"Li Xiu, are you sure there will be any incident in the south?" Qin Qiong asked very seriously when he heard this. Influenced by Li Shimin, he also valued Li Xiu very much because he believed that with Li Shimin's perspective, he would never misjudgment.

"It's true that during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang defeated Tuyuhun and occupied most of their territory. Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun was defeated. However, Fuyun was ambitious and took advantage of the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty to recover the country again, making Tuyuhun restore the country and its national strength was quite strong. If I had a good expectation, Tuyuhun would definitely make a big move within one or two months!" Li Xiu said very seriously at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Qin Qiong can no longer sit still, and then stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Military situation is urgent, Qin must go back to report to His Highness the King of Qin and say goodbye!"

Mr. Ma also understood Qin Qiong's temperament, so he did not try to keep him at the moment. He stood up and sent him away. However, after Qin Qiong left, he looked at Li Xiu with a smile on his face and said, "Boy, this is not like your usual personality. Aren't you most afraid of getting involved with the King of Qin and the court? Why did he take the initiative to remind him so kindly this time?"

"Uncle Ma, you don't know me too much. How could a person like me who serves the country and the people sit down and ignore the rebellion in the south?" Li Xiu said with a sad face at this time, as if he was very disappointed with Mr. Ma's misunderstanding.

"Is that true?" Ma Ye couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he saw Li Xiu's heartbroken look. However, thinking about Li Xiu's previous personality made him more determined to make his guess. It's not that he doesn't believe Li Xiu, but that Li Xiu's previous performance is really hard to believe!

Seeing Ma Master's suspicious eyes, Li Xiu shook his head in pain again and said nothing, but he sighed helplessly in his heart. Ma Master really knows him too much, and it seems that he will not think of anything to deceive him in the future.

However, no matter how suspicious Ma Ye is, Li Xiu would never tell him that the reason he took the initiative to remind Li Shimin was mainly to cheat Chai Shao, because in Chai Shao's military career, the expedition to Tuyuhun should be one of his most capable military achievements. However, if Li Xiu reminded Li Shimin, Li Shimin was now under the severity of Li Jiancheng and urgently needed military merits to prove himself, and he would probably run to attack Tuyuhun himself, so there would be nothing Chai Shao had to do.

"Xu'er, can General Qin believe it without doubt?" At this moment, the bearded guest who had been watching suddenly asked incredible ways. In his opinion, he should be cautious about such military and national affairs, but just Li Xiu's words, Qin Qiong ran to report Li Shimin without doubt. This is a bit too ridiculous, right?

"Haha~, Brother Zhang, don't doubt it. Li Xiu is very terrifying. If he is not sure, he will never say it. For example, last time he said that the prince would definitely be able to catch Liu Heita, but the King of Qin did not believe it. The two of them made a bet for this, but they didn't expect that a few days later, the prince would send Liu Heita's head to Chang'an!" Ma Master explained with a smile.

Hearing Ma Master's words, the bearded guest looked at Li Xiu even more surprised. He originally thought that Li Jing was already excellent enough, so he taught him the art of war, but he didn't expect that Li Jing had a better son. It seemed that he was too reckless before. With Li Xiu's temperament, he should not be so impulsive and turned away from the family. There must be many hidden stories that he didn't know about.

Qin Qiong left, and the bearded guest came to find Li Xiu and had something to discuss. Master Ma was also very tactful. After chatting for a few words, he said goodbye and left. As a result, only Li Xiu and the bearded guest were left by the river. It was already dusk, and their shadows were pulled long by the river. For some reason, they didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

"Uncle, you must have come after listening to your mother's words, right?" Li Xiu suddenly spoke at this time. Last time Hongfu Nu came to find him, he said that someone who could make Li Jing obedient was coming to Chang'an. Now it seems that he must be the bearded guest in front of him.

"Yes, the third sister is very worried about the conflict between you father and son, so after seeing me, I found an opportunity to tell me about this. At that time, I felt that there was no unresolved grudge between the father and son, so I didn't listen to the third sister's explanation and came to take you back to see your father. But now it seems a bit reckless!" The bearded guest tasted the liquor again and said. He also liked this liquor very much. For those who live on the sea all year round, wine is almost a must-have for their lives.

"Oh, mother is really unwilling to give up, but I really don't want to go back to that house anymore. Please let my uncle let my nephew go!" Li Xiu sighed first, then bowed to the bearded guest. He really couldn't think of any good way to get out, so he could only tell the truth, hoping that the bearded guest would stop rushing to this muddy water.

