Li Qinghuan

Song Li was a little surprised, but as soon as he looked up, he fell into Ji Qing's eyes. His tone was solemn and sincere, as if he was solemnly making a promise, but also as if he was simply making Song Li believe in him.

Song Li nodded, he believed it.

Strange to say, the two of them have not known each other for long, not even very close, but Song Li has an inexplicable trust in Ji Qing, he believes what he says.And it's the kind of innate, unrestrained trust.

Song Li hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did we meet somewhere?"

Ji Qing froze for a moment, and immediately shook his head in denial: "No."

Song Li raised his hand to support his chin, and looked at him suspiciously. He didn't see anything for a long time, so he could only reluctantly think that maybe it was fate.

The breeze blows across the sparkling water and blows into the gazebo, adding a bit of freshness to the early summer morning. The two people drinking in the pavilion, one in a black robe like ink, and the other in a white dress better than snow, are extremely gentle and pure.

After a long silence, Song Li turned his gaze to the pond, and suddenly said, "Da Wei can't go on like this."

There was an inexplicable tacit understanding between the two, as if he didn't need to explain to Ji Qing why he knew why he said this, so he didn't find it abrupt, and just nodded: "That's right."

The founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty was a general who guarded the place in the previous dynasty.In the last years of the former dynasty, when the monarch was licentious and the people were living in dire straits, Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty revolted in Yanzhou, overthrew the chaotic Yin Dynasty at one stroke, and established himself as king.

After several generations of wise monarchs made great efforts to achieve the current prosperity.The Great Wei established the country with martial arts, and it stands to reason that martial virtues should be respected. However, after the founding of the country, Taizu removed the generals who rebelled with him one by one with different charges. Instead, he praised the literati very much. Followed down, so far formed the current situation.

Although the country is rich, it does not have the ability to protect this wealth. Although there are many troops, the imperial court oppresses the generals in every possible way.

The imperial court despised martial arts, and the people naturally looked down on martial arts practitioners. Not only did martial arts masters become low-class people, but even martial arts classics were burned to the very last among the people. Drowning, if you go to the government, you may even lose your life.The strength of the army is not as good as that of the previous generation, and the children of the nobles are expressly prohibited from learning kung fu other than riding and archery. Moreover, because in the previous dynasties, the princes of the Song family revolted, the royal family specially issued a ban on martial arts. Kung fu other than shooting is directly charged as treason.

The military power of the Great Wei was weak, but the Hu people in the north were strong and powerful, and they had great intentions to go south. In recent years, they have become more and more arrogant. They dare not go south for the time being because they are afraid of the old general He and the Red Wing Army in his hands.

In fact, many people know that if the Great Wei does not improve its military strength, sooner or later it will be ruled by the Hu people in the Central Plains. It's just that most of them are addicted to the temporary peace and don't want to admit it.

Song Li didn't believe that Song Duan didn't know this, but he didn't understand why Song Duan didn't do something to strengthen the army.

Being born in the royal family was a constraint for Song Li. He was restrained by the military ban and could not gallop on the battlefield like General He for the rest of his life.But he still can't suppress his instinct, he has to do what he loves again at the risk of beheading, otherwise this life will be a waste of time for him.

Even if his identity trapped him in the cage of Yu Du, he would not regret being able to do something he likes. At least he could plan a strategy in his dream to step on the yellow sand and guard the mountains and rivers with golden arms and iron horses.

"It's a problem that anyone with a discerning eye can see, big brother, why... oh..." This kind of helplessness made Song Li quite anxious, "I'm ignorant, I don't understand why..."

Ji Qing took a sip of his wine and said, "Your Highness, don't underestimate yourself. I wonder if Your Highness would like to hear my thoughts?"

Song Li was like a bright mirror, he just didn't want to open his mouth. He wanted to see what Ji Qing could say, so he said, "Of course I would."

Ji Qing curled his lips into a smile, and said lightly: "The emperor's concerns are nothing more than imperial power. The strength of the army needs to be improved, but definitely not now."

Song Li squinted his eyes, finding it interesting, and asked back, "You mean my grandfather?"

Ji Qing nodded and said no more.They are all smart people, needless to say anything.

