Liu Mingzhi sat down again, and when he drank the delicious tea, he suddenly felt a little bitter.
In just a few years, how many things have happened in the Liu family that I don't know about, and how many things are hidden from me.
First, he accidentally learned that his aunt Liu Ying's behavior was "dissolute". The extremely evil aunt actually had three thousand Shadow Killing Guards organized under her command, all first-class masters of the eighth grade or above.
There is also the Wu Meng, a powerful force in the world that has slowly been formed by the young girl Liu Xuan's wanderings in the world. I also accidentally learned about the Wu League from my mentor, Mr. Wen Renzheng, and I had not heard any rumors about it before.
After the incident between my aunt Liu Ying and my younger sister Liu Xuan, my second brother Liu Mingli, who I had always thought would help the old man take care of the family business and prepare to inherit the Liu family's legacy, suddenly joined the army.
Is it because I have been busy with political affairs and neglected the various things happening at home, or are they deliberately hiding it from me.
If he hadn't accidentally seen the calluses on his second brother's finger joints that only bowstrings can wear, he would not have known that just a year ago, his own brother had also joined the army.
In this family, what else do you know and what don’t you know?
It seems that everyone has their own secret, and only he lives in confusion.
Liu Mingli looked anxiously at his elder brother's complex and lonely expression as he tasted tea: "Brother, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but my joining the army was too sudden.
Since you have been away from home for many years, I have no chance to talk to you.
After joining the army, I was afraid that the general would take special care of me because of your name and because I am your brother, so I never told my true identity.
Brother, I really didn’t want to hide it from you on purpose. "
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Liu Mingli's slightly uneasy look, smiled bitterly and drank the tea in one gulp.
This time, before Liu Mingli could take action, Liu Xuan very obediently picked up the teapot and poured the tea for her eldest brother. Then she sat aside in silence, fully demonstrating her elegant posture as a lady.
"Ming Li!"
"Hey! Brother, tell me!"
"You will gain fame and wealth immediately. Since you have chosen the path you want to take, it's too late for me to say anything. I have nothing to say, let alone teach you anything.
Everyone has their own choice. Brother is not a bossy person and can understand you.
But Big Brother doesn’t want you to hide anything from Big Brother.
It is not uncommon for the children of wealthy families to turn against each other in order to compete for the family property. You don't need to tell me much about it, you know it.
In our Liu family, the old man only has one daughter, Xuan'er, but he has three sons.
Me, you, Mingjie.
The eldest brother has walked his own path and has never thought about competing with you and Mingjie.
I am also very happy. I am happy that we brothers can still see each other well after we start a family.
He did not become enemies because he coveted the old man's property when he grew up. This is something that many wealthy and royal families would not envy.
I am your eldest brother, you are my brother, and we have the same blood.
As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. My eldest brother is actually quite afraid that one day the old man is gone and we three brothers will fight for a piece of family property like other children from famous families.
The eldest brother is really happy to see this situation today.
Although eldest brother can no longer lead you to the Misty Pavilion like before, the brotherhood between us has never changed for a moment.
I ask the world, is there anything more fortunate than this?
Isn't it? "
Liu Mingli nodded solemnly: "What the elder brother said is true, and the younger one must keep it in mind.
Brother, I really never thought about hiding anything from you.
The old man's property is indeed very big. It is so big that everyone calls him the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. It is so big that he is as rich as anyone in the country.
However, you don't care about the old man's family fortune, and I have never cared about the old man's family fortune.
Maybe I’m used to being with you since I was a child. I, Liu Mingli, like my elder brother, Liu Mingzhi, am also content with just living my own life.
You have so many sisters-in-law, and your life is full of happiness.
The younger brothers include Lei'er and Xin'er Qin'er, who are happily reunited on the same day.
However, it was the old man's wish for me to join the army. Although I have grown up, started a family and had children of my own, the old man is still an old man. How dare I not listen to his words?
From the initial reluctance, I gradually fell in love with the military career.
Things are unpredictable, who can say for sure? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Mingli's downcast expression with a strange expression: "I know Song Lei and An Xin. Who is Qin'er you just mentioned? Xin Na's concubine?"
