Qin Mubai didn't say a lot of words on the way to the Palace of Weiguo. Princess Gao Yang was a little uncomfortable and felt bored. She glanced at Qin Mubai from the car, his face seemed not very good, so Princess Gao Yang asked carefully: "Mu Bai, you seem to be upset?"

"No!" Qin Mubai smiled, feeling ashamed in his heart. Obviously, his own cultivation level is not enough, and he can't achieve the real "soundlessness". Even the immature eyesight of Princess Gao Yang can tell.

Princess Gao Yang blinked and asked: "Did the prince brother and Han Wang embarrass you just now?"

"How is it possible." Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, and turned off the subject, "I'm just muttering, why did that "satisfaction" become a statue?"

Princess Gaoyang suddenly felt cold and her teeth were sour, "How do you think about this stupid question?"

"Okay, I'm not thinking about it anymore." Qin Mubai smiled, "I will arrive at the Palace of the Weiguo later, but you are not allowed to mess around, let alone capture the beard of the Weiguo."

"Hey, are you scared?" Princess Gao Yang smiled, "You seem to be particularly nervous Lord Wei Guo?"

"Respect." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "I respect him like a father."

"From the heart?"

"Of course."

"Wow, Qin Mubai! You villain!" Princess Gao Yang's expression changed and said angrily, "I have never heard you say it, sincere respect to my father!"

Qin Mubai was startled, and then smiled bitterly: "You really will tag people indiscriminately. To your father...what do you need to say? He is a monarch, I am a minister, that is not only respect, but It’s awe."

Princess Gao Yang curled her lips and muttered: "The emperor, in your eyes, he is just an emperor! You have never regarded him as a father-in-law."

"Uh..." Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, turning his eyes, "Is there a difference?"

"Of course there is!" Princess Gao Yang said angrily, "For me, it makes a big difference!"

Qin Mubai was taken aback for a moment, and nodded: "I understand."

The pretty and exquisite face of Princess Goyang changed its expression instantly like a face change, and said with a smile: "Really understand? That's right! From now on, my relatives will be yours. Do you know?"

"I know! When I was ten years old, I learned to nag like a dozen-year-old old woman--well, the Weiguo Palace is here, remember what I told you."

The two got out of the cart and horse, usually in the closed Weiguo Palace. Today, the door is open, and there are men that Qin Mubai is familiar with, Su Lie and Su Dingfang.

He seemed to know that Qin Mubai was coming today, and he waited at the door for a long time. At this moment, he greeted him, saluted first, and then smiled: "Mu Bai, I knew you would come today."

"Hehe, you are Su Dingfang, right? I heard Mu Bai talked about you. You are Mu Bai's senior, right?" Princess Gao Yang rushed and said, "Mubai said you are amazing, you are Weiguo The proud disciple of the public!"

"Where, the princess has won the award." Su Dingfang smiled not to be surprised, and arched his hands, "Two, please."

Qin Mubai smiled back, walked in with him, and asked some about Li Jing's current situation, everything was fine.

Li Jing moved the book case to the main hall, where he was sitting attentively looking at a volume of books. Qin Mubai saw the pose from a distance, and knew that the old man was probably going to test the two-man military strategy today. So he told Princess Gaoyang: "We will discuss the art of war in a while, don't disturb the situation!"

"What? It sounds like I'm really confused and always like to mess around..." Princess Gao Yang made a face at Qin Mubai while Su Dingfang was not paying attention.

The three of them entered the main hall. Li Jing looked up and saw that Princess Gao Yang was still a little surprised. He hurriedly got up and prepared to give a big gift. Princess Gao Yang smiled and ran over to hold him, and said with a smile: "Alright, Grandpa Wei, I just followed Mu Bai to smash the door today, so don't give any big gifts. Otherwise, I will go back and Mu Bai will scold me. ."

"Oh? Does he dare?" Li Jing laughed.

Qin Mubai stepped forward and gave a salute: "I have seen my teacher."

Li Jing nodded to him, hehe smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, please come and serve tea."

"No need!" Princess Gao Yang smiled, "I said I just walked with Mu Bai. Duke Wei Guo, you can just treat me as Mu Bai's small class, not a princess. .Otherwise, you all must be cautious."

"Oh?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I forgot, Princess Gao Yang, will soon marry Mu Bai, haha! Marry a chicken and a dog, a dog and a dog, um , Great, great!"

"What kind of chicken or dog..." Princess Gao Yang curled her face and murmured, "Duke Wei Guo, you just accept these things as students?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Mubai gave her an angry look, "Princess, you still... go have fun in the yard!"

"Oh, just go, what's the cruel thing!" Princess Gao Yang made a sorrowful gesture, and really said his words, and went to the yard to have fun.

Li Jing caressed the beard and smiled: "Mu Bai, you still have some ability! Under the circumstances, you are probably the only one who can tidy up Princess Gao Yang so convincingly."

