Learn a magical skill every year, and start with Xiao Li Fei Dao

Hearing this.

The master looked at the disciple deeply and said in a joking tone: "Xiao Hu is too smart. In the past eight hundred years, I have never seen such a smart person. Being his master is very stressful. What if he is plotted against? So, I won't accept him!!!"

"If Xiao Hu hadn't died, he would have been very sad to hear what the teacher said!"

Zhu Li said with a smile.

He certainly didn't believe it. After all, his own teacher was invincible in the world. He was not afraid of the only saint in the world, the ancient saint, so how could he be afraid of a young Xiao Hu.

The master looked gentle, looked at the disciple, and said with a smile: "A gentleman can be deceived by a method."

Hearing this, Zhu Li was stunned. As a ninth-rank scholar, he naturally understood the meaning of this sentence. It means that the gentleman's character is upright, and others can use this to deal with this kind of people.

"Teacher, you mean that you don't accept Xiao Hu as your disciple, not because you look down on him, but because you think he is too calculating."

"That's right." The master nodded and revealed the truth of ten years ago: "Xiao Hu and Zhao Xiao are both first-class talents in the world. In terms of talent, they are both unpolished jades. I'm afraid that any capable person in the world would like to accept them as disciples.

But... I won't talk about Guanjun Hou, who is arrogant and overbearing. Let's talk about Xiao Hu, he seems to get along with everyone, and every word he says can make people feel comfortable. You can hardly find any shortcomings in him."

"How can a person have no shortcomings? To put it another way, is a person without shortcomings still a person?"

"Teacher, you mean that Xiao Hu is either a very loyal person or a very treacherous person."

"I didn't say anything, you said it."

The master said.

Zhu Li looked at the teacher with some resentment. The teacher was like this. He would not say something that could be explained clearly in one sentence. He would always say something vague and let you understand and guess it yourself. If you couldn't understand it, he would not say it clearly.

"Then, teacher, do you believe that Xiao Hu is really dead?"

Zhu Li said.

The teacher blinked: "Do you believe it?"

... I am asking you, okay?

Zhu Li smiled bitterly and said: "I probably don't believe it. How could a person who is more proficient in calculations than Zhuge Fengyun and is better than his teacher die so easily?"

"My disciple is too naive. He is as stubborn as a cow. As long as he is determined, no one can change it, not even me." The teacher shook his head.

Zhu Li knew that the disciple the teacher was talking about was Xiao Zhan. Only a few people knew that Xiao Zhan had been the teacher's disciple, but he was only a nominal disciple. Moreover, he had only studied for three years before the teacher expelled Xiao Zhan because of one thing.

"So, the teacher expelled Xiao Zhan because..."

He didn't say anything more.

The teacher sighed and said, 'If you don't follow the same path, you can't make plans together.'

"Xiao Zhan's path is to be loyal to the emperor and love the country. It is a blessing for the people to have Xiao Zhan in Daqian." Zhu Li nodded.

...

Left the attic.

Zhu Li went home alone, his eyes showing a thoughtful look. If Xiao Hu was not dead, why didn't he show up? If he was not dead, he should have contacted his family even if he didn't show up. However, everyone in the Xiao family had been monitored by him, and it seemed that no one was abnormal.

Also, with Xiao Hu's character, if he was not dead, he should have saved his brothers and father.

If Xiao Hu survived, he might hide himself, but his other six brothers, if they were still alive, would never hide themselves. Now, none of the seven sons of the Xiao family will come, there is only one possibility, that is:

Xiao Hu may not be dead, but his six brothers are most likely dead.

Zhu Li thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, and shook his head: "Forget it, Xiao Hu's death or not, what does it have to do with me, why do I worry so much!"

After Zhu Li left, the master's eyes fell on the chessboard, dropped a piece, and said softly: "In this world, there are many people playing chess, some people are forced to play, and some take the initiative to play. Everyone thinks that they are chess players, but they don't know that they are just chess pieces in the hands of others."

"Life is like chess."

"All living beings are chess."

The master sighed.

…………

Xiao family.

Yu Yu and Xiao Rong stared at each other.

After staring at each other for more than a minute.

Xiao Rong was the first to lose her patience. She said to Xiao Ping'an in surprise, "Brother, how come you went out and brought back a child? Could it be your illegitimate daughter????"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Ping'anAfter knocking on Xiao Rong's head, if I had an illegitimate daughter, she wouldn't be so big.

"Who is this little girl?" Xiao Rong was curious.

"I saved her..." Xiao Ping'an explained briefly, and then called out, "Tang Qiang."

"Master, I'm here."

Tang Qiang ran over.

"I'll give you a task." Xiao Ping'an said.

"What task?" Tang Qiang was curious.

Xiao Ping'an pointed at Yu Yu and said, "Help her find her family."

Because Yu Yu didn't provide any valuable information, Tang Qiang worked diligently for seven days but still couldn't find Yu Yu's family.

Therefore, this lovely little girl stayed in the Xiao Mansion.

Because of her young age, she had a lot of fun playing with the other three girls in the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Qi, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Shengnan.

In the Xiao family's yard, you can normally hear the little girl's babyish laughter.

Xiao Ping'an felt that this little girl was a little too happy in the Xiao family and didn't want to go home at all.

………

That day.

When Xiao Pingan went out, he found that every household was in a festive mood, with red paper and firecrackers, and it was very lively.

He asked Tang Qiang next to him: "What's going on? Everyone seems very happy today."

Tang Qiang said with some jealousy: "Master, you don't know that the scout sent an urgent message of 800 miles. The Champion Marquis won a victory in Shu and will return triumphantly soon."

"Huh? Didn't he say that this was his first time leading troops to fight? He was able to win. Could he really be the Champion Marquis?" Xiao Pingan was surprised.

You know, the Champion Marquis and he are still enemies.

What would happen if he killed the Champion Marquis? Would the sky fall?

"It is said that in this battle, the Champion Marquis severely injured the sick tiger Fan Wubing. Just a little bit, the sick tiger would die." Tang Qiang said.

Xiao Pingan frowned: "How is it possible? Even my father and seven brothers died at the hands of the sick tiger. How can he defeat the sick tiger????"

"Yeah, I don't believe it either. After all, the master is a perfect master of the upper third rank. Even he died at the hands of the sick tiger. The champion marquis is only a middle third rank master. How could he seriously injure Fan Wubing and almost kill him? However, it is useless for us to not believe it. Now the people in every household are saying so."

"I suspect that the champion marquis deliberately sent people to spread these rumors in order to improve his own reputation!!!!"

Tang Qiang said angrily: "How can he do this? This is too shameless."
