Chapter 497 Warm solicitation

"Brother, brother!"

The boat had just arrived at the dock and had not yet stopped. A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old had already eagerly jumped out of the boat and strode towards Li Tai.

Li Tai raised his hand to stop Zhang Shinu and other personal guards who subconsciously took a step forward. He looked at the young man. Although it was the first time for him to meet him, a sense of familiarity quickly came to his heart. He also strode forward to greet him, opened his arms to embrace him, and said with a smile: "You are the 14th Lang Zhongju! You are much taller than I was when I left home. Brother, I almost can't recognize you!"

Li Zhongju is Li Tai's direct brother. He is more than two years younger than him. His facial features are somewhat similar to Li Tai's, but he lacks the heroic temperament. Compared with Li Tai who has been fond of wielding swords and guns since childhood, Li Zhongju is undoubtedly better. He is more like a handsome young man from a noble family who is as gentle as jade.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Zhongju couldn't help but his eyes were filled with tears again. He lowered his head and sobbed: "Brother, you and Aye never came back. My family was very sad. My mother didn't smile all day long. Every time my family went out to inquire, , often refused to eat. It was only after I learned the news about my brother last year that I finally felt a little happy..."

After Li Tai heard this, the image of a gentle woman could not help but appear in his mind, and a feeling of admiration arose in his heart. Although he is different from his predecessor Li Tai, he has accepted the memories of his predecessor and lived in this identity for several years. He is not completely devoid of feelings for his family, and sometimes misses them a lot.

In his memory, this mother, Mrs. Lu, loved him the most, and Li Tai also relied on this doting to develop a lively and active character since he was a child.

"Mom, how is her health now? Is she thinner than in previous years? You are an unworthy person who wanders around the rivers and lakes, unable to sleep in the morning and evening. You, Shiro Shiro, and other young people at home are not allowed to follow this behavior!"

Thinking of his mother, Li Tai was also filled with sadness, patted Li Zhongju's shoulder and said.

When Li Zhongju heard this, he opened his mouth to speak but stopped, but when he saw that all the people behind him had disembarked, he stopped talking and just stood sideways behind Li Tai.

After Chen Yuankang got off the boat, he carefully looked at the severely damaged river bridge in the north of Licheng. He also looked at the collapsed gate tower and damaged gate wall of Heyang Pass. He did not rush forward to leave the Li Tai brothers. Time to catch up on old times next.

Along with him was a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties, handsome and tall, who was also from the Li clan in Longxi.

He first stood with Chen Yuankang on the pier for a moment, looked at Li Tai from a distance and took a few serious looks, and then said with a smile: "It is indeed my cousin Boshan. The elders in the clan have always lamented the appearance of Thirteenth Lang." He is handsome and outstanding, and he is a leader in any family. It is a pity that Xiang Xue has a clumsy character and is not as brilliant as he is internally and externally. But looking at him now, he is more calm and heroic than in the past. "

"Famous sects have passed down their Taoist skills, and it is inevitable that they will have higher requirements for their disciples. This Li Lang's great deeds and growing reputation cannot be separated from the teachings and encouragement of his elders from the same clan!"

After hearing this, Chen Yuankang also said with a smile, and followed Li Qian's gaze. When his gaze fell on Li Tai, he couldn't help but pause. After staring for a while, he couldn't help but say, "No wonder, No wonder Li Lang could be so boasted by his elders before he was revealed. It was indeed true. His appearance and appearance were as good as gold and jade, which was amazing. The elders of the He family saw the orchid jade tree blooming in the gate garden! , can you not be happy?"

While the two were talking, Li Tai was already approaching, surrounded by soldiers, and his eyes fell on Li Qianzhi.

Most of his dozens of cousins ​​from the same clan stayed in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Unless the relationship was particularly close and impressive, many of them would not be remembered.

However, after being reminded by his second brother Li Zhongju, he actually recognized Li Qianzhi. They were the same great-grandfather Li Cheng, and their relationship was even closer than that of Li Licheng. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Fifth brother, please come here after a long journey." Please forgive me for my inconvenience in traveling and not being able to meet you from afar."

"Thirteenth brother, you don't have to be polite, everyone in your family knows you..."

After hearing this, Li Qianzhi quickly waved her hands and laughed. Because Chen Yuankang was nearby, it was difficult to say many words, so she introduced to Li Tai: "This is Chen Changyou and Chen Youcheng. Last year, his family moved to Jinyang from Hebei. Only by relying on Chen Youcheng's care can you settle down smoothly."

When Li Tai heard this, he felt surprised. He did not expect that his family would move from Hebei to Jinyang.

But he didn't feel like asking in detail at the moment, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart, cupped his fists towards Chen Yuankang and said, "Chen Youcheng, I have admired the name for a long time. We were just friends before, but I didn't expect that we can meet here now that we are separated from each other."

"The deeds of Mr. Chen are really not worth mentioning. On the contrary, General Li is a young man from a famous family, and his achievements are outstanding. He can be regarded as a model of the times. Even General Gao often hears about the general's fame and sighs with joy that there is nothing like the replacement of the old and the new in the world. It can be avoided, but there are only a few people such as General Li who can truly prosper and promote it. I must meet you with courtesy this time."

Chen Yuankang also cupped his fists and returned the salute to Li Tai. He had already been quite impressed from a distance, but now he was looking at each other. Even though Li Tai was not arrogant, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and nervous, and his mood actually became a bit... perturbed.

