It's like the painting you always thought you had seen countless times, the blue sky was depicted, and suddenly one day, someone told you that it was a sea of crimson blood, and that person was the author of that painting.

And the answer given by the head of the Guo family next let Liu He know that the sky he once thought was really a sea of blood.

"He had a serious illness when he was a child, and he didn't get well for many days, and then a famous doctor came, and after a few doses of medicine, he was cured of the disease. Since then, he has been fascinated by medical skills, and he prefers to read those medical books to the way of governing the country and the art of war, and he once aspired to become a famous doctor of a generation. With his attainments in medical skills, how could he not see that his body at that time could not withstand that long-distance run. What's more, as a strategist, why don't you sit in the army, but go to the front line with those generals? ”

Liu He slowly closed his eyes, and finally reluctantly accepted the other party's statement.

If the reasons for the harsh climate, unaccustomed water and soil, and overwork are taken out separately, Guo Jia's death may be attributed to the jealousy of the talent, but in this case, this talent still insists on going into battle in person as a military advisor, and goes on a long-distance attack day and night.

Putting all of this together can only lead to one conclusion.

What the old man in front of him said was true, his son only wanted to die at that time.

"When I heard about his death, I didn't shed a single tear, and I didn't even repair his grave. At that time, I thought that he was a member of the Guo family, so he should contribute to the Guo family, he took the initiative to ask for death, but he did not want to take on the heavy responsibility of the prosperity of the family, so unworthy of descendants, he was not worthy of entering the ancestral hall of my Guo family. But I didn't realize until later......"

The old man, who had experienced countless ups and downs in his life, shed sad tears for the first time in his life.

"He is desperate to make this immortal achievement, isn't it just so that the Guo family can maintain its status today?"

Facing the old man in front of him who was already a little choked up because he missed his son, Liu He didn't know how to comfort him.

"I hurt one son, I can't hurt the second, that's why I'm doing it today." The old man wiped away his tears and regained his previous firm look, "In the future, he can live according to his own ideas, I don't think he will know that there is still my father in his life." ”

Liu He nodded, "I still have a question, is the one my aunt said just now referring to you or her dead husband?" ”

The head of the Guo family took something off his neck and handed it to Liu He.

Liu He took it and saw that it was a red rope with a copper coin on it.

Because of the long-term wear on the body, the copper coin has been polished to shiny, and it seems that the head of the Guo family attaches great importance to this copper coin.

"This is the object of love between me and his mother back then, please help me transfer it to him." The old man seemed a little reluctant, and couldn't help but look at the copper coin a few more times.

Seeing that Liu He had been looking at him meaningfully, the head of the Guo family retracted his gaze and said, "I don't know the answer to the question you asked just now, but one thing, I can be sure, that man doesn't have the surname Qian at all." ”

With that, a faint smile appeared on the old man's face, and he turned around and strode towards the mouth of the alley.

"I'm not far away!" Liu He shouted loudly to the old man's back with a smile, then picked up the copper coin that was threaded by the red rope and looked at it carefully.

I don't know what kind of story is hidden behind this copper coin.

A young man from a big family, a young girl in a small family, the two fell in love at first sight, even if the families of both sides did not allow them to be together, but they still made a private decision for life.

Liu He only hopes that it is such a story.

The girl in that story gave the boy a copper coin, although this object of love was not valuable, but the boy regarded it as a treasure and always carried it with him.

Copper coins are proof, and this life is dedicated.

"It's really hypocritical that the older you get," Liu He rubbed his somewhat sour nose, stood alone in the empty alley and scolded with a smile, "I'm afraid that people will shed tears when they see it, so I emptied this alley in advance." ”

At the mouth of the alley, the young scholar who had been waiting for a long time saw the head of the Guo family walk out, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

At this time, the head of the Guo family no longer had the slightly sad look on his face, and returned to his previous calmness.

"Qing'er, you go back and pack up, set off tomorrow, and go to Chengdu with him."

The young scholar who was called Qing'er immediately showed an unusually surprised look, but he didn't dare to ask the reason.

The head of the Guo family said calmly: "He may not live to calm the troubled times, but because of this, he needs you more." ”

The young scholar hesitated for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Doesn't my father often say that those who achieve great things must be cautious in everything? With his flamboyant temperament, can he really achieve great things? ”

The head of the Guo family turned his head and glanced into the alley.

The young man was still standing there, smiling and waving at him.

"The so-called cautiousness is just a means to achieve great things, and when it comes to a critical juncture, whether you can turn the situation around unexpectedly is the key," the head of the Guo family turned his head and looked at the young scholar with a smile, "Qing'er, let me ask you, did you think of the answer to that question at that time?" ”

"That's what my father said...... That question of protecting the front or the back? The young scholar's voice grew lower, as if he was ashamed to mention it.

The head of the Guo family did not respond, but still looked at the young scholar with a smile, waiting for his answer.

The young scholar lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head unwillingly.

The head of the Guo family turned to look at the young man in the alley, and said softly: "This question, don't say it's you, even I haven't figured it out for decades." In the past, we used to select those with potential among the various forces, and then insert the children of the clan into them, but this time, our method of selecting forces has to be changed. ”

The young scholar raised his head, looked at the head of the Guo family inexplicably, and asked cautiously: "What does my father mean, since you can't take care of the front and back, why don't you just give it up?" ”

The head of the Guo family smiled, "Yes and no." Rather than lingering between them, wouldn't it be better to foster a force of its own? ”

The young scholar pondered for a moment, hugged his fists and said, "The child must remember his father's teachings, and he will definitely ......."

As soon as the head of the Guo family raised his hand, he interrupted the young scholar's words, "Between you and my father and son, you don't have to be as formal as outsiders in the future." ”

The young scholar jerked his head up and looked at his father with an incredulous look.
