Chapter 175 Farewell(1/2)
Li Li ran to Lu An in a panic and said, "Young Master has really had a big problem!"
Lu An looked at Li Li panting and comforted him, "Sir, have something to say, why are you so excited? What big things can happen here?"
Li Li was so anxious that he was sweating. He frowned and replied nervously: "I am excited now, but you are excited later, you are excited?"
Lu An suddenly felt a little bad and asked hurriedly: "What does this mean by sir?"
"Young Master, this time the opening ceremony of the school, the King of Zhou sent two people to watch the ceremony, one was the second prince Ji Haoyan, and the other was the Grand Zhou national teacher Liang Liang." Li Li swallowed and said nervously.
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Lu An's face and immediately asked, "Confirm?"
Li Li nodded, "Since I learned about this yesterday, Yang'er and I have taken turns to stay here, waiting for the young master to come out, for fear that the young master would come out suddenly, so we accidentally missed it, thus revealing our identity."
Lu An took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm down his heart. "Fortunately, you came to remind me, otherwise I might be recognized by someone if I look like this." After saying this, he immediately put on the mask and took two deep breaths again.
"Is there any Yunzhou tonight?" Lu An asked with his eyes trembling.
Li Li was surprised when he heard this. The young master who had never been afraid in his eyes began to panic at this time, and he actually planned to escape overnight, which really surprised him.
"Now there is no more, there may be noon tomorrow." Li Li replied.
Lu An could only nod his head helplessly, his face was gloomy and began to pace back and forth like Li Li.
"What should I do now, young master?" Li Li asked.
To be honest, Lu An is very nervous now.
The longer you come into contact with the master, the stronger you will know how strong the master is, and how big the gap is with the master.
Even though he knew that the other party was a master, he would never confront him head-on, because this was undoubtedly a dead end and had no chance of life.
In addition, I am still in Dazhou now, and I am not familiar with the place, so no one will come to help me.
Although I am now located in Chengjun Academy and there are several powerful masters here, how can I be sure that they are not on the same front? Even if I do not stand on the same front and am not a student of the Academy, the Academy cannot stand opposite to the National Master of the Great Zhou for its sake, which is inconsistent with the interests of the Academy.
Therefore, I am almost certain that Chengjun Academy will never be on its own side. It will probably remain neutral and not participate.
In other words, there is no other way than to escape.
Fortunately, I have always been hiding my identity. Liang Liang should not know that he is here in Chengjun Academy, so he should be able to leave here quietly.
Lu An felt relieved when he thought of this and took a breath.
But suddenly I remembered something again, and a sense of crisis arose. I had just done something stupid not long ago and actually took the initiative to find Wei Xi to reveal his whereabouts. Although Wei Xi promised that he would not disclose his whereabouts, he should not trust him so easily.
Wei Xiu was a member of the Yulin Guard and must have stood with the Grand Master of the Great Zhou. Maybe he had already informed Liang Liang of his whereabouts, so after Liang Liang knew his whereabouts, he immediately came to Chengjun Academy.
Because he was here too coincidental, it was really too coincidental that he had to arouse such suspicion.
Lu An sighed heavily, very annoyed, and sold himself for a little money.
"What's wrong with you, young master?" Li Li began to feel panic when he looked at Lu An's expression.
Lu An tried his best to calm down and said slowly: "My whereabouts may have been exposed now. Maybe there are many people outside ambushing them and are waiting for him."
"Ah? No, right? The young master never exposed his whereabouts from beginning to end. How did they discover it?" Li Li asked in confusion.
Lu Angan sighed, "It's just my fault that I was accidentally exposed. I will leave in the cloud boat tomorrow, and I can't stay here anymore."
Li Li nodded, "That's all. The earlier you leave, the safer it will be. Tomorrow will be the opening ceremony. There are many people, so it's a good idea to leave while there is a bustling crowd."
Lu An nodded, "Is the school ceremony tomorrow the opening ceremony? I have forgotten this matter even if you don't say it. Wei Yang finally entered the school openly, and the sir can also say that he got what he wanted."
Li Li nodded, then walked closer, saluted Lu An, and bowed deeply.
Lu An was so scared that he quickly turned sideways, then helped Li Li up, and blamed him: "Sir, what are you doing? I'm going to make my life short!"
