Dressed in a linen coat, casually tied with a cloth bag around his waist, his face full of wrinkles, covered with the vicissitudes of time, and a pair of big hands with green muscles, at first glance, Li Zhi looks like the most ordinary old farmer in the countryside, and he can't see his true identity at all.

But this person is indeed the most respected person in the Qin State. In the Qin State, not only the two wealthy Deng clan and the Bian clan were behaving in front of him, but even the royal family was polite and concede three points, except for the emperor, the rest of the people were all juniors in front of Li Zhi, and they didn't dare to put a royal shelf in front of him.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the soldiers of the Qin State are also celebrating their first day of the new year. Different from other places, the New Year celebration of the Qin people is more rough, bold, no exquisite dishes, no cumbersome etiquette, dozens of people together, in a big circle, in the middle is a bonfire that burns vigorously, on the fire is the whole sheep and pigs that are burning loudly, everyone around the fire, singing loudly, dancing happily. When the pigs and sheep are roasted, the one with the highest status in this circle will hold a knife and cut off the fattest piece of meat on the pigs and sheep.

The wine that he can't drink at all is also distributed by one person today half a catty, which is a benefit that Qin Jun can only enjoy on major festivals. The Qin State is so poor that there are often food crises, and wine-making is an industry that only allows official brewing in the Qin State, and private wine-making, once caught, it is to cut off the brain, not for anything else, just for the lack of food. It is very difficult to fill the stomach with limited food, and naturally it is not allowed to use it to make wine and collapse.

Many soldiers of the Qin State are afraid that they have never smelled what wine is like from birth to growth.

The poor are the most satisfied, and a little wine and meat is enough to excite them for days.

Li Zhi drank a lot of wine today, even the senior generals of the Qin State are difficult to find the opportunity to drink with Li Zhi, naturally they will not let go of the opportunity to toast to their idols, and they also take the opportunity to ask Li Zhi some questions, Li Shuai is also famous for bringing his juniors, as long as you can ask valuable questions, you can always get pertinent and meaningful answers from him.

After drinking a circle of wine, Li Zhi and Deng Zhong left the carnival crowd and returned to the warm study, only at this time, Li Zhi clenched his fists and coughed gently.

"Li Shuai, your injuries are still not good to fall!" Deng Zhong frowned slightly, "You shouldn't drink so much wine." ”

Coughing, Li Zhi sat down by the brazier, rummaging through the fire, making the fire burn more vigorously, even if you are a handsome, they are not burning expensive smokeless charcoal, as he picked it up, strands of green smoke rose.

"The kindness of the soldiers cannot be disobeyed, we Daqin, except for a little bit of morale, there is nothing else." Li Zhi smiled and said, "This injury is not something that can be completely healed in a short period of time, but it is not as good as a moment." ”

"Li Shuai, is this injury fundamentally injured?" Deng Zhong was a little sad, the top masters of the major countries in the world, the State of Qi has Cao Chong, the State of Yue has Wei Zhuang, and the State of Chu has Wenhuizhang, they are Daqin, and they are naturally Li Zhi. And like Li Zhi, who is not only the top master, but also a military master, but there is no semicolon in the only one.

"Zuo Lixing's martial arts cultivation is only inferior to me, and if you kill him hard, you will naturally have to pay the corresponding price." Li Zhi said disappreliantly.

"It's really not worth it for the sake of a left-hand line." Deng Zhong said with annoyance.

"It's worth it. If it weren't for the defeat of the western border army of Chu and the robbery of their Anyang County, would we have been able to support the war against Vietnam in the past two years? Li Zhi smiled: "There are gains and losses." ”

"But you've been so badly injured for two years, and you haven't recovered yet."

"At our part, the face-to-face fight is already inferior." Li Zhi shook his head disappreciatively, "Wei Zhuang and Cao Chong met, and the two of them went hand in hand, not to kill you to the death, but to learn something more subtle." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi's face has always been unwavering, and there is also a hint of envy, the other three are all detached, they come and go, only him, but he has always been entangled by mundane things and can't be separated.

What is above the grandmaster is the ultimate pursuit of these people.

