The first song of "The Difficult Road" is about Li Bai from the later Tang Dynasty actively entering the world and seeking a wise ruler. However, after two years of residence in Chang'an, he was slandered and excluded by powerful ministers. When he was forced out of the capital by Emperor Xuanzong's "give gold to return" and forced out of the capital, he felt the difficulty of his career at the banquet planned for him by his friend and wrote this article "The Difficult Road" with indignation.

The origin of the seven-character poems in the Tang Dynasty came from the Chu song style. For example, the familiar "strength spreads the mountains and the air is vast" and "the wind blows and the clouds fly", are both seven-character poems of the Chu song style, and nowadays, seven-character poems such as the seven-character inscription style have been developed.

What Yan Xing originally wanted to use this song "The Road is Difficult" to express his ambitions, which is generous and more powerful. Although there is a rhythmic dissonance, he is broad-minded and open-minded. Combined with his masculine and rapid sword technique, he has a faint sound of a battle formation with golden swords and iron horses.

When Yan Xing finished dancing his sword and put it in the sheath, the whole house was already in a state of tranquility. Liu Qiao's mouth was a little wide open, and the people at that time were so generous and generous, and the Han family's character tended to be open-minded and grand, with a far-reaching spirit. He was obviously surprised by Yan Xing's song "The Difficulty in Walking".

Yan Xing originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity of harmony between poetry and Xi Zhicai to directly explain his purpose and recruit Xi Zhicai for his own use. However, when he was sitting back, Xi Zhicai was already snoring loudly and leaning on Liu Qiao drunk and fell asleep. When Liu Qiao put him carefully on the couch, he turned over and muttered:

"The wind and waves are long, and to help the sea, good wine is good, I can drink again..."

"Yan Jun, look at us, this?"

Liu Qiao did not dare to make any decisions without permission. He whispered to ask Yan Xing about his opinion. Yan Xing looked at the drunken and sleeping Xi Zhicai, thought for a while, and said:

"Well, I can talk to you for a long time today. Although I haven't had the best time, the future is long. Anyway, I'm going to want to send a car to invite you to go out of the city to climb high and enjoy the beauty of the Songshan Mountains. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow!"

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai was already drunk and the two were about to leave. Yan Xing cleaned up his clothes and then went out to the yard outside the house with Liu Qiao, who was drunk, tears and snot, who seemed a little embarrassed.

Xi's wife just heard the three of them singing and singing in the room in the yard. This was also a common state for Xi Zhicai and her friends to drink and play at home. However, when Yan Xing finally drew his sword and danced and chanted "The Road is Difficult", Xi's wife in the yard was also surprised by this grand momentum. She immediately realized that this burly young man who came with Liu Qiao was not an ordinary businessman, but she was cautious by nature and suppressed her curiosity and did not go into the house to observe.

Now that she saw Yan Xing and Liu Qiao coming out one after another, Xi's wife knew that it must be Xi Zhicai again. She quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, approached with dignity and generously, and bowed to Yan Xing and Liu Qiao. Yan Xing and Liu Qiao also quickly returned the gift, explaining to her that Xi Zhicai had fallen asleep drunk and fell asleep, and that they would leave first. They would invite Xi Zhicai again to go out of the city to climb up to see the scenery together, and asked Xi's wife to take good care of Xi Zhicai. After he woke up, he would tell him the appointment tomorrow again.

The wife of opera looked kind and calm, and smiled and responded to the two of them, and personally sent them out the door, before saying goodbye to each other.

···

When Xi's wife returned to the room, she saw Xi Zhicai who was snoring like thunder and the mess inside. She frowned slightly and walked to the edge of the couch with light steps. She looked at the intoxicated Central Xi Zhicai. Perhaps because she had drunk a lot of wine, Xi Zhicai's face was not as thin and yellow as before, but instead became a little white and red. Xi's wife couldn't help but smile, turned around and took a quilt, carefully covered it on Xi Zhicai's body, and then took a headrest and slowly placed it under Xi Zhicai's head.

After serving Xi Zhicai, his wife turned around and wanted to clean up the chaos in the house. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, her hands had stretched out from the quilt and hugged her from behind. Then, a slightly hot body with alcohol smelled close to her.

"The ambition is unscrupulous, and it makes the good wife worry again."

The wife of Xi stopped turning around, feeling the body temperature behind her. She knew that Xi Zhicai was just pretending to be drunk. In fact, Xi Zhicai rarely got drunk. She drank with his friends many times, but in the end she got drunk, but Xi Zhicai was all pretending to be drunk. In his own words, this kind of half-drunk and half-awake is the upper level of the drunkard.

"You are usually thin, but you are addicted to alcohol and drink so much every time. How can you not worry me?"

