"Oh, Mr. Li, as an important member of the party, don't speak too soon. If I ask you to rebel, why would you do it?"
Li Chong seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, without even thinking about it, "If His Highness is willing to believe it, Li Chong is willing to obey His Highness King Huai." This sentence not only shocked Feng Yu, but also made his family members afraid.
Believe it or not, Li Ran didn't believe that his father could say anything rebellious.
Feng Yu was stunned, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and after a while he said with a smile: "Master Li, you have drunk too much."
"No, Li Chong knows what he is talking about. I have already considered this decision. This is my final choice."
"Master Li, you need to know what the crime of rebellion is. I can kill you right now!"
"Your Highness, no matter whether you will kill me or not, I will say what is in my heart. Personally, my current official career, Li Chong, ends here. A small Jiangzhong governor does not have much real power.
.If you want to reach a higher level, you can only rely on someone, and His Highness is the best helper."
"Oh? Really? It's your business to climb up. It depends on your ability. What does it have to do with me? Mr. Li, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth."
Li Chong shook his head, his eyes firm but regretful, "Although I, Li Chong, am not a great man, I consider myself a good local official. I am considerate of the people. Most people in the river can live and work in peace and contentment.
I am talented, but there is no one who doesn’t want to climb. Especially when I realize that I am weak and cannot protect my family at all, this strengthens my determination."
"Then what? If you have an idea, I will find a way to promote you? Don't you think it's too whimsical?"
"This is what I want to say next. Your Highness, Mr. Yu, the peaceful and prosperous times are no longer there, or in other words, there have been undercurrents over the years, and there has never been real peace. Don't you have any idea, Your Highness?"
"What if I say, no?"
"Actually, being in the emperor's family is a blessing, but it is also unfortunate. Because even if you have no idea, others will push you forward, even if it is just for yourself. His Highness is in the capital, and he is not aware of the situation in the world.
You should know better. Isn't there something unusual in the capital?"
Feng Yu's brows came closer, "Master Li, what do you mean?"
"Since Your Majesty and the old prince have allowed His Majesty to go to guard Qingzhou, they believe in His Majesty's ability. Now the Crown Prince and the King of Wei are fighting fiercely. Each has his own merits and holds the general trend in his hands. However, since twenty years ago, the military power of our Tang State has always been directly under the Imperial Palace.
, this time His Highness takes charge of Qingzhou Beifu Bingjia, which can be said to be a great help."
"Help? Border vassal king?"
"Beifu's soldiers are elite, has His Highness never been tempted?"
"Master Li, do the Crown Prince and King Wei let you down like this?"
"No," Li Chong shook his head, "I don't know much about them, but there will definitely be a fight. However, I have learned more about His Highness in the past few days."
"Me? What do you know about me? Tell me."
"First, His Highness's character. His Highness was able to rely on the words of a few people, knowing that he would be in danger, but he was still willing to help me. This is a righteous thing. His Highness is by no means a ruthless person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Second, His Highness's
People are said to be like the water, and the monarch is like the boat on the water. The water can carry the boat and capsize it. His Highness can make friends in the rivers and lakes. Moreover, there is Gu Yulou in the south of the Yangtze River, so he must have many friends. The leader of the Seven Young Masters will definitely not
Simple. Third, the world needs a leader. In times of chaos, force is often the foundation. Compared to the Crown Prince and the King of Wei, I trust you more."
Feng Yu smiled and clapped, "Master Li, your words are really amazing. I have seen it. Since you are so sincere, I can tell you clearly that I have no interest in this supreme position."
"But Your Highness, with the current turbulent background, we need someone~"
"Stop! Don't judge a person with your thoughts. What you need to know to truly understand him is to know more about him. I'm not as good as you said, and you know very little about me. It's too much to want to have a heart-to-heart talk at this time.
Stupid. If I were an ambitious person, do you think I would let a confidant who can't control me live? Also, you should trust the capital and your Majesty. I think I have always had a good vision and will not choose the wrong person.
"
After saying that, Feng Yu got up and went back to his room, leaving behind a table full of speechless people.
Li Ran asked in fear: "Dad, you are crazy! You actually said such treasonous words in front of His Highness King Huai. Are you really not afraid that His Highness will kill you?"
"You have also seen that he can't. I also understand what happened to Yuwei girl. If a person wants to achieve something, he must not only have character but also strength. Our family comes from a poor family and has no background. This Hezhou is connected from the east to the west.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the land is an important city. Sooner or later, someone will be looking at it, so making an early choice is also a kind of protection."
"But, what you just said was too scary."
