Brother is a heartless thing [Rebirth]

Wen Xuan probably understood by now.

The so-called illusion is nothing more than attacking people's weaknesses spiritually and piercing people's knots, and Li Ruqi's knots probably started from here.

He stood silently, watching the old days repeat themselves before him.

After Gu Jue finished speaking, he looked at the two servants brought in behind Li Ruqi, and said, "No idlers are allowed in the Xing Xing Pavilion, please let Young General Li let them go out first."

Li Ruqi showed disdain.

The National Master's Mansion doesn't have much power, but there are quite a lot of rules. He waved the person away, and then followed Gu Jue to the astrology board and sat down.

Gu Jue didn't chat with him much, not even a simple greeting at first sight.

He was not very talkative in the first place, and since he had just taken office, he hadn't adapted to his new identity yet, so he was not very familiar with the officials of the court at all.The National Teacher's Mansion does not usually receive idlers, and every time the people who come to the Astrology Pavilion to ask about matters are some important officials like Li Ruqi who are not easy to get along with, which makes his nerves tense up slightly every time he meets. .

Gu Jue lowered his eyes and immediately began to perform calculations for Li Ruqi.

His slender fingers pushed the balls on the astrolabe, and occasionally asked the other party some necessary questions, his eyes always fell on those complicated words, and he focused on the astrolabe calculations.

Li Ruqi just watched with arrogance, watching how he pretended to be a ghost.

The house is fragrant, warm and comfortable.

A moment later, Gu Jue returned the astrolabe to its place, and said:

"This battle is narrowly won, but remember that the poor will not chase after you. The enemy will be cunning, and treacherous schemes are difficult to guard against. If you are greedy for a short-term gain, you will definitely fall short."

"What did you say?" Li Ruqi's face darkened, looking displeased.

He didn't believe in these miraculous things at all, and privately thought that the so-called divination was just a means used by the monarch to appease people and fool fools. He didn't expect that Gu Jue would give such an unsatisfactory answer as soon as he opened his mouth.Mei Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean I will lose?"

"If Young General Li can handle it properly, he won't."

Li Ruji was immediately unhappy, and cast a contemptuous glance at the astrology board, speaking in a disrespectful tone, "How dare you be sure with such a crappy thing? Who are you fooling?"

Gu Jue frowned slightly. Seeing his rudeness, he was obviously in a bad mood, but he still maintained his upbringing: "Young General Li, my Gu family has studied this way for generations. It is not empty and nonsense, and I have never fooled it." As for you, I ask General Li to respect himself."

"Huh, is it?"

Li Ruqi dismissed it, leaned back, raised his chin with a sarcasm, and said, "My child, how much do you know about the battlefield? Do you know how strong the enemy is in this battle? Even a battle-tested person like my father said that this time is [-]% sure. You, a brat who has never seen the world, dare to talk nonsense after pretending to be in front of me twice? Do you think I Will you believe it? Who borrowed your courage?"

"Or is it that your Gu family's salary in the court is so easy to earn?"

Gu Jue was immediately sullen.

The other party was not only disrespectful to his words, but also contemptuous of the Gu family. Gu Jue also said coldly and bluntly at the age of youth: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is the first time that General Li leads the battle personally. I have no experience, so what qualifications do I have to be sure that I will win?"

"What's more, no matter how powerful your father is, it is not the major general's own ability after all. For your father, there may be a [-]% chance of winning this battle, but if it is you, the major general, there is no chance at all! Please also pay attention to it Don't be too careless and underestimate the enemy."

"Hehe...you have a sharp tongue." Li Ruqi has been used to being admired since he was a child, and few people dare to confront him like this. It would be a lie to say that he is not angry, and he sneered with his lips, "You are so incompetent." I have never killed a yellow-haired boy who has never been seen on the battlefield. How can I be sure that I can't win? Just because of this piece of rotten wood in front of you? Sigh..."

"Child of the Gu family, has no one told you who I am, Li Ruqi? No matter how powerful a courtier sees me, he has to be courteous. If you dare to offend me today, have you thought about the consequences?" He said arrogantly.

"I never wanted to offend the Major General, it was the Major General who wanted to provoke me." Gu Jue's thin waist was straightened, and his young face was rigid, and he said coldly, "Although my divination ability is not as good as my father's." It is profound, but it has never made a mistake, if General Li doesn't believe it, then he should give it a try!"

Li Ruqi immediately turned annoyed.

The eldest son of the majestic Lingjiang Mansion was provoked by a powerless brat, so is that okay?He stood up, looked down at Gu Jue with condescending eyes, his expression was full of contempt, and he said viciously:

"Okay, that's what you said! Just wait for me, if you lose, don't blame me for coming back and destroying your National Teacher's Mansion!"

……

Wen Xuan originally thought that Li Ruqi was so arrogant and underestimated the enemy that he would definitely lose this battle.

But what he never expected was that a month later, he returned with a big victory.

The monarch praised him very much, the people of Yang Kingdom lined the road to welcome him, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were even more respectful. They all said that this is a tiger father with no dogs.

It made him look even more arrogant than before.

Not two days after returning to Wangcheng, Li Ruqi visited the National Teacher's Mansion again, not to mention how arrogant he looked.

At that time, Gu Jue was studying the art of the Five Elements in the pavilion. Li Ruqi stood in front of him with his arms folded. He seemed to be in a good mood. He proudly raised his chin at him and said, "See? What did I say?" Come on, Gu Guoshi, do you know that you are wrong?"

Li Ruqi, the eldest son of General Li, won the first battle, and the news has spread throughout the streets and alleys, so Gu Jue naturally got the news immediately.

