On the evening of the second day, Lao Dao really came as promised, and Li Mingyu didn't talk nonsense, and began to talk about the "Romance of the Gods" endlessly. Although he hasn't read the original book, he has watched a lot of various versions of the TV series, and his favorite is Fu Yiwei's version of Daji, with a pair of smart big eyes that brings to life this legendary goblin, and the charming, fierce, and vicious characteristics of Daji are vividly interpreted.

Lao Dao listened attentively, nodded slightly from time to time, stroked his beard, heard the highlights, closed his eyes slightly, shook his head and shook his head as if he had an endless aftertaste.

On this day, Li Mingyu finished telling the story and returned home with Xiao Hei. At this time, it was completely dark, but I saw Master Li Xuanba sitting in the room, and there were no lights and candles in the room, and it was pitch black.

Li Mingyu came in and lit the candle, and when he saw that the master's face was gloomy, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he seemed to be unaware of him entering the house and lighting the lamp. Mingyu was curious, it was rare to see Master think like this, so he asked, "Master, what's bothering you?" ”

Li Xuanba was asked by him, and then he came back to his senses and said, "You're back, how have the children practiced recently?" Although you want to take the children to practice martial arts, you can't be lazy in your own homework. ”

Li Mingyu saw that Master had to tell him like this every day, so he replied, "Master rest assured, I practice hard every day, and I dare not relax at all. ”

"Well, that's very good!" Li Xuanba answered absentmindedly, and then sat there in a daze.

"Master, what happened?" Li Mingyu saw that the master was behaving abnormally today, so he asked again.

Li Xuanba thought for a moment and replied, "It's okay to tell you, your second uncle sent me a letter today." ”

Li Mingyu heard that Li Shimin sent someone to send it, thinking that the master wanted Li Shimin to send him a horse, and said happily, "Second Uncle has sent a letter?" But did you choose a horse for me? When will it be delivered? ”

Li Xuanba shook his head and said, "I haven't mentioned this matter to your second uncle, he wrote this time, he said.... Forget it, believe it here, see for yourself. With that, he took out an envelope from his bosom and handed it to Li Mingyu.

Mingyu opened the envelope and watched intently, Li Shimin's letter probably meant that after his father Li Yuan was appointed to stay in Jinyang last year, he recruited tens of thousands of soldiers, first quelled the rebellion in Shanxi, and then repelled several attacks by the Turks. Because of his merit, he was promoted to stay in Taiyuan and had an overview of Shanxi's military and political power. In May of this year, he killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya, who were left behind, and raised troops in Jinyang. Now he is preparing to conquer Huoyi and compete with Song Laosheng. At the same time, he told the third brother Xuanba that the chaos in the world had become a reality, and he wanted him to stay in the village and not worry about them. Now that the arrow is on the string, he has to send it, since he has chosen this path, even if he loses in death, the Li family will have to rely on him to continue the incense in the future, and he must not think about avenging them and so on.

After reading the letter, Li Mingyu knew that Li Yuan had officially erected the banner and started to rebel, no wonder the master was restless today. In my impression, it seems that not long after Li Yuan raised his army, he conquered Chang'an like a bamboo, and then divided the world with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and finally fought a battle to unify the Central Plains.

Li Mingyu is not very worried about this, Li Shimin is shining at this time, conquering the east and the west, the south and the north, and almost half of the Tang Dynasty is fought by him.

It is no wonder that Li Yuan will sway left and right between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, hesitating about who to choose to take the throne, then Li Jiancheng feels the huge pressure brought by Li Shimin's great military exploits, far beyond him. Seeing that the position of his heir was threatened, how could Li Jiancheng not be in a hurry? The relationship between the two brothers deteriorated sharply, and in the end, Li Jiancheng made a killing attempt under the fruitless suppression of all means, but the result was that Li Shimin was the first to launch the Xuanwumen Revolution and reached the top in one fell swoop.

"Master, are you worried about the second uncle?" Li Mingyu guessed.

Li Xuanba nodded and said, "The soldiers are dangerous and dangerous, and the swords and guns on the battlefield are not long-sighted. Besides, well, this kind of thing, hey! It's hard to decide whether to succeed or fail! Speaking of this, his tone paused, and after all, he didn't say that sensitive word.

Li Mingyu understood what the master meant, he was worried that Li Yuan would rebel, it was a matter of fighting with his life, and it was natural that everything would be fine, and if he lost, the whole family would die, although he fell out with his family, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and it is impossible not to worry. Li Mingyu thought for a while and said, "Since Master can't rest assured, why don't you go and take a look?" ”

Li Xuanba said angrily: "You also saw what your second uncle said, he told me not to wade into this troubled water." ”

When Mingyu heard this, he smiled and said, "Master is a fan of the authorities, won't the second uncle do it if he doesn't let him?" You go secretly, watch the development of the situation from a distance, and if it is unviable, you must always think of saving the second uncle's family. ”

As soon as Li Xuanba heard that what his apprentice said was reasonable, he slapped his thigh and said, "Good boy! Master really didn't teach you in vain on weekdays! You're right! My father and eldest brother insisted on going their own way, and if they were defeated, they were defeated. But my second brother and I have been the best since we were children, if we fail, how can I watch him die! Always find a way to rescue the second brother and sister-in-law! With that, he got up, as if he was about to leave.

"Master, wait! I don't have to wait until tomorrow when it's dawn to leave. "Li Mingyu knows that Master's worries are purely superfluous, who is Li Shimin? Known as the Heavenly Khan of the First Emperor of the Ages! A character who can be compared to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu! How could it fail?

However, he can also understand the master's feelings, the last time Li Shimin came to the village, he had already seen that the relationship between the two brothers was extraordinary. Maybe Li Xuanba still has a problem in his heart, or he is dissatisfied with Li Yuan's approach, he doesn't care very much about the success or failure of his father Li Yuan's rebellion, but he is very worried about this second brother.

Li Xuanba was concerned about the chaos, and after being dissuaded by Mingyu for two sentences, he also calmed down and said, "Not bad!" I'm too anxious, I still have to say hello to Brother Tuesday, I can't leave without a sound. ”

Li Mingyu was willing to give up this great opportunity to befriend Li Shimin, and immediately begged, "Master take me and Xiao Hei together, and let us go out to see the world!" ”

"There is chaos outside, what kind of chaos are you adding! You just stay at home with Xiao Hei, practice martial arts well, and you will have a chance to go out in the future. Li Xuanba categorically refused.

Seeing that the master's tone could not be refused, Li Mingyu had no choice but to give up, knowing that he was indeed still too young at his current age, and a child less than five years old could not get on a horse, could not draw a bow, and indeed could not play any role.

The next day, Li Xuanba said hello to Zhou Jian, only saying that there was something at home and he needed to go out to cook. After explaining that he would lead the young people in the village to practice, and then instructed Li Mingyu, "I will go this time, more than three months, less than a month, and I will definitely come back." Hello is born in the village, don't make trouble. Martial arts should also be practiced diligently every day, and never slack off. When I come back, I'll check your homework, and if you practice well, I'll teach you how to ride a horse and dance. With that, he waved his hand at Mingyu, carried the horizontal knife, and strode away.
