"Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to go to the army, I won't force you. But remember, if you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to us old fellows. Let's not talk about other things, but we can protect you in the capital." Just as Li Yi was about to go against his conscience and praise the table in front of him for being rare, Old General Xue seemed to have given up and finally waved his hand.
"There's still one thing that I don't understand." Li Yi finally regained his composure as he looked at Old General Xue.
"You want to ask us why we old fellows are so nice to you?" Old General Xue asked without even lifting his head.
Li Yi thought to himself that these old generals weren't as rash and boorish as they appeared to be. Their words and actions were clear and logical, and they could even think of things that he couldn't think of. After all, they were old men who had lived for decades and were older than both of Li Yi's lifetimes combined. They could see through Li Yi's thoughts with a single glance.
The old fox had grown into an old fox. When he met these old generals or old men in the future, he must not underestimate them.
"You'll understand when you actually arrive on the battlefield," Old General Xue said faintly as a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.
No one knew better than these old generals how powerful the thing he had invented was on the battlefield.
Which of the old generals present hadn't killed their way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? They had experienced countless battles in their lives. Without them, the Jing Kingdom wouldn't have existed.
In every battle, it was their brothers and comrades who sacrificed themselves. The family of generals had been on the decline since ancient times. No one knew when or where a descendant of the family of generals would die on the battlefield.
The young man in front of them had given them a huge gift, a huge gift. Compared to this huge gift, a small repayment was not worth mentioning at all.
It was just that Li Yi hadn't realized this yet.
As he watched the old generals leave, Li Xuan immediately cast an envious gaze over.
"For Old General Xue to say such words, it means that he really values you. With so many old generals standing behind you, you can do whatever you want in the capital city in the future."
Li Xuan was really envious. These old generals had fought for the country all their lives. Their fathers, themselves, and their descendants had all done their best for the country. What they did was the most dangerous and important thing. Because of this, His Majesty attached great importance to the family of generals. It could even be said that he favored them.
In the capital, these old generals were unreasonable existences. Even if Li Xuan met them, he would have to be respectful.
Li Yi inexplicably received the old generals' promise. Apart from feeling surprised, he was also happy.
He looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Walk sideways? Does that mean that the next time I meet the King of Shu, I can slap him hard? "
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to react. He shook his head and said, "The King of Shu is a prince. His face is the face of the royal family. If you slap him, you will be slapping the royal family. The King of Shu will not forgive you, and neither will Uncle Huang."
"Is that so …"
Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Other than slapping the King of Shu, he didn't seem to have anything else that he wanted to do but couldn't.
Then he thought of something and asked, "What about killing Qin Yu?"
When Li Xuan heard this, he immediately became interested. He whispered, "That's possible, but you have to do it secretly. Don't get caught. Prime Minister Qin isn't someone to be trifled with. If something really happens, even Uncle Huang won't be able to protect us. In short, this matter can't be done hastily. We have to plan it carefully …"
Just as Li Yi and Li Xuan were discussing how to kill Madman Qin without being discovered, on the other side of the hall, Prime Minister Qin was chatting with a few other officials. Then, he walked back to his seat, looked around the hall, and furrowed his brows.
At this moment, a young man hurriedly came from behind and said, "Grandfather Qin, it's bad. Young Duke Qin, he …"
"What did this bastard do this time!" After a moment, Prime Minister Qin frowned and looked in a certain direction at the entrance of the hall.
"I think it's a good idea to hire someone to kill Qin Yu. Qin Yu doesn't have many guards. If we hire a powerful assassin with a lot of money, we can make him disappear forever. Even if we are caught, they won't be able to find out our identities. Qin Yu has too many enemies, and there are too many people who want him dead …" Li Xuan felt that he had come up with a brilliant idea. In his complacency, he raised his voice. However, he didn't notice that an official dressed in a scarlet official's robe was already dumbfounded.
Through his idea, Li Yi summed up 18 ways for Young Duke Qin to die. He inadvertently raised his head and seemed to see someone looking in his direction.
When he looked carefully, he only saw the figures of a few unfamiliar officials. The feeling just now seemed to have never appeared.
He shook his head and began to think about other things.
He had Li Xuan to accompany him here, so he had someone to talk to. He didn't know how Ruyi was doing. Young Princess was born in a rich family and should not have much in common with her. He didn't know if she would be bored.
The hall was full of singing and dancing, and it seemed that no one was paying attention to this side. Li Yi sneaked out. He had just stepped out of the hall and walked a few steps when he heard a faint voice behind him.
"Even if Qin Yu has offended you in some way, isn't it too heavy for the county magistrate of Chang 'an?" Li Yi looked back and saw an old man in plain clothes standing behind him. The old man said calmly.
The old man's clothes were very ordinary, and his appearance was even more ordinary. Only his eyes were particularly sharp, as if they could see through people's hearts at a glance.
"Prime Minister Qin?" Li Yi stopped and looked at the old man.
The old man didn't admit or deny it. After a moment, Li Yi smiled and said, "Prime Minister Qin, you know what kind of person Qin Yu is. I think you have a conclusion in your mind whether I was heavy or not. Why do you say this?"
The old man frowned slightly. He was a righteous man. If others had done those things, he would have already stopped them. However, when it involved the only legitimate son of the Qin family, he naturally couldn't treat him as an ordinary person. When he made a mistake, he could punish him however he wanted. In fact, he had always been strict with Qin Yu at home.
However, he didn't want to let outsiders do these things for him.
Li Yi didn't defend himself. He directly tore apart all the concealment and went straight to his heart. As the prime minister, he must know better than anyone else what was right or wrong, right or wrong.
"This bastard!" Prime Minister Qin cursed in his heart. Naturally, he thought of some dirty things and thought that maybe he should discipline him well. Otherwise, the reputation that the Qin family had accumulated for decades would be ruined in his hands.
However, being questioned by a young man in his face, Prime Minister Qin still felt a little embarrassed. He snorted coldly, turned around, and walked back in.
Li Yi curled his lips. This old man still cared about his face. His impression in Li Yi's heart slightly increased by 0.01 points.
He didn't know if the Empress's birthday banquet was over. He walked out of the hall and took a look. No one came out, so it should still be in progress. When he was about to sneak back, he suddenly stopped and saw a small figure sitting on the corner of the steps of Yonghe Palace in the night.
