Zhao Yao started his career as a martial artist and loved to wield swords and sticks. Therefore, his mansion was not built in Xuanhuai County. Instead, it was located in a quiet and lush forest.
Compared with the Qinghe Residence, which has emerald pavilions and pavilions, Xuanhuai Zhao Residence is not only "big"", but it also lacks a little bit of warmth. There are many mansions for princes and princes. The entire Zhao Mansion is four hundred paces long and five hundred paces wide. It stands alone in an ownerless forest outside the city. It is quiet and far-reaching, broad and quiet, making people tremble with fear at first glance.
Liu Yi rode in front, followed by Qiao Miaoqing and Wang Dali, a group of thirteen people. After entering the forest, they slowed down their horses.
Qiao Miaoqing has sharp ears and eyes. She can see all directions. She patted her horse and came to Liu Yi's side. She whispered, "There are whistles in the woods and snow all around. We must be careful and don't be careless."
Speaking of this, Qiao Miaoqing paused and said softly, "It's best not to offend Zhao Yao."
Hearing this, Liu Yi complained in his heart: Miss Qiao, who has always been domineering and defiant, actually said such weak words. It seems that this place is really a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi made a plan in his mind: Even if Zhao Yao tried to make things difficult for him in every possible way today, he couldn't stand up rashly, otherwise, he would definitely end up dying before he started.
When we arrived at the gate of Zhao Mansion, no, it was the main camp, the word "Zhao Mansion" was already faintly visible, and everyone was stunned when they looked at it intently.
The entire Zhao Mansion is surrounded by a standard wooden fence, with a horse barrier on the outside, and a ring of long spears and short blades on the inside, which are fierce and solemn, just like a military stronghold. In the Zhao Mansion, there is a house among trees, and a house with trees. He is well versed in the principle that among the five elements, the wood element moistens the yin and nourishes all things. As soon as Pingbo meets Lin Yu, millions of people envy this residence. Such a unique and wonderful residence for immortals is extremely enviable.
After a moment of envy, everyone returned to reality. Liu Yi waved his hand gently, and everyone stood quietly in front of the door.
For a moment, there was a loud sound of horse hooves in the camp. Old Zhao Yao and more than ten horsemen came in response to the sound. They were five feet away from Liu Yi. The horses reined in the horses. The more than ten horsemen suddenly stopped, and Old Zhao Yao rode them. The horse walked around Liu Yi, and after returning to his original position, he looked down at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi looked back at Zhao Yao with a smile on his face and snorted coldly in his heart: Pingtian's decree has already been issued to the five counties. You, Zhao Yao, are bullying my young man. This is to show your power.
"Are you Liu Quansheng's son?" Zhao Yao looks ordinary, but has a burly figure and a voice like a bell. At this time, the battlefield veteran with half-white hair was looking at Liu Yi playfully.
"Senior, I'm Liu Yi. My courtesy name is different. My father is Liu Quansheng." Liu Yi bowed to him.
"Liu Wenzhao can endure the pain of separation and concentrate on state affairs; he can single-handedly subvert a large family. I respect and admire such a cool and proud man! If he has a chance, he will definitely have a drink with Mr. Da." Zhao Yao held the whip in his hand, lying on the back of the horse, looking intently at Liu Yi, who was upright, and smiled like a silver bell, "Your appearance is nine points better than that of your father. However, you have no achievements and no merit." Showing knowledge, although dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, in my opinion, the gimmick of being the son of the leader of the three heroes of Quzhou is far greater than the reputation of your Pingtian order in the five counties. Right? From this point of view , Liu Quansheng still has some selfish motives! Haha."
"Last year, I had the honor to travel to Bozhou with Grandpa Dongfang. Grandpa always said that the mountains in books are far inferior to the mountains in the eyes. It is better to listen to other people's words than to see them in person." Liu Yi's face did not change and he refuted loudly, " The fake gold should be plated with real gold. If it is real gold, it should not be plated with gold. Whether it is a name or a gimmick, today, County Magistrate Zhao will know after a test."
Zhao Yao also remained calm and nodded slightly and imperceptibly, "Please!"
The early battles made this county magistrate who had broken the city into a military style. He spoke straightforwardly and neatly, which suited Qiao Miaoqing and Wang Dali very well.