It's not that he hasn't seen the world or faced real strong men, but he is probably in a disadvantaged situation during this trip. In addition, Li Tai's style is really outstanding, so he can't help but feel oppressed. .

When the group of people turned around and headed towards Zhongli City, Chen Yuankang couldn't help but secretly look at Li Tai a few times, and he couldn't help but secretly lamented that in terms of appearance and appearance, the Li Tai in front of him could be said to be the only one he had ever seen in his life. King Gao, coupled with his heroic military uniform, had a temperament that was slightly inferior to that of the crown prince Gao Cheng, and had a vitality that he had never seen in King Gao.

After entering the inner city of Zhongli City, Li Tai introduced Chen Yuankang and his entourage into the hall, and ordered He Ruodun, Han Xiong and other generals to accompany them to the banquet. Then he smiled and said to Chen Yuankang: "I am in the army and my work is simple." , please forgive me for setting up a banquet in a hurry and not entertaining me."

"General Li, you don't have to be polite. I and the general work in two countries. We were sent to meet each other because of our orders. I am deeply honored that the general took the time to meet me."

Chen Yuankang exchanged a few polite greetings with Li Tai first, and when the atmosphere was almost settled, he then stated his intention: "I was ordered by General Gao to come here today to visit General Li. The general must have self-examined the reason behind this.

Since the construction of the three cities of Heyang during the Yuan Xiang period, only one general has been able to conquer two cities. His deeds are indeed majestic. After the prince heard about this, he was shocked and felt sorry for the general..."

"The three cities of Heyang were actually built during the Yuan Xiang period? I remember that Gao Situ seemed to have died outside Heyang City? Does Chen Youcheng know which city it was?"

Before Chen Yuankang finished speaking, Li Tai asked.

After Chen Yuankang heard this, he looked a little embarrassed. He had previously been an aide to Gao Ao Cao's disciples, and was recommended by Gao Jishi to be used by King Gao, and he was in charge of the secrets of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, when he heard Li Tai asking about Gao Aocao's past, Chen Yuankang knew that he was using this to express his dissatisfaction with the Gao family's regime. After thinking for a while, he said again: "The old death of Gao Situ is really sad and regretful." , Therefore, King Gao, General Gao and his son both treated Situ's family members and old relatives favorably, which can be said to be the most caring.

As for Gao Ergong, it is also a pity. If he is in harmony with the moral principles, he will be an official, but if he is not in harmony, he will be hidden. Now he has abandoned his parents, wife, children, relatives, friends and the masses. He has no intention of concealing his family's stories and has taken refuge in the enemy's country, causing his body and reputation to be ruined. , who should I blame more? "

At this point, he looked directly at Li Tai and continued: "Although Gao Ergong went astray and was extremely immoral, Prince Gao and his son still did not kill his relatives and disciples in revenge. Most of the other people who were involved in the incident have forgotten their responsibilities. , magnanimity is rare in the world. "

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but nod secretly. Not only was it a matter of forgetting the past, it was a double favor, and they all slept on the same bed.

He knew what Chen Yuankang was expressing. Although his father and son were rebellious, the family members who stayed in Hebei were not affected, which was enough to reflect the magnanimity of Gao Huan and his son.

But when he thought about hearing that his family had moved to Jinyang from Hebei, he couldn't help but ask: "Although Qinghe is not my hometown, I have been living there for a long time, and I often dream of returning to the land and water of that place. Why did my family move to Jinyang?" ?”

Upon hearing this question, Li Qianzhi and Li Zhongju's expressions changed slightly, and they turned to look at Chen Yuankang.

Chen Yuankang also laughed twice, and then said: "Jinyang was empty last year. General Li, you attracted the crowd..."

After listening to Chen Yuankang's explanation, Li Tai felt a little embarrassed. He did not expect that there would be such follow-up things after he left Jinyang.

When he heard that Gao Huan wanted to vent his anger and severely punish his family but was shielded by Gao Cheng, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and said to Chen Yuankang sincerely: "Please Chen Youcheng will pay my respects to General Gao when he returns. When I was serving the country, my loyalty followed my ethics, and I never served the Eastern Dynasty properly in my life. However, General Gao took care of me and saved me from any regrets about my ethics. "

"General Li, please rest assured. I will report this intention to the general. But in fact, why should the general rely on Yuan Kang's clumsy words? The former general was troubled by Gao Ergong and went astray and was trapped in Kansai. Although the current general relies on He has worked hard to rise up in the world, but he is still separated from his relatives and disciples in two countries. Although he is in an honorable position, he is inevitably lonely. "

When Chen Yuankang said this, his tone of voice also increased a bit, and his eyes when looking at Li Tai became more enthusiastic: "Today's tall generals are in charge of the country, and the most important thing is to be as elegant and serious as the generals, young and handsome, heroic and talented, not only He harbored hatred for the general's past affairs, but regretted that such a talented person could not be recruited into the palace.

Therefore, before leaving, General Gao Da told me that if General Gao Da is willing to abandon the dark side, join the bright side, and return to the righteousness, General Gao Da is willing to recommend the general to the rank of officer with the same and even greater honors. He will divide Yuzhou in the north to be the general's permanent rule. And divide and rule Henan. If you are so kind, what do you think of the general? "

Alas, I have Yang again, sore throat, body aches, loss of taste, cold and fever, really uncomfortable. . . It was a bit uncomfortable yesterday because I got stuck on a broken chapter, so I will update one chapter today, and I will probably have to take a day off tomorrow. . . Everyone must not take it lightly and pay attention to self-protection. . .
