Chapter 101 I believe in you, I really believe in you!
The two people sat opposite each other at a small table. Under the light of the candlelight, Li Shan looked up and saw Su Dingfang opposite, his face blurred but his expression calm.
The young woman poured wine for the two of them from a small wine jar and quietly left. Li Shan picked up the bowl and took a sip, "There is no need to mention this matter again. I am Cheng Ji, whose ancestral home is Longxi."
"Longxi Li?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Su. Although I'm originally from Longxi Chengji, I'm not from the Li clan in Longxi."
"A certain person was born in Lingnan, and was taught medical skills by a teacher. Later, the teacher practiced medicine in the countryside. When he met a patient, he diagnosed and treated him, but he was seriously injured and could not recover. The teacher was beaten by the villagers and was seriously injured, and he died a few months later."
Su Dingfang raised his head and glanced up. There was a hint of coldness in the expression of the young man opposite him.
This is a fact, a fact that Li Shan experienced personally. Although he was a doctor in the department next door, he was beaten to injury but did not die.
"After hearing the name of Su Lie, there is naturally a reason why I took action." Li Shan said softly: "At the beginning of the year, the King of Qin conquered Hebei, and my friend Li Demou accompanied his father to the battle for the first time. I saw with my own eyes the power of his steps, and he was extremely brave."
Su Dingfang nodded silently. This was a reasonable explanation, a reasonable explanation for his previous indifference and his subsequent decisive action.
The teacher once failed to save someone and was beaten to death, so he did not take action. Only after hearing the name Su Lie did he take the risk.
The name Su Dingfang was actually quite famous among the Hebei army. Although Zhou Zhao came from a poor family, he was immersed in writing papers. Guo Pu came to Hebei for the first time at the beginning of the year and had never heard of the name Su Lie.
Li Shan glanced at Su Dingfang's expression and wondered if he could fool him.
This was a prevarication he racked his brains to come up with. Not to mention that Zhou Zhao was still asking questions before going to bed, but Su Dingfang was also confused.
However... when I return to Chang'an, I must first review the confession with Li Kai... no, check the words.
"I first saved the lives of a whole village, and then diagnosed and treated my mother. This kindness will never be forgotten." Su Dingfang sighed: "Not to mention that when I saw Turks throwing children for fun, I was filled with righteous indignation and killed people to save others. This is a righteous act..."
Su Dingfang was a meticulous person. On the one hand, he was worried about his mother's injury. On the other hand, he spent the whole night preparing to leave tomorrow. He also sent someone privately to find out why Li Shan and others suddenly took action.
Soon, he found out clearly that it was because of the little girl who was thrown into the tree by the Turks. He even found out what Li Shan said.
"You can't bear it anymore, there's no need to bear it anymore."
For such a righteous act, what else could Su Dingfang say?
Not to mention the lives of all the uncles in the village, not to mention the dying mother. Su Dingfang had no other choice for such kindness, and he was ready to become a slave of the Li family.
Just when Su Dingfang spoke, Li Shan frowned slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, "I already said it just now, there is no need to mention this matter again."
Seeing Su Dingfang raise his eyebrows, Li Shan added: "If you consider someone to be your master, then you must be obedient. If you don't, can someone still admit you?"
Even though Su Dingfang was young and mature, and had experienced battlefields and officialdom for many years, he couldn't help but feel confused.
Those who sell themselves into slavery naturally have to be obedient, so they are not allowed to sell themselves into slavery in the Li family.
If you don't obey, you have to sell yourself into the Li family as a slave... If you don't obey, why do they still accept you as a member?
"I really can't do this kind of thing by asking for a favor." Li Shan looked sincere, wishing he could delete the memory of that evening from Su Dingfang's mind.
Su Dingfang hesitated for a moment and then his expression turned firm, "I have already made a promise, how can I let someone break his promise?"
Li Shan shrugged indifferently, "You promised, but you didn't promise, right?"
Su Dingfang was stunned, and realized that this was really the case... He kowtowed and made a promise, but the other party really didn't agree. He only heard his name and made diagnosis and treatment.
"You don't want me, but you insist on giving it to me. What's this called?"
"This is called bullying and dominating the market, this is called buying and selling by force."
Su Dingfang was completely speechless. He was stunned for a while and then punched the table.
"Bang!"
Zhou Zhao's snoring next door suddenly stopped.
