Chapter 5: Promises (6A)
"Tang Gong doesn't seem to have talked to everyone about how to deal with the situation mentioned in the newspaper?" After the discussion, Wu Shitong followed Liu Hongji and muttered quietly. It took nearly three years for him to finally get his wish and become a confidant of the Li family. However, due to the short time in the curtain, I can't adapt to the way I handle many things for a while. So the hearts of others are bright, but his eyes are dim. It's just that you can't show your timidity in front of everyone, so it's hard to even find a friend to discuss.
"Tang Gong has already made a decision!" Liu Hongji slowed down and whispered when everyone else was far away.
"But Tang Gong didn't say anything?" The samurai Tong is like a monk of Zhangji, and he can't figure his head. After Li Xu left, he has always been the only one who looks forward to Liu Hongji. But Liu Hongji has become more and more reluctant to speak like gold, and rarely gives advice. Occasionally say a few words, and it is like a monk playing Zen words, which makes people confused.
"It's a decision if you don't say it!" Mr. Liu's words are becoming more and more confusing.
Nothing is said and it represents a decision? On the contrary, what has been said does not mean that it has not been said. Wu Shi Tong wanted to ask more clearly, but Liu Hongji quickened his pace and went straight to the stable, not giving him more opportunities to discuss at all. The samurai tilted his head and tried to find other friends to communicate with, but he saw that everyone was in a hurry, as if he couldn't see him as a fool who was not smart enough.
"If Li Xu is here, I can definitely discuss it with him. He never laughs at people for being stupid! The samurai sighed in annoyance and raised his leg to kick over a stone. Because Zhong Jian himself is not smart enough, he can tolerate it. But Zhong Jian, who is not smart, is walking faster and faster, and he has not seen him for two years, and he has gone from a lieutenant to a martial arts general, a county marquis, and the smart himself is almost still spinning in place.
If he had gone to the Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp with Zhong Jian, would it have been a different situation? When he felt lonely, Samurai couldn't help but fantasize. In that case, maybe his current position is not just a school captain, but he may also be dead in the wilderness. At that time, Li Xu was not a person who knew how to protect himself, although he was very honest and dedicated to his friends. But if he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself, how can he have the strength to take care of the henchmen around him?
Several brothers who followed Li Xu to the Xiongwu camp were all excluded from the army by the Yuwen family, including Qin Xingshi, who was deliberately inserted by Tang Gong. Through the news obtained from secret channels by the Tang Mansion, Wu Shi Tong also knew that Zhang Xiu had completely defected to Yuwen Shiji, and the Yuwen family regarded Xuzi as a thorn in their side, and even used obscene means to prevent him from even having a chance to participate in the Third Battle of Liaodong. But for some reason, His Majesty the Emperor took special care of Xuzi. But His Majesty the Emperor's mood is good and bad, if he looks at Xuzi one day and Xuzi is still as untrustworthy as he is now, the closer people to him are, the more likely it is that people who are close to him will be unlucky.
After coming to this conclusion, the samurai was a little more balanced in his heart. The captain is the captain, at least leaning on the deep roots of Tang Gong, a big tree with deep roots and thick leaves, to enjoy the shade. He approached the stable in a disgraced manner, took out the Dawanliang horse that he had obtained under Li Xu's command back then, and was just about to step on the mount, when he suddenly saw the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly blocking his horse.
"Captain Wu, the second prince invites you to go to him!" The eldest grandson Wuji ordered while wiping the sweat running out of his head.
"What is the second son looking for me?" The samurai paused for a moment and asked.
"You'll know when you go to the West Cross Courtyard!" Eldest Sun Wuji's voice was as cold as the weather right now. This guy has never been very polite, especially for a guy like Samurai Tong, who was born in a civilian family and doesn't seem to have any special skills, he is even more of a high-ranking nobleman.
Wu Shi Tong was deflated, but he was not qualified to fight with a guy like Eldest Sun Wuji, who was born with an attack. Smiling, he gently handed the reins to the family in the stable, and then turned and walked towards the West Cross Courtyard where Li Shimin lived. After walking more than a dozen steps, I saw that Liu Hongji's war horse was also intercepted by Qian Jiulong, the chief of the guard.
"The second son has something important to discuss with Brother Liu, don't blame Brother Liu for being rude!" For Liu Hongji, the eldest grandson Wuji has a completely different attitude. The hereditary titles of the two were both lords, and they were equal in status to each other, so their relationship was naturally close.
"It's okay, I'm about to come back to discuss some miscellaneous matters with Shi Tong. Everyone just walked and talked! Liu Hongji waved his hand generously, indicating that he did not mind Li Shimin's temporary interruption.
"Alright, please come with me!" The eldest grandson Wuji paused for a moment, and then adjusted his attitude. He looked down on the merchant warrior, but Liu Hongji was well respected in the palace. 'A person who is favored by the second son and Liu Hongji at the same time will definitely not be as incapable as he seems. 'The unique logic of looking at people made the eldest grandson Wuji decide to re-evaluate the samurai.
