Tibet

Chapter 343 Unfulfilled ambition
Li Xiu and Li Dai went into the room to visit their father together.

In a very quiet room, the windows were open, and the warm afternoon sun shone into the room. Li Linfu lay quietly on the sickbed, looking at the snowflakes dancing outside the window. He stopped the maid from closing the window several times.

In the last few days, he wanted to take another look at this world that he was so nostalgic for.

Li Linfu's cheeks were sunken, his face was sallow and dry, his eyes had become cloudy, and only a handful of bones remained in his body.

He could still move his hands slightly, but he didn't feel anything below his chest. He looked exhausted, and he didn't even have the energy to speak.

At this time, Li Xiu and Li Dai came in and knelt down in front of him. Li Linfu turned his head and looked at them, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He rarely saw two brothers appearing in front of him at the same time.

"How about the separation?" Li Linfu asked in a very low voice.

"Reporting to father, it's almost done, and the family division is completely in accordance with father's request."

Li Linfu nodded, then asked Li Dai in a low voice, "Where's Yeer? What are you doing?"

Li Dai hurriedly said respectfully: "Reporting to father, Ye'er just came back, he was worried that Wu Ying would retaliate against us, so he did everything possible to hunt him down."

"it is good!"

Li Linfu said with difficulty: "Be careful of Yuwen's family."

Li Xiu's face suddenly became extremely ugly. The fifth younger brother told him just now that the incident of slaughtering farmers in Heyang County was probably the revenge of Yuwen's family, and his father knew about it!

"We must be careful!"

At this time, Li Xiu said: "We want to confirm one thing with father, has father decided to hand over Lancui Tower to Ye'er to inherit?"

This matter is very important. If the Lancuilou collection is buried with his father, everyone will have nothing to say, but if they are not buried with him, everyone will stare at him. Even Li Xiu can't make the decision, so there must be a written will from his father .

Li Linfu moved his forehead, and Li Xiu immediately understood, and took out a flat box from under his father's pillow.

Li Linfu took a breath and said, "No. [-]!"

Opening the box, there were ten letters inside, numbered on them, Li Xiu and Li Dai's hearts were pounding, and they realized at the same time that these were ten suicide notes from their father.

They took out the fifth envelope, but it was sealed with varnish, and once opened, it could not be restored.

"Don't open it!"

Li Linfu said with difficulty: "The incense and porcelain from Lancui Pavilion are buried with you, and Ye'er will inherit the rest!"

Only then did the two understand that their father had left a will, which clarified the ownership of Lancui Pavilion, only famous incense and porcelain were buried with him, and Li Ye inherited the rest.

"We got it!"

Li Linfu said to Li Dai again: "I want to see Ye'er before he leaves."

"Boy, let him see grandpa tonight."

Li Linfu nodded slightly. He still had one last wish, which he could only say when he saw Li Ye.

Li Xiu immediately agreed to Li Dai, and according to his father's will, he handed over Lancui Tower to Li Ye to inherit.

Of course, he had a premise in mind, for the sake of Li Ye being able to save his son, if he couldn't save his son, he might not carry out his father's will.

The two then came to Lancui Pavilion, which is a four-story green tower, guarded by an old lady.
The old woman is called Liuzhu, and everyone calls her Granny Liuzhu. She is about 60 years old. She has been Li Linfu's personal maid and bodyguard since she was a child. They all died when they were young, and Liuzhu began to believe in Buddhism. Li Linfu simply asked her to guard his Treasure Pavilion for 40 years.

Liu Zhu's back was slightly bent, but her steps were still very agile. She opened the door and asked, "Is the eldest son okay?"

Li Xiu asked: "Did my father tell my mother-in-law what to do with the possessions in Lancui Pavilion?"

Liuzhu nodded, "He told me last year, and it will be passed on to 38 Lang to inherit."

It turned out that the arrangement was really made, Li Xiu sighed and said, "I just found out that my father said that the incense and porcelain will be left for him to take away."

"I packed them one by one, and they can be separated out. It took me a year to register and pack them one by one, and they can be taken away at any time."

Li Dai said: "At that time, I will transport them to the second mansion, and my mother-in-law will go there together."

