They were only three or five screens apart, and Nian Pingzhi's conversations with several officials around Dianbing Pass were like catkins flying in the deep spring. No matter how he waved his arms, they still fell into his nose and ears, driving them away. He couldn't get it, and kept scattering. At that moment, Zhao Ziyang frowned, and he drank the wine in the pot in a waning mood, then got up and left.
"Gang Leader Zhao seems to be very unwilling to listen to such official talk?" Li Fu'an had been studying it for a long time. Seeing the young man in front of him frowning frequently, he was about to leave the table and sneered, "Everyone in the world is hiding in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests. Most of the old monsters who practice are weird and lonely. They have been away from the human world for many years. They may not have spoken to anyone for ten years. Naturally, they don’t know what it means to be worldly and they act according to their own desires, so they look very strange. Gang Leader Zhao It has only been a year since I left the deserted place, but now I have begun to take on the appearance of a senior who has been in seclusion for decades, which really makes Zaixia extremely happy."
"That's natural. After listening to this conversation, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to endure it. I dug out two green bricks of good quality and suitable softness and hardness from the streets, and slapped them one by one, knocking down all these people. This is pure."
It was rare that Zhao Ziyang did not make sarcastic remarks, but held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Probably no one wants to say such polite and polite words, and they also include a little bit of showmanship and crowning skills. Listening to it makes your stomach churn. , let alone saying it in person, pretending to be familiar with each other, calling them brothers, and squeezing out some superficial smiles, in my opinion, is one of the most difficult things in the world, and the most unappetizing."
What Li Fu'an said was exactly right. Zhao Ziyang lives in the south of Yizhang and practices guns all day long. He often has to be verbally humiliated by the gray-haired man, or he is beaten several times with a gun and stick. He eats less. My strength was weak. After the first half month, I no longer had the leisure time to talk. I just relied on the elk, rabbit, and hogs roasted under the dangerous peaks through the clouds to barely survive. If not, I might not be able to hold on for a few days before riding a crane. Go west and become one of those starving ghosts from life to life.
The fewer words he speaks, there is no superfluous movement in his body. On the contrary, his movements become smarter and more vigorous, and he seems to act according to his heart's desire and act without any scruples.
Zhao Ziyang raised his eyebrows, looked at the faces of the people whose faces were obscured by the screen, and then stared at the tightly wrapped gun on the table, raising his eyebrows almost invisible. He is a young man with outstanding facial features. He has only just reached the age of crowning. Although he has been delayed for a long time in practicing spears, he has never taken the crowning ceremony. Moreover, he suffered from hunger while practicing spears. , he has become much thinner, and he looks more and more older, but if you take a closer look at his facial features, you can see that he is still a handsome man with serious eyebrows. At this moment, he relaxes his brows, and after all, he no longer shows his worries.
"According to what you say, I really want to learn this conversational skill. At least one day I meet a master who I can't beat. If I just plead a few words, I can still save my life with Zhang Lingli's clever words. It's really good. A deal."
"It's delicious when eaten vertically, but hard to swallow when horizontally. Common people know this, let alone an official who is ups and downs in the officialdom and walks on thin ice all day long." Li Fu'an seemed to be quite used to Zhao Ziyang's recent undisguised speech. Thinking that it sounded quite interesting, he shook his head and continued, "Let's put aside the so-called right and wrong. Speaking is an extremely profound knowledge. No matter how much literature and ink is left in the belly, there is no way to figure out who has a bright face in the teapot. Do you know how capable you are?"
"In other words, when you draw a gun and pass it around, move it as you wish. When you pass a move, one move is fatal. When you retreat, no drop of water or oil can be poured in. Think about it, there are not many people in the world who can do it. How can you speak the words that everyone knows mellowly? It doesn’t matter, attack and retreat are all in the palm of your hand, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, circuitous and pressing, what a world-shaking knowledge."
"It's okay to listen, but what I care about the most is not learning words in front of me, but what is the relationship between this Xia Song Kingdom and my life experience. I have spent many days wandering around in endless circles.
Counting the money, the horse's hooves are more than half worn, and the horseshoes have been replaced three or five times. They have traveled thousands of miles, and they will not come straight to Xiasong just to relax." The young man narrowed his eyes and glanced lightly. Li Fu'an called the waiter to add another pot of wine and hot tea, and then continued to smile, "I guess there must be something that Brother Li should be more anxious about than me. Otherwise, he would never have been involved in danger many times in the past. When going around Nangong Mountain, although the people on the mountain are kind, most of them have weird temperaments and may inevitably cause trouble. This way, you will know that the person behind you must be very anxious. In this case, there is no need to hide too much. "
"What the gang leader said makes sense. Don't believe that the power of words can add two points to your chances of winning. Especially for the so-called upright sects in the world, they must talk a few words before fighting. If the gang leader has a deep language skills, it is like the mighty river tide. , or the undercurrent of the sinking lake, maybe it is actually a three-point chance of winning before using the weapon, or it is angry and makes the wrong move, or it is hesitant to take action due to doubts, but it can always be helped. In this case, it can take advantage of Why not take advantage of it?"
