Shen Lie didn't speak. He looked away from Ji Xiahe and looked at Liang Jun.
Ji Xiahe suddenly realized that his way of expression was not very appropriate. He wanted to say a few words for Liang Jun, but he rashly used "one of his own" and also moved out Zhao Ning and Ali.
Ji Xiahe frowned and said in a low voice: "Brother Shen, I have no intention of using human favors as a hostage for my own preferences."
After all, he and Liang Jun only met each other once, and there was really no relationship between them.
Shen Lie glanced at Ji Xiahe and said calmly: "I didn't think much about it."
Including Liang Jun and Shen Lie, they didn't think much about it.
Although Ji Xiahe moved out of Ah Li rashly, it was indeed Ah Li, so Shen Lie had no suspicion about Liang Jun.
Ah Li never mentioned Liang Jun in her letter to him, but this was her style.
If there was anything inappropriate about Liang Jun, she would only mention it and ask him to use it with caution.
Therefore, Liang Jun has at least passed her level.
But as Shen Lie said before, he had nothing to give Liang Jun.
"Thank you Mr. Liang for your love," Shen Lie said, "but Mr. Shen has no ambitions. Mr. Liang is a great leader, but his talent is hidden in a ravine. It is time to find a wise master to show off his ambitions, and it is not appropriate to delay him here."
Ji Xiahe was stunned: "Brother Shen..."
Then he glanced at Liang Jun.
"Mr. Shen, you are ambitious." Liang Jun said.
"I really don't," Shen Lie looked at him with calm and clear eyes, "I'm not even remotely interested in competing for the throne."
"Then why did Mr. Shen come to explore the state?" Liang Jun held up his hand, "Mr. Shen, your ambition is not necessarily to compete in the country. I wish the world's rivers are clear and the sea is clean, that the people are neither hungry nor cold, and that all living things have a happy life. Ambition in your heart! If you want something, you will have ambition! Fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, fight back against the drunken deer, recharge your batteries, and wait until next year to attack Song Zhiyi, that is also the case! The terrain of Tanzhou is so wonderful, I know Mr. Shen is here, It’s not just about escaping from the world!”
When Ji Xiahe heard this, he finally understood what Shen Lie was thinking, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Liang, whether you are dealing with Bei Yuan, Zui Lu, or Song Zhiyi, it is not an easy path to follow. The future blessings and disasters are unknown, why are you Are you still going to Tanzhou to look for us?"
Liang Jun took a deep breath, looked at Shen Lie, raised his hands, and said respectfully: "Mr. Shen, please listen to my words."
"Okay." Shen Lie said.
"From the first time I met Mr. Shen, I was astonished that he was a man of heaven, not because of his appearance, but because of his elegance. Mr. Shen has a natural demeanor, no formalities, no false etiquette, frankness and no-nonsense, and he does not look down upon his beauty. Disdain for others is one of the characteristics of one's character."
"..."
"Secondly, the situation in Beijing was in turmoil at that time, Qingshan Academy was destroyed by a fire, and Dongping University was crumbling in the dangerous sea. Shen Langjun had stayed out of the situation for several months, picking up the idle things, like a dragon swimming in the turbulent sea, but he did not Watching from the sidelines and being willing to lend a helping hand in emergencies is the strategy and the way."
"Third, the world is ignorant, and their words are as cold as three winters. They treat Mr. Shen harshly, avoid you, laugh at you, fool you, and doubt you. Mr. Shen is unmoved, far-reaching and open-minded, neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor impetuous. , this is the degree of salvation."
"To sum up the second and third points, Mr. Shen is still willing to take action despite being criticized by the world. This is benevolent."
"Not to mention essays, martial arts, etiquette, and trustworthiness, Mr. Shen is all of the highest quality! Mr. Shen is simple in his way, bright in the moon and clear in the wind, and does not follow the world. Liang has determined that he is willing to follow Mr. Shen to the death. ! It has nothing to do with future honor, disgrace, wealth, fame or reputation. I just want to be open-minded and like-minded!"
He spoke in one breath without any pause, and the whole hall fell silent.
Ji Xiahe was the first to break the silence: "Awesome! It's really awesome! Brother Liang's words are like pouring down a gorge and flowing into a river, it's really wonderful!"
After saying that, Ji Xiahe looked at Shen Lie: "Brother Shen!"
Shen Lie looked back at him, his face calm, but he felt a rare sense of surprise in his heart.
The most difficult thing to find in the world is the word "confidant". He had no memory of whether he had met Liang Jun before, but he could say so much. It was really shocking for Shen Lie, who had only a few close friends.
