Huaiyang.

Xiangcheng.

The ancient Chen State, said to be the capital of Taihao Fuxi and Shennong, Yu was ordered to seal the surname Yao in Chen, at the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Chen was one of the twelve major princely states of Zhou.

This is a land of Crouching Tiger.

In the private school of a powerful family in Xiangcheng, Huaiyang, Mr. Liu Zhiyuan, heard a news after class.

The emperor was attacked in Yanmen, and the Turkic Shibi Khan sent 300,000 troops to surround Yanmen, and even broke dozens of cities in Yanmen, and the emperor was in danger.

After hearing this news, Mr. Private School's heart, which had been silent for two years, seemed to surge again.

This evening.

He lay on the couch in the cramped bedroom in the private school, tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time.

He pondered bitterly.

Bitter questioning.

Is it that you will die of old age here in the second half of your life, and do you want to be incognito for the rest of your life and be a private school teacher here?

Feeling depressed, he couldn't help but get up and light the lamp, and wrote a five-character poem with a pen.

"The first festival of the golden phoenix, the jade dew withered the late forest; On this night, the poor people are empty and depressed.

Listen to a lot of feelings, generous and alone; What do you do? Feeling nostalgic.

Qin customs are still unsettled, and the Han Dao will be what Ji; Fan Hao is a disciple of the market, and Xiao He is a pen officer.

Once the fortune is combined, the famous instrument is passed down through the ages; Sending words to the world, it is really shameful to be born in vain. ”

After writing the poem, he rarely opened a jar of rice wine in the cabinet, drank alone until dawn, borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and finally fell asleep in pain and drunkenness.

After dawn, the students happened that Mr. did not come to class today.

Another private school teacher came over and saw him sleeping soundly, and there was a poem on the table in the corner of the room.

The old gentleman, who was over half a hundred years old, understood the poem at a glance. In all fairness, this poem is not a good poem, it is very easy to understand, and it is normal for a young private school teacher to make a poem of this level.

What is surprising is what this poem wants to express, the first four lines are written about dissatisfaction with the status quo and express a strong desire to make a contribution.

The last four sentences express their ambition to succeed.

Simple and popular, but very imposing.

Especially the sentence that is the best in the world, it is really shameful to be born in vain.

What does this mean?

The old gentleman immediately understood that this was an anti-poem.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the current court everywhere, this is an attempt to rebel.

This gentleman has been in this private school for many years, and in the past two years, the arrival of this young gentleman has always been very arrogant, especially when he does not take him into account as an old gentleman, and even because of his arrival, his position is in jeopardy.

The old gentleman looked at the black-faced gentleman who was still asleep on the bed, folded the poem, stuffed it into his sleeve, and then went out to tell the truth.

Fortunately, there were people in the official mansion who were relatives of the owner, and when they heard that there was a thief in the relative's house, they hurriedly notified him in advance.

The proprietor was not bad, and he didn't want the government to catch a thief from his home and cause him to be troubled, so he sent someone to inform the gentleman with good knowledge and hint that he should leave.

The young gentleman slipped away in embarrassment.

Although he was not caught, after escaping, he was even more lost.

Standing at the crossroads, he was even more confused, where am I going?

Came out in a hurry and didn't bring anything.

Penniless, unaccompanied, what should I do?

After much thought, he finally decided to go to a nearby relative.

He knew it was dangerous, but there was no way out.

I finally found a relative's house, and I didn't knock on the door until after dark, but when the other party saw him, his eyes were huge.

"Master? Didn't you say you're dead? ”

Li Mi said helplessly, "I've been hiding in Tibet for the past two years, and now I have nowhere to stay, I want to stay here for a few days, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

This relative is very close, he is the son-in-law of Li Mi's cousin, and he is also his cousin-in-law.

But at this time, this relative didn't even let Li Mi enter the door.

He was very embarrassed and said, "Whether you are a wanted fugitive now, or a major crime of rebellion, I can't take you in." ”

The door was shut.

