Chapter 1 Chu Zhen (Part 4) seemed to have anticipated the intensity of Li Xu’s return. The Yuwen family only came to visit him with gifts on the fifth day after he returned to the camp. This considerate behavior made Li Xu feel more attached to Yuwen.
The favorability of the surname is a little more. In fact, leaving aside the factors of Tang Gong Li Yuan, Yu Wenshu and his son did not do anything detrimental to Xu Zi, although every time I heard Yu Wenshu speak, he was displeased with him.
Words are a kind of torture
Compared with the domineering General Yuwen last year, today's Yuwenshu looks very old. Although he is wearing an exquisite military uniform, it still does not show off his heroic spirit at all. This general who only lost one battle in his life is getting older.
The gray and dry hair, the wrinkled corners of the eyes, and the right half of the face that is always stiff and in sharp contrast to the left half, which have aged at a speed visible to the human eye within half a year, are constantly reminding people of what is before them.
The old man has entered his twilight years
The only thing that did not enter the late twilight was Yu Wenshu's eyes, which were shining with light as his eyes turned, as if they could penetrate into people's hearts all at once. Under the gaze of this kind of gaze, Li Xu felt a little restless, but he managed to hold on.
Don't let your face avoid Yu Wenshu's gaze. He is the wormwood that climbed up in humble circumstances. He has seen all the sorrow that the creatures on the muddy ground have encountered. In front of a clump of strange and noble nanmu, there is no need for wormwood.
Then show your humbleness to the other party
The lower he leaned, the more shadow he got. "Doing that won't do me any good!" Xuzi warned herself secretly in her heart. She met Yu Wenshu's aggressive gaze and gave him a plain and gentle smile. "I should have
The last general came to visit the old general Yuwen and the Prince Consort in person, but I just came back because I had a lot of things to do, so I accidentally missed the rude part, I hope the old general can forgive me!"
"Liu Lieutenant, you don't have to be polite. You have saved my life. I should have thanked you in person. But last year, I was lingering on the sickbed, so I wanted to thank you because I couldn't do it. Now that we have the opportunity to come, let's not use the polite words!"
"There was a smile on the left side of Yuwenshu's face, but the right side of his face remained expressionless. This made him look like he was sarcastic, although there was no word of dissatisfaction in his words.
"The general will not dare to take the credit. The prince-in-law and the governor relied on his own ability to fight his way out of the siege!" Li Xu made an invitation gesture to his tent and answered with a smile.
When you can't figure out your opponent's intentions, a smile is the best shield. The coppersmith master said this when he was instructing him on fighting skills. It is equally useful in a crowd. In front of Li Xu's harmless smile, Yu Wenshu left his face.
The smile slowly spread. Although the right side of his face remained stiff, there was a hint of friendliness in the corners of his eyes: "How many abilities does this child Shiji have? As a father, I don't know yet? No."
You, he had his head cut off at the Mazhai Waterfront a long time ago, how could he have a chance to return with the brigade!"
"The Commander-in-Chief is extremely resourceful. Without him, we would not have been able to successfully break into the Goguryeo company and rescue General Xue Shixiong with a trick of deception!" Li Xu smiled and let Yu Wenshu and his son into his bedroom.
The tent was conveniently hung up to serve as a window. The spring sunshine suddenly shot in from the sky, illuminating every corner of the tent.
"In times of danger on the east side of the Liao River, Sir Xiaowei still sacrificed his life to protect the soldiers. Without Mr. Xiaowei, my father and son would be like ghosts today!"
"Since we are Paoze, we naturally support each other. At that time, Li didn't even remember whose last name was who! I just didn't want anyone to fall in front of me!" Li Xu shook his head and replied in a low voice.
This is a true saying. The situation during the breakout was too chaotic. Li Xu relied on his sharp horse and sharp sword to rush ahead of everyone and come back several times to rescue his companions who were surrounded by enemy cavalry. Who was he rescued at that time? Or
Who blocked the attack from behind? He didn't remember that he only wanted to rush out alive and let more people rush out alive.
"Master Xiaowei doesn't remember it, but the Yuwen family dare not forget it!" Yuwenshu sighed, his words full of emotion.
"You're welcome, General!" Li Xu picked up the tea that had just been brewed and poured a cup for each guest: "I don't have any good tea here to entertain guests. If you two adults don't mind, just drink some to moisten your throat!
"
After saying that, he picked up another copper pot filled with cold water and hung it carefully on the charcoal basin that was blown by the wind.
"It would be nice to have tea. I remember the first few times I came here, Colonel Li only had cold water!" Yu Wenshiji grinned and started sticking out his red tongue again.
"It was unlucky that the Prince Consort came here last year, and I had already run out of tea cakes. The tea cakes this time were brought back from my hometown. I think they will last for a month or two!" Li Xu easily found one for himself.
Reason, to resolve Yuwen Shiji's attack invisible
"That means I have a good taste!" Yu Wenshu sat on the horse and sipped the tea and said with a smile. Suddenly, he frowned, picked up the tea and took another careful sip. His throat moved up and down several times, and he asked in surprise.
