At dusk, a carriage stopped in front of Li Xun's house.

"Master, we're home."

Dahei, who was driving, turned towards the carport and shouted.

Li Xun opened the curtain and got out of the carriage with a tired look on his face.

Yawning, Li Xun pinched his cheeks and felt softly. Today, he visited more than thirty officials and nobles. He started busy early in the morning and has been busy until now. This kind of social life of visiting people to pay homage can be

It was really terrifying, much more tiring than going to the battlefield. Thinking that it would be like this every New Year in the future, Li Xun felt helpless.

But there is no other way. This is etiquette. Someone gives you a greeting card and makes you come to visit when you are free. If you don't go, you will offend others.

A few years ago, no one paid attention to Li Xun at that time, and Li Xun lived a carefree life. But now, everyone can see that Zhao Zhi probably wants to make great use of Li Xun. After all, Li Xun has only been in the officialdom for a short period of time.

In just two years, he only participated in two major battles and did not play a decisive role in them. Even so, Li Xun was promoted by Zhao Zhi one after another. In his early twenties, he did it.

As a high-ranking official of the fourth rank, and with Concubine Li Guifei helping him behind the scenes, Li Xun's future prospects are bound to be limitless. The usual high-ranking officials and aristocrats who boasted themselves as elite celebrities also began to slowly come into contact with Li Xun.

It seems that they still look down on Li Xun's background, but Li Xun's current status has aroused their ideas and attention. It is still very important for both parties to maintain a certain degree of friendship on the surface. People in the officialdom talk about being understanding and understanding.

Having many friends makes things easier.

Li Xun asked Dahei: "Dahei, how many other greeting cards are there?"

Dahei picked up the package next to him, took out a pile of greeting cards from it, and counted: "There are thirteen more, young master, will you go tomorrow?"

"Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and the year is not over until the fifteenth. There is still plenty of time. Let's talk about it in a few days!"

Li Xun shook his head and walked towards the door of his house.

When he entered the home, he didn't see any servants. Li Xun was a little surprised.

The current masters and sons of the Li family are Li Mancang and his son. Xiaolian is considered half the master. The number of people is small and does not require many people to serve. However, after all, both Li Xun and Li Mancang have been given titles and have noble concubines.

My aunt took care of me. Although there were not many servants in the house, there were about thirty or forty people. After walking around for a long time, I didn't see anyone. This was a bit abnormal.

Li Xun raised his head slightly, looked in a direction, and heard some faint sounds.

In the past two years, Li Xun knew that his future career could only be in martial arts, so he thought about practicing martial arts. He expanded a piece of land in the backyard and built a small martial arts training ground. He practiced whenever he had time.

Daxiong's martial arts skills are extraordinary, but his size and strength limit the direction of his moves. Steel is the main force and softness is the supplement. Li Xun cannot learn it. Li Xun did find Shan Qiu, Mao Anfu, and even Huang Zhen, but they all said,

Li Xun learned martial arts too late, and there was no possibility of further training. Although he often taught Li Xun some moves and Qi training methods, the effect was not great.

Although Xun's martial arts skills are ordinary, three or five ordinary people cannot easily get close to him. Li Xun is already very satisfied with this result. After all, not everyone can have the courage to lead the charge on the battlefield like Huang Xun.

.

The martial arts training ground was in the backyard. When Li Xun arrived, he discovered that a large group of people were surrounding him, cheering loudly from time to time.

Li Xun came over curiously and saw Jiang Daxiong and Shanqiu fighting each other and competing in martial arts on the martial arts training ground. Mao Anfu stood aside, wearing thin clothes in the winter, but covered with sweat.

Khan, obviously had just competed with one of them, and was currently watching the battle and resting.

At this time, Jiang Daxiong stabbed fiercely with his spear. Shanqiu seemed to be trying his best to block it, but he feinted and stepped back. Jiang Daxiong used too much force, and his body suddenly leaned forward, losing his balance. His defense was wide open, and Shanqiu

Qiu took this opportunity and kicked Jiang Daxiong hard in the calf. The latter was also smart and no longer tried to stabilize his body. Instead, he leaned forward faster and raised his right leg slightly. Although he was still kicked by Shan Qiu, he was still hit by Shan Qiu.

After removing the strength from this kick, he leaned forward and somersaulted, landing firmly on the ground. He turned around and stabbed, and exchanged swords and guns with Danqiu. The two of them retreated.

good!

When the people around saw the two people's clever moves, they immediately cheered loudly and clapped their hands hard.

Shan Qiu raised his head and laughed: "Happy, Big Bear, your martial arts has improved again."

Jiang Daxiong chuckled and said, "Brother Shan is also very powerful. I almost fell into the trap just now."

Shan Qiu shook his head and said boldly: "I can't defeat you with this move. I have nothing to do. If I continue the fight, I will definitely be defeated within thirty moves."

Jiang Daxiong was also honest, he shook his head and said: "I already know your tricks and routines well. I can defeat you within ten moves."

Jiang Daxiong made such impolite nonsense, Shanqiu was actually lifeless and looked at Mao Anfu. The two looked at each other and both burst into laughter.

"We are all brothers, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose."

Li Xun walked into the martial arts training ground with a smile.

"Why do the two eldest brothers no longer celebrate the New Year at home, but come to the younger brother's place?"

Mao Anfu walked up and said with a chuckle: "I came to drink with you. If we don't get together today, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a long time."

Li Xun asked in confusion: "What does Brother Mao mean by this?"

Shan Qiu patted Li Xun on the shoulder and said, "Your brother Mao is going to take up a post in Henan Province. We brothers will have fewer opportunities to get together."

Li Xun was surprised and said: "Brother Mao is going to take up a post in Henan Province? The imperial court has never issued any decree regarding you!"

Mao Anfu smiled lightly and said: "In addition to the position of General of the Zuo Army of the Forbidden Army, I also have the fictitious position of Patrol Envoy. With this title, I will go to Henan Road first to inspect the city defense armaments in various places and wait for the imperial court's decree.

As soon as the order is issued, I will officially take up the position nearby, but I don't know exactly where in Henan Province I will take up the position. I can only wait for news from the court."

Li Xun nodded, so that's it. Mao Anfu told himself several times that the relationship in the Forbidden Army was too complicated. He had no background and his relationship in the officialdom was very simple. He didn't have any backing network. In front of him,

This general of the left army of the Forbidden Army was really out of his depth, and was collectively ostracized by the generals in the army who had great connections and backgrounds. Zhao Zhi obviously knew this, and transferred him to other places out of love for Mao Anfu.

.

Li Xun smiled and said: "That's fine. The atmosphere in the capital is too depressing. Brother Mao may have a larger display space when he goes elsewhere."

Shan Qiu smiled and punched Mao Anfu in the chest: "If I have a chance to visit your territory in the future, you can't treat me lightly."

Mao Anfu laughed loudly and said: "If Brother Shan comes, if nothing else, he will be in charge of the wine."
