When he arrived in Zhu Zheng's country, he only saw him and his wife Wang, the meal had been served, and Wang was moving the dishes and chopsticks there.

"Sister-in-law, how can you do it yourself?"

"Brother Dog is here, sit down."

Wang chuckled and said, "The people are also going to celebrate the New Year, so I'm giving them a holiday." ”

Wang's family was born in a small family, with good facial features, delicate appearance, gentle and humble personality, the family is a cloth village, which is a small rich family, when Zhu Zhengguo first pursued her, Wang's family did not agree, after all, Zhu Zhengguo at that time was only a big soldier, and in the end, Li Xun invited Mao Anfu and Shan Qiu, the two generals of the four products, to be the matchmaker, and Zhu Zhengguo was able to return the beauty.

With the passage of a few years, Zhu Zhengguo has risen step by step, and now he is the Zhonglang general of the fifth grade, the deputy commander of the inspection institute, he is only twenty-six years old this year, he became a general at a young age, and the future will definitely not be too bad, and now the Wang family is extremely satisfied with Zhu Zhengguo, and even a little stammering, but Zhu Zhengguo is very affectionate and righteous, even if he has a high official position now, he has always respected his wife and his family, and has never neglected him.

Wang finished fiddling with the food and was about to leave, Li Xun said, "Sister-in-law, where are you going at this time!" Don't eat with us? ”

"I'm a woman, sitting here, and you're not comfortable drinking and talking."

Wang smiled mildly and turned to leave.

"The child is on my father-in-law's side, she has to go over and take care of her, leave her alone, we will eat ours."

Zhu Zhengguo waved his hand, then stood up, and arched his hand at Zhao Wei: "What do you call a brother?" ”

Zhao Wei returned the salute: "Under Zhao Wei, I came to the door rashly and disturbed me." ”

"You are both Li Xun's friend and my Zhu Zhengguo's friend, so you don't have to be so polite."

Zhu Zhengguo smiled and waved his hand and asked, "Brother Zhao, please take a seat." ”

Zhao Wei nodded and sat down.

Li Xun poured wine for the two of them, and asked strangely: "Why are you alone, why didn't Yu Guang and Yan Yi come?" ”

Zhu Zhengguo said: "Yu Guang had an awkward quarrel with his wife, and sent someone over this morning to spread the word, saying that he was not in the mood to drink, so he would not come." ”

Li Xun said with a smile: "It's a good thing to say, I guess this kid Yu Guang was beaten by his wife again, and he was afraid that he would lose face when he saw us, so he didn't dare to show his face." ”

Zhu Zhengguo laughed and said: "That's right, I think so too, that kid from Yuguang has always liked to join in the fun, and now the brothers are here, why didn't he come, I think he will be beaten by his daughter-in-law this time." ”

Li Xun smiled, it has been almost seven years since he arrived in Fengjing, and the brothers in distress at the beginning have not been slowly estranged because of the disparity in status, and they are still as close as they were at the beginning, Li Xun hopes that after a few decades, several brothers can still maintain such a friendship.

"Yan Yi, what about that kid?"

Zhu Zhengguo said: "Just yesterday, news came from Yan Yi's hometown, saying that his relatives had returned to his hometown, no, he hurried back to his hometown last night. ”

Li Xun said happily: "That's really good, Yan Yi, this kid often talks about his family, and now their family is finally a member of the group." ”

A few people chatted while drinking, Zhao Wei just drank silently, and said very little, but he listened to the chat between Li Xun and Zhu Zhengguo, and he was still quite surprised in his heart, these two people, the official position is not low, they only talk about some idle things together, basically do not talk about things in the officialdom, such a situation, Zhao Wei is really rare, but in this way, the atmosphere is also very relaxed, even Zhao Wei himself is infected, and occasionally says a few words.

Talking and talking, when it came to Zhao Wei, Li Xun told him about his situation.

Zhu Zhengguo looked at Zhao Wei in surprise, he didn't expect that this man who looked sluggish and looked a little depressed had such a glorious past, and hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "The flying fox general who is quite famous in Longyou turns out to be Brother Zhao, who has been famous for a long time, and it is my luck to see the real person today." ”

"Brother Zhu, please take a seat, Brother Zhu praises me so much, I, Zhao Wei, am ashamed."

Zhao Wei got up and asked Zhu Zhengguo to sit down, then shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "The general of the defeated army, how to talk about fame." ”

Li Xun said with a smile: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Brother Zhao doesn't need to mind." ”

Zhao Wei silently drank a glass of wine and did not speak.

Li Xun said in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, since you have surrendered, the emperor will never do anything to you." ”

Zhao Wei looked at Li Xun and asked rhetorically, "Li Xun, do you think I'm the kind of person who shoots me to death?" ”

Li Xun was stunned, he didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, he was silent in thought, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when Zhao Wei was captured and begged for death.

"Huang Xuan is a person I admire very much, I once asked him, you have become a general, a prince, you are not young, wouldn't it be better to enjoy wealth at home, why now, every time there is a big war, you still have to charge to the front, are you really not afraid of death?"

Li Xun said to Zhao Wei: "Do you know what Huang Wei said? ”

Zhao Wei looked straight at Li Xun and did not speak.

Li Xun drank a glass of wine and said: "Huang Xun told me that he is also afraid of death, but compared to the ideals and ambitions in his heart, the fear brought by death is nothing to fear, the reason why I am still persisting and struggling, I... Unwilling! ”

In the end, Li Xun shook his head, what is the ideal? What are the ambitions? Li Xun has never thought about this, if possible, he just wants to live that kind of rich and leisurely life, but sometimes, people in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, and the progress of many things is often contrary to what he thinks and thinks, pushing himself all the way forward, and there is no room for retreat at all.

Not reconciled?

Zhao Wei's whole body shook slightly, and there was a strong resonance in his heart: "I have heard of the name of Huang Zhen for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet, if you have the opportunity, please recommend it on your behalf." ”

Li Xun smiled: "It's easy, I'll take you to see him tomorrow." ”

Full of wine and food, Li Xun was about to take Zhu Zhengguo and Zhao Wei to the inspection yard, but at this time, Jiang Daxiong came in a hurry.

"Boss, the people in the palace just found their home, saying that it was summoned by Concubine Li Guifei and asked you to enter the palace immediately to meet you."

Li Xun rubbed his brows, a little speechless, and didn't summon earlier, he drank a lot of wine at noon, his face was flushed, and he was full of alcohol, he went to the palace with this appearance, maybe he would be reprimanded again, but there was no way, his aunt called, could he still not go?

Rushed home, took a simple bath, changed clothes, at this time it was raining lightly outside, and he couldn't ride a horse, Li Xun asked Jiang Daxiong to drive the carriage, and then rushed towards the imperial city.
