Knee to the knee for a long talk
It would be said that Mo Li came to see Li Zicheng, but why did Li Zicheng personally go out to greet the enemy's national teacher?
Welcoming Mo Li into the handsome tent, Li Zicheng took the lead in saluting and said: "Li Zicheng has seen Engong. ”
As soon as these words came out, Mo said that the others, even Mo Li himself was a little surprised, and then asked: "Why did General Li say this? ”
Li Zicheng told the truth: "Engong doesn't know, Li Zicheng's family has been poor since he was a child, he can't eat all day long, he doesn't have clothes, and he almost died of hunger and cold. There were parents and a younger sister in the family, my father died when I was an adult, and my mother was really unable to support our family, so she had to sell her sister into the Qinglou and be a dancing girl. But soon after, my mother went with my father. In desperation, in order to survive, he had to fall into the grass. Later, the banner of the uprising was erected on all sides. The eldest brother Gao Yingxiang saw that all sides were revolting, so he also erected the banner of the uprising and proclaimed himself the 'King of Chuang'. ”
Mo Li frowned when he heard this and asked, "I didn't expect General Li to suffer so much when he was young, it's really a sigh." It's just that I don't know what this has to do with why the deity has become your favor?"
"Hahaha, a whim of its own, but it deviates from the topic. Engong, please listen to Zicheng. ”
Mo Li nodded and motioned for Li Zicheng to continue.
In fact, as long as Zicheng informs the name of the little sister, Engong will be able to understand the reason. The sister's name is Dong Xiaowan. ”
"Oh, Xiao Wan is actually your sister? In this way, you are still the eldest brother of the deity! Hahaha, there is such a coincidental thing in the world. It's just that this Xiaowan's surname is Dong, why is your surname Li?" Mo Li said with a hearty smile.
"Xiao Wan is able to marry Engong, which is really her blessing. As for the name, it's not that complicated. His father's original surname was Dong, but his family was poor, so he joined the Li family, that is, his mother's maiden family. The reason why the Li family recruited a son-in-law was also a helpless move, since they had an uncle, but he died early before he was eight years old, and his grandfather was also haunted by his uncle's death, and soon went with his uncle. In order to pass on the incense of the Li family, he let his father join the Li family, on the condition that the eldest son must follow the surname Li. Therefore, Zichengcai followed the surname Li, and the sister followed her father's surname Dong. Originally, with the help of the Li family, our family was quite passable. However, when Zicheng was eight years old, his grandmother also died of illness, and his mother took Zicheng and Xiaowan to live well with the inheritance of the Li family. Unexpectedly, in the second year of my grandmother's death, the housekeeper saw our orphans and widows, but he had a bad idea and forcibly seized the property of the Li family. My mother was an eldest lady, and after my father's death, my mother refused to continue the strings, and she didn't know how to do the craftsmanship on the side, so she could only do some sewing and mending things to supplement the family, which was really difficult to feed our family of three, so she sent Xiao Wan to the Qinglou to be a dancing girl. In the first few years, Zicheng heard that Xiao Wan was bought by Wu Sangui, and originally wanted to drive straight into Shanhaiguan to rescue Xiao Wan, but the eldest brother disagreed, and Zicheng really couldn't go to the rescue. Later, I learned that Xiao Wan was robbed by Engong again, and I thought that Engong and Wu Sangui were all the way, but I only sent someone to inquire about it and found out that Engong and Xiaowan were actually in love, but they had become a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I hope that Engong will not blame. ”
After listening to Li Zicheng's endless talk about his life, Mo Li didn't believe it completely, but said: "What General Li said is indeed touching, but there is no way to distinguish the truth from the false. The deity has been close to Xiao Wan for several years, and I have never heard her mention that there is such a brother as you. ”
Seeing that Mo Li didn't believe it, Li Zicheng really didn't have any token to prove his identity for a while, so he immediately played a scoundrel and said: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth." The reason why Xiao Wan didn't mention it was because she was young and didn't remember it, or she didn't want to mention the sad past. If Engong still didn't believe it, he wished to go with Engong alone and explain the matter to his sister-in-person. ”
Li Zicheng said this, and most of Moli's suspicions were gone, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, the deity came this time to tell you something else, and after discussing this matter, the deity will bring Xiaowan to see you." ”
"Hahaha! Okay, just follow what Engong said. Zicheng sent someone to get some food and drink, and we talked while eating. Li Zicheng said that, and ordered the herald soldiers to prepare a banquet to entertain Moli.
