Although Xiao Buyi regretted the result of Yu Wenhua's treatment, he could only smile bitterly, because this ending was already in his expectation, Yu Wenhua still did not die, and in the end it seemed that he killed Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui released Yu Wenhua, but he eventually raised tigers for trouble, these things are very wonderful, although he knows the result, he can't say it to anyone, just because, even if he says it, others don't believe it. He now wants to change history and say that Li Yuan will replace the Great Sui in the end, but he is afraid that he will be beheaded early before Li Yuan dies.

History, it's hard to figure out, Xiao Buyi sighed in his heart, but said with a smile: "No matter what, it's a good thing that this nasty kid won't wander around in front of my eyes." ”

The three of them were laughing, but they were thinking differently, when the sound of footsteps on the snow outside the hall sounded, and the three of them turned their heads to look over, and saw that the two of them had walked over on the snow. The two of them are tall and short, one is stocky, with a fair complexion, and he doesn't look very old, and he can even be said to be a little shy, and the other is like a bamboo pole, and when he got closer, Xiao Buyi was shocked to find that he was thin, as if his clothes were full of bones. The man's eyes burned like fire, his cheeks were sunken, and he took a few steps and coughed, a complete tuberculosis ghost. The man next to him was healthy and of medium stature, making him look a little shorter against the backdrop of his bamboo pole-like figure.

Knowing that the person who came here must be familiar with Pei Mingcui, Xiao Buyi looked at Pei Mingcui and found that she looked at the tall and thin man, with a little concerned look on her face, and she couldn't help but move in her heart. Yu Shinan just looked at Pei Mingcui, and when he saw Xiao Buyi looking over, his face was slightly red, as if someone had discovered his thoughts, and turned his face away.

Without waiting for Xiao Buyi to think about it, Pei Mingcui had already gotten up and walked over slowly, and said in a condensed voice: "Is your body better?" ”

When Xiao Buyi saw her welcoming her, he did not hide his enthusiasm, but he deliberately slowed down his pace towards this person, and he was a bystander, and he could see at a glance that Pei Mingcui was suppressing his excitement, and he couldn't help but wonder who was in front of him who could make Pei Mingcui so dignified.

The man coughed lightly again and smiled, "It's okay, I can't die." ”

Pei Mingcui shook her head, "Okay, it's unlucky to say anything about death." She greeted her, and had already turned around and led the two to the living room, the sick ghost smiled at Yu Shinan first, of course, he had known each other for a long time, and after saying hello, his eyes had already fallen on Xiao Buyi's body, "This is Xiao Buyi, the school secretary who is now famous in Kyoto?" ”

Xiao Buyi saw that the man was very thin, probably because he was dragged down by illness, but he could feel that his body contained amazing strength, this strange contrast, formed a very peculiar charm in this person.

Although he is sick, there is vitality in his eyes, Xiao Buyi has never seen such a pair of eyes, that is persistent, confident, and compassionate eyes, but there is no trace of worry and cynicism about his own injury.

"What am I famous?" Xiao Buyi smiled back, "Don't know Brother Taigao's name?" ”

The man glanced at Pei Mingcui, did not say his name, and said with a smile: "Miss Pei said to me, I finally found a good strange man, I still don't believe it, I think there is anything stranger than me in this world?" Speaking of this, the man finally laughed at himself, "I was sick since I was born, and I have been sick for more than ten years and have not died, do you think it's strange?" ”

Xiao Buyi wanted to laugh, but when he saw Pei Mingcui's worry, he finally said: "It's a pity that I don't know medical skills, otherwise if I cure my brother's illness, then you won't be the strangest." ”

The man laughed, "The school scholar is really interesting, you don't have to cure me, I'm not the weirdest person now." I know that now a small school scrivener, but in just a few months, he has become famous in the Eastern Capital, and few people don't know it. The school scholar Lang Hong's poem Baiyun came out, and the literati were sensational, with mixed reviews, some said that the writing was amazing, and some said that it was vulgar. School Shulang got the Sifang Pavilion as a 19-grade official, and became famous as a foreign envoy, not only the Central Plains, but even the overseas foreign envoys of the Western Regions knew that I was a big country, and even a small school Shulang's knowledge and wisdom were incomparable to them. School Shulang's poem is the first time that it has been praised by the saints, and it can be regarded as an outlier. What's even more amazing is that because of Xiao Shulang, a small nine-rank sesame official, Shengshang actually cut the Taifu Shaoqingyu culture and his post to the people, beheaded Mrs. Sipin, and scolded Zu Lang General, which is not surprising. I'm just now realizing that I'm really not the strangest person, but now the strangest person in Kyoto is you, the school scrivener. ”

