I agree with the choice he made to protect himself, but what about those people? Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that Mr. Fang, who I am most familiar with, what is the sacrifice he made for Chen Guo back then? There is also the young son of the enemy family who changed his name, what was he assassinating Yang Su for? To be a man, you always have to have a little faith, my father said before that his faith is honest, but can even the faith that he doesn't follow be called faith? I was a little confused, and then I thought to myself, my belief in the past was to eat, drink, and be good or be the boss, but now?

I never asked myself what kind of person I wanted to be, nor did I think about what I would do if I was in Daddy's position, but as Daddy's involvement in the dispute between Daddy deepened, my understanding of him was greatly discounted, and I found that things were not as Daddy had to say at the beginning, and the positive role he played in it made me wonder that he wanted to be involved in the first place. Although I know that what my father said is right - supporting the crown prince or the king of Jin has nothing to do with character, it just cares about personal choice. But I also have a basic view of right and wrong, even if I am loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, my father, who is too deep, looks like a villain.

Although my father was still good to me as always, his image in my heart was in crisis, and I felt the need to talk to him.

One day I was reading a book in the study, and my father walked in with a smile and asked me, "Built, listen to your mother, someone wrote a letter a few days ago?" ”

I took out the rhetoric I had thought of a long time ago and explained: "It was written by Chai Shao, saying that they had won the battle and were going back to Beijing. ”

Dad probably saw my envious expression and smiled, "What? Do you want to go to the army too? ”

I nodded and said, "Well, I can only read, I'm afraid I'll become a nerd." ”

Dad laughed and said, "Sanniang said it, right?" Don't worry, my father promised you that after this winter, I will take you to the army to have a look, and then you can also learn the art of war. ”

Daddy is right, Sanniang does often laugh at me for being a nerd now.

Dad said, "Actually, you don't have to be anxious. Military training is indispensable, but if you want to use a soldier like Yang Suhe Ruobi, you should first pay attention to practicing the art of war. It is important to know that the way to use soldiers is not necessarily in the soldiers. ”

I turned my head and said, "Father, I understand." This is just like the current situation in the court, His Royal Highness the King of Jin won the position of the crown prince, but his intentions are not in the court, right? ”

My father looked me up and down with strange eyes, and asked with interest, "Oh, what do you mean by that?" ”

I said: "Cultivate the good governance of Jiangdong, and the subordinates of the people of Li, and the intentions are not in the court; Serve Buddhism in the locality, calm the people's hearts in the Brahman's temple, and the heart is not in the court; Also, he is not close to the public, and the name of frugality is known among the ministers, and his intentions are not in the court. ”

Dad smiled knowingly: "My son can be taught." ”

"But without my father's secret music, His Royal Highness King Jin would have easily succeeded."

Dad shook his head and said, "This sentence is wrong, even if you are not a father, there are others, but it is more convenient to pretend to be a father's hand." ”

In this way, in fact, although Dad is smart, he is just a pawn of King Jin? I looked at my father, although he didn't show anything unusual, I can actually deeply understand his sadness, after all, I have been just a pawn who runs wherever I need for most of my life, but I can't comfort him.

I remembered that in the past—a real little man—bowed down to the boss and acted in front of the brothers, and if I went back to be a gangster now, I wouldn't have done that, isn't it stupid? Do you still want to be the boss with this virtue? You deserve to be hacked to death.

But God treats me well, I am actually the pavilion master of Qingyu Pavilion now, among the seven major families of Qingyu Pavilion, of course, I am most concerned about the Xu family, after all, Xu Ruoxiu's surname is Xu, thinking of what Xun Yi said to me, as a destined person of Qingyu Pavilion, I should do something for nothing.

If I regard the "Seven Don't Kill" Villa as a gang, and Qingyu Pavilion as another gang, then I am now the head of one of the gangs, but according to the current comparison of forces, the "Seven Don't Kill" Villa is much more powerful, after all, it is a Jianghu sect, and Qingyu Pavilion was originally composed of a group of Cao Wei ministers - that is, scholars, the comparison of force is absolutely useless, just look at how Huitong died. But when I used to follow the boss, I didn't necessarily have to fight hard every time I fought, and I looked at the book in my hand that was about to be torn, and I felt that I really needed to acquire a little new skill, even if it wasn't for myself, but also for the person I wanted to see again.

With this motivation, I can't wait for the winter to pass soon, but Qizhou City is now like a big ice cellar, and my mother doesn't allow me to go out at all, I think of my father's words, I can't go to the army for the time being, it's always okay to read, I'm a person who was illiterate before, and I've also heard of "The Art of War...... Yes, that's it!

