Chapter 316 Clean, Indifferent

The carriage and horse went to the Duke of Wei. Along the way, Qin Mubai didn't say much. Princess Gaoyang was a little uncomfortable and bored. She looked at Qin Mubai from the car. His face didn't seem to be too good, so Princess Gaoyang asked carefully, "Mubai, you don't seem to be happy?"

"No!" Qin Mubai smiled and said that he was ashamed in his heart. Obviously, my cultivation is not enough, and I can't do the real "no shock" joy and anger. Even Princess Gaoyang's immature eyesight can see a clue.

Princess Gaoyang blinked and asked, "Did the prince's brother and the king of Han embarrass you just now?"

"How is that possible?" Qin Mubai smiled indifferently and changed the topic, "I'm just muttering, why did that 'ssong' become a statue?"

Princess Gaoyang suddenly felt cold all over and her teeth were sore. "How do you think about this stupid question?"

"Okay, I won't think about it." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "When you arrive at the Duke of Wei later, you are not allowed to fool around, let alone take the beard of the Duke of Wei."

"Hey hey, are you afraid?" Princess Gaoyang smiled thieves, "You seem to be very nervous, Duke Wei?"

"It's respect." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "I respect him like my father."

"From the bottom of my heart?"

"Of course."

"Okay, Qin Mubai! You big bad guy!" Princess Gaoyang's face changed and she said angrily, "I haven't heard you say that I respect my father from the bottom of my heart!"

Qin Mubai was stunned and then smiled bitterly: "You will really put a hat on people. To your father... Do you still need to say that? He is the king and I am the minister. That is not only respect, but also awe.

Princess Gaoyang curled her lips and muttered, "Emperor, in your eyes, he is just an emperor!" You have never regarded him as your father-in-law.

"Uh-huh..." Qin Mubai was stunned and turned his eyes, "Is there a difference?"

"Of course!" Princess Gaoyang said angrily, "For me, there is a big difference!"

Qin Mubai was a little stunned and nodded: "I understand."

Princess Gaoyang's beautiful and delicate face instantly changed her expression like a change of face, and said with a smile, "Do you really understand? That's right! In the future, my relatives will be your relatives, you know?"

"I know! In my teens, I learned to nag like an old woman who is dozens of years old - well, the Duke of Wei has arrived. Remember what I told you.

The two of them got off the carriage and were usually closed. Today, the door was open, and there was a man familiar to Qin Mubai, Su Lie and Su Dingfang, standing at the door.

He seemed to know that Qin Mubai was coming today and deliberately waited at the door for a long time. At this time, he came up, saluted first, and then laughed, "Mu Bai, I knew you would come today."

"Hee hee, you are Su Dingfang, right? I heard from Mu Bai talking about you. You are Mu Bai's brother, right? Princess Gaoyang rushed to say, "Mu Bai said that you are great. You are a proud disciple of the Duke of Wei!"

"No, Your Highness is flattered." Su Dingfang smiled faintly and arched his hand, "You two, please."

Qin Mubai replied with a smile, walked in with him, and asked about Li Jing's recent situation. Everything was fine.

Li Jing moved the case to the main hall, where he was sitting attentively looking at a book. When Qin Mubai saw the style from afar, he knew that the old man was probably going to take the school entrance examination today. So he told Princess Gaoyang, "Let's discuss the art of war later. Don't mess with it!"

"What? It's as if I'm really confused and always like to mess around..." Princess Gaoyang made a grimace with Qin Mubai sticking out her tongue when Su Dingfang was not paying attention.

The three of them entered the main hall. Li Jing looked up and saw that Princess Gaoyang was still a little surprised. He hurriedly got up to prepare for a salute. Princess Gaoyang ran over with a smile to hold him and said with a smile, "Well, Lord Wei, I'm just following Mu Bai to run away today. Don't make a big gift. Otherwise, when I go back, Mu Bai will scold me.

"Oh? Does he dare?" Li Jing laughed when he heard the words.

Qin Mubai came forward and saluted: "I have met my teacher."

Li Jing nodded to him and said with a smile, "Your Highness, please sit down and serve tea."

"No need!" Princess Gaoyang smiled and said, "I said that I just came to walk with Mu Bai. Duke Wei, just think of me as Mu Bai's little class, not a princess. Otherwise, you all have to be restrained.

"Oh?" Li Jing was stunned at first, and then laughed, "I forgot that Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang is about to marry Mu Bai, haha! Marry a chicken, marry a dog, um, that's great!"

"What kind of chicken and dog..." Princess Gaoyang curled her face and muttered, "Duke Wei, you take these things as a student?"

"No nonsense!" Qin Mubai stared at her angrily, "Princess, you'd better... go to the yard and have fun!"

