Xiaoqi

After the maid served hot tea, Li Li waved his hand to signal them to go out.

Immediately, without waiting for Li Xian to speak, Li Li said: "Third brother, you came here to ask about Fan Yong, right? Do you think I am too ruthless and punished him too severely?"

"Uh!" Li Xian let out a cry of astonishment, then nodded and said, "I can't hide anything from my elder brother. The younger brother is indeed here for the sake of the second brother. The younger brother also knows the history of the battle in the southern suburbs. The second brother did indeed Wrong, he should be punished. But after all, Uncle Fan is the uncle of the second brother, and also a adoptive father. He raised the second brother, and Uncle Fan has always taken good care of our brothers during his lifetime. .

Uncle Fan turned his back on the battlefield, the second elder brother originally had good intentions and was only thinking of his elder brother, he didn't know that Uncle Fan would be a fraudulent surrender, so it led to a big mistake.Now that Uncle Fan is dead, the second elder brother is devastated. After burying Uncle Fan, he built a thatched hut next to the grave and kept vigil day and night. It has been more than three months now.Since he brought Uncle Fan's body back to Guzang City for burial, he has been absent-minded all day long. He often sits in front of Uncle Fan's tombstone in a daze for a whole day without eating or drinking. Now he is emaciated.If things go on like this, the younger brother is worried that his body will collapse and he may die in depression.

The younger brother pleaded with the elder brother on behalf of the second elder brother today.The second elder brother is our sworn brother, and we have long sworn an oath to share good and bad, life and death.All along, he has been loyal to his elder brother, but whatever his elder brother orders, he will do everything he can, and he will do his best to fulfill his elder brother's orders.But now he is decadent like this, sitting in a daze all day long, drinking away his worries.Life is better than death.The little brother really can't stand it anymore, and begs the elder brother to let him come back, even if he is allowed to serve as a soldier in the army, it can be regarded as giving him something to do, so that he won't live without love and be immersed in grief all the time.Brother, brother, please! "

Li Xian's eyes turned red and his throat became choked up after he finished speaking the words that had been held in his heart for a long time.

When Li Xian was speaking, Li Li had already picked up the teacup.After Li Xian finished speaking, the hot tea in his hand was already cold, but he still held it in the air without taking a sip.

What Li Xian said really surprised Li Li.Feel more guilty.

In the battle of the southern suburbs, Fan Chou raised his troops and turned against him, but it was a false surrender.As a result, the soldiers in the rear of the Wuwei Army suffered heavy casualties.Li Li was so annoyed at Fan Chou's stubbornness that he became murderous.And this killing intent was just his momentary thought, in fact he didn't deliberately send someone to kill Fan Chou.Unexpectedly, Fan Chou could not escape his death in the end, he was shot to death by the arrows from the crossbow array led by Jin Gu, and he died extremely tragically.

After the war, Li Li did not pursue Fan Yong for the crime of collusion with the enemy.Even more forcibly suppressed the impeachment and dissatisfaction of the generals against Fan Yong.However, when Fan Yong was about to take Fan Chou's body back to Wuwei County for burial, Li Li didn't see him, but asked someone to send him a generous burial fee.500 taels of gold and hundreds of white silks, and then gave Fan Chou the posthumous title of General and Township Marquis.

Before the whole army was reorganized, Li Li had already reserved an official position for Fan Yong. Among the Siping generals, he was General Pingxi, and he had already planned where he would be stationed in the future.It's a pity that Fan Yong left with a grudge, and after returning to Wuwei County, there was no news from him. Obviously, he was deeply brooding over Fan Chou's death and his resentment had not subsided.

For this reason, Li Li was very angry with Fan Yong's willful behavior, and then bestowed the position of General Pingxi on Guo Bang, and did not arrange Fan Yong's specific position.However, after all, Li Li still considered Fan Yong's previous military exploits and friendship, and still gave him the post of general, one of the five tiger generals.