Xiao Buyi was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I really want to say that there is nothing for me here, everything is the credit of Miss Pei." ”

The man looked at Xiao Buyi in surprise, coughed again with a smile, turned his head to look at Pei Mingcui and said, "Could it be that the unification of the country was done by Mingcui, you are really a talent." ”

Pei Mingcui was very dissatisfied, "Brother Xiao, at most, you can give me the first sentence of the unification of the country, what kind of good sentence of your yellow dog is white and white dog is swollen, you should keep it for yourself and appreciate it." ”

Everyone was laughing, even if the young man next to the sick ghost had been keeping a straight face, a little nervous and excited, he was also laughing when he heard this, and before Xiao Buyi asked again, Pei Mingcui had already taken the initiative to say: "Brother Xiao and Shinan don't need me to introduce them more, but these two young talents still have to be introduced to Brother Xiao." ”

"Sister Pei, what kind of young talent am I." The honest young man's face flushed, "Compared to the school secretary, I am really insignificant. ”

Pei Mingcui looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Okay, don't be arrogant, I heard that you are going to Zhang Tongshou to help crusade against Lu Mingyue, a thief?" ”

The young man named Xingyan was flushed, "Sister Pei, how can Xingyan help Master Zhang Xutuo?" I just want to emulate my father's loyalty to the country and do something for the country. ”

When Xiao Buyi heard the three words Zhang Xutuo, he remembered the awe of the people in the cottage, and when he saw the respect of this lineman, he really wanted to meet this world-famous Zhang Xutuo.

"It's good that you have this thought, and now you have finally got your wish, and when you come to your father's side, don't fall into your father's prestige." Pei Mingcui smiled, "When are you going to leave for Qi County?" ”

"Today." Xing Yan said in a deep voice, eager to try.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey." Pei Mingcui didn't say much.

Xingyan nodded, "Thank you Sister Pei for your blessings, I came here today to thank Sister Pei for mentioning Xingyan to the Ministry of War, so that I can go to calm the thieves and make contributions." ”

Pei Mingcui smiled: "I just said it casually, I'm afraid that Ling Zun will say that I have a lot of things." How difficult the battlefield is, you have to be more careful. ”

Xing Yan nodded heavily, hugged his fists and saluted everyone, Huo Ran turned around and strode away, quite heroic. Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly in his heart, but he was moved by his ambition and didn't say much. Except for him, no one knows what the development of the world is, at least from the current point of view, it is just a spark that has started, and Yang Guang still has the ability to control the situation.

"This person Pei Xingyan and father Pei Renji are all fierce generals of my Great Sui." Pei Mingcui looked at Xingyan's back and said, "Brother Xiao, do you think they can make this trip?" Now that there are bandits, even generals like Zhang Tongshou can't be wiped out. Sighing softly, Pei Mingcui said: "The thief and handsome Zuo Xiaoyou of Qi County were pacified by Zhang Tongshou, but Lu Mingyue revived. Lu Mingyue is extremely cunning and proficient in the art of bewitchment, and he can't catch him with Zhang Tongshou's ability, which is really hateful. ”

Xiao Buyi said after a while: "In fact, thieves can become thieves, many of them are forced by officials to rebel against the people, if they can really live and work in peace and contentment, I don't think they will want to live a life of fear all day long." Whether it is Zhang Tongshou or Pei Xingyan, the thieves are all symptomatic rather than cure. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Buyi just shook his head, not saying much.

Pei Mingcui pondered for a long time, her face was gloomy, but she didn't know what he meant, and only after a while did she smile: "I haven't introduced this self-proclaimed strange man to Brother Xiao yet. ”

Xiao Buyi looked at the sick ghost with a smile, Pei Mingcui had already sat everyone down and said: "This strange man's surname is Li, called Li Xuanba, but he has a twin brother, so I still don't know whether he is the second or third in the Li family." ”

"Li family, Li Xuanba?" Xiao Buyi sounded familiar, and didn't react for a while.

"Shimin always fights with me about who is the second," Li Xuanba said with a smile: "I can't compete with him." ”

Xiao Buyi almost jumped up, and said in a lost voice: "Your surname is Li, and you and Li Shimin are twins?" ”

Li Xuanba was quite strange, "Does the school secretary know Shimin?" ”

Xiao Buyi saw that everyone was looking at him, and finally calmed down, "I don't know." ”

"But I think Brother Xiao seems to be very familiar with Li Shimin's kid." Pei Mingcui laughed, her eyes burning.

