Chapter 677: Where Will There Be Beauty Between You and Me?

Nanzhang City is bordered by the river in the north and south, but the river is not connected with Zhushui, so it is impossible for the men and horses of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to reproduce the scene of conquering Yongqing City, and it is too painful to fight Yongqing City, with the power of nature, it is comparable to 100,000 male soldiers, and it can even be said that 100,000 male soldiers do not want to destroy a city so simply and easily.

When the flood overflowed, the city was broken.

After resting in Yongqing for five days, the Qin army collected enough grain and grass from a radius of hundreds of miles to support the army for 15 days, including many cattle and horses, chickens, sheep, pigs and geese. But the Great Sui is gone, not to mention the Sui Law, even the Tang Law Li Shimin will not take it into his eyes, not to mention that this is the Liang State, and the law of the Liang State cannot control Li Shimin's head no matter what.

Killing the ploughing ox and eating meat can keep the soldiers strong, so they are killed. It is beneficial to drive the refugees to attack Xiangyang City, so they will be driven over. Li Shimin's thinking and acting are so simple now, as long as it is beneficial to himself, then the more things the better, and the more things that can strengthen his body and damage the enemy, the more the better.

After burning the secret report, Li Shimin walked out of his military tent and walked along a forest. Walking out more than 100 steps away, he suddenly stopped, looked at the woman in a daze under a crooked neck tree in the woods, his expression changed, and then he walked over slowly.

Dugu Yirou, who was dressed in a red dress, sat in the lush woods, looking particularly eye-catching.

She hung her head and stared at an unknown wildflower in front of her, and she didn't know what she remembered, her brows furrowed slightly, as if there was a faint sadness. Li Shimin knew why she was sad, the news that he got a few days ago, Dugu Yirou's brother Dugu Ding's family was killed by Li Yuan's order, Dugu Ding escaped from Chang'an alone and his whereabouts are unknown, and nine times out of ten he also died in the hands of the imperial court chasing people.

Since Emperor Yang Guang of Sui ascended the throne, the Dugu clan of Empress Gaozu has gradually declined. There are very few officials in the Dugu family, and there are only one or two people who can be called important ministers. In the last years of the great cause, with the rise of the Li family, the Dugu family did not look forward to the opportunity to stand at the peak of the family again.

After a series of disasters, today's Dugu family can even be said to be fragmented.

Dugu Yirou's branch was originally very close to the Li family. Dugu Yirou's grandfather and Li Yuan's mother are sisters and brothers. It's just that it's even more unbearable in her generation, her eldest brother Dugu Ding was originally in Dasui but a five-grade idle job, I thought that with the Li family's troubles, I was meritorious, but unfortunately I didn't get Li Yuan's reuse, but from Dasui's five-grade idle job to Datang's four-grade idle job, for Dugu Ding, who wanted to revive his family, this was obviously not enough.

Her eldest brother's sorrow is also her sorrow.

That's why she made a deal with Li Shimin, but instead of helping her regain the glory of the Dugu family, this deal harmed the people on their line, and now she has really become a loner. Thinking of all the unwilling things over the years, the sorrow between her eyebrows became a little stronger.

"I don't know how to help you with your eldest brother's affairs."

Li Shimin walked to Dugu Yirou's side, hung his head and looked at her, from this angle, he could just see the scar on her forehead that was the size of a fingernail. Her face was a little too pale, and she didn't know what was wrong, she came out of the mountains with a lot of hard work, and she didn't recover after so many days of conditioning, or she ate too many things in the mountains that shouldn't be eaten, or left too many memories that shouldn't be eaten.

Ever since she came out of the mountain, she has rarely seen a smile on her face.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and gently stroked Dugu Yirou's hair, and said in a somewhat stunned tone: "Speaking of which, the eldest brother is your enemy, but the eldest brother was stabbed by you." Your father is your enemy, but you have built up this hatred...... In the final analysis, your enemies are the best for me, and without me, you would not be as desolate as you are today. ”

Dugu Yirou didn't raise her head, but a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Yes, speaking of which, if you really want to count you as my enemy, if you hadn't tempted me, how could I have killed the prince?" If I don't kill the prince, how can my family be destroyed? ”

She paused for a moment, and said in a somewhat chilled tone: "If you talk like this, my enemy is me." ”

Li Shimin sighed silently, and sat down next to Dugu Yirou on the half-fallen dead tree: "Actually, you don't have an enemy, so you don't have to worry about it." All this is just something that must be experienced to achieve the goal, just as I escaped from Chang'an City in despair. ”

He looked at the dead tree sitting under his buttocks, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the new green emerging from the roots of the dead tree, although it was only a few young shoots, but if it was not broken by someone, it would grow into a big tree sooner or later.

"Look at this shoot."

Li Shimin pointed to the new green, smiled and said, "This dead tree is the calamity that you and I experienced before. So much so that the whole tree overturned, and it looked like it couldn't die anymore. But after a heavy rain, a few more green leaves appeared. I can't say that in a few decades, this tree will be able to dominate again. ”

"You're trying to tell me I can do it all over again?"

Dugu Yirou looked at the new green and asked.

"It's all about ......"

Li Shimin looked into her eyes and said word by word: "Do you have any other way to go than to start over?" ”

Dugu Yirou smiled bitterly, raised her head to meet Li Shimin, and asked seriously: "But now I, apart from hoping that you can defeat all the enemies and then sit in that seat, is there any other direction that I have ever come back to?" What's more, I know you never thought of me being your wife from the beginning to the end. So your new life is not mine, I am only living because I am greedy for life, not because I want to start over.