Liu Yi met Zhao Yao several times and judged that Zhao Yao was not a sinister and cunning person. Therefore, when Zhao Yao invited Liu Yi, without any hesitation, he got off his horse and walked forward with his chest held high.
Zhao Yao treated his mansion like a large military camp. He rode horses when leaving the camp and dismounted when entering the camp. There was only a loess road from the main entrance to the living room, and there were school fields on both sides of the dirt road. When Liu Yi and others entered the mansion, they were about thirty A tall and thick man, naked from the waist up, was running around the school field in a steaming heat. In the center of the school field, the big flag with the word "Zhao" was flying fiercely in the wind, really like a man's mighty camp.
The only thing that was different from a military camp was that the tent was replaced by a house, and the servants did not wear armor.
Seeing this, Wang Dali couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that Mr. Zhao's desire to serve the country will never die!"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Liu Yi and Zhao Yao heard this sentence at the same time. They both had their own thoughts and lowered their heads in unison.
The living room is clean and tidy. A Huaxing landscape painting hangs behind the main table. Two paint-off mat tables are placed on the left and right. With the charcoal fire in the middle, there is nothing else. If there is anything else, it is the idiot, Zhao Sujian, who is waving the wooden figure around everywhere.
There was no extra table in the hall, so Qiao Miaoqing simply took Wang Dali and wandered around Zhao Mansion, leaving Zhao Yao, Liu Yi and Zhao Sujian alone. After Liu Yi sat down, he shook out a set of words he had prepared in advance.
"County Magistrate Zhao is hard-working and hard-working, loyal and courageous, strong and righteous, chivalrous and moral. He once relied on the eight axes of Xuanhuai to stabilize the chaos in the place. He is really an example for our generation to learn from." Liu Yi stared at With big eyes and a steady gaze, he flattered the horse and said, "I am not talented, so I have to accept the post of Pingtian in the fifth county. The first thing I did after taking office was to come to County Magistrate Zhao to pay my respects to the mountain gate, so that I can do things easily in the future. Before the trip, my father specially asked , we must establish a relationship with Mr. Zhao, and in the future we will be able to prosper in Huaxing County with the help of Mr. Zhao’s reputation.”
"Haha! We can't compare to Liu Pingtian. He has achieved such a high position without touching a single stroke or shedding a drop of blood. We are really envious of others." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "But in this world, only young people are the best." Respect, I have ordered people to set up a fire to roast the sheep and entertain the distinguished guests. Let’s get drunk tonight and let’s talk about the rest another day!”
Liu Yi knew as soon as he heard that Zhao Yao was not good at talking. He was afraid of being moved by his words and falling into a trap, so he simply made the first impression and sealed his mouth. If he opened his mouth to talk again, he would be somewhat ignorant of etiquette.
Zhao Yao had a somewhat strong personality, so Liu Yi decided to change roles and give him some strong medicine to treat his serious illness.
"Life encounters come together by chance! No one knows what their life will be like. They can only take one step at a time. What do you think? Mr. Zhao." Liu Yi deliberately cast his eyes on Zhao Sujian and imitated his way of waving toys. , swaying left and right, very funny.
"You are rude, you are bullying me because of my old age, you think I am unhappy with the big ax in my hand?" Just like Wangbei Tower that day, Zhao Yao was angry that Liu Yi had insulted his son, and overturned the table again, with a cold look in his eyes and murderous intent.
At this moment, Liu Yi saw through Zhao Yao. This resolute old man was not afraid of death, but he was not without weaknesses. His weakness and weaknesses were none other than his foolish son, Zhao Sujian.
Seeing Zhao Yao's eyes like a tiger pouncing on food, Liu Yi was a little scared at first, and then his eyes gradually became determined.
There are too many things in this world that make people afraid, but you can't always shrink back just because of fear.
In these turbulent years, the most rare thing is to watch the remaining nights with a lone lamp and to work hard to clear the bushes.
Liu Yi's method of provoking the generals really worked. Seeing that Zhao Yao was confused, he slapped the table and stood up, looked at Zhao Yao, and shouted, "Come and humiliate me, sit down and humiliate me. You keep saying that you should respect young people, but everything can be done." You are disrespectful to the young man. Is Mr. Zhao's respect just a lip service? Is this the etiquette for you to show your love to the Zhao family?"
