Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 697 Famous throughout the world

While Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of War in Nanjing, was talking a lot in Dong Mansion, Zuo Lengchan, the old mountain chief, was also sitting in his room.

He seemed calm and unfazed, and his uneasy mood was revealed only when he glanced at the door from time to time.

Not long after, he heard a "squeak" and he couldn't help but stood up suddenly.

Upon closer inspection, the wind blew open the window. The whistling cold wind blew in, making the somewhat dizzy old mountain leader sober up.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself: "As I get older, I'm not as free and easy as before! It's true that when you ask for something, you are afraid of something, and then you worry about gains and losses!"

The old mountain leader shook his head ridiculously, stood up slowly, walked to the window and closed the window that was blown open by the wind.

Unexpectedly, I saw a person rushing over in a hurry. The old mountain leader took a closer look under the bright moonlight and saw that the person coming was not Huang Deqing, the disciple he had been waiting for for a long time. Who was it?

"What's wrong?" Lao Shanzhang had just asked, but he couldn't help but remember that it would be a bad idea to spread the word, so he added, "Let's go into the house and talk!"

"Mountain Chief?" Huang Deqing did not expect to see the Mountain Chief under such circumstances. He quickly bowed to the window outside the door, opened the door and walked in.

The old mountain leader quickly closed the window and door tightly, and then asked: "What happened?"

"King Shun won a great victory. The officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses. One of the three generals died, one surrendered and one escaped. All three deputy generals died in battle. All two generals surrendered to King Shun! As for the whereabouts of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, his whereabouts are still unknown and have not yet been discovered!" Huang Deqing hurriedly said Like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, he told the old mountain leader everything in detail.

After finishing speaking, Youzi couldn't suppress his excitement and asked tentatively: "Master, is this a bet we won?"

"What kind of bet? Are you a gambler like me when you become a master? I have no knowledge and no skills!" Hearing this, the old mountain leader couldn't help but reprimanded, "The correct way to say it is that King Shun has his destiny, and the young disciples disperse. !”

"High, really high!" Huang Deqing said quickly and skillfully after hearing this.

"Get out!" The old mountain leader obviously didn't want to accept this, and instead looked at Huang Deqing.

It wasn't until he looked at Huang Deqing that he felt a little hairy, and then he said: "Your hidden skills will never come to light. And if you don't know how to restrain yourself, sooner or later it will be a disaster!"

"Then, Master..." Huang Deqing asked for advice a little uneasily after hearing this.

"Let's do this. I'll edit a book in a while, and you can bring it to an old friend for me. If you can use your sharp tongue to talk about how to serve as King Shun, it can be considered a meritorious service, and you may be fine!" Lao Shanzhang suggested. road.

"Ah? Master, before, King Shun and you put on a show of buying horse bones for thousands of gold. Your 'horse bones' were sold at a good price, but you didn't attract any real 'thousand-mile horses' to bid for them! Even Shun! You, Wang and Master, are powerless, so what can I, an ordinary disciple, do?" Huang Deqing couldn't help but feel confident after hearing this.

"Idiot, this moment is the same as that moment!" The old mountain leader couldn't help but cursed when he heard this, hating the iron that cannot become steel. "In the past, although King Shun had a great reputation, many stupid people regarded him as a bandit!"

"Now that King Shun has defeated his officers and soldiers, it can be seen from the Henan Prefecture. There is land and people, and you are the king. How can the talented and learned people in the Central Plains not be moved?"

"Isn't this just following the wind?" Huang Deqing couldn't help but sarcastically said.

"How can a boat sail a thousand miles without the wind to steer it? How can it travel thousands of miles? Nor is it afraid of strong winds and high waves, which may destroy the boat and kill people? How much more important is it to operate a boat like this, how much more important is it to be a human being?" Lao Shanzhang reprimanded, "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the way of man. How can it be normal to do the opposite?"

