The busy affairs of the state capital had just come to an end, and the spring plowing in the countryside was proceeding in an orderly manner. The little pigeon Cai Dabao came to Rangcheng again, and brought a sincere invitation from the king of Yueyang, Xiao Qing.
Just looking at Cai Dabao's hesitant expression, Li Tai guessed that there should be a new breakthrough in the upper reaches of the Han River. It happened that he had been able to find time to continue to deal with this matter recently, so he made some preparations.
, and then went south with Cai Dabao to meet King Yueyang.
This time the meeting was no longer on a sandbank. During the flood season, rivers surged and most of the riverbank land was submerged. In order to ensure confidentiality, the meeting could only be arranged on a large ship sailing into the Xian River.
Looking at this large-scale ship, Li Tai was quite envious. When he was fighting against the Eastern Wei Dynasty in Heyang, he had dreamed of owning such a big ship and destroying the opponent directly on the river. When he stepped on the ship, it was indeed
It is much more stable than ordinary boats.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time. Commander Li, you are even more charming than before! Although I have missed seeing you for a long time, I have no choice but to live in the mortal world. After all, I am not open-minded and comfortable enough."
As soon as Li Tai and his subordinates boarded the ship, King Yueyang, who had been waiting on the deck for a long time, strode forward to greet him. He also raised his hand to pat Li Tai's shoulder very familiarly, but he was slapped outside.
On the arm armor covered by the robe, both parties smiled tacitly and awkwardly.
Li Tai is not a heroic husband who doesn't care about life and death. He came to the other party's ship as requested. He didn't know if there were five hundred swordsmen on the ship, so of course he had to do enough security. He was accompanied by more than a thousand elite cavalry and three men.
A hundred people boarded the ship with him, and the rest stayed on the shore. As long as King Yueyang disappeared from his sight for more than half a quarter of an hour during the meeting, he would be ready to kill people with knives.
"Your Majesty, when you invite me this time, you must have some rare personnel to introduce, right?"
After Li Tai greeted King Yueyang, he asked with a smile.
After hearing this, King Yueyang had a smile on his face. He raised his hand and motioned for Li Tai to follow him to the cabin. He smiled and said as he walked: "I knew I couldn't hide it from Governor Li. Today I really want to introduce you to someone."
This is a rare and distinguished guest. Governor Li and I are the landlords, so we must treat this distinguished guest and make him feel at home!"
After Li Tai heard this, he saw King Yueyang's sullen and showy look, and he understood in his heart. When he walked into the cabin, he saw a tall and straight middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous brocade robe.
Although his face was a little haggard, his expression was calm and composed. After seeing King Yueyang and Li Tai entering the cabin, he took a slight step forward, first gestured to King Yueyang with a fist, and then looked at Li Tai with a look in his eyes.
There was a flash of surprise, and then he said: "This gentleman must be the distinguished guest that the king wanted to introduce to the official in the preface, right? Ankang Li Qianzhe, what is the name of the unknown gentleman?"
When Li Tai heard about Li Qianzhe's life, he had already imagined him as a slippery, arrogant, drunken dandy, but when he saw his image like this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
This Li Qianzhe's appearance is not that outstanding, but his demeanor is not bad, and his voice is calm and powerful. Before King Yueyang opened his mouth, he introduced himself and asked Li Tai's identity. It can be seen that although he is not free at the moment, he is not a character who can be manipulated by others.
.
"In Li Boshan, Longxi Province, I have often heard that General Li was famous in his hometown. Now I can see his face during the introduction of the king. He really lives up to his reputation. I am very happy."
Li Tai looked at Li Qianzhe and said with a smile, well concealing his desire to blast this guy whose family owned a mine and had a lot of ostentation.
"Li, Li Boshan... there seems to be no such thing in the country. Dare I ask, dare I ask if it is Guanxi..."
When Li Qianzhe heard Li Tai's self-introduction, his expression suddenly lost his composure. He subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Li Tai and King Yueyang frequently with fear.
Seeing this guy's reaction, King Yueyang couldn't help but laugh too. He pointed at Li Tai and said to Li Qianzhe: "General Li heard it right and thought it right. This man is a famous general of Wei State with outstanding achievements." , Grand Governor of Xihe Gong Li. It is a great honor for me to introduce you two celebrities from Lingbei and Shannan to meet here today."
"This, this...why on earth did your Majesty bring his subordinates here? I have heard about the great name of Governor Li, but we have different effects on each other and are not the same. Even if we are strangers, I will not regret it!"
Obviously, Li Tai's identity appeared here, which had a huge impact on Li Qianzhe. He had not lost control of himself when he was kidnapped by King Yueyang, but now he was a little panicked and couldn't understand Yueyang at all. What kind of medicine was being sold in Wang and Li Tai's gourd? They claimed to be ministers of Nanliang and expressed their opinions righteously.
Hearing what Li Qianzhe said, King Yueyang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but before he could speak, Li Tai raised his hand to stop him.
