"Li Xiu, are you sure that something will happen in the south?" Qin Qiong asked very seriously when he heard this, under the influence of Li Shimin, he also valued Li Xiu very much, because he believed that with Li Shimin's eyes, he would never look at the wrong person.

"It's true, during the great cause of the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang once defeated Tuyuhun and occupied most of their territory, Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun was defeated, but Fu Yun was ambitious, taking advantage of the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty to recover the land again, so that Tuyuhun restored the country, and the national strength was also quite strong, if my expectations are right, within a month or two, Tuyuhun will definitely have a big move!" Li Xiu also said very seriously at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Qin Qiong couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately stood up and hugged his fists and said: "The military situation is urgent, Qin must go back to report to His Royal Highness King Qin, and leave here!" ”

Ma Ye also understood Qin Qiong's temperament, and he didn't keep it at the moment, so he personally stood up and sent him away, but after Qin Qiong left, he looked at Li Xiu with a smile on his face and said: "Boy, this is not like your usual character, aren't you most afraid of provoking the King of Qin and the court, why did you take the initiative to remind him so kindly this time?" ”

"Uncle Ma, you don't know me too well, how can a person like me, who serves the country and the people, sit idly by and ignore the rebellion in the south?" Li Xiu said with a sad face at this time, and seemed to be very disappointed by Ma Ye's misunderstanding.

"Really?" Ma Ye couldn't help but be a little suspicious when he saw Li Xiu's sad appearance, but thinking about Li Xiu's previous personality made him more determined in his guess, not that he didn't believe Li Xiu, but that Li Xiu's previous performance was really unbelievable!

Seeing Ma Ye's suspicious eyes, Li Xiu shook his head sadly again, and didn't say anything, but he sighed helplessly in his heart, Ma Ye really knew himself too well, it seemed that he didn't want to deceive him in the future.

However, no matter how much Ma Ye doubted it, Li Xiu would never tell him that the reason why he took the initiative to remind Li Shimin was mainly to pit Chai Shao, because in Chai Shao's military career, the conquest of Tuyuhun should be one of his most effective military achievements, but if Li Xiu reminded Li Shimin, it just so happened that Li Shimin was now being pressed by Li Jiancheng again, and he urgently needed military merits to prove himself, and then he was likely to run to attack Tuyuhun in person, so that there would be nothing to do with Chai Shao.

"Xiu'er, your words can make General Qin believe without doubt?" At this moment, the bearded guest who had been watching suddenly asked a little incredulously, in his opinion, this kind of military affairs should be more cautious, but just Li Xiu's words, Qin Qiong ran to report to Li Shimin without any doubt, this is a bit too child's play, right?

"Haha~, Brother Zhang doesn't have to doubt it, Li Xiu, this kid is very ghostly, if he is not sure, he will never say it, for example, last time he said that the prince would definitely be able to catch Liu Heimin, but King Qin didn't believe it, so the two made a bet, but they didn't expect that a few days later, the prince would send Liu Heimin's head to Chang'an!" Ma Ye explained with a laugh at this time.

Hearing Ma Ye's words, the bearded guest looked at Li Xiu with even more surprise, originally he thought that Li Jing was good enough, so he taught him the art of war at the beginning, but he didn't expect Li Jing to have a more excellent son, it seems that he was a little too reckless before, with Li Xiu's temperament, he should not be so impulsive and go out of the house, there must be many hidden secrets that he doesn't know.

Qin Qiong left, the bearded guest came to Li Xiu and had something to discuss, Ma Ye was also very interested, chatted a few words and left, but only Li Xiu and the bearded guest were left by the river, at this time it was already dusk, the shadows of the two were stretched by the river for a long time, and I don't know what the reason was, the two did not speak for a while, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

"Uncle, you should have listened to your mother's words before you came, right?" Li Xiu suddenly said at this time, the last time the Red Whisk Girl came to him, she said that there was a person who could make Li Jing obedient to come to Chang'an, and now it seems that he must be the bearded guest in front of him.

"Yes, the third sister is very worried about the conflict between your father and son, so after seeing me, she found an opportunity to tell me about it, at that time I felt that there was no unsolvable grudge between father and son, so I didn't listen to the third sister's explanation, so I came to take you back to see your father, but now it does seem a little reckless!" The bearded man took another sip of the spirit, and he was very fond of it, and for those who lived at sea all year round, wine was almost a necessity of their lives.

"Alas, mother, she really doesn't give up, but I really don't want to go back to that home again, and I ask my uncle to let my little nephew go!" Li Xiu sighed at first, and then bowed his hand to the bearded guest, he really couldn't think of any good way to get out, so he could only tell the truth, hoping to make the bearded guest no longer wade into this troubled water.

