Li Chunfeng asked with a smile: "How long will it take for Brother Yunxiao's future?"
"Until I die."
"After all, I'm dead, so I can't control anything."
"That may take a long, long time. How can it be easily accomplished where human power is beyond the reach?"
Li Yunxiao said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether it is easy or not. Even if there are changes, they are just like tall buildings stacked on top of each other. They are only strong but not weak."
"Between me and Brother Yuan, after so many years of hard work, I'm actually quite curious as to why you treat us like this."
"The kindness of knowing others is one, teaching by words and deeds is two, brotherhood is three, and this is the fourth..."
[There is something you can do against the will of heaven, so I feel unwilling to do so! 】
"What's the fourth one?" Li Chunfeng couldn't help but ask, seeing Li Yunxiao being silent.
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and said: "I really can't make up the fourth one, hahahaha..."
Li Chunfeng laughed: "Okay, I know what Brother Yunxiao means. To be honest, the hexagram has changed and it is no longer the same as it was back then. Things after that are very vague to me, and no one knows what will happen in the end."
"But I hope this is good, so let me congratulate Brother Yunxiao in advance. I hope you have a chance to break our prediction. Come on, have a drink."
"please!"
"please!"
After the two had a drink, Li Chunfeng hugged the wine jar and murmured: "Brother Yunxiao, have you considered what you will do next after you have done these things recently?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's a big taboo to overshadow your master with great achievements. Your reputation among the people is almost greater than that of His Majesty. Aren't you afraid of being troubled by others?"
"Brother Li, don't worry. Li Zhi has been seen through by me a long time ago. It's okay. Besides, I don't have any rights except bad people in my hands. He will never attack me."
"Your Majesty will not, but what if it is the next His Majesty? Do you think he will respect you and understand you as much as Taizong or His Majesty?"
Li Yunxiao frowned slightly and said: "Everything I do is for the people, for the continuation of the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty. Is there any emperor who can't see it?"
"But not all emperors' personalities will be impressed by you."
"Then kill him. You can either do it yourself or find a puppet who will obey my orders. I don't know how to govern a country, but I am good at finding people."
Li Chunfeng was slightly startled, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Brother Yunxiao, if you do this, Brother Yuan will not agree to it."
Li Yunxiao took a deep breath, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at the lights of Chang'an.
"Yes, Brother Yuan only recognizes blood. I knew it when I first came to Datang. It's a pity... Brother Yuan may not be able to restrict me."
Having said this, Li Yunxiao looked at Li Chunfeng: "You two may be able to do it together, but you won't always restrict me, right?"
Li Chunfeng took a sip of wine, stepped forward and put his arms around Li Yunxiao's shoulders.
"Brother Yunxiao, you should understand me. Why do you have to use provocation to force me to submit?"
Li Yunxiao just smiled and said nothing.
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that Li Yunxiao was just hinting at something, but he was not sure whether the other party would actually do it. After all, he couldn't see through Li Yunxiao's way.
"Hahahaha..." Li Chunfeng suddenly smiled and patted Li Yunxiao on the shoulder.
"Huo Xie, I believe that Brother Yunxiao you will never do this. You promised Taizong to take good care of Datang and His Majesty."
"I did promise Taizong, and I can only promise to try not to get my hands stained with the blood of my tribe, because then I have no reason to preach to others."
Li Chunfeng's eyes narrowed slightly: "In your concept, who is considered a clansman?"
Li Yunxiao turned his head and looked at Li Chunfeng: "If I say he counts, he counts. If it doesn't count, it doesn't count!"
Li Chunfeng shook his head and loosened his arm around Li Yunxiao: "Brother Yunxiao, you have changed so quickly. Is it possible that you want to follow Brother Yuan's domineering path?"
"If so, where is the freedom you seek?"
Li Yunxiao shook his head: "I don't want to disturb Brother Yuan, and I don't want to make you sad, Brother Li, so I am using my own method to solve it now."
"Just like now, she Wu Zhao has become the queen and complied with the way of heaven, while I hide my son in everything and act tyrannically."
"As for freedom..."
"Oh, change always requires paying some price. I don't mind. I'm just worried that I run too fast and can't see the people or things I want to change when I look back."
"Brother Yunxiao, everything is destined. If you break it, you will also bear the consequences of changes in the future. I don't want to see you and Brother Yuan..."
"Stop talking, Brother Li, the moonlight is nice tonight. Come, have a drink with me."
Li Chunfeng and Li Yunxiao looked at each other in silence, with unpredictable thoughts hidden in each other's eyes.
