At the Great Horn View of the Harem of Daming Palace, a special "guest" came today-the emperor, Li Shimin.

After Concubine Yin De lived here, it was the first time the emperor came to visit. The Taoist aunts in Manguan were flattered, but before they came forward to greet them, they were repelled.

Li Shimin's face was a bit ugly. The Taoist aunts knew they were not good, and were unwilling to come forward to touch the mold, so they all hid in the room.

Li Shimin walked to the quiet room where the Concubine Yin De lived, looked at the dust-free window ridges and door lintels, and said to himself: "There are still cleanliness."

Pushing the door and entering, Concubine Yin De is sitting on a tufted futon, burning an incense to read a sutra, her eyes are lightly closed, her mustaches are placed on her arms, and she dances gently.

"When the wind is together, the dust will move. Or the Taoist heart is not solid..." Concubine Yin De said as if she was talking to herself.

Li Shimin didn't mind that she didn't stand up to greet her. The twenty-year-old couple seems to have weakened these rituals in private, and is always used to straightforward.

"You can sit still." Li Shimin said with his back cut and his hands slowly walking behind her.

In the extremely quiet Buddhist room, the embroidery needles can be heard when they fall on the ground. Li Shimin didn't say aloud, but it seemed extremely abrupt. The silence in the room made his words even more majestic.

"Then what can I do?" Concubine Yin De didn't look back at Li Shimin. She raised her head slightly and stared at the statue of Lao Tzu riding a green bull above her head.

Li Shimin also raised his eyes and glanced at the statue of Lao Tzu. He stepped forward and made a beating, but he didn't turn to Concubine Yin De, as if to say in a flat air: "Looking at the situation, have you heard everything?"

"Naturally, my Majesty does not know much." Concubine Yin De replied calmly.

"How do you feel?" Li Shimin asked calmly.

Concubine Yin De's face trembled lightly, as if she had suffered a severe pain but she tried her best to endure her expression, she pursed her lips, and said, "Those outsiders, don't ask about common things."

"In front of me, you don't have to be arrogant." Li Shimin snorted, and said, "What family are you from? My heart is still full of what you call vulgar things. Follow me Talk about Li You's rebellion, what do you think?"

The painful expression on Concubine Yin De's face seemed to be a bit deeper, but she still tried her best to endure and calmly said: "Qin Mubai will not participate in rebellion."

"What did you say?" Li Shimin was surprised.

"Qin Mubai, I will not participate in rebellion." Concubine Yin De repeated it with the same speed and tone.

"Strange." Li Shimin sneered again, "According to your temperament, you must jump up and down at this time, and you want to see me most. The purpose of seeing me is to intercede for your shameless son. And, this Once even Gao Yang joined him with him, you have more reasons to do so. But now, I came to see you on the initiative, but you seem to be indifferent. When I talked to you, you did not plead for Li You. Gao Yang excused himself, and instead said such a nonchalant sentence. I, I really don’t understand you more and more."

"Perhaps, you have never understood me." Concubine Yin De closed her eyes gently and took a long breath, trying to control her emotions.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin's face showed a trace of sorrow, and he was more puzzled—what's the joke, a couple of 20 years, would they not understand?

"No other intention." Concubine Yin De said, "Perhaps, I have never understood your Majesty."

"We have been a husband and wife for 20 years. How can you say this?" Li Shimin said in annoyance and puzzlement, "Could it be that in your heart, I have always been just your father-killing enemy?"

Concubine Yin De's face trembled lightly, her heart seemed to have been wiped by a dagger. It didn't hurt at first, but only after a while I realized that a deep scar had been cut by that dagger and the blood was flowing.

These words of Li Shimin are like a knife!

"Love him deeply! Forcing myself to use twenty years of unreserved love to dissolve hatred!-He actually mentioned it again after twenty years!"

For a while, Concubine Yin De felt that she had lived in vain for these twenty years...especially, now that her brothers, sons and daughters still stand on the opposite side of the emperor. All my hard work, dedication, and sacrifice for these two decades were completely vanished in an instant!

She didn't speak, closed her eyes, her lips were trembling, and her tears flowed out in despair.

Li Shimin is as careful as a hair, and has already noticed her emotional changes. For a while, he regretted it somewhat, knowing that he had only been angry for a while, and indeed he had said something wrong.

