History has indeed expounded a truth, and in the end, it is always those who succeed in the process of fighting for the world, those who are not so regular-minded and have a somewhat insidious temperament. For example, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, it was the heroes who defeated the heroes, and finally killed Han Xin and Xiao He, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were born in the cold, the former killed the latter, and also changed direction to kill Xu Da and other heroes.

People learn from their experience, and learn and summarize into their own standards of behavior and principles of doing things, so their behavior is not as regular as they imagined, even if they do something immoral, they will make excuses for their predecessors, let themselves feel at ease, and gradually reconcile the word "good person" further and further.

Sometimes, history is not a good teacher, because it is spiraling upward, so it is not always vertically positive, but gives people a lot of logical room for maneuver, which is likely to be transformed into excuses, which is the wealth of history and a kind of misfortune. "Learning from history" is a double-edged sword, the positive side can inspire people, and the negative side can also distort people, history is a thing defined by the victor, and even justice is not exempt.

"But Brother Xu, you have succeeded, proving that a good person can become the ultimate winner, for which Fan Li feels fortunate in Sansheng, and also glad for future generations, because you have proved a very important thing, and also relieved Fan Li's doubts in his heart for many years." Fan Li Zhengse said, "In the future, the world will be in chaos, and there will be a group of heroes, and you will die, and they will follow the example of their predecessors in doing things, and use vicious intentions and despicable means to achieve ultimate success." But you are something they will never be able to overcome, because you have shown them that success does not have to be humble. ”

Xu Xiao smiled bitterly: "Fan Li, you are holding me up too high." Now the reputation of my Xiliang King is not very good in the Great Wei Kingdom. ”

Fan Li was not worried at all, but smiled freely: "History will finally prove that for the Great Wei Dynasty, Brother Xu's reputation is indeed a little shabby, and the thing related to the direction of the Great Wei State has not yet happened, and it is inconclusive whether Xu Jiajun's existence is good or bad, but from a historical point of view." Brother Xu will get a fair evaluation. ”

Fan Li looked at the problem from a higher perspective, beyond a certain dynasty, and only one person in the Great Wei State could come to such a conclusion. Because everyone else is more or less standing in it, and they don't know the true face of Lushan. His Majesty is the Majesty of the Great Wei Kingdom, and his identity does not allow him to think so, Chen Xian is a great Confucian. Bound by Confucian etiquette. Pan Chunwei is the prime minister, thinking about Jiangshan Sheji, Xiahou Xiangyang is a general, and he wants to garrison the border in his heart, Xu Xiao will not think about these things, he will be annoyed, but Fan Li will think about it, think about it carefully. Figure out the ravines and bits and pieces.

This concept of looking at problems at a higher level influenced Fan Rong'er, so many years later, in the great war that conquered the world. Fan Rong'er, who was only eighteen years old, was able to inherit the mantle of Fan Li and Chen Nuonuo, and became the chief first female military division of the Western Front of the Great Wei Army.

Xu Xiao looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance and muttered, "Will it?" "Will I get a fair evaluation? Even if you get it, Su Su is no longer there.

"Yes, definitely, because you're a good person." Fan Li replied.

Xu Xiao smiled bitterly again, and couldn't help but sigh: "Good person? Haha, it's hard to be a good person, I wanted to bring Baoyu back to Xiliang with you, but now I found out that I couldn't take it away alone, this Xiliang King is very aggrieved, today's wine is a practice of wine, and I don't know what year and month you and my brother will see each other again in the future, I just hope that there will be no more guilt and regret in my heart. ”

Fan Li also smiled bitterly: "Brother Xu, this is likely to be the last time you and I will see each other in this life." ”

"For the last time?" Xu Xiao said with emotion, raised his head and drank the wine in the toast, and then poured it for Fan Li, "Since it is the last time, then you must drink one more glass." ”

Fan Li drank dry, threw the wine glass on the ground, and knelt on the ground violently, clenched his hands into fists, and put his head on the ground.

Xu Xiao was surprised, he knew that Fan Li was arrogant, as if he had never knelt down except for Rong'er, he had never knelt down to anyone else, he was busy helping Fan Li up, and asked in surprise: "Fan Li, what are you doing here?!" ”

Fan Li knelt on the ground and said, "Fan Li thanked Brother Xu for the thirteen brothers." At the beginning of the Suzaku Gate Incident, Zhao Jiancheng and Zhao Yuanji killed the brothers' families, and everyone was indignant, but Zhao Jiancheng was the prince and Zhao Yuanji was the king of Jin, and the brothers had the intention to kill the two to avenge their families, but in the end, they would not, and they didn't dare to start. We have the idea of supporting the army to stand on our own feet and become independent, but we will not kill the two people of the Zhao family. It was you who stood up and killed Zhao Jiancheng and Zhao Yuanji, which gave our old brothers some comfort in their hearts, if it weren't for this, our brothers would have died of grievances in Shangjing all these years. ”