Liuzhu nodded, and closed the door unceremoniously. Li Linfu had a rule that his sons were not allowed to enter the Lancui Pavilion unless they were transporting them. No one knew what was hidden inside?
Li Xiu wanted to see the inventory at first, but Liu Zhu didn't give him a chance at all.

He could only sigh in his heart, and said to Li Dai: "I agreed to 38 Lang's conditions, what is he going to do?"

Li Dai shook his head, "I don't know the details, but I guess he will start with Gao Lishi!"

Li Xiu cheered up, and if Gao Lishi was willing to help, his son would have the hope of reducing the crime.

At dusk, Li Dai brought his son Li Ye to the main house. The third son Li Yu immediately got the news and hurried to find the second son Li Ling. Both of them were court officials, but they had been adjusted by Yang Guozhong. Li Yu was originally Taichang Shaoqing. Now he has been appointed Doctor Zanshan of the Eastern Palace, and Li Ling has been transferred from the very powerful Si Chu Lang to Sima of Di Wangfu.

Both of them became pensioners, but they both resigned to their fate and stayed in the mansion all day doing nothing. These days, they were more like black chicken eyes staring at the branch family, for fear that they would miss a bite.

"Second brother, that 38th Lang is here, probably to visit his father."

Li Yan frowned, "Why did the eldest brother allow him to enter the door?"

"I'm also very surprised, I heard that the eldest brother is following behind!"

Li Yu looked around, and said in a low voice: "I also heard that the eldest brother is going to move here, are you going to give up the second house to the fifth brother?"

Li Yan's eyes rolled straightly. In fact, he knew that as long as the family is separated, the second house must be given up. His father's attitude is very tough, and it will be a matter of time before the elder brother moves back.

But Li Ling was planning Li Dai's yard in the main house. The two-acre yard, once Li Dai moved to the second house, the yard had to belong to him.

"Third brother, there is something I have to tell you clearly. I have many children and the house is really not enough to live in. The yard of the fifth child will belong to me."

"How can this work? I have a lot of children, and I'm about to get married soon. I don't even have a wedding room."

"Don't you have two small courtyards outside?"

"I bought it with my own money. It has nothing to do with this. Anyway, you can't monopolize it, or you can compensate me elsewhere!"

The two brothers started fighting
At this time, Li Ye was already kneeling in front of his grandfather, holding his withered hand. Li Ye felt sad for a while, as his grandfather was almost at the end.

Li Linfu slowly opened his eyes, seeing that it was his grandson Li Ye, a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry. I can last a year and a half. I just don't care about them"

Li Linfu fought with others all his life, and at the end of his life, he was still fighting secretly with his sons.

But Li Ye could tell that his grandfather's voice was very low, and his speech was intermittent. It would be impossible for a year or a half, two or three months at most.

"Grandson is going west in one and a half months. Does grandfather have anything to say?"

"Li Yu is incompetent and proud. Give your grandfather some face and take care of him properly."

Li Ye nodded, Li Linfu struggled and said, "Close the door!"

Li Ye got up and closed the door, only the two of them were in the room.

Li Linfu struggled and said: "When I was young, Master Yuan Ke used to look at me. He said that I would be an extremely personable minister, and that my descendants would be in trouble. If I can survive the catastrophe, it will be very expensive."

The words were too long, and Li Linfu couldn't catch his breath, panting, he waved his hand to tell Li Ye not to interrupt himself, and calm down a little, he said again: "Ten days later, Master Yuan Ke will become a fairy, and he will leave it to his disciples. In a word, after one year, the Hu demon will appear, the world will be in chaos, and the new master will appear, one year will be now, Yeer, do you understand?"

Li Ye nodded, "Hu Yao should refer to Anlu Mountain!"

"An Lushan is a Hu demon, I can suppress the demon...Yang Guozhong can't, after I die...the world will be chaotic!"

Li Ye held his grandfather's hand and said calmly, "Grandpa, and me!"

Li Linfu held his grandson's hand tightly, and there was a strange light in his eyes. His lips trembled, and he said in a very low voice: "If possible, give me the temple name Wenzong."

This is the secret that Li Linfu has kept in his heart all his life, and it is also his last wish.

Li Ye nodded slowly.

Two turbid old tears flowed from Li Linfu's dry eyes.