But it is impossible for him to admit his mistake.

"You are not a minister. I did not come to ask your judgment on the rebellion case. I want to know, at this moment, what do you think of your rebellious son?" Li Shimin said softly, "You think I Are you here to be sarcastic and mean to you? I haven't been so free yet. But after all, he is the son of our two births. Of course you have the right to say something."

"In the past, I always hoped that I could speak more to your majesty. Now your majesty is generous and he still lets me speak at such times. But I feel that I don't want to say anything anymore." Concubine Yin De still sits like that Then, even though the tears flowed down like broken beads, he didn't wipe it down. He suppressed the choked sob and said, "Your Majesty has his own opinion, and there is no need for others to say more, right?"

"Are you still angry with me at this time?" Li Shimin couldn't help being a little annoyed. On the contrary, he hoped that Concubine Yin De was a little excited, sad or scared, better than being half-dead and mocking him now.

"It's not anger." Concubine Yin De was still as calm as water, and said, "Sorrow is no greater than death. For a person who is heartbroken, in fact, nothing matters. There are many things in this world that people don't want. How can it be changed. Just like, Youer's rebellion is a fact. Your Majesty has a decision in his heart. Who can change this outcome? Rather than being useless, it is better not to disturb mediocrity."

"So you think so." Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Yes, I have sent Li Ji to lead the army to counter the rebellion. The result will be known within a few days."

"A gangster in a mere rebellion made such a big move. Did your majesty see the invincible and cautious General Li Ji, is it too idle, so he sent him an errand to move his muscles and bones in order to get promoted in the future? "Yin Defei showed a sneer.

"Have you said enough?" Li Shimin was angry, and he shouted, "Now, it seems that I was wrong!"

"Of course the fault is you." Concubine Yin De was not in a hurry or anger, and said calmly, "Which is the fault of the adopted son? The world, can I blame this half-dead woman?"

"It's not that your good brother Yin Hongzhi has been instigating him! I knew today, I shouldn't have listened to your pleading for a while and spare his life!" Li Shimin shouted in annoyance.

"Since your Majesty knows, why not get rid of my'good brother' early?" Concubine Yin Dek continued to sneer and said, "Instead, he has to follow me and complain after the incident. Is it wrong to be a sister to save my brother? ?"

"Yes, yes, you have mouths all over your body, I can never tell you!" Li Shimin really has no choice but to use this soft and hard concubine Yin De, who does not eat the needle in cotton. For so many years, the two rarely get angry. Quarrels are always respectful. But among so many concubines in the harem, including the late eldest grandson, no one dared to talk back to Li Shimin to provoke him. However, this Concubine Yin De, who has always been gentle and watery, as if she had no desires and desires, really got up to it, but even Li Shimin had nothing to do with her.

"Why did your majesty come from looking for boring interest?" Concubine Yin De said lightly.

"I will definitely kill Yin Hongzhi!" Li Shimin said suddenly.

"Kill! He has earned 20 years of life in vain, so he should be content." Concubine Yin De was cruel and said almost every word.

"I have always hated the disrespect and disrespect between flesh and blood relatives the most against the wall!" Li Shimin said again.

The corner of Concubine Yin De's mouth flicked a very slight smile, and said indifferently: "Is it just like the Majesty Emperor Wu De?"

"You!..." The words, like a needle, pierced Li Shimin's heart deeply, causing him to see scenes from the Xuanwu Gate back then. He suddenly raised his palm, really wanting to slap Concubine Yin De's face happily.

But at this moment, Concubine Yin De did not have a look of fear or fear. Instead, she turned her head with a smile, her beautiful and frosty face, and her beautiful eyes with tears staring at him. .

Li Shimin snorted, put down his hand, and turned his head angrily.

"Only you, dare to speak to me like this!"

Concubine Yin De didn't care, her expression returned to indifferent, and said: "Your Majesty is here to pass on my anger to my body and talk to vent. Or when I see my panic and pale in panic and fear You begged for mercy, right? I apologize, I let your majesty down. You'er will have today, but it’s not surprising that we all know it in our hearts. Since childhood, you are the father, and the courtiers around you, Who really regards him as a prince? When he is looking at him, doesn't he think that his mother is the daughter of the Yin family first? In other words, it is an adult who can't bear such discrimination and prejudice, let alone Child? Among the many children, your Majesty has always disliked You'er the most. Isn’t that fake? Otherwise, why was he the first to be entrusted to another place as an official? Leaving his parents and lacking control, You'er is indeed It has changed day by day. There is nothing I can do to become a mother of mine. This is the end, what can I say?"