The cool breeze blew by, and the bright moonlight was suddenly blocked by clouds. Coincidentally, Li Chunfeng was still under the moonlight, while Li Yunxiao was hidden in the shadows.
....
More than a month has passed and it is now autumn.
After Li Zhi regained his power from the initial power, he began to govern the country with benevolence, such as Changsun Wuji. Although the stalemate was true, the two did not seem to be enemies when they met during festivals.
And Li Zhi didn't want to kill his uncle.
Some people persuaded him to find an excuse to resign from the official post of Changsun Wuji, claiming that he should not be punished for his grievances and revenge, and that benevolence and righteousness should not be imposed on jackals.
How harsh was his restriction on Li Zhi when he first came to power? Then he would directly deprive him of it when he came back!
Now if we act like this, we will be bullied by others if we are good, and we will ride on horses if we are good.
Li Zhi said he was fine with this. He would be very upset if he had to fight with his relatives all day long.
Besides, in today's world, who else would dare to ride on him besides Wu Meiniang and Li Yunxiao?
Li Yunxiao didn't hear these words, otherwise he would definitely not be able to escape with this slap!
It's good to tell the truth, but it can't be so explicit!
And a piece of good news also came out at this time, that is, Wu Zhao was pregnant again.
Wu Zhao felt that there was a girl in her belly, but because her little daughter died young, she still wanted another one.
But Li Zhi thought it was a boy, so they summoned the imperial physician Liu Shenwei for diagnosis.
Liu Shenwei was Sun Simiao's beloved disciple. He had a profound knowledge of the truth and superb medical skills. He claimed that there was a boy in his belly.
Li Zhi laughed heartily immediately.
He also claimed that the reign name has just been changed to Xianqing. If he is born, he will be called [Li Xian]
And as Wu Zhao gradually gained power, and even behind the curtains, a confrontation in the dark was completely unfolded.
....
In the pavilion, Li Yunxiao was playing chess with himself. The three-colored chess pieces on the chessboard were intertwined with each other. There was always a trace of sadness between Li Yunxiao's eyebrows.
The chess pieces were like a game he had set up. The black and white twins checked and balanced each other. It was unclear which one was stronger and which one was weaker. His transparent chess piece had reached a dangerous road.
If you eat the black ones, the black ones will trigger the vitality, and the white ones will be swallowed, and vice versa.
Li Yunxiao rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but glance at the alchemy furnace not far away. His eyebrows were a bit cold, and there was a flash of anger.
"The destiny astrology never shows mercy to the weak, it is always the aura of the strong!"
"Royal power, friendship, benevolence and righteousness, the world... Who can tell clearly what the things we do are for. With the current situation, the hexagram has changed, so we can only go on. The strong will be strong, and the weak will perish. !”
Li Yunxiao suddenly felt two voices of his own ringing in his ears.
[Isn’t this why I traveled across time? 】
【Yeah? Is this really what I came here for? 】
[You are doing the right thing. If you stick to it, you can change things in three hundred or even three thousand years! 】
[No, if you do this, you may not know what will happen that will change because of you. Think about it, who of the people who have ruled the world with violence in the past have died easily? No matter how you make Brother Li feel, Brother Yuan will not understand you! 】
【Stick to it! 】
[No, they won’t understand you! 】
"That's enough! Get out!"
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the cliff. Seeing Li Yunxiao's panting eyes with murderous intent, he was so frightened that he knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yunxiao.
"Commander...I, I failed!"
Li Yunxiao slowly closed his eyes, but he didn't feel that any bad person was coming.
Sitting back on the edge of the chessboard, Li Yunxiao said calmly: "The reason."
"My subordinate was framed for being greedy. Now he can no longer work with His Majesty, but has been driven to another place to be the governor."
The visitor's name was Xue Yuanchao, who was also a bad person in Maple Star Pavilion.
Li Zhi was almost always accompanied by his family when he was riding horses and hunting since he was young, so he was quite taken care of.
Now, someone actually took advantage of him to do something outrageous while he was drunk, and he was really to blame.
"What did you commit?"
Xue Yuanchao looked embarrassed and said: "Fornication..."
boom!
The chess piece suddenly shattered between Li Yunxiao's two fingers. Xue Yuancao's throat rolled and his head pressed lower.
"Do you remember what I said when I asked you to join the bad guys?"
"Remember, my subordinates, if you are a bad person once, you will be a bad person forever!"
"Yes." Li Yunxiao nodded, then slowly stood up and came to him, looking down at him.
"I have placed you in Chang'an. How have you been living in Chang'an City these years?"
"I'm... living well."
"Is it acceptable?" Li Yunxiao said lightly: "Oh, I think the lush and colorful world of Chang'an City has made you lazy over the years!"
