"You know me?" Li Jixue smiled at Qing Qian. That smile was very shallow, but it was stunning.
Qing Qian didn't nod, but she was still immersed in her memories. If she remembered correctly, she had once seen a description of Li Jixue in a web novel.
Li Jixue was Li Jing's younger sister and a very famous female general in Southern Tang. In the battle with Shu, the First Prince Li Hongji led two thousand men and fought for three nights. Fortunately, Li Jixue led the troops to rescue them. Otherwise, who knew if Li Hongji would have been able to return.
However, he had not heard anything about Li Jixue for the next few years.
He hadn't expected that she would actually live in the depths of the First Prince's estate. Moreover, she was no longer the graceful female general of that generation. Instead, she had become an ordinary woman who was content with worldly affairs.
This…what was going on?
"You know me?" Li Jixue saw that Qing Qian didn't say anything, so she asked again. Qing Qian finally reacted and nodded, then shook her head and said," I don't really know you. I've only heard of your deeds."”
" Ha," Li Jixue laughed." Those are all in the past, so let's not talk about it."”
Qing Qian was stunned for a moment, but she also nodded slightly. She actually heard some helplessness from Li Jixue's tone.
"Do you like the song I play?" Li Jixue waved the jade flute in her hand and smiled at Qing Qian. The loneliness from before was completely gone.
"I like it. But why did he play this song?”Qing Qian smiled. The flute was a good flute, and the song was a good song. However, this jade tree flower was too ominous. One had to know that many people defined it as the sound of a country's demise.
"What's wrong with that? Isn't the Southern Tang almost finished?" Li Jixue raised her eyebrows." This song suits the occasion."”
Qing Qian was stunned on the spot. She, Li Jixue, could be considered as the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Yet, she was talking about the destruction of her country in the tone of an outsider.
"So, are you hiding here and not caring about the world, waiting for the Southern Tang Dynasty to be destroyed?”Qing Qian shook her head slightly. She felt a little powerless when she did not fight back.
"What else?" Li Jixue wanted to fight, but as the pro-war faction was stripped of their power, the peace faction was promoted. Li Jixue was smart, how could she not see Southern Tang's desire for peace and their war-weariness? She was tired and tired. Since the person who held the world in his hands did not want to change, what was the use of her being anxious?
"Do you like war?" Qing Qian found a stool and sat down, looking at the bamboo flute in Li Jixue's hand.
"How could I like him?" Li Jixue chuckled. She wasn't one of those tyrants, and she didn't like power. If she really didn't have to start a war, who would be willing to fight with others until their blood splattered everywhere?
"Since you don't like it, then this is also very good.”Qing Qian smiled faintly and hummed the popular song " Jade Tree Flower ". However, she heard a man's voice behind her, which seemed to be angry." It's true that the merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings the song across the river."”
When Li Hongji saw that Qing Qian did not return to her room, he came to look for her. He did not expect her to actually come to the secluded residence and look like she was having a good chat with her aunt.
Qing Qian rolled her eyes at Li Hongji. Seeing the bad-tempered First Prince, her mood was no longer as good as before. She only stood up and bowed to the First Prince. Suddenly, she thought of an analogy and spoke.
"First Prince, if you were a hunter, there would be tigers in the north, wolves in the south, wild boars in the east, and goats in the west. You only have one arrow, so who will you shoot?”
" Ah." Li Hongji was obviously stunned. This…wasn't this jump too fast? After thinking for a while, he couldn't understand what Qing Qian knew. He could only look at Qing Qian with Li Jixue.
"It's very simple. Under such circumstances, the goat is the safest. Because it was weak, it had no lethality.”He smiled lightly. The law of survival in troubled times was the same. Since there was no way to become stronger overnight, then showing weakness was a clear path.
Li Hongji was slightly stunned. He understood what Qing Qian meant, but his desire to win was not something that could be changed by this story.
He had never wanted to be a weakling, but fate had brought him to Southern Tang, where he was willing to be a weakling.
