Tibet

Chapter 75
Someone kicked him with flying feet from behind, and the speed was very fast. The effect of Li Ye's hard training under the water was vividly reflected at this moment. He was not in a hurry, his body was slightly turned to one side, and he kicked back with his feet, at least three times faster than the opponent. times.

"Ah!" The other party cried out in pain, and was kicked a foot away by him.

Fortunately, he kept a sense of proportion and did not increase his strength, otherwise the other party's bones would have to be broken by his kick.

Only then did Li Ye see the other person clearly. He was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and strong, but he was wearing a brocade robe, a leather belt around his waist, and a black scarf on his forehead, with a crescent moon in the middle Shaped scars, very characteristic.

Li Ye's kick was very measured. The young man was not injured, but he was very embarrassed. He was kicked back a few steps and sat on the ground.

The young man became furious, got up and roared, drawing his sword to charge forward.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the mansion, and he shouted, "Stop!"

The young man resentfully put away his sword, glared at Li Ye again, and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle, I found the thief who stole the ancestral hall!"

Li Ye said angrily: "Are there any little thieves who come to return stolen goods in this world?"

The middle-aged man also saw the three items on the steps, exclaimed, and quickly stepped forward to take a closer look. It was indeed the few items lost by the ancestral hall.

He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Is this from the young master?"

"Of course, I spent a lot of money to buy this. I found out that it belonged to your mansion, so I came here to return it. I didn't expect the master not to see it, but I learned the family tradition of your mansion first!"

The middle-aged man apologized, and then angrily scolded the young man: "You are already a dignified palace guard, how long will you be reckless? Why don't you come and apologize!"

The young man also realized that he was too reckless. When he saw the ancestor's iron vertebra, his blood surged for a moment, and he regarded the other party as a thief. The others came to return the Cheng family's lost property.

His face was flushed with swelling, he stepped forward and cupped his fists and said: "I was reckless just now, I apologize to the young master!"

Li Ye saw that although he was reckless, he was not overbearing, and the anger in his heart disappeared, so he asked with concern: "Did that kick just now hurt Xiongtai?"

The young man blushed even more, but he was able to hold it and let it go, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "My brother is so handsome!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Cheng Ruobing next time, this is my nephew Cheng Changyin, please sit in the house, my lord!"

"So it's Patriarch Cheng, I'm Li Ye, excuse me!"

Li Ye picked up a pair of incense burners, and the young man Cheng Changyin hurried forward to pick up the iron pillars, and they entered the mansion together.

Cheng Ruobing invited Li Ye to sit in the living room. During this period of time, Li Ye also knelt and sat in King Si Ning, and he gradually got used to it. Of course, sitting for a long time is still not enough.

Cheng Ruobing asked the maid to serve tea. He pointed to the three items on the table and asked, "Where did you find them, my lord?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Could you tell me first how they were lost?"

Cheng Ruobing sighed and said, "These three items are belongings of our ancestors, and they have been kept in Cheng's ancestral hall. Three years ago, the ancestral hall caught fire and burned down. Later, when we checked the items, we found that these three items were missing. It is estimated that someone took them away indiscriminately." We have inquired everywhere, but there is no whereabouts of it."

Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "I bought this for ten coins in a blacksmith's shop, and it almost melted."

"It's only ten pennies!"

Cheng Changyin next to him couldn't help but said: "Don't Mr. Li know..."

He suddenly found his uncle glaring at him, and shut up quickly.

Li Ye said indifferently: "Of course I know, they are made of silver, a total of more than [-] catties, but the blacksmith mistook them for copper wares, and probably the little thief at that time also thought they were bronze wares, and I finally picked up a big bargain. "

Cheng Ruobing hurriedly said: "I will definitely compensate you according to the value of silver!"

Li Ye shook his head, "No need, just give me ten pennies."

Cheng Ruobing was stunned, "This...how embarrassing!"

Li Ye picked up the iron spine and smiled: "This is Lingzu's founding weapon! Although it is iron, but without it, there would be no pictures of Lingzu in the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that it is only worth a penny? There is an incense burner, this is an imperial seal! Can imperial seals be counted according to their weight?"

Cheng Ruobing was really ashamed that the other party was righteous, but he thought that the other party wanted to take advantage.

He got up and bowed again, "The Cheng family owes you a great favor. As long as you are in trouble, the Cheng family will do their best. As the head of the family, I will make this promise!"

That's about the same, Li Ye cupped his fists and said with a smile: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will meet again later, and Li Ye bids farewell!"

Li Ye said goodbye and left, Cheng Ruobing and his nephew kept sending him out of the house, watching Li Ye ride away on a donkey.

Cheng Ruobing sighed softly, "This boy is not an ordinary person!"

"Uncle, is he still a boy?"

Cheng Ruobing glared at him, "You are 17 years old, and he called you brother, aren't you still a teenager? Probably fourteen or fifteen years old at most."

"He is indeed very good at martial arts, but I actually..." Cheng Changyin blushed and couldn't continue.

