The runaway general of the black-bellied book

After all, he was still scruples about being in front of his son, Li Yan and his wife did not get close for too long, and then returned to normal.

Mrs. Li looked at her son with a very serious tone: "Congyi, do you know? Mother has always felt that when two people get along, whether they are friends or husband and wife... the most important thing is to trust each other. Find someone you can 100% trust, such a person is worthy of your marriage."

Mother's words seemed to have something to say, but they seemed to be just a simple warning.

Li Yuze was stunned for a moment, then lost his mind and said: "So it's like this..."

Mrs. Li saw that her son seemed to have realized something, and her expression seemed to be even more confused, and she didn't want to force him to figure out all the truths in it now.

She stroked Li Yuze's hair and said softly: "Aren't you tired today? If you are tired, go and rest earlier. Ask Jinbao to put hot water for you, and take a good bath today. Tomorrow Don't get up early to practice, okay? I don't understand martial arts, so take a day off...it shouldn't matter, right?"

Li Yuze shook his head, and sighed again: "It's okay, I've practiced for so many years, and this day is not bad. But...to tell the truth, my child is indeed a little tired during this time."

Li Yuze has always shown a calm and reliable image in front of his parents.In many cases, this kind of composure even exceeds what he should be at his own age.

Hearing his son, who has always been upright and extremely worry-free, say "I'm so tired", Li Yan and his wife were not worried, but also blamed themselves.

——Li Yuze was far away in Shuobei, and the family letter originally contained more news of good news rather than bad news.Sometimes they unconsciously regard this as the real situation of their son... They should pay more attention to Li Yuze.

The son was not by their side in the first place, and there was no one around him who could speak his mind—it's not difficult to imagine how their son Li Yuze must have lived during those difficult days in Shuobei... Lonely and difficult.

Mrs. Li straightened her son's slightly disheveled sideburns, looked at the young man who was already much taller than her tenderly, and said softly: "Mother originally wanted to tell you about the flower feast... If Yi'er is tired Let’s not go, shall we? When your father enters the palace tomorrow, he will return to His Majesty, and let your elder brother take Zitong with him. Rest well at home these few days, and I won’t let Jin Bao and the others wake you up It's too early. If you want to practice martial arts, you can get up by yourself. If you want something, just tell mother or father. If you want to eat, let Uncle Fu order the kitchen to do it."

Li Yan also nodded: "That's right, Yi'er should be more comfortable in his own home, don't hold back his temper, just be at ease."

Li Yuze nodded, leaning on his father's shoulder, holding his mother's hand with one hand, showing a rare gesture of dependence, as if he had returned to the carefree childhood when he was still in the mansion.

He was in a state of disarray right now, feeling like he was about to do something he shouldn't have done.

It seems that there is an invisible boundary hanging in front of the road he is about to go. If he makes a wrong step, Li Yuze will have to pay... irreversible consequences.

The matter of the flower viewing banquet made him very upset, and because of his unhappiness with Fang Yimin today, he suddenly couldn't figure out how to deal with his relationship with Fang Yimin.

Before everything could be figured out, Li Yuze shamefully chose to escape - he avoided going to the so-called "Flower Appreciation Banquet", avoided all topics related to love and love, and also avoided meeting...Fang Yimin.

He himself probably didn't realize that Li Yuze at this moment, when facing Fang Yimin's feelings, completely adopted a quail attitude - as a monk hitting the clock for a day, as long as Fang Yimin doesn't confess for a day, he can continue to deceive himself and others like this for a day. "Friendship".

Looking at his son's tired face, Li Yan was also a little worried, and said softly: "Congyi, if you find it difficult to deal with the court affairs, you don't need to worry too much—His Majesty trusts you a lot now, There are many things you want to do, you can let go. As for the difficult conditions of the Northland Garrison... If you want to come back and stay closer to home, Dad can talk to His Majesty again and call you back. Don't endure everything, make yourself too hard..."

Li Yan comforted his son like this, but he was not sure that Li Yuze was worried about these things.

The son thinks the conditions in the Northland are too harsh? ...Improbable.

——Li Yuze has been in that place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't shit for so many years. If he couldn't bear these hardships, he could have brought it up with Li Yan early on. Why bother to endure hardships and stand hard work for so many years?

What kind of pressure did His Majesty put on his son...?This seems to be possible!

——The son is young and promising, and he is capable in his work. He has fought beautifully in several battles in Shuobei. Even Li Yan and his wife who are far away in the capital have heard a lot of his heroic deeds.

But a higher position means greater responsibility and pressure.Or do you always say "the heights are too cold"?

As a parent, I see my children fighting on the battlefield all day, with scars and scars, and I don’t know if I can see the sun tomorrow... After all, I still can’t bear my children to suffer like this.

Do you want to intercede with His Majesty... Let him not put so much pressure on Cong Yi?

——Li Yan thought: What kind of conditions should I tell His Majesty, so that Your Majesty can make Yi'er relax?How should I persuade His Majesty better?