: "This seems to be the way southerners cook tea, which is very different from that in the north. Is it possible that someone in Li Xiaowei's family is from the south of the Yangtze River?"
"Junior, I cooked it according to the method I heard from hearsay. I accidentally made a mistake. I hope it can be enjoyed by the two adults!" Li Xu himself picked up a tea cup, tasted it, and responded with a smile.
"You always enter the grain protection army by accident. Did you save the lives of Tang Gong Li Yuan's family by accident? Did you get this fame by accident? Did you accidentally join Brother Zhongjian?
When will you be able to transfer some of this good luck to me?" Yu Wenshiji put down his tea cup and joked with a smile.
"With my status and deeds as the Prince Consort, I don't think he would be interested in my good luck!" Li Xu smiled and shook his head.
"Haven't you ever heard the saying that it's hard to have more money than you want?" Yu Wenshi and Tiansheng like to quarrel with others. Seeing Li Xu's response, they immediately started a new round of 'attack'
"I also know that manpower is limited!"
"One person's strength is inherently limited, so why not use the help of others to climb? Besides, the road is long and long, and it would be lonely to walk alone!"
"Please forgive me, Lieutenant Commander, for my limited knowledge!" Not wanting to get entangled with the other party endlessly, Li Xu simply admitted his ignorance.
"Only by knowing one's own shortcomings can one learn from others. It's not knowing too little, but knowing too much that makes one unstoppable..." Yuwen Shiji was unwilling to let Li Xu go, and continued to spit out his bloody tongue to invite a fight.
Yu Wenshu watched his son quarreling with Li Xu with great interest, without saying a word to stop him or helping anyone. After not seeing him for half a year, he suddenly found that the young man in front of him was much smarter. If it were said that this time last year, he had inadvertently put a piece of jade into his hands.
If regarded as a stone, this year, this piece of jade has begun to emit precious light. Anyone with eyes can see the warm color in it.
It's just that this piece of jade was dried on the balcony of Li's house, which makes people feel unwilling. However, how to quietly steal it to Yuwen's house is a very difficult challenge. If you don't grasp the scale well, I'm afraid.
Not only will the conflict between the Yuwen family and the Li family become deeper, but when this jade shines brightly in the future, the Yuwen family will inevitably be hurt by its sharp edge.
"As long as you are born in the world, you will inevitably have to deal with people. If you always act independently, you will naturally become tired. If you can use your strength, you will only go further and further, and the more you go, the easier it will be. The so-called "getting more help" is not necessarily the moral way.
He knows how to interact with people..." Yu Wenshiji kept chattering. Today's words were not as sharp as before. Rather than arguing with people, he was more trying to educate Li Xu in subtle ways. After a while, Li Xu
I also heard its true meaning, so I simply kept silent. Ren Yuwenshiji made the sky and the earth fall like flowers like rain (Note 1). After a moment, the three of them stopped talking and patiently picked up the tea cup and slowly drank.
Tasting the spring-like taste, it moved with the sun's shadow, and another pot of spring water hanging on the fire boiled like beads. Li Xu walked over, scooped out the water, added tea, stirred the flavor, raised it, and silently cooked the new one.
With a pot of spring tea, I replaced the old tea in the cups of the two guests, then poured half a cup for myself, and held it between my eyebrows to invite them.
Yu Wenshu and Yu Wenshiji quickly sat up straight and raised their lamps in surprise. At this moment, they suddenly felt that the master here should be Li Xu, not the two high-ranking governors and generals.
The host treated each other with a tea ceremony. If the guest continued to talk nonsense, it would pollute the atmosphere in the tent. The father and son looked at each other. In addition to surprise, they both saw appreciation and understanding in each other's eyes.
Although the other party's etiquette of making tea and entertaining guests was a bit unfamiliar, he told the visitor with every gesture that the owner here was independent and strong. "This piece of jade does not belong to the Li family. This young man has been trying to control his own destiny."
!" Yu Wenshu, who knew the answer, felt a little regretful, but in that moment, he felt more relaxed and happy than regrets.
After a moment of silence, Yu Wenshu put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Master Li is not greedy for merit and is proud of himself. If I insist on saying anything about repaying kindness, it will be a big disgrace to the scenery!"
Li Xu smiled and did not answer. He picked up the copper pot and put half a bowl of spring green in the tea cup in front of the old general.
"But I have the responsibility of commanding the army, and I have to do this to promote talents for the country." Yu Wenshu continued with a smile, "This tea is very good. I hope to drink this taste often in my lifetime!"
"If you have time, you are welcome, veteran general, to come and sit in my camp!" Li Xu held a cup in honor of Yu Wenshu who wanted to recommend him. He already knew the answer, but after today's exchange, the recommendation may not be consistent with Yu Wenshu's original intention.
same
Li Xu knew that he had grasped something, and he hoped that he could do better