"Teacher has passed the award." Qin Mubai laughed, "It will be a long time, is everything okay with the teacher?"

"Okay, very good." Li Jing smiled, greeted Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang to sit next to him, and said, "Mubai, if you don't come back from Lanzhou, the old man should write in person. I called you back."

Qin Mubai was taken aback, and said suspiciously: "Why did Duke Wei say this?"

Li Jing smiled and said nothing.

Su Dingfang wrote lightly: "Every time the teacher finishes a victory, he always returns to Beijing as soon as possible, and returns his military power. Even if the emperor intends to keep his teacher in the army, the teacher will do his best to resign."

Qin Mubai suddenly realized, bowed his hands and bowed: "Students understand!"

Li Jing stroked the long beard, nodded and smiled, and said: "Actually, it is easy to be a minister, and it is even harder to be a king. Even if the emperor can fully believe in you, it is no match for the short and long. It is mediocre to not be jealous, Mu Bai , As long as the mind is clear and bright, why not be indifferent?"

Qin Mubai nodded thoughtfully, chewing the meaning of Li Jing's words carefully. It's not hard to hear that I have been in trouble in Lanzhou, and I will inevitably be jealous of some fellow civil servants.

Who exactly is it? Don't ask this. The emperor will give Qin Mubai a half-year "marriage leave", and Li Jing will want to write to him to call him back.

"As long as the mind is clear and bright, why not be indifferent?"-A short number, perhaps it is Li Jing's philosophy of being an official. But it's really easy to talk about it in order to be as free as he is?

Li Jing looked at Qin Mubai with a smile, his eyes were very soft, but they seemed to have magic power that penetrated the human heart. Qin Mubai felt that there was nothing to hide under his eyes.

"Mu Bai, you are very savvy. The old man can say in front of Dingfang that you are the most savvy among the old man's students." Li Jing laughed.

Su Dingfang also smiled calmly: "It's true. It's fierce, blunt, not as good as Mu Bai in case."

"But the old man can also say in front of Mu Bai, setting the side is the hardest and most diligent." Li Jing still smiled.

Qin Mubai smiled ashamed, and said, "Students are indeed...have always been not very focused."

"You can't be blamed either. Your environment and your personality determine that you can't fully specialize in a certain thing." Li Jing smiled, "You are a rare all-rounder. It’s amazing. Maybe you can’t reach the top in a certain aspect, but your comprehensiveness also makes you exceptional. Mu Bai, the old man will no longer pass on your art of war. If you can thoroughly study the two parts of "Jade Account" , It’s very good. People cannot be perfect in everything. The old man no longer teaches your art of war, not because you are unworthy to teach, but you have more things to learn."

"This..." Qin Mubai was at a loss for a while. This was a little bit beyond his expectation.

Li Jing and Su Dingfang smiled at each other without saying a word, letting Qin Mubai look at them blankly.

"As long as you have a clear mind, why not be indifferent?" Li Jing repeated this sentence again, smiling, "Mu Bai, this is what you have to learn in the future. The art of war is enough for you. One more MSG drilling will not improve you much. On the contrary, Dingfang will continue to drill the art of war throughout his life, determined to become an outstanding soldier. Because, apart from this path, he has no other way to go. And you No, Mu Bai."

Qin Mubai suddenly realized that, he bowed his hands and bowed his hand: "Thanks for the teacher's call, the students are ready!"

Li Jing and Su Dingfang both laughed long, and Li Jing said, "Tell me, what do you understand?"

Qin Mubai smiled and smiled very confidently. He said: "The teacher's meaning is that in the future, students must not only understand the art of war, but also be able to gather people who understand the art of war."

"Great goodness." Li Jing laughed haha. For the first time in front of Qin Mubai laughed so unrestrained and comfortable!

Su Dingfang still had a calm expression and smiled: "So, Mu Bai, you are destined to be better than Su. You don't have to be humble. You don't just want to gather people who understand the art of war, but also Control. In addition to military strategists, you have to gather and control politicians, officials, wealthy people, and even anyone with a skill. This is a skill that is higher than the art of war. Su, you can't learn it in a lifetime. My teacher said, you Qin Mu Bai seems to be born for these."

"Yes! In this world, everyone has their own skills. Mu Bai, you are very versatile, this is very similar to a person." Li Jing said.

"Who?" Qin Mubai asked in confusion.

Li Jing's eyes fell softly on Qin Mubai, but he was a little uncomfortable. Next, the two words he uttered made Qin Mubai even more shocked--

"Holy One."

Qin Mubai was startled.

He didn't expect that such a thing would be said to Li Jing, who has always been cautious. To say that a courtier is like an emperor-isn't this a taboo, or even a rebellion? "Don't be surprised." Li Jing's expression was still indifferent and smiled. "This is not what the old man said."

