Tonight, for Li Meier, who has just been rejected, she is destined to be ashamed and indignant and difficult to sleep.
The wick of the red candle flickered, the red tears hung low, Li Meier slowly got up at the head of the bed, put on her clothes, and stood in front of the mirror for a long time.
Soon, a deep voice rang out: "Come in."
Li Mei'er pushed open the door and said coldly, "Grandpa, do you really want to give me to that King of Beiliang?" She is here to ask for an explanation, otherwise she will not be able to pass the hurdle in her heart.
There may be two obstacles, the hurdles that are used by relatives, and the hurdles that are ignored by outsiders.
In the room, there was a large table in the middle, and there were two people sitting at each other, and it was Li Zongwang and Yuwen Tears.
High-ranking families generally have strict family rules, and any opinions of the elders cannot be questioned by the juniors, Li Meier directly questioned Li Zongwang, which was obviously very presumptuous and rude.
Li Zongwang's face was not angry, but showed a trace of helplessness.
Li Mei'er is his only granddaughter, she has been extremely fond of her since she was a child, and she usually hasn't been scolded a little, but what he did tonight was really inappropriate, and he said with a hint of apology in his tone: "Mei'er, how can your grandfather be so childish in your life, if that King of Beiliang dares to have the slightest covetousness for you, grandpa would have already knocked him out of the village."
Li Zongwang said sincerely, Li Meier didn't believe it, but the coldness in her eyes did not dissipate at all, and she was even more persistent, and said loudly: "Grandpa, you have always taught us that we must be true to our word, since you personally said that you want to give me to the King of Beiliang, then the granddaughter is already the person of the King of Beiliang."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zongwang was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak to persuade him, he was interrupted by Li Meier's firm indecision: "Grandpa, I can't afford to lose this face grandson." After saying that, he turned around and rushed out of the door.
Li Zongwang smiled bitterly, only hoping that Li Meier was angry.
He had always been happy for his children and grandchildren, and none of his six sons, one daughter, including his adult grandchildren, were cowards.
But being too strong is sometimes not a good thing.
For example, now, Li Zongwang just wanted to use Li Meier to test Xuanyuan Chen's character, but he didn't expect Li Meier to push the boat down the river and behave so stubbornly.
Yuwen held the teacup in his hand with tears in his hand, closed his eyes and recuperated until Li Mei'er walked out of the door, then he opened his eyes and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, why should you bother with it, senior brother."
Li Zongwang glared at the old man and scolded: "You have no children and no grandchildren, how do you know the difficulties of being a parent and elder."
Yuwen shrugged his shoulders with tears and said disapprerovingly: "Senior brother, I didn't ask you to use Mei'er to test King Beiliang, why do you seem to be angry with me now."
Li Zongwang said hatefully: "If it weren't for the fact that before the death of the Immortal Master, he repeatedly asked me to take care of you, why would the old man care about you so many things."
Li Zongwang and Yuwen Tears are both disciples of the Changshengmen, the Changshengmen belongs to the Taoist branch, and was once extremely famous, but after the death of this head of the sect, the disciples of the sect chose to retreat for some reason, and the Changshengmen was forgotten.
And Li Zongwang and Yuwen Tears are the two best of the disciples of the generation of Changshengmen, Li Zongwang also inherited the position of the head of the sect, and Yuwen Tears is his youngest junior brother.
The age difference between the two is thirty years old, but the relationship is the closest among the brothers, Li Zongwang has always treated Yuwen Tears like a father and brother, and Yuwen Tears also respects Li Zongwang very much, the senior brother in charge, he said with a solemn expression: "The kindness of the senior brother, I am unforgettable."
Li Zongwang waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "After beating a stick, give me a sweet date, the old man won't eat you."
Yuwen laughed lightly, and before the laughter dissipated, he had already asked, "Senior brother, what do you think of that Beiliang King?"
Li Zongwang's eyes were more serious, and he said in a condensed voice: "If the legend of the eight-character prophecy is true, then it is extremely likely that the King of Beiliang is one of the seven stars."
Yuwen tearfully faced a heavy face, and said: "The first appearance of the seven stars will inevitably lead to the competition of all forces, Tianji has fallen into the hands of Boljueluo, and Kaiyang has also appeared in front of him, Boljueluo will not miss it easily."
Li Zongwang frowned, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "Borjueluo is ambitious, if he is allowed to get Kaiyang again, Dajin's national strength will inevitably increase greatly." He exhaled a breath and said with a slightly relaxed expression: "Fortunately, Kaiyang is the King of Beiliang, he is the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, and I believe that he will not be easily recruited by Boljueluo."
Yuwen nodded tearfully and said, "King Beiliang is indeed not a person who can be manipulated at will." When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Boljueluo in his mind, and felt that this eloquent and talented Dajin Kingdom Lord had a great similarity with Xuanyuan Chen.
What is the similarity, Yuwen couldn't say it, but he believed that his feelings would not be wrong, and he also had a strong premonition that King Beiliang's future achievements would probably not be worse than Borjueluo's.
Li Zongwang glanced at Yuwen who was in deep thought, picked up the fragrant tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "That King of Beiliang is really unpredictable."
Yuwen came back to his senses with tears, but after hearing it, he laughed and said nothing.
Li Zongwang looked thoughtful, and said: "He showed great toughness in asking for food, but when he captured the old man and his young son Chongmao, he did not use people as a threat to exchange food, and the old man used Mei'er to win him over, and he refused without appreciation, doesn't he understand that once he has an in-law relationship, it will become more convenient to get food from my Li Zhuang?"
Yuwen glanced at Li Zongwang with tears, shook his head and said, "Senior brother, don't you really understand the person of King Beiliang?" Without waiting for Li Zongwang to answer, he smiled slightly: "Senior brother, you actually understand, and you appreciate him very much, so you pretended to be cold and left rashly at that time."
Li Zongwang was stunned, only to see Yuwen staring at him with clear eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said, "That's right, the old man admires that King Beiliang from the bottom of his heart." He paused and said: "Chongmao is ignorant, leading the township soldiers to offend the king of Beiliang, but the king of Beiliang repays his grievances with virtue, and when facing Mei'er, he is not moved by women, these are all bright and dignified men's true colors, how can people not appreciate them!"
Yuwen took a sip of tea with tears and said with great emotion: "Senior Brother is right, King Beiliang does have many merits, but he has a fatal flaw, that is, his heart is too soft...... After the Battle of Beiliang City, if he didn't move with the 100,000 people of Beiliang City, how could he be caught up by Borjueluo's Heavenly Wolf Army. Of course, if not, the senior brother probably wouldn't appreciate him so much. ”
Li Zongwang said with a serious face: "This is benevolence, and the actions of a saint are also!"
Yuwen said lightly with tears: "Some people are destined to be ordinary people by nature, the King of Beiliang is one, but in the troubled times, benevolence is just a chicken rib, only ruthlessness can achieve the king, and the King of Beiliang is destined to only become a stepping stone for others."
Li Zongwang was silent for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Even if King Beiliang is really a stepping stone, we shouldn't step on it." Speaking of this, he looked at Yuwen with tears and sighed deeply: "Senior brother, for that matter, you are too obsessed, in the end you will only harm others and yourself, senior brother can't pull you, and he won't sink with you, the matter of King Beiliang, senior brother will not interfere anymore."
Yuwen's tearful face turned gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "I won't trouble Senior Brother anymore, it's just that there are some things that can't be escaped, since I have met the King of Beiliang, I will never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." His eyes were misty, full of gloomy color like dead leaves in late autumn: "Maybe...... That's my fate! ”
The two of them were silent, and the room was silent.
