Wu Shi Tong was glad that his boss did not refuse the kindness of the other two families, whether it was General Xue or General Yuwen, it was not a small captain who could be offended, as long as the other party used a little means, he could make the Tiger Wing Battalion face the risk of annihilation again. Regarding gifts, he did not advise Li Xu to spend too much. Li, Xue, and Yuwen are not short-sighted rats who want to scavenge from their subordinates to satisfy their desires, and when they interact with these people, gifts only represent an attitude, not in their value itself.

Li Jiancheng likes the horizontal knife given to him by Li Xu very much, although compared to any of the Li family's collections, the horizontal knife given by Li Xu is not on the table. "Actually, I should give you a gift as an elder brother to celebrate your return from injury!" The prince of Tang rubbed the leather sheath of the horizontal knife and smiled. "But give you a weapon, nothing is sharper than your long black knife. Send you horses, and you can't find a second Black Wind in the entire army! Therefore, I still invite you to drink a bar, call Brother Liu together, there are a few jars of Lanling craft beer given by the emperor at home, let's find a clean place not to get drunk and not return! ”

"Counting me, four people drinking together must be more lively than three!" Li Shimin sprang out from behind the screen and protested loudly. easily snatched the horizontal knife in Li Jiancheng's hand, played with it carefully, and soon pouted again, "There is a gift from the eldest brother, what about me and the second sister, Brother Zhongjian won't forget the two of us!" ”

"Nonsense, our family is not a corrupt official, how can we ask for gifts from guests!" Li Jiancheng snatched back the horizontal knife with his hand, smiling and scolding.

"If I can receive a gift from Brother Zhong Jian, why don't I be a corrupt official!" Li Shimin coped with it smoothly.

"Nonsense, I'm not afraid that my father will hear it and hit you with a stick!" Li Jiancheng warned in a low voice.

"If my father knows, I will say that it is your example, and I am just imitating my eldest brother's example!" Li Shimin fought back with vigor.

“……”

For the atmosphere of the two brothers loving each other, Li Xu has always been envious. When the two of them had enough, they picked up three small square boxes from their side, handed them to Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "These three gadgets, given to Shimin, Wan'er and Yuanji, are all specialties of my hometown, show everyone a freshness!" ”

"I'm not a child!" Li Shimin protested in a low voice, obviously more interested in the horizontal knife in his brother's hand than in the gift box in his own hand. When he opened the first box, his eyes were immediately attracted by the "gadgets" inside, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and his face was full of joy.

Inside the box is a row of pottery figures, each only the size of a thumb, pinched into the appearance of a previous generation of generals, officers, and soldiers, one by one. What's even more rare is that the surface of each potter is burned with red, green and yellow glaze, which looks energetic and the armor is distinct. If the potters in each box are arranged according to rank, they can be lined up from the general, the general, the hussar to the gang commander, which just represents the soldiers of the first house.

"It's rare that they burn vividly!" Li Jiancheng's eyes were also attracted by the Taoren, and he stepped forward and said.

"There's no place for you here!" Li Shimin grimaced at his brother and made a gesture with his arms to protect his personal belongings. In his spare time, he and Wan'er talked on paper, and always felt that there was no real knife or gun to go to the battlefield. Now that there are potters, you can draw the ground with the second sister as a array, one side is Goguryeo, and the other side is the Great Sui. Each general represents a group of soldiers and horses, and a gang commander represents a team of small soldiers, and they come and go to divide the winners and losers.

The pottery was bought by Li Xu before he left Uetani-gun. Li Wan'er likes to collect strange objects, and he also unconsciously began to pay attention to local specialties. When I bought it, I thought that I couldn't let people tell right from wrong, so I gave Li Shimin and Yuan Ji a set of each. Seeing that Li Shimin liked it at this moment, Li Xu also felt happy, pulled the potter a few times, and asked: "What about Wan'er, aren't your sisters and brothers inseparable every day, why didn't you see her today?" ”

"Second sister, I played too crazy a few days ago, and I was locked up in the backyard by my mother to be a female celebrity. It is estimated that there will be no three or five that will not be released. After a while, I will send Brother Zhong Jian's gift over, so that she will not be able to hold back her horns! Li Shimin replied in confidence, opened the other two boxes of pottery, and compared them in the sun.

"If Wan'er knew that your brother was still thinking about her thousands of miles away, I don't know how happy she was!" Li Jiancheng stepped forward and patted Xuzi on the shoulder, "No matter what they are doing, let's go drink, if we don't get drunk today, we won't return!" ”

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!" Li Xu's gaze was withdrawn from the terracotta figurines, and his eyes were instantly filled with smiles.

Rao is Li Xu has a good amount of alcohol, and he was drunk three times in three days. Once with Li Jiancheng, Liu Hongji and Li Shimin, once with Wu Shitong and other brothers in his battalion, and the third time with Liu Hongji, the old general Xue Shixiong and the Xue family brothers. For this young man who is not very old, but he is extremely brave and generous, and he is generous and decent, everyone values him, and it is inevitable that he will love him at the wine table, and always regard him as the main target of the toast. Li Xu must drink wine, and if he drinks, he will drink it all, and after a few rounds of wine banquets, he also has a reputation for being straightforward.

