Li Shimin couldn't remember how he left the Anlan battleship, and he only felt stiff in his knees and heavy steps along the way. From the exit of the Anlan to the boarding of another Limbo specially prepared for their Li father and son, he had always felt that Chen Kefu had been staring at him.

Finally returned to the Lingbo, the smile on Li Yuan's face was gone, and he looked around the ship. I saw that the Lingbo was only a hundred steps away from Chen Kefu's ship, Anlan. Although Chen Kefu did not send any more people up on the Lingbo, and there was only their Li family on board, but around the Lingbo was surrounded by hundreds of warships.

"Why did you say those words in front of Chen Kefu just now? Jiro. Li Yuan stood in front of his son and asked with a dark face.

"The child is just thinking about his father and my Li family. Father, it is not a wise choice to vote for Chen Kefu. Chen Kefu has long wanted to put my Li family to death, and he has never had a chance in the past. Now it's good, but my father wants to throw himself into the net and send it to the door. How could Chen Kefu miss such a good thing, I am afraid that when the time comes, our Li family will not even have a single bone left in his swallowing, and I am afraid that I will regret it in the future. Li Shimin was not afraid of his father's gaze and said solemnly.

Li Yuan sighed, his face eased a lot, turned around and sat down, pointed to the other side and said to the two sons, "Da Lang, Erlang, you can sit down too." ”

"Ancient and modern kings and hegemons, how many are really smooth sailing?" Li Yuan shook his head, he could see that his two sons were a little reluctant to let him go out of the mountain to join Chen Kefu, and even many Li Tang Wenwu courtiers were not very reluctant.

"In addition to recruiting talents, advocating literature and martial arts, being brave and decisive, sometimes what is needed more is strategy. Now we have been defeated by Yang Xuan, and besieged by Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others, and we have reached the point of life and death. Da Lang, you are familiar with internal affairs and are good at the logistics of the people. Erlang, you are familiar with military affairs, good at commanding troops, and good at fighting. Your two brothers, one humanistic and one martial, are good sons who assist their fathers. However, Da Lang was too hesitant and not decisive enough. And Erlang is sometimes too strong and doesn't know how to be flexible, but this is a shortcoming of the two of you. ”

"Da Lang, indecisive, hesitant in case of trouble, this is the real taboo of the superior, you must choose when you should choose, you must not hesitate, otherwise how to take on the big responsibility in the future. And Erlang, your personality is too hard, and you have some tendons, which is not a good thing. If you're just a fighter, that's enough. But you are not just a general, you are also the commander of my Li family's army. Just over easy to bend, when the time is right, you must be able to bend. can bend and bend, and he is a big husband. If you two brothers can do these two things, what is there to worry about as a father? ”

"Father, but Erlang is right, the grievances between our Li family and Chen Kefu are too deep, how can they be resolved safely. Now we have thrown ourselves into the net, but I am afraid that he will not let us go. Li Jiancheng said worriedly.

"The greater of the two advantages, the lesser of the two disadvantages!" Li Yuan said in a deep voice, "Da Lang, Erlang, you must understand that your father's decision to temporarily surrender to Chen Kefu was not an impulse, but a careful consideration. In today's situation, temporary surrender to Chen Kefu is our best choice, and we have no other better choice. As long as our Li family still wants to dominate the world, then this is our clearest choice now. As for your worries, has it not been that the Father has not thought about it, but those who do great things cannot take care of the former and the subordinates in everything, otherwise how can they achieve great things? ”

"Just now at Chen Kefu's place, you also saw and heard. Chen Kefu now wants to get involved in Hedong, but he can't reach it for the time being, and he needs the support of our Li family. Therefore, if Chen Kefu wants to take Hedong, then he must rely on our father and son. Maybe when he takes Hedong in the future, it is possible to turn his face again. But why should we wait until that day, as long as we get through this difficult time in front of us, great things can still be expected. At that time, Chen Kefu will understand who is the real smart person. ”…,

"The father is clever, and the child admires it." Li Shimin's brothers all suddenly realized.

Li Yuan looked at his two sons and smiled, but there was still worry in his heart that had never been shown on his face. What he said just now can only be said to be his wishful thinking and best expectations. But what the truth can be is completely out of his grasp. It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve things, and that's all he can do. He came to Mengjin bent on it, in addition to being unwilling in his heart, he also had a trace of hope. There is also another plan, the situation of the Li family is extremely critical, the Li family has been rich for hundreds of years, and he does not want to destroy the Li family when he is the head of the family.

He came to Mengjin to surrender to Chen Kefu, and also hoped to let his daughter Sanniang return to Chen Kefu's side. In this way, if the Li family can't do anything in the future, maybe Chen Kefu will still have a way out here, and he can protect the Li family, so as not to destroy the Li family after the failure of the struggle for hegemony. It's just that he can't tell others about this kind of negative thoughts, even if it's his own two sons-in-law, he can't tell them, he can only hide it in his heart.

