The outermost layer of the pheasant had been roasted to a brownish brown. Li Ze carefully used a knife to lower the outermost layer and put it in a plate. After hesitating for a moment, he was the first to hand it to Li Anguo opposite.

As if satisfied with Li Ze's performance, Li Anguo nodded slightly, poked a piece into his mouth, chewed it for a while, and swallowed it until his teeth were full of fragrance, and praised him, "It's true that there are differences. Husband and grandson, the same raw materials we made really taste worse."

"The techniques are different." Gongsun Changming said with a smile, but his eyes were still staring at Li Ze's pheasant that was constantly flipping.

Eating the thin croquette meat in the plate, Li Anguo looked at Li Mi and Chen Changping who were busy not far away and asked, "Is that the archer under your command?"

Li Ze looked back at Chen Changping who was helping Li Mi, nodded and said, "His archery technique is indeed good. He used to be from Henghai, but because he was dissatisfied with Zhu Shou's rebellion for levying a lot of money, he followed me later."

"I heard from my husband Sun that you have a general named Shi Zhuang, who has a mysterious origin. Have you figured out his origin?" Li Anguo asked.

Li Ze shook his head: "No need."

"Then you dare to use it too? I heard that he is the most useful general under your command? Do you value him more than Tu Lichun?" Li Anguo said in surprise.

"The key to being intimate is to be close to me. When he is willing to talk to me, he will naturally tell me." Li Ze did not look up and said lightly: "It is difficult to be poor, but it is only a pity for the feelings."

Li Anguo sighed. This son's principle of employing people seems to be very different from himself.

When Li Ze delivered another plate of chicken to Gongsun Changming, Li Anguo suddenly asked, "Does Che'er's death have anything to do with you?"

Gongsun Changming was delivering a piece of chicken to his mouth with joy. When he heard the shocking question, he suddenly froze where he was, and the flesh on his lips also stopped at the edge of his teeth.

Li Ze did not raise his head, and was still grilling the chicken with concentration. His hands kept stopping, but hesitating in his mouth: "It doesn't matter. My hands can't stretch that long."

Li Anguo looked up at Chen Changping in the distance and sighed: "Suning insisted that it was your move?"

Li Ze smiled: "When the Chinese New Year was just over, he sent hundreds of elite cavalry to kill me? Until now, I have never seen him. This is a mad dog. Now I catch me and bite me, and I have no choice. Those who are clear will only be clear."

Li Anguo withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Ze calmly, and said, "Yes or no, it has nothing to do with it now. Che'er is dead, I have only you, I have the only son. Speaking of which, this is all my fault."

Li Ze finally raised his head, looked at Li Anguo, and said in a affirmative tone: "You are right, this is indeed your fault. You were wrong sixteen years ago."

Li Anguo's face flushed and he was a little angry: "What do you know about what happened sixteen years ago? How much do you know about what I and your mother?"

Li Ze smiled slightly: "What do you don't know? You can guess it even if you guess. One respects but no love, the other loves but cannot get it. They are just resentful husbands and wives. But I came to this world and suffered so many sins for no reason. It is all sin to be born without raising or not raising but not teaching."

Li Anguo blushed and stared at Li Ze viciously. He seemed to want to swallow Li Ze in one bite. After all, he was a military governor. In anger, the power of having a high position for a long time was naturally revealed. Liang Han, who was standing behind them, involuntarily took a few steps back, and Chen Changping, who was a little farther away, straightened up and looked here. This man had been fighting on the front line for a long time and had an intuitive reaction to the danger. When he looked here, his hand involuntarily touched the quiver on his waist. However, Li Mi realized it later and saw Chen Changping's movements, he looked here straight.

Of course, Chen Changping's actions could not be hidden from Li Anguo. He sneered a few times.

Li Ze turned his head and glanced at Chen Changping. Chen Changping immediately lowered his head and continued to pluck the feathers of the pheasant, as if nothing had happened.

"You are so loyal to you." Li Anguo sneered: "He actually has the courage to take action in this place."

"A guy with muscles in his mind." Li Ze smiled and said, "It's not worth your anger."

Li Anguo stared at Li Ze for a while, and his face finally calmed down.

"It doesn't matter whether Che'er died at your hands. I don't want to explore the truth. As you said, these are the causes I laid down, so I must bear the result. But then again, you are my only choice now, but this is either the best or the worst choice."

"What's the solution?" Li Ze stopped the movement in his hand and asked curiously.

"Your sophistication and ruthlessness were beyond my expectations." Li Anguo put down the plate in his hand and said, "I asked Gongsun. He had never taught you these things. Your mother is not such a person. So how did you grow up to what you are now?"

