Chapter 66: Dedicated to serving the country with loyalty
Shen Ning followed Li Xiaojie and Li Yunchang to the main hall, and saw Li Yuanxiao chatting with a middle-aged man.
After the three of them entered, Shen Ning bowed and said, "Nephew to see Uncle Li." ”
Li Yuanxiao nodded with a smile and introduced, "Liu Shu, this is your third uncle." ”
Shen Ning bowed his hand and said, "Nephew Zhao Liushu to meet the third uncle!" ”
The middle-aged man stood up and helped Shen Ning up.
After looking Shen Ning up and down, he said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a talent, not bad, it seems that it was right to promise this marriage for the clear sky back then." ”
"Third Uncle Liao praised." Shen Ning said shyly.
Who knew that the middle-aged man's voice changed and asked, "I heard that you killed the widow of the Shen family?" ”
Shen Ning glanced at Li Yuanxiao vaguely, and saw that his face was expressionless, and he couldn't guess what the third uncle meant, so he responded: "Yes." ”
The middle-aged man said again: "It's okay if the widow of the Shen family is dead, it's been eighteen years, and it should be calm." In addition, I heard that Wang Xiao's son is also uncertain? ”
Shen Ning nodded in response.
"After the virtuous nephew came to Pengcheng, he witnessed a lot of great things." The middle-aged man laughed.
Shen Ning noticed that there was something else in his words, and he couldn't understand his intentions, so he replied: "Now the whole world is an eventful autumn, where is there peace in the troubled times, and the big things are not Pengcheng." ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "That's right, that virtuous nephew thinks that now that the troubled times are in power, as a person with lofty ideals, how should he deal with it?" ”
"Naturally, it is loyal to the country!" Shen Ning came as soon as he said it.
"But now that various places are divided, traitorous ministers are in charge, the dynasty is chaotic, the world is unfair, and people with lofty ideals want to serve the country loyally, and they are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but they are afraid of dying in the conspiracy, what do you think?"
"Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat! Chaogang chaos should stand up even more, *******? ”
"A good life, who has not died since ancient times! What a stay! No wonder you are praised as the rising star of Confucianism and Taoism! ”
"The third uncle praised that the nephew is not a rising star of Confucianism and Taoism, but is just pursuing the unity of knowledge and action and sticking to his conscience."
...
The middle-aged man seemed to have the meaning of Shen Ning, and asked many questions, Shen Ning was full of spirit, his family and country were blowing all over the world, and the poems came as soon as he opened his mouth, he was simply an advanced teenager in the Great Jin.
No matter what you say about the troubled times and darkness, Shen Ning is loyal to the country.
If you don't understand the mind of this third uncle, then you should respond to all changes with the same.
Li Yuanxiao sat aside and listened quietly, until the two chatted about the same, and then said: "It's not early, let's have a luncheon, if you two talk very happily, the meal is good and chatten." ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "Okay, is the virtuous nephew willing?" ”
"Nephew's honor." Shen Ning smiled back.
After a lunch, the middle-aged man wanted to continue to chat with Shen Ning, but Shen Ning was helpless, and he always felt that this person was weird.
When I came to the study, there were only two people in the room.
Shen Ning was about to sit down, when the middle-aged man with a smile on his face suddenly said, "You are not Zhao Baoyu, who are you?" ”
Shen Ning's pupils shrank, but there was a stunned expression on his face, and he said in surprise: "Third uncle, what does this mean?" I'm not Zhao Baoyu, is it still Jia Baoyu? ”
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "At such a young age, the city government is so deep, every move is flawless, and the psychological quality is extremely high, it is really not simple... Xuan Jizi is a fame and reputation, but his evaluation of you is crooked, if you enter the government and the opposition, you will be a supreme minister in the future, and a traitorous minister. ”
Shen Ning saw that he had no malicious intent, so he smiled and responded, and continued to see what the hell he was doing.
The middle-aged man knew that he couldn't deceive Shen Ning to tell the truth, but continued: "Do you know that our Li family and the Zhao family are world friends, although the two families have not officially met for many years, they also exchange letters. ”
Shen Ning was most afraid of the emergence of unstable factors, after all, his plan to pretend to be Zhao Baoyu was improvised, taking one step at a time, rather than after a long period of planning.
"Is it because of these letters that the third uncle thinks that I am not Zhao Baoyu's?" Shen Ning asked rhetorically.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Naturally not, the letters from the two families are talking about important matters, and the affairs of the children and grandchildren cannot be put on paper." ”
Shen Ning was stunned, he really wanted to give him a punch, since you didn't mention this matter, why did you do it?
"What is the reason for the third uncle's suspicion?" Shen Ning asked again.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Because Meng Xingchen told me." ”
Shen Ning asked curiously, "Meng Xingchen?" Who is he? ”
The middle-aged man clapped his hands and laughed: "You kid, you're really cautious, you can't fool you, not bad." Check it out. ”
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Shen Ning.
After Shen Ning opened the letter, Meng Xingchen's familiar handwriting came into view, and then, Shen Ning's eyes widened and he suddenly got up.
He was surprised that it was not the letter written by Meng Xingchen, but the name at the beginning of the letter.
"Brother Xiaoru!"
Li Xiaoru is Li Ru, is it...
"The third uncle's name is Li Ru?" Shen Ning hurriedly asked.
The middle-aged man touched his beard under his chin, nodded and said, "It's Li." ”
Shen Ning was instantly excited, Li Ru, who had descended from the system, turned out to be Li Yuanxiao's third brother? It's really kissing.
Then, Shen Ning's attention was on the letter again.
In the letter, Meng Xingchen asked Li Ru to come to Pengcheng to assist Shen Ning, and at the same time truthfully informed Shen Ning's identity.
Therefore, Li Ru knew from the beginning that Shen Ning was fake, and the conversation he had just outside was completely a temptation of his bad taste, of course, it was also to see Shen Ning's character and ability.
"After your Uncle Meng arrived in Pengcheng, he repaired the book to me and asked me to assist you, he knew that there was no one around you to use, and he was afraid that you would be in danger if you didn't think about it." Li Ru introduced.
Shen Ning had never heard Meng Xingchen say anything about Li Ru, so he asked, "Third Uncle knows my identity and is willing to help me?" And it seems that the third uncle didn't tell my true identity to Qingtian's father. ”
Li Ru understood Shen Ning's doubts, so he said: "Your father not only saved Qingtian's father back then, but also helped the Li family, Meng Xingchen and I are sworn brothers, and we must contribute to it." Of course, if you're not good, I won't help you, because that's a dead end. ”
After a pause, Li Ru said again: "Now the Li family is on the cusp of the storm, standing still is death, and retreating is death, so we can only rush forward hard, and we can't go on the right path if we want to, so in essence, there is no difference between us." ”
Shen Ning understands that Li Ru is on the cusp of the storm, and it is Li Yuanxiao's position now.
As the most trusted general of the King of the Southeast, Li Yuanxiao and the entire Li family behind him are tied to the camp of the King of the Southeast, and the King of the Southeast is seriously ill, and his son-in-law Sima Haiyun only knows how to eat, and his ability is low.
The location of Xuzhou is important, there are many forces eyeing each other, and the most important thing is that even His Majesty wants the king of the southeast to move his nest and send a henchman to guard this place.
So looking around, they are all enemies of the Li family, if the emperor wants to move Xuzhou one day, the first family to deal with is the Li family.
That's why Li Ru said that there was no difference between the fate of their Li family and Shen Ning.
ps: There is a change in the evening, for the reward of the old brothers... Cover your face... The book didn't get a good grade, so it would be shelved, and the liver would burst when the time came.
