At that time, one of the brothers rode his horse to chase after them, but soon lost sight of the wolves.
Judging from the direction, it was probably downhill. After passing through the forest halfway up the mountain, we arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain. And that village happened to be Beiguan Village.
This time, since there happened to be a clue pointing to this place, Li Gan planned to go over and take a look.
Li Gan had a vague guess in his mind.
He felt that the escaped wolves would either break into the village, harm the villagers' livestock, or even hurt people; or they would fall into Xiao Lubuhua's hands.
It was basically impossible for Xiao Lubuhua to hide in Beiguan Village. But what if he was hiding in the mountains?
When the Crown Prince and the Grand Prince heard that Li Gan was going to take them to investigate the case personally, they were immediately excited. Investigating the case! This was the most interesting thing they had encountered since they left home!
The expressions of these two great gods were too obvious. Li Gan couldn't pretend not to see them. He pulled off the black mask, revealing a face with fair skin, delicate features, and picturesque eyebrows, making it difficult to tell whether it was male or female.
"Sir, it's best not to show your emotions like this. When you're out and about, keep things simple and relax the rules a bit. But if you keep looking like this, you won't be able to walk around outside."
Although a basin of cold water was poured over their heads, the Crown Prince and the Grand Prince still looked radiant and excited.
The prince smiled with his eyebrows curved and his mouth corners raised high, and said in a childish voice:
"Uncle Li, I'm so happy! I want to keep a straight face, but I can't..."
The crown prince also smiled. He looked down at his son and felt soft in his heart:
"If you can't hold it in, then forget it! Why don't we just stay home a little longer and laugh enough before going out?"
"Yes, yes!"
The young grandson clapped his hands and said, "Daddy is still the smartest!"
Li Gan couldn't help but smile. The Crown Prince was suddenly stunned. He stared at Li Gan's face in shock and confusion, and murmured, "Why are you so handsome..."
Li Gan quickly covered his face with the black scarf again, revealing only a pair of deep eyes: "What now?"
The crown prince recovered, but was still somewhat puzzled. He turned to the crown prince, who had also been dazzled by Li Gan's smile, and asked, "Daddy, Uncle Li looks so good when he smiles. Why doesn't he smile every day? Why do you always have a stern face and wear a veil to cover your face?"
The child's confusion was so genuine that the crown prince was speechless for a moment.
Everyone knows the reason for this problem, but it is very troublesome to explain it to children.
Li Gan saw that the crown prince was frowning and couldn't think of a proper answer for a moment, so he simply answered the question himself:
"Since I'm so good-looking, how can I just show it to others casually?"
"Oh..." The prince suddenly realized: "I understand! Uncle Li's face is just like Aunt Dai's snacks! Aunt Dai's snacks are especially delicious, so I always keep them for myself to eat secretly..."
Having said this, the prince suddenly realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and exposed the fact that he had secretly hidden snacks, so he quickly glanced at his father's face.
But I found that my father didn't seem to notice this at all.
The crown prince felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what Li Gan said, but the most important thing was to fool his son, so let it be for now!
He couldn't possibly tell his son that Li Gan had been in several fights with the sons of powerful people in the capital just because of this face!
Why did the Annan Palace become enemies with Li Gan?
Isn't it the youngest son of the Annan Palace who doesn't care about food and drink? He ran into Li Gan on the street and was so mesmerized by his face that he lost his appetite and kept clamoring for a kiss. He even chased Li Gan all over the street...
At the beginning, Li Gan tolerated him a few times for the sake of the Annan Palace and did not confront him head-on. Every time they met, he just rode away quickly.
Later, Li Gan visited the King of Annan and asked him to restrain his youngest son's behavior.
Unexpectedly, the King of Annan disagreed with this and advised Li Gan not to be shy and to get closer to his son. As long as he could make his son happy, he would definitely benefit from it!
Li Gan was so angry that he stormed out on the spot.
When he met the youngest son of King Annan again, he no longer gave face to the Annan Palace, but directly broke the guy's legs and threw him in front of the Annan Palace.
This time, Li Gan had completely offended the Annan Palace.
There are quite a few powerful children like the youngest son of the King of Annan. The reason for this is actually Li Gan’s father’s fault.
Li Gan's father also had a title, but since Li Gan's mother passed away and his father remarried and had several younger brothers and sisters, the relationship between father and son became increasingly worse.
When Li Gan was twelve years old, he went out to play with his classmates one day. However, his six-year-old sister Aqiao, who came from the same mother, drowned in the lotus pond at home.
Li Gan determined that his stepmother was the murderer, but he had no evidence.
When the incident happened, the stepmother swiftly beat to death several servants present, including Li Qiao's maid and wet nurse.
When Li Gan returned home, he realized his sister hadn't come out to greet him, and he felt something was wrong. When he saw her body, he nearly went crazy.
Li Gan asked his father to seek justice for his sister, but his father did not believe him. Instead, he believed that Li Gan had always been suspicious of his stepmother and was unfilial, so he punished him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall to repent and reflect.
Li Gan knelt in the ancestral hall for about an incense stick of time and then refused to kneel again.
He held his mother's tablet and forced his way out of the house.
This incident caused a huge uproar back then, and almost the entire circle of powerful people in the capital was shocked.
My father had not yet appointed a crown prince.
After hearing about the Li family's affairs, Li Gan and his father were summoned to the palace to have a chat with them. The result was very different from what everyone expected.
After listening to the story and Dongxiang Bo's explanation, the emperor did not directly punish Dongxiang Bo's second wife. He even turned a blind eye to the whole incident and did not say a word.
He only accepted Li Gan as a third-class imperial guard and rewarded him with a small two-story house in the inner city, allowing him to live separately and independently.
As for the tablet of Li Gan's mother, it was temporarily handed over to Li Gan for safekeeping. However, after the hundredth year of the Dongxiang Earl's reign, the tablet of Li Gan's mother would be returned to the Li Family Ancestral Hall.
Both sides were not satisfied with the result, but the emperor had spoken clearly, and since the arrangement had been made, Dongxiang Bo and Li Gan could only express their gratitude.
Li Gan left home, completely leaving the Li family's protection. But he became his father's bodyguard again. However, no one knew whether his father's feelings for him were just a whim or if he was still concerned about him.
So, at the beginning, everyone was just watching, and no one was so blind as to dare to bully him.
The impact of this incident quickly spread to every powerful family. The backyards of many powerful families became battlefields where arrows were fired at random.
A few days later, my father suddenly issued an edict to appoint a crown prince.
