In the first sentence of meeting, the two had their own thoughts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hou Junji was stunned.

He said "you shouldn't come", in fact, it was just a sigh, this sentence has no other meaning, in the eyes of Hou Junji, Li Su is a benefactor, and the benefactor went to the door of Hou's house at this critical juncture, Hou Junji really didn't want to see him, so he said "You shouldn't come" when they met.

And Li Su's sentence "I'm already here", this answer is not simple, and Hou Junji instantly interpreted many layers of meaning.

seems to be a very normal answer, but combined with this sensitive juncture, Li Su's sentence seems to express the meaning of "I already know everything", and it carries an indescribable antagonism.

"I'm already here" means that whatever you decide to do, I'm going to work against you, and it's uncomfortable not to do it.

Hou Junji stood at the door, staring at Li Su's gentle and warm face, every question and answer was ambiguous and vague, and Hou Junji didn't know what Li Su knew and how much he knew.

The shock flashed away, after all, Hou Junji was a general with a thunderous face in his chest, so he quickly recovered his cold and iron-like expression, his body was slightly sideways, and said, "Let's go in the door." ”

Li Su smiled and stretched out his hand: "Uncle Hou, please first." ”

Hou Junji nodded, not polite, turned around and stepped into the door first.

The guests and hosts in the front hall sat down, Hou Junji's hospitality made Li Su very satisfied, there was no bad problem of a big family setting up a banquet as soon as the guests came, and even a glass of water was not served, Hou Junji looked like he was in a hurry to send him away, Li Su smiled silently, it seems that Hou Junji not only failed to be a man, but also failed to be a host, no wonder he was not treated by many colleagues in the court.

"Gift or visit?" Hou Junji is very straightforward, and his opening is a business-like attitude like going through formalities at the counter.

Li Su grinned: "...... Pass by. ”

Hou Junji squinted at him for a moment, gradually relieved his heart, and said with a smile: "Although you saved my life, I am also your elder, I don't bring a gift when I come to the door, aren't you afraid that the old man will be surprised?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Uncle Hou always talks about saving his life, the little nephew is really just doing it, if you can't let go of this little kindness in your heart, it is better to give a valuable gift to the little nephew, how about our uncle and nephew offset it in twos and twos?" ”

Hou Junji snorted, his face was gloomy: "The old man's life is only worth a heavy gift? ”

“…… Two copies are fine. ”

Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You kid is really a wonderful person, no wonder Cheng Lao Pifu and his gang are always full of praise for you, and no matter how bastard words come out of your mouth, they are full of cute wit......"

Li Su grinned and said: "It's the elders who show love, fortunately, the little nephew is young, and he took advantage of the fact that he didn't arrive, and seized the opportunity to pretend to be clever with a tender face, and in a few years, this face can't be pretended to be tender, and the elders will really hate me." ”

Hou Junji laughed and said: "Even if you pretend, even if you are fifty years old and still pretending to be tender, at least the old man still buys it in front of him." ”

Between a few words, the slightly depressed atmosphere of the guest and the host turned cloudy and sunny for some reason, and the two talked and laughed and got along very well.

After chatting a few words, Hou Junji stroked his beard and said slowly: "Say, what are you doing when you come to the old man's mansion today, don't fool me with any nonsense like passing by." ”

Li Su blinked and said with a smile: "In addition to passing by, the little nephew did not know something, and he specially went to Uncle Hou's door to ask for advice......

"Even if you say it, the old man knows everything."

Li Su sighed and said: "Uncle Hou has been thinking about it behind closed doors these days, in fact, the little nephew doesn't often go out, Uncle Hou knows, Your Majesty has appointed me to Shangshu Province, saying that it is a regular job, in fact, it is a letter messenger, the little nephew is naturally lazy, and he should be ashamed of being on an errand, there is no day, the errand is just mixed up, most of the time the little nephew is studying at home, and last night he read a story, but there is a doubt in it, thinking about it, I know that Uncle Hou is a famous general in the world who is both civil and military, So the little nephew took the liberty to come to the door today to ask for advice. ”

Hou Junji raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "The old man is ashamed, he has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has a lot of experience in leading troops to conquer, but is this studying...... Let's talk about it, and see if the old man can explain your doubts for you. ”

Li Su smiled: "In this way, the little nephew is welcome, last night the little nephew was reading, he read the "Book of Sui", and he happened to read the 'Biography of Wei Ding', well, Uncle Hou knows the person 'Wei Ding', right?" ”

Hou Junji's brows gradually furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "The old man knows a little bit about it, 'Wei Ding', a famous man of the Liang and Chen dynasties, and later Sui won the world, voted for the Sui minister, tired of the official to the Taifu Qing, and appointed Shangyi with the three divisions, in addition to the history of the Guangzhou Thorn, this person is well-versed in history, and through yin and yang physiognomy, is a good person, has political achievements for officials, and is not a good person or a bad person, but it is indeed a generation of celebrities." ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Uncle Hou is really knowledgeable, when the little nephew read Wei Ding's biography last night, he saw a little story about Wei Ding, the twelfth year of the emperor, when Wei Ding was appointed to remove the history of Gwangju Thorn, there was a strong man under his rule, he was well-dressed on weekdays, he was kind and generous, and he was quite popular, but he secretly did not do evil, and there were often robberies and illegal things, so Wei Ding found this Haoqiang and said a word to him, this sentence is too profound, and the little nephew does not understand it very well, so I want to ask Uncle Hou to help teach him......"

