"Brother Meng, I'm sorry, can I leave this time?" Li Bai started to feel a little proud.
"Hahaha, of course. I, the Mengshan people, keep my word. If my wind and rain palm can't keep you this time, of course you can leave."
"Wind and Rain Palm! Meng Haoran's Wind and Rain Palm, the 813th ranked Wind and Rain Palm in Tangming Pavilion?" Li Bai asked in surprise. "Meng Haoran...Mengshanren...Mengshanren...Meng Haoran...Ah, are you Meng Haoran?"
?”
"Haha, I didn't expect you to know my name too. Yes, I am Meng Haoran, nicknamed Mengshanren."
"Ah, no wonder you can control both the wind and the rain! It turns out to be Meng Haoran, who is famous in the martial arts world!" Li Bai quickly came down from the air and gave Meng Haoran a compilation, "Brother Meng, I was really offensive just now, please don't
Sorry!"
"Li Bai, how can I be offended if you and I are competing in martial arts? But if I treat you to a drink and you don't appreciate it, it will really hurt my heart."
Li Bai thought of rejecting Meng Haoran three times and felt a little embarrassed, so he said: "Brother Meng, when you say this, Li Bai is really ashamed."
"There's no need to be ashamed, just go in and drink!" After saying that, Meng Haoran reached over, took Li Bai's hand and walked into the courtyard.
His pull seemed ordinary, but in fact he had used the power of the wind palm. Li Bai couldn't break free even if he wanted to, but he didn't intend to break free either. After all, at this point, it really couldn't be justified to refuse anymore.
Meng Haoran took Li Bai into the courtyard. The courtyard was full of various flowers and plants. It was early spring and they were blooming, and the fragrance of the flowers was overflowing.
The two walked through the winding stone path until they arrived at a small pavilion. In the center of the pavilion was a tea table carved from dead wood. There was a small stove on the tea table, and wine was being boiled on the stove.
The aroma of wine is astounding and lingers around.
"Li Bai, please sit down." Mengshan people personally brought Li Bai a round mahogany stool, invited him to sit down, and then poured him a glass of wine.
"Brother Meng, you're so polite." Li Bai was a little flattered.
"You are the distinguished guest of my Mengshan people, so of course you must treat me politely!" After saying that, Meng Haoran raised his glass and toasted Li Bai, and the two of them drank it down.
"It's great." Meng Haoran poured another glass of wine for Li Bai, "Li Bai, drink slowly, there are still twenty-nine glasses!"
"Brother Meng, do you really want me to drink thirty drinks with you?"
"Of course, when you meet a close friend over wine, of course you have to drink it to your heart's content!" After saying that, Meng Haoran had another drink with Li Bai.
"By the way, Li Bai, tell me what the friend you are looking for looks like, so I can arrange for the servants to find him."
"There's no need to look for her, Brother Meng. I'll tell you the truth. This friend of mine left a letter and ran away. She promised to come back in ten days. However, because we have many enemies, I'm worried about her meeting her, so I went out to look for her."
"Oh, so that's it. But today's world is in chaos, so you're right to be worried. You have many enemies at such a young age?"
"This is also helpless. It all started because of Lingyun Tao. Some people from the evil sect are worried about this heavenly skill and want to use the alchemy method to inherit it, so they are chasing us all the way."
"Huh, the martial arts world is disordered. Things like this are as numerous as a feather. The world is unfair and it is difficult for people to have peace."
"Therefore, I have long had the ambition to stabilize the Wulin and the country. I hope to gather some comrades and restore peace to the Wulin."
"Okay! Your ambition really impresses the people of Mengshan. If you are really determined, I am willing to help you!"
When Li Bai heard this, he was very happy. He thought that if an expert like Meng Haoran could help him, he would not have to worry about the big thing! So he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Meng helps me, which Li Bai couldn't ask for! Brother Meng is a great righteous man, so I thank you for this!"
"Don't thank me yet, I have a condition."