Qin Mubai's expression is even more solemn, and he asks: "Did the emperor personally say it?"

"You are really smart." Li Jing smiled.

Su Dingfang said: "Regardless of identity, today's sage is definitely an all-rounder. He has been in the army since the age of sixteen. He is a genius soldier who has no disadvantages in battle and is loved by soldiers for his bravery. He is full of abilities and talents. Poetry, calligraphy, and melody are all exquisite; he is very good at riding, archery, and martial arts. He even knows some astronomical calendars and medical divination, familiar with several dialects of the Tang Dynasty, and can use Turkic language. , Tufanhua and simple exchanges with Hu people."

Qin Mubai was not shocked by what Su Dingfang said. He had worked in Baiqi for a long time and was often accompanied by the emperor. Of course he knew this. He said, "But...what does this have to do with me?"

"Hehe..." Li Jing said with a meaningful smile, "At that time, when the Lanzhou Planning Commission was determined, His Majesty the Emperor came to me and talked about you. His Majesty said, seeing you, he feels like seeing a young man. Yourself. Mu Bai, you don’t have to be anxious. I think His Majesty’s words mean that he believes you can accomplish great things!"

Qin Mubai nodded softly and was silent.

"The old man doesn't know what he meant by'achieve great things'." Li Jing said, "but the old man understands the emperor's intentions. He wants to cultivate you into an all-rounder who is not unfamiliar in every aspect. . Use you to control... the kind of person who is particularly proficient in a certain aspect and has a skill."

On hearing this, Qin Mubai was truly taken aback and looked at Li Jing with wide eyes.

Li Jing's old eyes were narrowed, "Mu Bai, you have a bright future!"

This time, Qin Mubai was not used to being courteous with Li Jing, but nodded knowingly, saying: This is probably the reason why Li Jing no longer spread my art of war? ... As he said, Emperor Li Shimin had great expectations of me because of my comprehensiveness. However, if I am too outstanding in the military, will no one be able to suppress me by then? Li Jing didn't make the words clear, but what he meant was nothing more than to let me learn-the master's mind!

Is someone from Qin Qin sometime in the future, will become Datang's... a generation of officials?

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai couldn't help frowning. Power, no one wants to. But power is also a double-edged sword, and it's hard to beat the cold at heights. The greater the power means the greater the desire and the greater the risk. At the same time, more will be lost...

"Mu Bai, don't think too much." Li Jing seemed to see through Qin Mubai's mind, and said calmly, "Remember that old man's words, as long as the mood is clear, why not be indifferent?"

"Yes, the students remembered." Qin Mubai bowed his hands and bowed.

Li Jing nodded and smiled, suddenly raised his finger to Su Dingfang, and said, "Go to Lanzhou again and bring Dingfang."

"Yes." Qin Mubai said nothing, bowing his hands.

Su Dingfang also bowed his hands and said nothing.

Without discussing the art of war, the three sat and chatted for a while. Li Jing was afraid that Princess Gao Yang would be upset by waiting, so Qin Mubai went back earlier. Qin Mubai didn't stay too much, and walked away.

Before leaving, Li Jing untied a string of strange blue-green beads from his wrist and gave it to Qin Mubai, saying: "This is when the old man conquered the Turks and captured Jieli Khan, Jieli personally gave it to me. Yes. He said that it was polished from a strange Turkic jade, which symbolized victory and glory. He was defeated and insisted on giving the beads to me privately, but he couldn’t get rid of it. Today, the old man gave it away. Here you are, as a wedding gift for you and Princess Gaoyang. But not for you to gain more victory and glory. In the future, you will not lack these."

"That's..." Qin Mubai took it curiously, holding it in his palm, somewhat cool.

Li Jing smiled slightly: "It will always be cool, and it won't get much warmer when you stick it on your body. You wear it on your wrist, and always remind yourself-clean, calm."

"Thank you mentor!" Qin Mubai bent over and bowed his hands in prayer.

"Okay, go!" Li Jing waved and smiled.

Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang left the Palace of Weiguo, Qin Mubai rode on a horse, thinking about Li Jing all the way, a little absent-minded. Princess Gao Yang muttered unhappily in the car: "It's so boring! You three big men talked about the art of war, which made me wander about a dozen times in the yard alone. Mu Bai, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing." Qin Mubai smiled lightly and said, "Ling'er, originally planned to go to the Weiguo Palace for dinner, but it didn't work. How about, are you interested in going to Qinxian Pavilion for a tooth sacrifice with me? "

"Okay!" Princess Gao Yang responded with excitement, but immediately changed her face, "No! I don't like going there, there are too many women, so you should be honest-go to the harem! Harem! How about a vegetarian meal with my mother?"

Qin Mubai was taken aback and nodded: "Also."

Yin Defei?

Long time no see...
