Are you here to relax in the park?" asked the brocade-robed man with a smile on his face, looking at Bai Qi.

"Uncle, are you here to relax?" Bai Qi didn't answer him, but asked him.

Even if there is a natural sense of closeness, Bai Qi will never trust strangers easily, just an ordinary chat as a stranger.

The brocade-robed man knew that Bai Qi was a little defensive and cautious about him, but he was not angry, and it was normal for anyone to have a cautious mood.

"Yes, there is no one at home to worry about, so I want to go out for a walk. The brocade-robed man sighed, and then sighed with a somewhat complicated gaze, and his mood became low.

Bai Qi looked at him, especially feeling that his mood was not high, and his mood sank down somehow.

"Tell me about it if you'd like. Although Bai Qi was not sure if he would say it, he still asked out of comfort. But unexpectedly, the man in the brocade robe was stunned for a moment, then laughed, nodded and said, "Of course you can, but I don't know if the young man is willing to listen?"

"Say it, I'll listen. Bai Qi has nothing to do, and he is willing to listen to this charitable stranger talk about his affairs, and if he says deeply, he can also shut up and not let the man feel bored.

The brocade-robed man pursed his lips and smiled, and then looked at the tree not far away, there were two fallen birds, playing, and then a bug crawled up to the two birds, and the two birds fought for the bugs, and after a while the failed bird chattered non-stop, and then dispersed.

"Young man, do you say that brotherhood is strong? Could it be that it is also like this bird, because of a worm, so that it forgets its former brotherhood, and thus becomes an enemy?"

Bai Qi could see from the first glance that this man was not a simple person, although he was kind, but he must also be a master with a deep background, it can be seen from the man's words and deeds, and in addition, since the appearance of the man in the brocade robe, there have been inexplicably more momentum of several pinnacles.

Although he felt scattered, Bai Qi knew very well that these strong men were guarding the man in front of him.

Bai Qi listened to his question and didn't answer him immediately, this question seems simple, but it is not easy at all.

Since ancient times, there have been stories of most brothers separating each other, not to mention that the lord of this empire also robbed his brother of the throne.

"Uncle, do you think your brother has changed, or has you changed?" After thinking for a while, Bai Qi raised his head and looked at him, looked at his eyes, and asked very seriously.

The brocade-robed man was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought, he had never considered this question.

"Uncle, if your brother has changed, it is his personal choice, although it is regrettable but just let it be, but if your heart has changed, then ask yourself, what is there about your brother that makes you dissatisfied or disappointed. ”

"A lot of times, this strangeness is accumulative, starting with a small thing, gradually growing bigger, and finally becoming a fuse. ”

"Besides, I have always felt that there is not only a blood bond between brothers, but also an element of contention, fighting for power and profit, fighting for family property, if it is the royal family..."

The man knew what Bai Qi meant, and he understood what he should do, but he was still a little confused, and he had always been confused.

Bai Qi looked at him, and then smiled and said, "Uncle, let me tell you a story, it is a story that is spread in my hometown." ”

The brocade-robed man nodded curiously, waiting for Bai Qi to continue.

Bai Qi thought about it for a while, in ancient times, there were many things where brothers turned against each other, such as between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's famous seven-step poems, these are all.

But Bai Qi finally chose the matter between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng and told the man in the brocade robe, because Bai Qi probably knew the man's identity from the team just now.

Although the illness is uncertain, at least he should be a big man, so it is more effective to tell this story.

"We have a small country called Tang, there is an emperor named Li Yuan is Tang Taizong, he has several sons, but the most outstanding two, one is the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the other is the second king of Qin Li Shimin, the eldest Shangwen, the second is from the martial arts, one helps his father to govern the court in an orderly manner, and the other is fighting abroad, and there are few defeats. ”

"If the second King of Qin is mediocre, forget it, but he is very capable, has the talent of the emperor, naturally and the eldest brother Li Jiancheng also have to compete for the throne, and finally on a certain day in a certain year, they broke out a conflict, Qin King Li Shimin led his loyal subordinates to kill the boss Li Jiancheng in a palace called Xuanwumen, and finally forced his father to take the throne half a year later, and became the emperor. Speaking of this, Bai Qi saw that there was an indescribable meaning in the glasses of the brocade-robed man, nervous, expectant and angry.