"Xu'er, can you tell me what happened to you and your father? How is it just because of that woman's words, that's your wrong thing!" The bearded guest also said with a serious look on his face. He was not a person who gave up easily, not to mention that he had agreed to Hongfu Nu before, so he wanted to figure out the reason why Li Xiu left the house first before making plans.

Seeing that the bearded guest still refused to give up easily, Li Xiu had no choice but to explain: "Since you know the reason why I first went out of the house, I won't say much. But later my mother came to persuade her in person. I decided to go back to the Li Mansion due to romance, but I didn't expect to see my mother's sister being locked in a cold Buddhist temple..."

Li Xiu's expression became more and more excited when he talked about the experience he saw Qi Niang that day, especially when Li Jing didn't ask, and wanted to hit him as soon as he saw him, an angry expression appeared on his face. It was also from that moment that there was no more family affection between the father and son.

The bearded guest listened to Li Xiu's story and his face slowly became gloomy. Finally, he suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "Don't be fooled! Second brother is simply too confused! If he could divide the smartness on the battlefield into housework, it would not lead to your father and son's rebellion!"

"Haha, uncle, don't be too angry. I am a strong person. The same is true for your second brother. If two strong people stay together, there will definitely be conflicts, so it may not be a good thing for me to leave the Li Mansion!" Li Xiu smiled and advised. He really felt that leaving the Li Mansion was a wise decision now.

Hearing that Li Xiu was not even willing to call Li Jing his father, the bearded guest couldn't help but fall silent. After a while, he said, "I believe Xiuer, you won't lie to me. Now it seems that your father has done a bit too much, and I have no shame to take you back again, otherwise it will only cause you and your second brother to have a bigger conflict."

"Uncle wise, if I go back today, I'm afraid it will be out of control!" Li Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the bearded guest giving up the idea of ​​taking him back.

"But although I won't take you back, you should also remember that no matter what happens, your father is still your father, and blood and family affection will never be cut off!" The bearded guest said seriously again at this time. He was really worried that Li Xiu would hold a grudge against Li Jing. Although Li Xiu's influence is still very small now, he is still very young and there are endless possibilities in the future. If Li Xiu gets power in the future, he is afraid that Li Xiu will make things difficult for Li Jing.

"Uncle is too worried. Do you think I look like that kind of person?" Li Xiu also guessed the meaning of Qiuyan's words at once, and said with a bitter smile. Although he and Li Jing had cut off their relationship, they would not have revenge on the Li family. Even the hateful Mrs. Xing was too lazy to pay attention to it. It can be said that in his heart, the entire Li family had completely ignored it.

"That's good. I will tell you about the third sister, so that she will not do anything bad!" The bearded guest said immediately, but then he looked at Li Xiu curiously again, and after a moment, he spoke again, "Xu'er, I'm very curious about where you got your skills, which made people like Qin Qiong and Ma Sanbao convince you?"

"This...haha..." Li Xiu felt a headache when he heard this. Why do everyone like to ask the bottom of the problem? It's like a chef's dish is delicious. As a customer, you just need to eat it. Why do you have to meet this chef? And where did the other party learn the cooking skills? Everyone has their own secrets, okay?

"Uncle, I heard that there are many pirates on Zhuzi Island. Would it be a bit unsafe for you to live there?" Li Xiu finally changed the topic very bluntly. He could not answer the question of the bearded guest at all, so he could only do this.

Seeing that Li Xiu was unwilling to answer this question, and also knew that there were many pirates in Zhuzi Island, the bearded guest looked at him in surprise, and then said: "The sea is a place that is not subject to any law, so as long as you go to the sea, anything can happen. For example, the sea merchants and pirates are actually the same group. When they encounter a weak fleet, the sea merchants will also become pirates. Zhuzi Island brings sea merchants from various countries. Of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are pirates!"

"Uncle, there are no one else now. To be honest, the pirates who built Zidao are not right. Are all the maritime merchants under your control?" Li Xiu smiled and asked, but the bearded guest did not ask, which made him feel relieved again.

"Haha, no wonder General Ma said that you are full of colorful things and always talked in circles. Don't you just want to ask if I am the biggest pirate leader?" The bearded guest said to Li Xiu at this time. Although the two of them had not known each other for a long time, he felt that Li Xiu's personality was very suitable for his appetite.

"This is what you said by uncle," Li Xiu smiled at this time. Although the reputation of pirates is not good, they are actually the first group of pioneers on the sea. They just don't know where the pirate leader Qiulangke has been. It would be a pity if he just stayed in the sea area of ​​Japan.
