Facing Li Xiu's repeated questioning, Chai Shao couldn't help but sigh, pondered for a moment before speaking again: "Okay, since you want to know what I want to come, then I'll just say it!"

When Chai Shao said this, he suddenly took a long breath and the expression on his face became very complicated. After a while, he continued: "I have always been a very conceited person. I have never been willing to be the last one. Moreover, I was quite prominent in the first half of my life, but I didn't expect to be defeated by your subordinates later. This made me hate you to the core and want to avenge you at all times. But I didn't expect that when the weather was about to go, I didn't expect that I had no time to take revenge on you. There was only one thing I couldn't figure out, and I hope you could help me solve it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to rest in peace if I die!"

"Oh? Do you have something to figure out?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show an interesting expression when he heard this. Chai Shao was almost dead, and he even came here to ask for advice. It seemed that this problem had tortured Chai Shao for a long time.

"I came from a noble family. Although our Chai family is not a top-notch family like the Five Cities, Qiwang, but it is quite famous. Moreover, I have been practicing literature and martial arts since I was a child. I was famous for my courage when I was young. Later, I was even more valued by the emperor. I was ranked as the Duke of the Kingdom at a young age. But what I can't understand is why I was defeated in your hands?" When Chai Shao said the last, his face was originally dull, and he looked at this question for a long time, but he couldn't understand why he lost to Li Xiu, who was still an unknown person at that time.

"It's because of this problem that you came to me?" Li Xiu asked with a surprised expression when he heard this.

"Yes, in terms of origin, title, and credit, I was far above you at that time, but I couldn't figure out why I had so many advantages but still lost to you?" Chai Shao also asked loudly at this time. He really couldn't figure out this problem. In recent years, he had not only tried to retaliate against Li Xiu, but also spent the rest of his time thinking about this problem.

"Haha, it's not that you can't figure it out, but you've just gotten into the horns." Li Xiu smiled calmly at this time. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see this problem. It's just that Chai Shao was in the situation and took him to a dead end.

"What does it mean?" Chai Shao coughed a few more times at this time, and then calmed down his excitement and said, his condition was too serious. If it weren't for asking Li Xiu to understand, he might have even gotten out of bed now.

"Do you still don't understand?" Li Xiu looked at Chai Shao's puzzled expression and couldn't help but shake it, "Actually, you didn't lose to me, but to yourself. At that time, you were better than me in all aspects, but you had great flaws in your personality. Your superior background also led to you being too selfish and only paying attention to interests when doing things. Apart from that, you don't take other things seriously!"

"What's wrong with selfishness? What's wrong with valuing interests? Are you not selfish and not valuing interests?" Facing Li Xiu's accusations, Chai Shao asked back on his face. He was almost dead. At this time, he threw all his usual disguise and mask aside, and all his words were directed to his true heart.

"Of course I am selfish and value interests. In fact, everyone in this world is like this. But no matter how selfish I am, I will not throw my newly married wife at home to attract everyone's attention on the wedding day, and then run away alone. I will not hold my wife tightly in the future for the sake of profit!" Li Xiu stared at Chai Shao with a sharp look at him and said loudly.

The most important reason why Chai Shao was defeated so badly was not Li Xiu, but Princess Pingyang. From the moment Chai Shao abandoned her, Princess Pingyang had already recognized Chai Shao's true face. If Chai Shao could be shameless, she would let go of Princess Pingyang early and not be entangled. With his family background, even if he was not Li Yuan's son-in-law, he could still be granted a title of marquis and prime minister. Unfortunately, he was too selfish and too greedy, so he grabbed Princess Pingyang and refused to let go.

If Princess Pingyang died as early as in history, then Chai Shao would have succeeded. Although the two did not have the reality of being a husband and wife, they confirmed the reputation of being a husband and wife. Moreover, the Li royal family would win over Chai Shao for some reasons, which made Chai Shao win both fame and fortune. Unfortunately, Li Xiu is now there, and Princess Pingyang's disgust of Chai Shao, which led to Chai Shao's future defeat.

"You..." Facing Li Xiu's accusations, Chai Shao was so angry that he trembled all over. An abnormal flush surged on his gray face. He couldn't say another word for a long time. It was probably the first time in his life that someone was pointing at his nose and scolding him.

"Chai Shao, you have reached this point, don't just be angry. Calm down and think carefully. How did you treat Xiuning at the beginning? And the reason why you were ruined later was actually just to forgive the fault for the first time!" Looking at Chai Shao who was so angry that he couldn't speak, Li Xiu spoke again.

Maybe Li Xiu's words played a role, maybe Chai Shaoren was about to die, and his thoughts changed a lot. He saw that he was really calm down slowly, and his face showed a little depressed look. After a while, he sighed and said, "You said it right, I was really sorry to Xiuning at the beginning!"

When I said this, Chai Shao paused, then looked up at Li Xiu and said, "I blamed you for your failure before, but now I have realized that these are all causes I planted myself, and later I have had these bitter fruits. As you said, I actually lost to myself."

When Chai Shao spoke at the end, his expression on his face became even more depressed. He had finally figured out the problem he couldn't understand before, but now he didn't feel any joy, but instead felt frustrated. It turned out that he had been resentful for half his life, but in the end he found that the person he should really resent was actually himself.

Thinking of the above, Chai Shao's whole body also collapsed. He was already as thin as a bone, but now he looks more like an old man in his twilight years. Li Xiu didn't say anything anymore. In fact, he had finished what he should say, and there was nothing to say about him and Chai Shao.
