Li Bai's character was as wild and uninhibited as his poetry, but he was by no means indifferent to fame and fortune. In fact, he really wanted to be an official and make a difference in the officialdom.

Most of the poems he wrote throughout his life were very freehand, unrestrained and majestic, and they often revealed a free and aloof attitude towards life. It is difficult to see from his poems that he had a deep obsession with officialdom. The world always thinks

He is born not to be restrained, to be humbled, to be free and romantic, and to love great rivers and mountains.

However, the fact is that his chicness, his freedom and romance, his travels to great places after leaving the palace, and his life as a man are so free and easy and comfortable. In the end, there is only one reason, "there is no way".

His only experience as an official was that he lived in the palace and had no ambitions. He didn't even resemble a human being. Li Longji just regarded him as a pet.

Li Bai had to leave officialdom gracefully and become a wild and uninhibited poet who traveled around the world. However, being an official was still his most coveted ambition, his inner demon and obsession.

Before the rebels were defeated, Li Bai actually appeared in Jinyang City, which was occupied by the rebels. His whereabouts revealed a strange smell.

Feng Yu stared at him dumbfounded and said nothing for a long time.

After a long time, Feng Yu couldn't help but said: "Do you know me or not?"

Li Bai still kept his posture, laughing, and the smell of wine in his mouth made Feng Yu want to vomit.

"Young boy, you bastard who dares to pee in my wine jar, I will never forget you even if you turn into ashes."

Feng Yu said in surprise: "Just now in front of Shi Siming..."

Li Bai sneered: "Do you really want me to recognize you in front of Shi Siming? You and Gu Qing are both from Shiqiao Village. Just this sentence will kill you without a burial place."

Feng Yu understood and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Master Taibai, for saving your life. I can't thank you enough."

Li Bai shook his head, looked Feng Yu up and down, stroked his beard and smiled: "When I was in Shiqiao Village, I didn't realize that the young man was a person. He lurked behind enemy lines, endured humiliation, and actually became the left prime minister of the rebels. Not bad, not bad

.”

Feng Yu blinked and said with a smile: "How did Taibai layman know that Wansheng was lurking behind enemy lines? Maybe Wansheng had already defected to the rebels."

Li Bai chuckled and said: "You were nervous and flustered in front of Shi Siming just now. You hid your whole face behind Shi Siming for fear that I would recognize you. This guilty look does not look like someone who has devoted himself to the rebels. I have lived for most of my life."

If you don't have this kind of vision in your life, your life will be in vain."

Feng Yu bowed his head to Li Bai and said, "Taibai layman has a keen eye, and Wansheng is taught. If layman Taibai hadn't been astute and intelligent today, Wansheng would have been taken to prison and tortured."

Li Bai stared into his eyes and said, "Are you following Gu Qing's order to lurk behind enemy lines?"

"Yes, before An Lushan raised his army, Brother Gu had already noticed signs of rebellion in An Lushan. He ordered Wansheng to infiltrate the rebels as a son of a Yizhou merchant and make friends with Shi Siming and An Qingxu, waiting for the opportunity.

.”

Li Bai's eyes flashed and he said: "I heard that An Lushan died in an assassination. I'm afraid this matter has something to do with you, right?"

Feng Yu smiled faintly and said: "Wansheng secretly planned it, and Li Twelve Niang personally assassinated him."

Li Bai's eyes lit up and he said: "Good! Young hero, brave and resourceful. Shiqiao Village is really a place of outstanding people. Not only did Gu Qing come out, but Feng Yu also came out. He should have stayed in Shiqiao Village longer."

Day, so that I can have a good time making friends with all the young heroes."

Feng Yu blinked and showed a naughty look: "It's not too late to make friends with Wan Sheng now. As long as Taibai layman no longer cares about me peeing in your wine jar, we can still be close friends."

Li Bai laughed loudly and said: "Okay, today you and I will discuss our friendship again. It is not a missed opportunity. Those who have been friends with me for many years are Gu Qing before me and Feng Yu after me. They are all heroes in the world. Li Taibai can have two of them as friends."

, the good fortune of this life should be paid to a close friend who has forgotten his years. How can a happy event be without wine? Let’s go, let’s go and drink!”

Feng Yu immediately led Li Bai towards his mansion.

Walking out of the alley, Li Bai's demeanor changed again. As he walked, he looked at the sky and his nostrils at the ground, with a look of arrogance clearly written on his face, which was very consistent with his reputation as a famous scholar and madman.

Feng Yu half-bowed, with a false smile on his face, and diligently led the way.

Returning to his house, Feng Yuping retired and took Li Bai to the backyard room. Before sitting down, Feng Yu carefully inspected the front and back of the house. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping and watching, he ordered someone to serve wine.

.

Li Jianjiu was dressed in plain clothes and entered the house carrying a wine jar.

Li Bai quickly glanced at her, then looked at Feng Yu, and said with a smile: "Is this young lady also capable of killing people?"

Feng Yu hurriedly introduced: "This is Li Twelve Niang's disciple, Li Jianjiu."

Li Bai suddenly realized, showing respect and said: "It turns out that she is a disciple of the Twelve Niangs. The Twelve Niangs are a heroine. The heroes of the world are ashamed of themselves. She is the most amazing woman I admire most in my life."

Li Jianjiu pursed his lips and smiled, and after making a blessing ceremony to Li Bai, he silently exited the house and patrolled around the house alone in case there were ears in the partition wall.

The two people in the room raised their glasses and were about to drink. Li Bai suddenly stopped, glanced at the wine cup and said suspiciously: "This wine... you didn't pee in it, did you?"

