The night was dark, and the crisp ringing of bells echoed on Xianyang Avenue.

Between the rolling wheels, two people are sitting in a wide and comfortable car.

"How do you feel today, all the ministers are full of praise for you."

Zhao Tuo looked at Han Xin, whose face was flushed, and there was still wine spitting between his mouth and nose.

Han Xin did not have a mansion in Xianyang, and he was a disciple of Zhao Tuo, so he naturally followed him to the Hou Mansion.

However, this is only temporary, Han Xin's title has reached the right long, and the lord can no longer live in Zhao Tuo's mansion, which will be a taboo and leave people with a handle, probably after settling down for a certain time, Han Xin will set up another mansion.

Hearing Zhao Tuo's question, Han Xin shook his head and dispelled a little bit of alcohol: "The other generation praises me, maybe there is a reason for my Han Xin's meritorious service, but more importantly, he still values the relationship between me and the prince, and intends to get close to the prince through me, which is not a good thing." ”

"Oh, you can see it clearly."

Zhao Tuo was slightly surprised.

He thought that Han Xin would be toasted and touted by the ministers in turn tonight, and he must be proud in his heart, but he didn't expect Han Xin to understand it very well in his heart.

Han Xin said: "With the prince's meritorious work in front, Han Xin's small merit, how can he be proud and complacent." ”

Zhao Tuo smiled dumbly.

He understood that Han Xin regarded himself as a benchmark and compared himself to himself in order to suppress his pride.

Just like he, Zhao Tuo, put General Li in his heart back then, and always be vigilant and not be complacent.

After laughing, Zhao Tuo joked again: "You are not young anymore, I see that Prime Minister Wang Cheng and Doctor Yu Shi all fancy you tonight, there should be a good girl in their clan, you may be able to think about it." ”

"I know."

Han Xin answered, but his tone was obviously not very concerned.

While the two were talking, the carriage had stopped.

The emperor outside the car said: "Junhou, the Hou Mansion has arrived." ”

After Zhao Tuo got out of the car, he saw that the door of the house was wide open, and the lights were colorful, which looked particularly gorgeous and bright in this night.

"Welcome back to the town."

The servants and maids in the palace stood on both sides of the gate and greeted each other respectfully.

Zhao Tuo bowed his head, his eyes skimmed over these greeting subordinates, and at a glance he saw three figures standing in front of the door.

Under the shadow of the lamp, the beautiful woman was plump and soft, looking at herself closely.

On either side of her, there was a teenager and a little girl of sixteen or seven years old.

"Father!"

Zhao Che pulled his sister forward and saluted respectfully.

"Father."

Zhao Yun also shouted, just looking at Zhao Tuo's appearance, he still looked a little curious and unfamiliar.

Zhao Tuo was in a trance.

When he left home, Zhao Che was only five years old, Zhao Yun was more than one year old, and almost five years had passed in the blink of an eye, and the two children had changed greatly.

"Yes, grown up."

Zhao Tuo smiled and hugged the two children, and took the gifts he brought back from Baiyue from his entourage, and carefully carved ornaments and toys with Yue style from ivory and rhino horn.

The two small gifts immediately pulled into the relationship between the father and the children, Zhao Tuo patted their faces and walked towards his wife, who had been waiting for him.

Han Xin walked up and smiled at Zhao Che: "Che'er has grown so big in a flash, do you remember me?" ”

Zhao Che glanced at him, and suddenly laughed: "Why don't you remember, soldiers are not tired of cheating, I knocked you on the head." ”

A smile instantly froze on Han Shin's face.

He rolled his eyes and looked at the little girl next to him.

"This is Yun'er, right? I've hugged you before. ”

Just when Han Shin was jokingly talking to the two children.

Zhao Tuo had already walked in front of Yingyin Yan.

Yiren's beautiful eyes are like water, full of tenderness.

"Coming back?"

"I'm back."

Just two sentences, one question and one answer.

