Seeing Xiao Feng in a dilemma, Li Huan also sighed.
"I know that my elder brother wants to stop the Liao Kingdom from invading the Song Dynasty, but he is also unwilling to betray Yelü Hongji!"
"Given my elder brother's temperament, he will surely force Yelü Hongji to withdraw his troops first, and then atone for his sins with his death!"
Upon hearing this, A'Zhu's face showed worry.
Xiao Feng declared loudly, "That's right! I'd rather die than bear the infamy of disloyalty and injustice!"
Li Huan said, "Brother, listen to my advice. Resign from your position as 'King of the Southern Court of Liao' as soon as possible, and take A'Zhu and Father to Dali Kingdom in Yunnan. Find a beautiful place to live in seclusion and thus avoid the war between Liao and Song!"
Xiao Feng hesitated: "I grew up in the Central Plains since I was a child, how... how can I ignore the invasion of the Liao Kingdom by the Song Dynasty?"
Li Huan patted Xiao Feng on the shoulder: "Brother, don't worry too much. No one can stop the wheels of history! Whether you stop Yelü Hongji or not, the Song Dynasty will still perish!"
Xiao Feng was startled: "Second brother, you've consulted the oracle?"
Li Huan nodded: "Moreover, the Liao Kingdom has a vast territory. In addition to the Khitan people, there is also the Jurchen people who are constantly rising and growing stronger. Yelü Hongji has been oppressing the Jurchen people without restraint. Once he sends troops to attack the Song Dynasty, the Jurchen people will definitely take the opportunity to rebel against the Khitan people!"
Xiao Feng suddenly realized: "Second brother's strategy is brilliant and makes perfect sense!"
Li Huan continued, "I can conclude that the Jurchen people will defeat the Khitan people, overthrow the Liao Dynasty, and establish the Jin Dynasty! The Song Dynasty, on the other hand, will be defeated by the Jin Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, and will eventually perish!"
"That's why I said earlier that no one can stop the wheels of history. Why should you, elder brother, sacrifice your life to assist Yelü Hongji, who oppresses the people and is ambitious?"
Xiao Feng was deeply moved after hearing this.
“Alas… Since that is the case, I will resign from my official post and take Azhu and my father to the Dali Kingdom to live in seclusion and live a life free from worldly strife.”
Li Huan said, "Brother's words are law, don't regret it later!"
Xiao Feng laughed and said, "After listening to my second brother's words, I suddenly understand! Besides, I already have a wife and need to take care of my father. How can I act out of loyalty without considering the consequences?"
"I, Xiao Feng, swear to Heaven that I will never interfere in the conflict between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. If I break this oath, may this stone be my witness!"
After saying that, Xiao Feng suddenly swung out a palm, shattering the roadside stone with a bang.
Seeing that Xiao Feng had made up his mind to go into seclusion, Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Third brother!" Li Huan looked at Xu Zhu.
"Second Brother, what are your orders?" Xu Zhu asked hurriedly.
Li Huan unzipped his waist pouch, took out a "life-and-death talisman" and a "relief pill," and handed it to Xu Zhu.
"Ten days later, Kumārajīva will go to the Lingjiu Palace in Tianshan. Give him the 'relief pill'."
Xu Zhu laughed and said, "I can also refine elixirs to alleviate the symptoms, so why should Second Brother go to all that trouble?"
Li Huan said, "I know you can also refine 'relief pills,' so next year, I'll entrust you with refining the relief pills for Azi and Kumārajīva!"
"Remember, if Azi and Kumārajīva do not repent and continue to do evil, you must not send them any more 'alleviation pills'!"
Xu Zhu clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Please rest assured, Second Brother, I've remembered!"
Li Huan turned his head and saw Duan Yu still staring intently at Wang Yuyan.
"Fourth brother!" Li Huan called out.
Duan Yu didn't react and was still looking at Wang Yuyan.