"General Li is loyal and consistent, which is indeed admirable. But I don't seem to have done anything to harm your country, which makes people hate you. Maybe I admire Liang Jiazhang and want to make a secret. General Li, you are eager to express your position. "Isn't it inappropriate to refuse people thousands of miles away, both for public and private purposes?"
Li Tai looked at Li Qianzhe, who looked wary, and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Li Qianzhe's eyes showed a little confusion. After a while, he said again: "So Governor Li came here for Nantou? But what does this have to do with me? I am a general and have no It is my authority to intervene in this matter..."
"This is not the case for the time being, so I just want to tell General Li that the world is unpredictable. Don't be short-sighted. If you miscalculate, you may hurt others and yourself. It will be too late to regret."
Li Tai sighed again and said, it seems that King Yueyang just kidnapped people here and has not conducted in-depth and effective communication, so this Li Qianzhe is on guard.
"Thank you very much, Governor Li, for your advice. I will taste it carefully when I have free time. I hope it will be of benefit to me for the rest of my life."
Li Qianzhe replied calmly, and then turned his eyes to King Yueyang and said: "I have the liberty to ask you again, why did you bring me here? If I offend you unintentionally, it will be a sin." It is so serious that the law of the country cannot tolerate it, and it must be lynched and killed. Please tell me clearly. I know that there is a right way to die, and I will die without regrets!"
When King Yueyang heard Li Qianzhe's question, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face. Although he could do this, he was still embarrassed to speak directly to Li Qianzhe to persuade him, hoping that he would join in the crime.
Therefore, this shamelessness is really a stumbling block on the road to success. Seeing that King Yueyang had reached this stage, Li Tai just wanted to keep the door ajar, so the evildoers had no choice but to do it themselves.
"General Li, there is no need to rush to question the king. You are in this situation today because of my repeated requests to the king. The reason is also very simple. A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade. General Li, your family has been living in Ankang for generations.
Isn't it natural that I have been nourished by the soil and water of a place, but never thought about benefiting others and sharing it with others, so that I have suffered today's disaster?"
Li Tai looked at Li Qianzhe and said with a smile.
"For generations, my family has guarded the hometown and protected the local people from the Northern invaders. I have been heard in the village and protected by virtue. Now everything I get is inspected and taught by the supreme leader, and the village recommends it! Governor Li laughed at me because of this. I'm afraid it's not true.
Even if this qualification can take my life, it cannot hide the truth!"
After hearing this, Li Qianzhe said coldly, and his eyes became sharp.
After Li Tai heard this, he simply drew out his saber and slashed it straight at Li Qianzhe. The man was not afraid at all and just closed his eyes and waited for death.
"Boshan, wait a minute..."
King Yueyang was naturally shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.
Naturally, Li Tai would not kill Li Qianzhe. The sword hovered just a few inches beside his neck, and then he laughed. He turned to look at King Yueyang, who was still a little frightened, and said: "Your Majesty is indeed aware of this. If it were not so pure,
How can the most brave men conspire with each other? The king strongly recommended the former, but I still have doubts. Now that General Li has such character, it is indeed admirable!"
When Li Qianzhe heard this, he slowly opened his eyes. Before he could raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, he looked at Li Tai suspiciously, his thoughts still confused and unable to sort out a clue.
Li Tai gave Zhang Shinu a look, and Zhang Shinu swayed his body sideways. Then he turned the sword around the blade, thrust the handle into Li Qianzhe's hand, and said at the same time: "The former
It was indeed rude to invite you, and it was normal for General Li to have hatred in his heart. Just now, he provoked him with bad words, which offended him even more.
It is difficult to ask for forgiveness because of love, but I still hope to get to know and work with General Li. Please hold this knife, General. If the General is willing to be my friend, please cut off his arms and legs to vent your anger. If you still hate me deeply, please stab him in the chest.
Come! I sincerely want to gather the strong men to make a big plan, but now I hurt the feelings of the strong men because of my unsatisfactory words. I will not forgive you, and I will die unjustly!"
"This this……"
Li Qianzhe escaped from death, but Shang Zi was still undecided. He lowered his eyes and looked at the handle of the knife that Li Tai had thrust into his hand. He subconsciously flicked it with his fingers, and then raised his eyes to look at Li Tai with a sincere expression on his face. The palm of his hand was like
He jerked back as if he had touched live coals, and his body also took two quick steps back.
His eyes quickly glanced at the dull-faced King Yueyang, and then his knees softened and he bowed to Li Taidun's first work: "I'm so lucky for you, a humble man from the countryside, to be so sincerely invited by Governor Li.
, if I am still withdrawn and refuse, how can everyone in the world not laugh at me?"
Li Tai dropped his sword at his feet, leaned over and held Li Qianzhe's arms, then looked at him and laughed and said: "Before, we were strangers to each other, and we treated each other harshly, but now General Li is treating me with great kindness.
Preface: Things are unpredictable, so don’t be short-sighted. General, do you believe it?”