It's not that there is nothing to say, but this is not the place to speak.

A thousand words, enthusiasm like fire, only in the room couch can we talk to the end.

An hour later.

On the couch in the house, the two hugged each other and enjoyed the most rare time in several years.

Suddenly, Ying Yinyan thought of something, propped herself up, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, and sneered at Zhao Tuo: "What a general, the Marquis of Zhenguo, and he used the trick of pretending to be sick again, do you know that the news scared me, and I didn't sleep for several months." ”

Zhao Tuo hurriedly shouted: "I'm really sick, how can I pretend." ”

Ying Yin Yan said in disbelief: "As far as you behaved just now, what does it look like you're sick?" ”

Zhao Tuo was not in a hurry, and pointed to his heart with an innocent face: "It's true, I'm sick here." ”

Ying Yin snorted: "What disease?" Secret trouble? ”

Zhao Tuo bowed his head: "It is indeed a heart disease, the name of the disease is lovesickness, and only one person in the world can cure me of this disease." ”

"Nonsense, you say something shameful again."

Yingyin's cheeks flew red, and she was already biting her lips, and her eyes were moist.

Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "The amount of medicine just now is less, and it is not enough to solve the disease." Ben Hou is going to take the medicine. ”

As he spoke, he was already a pervert pounced and pressed up.

……

"Zhao Tuo has become my trouble."

In the night, in a mansion in Xianyang City, Li You was wearing a wide robe and sitting cross-legged, in a posture of vomiting.

It's just that his heart has never been able to calm down, and his mind keeps flashing all kinds of scenes during the day today.

Triumphant and vibrating the brigade, the crowd cheered, the prince welcomed him, and the king met at the head of the city.

Meritorious service, feudal town.

This kind of glory is something that he Li You has always wanted to get since he joined Lang Wei.

It's a pity that the world makes people, nearly ten years of hard work, battlefield battles, and in the end, Li You only got the name of a defeated general, a broken body.

"My life is amazing."

In the past few years of practice, Li You has seen that his natural fate is not good, and he has lost the mentality of complaining about the heavens and others in the past, and has learned to accept it, and even took the initiative to study.

He even studied classics such as "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" with a calm mind, and combined with the cultivation of immortals to deduce and study the evolution of life, which was quite rewarding.

He had already let go of the past.

But the return of today's general Zhao Tuo made Li You's originally calm heart ripple again.

He left the mansion, out of which he had not been out for a long time, and watched silently among the ten thousand people as the young man enjoyed the glory he could only hope for in his dreams.

Li You's heart was upset.

When the heart is in turmoil, it can no longer be still.

Thinking of the past, wars, princesses, Li You thought of all the intersections between him and Zhao Tuo.

"If I don't solve it, I'll be trapped in a heart disease forever."

Li You gritted his teeth, got up and walked to the front of the desk, wrote a letter of worship with a good hand, and called his subordinates.

"Early tomorrow morning, send this message to the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion,"

……

On the second day of his triumphant return, Zhao Tuo had a rare sleep.

It wasn't until the sun was rising and the light shone through the window that he woke up.

His body is still sore, but Zhao Tuo is refreshed, and all the desires he has accumulated in Baiyue over the years are vented, which really makes him very comfortable.

"My knighthood has reached its highest level, and even if there are other wars, it will not be possible for me to go again. From now on, you can enjoy the good days of your wife and children in Xianyang. ”

Zhao Tuo stretched his waist, and saw that there was no one beside him, it seemed that Yingyin Yan had already gotten up and did not disturb him.

"It was a hard time for her last night."

Zhao Tuo smiled and got up to get dressed.

The emperor may have taken pity on him for his hard work all the way, and wanted him to rest for two days, and set the time of the great court meeting for the day after tomorrow.

And Zhao Tuo won the victory, he has not yet held a position in the court, and he basically has nothing to do in the past two days, and he is ready to spend all his time with his wife and children, and enjoy the joy of husband and wife and family love.