"Oh, that," Xiao Buyi hesitated, "I met Master Li Yuan Li some time ago, and I heard Li Jing talk about some things about Lord Li. ”

He was vague, Pei Mingcui did not delve into it, and continued: "Xuanba is both civil and military, but it is a pity that he has been sick since he was a child, and this disease has been more than ten years, which is a pity. ”

"Human fate is predestined, what is the pity." Li Xuanba was still coughing, his face was already crimson, as if he was drunk, his eyes were still shining, "Who doesn't die, what's the difference between living for ten years and a hundred years?" As long as you live with a clear conscience. ”

When Xiao Buyi saw him as a sick man, he looked down on life and death, and his tone was calm, and he actually had another terrifying power.

He is just wondering now whether this Li Xuanba is the Li Yuanba in his storytelling at that time? The one who used two big hammers to slap Li Yuanba, who was like a fly against the king, and listening to the romance, this kind of big hero was invincible, fighting against the sky, and as a result, he threw out the hammer and smashed himself to death.

Xiao Buyi only felt that the romance was ridiculous and funny, I don't know how there could be such an absurd way to die in the world, when he saw this sick man, that is, the first fierce man in the legend, he didn't feel brave, he only felt that there was a kind of strength in this person, and he couldn't explain it. But the legendary first macho man in the late Sui Dynasty looked so sick, which surprised him.

Pei Mingcui frowned, but said with a forced smile: "Xuanba said it well. ”

Xiao Buyi faced the world's first macho man, but he could feel that this person's martial arts were definitely not low, don't look at his thin bamboo pole, but after all, masters are not measured by weight, and there are too many questions to ask for a while, but I don't know where to start.

"Actually, I came today, in addition to wanting to see the strange man Xiao Shulang, I also wanted to ask Mingcui for something."

Li Xuanba's appearance of wanting to speak made Yu Shinan stand up and said with a smile: "Shinan still has other things, Miss Pei, you can only go first." ”

Li Xuanba was slightly stunned, and in an instant, he knew that he wanted to speak and stopped letting Yu Shinan avoid it, and before he was about to say anything, Xiao Buyi actually stood up and said with a smile: "I also have something, and I am with Shinan." ”

The two got up at the same time, Pei Mingcui glanced at Li Xuanba, and saw that Yu Shinan and Xiao Buyi had a little misunderstanding, but they didn't explain, just nodded and said, "Since that's the case, come and say Fang Chang, I'll send you." ”

Yu Shinan and Xiao Buyi thanked him, left Pei's house, and saw Yu Shinan a little depressed, Xiao Buyi knew that this person had a little bit of meaning to Pei Mingcui, otherwise this nerd-like person was certainly dissatisfied with Yu Wenhua and his personality, but how could he take the initiative to do something for Pei Mingcui and take him to see Yang Guang?

"Brother Yu, what kind of person is this Li Xuanba?"

Yu Shinan seemed to know that Xiao Buyi would ask, so he just relieved his worries and said: "Brother Xiao, although you are not bad, I am afraid that compared to this Li Xuanba, it is still a little worse." ”

He looked a little interested, Xiao Buyi didn't care, just smiled, "What am I, but I only know that this Li Xuanba seems to be the son of Weiwei Shaoqing Lord Li, and he doesn't know anything about Lord Li, and he doesn't know anything about the rest." ”

Yu Shinan nodded, "Brother Xiao is right, Li Yuan and Shengshang are cousins, but they have never been ambitious. Now the Holy One, well, well, you know. ”

When he talked about Yang Guang, he always hesitated, Xiao Buyi knew his taboo, and just nodded, "I know some." Xiao Buyi knew that what Yu Shinan wanted to say was that Yang Guang was suspicious, so he always used the ministers and the people who slipped the beard and slapped the horses, but this was also the reason why he was extremely jealous and didn't like others to say anything.

"Li Yuan is now Weiwei Shaoqing, how to say that he is also an official from the fourth grade, but the last time the saint returned to the Eastern Capital, he let him personally take charge of the flag, which is unreasonable." Yu Shinan smiled bitterly: "However, because he has been familiar with the saint since childhood, the saint always likes to joke about him, and letting him hold the flag is of course to show his majesty." Li Yuan's face was wrinkled, the saint called him grandma if he had nothing to do, Li Yuan was originally both civil and military, and he was very good at using soldiers, but the saint did not send him to lead the troops to fight, but just kept him by his side. ”

Xiao Buyi thought to himself, although Yang Guang is not good at governing the country, this time he is a bit far-sighted, if Li Yuan had been released earlier, it is estimated that this Li Yuan would have begun to hoard his own power a long time ago.

