Three days later, in a restaurant by the Fenyang Bridge, Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl waited for the bearded guest, and the three of them entered the city together and found Liu Wenjing, a close friend who had a good relationship with Li Jing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, Liu Wenjing had already entered Li Yuan's door, and under his introduction, the three of them first went to meet Li Yuan.

In the left-behind mansion, I saw Li Yuan, who had been admired for a long time in Taiyuan, and saw that he was wearing homely casual clothes, wide clothes and large sleeves, and he was very simple; when Li Yuan saw the visitor, he was warm and polite, his spirit was bright, and his temperament was different from that of ordinary people. The three of them were very respectful in their hearts, and they hoped to see Li Yuan's son Li Shimin again, and after Liu Wenjing's arrangement, they agreed to meet Li Shimin at a Taoist temple outside the city.

The next day, Li Jing, the Red Whisk Girl, and the Bearded Guest came to the Taoist Temple early in the morning to wait. Soon after, Li Shimin rode a horse to the Taoist temple, Li Shimin dismounted and waved to the guests, only to see that he was refreshed and vigorous, his spirit was deep, and he looked forward to being a hero; he sat on the stone bench, like the morning glow of the sunrise, and the heroes were compelling.

In the verdant courtyard of the ancient cypress of the Taoist temple, Li Shimin, Li Jing, and the bearded guest sat on the stone benches around the stone table and talked heartily. They evaluate the current situation, express their ambitions, and before they know it, the sun is tilting westward.

Li Shimin left the three of them to live in Taiyuan for a while, and during this time, Li Shimin invited them to the mansion many times to talk, but the bearded guest always let Li Jing go alone, and he wandered around the city. Soon after, the bearded guest proposed to return to Chang'an, and Li Shimin also intended to let Li Jing and his wife go back to Chang'an first to investigate the situation, because Li Shimin still had some things to explain to Li Jing, and Li Jing and his wife could not go back to Chang'an with the bearded guest.

Before breaking up, the bearded guest said to the red whisk girl earnestly: "Li Lang is a promising man, but the time has not yet come. The first sister has no place to live in Chang'an, I will go back to Chang'an first to settle a house for the first sister, and you will come to Chang'an to find me in Zhen'anfang. ”

Soon after, Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl came to Chang'an as promised, looking for a Zhen'an Fang, in the place where the bearded guest said, saw a circle of high walls, when the street was an old small door, the two stepped forward to knock on the door, the door creaked open from the inside, the door was opened by a neatly dressed servant old man, this person saw the visitor and looked at it, and then said respectfully: "San Lang ordered the old servant to wait for Li Lang and a lady here." ”

Then he invited them into the door, and when they entered the courtyard, there was no house, only patches of trees and flowers, and a path in the middle stretched into the depths of the flowers and trees. The old servant led the two guests along the path to the inside, the more they walked, the wider and wider, after a while, they came to a large courtyard, this is really a courtyard within a courtyard, passing through the black wooden gate, suddenly the eyes lit up, only to see the flowers and trees in the courtyard, the room is magnificent and gorgeous, and dozens of slaves and maids are neatly arranged under the corridor.

The old servant led them straight into the hall, which was wide and bright, and the magnificence of the hall was comparable to that of the royal palace. Several gorgeous maidservants greeted them, waited for Li Jing and the red whisk girl to bathe and change clothes, washed away the dust of the road, and then sat down in the hall.

At this time, the master came out from the side, and saw him wearing a black gauze hat and a purple brocade shirt, with fresh eyebrows and a smile on his face, just like the two in the past. Seeing the guests, he said loudly: "Li Lang and the first sister have worked hard all the way. "We greeted each other, sat down with the guests, and talked about the situation after the breakup.

Then the host beckoned: "Open the feast!"

A team of maids shuttled back and forth, and after a while, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas were displayed in front of them, and the host raised his glass to greet the guests, and the three of them drank happily as if they were in a small inn. Under the seat, the female musicians played light music, and the dancing girls danced, and the scene was grand, not inferior to the princely house.

After the banquet, the bearded servant took out twenty large boxes, as well as some documents and keys, pointed to Li Jing and said: "If there is a big chaos today, and the four sides rise together, I originally intended to chase the Central Plains, but after seeing Li Yuan and Li Shimin in Taiyuan, the two of them were generous and heroic, which made me sigh to myself, so I had to retreat." All the contents of the box, which I have kept over the years, which I have intended as capital for great things, are no longer necessary, and I would like to give them to you and your wife to help you in your future achievements. ”

Without waiting for the Li couple to answer, the bearded guest continued to admonish: "Li Lang is a genius, and he will definitely be a great minister in the future; If it weren't for the first sister's unique vision, it wouldn't be able to recognize Li Lang in the midst of adversity, and if it wasn't for Li Lang's lofty spirit, he wouldn't be able to get the heart of the first sister. The tiger roars and the wind rises, the dragon soars and the clouds are together, it is not an accident, now the son of the saint will rise, the wind and clouds will meet, it is the time for the husband to make contributions, I hope you can work together to create a grand plan. ”

The bearded guest talked loudly, Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl had no chance to interject, and when he finished explaining the advice, the Red Whisk Girl hurriedly asked: "So where does the third brother want to go?"

The bearded guest smiled indifferently, looked into the distance, and replied: "The end of the world, the wanderer is uncertain, in the next ten years, if there is any strange news thousands of miles away from the southeast, it will be the time to be proud of the brother, and then it is enough for the first sister and Li Lang to sprinkle wine and congratulate the southeast." ”

After the bearded guest finished speaking, he immediately handed over the document book and the key to the Red Whisk Girl, and ordered the servants and maids to gather outside the hall to meet Li Jing and his wife, and instructed: "From now on, Li Gongzi and his wife will be your masters, you should wait and serve carefully, and do not neglect." ”

Faced with such a sudden scene, Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl didn't know what to do. The bearded guest didn't wait for them to say anything, turned around and entered the inner room, and after a while, he changed into a short outfit, he still carried the big leather bag in his hand, hurriedly said to Li Jing and his wife, said goodbye, and then went out on the road, whipping away, like a swift whirlwind.

The bearded guest never explained his identity, and Li Jing and his wife were inconvenient to ask in detail, and watched his figure disappear into the trees, and tears flowed from both of their faces.

The red-whisked girl pulled Li Jing to inspect the cage, which contained countless gold, silver and jewels of great value; and there were several baskets of military books, recording all kinds of magical ways of using troops and some long-lost methods of calculation.

With the family property left by the bearded guest, Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl became a wealthy family in Chang'an, and they could buy officials with money, and soon after, Li Jing became the merit of Chang'an County. In addition to official duties, Li Jing diligently studied and figured out the military books left by the bearded guest, so that he made great progress in the art of war and strategy, so that in the future wars, he could always anticipate things like a god.

"If the husband can meet the Lord and the time, he will make meritorious contributions. Li Jing is waiting for the opportunity to show his talents, and the Red Whisk Girl often compares him to a dormant dragon that will inevitably soar into the sky once the wind and clouds meet.
