The reason Gao Lishi adopted Yue'er was so that in the future, when he was too old to walk, he could have a considerate person to take care of him. If Yue'er became a First Rank Madam in the future, it would be impossible for her to take care of him personally.
In addition, the ideal son-in-law in Gao Lishi's heart was a kind of honest person who did not have much ability. This kind of person was easy to control and could be easily ordered around without worrying about disobedience.
In Gao Lishi's view, Yue'er was a relatively weak woman, and Ang Lee was a very capable person. It was simply impossible for Yue'er to control Ang Lee.
Daughter, Ang Lee is an outstanding young master, all young girls will be moved when they see him, but he is not someone you can control, he does not belong to you.
Gao Lishi looked at Yue'er who was hiding behind a pillar and sighed in his heart.
Ang Lee saw Gao Lishi repeatedly looking behind him and immediately had a premonition that someone was secretly looking at him from behind. He hurriedly turned around and coincidentally met Yue'er's eyes who had stuck out her small head.
Yue'er was startled and hurriedly hid. Ang Lee also slowly turned around as if nothing had happened and continued to drink tea with Gao Lishi.
"Gao Fu, why are you standing outside hesitating? What's the matter?"
Gao Lishi had already noticed that Gao Fu had walked to the side of the main hall. After waiting for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, seeing that Gao Fu had not left, he opened his mouth and asked.
Gao Fu walked a few steps into the main hall and reported: "Great General, An Qingzong has come to visit."
"Why did An Qingzong come to the capital?"
Ang Lee was shocked and sat up straight.
Gao Lishi faintly smiled. He knew that An Qingzong was An Lushan's eldest son, and Ang Lee came from Ying Province, so it was not surprising that he knew An Qingzong.
"What? Does Li Shaolang know An Qingzong?"
Ang Lee didn't try to hide anything as he said seriously, "General, Ang Lee doesn't just know him. When we were in Liucheng County, I gave him a good beating. I heard that he was bedridden for half a month."
"Li Shaolang was so heavy-handed. An Qingzong must have done something bad."
"Yes, Great General. An Qingzong relied on his father's position as the Commander-In-Chief of Ying Province to bully everyone in Liucheng County. Almost all the girls that he fancied were not spared. That day, he forcefully bought my sister on the streets. Ang Lee was so angry that he gave him a good beating."
Ang Lee bluntly told the Gao Lishi about An Qingzong's character.
Seeing this, Gao Fu loudly said, "Good beating, good beating. An Qingzong's character is so low, he should be taught a good lesson."
Gao Lishi gently stood up and walked to Ang Lee's side. He whispered, "Li Shaolang, could the destruction of White Wolf Village be related to An Qingzong?"
Ang Lee was shocked. Ang Lee didn't tell the Gao Lishi about the destruction of White Wolf Village, but the Gao Lishi knew about it. This was enough to prove that the Gao Lishi specially investigated his background. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know about such an insignificant matter that happened in a remote mountain village.
"The Grand General treats Ang Lee well, and Ang Lee shouldn't hide it from the Grand General. This matter is indeed related to An Qingzong. However, An Qingzong doesn't have the strength. The Grand General should be able to guess who slaughtered White Wolf Village."
Ang Lee insinuated that it was An Lushan, the Governor of Yingzhou.
Gao Lishi gently nodded and looked at Ang Lee. "I can understand Li Shaolang's words. However, this kind of words can be said here. It's better not to say it outside."
"Yes, Grand General. Ang Lee understands."
"Grand General, since An Qingzong's character is so low, Gao Fu will go and drive him away."
Gao Lishi's mouth moved. "An Qingzong came for Liu Luogu's matter. This matter is already over. Let him go. I don't want to see him."
"Yes, Grand General."
Gao Lishi stretched out his hand. "Li Shaolang, let's continue to drink tea."
"Grand General, please."
In less than the time to drink a cup of tea, Gao Fu rushed over again.
Gao Lishi's expression was very unhappy. "What, An Qingzong doesn't want to leave?"
"Grand General, An Qingzong has been driven away by me. However, when he left, he left a dozen small boxes. When the servants opened them, they were all bloody heads. Grand General, what do you think An Qingzong wants to do? Could it be that he dares to threaten you?"
Gao Fu reported in anger and shock.
Gao Lishi frowned when he heard this. He secretly sighed at An Lushan's ruthlessness. Perhaps Ang Lee was right. The destruction of White Wolf Village was An Lushan's masterpiece.
"Gao Fu, bury these heads."
Gao Lishi ordered expressionlessly.
"Yes, Grand General."
Gao Fu hurriedly accepted the order and turned to carry it out.
Ang Lee and Gao Lishi were both smart people. They had already guessed that these heads belonged to Liu Luogu's family.
An Lushan hated Liu Luogu for not doing his job well and ruining his plans. For this reason, he sent his confidants to secretly kill all of Liu Luogu's family members and bring these heads to Gao Lishi. This was to show Gao Lishi that he was angry at Liu Luogu for kidnapping Yue 'er. This was to make friends with Gao Lishi and pave the way for his official career.
"In order to appease the Grand General's anger, Governor An actually killed all of his beloved general's family members. His methods are so ruthless that they are comparable to Yi Ya of the Qi Kingdom."