Speaking of which, this banquet was the worst meal that Mo Li had eaten since he came to this world, and it was better than this before in Fanqi's Mansion. There was only one plate of vegetarian dishes and a small plate of meat on the table. After asking, I learned that this vegetarian vegetable was a wild vegetable dug by soldiers in the field, and this meat was horse meat cut from the body of a group of war horses. It can be seen from this that Li Zicheng's army is really short of food.
Although the food was a little worse, this was the most comfortable meal Mo Li had eaten since he came to this world. In response to the saying, "It doesn't matter what you eat, it's who you eat with." ”
After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Mo Li entered the topic and said: "General Li, there is something unknown when the deity comes this time, and I ask the general to give me advice." ”
"It doesn't hurt to say it, as long as it doesn't involve military secrets, you should know everything. ”
Mo Li didn't speak, but gave Mo San behind him a look. Mo San immediately dodged and directly knocked out all the guards in the tent.
Seeing this, Li Zicheng immediately didn't know the truth and wanted to ask. Mo Li was the first to say: "General Li, don't worry, they are all fine, they just fainted." The reason why the deity did this was because what he was going to say next would not be heard by the rest of your camp. ”
Hearing Mo Li say this, he looked carefully at the guard who fell to the ground, and then put his heart down and said, "Please speak." It's just that this time he didn't call Mo Li'en Gong again, and I was a little dissatisfied in my heart.
Ignoring the dissatisfaction in Li Zicheng's heart, Mo Li said directly: "This Gao Yingxiang has never had much ability, if it weren't for him, the Chuang Wang Army should be the biggest force in the rebel army, why wouldn't General Li replace him?"
Li Zicheng refused sharply: "Don't say any more." Although Zicheng is not a righteous gentleman, he also knows how to write the word 'righteousness', and he will definitely not kill his brother. ”
Mo Li did not give up, and continued to persuade: "Those who have achieved great things since ancient times are not informal, and they will succeed in ten thousand bones, General Li should think about it." If Gao Yingxiang does not die, the Chuang Wang Army will only have one way to destroy in the future. ”
"I don't know how to do this? It's just that Zicheng definitely won't be the villain who killed his brother. Li Zicheng said righteously.
Listening to Li Zicheng's words, Mo Li seemed to hear the sound outside the strings. Li Zicheng only said that he would not be the one who killed his brother, but he did not say that he would not let Gao Yingxiang die, which shows what it shows at a glance. He immediately asked, "What if King Chuang dies of illness or dies on the battlefield?"
After some ideological struggle, Li Zicheng said: "Who has not died in life since ancient times? King Chuang is death, and he is also King Chuang. ”
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Mo Li patted Li Zicheng on the shoulder and asked again, "In this case, can General Li tell King Chuang where he is?"
Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "Zicheng will definitely not betray the whereabouts of the eldest brother, but the whereabouts of the eldest brother are not a secret, and the imperial court has the whereabouts of the eldest brother." ”
Mo Li laughed and said: "In this way, King Chuang will die within three days, General Li should withdraw his troops and go back as soon as possible, and prepare early." ”
At this point, there is nothing else to say, Li Zicheng sighed and said: "It seems that the eldest brother is exhausted, and it is in vain to struggle again." Anyway, I just hope that Engong will bring her sister to talk about it as soon as possible. Zicheng now has only such a relative, and he really misses it tightly. ”
"General Li, rest assured, after you sit on the throne, the deity will personally take Xiao Wan to talk to you. ”
Everything has been decided, and Mo Li will not stay for long, and after waking up the guards with a wave of his hand, he will say goodbye to Mo San and leave.
