Chapter 39: Choice

Father Li put away the kind smile just now, and sat facing Li Jin with his lap in the face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This time, the father in front of Li Jin seemed to have changed his appearance again, and the eyes that looked at Li Jin were full of scrutiny and judgment, Li Jin felt that the official mansion in his imagination, after the book case under the four characters of the high hall and the mirror, should sit with such a pair of eyes, and be responsible for hearing the verdict.

Seeing this scene, Li Jin gathered his mind and sat quietly waiting for his father's next words.

Just after Father Li confirmed that his daughter was ready for Li Jin's expression, he said solemnly: "Jin'er, before I tell you something, I want to give you a choice." You have to decide carefully, and then give me your answers. Because once this choice has been made, there is no reversal. It's not that your father will stop you from going back, it's just that your choices will lead you down a different path, and when that journey begins, you will no longer have a way back. Understand, kid?"

Li Jin replied seriously with the same solemn expression: "I know, father. ”

In fact, when dealing with Concubine Jing and the emperor in the palace, especially when agreeing to the emperor's conditions, Li Jin had already realized in his heart, and intuitively knew that he had no room to turn back.

"Jin'er, life in the house, or the outside world, which one do you want to choose?"

Li Jin understood that his father's seemingly joking words were asking whether he chose to be protected or standing up to be protected, and he was also asking whether he wanted to take on the fate of the family. But this is a question that Li Jin got the answer to when he was already in the palace.

Therefore, Li Jin said almost without hesitation: "Father, I choose the outside world, and I choose to step out of the house in order to protect our home." ”

The expected answer is also a choice that Li's father does not want to hear.

Li Shilang hopes that Li Jin in his eyes will show even a trace of hesitation, because this is not enough to help Li's father. At the same time, it can also become the best reason to give yourself reason - refuse Li Jin to go out.

Just because the outside world, if there is no strong heart and firm belief, Li Jin will be devoured in an instant, let alone become the help of Li's father.

In fact, after Li Shilang heard Li Jin resolutely say that he had made an agreement with the emperor in the palace, this answer was what Father Li knew. But Father Li hoped in his heart that Li Jin would hesitate a little longer and choose to let himself protect her.

Even if Li Jin chooses to live in the mansion, Li Shilang will face more dangers than Li Jin's second choice, but it is better than the pain in Li's father's heart at this time-just because he wants to let his loved one face the fear and anxiety of the unknown storm, as well as the condemnation of himself.

Li Shilang stabilized his mind and said with a wry smile: "You kid, why don't you hesitate." ”

After that, he didn't say much, and unfolded the holy decree on his chest in front of Li Jin, and let her read it first.

In one of Li Jin's hands, she kept holding the wooden box that her father handed over to her. At this time, although his emotions had gradually stabilized, after seeing the content of the holy decree, he unconsciously pressed the oily wooden box tightly in the palm of his hand for a while.

"Silly boy, don't think about it. When Father Li saw it, he comforted Li Jin in a loud voice. And Li Jin smiled after raising his head before continuing.

"The wooden box in your hand is the emperor's reward. I think this decree and the jade pendant should have been sent to me shortly before you left the jade meditation fast. And it seems that the father-in-law who delivered the decree was cautious, probably except for the person who delivered the decree, and now there will be no third person who knows that there is a holy decree sent to the suburbs of Beijing today. Li Shilang said quietly.

Glancing at the wooden box in his right hand that he had been ignoring, Li Jin became more and more unable to understand the emperor's intentions.

Placing the wooden box that had left a deep red mark on his palm on the table, Li Jin asked, "The emperor's decree to my father was secretly sent to the outskirts of Beijing?

Master Li shook his head with a smile and said, "Although I didn't say anything, I said everything." ”

Since Lord Li received the emperor's holy decree, he has been hesitating in his heart, whether to bring Li Jin into this world of deceit, and since he has made up his mind to let Li Jin participate in it, he has to let Li Jin master all his survival skills in the fastest time.

So without waiting for Li Jin to ask carefully, he immediately continued: "Since you are going to do things for the emperor in a high-profile manner, then it will be the holy decree that will be announced to the world, so today's movement will become an entrance for those who are interested in exploring it." Besides, your agreement with the emperor that you will send a letter back every three days, have you ever thought about how the letter will be delivered?"

When Li Jin left the wing, the emperor reminded Li Jin: "Remember that you only have time to persuade Li Shilang tonight." ”

Li Jin didn't think about it at the time, he only thought that it was difficult for the emperor's strongman, and after listening to his father's words at this time, he thought about it seriously. Could it be that tomorrow the emperor will make a holy decree?

And then there is the promised epistle. If the agreed letter was the latest news that the emperor wanted to get from him, if he used a normal postman, although he did not have to worry about any confidential things being leaked in his letter, because Li Jin himself did not intend to write anything like this, but the correspondence between the frontier and the capital would take at least more than a month to arrive, and such news would be completely meaningless to the emperor.

In other words, Li Jin had to use a special channel to deliver the letter. After thinking about it like this, Li Jin read through the decree again, except for the country-oriented information that seemed to be encouraging and threatening for the first time, Li Jin's attention was attracted by the inappropriate information about himself that appeared on it this time.

Could it be that this jade pendant also has any other fame?

It's just that before Li Jin could ask his father the question, Li Jin's mother pushed the door in at this time.
