The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 263: Rescuing People (Part )

Last time, we talked about how Tao Zhongwen wanted Baozhu Faluo and her son Wei Lue to take Li Yi's direct train to the Western Regions. His plan started with little Wei Lue. Let's continue reading and see how little Wei Lue acts.

Wei Lue left the courtyard and went to ask around, looking for the Imperial College. He thought he could find Li Yi in the Imperial College, but he didn't know that Li Yi had not worked there for a long time. He waited for a day in the Imperial College but returned empty-handed. The next day, when he went to the Imperial College again, he learned about this matter and went to the gate of the Ministry of Rites to inquire, but he didn't find Li Yi for three consecutive days.

On the fourth day, he changed his mind because he "accidentally" heard that Li Yi's sister had opened a shop specializing in women's clothing. His stepmother mentioned it when she was chatting with the neighbor's widow, so he went to the commercial street to look for the shop called Ye's Slim Clothes. He asked for directions after a long time.

Looking at the archway of Ye's slim-fitting clothes, Wei Lue was waiting at the door, because there was a sign in front of the shop saying men are not allowed to enter. Of course, this was not the main reason why he did not go in. The main reason was that next to the sign stood a middle-aged man dressed as a guard, who was obviously a martial artist.

After finally waiting for Little Leaf to close, Wei Lue hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, asking, "Excuse me, are you Sister Ye'er?"

The guards were staring at him eagerly, but he was not afraid. He introduced himself, "My name is Wei Lue, and I am a friend of Sister Yuehua. Could you please tell Sister Yuehua that I have something to talk to her about?"

Little Leaf asked warily, "Yuehua's friend? How could she have a friend as young as you?"

But seeing the child from the Western Regions in front of him, Xiao Ye asked one more question: "What do you want to see Yuehua about?"

Wei Lue replied: "Just help me pass on a message to Sister Yuehua."

Little Leaf asked, "What?"

Wei Lue said: "Please tell Sister Yuehua that Baozhu Faluo's son can come to her if he has any problems. Thank you for your help." Wei Lue bowed after saying this.

Xiao Ye Zi heard Yue Hua mention the name of Baozhu Faluo, so she said, "How about this, you come home with me, if you are really her friend, she will naturally meet you."

Wei Lue looked at the sky and said, "It's too late today. I promised my godfather that I would go back before dark. If I don't, he will be punished. I will wait here again tomorrow." After that, Wei Lue bowed and left.

Xiaoye told Yuehua about this strange thing, and Yuehua immediately became excited. She usually came late and left early, but she followed Xiaoye to the store the next day. Wei Lue had been waiting here since early in the morning. Xiaoye pointed at Wei Lue, and Yuehua walked over. Xiaoye also asked the guards to follow and take a look, fearing that something might happen.

Wei Lue spotted Yuehua right away. It was hard for a beauty from the Western Regions not to stand out. Yuehua asked, "Are you Aunt Baozhu's son? How did you escape?"

Wei Lue bowed and said, "Hello, Sister Yuehua, my name is Wei Lue, I did not escape, I can move around freely now."

Yuehua looked at Wei Lue, whose speech and behavior had completely become Wei-style, and asked, "Are you really Aunt Baozhu's son? How do you prove it?"

Wei Lue took out a straw bracelet, which was given to him by Baozhu Faluo. She had woven such a bracelet for every Di woman in Younvyuan, asking the God of Fire to bless them with less suffering. However, there were too few people willing to accept this bracelet, because they no longer believed in the God of Fire. If the God of Fire really existed, they would not have fallen into Younvyuan.

Yuehua of course recognized the knot. She stretched out her right hand, and a similar bracelet was tied around her wrist. Yuehua took Wei Lue's hand and said, "You are really Aunt Baozhu's son. Aren't you locked up?"

Wei Lue roughly recounted what happened, and Yuehua said excitedly: "Come on, I'll take you to see my brother now."