Seeing that Xiao Buyi was silent, Yu Shinan coughed, "I'm a little far away from this topic, Li Yuan has always been unambitious, but his son is very talented, now Li Yuan has four sons and one daughter, the eldest son Li Jiancheng is open-minded and generous, Li Xuanba and Li Shimin are twin brothers, but these twin brothers are completely different, but it is a strange thing." ”

"Are Li Shimin and Li Xuanba different?" Xiao Buyi couldn't help asking.

"Not only is the appearance different, but the surname is also different, but this has a lot to do with Li Xuanba's illness for many years." Yu Shinan said: "Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, doesn't like to study, he specializes in martial arts, and he is said to have made friends with fencing heroes, and he has always been good friends with Qianniu Beishen Chai Shao. The third Li Xuanba is calm and capable, although he is sick, he is both civil and military, and he has had a good relationship with Miss Pei since he was a child. ”

When it came to feelings, Yu Shinan was a little stunned, and Xiao Buyi didn't want to ask deeply. Although Pei Mingcui looks ordinary, in the eyes of Yu Shinan, Li Xuanba, and even herself, what is often paid attention to is not her appearance, but her wisdom, and it is normal for Yu Shinan to fall in love with Pei Mingcui.

After the two walked silently for a while, Yu Shinan spoke again, "Although the saint is joking about Li Yuan, he is very good to Li Xuanba and Li Shimin, and often let them enter the palace to drive, Li Xuanba is sick, but he is both civil and military, and like Li Shimin, he is very appreciated by the saint, far from being comparable to a weak scholar like me, so it is no wonder that Miss Pei has a better attitude towards him." ”

Yu Shinan didn't know whether to say these words to himself or to Xiao Buyi, he was not very interested, and after walking out of Defang with Xiao Buyi, he gave his leave.

Xiao Buyi walked on the street, thinking in his heart, history is different from romance, Li Xuanba is too far away from romance, no matter how it looks, he will not be stupid enough to throw a hammer to kill himself, although he is a master, but he is so thin, whether he can pick up the hammer is still a question, let alone throw it into the sky, and it won't fall for half a day! It seems that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were mentioned by Yu Shinan, and they are also a little different from their own impressions, because they remember what Li Jiancheng and the fourth Li Yuanji were so bad that they wanted to kill Li Shimin, but they were killed by the kind-hearted Li Shimin in Xuanwumen. But in Yu Shinan's mouth, Li Jiancheng turned out to be open-minded and generous, Li Yuanji estimated that he was still young now, and he couldn't see anything, so Yu Shinan didn't mention it. On the contrary, Li Shimin often fools around with fencing heroes, to put it bluntly, in the eyes of the world, he is not a well-behaved son.

Xiao Buyi doesn't understand what it means to be kind-hearted, he only knows that he can kill his two brothers with his own hands, he can't do it, there has always been only wolves eating cows, there is no reason for cows eating wolves, thinking of this, Xiao Buyi shook his head, too lazy to think about it, although these people are very close to him, but they are far away from him, how to develop, he doesn't want to pay attention to so much.

When he shook his head, it was only to dispel the thoughts in his mind, but the moment he awoke from his contemplation, his heart suddenly became alert, and he suddenly took two steps forward, and then slanted forward to the left.

At that moment, he only felt that he was in unprecedented danger, and unconsciously dodged.

The wind swept behind him, Xiao Buyi didn't look back, he used his strength under his feet, and in an instant, he had already run to the front of a big tree, and his body turned around, and he had reached the back of the big tree.

After a soft sound of 'wave', Xiao Buyi slanted a few feet again, and had already dodged out from behind the tree, staring coldly at this killer who wanted his surname.

Someone wants to kill him, who is it, is it Yu Wenhua's person? When Xiao Buyi thought of this, he didn't ask, in fact, he rarely did anything useless. The killer in front of him was masked, covering the bridge of his nose and the corners of his eyes, he was of medium stature, and he had a big black mole on his face, just a little under his ears, and a few black hairs. Seeing Xiao Buyi dodging his fatal blow, his eyes were also full of surprise. Pulling out the long sword inserted in the tree, the man was also silent and did not retreat, obviously thinking about how to take Xiao Buyi's surname!

He had just seen Xiao Buyi in a trance, he had been planning for a long time, but he didn't expect that when he stabbed out the sword, Xiao Buyi seemed to have eyes behind his back, and he had extremely rich experience in actual combat. Xiao Buyi didn't look back, so he took advantage of the terrain of the big tree to dodge his killer blow, which made the killer puzzled, and couldn't believe that this person had such a clever method.

