While secretly thinking about it, a sentence that the man had inadvertently leaked appeared in Dong He's mind: "This time I came from thousands of miles away to catch up with Ji Yu." ”

Dong He hadn't noticed the deep meaning of this sentence before, but in retrospect at the moment, it was a different feeling, which made him can't help but associate the identity of the handsome man with the Xiliang Army outside the city.

At this moment, isn't the Xiliang army besieging the state city rushing thousands of miles?

Thinking of these, combined with Li Li's handsome appearance and demeanor, an extremely familiar but unfamiliar name suddenly poured into Dong He's heart.

At the moment when Dong He guessed the answer, Li Li's casual voice sounded in the hall again: "After a long time, it is not easy to reunite old friends. This time, Li Mou came all the way, shouldn't Ji Yuxian's brother be a little bit of the friendship of the landlord? ”

"Uh, old friends reunited?" Liu Zhang, who was leaning on the seat and closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, was stunned when he heard the sound lingering in his ears, and then slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Li with drunken eyes.

Seeing that there was still a person sitting next to him, Liu Zhang's face changed sharply, and he said in a sullen voice: "Who are you, who dare to be on an equal footing with Benzhou?" Obviously, Liu Zhang, who was half-drunk and half-awake, did not recognize Li Li immediately, and only saw a sitting figure in a straight position in his drunken eyes, and did not see his appearance clearly.

Seeing Liu Zhang's cheeks flushed, his forehead flushed, and his pupils still bloodshot with drunkenness, Li Li shook his head lightly in disappointment, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen you for so many years, I don't know if I should call you Brother Ji Yuxian or Liu Yizhou?" Six years is not a long time, but it is not a short time. The former brother Ji Yuxian no longer recognizes my brother now, the world is cold and warm, and it should all be on you Liu Yizhou! ”

"Huh?" Liu Zhang was stunned when he heard this. The sound of déjà vu filled his ears, and familiar faces appeared in front of him, and suddenly Liu Zhang's half-open and half-closed hazy drunken eyes gradually became clear. Immediately, a familiar smiling face jumped into view, the sunny and confident smile, the look of authority without anger, the angular face, and the starry appearance of the sword eyebrows. A qiē is so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.

"Ahh You, you、、、 how do you ?????? Boom! The moment he saw this face, Liu Zhang's color changed in shock. His pupils dilated suddenly, his eyeballs bulged, he instinctively raised his right hand and pointed at Li Li tremblingly, and stammered speechless in panic. When he finally came up with a more coherent sentence. but he was overly frightened. The body instinctively flinched, so that it became unstable, slipped off the seat, and fell to the ground on its side.

With Li Li's skills, he could have reached out to hold Liu Zhang at the moment he fell sideways, but he didn't stretch out his hand, but watched Liu Zhang sit on the ground with his butt and grin. The corners of his mouth twitched in pain. Obviously, Li Li just wanted him to fall. In this way, you can sober up and save yourself the trouble of talking in a daze.

By this time, he had finished drinking a cup of tea here, but Liu Zhang hadn't recognized him yet. This is Li Li, he didn't plan to kill Liu Zhang; If he is replaced by other princes, as long as he has the opportunity to get close to Liu Zhang, he will definitely take his head as soon as possible. If Li Li really had this intention, Liu Zhang's head had already fallen to the ground at this moment, and his head was in a different place.

"Why are you here?" The moment he fell to the ground, Liu Zhang finally finished the words that were choking in his throat. However, after landing, he subconsciously lost his voice and shouted: "Come (people) ??????"

"If you don't hurt to fall, do you want to fall again?" Without waiting for Liu Zhang to call out to the armor outside the door, Li Li interjected, got up and grabbed his right shoulder, lifted him up, and put him on the seat.

"You have to sit tight this time, if you fall down again, no one will help you up again." While speaking, Li Li gently patted Liu Zhang's shoulder, then turned back and sat down, pushed the tea cup that had been poured before to his hand, and motioned for him to take a sip of tea first to clear his throat.

Not to mention, after Li Li pulled and pressed and patted his shoulder twice, Liu Zhang was completely awake, and the look of horror and panic on his face subsided, and he gradually calmed down. Although Liu Zhang's heart was still as shocked as a stormy wave, at least his expression tended to be normal, and he was no longer a talented wolf, so he forced himself to calm down, and made the reserve and dignity that the lord of a state should have.

This is because there are still many people in the hall at the moment, Zhang Song and Dong He are sitting in the hall, Wu Yi is standing behind the door, and there are four maids standing on both sides of the steps, and of course there are "uninvited guests" Li Li and Li Wenchang sitting next to him. For Liu Zhang, who has always been extremely face-heavy, no matter what kind of environment he is in, he can't ignore his face, even if he slaps a swollen face and fills a fat person, he must pretend to be fat, and he can't lose face and lose his dignity.

So Liu Zhang was very calm and calm at this time, his expression was as usual, and he was sitting upright, how could he look a little panicked. The only fly in the ointment was that his right hand holding the teacup was shaking incessantly, so that the tea in the cup spilled, and the back of his hand was full of tea, soaking the sleeves of his shirt.