In addition, Li Li asked Fan Yong to return to his hometown to observe his filial piety, and there was no specific time limit, and there was always room for it.The reason why he did this was that he hoped that Fan Yong could let go of the resentment in his heart, take a long-term view, and not blindly use his emotions to truly grow into a calm and rational general.

As long as Fan Yong can pass this hurdle, Li Li will use him again, and reuse him.It's a pity that his hard work was in vain. Fan Yong went to Wuwei County for more than three months, and he neither returned to the barracks, nor did he have any letters, or even a message.

It wasn't until now that Li Xian told about Fan Yong's recent situation that Li Li knew that Fan Yong was so decadent that he guarded a grave all day long, sitting in a daze, drinking away his worries.

Immediately, Li Li felt mixed feelings, including feeling sorry for Fan Yong's brother, feeling remorse, and even more angry at him for not fighting.After three months, Fan Yong turned out like this, which really caught him by surprise.

Faced with his younger brother Li Xian's expectant and pleading eyes, Li Li didn't know how to answer him, and didn't know how to deal with Fan Yong.This kind of dilemma has not happened to him for a long time.But today he was stumped, thinking about it but still couldn't think of a proper solution.

Fan Yong's current situation is obviously not suitable for leading the army. There are three reasons.First, he is emotionally unstable now, and he still can't let go of Fan Chou's death. No one knows what extraordinary things he will do after leading the army.Second, he has never taken the initiative to contact Li Li, neither letter nor message; this shows that he is dissatisfied with Li Li and has a knot in his heart, which makes Li Li not sure what is going on in his heart.Who dares to reuse such an unknown person.Third, Li Li and him are sworn brothers, and there is a rift between brothers, which can be said openly to prevent the rift from getting bigger.It's a pity that Fan Yong didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, completely closed himself off, and had no intention of talking to Li Li at all.In this way, even though Li Li wanted to resolve the depression in his heart, he didn't know how to speak and where to start.

The most important thing is that in the case of Fan Chou's death, Li Li believes that everything he has done has been done with the utmost benevolence and righteousness.If Fan Yong wasn't his sworn brother, he didn't have to be so entangled at all, he could do whatever he wanted, and if he was a little cruel, he would send their uncle and nephew to hell together.

Li Li pondered for a while with a gloomy face, but he still had no clue, and couldn't help becoming irritable.Then he asked Li Xian in a deep voice: "Fan Chou's death is purely his own fault, and he deserves to die. Considering that he was kind to me in the past, and he is Fan Yong's uncle, I will give him a posthumous title and bury him with the ceremony of a village lord. And do not pursue the crimes of the Fan family members. Am I doing this wrong to him?

As for Fan Yong, it is true that he is my sworn brother, and it is true that he was loyal to me before, and I have never forgotten this.However, disobedience on the battlefield and self-indulgence against the enemy led to the death of tens of thousands of soldiers in our army.After the war, most of the generals in the army were extremely dissatisfied with him, and dozens of generals even jointly impeached him, demanding severe punishment and justice for the dead soldiers.However, I thought of his past achievements and friendship, and forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction of the generals. Not only did I not deal with him severely, I even did not even question him. Things never happened.But what did he do to me? After returning to Wuwei County, he was like a sea of ​​stone cows. He didn't hear from me, and he didn't even bring me a word.In his heart, does he still have me as a sworn brother?

Now you want to intercede for him, yes, then tell me what should I do?Do you want me to beg him myself?If you really think so, then you should die as soon as possible!I, Li Li, am not an ungrateful person. I will definitely do what I should do. I will repay kindness and revenge.However, I am not born to ask for help! "

After finishing speaking, Li Li put down the teacup in his hand heavily, stood up, slammed open the door, and left in a huff.