The two looked at each other, separated by a distance of a few zhang, this place was originally quiet, although the heavy snow stopped, the eastern capital was covered in silver and looked magnificent, but it was cold, and it was far away from the downtown area, there were few people, and the killer had the courage to assassinate because of this!

Xiao Buyi moved from his face to his hand, and couldn't find any clues, the killer Tsing Yi, with a black mole on his face, Xiao Buyi searched his memory, knowing that he had never seen someone with such characteristics.

He was bare-handed, forgetting to carry his short sword with him, and he didn't dare to be careless in the face of his opponent's bright long sword.

As soon as the cold wind blew, the snow on the ground suddenly rose, and the clusters swirled, and with a snort, it had already covered Xiao Bu's pocket.

Although Xiao Buyi dodged the killer's sword, he still forgot a little, the killer stood against the wind, but he was against the wind. The wind and snow blew head-on, although Xiao Buyi didn't move, but he narrowed his eyes, this is not a good thing in ordinary times, but the killer is experienced, how can he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The killer man rose with the wind, Huo Ran moved, and suddenly stabbed straight at Xiao Buyi's chest, the move was sharp, he stabbed out with a sword, and he had already left an extremely powerful killing move, just waiting for Xiao Buyi to dodge, he would make a series of back moves, and he was bound to take Xiao Buyi's surname.

The killer stabbed out with a sword, his eyes were like eagle falcons, and he didn't bother for a moment, capturing Xiao Buyi's subtle movements, paying attention to the changes in his hands and feet, trying to judge where he was hiding.

He has a lot of experience, these are all compulsory lessons for him, and he even came up with several ways to dodge for Xiao Buyi, but what he never dreamed of was that Xiao Buyi didn't hide at all, he actually closed his eyes!

The killer was stunned, the killing move had not changed, and he stabbed straight out, this was an opportunity for him, but Xiao Buyi was really unthinkable to him.

His long sword pierced Xiao Buyi's chest, Xiao Buyi's eyes didn't open, he suddenly took a step forward, and slashed at the bladeless place of the long sword with one palm. He shot extremely fast, the killer move was old, and he couldn't change it, and he was hit by the long sword by his palm, Huo Ran swung open, and his chest was already wide open.

Xiao Buyi swung away his long sword, suddenly opened his eyes, and his palm kept stopping, turning his palm and slapping it on the man's chest. He seemed to have calculated every move, the killer roared, the long sword was outside, and he couldn't dodge Xiao Buyi's simple palm, which was slapped firmly on his chest.

After a loud 'bang', the killer spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the person had been beaten by Xiao Buyi and flew out. Xiao Buyi struck the killer away with one palm, and he was stunned. After he practiced the Yi Jin Sutra, he felt that his intuitive acuity had increased exponentially, and the movements that he couldn't do were now easy. If it was before, the killer stabbed him with a sword, he was unarmed, and his first thought was of course to run for his life, but at the moment when the killer stabbed him, although it was snowy, he felt that the killer's every move was in his control, and even in the change of the killer's elbow, he guessed the back move that would be wiped horizontally if he missed the stab.

It's a wonderful feeling, like a shot suddenly slowing down tenfold, giving him time to think about countermeasures. With his keen sense, Xiao Buyi pretended to close his eyes and took out his palm to block the opponent's long sword, which seemed to be bold, but because he saw the momentum of the long sword clearly, he struck a steady blow. He was about to hit the killer with one palm, and then snatched his long sword to defeat the enemy while he was unsettled, this palm was derived from the sword technique, and he had exhausted all his strength with a slap.

But he didn't expect that before he could grab the sword, the person had already been knocked flying by him with a palm, how could he be so powerful when he struck out with this palm?

The killer flew out upside down, and when he was about to hit the wall, he suddenly withdrew his sword and stabbed back, the long sword hit the wall, the sword body bent slightly, and the man took advantage of the momentum to bounce up, but he was on the high wall, and his figure flashed again, and he was gone.

Xiao Buyi saw that he was also changing very quickly, and he was secretly frightened, not knowing who Qingtian Bai said was going to blatantly assassinate him! When I looked around, I saw the wind howling and the snowflakes surging, if it weren't for a few bright red spots on the ground, I almost thought that what had just happened was like a dream!

"Xuanba, are you feeling better? Pei Mingcui sent Xiao Buyi away, ordered someone to take the stove into the hall, and said sincerely: "If it is cold today, you are not in good health, it is better to go out and walk around less." ”

"It seems that you value Xiao Buyi very much, and you don't hesitate to offend Yuwenshu for him?" Li Xuanba lowered his head and looked at the teacup.

