Chapter 505: Don't push him through

Li Xian and Li Huining stood side by side in the snow, their eyes were looking at the north, there seemed to be something attracting them, the wind had already stopped, the trajectory of the snowflakes had not changed much, the two of them just stood like this and no one spoke, it seemed that the whole world had become quiet. The eyes of the two of them seemed to be able to see what they wanted to see through the heavy snow, because there was no sound of wind, and the howl of a wolf could be faintly heard in their ears, which was so light that it was almost inaudible.

It was the unwilling and angry wail of the wolf king before he died, trapped in the snow curtain for a long time and never dispersed.

I don't know how long it took, Li Huining turned her head slightly to ask Li Xian: "Don't worry about your family?" ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "There's nothing to worry about, I've never been afraid of others taking the initiative to find me." You should also know that until now, Yanyunzhai has rarely taken the initiative to go out of Dongping County to provoke anyone, but anyone who came to provoke Yanyunzhai did not end well. Everyone thought that Yan Yunzhai not taking the initiative to attack others was a kind of cowardice that was a little rich and peaceful, but they never thought that when Yan Yunzhai took the initiative to attack, would they still have room to fight back? ”

"So I'm not worried, no matter who takes the initiative to provoke me, Yan Yunzhai won't ask for the slightest benefit."

"Whoever it is?"

Li Huining asked.

"Whoever it is!"

Li Xian's voice replied softly, but his tone was firm.

"You seem to trust your men."

Li Huining said with a smile.

"I've never been stingy with trusting people. For people who are not trustworthy, I will not be stingy with trust at some point. ”

"For example?"

Li Huining asked again.

"Not like."

Li Xian turned his head to look at Li Huining and said, "Don't mess around, for example, this will cause suspicion." And after a person has too many doubts in his heart, it is inevitable that there will be nothing to trust. For example, suppose, it's better to think less about this kind of thing, to put it mildly, if I form an alliance with your Li family, then I must trust you, this trust is based on common interests, and once there is no benefit, this alliance will become fragile. However, during this period of alliance, I must choose to trust your Li family, and in the same way, your Li family must also choose to trust me, there is no other way. ”

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell my father this?"

"I don't expect you to hide anything for me, in fact, if King Tang can't see this, he won't send someone to talk to me about forming an alliance."

He looked at Li Huining and asked a little teasingly, "Guess, is it me who reneges on the covenant first, or King Tang?" ”

"Can you please stop being so sharp?"

Li Huining said with some annoyance: "I rushed over from the pass overnight to see you, but I didn't want to hear you say these uncomfortable words. The purpose of my visit is simply like this snow, without any utilitarian stuff. I just came to see my friend, of course, last night you called me sister, and I came to see my brother. ”

Li Xian smiled, grabbed a snowflake and said, "Do you think the snow is pure?" ”

"Of course!"

Li Huining nodded and said affirmatively.

"You don't think it's pure?"

She asked rhetorically.

Li Xian smiled and was noncommittal.

He originally wanted to say that the reason why snow becomes snow, the reason why it falls from the sky, is because there is dust in the snow, and the snow that looks pure is formed around the dust, and it looks pure but there is still a stain inside, and this stain is hidden in the deepest and very good. He didn't say it because he didn't want to deny the definition of purity in a person's heart. Maybe Li Xian looked at the problem too calmly and profoundly, in his eyes, there are really not many so-called pure things in this world.

"When will you go back?"

Li Xian asked.

Li Huining raised her head and looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and said softly, "I'll leave in a while." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I have 100,000 men waiting for me to go back, and you know I shouldn't have come in the first place. If the flank I defend is attacked by the Turks, the Turks who can't take Taiyuan will be able to break through and go back. And once the gap is opened and Ashina Jishi escapes back to the grassland, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity again. Although I was a woman, I never saw myself as a woman, especially in the military. I'm their general, so I'm accountable to them. ”

"Come back in the afternoon."

Li Xian snorted, feeling the cold air entering his nasal cavity: "I'll barbecue at noon, okay." ”

"Good"

Li Huining smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Can you teach me barbecue?" ”

"Good"

Li Xian also said a good word.

"When will we meet again?"

"Maybe soon, maybe for a long time."

Li Huining smiled and said: "When you arrive at the Li family, you can be regarded as going home, at least when you see me, I hope you can feel like going home, we are all descendants of General Fei, and we are originally a root." As I said earlier, don't worry if you really think the Li family is a big puddle, because I'm also in a puddle. ”

The second time she said this, Li Xian was still shocked and inexplicable.

Does she know anything?

This was Li Xian's first thought.

"I've never been a big fan of snowy weather."

Li Huining suddenly sighed and said: "When I saw snow before, it was as if those snowflakes had fallen into my heart, it was cold and blocked, maybe I hated snow because of something when I was a child, but today you are here, so today's snow does not seem to be disgusting, and standing quietly in the snow does not seem to be unacceptable." ”

"It seems that I have the ability to turn ugly things into beautiful things, is it because I am more pleasing to the eye, so even the snow is pleasing to the eye?"

Li Xian asked with a smile.

