Chapter 32

Hearing Li Mi's words, Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Brother Fazhu speaks seriously, I'm young, but I have a little opinion of a villager in the mountains, how can I be appreciated."

Li Mi shook his head and said: "Brother Li is too modest, if this is a simple view, no one in the world would dare to speak in front of Brother Li."

Li Chongjiu basked in the sun, glanced out of the window and said: "I have a good meeting today, and I am very happy. It's getting late, and it's time to do something else."

Li Mi heard that Li Chongjiu was about to leave, so he stood up and said: "Brother Li, why is he leaving in such a hurry? I have to talk to my subordinates in detail. I would like to ask you for advice. If you are interested, I can recommend one or two important officials of the imperial court to Brother Li." Let's meet each other. They must appreciate Brother Li's talent when they hear of him."

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Fa, for your kindness. I am used to loitering in the clouds and wild cranes. I have no intention of official career. There is always a banquet in the world. In the future, you and I will see each other again one day."

Li Chongjiu has experienced the business for many years, and in his words, he has a decisiveness that cannot be rejected.

Although Li Mi wanted to keep Li Chongjiu, he still let out a long sigh and said: "There is no banquet in the world that never ends, brother Li is a great talent."

Although Li Mi's face was full of reluctance, he could only send Li Chongjiu outside the door.Arrived outside the gate of the White Horse Temple.

Li Mi suddenly asked: "Brother Li, I have something to ask for advice. From your point of view, if you want to take over the world, what should Dongdu do?"

Li Chongjiu pointed at his feet and said: "Brother Fazhu, it is true that Dongdu is not as good as Yong in defense, and not as good as Liang in war. It belongs to the Eastern Capital."

Li Mi pondered for a while, and decided to persuade again: "Brother Li, with your talents, fame and glory are like a pocket bag, and the road to Qingyun is at your fingertips. Why do you condescend to become a commoner and not use your ambitions to display them? under?"

"Brother Fazhu, people have their own aspirations, and you can't force it." Li Chongjiu smiled, bowed deeply, and rode away.

Li Miyao looked at the back of Li Chongjiu's departure, and said with a look of no regret: "Most of the elites of the scholar's family eat vegetarian meals on the corpses, mediocre people, such a real man with real knowledge, but he lives in the farmhouse. It's really a pity."

At that moment, Li Mi thought for a while, and said to the driver on the side of the ox cart: "Immediately take the cart and go to Chu Guogong's mansion."

"Yes." The coachman replied.

After getting on the bullock cart, Li Mi's eyes showed a gloomy look, and he said to himself: "If there are such outstanding people, why worry about the Duke of Chu's great affairs, we must force him to stay and serve the Duke of Chu."

Besides, after Li Chongjiu was out of Li Mi's sight, he immediately whipped his horsewhip vigorously, urged his mount, and galloped on the official road.Along the way, Li Chongjiu refused to stop, and after going straight south for nearly forty miles, his mount couldn't bear it anymore, foaming at the mouth, unable to run any longer.

Li Chongjiu abandoned the horse, carried the package by himself, and left the official road alone.That night Li Chongjiu did not go to the inn, nor did he go to the farmhouse to rest, but rested in an abandoned temple next to the official road.

Li Chongjiu didn't light a fire to keep warm, but was lying in the temple wrapped in a thick leather jacket.

After nightfall, I heard that there are healthy horses galloping past the official road from time to time.Li Chongjiu nodded immediately, thinking that Li Mi was really narrow-minded. After showing his talent, the other party failed to attract him, so he started to force him to stay.

This is the true nature of a hero, and there is nothing to be angry about. If Li Chongjiu's relocation is for Li Mi's sake, he will take this move decisively, or even go further.For Li Chongjiu right now, making friends with Li Mi is just a faint thought.Li Mi's development is in the future, not now.

At this time, Li Mi was working under Yang Xuangan's command. If there were no accidents, it would not be long before Yang Xuangan rebelled.As a result of this rebellion, as we all know, Yang Xuangan was defeated and committed suicide. Li Chongjiu would definitely not look for this bad luck at this time, and he would not even have the idea of ​​making a fool out of the fire.Yang Xuangan's defeat is inevitable, none of Li Mi's top, middle and bottom strategies can save Yang Xuangan.

There was no other reason, but Yang Xuangan's rebellion, no matter from which point of view, he could not overthrow the still powerful Sui Empire.Strategies are only useful when there is no disparity in strength. At this time, rebellion, even if Li Mi has three hundred strategies, it is only a dead end.

What's more, the Great Sui's conquest of Goguryeo was a national war.The two states are fighting for each other's national destiny.No matter whether Li Chongjiu liked Emperor Sui Yang or not, he would not take this opportunity to do anything.As for Li Mi, Li Chongjiu is more optimistic about his future than the present.Leave a break of fate, and when he takes charge of Wagang Village in the future, it will not be too late for Li Chongjiu to join him, otherwise Zhai Rang now, just look at Wang Ruxin to know how big his situation is.

A night without a fire, in the bitterly cold early winter, is really asking for trouble.Li Chongjiu was half frozen and half awake, and slept half the night in the abandoned temple.

Before dawn the next day, Li Chongjiu set off. Along the way, Li Chongjiu heard fast horses galloping on the road from time to time, and at this time Li Chongjiu avoided the side of the road.As for the villages, I dare not enter. Luoyang is the most deeply rooted area under feudal rule. If you see an unknown stranger in the local area, you may arrest him immediately, or arrest him and see the official.

Li Chongjiu did not enter the deep mountain until it was dawn.

The Sanchuan Valley where Luoyang is located is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but the interior is flat.When Li Chongjiu entered the mountain, he knew that he was farther away from Luoyang, but closer to where he was going.

After walking for half a day, I met a hunter in the mountains.

After Li Chongjiu asked him about the way to Xuanyuanguan, he spent another five hundred cash to buy his tiger skin animal clothes, two pieces of rice cakes, and a bunch of dried meat, and then headed east.

After entering the mountainous area, surrounded by dense and dense mountains, Li Chongjiu was a little confused about the route. After that, the medicine farmers, hunters, and woodcutters he met on the road were even more suspicious of Li Chongjiu when they saw Li Chongjiu speaking with an unfamiliar accent.During this period, a woodcutter even led Li Chongjiu to another way and led the villagers to arrest him.

Seeing this, Li Chongjiu took out his two stone bows and shot three arrows into the air.After the other party saw Li Chongjiu showing such amazing archery skills, he gave up his plan.

After that, Li Chongjiu took out his meat to ask for directions, and after spending a lot of money, he found a way out.There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

In the boundless snow, Li Chongjiu walked through the mountains and forests in a coir raincoat with a long sword straddled and a heavy bow on his back.

After leaving Xuanyuan Pass, one of the eight passes in Luoyang, Li Chongjiu stood on the mountain and looked to the south.After asking passers-by, they knew that Zhongyue Songshan was in front of them. At that moment, Li Chongjiu was overjoyed. After trekking thousands of miles from Shangdang County, he finally arrived at the destination.
