Chapter 121 Xu Li's Thoughts

The main hall of the Zhou family's mansion.

Zhou Ming, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family, was sitting in front of him, while the Second Young Master, Zhou Yixuan, and other high-ranking members of the Zhou Family were sitting on both sides.Besides, Li Jin and Li Qinqin were also sitting aside.

As for the host and guest seats, they were Tang Shirong, the uncle of the country, Xu Li, the second prince of the Xu family, and most importantly, Li Yu, the young master of the Li family.

"My nephew was exhausted all the way, but it was hard work." Zhou Ming took the lead and smiled at Li Yu.

"Thank you Shibo for your concern." Li Yu got up and saluted, "My nephew came this time, on the one hand, to send my father's letter to Shibo." After speaking, he handed a letter to Xiao Zi who was beside him. Long, and then she handed it over to Zhou Ming.

Everyone's eyes were fixed.Li Zhou's family has white feather sparrows, but at this time Li Yu was asked to bring a letter, obviously to prevent the situation that the white feather sparrows were also intercepted in the air.This indirectly shows that the content of the letter is absolutely very important.

Zhou Ming took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.Soon, his already small eyes narrowed into straight lines, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"Okay!" Zhou Ming gave a low drink, vomited the red glow in his hand, and the letter was shattered into pieces.It wasn't until the red glow returned to his chest that Zhou Ming turned his head and smiled at Li Yu: "Tell your father for me, if Zhou has no objection, just do as he says!"

"Thank you, Uncle." Li Yu saluted again, "Besides, my nephew has another purpose here, which is to send someone to bring my uncle and the second prince back to Tianji City."

"Then there will be Young Master Lao." Tang Shirong cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Li Yu." Xu Li glanced at Li Jin secretly, then turned his head to look at Li Yu, and said in a low voice.

"You two are serious." Li Yu hurriedly returned the salute, "The Xu and Li families are in the same spirit, there is no need to do this. If you are ready, I want you to leave as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Tang Shirong nodded: "We can leave at any time."

After speaking, he stood up again and bowed deeply to Zhou Ming: "Tang is really ashamed to have been bothering Zhou's family these days. Thank you very much!"

Zhou Ming quickly waved his hand: "Why does Uncle Guo do this. The second prince and Uncle Guo will take care of you all the way to the northwest."

Both Xu Li and Tang Shirong expressed their gratitude quickly.

Li Jin was on the side, seeing that Xu Li was beginning to treat people in a decent manner, so he nodded secretly.Feeling Li Jin's gaze, Xu Li turned his head subconsciously. Seeing Li Jin looking at him, he hurriedly turned his head away again.

Everyone greeted each other for a while, Zhou Ming proposed to arrange a dinner to clean up Li Yu's dust, and also practiced for Xu Li and Tang Shirong, and everyone dispersed immediately.

That night, the banquet hall of the Zhou family.

The qin and cymbals sing together, and the singing and dancing are peaceful.Everyone was drinking wine, Li Yu and Tang Shirong had been toasting with Zhou Ming and Zhou Yixuan and his son, but the eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Yiyu, still did not appear.

After being caught by Zhou Ming for a few drinks, Li Jin escaped on the pretext of being too drunk.To be honest, it's enough to experience this kind of banquet once or twice. Li Jin really doesn't like this kind of occasion.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out, he saw a small shadow leaning against the side of the stone railing, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, and said nothing in a daze.

"What is the second prince thinking?" Li Jin asked when he took a closer look and found that it was Xu Li.

Xu Li was obviously taken aback, and turned his head with a low cry: "So it's Mr. Li Jin. Please still call me A Li, Mr. Li. It sounds... more friendly."

"Why is A Li outside alone, don't you like the banquet inside?" Li Jin smiled.

"I used to ask my uncle what my mother looks like. He told me that when you look at the bright moon, it looks like your mother's eyes." Xu Li couldn't see his expression clearly in the night, but Li Jin could still hear the little girl's eyes. The loneliness in the boy's heart.

"Missing the queen?" Li Jin walked over and put his arm on his shoulder, "Yeah, I miss my mother too."

"Uncle said, it's not brave to miss my mother all the time. As a prince, I should adapt to those welcomes and send-offs inside. What's more, the Zhou family is one of the biggest helpers for my revenge." Feeling Li Jin's arm, Xu Li's body was obviously stiff for a moment, and then recovered immediately, and said a little lonely.

"Naturally, it's impossible to dwell on past pain." Li Jin smiled, "But A Li will turn his memory of his mother into motivation. I believe in that."

Xu Li's eyes suddenly brightened, like a pair of pearls in the night, and his voice became louder: "Thank you, Mr. Li Jin. Also, I haven't had time to thank you for what happened to Ling Yun last time." .”

"You don't need to thank me." Li Jin rubbed his nose, "That day you were able to tame the eagle with your own will. To be honest, I admire you very much."

"It's not like this, Mr. Li Jin." Xu Li suddenly took a deep breath, and turned to face Li Jin, "At that time, Ling Yun's disapproval really almost broke me, I really like I gave up! What kind of revenge, what kind of Qing Dynasty, I really don't want to pay attention to it at that moment..."

"A Li..." Li Jin looked at Xu Li in surprise, he had never seen Xu Li speak so many words at once, and his voice was no longer so weak.

