Volume 1 Bead Curtain Twilight Rolling West Mountain Rain Chapter 108 Mr. Li

"Sir, are you really one hundred and fifty years old?"

Li Diudiu finally couldn't help but ask curiously, in fact, what Yan Qingzhi said was right, he probably already believed it in his heart, and he just wanted to get confirmation from Mr. Li's mouth.

But apparently Mr. Li didn't intend to say anything, because in his opinion, what Li Qi was struggling with now was inconsequential.

"Whether I'm one hundred and fifty years old or not has anything to do with what you're going to learn now?"

Mr. Li reverted to his uninterested appearance, and he sat at the table writing and drawing, this time not knowing what he was writing, still densely packed like a ghost drawing.

Li Didiu said seriously: "The student just wants to ask, if Mr. Ruo is really one hundred and fifty years old, then ...... Can you see Xu expelling captivity? ”

Mr. Li nodded casually: "Yes." ”

Li Diudian was stunned.

Immediately after his eyes lit up, he couldn't help but lean towards Mr. Li's side, and said in an almost flattering tone: "Sir, tell me about Xu Qiyu." ”

"I don't want to talk about it."

Mr. Li's gaze never left the paper in front of him, and Li Diudian subconsciously glanced at it, and the paper was still written by Mr. Li, but there were no words.

"Why are you so interested in Xu Qiyu?"

Mr. Li finally replied.

Li Diudiu hurriedly said: "Great Chu God of War...... When I was a child, my master told me the story of Xu Qiyu, how he beat the people of the Western Regions to cry for his father and mother, and beat the people of the Western Regions back to the Great Chu in the First World War, and dozens of small countries surrendered. ”

"Fake."

Mr. Li looked at Li Diudiu and said: "There are only seven small countries in total, and it is just an exaggeration by the Emperor of Chu to say that there are dozens. ”

Li Diudiu said: "But Xu Qiyu's record is not fake. ”

Mr. Li said: "That's not it, but it's not as strong as you think, in the battle of Tuolanguan in the Western Regions, Xu Qiyu used 6,000 fire oxen to break through the battle formation of the people in the Western Regions, but he didn't dare to say this, because cattle should not be killed indiscriminately, with the behavior of those officials in the Great Chu court...... Well, with the behavior of those officials of Da Chu, they will definitely participate, and they don't care if you win the battle or not......"

"Originally, Emperor Chu had a lot of suspicions when he led the troops, even if he won the battle, Emperor Chu could only be more suspicious, Xu Emperor was too stupid, what he didn't know was that the more he won, the more Emperor Chu couldn't tolerate him, if he resigned from all military positions immediately after returning from the Western Regions, listen to my words and find a place to hide and live the life of a rich man, and he can die a good death."

Mr. Li let out a sigh and shook his head: "It's a pity...... He always had illusions about His Majesty the Emperor, and always felt that he would not die a good death if he was loyal to Da Chu, and after he came back from the Western Regions, I kindly wanted to teach him to raise pigs, but he refused to learn. ”

Mr. Li looked at Li Diudiu and asked seriously, "Do you want to learn to raise pigs?" ”

Li Didiu shook his head: "Students don't want to ...... either"

Mr. Li said: "Actually, raising pigs is fun. ”

Li Diudiu: "......"

As if he remembered something, Mr. Li opened the drawer, took out a booklet from it, handed it to Li Didiu, and said, "This is the method I wrote on how to raise pigs, you can take it, in case you need it in the future." ”

Li Didiuu took the book out of politeness, this book seems to have been some years old, the paper has been yellowed, there is a line of handwritten words on the cover, the font is neat, square.

"Precautions on Scientific Pig Breeding"

Li Didiuu asked: "Sir, what do you mean by the word science?" ”

Mr. Li seemed to be too lazy to explain, reached out and took the booklet, picked up the pen and crossed out the two words science on the cover, thought about it, and wrote the two words reasonable on the crossed-out place.

Li Diudiu couldn't say anything for a while, thinking that it would be better to pat a sycophant, and he didn't wear a sycophant, so he said: "Mr. is erudite." ”

"I'm not erudite, I'm just ......"

Mr. Li glanced at Li Diudiu, and suddenly smiled: "I just learned differently from you." ”

He looked at Li Diudiu and asked, "Your ambition is to lead the army from the army?" ”

"Hmm!"

Li Didiu nodded vigorously: "Xiahou is going to join the army, and the student thinks that I will probably go to the army as well." ”

"Xiahou Zhuo?"

Mr. Li sighed: "Actually, my favorite in this academy is Xiahou Zhuo, but unfortunately, he refused to take the initiative to come to me, a very energetic academy disciple, and I had about the same virtue as I did at the beginning." ”

Li Didiu felt that Mr. Li was really a weirdo, a erudite and admirable eccentric, but this character was indeed a little out of the ordinary.

The book that Mr. Li showed him before was the art of war, and there were also words on the cover, which should have been four words, but the two words in front of him were also crossed out a few times, and only two words remained.

The Art of Fork and Fork War.

Li Didiu asked, "Sir, what are the two words crossed out?" ”

Mr. Li glanced at it casually and said indifferently, "Whatever." ”

"The art of war?"

Li Didiu felt that this name was indeed very casual, but his mind suddenly lit up, and then this light illuminated his entire mind.

"Whatever?"

