Su Yun and Li Qing stood in the middle of the courtyard together. Little Niba stood at the door in fear, looking like he wanted to enter but didn't dare.
Just now, I went out to eat a piece of mooncake brought by Tudun'er. Because I was worried about the safety of the adults, I came back before finishing. Then I saw the lady and others in a daze in the yard.
But the look the middle-aged man gave me just now was indeed a bit scary.
Just like when a general glares at him on the battlefield, he is very majestic and oppressive.
Li Qing smiled and said: "This poem is very good. All the poems on the city wall just now are not as good as this poem."
"Su Lu, what's the name of this poem?"
Li Qing asked through the window.
Su Luxin thought that Niba was also making a fuss. Xiaoyun and Li Qing were in the yard, what's the fuss about.
"Quiet Night Thoughts"
Li Qing said simply and neatly: "I think it's better to call it Mid-Autumn Festival Huaiyuan."
Su Lu felt extremely unhappy when he heard this. Can I change this? Li Bai's grandson named him this name, and I didn't write it.
Impatiently pushing the door open, Su Lu told Little Niba: "Niba, go and get me some food. I must have slept all day, and my chest is pressed against my back from hunger."
Su Yun took Xiao Niba to get some food. Li Qing muttered a few quiet night thoughts, turned around and went out excitedly.
"I'll go to the city wall to show Lao Tang and those Jinshi scholars what good poetry is."
Su Lu felt bad, he copied other people's poems, and he was going to be blamed again.
But in this shitty place, there is no mobile phone, no TV, no Internet, no news. All I have left is this hobby of memorizing poetry. If I quit, how can I still live?
In the courtyard, only Su Lu and the middle-aged man in broad robes were left.
Su Lu casually sat down on the stone bench in the yard. The middle-aged man saw Su Lu sitting down and also sat down on the stone bench. He looked at Su Lu and said with a majestic expression.
"I am Li Dingyuan, and you are Su Lu?"
Su Lu raised his eyebrows: "Old Li, you are wrong. You have come to my house, and you still don't know that my name is Su Lu. Seeing that you came with Li Qing, you must be a close relative. Why?
No one has a bit of cleverness like Li Qing."
Li Dingyuan was speechless, tongue-tied and flushed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Su Lu glanced sideways at Li Dingyuan: "You are not mentally competent, Lao Li. Ordinarily, you are from a family of honoring relatives. Your ancestors relied on fighting to become an official. Whenever you are calm when facing important events, I only say a few words and you become red in the face."
, I’m afraid it’s not okay to fight.”
Li Dingyuan suddenly laughed and said casually: "You are right. My fighting skills are really not good, so I won't fight now."
Su Lu nodded, took the hot soup and noodle bowl from Xiao Niba, and gave the order:
"Bring this guy some tea. Niba, you are quite discerning. Why do you keep forgetting things lately?"
Little Niba panicked instantly: "This, this, sir, have I already shown it?"
Li Dingyuan interjected from the side and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. This kid is practicing the resurrection skill. If you practice the third level skill for a hundred days, your body will be tortured. It is normal for you to forget something."
Su Lu then remembered that Xiaoniba and the other beggars were practicing the resurrection technique. This technique did not require high qualifications, but high requirements for toughness. If one could not endure it, he would turn into ashes.
Su Lu held the steamed bun and looked at Li Dingyuan:
"From what I said, you must have practiced it before. Well, I have seen people who have practiced this technique. Is there any way to relieve Niba's pain?"
Li Dingyuan sneered when he heard this: "Of course there are ways to alleviate pain, but why should I give it to you?"
Hearing this, Su Lu put down the steamed buns, patted the table and said:
"Come on, come on, tell me, whether you want money or food, whether you want poetry or strategy, whether you want to make a fortune or build a country, whatever you can think of, I will get it for you."
Su Yun, who came in with tea, felt that his brother was not normal again. He also paid attention to the target when he was bragging. This Master Li was not an ordinary person.
"Brother, what are you doing on the table? Mr. Li didn't offend you."
Su Lu San San jumped down from the table and said with a smile: "I'm so excited. I heard that the resurgence skill can help relieve pain, so I wanted to make an equal exchange with Lao Li."
"Equal exchange?"
Li Dingyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Lu with a playful smile on his face:
"Well, that's right. Not only do you write good poems, but your level of refining and summarizing is also very good. You can stay calm when faced with big events and exchange things of equal value. These are all very good."
"I really have a mental method here. If you practice the Resurrection Technique and go through a special process, the possibility of achieving great success is still very high."