"Alright, that's it." Li Yuan said a little depressed, "You guys remember to understand our situation in the future, especially Erlang, don't collide with Chen Kefu again." We are now under his roof, and we have to bow our heads when it is time to bow our heads. Go down, for the Father bathes and changes your clothes. ”

Li Shimin and his brother exited their father's cabin, said a few more words to Li Jiancheng, and then went back to their cabins. The personal guards brought up a few sets of clothes, as well as steaming hot water, saying that Princess Chen sent someone to send them.

After he was stunned for a moment, he realized that this Princess Chen turned out to be his third sister Xiuning. The corner of his mouth sneered, Li Shimin didn't look at the brand-new clothes, turned around and walked out of the cabin and went up to the deck of the fifth floor of the Lingbo.

Standing on the deck of the fifth floor of the five-story ship, standing under the big curtain of Chen Zi waving in the wind, gazing at the ocean. A small boat at the Mengjin Ferry of the Yellow River is leaving the side of the Anlan in the distance, rowing towards the edge of the ferry port, the hull is striped, the oars are up and down, piercing through the muddy yellow waves, and moving forward steadily. The boat was under the banner of the king, and he understood that it was Wang Shichong and his entourage, who had just returned from negotiations with Chen Kefu. He watched it disappear behind the ferry, and thought: If only my many fears could disappear so easily. He threw his head and shed blood for the Li family, and even became an enemy of life and death with his original friend and brother-in-law Chen Kefu for this, and even lost an arm and ruined his face because of this, did he finally have to witness such a tragedy?

Although Lao Tzu once said, 'how big and small, repay grievances with virtue', but he never believed that there would be such a thing as repaying grievances with virtue, Confucius once said, how to repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. ’

He didn't believe that Chen Kefu would repay his grievances with virtue, and even if Chen Kefu could look at the face of the third sister Xiuning, he would not repay their grievances with the Li family. Even if he directly repays his grievances, the things that the Li family has done to him in the past, and the things that the Li family is planning to do in the future, whether Chen Kefu is fair or unjust, their Li family will not have a very good ending.

Li Shimin never refused to put his fate in the hands of others, and let others dominate and control. At the beginning, Chen Kefu fled from Luoyang, and the reason why he wanted to advertise secrets to Yang after he found out. In addition to his suspicion that Li Xuanba's death was related to Chen Kefu, and the eldest grandson Wujian refused him, but liked Chen Kefu instead. The biggest reason is that he feels betrayed by Chen Kefu to the Li family, putting their Li family in a dangerous situation, facing the catastrophe of the Li family, the life of his brother, and the loss of his lover, he will finally break with Chen Kefu.

Although he was a little impulsive at the beginning, he never regretted it, and even if it happened again, he would make the same choice. The only thing he regretted was the arrow at the beginning, why he didn't kill Chen Kefu, and then there would be a disaster later. …,

At present, he and the Li family are once again forced to hold in the palm of Chen Kefu's hand, and all life and death are in his hands. This feeling made him extremely uneasy, and he was unwilling. Especially since the disfigurement of the broken arm, Li Shimin's personality has changed greatly, and he hesitates to be a hedgehog. Hide all the thoughts in your heart under the sharp thorns all over your body. As soon as he senses that danger is approaching, or that someone has touched something in his heart that he refuses to show to others, he will immediately become agitated and furious, and immediately open the sharp thorns in his body.

Xuanba Liaodong died in battle, and Yuanji died in the eastern capital. Since the death of his mother Dou, his father Li Yuan, eldest brother Jiancheng, and third sister Xiuning, the four of them are the closest people. Although he is the youngest, he often feels that his father and siblings need his protection more. Since the death of his mother, Xuanba and Yuanji have been killed one after another, and he regards it as his duty to protect his relatives.

At the beginning, Chen Kefu left his third sister, and in recent years, he has married a wife and had children, and his wives and concubines have been in groups. When he was happy and happy, did he ever think that the third sister secretly wept every day in the Li Mansion, playing the pipa alone in desolation?

At the beginning, he fled to Luoyang in a hurry, but he thought about how the Li family would face the next dangerous situation?

The Li family struggled all the way to finally come over, and finally had a corner of Hedong.

But now, Hedong is lost, and the Li family has to surrender to Chen Kefu, who treated them like he did back then. Even Chen Kefu can still face the third sister calmly, if he really thinks of her like this, then where did he go for such a long time?

Princess Chen? He thought it was funny when he thought about it. Chen Kefu's concubine is only one person, and that is the eldest grandson Wujian who he once loved. As for his sister, although he is the first woman Chen Kefu is marrying, how can there be any place for her in Chen Kefu's backroom now? He couldn't imagine that after the third sister followed Chen Kefu, she still had to face the bullying of other women.

Li Shimin's one-arm clenched into a fist, and suddenly slammed his fist on the edge of the ship, making a loud bang.

He couldn't allow that to happen, absolutely not!
