With apprehension, after receiving the invitation brought by Lu Gui's subordinates, Li Tianyang came to Lu Gui's small courtyard alone to listen to Lu Gui's father-in-law's arrangement.

Cao Yongyi, a guy with no conscience, got a letter of promotion from Lu Gui, and after thanking Lu Gui and Shi Yuanya with generous gifts on the second day, he said goodbye to Li Tianyang and went back early to prepare.

What Li Tianyang didn't expect was that when he met Lu Gui this time, Lu Gui's face was a little more cordial, although it was a little less natural than when he treated Cao Yongyi, but this change also meant that Li Tianyang officially entered Lu Gui's eyes.

Ever since Lu Gui went all out and sent Cao Yongyi, a guy who Li Tianyang knew very well about the strength of the other party, to the position of the deputy commander of the military guard of Yingtianfu Jingying Mansion, Li Tianyang no longer dared to despise the old eunuch in front of him who was said to be about to go to Yingtianfu to recuperate.

"You are Xiao Cao's friend and partner, I heard Xiao Cao say that thanks to your funding over the years, he has some money on hand to dredge up the relationship." The small courtyard was elegant, just in front of the stone table in the garden of the small courtyard, Lu Gui looked at Li Tianyang with a relaxed face.

"What's the matter, Lord Cao has been taking care of our business all these years, so that we have lost a lot of trouble, and it is also the right thing to repay Lord Cao." Li Tianyang replied modestly, and the change in attitude towards Lu Gui made Li Tianyang scratch his head.

"Haha, don't be modest, young man, I know what kind of virtue Xiao Cao is, except for being honest and knowing gratitude, the rest is just the capital of a Chinese person." The first two times I met Li Tianyang and them, because of Cao Yongyi's relationship, Lu Gui focused more on Cao Yongyi, but he neglected the young man in front of him a little, until Shi Yuanya became interested in this young man: "In the past few years, a lot of Xiao Cao's credit has been stained with your light, this is another deed of clearing pirates, and forcing back the Western people, which one of them is not a small matter when it comes to Beijing!" ”

Since Shi Yuanya began to have some interest in Li Tianyang, not only for the generous gift of more than 10,000 taels of silver that Li Tianyang gave him, but also for the old friends who rarely showed some interest in outsiders. Before Cao Yongyi left, Lu Gui specially chatted with Cao Yongyi about this young man, and after this chat, he felt more and more that his old friend's vision was really powerful, and he could see that this young man was outstanding just from one side.

On the contrary, it was himself, with such a powerful figure by his side, but he never paid too much attention to it, but it also made Lu Gui feel stunned, it turned out that he was really old!

Although he didn't see the strength of Li Tianyang's stupid gang team, but from Cao Yongyi's mouth and his own personal experience when he was in Yuegang, Yuan Laoba and other pirates, and Western Fanren, he didn't have no dealings with these opponents, how could he not know how strong their abilities were, otherwise the Ming officers and soldiers would not let them make trouble in the coastal area!

But it was these opponents that Lu Gui knew that he was powerful, and in the end they all fell under the hands of the young man in front of him, so you can imagine what kind of energy this young man has behind this young man who is now in front of him with a faceless face and a humble posture!

"In your old eyes, we are all petty fights and just a mixed life, and we still need my father-in-law to show us the way in the future!" Li Tianyang had something to say, and quietly revealed the purpose of his entry into Beijing this time.

In fact, there is no need for Li Tianyang to say, but all people like them who are a little famous in the local area run to Jingshi, in order to find a partner in Jingshi who can be beneficial to their own development?

It's a pity that at this time, Lu Gui has lost his ambitions, and now he only wants to spend his old age in peace, otherwise Lu Gui will definitely not let go of an outstanding folk heroic figure like Li Tianyang.

"It's really cheap, Lao Shi, this guy!" In his heart, he felt sorry for Shi Yuanya, thinking about the great help that Shi Yuanya had helped this time, but Lu Gui was also happy that Shi Yuanya was able to discover this talent.

As for whether Shi Yuanya wanted to take this young man into his pocket in the end, or just had a little interest in Li Tianyang, it was not something that Lu Gui was willing to think about.

The two of them chatted for a while, and various temptations emerged one after another, of course, in the end, the one who suffered the most was naturally Li Tianyang.

Originally, he had to ask for others, and he had to think twice when he spoke, so many times Li Tianyang was tired of dealing with Lu Gui's various inquiries: which belong to Bengang secrets and should not be said, what things can be said, but they can't be said too thoroughly, and so on.

In addition, although the city government is getting deeper and deeper, they have never seen all kinds of deceit and murderous scenes like Lu Gui, who have worked hard in the officialdom for most of their lives, and they want to play tricks in front of Lu Gui, so they are naturally a little tender.

The more the two talked, the more the light in Lu Gui's eyes scattered, and after real contact in a short period of time, Li Tianyang's jade was really a completely different feeling in the eyes of people like them who were old and sophisticated and had seen all kinds of talents.

has this feeling, or because of the worldview that Li Tianyang has learned and cultivated in later generations, although he has a lot of stammering with Lu Gui on the surface at this time, Lu Gui can feel that in the heart of the young man in front of him, he has always put himself on the same height as Lu Gui, and he does not really regard himself as Lu Gui's vassal like Cao Yongyi because of the identity gap between him and Lu Gui.

Of course, there are also many people with such a mentality among the thousands of talents in the Ming Dynasty, but what makes Lu Gui feel most comfortable when talking to Li Tianyang is that Li Tianyang has never shown the slightest discrimination or contempt because Lu Gui is a eunuch.

Lu Gui and others have always been sensitive and fragile in their hearts, and it is precisely because of their physical disabilities that they have an inferiority complex when they interact with others.

In the same way, the Confucian disciples of the ancients were in charge, and they also had a lot of discrimination against this kind of eunuchs who flattered others by mutilating their bodies, and Confucian disciples who believed in the parents of the body would always sneer at these eunuchs whenever they had the opportunity.

But Li Tianyang is different, Lu Gui, who is sensitive by nature, always has unexpected insights into whether a person treats others equally from the heart.

It is precisely because of Li Tianyang's calmness and egalitarian mentality that Lu Gui can't help but like to communicate and chat with this young man, even if it is not for other reasons, just chatting in the sky like this is already very comfortable.