Li Mi stood there stunned for a long time, this cousin-in-law, every time he came to visit his house, he had a humble attitude.

He reluctantly turned away.

After the meeting, my cousin caught up.

"Brother, you can't blame him, you committed such a big crime, and he was dismissed from the government and expelled from the people because of you, and now he can only stay at home, very depressed, brother, you don't blame us for being ruthless, now we are a family, both old and young, in case the government finds out and takes you in, and then we will be held accountable, and our whole family will be killed."

The cousin said as she handed him a bag with two sets of clothes and a few pieces of jewelry for a little money.

"You take this thing with you, there is a local man named Wang Xiucai, this person is chivalrous and courageous, but he loves to make friends, you might as well vote for him, as long as you don't reveal your identity, you should be fine, and Wang Xiucai is recruiting a son-in-law recently, maybe you can be his son-in-law."

My cousin felt that it was too easy to be exposed if she took Li Mi at home, but it was much less risky to vote for Wang Xiucai.

Hearing this, Li Mi also knew that his cousin's family was also benevolent.

After all, although he helped this cousin-in-law back then, he rebelled by himself, and it also affected the entire Li family, so it was good that they didn't go to the whistleblower to receive the reward, so he could only nod and leave with a wry smile.

With the clothes and coils sent by his cousin, he came all the way to Wang Xiucai's house.

Wang Xiucai's surname is Wang Xiucai, not a scholar, but he used to be a ranger, and now he is a more famous local landlord and good man, he is good at making friends, chivalrous and courageous, good and generous, just a handful of years, two sons have died in battle, and the youngest son died of illness, and there is only one only daughter left in the family.

Wang Xiucai was old and wanted to open it, so he wanted to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family business.

When Li Mi came, he actually didn't have much hope, after all, his cousin didn't take him in.

But he was really desperate.

After coming, he found out that this Wang Xiucai was really a strange person.

He was a ranger when he was younger, and it was better to help others.

He also used to be a government soldier, but later quit the military government due to injury, went home to inherit the family business, and became a landlord Haoqiang.

Li Mi hit him off at first sight, and the two talked very much.

Wang Xiucai is bold and generous, and Li Mi is knowledgeable, and the two talked about the world, the past and the present, and chatted all day.

Li Mi finally made a decision, he told Wang Xiucai his identity, he was Li Mi, who had helped Yang Xuangan raise troops, and he said this just because he didn't want to live up to Wang Xiucai's trust in him.

I was going to leave after I finished speaking, but who would have expected that Wang Xiucai actually made a decision after hearing it.

He wants to marry his daughter to Li Mi.

"You trust me, and I appreciate you. No matter what happened in the past, as long as you are willing to stay, then you can live here with peace of mind. Wang Xiucai said.

Li Mi was so moved, that the heart that was stirring again couldn't help but fall silent again.

He decided to stay, changed his name to Liu Xuan, and then lived an ordinary life with Wang Xiucai's daughter.

It's just that such days didn't last long, and on the second day of the wedding, Li Mi went to the city to buy things and came back, but there were earth-shattering changes at home.

Wang Xiucai and his wife were arrested.

His cousin-in-law's neighbor secretly reported to the government, so Wang Xiucai and his daughter were arrested, and Li Mi escaped because he happened to be a foreign student, but after Wang Xiucai and his daughter were arrested, they were immediately executed for harboring traitors.

Li Mi hid in the crowd and saw Wang Xiucai and his wife beheaded in public. His cousin-in-law and his cousin's family were also beheaded.

Seeing them being killed one by one, Li Mi's heart was like a knife, and his originally silent heart beat again, and it was extremely violent.

Wiping away his tears, Li Mi went north, he no longer planned to hide in Tibet, he wanted to rise up and resist, he wanted to bury this evil Sui Dynasty with his own hands!

He wants to find the rebels, he wants to join them, he wants to avenge Wang Xiucai and his wife, no matter what the cost, he is determined to fight to the end.

"Heaven does not give birth to me Li Mi, the Central Plains is like a long night! Just let me Li Mi turn you upside down! ”
