"The county government office is simple, the conditions are limited, and the hospitality is not good. Brother Wenchang, please forgive me." After getting along for an hour, Zhou Yu, Li Li and the others became familiar with each other.But the etiquette due to the gentry is essential, so as the guest and host, he naturally asked for a few polite words after the banquet to show his sincerity in reception.

Li Li sits first on the left, Zhou Yu sits first on the right, and the two sit facing each other. Lu Su and Huan Fei sit behind Li Li in turn.

Hearing Zhou Yu's humble and polite words, Li Li smiled and said, "Gong Jin is too polite. There is no reason for such hospitality. Don't be so polite, Gong Jin, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"

"Hehehe! Brother Wenchang speaks quickly, he is really a bold person, and I have the same temperament as Zhou Yu, and we are very close!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Immediately, he held up a teacup to invite: "Brother Wenchang and I rarely meet, we must have a good talk today, brother Wenchang, please drink some tea."

After speaking.Zhou Yu took a sip of the fragrant tea, but from the corner of his eyes, he was always paying attention to Li Li's every move.

In fact, from the moment he first met Li Li, Zhou Yu has been observing Li Li carefully, from his appearance to his speech and manner, not letting go of every subtle expression and movement.It is really observant and meticulous.

After some observation, Zhou Yu secretly admired: "There are no worthy men under a great name, and Li Li from Xiliang really deserves his reputation!"

But Li Li was tall and strong, with a handsome and resolute appearance.Sharp eyebrows and star eyes, rounded nose, red lips and white teeth, wide ears.Yintang is plump, with ruddy cheeks and a tuft of green beard under his jaw.He became more and more calm and steady, with a faint smile on his face all the time.When speaking, the smile became more and more warm and heart-warming.People can't help but want to get close to him, and people can feel his frankness and kindness all the time.With such a friendly smile and resolute and sincere demeanor, people really can't bear to be wary of him, let alone reject every word he says.

This is Li Li, the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army in Zhou Yu's eyes. His every move is almost impeccable, and his every move is magnificent.Invisibly exuding a party's pride and arrogance, people can't help but follow his thoughts.

After careful attention, Zhou Yu really felt that Li Li was worthy of being a powerful and powerful overlord, and he showed pride in every gesture.Every word and deed is full of atmosphere.

It can be said that the heroic spirit is overwhelming, and the tiger looks at the heroes in the palm of his hand.

While Zhou Yu was drinking tea to observe Li Li, Li Li also looked at him, Zhou Gongjin, without any trace.

It is equivalent to when Zhou Yu met Li Li for the first time, Li Li knew him very well, the famous beauty Zhou Lang, and it could even be said that he was familiar with him like a treasure.

However, being famous is not as good as meeting.

No matter how well Li Li knew Zhou Yu, he had never seen Zhou Yu himself before, and all his so-called understanding was limited to the historical records in his memory.What's more, the situation in today's world has changed drastically due to the sudden emergence of Li Li, and what will happen after that will also deviate from the historical track and move towards an unpredictable future.Unless Li Li is annexed by other princes before the situation in the world is completely clear, the entire history will be completely overturned, and there will be no more traces.

Correspondingly, the remaining memories of later generations in Li Li's mind will also be useless. The only thing that can be used for reference is the personality traits and handling styles of the current influential people.History has deviated from the inherent track, and many wars that will happen and the fate of some people will inevitably change accordingly, because history is created by people.When the fate of many people changes, it will naturally lead to a change in history, and then rewrite the annals of history.

Li Li was really surprised when he first met Zhou Yu.

Because Zhou Yu looks so "beautiful", it is not an exaggeration to use "beauty" to describe his appearance.But I saw that he was about eight feet eight inches tall, tall and burly, strong but not strong, his arms and legs were slender and shapely, his shoulders were broad and powerful, but his waist was extremely asymmetrical with his shoulders, and he looked a little thin and slender.

Such a tall and burly body, with slender hands and feet, broad shoulders and thin waist, is rare among men, but the overall body shape gives people a very comfortable look, and the proportion of the whole body is appropriate.Therefore, he is obviously a person who practices literature and martial arts, but he shows an extremely contradictory scholarly and literary spirit, which makes people mistakenly think that he is a gentle and elegant tall Confucian scholar.

