It is hard to believe for those who hear it and very difficult for those who speak it.
Yuchi Xin was obviously not blind. He could see the sadness in the depths of Zhu Li's eyes at a glance. He then awkwardly let go of Zhu Li's clothes, but muttered to himself in his heart.
It is difficult for men to express their emotions. It is not that they are good at disguising themselves, but that they will try their best to give people a strong impression no matter when and where they are, because they are men, the symbol of working oxen.
But once the emotions can no longer be controlled and are expressed, it means that the pain is really extreme.
Since Zhu Li said that someone saw with their own eyes that Yuchi Jin and two others protected Li Keyong and escaped from Bianzhou, then it must be true. As the saying goes, "A gentleman can be deceived by his good ways, but it is difficult to deceive him by his unrighteous ways."
Zhu Li would never deceive him with such a thing that the truth could be revealed with careful investigation. It's not that she didn't dare, but there was no need to.
Could it be that my sister has really changed her heart
Yuchi Xin couldn't believe it. No, he rejected the idea as soon as it came to his mind. His sister was definitely not the kind of person who would easily change her mind. Yuchi Xin was very confident about this.
But if Yuchi Jin had not changed his heart, why did he do such an incredible thing
Doesn't she know that Zhu Li and Li Keyong are in a life-and-death relationship
He knew it clearly, but still saved Li Keyong. Why
Unable to figure it out, the two young men stood silently in front of the governor's mansion, frowning and thinking. After a long time, Yuchi Xin looked at Zhu Li with a complicated expression and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Li, tell me honestly, how does my sister treat you?"
Zhu Li was stunned when he heard this, but immediately became serious and said frankly: "There is no need to elaborate on Madam Yuchi's feelings for me. I can sum it up in one word. Without Madam Yuchi, I would not be where I am today."
Zhu Li's face was serious, and he spoke loudly. After a moment's thought, he continued, "To be honest, if Jin... ... Madam Yuchi had not disappeared, when I returned to Shuozhou this time, I would have already gone to Yuchi's mansion to ask for marriage."
"There's an old saying that goes, 'A wife is more important than her beauty as long as she is virtuous.' Madam Jin'er is both virtuous and beautiful. If I'm lucky enough to be married to her and spend my life with her, it will be a blessing I've earned in my next few lifetimes." Zhu Li had a serious look on his face and a sincere attitude. His words were certainly genuine.
Looking at Zhu Li's fair expression, Yuchi Xin suddenly gave up his original intention. If a person does not speak against his conscience, it at least proves that he is a real person, open and honest, and can be known to the world.
If that's the case, then why should he make things difficult for the other party
What's more, Zhu Li did not let his sister down. Zhu Li's statement about wanting to propose marriage to the Yuchi family was not just empty talk. From the other party's lost and gloomy look, it can be seen that he really fell in love.
There are many beautiful things in the world, but the most beautiful thing is true love, the satisfaction of having her by your side and having nothing else to ask for; the open-mindedness of knowing that as long as you are well, I don’t care, it’s the most real and touching.
As they are both men, and Yuchi Xin is not young anymore, he has naturally experienced the trials of love, hate, separation and reunion. He can also understand Zhu Li's mood at the moment. Since he understands it, why should a man make things difficult for another man
If he continued to blame and harass her, Yuchi Xin would feel guilty. There is no brother who does not love his sister. For her happiness, many people are willing to sacrifice their lives, and Yuchi Xin is no exception.
But seeing a man who was as worried and sad about his sister as he was,
It was because of Fang that Yuchi Jin was in danger. It was impossible for him not to blame Zhu Li in his heart, but he couldn't bear to blame or implicate her too much.
If Yuchi Jin has not changed her heart, then she is innocent; and if Zhu Li is completely unaware of Yuchi Jin's actions, isn't she also innocent
After thinking this through, Yuchi Xin sighed, "My sister has been very opinionated since she was young. In many aspects, even I, her brother, am inferior to her. All I can do is to do my best to make her happy while she is still unmarried."
"Once she has found someone she loves and will not marry anyone other than you, as her elder brother, I will no longer be able to interfere in her affairs. Since you two have feelings for each other, I am not an unreasonable person. I will not interfere in your emotional affairs, but I cannot help but ask about her safety now. I hope you can understand."
Zhu Li nodded. Yuchi Xin was worthy of the title of the eldest brother for being able to do this. Even if the other party beat him up, he would accept it. After all, he lost the other person's sister, and no one would just ignore it.
"However." Yuchi Xin's expression suddenly became very firm, and he said resolutely: "My sister is definitely not a fickle person. There must be a misunderstanding here. You don't have to worry about it. The most important thing now is to find her and bring her back."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Li nodded without hesitation, looked directly at Yuchi Xin and agreed, "I think so too, so I won't make any decision until the matter is clear."
Zhu Li's answer made Yuchi Xin secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and he looked much more pleased. It seemed that his sister had good vision. Although this guy was slow and stupid in terms of feelings, he was the kind of person who would hang himself on a tree once he made a decision. This had advantages and disadvantages.
Since ancient times, all the celebrities and talented men who claim to be romantic and indulge in women are men who are eloquent, sweet-talking and likable; while men like Zhu Li, who are introverted and stuffy, are either old bachelors or monks, and their fate is almost foreseeable.
