Will Ming

Three days have passed since the bloody day in Chang'an City. During these three days, the people seem to have gotten used to the fact that a large number of family members of criminals are escorted out of Chang'an City every day. They don't know where they will be exiled or sent to Somewhere in the farmland as a slave.Those with good intentions roughly estimated a number. In the past three days, there were more than 600 people who had their heads chopped off at Caishikou. There is no way to count those who were escorted away, but it should not be less than 1000 people.

Many mansions in Chang'an City were vacated all of a sudden, but they were soon bestowed by His Royal Highness King Yan to meritorious ministers from the Yan Yun Army.

How many people will be exiled and how many people will be killed, no one knows, maybe even King Yan himself doesn't know.

Li Xian wanted to transition smoothly, and slowly reach a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding of coexistence, with those Guanlong families who secretly have the ability to influence the situation in Chang'an, and even the world.So he tried his best to solve the problem with a method that he was not familiar with, but in the past few months after entering Chang'an City, this method did not seem to resolve the problem, but instead made him fall deeper and deeper into a dilemma situation.

He was not from a family, and what he learned from a young age was how to survive, how to kill, and how to ensure that he would not be killed.He is still a bit unfamiliar with the tactics of scheming. Although he has been working hard to change himself these years, there is no doubt that when he squeezed into the court controlled by the aristocratic family in a domineering way, he discovered that those people In his eyes, no matter how strong he was, he was still a loach that swam into the koi pond.

The reason why he wanted to solve the problem in a milder way was because he began to cherish this empire.This empire belonged to others before, and now it belongs to him.He doesn't want to use a purely destructive method to conquer, but there is no doubt that for a political beginner, he can't do it as easily as when commanding the Yanyun Army to fight for territory.

And he was indeed a little lost in everything he got now, so that he was a little shy and timid.

It was Ye Huaishu who gradually woke him up in a bloody and brutal way.

After that day of killing, Li Xian finally realized one thing.

Since those koi are so proud, even if they have no ability to resist their own rule, they still regard themselves as a black loach, so why do they have to become a koi to cater to those people?Since it is difficult to change yourself to adapt to the new environment, the most effective way is to stop the idea of ​​turning yourself into a koi, and then use the simplest and crudest way to turn those koi into loaches.

No, it is the weakest fish and insect.

After Li Xian entered Chang'an City, he had been thinking about how to balance the conflict between Li Yuanchao's old man and Yan Yun's generals.He wanted to stand in the middle with a fair attitude, neither to chill the generals of Yan Yun's army, nor to make Li Tang's old officials feel hopeless.

This is an extremely exhausting thought, and just thinking about it already makes people unable to sleep.But to implement it, it is more difficult than thinking, ten times, a hundred times.

It was also because of the massacre provoked by Ye Huaixiu that Li Xian figured it out.The heroes of Yan Yunjun are heroes, and Li Tang's old officials are old officials.On the one hand, there is an old brother who followed him to fight the world, and on the other hand, he is a grasshopper who intends to gain a foothold in the new dynasty by relying on the strong strength of the family. Wall grass.

He made many mistakes in decision-making in the court, and he can still guarantee the control of the Great Tang Empire until now, not because he has balanced those veterans of Li Tang, but because he has countless brave generals and hundreds of thousands of elites. division.

It was as if a talented boy had been specially recruited into a university campus.No matter how smart he is, he cannot quickly integrate into the new environment.He couldn't become friends with those brothers and sisters who were much older than him, because behind everyone's pretended good-natured smiles was deep jealousy and hatred.

Before Li Xian entered Chang'an City, he was a young dragon swimming in the sea.He is unrestrained and fearless.But after entering Chang'an City, it was like a dragon entering the shallows, being constrained by his own thoughts everywhere.

That's right, it's not the enemy that constrains him, but himself.

This is a process of growing up. Fortunately, the price he paid was not very high.

It is the performance of the weak to hope that we can adapt to an environment.It was only now that Li Xian figured out that every time he took a step back, those opponents lurking in the dark would unknowingly take a step forward. It seemed that Li Xian was controlling the situation, but in fact he was exchanging concessions for coexistence.

This is where the root's fault lies.

Perhaps Ye Huaixiu had already seen through this point, but she couldn't think of a gentle way to make Li Xian wake up.So she chose to kill and told Li Xian in this way, when your strength is already so strong that everyone is jealous and fearful, why do you need to adapt to others?

So Li Xian also started killing people.

