Wei Zheng said with a smile: "My subordinates still thought that the lord was just destined for Yang Xuangan, but I didn't expect that the lord had known Li Mi for so long. ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "Because we are the same people, and we are equally proud!" ”

A day later, in the north of Luoyang, in the mountains of Luoshan, the famous mountain range in the north of Luoyang City, spanning more than 100 miles, forming a natural barrier to the eastern capital, and in this continuous mountains, a valley full of maple leaves, quietly located between the mountains and mountains, a stream flows through the mouth of the valley, it has reached late autumn, red leaves everywhere, and in this stream mist, a small courtyard with a radius of thirty or forty steps in this valley can be faintly seen.

A thin old man in his fifties, with gray hair and a kind face, was sitting in a grass hut, with a small incense burner inserted on the small table in front of him, and among the smoke owls, more than a dozen young children in the hall, mostly dressed in cloth clothes, were all peasant children, shaking their heads and reading the Analects with him.

There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the door, the old man's slightly squinted eyes widened, looked out of the door, shook his head, turned his head to a black-faced man with a long beard, a blue cloth coat, and a young man in his thirties who was kneeling on the side, fanning and polishing ink for himself, said: "Xuandi, it seems that your senior is coming." ”

This young man was Li Mi, and the old man with a white beard was Xu Wenyuan, his expression was calm, as if all this was expected by him, he stopped grinding the ink in his hand, got up and saluted Xu Wenyuan: "Since the line is full, the disciple will leave first." ”

Xu Wenyuan smiled slightly: "If it is expected by the teacher, it will be full of here." Just to see you. Instead of seeing me, a bad old man. As a teacher, he has now looked down on fame and fortune, and he doesn't want to get involved in these rights and wrongs. Speaking of this, Xu Wenyuan coughed dryly, stood up, and said to the children. That's all for today, let's disperse! ”

Wang Shichong only brought Wei Zheng and Shan Xiongxin today, he was wearing a gray silk dress, standing by the stream with his hands down, his expression was very respectful.

A sound of footsteps sounded, Li Mi's face was gloomy, he came with his hands in his hand, and said from a distance across the stream: "The family teacher has a saying, today I occasionally feel cold and feel unwell. No visitors yet! Three, please come back. ”

Wang Shi straightened his clothes and faced the small courtyard in the distance. Kneeling down and bowing, he said loudly: "The teacher is on the top, for many years, the disciple has not had the opportunity to see, today the disciple is favored by the teacher, a small success, especially with some light gifts to visit the teacher, but I don't want to encounter such an accident, but also ask the teacher to cultivate and recuperate, disciple Wang Shichong, I wish the teacher a speedy recovery." After saying this, he bowed respectfully three more times before standing up.

Li Mi looked at Wang Shichong coldly and said, "Senior Brother Wang, you have also kowtowed to your head, and you have fulfilled the etiquette of a disciple, so you can go back." ”

Wang Shichong turned his head and pointed to a few boxes of gifts beside Shan Xiongxin, and said: "These small gifts are mostly good tonic medicinal materials, as well as warm clothes, as well as dozens of volumes of books that the teacher wanted back then. ”

Li Mi pondered for a while, waved his hand, and a few young people ran out of the courtyard, carried the boxes of things in, and he arched his hand towards Wang Shichong: "Then thank you Senior Brother Wang for this kindness." Then he turned and wanted to leave.

Wang Shichong smiled and said: "Senior Brother Li, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, and today we met by chance at the teacher's place, don't you want to borrow this feng shui treasure and have a good chat?" ”

Li Mi said coldly: "Senior Brother Wang, since you have already made it so clear to Miaocai, what else is there to talk to me?" ”

Wang Shichong waved his hand: "Okay, don't say secret words in front of the Mingren, if you don't want to see me, you won't stay in this place for half a month, if I don't want to discuss something with you, I won't come here all the way, you and I have precious time, so don't beat around the corner." ”

Li Mi nodded expressionlessly, pointed to the two maple trees in front of him, and said: "Just go there, those two trees were planted by you and me back then, and sitting under them to talk about the world, maybe it can remind you and me that the opposite side is the former brother of the same sect, not the enemy like now." ”

Wang Shichong smiled, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture to ask the gentleman to go first, Li Mi also took the lead, and walked forward, Wei Zheng and Shan Xiongxin stayed in place, watching the figures of the two gradually drift away, the corners of Shan Xiongxin's mouth hooked: "I don't know what the lord thinks, he is so polite to this Li Mi, but he is just a broken nobleman, how strong can he be?" I think his Li family is not as good as the lord now. ”

Wei Zheng sighed softly: "The background of this kind of family is not determined by the current official position, maybe in the troubled times in the future, this Li Mi is the one who can compete with the lord for the world, Xiongxin, don't underestimate this person." ”

Li Mi and Wang Shichong walked under the two maple trees, these two trees have grown into a big tree hugged by one person, and the maple leaves under the tree have covered the entire earth, a fiery red, even the original soil can not be seen clearly, Wang Shichong sighed: "I can't imagine that the seedlings planted by you and me back then have grown so big now, it's really a thing or a thing." ”

Li Mi sneered: "Yes, the trees have grown, and people's hearts have changed, when I first entered the master's door, I wanted to seek Confucianism, but I didn't expect to meet you as a senior brother who specializes in arithmetic, tortoise shells, and war strategies, and I can even say that I, Li Mi, have embarked on the road of a soldier and a strategist in this life, and it was also your senior brother who led the door." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Back then, I was just the son of a businessman, who spent the family's savings to study, and you Pushan County Duke took over his father's title at a young age. ”

Li Mi said expressionlessly: "That's because you, Wang Shichong, are different from all your classmates, others are all learning from the ancient sages and the way of governing the country, but you are interested in those sideways, strange powers, and the art of winning the world." Compared with your bearded face, that uneasy ambition is what attracts me more. ”

Wang Shichong laughed, pointed to his heart, and then pointed to Li Mi's left chest: "That's because you, the prince of Pushan County, also have the same restless heart, right?" (To be continued.) )
