Li Jing didn't speak, but he was very disgusted with Zhang Zhongjian's statement in his heart. Li Xin is certainly ambitious, but he also has a heart for the people, which he came to in a conversation between Tong Guò and Li Xin.

"Big brother, it seems that you have made a lot of money in the past few years!" Zhang Chuchen's eyes rolled, and he suddenly pointed outside and said, "When will you give me some, relying on the pharmacist's little savings, you see that our family can't even afford to hire a maid." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhang Zhongjian was stunned when he heard this, and soon laughed, pointed at Zhang Chuchen and said: "Since my sister wants money, she can have as much as she wants." Da Lang, you go and have people send those things to the storehouse, there is Shu brocade there, and let people make some clothes for your mother. ”

"Hmph." Li Jing snorted coldly when he heard the dissatisfaction, ignored Zhang Zhongjian, and went straight into the study of the back house.

"Hey!" Zhang Chuchen looked at Li Jing's back and sighed deeply.

"How's Li Xin?" Zhang Zhongjian suddenly asked: "I met a young man in Daxing, only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, but after a few words with him, I felt that this person was extraordinary. Later, I went to Honghua. ”

"Big brother saw Li Yuan? Who is that young man from Li Yuan? Zhang Chuchen immediately heard the meaning of Zhang Zhongjian's words.

"He is Li Yuan's second son, called Li Shimin, if nothing happens, this person can achieve great things in the future." Zhang Zhongjian looked at Zhang Chuchen and said, "How is Li Xin?" ”

"The dragon and phoenix among people are extraordinary." Zhang Chuchen thought of Li Xin, lost his mind for a while, and said in a low voice: "Although I haven't seen Li Shimin in your mouth, I believe that Li Shimin is definitely inferior to Li Xin, if I had to choose, I would rather choose Li Xin." ”

"Just because he's ahead now?" Zhang Zhongjian asked curiously.

"No, when he looks at me, his eyes are very clear, as if he is looking at a person with the same status as him, and he will definitely not look up to me because of the pharmacist." Zhang Chuchen shook his head and said: "If the pharmacist follows him, even if he makes great contributions, there will be no end of rabbits and dead dogs. ”

"And such people?" Zhang Zhongjian was stunned when he heard this, he knew that his sister was very accurate in seeing people, and sighed at the moment: "The Central Plains are in dispute, it seems that I am ready in the south, but I am afraid that the Central Plains will not be able to compete!" ”

"Big brother." Zhang Chuchen looked at Zhang Zhongjian, and didn't know why Zhang Zhongjian, who he thought he was a hero, was like this, could it be that he became like this just because he saw a Li Shimin or a Li Xin?

"The Central Plains is the Central Plains of the family, and my previous identity Zhang Zhongjian determines that it is impossible to become the object of the family's allegiance. It was then that I understood why the pharmacist didn't help me in the first place, and he knew that I couldn't do it. Zhang Zhongjian's eyes were clear, and he sighed: "I have walked in the Central Plains all these years and reached a conclusion. Out of the dust, you don't know the power of the Central Plains family, but I do. Even if Li Xin wants to achieve the final victory, it will be extremely difficult. Therefore, the selection of pharmacists should be more clear. Actual mountain, now that the emperor is on the throne, the pharmacist can choose not to choose now, and it is okay to wait. ”

Zhang Chuchen glanced at Zhang Zhongjian quietly, she knew that Zhang Zhongjian must have a point in saying this. It's just that she knows that Li Jing may have a choice in her heart.

At night, Li Jing lay on the bed and tossed and turned, Zhang Chuchen lay on one side, and neither husband nor wife spoke. Suddenly, Zhang Chuchen said softly: "Pharmacist, no matter what the future holds, but at least the Metropolitan Governor is now for the country and the people, and he wants to expand the territory for the Great Sui and completely incorporate the Western Regions into the territory of the empire, so that the Western Turks will not dare to invade our Central Plains." If you don't like it in the future, just leave. Wouldn't it be nice for you and me to find a small mountain village when the time comes, where men plough and women weave? ”

"You're right." After hearing this, Li Jing hugged Zhang Chuchen in his arms, got up from the bed, and said while getting dressed: "I don't know what will happen in the future, but if such an opportunity is lost now, I, Li Jing, will definitely regret it." ”

"Where are you going now? It's already dark. Zhang Chuchen was very happy in his heart, but when he saw Li Jing's appearance, he couldn't help but complain: "It's getting late now, and even the city gate is closed, so it's better to go to the Metropolitan Governor tomorrow." ”

"No, I'll go now. How can a city gate stop my ambitions? Li Jing's eyes were like torches, he looked at Zhang Chuchen, and said: "I am a genius of the world, how can I work hard all my life on the case, fight on the battlefield, and lead thousands of troops and horses is the meaning of my existence." I'm going to the Metropolitan Governor now. Ignoring Zhang Chuchen's objections, he went out of the room, and after half a ring, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

"General, then Li Jing may just be a hypocritical and incompetent person, knowing that the trip to the Western Regions is full of dangers, and he doesn't dare to join the general's command." Next to the official road, Li Xin and others burned a bonfire outside the field, set up tents, and set up a relatively small camp.

"No, he just doesn't like what I do, he's a military wizard." Li Xin ate two bites of roast rabbit, the roasted golden rabbit leg looked extremely attractive, but at the moment the fragrant rabbit leg in his mouth had no taste at all, the taste was the same as chewing wax, although he knew that it was a difficult thing to recruit Li Jing, but what happened still made him feel a little frustrated. There were only two military wizards in the last years of the Great Sui Dynasty, one was Li Jing, and the other was Xu Shiji.

"But?" Ma Wu was still a little angry, in his opinion, what kind of person Li Xin was, when he was the Marquis of Shouyang, the governor of the Western Regions, such a person came to invite a county prince, that gave him how much face Li Jing had, but Li Jing still ignored it, which made him very dissatisfied.

"Such a character! I really can't do it. Li Xin sighed slightly. If Li Jing is not used for himself, then he can't be used by others, and at this time, no one knows Li Jing's ability and kills him. lest you become your own enemy. This seems to be Li Xin's only option.

"There is the sound of horses' hooves." Ma Wu and the others suddenly changed their complexions, and they took their weapons one after another, guarding Li Xin in the middle, and looked at the north with vigilant eyes. In the middle of the night, the war horses galloped, so naturally they had to be careful.

"It's Brother Jing." Li Xin suddenly saw the war horse flying in the distance, and through the bonfire, he found that the person riding the horse was actually Li Jing, and for a while, as if a million jackpot had fallen from the nine heavens, he pushed away Ma Wu and the others, and galloped over, even forgetting the rabbit leg in his hand and throwing it away.