"Hmph! Brother is here, of course there will be good wine. You? Humph!" Zhao Yao took a step forward and shouted, "Liu Yi, son, don't think that I don't know why you are here! Pingtian, whose field is leveled? Why do you want to level me? My land? My family property was built with human heads based on actual military achievements. What you are doing is ignorant and shameless!"
"Presumptuous! Pingtian is a great policy of the country, how can you allow you to give advice so easily?" Liu Yi argued, and then raised his thick eyebrows, "Who told you that I came to collect your land? I'm belittling myself!"
Liu Yi's move was a slap in the face, which was really too much for old Zhao Yao. He, who was not good at talking, was speechless, and the whole situation suddenly became cold.
After a while, Zhao Yao choked and said, "Liu Yi, I can't talk to you, and I have never had any contact with your Liu family and his son. I have no kindness or enmity. I am old and have no interest in the world or the temple. Young man, I don't care. Why are you here? After eating mutton and drinking wine for a while, you can go back. I will not do anything treasonous, but if someone wants to take away my property, ask me if I will agree with the big ax in my hand!"
Liu Yi walked up to Zhao Yao, pointed at Zhao Sujian, who was drooling, and said softly, "Old man, all your thoughts and feelings are causes, and all your current experiences are consequences. Old man, back then you decided to fight with the Liu family of Lingyuan. At that time, we should have expected such evil consequences. Come here, kid..."
Zhao Yao interrupted Liu Yi's words, waved his hands repeatedly, and said in a low voice, "Go, go! My child, go!"
Zhao Yao had already issued an order to expel the guests, but Liu Yi did not leave.
A victorious general never fights an unprepared battle. Before leaving, he talked with Xia Qing and learned an important piece of news, on which he placed his hopes.
The hall was quiet for a while, but Liu Yi didn't feel embarrassed. He said he wanted to eat before leaving, so he stopped talking about official matters. Instead, he started playing with Zhao Sujian, who was about the same age, and it was so dark.
Zhao Yao couldn't figure out the young man's thoughts for a while, so he could only watch quietly.
The warm scene did not last long. After a while, at almost noon, the sun was shining. Zhao Sujian, who was in high spirits, suddenly collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, trembling all over, and his black hair instantly turned frosty white, like the depth of winter. of soft white snow.
When Liu Yi saw this, he sat back in 'surprise' and said timidly, "Old man, why is this happening? This junior is not planning to poison me!"
Zhao Yao was used to it, and said "I don't blame you", then walked quickly to Zhao Sujian, helped him sit up, moved him to massage him with a unique technique, and saw Zhao Sujian's hair grow with his age. Zhao Yao moved up and down, sometimes white and sometimes black, which was so magical that Liu Yi was amazed.
"Don't be afraid, don't take it seriously! Ever since he was poisoned by Liu Xing, this child will behave like this every time he gets stronger at noon. Over the years, I have searched for famous doctors all over the world and used countless folk prescriptions and good medicines, but there is no improvement. So I learned One-handed massage is used to regulate qi, consuming qi every day, sorting out yin and yang for him, in order to alleviate the pain of the disease."
In one sentence, he expressed his father's bitterness.
Liu Yi vaguely guessed the reason why Zhao Yao had not broken through for many years. He sighed in his heart and asked curiously, "Oh? Old man, do you know why herbal medicine is useless?"
"Snowy toad grass grows in the north and is a rare herb in the world. When used righteously, it can be righteous, and when used evilly, it can be evil. People who are sick can take snowy toad grass to nourish and strengthen the body, and treat weakness, qi deficiency, confusion, and post-illness diseases. Disorders and other diseases. If a strong and healthy person takes it, he will be confused and confused. If he takes too much, he will be overly strong and his life will be worried. This is not a poison, so there is no cure. The old dog Liu Xing was my son that day After taking too much snow toad grass, if it hadn't been for the bowl of horse dung soup provided by the benefactor Huangfu Ke, this child would have died of excess energy! To put it bluntly, this child did not have a deficiency of energy and blood, but an excess of energy and blood. ah!"
Zhao Yao lamented, but did not stop. Two rough old hands gently stroked Zhao Sujian back and forth. This was the secret that Zhao Yao had not been able to break through for many years!
Deep love is like the flowing water of a river, and it is also moving when it flows to the end of the world.
Infatuated parents have existed since ancient times. What a pity for the hearts of parents in the world!
Some people died, but not completely...
