Later, Meng Li rarely returned to the Taqiu tribe, although the prince and the princess sent people to summon him, he did not respond.

As long as he exists in the domain, it will be very delicate in the eyes of many people, and even the courtiers who support his brother will be stuck in the throat, and perhaps only if he does not go back, can his brother be completely at ease.

The years when he was not in the Taqiu Department did not mean that Meng Li did not know about the affairs of the clan. The elder brother Ta Qiulian is indeed an outstanding candidate for succession, but in recent years, Xu is too eager for quick success, and his methods have become more and more ruthless, and his father is old, and his mother can't be too much involved in the affairs of the court, so most of the Taqiu government is controlled by Ta Qiulian.

A year ago, Meng Xun, the princess's younger brother and Meng Li's uncle, even personally approached Meng Li and had a long night with him about the current situation in the DPRK and China.

"Li'er, uncle asked you the truth, do you really have no intention of the position of the son of the world?"

"Yes, unintentionally." Meng Li replied firmly almost without thinking about it, "Uncle should know that my nephew has always disliked the strife in the court, although that power is the pursuit of countless people all their lives, but once he sits on the throne of the vassal king, he will face a lifetime of restraint and fear, and my nephew really doesn't want to live such a life." ”

"Hey, it's true that sitting in this position and enjoying all the power over the tribe is also to withstand the unimaginable hardships of others."

"So forgive my nephew's selfishness, I really don't want to participate in the battle for the son, the elder brother, as the eldest son, has outstanding ability, both civil and military, and is an excellent choice for the son."

"But Li'er, the situation in the domain is really ...... now Your brother is no longer the kind and kind prince who once held you on his shoulders. ”

"People are all changing, and my brother is probably more mature." Meng Li deliberately looked away.

"Li'er, you know what my uncle means by this." Meng Xun stared straight at Meng Li, not giving him room to escape, "You have been absent from the domain for a long time, as the eldest son of Ta Qiulian, it is indeed understandable to succeed to the throne of the vassal king in the future, and because of this, the tribal elders and subjects all support Ta Qiulian, and the Fang clan, the mother family of the first princess, has begun to rise again, and the eldest prince and the princess are no longer as close as before, if one day the eldest prince inherits as the king, what does this mean for your mother and the entire Meng family, do you know?" ”

"Even though my brother is estranged from my mother now, as long as I don't go back, he can always protect my mother and allow her to be honor......ed," Meng Li tried to convince his uncle, but actually wanted to convince himself.

"If that's all there is, that's it, but today's eldest prince may have been in a high position for a long time, acting arbitrarily and arbitrarily, and even more violent, and may not become a qualified clan king in the future. Your father now has the heart but is powerless, so he can only watch the eldest prince grow in wings. The prince has not set up a son for a long time, because of his expectation and love for you, but he also knows that you don't like court disputes, so he is always unwilling to force you to go back. ”

"The Body of the Father ......"

"His body is fine, but in the end, he is old, no matter how well he is maintained, his spirit is not as good as before, and the old diseases on the battlefield when he was young have recurred from time to time."

Hearing this, Meng Li was silent again, he didn't know how to respond, even though he knew that his brother was no longer what he was at the beginning, but he always remembered the days when his brother personally taught him to read and write, practice martial arts and hunt.

"Li'er, I might as well tell you directly, although you don't have this intention, but your uncle and some courtiers have this intention, you return to the tribe with your uncle, we are sure to help you regain the position of the son, how about it?"

"Uncle, please give me some more time and let me think about it......"

"Okay, Li'er, uncle doesn't force you, but you have to think clearly, if you want to protect important people, there is no point in backing down."

After Meng Li's uncle left, Meng Li thought hard for a long time, and finally chose to temporarily escape, he could not compete with his brother Ta Qiulian face to face for the position of the son.

Recently, Mu Yunduo's few numbers made the words left by the mysterious Taoist master and the last words of his uncle reappear in his heart again.

"A lot of things, not you can avoid the past, should come, sooner or later, many times, face calmly, take the initiative to face it, but there will be a different situation."

"If you want to protect important people, there's no point in backing down."

For so many years, he has been evading, not daring or willing to face it, but now seeing that Mu Yunduo has no hesitation for the people he cares about, Meng Li's heart finally began to waver.

Or this is the true meaning of the Taoist chief's words: the so-called destiny is not something that can be avoided by blindly avoiding it. If you don't take the initiative to protect and fight for the people and things you cherish, and just blindly give in and wait, you will not have the results you want.

Meng Li wants to protect her mother, and she wants to protect the distressing woman - Mu Yunyi.

I don't know when it started, Mu Yunyi's figure lingered in his heart, but he seemed to be free and uninhibited, and he was always indecisive and forward-looking in the face of emotional issues, so he was unwilling to face his sincerity, let alone fight for it sincerely, he knew that Mu Yunyi's heart always had Mu Xiu in his heart, so he guarded her as a friend, so he could watch her for a long time.

But Mu Yunyi fell into danger again and again, and even almost lost his life, although he could treat her and detoxify, but he gradually found that he wanted to do much more than that, Mu Xiu's death made him very heartbroken, but on the other hand, he noticed that he was faintly envious in his heart, he envied Mu Xiu for being so desperate to protect Mu Yunyi, in the name of loving her.

He wanted to protect her more powerfully, like Mu Xiu, like Su Yan, like Mu Yunduo...... But only if he becomes strong enough, he can only keep this body of medicine forever, passively healed by her afterwards, and can do nothing about other things.

"Winter Wish."

"Master, what do you command?"

"Pack up briefly, and leave for the afternoon."

"Where did the master say he was going back?" Dong Yuan looked at Meng Li in surprise, Meng Li rarely said the word "go back" in his mouth, and he lived in no fixed place all the year round, so that for a while Dong Yuan didn't know where the master meant to go back.

"Back to the domain."

"Lord, master, have you finally decided to go back?" Dong Yuan is Meng Li's personal maid, she has followed him for the longest time, and she knows the most about him, she knows that Meng Li does not return to the domain not because she doesn't miss the prince and princess, but for another reason.

"Yes."

"Okay, slave maid will go and prepare!" Dong Yuan's heart was almost overjoyed, she had always known the bitterness in Meng Li's heart, and had always thought that one day he would be able to take the initiative to untie those knots, and now this day has finally arrived.

Years of evasion and forbearance are nothing more than unwillingness to get involved in those disputes, but Meng Li has become more and more aware that he has never left that whirlpool, and he has retreated step by step, only allowing himself to watch the people he cherishes fall into misery.

If my destiny had already been determined, then I would take back everything that should have belonged to me with my own hands and hold it firmly in my hands!
