The pouring rain never stopped for half a moment, and the thin Wang Changling walked out of Cui's Mansion like a chicken in soup, and then he realized that there was no place to go, because Chang'an City, which was controlled by the market, would be closed after the curfew, and he couldn't even get out of Kangyangfang. Go to a brothel to find a step? He was very reluctant to see a woman when he was down, unless that woman was his own mother, but unfortunately his mother had passed away.

This is when the sorrow under the fence is manifested.

At this moment, I saw a four-horse carriage slowly coming in the torrential rain, surrounded by four strong men on horseback to protect the right, those who rode horses seemed to be not afraid of the rain at all, and walked calmly in the rain.

It's the middle of the night, who's still walking around the streets? Wang Changling stood by the wall, silently watching the carriage, wanting to wait for it to pass before leaving. Unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly stopped in front of him, as if it had been stopped for the inconspicuous thin young man standing in the corner.

An oil umbrella was stretched out in the carriage first, and it was opened with a "pop", and then a tall man wearing leather boots and purple flowers slowly got out of the car, the umbrella covered his head, and the light was very dim and he couldn't see his face.

"Boom!" The sky flashed, a big carriage, four big men on horseback, and a tall man holding an oil umbrella, such a scene was really weird to the extreme.

The purple-robed man walked straight in front of Wang Changling, propped up the umbrella on top of his head and said, "Uncle Wang? Your bones don't look very strong, is it okay to be drenched like this? ”

Wang Changling looked at the stranger in front of him in amazement, and now that the two of them are holding an umbrella together, they can already see his appearance clearly, with a dark face, but there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. Wang Changling said: "Your Excellency is ......"

"Xue Chongxun, King of Hedong, have you heard of it?" Xue Chongxun said with a smile.

Wang Changling was very surprised, why did this county king run in the rain in the middle of the night? But after all, he is a person who has seen the official face, and when he looks at Xue Chongxun's outfit and the surrounding carriage pomp, I am afraid that most of them can't be faked, and besides, he Wang Changling is a weak scholar, he has no money and no enemies, what are people deceiving him? Wang Changling calmly clenched his fists and said: "It's like thunder." ”

Xue Chongxun glanced up at the night sky covered with heavy rain, as if he wanted to hear thunder, he smiled: "Like thunder? Haha, so am I...... Now that you know who I am, come with me. ”

Wang Changling was stunned: "......"

Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment and said: "Relying on friends outside, we are friends when we meet, and it is reasonable for me to find a place to stay on this rainy night." ”

Wang Changling pondered: "The king of the county is so loving, it is better to obey his fate than to be respectful." ”

"Haha......" Xue Chongxun said with a hearty smile, "The poet is really temperamental, not pretentious at all, refreshing." With that, he took Wang Changling into the spacious carriage. The carriage was well-made, and even though it was pouring rain outside, there was no water leaking inside, and a warm and dry feeling came upon you at once.

Xue Chongxun took off his robe and put it on Wang Changling's shoulder and said, "Let's do this first, don't catch a cold, and then change it when I go back...... Walk! ”

The four carriages walked very steadily, of course, relatively speaking, because they did not have an anti-shock system, so naturally there were some bumps, and the lanterns hanging on the side of the carriage swayed non-stop.

Wang Changling's hand was placed on the freshly draped Tuanhua Ayaluo, and he looked at Xue Chongxun with a puzzled look and frowned: "You and I don't know each other, why is the king of the county like this?" ”

"Don't you know each other now? I have heard of Mr. Wang's name, if you are willing to vote for me, I will not be able to treat you badly; If everyone has their own aspirations, I won't force them to stay, so you don't have to worry about anything. Xue Chongxun said calmly.

"Daimyo?" Wang Changling looked a little puzzled. Xue Chongxun realized that he was a little excited for a while and lost his words, what is Wang Changling's reputation at this time?

Wang Changling groaned: "Speaking of shame, I was originally against the king of the county for the sake of Duke Cui's plan, but now I want to receive your favor, I am really ashamed." ”

Xue Chongxun said: "There is no need to say anything, each is just its own master, I can understand." It's only to blame Cui Ri for his limited vision and ignorance of talents, and he doesn't know that thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general. ”

Wang Changling said: "Cui Gong treats me politely and well, but blames me for being young and reckless and ignorant of human feelings. ”

Xue Chongxun looked at him with a smile, as if he wanted to say that he was very good to you, so why did he drive you out in the middle of the night? But he just nodded with satisfaction: "I heard that you came up with an idea to ask him to take the initiative to go to His Highness to ask for sin?" ”

"The usual sparse carving insect skills are not enough to worry about."

Xue Chongxun sighed: "Da Yin Xisheng, it seems ordinary!" ”

Such a sentence made Wang Changling a little surprised: Could it be that the king of the county has come out with the connotation? It is rumored that Lord Xue is the master of mischief, and he is a complete gentleman...... But now that I saw it with my own eyes and said two words, my impression on Wang Changling was completely different from the rumors.

