"It's an excuse. Life in the world is as small as a big dream, and the white horse is just passing by. A person is first and foremost an independent person, who should have his own persistence and moral standards. Anything that is inconsistent with this moral standard and persistence should not be compromised. In this way, what else is there to be confused and hesitated?" Li Ke carried a hollow cricket woven of beautiful grass leaves, and stood in the barren grass and looked at Changsun Jun condescendingly.

The eldest grandson was suddenly stunned, only to feel that the long-term swaying and confusion seemed to be suddenly frozen. The whole life that is as dark as the night seems to have been suddenly lit by this word.

He looked at Li Ke in a daze. The noble prince with deep eyes looked at him calmly, and then continued: "What's more, your family's honor and interests do not conflict with the kind of person you want to become. It's just that the path is different from theirs, but the path is the same. ”

"Different paths to the same destination?" Changsun Jun only felt that he was becoming more and more sober.

Li Ke said very seriously: "Yes, different paths lead to the same end. The honor of a person, the honor of a family, can be obtained in many ways. Wenchen can be like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who are called Fang Mou Du Judgment, or like Wei Zheng, who is not afraid of power and speaks out, and can even become a great Confucian like Confucius. A military general can make achievements on the battlefield, can strategize and command, can defend the country for decades, or can be like your grandfather with unparalleled martial arts and strategy, and become a hero to admire. Of course, there are many other heroes, many other honors. For example, Shennong, Bian Que, Hua Tuo, and even today's Mr. Sun and Mr. Wang are all medical experts. Etcetera. ”

In the past, his vision was actually very narrow, but after a lifetime, he met Ah Zi again, got along with Ah Zi every day, and listened to her talk about her time and space. He suddenly realized that his past self was too narrow, and he thought about the big thing at the wellhead. Moreover, he understands that if some things are outside the existing horizon, he will find how ridiculous and pathetic those things are.

The eldest grandson was originally just because of Ah Zi's arrival, thinking of the opposing position and impossibility between himself and her, and he was infinitely melancholy. When he returned to his tent, he drank a lot of wine. The wine was not drunk in his throat, but it was even more depressing, and he was desperate to find someone to talk to. However, looking at the envoy of this mission, except for Ah Zi, there is only Li Ke.

At first, he just wanted to talk to Li Ke casually, but he didn't expect that the problem that had been bothering him would be solved by him in a few words.

"Different paths to the same end!" he said, as if he had found a treasure, and his face regained his light.

"Of course, we're just drunk. Li Ke said very seriously, and knitted a hollow cricket in his hand, which was parallel to the previous one in gray-brown color, which turned out to be the same.

The eldest grandson laughed and said, "Yes, we are just drunk." However, he spit out the truth after drinking. I accepted the generous gift of the King of Shu. ”

"Don't. All yes and no's are all your own understanding. If you want to say that I sent you, I am afraid that my uncle will find me desperately and say that I will bring his son badly. Li Ke waved his hand, looking disgusted.

The eldest grandson stood up and patted the grass leaves on his body, his mood was already comfortable, and he replied, "Yes, yes, I realized it myself." ”

"If it's okay, you go back to the camp tent to wake up the bar, and when Ah Zi is rested, we will leave for Chang'an to resume our lives." Li Ke said, stretching out his slender index finger to touch the tentacles of the grass leaf cricket.

"Hmm. "Changsun Jun only feels that his body and mind are comfortable, if he says that small piece of black green in his heart, or after he makes the right choice, everything will be different.

"I went back. Li Ke gently placed the two straw crickets in his palms and carefully put them together.

"Thank you. Changsun Jun said.

Li Ke paused and said, "The eldest grandson is polite." ”

"King Shu, actually, I have one more thing I want to ask. "Eldest Sun Jun felt that he had simply opened up the conversation today, so it was better to open up and say.

"Is it necessary?" Li Ke glanced at him.

The eldest grandson took a step forward, stood close to him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know that I like Ah Zhi very much?"

"She only likes me. Li Ke stared at the eldest grandson and said indifferently.

"yes. The eldest grandson laughed self-deprecatingly, feeling that he was really stupid, and asking Li Ke this sentence was simply sent to the door and killed in seconds.

"She's a good woman, and it's normal to like her. Li Ke said again.

"Aren't you upset?" asked the eldest grandson, and suddenly felt that he had asked something stupid.