"Oh, just go, what's wrong with you!" Princess Gaoyang was sore that she really said goodbye and went to the yard to play.

Li Jing stroked his face and smiled: "Mu Bai, you still have some skills! In this world, I'm afraid you are the only one who can clean up Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang so obediently.

"I'm flattered." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "It's been a year. How are you all right with your teacher?"

"Okay, that's great." Li Jing smiled and asked Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang to sit next to him and said, "Mubai, if you don't come back from Lanzhou, I should write in person and ask you to come back."

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned and said suspiciously, "Why did Duke Wei say this?"

Li Jing smiled and said nothing.

Su Dingfang wrote lightly: "Every time the teacher wins a battle, he always returns to Beijing as soon as possible and returns the military power. Even if His Majesty intends to leave his teacher in the army, the teacher will try his best to refuse.

Qin Mubai suddenly realized and bowed his hand: "The student understands!"

Li Jing stroked his long hair, nodded and smiled, and said, "In fact, it is easy to be a minister, and it is not easy to be a gentleman. Even if His Majesty can completely believe in you, he can't beat the short and long. It's mediocre not to be jealous, Mu Bai, as long as the mood is clear, why be indifferent?

Qin Mubai nodded thoughtfully and chewed the meaning of Li Jing's words. It's not hard to hear that I'm in Lanzhou, and I'm inevitably jealous of some Wenwu in the same hall.

Who is it? There is no need to ask about this. The emperor will give Qin Mubai a half-year "marriage leave". Li Jing will want to write a letter to call him back, which shows that the other party is not small.

"As long as the mood is clear, why be indifferent?" - Short numbers may be Li Jing's official philosophy. But how can it be easy to be as comfortable as him?

Li Jing looked at Qin Mubai with a smile. His eyes were very soft, but it seemed to have the magic of penetrating people's hearts. Qin Mubai felt that under his eyes, there was nothing to hide.

"Mu Bai, you are very understanding. I can say in front of Ding Fang that you are the most understanding among my students. Li Jing smiled.

Su Dingfang also smiled indifferently: "It's true. Lie, the qualification is dull, not as good as Mu Bai.

"But I can also say in front of Mu Bai that Dingfang is the hardest and most diligent." Li Jing still smiled.

Qin Mubai smiled with shame and arched his hand and said, "Students are indeed... always not very focused."

"I can't blame you. The environment you live in and your personality determine that you can't concentrate on something. Li Jing smiled and said, "You are a rare all-round talent, which is amazing. Maybe you can't reach the peak in a certain way, but your comprehensiveity also makes you excellent. Mu Bai, I won't pass on your art of war anymore. It would be very good if you could thoroughly study the upper and lower two parts of the Jade Book. People can't be perfect. I don't teach you more military tactics, not because you don't deserve to be taught, but because you still have more things to learn.

"This..." Qin Mubai was a little confused for a moment. This was a little out of his mind.

Li Jing and Su Dingfang looked at each other and smiled. They didn't say anything, and let Qin Mubai look at them blankly.

"As long as the mood is clear, why not be indifferent?" Li Jing repeated this sentence again and smiled, "Mu Bai, that's all you have to learn in the future. The art of war is enough for you. If you have another fine diamond, it won't improve you much. On the contrary, Dingfang should concentrate on his military tactics all his life and aspire to become an excellent soldier. Because he has no other way to go except this road. And you are not, Mu Bai.

Qin Mubai suddenly realized and bowed his hand to worship: "Thank you, teacher, student Mao Sai suddenly opened!"

Li Jing and Su Dingfang both smiled. Li Jing said, "Say, what do you understand?"

Qin Mubai smiled and smiled confidently. He said, "The teacher means that students should not only know the art of war in the future, but also gather people who understand the art of war online."

"Great kindness." Li Jing laughed. For the first time, I laughed so freely and comfortably in front of Qin Mubai!

Su Dingfang still had a calm expression and smiled, "So, Mu Bai, you are destined to be better than Su. You don't have to be modest. You not only need to gather people who understand the art of war, but also be able to control it. In addition to soldiers, you also need to gather and control politicians, officials, rich families, and even anyone with skills. This is a deeper skill than the art of war. Su, you can't learn it all your life. But the teacher said that you, Qin Mubai, seemed to be born to come here for this.

"Yes! In this world, everyone has their own skills. Mu Bai, you are very omnipotent. This is very similar to a person. Li Jing said.

"Who?" Qin Mubai asked puzzledly.

Li Jing's eyes fell softly on Qin Mubai, but it made him a little uncomfortable. Next, the two words he spit out surprised Qin Mubai--

"Son of the Holy."

Qin Mubai was stunned.

He didn't expect that such words would be said in Li Jing, who had always been cautious. Saying that a minister is like an emperor - isn't this taboo or even rebellious?