Wei Lue looked at her and said, "It seems that Lord Li is really good to you, and you really treat him as your own brother."

Yuehua nodded and said, "Yes, my brother is really good to me. Although he sometimes bullies me and makes me angry, he really treats me as his sister and family member."

Wei Lue asked: "Do you still hate the people of Wei?"

Yuehua was stunned by Wei Lue's question, and she suddenly realized something.

Wei Lue smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Li has almost eliminated the hatred in your heart." Yuehua didn't know how to answer.

Wei Lue said, "Sister Yuehua, don't worry about it. Let's go."

Yuehua then realized that the hatred in her heart had been soothed by Li Yi. Li Yi helped her to avenge herself and let her kill Erzhu Hui with her own hands. She remembered Li Yi comforting her and singing for her; she remembered Li Yi ordering her to do this and that; she remembered Li Yi forcing her to read and learn to read; she remembered Li Yi punished her by making her copy books, stand, and even beat her with a ruler; but she suddenly realized that everything Li Yi did was for her own good.

The key point is that Li Yi did all this without ever thinking of asking her to repay him. Thinking of this, Yuehua's heart suddenly felt a ripple, and tears welled up in her eyes. She suddenly missed her brother, the bad brother who was lazy and gluttonous, and loved to make trouble all day long. She took Wei Lue's hand and ran towards the Ministry of Rites.

When they reached the door, the guard stepped forward and asked, "Sister Yuehua, are you here to look for Master Yuefu?"

Yuehua said unhappily, "Didn't that guy surnamed Li skip work today?"

The guard scratched his head and said, "Lord Yuefu always comes early and leaves late, how could he skip work? Sister Yuehua, what are you talking about?"

Yuehua asked, "So the man named Li is in there?" The guard nodded. Yuehua pulled Wei Lue and walked inside angrily, and the guard did not stop them.

Wei Lue asked, "Why is Sister Yuehua so angry?"

Yuehua said, "Li has been unwilling to fulfill his promise. Today, I happened to meet you, and then I remembered that this bastard promised to send me back to the grassland. What did it mean by delaying for so long? I'm going to find her today to ask her clearly!"

The two of them went straight to the Yuefu government office. Everyone saw Yuehua's angry look along the way, but no one dared to approach her to talk to her. No one dared to mess with the woman of Li Yuefu's family. Yuehua kicked the door open, and Li Yi was holding a guitar and playing it randomly. He was startled by Yuehua.

Seeing Yuehua looking angry and holding a half-grown child, Li Yi quickly put down his guitar, stood up and asked: "Why are you here? What's the situation with this child? Don't tell me this is your long-lost brother, that would be a bloody plot! Our family is already chaotic enough, if you want to have another child, you have to get Bailing and Hanfeng's consent!" Yuehua stood at the door without saying a word, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Li Yi was most afraid of women crying, so he quickly stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe Yuehua's tears, and said in a gentle voice: "Forget it, even if he is your brother, I will help you raise him. This matter is settled, and there is no need to ask them. I will tell Brother Fang later to send him to the Imperial College and let Lin Fan take care of him for a few days. I will find a way to discuss it with your sister-in-law and then take him home, okay?"

Yuehua hugged Li Yi and burst into tears, "Mr. Li, why are you so annoying? Why are you so nice to me? Why are you so annoying? I almost forgot what the grassland looks like. When will you take me back to the grassland?"

When Li Yi heard this, he looked at the child beside him and had a guess in his mind. He hugged Yuehua, patted her on the back and said, "It seems that you miss home and want to go back to the grassland. OK, then I will do some research for you and take you back right away."

Yuehua cried even harder and asked, "What if I miss you, my sister-in-law, and the Li Mansion when I return to the grassland? "

Li Yi scratched his head and said, "Then come back and take a look?"

Yuehua cried loudly, choking with sobs as she said, "It's so troublesome to go back and forth! You are the worst. I miss you if I go back to the grassland, but I miss home if I don't go back. What should I do!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "How about I find you a good family to marry into? What do you think of Lin Fan?"

