"So this is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty..."
When Li Shimin and his ministers left, a voice suddenly came to mind in the mountains and forests beside the road, but saw a girl sneaking behind a tree and leaning over to look at the back of Li Shimin and others leaving.
This girl was Qi Yanran. She suddenly turned her head and looked behind her, laughed at a bush, and said, "Everyone is gone, no need to hide it. You are all brave. I didn't expect that you were so afraid of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As expected, the rumors are inconsistent, and there are so many differences in the facts..."
The bushes behind swayed slightly, and Li Yun slowly walked out of it and smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of him, I don't want to see him."
"Don't want to see him? Why is that?"
Qi Yanran was obviously stunned, her wonderful eyes flashed with incomprehension.
Li Yun looked at her first, then looked into the distance, suddenly raised a hand, and pointed to his forehead with a little helplessness.
His forehead was bare like a bald one.
Qi Yanran immediately burst out laughing and said, "It is said that women should be to please themselves. I originally thought that only girls would care about their appearance. I didn't expect that your dignified Bohai Lord is so powerful that he would be afraid of being seen as a bald person..."
He giggled again as he said that, as if he felt this was very interesting.
Li Yun withdrew his gaze from the distance, turned back to look at her again, and suddenly shook his head and said, "You don't understand some things you say. If a person reaches a certain position, his behavior and image are also important. I am not afraid of being seen by the second uncle. After all, I am a junior in front of him. Even if I become a bald man, the second uncle will not mock me as an elder. The reason why I chose to hide is mainly because I don't want to be seen by the ministers."
Qi Yanran was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Why is this? Are you afraid of ministers? You are not even afraid of the emperor, why are you afraid of those ministers?"
Li Yun looked at her again and explained: "I have said just now that if a person reaches a certain position, his behavior and image are very important. For example, I used to be a refugee and became a refugee on the street and lived by serving porridge. At that time, I didn't need to care about my image, because the whole family was not hungry after eating alone. No matter how much I pay attention to the image, I can't escape the status of a refugee. A villain is humble, and no one cares about me!"
"What about now?" Qi Yanran asked.
"It's different now. I am the lord of Bohai!" Li Yun continued to explain to her, saying, "I am the first prince of the Tang Dynasty. I am about to establish the first prince of the Tang Dynasty. I have a connection with millions of people. Even if I don't care about my image, I have to think about my people. Otherwise, when someone talks about the people of Bohai Kingdom in the future, they will say that they have a sloppy king. If the people cannot raise their heads, I, as the lord, will be considered a dereliction of duty..."
He stopped here and then said: "Image is only one aspect. The key is that there is some loss of majesty. Those who control the country are the majesty of the princes. This majesty is not to scare anyone, but to be solemn in other people's cognition. I can take the initiative to be kind to others, but I cannot make others think that I am good and deceived. The emperor and the princes are in the dignity of the country. My own image no longer belongs to me. Even if I hate this disguise in my heart, I can only force myself to disguise..."
Speaking of this, I heard it again, and then said: "Especially since I became famous, I have always been showing my strong image, fighting against foreign races and shaking the aristocratic families. Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, I will first strive for three points. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many enemies are hidden in the dark. However, they fear my bravery and military strength, so they shrink their minions and be honest. What I need is that they maintain this fear and make them always feel that I am a powerful person. Only in this way can they not dare to have bad thoughts. This is a good thing for me and them!"
Qi Yanran was confused when she heard this, obviously she couldn't understand the truth.
Li Yun smiled and stroked her forehead and explained to her, "You can understand that I am concerned about my own majesty in order to protect others. Those ministers of aristocratic families are afraid of me, so they dare not be fooled. They dare not be fooled, so I don't need to kill people. In this way, they all lose an additional dispute with each other. This is a blessing for all people and a great thing for the people..."
This explanation sounds very difficult to understand. Qi Yanran was even more confused and subconsciously said, "Why are you getting involved with the people again?"
Li Yun smiled again and asked her in a scrupulous manner: "Who am I?"
"Are you the Lord of Bohai?" Qi Yanran answered without hesitation.