"Don't be surprised." Li Jing's expression was still indifferent and smiled, "I didn't say that."

Qin Mubai's expression was more solemn and he asked, "Did the emperor say it himself?"

"You are really smart." Li Jing smiled.

Su Dingfang said, "Regid not to mention identity, today's emperor is definitely an all-time talent. He started from the army at the age of 16. He was a talented soldier. He fought unfavorably and was loved by the soldiers for his bravery. In addition, he is fully capable and talented. Poetry, calligraphy, and rhythm are all excellent; imperial riding, archery, and martial arts are quite excellent. He even knows some astronomical calendars and medical divination, is familiar with several dialects of the Tang Dynasty, and can use Turkic and Tufan to communicate with the Hun people.

Qin Mubai was not shocked by what Su Dingfang said. He has been in charge of Baiqi for a long time and is often accompanied by the emperor. Of course, he knows this. He said, "But... what does this have to do with me?"

"Ha ha..." Li Jing said with a meaningful smile, "At that time, when the Lanzhou Grand Planning Commission was not going down, His Majesty came to me to talk about you. Your Majesty said that when he saw you, he felt as if he had seen his young self. Mu Bai, you don't have to be frightened. I think the emperor's words mean that he believes that you can achieve great things!"

Qin Mubai nodded gently and was silent.

"I don't know what he means by 'achievement'." Li Jing said, "But I understand the emperor's intentions. He wants to cultivate you into a full-round talent who is not familiar in all aspects. Use you to control... The kind of person who is particularly proficient in something and has a skill."

Hearing this, Qin Mubai was really shocked and stared at Li Jing with wide eyes.

Li Jing's old eyes narrowed, "Mu Bai, your future is boundless!"

This time, Qin Mubai was not used to being polite to Li Jing, but nodded with knowledge and said to himself: This is probably the reason why Li Jing no longer spread my art of war, right? ... As he said, Emperor Li Shimin has great hopes for me because I am comprehensive. However, if I reach the top of the military too well, won't no one be able to suppress me at that time? Li Jing didn't make it clear, but his intention was nothing more than to let me learn - the upper man's mind!

Will I, Qin, become a powerful minister of the Tang Dynasty at some time in the future?

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai couldn't help frowning. Power, no one wants it. But power is also a double-edged sword. The higher the power, the greater the power means that the desire will expand and the greater the risk. At the same time, you will lose more...

"Mu Bai, don't think too much." Li Jing seemed to see through Qin Mubai's mind and said indifferently, "Remember my words. As long as the mood is clear, why not be indifferent?"

"Yes, the students remember." Qin Mubai bowed his hand.

Li Jing nodded and smiled. Suddenly, he raised his finger to Su Dingfang and said, "Go to Lanzhou again and take Dingfang with you."

"Yes." Qin Mubai didn't say much and bowed his hands.

Su Dingfang also bowed his hand and said no more.

There was no discussion on the art of war. The three of them sat and chatted for a while. Li Jing was afraid that Princess Gao Yang would be upset and let Qin Mubai go back earlier. Qin Mubai didn't stay much and left.

Before leaving, Li Jing untied a string of strange blue-green beads from his wrist and gave them to Qin Mubai, saying, "This was given to me by myself when I conquered the Turks and captured the Khan. He said that this is a strange Turkic jade grinding, which symbolizes victory and glory. He was defeated and insisted on giving me the beads privately, and he couldn't get rid of it. Today, I will give it to you as a wedding gift for you and Princess Gaoyang. But not to give you more victory and glory. In the future, you will not lack these."

"That's..." Qin Mubai took it curiously and held it in the palm of his hand, which was a little cool.

Li Jing smiled slightly: "It is always cool, and it won't get much warm when it sticks to it. You wear it on your wrist and always remind yourself - pure and indifferent.

"Thank you, teacher!" Qin Mubai bent down and bowed his hands.

"Okay, let's go!" Li Jing waved his hand and smiled.

Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang left the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Qin Mubai rode on a horse and was thinking about Li Jing's words all the way, and his heart was not withered. Princess Gaoyang muttered sullenly in the car: "It's so boring! You three big men talked about military tactics, and let me stagger more than a dozen times in the yard alone. Mu Bai, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing." Qin Mubai smiled indifferently and said, "Linger, I originally planned to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion for dinner, but I failed. How about it? Are you interested in going to Qinxian Pavilion for a dental festival with me?

"Good!" Princess Gaoyang answered excitedly, but her face immediately changed, "No! I don't like to go there. There are too many women, and you have to be dishonest - go to the harem! Harem! How about eating Suzhai with my mother?

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned and nodded: "Okay."

Yin Defei?

Long time no see...
