Chapter 502: Attitude
Chapter 502 Attitude
The eldest grandson Wuji walked behind, looking intently at the two figures in front of him all the way, Li Xian because of his long-term cultivation of martial arts and continuous fighting, his figure appeared more sturdy and slender, that is, he walked with a momentum so ordinarily, the eldest grandson Wuji knew what this momentum was, because there was also in the body of Li Yuan, the king of Tang, but it was more restrained, this kind of momentum actually boiled down to two words, strong.
If it is said that the momentum on Li Yuan's body was carefully hidden by him a year ago, then since the army was raised in Taiyuan, the confident and indifferent atmosphere on Li Yuan's body has become stronger and stronger. And Li Xian, perhaps because of his age, is a little more domineering than Li Yuan's introverted.
And looking at the two people walking in front of him, the eldest grandson Wuji even had the illusion that the second son Shimin was another Li Xian, in other words, Li Xian was the second son Shimin who was one size older.
When the two of them met separately, Eldest Sun Wuji had never felt this way, but when the two of them appeared on the same occasion, this feeling became extremely strong.
During the banquet, Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "The camp is simple, and the food is inevitably less exquisite, so you will have some." ”
Li Xian said with a smile: "Wine is the best thing in the world, and as for what kind of dish is served with wine, it is secondary." If the banquet is full of friends with similar interests, then the banquet is full of delicious food! ”
"Well said!"
The eldest grandson Shunde praised: "King Yan's words show the true meaning of wine. ”
Li Xian hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Changsun is polite." ”
Li Shimin thought about what Li Xian said, drinking with a confidant is the best thing in the world, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, and said in his heart that this banquet is full of people from the Li family, only you are an outsider, where did you come from as a confidant? I don't know what's wrong, he just has some hostile prejudice against Li Xian in his heart, and he feels uncomfortable with what Li Xian says.
The eldest grandson Wuji peeked at Li Shimin and sighed secretly in his heart.
"I have always heard that when Brother An was in Liaodong, he only brought seventeen warriors to kill Yizhi Wende and abandoned his armor, and he admired it very much in his heart. On that day in Liaodong, and then in Dongping, he was the only brother of An. ”
Li Shimin said with a smile, raised his wine glass and gestured to Li Xian.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became cold. Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, glanced sideways at Li Shimin, and there was a bit of reproach in his eyes.
This sounds like he is praising Li Xian's bravery, but in fact, he is just a martial artist, brave and unwise, and at most he is just a charging character. At the beginning, Yuwenshu evaluated Li Xian in front of Yang Guang, using almost the same words as Li Shimin today, so Yang Guang felt that Li Xian was just a fierce general and not a handsome talent. As soon as Li Shimin's words came out today, there were people in this banquet, how could he not hear the derogatory meaning in his words?
The people in the Tang Palace's mansion were all silent, some hung their heads and said nothing, some showed surprise, and some subconsciously looked at Li Xian.
The eldest grandson Shunde's heart tightened, and he secretly said that the second son was unwise!
Li Xian didn't seem to care, smiled and said, "The second son is falsely praised." ”
After saying only these five words, he never spoke again, and his face was still as calm as ever. Everyone was secretly relieved, Li Jiancheng slowly withdrew his reproachful gaze, maybe something stuck in his throat, he snorted, obviously a little displeased, Li Shimin smiled, and lowered his head and stopped talking.
The banquet became more and more boring, although Li Jiancheng diverted the topic, he could see that Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, who were sitting next to Li Xian, had a somewhat ugly face, and Li Shimin only used one sentence to ruin the relationship between his father Li Yuan and Sun Wuji, who had sent Changsun Wuji to Dongping County twice before, and also made Li Jiancheng take a lot of effort and words to shorten the distance and distance again.
Next, the banquet was tasteless.
Li Xian sat down for a while, then got up to say goodbye, and took Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie back to the Yanyun army camp. Li Jiancheng personally sent it far away, and when Li Xian's back disappeared from sight, his face immediately became gloomy, and he glanced at Li Shimin and then brushed his sleeves away.
"Second son!"
The eldest grandson, Shunde, lowered his voice and said, "Why are you so unwise today? ”
Li Shimin teased the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Unwise? ”
He smiled noncommittally, and turned and walked in the direction of the stable. Liu Hongji and the eldest grandson Wuji followed behind him, and they also left the camp after getting on the war horse, and returned to his own army without saying goodbye to Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng's camp is about 20 miles south of Taiyuan City, Li Shimin's men and horses are 20 miles west of Taiyuan City, a while ago, the three brothers of the Li family started at the same time, and worked together to use troops, which has opened the siege of Taiyuan by the Turks.
"What's wrong with the people today?"
After returning to his comfort, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but think of this problem.
And after Li Xian returned to the Yanyun Army camp, he looked at the things piled up in the tent and smiled, and said in his heart that the person from this family is indeed amazing, he is even younger than himself, and he actually has this thought, it seems that the Li family is not stable and peaceful.
……
……
"Lord, these are all gifts from Li Shimin, the second son of the Tang Dynasty, you just went out of the camp to the banquet, and the person sent by Li Shimin arrived with the gifts."
