The official road of Bingzhou is filled with yellow sand.

After hearing what Lu Xiao said, before Guan Changsheng opened his mouth, Ji Qiu's eyes began to become a little subtle.

He hasn't spoken yet, but you want to steal the talents that I, Taiping Banner, want to win over?

Extremely abominable!

Fortunately, Guan Changsheng rejected the good intentions in Lu Xiao's words without hesitation.

After all, he was clearly a repeat offender of Dayan, and he had just escaped from Sizhou. If he served as a soldier in Bingzhou, wouldn't it be obvious that the sheep was in the tiger's mouth?

He couldn't afford the risk.

"I understand your kindness, but I have always been undisciplined and have a bad temper, so I am not suitable for the military. I will not be able to obey your orders."

"I want to continue heading to the northeast. Bingzhou is just a stop in the middle. After a short stop, I will continue my journey, so the general should not continue to invite you."

"We meet in the mountains and rivers, see you next time!"

After saying that, the young man patted the dusty sleeves and robe, then picked up the package and carried the long knife and continued moving forward.

Seeing this, Ji Qiu spoke:

"The strong man stays."

"I came out from Tai'an City with the intention of traveling across the world and practicing my own way. Now I want to go to Youzhou."

"I see that Your Excellency has extraordinary attainments in martial arts. If you don't dislike it, I wonder if you can take me along with you?"

Ji Qiu's words were sincere, and his eyes showed seriousness.

Originally, before Lu Xiao arrived, Ji Qiu had no chance to establish friendship with Guan Changsheng.

But unexpectedly, by chance, we got in touch with each other by luck.

Since you can find an opportunity, you shouldn't miss it. After all, who knows when we will meet next time?

I just don’t know how this commoner young man will answer.

After hearing Ji Qiu's words, Guan Changsheng, who was about to leave, couldn't help but hesitate.

Lu Xiao is a member of the Bingzhou local army. If he joins the army, his previous deeds will definitely be exposed and his life will be in danger.

But this is different for the scholar who claims to be from the Confucian school.

Not only did this man have high attainments in literature, but he also claimed to be familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period. If you could go with him, you would gain something along the way.

I had originally planned to go to Youzhou in the north to escape for a period of time, and now that I could meet him, his temperament could not be called bad, and he was brave enough to take action, so it was not impossible for him to go the same way.

Thinking of this, Guan Changsheng was a little moved. He stopped and said with some uncertainty:

"Guan has no possessions and does not have much financial means. It is quite difficult to eat and sleep in the open."

"If Mr. Guan is really along for the ride and doesn't mind it, Mr. Guan would be willing to go with him for a while."

That’s it!

Seeing that the young man in civilian clothes holding the knife in front of him did not refuse, Ji Qiu's spirit could not help but perk up.

Since he could go the same way, he would naturally have a way to influence him under Huang Tian's banner.

In this way, wouldn’t it be an additional source of help in the future?

Thinking of this, a kind smile appeared on Ji Qiu's face.

He glanced at Lu Xiao without any trace, feeling a little regretful.

It's a pity that this boy's strength is also extraordinary, and he will be praised as a martial saint in the future, which shows that he is amazing and talented. However, he is currently dedicated to serving Great Yan, so it is still a bit difficult to trick him.

But it’s good to be able to take Guan Changsheng along with him, so we can’t force him to do too much.

As a result, Ji Qiu immediately gave a gift and said:

"Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, I gain knowledge and truth along the way. It is a blessing to meet a hero like you."

"I think you won't feel lonely along the way."

The kind words were very helpful to the red-faced young man, and his expression softened.

The seemingly harmless young man who loves to laugh is also a well-educated scribe. His words of praise will undoubtedly give people a sense of affirmation, as if he has been recognized by others.

"Guan, whose surname is Guan and whose name is Yun, has the word Changsheng. He likes to read the Spring and Autumn Annals. I just heard that Mr. Guan is good at reading the Spring and Autumn Annals. So, I would like to ask Mr. to give you more advice on the future."

After seeing Ji Qiu salute, Guan Changsheng returned the gift with a long knife and long sleeves. Then he looked at Lu Xiao, who was exposed to the sun and had a dark complexion. After thinking for a while, he said:

"This general's martial arts are extraordinary, and he is the only one Guan has seen in his life."