The ministers of the DPRK and China also knew the truth of this, and no one invited and disturbed them at this time, which made Zhao Tuo breathe a sigh of relief.

But he had been waiting in his heart for the emperor's summons.

"Will you edict me to enter the palace today?"

Zhao Tuo's expectation did not get a response from the emperor, but waited for a greeting post that surprised him.

At that time, Zhao Tuo was playing with Yingyin Yan and a pair of children by the pond in Fuzhong.

When he heard that the subordinate reported that Li You, the head of the right house, sent someone to send a post, Zhao Tuo had not answered, and Yingyin Yan had already raised her eyebrows.

"Li You? Don't want to see him, but refuse him. ”

Zhao Tuo smiled, took the greeting post handed over by the next person, and opened it to see.

Although this Brother Li is a little unlucky, he is still a good person.

Yingyin Yan said unhappily: "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that their beloved had returned to Xianyang for the first time and needed to rest for two days, but they didn't come to disturb him, only Li You visited at this time, which was really rude." And this person is a strange fate, and even his father was injured by him. It is better not to see him than a beloved, in case he ......"

"Brother Li is leaving."

Zhao Tuo sighed softly: "He said that he wanted to pursue the immortal path, and wanted to come and say goodbye to me, return to the mountains, and never be born again, and hope that I can help him cut off his worldly thoughts." ”

"Huh? He's leaving? ”

Yingyin Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily: "That's great, he lives in Xianyang, and when Che'er and I go out, we don't dare to walk through the street where his mansion is located, so we can only take a detour." As soon as Li You leaves, there will be no need to make a detour in the future. ”

Zhao Tuo's face was full of astonishment.

Only then did I know that the house where Li You lived had become a forbidden place in Xianyang City.

It is said that the people who walk from there either cut vegetables and cut their hands, or they fall and stumble while walking, or the husband and wife quarrel non-stop, and the children cry at night, and all kinds of rumors become more and more fierce and evil.

Even the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government did not dare to pass by, and within a mile of Li You's mansion, there was an empty house and no one lived in it.

It stands to reason that such a situation has had an extremely bad impact on Xianyang City, and the best way is to let Li You move to other places.

But in addition to being the eldest son of Prime Minister Li Si, Li You was also a great contributor to Peng Cheng's rescue, but he used his shoulder to block the assassin for the emperor at a critical moment (there are rumors among the people that the assassin couldn't hit the emperor's car, but it was only after Li You's shoulder rebounded that he hit the emperor's car), in this case, no one dared to mention this matter.

As for the emperor, since Peng Cheng returned to reward Li You, he no longer talked about this person, which was regarded as a taboo.

The emperor is like this, and so are the ministers.

Who would dare to mention it?

Who dares to provoke?

It's better to take a detour.

Li You has become a taboo existence in Great Qin.

From the prince, princess, and hundreds of officials and ministers, to the common people and the slaves, all of them did not dare to pass by the Li Mansion.

Hearing Yingyin Yan's eloquent talk about Li You's horror, Zhao Tuo only felt funny.

If your husband and wife quarrel, the child's crying at night can also be blamed on Li You, is it also Li You's problem to have a nightmare at night?

"Brother Li wants to leave the mortal world and wants to see me for the last time, how can I refuse this matter."

Zhao Tuo shook his head.

Compared with Li You's fate, he paid more attention to Li You's cultivation of immortals.

"The cultivation of immortals was drummed up by me in advance, and under the fanning of Lu Sheng and Xu Shi, it seems that it has swept the whole country, and it can no longer be allowed to grow savagely. I'll take a look and then figure out how to constrain it. ”

Zhao Tuo comforted Yingyin Yan and agreed to Li You's visit.

It was afternoon

Outside the Zhenguo Mansion, a carriage stopped.

Li You got out of the car and saw the spacious and luxurious mansion in front of him, especially the huge word "martial arts" on the plaque, and his eyes flashed with complexity.