This is not the most important point. The reason why Zhou Yu is "beautiful" lies in his handsome appearance and fair and ruddy complexion.But I saw that he was wearing a purple gold and white jade crown, the front of his hair was tied up in a bun, and the long hair behind his skull was draped over his shoulders, black and thick, and silky smooth.Such beautiful hair really makes men look sideways and women like it.His face is like a jade crown, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes, the bridge of his nose is as high as a cliff, and his lips are as wide as a galaxy.The complexion is fair and ruddy, truly rosy, not only the complexion on the face is fair and clear, but even the neck, arms and fingers are as smooth as jade.This kind of honor is better than the skin of ordinary ladies, enough to make many girls feel ashamed and dare not meet him face to face.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu's chin is slightly pointed, with a tuft of black beard inlaid on it, and the green beard at the corners of his mouth on both sides, so that he can show his majestic and heroic hair.Otherwise, he is likely to be regarded as a "pretty beauty" disguised as a man, and no one will regard him as a real man.With these two strands of green beards, most people will regard him as a man at first sight, and there will be no gender confusion.

When Li Li saw Zhou Yu for the first time, he subconsciously thought of the white and tender young man in the later generations of Koryo. It was not until he saw the beard on his chin that he came back to his senses.

After an hour of close contact, Li Li clearly felt that Zhou Yu was a real man, with a calm and unrestrained demeanor, gentle and elegant conversation, bold and generous, magnanimous, and a very magnetic voice, which was extremely lethal to women.

Such a man who is almost flawless and faultless, no wonder later generations called him "Mei Zhou Lang".He is really a man so handsome as to be "beautiful". Mei Zhoulang's name is well-deserved, enough to convince men and make women crazy.If he hadn't been born in troubled times, Zhou Yu would definitely be a romantic and unrestrained noble son. Even though he was conservative by nature, there would still be countless beauties posting it upside down. It would be hard not to be romantic!

Li Li and Zhou Yu were worrying, drinking tea and talking, chatting and laughing happily, and their words were very speculative.

However, other people have no way of knowing whether this is the case, and only they know it best in their hearts.

"So Mrs. Lu has already taken her servants to Xiliang, do you plan to settle in Chang'an for a long time in the future?" Zhou Yu asked casually after hearing that the Lu family changed their way to Sili.

"Exactly." Li Li didn't need to answer this question. Lu Su nodded happily and said, "Grandmother said that Yangzhou has been fighting endlessly in recent years, and I'm afraid it will intensify in the future. After I became sworn brothers with my eldest brother, my grandmother immediately decided to move the whole family to Chang'an. If the mistress can see the world unified in her lifetime, then I will take my grandmother back to her hometown and rebuild the old house so that she can return to her roots."

"Well, that's fine." Zhou Yu nodded lightly and said, "At present, Brother Wenchang's rule is indeed one of the few stable and peaceful places in the Han states. It's also good for the old lady to live in Chang'an. Suffering from the disaster of war and displacement."

Even though he said that, a trace of regret and disappointment flashed across Zhou Yu's eyes.It's just that he doesn't know who he feels sorry for, and who he is quite disappointed with.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu stared at Li Li deeply, and asked in a harmonious voice with a smile on his face: "I heard that brother Wen Chang is 21 years old, the same age as me, but slightly younger than Zijing by two years. I wonder if this is true? "

After Li Li heard the words, he nodded as usual and said: "Gongjin is not wrong, it is true. It seems that Gongjin has not finished his words, so there is no need to be scruples, but it's okay to say."

"That's very good." Zhou Yu nodded and smiled and said, "Since Zijing is two years older than Brother Wenchang, why is Brother Wenchang the older brother and Zijing the younger brother? Presumably it's not because of Brother Wenchang's high position and authority?"

"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed loudly when he heard the words, looked at Zhou Yu meaningfully, and just smiled without saying a word, as if acquiescing to Zhou Yu's words of fighting against injustice, but also seemed to disdain to answer such provocative questions.