"Hugh, can you tell me what is going on with you and your father, how it is just because of that woman's words, then it is your fault!" The bearded guest also said with a serious face at this time, he is not a person who gives up easily, not to mention that he promised the red whisk girl before, so he wants to find out the reason why Li Xiu left the house before making plans.

Seeing that the bearded guest still refused to give up easily, Li Xiu had no choice but to explain: "Since Uncle you know the reason why I left the house in the first place, then I won't say much, but later my mother personally came to persuade me, and I decided to go back to Li's Mansion out of affection, but I didn't expect to see my mother's sister being locked up in a cold Buddhist hall......"

Li Xiu talked about what happened to him when he saw Qi Niang that day, and his expression became more and more excited, especially when Li Jing didn't ask about it, and when he wanted to beat him as soon as he saw him, he also showed an angry expression on his face, and from that moment on, there was no longer any family affection between their father and son.

The bearded guest listened to Li Xiu's narration, his face slowly became gloomy, and finally he suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "Confused! Second brother, he's so confused! If he can use a little bit of his shrewdness on the battlefield to use for housework, it won't cause your father and son to turn against each other! ”

"Hehe, uncle, you don't have to be too angry, my personality is also relatively strong, and the same is true of your second brother, if two strong people stay together, there will definitely be conflicts, so it may not be a good thing for me to leave the Li Mansion!" Li Xiu persuaded with a smile at this time, he really felt that leaving the Li Mansion was really a wise decision now.

Hearing that Li Xiu didn't even want to call Li Jing his father anymore, the bearded guest couldn't help but be silent at this time, and only after a while did he speak: "I believe that Xiu'er, you won't lie to me, now it seems that it is indeed your father who has gone too far, and I don't have the face to take you back again, otherwise it will only cause you and the second brother to have a greater conflict." ”

"Uncle Yingming, if I go back today, I'm afraid it will really be out of control!" Li Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the bearded guest had given up the idea of taking him back.

"But although I won't take you back, you also have to remember that no matter what happens, your father is still your father, and the blood and family relationship will never be severed!" The bearded guest said seriously again at this time, he was really worried that Li Xiu had a grudge against Li Jing, although Li Xiu's influence was still very small now, but he was still very young, and there were infinite possibilities in the future, in case Li Xiu gained power in the future, he was afraid that Li Xiu would embarrass Li Jing.

"Uncle is too worried, do you think I look like that kind of person?" Li Xiu also guessed the meaning of the bearded guest's words at once, and said with a wry smile at the moment, although he and Li Jing broke off the relationship, they were not enough to retaliate against the Li family, and even the hateful Mrs. Xing, he didn't bother to pay attention to it anymore, it can be said that in his heart, he had completely ignored the entire Li Mansion.

"That's good, I'll help you talk about it when the third sister is there, lest she do bad things with good intentions!" The bearded guest spoke immediately, but then he looked at Li Xiu curiously, and only after a moment did he speak again, "Xiu'er, I'm curious where you got the ability to let people like Qin Qiong and Ma Sanbao convince you?" ”

"This ...... Haha...... "Li Xiu had another headache when he heard this, why does everyone like to get to the bottom of it?" It's like a chef who cooks delicious food, and you, as a guest, just eat it, why do you have to meet the chef and ask where did the other person learn his cooking skills? Everyone has their own secrets, okay?

"Uncle, little nephew heard that there are many pirates there on Chikushi Island, will it be a little unsafe for you to live there?" Li Xiu finally changed the topic very bluntly, he couldn't answer the bearded guest's question at all, so he had to do this.

Seeing that Li Xiu was reluctant to answer this question, and he also knew that there were many pirates on Tsukushi Island, this made the bearded guest also look at him with some surprise, and then he spoke: "The sea is a place that is not governed by any law, so as long as you get to the sea, anything can happen, for example, maritime merchants and pirates are actually the same group, when they encounter a weak fleet, maritime merchants will also become pirates, and Tsukushi Island is full of maritime merchants from various countries, of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are pirates!" ”

"Uncle, there is no one else now, you and to be honest, those pirates on Tsukushi Island, no, are all the maritime merchants under your control?" Li Xiu stepped forward with a smile and asked, but the bearded guest didn't ask, which made him feel relaxed again.

"Hehe, no wonder General Ma said that your kid has a lot of intestines and a lot of intestines, and you talk in circles, don't you just want to ask me if I'm the biggest pirate leader?" The bearded guest glanced at Li Xiu at this time and said, although the two had not known each other for a long time, he felt that Li Xiu's personality was very suitable for his appetite.

"That's what you said, uncle." Li Xiu smiled at this time, although the reputation of pirates is not good, but in fact, they are also the first pioneers on the sea, but I don't know where the bearded keeping, the leader of the great pirates, has been, if it is just to stay in the sea area of the Wa Kingdom, it would be a pity.