"When I was young, I didn't study much and practiced martial arts diligently, but I also knew where justice lies." Su Dingfang gritted his teeth and said, "How can you not repay such a great kindness?!"
"Are you worried that a certain person is the King of Xia and the former member of King Dong of Han Dynasty?"
"If I guess correctly, the destination of this trip is not Beizhou, but Weizhou."
"Tian Liu'an was Wang Shichong's former subordinate. He later joined the Tang Dynasty and joined the Qin Palace. At the beginning of the year, the King of Qin conquered Hebei and fought in the Luoshui battle. Tian Liu'an made great military exploits and served as the general manager of Weizhou after the war."
"Li Daoxuan, the general manager of the march in Hebei Province, is a son of the clan and a direct descendant of the King of Qin. In the battle of Hulao Pass, a certain person personally saw this man charging into the battle, armed with hundreds of arrows, breaking the formation and raising the flag, causing the army to be defeated."
"I am under the command of the King of Qin."
The smile on Li Shan's face gradually faded away. It was really the shadow of a famous tree. No one who can leave traces in history is an ordinary person.
Li Shan felt that he did not reveal too much information, while Su Dingfang was only in his early twenties, but he could peel off the cocoon and accurately judge his political leanings.
"In the two battles of Hulao Pass and Luoshui, the King of Xia and the King of East Han were both defeated by the King of Qin. They were under the command of the King of Qin, so they resisted with all their strength."
Li Shan regained his cold expression, shook his head slightly and said: "First, a certain person had a good relationship with the King of Huaiyang and was praised by the King of Qin, but he did not enter the palace of the King of Qin.
Secondly, although the King of Qin defeated the King of Xia and Liu Heitai, he also took in the heroes of Hebei and Shandong, Qi Shanxing, the general manager of Xingzhou, and Cheng Wuting, the general manager of Xiangzhou, all of whom were former members of the Xia King."
Su Dingfang obviously didn't believe it, not any of it.
The reason is very simple. Qi Shanxing and Cheng Wuting both surrendered to the Tang Dynasty after the Battle of Hulao Pass. After the Battle of Luoshui, Li Shimin did not take in any of Liu Heitai's important subordinates.
Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai both seemed to rely on Hebei and Shandong for their rise, but in fact they were quite different.
From Su Dingfang's point of view, Li Shan was of the Qin King's lineage, and he was afraid that he would displease the Qin King by accepting him as his disciple. He was even more afraid that he would be resentful and even become Liu Heitai's second best.
Su Dingfang pondered for a moment and then asked: "How do you want me to do it before I accept it?"
A faint voice sounded outside the door, and as the door opened, Zhou Zhao, rubbing his sleepy eyes, smiled and said, "Just kill Fan Yuan's eldest son."
"Go back!" Li Shan finally realized that the snoring next door had not been heard for a while.
Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, he stood up, and his right hand was already touching the dagger at his waist... Indeed, Fan Yuan was the first person in Liu Heitai's tent, and he killed his eldest son with his own hands. Isn't this enough?
"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Shan almost jumped up from where he was and sat cross-legged for a long time. He staggered and almost fell.
"No need for this, no need for this!"
Li Shan grabbed Su Dingfang's hand and said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, listen to me first!"
Su Dingfang already held the dagger in his other hand, and just looked at Li Shan intently, waiting for him to speak.
How could this happen?
Li Shan really wanted to give Zhou Zhao, who was watching the fun, a big mouth!
"Brother Su captured Fan Jiazi alive. He obviously doesn't get along with Liu Heitai. How can I not trust Brother Su?"
This reason was so weak that Zhou Zhao couldn't help but chuckle.
But Li Shan still held on to Su Dingfang and refused to let go. I really believe it, I really believe you!
After the Xuanwumen Incident, the Turkic army moved south. Li Shimin signed the Weishui Alliance and began to prepare for revenge. Only three years later, Su Dingfang followed Li Jing in the northern expedition and led two hundred cavalry as the vanguard to break through the king's tent.
Obviously, Su Dingfang had no resentment towards the Tang Dynasty.
But the reason... I can’t explain it!
Li Shan deeply felt that sometimes it was useless to look at the answers, as he still couldn't solve the problem.
It’s the fourth chapter. I took the time to code it at noon. I should be able to code another chapter in the evening.