It is true that Zhou Yu's question sounds like a grievance for Lu Su at first glance, but actually it sounds provocative to Li Li, and it can also be seen as provoking the brotherhood between him and Lu Su face to face.

"Gong Jin doesn't know something." Sure enough, Li Li didn't answer Zhou Yu's question directly, and Lu Su, who had been sitting by the side and seldom spoke, spoke immediately.

I saw Lu Su explaining solemnly: "When my elder brother proposed to marry me that day, he did not disclose his identity. After revealing his identity, I naturally could no longer discuss friendship with him. He also clearly pointed out that the superiority of the elders and the younger is an ancient etiquette. Therefore, Gong Jin does not need to worry about me, I, Lu Su, can fight side by side with my elder brother in this life, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

"So that's the case, but I'm busy." Zhou Yu's expression changed slightly, he looked at Lu Su with deep eyes, and then apologized to Li Li: "Brother Wenchang is generous, please forgive me. The three of you have been busy all the way, Rest for a while, I have ordered someone to clean up the main room in the backyard for Brother Wenchang to sleep in. Please come with me."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit oppressive, Zhou Yu immediately stopped talking, got up and led Li Li and his party to the backyard to rest.

Chapter 521

Two days passed quietly.

On the third day, the sky was still clear and cloudless.

During these two days, Li Li did not meet Zhou Yu alone again, and apart from attending banquets every day, they had no in-depth conversations.

On the contrary, Lu Su and Zhou Yu slept and ate together in the past two days, and they talked very happily and had a deep friendship.

As for what they talked about, Li Li didn't ask a word.

Even if Lu Su wanted to say something, Li Li waved his hand to stop it, expressing his attitude and never interfering in his personal relationship with Zhou Yu.

At noon, Zhou Yu came to invite Li Li to a banquet again, but the banquet was not held in the back hall, but in the pear garden halfway up the mountain behind the county government.

In fact, Li Li was going to bid farewell to Zhou Yu in the morning, but it was a pity that Zhou Yu could not be found, so he delayed until noon in desperation.And Lu Su also repeatedly persuaded him to wait, and after directly explaining his intentions, it would not be too late to leave.

In fact, Li Li had already given up any hope of this trip.

Having been together under the same roof for nearly three days, with Zhou Yu's wise mind, it is impossible for him not to know the purpose of Li Li's trip. Even when they first met two days ago, he already knew why Li Li and others came.However, Zhou Yu has been avoiding Li Li for the past two days, and he has already expressed his attitude invisibly, but he didn't say it to his face.

In view of this, it was meaningless to stay here any longer, so Li Li didn't want to say anything more, he just said goodbye and left, why bother himself.

Unexpectedly, Lu Su was unwilling to give up lightly and insisted on persuading Zhou Yu. He would not leave until Zhou Yu gave a clear answer.As a brother, seeing Lu Su so determined, Li Li can only say nothing, but wait patiently for two days, hoping that there is still room for redemption.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, who had disappeared for a whole morning, suddenly reappeared.It is really intriguing to place the banquet in the Houshanli Garden.

However, no matter what, the result of Li Li's trip to the Nest is about to come to fruition, and the success or failure will be announced at the banquet in the Liyuan.

The pear orchard is [-] steps away from the backyard of the county government. The pear trees in the garden are luxuriant and shady. Green pears the size of walnuts hang from the branches. They still need to grow for several months before they mature in autumn.

Follow Zhou Yu in the pear garden.Li Li glanced at the back mountain for a while, and found that the mountain was really not small, spanning tens of miles from north to south, lush and green, except for the location of the county government, which was a little gentler.The remaining mountains and forests are all steep and densely forested, very steep.

pause time.Li Li turned his head and glanced at Huan Fei who was following behind him.There was no hint in the eyes, just a simple look back, and then followed Zhou Yu to the pavilion on the mountainside.

"Brother, please take a seat." Seeing Li Li entering the gazebo, Lu Su, who had been waiting here, immediately got up and saluted, and invited Li Li to take his seat.

"Huh?" Li Li pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Gong Jin is the landlord. He should take the seat, and we shall be the guests. If the guests don't overpower the lord, how can we overstep! Hehehe!"