Seeing that the other party was so honest, Song Li didn't hide anymore, and said directly: "But my grandfather is also the grandfather of my imperial brother?"

Ji Qing: "Your Highness doesn't know if he's not in court. In the eyes of kings, family affection is never the most important thing."

Song Li probably knew it in his heart, so he didn't pretend to be crazy and asked more questions.

Ji Qing looked at Song Li and sighed softly. Song Li was born in the emperor's house. If possible, he hoped that Song Li would never have to understand.

"His Highness likes to read military books?"

Song Li didn't intend to deceive Ji Qing, and he couldn't, so he nodded, "I like it very much."

Ji Qing: "It's easy to get a thousand troops, but it's hard to find a general. If you hadn't been born in the Great Wei Dynasty and lived in the royal family, you would have been able to realize your ambition."

Song Li twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled forcedly: "If I hadn't been born in the Great Wei Dynasty, I wouldn't have liked military books either. It doesn't matter what my ambition is, as long as the mountains and rivers are safe."

Ji Qing smiled: "In this situation, it is impossible for the country to be safe and sound. The barbarians are staring at Wei, and the situation of Wei is really not optimistic. Except for General He, Wei has no generals to take action. .”

Song Li looked up at Ji Qing, feeling impulsive for no reason, and whispered, "I...don't want to stay in Yuducheng, I want to go to the border...but...ah."

Ji Qing looked into Song Li's eyes, which were hot and bright. There were his deep worries about Wei and the helpless sadness of being a prince.Ji Qing lowered his eyes and smiled, the first time he saw Song Li in Yinchun Tower, he knew that this little prince was by no means a playboy.

Song Li is the prince, and he is Song Duan's younger brother. Great Wei is very strict with the clan, and Song Duan is very suspicious. Let alone practicing martial arts and reading martial arts scriptures, Song Li just touches his favorite weapons in private. All of them may be accused of treason by Yushitai.

He understood Song Li's helplessness, but he didn't have the ability to change the status quo.

Song Li sighed deeply, hid the emotions in his eyes, spread his hands with a smile, and said, "My difficulty...Young Master is also clear, so please keep the matter of the book a secret for me."

Ji Qing raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Of course."

Song Li: "At least the current Great Wei doesn't look too bad. You can still get peace for a while by giving away princesses and treasures."

Ji Qing looked at Song Li who was almost lonely, and didn't know how to comfort him.I had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and lower my head to hide my inexplicable panic.

"Your Highness...you...if you believe me..." Ji Qingqiang suppressed his emotions and said softly, "If you need any help, just come to me, and you can tell me any books you want, and I will do my best to help you found."

at all costs…

Song Li was a little shocked when he heard this, and whispered, "Why do you..."

Ji Qing didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Song Li paused, then shook his head: "It's nothing, I just think it's good to be honest with each other like this."

……

Yuan Xi stood outside Zhanlu Garden from morning to night. To be honest, he wondered how long these two people had known each other?So much to say?Could this be the legendary love at first sight, never seeing each other later?

Yuan Xi's side was bored, but Ji Qing and Song Li had a good chat, and they didn't come out of Zhanlu Garden until sunset.Seeing his senior brother come out, Yuan Xi followed immediately, but found that he couldn't get in the way at all, so he could only follow behind and listen quietly.

After Song Li was sent away, Yuan Xicai returned to normal from a transparent person.

Yuan Xi: "Brother, do you want to take him with you when you go to Jiangnan?"

Ji Qing nodded.

Yuan Xi said rather sadly: "What about me?"

Ji Qing wondered, "What does he have to do with you?"

Yuan Xi: "..." It seems to be the same, Ji Qing never took him with him when he went to Jiangnan.

Ji Qing: "When will Master come back? I'm going to Jiangnan after my birthday."

Yuan Xi: "Is it so early this year?"

Ji Qing: "Yes."

Yuan Xi nodded: "Okay, I received the carrier pigeon he released yesterday, saying that it has already set off from Sichuan."

Ji Qing: "That's good."

Yuan Xi: "Don't worry, although my father is unreliable, he won't miss the business."

Ji Qing smiled bitterly: "Master is my only elder."

Yuan Xi patted Ji Qing's shoulder and changed the subject: "Brother, let's go eat first."

