy and caught the crane raised by Mr. Xie. He lost all his family property in one fell swoop and was dismissed from the position of commander. Haha,
He is such a poor man!"
Li Xiaofei looked at Meng Crow's back: "Looking at Lao Meng like this now, I feel like he is the good brother I am familiar with. This is also a good thing. It is also a good thing that he disappeared before he had enough money to do harm to the world.
.By the way, why didn’t Huang Banxian come?”
Murong Ling sighed: "When something happened to Meng Crow, Huang Banxian hid because he was afraid of being implicated."
While they were talking, a carriage came from behind, and the person who got out of the carriage was none other than Huang Banxian: "It's been a long time, my lords, I haven't seen you. Huang came here to see you off today." After saying this, he asked the servant to bring wine and meat.
Li Xiaofei laughed loudly: "It was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived, and this Huang Banxian finally showed up."
Huang Banxian took out a baggage: "Where did Meng Crow go? I'm very ashamed. Something happened to him. I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I kept hiding. Today I found out that he was leaving. I still have some gold and silver here and gave them to him.
It won’t be in vain for our brothers.”
Huang Banxian put the baggage on the horse and was about to leave. Murong Ling coughed: "Isn't the imperial master even qualified to have a drink with you? Besides, if you don't wait for Meng Crow, I will give you the money."
He stole it for himself!"
Huang Banxian turned around and smiled: "You, with your martial arts skills, can bully people wherever you go. OK, OK, I'll wait for Meng Crow here."
The three of them chatted for another half an hour before Meng Wuwu came back supporting the crying Guiniang.
When Huang Banxian saw Meng Wuwu approaching, he waved: "Meng Wuwu, Huang is here to see you off."
Meng Crow raised his head: "You Huang Banxian, I just went to visit your grave, why did you pretend to be dead?"
It had been a long time since everyone heard what he said from the crow's mouth, and this made them all amused. Only Gui Niang looked at them inexplicably, wiping her tears.
Huang Banxian took the gold and silver baggage on the horse and gave it to Meng Crow: "Brother, when you were in trouble, I didn't help you. I'm sorry for you. These money are given to you to settle down. Please accept it."
"
Meng Wuwu straightened his face and refused righteously. Murong Ling jumped off the horse and took away the baggage: "Old Huang, he can't keep it if you give it to him. He might be stolen and snatched away halfway, but I should keep it, so it's okay.
He bribed me.”
Meng Crow shouted: "I'm talking about Murong, why did you become a corrupt official as soon as you became an official? This is what Lao Huang gave me, and I still want to settle down."
Murong Ling laughed loudly: "Why are you pretending? In the end, you don't want it anymore, take it! Hurry up and eat meat and drink wine!"
Huang Banxian poured the wine and Meng Wuwu cut the meat. Meng Wuwu looked at Gui Niang and said, "Gui Niang, you should also eat some meat. This time, Lao Huang is very willing to buy so much meat."
Gui Niang timidly waved her hand beside the car: "My late husband has only been away for a few months, how can I eat meat?"
Li Xiaofei took a piece of meat and walked over: "Eat it, your husband doesn't want you to become like this. You are only skin and bones. How can you not eat meat?"
Guiniang still refused to accept the meat, so Li Xiaofei tried to persuade her again: "I know you are very conservative in women's conduct, but it has nothing to do with whether you eat meat or not. You are kind-hearted, and we all know that, eat it quickly."
Meng Wuwu also came over with meat to coax Guiniang: "I just went to see your late husband with you. The feng shui of his place is very good. You don't have to worry about eating and drinking. You can't starve."
Gui Niang lowered her head and said nothing. Murong Ling came over and forced the meat into Gui Niang's hand: "Eat it quickly. If you don't eat it, I will order the prefect of Shouxian County to dig out your deceased husband and punish him!"
Everyone was shocked, but Gui Niang quickly picked up the meat and said, "Master Taishi, I beg you not to do this. I just eat meat, I will eat it!"
Murong Ling glanced at Li Xiaofei: "Do you think I'm quite bad? This is called using thunderbolt means to do benevolent things."
Li Xiaofei picked up the wine and said, "It seems that Grand Master Murong is not only extremely skilled in martial arts, but in this way, together we can't even catch up half as well as you. I have to study hard."
Murong Ling drank the wine in one gulp: "Okay, either pay the tuition or kneel down and become a disciple."
Everyone laughed together, and after drinking three bowls of wine, Huang Banxian handed everyone goodbye and turned to leave.
Li Xiaofei looked at Huang Banxian's back: "Now that I'm gone, I don't know if we can all be reunited next time we come back."
Murong Ling rode forward: "Once you have practiced the three life-saving moves, you can go anywhere!"
After several days of walking, they arrived in Luoyang to see Liu Jian. Liu Jian was overjoyed. Since he had been deposed as the crown prince, except for Chen Hongyi who sent someone to see him, he was already in a deserted state.
Xiao Qian also gave birth to a big fat boy. She and Zhu Xuehua coaxed the little prince all day long and didn't see many outsiders. When they saw Li Xiaofei and Murong Ling arriving, they were very happy. After all, the Xiao family didn't send many people to visit.
She did.
Zhu Xuehua became excited when she saw Murong Ling holding the little prince: "You look like a gentleman. You have a child only a few months ago. Are you worthy of me?" She cried and wanted to beat Murong Ling.
.
Murong Ling sneered: "How come you are so stupid? I have only been out for a few months. How can I have such a nearly one-year-old child? This is the current prince. This grand master specially brought him back from Jinling."
Zhu Xuehua looked at Li Xiaofei, who nodded: "You should believe Brother Murong's character. He is indeed the young prince, and he has a jade certificate on his body!"
Liu Jian also ran over: "Brother Murong, this grand master is the best in history. He just took the prince with him, haha."
Li Xiaofei also joked: "Your Majesty, I think Grand Master Murong wants to put the young prince here with you."
Murong Ling said seriously: "I have this intention. Only with the prince is it safe."
Liu Jian was about to take over, but Xiao Qian became nervous: "What's going on with this useless prince raising the prince? If something happens to the prince, will your prince still survive?"
Murong smiled: "I will protect the deposed prince and the new prince. What are you afraid of if you have me?"
Liu Jian smiled: "It is natural to have Murong, the best in the world, sitting in charge."
Murong Ling hugged Zhu Xuehua: "But I will go to Chang'an in a few days."
Xiao Qian looked troubled, but Liu Jian's eyes lit up: "I will take good care of this little prince, not to mention that there will probably be another prince in Jinling City. Mr. Murong's shocking behavior has already been known to the whole world."
Murong Ling smiled: "It's okay, I will bring one back if they build one. The prince will just build the palace bigger."
Li Xiaofei punched Murong Ling: "You are too crazy."
