Chapter 160 [To youth, keep your word]

————————————

While thinking about it, a sentence that the man accidentally revealed came to Dong He's mind: "This time I came from thousands of miles to reminisce about the past with Ji Yu."

Dong He had not noticed the profound meaning of this sentence before, but when he recalled it, he felt a different feeling, which made him unable to help but associate the identity of the handsome man with the Xiliang army outside the city.

Didn’t the Xiliang army besieging Zhoucheng besieged thousands of miles?

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

Just as Dong He guessed the answer, Li Li's careless voice sounded again in the hall: "After separation for many years, it is very difficult to meet old friends again. This time, Li came from afar, shouldn't Ji Yu have a complete friendship with the landlord?"

"Uh, old friends reunite?" Liu Zhang, who was leaning on the seat and closing his eyes to sleep, responded in surprise after hearing the sound lingering in his ears. Then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Li in a drunken way.

Seeing that there was still someone sitting beside him, Liu Zhang's face suddenly changed and he shouted in anger: "Who are you? How dare you be on an equal footing with this province?" Obviously, Liu Zhang, who was half drunk and half awake, did not recognize Li Li at the first time. He only saw a tall figure sitting in a daze in his drunken eyes, and did not see his appearance clearly.

Seeing Liu Zhang's cheeks flushed, his forehead flushed, and his eyes were covered with drunken blood, Li Li shook his head in disappointment and said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen you for so many years, I don't know whether to call you Brother Ji Yu or Liu Yizhou? Six years are not long, nor are you short. Brother Ji Yu, who used to be, can no longer recognize me, now, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, all of them should be on you Liu Yizhou!"

"Huh?" Liu Zhang was stunned when he heard the sound. A familiar voice filled his ears, and a familiar face appeared in front of him. Suddenly, Liu Zhang's half-open and half-closed hazy drunk eyes gradually became clear. Then a familiar smile jumped into his eyes, the sunny and confident smile, the expression of a powerful without anger, the angular face, the sword-brow star's appearance. Everything is so familiar, but so strange.

"Ah! You, you,, why are you banging?" After seeing this face clearly, Liu Zhang's expression changed in horror. His pupils suddenly dilated, his eyes suddenly burst, and he instinctively raised his right hand and pointed at Li Li tremblingly, and he couldn't speak in panic. When he finally said a relatively coherent word, he was over-the-top. His body instinctively retreated, causing his body to be unstable, and he slid down from the seat and fell to the ground.

With Li Li's skills, he could reach out to pull him away the moment Liu Zhang fell sideways, but he did not reach out, but watched Liu Zhang sit on the ground with his butt, grinning with his teeth. The corners of his mouth were twitching in pain. Obviously, Li Li wanted to let him fall to sober up and avoid the trouble of talking in a daze.

Up to this time, he had been sitting here and drinking a cup of tea, but Liu Zhang had not recognized him yet. This is Li Li, who had no intention of killing Liu Zhang; if it were other princes, as long as they had the opportunity to approach Liu Zhang, they would definitely take his head as soon as possible. If Li Li really had this intention, Liu Zhang would have already fallen to the ground and his head would be different.

"Why are you here?" The moment he fell to the ground, Liu Zhang finally choked in his throat and said everything. However, after landing, he subconsciously cried out: "Come (person)"

"It hurts so much, I want to fall again?" Before Liu Zhang could call the soldiers outside the door, Li Li interrupted, then stood up and grabbed his right shoulder and lifted him up, and placed it on the seat.

"I have to sit firmly this time. If I fall down again, no one will help you up again." As he spoke, Li Li gently patted Liu Zhang's shoulder, then turned back and sat down, pushed the teacup he had poured before to his hand, and signaled him to drink tea and clear his throat first.

It's true that after Li Li pulled and pressed it, and patted his shoulder twice, Liu Zhang was completely awake, and the horror and fear on his face faded away, gradually calming down. Although Liu Zhang was still shocked like a storm, at least his expression became normal, no longer as embarrassed as before, he forced himself to calm down and give the reserve and dignity that the lord of a state should have.

This is because there are still many people in the hall at this moment. Zhang Song and Dong He were sitting in the hall, Wu Yi was standing behind the door, and there were four maids standing on both sides of the steps. Of course, there were also "uninvited guests" Li Li and Li Wenchang sitting beside him. For Liu Zhang, who has always valued face, no matter what environment he was in, he could not ignore his face. Even if he was slapped and pretended to be fat, he had to pretend. He could not lose face or behave.

So Liu Zhang was very calm and calm at this time, with his expression as usual, sitting upright, and not at all panic. The only drawback was that his right hand, holding the teacup, kept shaking, so that the tea in the cup was spilled out, and the back of his hand was filled with tea, soaking his sleeves.

"Stop holding on, there are no outsiders here, who are you showing off with a stance?" Seeing Liu Zhang pretending to be calm, Li Li couldn't help laughing.