"Live in peace and think in danger. A person who is always worried about whether he can live for a long time will naturally think more." Li Ze said: "As for some things, I have read enough books. As long as I am not stupid and good at thinking, I will naturally learn it."

Li Anguo was stunned for a moment before nodding slowly and said, "So, you have suffered over the years. The reason why you are the best choice and the best choice is because you may lead the Li clan to the peak that I have never reached, but it may also allow Li to fall into the bottomless abyss, and from then on, it will disappear and no longer exist."

"You make sense of this." Li Ze cut off the pheasant's head with one knife, inserted the knife into the chicken's head and raised it in front of him. Looking at the bright red crown on the chicken's head, he said, "But this is not what I want, but because of the times. You will sail against the current, and you will retreat if you don't advance. Just like you, you are determined to be a local emperor in the land of virtue, but in the end, aren't you still unable to help but be wrapped in the torrent of history and unable to retreat?"

Li Anguo was silent and did not get angry because of Li Ze's sarcasm.

Li Ze shook the chicken head in his hand and smiled, "Either make this chicken head, let your fate be with you but not with the sky, so that you can control the general trend of the world, otherwise you can only go with the flow, or you can survive with the luck, or be swallowed by the big waves. And I don't want to go with the flow, I prefer my destiny to be controlled by myself."

"How difficult is it to compete in the world?" In just a few short sentences, Li Anguo had already seen Li Ze's deepest thoughts.

"How can you know if you don't try it?" Li Ze laughed, fed the chicken's head into his mouth, and bit off the cockscomb in one bite.

"If there were other choices, I really wouldn't choose you. If Che'er was still alive, I wouldn't choose you." Lee Anguo sighed.

A hint of anger flashed in Li Ze's eyes and he said in a deep voice: "You still have Li Yuan to choose now. Isn't Shenzhou Zhaozhou clamoring for the successor?"

"My nephew is not a son after all." Li Anguo sighed: "And if I do this, Cheng De will fall apart immediately. At least Cao Xin in Yizhou will definitely follow you. Looking back, neither Anmin nor Suning can be your opponent. At that time, Cheng De will first have civil strife, and they will die at your hands. At that time, I am afraid you will not even want to recognize your ancestors."

Li Ze smiled and said nothing.

By the way, his recognition of the Li clan is not as strong as outsiders think. Of course, it is a helping hand. No, with his current ability, it is not impossible to grab it in the future.

"You called me this time, don't you just want to express your feelings to me?" Li Ze said, "I'm very busy. I'm currently harvesting. After the autumn harvest, I'll start to fight Henghai. No matter how unlucky Henghai is now, it's a town, and it's not that easy to get along with."

"Gongsun, tell him? This little boy said that his hand was not stretched long, what happened to Hu Shier?" Li Anguo seemed a little tired and waved his hand to Gongsun.

Li Ze was stunned and turned his annoyed gaze to Gongsun Changming. This matter must have been revealed to Li Anguo by Gongsun Changming.

Gongsun Changming did not feel like a traitor at all. While eating pheasant meat, he said, "Li Ze, Jieshuai is your father. You are too rude. Do you know that Jieshuai worked hard and made a hard arrangement for you to get on the right? With your current position, you also know how difficult it is to make Chengde smoothly transition into your hands, right?"

Li Ze has to admit this.

"There is no problem to simply kill Suning, but this will bring many problems. So starting from Shenzhou, even if the Jieshuai is still on the hospital bed, he has already started to make arrangements. The Jieshuai has buried chess pieces by his side. Do you know who this person is?" Gongsun Changming said.

Li Ze thought for a moment: "Is it Du Teng?"

"You are indeed extremely smart!"

"It's nothing difficult." Li Ze smiled and said, "Huang Shang has been killed by Suning. A dead chess piece is naturally not a chess piece. Others seem to have no such weight yet."

"This is indeed the truth!" Gongsun Changming laughed and said, "Everyone thinks that Huang Shang is the chess piece of the governor. However, Huang Shang has been in Shenzhou for more than ten years. His family has a great career and has been entangled with Suning too deeply. He is the person who is the most loyal to Suning."

"It's really unpredictable!" Li Ze sighed. "But Mr. Gongsun, have you ever thought about a question: Suning is not only colluding with Zhaozhou, but also very likely to collude with Lu Long?"

"I believe that Suning will not be able to do this even if colluded with Anmin, collusion with Lulong people, right?" Li Anguo interrupted.