Pei Mingcui smiled: "He is a friend to me, and I am also a friend." Sometimes, for the sake of friends, you don't need to say anything. ”

The corners of Li Xuanba's mouth twitched, revealing a smile, Pei Mingcui looked at his side face and said, "Xuanba, what do you think of Xiao Buyi?" ”

Li Xuanba coughed lightly, took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and only put down the handkerchief for a while and held it in the palm of his hand, "The first thing I saw when I saw Xiao Buyi was that he wanted to treat you as a friend, and you had better not regard him as an enemy." ”

"Can't you be a master like you?" Pei Mingcui seemed to be smiling.

"Xiao Buyi makes people pay attention to wisdom, but martial arts make people ignore it, he listens a lot and talks little, he always seems to be hiding something." Li Xuanba muttered: "Others are showing off what they have learned, but he tries his best not to let people know his extreme intelligence. Usually these people are extremely ambitious, but I don't feel like they are. He is very sincere to people, and can even ignore your tricks, but if you think that you have deceived him in this way, it is a big mistake, you have deceived him, I am afraid that I will gain more than I have lost, maybe this is the so-called great wisdom and foolishness. ”

"I think he is very similar to Yu Shinan, Taoguang is obscure, less seeking gains and losses, if there are more people like them around the saint, under the influence, there may be less impetuousness and irritability, if the saint can have one-tenth of Xiao Buyi's state of mind, the country is very lucky, but unfortunately there are too few such people." Pei Mingcui sighed.

Li Xuanba nodded, "What you said is extremely true, but you treat Xiao Buyi as a friend, and you don't hesitate to offend Yu Wenhua for him, and you can even say that you directly offended Yu Wenshu, it's not a question of whether it's worth it or not, but you Pei Valve has made a big enemy now, I don't think you originally wanted to fight against Yu Wenshu." ”

"Who do you think I'm going to play against?" Pei Mingcui squinted at Li Xuanba.

Li Xuanba smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said word by word: "I think you have to fight against people all over the world." ”

Pei Mingcui frowned, "What do you mean by Xuanba's words?" ”

"There are some things that don't need to be said." Li Xuanba coughed again, his cheeks were red, red as blood, no matter how he looked, he was not lightly ill, and it could even be said that he was terminally ill, but the vitality in his eyes was only more vigorous, judging from his eyes, he was undoubtedly a person who loved life very much.

"But some things are better to say, Xuanba, we are all familiar with each other, I would love to hear your opinion." Pei Mingcui took a sip of tea, trying her best to calm down, but it seemed that she was already very tired.

"The world will fall, and it will be difficult to hold on alone." Li Xuanba sighed and said: "Mingcui, I can only say such rebellious words to you, I know many things, and you understand better than anyone else." ”

"I don't understand." Pei Mingcui lowered her head, and there were suddenly tears in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't want anyone to know her heartbreak, including Li Xuanba in front of her, and Xiao Buyi in the distance. She has always felt uninhibited and uninhibited to others, and she has always been more capable than men, but no one really understands her heart, maybe Li Xuanba in front of her is more clear?

"Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, I have created a prosperous era through the ages, and it is unique for a while." Li Xuanba said softly: "You have to be ruthless in fighting the country, but you have to be benevolent in guarding the country, and you can't come in a hurry." The first emperor did it ruthlessly, but the saint was not enough, and he was too anxious......"

"The foundation left by the first emperor is thick enough, the people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, even if the saint is a mediocre generation, as long as he keeps his ancestral industry and develops with peace of mind, it is not difficult to become a generation of Ming Jun and create a prosperous era." There was a hint of mockery at the corner of Li Xuanba's mouth, "What is Mingjun?" Mingjun is just that you keep to yourself, Mingjun needs you to meet a good time, Mingjun doesn't need too much wisdom, the saint is smart enough, and he can learn enough, and it is not difficult to be Mingjun. ”

"But is the saint now in the eyes of the ministers and the people a wise man?" Li Xuanba didn't wait for Pei Mingcui to answer, and already replied by himself: "I think Mingcui, you are smarter than anyone else, you also know the thoughts of the minister and the people, the people don't ask for anything else, just want to live in peace and stability, but this most basic requirement can't be met, how can the people not rebel?" ”

Pei Mingcui still hung her head and listened, and there was helplessness on her face.

