Chapter 197 Color is Empty
Looking at the crowds in the east and west of the village, Li Xiao felt a little dazed.
He seemed to have become the leader of the martial arts world. After the martial arts conference was held, all heroes from all over the world came to the alliance after receiving the hero posts he gave.
Fortunately, Lijiazhuang is big enough, especially when I took advantage of the winter leisure to re-plan Lijiazhuang. After demolishing and building it, Lijiazhuang is now clean and tidy, especially around the Lijia courtyard, all the old houses and low houses have been demolished, leaving behind large areas of open space. These places are ready to be planned later, but now they are empty and flat, just enough to accommodate more than a thousand people.
This made Li Xiao feel indescribable.
It's lively, it's really lively.
It is like the military and civilians who are deeply in love with each other. The soldiers of the Lanxi Zhechong Mansion and the villagers of the Lanxi Militia are originally family, either relatives or friends. They come together at this time to talk about corn, horse thieves, and tea. It is so comfortable. It is rare to have such a time to relax while fighting drought and training.
On the other side, Liu Jun, Wang Fangyi, Li Yuanfang and other groups of Chang'an Shi family also gathered together. Liu Jun is one of the four young masters in Chang'an, and Wang Fangyi is also known as Chang'an hero. Li Yuanfang's chivalrous name is also spread throughout Chang'an. Everyone has a common identity, that is, the children of a noble.
Let’s get together and have a common topic and have fun chatting.
Thank you for your hard work, the few people in the Li family’s kitchen have never stopped today. As soon as I came to pull it out, I was busy making a batch of cakes in the kitchen for a long time, and I immediately pulled it out again.
Fortunately, Li Xiao specially arranged a lot of people for the kitchen, and asked Dr. Zhao to open the granary to get grain, so that the kitchen could make cakes with dough. But there were too many people. As soon as the kitchen was steamed out, a pot of steamed cakes were taken out, they were immediately snatched away.
These people outside seem to never be full, just like bottomless pits.
"Hurry up, go to the warehouse to get the grain, and you're out of face again."
"You still have to have a knot?" Several women's hands were soft.
"No, I'll pull out people again, and there are dozens of numbers." The fat chef's face was flushed. Today was simply his performance stage.
"Where are people coming from?"
"Just our neighbor, Princess Lantian came with her guard Zhuang Ding, and there must be fifty or sixty people."
forecourt.
Princess Yuse, who had not appeared in Chang'an for a long time, immediately attracted countless people's attention. The villagers only dared to look at this royal beautiful princess from afar.
Many of the gossips in Chang'an are very familiar with the princess and often play together in the past. Many people have chased the princess before. Although they are like crazy bees chasing flowers, there are really few princesses who look down on them.
She used to like the feeling of being chased and like being praised by everyone, but now she is different.
"Sanlang, when I met the police in the village, why didn't I send someone to tell me?"
Tamase was rude to the nobles' children, so she walked directly to Li Xiao and asked him, with even a slight blame in her words.
Li Xiao bowed.
"I know that the princess has been devoted to practicing Taoism recently, how dare I disturb the princess? Besides, I am not a banquet here, but a thief comes, so I dare not involve the princess."
"Sanlang just calls me a real person. Although I am a monk and practice now, I am a close neighbor after all. If I hold a banquet in the village, I don't want you to call me. But when you meet a thief in the village, you should call me immediately. Although I am not as good as that day, there are still dozens of guards around me, and I can do some effort."
These words made Li Xiao not know what to say for a moment. He didn't inform Yuse because he was afraid of implicating her safety. After all, there were not many people around her now.
At this time, a man behind Yuse came forward and saluted Li Xiao.
The man was naked, wearing a Buddhist robe, and looked like a standard monk. But he was a little too handsome. He was about thirty years old, tall and handsome, with a white face and red lips. Seeing his appearance, Li Xiao suddenly felt a little jealous and indescribable.
However, when the nobles who had originally surrounded the princess saw this person, they all looked like ghosts, and some of them even took a few steps back involuntarily.
Li Xiao was a little surprised by their reaction. He originally thought that this monk was like Bian Ji, and he was another lover that the princess liked. But everyone's reaction was obviously not.
"Amitabha, I have met Mr. Li."
Li Xiao frowned and looked at Yuse in confusion.
"Sanlang, this is Master Sekong." Yuse's introduction was very short, with only one Dharma name, but Li Xiao knew that this monk was definitely not simple.
He asked them to rest in the front hall. When he came out, Liu Jun pulled Li Xiao and whispered, "Sanlang, you are now a court official, so you don't have to interact with that person in the future."
"Who? That monk? It's only the first time I've seen him. Do you know him?"
"Before he became a monk, how many people in the world had never heard of his name. He was the former King of Wu Li Ke."
King Li Ke of Wu, after saying this, Li Xiao immediately knew why everyone was reacting. Li Ke was extremely virtuous and was a virtuous king. It is said that Taizong even intended to let Li Ke be the crown prince. Although he didn't know whether this matter was true or not, based on this rumor alone, he could tell that this person's identity is good.
But last time he was involved in a rebellion case, he was a life-threatening death. He finally got pardoned by the emperor. Afterwards, Li Ke was silent again, but unexpectedly he actually entered the Kong Sect and became the Master Se Kong.
For form and emptiness, form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.
Li Ke and Yu Se, the royal brother and sister, became Taoist nuns and the other became monks. It was really a fate to make people mess with each other.
"Go away some suspicion in the future and avoid contact with him." Liu Jun reminded Li Xiao that no matter whether Li Ke really participated in the plot or not, he was granted a special pardon after pleading guilty. Even if he became a monk, he was still a sensitive person.
When Li Xiao recalled Li Ke's appearance just now, he felt a little complicated. A dead man in history has survived because of himself and became a monk. Is this considered that he had changed history?
The last bright color between heaven and earth gradually disappeared, and darkness enveloped the earth. Lijiazhuang lit a torch and a bonfire. Baskets of steamed cakes and buckets of egg flower soup were placed on the open air. Everyone ate cakes and drank soup in big bowls. Although there was no wine or meat, the atmosphere was quite good.
The outside of the village was swallowed by darkness and silent.
Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves running broke the tranquility. One person rode a horse and rushed over. Under the glimmer of light, a feather arrow was inserted on his back, and blood had soaked his back.
The person on the horse's back urged the horse to run hard. When he saw a light in the distance, his face finally showed a look of joy.