Xi Zhicai smiled behind his back and said:

"Fine wine can be both intoxicating and courageous. If I don't drink a few more buckets, how can I dare to stroke the tiger's beard?"

Xi’s wife is also a smart person. When she heard Xi Zhicai’s words, she couldn’t help but ask curiously:

"Does the Yan Jun, husband, think he is not like a kind person?"

"The man spoke Liangzhou accent, and he had a murderous aura on the battlefield, but he was also restrained. If I expected it, he must be a person like the Lieutenant General of the Xiliang Army who captured the city today. You have also heard about the actions of the Xiliang Army in the city outside the city. How could this person be an ordinary kind person if he is in it? But——"

"What's it?"

When he heard Xi Zhicai's guess, Xi's wife recalled the burly young man who had just said goodbye to him not long ago, and then looked at some small details of his behavior and movements. She really felt that he did not look like a merchant family that was very particular, but rather like a lieutenant general who was fighting in the army. When Xi Zhicai had some other words, Xi's wife couldn't help asking.

"But this man is broad-minded and open-minded. His words and deeds all have profound meanings, especially the poem he recited at the end was generous and grand, with profound intentions. But I have never heard of it. It is indeed a bit surprising that there are such extraordinary talents and heroes in this bitter and cold place in Liangzhou."

Thinking of the man singing generously, the poem he recited floated out of the yard. The wife was surprised by the rainbow-like momentum. She nodded in the same feeling and asked again:

"Since you see that this person is extraordinary, you will definitely test his intentions. He took Liu Jun hostage and treated you with humility and politeness. Could it be that he heard from Liu Jun that your talent and learning are about to come and recruit you?"

Xi's wife's guess was somewhat consistent with what Xi Zhicai thought. Xi Zhicai couldn't help but laugh, turned her wife around, reached out to scrape her pretty nose, then reached out to hug her, and smiled:

"My wife is smart and has the same meaning as what I think. Therefore, when I was drunk, I deliberately showed my talent and knowledge, but I also showed it to others as a drunken person, and then used the crazy words of the drunken person to test his purpose and demeanor!"

The wife of Xi reached out to film Xi Zhicai put her restless hands on her waist and continued to ask:

"What's the result? Since you don't want to show your true talents, I believe this person is not a wise master in your heart."

At this time, Xi Zhicai slowly withdrew his hand, his face was a little solemn, he shook his head, and said:

"This person is not only open-minded and has extraordinary temperament, but also has a much deeper mind than ordinary people. I first tested his identity and then pointed out his purpose, but he did not change his expression. Only when I spoke sarcastic words in the end did his face slightly change color. Although he tested some falsehoods and reality, whether he was a wise master is hard to say, it is hard to say!"

Xi Zhicai usually claims to be talented, but he is also poor in the world. Therefore, he often jokes with his wife that he is a hawk and falcon, restraining his wings to wait for the wise ruler. Xi's wife rarely shows a solemn look when she sees him today. She knows that he has other thoughts in his heart, but she doesn't ask him anymore, and instead cleans up the messy case on the couch.

Xi Zhicai watched his wife start to be busy again, and he pursed his lips. In fact, he had a layer of concern in his heart just now, and did not tell his wife clearly, that is, he tests that Yan Jun is quite tenacious, and is afraid that after Liu Zigao wanted to survive, Yan Jun had already set his sights on him, a talented poor man.

At present, Yangcheng is occupied by Xiliang soldiers. I am afraid that regardless of whether I agree with this Yan Jun as my wise ruler, that Yan Jun is a hurdle that I cannot avoid in front of me.

"If the Lord Yan still invites me to climb altitude and travel together tomorrow, I must have to prepare a cart and horse. You have some of the clothes you have sewn and washed, don't you want to return them to your employer outside the city? Then tomorrow is just right, and you can go out of the city with me with me. After you return the clothes, you can go to the east of the city first and wait for me in the small bamboo forest where you have digged bamboo shoots. I will arrive later!"

The wife of the opera could not help but pause when she cleaned up the case. Her weak shoulders trembled slightly for a few times, and she was silent for a while before she slowly asked:

"Will there be other dangers tomorrow-"

"There is no danger. It's just that I'm afraid that the Lord Yan wants to search for a thousand-mile horse, but I misjudged it as my stubborn donkey. If you plan everything and then move, you can keep your hands first, and you can avoid being troubled by a lot of trivial matters."

"good."

The movements in Xi's hands began again. Over the years, she and Xi Zhicai have been supporting each other and have become familiar with each other's personalities. Xi's wife never asks about some things, and Xi Zhicai never talks about them.

After seeing his wife agreeing, Xi Zhicai seemed to have no worries and became lazy. He raised his head and fell back on the couch, looking at the beams on his head, muttering to himself in his heart.