"When you meet my old friend this time, please treat him as a brother. You can say good things to King Shun for me. You can say that King Shun advocates righteousness in the world and wants to bring peace to the world. You should be able to say that this person is here. .”

"Is it that simple?" Huang Deqing couldn't believe it.

"What should you say? Do you want to say that King Shun's rebellion is better now? We don't have to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and go through all the hardships to take the illusory imperial examination. It's not as fast as stealing wealth and wealth?" Shan Chang blew his beard angrily and stared.

"I don't dare, I don't dare... Uh, no, no! I'll just say whatever you ask me to say!" Huang Deqing was startled and suddenly frightened.

The old mountain leader was still worried and warned: "This person is a righteous man and has all-round talents in both civil and military affairs. If what you say touches this person, even if you make mistakes in the future, he will try his best to help you. Just be kind to him." For it!"

After hearing this, Huang Deqing hurriedly thanked him profusely. He traveled all night and arrived at Mengjin in the morning of the next day.

He inquired for a long time, found out the way, and then headed all the way to the two locust trees.

This pair of locust trees was the hometown of Wang Duo, a literati with whom Zhang Shun first came into contact, and whose writing style was quite prosperous.

It didn't take much effort for Huang Deqing to find the residence of Lao Shanchang's old friend.

Huang Deqing tidied up a little and then knocked gently on the courtyard door.

"Please come in!" an old voice responded.

Huang Deqing hurriedly pushed the door open and came in. He saw an energetic old man in washed white clothes. He asked in a loud voice: "I wonder what the guest is in trouble? But you want to see me?"

"I wonder if Li Yingwu is here? I came here to see him on the orders of my master!" Huang Deqing asked respectfully.

"Oh? But Mr. Zuo, the headmaster of Songyang Academy? My grandson went to help the neighbor in charge of weddings and weddings. I don't know what happened? Can you tell me?" The old man asked the question.

"This..." Huang Deqing never expected that he would encounter such a situation. He didn't even meet Li Yingwu and told his grandfather that he wanted to persuade others to become thieves. How could he say this?

"A man should act openly and openly. Why are you hesitating? Is there something you shouldn't do in the eyes of others?" The old man's eyes widened, and Huang Deqing was frightened.

"Tell me, I can still handle Ying Wu's master!"

"Uh... that's what happened!" Seeing that he couldn't hide, Huang Deqing could only grit his teeth and said, "My master once had an old relationship with Li Yingwu, but now he wants to share the wealth with Brother Yingwu!"

"No reward for no merit, I'm afraid this wealth comes from a wrong way!" The old man sneered.

"It is necessary to be honest, but there are some taboos!" Huang Deqing gritted his teeth after hearing this, "My master is now a guest of King Shun. Sensing the talent of the fifth brother, he specially sent me to invite him."

"Do you know who I am?" The old man couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "I have always been upright, jealous of evil, and known for my faith. You actually persuaded my grandson to be a thief. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Huang Deqing couldn't help but trembled when he heard the words, and quickly showed his master's favor and said: "It's a matter of two or two whether it will succeed or not. The old gentleman is the master's old friend, and you should know what kind of person the master is!"

After hearing the words, the old man pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Forget it, for the sake of the old mountain leader, I will give you a share of the credit!"

"Then King Shun rose from Mengjin, and he also counted Mengjin. He did not torture or kill, he had strict military discipline, and he should have the heart to promote justice in the world!"

"I'm so old that I don't have the strength to follow you. My grandson Ying Wu is still young, so let's go with you for now!"

"Huh?" Huang Deqing originally thought that it would be good if he could save his life this time, but he never expected such changes.

"Luoyang is only twenty or thirty miles away from Mengjin. How can I not know what is going on? I have admired King Shun for a long time and wish I could meet him. Now that I heard that King Shun won the victory, I was overjoyed. I also guessed that it was Zhao Yutou himself. Come and invite me, and I’d like to send you a letter from the old master.”

"Unexpectedly, in order to give you a share of credit, the old mountain leader asked you to come here day and night, so let me help you!"
