Phoenix and Dragon

Li Mingyuan was unhappy when he left, but on the surface he couldn't pretend to be unintentional about Qin Feng's flattery and indifference. All along, he started with lust for Qin Feng but didn't end up with lust, knowing that his question was abrupt and reckless , but in fact he himself didn't know what answer he wanted.

Chang'an Marquis Mansion after the snow, above the eaves is the ice and snow that has not yet melted in the future, the Jiuzhong palace is not far away, but it is like a cloud, and the alleys of the capital are still in the beautiful bushes that have not received the spring breeze. Looking back, but standing still speechless.

This speechless, speechless beyond the Great Wall.

——————————————————————————————————————

Different from the gloomy cloud of lawsuits in the head of the son, Prince Su Li Xi was like a fish in water at the border. He had won several battles years ago, and before the battle reports had time to write beautifully and sent them back to the capital, he heard that his son wanted to Come to the border to give him money, the whole person is as happy as a runaway Tibetan mastiff.

It stands to reason that for the task of rewarding the army, one should either send a favored minister, or a high-ranking official. In the past, both Prime Minister Wu and Zhang Ge were suitable, and the one who died at worst should be Song Guogong. the emperor's arms.

However, due to well-known reasons, the first two will not be able to make it. As for Song Guogong, he is busy cleaning up the mess while holding countless ideas, and he is already tired into a spinning top. It's a bit inhumane to point at this guy who came to reward the army.

Li Mingyuan originally wanted to avoid the right and wrong in the muddy quagmire of the capital, so he scrambled to get such an errand, and he didn't care about whether it was suitable or not. I was really absent-minded when I was running northwest all the way, and when I came to the military tent where Li Xi was stationed, I suddenly remembered that the job I had received was inappropriate - he came with the emperor's order, and the nonsense he babbled was a gift from God Well, Li Xi is the coach, even if the imperial envoy's oral instructions are short nonsense from the parents, he has to kneel and listen.

However, Lao Tzu kneels down to his son, which is unheard of throughout the ages.

Li Mingyuan was about to break out in cold sweat thinking about this scene, but he hadn't figured out how to fight this sloppy eye. A mighty group of people were still outside the barracks. When he looked up, he saw his father in battle armor coming towards him from a distance. The red-faced old man was so strong that he was a different person from the old dandy in Beijing who pretended to be sick for three days. He walked fast, far away from the group of generals who followed behind him.

The words "See Father" and "My Emperor's Oral Order" stuck in his throat, and he let the two words scramble to get entangled for a while, but he didn't make a sound.

On the contrary, Prince Su Li Xi was quite heroic, he slapped his son's shoulder directly with his big rough hand, which was used to holding knives and guns, and almost turned his son over without seriousness.

Li Mingyuan: "..."

Li Xi was rather dissatisfied, frowned, and stood outside the military tent in a stern voice, "There are no rules! What's going on? I haven't seen you for a few months, you kid is dumb?!"

Li Mingyuan resisted the urge to be blocked by Li Xi's yelling, and squeezed out two words between his teeth: "Father."

Li Xi only showed satisfaction when he heard these two words, and nodded his head pretentiously.

The generals behind caught up with Prince Su, some recognized Li Mingyuan, and took the lead to salute him.

The voices of the generals were like a bell, and everyone in the barracks seemed to have to yell twice from time to time to enjoy themselves. Li Mingyuan was embarrassed and helpless, and finally, with a loud voice, he deeply realized what it means to be upright and down. The style of the group of people is really in the same line as his father, what kind of coach leads what kind of soldiers.

Li Mingyuan was dizzy from the loud voices, and when he followed Li Xi to the tent in a daze, he remembered that the emperor hadn't had time to spread his condolences, and was about to speak when Li Xi He raised his hand and blocked it back: "Okay, okay, thank the Lord Long En for fighting with the silver, and don't do the rest in front of my king's eyes. When I return to Beijing to write the scriptures, I will be grateful and tearful. How affectionate and sincere. Be sincere, the emperor will Love to watch this, now don't do this in front of your father, it's annoying!"