Su Yun next to him heard this and blessed Li Dingyuan: "Yun'er thanked you on behalf of Niba Erniu and the others."
Li Dingyuan narrowed his eyes:
"This is a secret that is not passed down in the imperial palace. I have paid a lot of money to learn this method. You just said that you can use the methods to build a country, make a fortune, and manage the country?"
Su Lu felt that he should be humble at this time. After all, the risk of boasting too much is too high.
Su Yun said next to him: "Er Niu, Xiao Si, and the others are tossing and turning every night, and they forget things very much. I gave you the wrong medicine today because Xiao Si and Er Niu forget things."
Su Lu shuddered. There were no servants at home, only Niba Erniu and the others were waiting on him. Thinking about forgetting to add salt to the dishes he would eat in the future, and adding arsenic to the rice, he had to get this trick.
"No matter how much you ask, Lao Li, as long as you think the price is right, I, Su Lu, will never give you a second thought."
Li Dingyuan pinched his chin, and his tone was full of playfulness: "If we talk about equivalent exchange, the poem "Silent Night" just now can also be regarded as this set of mentality, but it was before the transaction, so it doesn't count."
Su Lu was happy when he heard this, "It's easy. I'll make a few more songs for you, and I'll make sure they're no worse than Jingyesi."
Li Dingyuan was surprised, leaned forward, and finally resisted the urge to ask for a poem:
"No, there is already Jingyesi tonight. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival belongs to Jingyesi. There should not be other poems competing with Jingyesi."
"Let's talk about something else. Founding a country, getting rich, and running a strategy. You are a general yourself. You have been invincible in every battle since you joined the army. Your military strategy is also top-notch. Let's do it one by one."
"The poem has already said, let's establish the country. Come and comment on the establishment of the country. If you were the emperor of the Han Dynasty, how could you establish the country and govern the Han Dynasty well."
Su Lu looked at Li Dingyuan in surprise:
"Old Li, I have to explain this to you clearly. Conspiracy is a serious crime and will implicate the nine clans. If I give you an idea, it won't work. It's too dangerous. You can't do this."
Li Dingyuan snorted coldly: "My surname is Li, can you still not guess who I am?"
Su Lu looked at Li Dingyuan, analyzed it and said:
"Emperor? No, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, and the Xuan Mansion is at war. Even if the emperor wants to come, the courtiers will definitely not agree."
"Prince? You are not really the prince, are you?"
Li Dingyuan snorted coldly: "You are smart, kid."
Su Lu then said: "Then I will just say a few words casually, but please don't say anything else."
"The Han Kingdom is located in a land of hundreds of battles. To the north is Thule, where wars continue. To the south is the Tang Dynasty, Western Qin, and Eastern Qi. They are all prosperous and powerful countries. However, we, the Han Kingdom, are caught in the middle and struggle to survive."
Li Dingyuan's face turned gloomy and he sighed: "It's true. Every time I think about this, I can't sleep at night. Especially now, there's been a war at Tulkou in the north for more than half a year, but Lao Luo Du can't get down yet."
, I am worried."
Su Lu picked up the noodle bowl and started to drink the soup. Seeing Lao Li's appearance, he would have to praise him later. No, he should give him a good shake, otherwise it would be difficult to use this trick.
"The south is easy to deal with. We can make friends with distant people and attack close by. We can unite vertically and horizontally. However, the Western Qin is not in harmony with the Tang Dynasty. There is very little land bordering our country of Han. Furthermore, the Western Qin is poor and broken. So we sent envoys with the promise of huge profits. We will become each other's allies and horns, and we will work together."
Resist the Tang Dynasty."
Li Dingyuan's eyes narrowed: "Above the court, all the ministers said that Western Qin is a country that is good at war and a land of tigers and wolves. If we make a good relationship with it, we will probably find it difficult to satisfy our desires."
"The Tang Dynasty has been in the sacred land of the Central Plains for a long time. The country is rich and the people are strong, but they are hostile to it. If the Tang Emperor becomes angry, our country, Han, will be in danger."
Su Lu was ridiculous: "Did the minister say that by paying tribute to the Emperor of Tang and being a vassal, if you stay humble and act small, you will have a long-lasting good fortune for the country?"
I said, Lao Li, when the Tang army destroyed the Western Qin Dynasty and came to clean up my country of Han, the ministers continued to serve as vassals to the Tang Emperor. As for you, the prince, you were the leader of the city, and your family was uprooted."
Li Dingyuan suddenly stood up, his face as cold as water, and looked at Su Lu.
