In Yanjing, the small house in the Li family cemetery, the dim light was on.

Since Li Yishan became a monk, Gongsun Minyi died with hatred, and Li Shaobai also left the country, the huge Li family, only Li Yuanzhuo was left alone, guarding the empty residence and touching the scene, so Li Yuanzhuo moved to the Li family cemetery.

Every nightfall, Li Yuanzhuo feels even more lonely, he always sits in front of the window and is distracted, sometimes sitting all night. The once majestic old man no longer exists, and in just a few months, so many great changes have taken place, which has made him just a dying old man.

"Master, Mr. Tang has come to see you. ”

There is an old servant in the Li family cemetery, and the Li family calls him Xingbo.

Xingbo is not good at talking, only when he sees Li Yuanzhuo, it is possible to hear him speak, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time seems to be doing some labor to take care of the Li family cemetery.

There are many people who don't remember when Xingbo came to the Li family, and invisibly Xingbo has become an indispensable manager of the Li family cemetery.

Only Li Yuanzhuo remembered that on a rainy night more than ten years ago, he found Xingbo who was highly poisoned at the gate of the Li family cemetery, and saved Xingbo. Although Li Yuanzhuo's lover later helped Xingbo resolve the poison, he still ruined half of Xingbo's face, which is why Xingbo deliberately covered half of his face with white hair.

"Tang Zu?" Li Yuanzhuo came back to his senses and was slightly stunned.

Before Li Yuanzhuo could decide to see Tang Zu, Tang Zu had already stepped into the door.

The recent great changes in the Li family have made Li Yuanzhuo feel a kind of despair, but he knows that he can't fall, otherwise the Li family will really be completely finished.

And the Tang family is now able to sit on an equal footing with the Long family, the head of the eight major families, no matter how much Li Yuanzhuo doesn't want to see Tang Zu, he is pretending to be enthusiastic.

"Mr. Tang, a rare guest. Li Yuanzhuo didn't get up, but just gestured for Tang Zu to sit down.

Yes, the Tang family is far more noble than the Li family, but Li Yuanzhuo is the elder of Tang Zu, and no matter what, there is no reason for him to pour tea and water for Tang Zu.

After Xingbo poured a cup of tea for Tang Zu, he turned around and went out.

Tang Zu's gaze stayed on Xingbo's back until Xingbo was gone, then he took it back, and said with a smile: "Old Li, I didn't expect that in this Li family cemetery, there is such a hermit master. ”

Li Yuanzhuo had a bitter look on his face and said, "Mr. Tang said with a smile, where is Xingbo a hermit master, but he is just a poor person who is homeless and taken in by me." ”

Although Xingbo has never shown his martial arts skills in front of Li Yuanzhuo, Li Yuanzhuo can also see that Xingbo is not an extraordinary person, but he is not a master as Tang Zu said.

Otherwise, with Xingbo's loyalty to the Li family, so many great changes have occurred in the Li family, and Xingbo would not have been indifferent until now.

Tang Zu smiled and tasted the fragrant tea, "Old Li, you are becoming more and more polite to me, in front of you, where am I qualified to be called Mr. Tang by you, you still call me Xiao Tang." ”

"Mr. Tang said with a smile, with the current Li family, you can still think about me, this old man, it has already made me very flattered, I am grateful to Dade, and it is right to call Mr. Tang. Li Yuanzhuo said.

"Hehe! It seems that Elder Li is still angry with me!"

"What do you mean by Mr. Tang?"

"Old Li blamed me for helping Pei Xueke again and again, and even did not hesitate to quarrel with the Li family. I came today, there are two things, one of which is for this, and I will also give Li Lao an answer. ”

Li Yuanzhuo was silent, yes, he is still very puzzled, why Tang Zu has repeatedly protected Pei Xueke.

He originally thought that through Pei Xueke, he could get closer to the relationship between the Tang family and the Li family, but the final development did not meet people's wishes, and now many people in the outside world are falling into the hole for the Li family, and the Tang family seems to have been standing by and watching. Therefore, Li Yuanzhuo's heart still has some complaints about Tang Zu.

"Li Lao must have heard of the four major families that arose during the Republic of China, right? Don't hide it from Li Lao, the Tang family can have today completely because of the support of one of the families, and that family is the Xiahou family! I think if Li Lao were me, I wouldn't have watched my benefactor's daughter being bullied, and stood by and sat idly by, right?!"

Li Yuanzhuo was taken aback, looked at Tang Zu in disbelief, and said after a while: "Could it be that Pei Xueke is a descendant of the Xiahou family?!"

Seeing Tang Zu nodding, Li Yuanzhuo immediately let out a wry smile, he laughed at himself, laughing at himself at the beginning, for the sake of the family's interests, he turned a blind eye to Gongsun Minyi to break up Li Yishan and Pei Xueke, and acquiesced to Li Yishan and Gongsun Minyi tying the knot.

can be calculated, but I never expected that Pei Xueke was not from an ordinary family, but was actually a descendant of the Xiahou family.

If none of this had happened, or when it was about to happen, he didn't open one eye or close one eye, but stepped forward in time to stop it, relying on the Xiahou family, maybe the Li family would have replaced the Long family now, what a mistake would have turned into a thousand hatreds!

Li Yuanzhuo was right, the four major families of Yanjing seem to have declined, but in fact, they are not, just like Xiahou Yuan, but they are just hidden. Either don't move, or a move will inevitably make the whole of China change and shake the sky.

Sure enough, Tang Zu said again: "The last time Xiahou's predecessors came back, if it weren't for Pei Xueke's efforts to protect the Li family, I'm afraid that the Li family would no longer exist in the world now!"

Li Yuanzhuo's heart sank, although it had been so long, he still couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

"I wonder what Mr. Tang's second thing is?" asked Li Yuanzhuo.

"Li Bad's son was born, named Li Fan, saying that his life is ordinary, who can guarantee that his life is not extraordinary? So there is no need for Li Lao to be so depressed, with Li Bad, the Li family will not decline!" Tang Zu said.

When Li Yuanzhuo heard this, he was still very excited, but when he thought that Li Bad had already stated that he had broken off with the Li family and had nothing to do with it, he regretted it again in his heart, and said with a wry smile in his eyes: "He doesn't want to be a member of the Li family." ”

"Old Li, you are wrong, if you don't believe it, I dare to guarantee that if the Li family encounters any danger in the future, he will definitely be the first to rush out!"

Li Yuanzhuo was slightly stunned and asked, "...... is this?"

"The invitation card was specially sent to you by Li Bad. ”

Li Yuanzhuo took the invitation with trembling hands, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, Li Bad's name was written on it. He counted his life more than once, counting the days of Liu Xiangli's birth, but he never expected Li Bad to send him an invitation.

"I'll go, I'll go!"

Tang Zu looked at this old man who was choked up several times, and he couldn't bear it.

spent his life only for the honor of his family, but in the end he ended up alone, which is really pitiful.