Li Mingyuan: "..."

Prince Su didn't see any sincerity in this return, and the son of the world was full of "Is it okay for this special mother?"

The truth is, Prince Su said yes, and that's fine.

Li Mingyuan had no choice but to be dragged into the handsome tent by his father. Several generals ate a full meal with him, and did not dare to drink. Seeing the time, the patrolling guards and night guards dispersed.

In the handsome tent, only Prince Su and his son remained.

The military order is like a mountain, and Prince Zisu, the leader of the dandy, has also changed his bad habit of drinking. The army is poor, and even tea leaves are rare, and there is no room for Li Mingyuan to be hypocritical. The situation in Beijing and China is complicated.

Li Xi had already heard about the messy rebellion in Beijing, but the military camp was far away from the emperor, so he didn't know the details. Li Mingyuan calmed down a little, and told the whole story from the time he went to Jiangling and back to Beijing. When hearing about Zhang Weigong's background and deployment, even Li Xi was a little moved.

After drinking a bowl of white water, it was bland but revealed the unique astringency of well water.

Li Xi didn't have time to dislike it, so he heard Li Mingyuan ask, the secret letter you received before you were seriously injured in the northwest was sent by my mother, do you know?

One sentence stunned Li Xiwen for a moment.

Prince Su Li Xi prefers Concubine Sun, who is filling in the house, and has always been at odds with Concubine Zhang, who was born in a scholarly family. The couple are said to be enemies when they meet.

Over the years, sincerity and hypocrisy have become indistinguishable dust of fleeting years. Outside the tent, the spring breeze is relentless, the cold wind is raging, the yellow sand is rolling, the vast sea of ​​clouds, the flames of war are thousands of miles away, and the smoke and dust are not only scattered by Zhengren Diaojin .

Li Xi frowned, watching the dim yellow light from the flickering candles in the military tent, he raised his hand to disperse the cold water in his hand.

Li Mingyuan sighed, and reached out to give him some warm food, but Li Xi blocked it with one hand.

He waved his hand to signal Li Mingyuan to sit down, and put the bowl close to him, showing the expression of a gentleman who was neither a general nor a dandy.

Before Li Mingyuan had time to respond to his father's rare expression with goosebumps all over his body, he was stunned by Li Xi's words.

"Your mother and I are young couples, but it's a pity that we don't have the chance to be together forever." He paused, then continued with a calm expression, "Really, we're already at this age... Forget it, remind me to burn an offering for her every Qingming Festival." , lest we meet in the underworld one day, and she blames me for not having a short life, and not going to accompany her sooner."

Li Mingyuan didn't say anything when he heard the words, and nodded after a while.

He seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

————————————————————————————————————

Li Mingyuan didn't stay at the border for a few days, Li Xi sent someone to clear up the food, grass and military pay, and immediately turned his back on him. His own son thought it was a hindrance, and he didn't see the intimacy he had when he first arrived at the border.

Li Mingyuan hadn't had time to be dumbfounded at the speed of Li Xi's face-changing, and he heard the commander's order from the soldier, and decisively sent the son back to the capital.

When I went there, I took the emperor's order and took on the task. I wanted to stay for a few more days to avoid the limelight, but unexpectedly, my father disliked me so much.

The son of the eldest son has never felt this kind of grandma not loving his uncle since he was a child, and his worries and anger turned into melancholy for a moment.

Li Xi's eyes were red from the battle, his vigor was as if he had drunk all the chicken blood in the world, and he had a tendency to fight into the barbarian's lair, and he didn't want to end the battle early and return to Beijing; Li Mingyao was not in Beijing, so I don't know if he was on the way Fighting wits and bravery with the governor who was born in the bureaucracy, Li Mingyuan thought it was fun to think about his younger brother's shapeless appearance being tortured by the proud governor.

