Chapter 158: Climbing high, you must feel inferior, and traveling far must be far away

The disciple is not a slave to a traitor.

Instead, people who must show their true abilities to handle affairs and even solve important problems for the lord they depend on.

Just like Yang Su, one of the former heads of "Mingyuan", he once had more than a thousand guests. Although the style of raising guests in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was not as good as the pre-Qin era, the number of visitors was also a very important symbol of status.

Gao Lie and Ma Zhou looked at each other. After a while, Gao Lie's eyes suddenly swept across Ma Zhou's face and shoulders, and then looked at Luo Renjun, Liu Anyuan and other handsome men nearby who were drinking and chatting happily.

When the two were compared, Gao Lie immediately showed a sudden expression, then put down the wine pot and bowed, "I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Li Yao did not intend to delve into what Gao Lie was thinking. He just smiled and said, "Just understand it."

After Li Yao said that, he stared at Ma Zhou with a smile and silent voice, obviously waiting for the other party's statement.

Ma Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gao Lie and Li Yao in surprise. Then he suddenly felt embarrassed, as if he had no taste. He couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Since that's the case, I don't know what Master Mingzhen's disciple can do?"

By summarizing the lessons from the past, Ma Zhou deeply understood the meaning of "Climbing high will lead to inferiority, and traveling far will lead to nearness". His recent wandering life has almost polished him to nothing.

It can be said that even whether Ma Zhou can survive has become a big problem.

But as a scholar with self-esteem and ambition, he still wants to know whether what he does in the future is meaningful and whether it is worth it to let go of his last bit of posture.

After all, in the past, although poor families were living under noble women and famous socialites, they might have taken a shortcut to advance, but they were always criticized by the world.

Most smart people understand one truth, that is, doing too much cover in front of equally smart people will usually only backfire. So when Li Yao asked Ma Zhou's reserved question, he replied directly: "As a practitioner, I don't like to be obsessed with earthly affairs, so I naturally have to do it for someone. Isn't Ma Langjun the best person to come to my door?"

Li Yao said, and suddenly patted the caravan and smiled indifferently: "What's more, my Baiyu Tower is not something that anyone can come in, and there will never be few such banquets today. After all, this is the tower near the water, so you will get the moon first."

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhou unconsciously looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and showed that some of the high-ranking families had indeed come to the banquet today, and his heart suddenly became clear. He quickly put down the wine pot, bowed and said, "Ma is willing to serve the Taoist priest."

Li Yao returned the tribute and said happily: "Very good! From now on, Ma Langjun is the leader of Mingyuan."

Then, Li Yao caught a glimpse of Gao Lie's desire to speak but stopped, and said to him slowly: "As you see, I am a big Mingyuan, with a large population, and my daily expenses are like flowing water. Although it is not difficult to make money by using the White Jade Tower to make a clever name, it is a bit constrained by taking advantage of the loopholes in the market and making speculative moves. Now Tuyuhun is attached to Tang, Longyou and Hexi business roads are generally open, and the east and west markets are also becoming more and more prosperous. Therefore, in order to avoid being in vain, I formed a team in Mingyuan to collect remuneration to protect the property and personal safety of the business and travelers. However, there is currently a lack of a wise and brave guard leader who is well-versed and well-versed in marching formations. Can you be willing to take on this responsibility if you are not satisfied?"

Ma Zhou next to him couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Originally, the "Business Saint" Fan Li was a Taoist, and it was understandable that Taoist priests were doing business and making profits. However, he didn't expect that this heroine, who looked calm and desireless on the surface, was actually a worldly and wise man, and such a young female crown was deeply attracted by the business essence of "taking it at the moment and pursuing it from the moment". He really taught him to be curious about it.

Gao Lie hesitated for a long time before he replied, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have a reluctant request."

Li Yao nodded and said, "But it's okay."

Gao Lie glanced at Ma Zhou next to him without a trace, and then he made a request to Li Yao with a slight desire: "To be honest, I still have a monogamous wife. Recently, I learned that my family's fields... were all flooded. I guess Zhujing had a difficult life. I hope the Taoist priest can try to bring Zhujing to Mingyuan to live. Only when the Taoist priest agreed, could he take on this job."

Water flooded? I'm afraid the government came to me and lost my property! Li Yao understood it and immediately said confidently: "This is an easy task. I dare to guarantee it with my personality. Within three days, I can reunite with my wife."

"good!"

Gao Lie nodded heavily and said excitedly: "Su... I believe that Taoist priest will learn from his words. The leader of this team did it!"

Li Yao was very happy when he was able to use two powerful people, one literary and one martial arts, and suddenly stretched out his hand and learned Zuo Ci and others in the late Han Dynasty, improvising a simple close-up magic trick.

Perhaps Gao Lie and Ma Zhou were both local buns who had never seen many magic tricks. When they saw Li Yao's palms turn into a delicate gourd out of thin air, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

Li Yao pulled out the plug, held the wine gourd, smiled, and said, "Mingzhen can get help from you in the future, come and drink!"

Gao Lie and Ma Zhou came back to their senses when they heard the sound, quickly picked up the wine pot, and responded in unison: "Drink!"

Li Yao's body had a bad alcohol content. At best, this gourd wine was only a few taels. However, after drinking it all, she felt that she was half drunk, so she had to stagger back to the table to eat fruits and melons without disturbing Ma Zhou and Gao Lie and his friends and enjoying the moon. She hoped to use this to suppress the rushing spirit.

Soon, the companion at the banquet suddenly became excited. Li Yao shook his head and looked at the center of the tower. He saw two beauties, An Hongyu and Zhong Jingyun, performing sword dance on the same stage, which was very similar to the superiors and inferiors. One was Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, as if the emperors were flying dragons, and the other was as graceful as orchids and green as a green dragon, as if they were swimming in the dragon. The two were hard and soft, and they complemented each other, which was really wonderful.

Li Yao was happy to see it, so he took the lead and shouted OK, which immediately triggered a loud cheering response from someone nearby. When Li Yao heard the sound, his slightly drunk eyes immediately condensed.

I saw Ren Yaxiang, who was well-dressed, leaning forward with his upper body, stretching his neck like a duck, staring at Senior Sister Jingyun's figure without even blinking, and a fascinated look gradually appeared on his face, but I was afraid he was about to be fooled by it.

Li Yao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. If he had the tools for the crime still existed and met Sister Jingyun, who was as elegant and beautiful as a water lily, he would not have given others the chance to make up his mind!

But what can she do now? Could she let Jingyun, who is actually tired of practicing Taoism, be a Taoist nun for the rest of her life?

And in fact, she did not have much prejudice against Ren Yaxiang. After all, a beautiful lady is a gentleman!

What's more, Ren Ya is handsome and has the talent of becoming a general. Even if he only discusses family background, the Ren family in Weinan is better than the Zhong family in Changshe.

It can be said that this Ren Langjun is completely worthy of Senior Sister Jingyun.

But Li Yao was unhappy and called two well-behaved Taoist boys to serve her to drink to relieve her boredom. As a result, she was drunk soon and fell softly on the desk and couldn't even get up...
