Chapter 52

Gao Hu, Li Dali. The same body, different names also represent different identities and different mentalities.

As Gao Hu, he was a dignified general of the Jinyiwei. Although his official position was not obvious, he was a close minister of the emperor and guarding the palace. At that time, he was the pride of heaven, proud and proud. Even in the eyes of those officials, he was just a gatekeeper...

When Li Dali was Li, he was a down-and-out fugitive in the court and the lowest-ranking class. He could only rely on selling his coolies to support himself.

If he had never possessed the identity of Li Dali, he would naturally sneer at the identity of Li Dali and disdain it. At the same time, he held everything Gao Hu had, worked hard to climb up, and longed to glorify his ancestors.

But life changed him from Gao Hu to Li Dali, and he spent more than ten years as Li Dali. If he was an ambitious person, he would naturally long to turn back to Gao Hu and climb to a high position with the emperor's trust.

But if he was such an ambitious person, he would not have been able to save the child who looked pitiful and helpless but now he is the king of a country.

Although he was not as sensitive as his colleagues around him, he was not a fool. How could he not know that in the heavily guarded palace, there were no way that there were so many unidentified killers with good martial arts who could touch the cold palace unimpeded.

Considering the usual style of the imperial concubine who was powerful in the harem at that time, if he was really an ambitious person, he would probably be helping the evildoer at that time, how could he get what Lu Xin said today?

Therefore, even though Lu Xin tried to persuade him, Gao Hu was still unmoved. In his heart, Gao Hu had completely died when he left the capital. Now he is just an ordinary chef - Li Dali.

"Do you really want the emperor to take the risk of issuing an imperial edict to 'please' you go back?!" Although he knew his junior brother's stubborn personality in his heart, Lu Xin did not expect that he would be so stubborn.

"So, senior brother, don't report to the priest about me," Li Dali said with a chuckling, "And, senior brother, you have also said that the priest gave you a lot of gifts over the years, and Lu Xiao has also received great favors for it. At a young age, he has become a household in the Jinyiwei and has received secret orders to deal with this matter. You feel deeply guilty in your heart. Now you just need to regard these as rewards accepted on my behalf. Anyway, my life was saved by you back then, and it can be regarded as my blessing to save you."

"Can..."

"Okay," Li Dali interrupted Lu Xin's rebuttal, "We brothers haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so why are we still obsessed with these past events? Let's have a few drinks."

...

Lu Xin's sudden appearance undoubtedly resolved the doubts about Li Dali's identity in the hearts of a group of Jinyiwei guards in Yuelai Inn, but the "Gao Hu" mentioned before inevitably evoked some memories of the old Jinyiwei people such as Zhao Qing.

As Lu Xin said before, since Emperor Qin ascended the throne, he has given orders to the factory guards to find Gao Hu's traces, and he has asked several questions every few times. Therefore, even in recent years, because there has been no news and the government has become increasingly heavy, the question of Gao Hu's whereabouts is no longer as diligent as before. Many people who have been in the Jinyiwei for more than five years, especially small leaders like Zhao Qing, who have an official position, will soon think of the original order in their minds, and the days when they search for Gao Hu's traces under Shangguan's orders, and then remember who Gao Hu is.

On the contrary, Lu Xiao, Shangguan and the person who had the closest relationship with Gao Hu, was confused because he had just joined the Jinyiwei and was carrying a special imperial destiny.

However, this did not prevent Lu Xiao's subordinates from envying Lu Xiao.

To be honest, although he admires Lu Xiao's martial arts and is also very afraid of Lu Xiao's methods, most of his subordinates still don't understand why Lu Xiao stood alone at such a young age, became their immediate boss, and carried out such an important imperial decree.

But after knowing his relationship with Gao Hu at this time, they understood.

It turned out that it was because he was Gao Hu's nephew and was benefited from the emperor's life-savior.

At the same time, they also "understand" why Lu Xiao had been hiding Gao Hu's identity from them. If it were them, they would definitely not have leaked this secret. Such a great contribution would definitely be exclusive to anyone.

Now, Lu Xin, a person from the capital, wants to have a secret talk with Gao Hu, which undoubtedly makes them believe their guesses.

Envy is certain, but in addition to envy, the group of people also firmly believe that they should hold Lu Xiao’s thigh tightly. As long as the emperor’s savior’s nephew is hugged tightly, he will be promoted and wealthy in the future.

There are many Lishi who were responsible for tracking and surveillance at Li Dali. They were worried that Li Dali would be vindictive and were quite nervous, thinking whether they should apologize to the other party later.

...

Not to mention the Jinyiwei in Yuelai Inn's fear of gains and losses, Sun Ji and Bai Shier were also quite uneasy at this time in Dongsheng Inn.

Sun Ji naturally tried to recall in his heart whether he had offended Li Dali in the past few years. After all, Lu Xiao's status is not low, and even the magistrate has supported him continuously. Now that Li Dali has reached Lu Xiao's relationship, how can he not worry?

Bai Shier was trying hard to think about Li Dali’s true identity.

Others may have misunderstood because the authorities were confused, so some of them did not understand it. However, Bai Shier, the outsider who had known for a long time that Li Dali and Lu Xiao had a close relationship. And the outsider who had been watching coldly on the side saw that Lu Xiao was obviously puzzled when he heard his father questioning him.

If Lu Xiao's expression is not pretending, it proves that Lu Xiao did not know Li Dali's real name before, that is to say, Li Dali has never told him his real name. Now that Lu Xiao's father has arrived, Li Dali has to reveal his real name.

Judging from the performance of Li Dali and Lu Xin when they met, the two were very close, but even with such close relationship between Li Dali and Lu Xin, he did not tell Lu Xiao his real name.

And what kind of people need to conceal their true identity in this desperate situation?
