Chapter 279: Li Chunfeng's Decline

【Lee's House】

Li Chunfeng walked in the spacious corridor of the Li Mansion with a solemn expression, his eyebrows were tightly locked, his feet were fast, and the empty sleeves of his broken arms were floating. Li Chunfeng's current angry appearance is far from the personable Confucian son on weekdays, and he seems to be holding back his anger, because he has just learned that after the Wind Helmet City was breached by Zheng Guo, King Wei immediately urgently summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss countermeasures, but the result of the discussion was: Wei Du actually wanted to give up the entire north!

Li Chunfeng couldn't believe that the high-level officials of Weidu were all in the water? His father, Li Chaoyang, was also an important minister who assisted King Wei, and he was going to see his father now and ask him face-to-face what kind of medicine the Manchu Dynasty had taken to come to such a ridiculous conclusion.

Li Chunfeng knew that his father had just retired from the court, and now he should be in Yangxin Hall, where is his study, and he will return to his study every time after the court meeting. But this time, Li Chunfeng came to Yangxintang and did not see his father, but saw his younger brother - Li Mufeng.

As soon as Li Chunfeng walked into the door of Yangxin Hall, he saw his younger brother sitting behind the desk, leaning his body comfortably on the solid wood chair, looking up at the roof of Yangxin Hall, and playing with two round white jade beads in his hands. When they were young, the Li brothers had a good relationship, but when they grew up, many things changed.

Li Chunfeng's gaze swept over the Yangxin Hall, and there was no one else in the huge study except Li Mufeng, so his gaze had to fall on Li Mufeng, and asked, "Mufeng." Where's my father?"

Li Mufeng didn't seem to hear Li Chunfeng's question, and still looked at it, two jade beads rolling back and forth in his palm.

Li Chunfeng's face was a little ugly, he tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart, and asked again: "Mu Feng, I'm talking to you, what about my father?"

This time, Li Mufeng finally couldn't ignore his brother anymore, and he sighed impatiently, as if Li Chunfeng had disturbed him. He still had his head tilted. Lengthened his voice: "I don't know, don't you see I'm busy? ”

The anger in Li Chunfeng's heart immediately soared, but in order to take into account even the false harmony between his brothers, he still endured his anger. Try to make your voice sound calm: "Mu Feng." I am your brother. You should look at me when I'm talking to you, that's the most basic etiquette!"

"Etiquette?" Li Mufeng seemed to have heard some joke. With a cold snort, he finally sat up straight, looked at Li Chunfeng with contempt, and said slowly. "Brother? Haha! It's ridiculous! I, Li Mufeng, only recognize strength, not brother! Now that you have a broken arm, what qualifications do you have to stand in front of me? Brother Chunfeng!"

Li Chunfeng's face turned cold, he couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of his dearest brother. Not long ago, when he set off for Li State, Li Mufeng also sent him out of Weidu all the way according to other things, which made him a great brother as an elder brother. But when he returned from a broken arm, everything changed. With the loss of an arm, Li Chunfeng's strength was greatly damaged, and he couldn't help but lose his qualification to inherit the patriarch, and his status in the Li family plummeted, and his most precious brother suddenly became another person - a despicable villain that Li Chunfeng did not dare to recognize!

Seeing that Li Chunfeng's handsome face was full of anger, Li Mufeng smiled coldly: "Brother Chunfeng, I said that my father is not here, please look elsewhere." As a young master, I am entangled in mundane things, so I won't accompany you, and I hope that Brother Chunfeng will forgive me. ”

Li Chunfeng stood in front of the door of the Yangxin Hall, looked at Li Mufeng's smug face, and was silent for a long time, and finally he didn't say anything, turned around silently, and left the Yangxin Hall. Li Chunfeng gave up looking for his father, because he knew very well in his heart that the reason why Li Mufeng was in Yangxintang was his father's will, and his father deliberately sent Li Mufeng to prevaricate himself. If his father doesn't want to see him, then he won't be able to see his father even if he searches the Li family.