Li Dididiu muttered to himself: "Casually, Mr. Great Philosophy, the two words can be explained as moving with the form, adapting to the situation, or it can be interpreted as not being alarmed by changes and responding to all changes, and it can also be interpreted as soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth...... Sir, these two words have a deep meaning. ”

Mr. Li looked at Li Diudiu like a monster, he opened his mouth, and finally sighed and said, "You can ...... I didn't think about it that much anyway. ”

Li Diudiu and Mr. Li got along with each other in Shulin Building for a whole day, and what he learned from Mr. Li was impossible for him to learn from anyone before.

The two of them talked about ancient and modern exchanges from astronomy and geography, from the art of war to the governance of people's livelihood, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, Mr. Li seemed to have not said so much for a long, long time, so he was also a little excited.

"Sir."

Li Diudiu lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. is so talented, why don't you take advantage of it?" If the gentleman is willing, he can always turn the tide. ”

Mr. Li said, "I don't want to. ”

Li Diudiu was stunned: "Why? ”

Mr. Li said, "I don't want to die...... The only goal I have pursued for so many years is not to want to die, in order not to want to die a person I don't like to learn so much, and now I have mastered hundreds of skills to survive, why should I go to death by myself? ”

He looked at Li Diudiu and said, "If you want to overthrow this rotten court, you go yourself." ”

He paused and said in a deep voice, "For me, I'm just a passer-by in Shanghai. ”

Li Diudiu was stunned: "Sir, what is Shanghai Tang?" ”

Mr. Li smiled: "It's okay, you go back, I'm tired today and want to rest early, help me close the door when I go out, I want to sleep well." ”

He pointed to a large box that had just been brought out of the back room: "Take that one away, it's a chance I've given you, little one...... Thank you, I had a great time chatting today. ”

Li Didiu didn't dare to bother anymore, and hurriedly leaned over to thank him, and then moved the big box, this box was very heavy, and he didn't know what it was, and he didn't want to open it now, thinking that it should be all books, and then return it to Mr. Li after reading it, you can't ask for so many things for nothing.

After Li Diudiu returned to his residence, he couldn't wait to open the box, there were indeed many books inside, but what shocked Li Diudiu even more was the finely drawn drawings one by one.

Among them, there are the drawings of the repeater crossbow that Mr. Li has personally transformed, there are the manufacturing drawings of other weapons, and the drawings of some large-scale siege equipment, these things are absolutely contraband for the imperial court, once they are found, it will be a catastrophe, but Li Diudiu is not afraid, but like a treasure.

He found that there were a few thick books under the drawings, and took a look at them, there was already some dust on them, he blew and picked up the top book and opened it, there was no word on the cover, and after opening it, he saw that there was a line of horizontal writing on the first page, which did not match the writing habits of Da Chu, and the Chu people were used to writing vertically, from right to left.

There are only nine words in this line, but Li Didiu looked at these nine words and felt as if something had been knocked in his heart, those nine words seemed to be a kind of free and easy confidence at first glance, and when he looked at it again, he was full of loneliness and fear, more like a sentence to comfort himself.

Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid?

Li Didiu's deepest feeling after seeing these nine words was that a young man walked alone in a completely unfamiliar place, holding a thin bamboo that had just been broken as a weapon in his hand, and comforting himself as he walked...... I can do it, I'm not afraid.

However, I am really afraid, and I am at a loss, all the sustenance is a bamboo cane in my hand, and all the reliance is a pair of shoes under my feet.

At that moment, I don't know why, Li Diudiu's heart hurts, it is a kind of empathy that cannot be explained.

He let out a long breath, and suddenly his mood became lonely.

After a long time, Li Diudiu turned the second page, and after reading it carefully, he found that this was a travelogue, although it was written in detail, but from the perspective of penmanship, it should be a memory made after a long time.

This person is the one at the time of one thing, and the other side at the time of the first life.

Even if it is you who remembers yourself, the feeling you remember and the self who experienced those times are no longer the same person.

Li Didiu sat in the room and looked at this travelogue and indulged in it, time slipped away quietly around him, but he didn't notice it at all, and when he felt sleepy, he found that it was already dark outside, and he forgot when he lit the lamp.

Li Didiuu was a little reluctant to close this travelogue, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and his mind was full of the things, places, and people in Mr. Li's travelogue.

I don't know why, but he suddenly sat up again, and the ghost turned the last page of the travelogue to the last page, and the last page and the first page were all one sentence.

The world kisses me with pain, and I repay it with a song.

Li Diudi's eyes widened violently, and all he thought about was ...... Mr. Li, what exactly have you lost?

He seems to be so nervous, he seems to be so free, but he must have lost the most important person.

He was in pain.

Early the next morning, Li Diudiu ran to Shulin Building again, shouted several times outside Shulin Building and no one paid attention, he really couldn't wait to push the door in, there was no more Mr. Li in Shulin Building.

There was a piece of paper on Mr. Li's desk, Li Didiu picked up the paper, the words on the paper were left to him by Mr. Li, Li Didiu looked at it, and his hand holding the paper began to tremble slightly.

It's only ten words, though.

Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost.

Mr. Li left quietly, just like a wind that Li Diudiu passed through in his life, suddenly appeared, suddenly disappeared, as if he had never come, and it seemed that every gust of wind for the rest of his life was him.