Li Yun nodded, suddenly reached out and pointed to the direction the ministers left, and asked again: "Where are them?"
Qi Yanran hesitated for a moment and replied hesitantly: "I just hid behind a tree and eavesdropped on it. It seemed that I heard that they were the patriarchs of the Zheng family of Xingyang and Cui family of Qinghe, as well as the Minister of Revenue in the Tang Dynasty, as well as some important civil and military officials."
"Very good, you've answered it right!"
Li Yun nodded again and suddenly said, "I am the lord of the vassal state, and they are important officials of the country. Both me and them are huge figures for the people. If we have disputes, will the fight affect the innocent?"
As he said that, without waiting for Qi Yanran to answer, he immediately said: "The fire broke out in the city gate, which will affect the fish in the pond. Once we are chasing, how can the scope of the fight be small?"
Qi Yanran then realized it.
The girl suddenly sighed and said softly: "After you say this, I suddenly feel that you are so tired of living. You are obviously a high-ranking and powerful prince, but you are not as good as a refugee when you live."
Li Yun was stunned, and he felt that this was extremely reasonable. He slowly turned his head and looked into the distance and thoughtfully said, "Maybe I thought too much, but it made things complicated. In the past, I was committed to convince people with reason and smashed them to death without obeying them. As a result, everyone was afraid of me and didn't need to think too much. Now he likes to think about it from multiple perspectives, and he has many restrictions on doing things..."
When Qi Yanran heard his tone was a little strange, she couldn't help but feel inexplicable feelings in her heart. Women are a very magical animal. Once they have a heart, they will think about this man. In fact, the two have not gotten married, and they have not even had time to establish their relationship. However, because of the old ancestor's annotation, Qi Yanran has already begun to regard Li Yun as her own man.
Her eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly reached out to hold Li Yun's arm, and changed the subject with a smile: "If others don't accept it, let's beat him directly. Who dares to touch your mind? Let's kill him. We are just a group of ministers from the Tang Dynasty. If you kill a group, you can choose another group. My grandfather once told me that the most lacking thing in the world is officials, and the same is true for aristocratic families. If you destroy it, you can support us. Our Yinmen is very careful and neat in doing things. No one in the world can make the Yinmen plan and think about it. You are the eldest son-in-law of the Yinmen, and you don't need to think about it in the future. If anyone feels that you are not majestic enough, I will talk to him with a hammer."
As he said this, he blinked his eyes mischievously, and said with a smile: "It's not a paper-made hammer, but a real pair of small gold hammers. Although the hammer is not big and weighs a lot. Although it is not as good as your drum-beating golden hammer, it can also smash people into a brain burst."
This girl is not bad for being the granddaughter of the big demon in the Yinmen. Although she is kind and gentle, her education she received since childhood is very problematic. She said that she had smashed people into a brain burst without any scruples, and she was vaguely excited.
Li Yun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "I only know that you used paper hammers to scare people. Even the Turkic Jie Li Khan was scared by you. I didn't expect you to have a pair of small golden hammers. It seems that we are really destined to be together. I use a hammer, and you also use a hammer."
Qi Yanran giggled and said, "Then we are a Hammer couple."
Li Yun laughed and nodded, "Then you have to process the hammer, it's best to engrave it on it and win people with virtue..."
Qi Yanran smiled with a smile, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
A man and a woman laughed and talked for a long time, slowly walked out of the hiding forest. Li Yun found a branch as a crutch and disguised himself as a crutch who was inconvenient to walk again, while Qi Yanran's eyes lost their vitality and pretended to be a blind woman who could not see anything.
It was early morning, and the sky had just brightened. The two of them walked slowly along the road and headed towards a small group of people who had traveled.
But they didn't know that they had just hiding in the forest to peek at the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, but others were peeking at them deeper. After the two left the forest, the figures of the King of Qi and Taoist Tong suddenly appeared.
The King of Qi was obviously very unhappy with Li Yun, and suddenly turned around and snorted coldly at the Taoist Tong, "Look at your good disciple, what did he make my girl look like? My girl used to be so cute, but now she has learned bad things from him and actually pretends to be blind."
