An Lushan asked: "What do you compare?"

Li Jiuzhou said: "In the imperial city, we naturally cannot use knives and guns. What should we compare to? I will decide tomorrow."

"I don't mind those who recite poems and essays," said An Lushan.

Li Jiuzhou was also very direct: "I said it was a man-man competition, so I won't do that kind of literary style."

"Okay!" An Lushan agreed immediately, with a confident face and even looked down on Li Jiuzhou, because in his opinion, as long as he didn't have any literary talent, no matter what he compared, Li Jiuzhou would definitely lose.

Li Jiuzhou thought about it and said, "See you tomorrow."

The two of them went out of the door with their sleeves.

The soldiers guarding outside the door watched the two of them come out one after another, but did not dare to ask more questions.

When I returned to the mansion, I thought about it again and again, but Li Jiuzhou still didn't think about anything like it.

Suddenly he thought of someone, and a joy appeared on his face. He gently pushed open the door and ran to the door and shouted: "Old Man Zhang."

"What's wrong? Are you quarreling with the imperial concubine?" Old Man Zhang's voice was extremely plain, without a trace of emotional fluctuations.

"This is not."

"It's so late, so why do you tell me to do?" Old Man Zhang looked at him with contempt.

It was already dark, and he didn't sleep by himself, and he didn't let others sleep.

"Guess who I met in Yang Guifei's mansion?"

"who?"

"An Lushan!"

"Who?" Old Man Zhang asked again as if he didn't hear it clearly.

Li Jiuzhou said: "I made an appointment with An Lushan to compete publicly tomorrow. No matter what, he would be embarrassed in front of the people in the capital."

"Ah!" Old Man Zhang asked hurriedly, "What are you comparing?"

Li Jiuzhou shook his head gently and said, "I can't think of it for a while. Apart from literary talent, I have anything I can beat him, so I ask you to come up with an idea."

"Only you can't see your own strengths, so it's not your fault." Old Man Zhang murmured, "In addition to literary talent, in terms of appearance and strategy, An Lushan can match you."

Li Jiuzhou said: "I can't compare to his martial arts skills. Come out with an idea quickly. I know you have the most ideas. It's best to let An Lushan lose face."

Old Man Zhang frowned and said, "I have no idea."

Li Jiuzhou turned his head slightly and said, "Don't be deep here, hurry up and say all the ideas you can think of."

Old Man Zhang laughed and thought that when you asked me, you shook the wine gourd on your waist.

Li Jiuzhou understood at a glance, so he hurriedly took his wine gourd, went into the house and made a pot of good wine, and put on a humble expression to ask for advice.

"You are quite sincere." Old Man Zhang pretended to be serious, "For your sincerity, I will think about it for you."

Li Jiuzhou then sat down, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Old Man Zhang.

Old Man Zhang lowered his eyes slightly and said with a slight slightest: "But speaking, except for the literary talent, you really don't have anything to beat him."

...Li Jiuzhou couldn't bear to listen and said angrily: "It's not that you were going to harm me, it was to harm An Lushan, hurry up.

Old Man Zhang yawned Lian Tian, ​​and after a deep sip of wine, he dissipated his tired face.

"It's just something An Lushan is best at." Old Man Zhang smiled slightly, as if it was really a very comfortable thing to make Li Jiuzhou beg for him.

Li Jiuzhou let out a secret breath and asked, "What is he best at?"

"You don't know this." Old Man Zhang laughed, "Business has language."

Because An Lushan lived on the border since he was a child and was very polite, he started a business at the border. The most important thing in doing business is to deal with people, and this area is what An Lushan is good at. Therefore, his business is getting bigger and bigger. He can always sell his goods at the first time, and his peers will not be jealous of him. This also proves that An Lushan is very experienced in dealing with people and is particularly hard-working.

In order to make his business better and better, he worked hard to learn the languages ​​of various countries.

Later, An Lushan was proficient in the six languages, and in modern times, he was a true academic master.

He also became the most famous businessman in the local area, and people are not satisfied with the status quo. He has earned enough money and wants to become an official.

As the saying goes, "Money can make the devil push the mill", An Lushan bought an official, and after becoming an official, he naturally saw more things than merchants saw, and he had more opportunities to learn.

This also prompted An Lushan to become more and more interested in being an official. He spent a lot of money to promote himself. Because An Lushan was very flirtatious and very likable, not long after, An Lushan met the emperor as he wished, and with his intelligence and talent, he stayed by the emperor's side and did his work for him.

After a long time, An Lushan accumulated a lot of connections in both business and court. It was precisely because he had been a businessman who knew a lot of strange stories and gossips in the world that he was accustomed to being liked by the emperor and his concubines, and eventually became the emperor's godson.