Seeing that his elder brother was furious and slammed the door to leave, Li Xian stood up involuntarily, opened his mouth wide in a daze, but was speechless.Afterwards, he thought carefully about what his elder brother had done and his own elder brother's usual style, his face gradually became gloomy, and he was quite dissatisfied with Fan Yong.He felt that his elder brother had indeed done his best and cared for Fan Yong in every possible way. He had always valued him highly, promoted him repeatedly and entrusted him with important responsibilities.Unexpectedly, after Fan Chou died, Fan Yong would become like this, unreasonable and self-defeating.

"Hey, no matter how wrong Fan Yong is, he is our sworn brother after all! What should we do?" After thinking for a long time, Li Xian couldn't help sighing, and walked out of the study with a sad face.

"Ding dong dong!"

In a house less than two hundred steps away from the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion, there was a soothing and melodious sound of a piano.

This is a rather large house, with two gardens at the front and back, and a water pavilion on the left and right.All the buildings in the courtyard are well constructed, with high-quality materials and elegant but not luxurious decoration.In the garden, there are flowers in all seasons; in the pool, there is a lotus rockery pool on the west, and a narcissus and carp pool on the east.

The environment is quiet but not lonely, warm and elegant but not ostentatious.

This house is only separated from the back garden of the Sheriff's Mansion by a wall. Compared with the majestic Sheriff's Mansion, this place can only be regarded as "Xiaojiabiyu", which is extremely inconspicuous.

However, if someone from the county guard's backyard really came to "stop in", he would definitely find that the guards in this house were extremely tight, which was not inferior to the backyard of the county guard's mansion, or even surpassed.If you carefully observe the posture and aura of these guards, those who practice martial arts can clearly feel that these guards are all extraordinary in martial arts and powerful in martial arts. A mere hundred guards can withstand the attack of thousands of soldiers and horses. Be able to win the battle and protect the master comprehensively.

In the pavilion on the east side of the water pavilion, Li Li sat on the stone bench with a gloomy expression, looking at the assortment of food and fresh fruits on the stone table, but he had no appetite. Drink, one cup after another.

Opposite him, a young woman in her prime is slightly lowering her head and stroking the guqin, playing soft, soothing and warm music, which makes people relax and let go of their troubles and sorrows.

The white and delicate jade fingers gently pluck the strings, the sound of the piano is long and melodious, the melody is gentle and refreshing.But the woman playing the piano kept her bright eyes on Li Li all the time, her eyes were clear and charming, and a trace of joy flashed across her eyes from time to time, which was fleeting and difficult to be noticed by men.

Who is plucking the strings, can book friends guess who this woman is?

Chapter 367

"Ding dong ding!"

The sound of the piano is long and gentle.

A gust of cool wind caressed past, and the daffodils swayed.

There are groups of carp in the pond, all kinds of colors, gray and white, black spots, bright red tails, and they are happy in pairs.

Luan and phoenix are carved on the four pillars of the pavilion, and dragons are painted on glazed glass on the cornices.

The righteousness of brothers causes people to worry, and the jade strings relieve worries.

Waterside Pavilion.

Beside the stone table, Li Li had been drinking alone for an hour. He was already half drunk, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and the troubled look on his brows had long since dissipated.

At this moment, except that he was slightly drunk, his expression was very calm, there was no sign of irritability on his face, his eyes were clear and deep, his whole person became quiet, and a faint smile appeared on his face.Compared with the demeanor when he first came here, he seemed like a completely different person.

"The sound of the piano is very nice. It makes people feel refreshed and comfortable. It has been an hour, and your fingers are hurting. Take a rest."

After drinking another bottle of fine wine, Li Li sincerely praised the lady playing the piano for her superb piano skills, and gently beckoned her to come and sit down.

"Living here for more than three months, how do you feel, are you still used to it?" After the woman got up and sat down lightly, Li Li poured her a bottle of wine and asked softly.

It can be seen from this that Li Li and the woman playing the piano are very familiar, and there is a sense of respect between the two.And the identity of this woman is by no means ordinary, otherwise Li Li would not be so polite when talking to her.