Li Li looked at Lu An, his eyes turned red, and his mood suddenly became excited, "Young Master must bear this gift, otherwise I will never be happy in my life. It is really thanks to the young master. If there were no young master, we might have died halfway through the journey. The young master not only paid but also worked, but also taught Yanger martial arts. Compared with this kindness, this kindness is much worse. If the young master does not accept this gift, I should be the one who has lost his life, so please don't refuse."
After saying this, Li Li immediately bent down stubbornly.
Lu An wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bear to go against Li Li's wishes. Looking at Li Li's firm eyes and decisive actions, Lu An closed his eyes and stood there, motionless.
After a solemn gift, Li Li slowly stood up with a hint of relief on his face, "Thank you, young master, for fulfilling me."
Lu An slowly opened his eyes, with a tangled expression on his face, and he didn't know how to answer this.
Li Li also saw Lu An's uneasiness, and then smiled slightly, "Young Master, after this separation, I don't know if I can see you again next time. I'm so old now, to be honest, I may not have lived for a few days. I guess I won't be able to see you standing at the top of martial arts in this life, which is a great regret."
"Sir, why do you think you want to entrust your own son? Now it's clear that I'm in danger, not sir." Lu An suddenly felt a little funny.
Li Li laughed, and the situation that was a little heavy just now suddenly became relaxed. He nodded and replied, "Hahaha, that's right, it's me wrong. Don't blame me, but what I said is true."
Lu An's expression instantly stopped, and he looked at Li Li and replied slowly: "Sir, this is too heavy. All this is not fixed. I have never thought about the top of martial arts."
Li Li shook his head and replied, "Young Master, maybe you don't think so, but in the eyes of Yanger and I, you will definitely stand at the top of martial arts in the future. Even if your current situation is a bit dangerous, I don't think that something will happen to you here. Liang Liang, the national master of the Great Zhou, or even the entire Great Zhou, will be just a stepping stone in the eyes of the Young Master."
Lu An was very comfortable when he said this, but he was not happy about it. "Sir, you said it yourself. All this is the future. I dare not think so now. This thought is really too far for me."
Li Li agreed, but continued: "Young Master, you are definitely not a match for those people now, but what about the future? As long as you survive this disaster, the future will surely be promising."
Lu An was very curious and didn't understand why Li Li believed in him so much, so he asked: "Sir, why do you think so?"
Li Li smiled slightly and replied, "Because I saw a shadow of a person in the eyes of the young master."
"Oh? Whose shadow?" Lu An asked.
Li Li suddenly showed a memory and said slowly: "My master, the young master's nature is exactly the same as his nature. He does what he wants to do, says what he wants to say, and does not care about other people's opinions at all. There is no so-called good or bad, or a difference in interests. He lives in his heart. In today's world, I have never seen anyone like this. I once said that I have inherited the master's freedom and freedom, but to be honest, the young master is more like my master than me, and I still haven't learned it well."
Regarding Li Li's high evaluation, Lu An could only nod silently, neither objecting nor agreeing.
Seeing that Lu An did not refute, Li Li continued: "Actually, on the way here, I even had the idea of asking Yanger to be a disciple. Unfortunately, my willpower was not firm enough and I couldn't bear to let Yanger go. I rejected this idea in a while. Now I think about it, I feel a little regretful."
Lu An waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Sir, what you said is wrong. Wei Yang is better off following him. You see, if you follow me, you will be in trouble. Maybe one day you will die in a corner. Moreover, studying is the wisest thing for Wei Yang. Practicing martial arts and practicing Taoism is not the right way for him."
Li Li agreed: "Although this is the same, I still feel a little sorry for Yang'er after missing someone like Young Master."
Lu An laughed and quickly retorted: "Sir, don't say so sure, maybe it's a good thing?"
Li Li was obviously stunned and smiled, "Young Master, you always think too much about others. If you take you as your teacher, you always consider the good or bad of others, and never consider your own interest. Most people really can't do this."
Lu An asked back in confusion: "Can you accept it at will? After receiving it, you will ignore it?"
"The master leads the door and practices depends on himself. This has been the same principle since ancient times. If you follow what the young master thinks, then the disciple's life will be a little better. The young master thinks too deeply. I have been a master for so many years and have been instructed by many students, but I dare not say that every student has got what they want. But what I can be sure is that after I taught them, their personality is much better than before. I have indeed changed to a good point, so I don't need to blame myself." Li Li explained.