He was the only one in Prince Su's Mansion in the middle of the capital, and he had been busy for these years. Once he let go of all his previous fears, he realized that life was so boring.

Li Mingyuan walked slowly towards the capital while thinking about these absurd years. When everything came to light, he felt lost instead.

However, in a few months, from guessing and planning to the truth, Li Mingyuan felt that he seemed to have lived his whole life.

Li Mingyuan thought about it a long time ago, if one day he finds out what happened to Prince Su's mansion after years, he can't do it to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, he can't do it to survive between the cracks. Happy rivers and lakes, only to find out in the end, it was just a joke.

The world is full of turmoil, entanglements of grievances and grievances, he has never found peace of mind and a home, and it is all nonsense to talk about fighting for justice.

Tolerance is great, no desires are strong, when he has thousands of desires in his heart, he always feels that no desires and no desires are peace; when it is really calm, he realizes that no desires and no desires are just a joke, and no one takes him seriously.

For the rest of your life, you will never be able to satisfy your desires.

He thought of Qin Feng again.

Li Mingyuan actually doesn't remember much about him when he was a child, and he still remembers it as a vague shadow.

But the Qing Ying who passed by in the plain white and looked back with a smile is real.

He knew that his avoidance from the Temple of Heaven was actually very hurtful—although he didn't know whether Qin Feng would also feel that kind of alienation was a kind of hurt.

Li Mingyuan finally had time to calmly think about those few months, although Qin Feng chose him from the beginning with the purpose of letting him destroy Zhang Weigong.

Hiding in the dark, Mr. Zhang Ge was originally an invulnerable enemy, with no possibility of mercy. Even if he was defeated, he would arrange ten thousand escape routes, but Li Mingyuan was able to tear open the most precious opening in his layers of protection.

This is exploited through and through.

But if you look at it from another angle, this is a complete protection for Li Mingyuan.

If this is not the case, let Zhang Weigong provoke the relationship between Prince Su and the emperor, and rely on Li Mingyuan to achieve his original goal, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, Li Mingyuan will not be able to argue. In order to survive, he can only turn to Zhang Weigong, and it is impossible to have the current body And retreat.

In fact, he is still good to himself, Li Mingyuan thought, he arranged a cruel path for him, but he didn't want him to witness the cruelty for himself - he still remembers the eyes that covered his eyes when all the arrows were fired. Cold hands, those hands are weak and boneless, cold and indifferent, but what is covered is blood and cruelty.

He didn't want to let himself see the cruelty that had been arranged long ago, even if the bloody cruelty was as real as ever.

The only thing he wasn't sure about was that kiss on the cheek that day - he couldn't even tell if it was a kiss or something else.

Thinking about it this way, Li Mingyuan became anxious again. The slow walking speed made him feel more irritable than ever. That day in the Marquis of Chang'an, the matter of being sent off before he could ask clearly made the Shizi feel annoyed. He only felt that Qin Feng was too annoying for him. I was a little worried, yes yes, no yes no, it's not too late to drive people away after making it clear!

Thinking of this, Li Mingyuan whipped the horse's ass, and his speed suddenly increased.

He decided to go back and ask Qin Feng, all along, whether he Li Mingyuan was wrong or Qin Fengda was wrong. Even if he was wrong, it would not be too late to develop into the right one.

The accompanying officer was made miserable by Shizi's fast speed and slow speed, but seeing Shizi suddenly rushing like a ghost, he didn't dare to remind him, fearing that he would be caught by an evil spirit along with him.

Not to mention how many crimes the son of the world suffered for his entourage, but he said that when he returned to the capital and went straight to the Marquis of Chang'an, he was told that the Marquis left the capital with you, and he didn't say where he was going or when he would come back. .

Only then did Li Mingyuan realize belatedly that he would not be able to find Qin Feng for a while.