Li Yuze shook his head, denying his father's conjectures: "Father, the child is fine...Maybe it's just that I'm too tired today, so I'm in a trance."

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak out what was bothering him, Li Yan and his wife had nothing to do no matter how worried they were.

Mrs. Li nodded, and ordered: "Uncle Fu."

The old butler stepped forward in response, bowed and said, "Madam, what are your orders?"

"Don't disturb the second young master's sleep tomorrow, let him have a good rest in the morning." Mrs. Li frowned, and instructed, "Ask Yi'er what he wants to eat... Prepare everything he ordered for him as much as possible, small kitchen What matters most is him."

Uncle Fu hurriedly responded: "Hey, okay, okay, I'll give the order."

Mrs. Li nodded, and watched Uncle Fu take his son back to the bedroom on the east side.

Looking at the tired back of their son going away, the two couples secretly had plans in their hearts.

------

There was no one to wake up in the morning, but Li Yuze still got up before dawn - he had to get up every morning to practice martial arts, which had become a habit for many years.Even if he's a little tired these days, it's not an excuse for him to be lazy.

After finishing the last set of punches, Li Yuze took the cotton towel handed by Jin Bao and wiped his sweat.

Jin Bao smiled and said: "Second Young Master, hot water has been prepared for you. Are you going to take a bath now?"

Li Yuze nodded, and wiped his hair with a cloth towel. Seeing Jin Bao's happy face, he couldn't hide it, so he couldn't help being a little curious.

He asked: "You are so happy early in the morning, what are you doing?"

Jin Bao laughed and said, "Isn't this the young master and young lady going to a flower viewing banquet today?"

——Which pot is he not opening? Li Yuze didn't want to think about the flower viewing party anymore, but this guy kept yelling about it in front of him.

Li Yuze joked: "The two of them went to the flower viewing feast, what are you so excited about?"

"I heard Madam chatting with Miss yesterday. It seems that Miss already has a husband she likes at this flower viewing banquet..." Jin Bao blushed with excitement as if he had encountered some great happy event. , "If Miss can bring back a son-in-law from the flower viewing banquet, it will be a great joy for our whole house!"

Li Yuze nodded and said with a smile: "That's true, if Zitong can find a good husband, I don't know how happy I will be."

"I just don't know what kind of person Zitong can look up to?"

——The younger sister has never revealed the criteria for choosing a husband-in-law to anyone, so even Li Yuze, who thinks he knows her well, can't help being a little curious.

Jin Bao added with a grin: "That can't be an ordinary person! I heard from Miss yesterday that he seems to be one of the four young masters of Zhuojing!"

——Li Yuze didn't know about the other three members of Zhuojing's four princes.But there was one person that he knew, and that was his best friend...Fang Yimin.

It seems that Zilan has never mentioned anything related to Zitong...but the two of them are already close friends, and it seems normal that the other party will have contacts with Zitong?

Jin Bao's unintentional words hit the knot in Li Yuze's heart again these days.

Li Yuze's throat tightened uncontrollably, and he immediately asked, "Then you know, Zitong said... who is it?"

Jin Bao shook his head in confusion: "I don't know about this Jin Bao... But I think, the lady seems to like this one very much! When I went in to serve tea, I heard the lady say that he is one of the four young masters, and his name is different. Before I said anything, I blushed completely! I was laughed at by my wife and master!"

"Then who do you think it is?"

"Uh, what about this..." Jin Bao carefully glanced at Li Yuze's expression, "Jin Bao dare not talk nonsense!"

Li Yuze waved his hand: "It's okay, just say what you want, I won't blame you."

Jin Bao got the guarantee, he felt relieved a little, raised his head and glanced at Li Yuze quietly, and said carefully, "Didn't Master Fang come to deliver spices a few days ago? Miss seems to like it too..."

——It seems that Li Yuze is the only one who has been kept in the dark.

He handed back the drenched cloth towel to Jin Bao, and nodded in a daze: "Yes..."

Li Yuze's reaction was too strange. The person who was alive just now suddenly became depressed.

Jin Bao was afraid that there was something wrong with his answer, so he tentatively asked carefully, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yuze shook his head: "It's okay... If Zitong really finds Mr. Ruyi, it will indeed be a great joy for our family."

If Zilan becomes my brother-in-law, it seems...it should be a good thing?

——On top of the friendship between him and Fang Yimin, another layer of kinship was added. Logically speaking, it should be closer. Li Yuze has no reason to be unhappy.

But I don't know why... When he heard the news, his heart seemed to be weighed down by a heavy boulder, and he couldn't get up no matter what.

A dense pain was rampant in Li Yuze's chest, and it seemed that he couldn't get rid of it. It was even more uncomfortable than Fang Yimin's words against his will in the restaurant that day... It made Li Yuze uncomfortable.

Li Yuze realized belatedly—he seemed... to lose his best friend.
