Chapter 12
Several people chatted for a while, in fact, it was mainly the old seven who chatted vigorously, Shi Qi occasionally answered a few words, the little eight held a teacup to sip tea, and smiled from time to time, as for the boss, there was no sound at all, there was very low.
After a while, the servant's greeting and another person's very light footsteps came from outside. If these people were not all martial arts practitioners, it would be difficult to detect it for a while.
"Master, please come inside." The servant led the way, and when he reached the door of the private room of Xiaoba and the others, he stopped and bowed his head and waited aside, "Master, this is it."
Li Fuliu thanked the servant, and waited for him to walk away before pushing the door open and entering.
Several people in the room hurriedly stood up and knelt down, bowed their heads with fists folded, and said in unison: "I have seen the young master."
Li Fuliu waved his hands, "There is no need to be polite, let's all sit down." After speaking, he sat down on the stool in front of him, several people saw this without formality, and sat back on their seats.
Xiao Ba raised his hand to make tea, placed it respectfully in front of Li Fuliu, and waited for Li Fuliu to speak with the others.
Li Fuliu fumbled in his sleeve for a while, then took out four incomplete bronze tokens and displayed them on the table one by one.
Seeing this, several people were all shocked.
"Young Master, what do you mean?" After a period of silence, Seventeen was the first to speak. The frank and forthright Seventh opened his mouth wide in shock but was speechless. He could only stare blankly at the tokens. Frowning tightly, even the unsmiling boss' eyes began to flicker at this time.
Everyone knew that the four incomplete tokens on the table corresponded to their own tokens.When he first joined the Dark Guard, the token was divided into two parts, one half belonged to the Dark Guard, and the other half was owned by the successive Patriarchs of the Li family.For the hidden guard, it is a symbol of the hidden guard of the Li family; for the head of the Li family, it is the ownership and control of the hidden guard.Only when the Patriarch of the Li family decides not to control the dark guard anymore, will he return the token he holds to the dark guard.
At this time, Li Fuliu took out the token, the meaning of which even Lao Qi had guessed, Li Fuliu wanted to disband the Li family's secret guards!
"Today, I, Li Fuliu, return the token to you as the Patriarch of the Li family. After that, you will no longer be bound by the Li family oath." Li Fuliu pushed the token forward.
"Here, young master..." Xiaoba's voice trembled slightly. He chose to be loyal to the Li family because the Li family took him in when he had no way out, gave him a warm shelter, and made his talents useful The land of martial arts, and the other people who became dark guards were also dark guards who were taken in by the Li family for various reasons.None of them were forced, and it can even be said that they have always been favored by the Li family.At this moment, he suddenly wanted to let himself go, and he naturally felt uncomfortable.
"However, there is one last thing to ask everyone. After the last thing is done, everyone will be free." Li Fuliu said calmly. He knew the feelings of these hidden guards for the Li family, but now that he wanted to withdraw, There is no room for it.
"Young master, despite your orders, we will be ashamed!" Only now did Lao Qi come to his senses, but the majestic man couldn't help but turn red-eyed.
The rest of the people also responded one after another.
"It's sure to be heartbreaking!"
Li Fuliu was relieved, looked at the four people and said slowly: "The current situation, I'm afraid it will change soon."
The four were solemn, it was really for this matter, it seemed that the young master was going to intervene.
"I have already ignored the disputes in the world, but now someone wants to involve the Li family, so I have no choice but to intervene."
Except for Xiao Ba, the rest of them were all shocked.The Li family has been keeping secrets, few people know the real identity of the Li family, and now someone wants to touch the Li family.Xiao Baben knew the situation in Jiangnan like the palm of his hand, and he knew it should be from the Song family after a little guesswork.
"Young master, my seventh son will protect the Li family even if he is desperate! Just tell me if you have something to do!" The seventh son said in a rough voice, thinking that someone was going to harm the Li family.
Li Fuliu smiled slightly, "I'm the only one left in the Li family now, so it's too late to talk about completeness." These were solemn words, but Li Fuliu said them without a hint of sadness, and the four of them felt bitter when they heard them.
"Lao Qi, I'm leaving for Shuzhong in a few days, you should make arrangements."
"Yes." Lao Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately responded.
"Boss, how about the Northwest Army?"
"Available." The boss, who had never spoken, spoke at this moment, looking at Li Fuliu seriously.
"Okay, the Northwest Army is on standby, ready for any eventuality."
"Yes."
"Seventeen, you are located in the Central Plains, you must ensure that the spies from all directions come and go in a timely manner, and the movements in Beijing and Central Plains must be spread to Jiangnan as soon as possible."
"Yes." Seventeen took the order.
Li Fuliu looked at Xiao Ba, instead of giving orders directly, he took out another red gold token from his bosom, with a fan-shaped pattern painted on the front, anyway, it was a five-clawed golden dragon glaring at the clouds!
"You find a safe subordinate to give the token of Xiaoba to Zhao Gan, King Dingnan of Jinling, and he will understand it when he sees it. As for the future, it depends on whether he is willing to cooperate with us." Li Fuliu handed the token Give it to Xiao Ba, who quickly took it with both hands.
"There is one more thing you need to do yourself."
"Young Master, just give orders." Xiao Ba stared.
"Now that Mo Ming has something to go back to Beijing, you still need you to protect the people around me." Li Fuliu said the last few words slowly, Xiao Ba immediately understood.The others may not know, but when Li Fuliu first came to Jiangnan, Xiaoba passed on the news and secretly protected him. It was not until Mo Ming came that he did almost everything about Li Fuliu himself, and Xiaoba passed the news to Mo Ming again. From Mo Ming to Li Fuliu, the matter of protection is naturally handed over to Mo Ming.
Li Fuliu assigned tasks in an orderly and clear manner, and left without saying much.
The four also took their orders, and when they left, they calmly took away the corresponding tokens on the table.
The sun was setting outside, a rare sun for many days, shining on the body with gentle warmth.
Li Fuliu bought some pens and ink along the way and went back. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a person sitting on a bamboo chair in the golden sunlight, with his head tilted, his eyes slightly closed, and a precarious book in his hand, which was neatly drying beside him. painting and calligraphy.
Li Fuliu unconsciously showed a smile, and his heart shone like a warm sun.This is the life I have always wanted, the life I finally got, how can I carelessly maintain it?
Stepping lightly, Li Fuliu walked towards Lian Song slowly.Before he got there, he saw the book in Lian Song's hand "snap" and finally fell, waking up the person who was already in a light sleep.
Lian Song stared blankly at the surroundings with his misty eyes open, apparently not yet recovered, he squinted his eyes when he saw Li Fuliu with smiling eyes, and said softly, "I'm back."
Seeing this, Li Fuliu smiled even more happily, walked up to Lian Song, leaned over and kissed him.
I thought to myself: It will be done soon, and I will wait a little longer and go to Shuzhong, so I don’t have to worry about anything. The rise and fall of any dynasty has nothing to do with me.
