For eleven years, Du Jing felt filled with hatred every time he thought of Lawyer Pei. He thought of countless torture methods to torture him. Only if he couldn't survive or die could he let go of the hatred in his heart.

The reason why he didn't take action was not because Lawyer Pei had a conscience and couldn't bear to take action, nor was it because he pointed out the enemy that he didn't reveal, but because he awakened Du Jing and made him think about something that he had not thought about for many years.

This made Du Jing even more resentful than her childhood of being sold by Lawyer Pei, being hunted down, and being looked down upon by others.

After leaving the Duke of Wei's Mansion and walking on the dark street, Du Jing was a little blind. Zuo Wuhouwei's waist card was very useful. When he encountered three waves of Wuhou, he was allowed to go without hindrance.

You can even go to a closed restaurant and buy a jar of wine. Just drink it and walk home!

Pushing open the door, he squinted and saw several women in the yard. He thought he had gone to the wrong place, but Du Jing apologized and turned around to leave, but was stopped by a delicate voice.

When she turned around, she saw a woman wearing purple clothes and a plain white gauze gown. The breeze blew her clothes and skirts flying, making Ling Ning look like a fairy.

Li Lizhi put her hands behind her back and said with a sweet smile: "We meet again!"

It is not difficult at all for Li Lizhi to check his identity. She only needs to send someone to Wuhou's shop that day, ask the corps commander about the name and official position on the waistband, and then go to Jingzhao Mansion to check the household registration.

That’s it.

Carrying the wine jar, she walked to the pavilion and sat down. Du Jing replied coldly: "I don't know you."

Li Lizhi was not annoyed and asked the maids to place the food boxes in the pavilion, then waved them away.

Sitting opposite Du Jing, holding his chin with one hand, he said seriously: "Do you dare to roll up the sleeve of your left arm?"

Although Li Lizhi was young back then, she always remembered her soft-spoken brother, who did not dislike her as a crybaby and told her bedtime stories.

Seeing that Du Jing didn't say anything, Li Lizhi simply took matters into her own hands and rolled up Du Jing's sleeves. On his forearm, there was a birthmark that resembled a tiger's head.

Li Lizhi said categorically: "I read that right! You are King Kuan of Chu, my second brother."

Before coming, Li Lizhi also checked his official profile. From the sixth year of Zhenguan to the tenth year of Zhenguan, he should have risen from an ordinary soldier to the position of General Ranger.

She had heard about some of the larger battles from her father-in-law and husband. They were all extremely brutal battles, and half of the participants were buried in foreign lands.

Thinking of this, Li Lizhi couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes. The second brother has been frail and sick since he was a child. How difficult it is for him to survive these battles.

To be able to get General Li Jing's comment in the official file: "This son is a brave general that is hard to find among all armies", one has to endure a lot of hardships and suffer a lot of sins.

Now that this girl had found out, Du Jing no longer needed to pretend. He raised the altar and took a sip of wine, and said nonchalantly: "Quite surprising? What is more terrifying than being alive!"

Since Li Lizhi has seen his official profile, he should be able to notice that every time he was promoted, he gained it by walking on bones and surviving in death.

When guarding the border in Liangzhou, he dared to lead fifty cavalry to attack thousands of horse bandits. When defending the city, he dared to go into battle shirtless and fight with the fierce Tuyuhun warriors.

After marching westward for two thousand miles, he pursued the Gobi desert. As a vanguard, he had to rely on spurring horses to drink blood and eating cacti, so he bit the tail of the Tuyuhun people!

Only when a person has nothing to lose can he know how ruthless he is.

The shock in Li Lizhi's heart cannot be described in words. What shocked her was not the experiences of being on the run, but the fact that Li Kuan had changed so much that she couldn't accept it.

Although the second brother was weak when he was a child, he was gentle and humble, and spoke in a soft voice. But now the second brother is not only indifferent, but also like a sharp weapon, ready to take people's lives at any time.

Li Lizhi felt that there was no need for him to do this. As long as he returned to Chang'an and home, he could still be his King of Chu. Why should he torture himself like this?

Moreover, he has returned to the capital. Why didn't he explain it to his father? Instead, he pretended to be a stranger and refused to recognize him.

Back then, she was too young and didn't understand many things. She didn't know what things were like.

But she knows a truth, there are five human relationships: king and minister, father and son, brothers, husband and wife, and friends.

Mencius said that there is a way of etiquette between kings and ministers. This means loyalty to the country, filial piety to parents, respect and love to brothers, love and patience to husband and wife, and benevolence and righteousness to friends.

Seeing that her second brother was silent, Li Lizhi didn't say anything more and took out a bowl of glutinous rice stuffed with mutton from the food box. It was Li Kuan's favorite food when he was a child.

Every year on the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, which is the day of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the late empress would make a bowl of it and stare in the direction of Qianqiu Palace in a daze for a long time.

A daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket for her parents. Li Lizhi knows her mother's thoughts. She has never accepted the conclusion that Li Kuan is a "flea-killer" and has always wanted to get Li Kuan back, who "lives without seeing anyone, and dies without seeing his body."

/p>

But his father insisted that Li Kuan was dead and there was little hope of survival. For this reason, the husband and wife often had different opinions. This was the only thing in Li Lizhi's impression that her mother did not obey her father.

After giving birth to her last son, her health became worse and worse, so she handed over the skill of making stuffing to Li Lizhi, hoping that when Li Kuan came back, he could still have a familiar bite of glutinous rice.

It is said that giving birth to a mother is not as gracious as raising a mother. Li Lizhi believes that the second brother must know clearly in his heart whether Queen Changsun treats him sincerely.

"When I was dying, I was also in the palace. My mother held my father's hand and begged him, begging him not to give up and to get you back."

"Yes, she is not your biological mother, but she raised you from three feet tall!"

"Second brother, it's time for you to go home and go to Zhaoling to kowtow to your mother!"

Du Jing held up the glutinous rice dumplings and shed tears while eating them. All these years of wandering around, the only thing he missed in his heart was the Empress Changsun who she often hugged and basked in the sun and spoke softly.

Of course he knew that Changsun regarded him as his own son and would never harm him. Otherwise, there would be many ways to kill him quietly.

But it's not necessarily true for others, like the person who secretly caught Lawyer Pei's sore leg. He wasn't sure who it was, but he couldn't escape those three people. What's more, alas! Contradiction!

Sighing, he put down the bowl and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. Du Jing looked at his sister and smiled bitterly: "Ten years of life and death, all kinds of tastes, I have to hide them in my heart. I can't go back!"

"If you still regard me as your brother, just pretend that you don't mention this matter to anyone, and just pretend that I died in the ninth year of Wude."

In his heart, Li Lizhi will always be the innocent little sister. There are some things that he doesn't want Li Lizhi to know, which is too cruel.

"But you can't write two characters "Li" in one stroke. If you don't recognize your ancestor and return to the clan, what if your father finds out?"

"What can I do if I know? It is the national law of our dynasty to treat heroes well. I have achieved seventeen military merits and am a hero of the country. Is it possible that he will kill me?"
