Seeing this, Wei Li stood up and poured tea for several people one by one, and said to break the sudden heavy atmosphere, "I have received the news as soon as you guys arrived at the pier outside Beijing. After handing over the affairs at hand, I went to meet Uncle Duandao." , just waiting for you to come."
He looked up at a few people and half-jokingly said, "Wangque Tower is well-informed. Uncle Changdong didn't send you a letter to tell you that I have a residence in Dongshi? When you come to Changjing, instead of going to my place, come to the teahouse to drink tea first." Chatting?"
Su Wuxin said bluntly, "Hey, weren't you frightened by those rumors when we entered the city? Wei Li, did you really wipe out the whole family of some prince's house?"
Wei Li paused for a moment, tightened his fingers holding the teapot slightly, and subconsciously glanced at the girl with a dull expression, "Brothers and sisters, do you think I'm...too cruel?"
Sensing the young man's gaze on him, Tianbao tilted his head and said, "What do you want me to do? It's not me you're killing."
Wei Li, "..."
Everyone, "..."
They often can't talk when they want to.
Tianbao didn't realize that he was a disgrace to the scenery.
Don't encourage others to do good unless they have suffered.
Her and Wei Li's experiences were actually somewhat similar.
She will not show mercy when facing her enemies.
Wei Li did what he wanted to do. As for whether those people were innocent or not, Tianbao couldn't empathize with them.
She had no idea what sympathy was.
So far, her only principle in doing things is not to let her loved ones get hurt or sad.
If her family is gone, her rules and bottom line for acting will also be gone.
Tianbao tilted his head and thought for a while, unable to imagine what he would become by then.
Duandao looked at the boys who were speechless and choked. He shook his head with a smile and told the truth, "The youngest sons of the two royal families have been sent away. They will live as ordinary people in the future. But in the eyes of the world, they are already dead."
Su An was slightly surprised, "Sent away? Wei Li, aren't you afraid that those children will come back for revenge in the future?"
"If they have the ability, they will come. They will become kings and losers. I have never been afraid." Wei Li said calmly.
He's not afraid, but he just doesn't want to cause trouble.
He was originally going to eliminate the roots, but Uncle Broken Knife stopped him.
It's not a disaster for a child, don't let yourself become a person like Hong De. ——This is what Uncle Broken Blade said to him at that time.
Wei Li actually didn't care what kind of person he became.
But he does mind, if he is really that cruel, Aunt Su and Aunt Su will be disappointed in him if they find out about it in the future.
He didn't want the little warmth he had to disappear.
It's not worth it for anything.
In his absence, someone tapped him on the shoulder. It was Bai Yu, "I like this crazy look. I would like tea instead of wine. Come on, have a drink!"
"Junior brother, don't worry, if someone knocks you down in the future, senior brother will come to save you!" Su An winked and raised the teacup.
Su Wen followed closely, "It's vulgar to do something instead of doing something! Ah Li, if you are in trouble one day, senior brother will definitely help you. This is the way out! Come on, do it!"
Su Wu twirled his tea cup and rolled his eyes, "We are also adults of seventeen or eighteen years old. How boring is it to drink tea all the time? How about some wine to cheer us up?"
Someone around him slapped him on the table.
Broken Blade always looked at this scene with a smile, feeling a little pleased, satisfied, and proud.
Friendship is precious in the world, and he hopes these children can always be so sincere and know and cherish each other.
…
As night fell, Changjing Street was full of patrol guards, conducting detailed checks in the streets and alleys.
The night scene of Changjing, which used to be bustling and lively, has become extremely quiet at this moment.
Although the shops facing the street are still open and the lights are on, there are very few pedestrians walking back and forth.
In troubled times, people were afraid of being implicated, so they stayed at home after dark and did not dare to go out.
After coming out of the teahouse, Tianbao and his party did not go to the Wei Mansion, but to Duandao's temporary residence in Changjing.
It was the small courtyard in Minxiang where I stayed when I came back to Beijing. It was located in Dongshi, and was only separated from the Wei Mansion by a few criss-crossed alleyways.
The boys are so familiar with the place where they have lived before that they still remember which room they stayed in, so there is no need to bother arranging it at all.
"Uncle Broken Knife, what have you been doing in Changjing for so many years? What kind of business are you doing on the surface?" It was a rare reunion, and the boys couldn't sleep at night, so they went to the hall to chat with Uncle Broken Knife while sharpening it.
There is an oil lamp on the table in the main room, the light is like a bean, flickering in light and dark.
Duandao sat on the solid wood armchair next to the Eight Immortals table, reaching out to pat the melon seeds on his head one by one, with a slight smile on his lips.
The little bean sprouts back then have grown up, but in his eyes, they are still children.
"On the surface, I am engaged in spice trading, and my business is struggling to make ends meet. Privately, I have brought back my former subordinates who have been scattered throughout the years, waiting for the opportunity to rehabilitate my Yuan family. The road is long and difficult, so I will stay in Changjing. for so many years.”
Broken Blade smiled, trying to find evidence of vindication after more than ten years, the chance was slim.
Therefore, he tried his best to help Wei Li after he came back.
One day Wei Li will ascend to the top and use the dignity of an emperor to overturn the case for the Yuan family. At that time, he can also restore the Yuan family's innocence.
The Yuan family comes from a loyal family, and both his father and brother are upright men. He has been taught since he was a child to act in a manner worthy of God and not to be indifferent to others. Even today, he has never changed his original intention.
He hated the corruption of the court and the narrow-mindedness of the old kings. He even lived a decadent and miserable life because of it.
But he never hated the people of Dai Viet.
The Yuan family's grievances only seek to be cleared up.
If the new dynasty needs it, he will still wield his sword and mount his horse, bravely killing the enemy to protect his family and the people.
After withdrawing his thoughts and looking at the five worried faces in front of him, Broken Blade smiled softly and stroked their heads again.
"Things in Changjing will not calm down so quickly. Next is the critical moment for Wei Li to seize power. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you for a while. You should still be careful when acting in the capital. Wei Li is here in Vietnam, and you are in the country. There should be no danger in walking within the territory, but the wanted order from the Nine Kingdoms has not been revoked." He reminded the children, "The imperial city is so big that there are countless spies hiding there to prevent your whereabouts from being leaked and being plotted against."
Mentioning this matter, Tianbao remembered, "Uncle Broken Knife, where is this bastard?"
Broken knife, "???"
The fourth boy said, "Pfft hahaha! It's the Eighth Prince. I heard that he is Hongde's distinguished guest. He was supposed to be there for the Poison King Valley tournament, but he didn't show up. We guess Wei Li tripped him up." "
"..." Duandao's mouth twitched slightly, and finally he couldn't help laughing, "It turned out to be the Eighth King, and his skull has been used as an incense burner by Princess Changle."
Five, "..."
The princess is so cruel? !