Li Xian himself said a long time ago that he is not a bloodthirsty person.But when he had to kill, he would never fail to pick up the killing knife.

……

……

The afternoon sun was shining warmly through the open windows, and there was a particularly comfortable warm feeling on the person's body.This kind of sunshine always makes people attached, and then become lazy.So when Ye Huaixiu was resting on the bed with his eyes closed, he obviously couldn't sleep, but he was reluctant to open his eyes.

The anesthetic prepared by Dugu has passed, and the wound is a twisting pain.But the expression on her face didn't show a trace of pain, even a little intoxicated.

She seemed to enjoy the comfort of not having to think about anything, and not needing to do anything.Even if this comfort is based on the pain of her body, even if she already knows the severity of her injury.

"Eat something when you wake up."

Sitting by the bed, Li Xian looked at her and said softly: "I cooked a bowl of round-grained rice porridge, and I'm good at barbecue. I'm not very good at making porridge. You know... from childhood to adulthood, how can I have time to be quiet? Come down to make porridge? Which... If it's not bad, I'll make something else for you, you shouldn't eat too greasy things now, Xiao Di specially told me."

"You did it?"

Ye Huaixiu opened his eyes, as if he was very interested and his face flushed a little.

"Help me up."

she says.

"Lie down, I'll feed you."

Li Xian picked up the porridge bowl, smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a little thicker."

Ye Huaixiu glanced sideways, and couldn't help laughing and asked, "Is this porridge you boiled, or steamed rice?"

"It looks... more like rice. But there is no doubt that this bowl of rice is made according to the technical process of porridge, and I guarantee that there is no paste."

"I'll try it"

Ye Huaixiu smiled and opened her mouth, she didn't know what, there was a sense of attachment in her eyes, and she didn't know whether it was the comfort of the bed, the warmth of the sun, or the attachment to Li Xian's bowl. Porridge will be delicious.

"tasty!"

After taking a sip of the porridge, Ye Huaixiu sincerely praised, and then said pitifully, "That... the taste is a bit bland, and it tastes bitter in the mouth. Drinking rice porridge alone is a bit... can I eat it?" A little meat?"

"Which woman loves meat like you do?"

"Who told you that the meat you cook is delicious?"

"Uh... I'll just supply you later. If you really can't drink this porridge, I'll cook you a bowl of hot noodles. You can put some sliced ​​meat in it."

"Yeah"

Ye Huaixiu clapped his hands lightly and said: "Don't put the meat piece by piece, put the meat piece by piece, and the big one, you can stew a pot of meat first and then put it into the hot noodles, I'm not hungry or in a hurry, but I must eat meat."

She looks so cute that people can't help but want to pinch her face, and this kind of cuteness is not artificial at all on her face.

"it is good!"

Li Xian nodded: "I'm going to stew meat now, but it will take longer, just wait."

"Well! I'm waiting!"

She nodded vigorously, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When Li Xian got up and left, the smile on the corner of Ye Huaishu's mouth gradually froze.She looked at Li Xian's leaving back, and there was something glittering and translucent in her eyes.Since she was sensible, she seldom cried again.Later, after she met the man, her tears gradually increased.Later, that man made her cry gradually.Ten years later, she once again had the urge to cry.

"Sister Ye..."

Xiao Di sat down beside her bed and held her hand, only then did Xiao Di realize that Ye Huaixiu's hand was as cold as ice.

"Sister Ye, don't worry."

Xiao Di held Ye Huaishu's hand tightly, and said seriously: "Dugu said, there is no other way. He stuck in the study last night and didn't come out. He said he would definitely think of a way."

"I'm not sad because of the injury, but because I suddenly want to cry."

Ye Huaixiu made himself smile, stubborn and proud.

……

……

It is 470 miles away from Chang'an City, next to a small forest.

On both sides of the official road, there were hundreds of corpses in disorder. The clothes on these corpses were very messy, and the weapons in their hands were also very messy, so it was obvious that they were not regular people.But these people showed a strong desire to fight just now, of course... this is only because of their greed.

The one attacked was a carriage guarded by more than 100 cavalrymen. It stands to reason that there are more than [-] cavalrymen protecting it. Ordinary bandits and thieves would not risk a surprise attack, but perhaps it was the horses of these cavalrymen that aroused the enthusiasm of those bandits. Greedy, or maybe the woman in white in the carriage was aroused by the leader of the bandits when she got off the carriage, and about six or seven hundred bandits rushed out of the woods screaming
