Kong Ming was shocked and surprised when he heard the sound. He never expected that the sage Yang in front of him was so generous. He was so enthusiastic when he first met. After a few words, he directly called his brother and brother... This situation surprised him deeply and unexpectedly, so that Mr. Kong Ming, who had always been so slight, didn't know what to do at this moment.

The wine was given to famous scholars. This chew was indeed very loud, unique and novel. This made Kong Ming very curious after hearing it, so he happily walked into the wine shop and wrote a poem. The purpose was to meet this great Yang Dashi.

In his expectation, Yang Dashan, who was in the Shilixiang Restaurant, must be an official, or a wealthy businessman, but he was a person who favored poetry and essays. In order to collect excellent poetry and essays, he spared money and spent money like soil. In this troubled era, such people were really a bit unique, unconventional, and regarded money as dirt. They should be interesting people in troubled times.

Because of this, Kong Ming can be said to have come here to see who this great charity is, and he is so generous in his actions. However, he never thought of making friends with such rich people. Even if he was not a merchant or a man among officials, he would not be willing to make friends easily, and would not be very familiar with him and call him brothers and brothers.

So far, Kong Ming has not had many real friends. This is not because he is introverted, but because he has a very high vision and ordinary scholars do not look down on him at all. Only famous scholars or hermits who are truly knowledgeable and can increase their knowledge, or like-minded scholars with common language. Only then is he willing to have a deep friendship with him, and no one else can talk about it. This may be the so-called feathers of birds of a feather flock together. People with different identities and status have their own circle of friends. It is difficult for others to enter their circle.

As for the way of dating brothers and brothers, Kong Ming is indeed a bit unfamiliar with Kong Ming. Although he often calls someone "Brother, brother", this is just a polite title. Although the true meaning of brothers is only one word, it is a slight difference that is a thousand miles apart and has nothing to do with.

At this moment, facing Yang Lin, who looked frank and fistful, was really stumped.

After careful examination, Yang Lin was more than nine feet tall and strong. He seemed to have a huge force hidden all over his body. If he hadn't been wearing a brocade robe and extraordinary weapon, Kong Ming almost mistakenly thought that he was a martial artist with unique skills. No, to be precise, he should be a general with a strong expression and a sharp murderous aura.

He is about twenty-three or four years old, with a handsome appearance, sharp eyebrows, deep and sharp eyes, giving people a sense of unfathomableness. His skin is rosy, with clear horns, with black beards in the eight characters, and his mouth is always slightly raised with a mature, steady, and strong and confident smile. He is extremely masculine and must be very feminine. He is also a beautiful woman with excellent looks.

But these are not the focus of Kong Ming's attention. What surprised him the most or was different is that Yang Lin's behavior and talked generously, with a special aura that made people feel unspeakable, which invisibly gave people good feelings, like a spring breeze. It makes people feel close to him unknowingly, and can clearly feel his sincerity in treating others, making it easy to trust him without being wary of it.

In addition, standing in front of Yang Lin, Kong Ming felt a special pressure inexplicably. Yes, it was not suppression, but real pressure, as if he was in a special aura, his mind was completely controlled by Yang Lin. With every move, Yang Lin seemed to have infinite power around him, which prompted Kong Ming's thoughts to rotate involuntarily with his every move.

This is the special aura of the superior and the unique pressure of the superior. Kong Ming once felt the aura of some superiors in his uncle, but it was extremely weak and almost imperceptible; if he had not been meticulous and meticulous, he could hardly feel it. But at this moment, he did not have to feel it deliberately, and could personally feel the domineering and majestic pressure of Yang Lin. Every word and action could restrain the mental thinking of the person who talked to him, and he almost lost the ability to think about himself, had no two minds at all, and followed his thoughts wholeheartedly.

