Zhao Mingyuan was taken to the guest room. After seeing that no one was paying attention, he visited Pegasus Ranch at night and headed towards the back mountain of Pegasus Ranch.
By the time Shang Xiuxun was enjoying the supper, Zhao Mingyuan had already arrived in front of a two-story building.
At this time, the lights on the second floor were still on, indicating that someone was living there and not sleeping yet, as if they were waiting for someone.
I saw a couplet hung on both sides of the entrance, "In the morning it is better to tune the piano, and in the evening it is better to play the harp; the old rain comes at the right time, and the new rain comes at the beginning." The font is elegant and dusty, vigorous and powerful.
Coupled with a plaque that reads "Comfortable Home", it makes people feel peaceful and peaceful, and makes people feel that the person who lives here must be an elegant scholar.
Zhao Mingyuan did not hide his aura, so as soon as he arrived at the door, a clear and elegant voice came from the small building, "The distinguished guest has arrived, why not come in and taste the newly brewed Liuguo wine."
Zhao Mingyuan naturally knew that the person speaking was Lu Miaozi, who was known as "the most skilled craftsman in the world" and the father of Pegasus Ranch Shang Xiuxun.
Zhao Mingyuan immediately pushed open the door and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
I saw a person standing in front of the window, facing the window.
Although his face cannot be seen immediately because his back is turned, it is obvious that he is an old man, with a tall and elegant crown and a long robe, which gives him an aura that makes mountains look up to him.
No wonder experts like to turn their backs to the world. It can indeed increase their temperament and mystery!
The upper floor is divided into two rooms, front and rear, with a screen. A round table and square chairs are placed on one side, and the other side should be the master's sleeping place.
There were wine glasses and wine utensils on the table, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
Under the illumination of the palace lanterns on both sides, apart from tables and chairs, there are only a few necessary pieces of furniture, all made of rosewood, with an elegant and noble style.
It is unethical to interrupt other people's pretense. Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan allowed Lu Miaozi to sculpt her body there. He picked up the jug and filled a glass.
The fruity wine enters the throat, and the wine tastes mellow, soft and refreshing. The most rare thing is the rich and harmonious aroma, which makes people have a long aftertaste.
It is indeed a wine that even Lu Miaozi is very proud of!
Sure enough, it seemed that Zhao Mingyuan was very satisfied with this, and Lu Miaozi said calmly: "This wine is brewed from six kinds of fresh fruits: pomegranate, grape, orange, hawthorn, green plum, and pineapple. After fruit selection, washing, It goes through the processes of blanching, crushing, core discarding, maceration, juice extraction, fermentation, glue blending, filtration, and alcoholization, and then it is put into wooden barrels and aged underground for three years before it is ready. It tastes pretty good, right?”
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but sincerely praised: "Yes, you are really good at winemaking, and you are very creative. If you concentrate on this, you must have become a winemaker long ago, and it is possible to create a wonderful wine recipe that has been passed down through the ages. Yes. What a pity!"
After hearing this, Lu Miaozi couldn't help but chuckled twice, feeling very angry.
I think I, Lu Miaozi, am proficient in martial arts, organ skills, medicine, gossip, astronomy, gardening, architecture, art of war, gambling, etc. But you actually said that I would be better off as a winemaker. Are you looking down on me?
Lu Miaozi couldn't help turning her head and looked at Zhao Mingyuan.
Only then did Zhao Mingyuan see Lu Miaozi's appearance.
It was a very special face, and it looked somewhat similar to Shang Xiuxun.
His long, thick black eyebrows extend all the way to his gray temples, in sharp contrast to his deep, hawk-like eyes.
His nose bridge is straight and powerful, coupled with his lips that naturally reveal arrogance, his slender and clean face, and the melancholy wrinkles at the corners of his mouth and under his eyes.
The combination of all this made him look tired and sad, unwilling to get involved in worldly affairs. He looked like a prince and aristocrat who once enjoyed all the wealth and glory in the world, but now his heart is filled with despair.
In fact, this is somewhat possible. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties before the Sui Dynasty, the situation was unpredictable. I don’t know how many princes and nobles fell into the dust in one day.
After even Xiao Mian was a member of the royal family, it was very possible that Lu Miaozi had such great abilities and had an extraordinary background.
However, everything has passed. No matter how noble his birth was, he is now just an old man waiting here to die.
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Lu Miaozi's face, Zhao Mingyuan started from the architectural layout of the small building and criticized its shortcomings.
Lu Miaozi was naturally dissatisfied.
If Zhao Mingyuan was just nitpicking, it would be nothing more than nonsense.
But every word Zhao Mingyuan said hit the point and was meaningful, letting Lu Miaozi know that he was also a master in this field.
The dignity of the most skilled craftsman in the world cannot be offended, so Lu Miaozi argued with Zhao Mingyuan.
The two of them talked about architecture, gardens, astronomy, geography, astrology and gossip, and even government agencies, art of war, and even political strategies.
Although the two of them argued endlessly in their mouths, they couldn't help but admire each other's knowledge in their hearts. They regretted meeting each other so late, and secretly regarded each other as their old friend.
Especially Lu Miaozi, who is known as the most skilled craftsman in the world and has been famous all over the world for many years. Even Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian and Sanren Ning Daoqi treated him with courtesy.