"Young Master Duan!" Wang Yuyan exclaimed, "Alliance Leader Li is speaking to you!"
Duan Yu then came to his senses: "Second Brother..."
Li Huan said, "I have something for you to do!"
Duan Yu smiled and said, "Please speak, Second Brother."
Li Huan said, "In order to restore the Yan Kingdom, Murong Fu is trying to bribe various masters. I estimate that the gang he most wants to bribe is the Beggars' Gang!"
Xiao Feng said, "That's right. The Beggars' Sect is the largest sect in the world. If Murong Fu obtains the Beggars' Sect, he will have the strength to start a rebellion!"
Li Huan said, "Fourth brother, you previously served as the acting leader of the Beggars' Sect, so you are quite familiar with the sect's situation. After I leave, you will continue to manage the Beggars' Sect for me. Don't let Murong Fu take advantage of the situation and use the Beggars' Sect against his will!"
Without hesitation, Duan Yu replied, "Second Brother, rest assured, I will not let you down! I will never let Murong Fu succeed!"
Li Huan looked directly into Duan Yu's eyes and said earnestly, "Second brother, you are about to ascend the throne as emperor. Don't let your personal feelings and heroic spirit falter. Otherwise, how will you govern the Dali Kingdom and protect its people?"
"If I were Miss Wang, I definitely wouldn't like a cowardly man who only revolves around women, let alone a mediocre person with no ambition!"
These words were like a dagger, piercing Duan Yu's heart.
It caused him pain, but it also brought him to his senses.
Yes, Miss Wang likes Murong Fu not only because he is handsome and dashing, but also because he has lofty ambitions and works tirelessly to restore the Yan Kingdom.
I, Duan Yu, never thought of doing anything earth-shattering. I only tossed and turned and ran back and forth for a woman who was like a fairy.
In the end, I got nothing and ended up empty-handed.
How pathetic, how pathetic.
Li Huan could see the change in Duan Yu's mindset from his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Li Huan put his arm around Wang Yuyan's shoulder and asked Duan Yu with a deliberately sly smile.
"If I were to marry Wang Yuyan, what would become of my second brother?"
Duan Yu sighed deeply and said, "My unrequited love for Miss Wang is like a dream, a dream that is unattainable and beyond my reach..."
"Only now do I realize that what I'm actually infatuated with is the statue in Wuliang Cave... the fairy sister... What's even more absurd is that I've always thought of Miss Wang as the fairy sister... How stupid I am..."
Duan Yu said, then chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Li Huan said, "Which young man doesn't yearn for love? Which young man doesn't fall in love? Which young man doesn't do foolish things?"
"Hahaha..." Duan Yu laughed wildly, "Second Brother is right! I was just a foolish young man who fell in love and had a fleeting dream! Hahaha..."
Seeing that Duan Yu had finally come to terms with it, Li Huan said no more, took Wang Yuyan's hand, and walked towards the electric tricycle.
"Second Brother!" Duan Yu called out.
Li Huan turned around: "What now?"
Duan Yu laughed and said, "When you come back, don't forget to buy me a tricycle!"
Li Huan said, "You still want to drive your tricycle and take Miss Wang for a ride?"
Duan Yu shook his head: "No, Wanqing and Ling also love riding in tricycles. I'll drive them around to different places!"
Li Huan gave him a thumbs up: "Good, you've improved! I'll reward you right now!"
After saying that, Li Huan quickly opened the "God-level Lunch Box System" and spent a special amount of points to redeem a basic electric tricycle.
In addition, they also redeemed solar panels, spare batteries, and spare tires.
bite!
Next to the red electric tricycle, a green electric tricycle suddenly appeared.
"Wow! A tricycle!" Duan Yu exclaimed with delight!
Xiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and the others exclaimed in surprise and gathered around.
Li Huan glanced at it and chuckled.
The green electric tricycle has a nice meaning.
"Fourth brother, this tricycle was one I kept as a spare, but I'm giving it to you!"
