Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Pingjing Chapter 154 Wine is not intoxicating, water is intoxicating
As Su Wen expected, that person was Li Jucheng, the first assistant of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the old man who single-handedly stirred up the situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty for twenty years.
Su Wen sat down carefully and didn't open his mouth to ask, and the other party didn't answer him, the two looked at each other quietly for about ten breaths, and finally the old man broke the silence.
"It's so young!"
Su Wen pointed to himself and asked, "Are you talking about me?"
Li Jucheng nodded, filled the cup, and said, "Will you drink?"
Su Wen raised his hand indifferently and picked up the wine glass in front of him, he didn't look timid at all because it was a legendary person sitting opposite, he drank it in one sip, and suddenly changed his face, this wine cut his throat more than Cui Tao, as if there was a fire burning in his abdomen, and coughed again and again: "Old man, do you drink such strong wine?"
"No, I only drink water on weekdays. Li Jucheng handed the wine glass in his hand to the other party for a reason, and sure enough, there was no smell of wine.
Su Wen turned his head and glared at Shen Bancheng, didn't the other party say that he was drinking with someone? At this moment, a person walked in from outside the door, dressed in a bright yellow robe, although there was no pattern on it, it was still extravagant.
"Father, I'm back. The man said respectfully, sitting down next to Su Wen peacefully.
Su Wen quietly looked sideways at the man beside him, his eyebrow bones were prominent, making his eyes more profound, and the high bridge of his nose lined the whole face with plump and three-dimensional, not very handsome, but it was Shen Yun's master, whether it was coming from outside the door or sitting quietly at the moment, all of them were full of breath.
"Zaizhong, I'll introduce you to someone. Li Jucheng opened his mouth and said, Li Zaizhong followed the other party's gaze and looked at Su Wen beside him, and the feeling of being shrouded by the other party's gaze made Su Wen suddenly excited, although there was no malicious intent, but he was very sharp, and hurriedly said: "Boy Su Wen, I have seen Wu Anhou." β
His name is Li Jucheng's father-in-law, and Li Jucheng calls him Zhong, just ask if there are still those two people in the world who will talk like this, Su Wen heard Li Zaizhong's name many times from Chen Maochuan's mouth when he was in Cangzhou, and also said that he was the person who most hoped that Chen Maochuan and Li Zaixiao would disappear from the world.
Li Zaizhong didn't make too many moves, and even his expression didn't change, he looked away after nodding slightly, and then got up and said, "Father-in-law, Zaizhong still has something to do, so I'll retire first." β
Su Wen looked at the two of them, it seemed that they were not as father and son as rumored, Li Jucheng did not stop him, and said, "It's good to accompany me to see the old thirteen tomorrow." β
Hearing this, Li Zaizhong was not unusual, and replied without pause: "Okay, tomorrow I will send a carriage to the mansion to pick up my father-in-law." β
After that, Li Zaizhong withdrew from the room, and Su Wen felt that it seemed that after the other party walked in, the whole room seemed depressed, and as the other party left, he was comfortable again, could it be that this Wu Anhou's aura was stronger than Li Jucheng.
Thinking about it, he looked down and saw the wine glass in front of him, and suddenly realized it, and asked in a low voice, "This wine is not it." β
Shen Bancheng nodded in response with a smile, then closed the door and said with a long sigh of relief: "No matter how many times you see Wu Anhou, you will inevitably be panicked. β
Su asked, how long has it been in Kyoto. Li Jucheng seemed to be in a good mood and asked.
Su Wen didn't know if the other party was knowingly asking or if he had a deep meaning, it was clear that the other party had already known since he entered Beijing, and then he sent himself to Hengyuan when he entered the school, why did he pretend to be confused at this moment.
"Less than a year. β
"A year is not too short, do you know why I want you to enter the Hengyuan. Li Jucheng suddenly went straight to the point, which made Su Wen a little unexpected, looking at Shen Bancheng, the other party immediately twisted his head to the side, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, and after thinking for a while, he asked instead of answering: "Isn't it the Hengyuan that Your Majesty let me in?"
"Interesting, you kid has a pair of sharp teeth, when the Hengyuan was sealed, the students no longer exist, and it has been seven years since you counted. Li Jucheng laughed.
Hearing this, even Shen Bancheng became interested, that day he wanted to put some words out of the mouth of the great god of the world, but he didn't want to be confused by the other party's words in the clouds, at this moment, he could hear the person himself say, I was afraid that there would be no few people in the whole world who had this kind of luck.
"What you saw and heard during this trip to the Shadow Mountain, can you guess the reason for what happened back then? Li Jucheng seemed to be determined to ask Su to speak.
"This. Su Wen hesitated, Xu is previous sip of wine surged up, and his mind was dizzy and said: " At that time, the Northern Wei Dynasty was exhausted, even if the new emperor ascended the throne, it was difficult to hide the decline, and the first assistant master stepped on the rivers and lakes to impose another luck on the Northern Wei royal family, but unfortunately, the first battle of the Li River should have exhausted that luck, I have always wondered why Li Zaixiao must fall in the two states, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was in turmoil before he stood up to be this hero. β
Li Jucheng didn't interrupt the other party's words, and listened very seriously, as if the other party had nothing to say about him, as a tea guest, listening to the storyteller's story.