This mysterious and subtle feeling is impossible for ordinary people to feel, or cannot detect. Only wise people with truly tenacious minds, meticulous minds, and good at observing can keenly feel abnormalities and make their own accurate judgments. It goes without saying that Kong Ming is undoubtedly a wise man with a meticulous heart, extremely good at discovering some inaccurate details, knowing the details, and then making the most accurate judgments.

"Yang Lin is not a merchant or an official, but a superior with authority!" This is the conclusion that Kong Ming came to after careful observation of Yang Lin. He even guessed that Yang Lin might be a hegemon, otherwise ordinary county magistrates or generals would not have such a strong aura and pressure. However, at present, all the princes gathered in Wancheng, and were greeting in front of the county magistrate's office opposite the attic. The seven princes were all present, all of whom were present, and no one was absent. How could Yang Lin be a hegemon?

In addition to these seven princes, there are three overlords in the world. One is Li Li of Xiliang who is far away in Luoyang, the second is Gongsun Zan who is far away in Youzhou, and the third is Liu Zhang of Yizhou. These three princes cannot appear in Wancheng. One is too far away, and the other is they cannot rob the emperor and the officials. Youzhou is located in a corner, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so you can make the decision. There is no direct threat to other princes. What is the use of stealing the emperor? It is equivalent to causing trouble for yourself. Li Li of Xiliang is even more unlikely to rob the emperor and the officials. If he insists on robbing, the emperor and the officials will never be able to escape from Chang'an, and he was intercepted by the Xiliang army halfway.

"Who is Yang Lin? Why did he stay here and why did he offer a reward of good poetry?" In an instant, Kong Ming's thoughts were twisted and turned, and finally all his thoughts gathered on these two questions, and he was puzzled.

———————————————————————

It was a lot of thoughts, but it was difficult to refuse the kindness. Kong Ming hesitated for a moment, but it was really difficult to decide.

Seeing Kong Ming's face appearing embarrassed, Yang Lin smiled heartily, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Your brother, don't make things difficult, there is no hurry to do this. I still have to stay in the city for a few days. You may as well consider it carefully and then give a reply."

After hearing this, Kong Ming relaxed his expression and let out a sigh of relief. He bowed and said, "Brother Shengyi fist, which made Yu brother flattered. However, he was humble and had no skills. He was a commoner, but he really did not dare to make friends with his brother rashly, for fear of harming his brother's reputation. He thanked his brother for not abandoning him. I have nothing to do recently, and I would like to accompany my brother to see the scenery of the Emperor's Country. I wonder what his brother wants?"

As soon as this said, Guo Shiqi, who was standing aside with a smile and silent expression, appeared a hint of regret in his eyebrows, as if he was implying that Kong Ming had missed a great opportunity. After hearing Kong Ming's words, a gleam flashed in his eyes, showing a sense of praise. But the expression on his face was still smiling and silent.

Perhaps it was to Kong Ming that Yang Lin's words just now were indeed a bit pretentious, and the words were too deep. But to Guo Shiqi, it was not abrupt at all. Instead, he looked at Kong Ming with a higher gaze and treated him in an equal position with him. His lord was very sensible, with a wise eye to know talents, and a good position. This section has long been recognized by the princes of various towns. The art of being a master is well-known. There are only two people who can be recognized as brothers by his lord. So far, there are only two people. They are famous for their lords' literary talent and martial arts, which is amazing.

Therefore, when Yang Lin took the initiative to recognize Kong Ming as his brother, Guo Shiqi was shocked and instantly placed Kong Ming on a very high position, even above him. Unfortunately, Kong Ming was young after all, and did not know how prominent the brother represents, and what it means to be regarded by Yang Lin so much. At the same time, he was even more unlikely to know that if he missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, he would most likely die and die young.

If they met five years ago, Yang Lin might still love and cherish talent, leave room for his own use, and wait until the time is ripe before taking it for his own use. However, nowadays, Yang Lin's civil servants and military officials gathered, his wings were abundant, his actions became more and more decisive, and he was decisive in his killing. If a young talent like Kong Ming cannot take it for his own use, he will definitely erase it mercilessly and eliminate future troubles forever.