In that matter, Cui Ri used the idea to ask him to ask for guilt, from the ordinary story of the source of inspiration "Lian Po Lin Xiangru Biography" to the simplicity of the operation, it is indeed all ordinary and sparse...... But the courage and strategy contained in it, and the depth involved, are by no means ordinary!

It is a major event related to the life and death of 100 people in Cuimen, if it fails, a bunch of heads will fall to the ground, and even if you apologize for your crimes with death, you may not be worthy of others. Not everyone has the courage to take responsibility, and he dares to assert it, which is courage in itself; It is not enough to have courage, you have to analyze the possibility of success, which has involved the height of the national policy, and people who have no vision in this era cannot see so deeply.

So if you want to say that it is sparse and ordinary, there are really few people who can be so sparse and ordinary.

Wang Changling is a literati, and when he heard Xue Chongxun's words and understood his thoughts, he naturally felt a sense of closeness. Bosom friends, it's hard to find, just like when Bo Yazi was in the past.

At this time, I heard Xue Chongxun say: "Erlang can't send people under the fence......"

Wang Changling was silent, but he didn't expect the county king to talk about his heart again. It's really strange between people, some people you have known him for a few years or more than ten years and still can't talk together; Some people are very speculative when they first get to know each other. Wang Changling thinks so, he actually has a concept of treating money and luxury life as dung, but he wants to have a place of his own and a livelihood of his own, aren't these all related to money and mundane things?

The carriage is rampant on the ground of Chang'an, and what kind of gate control has no effect on him, even if the official who guards the door sleeps in the bed, you have to get up for Lao Tzu to open the door early. After a while, they entered Anyi Fang, which was the ground where Xue's Mansion was located.

After entering North Street, Xue Chongxun picked up the curtain and pointed to a courtyard and said, "How is this house?" ”

Wang Changling only wanted to gossip, so he said casually: "There are many officials and eunuchs here, and the mansions everywhere are naturally not bad. ”

"That's it." Xue Chongxun knocked on the carriage and said, "Go and ask which industry it is, tell them to move out, and get out of the car within a limited time." ”

Wang Changling was stunned and paused.

Xue Chongxun smiled: "I won't invite you to live in the house, otherwise you won't go from one roof to another?" This house is for you, it belongs to you, what you want to change, what you want to destroy, what you add, it's all up to you, it can give you dignity. ”

Wang Changling hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "I have received the heart of the county king, but it is useless, and I must not accept such a gift." ”

"As long as you come to my account to work, how much money is worth it, what is a house? As part of the offer, you can accept it calmly. Xue Chongxun said very seriously, "Of course I don't force it, if you look down on someone Xue and don't want to be with me, you can stay in an inn for one night, and Ming'er will move out." ”

Wang Changling saw that he was serious, not like a joke, so he said: "I still need to think carefully about the invitation of the county king, how about I reply to you tomorrow?" I just find a place to shelter from the rain tonight, I don't pay attention to it, and I don't want the innocent officials and people of good families to be implicated...... The first advice I give you: Authority is the authority of the people of the world, although it is in the hands of a certain person and a certain party (Taiping henchmen), but the person in charge of the country should not only seek benefits for a certain person or a certain party, but should benefit the people and all sentient beings, which is the way to long-term peace and stability. ”

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "If your advice is followed by a practical and concrete strategy, its value is far more than a house. You can rest assured, I will pay for the house, and I will not take it by force...... Yu Zhong asked Xue Liu to calculate the property inside to a higher place, and add two percent more to the total price to compensate for the loss of the owner's relocation on a rainy night. Tell them to pack up and don't bring anything else, and the slaves and maids will stay to serve Mr. Wang. ”

The outside responded, and immediately went to do something, where does it matter if Wang Changling agrees or not. Wang Changling was dumbfounded, although he felt incredible, but he also had a flattered appearance, it was just human nature, and Wang Changling was not a person.

Xue Chongxun looked at him and said, "As long as you have ambition and talent, you can work with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about other small things." ”

Wang Changling frowned and said: "The last school is afraid, I am afraid that I will fail the expectations of the county king." ”

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "As soon as I heard that the person who gave me the mix was called Wang Changling, I asked people to learn more about the information. ”

"Since the county king knows that I can't get along with you, he still treats me like this, and his mind is admirable."

Xue Chongxun smiled: "I'm not so tolerant of everyone. ”

Wang Changling still didn't agree to Xue Chongxun's invitation immediately, but Xue Chongxun knew that he couldn't escape from the palm of his hand, and it was a matter of time...... And the more cautious Wang Changling was, the more satisfied Xue Chongxun was with him. You must know that people who value honor and honor will not be lightly committed to other people's accounts, but once they are accepted, they are a more reliable strategist.

Xue Chongxun is lacking a person to give advice, although people who write poetry well do not necessarily have good means. In history, Li Bai is an example, he has been by the emperor's side and has also been a warlord's staff, and he has never shown any useful tricks...... However, the proportion of literate people in this era is not much, and talented people are not too bad, and Wang Changling's plan not long ago has confirmed that he has goods in his stomach at a young age.