"After careful consideration, this son will definitely achieve great achievements in the future, and he has the world in mind! But why did he refuse? Also, what he meant was that he chose someone, the prince or the king of Wei? His Royal Highness King Huai, Yue
It’s becoming more and more confusing.”
Early the next morning, Feng Yu and eight guards were ready to go. Li Ran also came over wearing armor.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Ran cupped his fists and saluted, "Go back to Your Highness, I will join the army and follow Your Highness."
"Oh, Mr. Li still doesn't give up."
"No, this has nothing to do with what my father said yesterday. It's just that Li Ran admires His Highness's demeanor. Now that the border is unstable, he is willing to serve his family and country!"
"Then let me ask you, what should Luo Yuwei do? Don't you know what she is thinking?"
"I think Yuwei will understand this. A man is responsible for protecting his family and his country. She also said she would support me."
Feng Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "You, women always mean what they say. Even if you really think so, you should think about it for her. Her family lost their lives, and if she lives in your house, you can't
Have you ever thought about taking good care of her?"
"Of course it's natural to take care of her. I swore that I would never marry anyone other than her in this life!"
"Then you're just going to take care of her if you come with me now?"
"But~"
"It's nothing but a man in the army who throws his life and blood without caring about his family. But there are many people who don't miss love in their hearts. If you are really serious, I am willing to give you a chance to get married as soon as possible and treat her well. When necessary in the future
Come to Qingzhou to find me again, I won’t be short of you now, it’s an extra treatment for Li Chong’s sake.”
Li Ran watched Feng Yu and the nine people go away, feeling a little unspeakable. Yes, Yu Wei has been thinking about me, should I also think about her. There is still a chance to join the army, but if I can't come back, she
What to do if you are alone at home?
After he figured it out, he hurried back to the house, saw Luo Yuwei hiding behind the door, and hugged her with joy and excitement.
"Yuwei, let's get married!"
Luo Yuwei wanted to watch him leave secretly, but unexpectedly she ran into him running back and suddenly hugged her tightly and said that she wanted to get married. Her whole body felt like being struck by lightning and she stood still without moving.
, I don’t even know what to say.
"Brother Ran, you~, me~"
"I'm sorry. I, Li Ran, swear to God that I will treat you well in this life! However, I think Your Highness is reasonable. Since I have this opportunity, I should cherish it. I want to accompany you well first, and then go to Qingzhou to join the army!"
Li Chong applauded and walked out, "Hahaha, I very much agree with this decision. Girl Yuwei, are you dissatisfied with anything?"
Luo Yuwei blushed and shook her head, "Uncle Li, I didn't, I just couldn't believe it. He said last night that he would follow His Highness Prince Huai."
"Your Highness still allows me to join the army, but it can be delayed for a few days. When the war really breaks out, I can go find him again."
Feng Yu's horse galloped on the road, and a pigeon flew from the front and landed on the guard's shoulder.
"Your Highness, this letter says that someone was assassinated last night."
"Who was assassinated? Who did it?"
"It's not clear yet, but the one who died was one of the people recommended by King Wei."
"I understand, there's no need to reply. We'll meet up two days later, so there's no need to rush. Since they're so fast, let's get a few more."
"Your Highness, but if all of his people died, wouldn't it be too obvious?"
"You think if you do it in a subtle way, they won't know about it. People who think this way will end up doing it even if I didn't do it. It's better to cut through the mess with a quick knife."
"Yes, I understand."
Xu Bai and Xu Mo traveled for days. On the first night they left, they caught up with Lu Jinyan and his party and killed the first person on the list. By the time the body was discovered, it was already dawn.
Lu Jinyan knelt down and looked at the body. There were no obvious wounds on his body. There was only a single wound on the throat, and the blood was almost dry.
"It seems like it was a one-shot kill. There was no reaction time. The attacker was very powerful."
Shi Yufeng thought about it and asked: "We are so far away from Jiangzhong, so it can't be them, or there are people like them waiting for us on the road."
"It's no use guessing. We still have to be on guard. Their targets are definitely not just this one, and they might show up again. Let's just wait and see, and write a letter to His Highness Prince Huai to notify us. We will also send a letter to Qingzhou and send someone to pick us up.
.”
Xu Mo and Xu Bai stood in the dark. Among these generals, there were no warriors above the ninth grade. As long as they were unwilling, it would be almost impossible to discover them.
"They seem to be waiting for us to take the bait. Do you want to say hello?"
Xu Bai only replied with two words, "Waste."
"That's right. It's a waste of time. Just kill him. Wait until he's alone and seal his throat immediately."
Xu Bai has disappeared, only the swaying branches prove that he has just arrived, and the black and white evil spirits are really without a trace.