Xu Xiao grabbed Fan Li's arm and wanted to help the man up, but he didn't succeed, he was also a little drunk, so he simply sat on the ground.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er came here with Baoyu's little hand, and both of them looked at Fan Li who was kneeling on the ground and Xu Xiao who was sitting on the ground with some surprise. Lin Wan'er was straightforward and said with a smile: "Yo, which play is this, the scene is very chic." ”

Fan Li is a good-looking person, he hurriedly stood up, coughed a few times in a low voice, his face was slightly embarrassed, his hands were behind his back, and he regained his elegant appearance, seeing Lin Wan'er and Baoyu also understood some of Lin Wan'er's thoughts in his heart, this was to create an opportunity for Brother Xu and Baoyu to be alone, and said: "You guys talk slowly, I'll go out and have a little more drink with them first." Then he turned and left.

Baoyu hid behind Lin Wan'er, pulling the corner of the eldest sister's clothes, and looked at Xu Xiao a little timidly, he had something to say to King Xiliang, but when it was really time to say it, he was a little timid in his heart.

Lin Wan'er grabbed Baoyu's hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, there is an eldest sister here, go ahead." ”

She pushed Baoyu, and Baoyu turned her head and said, "Big sister." You can't go far. ”

"Well, the eldest sister knows." Lin Wan'er gave Baoyu an expression of encouragement, Baoyu should talk to King Xiliang. That is the best consolation for King Xiliang. Although she felt a little guilty about forcibly leaving Baoyu, she knew that she couldn't do without Baoyu.

Xu Xiao had a smile on his face, slightly restrained.

Baoyu raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Xiao, and he didn't know how to provoke the conversation.

Xu Xiao sighed and brewed a love, he wanted to treat a child like a child, showing his charity as a father. But I want to treat an adult like an adult, and talk to Baoyu heartily. He was guilty and flattering to Xu Yunfeng, and he was even more guilty and flattering to Baoyu. Like a clumsy person.

Baoyu looked at Xu Xiao, who was constantly rubbing his hands and was slightly restrained, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled, and he smiled shallowly in his heart: "Why didn't you take me back to Xiliang later?" ”

Xu Xiao was slightly stunned, the first topic turned out to be this matter. He smiled wryly again. Turning his head, he glanced at Zhao Gan, who was fighting with Song Duanwu in the room, and said, "It's this third prince Zhao Gan who is too capable of speaking." ”

"That's the reason?" Baoyu frowned and asked, he knew that Brother Zhao could speak well, but he didn't believe that simply being able to speak back would make this Xiliang King change his attention.

Xu Xiao glanced down at Baoyu, who was as tall as his waist, and his eyes showed a little emotion, although Baoyu was small, but thoughtful, he said: "Of course, it's not just such a reason. Zhao Qian said at the beginning that he was buying and selling. Naxi Liang's safety and security negotiate the conditions, but this is useless to me. How could I possibly trade my own son. But he has a few words that really go to my heart, and I have to leave you in Shangjing. ”

"What?" Baoyu asked curiously.

King Xiliang looked at his son, as if he saw Su Su, she was still standing not far away and looking at herself quietly: "Zhao Qian, he said, Baoyu's happiness and safety are the most important. In Xiliang, it seems that you Xiliang King has the final say, but in private, there are many people operating in secret, and when your Xiliang King naps one day, Baoyu will definitely not be safer than in Shangjing, and in Shangjing, I Zhao Qian dare to guarantee that Baoyu will not be hurt a little bit. In addition, Baoyu has been with Wan'er for so many years, how deep is his dependence on Wan'er, I don't need to say much, even if you bring Baoyu back to Xiliang today, he is unhappy, is that what you want to see? ”

Baoyu was a little surprised that Brother Zhao Qian and Zhao Zhao actually said such emotional and unconvincing words, and what was even more surprising was that his father actually agreed to acquiesce.

King Xiliang smiled again, and seeing Baoyu's surprised expression, he continued: "Don't look at this as ordinary, but it is indeed the most useful for me, the King of Xiliang. I have two sons, but the relationship is not very good, Yun Feng complains about me in Xiliang, what about you, in Shangjing, if you are forcibly brought back, you will also complain about me. It's okay to have one son complaining about me, I don't want both sons to complain about me. Baoyu, don't worry, I will protect you. They dare not touch you, because there are 300,000 iron horsemen behind you. ”

"Three hundred thousand? Is 300,000 a lot? Baoyu was a little disliked Xu Xiao's proud tone when he said 300,000, I still have seven brothers, and I couldn't help but open my mouth to hit it.