Li Shimin was speechless for a while. He knows that Concubine Yin De has always been gentle like water and never said a word, but she has always been like a mirror and never confused. What she said today is ugly, but it's really the truth.

And at this moment, they are talking in the name of their parents, not the emperor and concubines. Otherwise, it is absolutely difficult for him to hear such big truths.

After a long time, Li Shimin seemed a little helpless, and also a little annoyed, said: "I, really not a good father? The prince loses his virtue, Gao Yang refuses to marry, Qi Wang rebels, who will be next? "

"You are a good emperor. But you are by no means a good father." Concubine Yin De said concisely.

"Why?" Li Shimin asked loudly.

"Because..." Concubine Yin Deqi chuckled and said, "You are too good, great, and strong. Your children have lived under your strong shadow and pressure since they were born. And, you always Have hope for your children as a prince, and the requirements for them are quite strict. I hope that all of them will become as outstanding as you. Is this possible? After all, children are children, and let them grow up. The best way."

"I hope my son will become a dragon, is this wrong?" Li Shimin said with wonder and helplessness.

"You're right. What's wrong is that you are an emperor." Concubine Yin De said.

"Asshole reason!" Li Shimin was rather irritated, and hit his thigh with a punch.

Yin Defei gently shook her head with a smile on her face: "Even I can't communicate with your Majesty, let alone your children who are frightened when they see you? Do this once, do this three times, and then drift away. The greater the hope you give, the greater the pressure, and the more they want to break free of these shackles, the more rebellious. So, everything can be imagined."

"In other words, there is Li You today, and there will be a second and third one in the future?" Li Shimin stared at Concubine Yin De in sorrow and said.

"Your Majesty will kill them in order to follow suit. Naturally, there will be no second person who would dare to do this." Concubine Yin De coldly said, "However, your Majesty's long-cherished wish for a son Jackie Chan is difficult to achieve."

"I don't believe it!"

"Monk, don’t bet."

"..." Li Shimin was choked, swallowed hard, and said, "I'm going to catch Li You to the capital, in front of you, ask him what he is thinking about. I am fascinated by something!"

"No chance." Concubine Yin De said lightly, "Your Majesty, at most you can only see You'er's...corpse."

"You bullshit!" Li Shimin scolded, "I gave Li Ji a secret order to let him catch alive!"

Concubine Yin De's beautifully curved lips curled up slightly to outline a cruel and bitter smile: "So, you don't know your son at all."

"Hmph, then let's wait and see!" Li Shimin snorted unconvincingly, then suddenly turned to look at Concubine Yin De, "Say, why did you suddenly say something just now, Qin Mubai will not participate in the rebellion? Don’t you know my confidante better than me?"

"No. I only know Gao Yang better than you. I also understand Gao Yang's love." Concubine Yin Deak said lightly, "The man Gao Yang is in love with will never betray or do stupid things."

"Because of this?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully: "What you meant was actually trying to say that Linger was kidnapped by Li You and Yin Hongzhi, rather than voluntarily rebelling. And Li You and Yin Hong Wisdom, it is precisely this level of Linger's identity to stir up troubles and deliberately create chaos, right?"

"So I said, Your Majesty is already well-informed, so why bother to condescend to this cold Taoist temple and ask for boring?" Concubine Yin De sneered.

"Huh!" Li Shimin stood up annoyed, "I, I really want to kill you!"

"It's easy to listen to it. Mothers are expensive for their children, and the mothers die because of their factors. It has always been royal rules, right?" Concubine Yin De's reaction was calm.

Li Shimin's heart added another block, and he almost started to beat someone with anger.

"I, I’m not as knowledgeable as you!" Li Shimin threw down this sentence with a grunt, and was about to go outside. Before leaving, he said, "You give me a good life. Live until Li You’s unscrupulous son kneels here, face to face. Make it clear!"