Xu Li blushed, but Li Jin didn't notice it in the night.He hurriedly said: "Since I was sensible, I have relied on encouragement and trust, and I have persisted. I really don't want to let myself down, and I don't want to let you down..."

Li Jin looked at Xu Li solemnly: "A Li, you can achieve today's results because of your own hard work. You have never failed Uncle Guo's expectations. It should be said that you have always given him hope. Because With you, he is full of confidence in the future."

"I have relied on my uncle for six years. Because of him, I have not disappeared from the crowd." Xu Li looked at the night sky and said slowly, "And Mr. Li Jin, your help to me is far from teaching me how to tame eagles. That's all. I asked Sister Xiaoqin about your past, Mr. Li Jin, and you have always been so trustworthy... What you taught me is how to face the difficulties in the future, how to become strong, how to... Face your own heart... from now on, it's time for my uncle to rely on me."

Looking at this child who was younger than himself in this life, Li Jin's heart suddenly twitched. He didn't hear what Xu Li said later.

You have to learn everything, you have to know everything, and you have to work hard to behave like an adult.Is all this really something such a young child should understand, face, learn, and bear?
------

In the early morning of the second day, everyone arrived at the west gate of Danjin City.

Tang Shirong wanted to set off for Tianji City as soon as possible, while Li Yu wanted to go to the imperial capital with Li Jin and Li Qinqin.

Li Jin and Li Qinqin stayed in Danjin City for too long. If they didn't set off for the imperial capital, they might not have time to join other people and participate in the preliminaries of the imperial capital's Continental Young Pet Master Contest.

"Mr. Li Jin." Xu Li hesitated for a while, and finally ran over, "I thought that you and sister Xiaoqin would go back to Tianji City with me, but I didn't expect you to go to the imperial capital..."

Li Jin patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "It's okay, maybe after a while, we will meet in the imperial capital. By then, you will be the noble second prince of the empire."

"Master Li Jin..." Xu Li looked at Li Jin, hesitant to speak.

Li Jin looked at him a little strangely, until the end, Xu Li could only hold back a sentence: "Thank you... Take care all the way."

"Thank you for what?" Li Qinqin tilted her head, "A Li, take care of yourself along the way."

Xu Li nodded and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaoqin is too."

"A Li, it's time for us to go." Uncle Tang Shirong walked over not far away, "Everyone, please be careful when you go to the imperial capital."

Li Jin returned the salute to Tang Shirong, then nodded to Xu Li: "Go."

Xu Li nodded slightly, turned and left.After walking a few steps, he turned around again: "Young Master Li Jin."

"What?" Li Jin looked at Xu Li.

"I, I, I... will definitely work harder!" After speaking, Xu Li turned and ran away.

Tang Shirong saw all this in his eyes, with a complex and incomprehensible look on his face.

"This little love rival...is he demonstrating against me?" Li Jin rubbed his nose with mixed emotions in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and said to Li Qinqin beside him.

Li Qinqin gave him a blank look: "What have you been thinking about all day! Let's go!" After finishing speaking, little Lolita ran to Li Yu's side, not knowing what to say.

After Tang Shirong bid farewell to everyone again, he got into the carriage.A group of dragoons escorted him and Xu Li, and they headed northwest.

Zhou Yixuan walked to Li Jin's side: "Xiao Jin, why haven't you seen Master Li since yesterday?"

"He told me that he took the hundred miles and thousands of miles ahead and went to the imperial capital." Li Jin nonsense said, "Brother Xuan, little brother is ready to go now."

"Master is really a dragon who never sees the end. My parents haven't thanked him for his kindness in curing Xiaoqing!" Zhou Yixuan smiled and waved his hands, "You don't need to say goodbye to me. Xiaoke is going to go to the imperial capital with you. It’s good to have someone to take care of you on the way, right?”

"Brother Xuan is going to participate in the imperial capital too?" Li Qinqin asked in surprise.

Zhou Yixuan nodded: "Originally, my Zhou family has never participated in the Young Pet Master Competition. After all, the grain road is also very busy. But this time, I have to go and see it."

"In this case, Brother Zhou will go with us, it's best." At this time, Li Yu who was pulled over by Li Qinqin also spoke lightly.

"Brother Yu, why are you the only one bringing so many people here?" Li Jin turned to look at Li Yu.

"Only I stayed in Danjin City for a while. The entire dragon cavalry army, except for some who stayed to watch the house, the rest were all broken up and went to the imperial capital." Li Yu explained, and then looked at him in surprise. Li Jin, "Xiao Jin, have you advanced to the fourth rank?"

Li Jin rubbed his nose and nodded: "The thing that happened not long ago was helped by an old senior, otherwise the barrier of cultivation would be enough for me."

Li Yu nodded: "That's right, I've advanced to the fourth rank so quickly."

At this time, Zhou Ming also came over: "Everyone, the dry food carriage and everything is ready for you, and you can leave at any time. However, going to the imperial capital is dangerous and unpredictable, so you should be careful."

Li Yu cupped his hands and said: "Everything in the rear, I have to trouble Shi Bo to worry about it."

"It's easy to say, it should be like this." Zhou Ming laughed.

"Then let's set off now." Li Yu looked at the people beside him, and nodded at Zhou Ming again.

After finishing speaking, Li Jin, Li Qinqin, Li Yu and Zhou Yixuan got on their horses, bid farewell to everyone, and rode Juechen to the east of the city.They will pass through the city, leave the city from the east gate, and continue along the Hanyan official road to the imperial capital.