Just as Guo Shiqi was thinking secretly, Yang Lin smiled and said, "What my brother said is very good. Brother Yu was just about to have a long talk with him. In recent years, it has been rare to meet a young talent like his brother. He is so charming that he is very close to you. How can he miss it easily? Hahaha!"

"Brother is too rewarded." Kong Ming smiled humbly: "Brother shows his kingly demeanor in every move and move, and he is brave. It is a blessing for the foolish brother to be appreciated by his brother. He listens to his brother's accent as he doesn't look like a person in Nanyang, so he takes the liberty to ask for advice. I don't know where his brother's immortal land is?"

"Immortal Land? Hahaha!" Yang Lin was stunned when he heard the sound and laughed loudly: "My brother should not be so reserved. You can say things straightforwardly without being polite. Brother Yu is a Hongnong native. Not long ago, he followed the emperor and all officials all the way south from Luoyang to Wancheng, and now he lives in this restaurant. Look, the county magistrate's palace opposite can be said to be gathering princes at this time. The emperor and all the officials gather together, and there are many dukes and marquis. Brother Yu is a little slight and cannot enter the temple. He has to join in the fun here and make his brother laugh."

Kong Ming walked to Yang Lin and stood by the window with Yang Lin and Guo Shiqi. He looked at the stone steps of the county magistrate's lobby opposite, and seemed to be discussing matters in the lobby. He chuckled and said, "Brother is too modest. In the eyes of my brother, my brother is handsome and has extraordinary talent. He is not inferior to the seven princes in the lobby, and he is even more than that. Don't belittle himself. Today, Liu Jingzhou led his army to come, and the princes of the Central Plains gathered in Wancheng. I imagine that there will be a fight or a big melee next."

"Oh?" Yang Lin pondered and said with a smile: "How can I see it? Brother I am very puzzled, so I might as well speak out."

Kong Ming nodded and said, "Now, the princes in all the towns think that the emperor and all officials are strange goods, and they are eager to try it out, trying to imitate the Xiliang Li wield the emperor to order the princes, so they gathered here. However, in my opinion, this is not the case. The incident of the emperor and all officials returning to the east is quite strange, and there are many things that are puzzled and extremely suspicious. Therefore, the emperor is not only not strange goods, but also hidden dangers and murderous intent. Once any princes steal the emperor and all officials, the consequences will be of great danger and unimaginable."

Yang Lin nodded thoughtfully: "What my brother said is not without reason. But,, it is a blessing for my great Han Dynasty to return to the east, why did my brother say that he was murderous? I am stupid because of my brother, so I would like to tell you the reason."

Kong Ming smiled indifferently and said without thinking: "Imagine that Li Wenchang has more than 500,000 troops, with a heroic leader, and he was the leader. Last year, he could take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the entire territory of Sili in one fell swoop. If this were possible, the emperor and all officials would have nowhere to escape. However, after the Sili victory, the Western Liang army stopped and deliberately left Luoyang and the two counties in Henan to ignore it. On the surface, Li Li was well aware of the way to advance and retreat, leaving Luoyang and Henan County as a buffering place to eliminate the panic and alertness of the princes of the Central Plains. In fact, it was not, Li Wenchang was not as simple as they imagined.

As expected, when the emperor and all officials returned east, the eastern capital Luoyang became the key point, becoming the sustenance of the emperor and all officials, and supporting them to return to the eastern capital after going through hardships. Looking at the journey of the emperor and his group of people, it is better to say that they were deliberately released by Li Wenchang than to escape from death. Combined with the previous Luoyang and Henan County became a homeless land, it is not difficult to see that the whole thing is under the control of Li Wenchang. This is completely a conspiracy and a huge plot. The result is very likely to be to wipe out the Central Plains in one fell swoop and completely destroy the Han Dynasty!”
