Brother is a heartless thing [Rebirth]

In fact, after being in contact with Gu Jue for a long time, Li Ruqi gradually realized that Gu Jue himself might be much more interesting than when they first met.

Gu Jue treats people with respect and education, never strives for worldly fame and fortune, disdains to associate with celebrities in official circles, and is not greedy for money and wealth.There is even a little arrogance in his bones, but at the same time, he has some low self-esteem for no reason.

It may be due to the influence of life restraint since childhood, or it may be due to loneliness after growing up. In short, he always treats everything with a humble and respectful attitude. A person who is obviously so ice and snow, but always He felt clumsy and incompetent, knew nothing, and hated him so much that people sometimes wanted to beat him.

He likes to eat cakes that are too sweet to be greasy, and he prefers heavy and spicy oil that does not match his temperament. He rarely drinks alcohol, and he will get drunk after a little.

When I am extremely happy or angry, I will show my childish side, but most of the time, I am a quiet person, neither noisy nor noisy, and not blending into the world...

Well, how do you say it?

In short, very special, very pleasing.

On weekdays, Li Ruqi didn't have much time to be in contact with Gu Jue. Since he got the position of "Major General", he has become much busier and has gradually taken over more and more secretive internal affairs of the army. Only when you are really bored and panic, will you go to the National Teacher's Mansion to pass the time.

When it comes to Li Ruqi, there is one thing I have to admit - the Li family's military blood is really good.

Although Li Ruqi's talent and cultivation are not amazing, his ability to maneuver across the battlefield and strategize is something that others will never envy for a few lifetimes.

His mind is quick, his decision-making is amazingly decisive, and he never gets emotional on big things.A person who is usually so frivolous and inconspicuous, but facing the battlefield of life and death, he is so rational that he is not like an ordinary person. No matter what emergencies occur on the battlefield, he can always point out the most secretive and most subtle breakthrough when everyone is in chaos. , so that people have to marvel at his ability.

Therefore, although Li Ruqi is arrogant in his bones, he also has the qualifications to be arrogant.

Others are either because of noble birth, or because of high position and weight, but he is because there is no one in the court now, and his father is getting old and declining. The monarch has no choice. He can't.

Except for him, no one can conquer the morale of the army, no one can quell the war, and no one can take on the important task of commanding the Zhaobei Army.

But this is the case, Li Ruqi's defiant and self-willedness are indeed his shortcomings that cannot be ignored.

This may not matter to ordinary people in the market, but to people like Li Ruqi, he is already standing too high. If a horse stumbles, it is easy to fall into the quagmire, fall to pieces, and never climb up again.

Gu Jue also mentioned this to him over and over again.But Li Ruqi was too proud, he couldn't tolerate anyone, let alone listen to other people's advice.

So Gu Jue stopped talking.

Just be a quiet spectator, and occasionally close the door of the National Teacher's Mansion, listening to him laughing and cursing, mocking the officials, talking about state affairs, telling interesting stories on the battlefield when he is happy, and pulling him away when he is unhappy. He, drinking the military spirits he is not used to.

So day after day, five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Five years later, Li Ruqi was sent to the frontier garrison, and three full years passed after he left.

The age in the illusion is not so clear, Wen Xuan can only tell from the changes in their faces and figures that time is passing by rapidly.

After Li Ruqi returned to Wangcheng, he officially took over the Lingjiang Mansion, and was conferred the title of Great General of Zhenguo.

To congratulate him on his return to the city, the monarch specially held a grand dinner in the palace.In the huge palace, resplendent and resplendent, lights and shadows staggered, thousands of candles shone on the silver screen and golden palace, hundreds of wine cups collided and swayed in the sound of singing and dancing, and smiling faces held cups and cups in front of him. Excessive, ingratiating, hypocritical, jealous...

But only Gu Jue was missing.

……

For so many years, this is what Li Ruqi wanted.He is a layman, and he never denies that he is a layman. He longs to be in possession of gold and silver, longs to have power, longs to have the status of being under one person and above ten thousand people, so that everyone will bow to him and congratulate him.

Whether it was due to his prominent family background in the past, relying on his reputation, or his unrivaled ability now, it doesn't matter if he is alone.He wants it all.

So now that someone has organized such a grand feast for him, how could he be dissatisfied?

He couldn't be happier.

He looked at those stalking faces and the piles of treasure boxes, and he was satisfied.I feel that life is nothing more than that.

So that night, he exchanged glasses with everyone, drank so much during the singing and dancing, got so drunk that he even forgot his last name.

But when the final banquet was about to end, another wave of anger arose in vain.

——Why didn't Gu Jue come? !

How could Gu Jue not come? !

He is now embraced by thousands of people, and his power is overwhelming.

Isn't Gu Jue happy for him?

Don't you want to congratulate him at all?

We haven't seen each other for three years, shouldn't we even respect him once with a glass of wine? !

Thinking of this, Li Ruqi felt that his heart was suddenly on fire.

He put down the cup heavily, picked a jug of wine with the most weight from the side, and left the palace with it.

At this time, Li Ruqi's figure had already grown up, and his appearance had changed from a young boy to a mature one.He has a handsome appearance, a nose that hangs like a bridge, has a flirtatious charm, and also has a life-threatening and awe-inspiring awe-inspiring, under the cold moonlight, even the drunken swaying figure is a bit arrogant.

Perhaps it was because he was so drunk that he had no clear impression of the night, and the scenes around the illusion were blurred.

Based on his impressions, he walked all the way to the National Teacher's Mansion, knocked on the gate of the mansion roughly, and broke into Gu Jue's residence without even waiting for his servants to tell him.

After seeing Gu Jue with a dazed and astonished expression, Li Ruqi stuffed the wine jar in his arms into his arms, pointed at him swayingly, and said harshly, "Give it to me, drink!"