Yuehua pushed Li Yi away and her sadness turned into anger: "Li, are you stupid? What about Lin Fan? Can't you see that Lin Fan and Xing'er are having problems?"

Li Yi was surprised and asked, "Two of them? No way? How come I didn't notice?"

Yuehua snorted coldly: "You only know how to look at beauties all day long, why would you care about others!"

Li Yi slammed his head on Yuehua's forehead and scolded, "Didn't you learn anything good from following Xiaoye? You are so disrespectful all day long. How can you talk to your brother?"

Yuehua covered her forehead and pulled up Li Yi's sleeve to wipe her tears. Li Yi pulled her sleeve and handed her the handkerchief, then walked up to the little boy and asked, "You must be Wei Lue, right?"

Wei Lue saluted in panic and said, "Wei Lue greets Lord Li, how do you know me?"

Li Yi walked to the bookshelf, took out a book, handed it to Yuehua and said, "Take it, go to the yard and have a look. He and I have something to discuss, so don't come in unless I tell you to."

Yuehua was a little puzzled and said, "Why should I go out? I brought him here. Why can't I listen to you two? It's so cold outside. I won't go!"

Li Yi picked up a ruler casually, and Yuehua immediately changed her tone and said, "Brother, take your time to talk. Call me if you have anything. I'll wait outside." Then she went out with the book, and gently closed the door.

Only Li Yi and Wei Lue were left in the room. Li Yi pointed at a chair and asked Wei Lue to sit down. He then sat back in his original position and said, "Old Silver Coin is really wicked. He gave all the troublesome things to me and asked me to find a way to test you. You are really a piece of shit."

Wei Lue sat on the chair, his back not touching the backrest, and his butt only half sitting. Li Yi smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. Can't you see that I am different from that old man Tao Zhongwen?"

Wei Lue asked, "Why is Lord Li so disdainful of Mr. Tao? Aren't the two of you on good terms?"

Li Yi crossed his legs and smiled like a gangster: "He said we have a good relationship? He is so self-indulgent. I can't stand his style of doing things. It's too mean and too immoral."

Wei Lue asked, "Why did Lord Li slander Mr. Tao like this?"

Li Yi asked back, "Defamation? Why do you think I am defaming him? Don't you know how bad he is? Take the matter of testing you for example, why do I have to be the bad guy?"

Wei Lue shook his head and said, "I don't think Mr. Tao wants Lord Li to be a bad guy."

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't call me Lord Li all the time. I'm not used to it. You can call me brother or uncle. If that doesn't work, just call me Master."

Wei Lue said awkwardly: "Then I will call you Master. How do you plan to test me?"

Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "You want revenge, but it was the Wei Zhenbei Army that killed your father. How can you explain this?"

Wei Lue replied, "Sir, if someone kills someone with a borrowed knife, do you think I should settle the score with the one who borrowed the knife or the one who held the knife?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "It seems that Old Silver Coin has put a lot of thought into you, but how do you plan to convince your mother?"

Wei Lue's eyes revealed a trace of helplessness: "Over the years, the hatred in my mother's heart has been smoothed out a lot. Although Younvyuan is not like you who can use love to smooth out the wounds of hatred, it also has ways to wear down her will."

Li Yi laughed and said, "You don't sound like a ten-year-old kid talking. I feel like I'm chatting with an older person."

Wei Lue said helplessly: "Master said that my fate is too rough. If I don't grow up earlier, I will suffer more."

Li Yi asked: "So you have already made up your mind to become a Wei citizen, but how do you plan to lead your people to become Wei citizens? After so many years of hatred, they must hate Wei and the Zhenbei Army."

Wei Lue looked up at Li Yi and said, "Sir, don't you have the 'Strategy for Subduing the Hu'? Isn't your method not feasible?"

Li Yi laughed, stood up, patted Wei Lue on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and see your mother."
