Chapter 875: Suspicious Monk

After the first auction, Li Xiu also gave himself a few days off, and concentrated on staying at home with his wife and children, especially Princess Pingyang had just given birth, and the youngest son Li Luo was only a few months, but Li Xiu had no time to accompany their mother and son, and now his son is about to recognize people, but he is very unfamiliar with Li Xiu, every time he hugs the little guy, he cries, after all, he is not at home every day, and he doesn't even see his son's face, and the little guy naturally doesn't know him.

This morning, Li Xiu hugged his son Li Luo to the garden to bask in the sun, after these few days of getting along, the little guy finally got to know him, at least he no longer cried when he hugged him, but even so, every time Li Xiu hugged the child, the nurse next to him must follow, otherwise the little guy will definitely cry after a while.

"Call Daddy!" Li Xiu stretched out his finger and pointed at the little guy's chubby cheek and said, although he knew that the little guy couldn't speak, but as a parent, he always liked to do this kind of seemingly meaningless thing.

"Da Da~" The little guy's mouth made a series of meaningless sounds, but the little hand suddenly grabbed Li Xiu's fingers and didn't let go, and the momentum was not small, when Li Xiu pulled back, the little guy laughed "giggle~" instead, and pulled harder to his side, as if he was playing tug-of-war with Li Xiu.

Seeing the little guy so cute, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel the overflow of fatherly love in his heart, speaking of which, he is now in his prime, and he is relatively mature in his psychological age, and he also attaches great importance to the family, but some time ago, because he was busy with financial supervision, he neglected to take care of the family.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little self-blame, and secretly decided in his heart at the moment that no matter how busy he was in the future, he would take time out to accompany his family when he came back, especially the children at home, whose growth must not lack the care of his father.

"Ahh But at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly felt a sudden pain in his fingers, and immediately made him scream, only to find out that the little guy actually stuffed his fingers into his mouth, and now he was biting desperately, although he had not grown teeth, but he still bit very painfully.

"Stinky boy, how did you learn to bite, I have to spank your ass in the future!" Li Xiu finally pulled his fingers out of Li Luo's mouth, and said while blowing at the moment, his fingers were bitten red by the little guy.

The little guy naturally didn't understand Li Xiu's threat, but laughed again, and then stretched out his little hand to grab Li Xiu's fingers, it seemed that he still wanted to bite, but Li Xiu wouldn't let him succeed this time, but in the end, the little guy actually stuffed his hand into his mouth, which made Li Xiu startled, and just wanted to stop the little guy, but when he saw the little guy unceremoniously biting him, he immediately cried out with a "wow~".

Seeing his son so stupid and cute, Li Xiu couldn't help but shake helplessly, and tried to coax the child at the moment, but unfortunately the little guy didn't give him the slightest face at all, but cried more and more, and finally Li Xiu had no choice but to hand over the child to the nurse, but after a while, the little guy stopped crying, and fell asleep.

The little guy slept very soundly, Li Xiu could only let the nurse carry him back to sleep, and he himself went to the school at home, ready to check the learning situation of these children at home, during this time he was often not at home, naturally there was no way to teach the children to learn, fortunately, Qi Niang and Yu Niang are both big girls, and they can usually replace Li Xiu in class.

However, Li Xiu arrived at the school and found that Qi Niang and they were not there, and only after asking the next person did he know that Qi Niang took a group of children to Nanshan today, saying that it was to let the children see the natural scenery, but with Li Xiu's understanding of Qi Niang, she must have wanted to go to Nanshan to play, so she found this excuse, and now she may be taking the children to barbecue in her own Nanshan courtyard.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, last time he used a multi-body and a steam engine to temporarily cheer up Qi Niang, some time ago the multi-hull ship had been designed, and then sent to the shipbuilding workshop in the south to build, as for the steam engine Qi Niang had no clue, after all, this is not her forte, originally Li Xiu promised to help, but during this time he really couldn't get out, so Qi Niang also complained to him.

"Sir!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw a maid hurriedly coming over, and when she saw Li Xiu, she immediately made a salute and reported, "Xu Duwei in the front yard said that he found a suspicious person around the mansion, so he wanted to report to the master in person." ”

"Oh? A suspicious person? Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, Xu Duwei was one of the head of the guards in his mansion, mainly responsible for the security of the periphery of the mansion, after all, Li Xiu was an important minister of the imperial court, and there were naturally guards in the mansion, but with Xu Duwei's identity, even if he found a suspicious person, he could deal with it himself, and he couldn't report himself at all, unless this suspicious person was very special.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a somewhat solemn expression, and immediately walked to the hall in the front yard, only to see a middle-aged general in armor sitting there in the hall, and saw Li Xiu also hurriedly stood up and saluted: "The last general will see the horse!" ”

Xu Duwei is in his early forties this year, and he is at the peak of a man, with a very burly and tall figure, a square face, a black face, and a beard, and he looks a little similar to Wei Chigong. Xu Duwei is not only an old man in the women's army, but also a member of Li Yuan's family, when Princess Pingyang fled from Chang'an, he was one of the guards to protect Princess Pingyang, so he was also deeply trusted by Princess Pingyang and Ma Ye, and served as the head of the guard of Princess Pingyang's Mansion many years ago.

"Xu Duwei doesn't have to be polite, I heard that you found a suspicious person nearby, I don't know who the other party is, and you want to report it in person?" Li Xiu also asked Du Wei Xu to sit down at the moment, and then immediately asked straight to the point.

"Qi Yu Horse, just three days ago, the people under the last general found that there was a suspicious monk nearby, originally the last general wanted to drive the other party away, after all, although the other party was suspicious, but he didn't do anything to endanger the house, but I didn't expect to catch up a few times, but the other party still refused to leave, for example, it came again today, I don't know what to do, so I came to ask the horse!" When Xu Duwei said the end, he couldn't help but show a distressed look.

"Monk?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, the Monk Daolu Division was originally established at his suggestion, so almost no monk in the world did not hate him, although Li Xiu didn't care about this, but for the sake of safety, he had already ordered the mansion to pay more attention to safety, and Xu Duwei also knew this, so he paid special attention to the monk, not to mention that the monk outside the mansion was indeed a little suspicious, and he couldn't even drive away.