Gu Jue: "..."

Seeing him drinking like this, Gu Jue had no choice but to lead him back to the house, explaining that there is an important astrology to watch tonight, which cannot be missed, so he had to stay in the mansion, and wanted to wait until tomorrow morning to go to Ling Jiangjun The government apologized to him and congratulated him by the way.

But Li Ruqi didn't listen, and insisted on asking him to drink. There was no wine cup in Gu Jue's room, so he brought two small tea cups, poured the wine into them, and forcefully stuffed them into Gu Jue's hands.

Fortunately, the wine was not strong, so Gu Jue managed to drink some, even after two or three cups of teacup-sized wine, he wouldn't get drunk.

Seeing that he drank as expected, Li felt completely satisfied.

He collapsed on the arhat couch in the room, his eyes were red with drunkenness, he looked up at the blurry ceiling, and babbled about something.

He said: "Gu Jue, do you know? It's been so many years. I've been in Wangcheng and the border. It's been 27 years... I feel like I'm dreaming."

"I work hard every day, dealing with the old family in the court, dealing with the corporals in the barracks, dealing with everyone around me, every moment... every moment I don't look forward to my father's life. In that position, I want to step all those people under their feet, let them look up to me and embrace me... Now I have done it, I have really done it, it is like a dream..."

"..."

He was so drunk that he was unconscious, and he didn't care if anyone was listening, he just said in a daze:

"Many of them think... that I have worked so hard and earnestly for the Yang Kingdom. I really did it for the people of the Yang Kingdom, for the prosperity and peace of the world, and to become like my father, a great hero who stands up to the sky..."

"No, it's not."

"I, in fact, don't really care if Yang Guo is too peaceful, or whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment, or whether they will be displaced. I am different from you...I fight for meritorious service, and kill people for the sake of being admired. I don't yearn for peace in the world. , I only yearn for fame and fortune, I want to hold the most extravagant and most precious treasure in the world, and sit in a unique position under one person, so that the whole world, even you, will kneel down and bow their heads when they see me, and flatter me. "

"..."

Li Ruqi closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Glory and wealth, surrounded by thousands of people, think about it... who wouldn't want it?"

He murmured to himself: "I was originally from a noble family, and I could easily get things that the world doesn't have in this life. The reason why I have to work so hard and spend so much time is not because I have something Longing for... wanting something?"

In the hazy illusion, Gu Jue's expression was a little fuzzy, he was silent for a long time, and after a while, he only said lightly: "You are drunk, Li Ruqi, I will send you back."

"Gu Jue."

Li Ruqi called him.

Turning his head, his eyes seemed to fall on him, and he said in a low voice: "I know you are different from me."

"..."

"You have the world in your heart and a kinder heart than mine. You don't fight or grab. You don't love power as much as I do. You are broad-minded and don't hold grudges against others. Unlike me, who is narrow-minded and holds grudges..." Li Ruqi said as he spoke. Bian stood up, still looked at Gu Jue with drunken eyes, smiled suddenly, and approached him with a strong smell of alcohol, "So, you are always inferior to me in everything."

"..."

His figure was unstable, and he leaned down recklessly, propping his arms on the back of the chair to surround Gu Jue.

Gu Jue was slightly startled, seeing that pair of cloudy and deep eyes looking straight at him, close at hand, and with a drunken smile, he said lightly:

"But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm in this royal city, I won't ask others to bully you."

Gu Jue shrank his hands hidden in his sleeves, and immediately realized that the other party was too close, and immediately turned his face away, trying to push him away, "Li Ruqi, you get up."

Li Ruqi understood that he was ignoring his good intentions.

Not only did he not get up, but he stood still even more, pressed his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Tsk, why are you so ignorant? Now that I have achieved success and fame, I can have whatever I want. How can I treat you, a little national teacher, badly?" Can't the government succeed?"

Then he remembered that the other party hadn't attended his return to the city banquet just because of such shit as stargazing, and his heart was furious again. He grabbed Gu Jue's wrist with one hand, and grabbed his lapel with the other, squinted his eyes, and exhaled He asked very closely, "Hey, Gu Jue, are you..."

Halfway through the conversation, he saw Gu Jue's fair and delicate face blushing faintly in his barely clear vision.

A trace of doubt flashed across Li Ruqi's eyes, and he immediately forgot what he wanted to say, and kept his words in his mouth for a long while, and finally changed to: "Are you...are you hot?"

"..." Gu Jue gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm, "I'm not hot, so hurry up and drive away."

Unexpectedly, when Li Ruqi saw his appearance, he suddenly laughed.

There seemed to be stars in those dark eyes, and he said drunkenly: "I know..." He put his hand on Gu Jue's face, and his fingertips unconsciously caressed the other's delicate skin, "I haven't seen you for three years, do you want to see me?" Me?"

Gu Jue's eyes widened instantly in shock, and he turned to stare at him, his lips moved.

But I heard Li Ruqi muttering: "I miss you too..."

"..."

At that time, the other party's breath was too close, and the ear was covered by the deafening heartbeat, Gu Jue couldn't tell whether the original meaning of that sentence was intimacy or something else.

Li Ruqi later said many things to him.

In the illusion, it is as vague as a mist.

Ultimately, everything about that night became a blur, and they seemed to have said and done a lot.

I don't know who kissed who first, their fiery breaths are entangled, and in the overlapping of drunkenness and soberness, it becomes more and more absurd.

The soft tent is deep, the lights are dim, and everything in front of me begins to fade away with the memory fading.

The fiery candles swayed all night.

Under the thin golden gauze tent, there are faint shadows reflected.

Breathless, pathetic, absurd...

Like a dream in the mirror, after a long period of separation, the silhouette is once again reflected.