Lu An stood there in a daze, suddenly feeling that Li Li said it thoroughly and made sense, "So, did I do the wrong thing before?"
Li Li shook his head and replied, "But you can't say that. The young master's idea is actually correct. He has considered everything for his apprentice, but the young master did not consider those apprentices. They hope that you will arrange everything for them? Maybe they just want to follow the young master and learn from the young master. They may not have thought so much about the future."
Lu An suddenly realized and nodded, "I've learned it, I understand."
"So Yang'er once had such an idea. Although the young master did not agree, in Yang'er's heart, the young master is actually his master. He may recognize the young master in this life. I also hope that the young master will not forget that there is still someone waiting for the young master here in the future." Li Li said sincerely.
Lu An nodded heavily, then took out a jade pendant and handed it to Li Li, saying, "I thought I would give it to Wei Yang, the gift for admission to him personally, but now it seems that there is no chance."
Li Li took it, his eyes widened suddenly, "Size object?"
Lu An nodded, "That's right, this is what I got from a fat man in Qufu City. It's very clean and keep it. Wei Yang has many books and can be kept in it at that time. You don't have to carry it on your back every day. You can also order it with sir."
Li Li paused for a long time and finally accepted it, "I'm thanking the young master for Yang'er."
Lu An waved his hand, then took out five more spiritual crystal spirits, some gold, silver and fine soft materials, and handed them over, "Sir, you can accept these, you should prepare some when you go out. Although there is a school to help you, life cannot be too ugly. It's okay to prepare. Although there are not many, it's enough for Wei Yang to become an adult."
Li Li refused repeatedly, "Young Master, this is not allowed. You still owe a large debt. How can you do this?"
Lu An's face was seriously pushed into Li Li's hand, and pretended to be angry: "If you ask you to accept it, just accept it. I will not be able to slap the swollen face and make you fat."
Li Li still didn't want to accept it, and his face was seriously resistant.
Lu An immediately thought of another thing, his face softened, and said, "Actually, I want to ask Mr. I have something to do. This money is not purely for Wei Yang. When Mr. is here, take care of Huanghua. That little girl is also a bit pitiful and lives a relatively hard life. Half of this money is given to her."
"But..." Li Liren wanted to retort.
Lu An could only continue to explain: "They are all children. If I give them money directly, no adult will watch them, and they may be coveted by others. Then I can cause trouble for no reason. So I think, besides the teacher, I can't think of another person who can do this, although the teacher is a little greedy for alcohol."
The expression on Li Li's face improved a little, and he slowly took the money off and nodded, "I'll thank you for these two children. I will definitely ask them to pay back the money in the future."
Lu An laughed and waved his hand, "If I can use them in the future, I won't be polite, provided they have grown up."
Li Li nodded and replied, "For this matter, I promised the young master that the future young master's affairs are Yang'er's affairs, and Yang'er's life is the young master's life."
Lu An shrugged, waved his hand, suddenly took out a pot of wine, shook it back and said, "Sir, drink it again last?"
Li Li nodded and pulled Lu An to sit directly on the ground.
The two started chatting like this, from the first meeting to the next time they set off together, they talked about all the things they encountered on the road.
I don’t know if it’s because of my age or because of my sensibility, Li Li’s emotions were particularly sentimental. He drank and talked, but he started crying without realizing it, talking, crying, drinking and laughing.
Lu An was still as always, quietly accompanying the old man in front of him, with his mouth slightly raised, and he talked with him while pouring wine.
Because Lu An also knew that this might be the last time he had a drink with the old man. If there was such a chance next time, the person sitting in front of him might be the young Wei Yang.
So this night, there was no disgust for Li Li who had drunk too much, and even had a glimmer of hope, hoping that he would continue to watch him go crazy here next time.
......
the next day.
Li Li woke up from the ground and habitually covered his eyes with his hands. The dazzling sunlight made him unable to open his eyes. After a long time of slowing down, he got up, rubbed his dizzy head, and glanced around.
Then I recalled the scene last night and found that I was the only one left here, and Lu An didn't know when it had disappeared.
Looking up at the sun and finding that it had risen. Li Li quickly got up and ran out.
To be continued...