"Xunzi said that if you want it, you can't ask for nothing; If there is no measurement demarcation, there can be no contention. Contention leads to chaos, and chaos leads to poverty. Li Xuanba said again: "With your talent, this sentence should be understood better than anyone else." A man who asks for little, who is content, who asks for more, may be troubled by the people, but the king will cause great chaos in the country. Xiao Buyi has nothing to ask for, so he looks very happy at the moment, the saint has too many requests, the turmoil has begun, and the people are already poor! ”

Li Xuanba said this in one breath, with a sincere attitude, "Whether the conditions that the Holy Lord inherited from the previous emperor or his own conditions, he is the best one among the kings of all dynasties. But look at what he did, he really had too many demands, and he forced the ministers and the people to breathe! He built such a large eastern capital and demanded success in October, with countless casualties. He opened a canal, the project was huge, and it would benefit future generations, but when he dug the canal, he had already conscripted women, why? Men die a lot, and there are too many things to do. It is a good thing that he opened up the Silk Road, although it is a good thing to communicate with the world's business contacts, but for the sake of face, he let the people only trade in and out, and there is no benefit, who can agree? His intention to conquer Goryeo was good, because the king of Goryeo was ambitious and had already intended to go south, which was definitely a serious threat to the stability of the Great Sui, but when he conquered Goryeo, as Ping Chen said, he could just find a famous general to go to the war, and he could enjoy the Shengming to open up the territory, so as not to waste the people and money so much. But he didn't have any military talent, he just took the foreign envoy to show off, and he wanted to surrender without a fight, what was the result, I think you also know, for the sake of his own face, he couldn't do it once, and then came twice, and as a result, he made three expeditions to Goryeo, and the people were not happy, just for the wish of the king of Goryeo! Does he know that the world is miserable for his face? ”

When Li Xuanba said this, he took a long breath, but coughed again, his illness was already his life!

"Xuanba, don't say it, be careful with your body." Pei Mingcui finally raised her head and persuaded her.

"It's okay." Li Xuanba smiled bitterly: "My illness has been like this for more than ten years, but I am afraid that the day when I don't cough will be when I die." ”

"I'll come back from the Western Regions to ask for some medicine, and when the time comes, let someone send it to your house, I hope you can be useful." Pei Mingcui said helplessly that she didn't have much confidence in this medicine.

"Thank you." Li Xuanba smiled and said: "Others think you are careless, only I know that Pei Mingcui is the most careful woman in the world." ”

Pei Mingcui shook her head, "What's the use of being careful, I can't cure your disease, I want to go to the medicine king Sun Simiao now, I hope he has a way." But his whereabouts are erratic, and it is really difficult to see him. ”

Li Xuanba did not refuse, nor did he agree, his voice was faint, "Smart kings know how to use their subordinates, but the saint is smart in other things, but he is not smart at all in this regard. He couldn't tolerate the minister's idea being better than him, he felt he could do anything. He is so good at traveling, every time he travels, he has to use tens of thousands of people to pave the road in front, and tens of thousands of people to follow behind to fill the scene, what is the difference between this and marching and fighting? He reigned for ten years, how long could he stay in the palace, two or three years? He has traveled too many times in the past ten years, that is, he has been fighting with himself, so extravagant, how can the people not be poor? He cares too much about his face, and he always can't wait to show off his achievements, which is actually unnecessary, he only needs to let a few Wen Linlang carefully write the following history, and he can be immortal. ”

Pei Mingcui bit her teeth lightly and didn't say a word.

"Yang Xuangan's rebellion is hated, and the conquest of Goryeo has come to naught, but this is also the result of the outbreak of the old lord's unbearable labor." Li Xuanba said softly: "After quelling Yang Xuangan's rebellion, if the saint can learn a lesson, he can recuperate for a few years, and the world is still profitable, but his surname determines that he has to do things, and he is impatient to start three more conquests." But the king of Goryeo has not surrendered yet, no one knows how many times the saint will conquer Goryeo, I have no confidence, and the people have long lost confidence, Mingcui, what about you, you are still very confident? ”

Pei Mingcui shook her head and said: "I only know that Shengshang does have a surname, but he is still a man, he has ambitions, I am entrusted by my aunt, and I dare not forget it." ”

Li Xuanba smiled bitterly, "So I said that you want to fight against the people of the world, and you hope to change him, but this is a big problem for anyone." Do you think the Holy One is still a child? He is much bigger than you and me combined, all of them have lost patience with the Holy One, you want to act against the sky, I am afraid that you will end up working hard, and it will not work in the end. ”

After saying this, Li Xuanba slowly shook his head, took a sip of tea, and fell silent.