"This person's demeanor is very steady, and he is also very calm!" Looking at the constant smile of the warrior Tong, the eldest grandson Wuji secretly commented. "People who can calm down are scheming, so it's no wonder that the second son is optimistic about him!" Thinking that the mastermind chose his henchmen, the eldest grandson Wuji continued to look for advantages from the warrior Tong. After a while, he began to be disappointed, "But judging from his figure, this person's martial arts may not be good." He also walks too lightly and doesn't look like a very bold person! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji believes that those who can achieve great things in ancient times are indispensable for their minds and courage. At present, most of the talents in the Li Mansion have been assigned by the Tang Duke to the prince to build it, and the range of choices available to the second prince is very narrow. Even so, there are some short-sighted guys who don't like to follow the second son to create another business, and would rather live comfortably in the staff.
"Maybe the second son is really unavailable!" After walking a few steps together, the eldest grandson Wuji came to the final conclusion in his heart. When he thought about what was in his heart, he began to pay attention to what Liu Hongji and Wu Shitong were talking about. Obviously, Wu Shi Tong and Liu Hongji are talking about a mutual friend. This person seems to have a very good relationship with Liu Hongji, and he also has the grace of promotion to Wu Shi Tong. This man had recently fought another beautiful battle, and with a few thousand soldiers, he had defeated tens of thousands of rogues.
"Didn't Zhong Jian write to you again?" From the perspective of the eldest grandson Wuji, Liu Hongji's words are not without regrets.
"Zhong Jian invited me to go to the Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp back then, but I politely declined him. Later, he fought everywhere, and I had no place to live, so I lost contact. I thought he would take the time to revise the book for you, but isn't there any news from him here? Samurai shook his head and asked with a smile.
"No, this kid is too lazy. But I don't blame him, the situation has changed so quickly in the past two years, everyone is so busy that they are dizzy, and I haven't fixed the book for him! When Li Xu was mentioned, Liu Hongji's words were much more difficult, and he responded with a smile.
The eldest grandson Wuji finally knew who the two were talking about, and he often heard this guy named Li Xu from the mouth of the second son. And it is deeply regrettable that the Li family did not keep this person back then. It is said that the first time this person entered Liao, he and Liu Hongji went to fight for 3,000 miles and returned with their whole body. The second time he entered Liao, with 15,000 recruits, he broke through the defense line of tens of thousands of Goguryeo. Then he returned to the division thousands of miles away, seized Yang Xuangan's granary, and successively defeated Yuan Wuben, Li Mi, and Han Shixu. The most incredible thing is that this person actually defeated the veteran general Li Zixiong head-on on the battlefield, laying the foundation for the victory of counterinsurgency in one fell swoop.
Most of these news Changsun Wuji heard from Li Shimin's mouth, and he even keenly felt that when the second son, Shimin, mentioned Li Xu, a distant brother, his words were full of admiration. If the rumors are true, and if Samurai Tong is also friends with this person, then the evaluation of Samurai Tong has to be raised to another level. Whether a person is capable or not, it is necessary to examine what kind of friends he is surrounded by. The eldest grandson Wuji is convinced of this, so he often prides himself on being a wise man.
"I guess Zhong Jian must be thinking about us too, just like Brother Hongji also misses him. After all, life and death are killed all the way back! "Eldest Sun Wuji heard Wu Shi Tong say a little emotional, which did not conform to Eldest Sun Wuji's employment standards. Feelings are the natural enemies of reason, and in troubled times, it means disaster, and I hope that Brother Hongji is not like the surname Wu. He turned his head and looked at Liu Hongji, but he just saw a rare ray of tenderness.
"I really miss this idiot, more than two years, so many ups and downs, this guy doesn't know how to get through." Liu Hongji's big hand was bent and stretched out, as if he was about to hold something in the void. In the end, he didn't hold anything and hung down in vain.
The troubled times came, and those families who had stood for a hundred years also panicked. And not only did he fail to persuade Zhong Jian to take shelter from Tang Gong here, but he also failed to tell him in time how dangerous the road ahead was. If this kid learns to be flexible, even if he takes refuge in the Yuwen family. At least you don't have to be alone to be tested by troubled times. And he is so stubborn, so maverick.
Liu Hongji knew that he regretted it very much, especially recently, after hearing the name of Xu Maogong, the deeper the feeling of regret in his heart. Xu Maogong is the Xu Dayan that Xuzi mentioned to him, and Xuzi has always regarded him as a brother in life and death. But in troubled times, the brothers of life and death often stab the deadliest.
"Xuzi is a good person and lucky, so he can always turn evil into good fortune!" Samurai Tong smiled miserably and concluded.
"I'm afraid that he won't know how to repent and use up all his good luck at once. If Li Mi mastered the Wagang Army, he would definitely develop eastward. That person is yin and poisonous, and there is no trick that he dare not use! He and Xu Maogong joined forces, and Xuzi was too soft-hearted. Liu Hongji sighed, worried. If you have time, you can send him a letter, I guess Xuzi is still annoyed with me in his heart, and he may not be willing to listen to what I say! ”
Can a soft-hearted person succeed? The eldest grandson Wuji listened to the more he listened to it, the more puzzled he became. If a person is really poor in wisdom and soft-hearted, how can he break out of such a sky.
He suddenly found that this guy named Li Xu had almost violated many of the life creeds he adhered to. It must have been a completely different path, the eldest grandson Wuji was convinced, and was full of interest in research.