Hou Junji looked at him calmly and said, "What did he say?" ”

The smile on Li Su's face gradually retracted at some point, looked directly into his eyes fearlessly, and said slowly, word by word: "Wei Ding said, 'Qing Ben Beauty, why should I be a thief?'" The little nephew is shallow, and he really doesn't know what to say, so he asks Uncle Hou for advice. ”

The flat ground is thundering, and the wind and clouds are abrupt!

Hou Junji's face changed drastically, he slapped the table suddenly, pointed at Li Su and shouted angrily: "What a bastard boy!" ”

Li Su's face was not afraid, and he even looked at him with a smile, his expression was unwavering.

Hou Junji was the opposite, at this moment his cheeks were red, his beard was angry, he looked like crazy, and his eyes stared at Li Su fiercely as if he was eating people.

The peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, with Li Su's words, disappeared in an instant, and the front hall of the Hou family was tense.

The two confronted each other for an unknown amount of time, Hou Junji's red cheeks gradually turned white, a look of panic flashed in his eyes, and finally he slowly knelt down and sat down, and his body was like a collapse and no longer had any strength.

"You...... How much do you know? Hou Junji's voice was hoarse and ugly, like sawn rotten wood.

"I know everything you should know...... Li Su sighed and said: "Uncle Hou, I know that you have a monstrous hatred in your heart, but because of hatred, it is disloyal and unkind, and it is a gamble with the lives of the whole family, Uncle Hou, the hatred in your heart...... Is it worth exchanging the lives of the whole family for a catharsis? ”

Hou Junji looked at Fang Liang with distracted eyes, and muttered: "I saddled the horse for him, fought in the south and the north, destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom, controlled the Silk Road, and took out all the merits, any of which was a great achievement, but he said to me to abandon it, just to appease the anger of a few remnants of the country, and then offered me to the altar, such a monarch, what is the point of me being loyal to him as soon as I take effect?" ”

Li Su sighed: "Uncle Hou thinks there is a chance to win? ”

Hou Junji smiled bitterly: "There is no chance of winning, and you will lose." ”

"If you know that you will lose, why do you insist on going your own way?"

"It's already an outcast, it's better to live than to die, so what's the point of dying?"

Li Su nodded, he roughly understood Hou Junji's feelings, in the first half of his life, he thought that he was infinitely beautiful, and the servants respected the heroes of Conglong, and indeed made countless contributions to Li Shimin, so Hou Junji has always been arrogant and lonely, even if the relationship with Li Jing and others was very stiff, he never cared, because he believed that Li Shimin would not fail him, as long as he had the emperor's favor, he could ignore all his colleagues, but in the battle to destroy Gaochang, Li Shimin dismissed him and exiled him in order to appease the anger of the public, this cruel fact finally made him realize, It turned out that he was just a chess piece in the hands of the emperor, who used it when it should be used, and mercilessly discarded it when it should be discarded.

This fact completely knocked down Hou Junji's loyalty and self-esteem, arrogant people always have a particularly strong self-esteem, when he thought of being exiled back to Chang'an, those colleagues he didn't look down on on him secretly gloated and even disdainful, Hou Junji's hatred deepened, hatred finally overwhelmed reason, strong self-esteem did not allow himself to be like a ridiculous harlequin, silently endured ridicule and sneers from all sides, so Hou Junji participated in the prince's rebellion, he urgently needed to do something big to change the world, One is to appease the hatred in his heart, and the other is to prove his skills to those who mock him.

Knowing this, Li Su's gaze towards Hou Junji was already a little pity.

"Uncle Hou, I know that you have no ambitions, you have become the prince of the country, even if the prince's rebellion is successful, all he can give you is the prime minister of the county, no matter how high the status is, how high can it be? What's more, his hope of success is extremely slim, Uncle Hou has been killed for a long time, and he can see the enemy and me more clearly than anyone else, you follow the prince to rebel, it's just a matter of self-esteem, but for your self-esteem, even the lives of your parents, wives and children are staked, is it really worth it? ”

Hou Junji sneered: "It seems that you are really dead set on Your Majesty." ”

Li Su sighed: "I have never felt how loyal I am, it's just that people live a lifetime, after all, they have a belief, live for themselves, live for their families, it is a way to live, whether they are afraid of things, they are responsible, after half a life of heat and cold, who can really dominate the world without scruples, happy and hateful?" I can't do it, because I have a burden on my shoulders, Uncle Hou might as well pat his heart, can you really do it? The prince was doomed to defeat before he launched, and you became his funeral object, and since then the Hou family has been gone, and the Hou family has disappeared forever in this world, all because of one decision made by you. Not to mention how unbearable you will be written by historians in the history books thousands of years later. ”

Hou Junji was silent when he heard this, his face was blue and white, and the hands resting on his knees were sometimes clenched into fists and sometimes claws, obviously struggling extremely fiercely.

Li Su sighed and said: "Uncle Hou, I have saved your life, this time, I am willing to save your life again, you just have to stretch out your hand, I will pull you back, the prince's rebellion has not yet been launched, even I know in advance, how many chances do you think he can win?" How big a net has been laid in Chang'an City, just waiting for the prince to drill in, I really don't want to fall into the net and you, the little nephew is all about it, Chang'an is about to change, I will see your decision. ”

After speaking, Li Su stood up, looked at him deeply, and then turned to leave. (To be continued.) )