Even though they have known each other for many years and have given up the name of Li San in the White Tiger Gang, Li Fuan is still in the habit of calling Gang Leader Zhao. No matter how hard the latter tries to change his mind and change his title, Li Fu'an is still It didn't help matters. He was used to hearing Li Fu'an call him the gang leader dozens of times a day, so he had no choice but to let this man whose origins were still unclear, but who was very deep in the city and had a lot of hidden clumsiness, happily surround him.
"Xia Song is in an extremely good place. It has never been as warm and humid as in Yi Zhang, and it has never been cold and quiet in the Great Yuan Dynasty. Among the nine kingdoms in the world, Xia Song is in the middle. It should be a battleground. If you occupy this place, It faces the East Islands across the sea, blocks the Yuan Dynasty and Zihao to the north, and suppresses the dangerous Nanli Road to the south. Although it is a target of public criticism, this place alone can shock half of the country, and it has naturally become a battleground for military strategists in ancient times. Of course, it will be remembered by many people. Now is the time when Emperor Xia Song is in the prime of his life and in the prime of life. Although there are many foreign enemies, there are covenants that can sustain him for a while. Furthermore, the emperor's thoughts are stable and his methods are extraordinary, so he can always solve the problem for a while. Half a moment of worry.”
"But there is one thing that many good ministers and idle scholars from ancient times often forget and are still unable to solve. A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest instead of a torrent. If there are rebellious ministers and traitors in the court, they will commit crimes. , gnawing on the entire summer pine court hall all day long, you don’t have to wait until the war breaks out, this summer pine tree in the middle of the world will probably fall apart at the touch of a touch." Li Fuan took a deep look and was a little confused. Zhao Ziyang, who was clear-headed, thought for a long time, then lowered his voice, came closer and whispered, "There are many people with mixed ears, so it is inconvenient to talk too much about the internal affairs of the bureau with the gang leader, but you might as well imagine it first. If the gang leader's parents, You are the powerful man who controls the wind and rain in this Xia Song territory, and can shock the whole country with just a move of his shoulders. If you come to the door on your own, don't talk about practicing martial arts and practicing spears in the future. The bells ring every day, the cauldrons are eaten, and the jade sachets are worn. Who would want to suffer like that? share the sin."
Li Fu'an had appeared many times in the villages at the foot of Nangong Mountain. Yan Jiaqing accidentally mentioned these things. He originally intended to invite this man with unpredictable origins to the mountain to talk about it, but the latter always only wandered around the foot of the mountain for a while every day. , and then left on his own. Even though Yan Jiaqing caught up to invite him, the man just smiled shyly and declined politely.
The man was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head helplessly, put the drink he had poured into the palm of his hand, and put it on the table. He sighed belatedly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the gang leader. No matter what, it's Nangong Mountain." Once the territory is exposed, it will be difficult to hide it again.”
It is when the summer pine trees are still in good condition, and the swallows return in groups, walking through the streets in small groups. Although it is still a light spring month, the spring is not cold in the summer pine trees. The spring breeze is still biting elsewhere, and when it falls on the summer pine trees, it is like a heroine drinking three cups and two ounces. The lamp rarely reveals a bit of elusive and untouchable girlishness, better than rouge, the lips are like applying vermilion, gently and softly caressing the cheeks of passers-by and travelers, it is so beautiful that it makes people forget their worries; the willow branches have just sprouted new buds, and the spring breeze of February Cut like a ruler, after careful comparison, cut the willow leaves that are eager to reveal their true colors into a shape like a sword or a boat. After careful consideration, I came back with pride, leaving only clusters of willow leaves with little eyebrows, shaking their heads in the wind. , already a bit more charming than ordinary girls.
"Before this, it's best to meet an old friend. I haven't seen him for many years. I didn't expect that he would reach this point, but it made me look at him differently." Li Fu'an raised his head and looked at what was beyond the obstruction of the stacked screens. Several officials looked in the direction, their expressions showed some strangeness, and they murmured in a low voice, "Back then, I was just a kid playing in the mud in the courtyard, but now I have made a name for myself. It's a pity that this talent can only be hidden in the dark." Behind the bead curtain, it has been a long time coming to the stage."
"There's no need to show off, just tell him." Zhao Ziyang had long been accustomed to the man in front of him never telling the truth and always leaving half a step behind before he advanced. He glanced at him coldly and said impatiently.
There was not much fun in the restaurant, but there were naturally literate people chatting with each other, talking about wonderful things, and thoughts were rolling around frequently, but they almost forgot to drink, but the drunkenness became more intense, their faces turned red, and they did not forget to lower their voices. So as not to disturb others.
The young man with increasingly sharp eyebrows touched the big gun on the table. For no reason, he thought of an old friend he had not seen again for a long time. He lowered his eyebrows for a long time, then slowly picked up the wine bottle and replaced the drunk man sitting opposite him, who was already a strong man. Li Fuan, who had his eyes wide open, filled the cup in front of him. He didn't know if he remembered something funny. He smiled and raised his head with one hand. He looked out of the restaurant with eyes full of joy. It was so rich that it was almost impossible to hide it. He forced his way into the building. The spring breeze hums an unknown tune.
It seemed that all the desolation all over his body was gone in an instant, and the spring light was eager to see it, but finally it came forward and landed on the young man's clothes.
