Hearing Li Xingchen's decisive voice, Xiao Shilian suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Li Xingchen in disbelief: "Brother Li, you have to think carefully. Although our Xiao family is not a first-class family of powerful people, we can provide
Some help you want should still be available."
Xiao Mohe also raised his head and looked at Li Xinchen, nodding slightly.
As General Nanchen Wuyi and the next successor in the army, he could not do anything else, but at least it would be easy to arrange a stable position for Li Xingchen. No one in the government or the public would mind selling force.
General Yi has a face. For a normal man, all he wants is "wine, sex and wealth". If Li Xingchen wants these, Xiao Mohe will naturally satisfy him easily.
What was unexpected was that Li Xingchen took a step forward and solemnly handed over his hand: "I'm not kidding, I don't want anything."
"This..." Xiao Mohe frowned, and Xiao Shilian had a look of surprise on his face. There are many people in the world who want a promise from General Wu Yi, but why did Li Xingchen abandon him like nothing?
shoe?
Xiao Shilian was anxious and wanted to say more, but when he saw his father's raised hand, he immediately stopped talking. Xiao Mohe looked at Li Xingchen with interest: "Why? It is my Xiao family that repays the kindness of my benefactor.
It’s the long-cherished wish of two generations, little brother, don’t you want to give us this opportunity?”
Li Xingchen still shook his head, looked at the copper pendant that symbolized the friendship between Li Cheng and Xiao Liang, and said in a deep voice:
"When my father was still alive, he never mentioned this matter. This shows that in my father's heart, it was only natural to lend a helping hand at that time. Moreover, my father was an open-minded person throughout his life. I think that when he was still alive, he should have only sincerely wanted to
I got acquainted with your father, and I sincerely wanted to repay our safety, and I didn’t think that one day I would seek help from the Xiao family..."
The expression on Xiao Shilian's face became more solemn. Xiao Mohe slowly turned his back and looked at the copper ornaments placed on the table. The two copper ornaments that had been separated for more than fifty years were now brought together.
Although their once distinct edges and corners have been smoothed away, and although some of them are smooth and their original appearance cannot be seen, they are still as close together as they were fifty years ago.
Even without the sharp edges in the middle, the two pieces of copper ornaments are still tightly integrated at this moment, just like the two people who fought side by side outside Shixing City fifty years ago.
Xiao Mohe let out a long sigh and murmured: "Dad, I finally understand why you often say that it is a lifetime honor to get to know the Li family's benefactor... My benefactor lived an upright and upright life. When he was young, he fought on the battlefield, which made him feel angry.
Xiao feels ashamed that he still teaches his children well even when he is older. It is a blessing for my Xiao family that my father can have such a close friend and benefactor!"
Li Xingchen pursed his lips and remained silent, while Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xingchen quietly. For the first time, he was a little shocked to find that he could not see through this young man who was about the same age as himself.
At this time, Xiao Mohe turned around suddenly, reached out and patted Li Xingchen on the shoulder: "A child can be taught, a child can be taught! If given time, he can become a great weapon."
Xiao Shilian was even more shocked. His father fought bravely, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to behave. Xiao Mohe knew that he had a smooth career, so in addition to adhering to the basic principles of life, he had always been taciturn, right?
He is an out-and-out hard worker, and it is for this reason that he has been appreciated by three generations of Southern Chen emperors and generals: Chen Baxian, Hou Andu and Wu Mingche.
Therefore, Xiao Mohe's few comments were simply shocking. Xiao Shilian, who had always been familiar with his father's style of life, couldn't help opening his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. In an instant, he felt that there was something interposed between Li Xingchen and his father.
No words.
Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and without realizing it, thin beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead. Li Xingchen was actually a little forced to explain about the copper pendant just now.
Even though Li Cheng had never thought about owing favors to others in his life, it was obvious that in the end, Li Cheng still did not intend to let go of this opportunity. Not because he was stingy, nor because he was thinking about anything, but because
He was worried that Li Xingchen and Li Lian'er would be helpless in the future. For the dying old man, this was all he could leave to his children.
Facts have proved that a promise made by Xiao Mohe, the general of Nanchen Wuyi, is indeed very valuable.
But although Li Cheng thought so, Li Xinchen did not intend to do so. Although asking Xiao Mohe could bring him "wine, sex and wealth", this was not what Li Xinchen really wanted at this moment.
Li Cheng spent fifty years escaping from the world, and finally ended up like this when he was old.
Li Xingchen would never allow himself to follow the same path as his father. What's more, he knew better how many years Nanchen could sustain it? A war sweeping from north to south could completely engulf Li Xingchen at any time.
Li Xingchen does not seek "wine, sex, wealth," but an opportunity to display his ambitions.
Facts have proved that Xiao Mohe understands Li Xingchen's thoughts, so he is very pleased that his benefactor's descendant is not a playboy who wants to be a rich man. The children of the poor have long been in the past. Xiao Mohe, who has experienced war since childhood, understands this truth.
And I am very happy to see such a benefactor.
Because for Xiao Mohe, if he wants to repay his benefactor, the best thing he can do is not to give Li Xinchen a lot of "wine, sex and wealth", but to train Li Xinchen into a pillar of talent. I'm afraid this is also what Li Cheng
What he wanted to see most was also the important reason why Li Cheng took out the copper pendant.
When that benefactor left, I'm afraid he had a lot of regrets... Just like his father back then. Xiao Mohe slowly raised his head and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he got older, he...
I can now understand Xiao Liang more and more.
There was a bit of silence in the big tent for a while. Xiao Mohe came back to his senses, lowered his head slightly and looked directly into Li Xingchen's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Little brother..."
"The general is more than 20 years older than the boy. It is really inappropriate to call him brother. The boy should be called a junior." Li Xingchen hurriedly interrupted Xiao Mohe. What a joke. A man who is more than 20 years older than him is calling him little brother.
, even if Li Xingchen knew that the ancients had many "Niannian friends", he didn't want to really have "Niannian friends" with Xiao Mohe. What's more, if this was the case, Li Xichen would be taking advantage. Don't forget that there is a person next to him who always looks wrong.
Xiao Shilian.
His words naturally made Xiao Shilian feel a lot more comfortable. After all, according to the relationship between Li Cheng and Xiao Liang, Li Xingchen was actually a generation older than him. The original "Brother Li" became "Uncle Li". This Xiao Shilian
No amount can be accepted.
Xiao Mohe smiled slightly and said immediately: "Now you brothers and sisters have no place to stay. If you don't mind, you can stay in the army first. After all, your sister is still sick and needs a good rest. When the war here is over, it's time to go
How about you decide whether to stay or not?"
Li Xingchen didn't say much, but solemnly handed over his hand.
At this moment, a sentinel opened the curtain and walked in quickly: "Report to General, barbarian sentries were found forty miles north of the camp!"