Sure enough, Li Ke shook his head and said, "No, you like her because she is excellent." But she only likes me. ”

The eldest grandson suddenly felt that he had been stabbed in the chest again, and he regretted it very much, and scolded himself in his heart: Why am I talking about this topic?

"Aren't you afraid that I will be obsessed with her, plot against her, and be your enemy?"

In fact, he really thought about it: If he really killed Li Ke and went to marry Ah Zhi himself, would Ah Zhi be with him? He gave the answer himself, and it would be sad to think about it.

"She likes me. Even if I die, what does it matter to you?" Li Ke shrugged and said, "You are such a smart person, you shouldn't ask me this question. ”

"Hmm. It really shouldn't. "Changsun Jun is also self-deprecating.

"It's nothing, I'm going back, it's too hot. Li Ke said.

"Li Ke, in our group of people, since I was a child, I only admired you, and I hope to become a confidant and friend with you. Eldest Sun Jun did not answer Li Ke, but said to himself.

"We, at least for now, are unlikely. Li Ke made it very straightforward that he didn't want to have anything to do with him at the moment.

"I know. I just hope that one day, when I get to the kind of person I want to be, we can be friends. Eldest Sun Jun smiled.

Li Ke squinted slightly, the eldest grandson Jun at this moment was radiant, and Fang Cai's lost soul and the appearance of the swinger brother in the past were like two people.

"I'll wait. Li Ke also said solemnly.

Then, the two of them stopped talking and turned away from the cliff. The eldest grandson returned to the tent with brisk steps and a good mood, and began to write a list of the people around him, and he wanted to remove all the eyeliner that his father and the people in the family had placed around him. Then, he had to plan to see if he could convince his father. After all, it was his father, and he was still reluctant to directly fight him.

Li Ke returned to the new camp with two crickets in his hand. Because the previous tent gave Ah Zi a rest, he ordered someone to quietly set up another tent next to the previous tent.

He put the two straw crickets on the table, thinking that Ah Zi would be happy to wake up and see it, and he couldn't help but smile softly on his lips. Outside the door, Jinyun and Li Nan, who had finally climbed up the mountain, came to report.

Li Ke sat quietly in front of the desk, listening to their report on Ah Zi's affairs on this road, a heart was full of pity, but also proud: his woman was more powerful than he imagined, and he only had himself.

"You said Ah Zi can control the white phoenix bird?" Li Ke asked in surprise.

Jinyun and Li Nan looked at each other and glanced at each other, and Li Nan asked cautiously, "Childe, haven't you seen the white phoenix bird?"

Li Ke shook his head and said, "Ah Zi came to my tent by herself, I thought she was fast, so I didn't ask." ”

"It was the white phoenix bird who took her and flew up directly. Jinyun said very firmly.

Li Ke frowned and said, "Don't talk about this matter to others, even if the white phoenix bird leads the way, don't talk about it." Do you know?"

"Don't worry, your subordinates understand. Both replied.

"Puff is not guilty, but he is guilty. Ah Zi has no other thoughts, but if this kind of thing is known by someone with a heart and used to make a fuss, she and I will be in danger. Li Ke said very seriously.

Jin Yun and Li Nan nodded repeatedly, and then said: "According to the news from Chang'an, the eldest grandson family has lost a house, and there is no more movement. However, Zhang Jia of the Zhang clan in Hedong was in charge of Zuotunwei, and Zhang Jia's style this time did not show any movement for the time being. In addition, the Xiao family sent people to Shuzhong. ”

"It seems that the show is really exciting, and all parties are in the role. Li Ke sneered.

"Childe, are you closely monitoring Zhang Jia?" asked Li Nan quietly.

"The Zhang family, don't worry about it for the time being. But this Xiao clan sent someone to Shuzhong secretly, do you know where to go?" Li Ke replied.

Zhang Jia is still atoning for the things of his previous life, and before he left, he promised to guard the six rooms of the Yang family. Although Zhang Jia is not a hero, from the contact in his previous life, he can be regarded as a promise. Now, what worries about it is Shaw's movements.

"Lin Qiong, according to the spies' report, is to visit a well-known Taoist priest. Jinyun replied.

"Daoist, do you know the details of that Taoist?" Li Ke intuitively felt that there was danger.

"The Jiang government has secretly investigated, and the news has not yet come. Jinyun reported.