Then he waved his hand and signaled the maid to come forward to wipe off the tea stains from Liu Zhang's hand, pour a cup of tea again, and gave it to Liu Zhang's hand, and smiled and said, "Drink a sip of water to suppress your shock. After so many years, you have not changed at all, and you have to live a life of face. In front of me, you don't have to live so tired, just be as casual as you feel comfortable, you don't have to deliberately restrain yourself. In this world, no one will be respected because of your politeness, nor will you be awesome because of your gentleness and gentleness. The only thing that can really make most people awe is their own strength." This is Li Li's heartfelt words, but it is a different feeling when it falls into Liu Zhang's ears. A feeling of being ridiculed arises naturally.

But when Liu Zhang's cheeks suddenly turned red, an unconcealed look of anger appeared. He lowered his head, and anger flashed in his eyes. However, Li Li was forced to sit beside him, so that he dared not speak out, so he had to swallow his anger, pretend to be calm, and force himself to not show his emotions.

After a little silence, Liu Zhang picked up the teacup again and drank half of the slightly cool tea, using herbal tea to calm himself down. He slowly put down the teacup. He slowly raised his head and looked at Li Li with a smile, calmly said: "I don't know when my brother will come to Chengdu, so why not say anything in advance so that I can prepare early and make the landlords' friendship?" This is a typical perfunctory excuse, avoiding the important and slightest, so as to conceal his panic. However, Liu Zhang's words "brother" were very smooth, and he came to him, and it seemed that he had formed a habit and became an inherent name.

But in fact, Liu Zhang was much older than Li Li, and was ten years apart, almost the age difference between the two generations; just like the age difference between Li Li and his uncle Li Jue, Li Jue was thirteen years older. The title between Liu Zhang and Li Li was somewhat inconsistent and inconsistent, but this title was proposed by Liu Zhang, claiming that "it is not based on customs and etiquette, and those who are proficient are the first", thus establishing the friendship between them to be brothers and brothers.

Speaking of which, this happened seven years ago. At that time, the three brothers of Liu Zhang were all in Chang'an. His brothers Liu Fan and Liu Dan were the chief censors at that time. They were very active and had close contacts with old ministers in the court. They waited for an opportunity to create chaos. They deliberately provoked conflicts between the officials in the court and Li Jue and Li Li uncle and nephew, and tried to assist Emperor Han Liu Xie to regain military and political power, support the court's stamina, and revive the Han Dynasty. Liu Zhang, who was the congressman at the time, lingered in the fireworks and willow all day long, loving wine and color, and loving poetry and painting. They drew a clear line with Liu Fan and Liu Dan, and were clear, and the brothers were each doing their own thing and went against the rules.

Once, Li Li disguised himself to the brothel and happened to meet Liu Zhang. At that time, Liu Zhang was also drunk and slightly drunk like tonight, and he started chatting with Li Li in a daze. Unexpectedly, the two spoke in an opportunistic manner and had a very happy conversation, especially when talking about the matter of Fengyue, they had a similar scent, and they felt like they were right at first sight. When they woke up the next day, Liu Zhang knew that the person who talked about Fengyue with him last night was Li Li, the general who was in charge of the military power of Xiliang and the world. So Liu Zhang weighed the pros and conscientiously and finally decided to climb Li Li, the big tree. Even if he could not get real benefits, he could at least save his life.

In this way, Liu Zhang brought a generous gift to meet Li Li, and spoke humble and catered to Li Li, and became a friendship with Li Li. Since then, Liu Zhang often went to the General Guard's Mansion to "visit and get close" and walked very frequently. Over time, his friendship with Li Li became deeper and deeper. Then he climbed up, respectfully calling Li Li brother, and privately calling Li Li 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 and enjoyed dances and paintings together. During this period, Li Li promised him that he would escort him to Yizhou soon and inherit the position of Yizhou.

Sure enough, Li Li did not break his promise, and said it would do his best. He made a promise three months later. Before secretly traveling to the Central Plains, Li Li ordered people to escort him to Yizhou and help him as the governor of Yizhou. Afterwards, Li Li returned from his journey and beheaded Liu Fan and Liu Dan in public in front of Changle Palace. Since then, all obstacles for Liu Zhang to ascend to the throne of Yizhou were completely cleared, and he became the only candidate to inherit the governor of Yizhou. Invisibly, he helped him firmly as the governor of Yizhou and gained the nine counties of Yizhou.

Time flies, years pass by, youth passes by, and six years pass in a blink of an eye.

Liu Zhang, who was in his thirties, is now middle-aged. Li Li has become increasingly mature and powerful in his age, and has become increasingly powerful. He has become a general who is in charge of the world's military power. In a few years, he has occupied half of the country, holding nearly one million soldiers, and has become a powerful prince and the undisputed world's number one overlord.