Yin Defei smiled faintly, looked up at the statue of Lao Tzu, then closed her eyes again and said nothing.

Li Shimin walked away, went out, let out a long sulky breath. Now, even he himself was surprised, how could he be so irritable and so gloomy today.

"Fortunately, she is not an outsider. Now, these things can only be told to her. Hey..." Li Shimin looked back at the wooden door of the room as if ashamed, and walked away.

In the room, Concubine Yin De lighted a few oil lamps, touched a yellowed ancient scripture with a trembling hand, and said to herself: "Ling'er, Mu Bai, I have tried my best. I hope you, take care!... You'er, in the next life, don't be born in the emperor's house!"

……

Han River, above the Shenyu spacecraft in front of the Xiangyang Military Port.

Qin Mubai sat on the bow deck wearing a military uniform with a golden sword. He squinted his eyes and stared at the lightly floating autumn river with a grim expression. The horizontal sword that was bestowed when it was awarded the Hundred Horses Envoy, has not yet seen blood. At this moment, Qin Mubai had untied the scabbard. With the tip of the sheath on the deck, Qin Mubai put the palm of his right hand on the hilt of the knife, his left hand was attached to his right hand, and both hands held the knife, occasionally flashes of sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Pang Fei and some generals in the military mansion stood behind him, not knowing what he was thinking, and no one dared to come forward and ask.

Just yesterday, Dengzhou sent a "lobbyist" with Li You's autograph letter to openly cross the river to persuade King Wu and Qin Mubai to go "together with Xiangxiang to achieve great things." ". That's all right, the lobbyist also specifically said that Princess Gao Yang missed General Qin very much, and looked forward to the door across the river. She missed the tea and rice day and night, and only hoped that Qin Mubai would cross the river and get together soon.

This is a stark "blackmail"!

Naturally, the lobbyist didn’t end well. Although Li Ke and Qin Mubai didn’t tear him to pieces by themselves, they indulged Yuwen Hongtai, who had a hot temper, and crushed him to the ground. Ya, rushed back to Jiangbei.

Since then, Qin Mubai's face has never looked good. Pang Fei and others did not dare to touch him.

For two days in a row, Qin Mubai spent the entire boat, sitting like this with a knife every day, not knowing what he was waiting for and what he was looking forward to. Everyone dared not ask, so they had to wait with him.

At this time, a shuttle boat that moved extremely fast and swiftly slid like ice on the river, and rowed under the large warship to report: "Report--! Two large ships were found at the water post ahead, heading towards the eight ghost crossing. Come!"

"Can you find out, who came?" Pang Fei asked.

"Both ships were robbed and questioned by our navy. One of the ships came from imperial court officials; the other ship was Jiangxia King Li Daozong!"

"Come!" Qin Mubai's eyes that had been slightly closed, suddenly opened, and the corner of his eyes burst into light.

"Got it! Go back and pass the order, let the navy brothers **** and welcome them to the Eight Ghost Crossing!" Pang Fei, the navy leader, ordered.

"Yes!—" The shuttle boat quickly rowed away again. After months of rigorous training, the White Waves Marines are now well-trained, as if they are worthy of the title of "Cunning Dragon in the Waves".

"General, why did King Jiang Xia go and return?" Pang Fei walked back to Qin Mubai and asked in a low voice.

Qin Mubai blinked his eyes: "He comes, he has his own reason. Please invite him to my boat. Besides, I will directly take the imperial court to the Cishi Mansion instead of bringing him here."

"Yes." Pang Fei didn't dare to ask more, so he hurried to do it himself.

Qin Mubai's hands clasped the handle of the knife tightly, took a deep breath, spit out a long, and secretly said: "It's time!...Ling'er, wait for me!"

……

Shortly afterwards, two large ships sailed to the Xiangyang Wharf. One ship docked at Baguidu, with a group of officials from the court, heading for Xiangzhou Cishi Mansion without stopping; the other ship, after traveling a few miles, turned directly into the military port of Xiangzhou Military Mansion.

Li Daozong stood on the bow of the ship with his back cut and his hands, looking at the ships and military appearances in the military port, his sharp and angular face full of fortitude and seriousness appeared with a smile: "Qin Mubai, really talented!"

Qin Mubai saw the incoming ship, got up and walked to the side of the ship to greet him with his fists: "Master, I will welcome you here in the end!"

