Chapter 352 The Temple of Virtues
Li Bu couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this: "Liubao, do you know what you are talking about? Our Li family has been loyal for generations, how can we do such an ungrateful thing?"
"Brother, don't worry. I'm neither crazy nor stupid. Our Li family has been loyal for generations, but who are we loyal to? It's the imperial court, and we are the emperor. What does it mean that he is a senior official? If we really want to investigate, he will be a rebel.
Thief, it would be disloyal for us to work for him! Besides, brother, don’t forget how dozens of members of our family died. We have a mortal enemy with the rebels, and Gao Yigong surrendered to them.
He is also our enemy. If it weren't for his kindness to us, we brothers would have no reason to work for him. Brother, you have done so much for him over the years, and we have repaid the favor. Now it is time for ourselves
I have considered it, otherwise I will die for it. Don’t you feel guilty when you see your father and all your ancestors!?"
Li Bu was speechless after what Li Guo said. Indeed, according to the world's understanding of loyalty and filial piety, Li Bu's actions now are really unjustifiable. If the rebel army is just an ordinary warlord, forget it, but the problem is with the Lin family.
Now that the father and son have surrendered to the imperial court and are officers and soldiers recognized by the emperor, the nature of the matter has changed. Li Bu helped Gao Yigong to fight against them, saying that repaying kindness is fine, saying that it is okay for a scholar to die for a confidant, but it happened to be related to loyalty, filial piety, justice, and justice.
Not the above, but for Li Bu, who came from a well-known family, these are precisely what he values most.
When Li Guo saw his brother's reaction, he knew that his words had an effect. He immediately stepped forward to persuade him further: "Brother, I am not a little brother and I don't care about friendship. In fact, no matter what happened this time, we are not reasonable. Secondly, the first year of high school
If the father-in-law had always valued our two brothers, we would have been loyal to him, but now everyone in the army doesn't know that he has become suspicious of you, brother. He will beg us when he is in danger, and then leave us alone when the crisis is over. This kind of person
Why should we protect him? In addition, this eldest brother just said that if Gao Yigong continues to make trouble like this, even if he does not lose to the rebel army this time, he will definitely lose to others in the future. Instead of doing this, we might as well abandon the dark side and join the light as soon as possible to help the rebel army.
It's the same as serving the imperial court. Doesn't this comply with our father's original wish? I think he would definitely agree to what you did if he were still alive."
Li Bu was completely shaken when he heard what his brother said. Indeed, it seemed that leaving Gao Yigong was the right decision, whether in a larger sense or just for his own sake. However, Li Bu was still a little hesitant.
It has been a long time, and although there is some dissatisfaction between them now, the relationship is still there after all. Li Bu still can't bear to betray him like this. In addition, the risks of such a big thing are not trivial, so Li Bu has to consider the pros and cons and think about it.
After a while, Li Bu finally said to the visitor: "You go back first and let me think about this matter."
When the visitor heard this, he knew that Li Bu was tempted. This opportunity should not be missed, so he immediately took a step forward: "General, the nights are long and the dreams are many. Everyone does this with their heads in their belts. You have to give a clear deadline."
Right? If you can wait, we won't dare to wait."
When Li Bu heard that what the other party said was not unreasonable, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow at noon, whether I agree or not, you will come to hear the news. Don't worry, I won't betray you."
"I have no doubt about this. General, you can still trust your subordinates. If that's the case, I'll come back tomorrow."
The visitor said goodbye and left, and came back to explain the situation to Qin County Lieutenant. After discussion, the two felt that the matter was feasible, so the latter rushed back to Qingniu Mountain overnight to report the news. This is what happened in the past.
After hearing this, the Shu sisters felt a mixture of joy and sorrow. The matter of wooing Li Bu seems to be promising. If they really pull this person over, the situation of the war will undoubtedly change dramatically. The matter of Worry and Worry is still uncertain. The Shu sisters
As soon as they discussed it, the two of them personally sneaked into Linhai Navy to persuade Li Bu, but they were stopped by Qin County Lieutenant and Zhong Min.
"No, this is too risky. For now, we'd better let a few of us senior brothers and sisters come over. It won't be too late for you to come forward when things really become clear in the future."
After some persuasion by the two of them, the Shu sisters gave up the idea. Finally, everyone discussed how they should respond if Li Bu agreed, and what if they didn't agree. After they had discussed it, Qin County Lieutenant went back to continue.
After inquiring, there was an unbearable wait. As a result, Qin County Lieutenant hurried back that night.
"How's it going?" Everyone saw this and asked quickly.
"Okay, Li Bu agreed."
When everyone heard this, they almost jumped up on the spot and hurriedly asked Qin County Captain what happened. It turned out that at noon that day, their colleague went to see Li Bu again. However, this time the latter acted very happily. After a day of weighing, Li Bu agreed to join him.
To defeat the rebel army, this matter was of great concern, so Li Bu requested that he must have an interview with someone from the rebel army side, otherwise the matter could not proceed.
Once the intermediary thought that Li Bu's request was reasonable and reasonable. After all, it was related to the family's wealth and life, and it was not good to be cautious, so he agreed. The two parties agreed to meet at the Xianliang Temple not far from Qingniu Mountain at noon the next day. After the matter was settled, the intermediary
Let Qin County Lieutenant come back quickly to report the news.
Although the Shu family sisters discussed this matter, although it was a bit risky, considering the possible results, it was worth it, so they agreed. At noon the next day, accompanied by Qin County Lieutenant, Zhong Min and others, they arrived at the Xianliang Temple.
It is a remote ancestral hall with few residents nearby, so it is quite suitable as a place for secret conversations.
Everyone was cautious in advance, and the Qin county captain did not come forward. Instead, he led dozens of minions to stay at a distance to prevent any unexpected events. Zhong Min led several carefully selected confidants to accompany the Shu sisters.
Go to see Li Bu.
When I greeted the people inside the ancestral hall, the other party immediately understood and took everyone to the backyard. The Li Bu brothers and the middleman were already waiting inside. Zhong Min and the middleman hurriedly introduced the two parties, but the Shu sisters knew Li Bu.
, immediately stepped forward to salute without waiting for their introduction.
"Shu Ting, the rebel army, Shu Yi has met General Li."
Li Bu also didn't expect that the representatives of the rebel army would actually be a pair of beautiful twins, and they also knew him. He immediately said: "You two girls, there is no need to be polite, do you know me?"
"We sisters are the captains of the rebel army's marshal Lin Siyi. General, you chased us hard last time in Xingnan Town." Li Bu is not from the world, so the Shu sisters did not mention Luo Tianbao this time.
The original name, and they knew that Li Bu was very loyal to the imperial court. The name Lin Siyi was given by the emperor of the day, based on the ranking of the royal family. For those who were loyal to the imperial court, this name was of great significance, so they specially proposed it.
Hearing this, Li Bu suddenly realized: "So that's it, then you really can't get to know each other without fighting."
The two sides got acquainted with each other for a while, and then got to the point. Li Bu came from a famous family and spoke tactfully, but the Shu sisters still understood. He did intend to defect, but he wanted to make some things clear. First, whether the rebels would do it in the future.