Seeing his face like a villain, Gu Guoshi immediately became angry, put down the scroll and got up, angrily said:

"Impossible! You must do what I say, otherwise you will never win this battle!"

Li Ruqi gave a displeased "tsk" sound, scanned him up and down and said, "What do you mean, Master Gu? The facts are all in front of you, dare you bet or not lose?"

Gu Jue has always been very confident in his divination. He couldn't accept that he missed and made a mistake, and even made a mistake on Li Ruqi's place. He said angrily, "My calculation can't be wrong, you must have changed it on the spot. What kind of strategy, I recalculated a dozen times yesterday with astrology, gossip, and Liuyao, and the answer is the same! You are definitely lying to me!"

"Yo." Li Ruqi laughed when he heard the words.

"You really take it seriously." He squeezed his chin jokingly, and scanned him up and down, "I can't tell, kid, you still know so many things?"

"Stop talking about him!" Gu Jue ignored his teasing, glared at him angrily and said, "Didn't you say that you didn't change your strategy and went after the enemy as originally intended? Well, since you don't want to Admit it, I will ask someone who knows the truth to see who is right and who is wrong in this matter!"

Go away immediately after speaking.

Li Ruqi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously chased after him two steps and grabbed him, "Hey hey——"

Gu Jue shook off his hand and stared at him coldly.

Li Ruqi almost laughed angrily at him, "Why are you so serious?"

Seeing that he was really unwilling to give in at all, Li Ruqi had no choice but to say: "All right, all right, I admit that at the time I noticed something was going on, and not only did I not catch up, but I also made another plan to defeat the enemy's first army. I follow you What you said was done, what you said before is indeed correct, there is nothing wrong with it, so the head office is okay, right?"

really!

Gu Jue had already guessed that this would be the case, and his anger could not be calmed down for a while, but he still didn't give him a good face.

"Hmph." He walked away from Li Ruqi with a cold face, sat back at the desk and picked up the scroll, "Since the conversation has been said, then General Li should come back earlier, I still have business to do Time to see idlers."

"Hiss..." Although Li Ruqi was extremely dissatisfied with his attitude, he thought it was funny and asked, "My child, are all the members of the Gu family so angry?"

When Gu Jue heard that he had a child on the left and a child on the right, he had long been displeased, looked up at him with a straight face, and said in a blunt tone: "Young General Li, I am only three years younger than you, please be more respectful in your address."

"Aren't you still a kid if you're three years younger?" Li Ruqi didn't care about his displeasure, and straightly pulled the chair opposite him and sat down, with a slack posture, rapped on the table with his fingers rudely, and said, "Hey, Since your fortune-telling is so accurate, why don't you help me figure out, when can I get promoted and get rich again?"

"..."

Gu Jue didn't expect that his lying was exposed, and he dared to stay here so shamelessly instead of chatting with him.He didn't want to answer at first, but there were only the two of them here, so he endured it and said, "...Lingjiang Lord's Mansion is already so prominent, what else does the Major General want?"

"Tsk, who would think that the official has a lot of money?" Li Ruqi said so, and stretched out his hand to take the book away from Gu Jue's hand, insisting that he do the math for him.

Gu Jue flicked his wide sleeves angrily, snatched the book back, and said angrily, "Our country's master's office only works for you! The divination for you before the battle is just because you have given orders. General Li, I am The national teacher is not a fortune teller at the intersection of the street!"

Li Ruqi said: "Why are you so stingy? Isn't the National Teacher's Office doing things for the king to earn a salary? If you don't want to, then you might as well make a price, and I will just pay you next time."

"you……!"

Gu Jue clenched the scroll tightly with his fingers, unable to bear it any longer.

After a while, General Li was "invited" out respectfully by the servants of the National Teacher's Mansion.

But Li Ruqi was young and frivolous and arrogant at that time, so he was naturally unconvinced to be humiliated by a brat, so after a few days, he really brought money and knocked on the door of the National Teacher's Mansion.

No need to think about it, it was naturally rejected.

But Li Ruqi was not good at giving up. He brought 100 taels today, and 200 taels tomorrow. If the 200 taels were not enough, he would exchange for 300 taels. Until later, the whole box was carried to the National Teacher’s Mansion. Day after day, the silver in it was gone. changed to gold.Those who knew from the posture knew that they were here to give gifts, but those who didn't know thought it was a marriage proposal.

On the other hand, the National Teacher's Mansion, not to mention accepting it, didn't even open the door afterwards.

So Li Ruqi finally stopped coming after being rejected several times.

But instead of giving up, he changed his method.

For example, openly criticizing Gu Jue every day in the court hall, deliberately choking on Gu Jue's words, using state affairs as an excuse, and following the court to the State Teacher's Mansion to disturb people's peace, disturbing people's peace, and deliberately toasting toast at the banquet to make people feel peaceful Gu Jue in a corner becomes the focus of everyone and so on...

At first Gu Jue didn't bother to talk to him at all, but he was always attached to such a scoundrel and couldn't completely ignore him, after a long time, he gradually got used to it.

After getting acquainted with each other gradually, the two people no longer confronted each other as soon as they met, and naturally formed another scene.

When Gu Jue was bullied by others in the hall, Li Ruqi would help out a few words intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Ruqi would be the first to take Gu Jue to see any new magical artifacts in the barracks.

When there are lantern festivals and flower feasts during New Years and festivals, he will also invite Gu Jue along with a bunch of cronies.

All encounters, collisions, intersections are just a few short scenes of changing light and shadow in the illusion, but in those ever-changing scenes, Wen Xuan still keenly captures the brilliance in the eyes of that elegant young man, like a firefly. Gradually, gradually, it lit up like a fire.

The figure of that person began to appear.
