Li Buyi looked at Liu Zhi'an's complex expression and shook his head helplessly: "Exceptor Liu, this is what the old saying goes!"
"I wonder if Liu Yuanwai would like to go to Lao Tao's thatched cottage to rest for a while and have a cup of light tea?"
Liu Zhi'an shook his head silently, took a medium-sized brocade box from Liu Yuan's hand behind him and handed it to Li Buyi: "A small gift is not a sign of respect. Please accept it with a smile!"
Li Buyi, who had just dismissed Lu Gongwang's several large boxes, took the small brocade box from Liu Zhi'an with a faint smile.
"If a member has a good heart, I won't be polite. I should form a good relationship with Master Liu!"
"If nothing comes of what you have asked for, Liu Zhi'an will stop disturbing the gods and say goodbye!"
"It's easy to leave without seeing him off!"
Liu Zhi'an was not polite and walked directly towards the carriage outside the valley, got in gently, and Liu Yuan consciously whipped his riding whip, turned the carriage, and slowly headed towards the avenue.
Li Buyi looked at the retreating figure of the carriage, waved his fly whisk to calculate for a moment, and then sighed with a complicated expression.
"The way of heaven shows its majesty, and all living things are like ants."
"Man's delusion is that he is fighting against the sky, and he is not overestimating his own capabilities!"
In the carriage, Old God Liu Zhi'an was twirling the thumb on his hand, and gently opened the curtain a crack.
"Liu Yuan, has the eldest lady returned from meeting the eldest young master outside the customs?"
Liu Ying gently waved her whip and nodded slightly: "I have received the letter from the eldest lady. I should be able to meet you this afternoon!"
"Shall we go back home now, or go somewhere else?"
"Back home, I want to write a letter to Zhang Kuang, asking Mingli to join the army!"
Liu Yuan looked back at Liu Zhi'an in surprise: "Master, Liu Yuan dared to say one more thing, I hope you won't be offended!"
"Talk about it!"
Liu Yuan pondered for a while: "Sir, although the second young master has been practicing martial arts diligently under Liu Yi's guidance these days, it seems to me that he has no intention of joining the army."
"It wouldn't be nice if I forced him to join the army."
"After all, the second young master has already married and started a business. I don't know whether the second young master's wife agrees or not!"
Liu Zhi'an was silent for a moment, and then an indifferent voice sounded.
"It's about the safety of my Liu family. It won't work if he doesn't go!"
"Furthermore, Mingli has always wanted to emulate his elder brother's example and have expressed his desire to join the army several times. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made this decision."
"With the skills he learned from Liu Yi, as long as he doesn't seek death on the battlefield, it won't be a problem to protect himself."
"After you have achieved military exploits and earned a title, you will have more strength to protect yourself in the future."
"I don't believe in fate, but I am in awe of such nothingness."
"I have to be on guard just in case."
"It's a good thing for the Liu family that Mingli can make a name for himself!"
Liu Yuan fell silent, not saying anything, and quietly waving his whip as he drove on.
Liu Zhi'an in the carriage took out a brochure bag from his arms and pulled out a piece of rice paper that had turned yellow, as if the rice paper would fall into pieces with the slightest force.
Liu Zhi'an gently opened the rice paper and started to read it. He looked at the big characters on the paper and muttered melancholy.
"How can golden scales be just a thing in a pond? They turn into dragons when encountering wind and clouds!"
After staring blankly at the rice paper for a long time, Liu Zhi'an carefully closed the rice paper, put it in the bag, put it close to his body again, and began to close his eyes and fall asleep.
"Son, I hope this old guy Gong Puzi, who has lived for who knows how long, is wrong in his comments about your fate!"
"I hope that the forces I have cultivated for so many years will not be needed one day!"
I don't know how long it took, but Liu Zhi'an felt the carriage pause and slowly opened his eyes.
"Master, we're home!"
Liu Zhi'an nodded, got out of the carriage and rushed home.
"Young lady, please see me. The eldest lady has been waiting for me in the study for a long time!"
"I got it, I'm going to go now, please step back first!"
"Yes, little one, please resign!"
Watching Liu Yuan sending the carriage away, Liu Zhi'an straightened his clothes and walked directly towards the backyard study.
After a while, Liu Zhi'an looked at the wide open door and walked straight in. Mrs. Liu and Liu Ying were sitting on chairs chatting happily.
Seeing Liu Zhi'an coming back, Mrs. Liu stood up with a chuckle and looked at Liu Zhi'an expectantly: "Master, you are back, have you seen your appearance?"
Liu Zhi'an looked at Mrs. Liu with a melancholy expression: "I see, the situation is still the same as before!"
"Madam, don't worry too much."
"This kind of thing has no basis at all. No one knows whether it is true or false."
"Gong Puzi was already blinded by his old age back then. If he saw it wrong, maybe he saw it wrong. Don't worry, I will take care of everything!"
Mrs. Liu's eyebrows furrowed and she sighed silently: "Little sister, you talk to the master first, and my sister-in-law goes to the kitchen to make some food and wine for you!"
Liu Ying nodded slightly: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Mrs. Liu walked out of the study with light steps. Liu Zhi'an sat directly on the seat and looked at Liu Ying calmly.
"Have you seen Zhi'er and Xiaoxi?"
Liu Ying nodded sternly. Perhaps Liu Ying would become very frivolous except in front of Young Master Liu.
"I see, the couple living with Xiaoxi are so carefree and comfortable. They herd sheep and horses, the men farm and the women weave, living a paradise life."
Liu Zhi'an put down the teacup he picked up and sighed angrily.
"My little bastard lived a very comfortable life, but he didn't know that I was like an ant on a hot pot when I ran around!"
"What does he mean about the spy? Get rid of him or let him go?"
Liu Ying looked at Liu Zhi'an quietly: "The trouble is diverted to the east, and the attention of this matter will be drawn to the vassal kings, especially the King of Shu, Li Yunlong, who needs special care!"
Liu Zhi'an was stunned and laughed twice: "The little bastard is quite vindictive. It seems that the incident between Qinglian girl and the King of Shu back then still holds a grudge against him!"
Liu Ying shook her head silently: "Brother, it shouldn't be because of this!"
"According to the report of the Shadow Killing Guard, Xiao Mingming suffered an assassination outside the city. For some reason, Xiao Mingming suspected King Shu!"
"My little sister thought, this is the reason why Xiao Mingming can't let go of King Shu!"
Liu Zhi'an tapped the table gently: "I remembered that the Golden Queen Wanyan Wanyan was also there at the time. Did Zhi'er express her views on the general trend of the future?"
Liu Ying's pretty face showed a hesitant look, as if she was struggling.
After a long time, Liu Ying took a deep breath.
"It's not a big deal to change the lord of the world!"
Liu Zhi'an's eyes narrowed, revealing a light that made Liu Ying even palpitate.
"Did Zhi'er really say that?"
"Yes, he said that as long as you have a large army, the countries in the Western Regions are the best examples!"
Liu Zhi'an slowly closed his eyes, and for a moment, the quiet in the study room could be heard.
"Little sister, do you regret having come to this point?"
Liu Ying shook her head slightly: "There is nothing to regret. If it is true as Gong Puzi said, Liu Ying, as the young lady of the Yun family, once it comes true, the Yun family will not be able to escape and will be implicated. "
"My little sister thinks that Xiao Mingming said something right when they were chatting outside the customs!"
"The prerequisite for loyalty is to stay alive, to ensure that you are still alive and loyal!"
Liu Zhi'an Mu Ran opened his eyes.
"In this case, it's time for the White Lotus Sect that was wiped out in the past to come back to the world!"