After listening to my request, Old Man Xiao neither objected nor agreed, but just asked, "In the peaceful world, what is the purpose of the son's cultivation of the art of war?" ”

Xiao Deyan is actually very young, according to his age, he is two or three years younger than his father, but he looks very old, so I call him Old Man Xiao behind my back - I don't want to call him Mr. because I think the word "sir" is only worthy of Mr. Fang. His background is similar to that of Mr. Fang, both of whom were affected by the fall of the Chen Kingdom, and he was a little depressed, but the degree was much lighter than that of Mr. Fang. As a teacher, he is actually not too qualified, he is only responsible for teaching, as for how I am studying and improving, he doesn't care too much, he is very polite to me, usually commensurate with his son, and the relationship with me is very alienated.

So I was actually a little surprised when he asked this question, because in my cognition, he never asked what I wanted to do.

I asked rhetorically, "Mr. Xiao thinks the world is really peaceful?" ”

When Old Man Xiao heard me ask, he actually smiled miraculously: "What is the high opinion of the child?" "He never smiled at me.

I said, "From time to time, there are still frequent external troubles, why does Mr. Xiao think that the world is peaceful? The situation is like this, the eldest husband should immediately be on the field, such as Wei Wu whipping, worshiping the prime minister and sealing the marquis, and then the ambition of his life. "Of course, I can't tell him what I'm going to do, in fact, I don't care if I can worship the prime minister, I just want to see if there is a way in the Art of War to get rid of the "Seven Don't Kill" villa.

Old man Xiao asked, "Childe wants to follow Wei Wu's ambition?" It can be seen that its ambition is not limited to the ministers, and this is also a disaster. ”

I almost immediately realized my mistake, Old Man Xiao was right, if this was heard by someone with a heart, the trouble would not be small, I looked at Old Man Xiao vigilantly, he was actually unusual, smiling there and touching his beard, I was even more unremarkable, and hurriedly arched my hand: "I am a liar for a while, and please Mr. Xiao don't be careful." ”

Old man Xiao touched his beard and ignored me, but said with a straight face: "The son has great ambitions, and the old man has a word, please accept it." ”

When I heard this, I suddenly felt that Old Man Xiao didn't seem to be an ordinary person, and said respectfully: "Mr. Xiao, please speak." ”

Old man Xiao said: "At the beginning of my Chaocao, the sea fell apart, and it took ten years to attack, and the mountains and rivers were unified, and it has only been ten years now. Even so, as Childe said, the internal and external troubles are still not extinguished. Now the country is abolished, the king of Jin is in power, and this providence is also. The abolished prince is benevolent and popular, and he was plotted by traitors, and he was abolished. If the son wants to become the cause of Wei Wu, he should think about the country, and ask the son to think about it. ”

My brain was hot, and I suddenly felt a little unusual-Old Man Xiao usually doesn't care about these things at all, and he only talks about "Zuo Chuan" on facts, and never involves the current dynasty, why is it so strange today? Although the ancients liked to beat around the bush when they spoke, they knew how to extract the true meaning from the words they had seen a lot. What he meant was nothing more than to let me use the deposed prince as an excuse to do things, which ...... Qing Yu Pavilion?

When I thought of this, I looked at him very cautiously, remembering what I confessed to Xun Yi about my father a few days ago, and I felt a little upset in my heart, no, his surname is Xiao, and he is not a member of the Seven Families.

"Childe." Old man Xiao saw that I was distracted, and said, "Xiao is a down-and-out person, he has the courtesy of Tang Guogong, and he is taught by Gongzi, and he is only said from the bottom of his heart, so Gongzi doesn't have to worry too much." ”

I came back to my senses and asked bluntly, "Mr. Xiao, have you ever heard of the Qingyu Pavilion?" ”

Old man Xiao was obviously stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, and said slowly: "Childe thinks, there is indeed something outstanding, Huitong Zen Master has a good eye, and he must not have seen the wrong person." ”

His words obviously confirmed my conjecture, in fact, what he meant, that is, my brain circuit is a little strange, and I immediately thought of his relationship with Qingyu Pavilion, I think this is just normal people's thinking, and there is nothing, but he seems to think that this can reflect my intelligence. There were only two people in the study, me and him, and the light and shadow of the intersection of light and darkness were separated into gray lines between us with a chill, and the sun was already setting in the west.

I thought about what Old Man Xiao said carefully, and I felt that it was not very reasonable, because as far as I know, even if Qingyu Pavilion helped the prince at this time, the prince would not be able to return to heaven at all, and this would not only not help the prince, but would also set Qingyu Pavilion on fire and set itself on fire.

I haven't seen the crown prince, but I've seen King Jin, and he is more handsome - a woman's first reaction when she sees a woman who looks better than herself is often to curse, and if a man sees a man who is more handsome than himself, he tends to worship, so I worship King Jin. And if I really take Qingyu Pavilion to fight with King Jin, not only will I be working against my father, but I will also be sorry for Xu Ruoxiu - I have thought about it for a long time and come to the conclusion that Monk Huitong is Xu Ruoxiu's father. Entrusted by others to be loyal to others, I am also a person who has read books, and I can't be a villain like my father, and in the end I even look down on myself, right?
