But then again, Brother Xiao is really willing to let me go!
You even asked me to take on such a dangerous mission...
It's a shame that I always treat you as my big brother!
But what makes Lin Qi the most upset is that he doesn't complain about Xiao Chen at all, and naturally he doesn't hate him. It is said that he is sending me to the pit of fire, but he still treats him as his biological brother...
Damn, everyone says I'm smart, but it turns out I'm a fool.
Xiao Chen didn't see him off when he came, but when he walked out of the camp and turned around inadvertently, he saw Xiao Chen standing behind and looking at him quietly, with concern and worry in his eyes, but he looked the same as him. When touched, he turned around and walked away...
In fact, Brother Xiao treated him very well. He was quite polite at first, but later he started to beat and scold him.
And he is also a very interesting person. He does not hit or scold outsiders, but only beats and scolds those close to him, such as Xiao Ye, Ouyang Yunyi...
In fact, these two men have been in danger more than once. Since the counterattack at Wolong Pass, these two have been at the forefront!
It's certainly dangerous to come to Baisha City by yourself, but isn't it even more dangerous for the two brothers to charge into battle?
The reason why Brother Xiao sent himself to carry out this dangerous task in public was probably to temper himself, or to give himself a chance to make meritorious deeds.
Because Xiao Ye Yunyi can charge into battle. He is a weak scholar. In Lin Feixiong's words, he has no strength to tie a chicken with his hands and no bones to carry firewood on his shoulders. If he only serves as a small staff officer in the Chinese army, he really can't talk about much. credit. Even if Brother Xiao strongly recommends it, it is not easy to write in the credit book...
In fact, Brother Xiao originally wanted him to pass the Jinshi examination, but he refused because he just wanted to follow him. Brother Xiao and the heroes of Yanyun County are the brave ones!
Being able to work with them, no matter what we do together, I will have no regrets in this life!
But when he revealed this wish, Brother Xiao refused again, not knowing what he meant? Do you really treat me like a child or think I'm not smart enough?
And he is letting himself do this now, obviously so that he can gain fame after the war. In the final analysis, it is still Da Zhou's fame...
Brother Xiao, don’t you know that in my heart, Da Zhou’s fame is like dirt?
What happened to my father has already made me feel despair, and I no longer want to contribute to Dazhou...
When you are lucky enough to survive this time, you must find time to have a good chat with Brother Xiao. If you don't let me follow you, you must give me a convincing reason!
Otherwise...it seems like there's nothing I can do about it?
While he was thinking wildly, a young man suddenly came in from the outside. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he had handsome features, his face was extremely pale, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time.
Without waiting for Lin Qi to ask questions, he took the initiative to introduce himself, "Mr. Lin, I am Duan Yu. I heard that you want to see me?"
But it turned out that this person was Duan Fengnian's youngest son Duan Yu.
"It turns out to be Mr. Duan, whom I have admired for a long time." Lin Qi said hurriedly, and the two of them made a long bow facing each other, "Sir, please sit down... Haha, in fact, you are the master. By saying this, I am turning against the guest."
"I just live here, but I'm not the master." Duan Yu said, "Young master Lin, there's no need to be polite. If you have anything to say, please just say it... But if it's a major military or national matter, there's no need to say it. I He doesn’t understand anything.”
"Haha, did Xu Wenchang and Zhang Yu tell you?" Lin Qi said with a smile.
"Well, they say you are a lobbyist sent by Li Qiu and Xiao Chen, so no matter what you say about us two, don't listen." Duan Yu said.
"Then why are you still here?" Lin Qi asked.
"Because you are here to pay homage to your father. As a son, I naturally have to return the favor. And my father also agreed to your meeting with me, right?" Duan Yu said, "That's why I came to see you."
"Oh...I see, then let's not talk about anything else, but Mr. Duan, what are your plans for the future?" Lin Qi said.
"Haha, what else can you plan to do now?" Duan Yu smiled bitterly.
"Do you dare to come with me?" Lin Qi asked abruptly.
"Then what's there to be afraid of? I'm afraid Mr. Lin doesn't mean this well?" Duan Yu said, "I might die if I go with you, but if I stay here, I will die... So I dare to dare, but I can't. Do you want me to abandon my father?" If the king doesn't care, how can I make a living by myself? I have no future, and I can't do such a thing."
"Everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather." Lin Qi said, "As long as you are willing to go out, you can leave a bloodline for your Duan family. Why endure the humiliation and bear the burden?"
"Every hundred years of life is bound to die, and the spring and Autumn years are also bound to change. How many people in history have endless deprivation of descendants? Most of them are like grass and trees, but they are no more than morning dew. They are always changed by the sea, things change and people change." Duan Yu said.
"Oh, Mr. Duan is so young, why is he so detached?" Lin Qi was surprised when he heard this.
"If Mr. Lin and I change places, we have to detach ourselves." Duan Yu said.
"If Mr. Duan really thinks so, then I have nothing to say." Lin Qi shook his head and sighed.
"Since I have nothing to say, it's better to have a drink." Duan Yu said, "A drink will solve a thousand worries!"
After ordering someone to put the wine on the table, the two of them drank in silence, facing each other.
"Mr. Duan, what kind of treasure are you wearing?" Lin Qi asked casually when he saw a small ivory ball tied around his waist.
"Oh, this is an ivory ball." Duan Yu casually untied it and handed it to Lin Qi.
"Oh, it turns out this is not a ball. Why is there another layer inside... Huh? There's more than one layer, one, two, three... Damn it, this must have seven or eight layers, and it can still rotate, my god Oh my god, how did you do this?”
Lin Qi took it over and played with it twice, his eyes widened.
"Haha, this thing is also called a 'concentric ball'. There are rings within rings, layer after layer, but they all have the same center of the circle, hence the name. Because it requires fine carving, it is also called a 'ghost ball'. ', that means uncanny craftsmanship." Duan Yu said.
"It's really amazing!" Lin Qi exclaimed, "It doesn't feel like something that should exist in the world. If it wasn't a miraculous craftsmanship, who could do this?"
That's not as exaggerated as Mr. Lin said. Duan Yu said, "I carved this casually when I had nothing to do. If Mr. Lin likes it, I will give it to you." "
"Ah?" Lin Qi was shocked when he heard this, "Is this your handiwork, Mr. Duan? No way, I don't believe it!"
"This is just a toy, why should I lie to you?" Duan Yu said, "It's just that it takes a lot of work. I worked day and night and spent half a year carving out the nine layers. It was really too small inside. , I couldn’t see clearly, and my eyes hurt at the time, so I gave up.”
"Did you really carve this with your own hands?" Lin Qi was really shocked. "Oh, Mr. Duan, your hands are so miraculous! My admiration for you is like a torrential river, continuous and endless. The Yellow River is flooding out of control..."
