This was Li Shushi's first feeling when he looked at the young man opposite.
Although the body of the figure in the memory was more prosperous, and the face was more haggard due to alcohol and sex, it was far from being compared with the rosy and healthy face of the young man in front of him now.
However, there are still too many similarities between the appearance of the two people, especially the pair of eyes that look as calm as water, but upon observation, you can find that there is sadness behind the calm, as if they were cut out of the same mold.
Of course, the reason why Li Shushi was able to see what the other party had deliberately hidden was because when the young man looked at him, a sudden flash of intense emotion in his eyes caused what he had concealed so well to explode at that moment.
came out.
It's just that Li Shushi didn't know why the young man in front of him was so excited when he saw him. Even if the guy who still controls Luoyang wouldn't say anything derogatory to him on weekdays, he would never deliberately look up to him.
high.
The two people just stood there face to face, forgetting the difference in status and their original purpose.
The others didn't warn Li Shushi because they didn't know his intentions. Only Zhao Yun might have felt that such an atmosphere really made him feel uncomfortable, so he persisted for a while and finally couldn't help but cough a few times to relieve the constant noise in his body.
The awkward feeling. Also because of the sound he made, Li Shushi and the boy opposite woke up from a certain state at the same time.
"Your Majesty, Li Xue, the pastor of Bingzhou, has met with your Majesty."
"My dear, please be safe. My dear, you have guarded the frontier for my great man for several years, so that the barbarians at the frontier do not dare to go south. It is really a tribute to your hard work."
"Your Majesty is serious. I just did what I was supposed to do. I don't deserve your Majesty's praise."
What follows is a conversation about kindness and filial piety, which is indispensable even though it is not nutritious. It can be seen from the words of the boy opposite that he picks up easily but has no flaws and is very skillful. It can be seen that he has received a good education in this aspect.
Of course, after so many years, Li Shushi, who answered questions so smoothly with him, could not be said to be an experienced person, but he could be considered to be quite familiar with this circle, because the smoothness of his answers was not nearly as smooth as that of the other party.
"My dear, come with me. Such hot innocence makes me not want to stay any longer."
After saying that, the young man turned around and walked forward. Li Shushi, who was so surprised when he met the other person halfway that he had ignored his own location, finally realized that the two of them were not in a palace.
Perhaps it’s because this place is too empty. Not only are there no heavily guarded troops as expected, but there are not even a few maids and attendants who maintain the daily operation of the palace, and even the theoretically most noble emperor in the Han Empire is not around.
He was just following two peers.
Li Shushi threw all his thoughts to the back of his mind and followed quickly, but inadvertently, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Zhao Yun's face that was mixed with sadness and confusion.
Do you feel uncomfortable with this strong contrast because you have experienced the majesty of the emperor during the Ling Emperor period?
However, Zhao Yun's face reminded Li Shushi of the young man's expression before he turned around. It was an expression of peace of mind and satisfaction. Could it be that the young man got any information he needed from the unhelpful reply just now?
If that is the case, perhaps this young man's mind is more mature than his already mature actions.
"Li Zhoumu doesn't need to be polite. Let everyone come in. There is no need to put away the weapons. Anyway, except for a few special places, this place is very empty. Recently, the number and time of the guards who are supposed to guard the palace have appeared in those places more and more.
The more.”
The 20,000 elite troops brought by Li Shushi were stationed outside the north gate of Luoyang. Now there are only a few hundred personal guards and some important followers following him. The large army outside the city has Luo He, a humanoid radar.
Beings are naturally not afraid of changes from other forces, and because Li Shushi has a group of fierce generals and powerful soldiers around him, he doesn't need to worry about his own safety at all.
According to the etiquette of the palace, a minister like him who has not been awarded "praise and worship without fame, enter the court without trends, and go to the palace with swords and shoes" can be regarded as treason even if he brings weapons to the palace, let alone bringing a group of private guards to the palace.
However, for now, I am afraid that even if he really rebels and kills the emperor, no one will pay attention to it for a while.
Of course, Li Shushi was more curious about what the "place" that the young man said that was popular with soldiers was, because according to what the other party meant, these "places" were obviously in the palace, so there was no such thing as a wine shop and a brothel.
It may appear in the palace but it is the most favorite place for men, so it has to be crossed out.
So what other place in the palace is so attractive?
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Li Shushi's mind, but then he felt a crisp and itchy feeling in his waist.
Well, seeing the angry look on the face of a bright-eyed "private soldier", Li Shushi knew that he was being harassed by the other party's "mind-reading" again, and at the same time, he also confirmed that his thoughts were clearly on target.