Ji Qing looked at him and nodded: "Okay."

……

Because of Song Li, Ji Qing drank more wine today, returned to Zhanlu Garden after dinner, leaned on the railing beside the gazebo and stared at the moon in a daze, the moonlight was as cool as water, shining on Ji Qing in a white robe From his body, it seemed that he was lonely and desolate.

In fact, Ji Qing seldom expressed his emotions in front of others. Perhaps he had drunk too much today to show a bit of bitterness in Yuan Xi's face. Yuan Xi and his master Yuan Qingyang knew his background and had always been considerate of him carefully. Since he became sensible, he also carefully hid his emotions, so as not to worry the two people who still love him in this world.

Today's cold heart is clear, but the stamina is very strong. Ji Qing drank more than three altars today, and now he is dizzy, leaning on the railing, not wanting to move, and fell asleep just like that.

In his dream, he went back to that cold winter day when his mother died of illness, and the beautifully dressed woman brought an "expert" who claimed that he killed his mother and ordered his father to drive him out of the house. He, who was still guarding the spirit of his mother, was beaten heavily and left in front of the gate. No matter how much he cried and cried, no one answered.He had no choice but to leave with injuries all over his body, walking alone on the cold and windy street.

Ji Qing woke up from his dream and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead... He hasn't dreamed of these scenes for many years, tonight... Maybe it's because he met Song Li.Ji Qing came back to his senses, and when he looked up, he realized that he was still sitting on the edge of the gazebo. He tried his best to drive the dream out of his mind, and went back to the house in full clothes.

Ji Qing had already slept and had a dream, but Song Li was still lying on the bed and staring at Fang Liang. After talking with Ji Qing today, he felt more and more that his thoughts were correct. As a man, he was born in the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is his duty to bring peace to all generations. He should work hard for it all his life. The pen is safe for the world.

In all fairness, his reluctance is only to be a noble and delicate flower in Yudu, and he is not reconciled to be an idle prince who grows flowers, amuses birds, composes poems and lyrics like his second brother Song Kan, but he was born in the royal family helplessly. The art of war has to be done carefully so as not to be discovered, which makes Song Li, who has been proud since childhood, feel very useless.

After thinking about the important affairs of his family and country, Song Li began to think about Ji Qing again. He still felt that he had met Ji Qing before, but when he asked Ji Qing today, Ji Qing brushed the question aside and refused to answer it directly. Song Li had no choice but to give up.

But His Royal Highness Yu Wang has always boasted that his intuition is as good as heaven's fortune, and Ji Qing said that if he doesn't know him, he doesn't know him?Whether others believe it or not, Ji Qingcheng admits it or not, if he thinks he knows it, he must know it.

Ji Qing didn't have much contact with him, but Song Li concluded that the other party would never harm him when he saw Ji Qing for the first time, otherwise he wouldn't let Ji Qing take Baozi away.

Ji Qing should be the same, otherwise he wouldn't let Song Li enter his room without any grudges. If someone saw the books on the ancient shelf at that time and magnified the matter, no matter which one it was, he might be taken. Life.After Song Li fell asleep, Ji Qing took Bo Gujia back into the secret room. He expected that someone would come to Song Li, and he had to be wary of those who came to Song Li, but he never thought of guarding against Song Li from the beginning to the end.

Song Li's trust in Ji Qing has no basis, it is entirely based on his amazing intuition, this kind of trust is only for his own mother and Ji Qing, the mother has a kindness to Song Li, and was brought up by her own mother since he was a child. You can distrust him, but you can rely on your intuition when it comes to Ji Qing.

While warning himself that he must be cautious, he couldn't help but believe in Ji Qing. The entangled His Royal Highness Yu Wang rolled around on the bed, and the quilt was kicked to the ground by him. Song Li sat up anxiously, picked up the The teapot next to the bed was about to pour a glass of water for himself, but after scanning for a week, he couldn't find the teacup, so he lifted the lid of the pot and poured a few sips of herbal tea.

After drinking, he fell straight back on the bed, got up after a while, picked up the quilt that he had kicked on the ground and covered it on the bed, forced himself to close his eyes and ended his stare at Fangliang.