"Although the Northern Wei Dynasty is prosperous now, the Southern Tang Dynasty is even better, and my lord is taking the luck of the school to continue the Northern Wei Dynasty. If Su Wen's last words were placed in the Nantang Teahouse, he would definitely be able to win the applause of the whole house, but it was a pity that one of the people here knew it, and the other was not so bold.
"So why did I let you go to Hengyuan again, do you know?"
Su Wen chuckled and laughed at himself: "I don't have that much ability, a dilapidated Hengyuan, even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't save it, let alone the huge Northern Wei Dynasty." β
"You can't, but Sue can carry it. The old man said affirmatively, his eyes gradually flashing back to him, here and now just like that place, one surnamed Su, the other surnamed Li, an absurd and strange transaction to extend the life of the entire dynasty for twenty years.
"Then you're looking for the wrong person, you should go to my senior brother. Su Wen said disapprerovingly, since everyone was rushing towards the senior brother, why should it be difficult for him, a young man who was born.
Li Jucheng filled the cup with water, put it in front of Su Wen, and asked, "Who doesn't want to be a savior who is admired by all people and left in history, didn't you come to Kyoto for this?"
Su Wen took the glass of water and said with a smile: "Water is water, wine is wine, it is not that it can be turned into wine in a wine glass, I certainly want those nice and beautiful words, but I also have self-knowledge, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, but I am just a horseman, if the emperor does well enough, why should someone save the world?"
"Then what if you decide who will be the emperor?" Li Jucheng suddenly interrupted the other party's words, as if Su Wen, who was thundered, couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand, and Shen Bancheng covered his ears and left the room.
"Are you drunk?" asked Su cautiously.
"How can you get drunk when you drink water. β
"That must have been me drunk. Su Wen stood up and decided to leave, he could feel that staying any longer would lead to an even more troublesome choice, and he was already in trouble.
"Are you scared? You don't even have the courage to listen, how do you go about finding the answers you want. Li Jucheng shouted loudly to stop the other party's pace, and the fluctuation of his tone seemed that the old man was shaken.
Su Wen turned around and asked softly, "Do you know what I'm looking for?"
"I don't know, but what I do know is that when I was a scholar, I thought that only the county officials could use the Shocking Hallwood, and now I also have a piece, named Zuo Chaogang, when I was teaching in the Guozijian, I would rather stand in the Jinluan Hall for ten years, than be an idler who can't even go to the early dynasty and sit in the hall all day, and then I didn't know until I stepped into the Jinluan Palace, it turned out that there were people who could sit here except for the emperor, and when I could really sit down, I found that it was actually uncomfortable to sit, especially when everyone was standing and you were sittingγ β
Li Jucheng paused and continued: "I just want to tell you that no matter what you want to know, you will definitely not be able to see clearly now, and when you are qualified to stand on the top of the sky and overlook the entire Kyushu, nothing can be hidden from you. β
"Haha, Lord Shoufu must think too highly of me! Don't say that I haven't even seen that Jinluan Hall at the top of the sky. Su Wen smiled, a little far-fetched, as if he deliberately attached to the other party.
"In this way, I was not even more depressed back then, I failed the scientific examination for five years, my family was ruined, standing on the top of the moon-watching building, in fact, I just wanted to jump, if I died at that time, there would be no future generations to say that the glass to the sky, and there is no Li Jucheng today. β
The slightly cloudy deep eyes looked at Su Wen, and then said word by word: "But at that time, someone said to me, Li Jucheng, do you want this world?"
In the face of such lofty words, the extremely depressed scholar shouted at the man as if he had lived again.
"Why not. β
......
"What did you all say. Shen Bancheng, who was outside the door, saw Su Wen walking out and asked softly.
Su Wen turned his head to look at the old man in the room, pursed his lips and said, "If you dare to listen, why hide outside." β
Shen Bancheng smiled, poked his head over and said respectfully to Li Jucheng: "Grandpa Shoufu, if it's okay, we'll leave first." β
Li Jucheng waved his palm casually, and Shen Bancheng gently closed the door, and at this moment, he raised his eyes and saw a familiar figure hurriedly coming in from outside the Moon Viewing Tower.
Mu Qingyi went and returned, walking towards the two people on the second floor.
"What does Miss Mu mean when she goes and returns, if you make a special trip to thank you, it is better to sit down in another place and talk about it in detail. Shen Bancheng looked like a swinger and said with a chuckle.
It's just that Mu Qingyi's expression was solemn, but he didn't mean to laugh with him, so he turned to look at Su Wen and said in a deep voice.
"Senior Brother Su, the girl surnamed Hu in your family was snatched back to the house by Du Yichen. β
When the words settled, Shen Bancheng only felt a flower in front of him, and the railing on the second floor was broken by a strong force, and when he looked at it again, Su Wen had already rushed out of the building.
Shen Bancheng didn't go after Su Qian, but looked at the other party suspiciously, and asked, "You are so sure of Miss Hu, you don't seem to know each other." β
"When Senior Brother Su and they returned to Beijing, I saw it from afar, so I saw it. Mu Qingyi wanted to speak and stopped, and unconsciously turned his head not to look at the other party's eyes.
Shen Bancheng was silent for a moment, as if he had made a big decision, turned around and pushed open the closed door, and then the words that came out of it shocked Mu Qingyu for a long time and couldn't ease his senses.
"Grandpa Shoufu, if Su Wen kills a Shangshu, can you keep him from dying?"
