Li Dao slowed down his pace and gradually approached Li Yuhuan behind him, his eyes still looking ahead, "That person used to like to walk in front. Later, when I walked in front, I realized how much courage it takes to walk in front, you not only have to look at the road ahead, but also look at the person behind you to protect, and the most important thing is that you have to give the person behind you a confident and steady back, so that he can feel at ease. ”

"Have you ever wondered how the people behind you feel? Not only do you have to protect the back of the person in front of you, but you also have to pretend to be at ease at all times and give a smile to the person who looks back at you from time to time to make him feel at ease. ”

Li Dao was silent for a moment, nodded a little solemnly, and finally turned his face sideways to look at Li Yuhuan. Li Yuhuan felt his father's gaze, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only say with some embarrassment: "I'll say it casually." ”

Li Dao smiled, smiled with some relief, and said, "You, like your mother, can always inadvertently burst out of a wonderful idea, giving people a feeling of brightness." ”

"Can you tell me about her?" Li Yuhuan's impression of his biological mother is very vague.

"Yes." Li Dao was silent for a moment and said: "Your mother, she is a thoughtful, stubborn and willful person with a bit of arrogance, but everything she does is right, which makes people feel convinced." ”

"What else?"

"There's a lot more to it about. If you can't tell the truth for a few days and nights, you must know that a person is like a big net, no matter which end you start to peel back the cocoon, you can always implicate the whole net, including the most central part. ”

"Are you scared?" Li Yuhuan looked down at the cyan stone bricks whose outlines had been blurred.

Li Dao paused and said slowly: "Afraid? Fear! Of course I'm afraid. The more you know. It means that the more you endure. You're alone, you're just alone. It is impossible to withstand so much. ”

"I want to go to Liaodong."

Li Dao didn't want to hear the words he wanted to hear, but he still heard them. The reason why he rushed back to Jingshi. I just don't want my only son to go to Liaodong. "No, you have to be alive." Li Dao put his arm on Li Yuhuan's shoulder, "The old Li family is such a lone seedling as you, do you know how dangerous it is for Yang Fan to go to Liaodong this time?" If something goes wrong, it's sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth! When he suddenly heard Li Yuhuan say this, he immediately became furious.

"Why?" Li Yuhuan raised his head, looked at his old father, and asked loudly.

"Just because you are the only bloodline of the old Li family, the only one!" Li Dao shouted. "Isn't it good to be an official in Beijing safely? Now that everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knows that you are a student of Yang Fan, your career will be smooth sailing, so why bother to go to the ghost gate again? ”

"I'd like to check it out." Li Yuhuan's pace was very heavy, no matter how his old father admonished him this time, he would ask for orders to go to Liaodong, this was his idea.

"Maybe I'm a little early with you, but there's no way to change that. It may not sound good to say this for the Father, but this is what fate is. Now Daming's combat power really can't be compared with Jiannu. And I advise you not to go to Liaodong, because I don't want you to be swept into this storm. ”

"I'm still going."

"You!" Li Dao slapped Li Yuhuan in the face fiercely.

Li Yuhuan raised his head, his eyes and Li Dao staring at each other. Both were silent. Li Dao's body was so angry that he fell together, and his breath was a little short.

"They all say that they can't be taught. Father's fault. It seems that these are my retributions. On weekdays, I just dote on you too much, and dare to disobey my father! Not allowed to go. You just can't go! Li Dao's hand pointed at Li Yuhuan tremblingly, his eyes full of cruelty. There seemed to be some tears in the corners of his eyes. "If you still think I'm your father."

"Father, the child is really going to disobey you this time." Li Yuhuan bowed to the old man. Then he turned and walked away slowly. Originally, I had to go back to the house for dinner, but now it seems that there is no need for this.

When dusk falls, night falls. In the darkness, an old man stood on the street, not moving, like a sculpture, and only a faint silhouette could be seen in the faint light.

Finally, the "sculpture" moved. Step by step, like a candle in the wind. The scars that had sealed in his heart were once again bloodily revealed, and the memories that made him painful passed through his mind again and again. Every time I think about it, it's like a knife. The head hurts terribly.

Maybe it's really old, and it took Li Dao a whole hour to walk to the Li Mansion. When the housekeeper of the Li Mansion saw that the old lady was back, he greeted him and hurriedly went up to help, "Why did the old lady come back, what about the old man?" ”

Li Dao didn't say anything, his eyes flickered, he came back to his senses, and said, "What are you doing there, heat up the dishes and eat." Li Dao's second room, who came with him, came out of the house and asked, "Where is Yu Huanren?" ”

Li Dao, who picked up the dishes and chopsticks, snorted coldly and slammed it on the table, and was suddenly shocked, "After eating this meal, we will go back." Don't mention that rebel to me in the future! The woman shook her head, sighed, and sat down.

Autumn is approaching, and the Manchu Dynasty is discussing whether to go to the alliance. If you go, it is to recognize the puppet regime, if you don't go, in case the Jiannu soldiers come to the city, I don't know what bloody storm will be set off in Liaodi. But Yang Fan and a few other people who were ready to poke the hornet's nest were preparing intensively. After Xu Ji had a dinner in the Guogong Mansion, he naturally told Xu Rong about Yang Fan's going to Liaodi, and asked her to persuade Yang Fan that it was best to change people, or not to go at all.

When Xu Rong heard that there was danger, she naturally didn't want Yang Fan to go. After eating, I sat in the wing room in a daze, and when I saw Yang Fan coming over, I said, "Can you not go?" ”

"Don't worry. Not as dangerous as your father said. You have to believe in your father-in-law's ability, and believe me, I will definitely rush back before our children come out. Yang Fan looked at Xu Rong and put his hands on his cheeks, "You just stay in the mansion." If you are bored, go out for a walk, remember to bring the red jade and bring a few more people. ”

Xu Rong nodded and said, "You have decided, and I won't say more." But you have to be careful. It's not just you and me now. ”

"Alright, let's get some rest early. You're not alone either, take plenty of rest. I won't accompany you tonight, I have to go to court tomorrow, I have to leave after a nap in the study, you go to bed early. Yang Fan walked out of the bedroom and looked at the recently collected news in the study, including the situation in Huguang and Shaanxi. Sure enough, as the old saying goes, there have been few riots in Shaanxi recently, and the rebel army has entered the incubation period. This is an agreement, but in Yang Fan's view, it is more like a time bomb, regardless of the defeat or success in Liaodong, once the Ming army falls into the quagmire, the war in Shaanxi will reach a flashpoint.
