Chapter 851: When a Tree Grows Big, It Needs Many Branches

    

d that once they've decided on this yard, they can immediately process the paperwork.The price is very cheap, only 800 taels. This is practically a bargain.This area is very close to the East City. Of...Two guards jumped in surprise and subconsciously straightened their backs.

One person bowed and asked, "General, what brings you here"

Needless to say, this general was naturally Li Lao Si.

He bowed in return, the metal plates of his armor clanging softly.

An invisible aura of iron-clad killing intent seemed to permeate the air, causing the two guards to become even more respectful and deferential.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. My nephew is imprisoned, and I want to visit him. Could you possibly help me out"

Li Laosi was very polite. The soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and slipped a piece of silver into the hands of each of the two officers.

Two guards held the silver, wanting to take it but afraid to.

One of the guards asked, "Which one does the general want to visit We should report it to the jailer..."

Li Laosi said, "My nephew's name is Li Jiayi!"

"Ah! It's General Li Si!"

Here comes the triumphant Northern Expeditionary Army, led by General Li Si!

Both guards' eyes lit up, and they quickly pocketed the silver.

One led Li Lao Si slowly, while the other ran ahead to send a message.

Li Lao Si's personal guard, two men followed into the courtyard, the rest stayed at the gate, standing in for the two clerks.

The jailer happened to be out with something to do, and the guards on duty couldn't find anyone for a moment. So they gritted their teeth and said a few words to their brothers before directly leading Li Lao Si into the prison.

"General Li Si, Young General Li is in the innermost cell. Just go there." A guard obsequiously bowed and gestured with his hand.

Li Lao Si nodded and thanked him, giving his bodyguard a knowing look.

Two soldiers immediately pulled the constables aside and spoke to them.

The officers, due to their duties, hadn't gone to see the commotion just now and were quite curious.

Soon, the two sides were laughing and having a good time.

Jia Yi lived with the "Grass Demon" for several days.

We eat and drink together, sleep together, even fight together. I've figured out this roommate of mine - he's a martial arts expert who got injured in the head!

It is said that because he was muddled in the head, he couldn't find his way home. He stole chickens in the north of the city, accidentally injured the owner's family, and had no money to compensate, so he was thrown in here...

Jiāyì thought of his uncle who had been unable to return home when he left, and felt a bit sorry for him.

At this moment, he was secretly using a dagger to shave the "Weed Spirit's" hair.

I hadn't even had time to finish my morning routine when I saw my fourth uncle standing outside the door.

"Four...Four Uncle!" Jiayì jumped up directly, exclaiming in surprise.

Li Lao Si looked his nephew up and down.

After more than two years, the former mischievous boy has also grown into a man. He is tall and strong, with an air of confidence.

Perhaps he had been staying here for a few days, enjoying good food and drink, looking healthy and rosy-cheeked, with not a trace of suffering on his face.

He breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted his nephew's shoulder through the fence, teasingly saying, "You little rascal, you really made the family angry this time. When you get out, your grandma will probably whack you with her smoking pipe."

Jia Yi wanted to pull Fourth Uncle down to sit, but when he was halfway squatting, he realized this place was a prison, the floor dirty and damp.

But Old Four Li didn't mind. He pulled him down and sat him up, then untied a goatskin pouch from his waist and unscrewed the stopper.

He took a sip and passed the cup to Jia Yi.

Jiayi was overjoyed and quickly took a big gulp. After finishing, he let out a satisfied sigh and complained, "The food sent from home is great, but there's no wine! It's driving me crazy with thirst!"

Li Laosi rolled his eyes and cursed, "You dare to drink in this place, don't you want to die!"

Jīyì giggled and whispered, "Fourth Uncle, rest assured, I'm always on guard."

“Huang and I took turns guarding the night, my sister also brought me a lot of things in, even if something happened, I wouldn't be at a disadvantage.”

Having said that, he pointed at the bald "Grass Wimp" and said, "This is Lao Huang. He has a brain problem and can't speak much, but his skills are really good. He practices with me every day, haha."

Old Huang stared intently at the liquor bag in Jia Yi's hand. When Jia Yi turned his back, he reached out and snatched the bag away, gulping it down.

Jiā was in a hurry to rush back, and finally got there, the liquor had already run out half way. He was so angry that he kicked Lao Huang.

Lao Huang wasn't annoyed. He lay on the ground, propping his head up with his arm, and savoring the moment contentedly.

Li Lao Si looked amused.

The nephew is really bold, he can still make friends even after going to jail…

Remember to tell your mother when you get home, so she won't worry.

Jiayisheng, afraid of being robbed again, quickly finished the rest of the drink and wiped his mouth before saying, “Fourth Uncle, don’t worry. I killed that boy from the Wu family after careful consideration, not impulsively.”

First, the Wu family is cunning and our Li family only going to the emperor to report them won't be enough to deter those with ill intentions.

"I killed the Wu family boy on the street, that is, the so-called uncle of the emperor. People will be afraid, after all, our Li family has a fool who dares to kill even an uncle of the emperor!"

Secondly...

Before Wang could continue, Li Laosi had already taken over the conversation.

"Furthermore, I made my achievements in Jiangbei while you distinguished yourself in the Hai Lan Army.

“We are two meritorious officials, and with the Marquis, you’re afraid of incurring that person's suspicion. That’s why you plan to use this incident to atone for your past deeds, allowing our family to take a step back, isn’t that right”

Jia Yi chuckled, scratching his messy hair. "It's not entirely like that. I'm afraid that if he found out about it, he would keep me in Kyoto. I still want to go back and kill the Japanese pirates!"

It doesn't matter if I'm a general or a soldier, as long as I can kill the Japanese pirates. Fourth Uncle, you don't know this, the Japanese pirates are even more vicious than barbarians!

The Japanese pirates were cruel and cunning, causing great havoc for the people of Quanzhou, destroying many homes and families. This is a deep-seated blood feud!

"It was my uncle's two ships in Quanzhou that were almost seized by the pirates, I swear to exterminate the pirates and bring peace back to the people of Quanzhou!"

He looked rather excited, paused for a moment and continued, “Brother Xi and Brother An haven’t returned yet. I must stay here by the sea to welcome them home…”

Thinking of his son and nephew, who were lost somewhere out there, Lao Si's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he quickly masked it.

He nodded and said to his nephew, “Among family, I won’t bother with formalities.”

First, this Wu kid did a good job killing him. Think about how poor Fu Niuer was wronged. As her father, I wasn't there. I would like to chop up the entire Wu family into mincemeat!

Secondly, this northern campaign has advanced another 300 miles compared to before. Next year, with a concerted effort, we can drive the barbarians all the way back to their grasslands and reclaim our lost territories.

"When the time comes, I'll retire from the army and go home to be filial to your grandmother, or go out to find Xi Ge’er and An Ge’er."

Just go all out and kill the Japanese pirates. No matter how great your achievements, don't worry, it will all be a credit to your family.

Besides, I'll discuss this with your uncle and father. We'll gradually transfer a portion of the family assets to the south as a fallback plan.

Jia Yi's brow furrowed, and she instinctively looked in the direction of the palace.

Li Laosi patted his nephew, "Don't worry, nothing is wrong for now. But life is unpredictable, people change easily, it's always better to be prepared. "

"Besides, the large branches of the tree, our Li family's four rooms, can't always stay together..."the princess was feigning illness!His face darkened even further. He waved his hand, dismissing the imperial physician, then roared, “What’s going on Someone explain it to me! If none of you can figur...