The woman sat opposite Li Li, as quiet as a virgin, exuding a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, giving people a very comfortable feeling.She has a high bun, silky hair, waist-length hair, elegant and dusty; she has a beautiful face and exquisite features.She has an oval face, curved eyebrows and bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, skin as fair as snow, and cheeks that are white and rosy, charming and glamorous.

She was wearing a snow-white long dress, which set off her devilish figure just right, her curvy body curves were unobstructed, and her breasts and buttocks were fully displayed.

This is a real tight-fitting long skirt, which is tailor-made from the finest silk and satin in Xichuan.The whole long skirt has puffy shoulders, narrow waist, wide bust and hips, tight legs, and extremely long hem, which drags several feet of skirt on the ground.This kind of long skirt is extremely rare in all states and counties in the world.Only in the backyard of Li Li's mansion can there be such a visually impactful tight-fitting dress.Only in this one, it is impossible for this kind of new clothes spanning thousands of years to appear in other places.and.The seven wives and concubines in Li Li's mansion would not usually go out wearing such tight-fitting long skirts that provoke crimes.Only when Li Li was at home, they would wear their own hand-made skirts to show their perfect figures in front of Li Li.

However, right now, this tight-fitting long skirt, which is only made by Li Li's wives and concubines, appeared in this quiet house for no reason, and it was also worn by the woman playing the piano.If Dian Wuxia saw this scene.She will be shocked, and then she is sure that her husband Li Li is hiding in the golden house outside, and he is hiding so far and so deep.Hidden next to Guzang City Sheriff's Mansion, which is thousands of miles away from Chang'an.

It's a pity that Dian Wuxia is not here at the moment, and it is absolutely impossible to know that Li Li has such a beautiful confidante next to the sheriff's mansion.As long as Li Li doesn't say anything, even Li Xian, who lives in the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion all the year round, doesn't know that there is a peerless beauty living next door.

A long white dress was worn on the body of the woman playing the piano, which complemented her own tranquil temperament and fair skin, making it a perfect match.The tailor-made long skirt perfectly sets off her inverting figure. Every move, every frown and smile is enough to attract the attention of the man she uses, catch the man's mind, make him distracted, his soul goes out of his body, and he forgets himself completely.

In addition to her beautiful face and outstanding figure, this woman also has a pair of seductive eyes that can be remembered for a lifetime at a glance.Her charm is definitely not imitation, nor is she pretending to be charming, but a natural charm, a god-given charm.She herself doesn't need to make any seductive gestures, just look at each other naturally, no matter if it's a man or a woman, they will be attracted by her eyes and the charming color between her eyebrows, so they can't help but want to Get close to her.A woman approaches her because she has a good impression of her, and a sense of familiarity arises spontaneously.When a man approaches her, he is fascinated by her captivating style, loves her, covets her, cannot help wanting to protect her, take pity on her, possess her, and absolutely cannot tolerate her being snatched away by other men.

The beauty of this woman is almost demonic, and it can be said that men and women can take it all, suitable for all ages.

This is by no means a false statement, nor is it an exaggeration or exaggeration.

Thinking back to Dong Zhuo and Dong Xiangguo, who were all-powerful in the past, he had countless daughters in his life, and there were as many as hundreds of wives, concubines, and beautiful servants in the palace, singing and singing every night, and cutting down every day.It's a pity that his flirtatious and affectionate was finally ended by this woman, and his dominance in the whole life was destroyed once, and then his soul was broken for nine days, and he died in front of Zhengyang Palace.

But Lu Bude, the Marquis of Wen who used to conquer the world bravely in the past, saw this woman as a heavenly man, unable to sleep at night without knowing what to eat, thinking day and night to take her as his own.It's a pity that Dong Zhuo robbed his love with a knife and struck first, which made Lu Bu almost collapse, and sat on the jade steps of Changle Palace overnight.In the end, he fought back crazily, turned into a beauty in a rage, killed the king and father, and ruthlessly killed his adoptive father Dong Zhuo.