Deng Zhong personally brewed tea, filled Li Zhi with a cup of fragrant tea, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Today, I'm afraid everyone didn't expect that the first piece of meat you cut was actually given to a little-known little tooth general, but I am afraid that this piece of meat, that kid is absolutely reluctant to eat, and most of them have to go home to offer it." ”

"That's a shame." Li Zhi said with a smile: "Food is not easy, if you eat it in your stomach, you can have more oil and water, and you can grow your strength, where is it, maybe it will be cheaper for rats and maggots." ”

Deng Zhong laughed: "In my second boy's house, there is still a collection of the first meat you cut for him back then, and he invited the best pharmacist to keep it, and I see that it is still lifelike." ”

"That's your Deng family, this young man today, but he doesn't have the financial resources." Li Zhi shook his head and smiled: "Your family Deng Pu is really good, I met him in Yongdu this time, if I am not mistaken, he will be able to open that door within five years at most." ”

Speaking of Deng Pu, Deng Zhong's eyes narrowed with a smile, after the battle in the Luoying Mountains, the second son was seriously injured and depressed, but then by chance, because of the relationship with the Taiping Army, not only did he cure the dark injuries in his body, but he also lost his stubborn diseases, and his martial arts cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

If Deng Pu is promoted to the rank of grandmaster within five years, the status of the Deng family will inevitably rise, but the Bian family will be compared.

"This is thanks to Li Shuai's cultivation."

Li Zhi shook his head, "I have trained a lot of people, but whether or not it can become a climate depends on myself after all." Bian Wushuang's qualifications are better than Deng Pu's, but after all, he has been staying in the rich township, and he has not suffered anything since he was a child, although his qualifications are outstanding, and he is also extremely smart, but he is much worse than Deng Pu in terms of tenacity and will, and when it comes to their current cultivation, this is the most critical. ”

Deng Zhong smiled silently, the Deng family has been serving in the border army for generations, and the bitterness is a little hard, but there are no unscrupulous children, it is very simple, because the children of the Deng family who have no ability are basically dead on the battlefield, and those who can barely go back alive are also regarded as waste by the family, and they can barely get by with spare money.

"What about Qin Feng, what do you think of your second boy? At present, he is a man of the hour, in two years, he has built an army of tens of thousands of people, controlled the two counties of Yue, and the land is admirable, I only began to understand this person before I came, but the military's intelligence, most of them only describe his bravery on the battlefield, but from the performance of the Taiping Army now, this person is not only above the military, above politics, but also a character! Li Zhi changed the topic and talked about the current political situation in Vietnam.

"He has a deep hatred with Chu, but he has a coercion of Chu and self-respect, bargaining with the Qi country, and being able to navigate the gap between the two big countries, not only alive, but also living a nourishing life, he is now a figure that cannot be underestimated. I really didn't expect that among the western border troops that we wiped out, there was such a freak who survived, and for our Daqin border army, I don't know whether it was a curse or a blessing. ”

"Qin Feng is very difficult to entangle!" Deng Zhong nodded and said: "The second boy of my family is deeply afraid of this person, and once said to me that if we can't be friends with this person in time, we must find a way to kill him as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a problem for my Great Qin." ”

"Deng Pu looks very important." Li Zhi was a little surprised, in his heart, Deng Pu's vision was extremely high, and there were not many people who could make him admire and be alert.

"The second boy thinks that this person is full of weirdness." Deng Zhong said: "Just that his sudden martial arts cultivation crossed several levels and rushed directly to the ninth level was shocking, two years have passed, I am afraid that his martial arts cultivation has improved again." ”

"Strange indeed!" Li Zhi nodded. "I'm afraid we're going to have to deal with this guy in the next move. This person's purpose now seems to be very clear, that is, to replace Yue Guo, this person doesn't want to be a local boss, elite soldiers, strong government, one policy after another, people are dizzying, you have read the information of those policies he implemented in the area controlled by the Taiping Army, right? ”

"See. Measuring the fields and reforming the commercial tax, each of them can be said to touch the fundamental things of a dynasty, but he actually let him do it calmly, and the five people of Shayang actually honestly did not say a word, but it was indeed his ability. ”

"That's because this Qin Feng has made them see greater hope, hasn't Changyang County been taken by them now? Next, their goal is naturally to gain more territory in Vietnam. Li Zhi said.

"This person has to be guarded!" Deng Zhong nodded again and again.

The two of them who were talking suddenly fell silent, Deng Zhong showed a shocked look on his face, and Li Zhi was obviously a little unexpected, the two glanced at each other, Li Zhi said lightly: "At the beginning of the new year, there were guests who came to the door, why did they linger and not come to the door?" I didn't see any movement from Li Zhi, and the closed window creaked open. (To be continued.) )