"Don't come without problems!" Li Daozong vigorously stepped on the plank between the two boats and stepped onto the boat, staring at Qin Mubai, nodding and smiling slightly: "It seems that you are prepared very well. Full."

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "The prince went and returned. I don't know what the intention was?"

"Naturally, I am not worried about your rebellion." Li Daozong said loudly, as if mockingly.

Qin Mubai waved his hand and retorted the sergeants, and said: "Then the prince is here, there must be advice?"

"No." Li Daozong replied very simply and said, "This king likes young people, but it doesn't mean that I like to be a good teacher. I make my own decisions, and deal with my own troubles. I will come, purely. In the name of a private person, I will give you something."

"The prince came back and forth for thousands of miles to give gifts. This friendship is priceless." Qin Mubai said, "How do you live and feel the end?"

"It should be yours, it's yours. It's just that this king thinks it's more appropriate to give it to you at this time." Li Daozong simply untied the knife on his waist and sent it to Qin with both hands. In front of Mu Bai, "Take it!"

"This is..." Qin Mubai couldn't help being a little surprised.

Li Daozong stared at the knife, his eyes were like looking at his friends who have been with him for many years, or his brothers who have shared difficulties, smiled slightly, and said: "You forgot, go to the knife."

"Oh?..." Qin Mubai was slightly startled, remembering the scene of competing with Li Daozong when he was still at the Jiangxia Palace in Jinzhou. At that time, he and Chen Yan each had a contest with Li Daozong. Chen Yan drew with him, but Li Daozong said that she had reservations and lamented that she was not as good as others, so he gave her the "Unfeeling Sword". At the beginning, he was no match for Li Daozong. Although he deliberately presented the "guiyi knife", he didn't want it. He also said that if he can be defeated one day, he will come again to "take the knife" in justified terms.

"Master, do you want to discuss with the final general?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.

"This king doesn't want to fight with you now." Li Daozong also smiled, but with a deep smile, he said: "Giving a knife is giving a knife, don't have other intentions."

"Okay, then I would like to thank the prince for the gift!" Qin Mubai gritted his teeth and nodded seriously, taking the knife with both hands.

It's heavy. There are traces of hacking on the scabbard. It is neither gorgeous nor high-end, but it is vaguely desolate and simple. The blade is still hidden in the scabbard, but it is scattered in all directions!

"Good knife!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but praised before he drew the knife, "This is a good knife that has killed people and seen blood, and has a sharp edge!"

"Very well, you really know the goods." Li Daozong smiled satisfied, "The knife on your waist is gorgeous and beautiful. It must be valuable and unusual. However, good-looking may not be easy to use. This king's This Guiyi knife is dedicated to killing people and beheading. A knife is a knife, why is it so fancy? Now, what you need is a killing knife, not a beautiful decoration!"

In Qin Mubai's heart, there seemed to be a spirit fluttering, and he woke up in his mind!

Need a killing knife, not a beautiful display? Li Daozong obviously has something to say. He is not the kind of boring old man, he really will come back for no reason in such an extraordinary period, returning thousands of miles to give a knife.

"What he meant was that I should be cruel when I should be cruel, and those who should be killed have to be killed!... The name of the sword is "Going Righteous", do you also want to tell me, if it is difficult to balance love and justice, Righteousness is the most important thing?-He is letting me kill my relatives with righteousness?"

Seeing that Qin Mubai was lost in thought for a while, Li Daozong just nodded and smiled, and said: "In a troubled place, this king doesn't want to stay long, don't eat Lengjian. Goodbye, take care!"

Then he walked towards his boat without looking back. As soon as he boarded the deck, he waved his hand vigorously: "You don't have to send it off-sail!"

"Thank you—the prince gave the knife!" Qin Mubai stood on the side of the ship, holding the knife in both hands and clasping his fists.

The boat started immediately. Li Daozong was standing on the side of the ship with his back-cut hands just like when he came. He looked at Qin Mubai with a deep smile and nodded his head and smiled, and said: "In the coming spring, the king will come to Xiangyang again. At that time, I hope you and Linger can accompany me to fish together."

Qin Mubai nodded earnestly: "A word is a deal. Certainly, I will live up to my appointment!"