In fact, Li Chunfeng was born in a famous family, he naturally knows how cruel the power struggle in a famous family is, and in order to ascend to the position of patriarch, it is common for brothers to kill each other. In fact, the loss of his father's support and status in the family are not the most painful things for Li Chunfeng, the most painful thing for him is that the younger brother he brought up single-handedly now regards himself as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. Li Mufeng's contemptuous and contemptuous eyes were like a knife stuck in Li Chunfeng's chest, which made Li Chunfeng feel painful.

Li Chunfeng left the health hall, physically and mentally exhausted, and wanted to go home to rest, but before he took two steps, a waiter from the Li family suddenly hurriedly walked over, stopped in front of Li Chunfeng, and said respectfully: "Young master." ”

Li Chunfeng glanced at the waiter a little tiredly: "What's the matter?"

Waiter: "Young master, there is a monk surnamed Xia outside the gate of the mansion who asks to see you. ”

"Surname Xia?!" Li Chunfeng was suddenly startled, "The other party's name is Xia Yu?"

Waiter: "Exactly. ”

At this moment, Xia Yu's visit was like a long drought and nectar to Li Chunfeng, and he immediately smiled and said excitedly: "Hurry! Hurry up, please, take him to my courtyard." ”

"Yes, sir. The waiter hurriedly withdrew.

After the waiter left, Li Chunfeng was still excited, and he couldn't extricate himself with joy: "Xia Yu is actually here, I have to go back quickly and tell Li Yu about this matter." But Li Chunfeng had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped. "No, I'm going to greet Xia Yu in person!"

The waiter came to the gate of the Li Mansion and led Xia Yu and Wang Jin into the Li Mansion, but as soon as he walked out, he ran into Li Chunfeng head-on. Seeing each other, Xia Yu and Li Chunfeng were very happy, and Xia Yu immediately introduced Wang Jin to Li Chunfeng: "Chunfeng, this is my good friend in Tai Academy, Wang Jin." ”

Wang Jin clenched his fists and said with a kind smile: "This is Li Chunfeng, I have heard of it for a long time." ”

Li Chunfeng also immediately returned the salute, but he only had one arm now.

After the greeting, Xia Yu immediately went straight to the point: "Chunfeng, I came this time mainly for the north. ”

In fact, Li Chunfeng also guessed the purpose of Xia Yu's coming to Weidu, and when he heard Xia Yu say this, he immediately looked solemn: "Come with me, this is not the place to talk." ”

Li Chunfeng took Xia Yu and Wang Jin to his courtyard, in the courtyard, Li Yu was sweeping the fallen leaves, she heard the sound of the door opening, and thought that Li Chunfeng was back, so she immediately looked up and smiled: "Chunfeng, you are back!"

Li Chunfeng happily opened the door, revealing Xia Yu behind the door: "Xiaoyu, look who is coming." ”

Seeing Xia Yu, Li Yu was taken aback: "Xia Yu!"

"It's been a long time. Xia Yu walked into the door and smiled at Li Yu.

Then, Li Chunfeng waved his sleeves: "Let's go, let's go into the house and talk about things." ”

The four of them entered the house, and Li Yu served tea to Xia Yu and Wang Jin, and Li Chunfeng told Xia Yu of King Wei's decision to give up the four northern cities. After Xia Yu heard this, he was not furious, but was silent for a long time, in fact, Xia Yu also more or less foresaw this result, but he never wanted to believe that as the people of the country, King Wei would really abandon them!

"Chunfeng, I need you to do me a favor, I want to see King Wei. Xia Yu looked at Li Chunfeng with an extremely stern expression.

"Do you want to change King Wei's decision?" asked Li Chunfeng.

"I'm here, so I'm going to give it a go. Xia Yu smiled confidently.

Then, Li Chunfeng suddenly sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "Xia Yu, if it was before, I could have helped you meet King Wei, but now, I don't have that ability." ”

Xia Yu was stunned: "Why? With the power of your Li family in Weidu, as the son of the Li family, it shouldn't be difficult for you to see King Wei." ”

Li Chunfeng smiled bitterly: "It's different now." However, although I don't have this ability anymore, I can introduce you to a person who has the ability to let you meet King Wei. ”

Xia Yu immediately asked eagerly, "Who is this person?" (to be continued......)