"Li Zhoumu doesn't need to mind because of this. Those women should have been sent back to their hometown when my father left. It's just that he has experienced too many things during this period, and he can't take care of them for a while. Anyway, they are all hard-working women.
, Although the Xiliang Army is a bit rude, Prime Minister Dong is generous, and the treatment of the Xiliang Army is not much different from that of the capital. It can be considered a normal destination to follow them, at least it is better than being in this cold, lonely and gloomy palace.
Get older slowly."
As if he noticed that Li Shushi's expression changed again and again, thinking that he was minding something, the young man explained softly.
Of course, the young man obviously underestimated the openness of Li Shushi's thoughts, or underestimated the understanding of a former bachelor and dead man for people who had the same experience. He also underestimated the extent to which Li Shushi despised the imperial authority.
However, Li Shushi also believed that the young man's explanation was obviously not just intended to convey the inside story of an incident to him, because there were too many hidden contents in the young man's words, enough to make anyone imagine.
extent.
Is this a kind of test for yourself?
Looking at the calm young man in front of him, Li Shushi suddenly wondered whether the discussion about "self-confidence" between him and Jia Xu was a joke, or could it be that the young man's appearance was what Dong Zhuo expected?
Well, speaking of it, even the First Emperor seemed to have experienced a career of being insulted and ridiculed by others when he was young. Just think about the fact that the First Emperor wanted to trap and kill all the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom no matter what, you can imagine this
How much unknown anger is buried in your heart?
Of course, according to rural unofficial historians, it may also be because there are too many "godfathers" above his head.
"Soldiers do jobs that involve high risks, and military laws are far more stringent than ordinary people, and they often have to train and fight in harsh environments. However, the status of soldiers who have sacrificed so much is far inferior to those of ordinary people.
Ordinary civilians do not have much security in their lives, so most soldiers feel a sense of precariousness, so it is natural to act in extreme ways."
"Is that so?" The young man seemed to be very interested in this question, and his face showed a little innocence.
Of course, Li Shushi couldn't guarantee that it was just the actor-level performance of the other party. After all, politicians, especially those living in such adversity, should not be underestimated, even if the person standing in front of him was just an elementary school student.
Graduation kids.
However, he felt that it wouldn't matter even if he said it, so Li Shushi roughly told the child in front of him his thoughts, and the other party listened to Li Shushi's words very carefully. From a distance, he looked like a big brother giving a serious speech to the child.
The younger brother explained the homework normally. However, the serious younger brother obviously had a lot of questions, which made the elder brother who was good at teaching others scratch his head and head frequently.
Seeing Li Shushi sweating profusely and not knowing how to explain it so that he could understand, the young man might not be able to bear it anymore. With a "poof", the young man finally laughed out loud, although there were still traces of trying to suppress it.
But until this moment, Li Shushi felt that the boy in front of him looked like a child who was still in elementary school.
"When I was a child, I heard people in the palace say that Li Zhoumu had no knowledge and skills and only wanted to flatter the late emperor. Now that I see it, I know that this statement is often untrue, but it is not nonsense. I, I really haven't laughed like this in a long, long time.
.”
Hearing the young man's words, Li Shushi secretly sighed slightly. Although the young man was still smiling, Li Shushi could feel that the innocence just now had disappeared from the young man's face in an instant, and was replaced only by facial muscles.
It was just an inertial tremor, or it should be said that the boy just lost his composure for a moment.
"However, I understand the principles of generalship very clearly. Li Zhoumu is indeed the pillar of my great man."
Hearing such compliments, Li Shushi couldn't be happy. He felt a sense of helpless frustration and a sense of alienation due to the huge gap. Although the other person still had a smile on his face, he couldn't let it go.
People feel a little warm.
Is this feeling given to everyone he meets by the young man in front of him, or is it given only to himself?
Could this be what Dong Zhuo calls "confidence"?
Seeing the smile of the young man in front of him, Li Shushi couldn't help but recall the man who was called a foolish king by the world.
As a powerful emperor, the pressure that the other party put on Li Shushi was actually far more substantial than the one in front of him. But for some reason, Li Shushi was much more relaxed when he was with him. When the two of them talked about rising,
You can also really laugh.
It sounds amazing, but Li Shushi does miss the original feeling a little bit.
It's just that that time is destined to be gone forever. Although the young man in front of him can vaguely see the face of his old friend in his eyes, he can never replicate the same smile or the same mood.
Because the real troubled times have arrived.
Because each of them is struggling desperately in this troubled world.