Thinking of this, Yuchi Xin looked a little strange. How could such a dull man be favored by the smart little sister, and fall in love with her at first sight? He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
There is no logic to the feelings in this world. Feelings that can be found with evidence and reasons are mostly not true feelings. How can a rough man like him understand this
Facing Yuchi Xin's strange expression, Zhu Li had no idea what Yuchi Xin was thinking. Seeing that he was silent, Zhu Li made small talk and said, "Brother Pengju, are you doing well in Fanyang?"
Zhu Li only found out about Yue Pengju going to Fan Yang to serve after he came back.
However, this was Guo Qizuo's idea. He believed that Guo Qizuo must have his reasons, so he did not ask much. But now that he saw Yuchi Xin coming from Fan Yang, he couldn't help but ask about it.
"Yue Pengju?" Yuchi Xin's thoughts were interrupted, and he came back to his senses. He then said with a little envy: "Don't worry, that guy is a capable person, and now he is highly valued by Lord Li."
"Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he is also proficient in all kinds of military tactics. How can he be bad?"
Zhu Li smiled when he heard that. Yue Pengju was certainly not bad. He was the only commander-in-chief who could fight against the Jin people during a period of time in the Southern Song Dynasty. How could he not be powerful
Speaking of Yue Pengju, Yuchi Xin obviously had more to say, and said with admiration: "Before, no one could control the 'Five Tigers of Gao Family' under Li Quanzhong. Even I was no match for any of them. We were really suppressed by them and lost our temper completely, and many of our subordinates were also
The guards all became disloyal."
"But since Pengju came to Fanyang and challenged the Gao brothers, he fought alone and no one on the other side could match him. He became famous in one battle and instantly suppressed the arrogance of Li Quanzhong and others. This made our army more confident and rekindled our fighting spirit."
"The Five Tigers of the Gao Family?" Zhu Li looked at Yuchi Xin in confusion. He had indeed never heard of this name. This was the first time he heard someone mention it.
Seeing Zhu Li's puzzled expression, Yuchi Xin patiently explained, "In Youzhou, the Gao family is a powerful military family. Their ancestors can be traced back to Gao Ying, the Minister of War during the reign of Emperor Shunzong."
"The Gao family has produced many brave generals throughout the generations. Gao Ying's two sons, Gao Ding and Gao Yue, were both brave men who could not match the other three armies. Their inherited spear skills overwhelmed the people of You and Ji, and made countless heroes unable to raise their heads. In this generation, the Gao family had five sons, who were praised by gossipers as the 'Five Tigers of the Gao Family'."
"Gao Silun, Gao Siji, Gao Sixiang, Gao Sixu, and Gao Mian; these five brothers did not originally work for Li Quanzhong. Ever since you defeated Li Kuangwei in three moves at Lord Li's night banquet and made him lose face, Li Kuangwei paid a great price to recruit the five Gao brothers."
“Before Brother Pengju arrived in Fan Yang, the five brothers were very powerful and no one could defeat them. Fortunately, you were thoughtful and recommended Brother Pengju to Lord Li, who suppressed the opponent’s arrogance.” Yuchi Xin looked at Zhu Li with admiration and expressed his sincere gratitude.
Li Keju treated him as his nephew, so he naturally returned the favor and regarded the other party as his own uncle; Yue Pengju was recommended to Li Keju by Shuozhou, and as soon as he arrived in Fanyang, he helped Li Keju suppress Li Quanzhong, which was equivalent to helping him, so he naturally remembered it in his heart.
It can also be said that it was because Yue Pengju went to Fan Yang to serve that the uncle and nephew Li Keju and Yuchi Xin began to look at Zhu Li with new eyes.
Shuozhou was just established and it was also a time when people were needed. Zhu Li was able to recommend such a brave general to Li Keju, which was undoubtedly a great reward.
However, Zhu Li felt unworthy of the special regard given to him by these two people. This was all done by Guo Qizuo and had nothing to do with him. But he could not say it clearly and could only lower his head with a slight sense of guilt.
It was not that he had forgotten Li Keju's kindness, but he had never thought of repaying him in this way. It was pure coincidence that led to such a beautiful misunderstanding.
After praising Yue Pengju, Yuchi Xin still couldn't forget the main purpose of his visit. If it wasn't for his sister, he wouldn't have had the time to come to Shuozhou specially. In the end, he brought the topic back.
"Please take care of my little sister. As her elder brother, I know that she is missing, but I am helpless. The situation in Fanyang is very tense, and there are signs of impending disasters."
"Li Quanzhong is a bastard. Not only has he bribed Wang Chucun, but he is also colluding with the Bohai tribe. His plans are very big. We have to do our best to deal with him. Please, please." Yuchi Xin bowed with an earnest look on his face.
"Brother Yuchi, you are too polite. Even if you don't come, I will do my best for Jin...Jin'er's affairs." Zhu Li agreed solemnly, with the same sincerity.
"Hahaha, okay, if I can really make the decision for me, I will really choose you as my brother-in-law; unfortunately, I can't be my sister's head, so whether you can become my brother-in-law in the end depends on you, haha." Seeing that Zhu Li finally stopped calling his sister "Madam Yuchi", Yuchi Xin seemed very happy. He patted Zhu Li on the shoulder, turned around and left. This also showed that he was very relieved about Zhu Li's promise.