Now it is still martial arts, and in a few days, when the plaque of the Marquis of Zhenguo is completed, this mansion will look more noble and majestic.

"These are all things that Zhao Tuo deserves."

Li You took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mood, strode forward, and made a bow.

"Brother Li is here, please come in!"

Contrary to Li You's expectations, hearing his arrival, Zhao Tuo actually came out to greet him in person, especially his affectionate tone, which made Li You feel a little trance.

"I took the liberty to come here and disturb the Marquis of Zhenguo, and I ask the Marquis of Zhenguo to forgive me."

Li You bowed.

Zhao Tuo noticed that one of his shoulders was sunken and his arms were hanging down weakly.

I think that is the wound left by the battle of Pengcheng at the beginning.

Zhao Tuo sighed: "What Brother Li said, in the past, when I first entered the palace, Brother Li treated me well, and I have always kept this in my heart." ”

What he said was the truth, if he hadn't been a Lang official under Li You back then, how could it be so easy to get on the line with Yingyinyan.

If you change to someone else, you may not be so easy to fool as Li You, maybe you will meet someone who is careful, and report it to the top after finding out, and Zhao Tuo will be finished.

Zhao Tuo invited Li You into the mansion and asked people to serve melons and fruit cakes, and the two said some of the previous words.

But in fact, the two are not friends, their intersection is actually just that time in the palace, and it is just a general friendship, and after leaving the palace, they become competitors, where can they talk about friendship.

You can't talk about work, you can't talk about women, you can't talk about war.

Even the matter of cultivating immortals, Zhao Tuo is not very easy to mention, before Li You came, he inquired, and knew that Li You was cultivating immortals in order to change his life, and when he mentioned this matter, it was inevitable to talk about "counting strange".

Li You was so miserable that Zhao Tuo was reluctant to rub salt on his wounds.

This can't be said, that can't be said, after a few words, the two big men successfully cooled down.

But soon, Zhao Tuo found that Li You's eyes had been staring at his face, and his gaze was very strange.

That's rude.

Zhao Tuo frowned and said, "Brother Li? ”

Li You was taken aback, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "It's me who is at a loss, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that Brother Li is going to return to the mountains and forests to cultivate, I don't know where he is going?" ”

Li You groaned slightly, and said softly: "What is the end of the south? There is a plum. The gentleman stops, and the fox in brocade clothes. In the past, I longed for the mountain of Zhongnan, and in the future, I should cultivate there. ”

Zhao Tuo nodded silently.

The scene was once again awkward.

Fortunately, Li You's goal seemed to have been achieved, and he didn't make any more requests, so he got up and left.

After Zhao Tuo sent Li You out of the house, he felt a little strange.

Is this Li really just to see himself?

The answer is exactly.

When Li You got into the carriage, Zhao Tuo's face resurfaced in front of his eyes.

"I see, I see, his fate is special. The saying of changing my life against the sky is not a lie, if I continue to study, maybe I can really change my life in the future. ”

Li You muttered to himself.

After several years of cultivation, he has not cultivated any mana and aura, but under the painstaking study, he has made considerable progress in terms of life and face.

He came to see Zhao Tuo just to see what this person's life was like.

How can Zhao Tuo have such a brilliant life, and can get what Li You wants but can't get.

Now, Li You has the answer.

Zhao Tuo will no longer bother him.

The carriage rolled and headed for the outside of Xianyang City.

Li You's mother passed away years ago.

Li Si, the left prime minister who is his father, has already refused his visit.

The hypocritical smile of his younger brother when he met him flashed in Li You's mind, leaving no trace behind.

From then on, Li Youjiang truly cut off all worldliness and devoted himself to cultivating the way of life.

Zhongnan Mountain is his final destination.

The ending of Li You and Zhang Liang will echo in the last chapter of "Two Thousand Years Later".

That's it for tonight.,The next plot point is the Emperor Collapse.。