Ang Lee sighed casually and had the intention of reminding Gao Lishi.
The so-called Yi Ya was a famous cooking master of the Qi Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. In order to gain the trust of the Duke Huan of Qi, he actually killed his own son and made meat porridge for the Duke Huan of Qi. However, after gaining power, he rebelled and forced the Duke Huan of Qi to his death.
Gao Lishi nodded slightly. He had seen countless people. Through these dozen heads, he immediately saw the true face of An Lushan. This person had great ambitions and would do anything for his future. He was an extremely dangerous person.
However, he was just a eunuch. He would not think of ways to get rid of An Lushan just because An Lushan was vicious. This was not something he should do. What he should do was to serve Li Longji wholeheartedly. When necessary, he could also remind Li Longji.
"Grand General, Ang Lee has disturbed you today. I should take my leave."
The atmosphere of drinking tea was ruined by An Qingzong. Gao Lishi and Ang Lee both lost interest.
Gao Lishi smiled gently and said, "Okay, I'll see Li Shaolang out."
"Grand General, please wait. Ang Lee can go by himself."
"I'm going back to the palace. I'll see Li Shaolang out on the way. Let's go."
Gao Lishi said and strode out of the mansion. Ang Lee quickly followed.
"Li Shaolang, in a few days, His Majesty will definitely summon you. You have to prepare well."
"Yes, Grand General. Ang Lee understands."
After leaving Gao Lishi's mansion, Ang Lee looked at the carriage that was speeding towards the palace. He was slightly surprised. Gao Lishi was too busy. He had only returned home for a few hours before returning to the palace.
Of course, Ang Lee didn't know the situation in the palace. In order to firmly grasp the right to read the memorials, Gao Lishi had to stay by Li Longji's side as much as possible. After all, the last time he stayed at home for a night, his privilege was taken away by Yu Chaoen. He wouldn't give Yu Chaoen such an opportunity again.
On the street between Longevity Extension Square and Buzheng Square, Ang Lee rode his horse. He wanted to go to Yan Ruyu's mansion to discuss some matters. He also wanted to visit Yan Ruyu while he was at it.
Why was An Qingzong here? Could it be that their residence was the mansion that Liu Luogu used to live in?
Ang Lee suddenly saw An Qingzong and was puzzled.
"You, stop. I think I've seen you somewhere before."
An Qingzong reined in his horse and looked at Ang Lee with a frown.
Ang Lee wasn't afraid of An Qingzong. He smiled indifferently. "Young Master has forgotten the pain after the scar healed. You don't remember me so quickly."
"You, it's you. Take him down."
An Qingzong finally remembered that Ang Lee had beaten him up and was furious.
"Young Master, this is the capital and not Ying Province. You can't act recklessly."
"Bastard, it's this brat who caused me to be bedridden for half a month. Take him down."
An Qingzong was furious.
A few private guards heard the order and immediately pounced on Ang Lee.
However, how could a few small fries be a match for Ang Lee? With a few whips, these small fries were all lying on the ground.
"Bastard, all of you, attack."
Seven or eight small fries pounced on Ang Lee together. Ang Lee smiled and jumped up from his horse. As he dodged the attack, he flew directly to An Qingzong's mount and kicked An Qingzong off his horse.
It wasn't until he fell heavily on the ground that An Qingzong clearly realized that the ten private guards beside him were no match for Ang Lee. The reason why he was beaten in Ying Province was because Ang Lee was strong in martial arts. He actually forgot this point.
However, An Qingzong didn't expect that he would meet Ang Lee in the capital and be taught a lesson again.
"Tian Shelang, tell me your name if you have the ability."
An Qingzong climbed up from the ground and fiercely glared at Ang Lee.
Ang Lee smiled and pointed at An Qingzong with his horsewhip. He loudly said: "An Qingzong, open your ears and listen carefully. My name is Ang Lee."
Ang Lee, he is actually Ang Lee.
An Qingzong naturally heard of Ang Lee's great name. Ang Lee's great victory in Yu Province had already made his name known throughout the world. And forcing Liu Luogu to death step by step made his father An Lushan remember this name.
"Quick, surround them."
Zhang Daxiong of the Right Golden Guard heard that there was a fight on the street. He personally led fifty soldiers from not far away and surrounded the two sides.
"Officer Li, why are you here?"
Zhang Daxiong was slightly surprised when he saw Ang Lee.
Ang Lee smiled: "An hour ago, the Great General invited me to his residence for tea. I just came out and was surrounded by a group of mad dogs."
"Tian Shelang, who are you calling mad dogs?"
An Qingzong was furious.
"Impudent!"
Zhang Daxiong fiercely whipped An Qingzong's face.
"Officer Li, let's talk over here."
Ang Lee got off his horse and followed Zhang Daxiong to the side.
"Officer Li, did the Great General mention me at the Great General's residence?"
Ang Lee grinned: "The Great General said that Yue 'er was successfully rescued. The General and Liu County Magistrate both contributed. He will remember it in his heart."
Zhang Daxiong's face lit up and he glanced at An Qingzong: "Li Shaolang, who are they? Why did they stop you?"
