Chapter 2: Evil obstacles are born and sick and haunted
Eight years ago, Na Lan Xue was only six months pregnant, gave birth to a son for Li Mu, when he was born, he was thin and did not breathe, thinking that this son died of premature birth, and the weak Na Lan Xue was unwilling, and he could not save the son by all means, and after being sad for a few hours, under the persuasion of Li Mu, he arranged for someone to be buried.
The four family members wrapped the dead fetus, found a hillside, piled up the wood, and wanted to light a fire when the wind was blowing, the leaves were rattling, and six dark colored lights flew in the night sky, hovering in the air, frightening the family to the bones, and the legs were weak, thinking that it was a demon asking for his life, trembling, prostrating on the ground and worshipping, kneeling for a long time, the colored light did not disperse, and the light became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire hillside, when the four family members were desperate, the six colored lights suddenly gathered together, the light flashed, and fell into the mouth of this son, this son' Wow, come alive.
When the family heard the baby's cry, they still didn't dare to stand up, and cried for a long time, the cry was too harsh, these people saw that there was nothing to do, so they had the courage to check, and saw the baby's crying alive, so they held the child in a panic and quickly ran back to the house.
Nalan Xue saw that the son she gave birth to came back from the dead, cried with joy, let the nurse to her side, and looked at the middle of the night, but soon after the son was brought home, he foamed at the mouth, his face was bruised, and he found several doctors overnight to stabilize the weak breathing, but since then, the disease still attacks frequently, and the cause can not be found, and every time it is almost on the verge of dying. The fortune teller was found, but there was nothing he could do, and he happened to meet a wandering Taoist passing by, and after observing this son, he was also puzzled, and wondered: "There is no such person in the world, and General Li has no such son in his life!"
When Li Mu heard the words of the Yunyou Daoist, he believed it and thought that this son was unknown, so he named him Li Barrier. Due to the continuous war, Li Barrier's life is in danger, and he may die at any time, and the little concern for Li Barrier has become indifferent, even if he suddenly hears the news of Wu Barrier's death one day, he has already prepared in his heart, and even forgot that he has this son.
Nalan Xue no longer fought with Li Mu, stayed in Handan, never gave up, searched for famous doctors in various countries, used many prescriptions and remedies, and supported Li Shu to survive, Li Mu generously squandered money, and the money he got was also rewarded to soldiers, buying ordnance and war horses, but the family was poor, Nalan Xue treated his son, spent his savings for many years, and sold all his jewelry.
Li Mu occasionally went home, and saw Li Barrier twice, the first time was when Li Barrier was five years old, when he saw Li Barrier holding on to a stone bench in the courtyard, staggering up straight, and said angrily: "After I have a gate, I am really ashamed of my ancestors!"
The second time, when Li Zhan was seven years old, once asked Li Zhan about his reading, Nalan Xue Xi said: "Jiao'er is very smart, and he will never forget it!" Li Mu was overjoyed, went to see Li Zhan, and thought, "If you can't practice martial arts, it's good to be a military advisor and strategize." So he took the test of the content of the "Art of War" without obstacles, Li Barrier was word-for-word, and the answer was like a stream, Li Mu was delighted, and instructed: "Don't memorize by rote, talk about soldiers on paper!"
But I didn't expect Li Barrier to be unexpected, and said in a young voice: "The child thinks that the defeat in the Battle of Changping is not in Zhao Kuo, and if Bai Qi goes out for Zhao Guo, he will definitely be defeated!"
After Li Mu heard this, he said "oh", but he didn't expect the seven-year-old child to have his own opinion, and asked with a smile: "Then where do you think the failure is?"
Li Barrier said: "Zhao Kuo did not rush forward, the Qin soldiers attacked far away, although they showed weakness, but the army's morale was bound to be weak, the Zhao army took advantage of the victory to pursue, and made a big move, this is not wrong, but Bai Qi actually used 5,000 cavalry to divide the 400,000 army into two places and trap the Zhao army, this should have been a mud cow into the sea, but it succeeded, and Changping is so close to Handan, but the grain and grass were cut off, and the main force of the Zhao army was cut off for more than 40 days, which shows that Zhao lost psychologically, and was afraid of the psychology of the Qin army, if the soldiers did not dare to fight, how could they win?"
Li Mu has always thought that in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo's art of war was improper, he defended against the Huns, and regretted that he had no chance to command that battle, and when he heard Li Barrier say this, he said angrily: "A bunch of nonsense, when did the soldiers of my Zhao army fear the Qin army, if it wasn't for Zhao Kuo's improper command, how could you exonerate a sinner from responsibility!"
