Chapter 298 Ambition
"Well... I believe he is Hades."

It took a long time for Gao Changshou to wake up from his groggy state.

He shook his head and looked at Asha, obviously afraid of offending the Miao Wu again, a little helpless and vague, but very perfunctory: "Xin, okay? Let Feiyu and I talk about things."

Asha did not answer.

"Let's go." Li Xia said: "Let's look at the terrain again, and let you wake up a bit."

It was the fifth day of April, and the Mongolian army had just finished their tentative offensive. It was almost dusk, and the soldiers of the Qingfu army were rushing to repair the dilapidated Guancheng in the last bit of time before sunset.

Keduguan was built on the top of the mountain. The mountain is high and the slope is steep.

After walking for a while, Li Xia naturally held Gao Mingyue's little hand.

This was already their habit. At first, when they encountered difficult roads while marching, Li Xia would carry Gao Mingyue on his back, or lead her along. No one else dared to discuss this, and gradually they got used to it.

After looking at the south, they saw that the Mongolian army would not make any movement today. They went down to Guancheng, turned to the north, walked along the post road for a while, and saw the Kedu River at the foot of the mountain.

Here, now it is almost the junction of Tongchuanfu Road and Dali on the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, but the Song court is unable to govern.

When I came here, I saw that there was no one else around, only Li Xia, Gao Mingyue, and Asha. Gao Changshou finally said: "Feiyu has been thinking about it for a long time. Planning this territory, including this as a boundary."

"Temporary." Li Xia said: "In the future, either Mongolia will fight over, or we will fight over."

"If we can fight over and drive Mongolia out of Dali, is there no hope of Dali's recovery?"

"Muru, I'm not joking with you." Li Xia said: "You asked about my ambitions, I want to build a country. I thought about it a long time ago, this is a troubled time, and people who don't want to be a subjugated slave or a Mongolian in a troubled time Running dogs, the only way to compete in the world. To put it simply, I want to be the emperor. Leaving aside whether this is whimsical or not, I really do think so."

Gao Mingyue raised her head to look at Li Xia, with a slightly surprised expression, but only slightly, and then quickly lowered her head, looking at the hands they held together.

Ashahim took it for granted.

Li Xia's words were not spoken impassionedly and word for word.On the contrary, his tone was ordinary, and he seemed a little rambling, as if he was talking about an ordinary trifle.

This watered down their surprise.

Being the emperor was not a rare event for the Gao family. Many years ago, their ancestors recruited an alliance of 37 eastern Yunnan tribes for Duan Siping in this vicinity to assist the Duan family in establishing the country.

The Gao family also proclaimed themselves emperor for a time, and after returning the throne, they still have the reality of the Dali emperor.

Now that Gao Changshou is focused on restoring the country, it is naturally not to support the Duan family as emperor again.

But Gao Changshou was still stunned after hearing Li Xia's words. What surprised him was not that someone wanted to take advantage of the troubled times to compete in the world, but that this person was such a young and humble Li Xia.

Thinking about it again, he had guessed this a long time ago.

With Li Xia's character and ability, how can he be willing to be inferior to others?

"Crazy... Do you think you can found a country and become an emperor?"

"I plan to do this." Li Xia said: "If you ask me where my self-confidence comes from, I can only say... I am the reincarnation of Pluto, seriously."

"Ha." Gao Changshou turned his head and glanced at Asha, not daring to say anything.

He smiled wryly, as if in deep thought.

Gao Mingyue suddenly said in a soft voice: "From among the common people, fight to conquer the world with the sword, conquer chaos and violence, clarify the emperor's universe, and control the sea."

She seemed to be repeating Li Xia's ambition.

However, Gao Changshou seemed to realize something, and suddenly thought of the matter of Lu Gong marrying his daughter Liu Bang in "Historical Records".

"Is Feiyu serious?"

"Seriously." Li Xia said: "Although this topic is far away, I should tell you frankly now that I am here. You don't have to worry about us working hard and finally making a wedding dress for Song Ting... If you get lucky in the future, I am the emperor, the bright moon is the queen, and you are the king of Yunnan, and the world will live in Yunnan."

Gao Changshou stared blankly at Li Xia, his eyes gradually changed from surprise to firmness.

……

The night gradually fell.

After chatting with Gao Changshou, Li Xia said, "Mingyue and I will go shopping for a while."

"Okay." Gao Changshou walked towards Guancheng.

