Spicy rivers and lakes!

What Li Dongqing said to Ning Hechen back then was a prophecy.

He told Ning Hechen at that time that if he were Liu Che, he would blame Ning Hechen for the cause of this battle, and make the court's troops famous.Ning Hechen caused the imperial court to lose [-] soldiers and horses, and was severely humiliated by the Huns. It is only natural that they sent troops to the Jianghu because of this incident.That's what Li Dongqing imagined at the time, but he didn't expect that Liu Che would really do this.

Li Dongqing looked at King Dongou and said, "I don't know how to make friends."

"It can be guessed," said Dongou King, "you have always attached great importance to feelings."

"That's not the case," Li Dongqing said, "Emotions are part of it, it's my selfishness, but even if Ning Hechen has nothing to do with me, I won't hand him over."

King Dongou listened patiently.

Li Dongqing said: "This is just his excuse. He wants Ning Hechen because Ning Hechen makes him uneasy everywhere except in his hands. He has enmity with Ning Hechen and he is afraid. But Ning Hechen If it can’t satisfy his desire, he still wants to annex the rivers and lakes in the end, and he won’t stop just because he has Ning and Chen.”

"I won't let Ning and Chen die so absurdly." Li Dongqing looked at him very seriously.

The King of Dongou said: "But now, there is no other way. If Liu Che sends troops, I will be powerless to resist. In fact, I can't let the situation go to this point. Your Yue clan has been living in Dongou. Liu Che is also the same for this matter." You know, he didn't stop it, which means tacit consent, and you big singers will not conflict with him for Ning Hechen's sake."

Li Dongqing said: "Then I'll go, it's very simple."

He spoke so simply that both Huo Xun Changming and Dongou King were taken aback.

Huo Xunchangming said angrily, "How did Liu Che know that Ning and Chen are here?"

"You went to fight him," Dongou King said still kindly, "how could he not know? His eyes and ears are all on the battlefield. Although he didn't go to the battlefield in person, he did go there in person. It's nothing. The difference. When Dongqing and him get together, they can naturally imagine the two people who disappeared together."

King Dong'ou said, "Dongqing, how safe do you think your situation is?"

But Li Dongqing didn't care at all, he was not afraid of anything, not Liu Che, nor God.

Li Dongqing said: "Ning Hechen is kind to me. I respect him and love him. If I give up on him because of my own situation, then I am not as good as a pig or a dog. If you really understand me, why bother to talk? , Clay figurines also have a bloody temperament, and no one has immovable reverse scales."

King Dongou said, "Young man, put out the fire."

Li Dongqing realized that she had lost her composure and put her shoulders down.

Huo Xun Changming asked: "There is no other way?"

"When dealing with the emperor, how can there be a way to slow down?" King Dongou said, "Just do what he says. What's more, you lose."

Li Dongqing regretted it, and then he realized that no matter what time, he must not lose, and there is no such thing as staying out of the matter and losing is glorious.

Huo Xun Changming glanced at Li Dongqing, carefully studied his expression, and felt a little nervous.He knew Li Dongqing well, he was a hard rock, no one could say anything about it.

Li Dongqing stood up and said, "I'll go find the singer."

King Dongou looked up at him and asked, "Oh, sometimes, if you take one wrong step, your life will be over. Why do you wait for yourself to regret it later?"

"I was able to live in peace a year ago," Li Dongqing said, looking back at him, "I could stay under Yi Zhixie's command, or I could go back to Chang'an to be the ineffective grandson of the Empress Dowager, but I ended up here , I have not regretted it."

When Li Dongqing said this, he suddenly understood himself, and said, "People don't have to just take the comfortable path."

King Dongou laughed and felt relieved.When a person reaches a certain age, he can't restrain himself from wanting to preach to others. Seeing that others are living a wrong life, he can't help but give pointers.Although annoying, but also from the heart, but if the man does not listen, Dong Ou King will appreciate him instead.

Li Dongqing bid him farewell, then turned around and left, Huo Xunchang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Well, then I'm leaving too?"

King Dongou waved his hand: "Go quickly."

Huo Xun Changming didn't dare to say anything, and followed Li Dongqing. Li Dongqing was walking halfway, then suddenly turned around and went to Wang Sumin's house. The door was locked. Wang Sumin was not there, so he should be on duty.

Li Dongqing climbed over the wall in two steps and went in. Huo Xun Changming was waiting outside for no reason, and it was inconvenient to follow him over the wall. After a while, Li Dongqing came out with a fish ruler knife.

Huo Xunchang swallowed his saliva and said, "Huh?"

Li Dongqing said: "'Ah' what?"

"Still fighting?"

"No." Li Dongqing said.

Huo Xun Changming saw that he was not very talkative now, so he didn't dare to ask any more. He followed Li Dongqing to the house of the big show girl. The big show girl lived with thirty or forty show girls, so it was not convenient to talk. But Li Dongqing couldn't be more thoughtful, as he himself had urgent matters to take care of.

Before Li Dongqing entered the mansion, he looked back at Huo Xun Changming, Huo Xun Changming seemed to understand what he meant immediately, and said vigilantly: "I'll go in with you."

"No need," Li Dongqing said, "just a few words."

Deliberately took a fish ruler knife to speak?How does Huo Xun Changming believe this?He said: "Say a few words, why don't you let me in?"

Li Dongqing said: "It's just inconvenient anyway, you can wait for me here."

Huo Xun Changming couldn't help it, he always listened to Li Dongqing's orders, so he didn't know whether he should make up his own mind at this time, but Li Dongqing turned around and went in without waiting for him to struggle, his movements were crisp and neat, not allowing him to refute , Huo Xun Changming looked at his back, a sentence stuck in his throat, and he didn't finish.

