After dealing with the Bearded Guest, Li Zexuan went home and planned to take an afternoon nap. However, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't fall asleep no matter what. What was the Bearded Guest's purpose in coming to Cloud Mountain?
Li Zexuan wouldn't believe that this old fellow was here to give him pointers on martial arts and help him break through! There was no such thing as love for no reason in this world!
Moreover, from what Li Jing said, the Bearded Guest had always been active overseas. Why did he suddenly come to Chang 'an? Could it be that he came back with the imperial court's fleet?
But that didn't make sense. He was a pirate leader. Why would he mix with the imperial court's army? Wasn't he walking right into a trap?
Li Zexuan suddenly felt a headache coming on at the thought of this.
"Hubby, you're not asleep yet?"
At some point, Han Yuxi walked in from outside. As the future matriarch of this family, she wouldn't sleep in at this hour!
"Yes, there are some questions that I can't figure out! Wife, come and talk to your husband for a while! "
Since he couldn't figure it out, Li Zexuan simply sat up from the bed and said to Han Yuxi.
Han Yuxi smiled, walked to the bedside, and sat down. She said, "Hubby, what can't you figure out?"
"Sigh, I'm thinking about what Zhang Zhongjian's intentions are in coming to Cloud Mountain today. I was only focused on beating him up earlier. When I wanted to ask him, Auntie Hong Fu came over again! "
Li Zexuan hugged his wife's slender waist and said regretfully.
"Pfft ~!"
Han Yuxi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She said, "I met Auntie Hong Fu at the entrance of the academy earlier. She looked very angry and said a lot of bad things about Hubby to me!"
"Uh …"
Li Zexuan touched his nose embarrassedly and said speechlessly, "You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame the Bearded Guest for being too barbaric! Can't he just talk nicely? "
Han Yuxi calmed herself down before getting to the point. "I've heard of that senior. He was sworn brothers with Granduncle and Grandaunt a few years ago. After that, he went to the sea to roam freely. I heard that although he's a ferocious person, he's very principled in his dealings. He only snatches merchant ships from other countries at sea. Not only does he not snatch merchant ships from our Great Tang, he even helps us when we're in danger!
Such a person is definitely not an evil person. Since he came to Cloud Mountain to look for you today, he must have a serious matter. As for what it is, he did not have the time to say it. He will definitely come again in the future. You will know his purpose when he comes. Why do you need to think about it? "
Li Zexuan thought about it seriously, then nodded and said, "Yes, what my wife said makes sense! She is the female Zhuge of the present age! "
Han Yuxi said angrily, "Husband, you're talking nonsense again. I'm just a bystander!"
"Hahaha!"
…
Li Zexuan had planned to go to the workshop in the afternoon to teach Faubert and the others the next step of the rubber regeneration and molding process. However, such a big thing happened at the last minute, and the original plan was definitely ruined.
He ordered someone to pass a message to the workshop to let Faubert and the others continue to refine the rubber latex in the workshop warehouse. Li Zexuan stayed in the courtyard to consolidate his martial arts realm. He had just broken through to the Middle-stage of Grandmaster, and his realm was still very unstable. If he slipped back because of slacking off, he would have no place to cry!
At dusk, in the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is the secret memorial from Commandery Prince Hejian!"
Li Er was flipping through the account books submitted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs when Zhao Song walked over quietly with a booklet in his hand and said softly.
"Xiaogong?"
Li Er raised his head and muttered in confusion. Then he said, "Present it to me!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Song handed the memorial to Li Er. Li Er took it and began to read it carefully.
After a while, he closed the memorial, stood up, and walked down.
"How is Yunshan now? Did the Pharmacist go and take Zhang Zhongjian away? "
Li Er asked with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, the battle on Yunshan has been settled. Duke Wei and his wife went to Yunshan personally after receiving the news and brought Zhang Zhongjian, who was covered in injuries, back to the residence!"
Zhao Song bowed and replied.
"Covered in injuries?"
Li Er was surprised when he heard that. "Then what about Li Zexuan?"
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yong 'an is unharmed!"
Seeing the surprise on Li Er's face, Zhao Song did not dare to keep him in suspense and quickly explained.
"According to the report, when Zhang Zhongjian was fighting with the Marquis of Yong 'an, Mo Huai, the master of the Mo Family, rushed to help. His realm was actually at the peak of Grandmaster! The Marquis of Yong 'an broke through and entered the Middle-stage of Grandmaster. He joined forces with the master of the Mo Family to fight against Zhang Zhongjian. One attacked and one defended, and Zhang Zhongjian was beaten to the point that he could not fight back! When Duke Wei and his wife arrived, Zhang Zhongjian was already beaten beyond recognition! "
Li Er, who had always been calm in the face of changes, was surprised when he heard that. "He broke through again? What kind of freak is this kid? He broke through two realms in a year. Was he born to be a martial artist? "
It was no wonder that Li Er was surprised. The strength of a Middle-stage Grandmaster was already at the threshold of becoming a famous general. The number of generals in Great Tang who had reached this level could be counted with one's fingers. If not for Li Zexuan's young age, with this strength and his relationship with the Family of Generals, even if he could not become the Great General of the Sixteen Guards, he could easily become a General of a thousand bulls.
Zhao Song smiled bitterly. "I have never heard of the Marquis of Yong 'an's talent in martial arts. His achievements in martial arts have already caught up with the martial arts seniors of the older generation. I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up to him in this lifetime!"
Li Er pinched his chin and said happily, "I wonder why Mount Longhu did not force this kid to stay. This way, the imperial court will have another young talent! Haha! "
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for finding such a talent!"
Zhao Song smiled knowingly.
Li Er waved his hand. He thought for a moment and said, "Do you know why Xiao Gong sent the secret memorial?"
"I don't know!"
"Plead for leniency!"
Li Er's face was expressionless as he slowly said, "Xiao Gong is pleading on Zhang Zhongjian's behalf. According to him, Zhang Zhongjian helped the imperial court when they were ambushed on the sea route back to the imperial court. Furthermore, Zhang Zhongjian protected him when they were in Feiniao Capital. He hopes that I will not blame Zhang Zhongjian for trespassing on Cloud Mountain on account of these two matters!"
Zhao Song's fingers trembled slightly, but he did not say anything.
Li Er continued, "Fine! Seeing that this fellow did not cause any major trouble, and that he has received the punishment he deserves, I will not pursue the matter! "
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Er smiled. He had been having a good time recently. The imperial court now had money and food. Today, Li Zexuan's breakthrough made him sigh in admiration. "Remember to bring that kid to the imperial court the day after tomorrow!"
For some reason, Li Er suddenly ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