In fact, An Lushan has more than the emperor, the adoptive father. With a godfather, there will naturally be a godmother, and Yang Guifei became An Lushan's first choice godmother.

Old Man Zhang sighed: "An Lushan is proficient in many languages."

Li Jiuzhou lowered his head slightly, remained silent for a while, and said, "You are right. Tomorrow, I will compete with him for language."

Speaking of language proficiency, Li Jiuzhou had interacted with Yang Feng before and learned a few simple foreign languages.

Although An Lushan is proficient in the languages ​​of several countries, Li Jiuzhou is somewhat simpler.

But An Lushan may not know the language that Li Jiuzhou knows.

For example, in modern society, English, Japanese, Cantonese, and Minnan.

Then, some tricks can make An Lushan look ugly in public.

Thinking of this, Li Jiuzhou was already a little impatient, but he still had to plan it first.

So he thanked Old Man Zhang and said, "You have an idea, you are really my Kongming."

Old Man Zhang spat, "Where is Kong Ming, you still treat yourself as Liu Bei. I'll see you for a long time, and you're afraid you won't even take the emperor seriously."

"Okay, it's getting late, so hurry up and go back and rest." Li Jiuzhou was too lazy to talk to him.

After hearing this, Old Man Zhang got up and glanced at Li Jiuzhou with a little admiration in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Li Jiuzhou looked at him with a strange smile.

Old Man Zhang said: "I'm just surprised. You know a lot of things we don't know, such as language."

Li Jiuzhou was a little confused: "How do you know I understand other languages?"

In his impression, except for Yang Feng's accident, no one knew that he could have other languages.

"I don't know." Old Man Zhang quickly shook his head, "It's just that I just proposed the language of the competition and saw that you were full of confidence."

"So that's it..." Li Jiuzhou thought about it and told the truth, "I do know some other languages."

"You are young and have no experience of storms. Why do you know so much?" Old Man Zhang asked in confusion.

"Because I am a genius." Li Jiuzhou thought for a while and added, "A genius who is the best in the world."

Speaking of being the best in the world, he is not exaggerating. When it comes to ancient society, what is in his mind is naturally unique.

Old Man Zhang suddenly had a greedy look in his eyes and said enviously: "To be honest, I am quite interested in your strange things, so why not teach me some."

Li Jiuzhou nodded and looked at Old Man Zhang's expectant gaze: "But you have to wait until I have time."

"Forget it, you are a busy man, when will you have time?" Old Man Zhang said with some loss.

Li Jiuzhou rubbed his hands and said as if he swears: "I promised you that I will definitely teach you. If you are interested in martial arts, I will give you a martial arts secret book another day."

"Really?" Old Man Zhang's eyes shone.

Li Jiuzhou sighed and found that the bearded old man in front of him was actually quite naive. He moved his heart and decided to write down the Tai Chi in his memory and give it to him.

"Martial arts secrets are in my mind. I have to spend time writing them out. I will give you my heart." Li Jiuzhou said, and he couldn't help but feel happy. Giving him a set of Tai Chi to practice Tai Chi is also what people of his age should do. Skills strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.

Although I don’t remember much, most of them were practiced by other elderly people in parks and other places, Li Jiuzhou had a good memory and the moves he wrote down casually were enough.

"Then let's just say that." Old Man Zhang's face was happy, but he was not a fool. He knew that Li Jiuzhou was just a simple perfunctory man. His martial arts skills were not good. What could the martial arts secrets he gave were useful, but he was still quite happy.

He knew in his heart that with Li Jiuzhou, he would definitely do something important for the country and the people in the future.

This is Old Man Zhang’s long-cherished wish.

Old man Zhang went out to sleep, while Li Jiuzhou was completely sleepy and was thinking in his mind how to deal with An Lushan tomorrow.

This is a rare opportunity. I have to tease An Lushan and make him calm and keep a low profile.

Late at night, Li Jiuzhou sat alone in the room, thinking while drinking the cup of cold tea.

Thinking of his purpose of traveling through time, his lips twitched. At this point, he was still a little far from his goal, and it seemed that he still had to work hard.

Although I have lived a comfortable life during the period of time and everything goes smoothly, the progress is a bit slow.

At least it's much slower than you expected.

Fortunately, everything is going well now. If nothing unexpected happens, his Shuofang Army will soon become the strongest combat power in the Tang Dynasty and become the richest person in the Tang Dynasty. In this way, without An Lushan starting a rebellion first, he will find an excuse to send troops to eliminate him.

Once you have military power, you will naturally have the right to speak. At that time, you can do whatever you want, and even the emperor will probably have to be a little afraid.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to ruin An Lushan, who is in full swing, and start with tomorrow's competition.