"Master, I've made this friend!" Dai Yu rarely spoke at such times, and he couldn't help it now.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "If Brother Liang wants to stay, then he will stay. If he wants to leave at any time, then he will leave. Just stay free by my side. There are not many rules."
Liang Jun was overjoyed. He lifted his robe and was about to kneel down. Shen Lie stepped forward to support him: "There is no need to kneel down."
Dai Yu and Zhai Jinsheng also came out to stop him almost at the same time.
"No, no, no!" Dai Yu shouted, "Don't do this!"
"this……"
"Miss Ah Li doesn't like to kneel down and worship, and she doesn't like to divide people into three, five, and six grades, and my young master doesn't like it either," Dai Yu said.
Liang Jun nodded and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Shen to Miss Ali..."
"You just came here and you started gossiping!" Dai Yu also chuckled.
Seeing Shen Lie's "friendly" gaze, Dai Yu looked like he had done something wrong: "I didn't say anything, young master."
Everyone else laughed.
"From now on, we are our own family!" Dai Yu patted Liang Jun on the arm, "We are all brothers from now on! Master!" Dai Yu turned to Shen Lie, "I will take Liang Jun to introduce them!"
Shen Lie nodded: "I'll go find General Lin first."
"Um!"
Apart from the groom, there are mainly three people who have traveled with Liang Jun over the years.
The groom's name is Liang Fan, and the other three are named Xingzhi, Pingan, and Pingyuan.
Now that he is settled by Shen Lie's side, Liang Jun is ready to send Xingzhi back to deliver a message to his family.
It's a bit complicated to introduce the manpower on Shen Lie's side.
Not everyone is by Shen Lie's side now. During the dozens of days of traveling from Zuilu to Tanzhou, Shen Lie has deployed people along the way.
Among them, more than thirty people followed Du Xuan to Hengxiang.
After entering Tanzhou, the secret guards were also dispersed, including those who followed Pingyue Feng to "explore the road".
Except for Dai Yu and Zhai Jinsheng, there were only thirteen others left beside Shen Lie. Dai Yu introduced them one by one, focusing on Ye Jin and Li Fei.
Dai Yu tried Ping An and Ping Yuan, but they didn't have much skill at all, so Dai Yu planned to leave Ye Jin by Liang Jun's side to protect him.
Then, Liang Jun asked about the current situation in Tanzhou.
Dai Yu couldn't tell what the situation was, because there was really no situation at all.
Big battles can't start, but small battles keep happening. It's all about you sneaking up on me and me plotting against you.
While talking, Dai Yu suddenly remembered the "robbery" thing that Ji Xiahe had mentioned in the morning.
"The young master intends to take over Mountain View City," Dai Yu said. "The young master never talks casually. Once he says it, he may really have this intention."
"Mountain View? Where is it?"
"On the southeast side, there is no rush right now. Apart from the wars in the Lin family, the young master also plans to go to the Hechuan Wasteland."
"He Chuan." Liang Jun thought of Long Yuejie's words.
Speaking of which, Liang Jun remembered that he had not mentioned to them that Long Yuejie was his cousin, so he told Dai Yu and emphasized one thing again and again: "You must not believe everything I say about my cousin."
"Can't believe it?"
"She loves to tease people and lie," Liang Jun took a deep breath, "I really don't want others to know that she is my sister. Now that I have this relationship, I am afraid that she will cause trouble. , so I rely on Brother Dai to scold him and drive him away! Don’t save face for me!"
"It's still like this." Dai Yu couldn't understand.
"Oh, by the way," Liang Jun took out a bag of candy from his sleeve, "Brother Dai, this is osmanthus candy."
"sugar?"
"...Haha," Liang Jun smiled, picked up one and put it in his mouth, then passed it forward, "Here, brother Dai, eat one as a favor."
"I haven't eaten candy for a long time, haha!" Dai Yu picked up a candy embarrassedly, "Isn't this for children?"
Putting the candy into his mouth, a refreshing sweetness with mint filled the air. Dai Yu felt goosebumps rising. He couldn't tell whether he liked it or not, but it was sweet.
"When I am chewing candy, my thoughts come to mind and I have many ideas. I have loved eating it since I was a child," Liang Jun put away the rest and said with a smile, "I have rarely eaten candy since I left Beijing to find Mr. Shen. , just waiting to keep this wonderful taste of eating sweets now, hahaha!"
"Ah?? How long did you have to cover this candy?!" Dai Yu was shocked.
"Hahahaha!" Liang Jun laughed, "Fresh, fresh, why don't I give some away to some children I meet on the road!"