No one saw the sadness in Xuzi's eyes when he lowered his head to the wine glass, and people were keen to talk about his bravery when he stepped on the company's camp, and about his wit in killing the Goguryeo general with one arrow, but they all ignored that these were not the things that the young man cared about the most. Only Liu Hongji, who was old and sophisticated, accidentally noticed that Li Xu's alcohol consumption was not as good as before, and on the way back from General Xue Shixiong's camp together, he quipped with a little drunkenness: "You seem to be more drunk than before, have you been injured a few times, and your alcohol consumption has also been reduced?" ”

"No way, sometimes as soon as I pick up the cup, I think of Lao Qi and a few of them!" Li Xu sighed and replied in a low voice. In front of Liu Hongji, he couldn't hide it, and he didn't want to hide too much of his heart. The only brothers who drank and messed around that day were Liu Hongji and Wu Shi Tong were left, and Xuzi didn't want to lose more friendships.

Liu Hongji was dumbfounded. He knew that Li Xu valued affection, which was one of the reasons why he had to bring Li Xu to Tang Gong to seek wealth and prosperity. But he didn't expect that nearly half a year had passed, and the little brother was still haunted by the death of his companions.

This is not a good thing, and sometimes people can't live too clearly. Thinking of this, Liu Hongji persuaded in a low voice: "Let him pass the past, even if you are sad, they will not be able to turn around." People always have to look forward when they live, and Tang Gong has already "If it is just to save General Xue alone, why should we pay more than 300 brothers?" Li Xu shook his head lightly and interrupted Liu Hongji's words. Tang Gong Li Yuan lived up to the name of benevolence and righteousness, and he did his best to win the glory for all the brothers of the grain protection army who buried their bones in Liaodong. Among the more than 300,000 people who died in the disaster in Liaodong last year, the proportion of more than 300 brothers in the grain guards left their names was the highest, and the proportion of their family members receiving the imperial court's bereavement and commendation was also the largest. But what does this make up for? Can you wake up the dead? Li Xu couldn't believe it.

"Xuzi, forget about it. Zigu had already done his best at that time! Liu Hongji stopped his horse and urged urgently.

"I have never blamed Brother Jiancheng, he is just a long history in the army, and even the old general Yuwen can't stop it, and he can't stop it." Li Xu shook his head again and clarified Liu Hongji's misunderstanding of him.

Li Jiancheng is a person who values affection and righteousness, and he has repeatedly apologized to Liu, Li and others in person for the burning of the pontoon bridge. Li Xu never blamed him, he agreed with Liu Hongji's evaluation of Li Jiancheng, 'Zigu is not a person with quick wisdom'! At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and there was no staff member by Li Jiancheng's side to plan for him, and it was impossible for him to block General Wei's order by himself.

Li Xu didn't even blame Wei Wensheng for being ruthless. Sacrificing the hundreds of remnants of soldiers who might survive to protect the entire land of western Liaoning was not a wrong choice for General Wei, who was accustomed to seeing death. If Yu Wenshu, Li Yuan or even Liu Hongji were in that position, they might have made the same decision.

His Majesty the Emperor who ordered the destruction of the bridge was not wrong, General Wei Da who carried out the task of destroying the bridge was not wrong, and there was no mistake in the prince of Tang who failed hundreds of brothers who entrusted him with his life. It's just the dead who are wrong, and their status is too low. If it were true that each of them had been as noble in blood as they usually boasted, there would have been no fire on the two pontoons.

In other words, if General Yuwenshu had not been reduced to a civilian position at that time, and Yuwenkai, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, would not have died of illness, General Wei would never have ordered the two pontoon bridges to be burned when he knew that Yuwenshi had any hope of survival.

Xu Zi now only blames himself and the robes for their cheap lives, and no one is a general, or the son and nephew of any prince and nobleman. Since returning to Liaoxi alive, he especially understands why the Xu family has done their best to cultivate Xu Dayan as the hope of the family! I especially understand why Xu Dayan's lifelong ambition is to make the family rise to a real wealth!

The truth in everyone's eyes is related to their location and personal experience, and everyone has their own belief in the truth.

At this moment, the truth that Xuzi saw was that this world was set up for the wealthy, and the life of the descendants of ordinary people was humble, and no one cared about death.

"Xuzi, you have to get used to it slowly!" Liu Hongji sighed and taught earnestly.

"Hmm!" Li Xu replied in a low voice. Liu Hongji once said that many rules in this world are unreasonable, but you don't have the strength to change, so you must learn to adapt. Otherwise, there will be no other outcome than to put yourself in harm's way. Li Xu knew that he understood it relatively late, but since he understood it, he tried to do it and try to adapt to the invisible rules.

"I'm just feeling a little sad in my heart! I'll try to adapt! When he was about to arrive at the gate of the barracks, Li Xu raised his head and gave Liu Hongji a frank smile.
