Young Marshal's Mansion.
Li Mi was unceremonious and sat casually in the pavilion, eating meat and drinking wine, feeling comfortable.
Still a filial son!
"Bang, Dad, why are you drinking alone and waiting for me? Are you so unkind?" Kou Zhong stepped forward and slapped his adoptive father on the shoulder, greeting him warmly.
Li Mi didn't even turn around and drank a drink happily: "This is your home, not my home. Of course I am the eldest!"
"Hey, hey, dad, let me introduce to you, this is your daughter-in-law: Dong Shuni, Wang Shichong's niece. How about it, I didn't embarrass you, did I?" Kou Zhong introduced her ostentatiously.
"Shuni pays homage to her adoptive father!" Dong Shuni, a young woman in a red dress, squatted slightly and saluted.
Li Mi then turned around, took a look, and nodded.
"Yes, he has a big heart and a round head, and he is a good child-bearer."
Dong Shuni blushed, why did her father-in-law pay attention to her when they first met?
Kou Zhong didn't care. He sat next to him and smiled: "Dad, your son will soon unify the world. Come to me and I will make you a Marquis of Anle."
Military power, money, women, whatever you want, take it and ask for it! "
His biggest shortcoming and advantage is that he repays kindness and is easy to show his heart to others.
Li Mi shook his head and sighed: "Let's forget it. If I betray the Li family again and come to you, won't I become a slave of the third surname?
Of course, you are also setting me up for injustice by meeting me alone this time! With that old guy Li Yuan's mentality, I probably won't be able to go back.
After this mission, I went to Lingnan to enjoy life. "
Li Mi said this very helplessly, but he had to do it.
If he didn't want his son to be in trouble due to his current status, he could only go to Lingnan, otherwise he might become Kou Zhong's weakness in the Li family.
But coming to Shaoshuaijun's side is more likely to be used by Li to say that Kou Zhong's father is an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust man.
Men cannot be without rights for a day!
Li Mi thought that from now on he could only drink wine and eat delicious food in that remote place in Lingnan, alone and painfully, while having a dozen young girls serve him.
But apart from enjoying these, I have nothing else.
Uncomfortable!
"Dad, what are you afraid of? Don't you know one thing? Yang Guangsheng often said to me: The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, then history is just a little girl who can be dressed up by others!
When I defeat the Li family, I will see who in the world dares to speak against you. "Kou Zhong said domineeringly.
Now that the young marshal has many soldiers and generals, everyone is united, and he is an unparalleled strong man, who else is there?
"Forget it, people's words are terrible! Besides, you kid, can you do anything to Li?" Li Mi was a little doubtful.
A hero has a hard time with a beauty, as the ancient saying goes.
"Hehe!" Kou Zhong grabbed the small hand of the lady who had been serving wine and food: "Dad, why does a man have to worry about not having a wife?"
Li Mi nodded with satisfaction. This son finally grew into a powerful figure.
"Okay, you go see Li Xiuning. I'm going to stay with you for a few days and have some fun before leaving. We'll have time to talk later."
"Okay! Suni, let's go meet my old friend!"
"Okay husband! Foster father, Shuni resigns."
Li Mi looked at the two people leaving hand in hand, and suddenly felt that the next scene would be very interesting.
It's a pity that I can't watch the fun.
"Whoosh~"
"what is that?"
Li Mi rubbed his eyes and seemed to see a white figure and a yellow figure flash by. Then he looked at the mushroom on his body and murmured to himself.
"Is it because the mushroom is not cooked enough?"
…
lobby.
Li Xiuning wore a long dark blue brocade dress with white plum blossoms embroidered on the skirt. She tied her uncontrollably slender waist with a white brocade belt. Her jet-black hair was tied into a bun, with only a white jade hairpin with plum blossoms inserted.
Although simple, it looks fresh and elegant.
The ten fingers are slender, the skin is like gelatin, the snow white is tinged with pink, and it seems that they can wring out water.
The young woman picked up the tea cup. She didn't know how many cups of tea she had already drank. Her eyes were wandering, lost in the memories of the past.
"Dangdang, Xiuning, look at the beggar's chicken from Grandpa Liu's school in the south of the city that I spent a long time looking for. Do you want to try it?
If it’s delicious, I’ll make it for you every day. "
The young man came over happily to greet me with a plate of fragrant roast chicken, his eyes full of light.