Li Jian trembled and knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Father is angry, the child is just expressing my thoughts, the matter has passed, and our argument is worthless." ”
When Li Mu heard Li Jian say this, he was even more angry, and said: "You are a yellow-mouthed child, you don't learn and don't know, distort the facts, you have to remember that the Battle of Changping is the shame of Zhao State, as a person of Zhao State, you must always remember this shame, how do you say that my Zhao State lost in my heart?"
Li Jian said: "If the child doesn't say it, the child is afraid that if he says it, he will make his father angry." ”
Li Mu pointed at Li Barrier and said, "Evil Barrier, you say, you have to make it clear!" After hearing this, Nalan Xue wiped her tears on the side.
Although Li Barrier was weak, but when he heard the word "evil barrier", he was disheartened, and his young heart knew that in his father's eyes, he would always be just a sin obstacle who would never care, so he mustered up his courage and said: " First, although there are many Zhao troops, but such as a plate of scattered sand, the army is scattered, and the combat experience is lacking, if not, the 400,000 army can not break through, second, Zhao has no far-sighted ministers, can not see the key to the problem, can not offer advice, is the war and arguments, not the enemy, but the struggle for power, such a national system, how can it be undefeated, third, the king of Zhao can not see that the battle of Changping is a battle of life and death between the two countries, that it can be fought and peaceful, and even the grain and grass are not ready, so he is in a hurry to let Zhao Kuo go out, the grain and grass have not arrived, the soldiers and horses go first, how can they be undefeated, the whole country is lost in their hearts, and the responsibility is shirked to a brave and fearless, Zhao Kuo who died on the battlefield, ridiculous, if Zhao Kuo led the Qin army, Bai Qi led the Zhao army, Bai Qi will definitely fail, the world's famous ministers and good generals can radiate light in the Qin State, but they are all buried in the Six Kingdoms, which shows that there is no Ming Jun in the Six Kingdoms, and the real sinner in the Battle of Changping is King Zhao!"
After Li Mu heard this, he pulled out his sword, pointed it at Li Shuan's throat, and scolded angrily: "You are really not my son, you will be an unfaithful and unfilial wild seed, I will get rid of you today!" Nalan Xue hurriedly rushed to Li Shuan's body, protected Li Shuan, was already in tears, and begged: "The obstacle is ignorant, it is not easy to support him in the concubine's body, beg the general for forgiveness, let go of the barrier, this is the lifeblood of the Li family!"
Seeing Nalan Xue pleading, Li Mu's heart softened, put away his sword, and said coldly: "I, Li Mu, don't have such a son, this is a good son you raised!" From now on, even if Li Mu returned to the mansion, he didn't want to see Li Shu.
The time has passed, the shadow of the courtyard trees is uneven, Li Mu walked out of the study, wanted to go to Mrs. Wang, but saw that the oil lamp in the main room had been extinguished, and instead, saw that the light in the wing room was still on, in fact, Li Mu originally wanted to go to Nalan Xue to sleep, by the way to the night pearl, but the night pearl has been sold, used to treat Li Zhi, displeased, temporarily changed his mind, and did not tell Mrs. Wang, now standing in the courtyard, but at a loss to know where to go, thinking:" For so many years, although she has received a lot of rewards, He once gave her half a penny of copper money to provide their mother and son with a living, and it also hurt her, selling the night pearl and seeking medical treatment, it was also a last resort, I secretly blamed myself, ashamed of being a big husband. ”
He was about to walk to the wing room, and saw that the lights were not turned off in Li Zhong's house, thinking about the injury of the rebel, the twenty military sticks, and the punishment for him was a little too heavy, and he didn't know if he could fight on the battlefield again in the future, so he walked slowly towards Li Zhong's house.
When he was about to get to the door, he heard the voice of a child talking from inside the house, "Father's actions today not only hurt my brother, but also increased Guo Kai's arrogance!" Li Mu stopped and listened quietly outside the house.
Li Zhong sighed and said: "It was I who was reckless and harmed my father-in-law!"
"Guo Kai is jealous of the virtuous, slanderous and slanderous, and King Zhao is a traitor, if he doesn't get rid of Guo Kai today, he will leave trouble in the future, my brother is not reckless, but too hesitant. When Li Mu heard this, the child who spoke must be Li Barrier.
The relationship between Li Zhong and Li Jian was harmonious, and every time Li Zhong returned, he would visit Li Jian and bring him some ancient books to tell about the situation on the battlefield and the situation in various countries.