"What are the conditions? Brother Meng, please tell me."
"That is, you have to explain to me clearly how to determine the martial arts and the country, and I want to make sure that the person who is helping you is not a charlatan. Of course, you have to accompany me to drink for five days and five nights, and I want to listen to the truth after drinking."
When Li Bai heard this, he raised his glass to Meng Haoran and said, "Brother Meng, it's settled!"
Meng Haoran also raised his glass in reply: "It's a deal!"
The two looked at each other, laughed, and drank happily.
That day, the two of them talked about martial arts and drank happily until evening.
Li Bai was afraid that Sima Heng would be worried, so he asked the servants of the Meng Mansion to go to the inn to send a message to Sima Heng to meet at the Meng Mansion.
However, when the servant arrived at the inn, he learned that Sima Heng had reached a breakthrough in his internal strength and was unable to leave.
So Meng Haoran sent several servants to guard him and waited for Sima Heng to break through before meeting at the Meng Mansion.
After everything was arranged properly, Li Bai stayed in the Meng Mansion, drinking and talking with Meng Haoran about the situation in the martial arts and the principles of change every day.
Three days later, Meng Haoran admired Li Bai very much and decided to help Li Bai and work together for the martial arts.
Li Bai was very happy, so he had another big drink with him.
Over the past few days, the two of them drank more than a thousand cups of fine wine. Meng Haoran had been drunk several times, but Li Bai had never been drunk. Meng Haoran was very puzzled and asked the reason.
Li Bai laughed loudly: "I'm not afraid of Brother Meng's laughter. I've been drinking since I was a child and have developed a good capacity for drinking. I have never been drunk since I was ten years old, so I was nicknamed 'Li Buzui'."
"Li Buzui? Haha, I didn't expect you to have such a unique skill, I really admire you! By the way, do you have a family?"
"I haven't married yet."
When Meng Haoran heard this, his face showed joy and he said: "In that case, I have a woman I want to introduce to you."
After hearing this, Li Bai quickly waved his hands and said: "Brother Meng, please don't do it. Li Bai's ambition has not been realized, so why should he care about his family?"
"What you said is wrong. Confucius said: Cultivate oneself, harmonize one's family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. So marrying a wife will not affect your ambitions!"
"But... but..." Li Bai thought of Zi Yan, and did not want to hide Meng Haoran, so he continued: "But I have already fallen in love with someone."
"The one you like? Haha, you are indeed a passionate young man! But it doesn't matter, it's not an exaggeration for a man to have three wives and four concubines!"
"Brother Meng, I am a single-minded person and have never thought about the blessings of this group of people."
"Li Bai, don't refuse just yet. You must know that the person I am about to introduce is not only extraordinary in appearance, but also has a rich family background. I will definitely be able to help you realize your ambition!"
Hearing what Meng Haoran said, Li Bai became curious and asked: "Is it Miss He family who has such ability?"
"Xu Xuan, the granddaughter of Master Xu Yu, the Prime Minister of Emperor Gaozong!"
"Granddaughter of Master Xu Yu!" Li Bai once heard his master Zhao Rui mention the deeds of Master Xu Yu, saying that this person was a man of benevolence and generosity, and was known as a good official by the people.
At this time, Meng Haoran continued: "Li Bai, didn't you say that you want to apply for Yan's talk, seek the emperor's skills, and use his wisdom to serve as assistant to the emperor, so that the Huan District will be settled and Hai County will be unified? Official affairs, this Xu family will be settled
I can help you!"
Li Bai thought for a while, then waved his hand and said: "Brother Meng, after thinking about it, I still can't do anything that goes against the person I like. So, let's give up on this matter with Miss Xu!"
When Meng Haoran heard this, he was a little dissatisfied, "How can a man look forward and backward when doing things? How can he refuse when no one has seen him? I know this Miss Xu and she is definitely a match for you. Her father and I are both from Anlu and we are very familiar with each other. This matter
I make the decision, you can talk to Miss Xu first."
