Qin Sheng nodded, took out a worm from the bait jar on the side, and helped Old Man Li's hook to replace it with bait. Then he handed the fishing rod to Mr. Li, but he had no intention of leaving.

Old Man Li didn't speak, but threw it lightly, and the hook fell into the lake with a dingdong, leaving only the buoy to float on the water.

This lotus pond is the Li family's own fish pond. The fish inside are fed every day, and I don't know how stupid they are compared to the wild fish.

Before, the Li family knew that the old man wanted to fish today, so they fed these fish only half full in advance, so that the old man would not be too easy to catch fish, but it was definitely not difficult.

And today, with the arrival of Qin Sheng, every time, when he re-strung the bait for Old Man Li, he would use his innate spiritual power to sweep over the bait.

In this way, the attraction to fish is undoubtedly much greater.

In short, in the afternoon when Qin Sheng sat with the old man, the old man turned out to be a fish in the rod, if the old man didn't stop himself, the slightly larger fish in this fish pond would probably be taken away by him.

Looking at the six big bags of fish that were muttering, Qin Sheng couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Old Man Li was very interested, and waved his hand and said, "Come and send these fish to the back kitchen, and the whole house will have a whole fish feast today!"

"Huh?" Qin Sheng didn't expect Old Man Li to have such an arrangement. However, he didn't say much, and when he saw Old Man Li waving at him, he nodded and followed Old Man Li back to the study.

Returning here again, Qin Sheng actually had an indescribable sense of belonging. It was here before that Old Man Li bluntly pointed out the weaknesses in his character, which made Qin Sheng have an epiphany in a year, directly break through the level, and enter the martial arts period from the eighth layer of gold.

But today, Old Man Li called him here again, but Qin Sheng didn't know what Old Man Li wanted to say to him.

"Thank you so much today!" Old Man Li sat at the desk, as if he thought of the excitement of the afternoon fish, and couldn't help laughing: "It's been a long time since I've had such a good time!"

Qin Sheng also smiled faintly, knowing that Old Man Li had already seen through his little trick when he was stringing bait in the afternoon, so he said, "I'm also worried that Old Man will blame me for affecting the entertainment of your game!"

"That won't be!" Old Man Li said here, suddenly like a naughty child, lowered his voice and said: "Actually, my favorite thing is cheating, I have long known that every time I fish, they will only feed the fish in the fish pond a day in advance, so that I can catch the fish the next day, but why do I still tell him one day in advance, I am going to fish?"

"Old man, you're cheating!" Qin Sheng couldn't help but feel speechless for a while when he heard this, feeling that this old man simply knew that people were cheating for him.

But he deliberately gave them the opportunity to do so, and listened to the meaning of this old man Li, and wished that those subordinates would starve the fish for three or five days in advance, so that he could catch the fish.

"Cheating?" Old Man Li stroked his beard and said, "Let me ask you, what's so bad about cheating? Could it be that I can't get the gratitude of this fish even if I can't fall off a single fish?"

After speaking, Old Man Li sneered and said: "I'm afraid not, if these fish can speak, they will definitely scold me, humiliate me, and despise me!"

Qin Sheng was speechless, but he finally understood some of Old Man Li's attitude towards life from these simple conversations.

In the past, he thought that Old Man Li must be the kind of outsider who was light-hearted, but now he realized the magnificent side of the old man's personality.

I only heard Old Man Li continue: "Qin Sheng, you probably don't know me as a person. In fact, what I hate the most is the process, what I like is the result, the result of winning, and the result of trampling the enemy under my feet. So the process doesn't really matter to me, and I don't have a preference for enjoying the process!"

After speaking, Old Man Li stood up again: "Why did I go fishing, naturally it was for the sake of the fish." If I can't catch a single fish, you tell me what's the point of fishing. Is it because I have nothing to do and will sit by the pond for a day?"

Qin Sheng was still speechless, but his thoughts about Old Man Li in his heart were completely overturned. This old man Li is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, it seems that Qin Sheng's previous approach to treating him as a charitable old man was very wrong.

Immediately, Old Man Li changed his words and said, "You suddenly want to develop the Qin family into a family, in fact, it has something to do with this morning's incident!"

"I don't know what Old Man Li is talking about?" Although Qin Sheng already had some eyebrows, he naturally couldn't say it directly.

There are some things that Old Man Li can say, but he can't.

"Naturally, it was the one thing you signed the contract on behalf of Xinhui!" Old Man Li really said bluntly: "I'm afraid it's this incident that made you have some other thoughts!"