"Kou Zhong, you are now a guest of my Li family, and you are also a famous master in the world. Your most important task is to practice your skills well.
Be mature, okay? "
…
"Xiu Ning, look, the ring made of grass leaves that Grandma Li and I learned, does it look good? Do you want to put it on and see if it fits well? If it doesn't fit, I will change it for you." The young man was full of expectations.
"Kou Zhong, can you stop being so naive? The Yuwen family has been sending people to target my Li family. I don't want to do these useless things now."
"Okay, I'll help you steal the ledger!"
…
"Xiu Ning, why are you going to a party so late? It's too dangerous for you to be alone. I'll protect you."
"No need, these are all my friends at the party. They have prominent family backgrounds and are knowledgeable. They will be fine."
"Oh, do you want me to pick you up? Recently I heard in the city that some people steal little girls' bellybands, candied haws, and melon seeds. Some little girls cry as they walk."
"Kou Zhong, don't you think it's annoying for you to be like this? I don't even feel like I have any private space or time of my own. What you have to do now is to practice hard and work hard, so that one day my father will appreciate you.
Otherwise, if I have no money, no power, no ability, even if I are with you, do you think we have a better future? "
"Stop being childish!" "Are you annoyed?" "Kou Zhong, I don't like your gentleness that accomplishes nothing. What I want is that you are ambitious and motivated!"
"I'm sorry, I can't be sorry to my family, I'm sorry to Mr. Chai!"
…
It went dark in front of the door, and a tall figure appeared.
Li Xiuning's face lit up, she quickly stood up and said angrily: "Kou Zhong, why does it take so long for an old friend to come over and want to meet?"
When she saw Dong Shuni, whose appearance, appearance and temperament were no less than hers next to Kou Zhong, the smile on the young woman's face gradually disappeared.
"Who is this?"
Kou Zhong smiled: "Sister Xiuning, you see I have been a little busy lately and forgot to introduce you. This is my wife: Dong Shuni, the granddaughter of the Great Zheng Kingdom."
Li Xiuning was startled and said seriously: "Kou Zhong, although some words may easily hurt the feelings of our old friends, I still want to say one thing: Wang Shichong is a cunning and insidious person who likes to hurt people behind their backs. You must be careful about what conspiracy he has. trick."
Dong Shuni remained silent.
Before coming here, she had read a book written by a person from Lingnan called "My Little Carp": When facing outsiders, the most important thing for a wife is one thing: to give her husband face.
And arguing in vain will only lose everyone's ladylike demeanor. Trusting your husband unconditionally is the most important thing.
Sure enough, Kou Zhong picked up her little hand and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuning, you may have misunderstood. My uncle has packaged the entire Dazheng together as Shuni's dowry. From now on, we will be a real family!"
Li Xiuning's heart sank.
Chang'an and Luoyang are neighbors. As a result, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty will face a great master.
"Kou Zhong, when we talk about a family, we are actually also a family. After you left, under the auspices of my second brother, several forces in the Central Plains established an alliance of five families to prevent war from displacing millions of people.
At that time, it was agreed that whoever took the lead would be punished by the whole world. "Li Xiuning forced a smile and said softly.
Kou Zhong nodded, very calmly: "Well, I have heard of it, but it was signed by Yang Guangsheng, what does it have to do with me?
Besides, when Dazheng takes the initiative to voluntarily merge into our Young Marshal's Army, one of the five alliances will be missing, and the agreement will naturally not count.
Of course, if your second brother is dissatisfied and wants to cause trouble for me, then you are welcome to hit me! "As he said that, Kou Zhong grinned and looked very arrogant.
Li Xiuning looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
"Kou Zhong, I remember that you were not like this before. You were kind, simple, and loyal. But now you are going to plunge the people of the world into war again just because of your own selfishness.
Do you really understand?
In a war, there will be piles of bones and mountains of blood. Brothers, friends, relatives and even children you know may die. These are all just because of your thoughts! "
Kou Zhong did not comment, pulled Dong Shuni to sit on the seat, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Yes, and what next? Isn't this the so-called maturity that Sister Xiuning wants? To compete in the world and achieve great unification as the great emperor of the human race, doesn't this mean he has a career and is motivated?
I did it, you should be happy. "
"boom!"
Kou Zhong smashed the table into pieces with one palm: "Isn't this what you women want?"
"Whoops!"
The table was shattered on the ground, just like the young heart of a boy.
