Chapter 117
Stewed chicken with shiitake mushrooms, steamed bream, stir-fried rapeseed heart, and fried pork slices with wild rice stems. The dishes are simple but full of aroma. Li Kun put down the bowl after eating three bowls of rice and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full."

Gu Qianli looked at his slightly thin face, "You haven't been doing well recently, it seems that you have lost a lot of weight."

A word of caring made Li Kun feel like drinking honey, and he couldn't help reaching out and grabbing Gu Qianli's fingers: "A Li, you care about me, you still care about me, it's great that you don't blame me, I'm so afraid of you If you are angry with me, you will never talk to me again, my mother and concubine are gone, and I have no close relatives around me, I am very lonely."

Seeing his sad look, Gu Qianli felt a little heartache, she said: "How come, we have always been friends, you have helped me so many times, besides, you were also forced by your father, it is not true The second prince, although your mother and concubine are gone, you still have the emperor brother. He has always been true to you, just like his own brother. Don't you want to hurt his heart, okay? What he is most afraid of is that one day his brothers will break the wall, and he is afraid that he will go against you."

Li Kun stared blankly at her hands that were drawn out without leaving a trace, "I know that Brother Huang is good to me, but I have no choice, hurting anyone is not what I want, my father is obsessed with it, I don't know how to persuade him. "

"Then have you ever thought about it, if one day your father is defeated, at least your brother will save his life for your sake, and if your father wins, will he save brother Hong's life? Absolutely not. Possibly! Do you have the heart to see such a scene? Although Brother Hong will not lose, the people of this country are suffering from the flames of war, internal strife, and foreign troubles are imminent. When the time comes, the fisherman in the small neighboring countries will benefit, and you will be a disaster for the country and the people. Minister." Gu Qianli knew that Li Kun was a kind-hearted person, so she moved her with affection and realized that she wanted to influence him with her ideals.

Li Kun didn't expect Gu Qianli to have such an insight in a few months. He couldn't help being ashamed. He was full of different emotions for Ming, and naturally he didn't want this country to be torn apart because of the fighting between brothers, but The father will not listen to his persuasion.

"A Li, my father..."

"Have you ever thought about replacing it and letting your father Wang Ya take care of himself for the rest of his life." Gu Qianli went straight to the point: "If you want to, I will do my best to help you."

Li Kun was taken aback by her statement: "This... this is an act of disloyalty and filial piety."

"Could it be that if you ruined the Ming Dynasty and harmed the people, or if your father killed Li Yan, or if Li Yan killed your father, would you be loyal and filial? Wrong, to restore peace to this world, and to restore the people to live and work in peace and contentment Loyalty and filial piety are the loyalty to the Supreme Emperor who worked so hard to create this foundation, and the filial piety that the Supreme Emperor loves you father and son for half your life." Gu Qianli spoke righteously, but Li Kun was powerless to contradict him, so he could only bow his head and sigh.

"Let me think about it, but not only my father, my half-brother is also ambitious. He is the most supportive and yearning for this war. He is different from me. He will not let go of anyone who goes to power. peak of opportunity."

Thinking of his half-brother, he still has lingering fears. Although he has only been in Peiping for a few months, he has heard a lot about his brother, and he deeply feels that his ambition is far stronger than that of his father.

Gu Qianli didn't know who his younger brother was and what kind of character he was, but if he wanted to grow up with Li Su's close friend Hei, he must have a more sinister heart. Thinking that Li Kun might face another kind of brotherhood in the future, she Can not help but also silent.

The two did not talk, and did not rest until dark.

Li Yan sent people to chase after him all the way, but found that there was no one they were looking for in the carriage. He could only ask people to find a way to sneak into Beiping and the enemy's military camp to find out information.

Gu Liancheng was also very anxious these days. Li Kun went out for several days and didn't come back. He must have conspired, but he couldn't find out the news, but these days he paid close attention to the movement around him, so when he saw a few When strange faces appeared around the barracks at the same time for two days, he attracted attention.

He didn't know whether it was a friend or an enemy, so he could only observe secretly, and found that these people looked anxious, and they obviously watched the women outside the barracks very carefully. He couldn't help but have a bad idea in his heart, could it be that something happened to Li'er .

Unable to hold back the anxiety in his heart any longer, he took a chance to go out and walk in front of a snack seller on purpose.

"Brother, I have been fighting recently, why do I still have the time to sell things? What if I get injured in a war?"

The man looked at Gu Liancheng with a flattering smile on his face: "Bingge is right, but it's a pity that there are old and young among us, and it's not easy to support a family, so we can only go out and eat."

"Oh, your accent doesn't look like a Pekingese, but it looks like you're from the south, why did you come here so far." Gu Liancheng casually picked up a pastry.

"Oh, I can't help it. A businessman, he doesn't matter where he goes. He doesn't have a fixed place." He sounded like a serious peddler, but his hands had already revealed his identity.

"Haha, don't worry, little brother, the battle won't start in the next few days, and if the adults are not around, our subordinates can also rest for a few days."

When the man heard that the person in charge was not there, he couldn't help but move his eyes. Gu Liancheng saw in his eyes and confirmed that these people came for Li Kun. After looking around, no one noticed him, so he lowered his voice and said : "Brother, are you from Beijing?"

The man was obviously taken aback, his smile almost froze on his face, and his hands were already on his waist.

"To tell you the truth, I was originally from the capital city. I originally went to Beiping to do some business, but unexpectedly I lost money and became penniless. I joined the army because I had no choice but to make a living. This time, I hoped to follow the army. I can return to the capital, my old mother is still waiting for me in Beijing, if you are from Beijing, can you bring me a letter back if it is convenient."

"Oh, that's how it is. I don't know where my little brother's family lives. I think if I can pass by, I will take it for you. If the road is far away, I can only feel embarrassed." The man looked at Gu Liancheng, and he didn't know why. Always feel kind.

"My family is in the former General Gu's mansion in the capital..."

"What, Gu Manor." The man's face immediately turned serious, "I don't know what General Gu is. I'm afraid the letter won't be delivered."

"Brother, don't get me wrong, I'm not a spy or something, and I'm not going to collude with people in the capital. It's just that my mother is working in the Gu mansion." Gu Liancheng was afraid that he would mistakenly think that he was going to rebel, so he quickly explained It is also true that his mother has been working in Gu's residence.

"Oh, so that's the case, then which master does she serve?" The man thought that if he was a slave in the Gu family, he would definitely know Miss Gu's family, and it would be great if he could use some spying to find some clues.
