A gentleman's command is to keep a simple conversation and speak deeply.
Li Chengzhi just pretended not to realize this and responded vaguely.
Yang Shu glanced at him thoughtfully and ignored it. Then he pointed at the pile of objects in the arms of the commander-in-chief and laughed loudly:
"I have lived in poverty for too long, and I feel jealous when I see good things. I finally bumped into a wealthy family like you, so why not cut it off? I took these items away with me..."
As he spoke, he pointed at Li Shi again and said, "Find me one of those silk clothes too. If you don't take advantage of it, I'll take it off!"
Li Shi seemed to feel a coldness in his crotch, and instinctively closed his legs.
Li Chengzhi couldn’t laugh or cry.
How could he not see that liking it was only part of the reason? It could also be that he was curious and wanted to take it back for study.
Yang Shu's original intention was to express his closeness to himself in this way.
"I really didn't know that the envoy was coming. I was really rude today!"
As he spoke, Li Chengzhi reached out and took off the saber from his waist, holding it with both hands and passing it forward: "Those are just ordinary items. Only this one can barely be worthy of the envoy..."
I originally thought that Yang Shu would decline, but he accepted it without any hesitation: "That would be disrespectful..."
As he spoke, he pulled out the scabbard, and a cold light shone out, causing Yang Shu to narrow his eyes slightly, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat.
How can any general leading an army not like such treasures?
The handsome man holding the soldier's armor had a green light in his eyes.
Yang Shu also had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and asked in a hissing voice: "Is this what you made with that meteorite iron?"
Li Chengzhi is not like Li Shi, who is weak and courageous. Besides, after practicing for some time, his face has become thicker.
He smiled and nodded: "It's indeed good luck, but if you don't get much, you can only get a hundred..."
"How much more do you expect from such an extraterrestrial creature?" Yang Shu took a breath and actually believed Li Chengzhi's words.
Don't blame him for believing it to be true, just saying it looks good: This blade can be used directly as a mirror, how much brighter than the carefully ground bronze mirror?
After listening to it, there are only about a hundred of them, which means that only so many can survive, which shows how precious they are.
Yang Shu was a little embarrassed to accept it, and said hesitantly: "I'm really not trying to trick you. I live a very poor life, and I really don't have ten horses for you!"
Li Chengzhi couldn't laugh or cry: "Is your Majesty just humiliating the juniors?"
Hearing him say these words, Yang Shu stopped being pretentious and closed the sheath of the knife generously and inserted it into his waist: "Although I am not as wealthy as you, I still have a few books hidden away.
Yes, whenever you have free time, you can come and get it!"
Li Chengzhi moved slightly.
It was only then that he was sure that he had indeed fallen into the eyes of this old man.
In this era, collecting books means inheritance, family background, and clan status. If you are not close to your nephews and disciples, there is absolutely no reason to borrow them.
Li Chengzhi bowed slightly: "Then I would like to thank the envoy in advance!"
……
The sun sets over the west mountain, and the dusk falls slightly.
The crimson clouds look like they are dyed with golden light, and they look like a huge koi fish hanging in the blue sky, with its scales rolling.
Light smoke drifts out of the farm, hanging on the walls and roofs of the houses, as if covered with a veil.
The auxiliary army has already taken the prisoners and set off, and the soldiers have been packed up and are leaving the village one after another.
Li Chengzhi led a group of personal guards and sent Yang Shu and Hu Baoyi across the Red River.
"Stay"
Yang Shu stopped his horse and hugged Li Chengzhi, "You have to march at night, so you shouldn't delay. Be careful on the road!"
"Then I'll send you off not far away!" Li Chengzhi laughed loudly, turned his head and bowed to Hu Baoyi, "Brother Mingfu, I'm really neglectful today, don't be offended. I will come back to Jingyang the next day.
I apologize to you..."
Hu Baoyi's teeth itched with hatred.
It's not just a neglect, it's simply unreasonable?
It took half a day, until it was time to see him off, that he saw Li Chengzhi once?
But he also knew that the blame was not on Li Chengzhi.
Zhao Yuan had been kept out of the account, and he saw Yang Shu pulling Li Chengzhi and chatting for nearly two hours.
If Yang Shu doesn't let him go, can Li Chengzhi leave him to greet him?
This old thief did it on purpose...
Hu Baoyi forced out a smile and replied with a smile on his face: "Military affairs are the most important thing, so why should Chengzhi care about these complicated etiquette? When you come to Jingyang, I will sweep the bed to welcome you."
Li Chengzhi laughed and said: "Then we will meet again someday!"
As he spoke, he turned his head again, glanced at Zhao Yuan coldly, and finally raised his hands and clasped his fists: "Captain Zhao, I'm offended!"
This is for Hu Baozong’s sake.
Regardless of whether Yang Shu's worries are unfounded, it is an indisputable fact that Hu Baozong worked hard for himself. Even if we talk about it from this point of view, we still have to save some face for Zhao Yuan.
Knowing that Li Chengzhi could do nothing to him at this time, Zhao Yuan still couldn't muster the courage to say harsh words, and he didn't return the favor. He just snorted and turned his head.
No matter how stingy Li Chengzhi was, he was not naive enough to argue with such a wise child. He ignored them and clasped his fists at several people: "Please take care of me!"
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and chased after the rear army.
It wasn't until Li Chengzhi rode his horse and walked a few dozen feet that he heard a squeaking sound coming from Zhao Yuan's mouth. Several people looked sideways and found that he was gritting his teeth.
Hu Baoyi was slightly shocked: What tricks did Li Chengzhi use to make Zhao Yuan, who was usually extremely arrogant and domineering even in front of his father, not even dare to bite his teeth in front of him?