Li Ke sank his face and sneered: "Although the Xiao clan has been in business for a long time and has controlled Jiannan Dao, he doesn't really have much power in Shu. Inform the Jiang government to assist Dusk Cloud Villa in sending me all the Xiao clan to prison. ”

"Dusk Villa is just a businessman. Childe, I'm afraid that Dusk Cloud Villa is not enough, right?" Jinyun was a little worried.

"Although Duyun Villa is a businessman, it controls the land transportation between Shuzhong and the outside world. The imperial court will also give some face. If Twilight Cloud Villa encounters some bandit murderer. The imperial court will not ignore it. Li Ke said slowly, his fingers lightly looking at the case.

Jinyun and Li Nan mentioned this, and the hut suddenly opened. After that, Jinyun became worried and said, "There is still one person to cooperate with the game." Who's better to use?"

"It's not always good to use our people. Childe, that Gao Shilian is a good knife. Li Nan immediately said, "Previously, Gongzi was impeached, and only he took the opportunity to sue the eldest grandson Wuji, and it seemed that he was on Gongzi's side." ”

"Xiao Nan, you are so naïve. Jinyun pouted, "I have been in Shu for a long time, although I am responsible for the leader of the guard, but I also know a little about Gao Shilian. He is the grandson of King Qinghe of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji and Empress Wende, but when the eldest grandson Wuji and Empress Wende were alone, the eldest grandson Sheng died in Turkia and served as an official in Turkic. As an uncle, for the sake of the so-called reputation, he can leave his sister's orphans out, hehe. Where would such a person be on whose side?"

"Xiaojin's analysis is correct. Gao Shilian is a person who puts interests first. In the past, he was able to stand by and watch his nephews and nieces for the sake of fame. After the eldest grandson Wuji gained power, the Gao family and the eldest grandson's family seemed to be happy, but in fact, the relationship had long since broken down. That Gao Shilian was very clear about the situation, and knew that once the eldest grandson Wuji could cover the sky with one hand, the life of the Gao family would definitely not be easy. He chose to break the kettle at that time, but I didn't want to be the number one enemy of Changsun Wuji. Li Ke said.

"Don't use him what does that son mean?" asked Li Nan.

"Who else is needed for such a good sword? You will give him a great gift, and give him a copy of the evidence of the embezzlement of military salaries for the garrison of the sword. Li Ke chuckled, thinking about how to deal with the Xiao family at home, lest she calculate him every once in a while, and also pass on the information of the Shu Palace. At this time, Xiao Shi died by himself.

"Childe, is it too impatient to deal with the Xiao clan this time? After all, the Xiao clan has been in business for a long time, and has been keen on marriage over the years, and has been entangled with various forces. The subordinates are afraid that at that time, they will be injured by the tiger if they don't succeed in fighting the tiger, and they will also startle the snake. Li Nan was very worried, he only said that the son was now going to send the Xiao family away for the sake of Miss Yang Jiu, and now he was eager to attack the Xiao family.

The day before yesterday, news came from the capital. The crown prince and the king of Wei refused the marriage of the Xiao family, and the eldest grandson Empress personally refused, and His Majesty also agreed. This is clearly to deal with the Xiao family. And the Xiao clan has controlled the soldiers and horses on the Jiannan Road, and now this is about to come to an end. We're just doing His Majesty a hand. Moreover, giving a big gift to Gao Shilian, so that Gao Shilian can be promoted and promoted, and add to the blockage of the eldest grandson Wuji, this business is not bad. Li Ke laughed.

When Jin Yun and Li Nan heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Li Ke had already gotten up and written a secret letter, asking Li Nan to work with Shu Min.

And he asked Jinyun to rest for a while, and then served Jiang Chengzi. Because of this, he never brought a woman with him to the mission, and Ah Zi never brought a maid.

"Yes. Jinyun didn't say much, and retreated.

Li Ke put a pair of straw crickets in his hand, caged them in his sleeves, and walked gently to the camp tent next door. On the bed made of soft fox skin, Jiang Chengzi was still asleep, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Li Ke sat next to him, remembering that in his previous life, he also had many times until she was completely asleep before sneaking into her room to see her. At that time, she liked to sleep on her right side like this, hugging the corner of the quilt. It's just that she was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at that time, and she didn't have a smile on her face, and she loved to frown in her sleep. Now, she described herself as young, and when she fell asleep, her expression was stretched and a smile appeared on her lips.

Li Ke looked at her, only to feel that his heart suddenly softened. I wish she was always so peaceful and happy. Yes, what I wish in this life is to hope that she will always be peaceful and happy, until her children and grandchildren are full and gray-haired.
