Chapter 867 - 864: Grasshoppers After Autumn
"Originally, I persuaded you to give you a way to protect the entire Li family, but... you and Left Prime Minister Li Mao not only want to protect the entire Li family in this chaos, but you each stand on opposite sides. No matter who wins and who loses, in the end, it will only be the death of one of you two. The entire Li family will not only be preserved because of the merits of the other, but they will also rise to prominence because of that person’s success." Bai Jinxiu looked at Li Mingrui with clear eyes, "Isn’t that so?"
Li Mingrui did not expect Bai Jinxiu to see through his thoughts, but since she had, he candidly admitted: "We are merely trying to find a way for the survival of the entire Li family, and a good way at that! Just like when the men of the Bai family died on the battlefield, both His Majesty and King Xin wanted the entire Bai family dead. The Princess of Zhen tried to find a way to save the Bai family, all of us are merely doing what we must."
Bai Jinxiu, with her hands behind her back, calmly looked at Li Mingrui: "It’s different..."
Both were seeking a way to survive, but how could Li Mingrui compare with her elder sister?
A man like Li Mingrui could never understand the Bai family, much less her elder sister.
Li Mingrui looked up at Bai Jinxiu, not quite understanding what she meant by it being different, but seeing that Bai Jinxiu had no intention of continuing, Li Mingrui only looked at her and did not press for an answer.
Bai Jinxiu smiled and said, "Minister Li is more suited to be a civil official and strategist, not to lead troops in battle."
"Indeed..." Li Mingrui frankly admitted, "Therefore, when the King of Zhen was still alive, he ordered the descendants of the Bai family to study military tactics from a young age, train in the army at the age of ten, and fight on the battlefield. It made sense."