"It has nothing to do with snow."

Li Huining waved his hand and said, "Let's go barbecue, I'm hungry." ”

……

……

In the heavy snow, a team of hundreds of elite horsemen escorted a carriage out of the south gate of Chang'an City, and walked along the official road covered with snow in the direction of the Tang Army camp. The sound of the wheels running over the snow made Li Yuanji, who was sitting in the car, a little upset, and he was even more dissatisfied that the speed of the carriage was still too slow.

After talking to Chen Yinshou, Li Yuanji thought about it in the study for half the night. When it was getting dark, he finally couldn't help it, and planned to talk to his eldest brother Li Jiancheng as soon as possible. He doesn't have the word slow in his temperament, he is frivolous and irritable, but after all, he is the son of the Li family, he has seen and learned a lot since he was a child, and he is not confused when looking at problems. In fact, Li Yuanji, who seems to be a little unprofessional, is Li Jiancheng's most effective assistant.

The carriage made two deep ruts on the official road, and the snow on both sides of the ruts was crushed by the hooves of the horses.

After arriving at Li Jiancheng's camp, a servant walked beside Li Yuanji with an umbrella to shield him from the falling snow. Maybe it was because the servant's pace was a little slower, Li Yuanji snatched the umbrella a little impatiently and glared at the servant, the servant was startled and immediately fell to his knees in the snow, he knew Li Yuanji's temper, and there were not a few people who were beaten to death by the slightest accident, so this servant seemed very frightened.

Li Yuanji glanced at the servant and suddenly felt unbearable, this is a very rare mentality.

"Go and take care of my jade unicorn, if it frostbites its hooves, I'll cut off your head."

He scolded fiercely, and the servant immediately complied and trotted away. The armor soldiers who followed Li Yuanji all felt lucky for the servant, if Qi Gong didn't let him take care of the mount Jade Qilin and knelt in the snow here, it was impossible to say that Qi Gong didn't remember that there was still someone kneeling until he returned to Taiyuan, and the possibility of this servant freezing alive in the snow was definitely much greater than the possibility of him surviving.

The servant ran to the stable, and then carefully prepared the forage and fed it to the snow-white steed.

A groom passed by carrying a bucket, and the servant immediately stopped and asked for the bucket to add some water to the jade unicorn, and when the bucket returned to the groom, there was an extra note in the groom's palm. Ten minutes later, the note in the hand of the groom reached the hand of a Tang army brigade leader, and half an hour later, when the brigade leader personally led the soldiers on patrol, he met a soldier who was a fellow villager as a scout, and the two talked for a while and then separated, and an hour later, the note arrived in the Yanyun army camp twenty miles away from the Tang army camp.

And when this note was unfolded in Li Xian's hand, several generals and colonels in Li Jiancheng's army pulled the other generals who protected Li Yuanji to reminisce about the past, and after talking for a while, one of the lieutenants said goodbye and left, and after going around the camp for half a circle, he quietly left the camp and soon disappeared into the vast snow. An hour later, the news that the lieutenant heard from Li Yuanji's personal soldiers entered Li Shimin's ears, and Li Shimin and Li Jing, who was sitting beside him, glanced at each other, and there was some joy in their eyes that could not be concealed.

At this time, in the tallest and most spacious military tent in the Tang army camp, Li Jiancheng stood up violently, looked at Li Yuanji and asked word by word: "Yuanji, I remember that I once told you, don't think about Li Xian, why don't you listen to it?" ”

Li Yuanji defended impatiently: "Big brother, I don't know why you value that guy named Li Xian so much. Anyway, in my eyes, that Li Anzhi is just a reckless, with some soldiers in his hands, but such a person is now everywhere in the Great Sui, why bother to win him over? I remember when I was very young, once when Mr. Chen and my eldest brother were discussing the way of employing people, Mr. Chen said something that I will never forget...... If a man is not used by me, then he will not be able to kill him. ”

Li Jiancheng said slightly angrily: "Then do you remember how I answered?" ”

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and said with some annoyance: "The eldest brother said that it is far better to convince people with kindness than to convince people with a knife. ”

"Remember!"

Li Jiancheng raised his voice and said: "People can't be used by me or by others, this set is not suitable for me, don't say it anymore." Yuanji, I told you that Li Xian is different from others, he has a relationship with our Li family. ”

"Then tell me, what is his relationship with our Li family!"

Li Yuanji stood up and asked.

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth, but after all, he just sighed and said, "The night before yesterday, Shimin personally went to the camp of Yan Yunjun, what do you think he went to do?" Shimin has planted a lot of eyeliner in our army, and I don't pay attention to it because he is my younger brother, and we are a family, but even if I don't deliberately put eyeliner to spy on him, can he hide his every move from me? ”

Li Yuanji's face changed, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Don't force him to go to the side of the people."

Li Jiancheng patted Li Yuanji on the shoulder and said, "I told you, knives are not the only way to solve the problem. ”

Li Yuanji nodded and didn't say anything, but sneered in his heart, the knife is indeed not the only way to solve the problem, but the knife is definitely the fastest way to solve the problem.
