Chapter 218 The most difficult choice

Li Minru's mansion is brightly lit and the atmosphere of the festival is very festive, and it is two different realms from the gloomy Magistrate's Mansion.

The Li family is also a big family, but for this reunion dinner, only Li Minru, his wife Fang Xiuli, and his daughter Li Yumeng and the other three were entertaining Du Shengting in their own residence. At noon, the family reunion of the Li family had ended.

General Li was careful about the level of the banquet hall. There was no such small banquet hall in the Grand Marshal's Mansion. From beginning to end, General Li and his wife did not mention any words about their daughter and Du Shengting. General Li's precious daughter Li Yumeng has not seen each other for many years. When they meet again, they are completely different from each other.

Li Yumeng is no longer as willful as before, doing whatever he wants and saying whatever he wants. Instead, he takes the reserve that a girl should have at home, just eat and drink when she should drink, and does not have to rub against Du Shengting as crazy as she once was.

Sitting there with a lot of worries!

Perhaps because the Marshal and the old lady just passed away, General Li and his wife told her daughter that she must do whatever she wanted. Anyway, Du Shengting felt that this woman was different from before. Fortunately, she was not as comfortable as before, and he was much more comfortable.

General Li did not advise Du Shengting to drink much, but let him drink as he please. Until after the exquisite New Year's Eve dinner, Fang Xiuli used the excuse of going to play cards with several sisters-in-law with her daughter, so she did not drink with them. She also specifically advised Du Shengting to watch Li Minru and not allow him to drink more.

Du Shengting smiled and replied, "Yes, just let Fang Xiuli rest assured."

When Li Yumeng left, he stared at Du Shengting for a while, and said in a reserved and warning tone, "You are the same. You are not allowed to drink my good wine like boiled water."

Du Shengting said with a funny look, "I dare not. Even my uncle dares to drink too much, how dare I!"

The funny people laughed, and the New Year’s Eve dinner was over successfully.

Du Shengting and Li Minru moved to the study, and this was the beginning of the serious matter.

Li Minru went straight to the topic, and the Marshal and the old lady suddenly passed away strangely. If they had to investigate, several sons would be suspected. Secondly, back to the present, the army must have no commander for a day. Qincheng was originally the territory of the Du family. After the Marshal passed away, there was no new Marshal to take charge of the overall situation. It was a vacant in the court, which was definitely not a good thing.

Li Minru looked at Du Shengting a little, then continued, "You and Lao Wu, their abilities, military merits, military command skills, etc., let's talk about human favors. I am his uncle. Is it wrong to support him?" He looked at Du Shengting with open eyes and said.

Du Shengting nodded and looked at Li Minru openly, "That's right, this is human nature." In addition to the seven aunts and aunts on the side of the Grand Marshal, he was the brothers he had worked hard to win over, because he did not have the mother like Lao Wu, nor did he have the uncle's family in such a big family to support him.

Li Minru nodded and continued, "Your father and commander didn't expect you to die so soon and early, so he was reluctant to hand over the power of the Qin army to you early. He had never told me the truth, but I think he guessed that our Li family, Lian family and Bai family will unite to deal with you, so he has been hesitating about the candidate."

Du Shengting probably guessed what Li Minru was going to say next, but he couldn't guess what he said in detail.

After a brief silence, Li Minru looked at Du Shengting and said, "Tonight is a secret conversation between our father and father, and it is also a heart-wrenching conversation. Tell me the truth, the family and the Qin army ask you to choose one, how do you choose? Which one? Not to mention both, it is impossible. No one has both bear and fish palm at the same time."

Du Shengting didn't think about how to answer this question at all, because he has been thinking about this question for a while, almost every moment, so he blurted out, "Uncle, can I allow me to say a few more words?"

Li Minru glanced at Du Shengting, "Try not to talk nonsense to me, I have never liked to listen to those false things."

After Li Minru said this, Du Shengting felt that there was no need to say something, so let's get straight to the point!

"I choose the Qin army." Du Shengting said confidently.

Li Minru was not very shocked, but looked at Du Shengting and nodded slowly, finally slapped twice, "Okay, very good, this is the young coach in the minds of your father and you!"

According to the current internal structure of the Du family and Qin army, coupled with the various harassment from the Japanese, even if Du Shengting chose not to be the commander of the Qin army, chose to leave the military or political arena, and retreat to the other side, and could not give the safety of his family at all, and would be assassinated at any time, because one mountain could not tolerate two tigers. Even if the fifth brother saw that he was allowed to let him go, would the Li family have?

Will the Li family let the huge collateral relatives behind Lao Wu let them go?

Will the Japanese let them go?

Will Lao Wu revenge the hatred between the father and the old lady?

Will Lao Wu cooperate with several other major military forces to eradicate the Japanese's highly poisonous base?

These are all unknown answers, and no one can say that. Only when you sit in that position can everything be possible. Otherwise, just Liu Ruyan, he would not be able to guarantee that he could protect her. Let alone others, let alone that sounds so good.

Li Minru nodded and said, "To be honest, I'm not at ease with the Qin army and Northwest to Lao Wu, but if I leave it to you, what can I trust you?" He looked at Du Shengting, staring at him motionlessly, waiting for his reply.

Du Shengting understood that it was useless to swear to swear, but he didn't seem to be sure what Li Minru wanted to say, but he was betting in his heart that as long as he didn't force him to marry Li Yumeng, he didn't dare to gamble.

Li Minru continued, "Although the Qin army was established on the foundation of your grandfather, the Qin army can now exist independently in the entire northwest, with an army of nearly 200,000. It is the half of the country that we follow your father and commander. Therefore, between you and the Wu, it is obvious that the Wu family has a great chance of winning than you. So, give me a reason to stand on your side?"

Du Shengting closed his eyes and it was already very obvious!

Li Minru nodded and said, "Then I will tell you the truth! Your father and leader were many times stronger than your background back then, but his two wife of the family chose the daughter of the Li family. You should know this more than me."

Du Shengting smiled bitterly and said, "But uncle, I have already married."

Li Minru glanced at Du Shengting with a cold look and said angrily, "When your father and commander asked you to marry the daughter of Liu Dashu, you actually had a good plan. Unfortunately, now, you are different from our time. You are all pursuing free love, pursuing a marriage with love, and pursuing a monogamous marriage. This is all very good. So, I, Li Minru, have only one daughter in my life, and of course I will not accept polygamous marriage. I only have one woman in my life."

After Li Minru's inexplicable fire broke out, he glanced at Du Shengting, "Just be clear in your heart. After the third year of the New Year, I want to get your answer."