But when Bai Qi stopped talking, the brocade-robed man reacted and asked Bai Qi with a smile: "Young man, why don't you say it?"

"Uncle, the story of the brotherly dispute has been told, if I continue to talk about it, it will be after the second Li Shimin became the emperor. Bai Qi smiled faintly and said to him.

The brocade-robed man didn't know for what purpose, and he wanted to continue listening.

"Go on, he can do something like killing his brother and forcing his father, and he probably isn't a good person, right?" When he asked this, the man in the brocade robe showed a hint of self-deprecation.

Bai Qi didn't look at his expression, otherwise he would be sure of his judgment, but after listening to his words, Bai Qi shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "Uncle guessed wrong, he may have a problem with life, but he is definitely a good emperor, he likes to admonish, Li Jiancheng has a subordinate named Wei Zheng, not only did he not kill Wei Zheng, but also let Wei Zheng look at him, how to be a good emperor, since then for many years, Wei Zheng has a dare to be straightforward, a dare to admonish, and he has the heart to dare to admonish." ”

Not only that, but he also dared to employ people, gave up the various noble lords of the dynasty, and reused the children of the poor family to increase the vitality of the court, and then he cleared the court barriers, and was merciful to the people, once a hundred death row prisoners were released by him for a month to see their relatives at home, and when they came back a month, if they were replaced by other prisoners, they would have fled long ago, but the emperor's mind infected every death row prisoner, and the last month came back, and none of them ran. ”

He was overjoyed and pardoned the sins of a hundred death row inmates and let them go. ”

"It is such a Li Shimin who killed his brother and forced his father, but it is Li Shimin who is needed by everyone, so he has the reputation of the first emperor through the ages, maybe he has done a lot of wrong things, but how can people be perfect?" Bai Qi smiled, and then looked at the man in the brocade robe, but found that the man in the brocade robe looked much firmer, and the previous doubts were all swept away at this moment.

Bai Qi's example made him seem to have found something, something that had been lost before.

Bai Qi didn't bother him, but probed his divine sense into the remnant blood bracelet, and found that the little black dog was still sleeping, and he had been sleeping since he had eaten the elixir, but it had grown a lot.

Bai Qi withdrew from his divine sense, and saw the brocade-robed man slowly sit up from the chair, and there was an extra kind of pressure from the superior on his body, which made Bai Qi a little difficult to breathe.

I really guessed correctly, this brocade-robed man is not a simple person.

The brocade-robed man also realized that his momentum was flowing out, and hurriedly took it back, then looked at Bai Qi and smiled apologetically: "Young man, I'm sorry, I scared you." ”

"It's okay, uncle, there are a lot of strong people in the empire, I've long been used to it. Bai Qi pursed his lips and smiled, and shook his head.

The brocade-robed man looked at Bai Qi in surprise, and then asked, "What do you mean, you are not from the Central Empire?"

"Well, no, I'm from a small place called White Country. Bai Qi nodded and briefly introduced himself.

When the brocade-robed man heard this, he was a little surprised and asked, "Is your name Bai Qi?"

"Uncle knows me?" Bai Qi was a little surprised this time, and looked at him and asked.

The brocade-robed man showed a bright smile, then pointed at the people around him, and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know now that a five-grade alchemist was mistaken for a rebel and was arrested in the Shen Criminal Division, and now he is out." ”

"You have been wronged in the Shen Penal Division, the five-grade alchemist is very noble, it is estimated that this time the lord of the empire will compensate you. The brocade-robed man said, then pursed his lips and smiled mysteriously.

"There is no need for compensation, just don't let this happen in the future. Bai Qi shook his head, he didn't care about any compensation, all he wanted was that the Ice Prince Yao Bing could pay the price.

"It's not early, I'm leaving, so let's go back early, young man. The brocade-robed man stood up, patted Bai on the shoulder, and then remembered something, and took out a black card from his arms.

"Thank you for talking to me, this card is a VIP card for the Imperial Alchemy Conference next week, you are an alchemist, going to the Alchemy Conference is good for you, and it can be counted as a gift from me." The brocade-robed man stuffed the black card into Bai Qi's hand, then turned and left.

Bai Qi looked at his background and was silent.