Li Jian understands the outside situation, most of them are dictated by Li Zhong, Li Jian is weak, he has to breathe for a long time after walking for a while, he can only stay at home every day, read some books, and has no physical strength to go out to play with children of the same age, and his two sisters ignore him as a waste person, except for his mother, Li Zhong is his closest person.
Li Zhong couldn't help but say bitterly: "If it weren't for my father-in-law to stop me, I would definitely kill Zhao Cong tonight, and then apologize with death!"
Li Barrier said: "Zhao Cong is not afraid, if there is no Guo Kai, he will not dare to make waves, getting rid of Guo Kai is the key, a minister can sit in the position of prime minister, the country will die, no matter how prominent his father's military exploits are, he can't match Guo Kai's mouth, the traitorous minister is accompanied by the faint king, and his father's move, such as a tiger returning to the mountain, his life is in danger." ”
When Li Mu heard it outside, his anger surged, he smashed the door of the house with one foot, and while rushing to the house, he shouted: "Bold and evil, playing right and wrong, bullying the king, I will end you today!" A palm was about to slap the head of the eight-year-old child Li Barrier who was sitting on the chair next to the bed, Li Zhong saw Li Mu slap a palm to Li Barrier beside him, if it hit, he would inevitably break the brain, endure the pain, fly to Li Mu, and face Li Mu with a palm, this palm hit Li Zhong's shoulder, only to hear a 'click', the bones were shattered, Li Zhong endured the severe pain, and shouted:" It is my fault that my righteous father is angry, my righteous brother is talented and intelligent, and he will be a material that can be made in the future, forgive my righteous brother!" and hugged Li Mu's waist with his other hand.
Li Mu saw that he had hit Li Zhong by mistake, and was hugged by him again, and said angrily: "Let go of me, I want to kill this evil animal, if I don't kill it today, it will definitely be like Zhao Kuo, and it will bring disaster to the country and the people!"
Li Zhong begged: "Father-in-law, just beat me to death, forgive my brother-in-law, it's all my fault, I deserve death!"
Li Jian stood up slightly, surprisingly calm, and said: "Brother, let him beat me to death, anyway, my life is not long, it is better to die early and be relieved if he lives to suffer, if it is not for the fear that my mother will be sad, I will die early, he is like this, and my mother is even more sad." ”
Li Zhong shouted: "Stop and apologize to your father-in-law!"
Hearing this, Nalan Xue immediately rushed over, hugged Li Zhan, and cried bitterly: "Quickly make amends to your father!" Mrs. Wang and some family members also rushed over to persuade them.
Li Shuanqing's beautiful eyes looked at his father and said: "In my father's heart, like my name, I will always be an evil obstacle who cannot go to the battlefield, it is better for you to bring me to the battlefield and kill me, I am also called dying on the battlefield, and I will not fall into your ......life."
Nalan Xue covered Li Barrier's mouth and said, "Don't say it again, kneel down!" Li Barrier knelt down.
After Li Mu heard this, he laughed wildly: "I, Li Mu, have such a rebellious son, God treats me well!" suddenly pointed at Li Barrier and shouted: "In the future, you are not allowed to be surnamed Li again, you get out of the house for me!"
Nalan Xue wiped away her tears, stood up silently, and said in a deep voice: "My family, my clan were all killed by you, where did you let my son go?"
After Li Mu heard this, he opened his eyes and said, "It turns out that you have always hated me in your heart, and you didn't say it until now." ”
Nalan Xue snorted coldly and said: "If I hate you, you would have been killed by me a long time ago, how could I give birth to a barrier for you, in this country where the weak and the strong eat, how can we survive, who is destroyed is not destroyed, my father asked me to learn your Chinese culture, let me marry into a strong country, in order to survive, before I got married, I was destroyed by you and the army, what is the point of my revenge, is the country important to me as a woman?" I just want a happy family, raising children, for the rest of my life, it's not that I hate you, it's that you can't let go of me as a foreign race in your heart. ”
After Li Mu heard this, he was already deeply guilty, and when he saw Nalan Xue picking up Li Barrier and walking out, he said, "Come back, where are you going?"
Nalan Xue said: "Although I have nowhere to go, I can't watch you beat the barrier to death, you don't recognize him as your flesh and blood, but he is my flesh and blood, if I live for a day, I won't let him die." ”
Li Zhan wiped his mother's tears and said, "Mother!" and "wow", spitting out blood......
