The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1805 One World, Two Brothers
night.

No wind.

In the endless hinterland of the camp, Li Futu was in the tent, observing the sand table map of Halsey Swamp, and the surrounding candlesticks provided dim light.

"Boss, someone wants to see you."

The one that came in was the bull's head.

He and Ma Mian volunteered to stand guard in front of Li Futu's tent, but Li Futu refused several times to no avail, and finally had to agree.

"Who?"

Li Futu didn't raise his head, he was still observing the terrain.

Niutou paused for a moment, his expression became a little weird, and finally he said: "...is the left envoy of the temple, Li Haotian."

Li Futu frowned, and finally raised his head.

"Li Haotian?"

He looked at the bull's head for a while, his expression gradually calmed down, and then he said, "Let him in."

Niutou decisively turned around and walked out.

Perhaps because the identity of the visitor was too sensitive, Ma Mian gave him the opportunity to report.

Not long after Niutou went out, a figure walked into the camp. Instead of wearing the gorgeous and dazzling golden sun robe, he chose ordinary casual clothes.

In his hand, he was carrying a jug of wine.

"Didn't disturb your work?"

The former young master of the Li family looked at Li Futu and said in a calm tone.

Li Futu shook his head, showing no expression of joy or anger.

"sit."

The two sat down on wooden chairs made locally from Halsine trees.

"Emissary Li Zuo came late at night, is there anything urgent?"

Li Futu asked in a formulaic tone.

"It's nothing, I just want to have a drink with Emperor Yan suddenly."

Li Haotian put the jug on the small square table between the two chairs.

"The big battle is coming, after tonight, I don't know if I still have this chance."

Li Futu was silent for a while, and glanced at the jug with a large capacity.

Drinking alcohol in the army is a big taboo, but he didn't choose to be unreasonable when the other party came here kindly.

"Bring two bowls."

he said loudly.

Soon, Ma Mian found two white bowls, and quickly withdrew them.

Opening the jug and filling the two bowls with wine, Li Haotian picked up one of the bowls.

"Please."

"Please."

Li Futu also raised his bowl.

The two chose to drink it all at the same time.

"I didn't expect that there would be a day when we could sit and drink together."

Li Haotian put down the bowl slowly.

Li Futu put the bowl on the table and remained silent.

"Is Luoshen alright?"

Li Haotian asked with a smile.

Li Futu nodded, but in the flickering dim candlelight, he still didn't speak.

"I used to have a great fight with Cao Xiuge, but in the end we were both just fetching water from a bamboo basket. I was looking forward to the day when she would dominate the world, but I didn't expect..."

Li Haotian stopped, picked up the jug again and poured wine into the two bowls.

"It's true that people are not as good as heaven."

"Why did you choose to join the temple?"

Li Futu finally spoke.

"For revenge on me?"

Although he has the same father and half mother, but in terms of blood, this man is still his relative in this world.

"In the beginning, there was such an idea. However, revenge is not very accurate. I want to prove that what you can do, I can also do."

The man who has jumped from a young man of aristocratic family to the left envoy of the temple said with a smile: "I am not a character who admits defeat. Even though I know that things are irreversible, I still want to prove something, but these years have passed, I have finally woken up, and I am afraid that I will never surpass you in this life."

Speaking of this kind of words, but there is no decadence in his tone, instead it is full of... relieved.

Once again he raised the bowl to signal to Li Futu, Li Haotian looked sincere.

"I respect you for this bowl of wine. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen at Cao Xiuge's feet in the end. The end would definitely be worse than now. Thank you, you let me see the real scenery of this world."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Futu to reply, Li Haotian raised his bowl and drank it with his head up, very heroic.

In silence, Li Futu also finished a bowl of wine.

"I haven't drank alcohol for many years. The last time I drank alcohol was probably when I was in Kyoto."

Li Haotian smiled and pinched the jug.

"Futu, do you still remember that we were in the mansion when we were young?"

Hearing this title, Li Futu's eyes fluctuated slightly.

Li Haotian didn't realize it, as if immersed in the memories of the past, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Because of being naughty at that time, I wanted to steal wine to feed the fish in the pond, but I accidentally knocked over the bottle of Moutai that my grandpa treasured, and then you were punished by my grandpa to stand under the sun. In fact, the idea of ​​stealing wine was my fault Yes, but seeing grandpa get angry, I dare not admit it, why didn't you confess me at that time?"

Even with the passage of time, some memories will never fade.

The afternoon many years ago also resurfaced before Li Futu's eyes.

At that time, he was punished to stand in the sun, while the eldest grandson of the Li family was cared for by his mother, who kept asking him nervously if he was injured.

"What if I confess you? It's just that one more person will be punished."

Li Futu said softly, and took the initiative to pick up the jug.

Li Haotian smiled.

"Actually, there's one thing you don't know. My father knew that I was the one who got you punished. He taught me a hard lesson afterwards. I didn't tell you because of face."

Li Futu held the jug, paused for a moment, then continued to pour wine into his own bowl.

"Now that I think about it, I'm really incompetent as a big brother. Every time you make a mistake, you go out and take the blame, while I hide behind. When I grow up, seeing Luoshen and you come together, I feel even more restrained." I can't help the jealousy in my heart."

Li Haotian frankly stated the darkness and flaws about human nature that once appeared in him.

Li Futu drank the wine with neither sad nor happy expression.

"it's already over."

"Yeah, it's all over."

Li Haotian nodded slowly, then grabbed the little flagon left and drank directly.

Outside the tent, the night was getting darker.

Li Haotian put down the empty jug.

"Okay, I won't disturb your rest. You are busy with your daily affairs, but you have to maintain plenty of energy. The survival of the human race depends on you."

He stood up.

Li Futu said.

"I send you."

The two walked to the tent together.

Before going out, Li Haotian paused.

"Futu, no matter whether you admit that you are from the Li family or not, I, Li Haotian, are very honored to have a brother like you. I think grandpa and father should be proud to have offspring like you."

Li Futu remained silent.

The man who once exclaimed, "He gave birth to Li Haotian, He gave birth to Li Futu" smiled.

"Okay, don't send any more."

He lifted the camp cloth and walked outside.

Li Futu stood where he was, silently watching him disappear into the night.