"Don't dare, this matter is the emperor's personal substitution, as a courtier, it is normal to be loyal to the emperor!" Qin Sheng immediately denied it.

Joke, Qin Sheng dared to say this in front of anyone, and it was impossible to say these words in front of Li Hongzhang.

Who is Li Hongzhang, it is simply the existence of Emperor Dashun's father. Compared with Sheng Qiantao, he is much closer to the emperor. Saying these words in front of Li Hongzhang is no different from saying these words in front of Emperor Dashun.

"Okay!" Li Hongzhang shook his head and said, "It's normal for you to have ideas about this matter." You are the pride of the heavens, and you should be the brightest rising star of your generation. Now because of the emperor's words, your fate has been forcibly handed over to someone else, how can you be willing!"

Qin Sheng didn't speak, but lowered his head and fell silent. In fact, no matter how much he quibbles about this matter, he can't change other people's opinions at all, and no matter how much he says, it just gives people more room for imagination.

"Do you know why the emperor calls himself a widow?" Qin Sheng didn't speak, and Li Hongzhang didn't seem to have any idea of continuing this matter, so he immediately opened his mouth and shifted the topic to another matter.

Qin Sheng nodded: "I should know a little, it is probably the meaning of the Ninety-Five Honor, one person in the world." That's why I used the word widow!"

"That's right!" Li Hongzhang nodded: "No matter how close I used to be to him, no matter how close he was to me, but a widow is a widow, and he is the only one in the world, do you know what I mean?"

Qin Sheng nodded and shook his head again. In fact, this was almost obvious, and he couldn't wait to jump up and tell Qin Sheng that he and Emperor Dashun were actually just inseparable.

But how could Qin Sheng believe this kind of thing. Emperor Dashun's various performances towards Li Hongzhang can be seen that he has absolute trust in Li Hongzhang.

But what Li Hongzhang said now made Qin Sheng feel cold all over his body!

Alone, is this the true portrayal of an emperor? Actually, it's right, because he sees himself as a widow in the first place.

So the rest of the people are just objects that can be used by him.

Take Qin Sheng as an example, even if Qin Sheng died this time. He would be sad for a while, but soon Li Sheng, Wang Sheng, and Luo Sheng would take Qin Sheng's place.

They may not be as good as Qin Sheng, or they may not be as good as Qin Sheng.

But it is inexhaustible.

And Li Hongzhang seems to be the same, maybe everyone thinks that Li Hongzhang is the father of the country, but in the eyes of Emperor Dashun, Li Hongzhang is just one of many loyal ministers, and fate pushed him down this position.

Therefore, his trust in Li Hongzhang is mostly a belief in fate. It's not because of Li Hongzhang, or maybe it's not because of the Li family.

"Actually, you also saw it!" Li Hongzhang continued: "Li Changsheng was originally a long-lasting card of our Li family, but now that Li Changsheng is gone, he killed Sheng Qiantao when he left. Based on this alone, you should be able to see the current position of our Li family!"

"Empathize!" Qin Sheng smiled bitterly, Li Changsheng's killing of Sheng Qiantao was indeed a ** annoyance. Although it brought endless benefits to Emperor Dashun, it also gave Emperor Dashun an excuse to attack the Li family.

If Li Changsheng had been here, it would naturally be a different matter, but now that Li Changsheng is gone, the role of the Li family in Emperor Dashun can only be calculated in months.

Once Li Changsheng's doppelganger also loses its effect, then the Li family will become a lamb with slaughter!

And Qin Sheng thought of another thing, that is, the alliance between the Qin family and the Li family instructed by Emperor Dashun, once the Li family falls, the Qin family will be shed if it does not die.

"Since you can understand, it's best!" Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly: "The Qin family and the Li family, the moment Emperor Dashun spoke, they were already one, and you and I were the ones worth entrusting." At least, that's what Li Changsheng thinks!"

"But I still don't understand!" Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "Why is Emperor Dashun so transformed!"

"Transformation?" Li Hongzhang shook his head: "Actually, this is the true face of Emperor Dashun, when he was young, when everyone was questioning him, he once secretly told me that one day he will complete the great cause of his father, and he will unify the entire continent and become the first emperor of the ages, such a person, who was dormant before, I am afraid it is just because of insufficient strength!"

"Then ...... he now" Qin Sheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "What did he get so that he could finally show his minions with confidence?"

"Two points!" Li Hongzhang thought for a while and said, "First, it should be the treasure of his father Emperor Sheng Qiantao, and second, it is the thing that your father Qin Ruhai found from Southern Xinjiang!"