"Don't hold it, there are no outsiders here, who are you carrying the shelf?" Seeing Liu Zhang's pretending to be calm, Li Li couldn't help but laugh.

Then he beckoned the maid to come forward and wipe off the tea stains on Liu Zhang's hands, pour a cup of tea again, and send it to Liu Zhang's hands, and said with a smile: "Drink saliva, suppress the shock." After so many years, you still haven't changed at all, and you have to die to save face. In front of me, you don't have to live so tired, just feel free, as long as you feel comfortable, you don't need to deliberately restrain yourself. In this world, no one will be respected because you are well-mannered, nor will you be awe-inspiring because you are well-behaved and gentle, and the only thing that can really make most people awe is your own strength. This is Li Li's heartfelt words, but it is a different feeling in Liu Zhang's ears, and a feeling of being ridiculed arises spontaneously.

But seeing that Liu Zhang's cheeks suddenly turned red, a gloomy color that could not be concealed appeared, his head was lowered, and his eyes flashed with annoyance and anger. How could he be forced to sit beside Li Li, so that he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so he had to swallow this anger alive, pretend to be calm, and force himself to be happy and angry.

After a little silence, Liu Zhang picked up the teacup again and drank most of the tea that had been slightly cooled, and calmed himself down with herbal tea. Slowly putting down the teacup, he slowly raised his head, looked at Li Li with a smile on his face, and said calmly: "I don't know when my brother came to Chengdu, why don't you say a word in advance, so that the younger brother can prepare as soon as possible and make a little bit of the friendship of the landlord?" This is a typical perfunctory excuse, avoiding the important and trivializing the serious, in order to hide the panic in his heart. However, Liu Zhang's "brother" said very smoothly, and it seemed that it had formed a habit and become an inherent title.

But in fact, Liu Zhang is much older than Li Li, with a difference of ten years between them, almost two generations of age difference; Just like the age gap between Li Li and his uncle Li Dao, Li Dao is thirteen years older than him. It is a bit unreasonable and nondescript to the title between Liu Zhang and Li Li, but this title was proposed by Liu Zhang, claiming that "no formality, the best is the first", thus establishing the friendship between them as brothers and brothers.

Speaking of which, this happened seven years ago. At that time, the three Liu Zhang brothers were all hostages in Chang'an, and their brothers Liu Fan and Liu Dan were the two of them in the imperial history at that time, and they were quite active, and they had close contacts with the old ministers of the court, waiting for opportunities to create chaos, deliberately provoking the contradictions between the hundred officials of the court and Li Dao and Li Li's uncles and nephews, trying to assist the Han Emperor Liu Xie to regain military and political power, Kuang Fu Chaogang, and Zhongxing the Han Dynasty. At that time, Liu Zhang, who was the speaker of the Lang, lingered in the fireworks and willow alleys all day long, greedy for wine, fond of poetry and painting, and drew a clear line with Liu Fan and Liu Dan.

Once, Li Li went to the Qinglou in disguise and happened to meet Liu Zhang, who was also drunk and slightly drunk like tonight, and talked to Li Li in a daze. didn't admit it, the two talked speculatively, and talked very happily, especially when it came to Fengyue, they smelled like each other, and they felt like they were old at first sight. When he woke up the next day, Liu Zhang knew that it was Li Li, the general of Wei who was in charge of the military power of Xiliang and the bull's ear in the world, who talked about Fengyue and told him about the affair last night. So Liu Zhang weighed it again and again, and finally decided to climb the big tree of Li Li, even if he couldn't get tangible benefits, at least he could save his life.

In this way, Liu Zhang asked to see Li Li with a heavy gift, his words were humble, his bending was pandering, and he became a friend with Li Li. Since then, Liu Zhang has often gone to General Wei's Mansion to "visit the door and get closer", and he walks around very frequently; Over time, his friendship with Li Li became deeper and deeper, and then he climbed up the pole, respectfully called Li Li a brother, and privately called Li Li a brother and a brother. This friendship lasted for more than a year, and the time when he really won Li Li's approval was three months before leaving Chang'an. During those three months, Li Li often drank with him, danced and painted together, during which Li Li promised him that he would soon escort him to Yizhou and inherit the position of Yizhou pastor.

Sure enough, Li Li did not break his promise, did what he said, and fulfilled his promise three months later. Before secretly traveling to the Central Plains, Li Li ordered someone to escort him to Yizhou and help him sit on the position of Yizhou pastor, and then Li Li returned from his travels and beheaded Liu Fan and Liu Dan in public in front of the Changle Palace. Since then, all the obstacles to Liu Zhang's ascension to the position of Yizhou pastor have been completely cleared, making him the only candidate to inherit the Yizhou pastor, and invisibly helping him to sit firmly in the position of Yizhou pastor and withdraw the nine counties of Yizhou.

Time flies, time flies, youth is fleeting, and six years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Liu Zhang, who was in the prime of his life, has now entered middle age, and Li Li has also matured from the age of vigor and scolding Fang Xuan, and has become a general who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, occupying half of the country in a few years, holding nearly one million male soldiers, becoming a powerful prince and the undisputed first overlord of the world.