Ashahim also went a little further, and ran to the mountains to pick flowers and plants.

She is very strange, she follows Li Xia all day long, and most people would not avoid talking to Li Xia.But as long as Gao Mingyue and Li Xia wanted to be alone, she would stay away.

Probably because he likes Gao Mingyue and is willing to let this little girl get her wish.

In the light of the moon, Li Xia took Gao Mingyue's hand and wandered on the rugged small stone road.

"Do you think I'm using you?"

"Huh? No."

"I really need Muru to help me recover the 37 tribes in eastern Yunnan. But this is different from my proposal of marriage to you."

"Then... why did you propose marriage to me?"

"Let's be impulsive."

"what?"

"Because you are beautiful and easy to get along with, you can't help it."

It's not that Li Xia doesn't know how to coax girls, on the contrary, he is very good at it, but he just subconsciously said a few words, only to see that Gao Mingyue was too ashamed, and he felt quite guilty.

After all, the girls these days are different from those he used to deal with.

So he restrained himself a lot, and said solemnly: "However, even if it is two things, I am indeed in your favor. Because you are willing to marry me, your second brother is willing to help me, and the eastern Yunnan tribes have the possibility of being subdued by me. "

"No." Gao Mingyue said: "Actually, I understand very well that the Gao family has not had much ability. On the contrary, you have been saving us... The mountain people in the eastern Yunnan are not as powerful as yours Qingfu Army. I have been dragging you down all this time."

"That's helping each other."

"You help me more."

Li Xia said: "I just want to tell you that you have helped me a lot, so I don't need to be careful anymore."

Gao Mingyue looked up at Li Xia, as if in a daze.

Li Xia said again: "You have watched your family go from prosperity to decline these years, and you feel bitter... You can be bold, it's okay. You know, I borrowed a lot of power from your natal family."

Gao Mingyue couldn't help but hugged Li Xia.

She never felt that he needed to borrow any influence from her natal family, and with his ability, she could definitely find a more helpful woman from her natal family in Song Ting.

All this is just to make her no longer have to worry about being afraid.

"You didn't borrow my natal family's power... Obviously you saved my brother and me time and time again... I know that you can subdue all the tribes in eastern Yunnan without relying on the Gao family. With Asha to help you, you will obviously can do it……"

"There is a loan." Li Xia patted Gao Mingyue on the back and said, "More importantly, you are worth it. You yourself are very precious... How should I put it, what do you want in the future, what do you want to eat, what do you have? Where are you unhappy, in short, you can tell me anything, don't have to hide it, okay?"

"Ah."

"Of course, I may not agree to all of your requests. Sometimes I am very straightforward. If you refuse, you just refuse. You don't have to take it to heart."

Gao Mingyue said "hmm" again, nestled in Li Xia's arms for a long time, and then asked in a low voice: "Then can I make a small request?"

"what?"

"Can you act like a baby to me?"

"Ok?"

"It's just... not so calm and composed, worry about me a little bit, and show some temper." Gao Mingyue moaned like a mosquito.

She wanted to see Li Xia showing that she cared a lot for her once in a while.

Because she thinks he doesn't like her that much.

But Li Xia said, "No."

"what?"

"I'm too old for you, I can't act like a baby in front of a little girl."

"Obviously only a few months older than me."

Gao Mingyue looked up at Li Xia, and suddenly smiled, looking very happy.

She saw that he was embarrassed, because he was embarrassed about how to act like a baby to her.

That's enough, she has never seen anyone or anything in this world that can make him so difficult.

Gao Mingyue stroked Li Xia's face and said with a smile, "Okay, that's all."

"You're too easy to please."

"Yeah." Gao Mingyue took Li Xia's hand and turned to walk further north, saying to herself, "You don't even know that I can't fall asleep thinking of marrying you for a long time..."

The two walked north again for a while, after all, there was not much time for them to talk about love like this, and they turned back to Kedu Pass not long after.

~~
On the side of the post road, Asha twirled a flower and stood up, suddenly feeling extremely lonely again.

But when Li Xia and Gao Mingyue passed by her, Gao Mingyue let go of Li Xia and held Asha.

"Let's go, go back."

……

Gao Changshou stood on the pass city watching this scene, smiled, and looked up at the mountains and rivers to the north.

It was only after today that he could understand Li Xia's intentions better.

Relying on the Song Dynasty and occupying Zhaotong, only then can it resist Dali's Mongolia...