Li Xiuning was dumbfounded and silent for a moment. His big eyes were like water, almost overflowing, and he shook his head: "No, Kou Zhong, that was before, but I don't want it now! Let's go back, okay?"
Let's be the good friends we were before and talk about everything, let's be best friends again, okay? "
Dong Shuni was still standing aside obediently, and she also ordered the servants to come over and clear the table and serve tea and water.
But Kou Zhong smiled: "Look back, how do you want me to turn back? Do you want me to be like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy?"
Or should I abandon my brothers, subordinates, and bosses, and let them struggle for half their lives, dragging their families with me, and bring everything they have entrusted to me to a ruin?
Xiuning, you came just in time, tell your second brother and your father when you get back. When I take over Luoyang, our two families will have a battle!
In this battle, either you die or I die.
The Central Plains has been in chaos for too long, and it’s time to stop and take a break! "
When Li Xiuning heard this, she could no longer maintain her quiet demeanor and became furious: "Are you a man? If you hate me, just come to me for revenge!"
Why do you have to inflict your own pain on innocent people and soldiers?
Kou Zhong, I would rather be a peaceful dog than a man in troubled times! This is what you said. "
Kou Zhong was happy instead. He crossed his legs and tilted his legs, gesturing to Shuni to pinch her shoulders: "This world is so cruel. You can't choose. Do you think I can choose?"
"Yes, Kou Zhong, I'm sorry for you, I didn't choose you.
But what about me!
Do you think I'm happy?
I have to choose between you and Chai Shao, I have to choose between you and the Li family, you and my parents and my brothers!
You know, no matter who I choose, I will regret it! "Li Xiuning looked painful and didn't know how to explain her dilemma.
Kou Zhong smiled: "Oh? You say that as if you did the right thing?
Sister Xiuning, you chose the Li family, and your family will be happily reunited with Meimei. If you choose Chai Shao, his family's wealth can increase your Li family's power to a higher level, which is considered a complete meritorious deed. "
Having said this, he suddenly stood up, pointed at himself, and shouted hoarsely: "But why didn't you choose me?
Five years!
Five years!
Do you know how I spent these five years? do you know? do you know! ? "
"I'm sorry, Kou Zhong, I'm sorry for you! Wuwuwu~" Li Xiuning covered her face and squatted on the ground, unable to hold back the grievance in her heart any longer.
She was sorry for everyone except Kou Zhong, but she never thought that he could reach this point.
She was wrong, she really knew she was wrong!
Kou Zhong stood up, walked to her, gently helped the young woman up, and said seriously: "No, Sister Xiuning, you are right!
You always make the best choice.
You didn't feel sorry for me, it was me who felt sorry for myself, and I felt sorry for my brothers and relatives.
In fact, I still want to sincerely thank you. Sister Xiuning, thank you for not choosing me, otherwise where would I have everything I have now? "
Li Xiuning raised her head, her eyes dimmed with tears, and looked into this man's eyes, which were as calm as water, with no trace of ripples in them.
From now on, he will no longer be a constraint. Death or life has nothing to do with him.
Such a man is even more terrifying.
Thinking that from now on, if Li had to face such a man, the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty, the second brother's dream might just disappear.
"Kou Zhong, have you really made your decision? The Central Plains has been at peace for many years. The life and death of the people in the world depend on your thoughts!" Li Xiuning said softly.
"Haha, Sister Xiuning, if your second brother becomes a grand master, will he come and beat me?" Kou Zhong asked with a smile.
"certainly...."
Kou Zhong interrupted directly: "Don't tell me that he can't do it! Do you think I'm still the same kid as I was back then?"
There was a moment of silence.
"Kou Zhong, I hate you!" After saying that, Li Xiuning pushed him away and left while wiping tears.
She is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. She has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never suffered any grievances. She has begged her hard, so why can't she accommodate herself?
Did he think he had won? The Li family also has a Buddhist sect, a Taoist sect, and even the eldest brother has a relationship with the Demonic sect.
Kou Zhong is not the only great master in this land of the Central Plains!
She can even ask for help from her former handkerchief: Song Yuzhi, the powerful immortal god who broke through the void.
Competing in the world is not just about personal force, helpers and forces are also part of determining the victory.
In this world, it is still unclear who will win!
...
After a while.
"Hey, Mr. Le, you are here too. Come and see how my wife is doing?"
"Meow meow~"
"That's good, let her sleep with you tonight!"
Dong Shuni:? ? ?
