Chapter 148: Mediation

Liu Chuanzhi's meaning, of course, was not ruthless, he wanted to force Ba Niu to bow to Li Yuming. Although the fault is not in Ba Niu, as a son, he must lower his status and not take the position of a courtier to treat a king. Of course, Ba Niu knew what he meant, but he was also struggling. Now that he has returned to the Akiyama Peninsula, whether to continue to return to Sansen Island after the matter is over, or to leave it alone is indeed a relatively difficult question to solve.

The current situation on the Akiyama Peninsula is not optimistic. Due to the previous purge operation, many people have restless thoughts, although they have not yet taken action, but the wait-and-see attitude is still very obvious. Take Yao Jinbo's funeral this time as an example, Li Yuming held a state funeral for him, but not many people came, the leaders of the Ninth Army, except for Ba Niu and Liu Chuanzhi, no one else came, and Liu Nanshan did not come.

Of course, Ba Niu knew what that meant, and the only thing he was thinking about now was what would happen if he stayed, whether to be a courtier or a man who gave orders. If it is as a courtier, then there is not much point in staying. He may be able to delay the decline of the Akiyama Peninsula, but the final outcome cannot be changed. If he can call the shots, Li Yuming will have to retreat into the background, whether Li Yuming himself wants it or not, that's another matter.

Since the last extremely unpleasant separation, he tried to avoid direct contact with his father, and this time, he only had a meeting as a courtier, and the private communication did not happen. Even his mother, who only paid a visit out of politeness, did not even attend the family dinner. Therefore, it is almost impossible for him to bow his head now and do something that he is extremely unwilling to do. The only one who could let him do it was Liu Yiyi, but this time, she uncharacteristically stood on the side of Ba Niu, and she only entered the palace once, and she did not participate in the family banquet. For this kind of abnormal behavior, Ba Niu is naturally very curious, but he knows that Liu Yiyi's intelligence far exceeds him, and she is likely to be premeditated and deliberately to let him fall into the trap, so in the first few days, he tried his best to endure not to think about these things, because as long as he thought about it, he would inevitably ask, and as long as he asked, he might fall into her trap. But he overestimated his curiosity about the unknown, thinking that patience could slowly fade the desire to know, but in fact, the more you suppress this desire, the stronger it will grow. Finally, on this day, he decided not to bear it anymore, so he pretended to be idle and happened to pass by and came to Liu Yiyi's house.

"Your room is very exquisitely furnished", this embarrassing beginning made Liu Yiyi immediately understand that his intentions were very clear, so he smiled faintly, but ignored him. Seeing that she didn't respond, Ba Niu had to cough dryly, sit in a chair, and look at him. Just as he didn't know how to start again, it happened that the girls came in and poured him tea. After everyone had withdrawn, his nerves relaxed, but in order to be able to ask what he wanted to ask without leaving a trace, he still chose a topic that had nothing to do with the question.

"You embroidered it, but let's wait for it"? He saw that Liu Yi was looking at the needle and thread in his hand, and he didn't mean to look at him, so he had to talk to him. Liu Yiyi was secretly amused in his heart, he wanted to embarrass him again, but he squinted at his very embarrassed appearance, and felt a little unbearable, so he excused himself and said: "Naturally it's his, is it still yours"?

When Ba Niu saw her talking, his heart immediately became much more relaxed. He stood up, sat down next to Liu Yiyi, and said with a salivating face: "I wish it was mine, but I don't know where it can be worn."

Liu Yiyi smiled and pricked him with a needle, and he immediately jumped up and shouted loudly: "Why are you so ruthless? Such a long needle will be pricked into other people's flesh? Look, it's all bleeding"!

He rolled up his sleeves and showed her the ground where she had been pierced, and there was blood there. Liu Yiyi smiled disapprerovingly: "I haven't seen you in the thousands of troops, and now I prick you with a needle, so it's amazing?" It can be seen that you are treated delicately, and your courage is weak, and if you are asked to lead thousands of troops and horses, I am afraid that you will not even dare to go into battle!"

Ba Niu is a very smart person in front of anyone, but when he came to Liu Yiyi, he was so stupid, he didn't see that this was her radical method, and when he heard him say this, he immediately shouted: "My courage will be weak?" Who burned Chu Han and broke Chu Feng? Who beat Yu Fengming to the water in the Watsons Plain? What about Sheng Shiyuan and Shi Qiuyu? What about Chu Yuxing? Will I be cowardly? If I am cowardly, then there will be no more guts in the whole world"!

Liu Yiyi snorted coldly in his nose, and continued to say tepidly: "That's all the old yellow calendar, what are you doing with it?" I'm talking about now, and now you, I'm afraid you don't even have the courage to do so!"

"How's it going? Now I'm not that me? Let me go into battle to kill the enemy, let me go to the Quartet, will I be afraid? You know, it's not that I don't dare to do this, it's that someone won't let me do it, it's not that I'm timid, it's that someone else's courage has never been greater"! It was the first time he had whined in this way, and the first time he had spoken so bluntly. Liu Yi was secretly happy in his heart when he saw him on the road, but the expression on his face did not change at all: "Your courage has always been very big, so who has been so bold that has been restricting you?"

Ba Niu almost blurted out, but fortunately, at this time, his mind turned, and he immediately changed his mind, just snorted coldly, and then turned his head away and did not make any answer.

As soon as Liu Yi saw him like this, he was amused again, so he said on his behalf: "The person you are talking about is nothing more than the current emperor, your biological father." Do you think that he put you in an idle position just to restrict you from conquering the Quartet and unifying the world, right?"

Ba Niu still didn't answer, but the expression on his face already made his point clear.

Liu Yiyi still said unhurriedly: "Of course your idea is not wrong, this may also be what my father is most afraid of." However, does this also mean that your approach is too radical and makes him feel the crisis"? Without waiting for Ba Niu to have any room to think, she continued: "You are very strong in everything, your ability is extraordinary, and most of the things you do are, in the eyes of an ordinary person, extremely risky. You did defeat Chu Han, but that kind of battle with a huge disparity in strength has an element of luck to some extent. You also defeated Yu Fengming, but in that battle, you were almost killed. You took Sheng Shiyuan in, and almost in a situation where you were bent on going your own way, you defeated Chu Yuxing in an extremely dangerous way. Father, can you understand the fright he has endured because of you? Have you thought about the risks we take?"

He never thought about these issues, and he never thought about the safety of his family. If he hadn't said it, he might never have thought about these issues. All he cared about was attacking the city and plundering the land, galloping across the field.

After being silent for a long time, he slowly sat down beside her, held her hand, and said extremely gently, "So, am I wrong?"

At this time, Liu Yiyi looked at him with warm eyes and said, "Of course you are not wrong, but you must also know that others are not wrong." Others don't have the talent and courage of you, but it's not their fault. If you really want to conquer the world, you must first solve the problems around you. If the people around you don't feel safe from you, how can you build a solid rear? Without a solid rear, how far do you dare to go"?

A word woke up the dreamer, he had never considered the problem of the deep-rooted ancient book, because his roots were his family, but he ignored that if the crown shook too violently, it would also damage the roots. This is especially true when the roots are still shallow.

"So, what do I do now"? He finally admitted his mistakes, which is also the most valuable thing about him, not only being able to accept other people's opinions, but also being able to admit his own mistakes, you know, this is not easy to do, especially for a person as smart as him.

"When I met my father alone, I thought there was nothing that two parties could not solve face to face."
