For fame. When I was young, I had the same thoughts as you. Now that I am old, my desire for fame has faded a little, but I still don’t fully understand it.” The old general said intermittently, as if he was talking to someone he hadn’t seen for many years.

Old friends chatted about their concerns.

"I'm just like you. I don't want to stay in a place and deal with bandits and bandits all my life!" He tapped the table with his fingers, making a clicking sound. At this time, Xuzi admired Zhang Xutuo for choosing a place to drink.

No matter how high or low the two people spoke just now, the guests at the surrounding tables were chatting and laughing among themselves, and their attention was never attracted by the topics here.

"The kindness that your Excellency has maintained over the years will surely be engraved in the hearts of the common people!" Li Xu saw that General Zhang was a little drunk, so he put aside his own worries and comforted him with a smile.

"Ende?" Zhang Xutuo's eyes lit up again, and his smile was very interesting. "General Li, are you really the queen of Air Force General Li Guang?" This time he did not peel the pods, but crossed his fingers.

He asked with his head on his chin.

"According to the genealogy, I should be the twenty-fifth generation descendant of Flying General!" Li Xulu was stunned for a moment before replying. Xu Maogong once taught him that the descendants of Flying General Li Guang are a golden sign. Since it is true, he must not

Hidden so no one knows.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Xutuo smiled, his eyes watery.

"This is how the family tree is compiled!" Li Xu replied with a smile, raising his wine to cover his sight. Whether the genealogy is accurate is actually open to question. Just like Tang Gong Li Yuan could become King Liang Wuzhao at the same time.

The descendants of Li Hao and flying general Li Guang, the Li family in Shanggu also listed Li Hao as one of the outstanding figures of their ancestors. But in fact, Li Hao may have more Huns blood, but there may not be any difference between him and Li Guang.

Necessary contact.

"The family tree says that I am a descendant of Zhang Zhao. There are a lot of famous ancestors, but when I was a child, I had to beg my family for days if I wanted to eat a bowl!" Zhang Xutuo pointed to a pile of pods in front of him.

Explain with a smile.

"I'm about the same! I have to wait until the Chinese New Year to wear new clothes!" He picked up the wine jar and filled the wine bowls in front of each other. Zhang Xutuo's words just now brought the relationship between the two closer. When they were young,

Although those lives were a bit bitter, recalling them is full of warmth.

"So we people have a stronger desire for fame and are more likely to be disappointed!" Zhang Xutuo picked up the wine bowl, clinked it with Li Xu, and concluded.

Li Xu drank a bowl of wine happily, and the burning taste went straight to his forehead. Zhang Xutuo's words were simply what he felt, even though he didn't want to say them out.

"It's hard for you to tell us what His Majesty likes most today, isn't it?" Zhang Xutuo filled two glasses of wine and continued to ask.

"A bit! In fact, I haven't met His Majesty many times. Maybe it's just a random guess!" Li Xu smiled bitterly and drank a bowl of it for himself.

"Actually, Lao Pei and I have also heard some rumors, and we came to you just to confirm!" Zhang Xutuo added with a bowl of wine and wiped the remaining wine on his mouth.

Li Xu smiled bitterly. The two elders were both human beings. No matter how careful he was, he still wanted to follow others' rules. However, the two adults did not have any malice in their actions. They were just looking for someone to come forward. Anyway, Li Xu didn't tell them.

You can also think of other ways.

"You don't understand why Lao Pei and I suddenly became generous again, do you?" Zhang Xutuo asked while drinking.

"The road is still not smooth!" Li Xu shook his head. When he was in the prefect's office, Zhang Xutuo looked at him several times, which still makes him full of mysteries.

"During the Liao Dynasty's expedition in the spring of Long Live, many counties and counties violated the imperial law and did not hold everyone accountable, so Old Pei became more courageous. Now that the army has returned in triumph, with Long Live's temper, I am afraid we will find a few people to settle the score. So our

The gift must not be less than others!”

"Cough! Cough!" Li Xu choked all the wine in his lungs and coughed loudly. He didn't expect Pei Caozhi to be in such difficulty, let alone that in the eyes of local officials, the court had become so unbearable. But everyone

But we must endure such a court and such a majesty. Because after the loss of order, the world will be more difficult.

"Drink slowly, don't drink too fast! In fact, I was quite disappointed in the early years, but as I became more disappointed, I gradually got used to it!" Zhang Xutuo sighed softly and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Li Xu sat upright and silently raised his bowl to accompany him. He did not expect that General Zhang Xutuo would be more disappointed in the court than himself. If the other party did not tell him, who would have expected that he would work hard for local security and wish he could rip out his heart and donate it to him?

How could Old General Zhang of the Sui Dynasty be filled with deep anger?

"I hope to see a court that is considerate of the people, because I am just a commoner who has had nothing to eat. I hope to see a clean officialdom, because once they were corrupt, it was enough for my father to work three times.

Life." Zhang Xutuo lifted the wine jar upside down and both Xu Zi and he dropped the wine.

"When the late Emperor first founded the Sui Dynasty, I thought I had achieved what I wished for. But I started to be disappointed when I was thirty years old, and I continued to be disappointed until I was fifty years old!" His smile was a bit bitter, but his tone was contradictory to the expression on his face. It seemed that

With a little pride.

"But I never feel sorry! General Li, do you know why?" This time, Zhang Xutuo did not raise the wine bowl in a hurry, but asked in a very, very solemn tone.

"Please give me your guidance!" Li Xu clasped his fists and saluted. These days, he has been very confused. After listening to Zhang Xutuo's confused words, his mood gradually became cheerful. He knew that the old general was giving him guidance, so he used

A very grateful attitude to be taught.

"Because I swore to protect this place. But not for their gratitude!" Zhang Xutuo brought his face close to Li Xu, pressed his arm on his shoulder, and said in a very low voice. "Look at them

, think about it, think about what is the most precious thing in your life. Think about it, have you remembered it?"

"What is the most precious thing in this life?" Xuzi couldn't think of it. Is it these warm memories in the tavern? He couldn't be sure. He knew that he was still young and could not understand Zhang Xutuo's mentality at this time. But he found that

He is no longer as troubled as before because he is now doing something equally meaningful.