"If there is a chance in the future, we must compete again and decide the winner!"

"Don't know your surname?"

Seeing that he finally had a sense of presence, Lu Xiao immediately snorted, raised his eyebrows, and said:

"Lu Xiao, Zi Wushuang!"

"Since you don't want to join me, forget it. If there is a chance in the future, you will definitely be defeated by a certain patriarch!"

"Let's go, see you later!"

The general in golden armor felt bored and had no interest in staying any longer.

He shouted loudly, then raised his horse's hooves, summoned his elite cavalry, said hello to Ji Qiu and Guan Changsheng, then rolled up the yellow sand and galloped away without looking back.

go.

Bingzhou Guandao regained its calm.

Only the young man in white clothes was left, walking together with the young man holding a long sword, discussing friends based on the principles of Spring and Autumn, and chatting happily.

[16 years old: After leaving Tai'an City and entering Bingzhou from Sizhou, you were attacked and killed by members of the Yuan family. With your profound skills as fellow practitioners of the Three Ways, you will suppress and kill all enemies in the future!

On the side of the road, you meet a martial arts talent by chance. You see through his aura and know that this person will become a great weapon in the future, so you want to extend an olive branch and recruit him to join the conspiracy to conspire against Huang Tian.

During this period, there were some accidents, and you met a talented martial artist. Fortunately, after the twists and turns, you successfully established initial trust with Guan Changsheng and went together for the time being. The destination was to Youzhou.

The gears of life begin to turn. This time you have many plans. Compared with before the simulation, there have been great changes.】

...

It’s a long journey, and the road is long and blocked.

Since leaving Bingzhou, Ji Qiu paid for two horses and galloped for more than a month before entering Youzhou.

Sizhou is the center of the world, and Tai'an, the capital of the Yan Emperor, stands here, so it is naturally the most prosperous.

Therefore, even Guan Changsheng, who came from an ordinary background, had never encountered real desolation since he was a child.

However, the further north you travel, the more shocking the scenes you see.

Starting from Bingzhou, the clothes of the people below began to become more and more tattered, and their bodies became thinner and thinner.

Coupled with the remote location, when Ji Qiu and Guan Changsheng stopped in this small county on the edge of Youzhou, what they saw when they looked up was even worse.

"The lives of the lower class people in this remote state and county are not as good as those in Sizhou. In a year, they may only be able to eat enough to prevent them from starving to death."

"Sir, why have you traveled thousands of miles to come here?"

Guan Changsheng carried a long knife and entered the small southwestern county called Heng County with Ji Qiu, and immediately became a little puzzled.

Facing his doubts, Ji Qiu was somewhat silent and did not speak first. After a while, he asked:

"Why did Brother Guan come to this remote place?"

The two of them led the horses and walked on this simple road.

When many civilians saw the two of them leading a tall horse, they all hid away with fear in their eyes.

Hearing Ji Qiu's rhetorical question, Guan Changsheng seemed to think of the scene where he killed the commander in anger, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"There was a noble in the village who bullied others too much. Guan had been seeing his disobedience for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he beheaded him with a knife and chopped off his head."

"For this reason, I offended a big shot, and because I was not yet accomplished in martial arts, I had to flee thousands of miles, hoping to go north to hide incognito for a period of time to avoid trouble. That's why I met my husband when I entered Bingzhou."

When he said this, Guan Changsheng was holding a long sword and felt quite sad.

Although he was sleeping in the open air, Ji Qiu glanced sideways and could see that this young man in civilian clothes was frank in his words and deeds and showed no regrets, so he couldn't help but nod slightly.

He actually has selfish motives for Guan Changsheng.

Along the way, I liked him and found out that he was very interested in the Spring and Autumn Tao, so I generously took out the Spring and Autumn Annotations by Zheng Xiu for him to read and discuss with him from time to time. What was the purpose?

It's just for his martial arts and his future achievements.

This person is a hero who is committed to his duty, has pride, and will pay back all his debts.

For this kind of people, it is actually best to recruit.

At least based on Ji Qiu's efforts along the way, it's already half done.

As for the remaining half, it depends on what we do in the future.

Ji Qiu thought to himself that he was by no means a gentleman, because he would make many means and plans to achieve his own goals.

For him, as long as he can realize the great world of Huang Tian, ​​no matter what he does, it will be worth it.
