Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian took a deep breath. Xiao Mohe's words couldn't be clearer. Within three days, they are colleagues, and after three days, they are enemies. Subordinates who do not obey their orders or have dissatisfaction with them will not be punished by Xiao Mohe. It seems that there is obviously no difference between them and the enemy.
And Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen also knew that such colleagues were even more dangerous than the enemy on the battlefield. Thinking of Li Tianxia, the famous "travelling a thousand miles a day" in later generations, Li Xingchen felt chills in his back.
Although Xiao Mohe's approach is a bit extreme and even cruel, it may be the best choice in the face of the situation Xiao Mohe is facing now. After all, Xiao Mohe's next opponents are not only the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but also the officials of the Southern Chen Dynasty. If If these generals are at odds with each other, it is very likely that Xiao Maha will be stabbed in the back during his fight with the officials in the court.
For Xiao Mohe, taking this approach now is not only a helpless move, but also the most effective move.
Xiao Mohe turned around and walked towards the lobby, and Li Xingchen remembered something: "General Xiao!"
"Well, is there anything else?" Xiao Mohe seemed to be in a good mood and asked with a smile.
Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "This junior wants to look through some classics on the art of war. I heard that the general's collection is very rich. I would like to ask the general to lend it to this junior!"
I was startled for a moment. I didn't expect that Li Xinchen only wanted a few books. But then I thought about it. Li Xinchen grew up in the mountains and had almost zero access to books. Based on his previous remarks and decisions, it seemed that It has always had a "wild way" flavor, so it is reasonable for Li Xingchen to seek military training now.
What's more, Xiao Mohe has a straightforward temperament, and he is also a man of literary and military skills, so he naturally likes these juniors who are eager to learn.
"Of course," Xiao Mohe laughed and said, "Although there are many books collected in a certain family, they are mainly in the palace in the middle of the capital. There are only a dozen or so books here. Maybe they can only solve the urgent need of my nephew. Please ask my nephew. Don't be offended."
Xiao Mohe said it politely, so Li Xingchen naturally didn't dare to make any mistakes, and hurriedly raised his hand to express his gratitude.
Xiao Mohe waved his hands repeatedly: "After all, most of these books were collected by my father with great pains back then. Although many of them were scattered after the war, there are still quite a few left. If it hadn't been for your father, I'm afraid these books would have been in my family for a long time. If everything was looted by bandits, how can we talk about today?"
When he opened his mouth to mention the kindness between the two families, it was natural that Xiao Mohe's love and respect for Li Xinchen was included in it. It was obvious that Xiao Mohe was very satisfied with Li Xinchen's previous performance and his current attitude towards studying. This was a reminder to Li Xinchen and his family. It is not that there is no connection between them, they are even close friends, and Xiao Mohe completely regards Li Xingchen as his descendant.
Xiao Shilian also vaguely figured out Xiao Mohe's meaning, and said with a smile: "Brother Xin Chen, don't worry, as long as I, Xiao Shilian, can read a book in this world, I will naturally have a book by you!"
However, Li Xingchen did not shed tears of gratitude as expected, but bowed solemnly. Xiao Mohe pointed to a side room: "There are just a few books over there. My nephew is a guest of my Xiao family, so you can pick them up yourself. I still have some official business to deal with, you two young people can do it on your own."
Looking at Xiao Mohe's back, Li Xingchen took a deep breath: "Brother Xiao, let's go shopping on the street first."
Xiao Shilian nodded: "Follow me, my family is clean."
Xiao Mohe had already walked to the lobby at this time. When he climbed up the stairs, he subconsciously stopped and pondered for a moment. Xiao Mohe couldn't help but turn around, and happened to see Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen in front of him.
The leaving figure.
This general who had been following Chen Baxian on the battlefield since he was thirteen years old stretched out his hand to rub his chin with great interest and murmured: "I am not surprised by favors and humiliations. I am so calm. I don't know what kind of beautiful mountains and beautiful waters it is that only extraordinary people can teach me."
There is such a person. The Spear King of Shiheung, who impressed my father so much, is indeed quite capable and deserves this title. Heroes have appeared in this country for generations, so it is important to get a glimpse of this world's heroes."
After a pause, Xiao Mohe squinted his eyes and watched Li Xingchen's figure disappear from the door: "I just don't know... will this future be a general, or a tycoon who will stir up troubles in the world?"
Seemingly realizing something, Xiao Mohe shook his head and laughed at himself: "Xiao Yuanyin, Xiao Yuanyin, if you don't know where to go next, how can you calculate the future and destiny of others!"
At that moment, Xiao Mohe flicked his sleeves and walked straight into the lobby.
It seems that everything behind him has nothing to do with him for the time being.

Although Zhongli City is not big, it is small but has all the internal organs.
Turning out of Xiao's courtyard, you can't walk very far. There are many restaurants, brothels, and shops, criss-crossing each other, row after row, and indistinguishable from each other. In this small city, but with a large number of people because of the garrison, there is really no space.
With so much money, it's good enough to grab a piece of land. Who cares what the competitors next to you do?
It is for this reason that before taking Li Lian'er out, Xiao Shilian carefully found her his own clothes and dressed her up properly. Li Lian'er's figure is not big, and she is still similar to the stout women in the mountains.
It's very different, plus the brocade clothes and green scarf and the folding fan in the hand, once you stop there, it actually has a bit of flavor.
It's just that... Li Xingchen frowned and looked at his sister who was dressed in men's clothing. It would be a bit far-fetched to say that this is a handsome young man in troubled times, or that he is a handsome man with a handsome face. Li Xingchen believed that as long as he faced her head-on,
Even if that person is not blind, he can see that this is a daughter's family through and through.
After all, there is no Adam's apple and the chest is somewhat bulging no matter how hard I tighten it. These problems cannot be covered up no matter how hard I try.
As for the so-called men disguising themselves as women in the novels and legends to deceive people, Li Xingchen has no fantasy to come true. Unless it is to deceive those who are just starting out and have never seen anything, anyone with a little experience in the world can watch it.
Clues come out.
Clearly feeling the worried look in Li Xingchen's eyes, Xiao Shilian laughed and said: "Brother Xingchen, don't worry, sister Lian'er, this outfit is just because the order in Zhongli City is not very good, so I just covered it up. After all, the real
What works is the face of XX, I guess not many people who see XX dare to come up and cause trouble."
Li Xingchen rolled his eyes and snorted.
Li Lian'er glared at Xiao Shilian with dissatisfaction: "Who is your sister!"
"Okay Lian'er, don't be rude." Li Xingchen said with a chuckle, "Brother Xiao, please."
When Brother A spoke, Li Lian'er did not dare to say anything more and puffed up his cheeks angrily. Xiao Shilian chuckled and left first, as if he was afraid that the young aunt would catch him and beat him up.
The last time I stepped on his foot is still fresh in my memory.
