Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mighty Tiger of the Heavens
The next day, Dehua City was shrouded in a blanket of snow, heavy snow, and the wind had stopped.
The sky above Nadehua City was still gray, and it seemed that a bigger snowstorm was still brewing.
In Dehua City, Chen Mansion, in a guest room, Ye Yinfeng had been in a coma and slept all night. Li Xiaoyao quietly looked at Ye Yinfeng who was lying on the bed, and he still didn't seem to be waking up. But the breathing became more even and powerful. The wounds on his body have been treated, and the white gauze on his left hand and left shoulder is still oozing blood.
Li Xiaoyao walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and his expression looked very solemn. He looked at Ye Yinfeng lying on the bed from time to time, although he was anxious, he couldn't do anything.
At this time, there was a "creak", and the door of the guest room opened, and a Taoist priest walked in, holding a small porcelain bottle containing pills in his hand. He probed Ye Yinfeng's snort last time, and then took his pulse again. His furrowed brows widened, and he let out a long breath.
Seeing that this Taoist priest was dressed in gossip clothes, his head was tied with a purple yang scarf, and he saw that he was slender, with phoenix eyes and eyebrows, and his demeanor was elegant. This Taoist priest is the Taoist priest that Ye Yinfeng saw in Chen's Mansion, a Taoist priest from Lushan Qingxuguan who came to Chen's Mansion to do things.
The Taoist priest walked towards Li Xiaoyao and said softly: "Uncle Shi, this Ye Xiaoyou is no longer in trouble, and the poison in his body has been removed." At this time, he was in a state of collapse, so he was unconscious for a while. There was a great deal of respect in his tone.
Li Xiaoyao waved his wide robe and said, "Are you sure that the poison of his physical strength has been removed?" ”
"Sure, that Ye Xiaoyou breathes evenly, and his pulse is calm, obviously he has cleared the toxins in his body." The Taoist priest replied respectfully.
"Mingyang, although I am not sure if he is the disciple that my uncle Yuchenzi privately accepted, I have detected from his body that there is Tai Halal Qi belonging to my Taoist. There are not many people in my Dao Sect who practice this Taiqing Technique, and so far I only know that my uncle has cultivated this technique. It's just that my uncle has been missing for many days, and you have time to arrange for someone to go to the Sanqingguan. I suspect that something bad may happen to my uncle Yuchenzi, and if the two hometowns of Sanqingguan are playing ghosts, I will not spare them. Li Xiaoyao swept away his usual hip-hop attitude, and he said to the Mingyang Daoist with a straight face.
"Mingyang understands and will arrange it." Mingyang Daoren responded.
"Okay, you go get busy." Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and sent the Mingyang Daoist away.
After the Mingyang Daoist saluted him, he was about to leave the room.
"Wait a minute, you call Chen Shounian and Li Congjia to come." Li Xiaoyao suddenly commanded again.
Mingyang Daoist replied and exited the room.
At this time, the sky outside was already bright, and the gray sky was condensed with dark clouds, although there were no snowflakes falling, but it made people feel more depressed.
Li Xiaoyao listened to the sound of children frolicking outside the window, and saw a white expanse outside the window, the branches were covered with ice crystals, and the earth was covered with silver outside, and the heaven and earth were connected into a line, and on the branches, the ice crystals hanging under the eaves were like a string of crystal jewels dotting the white world.
It was the first snow of the year in Dehua City, and people walked out of their houses. Looking at the snow piled up all over the city, I couldn't help but let out a cry of amazement. No one would pay attention to the dark clouds condensing in the gray sky, they were only startled by the current view. Groups of literati and scholars gathered together in pairs, admiring the beautiful snow, and writing poems at the same time. The children frolic in the snowdrifts, completely forgetting the cold and the hunger.
It's a picturesque scenery covered by thousands of miles of snow.
Li Xiaoyao looked at the snow scene outside the window in a daze, and there was a rush of footsteps outside his room. Moments later, there was a knock on the door outside his room. He woke up in a daze, he stepped forward to open the door, but saw Chen Shounian, the lord of the Chen Mansion, and Li Congjia, the king of Anding County, stepping on this thick white snow, came to his door, but the Mingyang Daoist did not come together.
He opened the door and welcomed Chen Shounian and Li Congjia outside, Chen Shounian seemed to know his other identity from Li Congjia's mouth, the uncle of the king of Anding County, the thirteenth brother of the Southern Tang Emperor. So Chen Shounian was more restrained after entering, he wanted to go up and give Li Xiaoyao a salute, but he didn't know how to call him for a while, and he stood in the room embarrassed for a while and didn't know what to do.
For Li Xiaoyao, Chen Shounian really doesn't know what to call him. At first, he came to this Chen Mansion with the Mingyang Taoist of Lushan Mountain, and he seemed to see that the Mingyang Taoist respected him very much. He didn't care, he just ordered the subordinates of the Chen Mansion to entertain the fat Taoist. Later, he saw Li Congjia and met him in front of the Chen Mansion, so he inquired about the king of Anding. Who knew that when he inquired, he was immediately startled, this fat Taoist priest was actually the uncle of the king of Anding, the thirteenth son of the emperor.
Chen Shounian was very embarrassed, and it was not appropriate to call him the prince, because Li Xiaoyao had not been canonized. Call him Taoist, after all, Li Xiaoyao is also a member of the royal family. At that time, he was not very clear about the secrets of this royal family, he only knew that Li Xiaoyao was the thirteenth son of the Tang Emperor. It seems to be another history of the palace, but this Li Xiaoyao was sent out of the palace when he was three or four years old. He didn't know exactly where it was delivered, and after that, he also left Jinling and was in charge of the establishment of the capital in Hongzhou, and he never heard any news about the thirteen sons of the former emperor after that.