Li Dongqing entered the mansion, the door of the mansion was open, he went straight in, and a girl walked in, Li Dongqing politely said: "Please introduce the big singer."

The girl looked up at him and said, "The big singer is not here."

"Then I'll wait for her to come back here." Li Dongqing said, he had already prepared in his heart, and stood in the courtyard with his right hand holding the knife behind his back.

The girl, holding a copper basin of water in her hand, walked past him into the main house.

Li Dongqing was standing on the mansion. In fact, he felt that he hadn't waited for a long time, because he also thought about some things during the period, and before he knew it, it was already dark. The pine in the yard.When night fell, the main house was lit, and the figure sitting by the window could be seen.

The door opened with a creak, and the girl came out, walked up to him and whispered, "Please go in."

Only then did Li Dongqing move, turning the knife, the tip of the knife facing upwards, holding the long handle of the knife in his hand, he lifted his robe and walked in.

Huo Xunli sat leaning against the low table in front of the window and didn't look at him. Li Dongqing came over and sat down, and she said: "You haven't seen you use this knife since it was made out. You brought it with you when you came to see me." .”

"No," the knife fiddled with Li Dongqing's hand, turned it around and put it on the table, startling the girls next to her and almost moved her hand, but Li Dongqing threw the knife in front of her. Pushing, said, "I want to return it."

Huo Xunli was not surprised, he didn't even lift his eyelids, looked at the knife, stroked the blade with his hand, and said, "What a handsome knife."

"Even if Liu Che searched all over the world for the fine iron powder of this forging knife, he couldn't find so much. The ones brought from Da Yueshi were all used in this knife. How dare you want to beat it into a knife? , if you want a knife, you can do it as you wish. It took a year to find a blacksmith, make the blade, and sharpen the body of the knife. It took a year to make it, but the owner of the knife returned it without using it once. You give it back. Me, what am I doing with it?"

Li Dongqing said: "Good things should be reserved for those who deserve them. I don't deserve them."

Huo Xunli finally looked up at him and said, "It's not that you're not worthy, it's that you dare not use it."

This is also true. Li Dongqing has no way to refute it, and he doesn't want to refute it. He doesn't want to go back too late and make Ning Hechen think about it, so he cut to the point and said: "I want to keep Ning Hechen, it is impossible to hand him over to him." Liu Che, what do you want to do?"

Huo Xunli shook his head and smiled wryly, but did not answer him.

Li Dongqing said: "You know, I won't make things difficult for you. If you don't want to conflict with the Han court, I won't cause trouble for you here."

Huo Xunli said: "I've been waiting for you for a day, and I want to wait until you leave. What I'm afraid of is hearing you say such things. It feels like a needle is pricking my heart."

She actually didn't understand why Ning and Chen were always more important in Li Dongqing's heart. Obviously, Ning and Chen had done nothing and paid nothing. No matter how this account was calculated, it was Yueshi who won.

Huo Xunli whispered, "Why?"

"Ning Hechen made his own decision. He showed up in the Battle of Tunbeihai for his friend. He never thought that this day would happen?" Huo Xunli asked, "Why should I, Yuezhi, be responsible for his recklessness? .I asked you to help him, and I did my best. You didn’t handle this matter well, and you got to where you are today. What did I do wrong?”

Li Dongqing lost this account no matter what. He had already admitted it, so he lowered his head and said, "I have no other choice."

Huo Xunli said: "So what if you hand him over to Liu Che? Liu Che will never kill him. You don't want to let him go. It's not for Ning and Chen, but for your own selfishness!"

Li Dongqing raised his eyes and said, "That's not it, it's not for me. Liu Che even killed his own generals, why didn't he kill Ning and Chen? I can't take the risk. If you say Liu Che won't kill him, that's just your own guess." of."

Huo Xunli was aggressive and asked, "Do you dare to say that you have no selfishness at all?"

Li Dongqing stopped talking.

"Sure enough," Huo Xunli leaned on the window tiredly, and said, "Yueshi doesn't know you well, you white-eyed wolf."

These words were too harsh, Li Dongqing endured it and did not refute.

Huo Xunli was silent for a long time, no one spoke for a while, a girl came up to pour tea, she glanced at Li Dongqing, Li Dongqing didn't look at it at first, but the girl glanced at him slowly, and he glanced at him , With just one glance, I recognized it as a girl, the little girl from the neighbor's house when I was in Qilao Village.

After Li Dongqing came to Dongou, he didn't meet her a few times, but only in a hurry.

Huo Xunli said to her, "Go down."

The girl looked at him again, and left with the tray in her arms.

Huo Xunli said: "In this situation, tell me, how can Ning and Chen be kept safe? What do you want me to do?"

Liu Che stared at him fiercely. He had just won a battle and was in high spirits. No one could stop his way.It is impossible for the King of Dongou to oppose Liu Che for the Yueshi, and it is impossible for the Yueshi to keep Ning and Chen safe.Everyone wants to push Ning and Chen out.

Li Dongqing said: "I know there is no way, I can take him away."

The big singer was extremely tired, and said with a smile: "You guys are gone, it seems to have fulfilled us, but if the Yue family can't hand over someone, will Liu Che let us go?"

This is clearly a deadlock.

Li Dongqing knelt down on the collapsed bed, remained silent for a long time, and said after a while: "In fact, I rarely regret anything in my life, but there is one thing that I do regret."

Li Dongqing said: "When swallowing Beihai, I shouldn't let anyone go."