Feng Yu said sternly: "When I peed in your wine jar, I was still a boy at that time. The boy urinated a lot, and I was here to replenish your body. Now... well, I am no longer a boy when I think about it.

Melancholy."

Li Bai was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "After so many years, you are still the same little bastard."

Feng Yu said with a playful smile: "If Wansheng doesn't have a bit of a bad temper in this job, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for a day."

Li Bai's expression straightened, and he lowered his voice and said: "Young juniors are lurking behind enemy lines, so they must also need talents around them, right? When planning the assassination of An Lushan, without Li Twelve Niang's extraordinary skills, your plan may not be successful...

…”

Feng Yu's eyes flashed and he smiled and said: "What Master Taibai means is..."

Li Bai took a deep breath and said: "Li is not only good at writing poetry and drinking, but also good at killing people. You need me."

Feng Yu said with a smile: "Taibai layman, don't make trouble. You are a famous person in this world. How can I let you do such a dangerous thing in your late life? If Brother Gu finds out, he will not spare me."

Li Bai sighed sadly: "Li is already at the age of knowing his destiny. His life has been wasted and he has no use except writing poems. Now that the world is in turmoil and the people are displaced, Li wants to do something for the people and make a contribution to the court."

, to fulfill my ambition to be an official in this life, young man, can you understand?"

Feng Yu nodded: "It's understandable, but it's not necessary. Brother Gu is now an important minister of the imperial court. Due to the friendship between Taibai and Brother Gu, Brother Gu will definitely arrange an official position for Taibai when he goes to Chang'an. Why should you risk it?"

Take unnecessary risks to gain fame?"

Li Bai sneered: "Do you think Li is the kind of shameless person who relies on begging and friendship to get an official position?"

"Well, I have absolutely no intention of doing so."

"If Li could save face, he wouldn't have resigned in despair. I can gain the fame I want myself without having to beg others for mercy and charity."

Feng Yu hesitated for a long time and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder about layman Taibai's skills..."

Li Bai glanced sideways at him and sneered: "You are only higher than Li Twelve Niang. I can kill a hundred people like you in a moment, just like killing a hundred dogs."

Feng Yu: “…………”

Don't argue with a wine putty, don't argue with a wine putty...

After reciting a few words silently in his mind, Feng Yu took a deep breath and said with his usual expression: "If Taibai layman insists on making meritorious service to the court, please stay in Jinyang. Sooner or later there will be a chance."

Li Bai was overjoyed, but he still stroked his gray beard reservedly in front of the younger generation, and said proudly: "In this case, Li owes you a favor. If someone kills you in the future, I will help you avenge him."

Feng Yu just nodded, then he felt something was wrong and couldn't help but said: "If someone kills me, shouldn't I be protected? Why did he jump directly to avenge me?"

Li Bai glanced sideways at him and said, "You and your enemy fell into the water at the same time. Did you choose to save yourself, or did you choose to kill the enemy in the water?"

Feng Yu's body trembled: "Of course you save yourself, you can kill the enemy only if you stay alive."

Li Bai said slowly: "So, you save yourself, and I will help you kill your enemies. Is there any problem?"

Feng Yu was stunned by Li Bai's divine logic and remained silent for a long time.

If you think about it carefully, this logic is so impeccable.

Feng Yu immediately decided to coax Li Bai for the time being. When it came time to actually kill someone, he would not be able to rely on this romantic celebrity with his unique mind. Whoever believed him would die.

Chang'an City.

Gu Qing was carefully reading a military report from Hebei word for word.

The military report was sent by someone from Shen Tian. It described in detail how Shen Tian's 10,000 cavalrymen would operate in enemy-occupied areas after crossing the Yellow River north, how they would ambush a small group of rebels, how they would raid the city, etc.

Overall, Shen Tian's performance was remarkable, and he executed everything meticulously in accordance with the strategic intentions explained by Zhao Qing.

Shen Tian is a qualified soldier, and he knows the meaning of the word "obey" on the battlefield.

Gu Qing read the military report several times and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Shen Tian did a good job. When he returns in triumph, he will definitely ask the emperor to commend him for his merits and rewards."

Duan Wuji on the side said softly: "General Shen has great merits. What is rare is that he knows how to adapt to changes on the battlefield and leads a lone army behind enemy lines to achieve such a record. He can take on a big responsibility."

Gu Qing nodded and said: "These ten thousand cavalry have played a big role. Recently I heard that several groups of messengers came from the north to discuss the surrender with the emperor. This is the psychological pressure Shen Tian put on Shi Siming, forcing him to do what he did.

What did you order?"

Duan Wuji hesitated and said: "My lord, Shi Siming's surrender is not a good thing for our Anxi Army..."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "It is a good thing for the people in the world. At least the war between the north and the south is over. The people can resume their days of living and working in peace and contentment. There will not be so many innocent people dying in the war. Since we entered the customs to suppress the rebellion, we have gone through

Isn't the original intention of many large and small wars to end the war and allow the people to return to a peaceful life? Otherwise, why are we fighting so hard? For the emperor's country and country? Haha."

Duan Wuji said with admiration: "My father-in-law always thinks far-sighted and has far-reaching intentions. His students are not as good as him."

After a pause, Duan Wuji said worriedly: "But Shi Siming is a treacherous person, and his surrender is not sincere. I am afraid he will rebel in the future, and I must be on guard."

Gu Qing said nonchalantly: "As long as he is willing to surrender, I will have a way to kill him once and for all. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Duan Wuji was shuddered, and then said excitedly: "If you get rid of Shi Siming and the world is at peace, then won't the next step be..."

Gu Qing glanced at him lightly and said: "Don't talk nonsense, such a big man can't keep his mouth shut?"