Li Congjia didn't seem to be so restrained, the little fat man naturally walked up to Li Xiaoyao and said, "Uncle Xiaohuang, what's the important matter when you come to me and Lord Chen this time?" At this time, he found that there was someone on Li Xiaoyao's bed, but he didn't see what the face of the person on the bed was, and he immediately looked at Li Xiaoyao with strange eyes.
Li Xiaoyao seemed to understand the meaning in the other party's eyes, and immediately became angry, jumped up and raised his hand to knock on the little fat man's head for a while, until the little fat man hugged his head and ran away, and couldn't stop hiding behind Chen Shounian. And Chen Shounian was caught between them with a wry smile, so he had to help no one, and he was also very curious about who was lying on the fat Taoist bed.
The little fat man Taoist Li Xiaoyao pointed at the little fat man Li Congjia and shouted angrily: "Okay, you little sixth son, what kind of dirty thoughts are in your plastic bag, you go up and take a look yourself, and see who the person lying on the bed is." ”
Li Congjia trembled and walked away from behind Chen Shounian and walked towards the bed, while being vigilant from time to time to prevent Li Xiaoyao from suddenly attacking him. He walked to the bed, lifted the futon and looked at it, only to see a handsome and pale face appear in front of him, the man had his eyes closed, as if he was seriously injured and was in a coma.
"It's him." , Li Congjia was shocked in his heart, and whispered: "How could it be him, who is so ruthless, could it be that splash." This person is the young man surnamed Ye who saved him yesterday, he immediately suspected that it was the poisonous hand of the ploppy Li Er Mazi, so he glanced at the fat Taoist priest suspiciously, as if he wanted to ask something but did not speak.
Li Xiaoyao seemed to know what the fat man was thinking, he "snorted", and Li Congjia shrank his neck again, showing a stupid smile, but he didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Chen Shounian also felt strange, he also walked to the side of the bed curiously, and after seeing the faces of the people on the bed, he was also taken aback, isn't this the young man who was chosen by Mingyang Dao, how could he be here, and he felt very seriously injured, and there were still patches of blood on the placket.
"I asked you to come here to explain some things to you", Li Xiaoyao saw that the two of them had seen the faces of the people on the bed, and said leisurely, with supreme majesty in his tone, he looked at Chen Shounian and Li Congjia, and then said: "The person lying on the bed, you must also know, as for his identity, you are not convenient to know for the time being, as for why he was injured, you don't need to know." Recently, Xiao Liuzi has stayed in this Chen Mansion well, and Lord Chen must strengthen his vigilance to ensure the safety of Xiao Liuzi. As for this young man who will recuperate in the Chen Mansion for some time, you must keep it a secret, only we and others will know about it, and no one else will know about it. Otherwise, it will bring ruin to this Chen Mansion. You'll see for yourself the rest. ”
After Chen Shounian listened to Li Xiaoyao's words, he looked at Li Congjia suspiciously, hoping to get instructions from the other party. Seeing this, Li Congjia frowned unhappily, and then understood again. After all, Li Xiaoyao's identity is more delicate, he is not a person in the palace now, and he has no right to order the officials under his rule. He waved his hand and said, "Just do it according to him", with an invisible majesty in his words, sweeping away the usual cowardice performance.
Li Xiaoyao confessed some inconsequential things.
At this time, there was another knock on the door outside the guest room, and Li Xiaoyao turned his gaze to Chen Shounian, meaning that Chen Shounian would deal with it himself, Chen Shounian said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
"Master, three middle-aged men from outside came with a 156-year-old boy to visit the little chief, saying that they were friends with the little chief." The voice of a subordinate of Chen's house came from outside.
"This ???????" Chen Shounian looked at Li Xiaoyao again, waiting for the other party to make a decision. Li Xiaoyao heard the words coming from the Chen Mansion outside and pondered for a while.
"Lord Chen, go and bring them in here, those people are friends of Bendao, and Xiao Liuzi stays." He commanded, at this moment he had already guessed who those people were, the three protectors of Haotian Sect had all gathered, interesting. Those three middle-aged people must be the three protectors of Haotian Sect, Tong Cangtai, Wen Canghai and Long Canghao, but there is still a teenager, who will it be.
After Chen Shounian exited the guest room, Li Congjia returned to his usual appearance, he put his arm around Li Xiaoyao's shoulders and said, "Uncle, when will you teach me peerless magic skills, so that I will not be bullied by bad people." Li Congjia is not very afraid of this uncle who is younger than himself, and they have been playing together since childhood. Among the many royal relatives, he is also the closest to this uncle. Although this thirteenth uncle often bullied him, he didn't have any complaints. After Li Xiaoyao was sent to the palace, he would occasionally return to the palace every three or four years to get along and play with him.
"As long as you also want to learn peerless magic skills, you see how fat you have become." Li Xiaoyao hit the other party with contemptuous eyes, and his mouth kept making a "tsk" sound.
"What's wrong with being fat, aren't you also fat, why can't I learn if you can learn," Li Congjia was completely enraged by the fat Taoist priest's contempt, and he immediately shouted.
"Be quiet, you can't do it. I still have patients here. Li Xiaoyao saw him making such a loud noise, immediately stopped him, and then said: "Don't you claim to be the first genius of the Tang Dynasty, you are all good at writing poems and lyrics, why do you still learn this." ”
As soon as he heard Li Xiaoyao praise him as the first genius of the Tang Dynasty, his face suddenly turned gloomy, as if he had changed a person, Li Congjia said proudly: "That is, the king of this county is my first genius in the Tang Dynasty, do you still need to learn that." ”
