Guiyi Lane.
Meng Wenhao tried to persuade his father but to no avail. He could only pray that his mother would come back in the afternoon and persuade his father. After letting his imagination run wild for a while, he became more and more frustrated. After bidding farewell to his father, Meng Wenhao went out.
Looking at the busy pedestrians on the street, Meng Wenhao was a little confused. As the saying goes, the world is full of people who come for profit. Most of the people in front of him were rushing to earn money. What was he doing?
"Eh? Isn't this Meng Wenhao? Where are you going?! "
Suddenly, a voice came to his ear. Meng Wenhao found it familiar. He turned around and saw Wang Meng walking towards him.
"Wang Meng? Where are you going? "
"To the workshop of the Strange Interest Pavilion! Wenhao, didn't you read today's newspaper? Datang Daily can reward now. Mr. Li alone rewarded 'The Legend of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality' with 1,000 strings of cash and became the first Gold Alliance Leader. How impressive. I, Wang Meng, may not be rich, but I can still squeeze out 10 strings of cash and become a leader! "
"What reward? What Alliance Leader? What is Wang Meng talking about? "
Meng Wenhao was confused. He had no idea what Wang Meng was talking about.
"Here, take a look for yourself!"
Wang Meng took out today's newspaper and handed it to Meng Wenhao. He pointed at the last few paragraphs of the newspaper.
Meng Wenhao only understood after reading it. His first reaction was to break down. He didn't expect Li Zexuan to write a novel in private. He even had the cheek to reward himself! How shameless must he be to do such a thing!
"What's wrong? You must be shocked by Mr. Li's generosity, right? Haha! "
Wang Meng looked at Meng Wenhao's twitching face and thought that he was too shocked.
Meng Wenhao almost vomited blood. He quickly nodded and pretended to be shocked. "Yes, yes, yes. I was indeed shocked."
"Hehe, then take your time to be shocked. I'll take my leave first!"
Wang Meng gave Meng Wenhao a look that said, "I've been there before, so I understand." He patted Meng Wenhao's shoulder, turned around, and ran away.
"Hey, Wang Meng, your newspaper!"
"Forget it, it's fine! Wenhao, take it first! "
.....
Meng Wenhao shook his head helplessly. The gloominess in his heart had been diluted by the news he had just received. He had not expected his teacher to be so capricious and unconventional.
Since he had nothing to do, he sat down on the pier of the bridge not far away and flipped through the newspaper. Naturally, he also saw the headlines today. He saw the news that the imperial court was recruiting trade caravans from the people to follow the army to the small Nanyang country to trade.
"So this is actually true! The Imperial Court's navy is really going south with them! "
Meng Wenhao muttered to himself. He had thought that his father was just trying to comfort him when he said that the imperial army would come along. He didn't expect it to be true. At this moment, he was slightly relieved. From this piece of news, he understood why Boss Feng suddenly decided to go out to sea. It was all because of this decree issued by the Imperial Court!
But why would the imperial court make such a big move at this time to go south to exchange grain? Would there be a change in the grain supply of the Great Tang in the future?
The intelligent Meng Wenhao soon thought of the deeper reason behind this decree. However, he was only guessing and could not be sure.
.....
Li Residence.
Li Zexuan was not idle at this moment. There were big shots coming to his house today.
They were Qin Shubao and Li Xiaogong.
To the people, the decree issued by Li Er to go south to exchange grain was very sudden and very puzzling. The highest commander of this decree was Li Xiaogong. As a member of the Li Tang Empire and Li Er's trusted right-hand man, Li Xiaogong was of course one of the few people who knew the real reason for this military operation.
It was because he knew that he had to come personally to see Li Zexuan. There were some things he needed to ask in person. However, he had never interacted with Li Zexuan before. It was very awkward for him to suddenly visit, so he asked Qin Qiong to be the middleman.
"Uncle Qin, you're here. This is?"
Li Zexuan, who had just practiced swordsmanship in the West Courtyard, was told by San Bao that Qin Qiong was here. He quickly wiped his sweat and tidied his clothes. When he came to the front hall, he saw that there was someone else.
"Hehe, Xiaoxuan, this is Prince Hejian. He is the highest commander of the twenty thousand navy going to Nanyang. Come and greet him!"
Qin Qiong stood up and smiled.
Li Zexuan was shocked. Previously, Li Tai had told him that the navy this time was led by Li Xiaogong. However, he did not expect to see him in person so soon. This Li Xiaogong was amazing. He would be one of the twenty-four meritorious officials of the Lingyan Pavilion in the future. Moreover, he would be ranked second, second only to Zhangsun Wuji.
Li Xiaogong's grandfather, Li Wei, was Li Hu's seventh son. Li Er's grandfather, Li Wei, was Li Hu's third son. He was also Li Er's cousin. Looking at the Li Tang Empire, Li Xiaogong was considered a rather accomplished person. He was humble and did not claim credit, nor did he take power. He had a noble character and did not even want a big house. He was just a little … lecherous. It was said that there were more than a hundred singers and dancers in his back room. However, they did not steal or rob, so it was not a big problem!
"Greetings, Prince!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and bowed to the vigorous and ruddy man in front of him.
"Haha, rise! Kid, you just finished practicing swordsmanship, right? This Prince can still feel sword intent from your body! "
Li Zexuan was sizing up Li Zexuan, but Li Xiaogong was also sizing up Li Zexuan. He narrowed his eyes and felt the sword intent that Li Zexuan had just finished practicing swordsmanship. Li Xiaogong's pupils shrank, and he laughed boldly and asked.
"Prince's eyes are as sharp as torches. This kid admires you!"
Li Zexuan was slightly surprised. He did not expect to meet an expert. He could not see through Li Xiaogong's realm for a while because Li Xiaogong's blood Qi was dozens of times more vigorous than Qin Qiong's. He had probably entered the Grandmaster Realm many years ago! What a monster. This Li Xiaogong looked to be in his thirties!
"Haha, not bad, not bad! Kid, your sword intent is pure and sharp. It is rare for someone your age! However, you still need to practice diligently. Your sword intent is too sharp. You must know that when it reaches its peak, it will decline. You must learn to control your sword intent and restrain it! Recently, this old man has heard that you have been fiddling with a lot of strange things. You are really not doing your job! How can the heart of martial arts not be calm? Kid, you have such a good foundation. How can you neglect your martial arts? "
Li Xiaogong put down his teacup, stood up, and patted Li Zexuan's shoulder as he said earnestly.
Li Zexuan was speechless. Li Xiaogong was complaining that he had been causing too much trouble recently and was not doing his job! But now, he had forgotten what his real job was! Teaching, or practicing martial arts?
However, Li Xiaogong's theory made Li Zexuan feel enlightened. When he came to this world, his master was already gone. These few months of practicing martial arts were completely based on the memories of his predecessor. He lacked the guidance of a master!