"What if I said I'd let you be my wife, and then end up sitting on the queen's seat? There are three queens in the Dugu family, who knows if there will be a fourth? ”

Dugu Yirou's eyes lit up, but soon there was a gloom: "Why lie to me? Will it work for you if you marry me? You're a crazy person, but you'd never do meaningless crazy things. ”

"yes......"

Li Shimin sighed, seemingly a little sad: "I am indeed such a person. ”

……

……

The two of them were speechless, just sitting on the dead wood in a dull way.

"I want to leave."

I don't know how long it took, Dugu Yirou took her eyes away from those buds, a little reluctant: "There is no point in having a woman like me in your team." And I've been by your side for a long time, so it's inevitable that I won't be reluctant. The more reluctant you are, the more you will be arguing in the future. If I can't fight, the more I hurt myself. ”

"Still don't go."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said seriously: "You have nowhere to go." ”

"Is this mercy?"

Dugu Yirou asked.

"Where between you and me, who has mercy on whom?"

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's just two bruised wild wolves looking for comfort from each other, but now your wildness is gone, and I'm still fighting to become the wolf king." Speaking of which, you and I are actually the same type of people, both of whom will do whatever it takes to achieve their own ends, but the difference is ...... You can't stand the blow, and I can get back up again, even if I lose this time, as long as I don't die, I still have to fight again. And you ......"

"I don't have to fight anymore."

Dugu Yi said softly: "The home is gone, what's the use of fighting?" ”

"If the home is gone, build another one."

Li Shimin suddenly raised his head, and seemed to have made a great determination to breathe a sigh of relief: "What else can you do besides being my wife?" I'll give you a goal to fight for, that is, if I really succeed, then you don't let any woman try to get close to me, no matter who it is, you will bite one to death. Then I can only marry you, and that's what you're fighting for. ”

"Bite one to death?"

Dugu Yirou repeated, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's bite one to death." ”

Li Shimin grabbed her shoulders and said with a smile: "You know, I'm always too calm in doing things, so even if I marry a wife in the future, I have to marry a woman who is useful to me, such as a woman from a family, if I can really snatch back that chair in the future, a woman from a family will help me even more." ”

"But I can't bear a woman who runs after me all the way out of the mountains, so I have to give you this right, and if you think that anyone threatens you, you can bite her like a she-wolf."

Dugu Yirou laughed, and her eyes became brighter and brighter: "I never thought that you would have such an irrational time." ”

"There are always things that people can't give up."

Li Shimin sighed, with some imperceptible disappointment: "It's hard to choose. ”

Dugu Yirou, who was a little overjoyed, didn't notice the disappointment in Li Shimin's tone, the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter and brighter, and her eyes became vibrant: "Am I really so important in your heart?" ”

"It's important."

Li Shimin muttered: "It's really important, you are the first woman who makes me tempted." I've been fascinated by you since the first time I saw your natural dance, and the shadow lingered in my heart. So now even if I want to swing away, it's tough. ”

"I thought you'd chase me away."

Dugu Yirou grabbed Li Shimin's arm, rubbed his forehead on his shoulder: "So I've always been scared, I even thought about killing you so that you wouldn't abandon me, and then I committed suicide again, anyway, I have nothing to love." I didn't expect you to care so much about me that you would even be willing to marry me. ”

Her tone became more and more excited, and her eyes became brighter and brighter: "If you really succeed, I will be your queen." The glory of the Dugu family can be recast, and I will also be a virtuous wife. ”

"yes...... You will be a virtuous and virtuous wife. ”

"Hmmm! I will, no one can rob me, no one is allowed to rob me, whoever robs me will kill anyone. And you can't be unkind to me, for if you have any thoughts on another woman in the future, I'll kill her. ”

"Why didn't you refuse me?"

Li Shimin suddenly asked.

Dugu Yirou was stunned, and asked a little puzzled: "What do you refuse?" ”

"When I just said that no matter who I want to marry in the future, you will pounce on and bite whomever I want, why didn't you refuse me?"

Dugu Yirou suddenly understood something, and then her face became extremely pale.

She looked down and saw that she had an extra dagger in her heart.

"You know I'm hard to do, and if you refuse me and stay with me like that, I probably won't kill you...... But I already have the taste of human flesh in my mouth, and you have it in your mouth, how disgusting is that? The more I think about it, the more disgusting it becomes, a cannibalistic woman, how dare I rest assured that I would let you lie on my pillow? As I said, we are a type of person, and I am a wolf who can eat human flesh in order to survive, and so are you. My heart is ruthless enough, and so are you......"

Li Shimin sighed, looked at Dugu Yirou's face with reluctance and said seriously: "You have murderous intentions towards me, right." ”

"I actually knew it was like this."

Dugu Yirou suddenly smiled, looking extremely relieved: "So I'm going to wait for you to kill me, I have nothing to love in the first place, and I will die when I die." And if you kill me, even if you are a person with no conscience, can you have peace of mind? In the second half of your life, no matter who the woman sleeping next to you is, you will become me when you close your eyes. ”

"You're going to be in pain for a long, long time, and I'm going to be happy."

She smiled, proud and proud: "Li Shimin, do you know why I didn't kill you?" Because I killed you, your Li family will be too safe and stable, if I don't kill you, your Li family will continue to kill each other, this is my way to take revenge. From the very beginning, from the moment I escaped from Chang'an and chased into the mountains, I planned to do so. I originally wanted to watch your Li family's people kill and fight......"

"I know."

Li Shimin nodded, and said indifferently: "So even if I don't give up, I still want to kill you." I thought that people like you and me would have a long period of good life that I could keep and remember later......"

"People like you and me......"

Dugu Yirou's vision gradually blurred, and the corners of her mouth picked out a sneer: "How can it be beautiful?" ”