"I said he is not an ordinary person. I don't mean the level of martial arts, but his knowledge, his mind, and his wisdom. He knows very well that those three items are worth a lot to our Cheng family, but he only needs ten. Spending money, this is not something ordinary people can do!"

"But. We didn't give him the ten pennies he asked for."

"Stupid! I promised him in the name of the Patriarch, what does he need ten pennies for?"

Cheng Ruobing knew very well that when the other party mentioned the imperial seal twice, he was implying to himself that the Cheng family actually lost the imperial seal, which was a serious crime for seizing the title.

This favor is not so easy to repay, Cheng Ruobing is really worried, he doesn't know the background of the other party, and he doesn't know what kind of request the other party will make?
Cheng Ruobing secretly sighed in his heart, and had to put this matter aside for the time being.

He said to Cheng Changyin: "You take the things and follow me to the ancestral hall, and quickly replace the things!"

The Cheng family lost the imperial seal and was afraid of being traced by the palace, so they made a pair of incense burners. Now that the real thing is back, they have to replace the fake incense burner and destroy it. If the emperor finds out about this, the Cheng family will be overwhelmed. Walk.

The reason why Cheng Ruobing made a big promise to Li Ye was because both parties knew the importance of this incense burner, and the other party solved a major hidden danger for the Cheng family.

The uncle and nephew hurried to the ancestral hall with the incense burner and the iron cone.

Li Ye returned to Changlefang, but accidentally saw Qiao Bin standing at the door of his mother's medical center.

Li Ye asked in surprise, "Abin, why are you here?"

"Brother Li, you are finally back!" Qiao Bin greeted him happily.

"How did you find it here?"

Qiao Bin scratched his head and said: "I went to Yonghefang to look for you, and found that you had moved, and I found Zhang Xiaopang again, and he said that you have moved to Changlefang, and he didn't know where, so I came to Changlefang to look for you." , I wanted to try my luck, and happened to see Aunt Pei's clinic."

Li Ye nodded and smiled, "Are you in a hurry to find me?"

"It was my father who asked me to come to you. He invited you to visit the palace tomorrow morning. The prince has something to do with you!"

"I see, let's go eat something and have a drink!"

Li Ye hasn't had lunch yet, he is really hungry.

Although there are no shops on the street in Chang'an, and there are square walls on both sides, the inside of the square is quite different.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the main street. Although the shops are small, they are very down-to-earth. They cover basic necessities such as food, clothing, housing and medicine. Therefore, even if the doors of the workshops are closed at night, ordinary people can't lack anything.

From morning to night, the shops on both sides of the street are bustling and lively.

Li Ye took Qiao Bin to a small restaurant called A Yang, where their family of three had dinner last night.

The tavern is very small, with only four tables. The two sat down at a small table inside. Li Ye ordered a pot of wine and ordered three dishes, one plate of roasted venison, one plate of braised crucian carp, and one plate of stewed meat. Three delicacies, and two more bowls of rice.

This meal is only [-] Wen, which is not enough for a single dish in a big tavern, but you can have a meal in a workshop.

Li Ye poured Qiao Bin a glass of wine and asked with a smile, "Still studying?"

Qiao Bin nodded, "It takes three years to study in Chang'an County, and this year is the first year."

"After finishing the county school?"

"After finishing the county school, I went to the prefectural school for two years, and then my father wanted to find a relationship to let me go to the Taixue. After I graduated from the Taixue, it would be easy to enter the county government and become the Seventh Cao Zuoguan."

"Don't want to take the imperial examination?"

Qiao Bin smiled wryly, "I don't have that ability, so I'm sure I won't pass the exam, so my father doesn't plan to waste time, and let me go directly to Taixue to study."

Li Ye picked up the wine glass and drank it down, then asked with a smile, "Is this the life your father planned for you?"

Qiao Bin nodded, "My dad always said, plan ahead while you're young."

Qiao Bin served Li Yeman a glass of wine and asked, "Brother Li, is he going to play polo all the time?"

Li Ye shook his head, "It's only a year or two at most. I play polo just to make some quick money, but it's meaningless to start a career with it."

"That's right, you can play polo when you're an official, but you can't be an official if you play polo, so does Brother Li have a plan?"

In fact, Li Ye really had no idea, Aunt Mu said, becoming Li Linfu's grandson, he could become an official, but Li Linfu had sixty or seventy grandsons, and he was 48 Lang, not his son, so how could it be his turn to be an official?

"I'm still thinking about it, but the top priority now is to play polo and earn some quick money!"

　The ancients attached great importance to promises, especially scholars, they all paid attention to promises and promises.

　　Since Cheng Ruobing had promised Li Ye, he would not break his promise because of Li Ye's humble background.

　　This is actually a kind of self-cultivation of scholars, keeping their promises.

　　To this day, the promises made by our country will definitely be realized. This is a kind of humanistic historical inheritance.

　　Instead of breaking promises like Westerners.