Liu Mingli's face was startled, he nodded and shook his head: "Plain wife, Yuan Qin. People from Huangzhou, Ganzhou Prefecture in northern Xinjiang, without her younger brother, this national war would almost have to be settled in Huangzhou.
When the Turks attacked Yunzhou, my younger brother led his brothers to help Yunzhou relieve the pressure, leading the eight thousand cavalry of the Turks' Dadalu tribe to detour towards Huangzhou... .
This is probably what happened. I have informed Leier and my parents about this matter, and they have no objections. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Mingli with an incomprehensible expression: "Forget it, widowed woman, as long as you can live a happy life, my eldest brother will not bother to ask about these things!
Just treat others well. The grace of saving lives is greater than God, and there is no way to repay it.
What's more, although she is a widow, according to what you said, she is also a virtuous and virtuous woman, so there is no need to treat her differently. "
"Don't worry, brother, if I'm ruthless to her, there are no less than a hundred ways to repay her based on our family background. Why use this method to repay her!"
"As long as you understand, will I go back home with you?"
"I'm back. My little brother is saying that when Qin'er and Lei'er are still interested in chatting, he will take her to meet you and your sisters-in-law!"
"If you're interested, when you come back with Xuan'er, the old man and mother will definitely prepare a banquet to wash away the dust. We'll just meet you at the banquet later."
"That's what the elder brother said!"
"You are a bastard too. You are in the army, and when the three armies are encircling you, you don't even bother to go to the Chinese army's tent to say hello to your eldest brother.
You are charging forward, and your eldest brother is sitting in the central army's tent. If you don't intend to meet, the chance of meeting a million soldiers is extremely slim! "
"Hey, big brother, with your identity and my identity, will it be good for you if we two brothers recognize each other in the military? Is it really good for you?
General Dongfang Ming seemed to know my identity and wanted to take care of my safety, but I later declined.
Seeing that I had no intention of revealing my identity, he finally had no choice but to let it go.
Although I didn't get to know my eldest brother in the military, at least my younger brother was happy.
Because I earned my official position through my own hard work, not because of your blessing and care, big brother.
As you just said, brother, everyone has their own path to take.
Isn't it? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Mingli's stern look, raised his hand and patted the back of Liu Mingli's head: "You brat, I guess you are only twenty-two this year, why are you pretending to be so scheming like your elder brother?
Not to mention that you are just a fifth-rank general, a third-rank general, and a second-rank general are nothing to Big Brother.
By the way, did you just say that you joined the army because of the old man’s intention? "
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.
"Um!"
Liu Mingzhi put down his teacup with a complicated expression and walked towards the hall door. He stopped and looked at the pines, bamboos and cypresses outside the hall with his hands behind his back and sighed softly.
“It is a supreme honor to have a double tiger general and spread the news.
However, behind the glory is also boundless murderous intention. The Liu family is already a famous wealthy family. If it rises to become a famous family again, I am afraid some people will not want to see it! . "
"Brother, there is nothing to worry about. The rise of our Liu family is in line with the general trend. With His Majesty's favor in you, some clowns are nothing to be afraid of.
I understand your position. Some things are inconvenient to deal with.
But it is convenient for you to deal with things that are not convenient for you.
If you have any difficult matters, just leave it to my little brother. I will lead three thousand Feiyunqi to help you overcome any difficulties and obstacles. "
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes for a moment and turned to look at Liu Mingli.
"Oh, is it so?"
"Of course, as long as the elder brother speaks, the younger brother will not dare to disobey."
"Haha, you are not old, but your tone is not young.
As a brother, I can lead an army of hundreds of thousands of warriors and two hundred thousand men, but I don’t have such a big tone as you. "
"Brother, I...I am not arrogant..."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and pressed Liu Mingli's shoulder: "You brat, you can't solve any problem by just beating and killing.
From ancient times to the present, there is only one word that can solve all troubles. "
"Ah? What word?"
"Position!
You are young after all, and you still have a long way to go.
When you get to my position, you will understand that fighting and killing is completely stupid.
Big brother’s crisis is not what I have, but the weight represented by these three words Liu Mingzhi, do you understand?
Big brother's name is too strong.
It's so heavy that even though just three words can't make the wind catch the wind or rain the rain, it's enough to start a bloody storm! "