Just as he was startled and doubtful, he heard Zhao Yuan yell again: "Old thief Yang Shu, how dare you harm me?"
"Profound..."
Before the word "Shut up" was shouted, a "pop" was heard, followed by another scream.
Hu Baoyi was startled, and when he looked up, Zhao Yuan was covering his face, as if in disbelief, staring at Yang Shu in shock and anger.
A few drops of blood seeped out from between his fingers and dripped onto Zhao Yuan's armor.
Yang Shu was holding a riding whip in his hand, and he had clearly whipped Zhao Yuan.
Hu Baoyi secretly screamed: Are you going to suffer?
Before he could stop him with his hands, he heard Zhao Yuan yell loudly: "Ah... old thief, I'm going to kill you..."
He was shouting, and he was like crazy, pulling hard on the horse's rein, as if he wanted to pounce on it and fight for his life.
The guard leader's face turned pale, he bent down to explore, grabbed the bridle of Zhao Yuan's horse, and pushed it to his side.
"Let go..." Zhao Yuan roared angrily, his hands subconsciously groping around his waist, as if he was looking for a weapon, but after groping for a long time, he found nothing.
He had forgotten that Li Rui had already cut off his sword, fearing that he would act recklessly if he was not clear-headed. The horse was a new horse that Li Shi assigned to him. It had nothing but a saddle and a bridle.
"Hehehe..." Yang Shu laughed strangely, stretched out his hand, pulled out his sword, and pointed at Zhao Yuan, "I happened to get such a treasure today, so I'll take advantage of you, an ignorant kid..." p>
"Your Majesty, I can't..." Hu Baoyi screamed, urging his horse to stop in the middle.
The head of the personal guard turned green with fright. He covered Zhao Yuan's mouth and shouted in his ear, "Captain Lieutenant, he really dares to kill you..."
Zhao Yuan's expression froze, just like a sculpture, he was stunned on his horse.
Instinctively, Li Chengzhi bared his white teeth and smiled at him sinisterly: I really dare to kill you...
Immediately, his body trembled involuntarily...
Seeing that he didn't move, Yang Shu sheathed the knife and snorted again: "Let's go!"
A group of personal guards followed him and left with whips raised.
"Why is this happening?" Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth and roared.
It was clear that he was still on top before, and everyone wanted to give him a few points, but in the blink of an eye, he fell into the mud, and cats and dogs dared to humiliate him?
The guard leader sighed secretly.
Why else?
They teased you like a dog for half a month, and it was clear that they wanted to take advantage of you. Now that they have finished using you, how can they still pamper you?
You humiliated the elders first, and everyone is watching. If Yang Shu really wants to kill you, even if the clan leader comes forward, he may not be able to get you justice...
But he just thought in his heart, if Zhao Yuan was really someone who could listen to reason, how could he be so domineering?
Hu Baoyi’s intestines are almost turning green.
If he had known that so many changes would happen, how could he bring Zhao Yuan into trouble?
When he learned that the two armies were fighting, Yang Shu said he would go out of the city to explore.
Everyone just thought that he just wanted to see the result. If the rebels won, Jingyang City, which was just around the corner, would naturally have to take precautions early.
It happened that Hu Shiyong also wanted to find out, and wanted to know whether Li Chengzhi was really, as Hu Baozong said in his letter, an unparalleled talent in the world, and whether he was worthy of the Hu family's efforts to recruit him.
But Hu Duo was trapped in Jingzhou, and Hu Baozong was not here either. Most of the remaining members of the clan who knew military matters only had a superficial understanding of it.
After much deliberation, I asked Hu Baoyi to take Zhao Yuan with him, thinking that he was at least a county lieutenant. Not only had he fought against the Qiang and Hu, but he had also fought against the Huns in Qinzhou and Jingzhou when they rebelled three years ago. He must have had enough experience.<
/p>
But who would have thought that Yang Shu would be tricked?
If he had known that he would meet Li Chengzhi, he would not have let Zhao Yuan come if he killed Hu Shiyong.
What kind of temperament does this son-in-law have? How can he still not know?
The result is that, before even meeting this person, he becomes an enemy?
Not to mention that Li Chengzhi is extremely smart, but anyone with a little bit of brains would never marry the Hu family when seeing Zhao Yuan being so domineering.
A good plan went awry like this?
Hu Baoyi gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn’t know who to hate first?
My father has also lost his mind and would marry his sister to such a fool?
This is not forced help, it is clearly an enemy...
After all, he is a child of aristocratic family. Regardless of whether he is capable or not, the city government is still somewhat good. Hu Baoyi tried his best to hold back his anger and comforted: "Shen Shenran, let's go back to the city first!"
"Are you even here to laugh at me?"
Sensing the alienation in Hu Baoyi's tone, Zhao Yuan was furious: "Hu Baoyi, why has no one told me that Li Chengzhi dared to kill even an official? He is clearly rebelling, so why do you wait and act like you can't see him?" Kill an official?
No wonder he was like a mouse meeting a cat in front of Li Chengzhi. He thought that Li Chengzhi had also turned against him?
"From the county magistrate Suo Siwen on down, the county magistrates of Chao Na take the initiative to collude with the rebels and persecute the common people and squires. What kind of officials are they? Anyone whose bad behavior is revealed will be punished by everyone..."
Hu Baoyi sighed sadly again: "Including today, you were wrong first. Even if Li Chengzhi really killed you, there was nothing wrong! So, don't think about revenge anymore, no one will make the decision for you...
…”
What the hell are you talking about?
Do you still want me to express gratitude for his kindness in not killing?
Zhao Yuan was so angry that he was shaking all over...