The two were speechless for a long time, but after all, Pei Mingcui broke the silence, but changed the topic, "Xuanba, you said you have something to do with me today?" ”

Li Xuanba nodded, "Yes, Mingcui, I know that you know a lot of craftsmen, and now you have a difficult matter, so I can only find you." ”

"What's the matter?" Pei Mingcui asked strangely.

Li Xuanba took out a piece of paper, with two patterns on it, a flying dragon on the front and a phoenix on the back, "This was originally a piece of jade given by the saint to the people, but unfortunately he lost it. ”

"So you want me to help you make such a piece of jade?" Pei Mingcui frowned and said: "Just look at the pattern, I'm afraid there will be deviations in color." I remember that the piece of jade that the Holy Lord gave to the people of the world was absolutely valuable, how could he lose it so easily? ”

Li Xuanba smiled bitterly: "You also know that when he kid doesn't have a stable time, he makes a knife and a stick all the time, and the people he makes friends with are considered bandits in the eyes of you and me, and this jade can stay for so long without being bad, it is already an outlier." As for the color, as long as you can find a craftsman who is tight-lipped, we will send the same jade, and you know that the Holy Lord is very fond of the people of the world, and will not delve into it. If the Li family didn't have him, his father wouldn't be very leisurely. ”

"Li Min's son was killed in the mansion, do you know?" Pei Mingcui suddenly changed the topic again.

"Is there anyone in the Eastern Capital who doesn't know?" Li Xuanba asked curiously.

Pei Mingcui's eyes stared at Li Xuanba tightly, "I'm acting against the sky, but you also have a big crisis, I don't know if you know?" ”

Li Xuanba frowned, "What crisis?" ”

"Although the person who killed Li Zhuguo's son has not been found until now, when Li Zhuguo's son robbed the people's daughter, many people saw Chai Shao present." Pei Mingcui said softly: "Chai Shao is so ruthless and brave, and the people are not bad, the two of them have a temper, and most of them will take care of injustices when they see them, not to mention that they have long been dissatisfied with Li Zhuguo's son, in fact, many people are suspecting that it may be the two of them who killed Li Gongzi." ”

"But they won't be so disproportionate." Li Xuanba coughed slightly: "I heard that the person who killed Li Zhuguo's son is a rare master, and he assassinated Li Gongzi with a spear, and his martial arts are unfathomable. Although Chai Shao and Shimin's martial arts are not bad, they are not very clever. ”

"According to the original witnesses, there were three groups of people who assassinated Li Gongzi." Pei Mingcui said slowly: "The first group of three people, plus one person who set the fire, there are at least four people. These four people planned carefully, missed a blow, retreated safely, and were quite familiar with the terrain of the eastern capital, Li Gongzi robbed the people's daughter, and someone assassinated them that night, which shows that these four people have been in the eastern capital for a long time. ”

Li Xuanba's face did not change, "So do you think there must be Chai Shao and Shimin among these four people?" ”

Pei Mingcui sighed: "How do I think it's not important, but if I think so, do you think Li Zhuguo and Li Hun will not think of it?" ”

Li Xuanba fell silent.

"The second group of assassins is alone," Pei Mingcui added: "This person's martial arts skills are not high, but he was lucky to escape." The third group is also a person, but he is a top master, he didn't even enter the Li family's mansion, so he killed two guards, took one of them and threw a spear, and stabbed Li Gongzi to death. Chai Shao or Shimin can't do this, but there is one person who can. ”

"You mean me?" Li Xuanba's eyebrows furrowed.

Pei Mingcui nodded, "Of course you can do it, I just want to tell you that what I can think of, others will also think of it, don't think that Li Gongzi has been calm since his death, in fact, Li Zhuguo has long suspected you, but he is just struggling to find evidence, you be careful that he doesn't ask right and wrong, and he will attack you." ”

Li Xuanba said lightly: "Although he is in power, I am not afraid." If he takes it upon himself, I'm afraid he'll regret it. ”

Pei Mingcui smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll do it all, you just be careful in everything, I'll contact the craftsman first when I have time." ”

"That's tired, Mingcui, you don't have to send it." Li Xuanba got up to say goodbye, but when he left the hall, his brows were slightly locked, and he shook his head secretly.

Pei Mingcui didn't go far, sat down in the hall, coughed a few times, looked lonely, and muttered: "Am I really making enemies of the world?" But the Holy One treats me like this, how can I bear to let him collapse? Besides, my aunt's dying entrustment is also in my mind in the sky, but I am haggard, what can I do alone? I should praise the three emperors, the super five emperors, look down on the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and make it unreachable for all ages. ”