Therefore, Lu Miaozi was naturally extremely arrogant. He thought he was the smartest person in the world and thought that no one could compare with him.
Unexpectedly, today he would actually meet such a person who is also knowledgeable and involved in all aspects, and is simply not inferior to him.
Moreover, this person is much younger than him.
Lu Miaozi seemed to see herself when she was young, just as talented and arrogant, as if there was nothing in the world that she couldn't do.
It's a pity that in the end, my own personal experience told me that no matter how talented a person is, there will always be things that he cannot do. In the end, I was left with endless regrets.
In this world, strength is everything, and everything else is just the icing on the cake.
Thinking of this, Lu Miaozi couldn't help but sigh.
"well……"
Hearing Lu Miaozi's long and emotional sigh, Zhao Mingyuan said: "What are you sighing for? Are you admitting that you are not as good as me and admitting defeat? Are you thinking that the waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and lamenting that you are already old?"
Lu Miaozi smiled bitterly and said: "If I were twenty years younger, or even just ten years old, I would definitely compete with Mr. Zhao. But, hey! I am indeed old now!"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Huh? Do you know who I am?"
"Of course! Zhao Mingyuan defeated Zhang Xutuo, cleverly captured the Luokou warehouse, defeated Wang Shichong, and overwhelmed Li Mi. He defeated Du Fuwei with one move and destroyed the Baling Gang with one man. He was the third leader of Wagangzhai.
Each of these deeds has already become famous all over the world.
Everyone in the world doesn’t know, everyone doesn’t know!
Even a person like me, who has no interest in world affairs, has already heard of such a heroic figure as Mr. Zhao! Lu Miaozi joked with a smile.
Zhao Mingyuan smiled quite proudly and said: "If it's easy to say, just say more!"
Praise from others is nothing, but being praised by a strange person like Lu Miaozi is different and makes people feel even better.
Lu Miaozi suddenly poured cold water on Zhao Mingyuan and said: "It seems that your current situation seems to be in an excellent situation. But in fact, it is just flowers blooming and fire cooking oil, and the glory will not last long.
In fact, your foundation is indeed unstable, and a big defeat may reveal your true colors. Since then, it has been unable to recover and suffered a complete defeat.
The most important thing is that the power behind you is too weak to compare with your opponents. "
As if afraid that Zhao Mingyuan would not believe it, Lu Miaozi continued: "Of course I am not talking about Li Mi from Wagang Village.
Li Mi is naturally not your opponent.
I believe it is not difficult for you to unify Wagangzhai and capture Luoyang.
Even after forming an alliance with the Song clan, it is very possible to take over the entire south and occupy half of the country.
However, you don't know how powerful your opponent is. "
When Lu Miaozi said this, her whole expression changed, and she seemed to feel sad for Zhao Mingyuan, a little brother whom she had a good impression of.
As if to break Zhao Mingyuan's unrealistic fantasy, Lu Miaozi continued:
"Your real opponent is Li Clan!
It is the Li Clan who is supported by the clans in Guanzhong, and it is the Li Clan who is supported by all the righteous schools of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism in the world. Even the Demonic Sect will definitely bet on it.
So many forces are standing against you.
It's not easy to reverse the situation on your own! "
It must be said that Lu Miaozi is indeed a famous wise man, and he can see clearly from the outside. The Li clan indeed received support from all forces, and was able to conquer the world very quickly.
Just look at the rewards given to these forces after Li Clan gained the world, and we can see the clues.
Needless to say, close the door valve. During the Tang Dynasty, everyone was proud to marry a girl with the fifth surname, but the princess of the Tang Dynasty could not marry at all. You can see the prosperity of the family.
It was during the Tang Dynasty that Buddhism almost reached its peak. Xuanzang’s Buddhist scriptures from the Western Regions pushed Buddhism to its peak.
Naturally, the Taoist sect also achieved extraordinary results, and the Li family directly respected Li Er as their ancestor. As a result, Louguan Taoism became the first Taoist sect in the world.
And Li Shimin's comment about "helping the world and bringing peace to the people" explains a lot of things.
As for the Demon Sect, just by looking at the fact that Li Shimin's wife Changsun Wujia was born in the Demon Sect, and his father Changsun Sheng was from the Demon Sect's Demon Sect, we can see how deeply the Demon Sect is hidden and how cryptic the bets are.
There are no notable figures in the Confucian sect. Maybe the world is dominated by martial arts and there are various forces, which makes the Confucian sect not so strong.
However, the people who govern the world are always from Confucian origin, which shows the strength of Confucianism.
In fact, the descendants of hundreds of schools of thought in the Demon Sect are just losers when the Confucian sect only respected Confucianism. Nowadays, they are not even worthy to be compared with Confucianism, and they only dare to fight with Buddhism.
It can be seen that Confucianism is the giant lurking deep in the bottom of the sea, and no one dares to offend it.
With the support of so many forces, no one's hidden strength can compare with Li Clan's. Li Clan's advantages are almost unique.
However, in the face of Lu Miaozi's kind persuasion, Zhao Mingyuan said: "The battle for hegemony is not about who is stronger, whoever has more power behind him will definitely win.
Otherwise, the world today still belongs to Yang Guang. Who has the greater advantage over him? "