He seemed very angry as he said that, and waved his hand and punched a big tree hard. The leaves rustled down, alarming a group of morning birds.
The Taoist boy next to him smiled and suddenly said in surprise: "You said my disciple took over your granddaughter, and I also said your granddaughter had taken over my granddaughter. I, a disciple, have a kind personality, and he never lie before."
"Bah!"
The King of Qi spitted and cursed, "There are no good people in your family. They are all born liars. Don't think I have never asked. You little disciple is not a good bird at all. You have been cheating since you were a child and use all kinds of things. You are obviously born with divine power and swords, but you like to use lies to cheat people. Three years ago, he set up a Fanyang City in Hebei. The aristocratic family in the world followed him to hype ginseng, but he made a fortune. The aristocratic family lost all their pants."
The Taoist boy seemed to have heard this allusion for the first time. He looked surprised when he heard this, and said in surprise: "So my disciple is such a person? Then he is not worthy of your good granddaughter of the King of Qi. The old Taoist will catch up with him now and separate the two children so as not to miss your child for life. If it is spread, people will scold me for being unable to do anything."
"fart!"
The King of Qi roared all his life, and suddenly punched the big tree again, and said angrily: "My granddaughter was touched by him. You old guy actually wanted to break up. Do you want to eat it all and refuse to admit it? Damn, I shouldn't endure it in the woods last night. When that kid touched my granddaughter, I should have beaten him to death."
The Taoist boy smiled leisurely and said with a smile: "You can go and kill him now, but the old Taoist promises that he won't stop you."
It would be fine if you didn't say this. When the Qi Ren King was so angry that his face was bulging. But when he saw this evil man from ancient times to the present, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "You said you wouldn't stop me now. Why did that guy stop me when he took action last night?"
The Taoist boy's face became more leisurely, and he smiled and said, "At that time, the old Taoist disciple was taking advantage of the situation. As an elder, the old Taoist naturally had to help him. If you showed up and beat him at that time, wouldn't it be a bad thing for the child? Now that the good thing has been taken, the old Taoist naturally has no reason to stop you."
"I'm going to you..." The King of Qi roared and finally broke a big tree.
Two elderly people over 100 years old were making noises and their personalities were like children. After a long time of noise, they stopped and hid in the mountains and forests to continue observing Li Yun and Qi Yanran.
...
However, Li Yun and Qi Yanran disguised themselves as cripples and blind men, heading towards a group of people along the way. When they arrived, they found that the people were resting. But they saw a dozen women squatting on the ground with numb expressions. One of them was feeding the child. Unfortunately, her milk could not fill the child at all. The child was so hungry that he cried, but the crying sounded weak.
A trace of pity flashed through Li Yun's eyes, and he slowly leaned towards him while leaning on the branch. Suddenly, his face was slightly stunned and he found that there was someone lying beside the road.
It was a waxy woman. She knew she was sick all year round. At this time, the woman just coughed a few times, and the sound sounded like a faint metallic sound.
Li Yun's heart skipped a beat and instantly guessed what disease the woman was suffering from. The coughing sounded like a metal, which was a problem with the lungs. It was usually called pneumonia in later generations. However, in ancient times, it was tuberculosis after being delayed for a long time.
Sure enough, the woman coughed repeatedly and suddenly reached out to cover her mouth tightly. After she took off her palm, there was a pool of bloody phlegm in her palm.
The woman's face became worse, and she lay on the ground and looked up at the sky. What was strange was that her face was not numb, but instead she felt relieved and free and easy to see everything.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a middle-aged man walking out of the mountains and forests. The middle-aged man looked vicissitudes and had a few wrinkles on his forehead. His clothes were extremely worn, but he was meticulously cleaned up. Even if he had just emerged from the woods, he would not forget to subconsciously stroke the thorns stained on his clothes.
This person is not too old, at most he is in his early thirties. He should be a middle-aged man with strong strength, but his temples are faintly gray.
Even the back is a little slapped.
This looks like a person who bent over a long period of poverty.