Xu Xiao raised his head and laughed: "Not much, not much at all." I can't understand three people in my life, one is His Majesty, one is Xiahou Xiangyang, and the other is your brother Yunfeng, he has not been close to me over the years, and he doesn't like to see me very much, I don't dare to understand him, for fear that once I understand, I will know some things that I don't want to know. In the past, Yun Feng and Wei Song were very close, but in the past few years. He began to gradually approach Sima Qi, which was not a good sign. ”

When Baoyu heard about his brother Xu Yunfeng, his face couldn't help but change, he hadn't seen him, but he had a deep relationship with him, and he often heard how Xu Yunfeng, the son of Xiliang, was unruly, I don't know what kind of person he is compared to his second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, will he teach himself to practice martial arts like the second brother, will he be as strict and strict as the third brother, will he make trouble with him like the fourth brother, will he buy candy for himself like the fifth brother? Will he play with himself like the Sixth Brother Dabao? Since they couldn't see each other, Baoyu didn't think much about it anymore.

"Just three people, I can't understand these three people in my life." Xu Xiao repeated with emotion.

As if to deliberately hit Xu Xiao, Baoyu pursed her mouth and asked with some disdain: "I can't understand only three people?" Can you understand my eldest sister? ”

All good things Baoyu and Yubao want to pull on the eldest sister, such as where it is delicious and fun, the first thing the two children think of is the eldest sister, whenever there is a bad thing, the two children will take it on themselves, such as running away from home, the two children actively take responsibility, Xu Xiao said that he only can't understand three people, Baoyu is unhappy, that means that he seems to understand the eldest sister.

Xu Xiao thought about Lin Wan'er seriously, it was really a little helpless, let's say she is superficial, she can write "The Story of the Stone" and "The Story of the West Chamber", and she has a pure temperament and a careful mind, but if you say that she is a person with connotation and inner beauty, maybe she doesn't believe it herself.

Xu Xiao smiled: "I can't understand your eldest sister, add another one, I can't understand these four people in this world, okay?" ”

Baoyu didn't give up: "Can you understand Brother Zhao Qian?" ”

Xu Xiao smiled dumbly, the third prince Zhao Qian and Yun Feng belong to the same type of people, they are both people with wisdom roots, but they are 108,000 miles different in temperament, which will always surprise people and make people unpredictable. When it comes to Zhao Qian, Xu Xiao thinks of another talented girl, Chen Nuonuo, what is hidden in her eyes seems to have experienced wind and frost, like an old man in the twilight.

After Baoyu said this, King Xiliang found that there were still many people who he couldn't understand.

He and Baoyu were silent one after another, and after a long time, Baoyu coughed unnaturally twice, and took out a small toy from his arms, which was a vivid wooden bird, which was the first gift that Baoyu and Yubao got when they were children, Lin Wan'er bought it to the two children with the money from selling tofu, and the two children were very happy, and regarded them as treasures, and the family moved several times, but this wooden bird has never been discarded.

He stretched out his hand and handed it over: "This was originally for me and Yubao, but the eldest sister said that she wanted me to give you a precious gift, and after thinking about it, there was only this thing left, and asked Yubao, and Yubao said very generously." ”

Xu Xiao held the wooden bird in both hands, there were crystal tears in his eyes, and said: "I haven't prepared any gifts, the cool knife is given to you, you wait for me, I'll go ...... now"

"No need." Little Master Baoyu waved his hand and said with a sad face: "The knife has not been covered yet, and it has been confiscated by the eldest sister for safety reasons." ”

Then he took the jade pendant from his neck and said, "It's enough for me to have it." ”

The jade pendant was a piece of turbid jade, revealing rough streaks under the light candlelight, but Xu Xiao felt that Su Su seemed to be standing by and watching this qiē.

Baoyu put the jade pendant back into the close-fitting clothes, scratched her head a little irritably, opened her mouth, and became even more irritable: "The eldest sister also said that I must teach you a father, but I really can't call it, you wait, when you think about it, I will go to Xiliang in person, okay?" ”

Xu Xiao laughed silently, nodded with tears in his eyes, he didn't expect that there would be such a benefit, Xu Yunfeng would only call him "old man" in Xiliang, he didn't protect Baoyu, he thought in his heart that Baoyu just accepted him and would not agree with him.

"By the way, if the eldest sister asks for a while, you have to say that I am called." Baoyu took her little hands behind her back and left like an adult.

Xu Xiao looked at Baoyu's back and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Baoyu suddenly turned around, with a sweet smile on her face, and said, "My wife and I have forgiven you, so sometimes ...... Don't blame yourself too much. (To be continued......)