Xiong Kuohai looked at the gifts that almost filled a tent, and said with some emotion: "I'm afraid that the trophies and good things that Li Shimin's troops have stolen these days have been sent to you." He pointed to the gifts piled up at the door of the tent and said, this is sent by the eldest grandson Shunde, over there is sent by Li Yuanji, the Duke of Qi in the city, and Qu Tutong, but there is no thing sent by Li Jiancheng, the son of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"No hurry"
Li Xian looked at those things, they were full of dazzling colors, really playing calligraphy and painting, and there were all kinds of weapons and armor.
"Li Shimin's gift is the heaviest!"
Xiong Kuohai said with emotion: "I am willing to pay for it." ”
Li Xian sat down on the chair and casually looked at the gifts sent by Li Shimin, one of which was a cavalry shield made of pure gold, although it was not large, but the workmanship was exquisite and delicate, and it was determined that it was from a real famous person without looking closely. This golden shield is absolutely impractical, and one of the beads inlaid in the shield is the size of an egg, and this bead alone is worthy of the four words priceless.
"Extravagant!"
Cheng Zhijie pouted and said.
"How?"
Qin Qiong asked.
"Naturally, I will accept them all."
Li Xian smiled and said: "There are so many good things, if they are all sold for money, at least they can equip a light cavalry of 3,000 people!" This is a generous gift, wouldn't it be a pity not to accept it? The things sent into our Yanyun Village, do you still plan to return them? ”
"But ......"
Qin Qiong said with some embarrassment: "But our march this time is urgent, and there is nothing decent in the camp to give in return." ”
"Green Kite"
Li Xian turned his head and ordered: "Take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I will write a few thank-you messages and send them to the Tang army camp." As for the return gift, if I really send a copy back according to something of equal value, I am afraid that they will still be unhappy. ”
"The things sent by Li Yuanji, Chen Yinshou, and Qu Tutong actually represent Li Jiancheng, and they are showing favor to me for the prince of Tang."
"The things sent by Li Shimin, Liu Hongji, and the eldest grandson Shunde are also to show goodwill, but Li Shimin is not as heavy as Li Jiancheng, so he also personally prepared a generous gift. What's more, Li Shimin is not just showing goodwill by sending these things? Lu Shisan's fate is on his head, can he forget it? Does he dare to forget? ”
Li Xian sat down in front of the table, the green kite laid the paper, and the phoenix polished the ink.
"Although Lu Shisan is Luo Yi's person, he has helped us a lot in Yanyunzhai. When I was on the grassland, I joined forces with Luo Shixin, Lu Shisan was Luo Shixin's person, and he was also my person, Li Shimin dared to kill Lu Shisan on the grassland, that is, he was the enemy of me and the Youzhou army. If he knew that there would be today, he wouldn't dare to touch Lu Thirteen if he said anything. When the eldest grandson Wuji was in Dongping County, he said good things for Li Shimin more than once. ”
"Just a thank you post, it still seems a little light."
Qin Qiong said: "It's okay for Li Shimin to say it, but Tang Wang's attitude today is obvious. ”
"Enough"
Li Xian smiled: "All they want is an attitude from me, and the role of a thank you post and a return gift is the same." In that case, why bother to touch the gift that was sent back? That's a waste, a very extravagant waste. ”
"But..."
Cheng Zhijie was puzzled: "At the banquet today, Li Shimin's attitude is annoying! ”
Qin Qiong sighed: "You haven't seen it yet? He did that on purpose. ”
"Why?"
Cheng Zhijie asked.
"Because those people in the Li family are not united."
…
……
Li Shimin sat in the wide chair, looked at Li Jing beside him and asked, "Pharmacist...... I shouldn't have asked you, after all, it's your private matter. But now that you're with me, I can't ignore it. Today...... Are you deliberately avoiding Li Xian? ”
Li Jing knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Shimin, so he nodded and said apologetically: "The son forgives the sin, and the subordinates did it on purpose." ”
"Why?"
"Because ......"
Li Jing slowly let out a sigh and said in a low voice: "My subordinates once had the idea of killing him. ”
"Enough"
Li Shimin waved his hand to stop Li Jing from continuing: "This reason is enough, I don't ask you what kind of unsolvable festival you had at the beginning, since you have the idea of killing him, with your temperament, it is obvious that you will not just think about it, and according to my understanding of Li Xian, I am afraid that he also has killing intent towards you, and he will not just think about it." I don't care about any of your previous contradictions, you are my person, and I naturally can't embarrass you. ”
"That's why I promised you to come back first."
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "If you don't want to see him, then don't see him first." ”
Li Jing's heart warmed, and he bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you, son!" ”
Li Shimin walked over and helped Li Jing up and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, he is just an outsider, but you are my confidant and my arm, and I will not ignore it." ”
Li Jing lowered his head and said: "It is the luck of my life to be able to follow the second son. ”
"Pharmacist, do you think it's enough to just give a generous gift?"
Li Shimin suddenly asked.
Li Jing shook his head and said: "No amount of gifts is enough, he will accept as many as the son sends, but this does not mean that he has no care about the past, because he is insatiable." If Childe wants to win him over, he can't rely on gifts alone. ”
"So what?"
"Put your heart in your heart!"
Li Jing said solemnly: "Childe wants Li Xian to have an attitude, why doesn't Li Xian want Childe to have a clear attitude?" ”
Li Shimin pondered for a while, then smiled and asked, "Then the attitude I showed during the banquet today, do you think you can hide it from my eldest brother?" ”
"Maybe you can hide it from your son, but you can't hide it from Chen Yinshou."
Li Jing said firmly.