But I saw this man holding a rhizome in his hand, which looked like Polygonum multiflorum that had just been dug out. Unfortunately, the tubers were very small, probably just like a child's fist.
He ran out of the forest with his roots in his arms, first glanced at the road, and for some reason he suddenly changed his face and shouted anxiously: "Madam, Madam, where are you and where have you been?"
The shouting was filled with horror and the whole person was trembling.
At this time, the woman coughed, lay on the ground and raised her arm with difficulty, then fell down softly, and coughed violently again.
The middle-aged man immediately ran towards the woman.
Li Yun's eyes flashed a few times, and suddenly stopped moving forward. He leaned on the branch to pretend to rest, and at the same time gave Qi Yanran behind him a color.
Qi Yanran's eyes flashed a few times, and she also pretended to rest and stayed there.
The two of them watched silently, trying to see how the middle-aged man treated the woman who was coughing.
But he saw the middle-aged man running quickly and suddenly tripped by a stone on the side of the road. He ignored his fall and rolled to the woman, saying with concern: "Madam, don't scare me, why did you lie down suddenly? Your illness is the most afraid of moisture. How can you lie on the wet ground? Get up quickly and dig some food for your husband."
While speaking, he gently stretched out his hand, then carefully helped the woman up, and gently rubbed her head on her palms.
Although the woman's face was pale, her eyebrows were filled with deep happiness. She leaned her head tilted against the man and comforted the man softly: "I felt tired for a while, so I lay on the ground for a while so that I could gather some strength to accompany my husband to Bohai... Husband, why are you crying again? Don't cry, don't cry? Isn't this good at me..."
Unfortunately, her persuasion was useless, and the middle-aged man burst into tears.
Li Yun and Qi Yanran looked at each other and were about to come forward to say hello, but they saw the middle-aged man suddenly freed up his hand and wiped the tubers he dug out from the soil, then delivered the tubers to his mouth, making a look of eating.
Qi Yanran was furious immediately and gritted her teeth and whispered: "It turns out that this man is a hypocritical. He made something and wanted to eat it by himself."
As he said that, he was about to step forward and teach the man a lesson.
Li Yun hurriedly pulled him and whispered: "Don't worry, you can continue to see that there are often hidden facts, and even if you see them with your own eyes, they may not be true."
Qi Yanran was slightly stunned and took back one of the calfs that had just been raised.
But the middle-aged man put the tubers to his mouth, but he did not take food alone at all. It turned out that he used his teeth to chew off the roots outside the tubers, revealing the white juiced roots inside.
The root skin was still stained with soil, and it was inevitable that it would hurt toothache when gnawing on the skin, but the man chewed without hesitation and gradually chewed off all the root skin of the tubers.
It was not until this time that he brought the tubers to the woman's mouth and said hurriedly: "Madam, eat it quickly. This is Polygonum multiflorum in the mountains. It can be regarded as a medicinal material and can also be treated as food. After Madam, she will definitely improve after eating it. Maybe your tuberculosis will be cured without treatment."
This statement was clearly a kind lie, and it seemed to be a man's encouragement to his wife. The woman leaned on his shoulder with a gentle expression and said softly: "I only eat a little, husband, you can eat a little too. Let's keep the rest if we don't eat it, and wait for the girl to come back to eat."
Li Yun and Qi Yanran looked at each other, and from these words, they heard that the family seemed to have a girl.
Perhaps it was the torture of years of illness, and the family had become accustomed to the ups and downs of fate, but seeing that the man did not blame the woman for being disobedient, he nodded happily and said, "Then madam, please eat first, and wait for Hong'er to come back before eating."
Just a piece of tubers the size of a child’s fist, two couples who suffered from suffering were willing to give in to each other. Li Yun suddenly sighed softly and murmured to Qi Yanran, "When I have time, I will tell you a story about fish spitting bubbles."
Qi Yanran was slightly stunned and looked at Li Yun curiously and said, "The fish spits bubbles? What's there to hear?"
Li Yun looked at her, turned his eyes to the couple in the distance, and said softly: "That's called mutual support..."
