Chapter 26 On Talent and Wine Tasting (3)(1/2)
Da da da…
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, gradually coming to the front of them.
But it was Guan Yu who came with the guards he had trained.
Guan Yu came forward, got off his horse, handed over his hands and reported to Li Zhi.
"Brother sent someone to come here. What do you mean?"
The matter was urgent, and Li Zhibian was not polite to him.
"My dear brother, quickly ask the guards to surround the venue. Don't let the people watching the excitement disturb the distinguished guests."
"My dear nephew, don't worry, these people are..."
Lu Zhi looked at these uniform and military-like guards with a somewhat inexplicable expression. At this time, he interrupted and asked Li Zhi
You must know that training guards and training troops are not the same thing at all, but training some troops near Luoyang City, no matter how many or how small, is a big deal.
Li Zhi's expression remained unchanged, but he was shocked in his heart. He also thought about this and thought about how to answer Lu Zhi.
After calming down and thinking for a while, he said to Lu Zhi
"My good brother is quite armed and wants to join the army to serve the country."
Li Zhi pointed at Guan Yu and lied nonsense
"However, he does not understand the art of war, nor does he know how to lead troops."
At this time, Li Zhi was getting smoother and smoother.
"In order to prevent my good brother from suffering a disadvantage in the army in the future, I gave him a servant at home to train and let him learn while practicing to gain experience."
"Um"
Lu Zhi nodded noncommittally, walked up to Guan Yu, and patted his shoulder vigorously. Guan Yu stood proudly, unmoved.
"A strong warrior is born, but he is born to be a general."
After seeing this, Lu Zhi was extremely satisfied and believed Li Zhi's words completely, so he stopped pursuing him for privately training troops.
Seeing that Lu Zhi admired Guan Yu very much, Li Zhi quickly introduced him to him.
"This is Guan Yu and Guan Changsheng. He is born with supernatural power and extraordinary martial arts. He is a born fierce general."
After finishing, he turned to the right and introduced Guan Yu.
"This is Lu Zhi and Lu Ziqian. Mr. Lu is a master of military affairs. My dear brother, why don't you bow quickly? If you have any questions in the future, you can ask Mr. Lu for advice."
Guan Yu was shocked when he heard that he was Lu Zhi.
Of course he has heard of Lu Zhi's name. Although he has an arrogant temperament, he admires people who are really capable.
"Junior Guan Yu and Guan Changsheng have met Lu Gong."
Guan Yu bowed respectfully to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi supported him with one hand
"No need to be polite, get up quickly."
After Guan Yu got up, he stood aside silently.
Li Zhi saw that he had stopped talking after seeing Li, but he was very anxious.
I thought to myself: "What are you doing with such a good opportunity? Silence is golden? How come you don't know how to cherish it?"
Then he turned to Lu Zhi and said, "Forgive me, Mr. Lu. My good brother is so taciturn on weekdays. It's not because he is neglecting Mr. Lu."
Lu Zhi glanced at him and ignored him, but looked at Guan Yu with eyes full of appreciation.
He likes this kind of thing. He looks taciturn on weekdays.
, but a person who acts vigorously and resolutely.
"If your immortal nephew has time in the future, you can come to my residence. Although I cannot be called a master of military affairs, I can still teach my nephew some ways of generalship."
Before Guan Yu could react, Li Zhi was overjoyed and quickly tugged on Guan Yu's sleeves.
"My dear brother, why don't you pay homage to your mentor soon!"
Guan Yu was stunned when he asked. Li Zhi winked at Guan Yu, tugged on his sleeves, and pointed at Lu Zhi quietly. The meaning was self-evident.
Guan Yu also realized what he was doing now and hurried forward and gave Lu Zhi a big salute.
"Student Guan Yu and Guan Changsheng meet their mentor"
"Alas~~"
Lu Zhi was surprised, but he was confused by the two of them. Why did I ever say that I would accept him as my disciple?
Then he seemed to understand something and looked at Li Zhi jokingly.
"My nephew, are you using your words to make fun of me? But... my nephew is a competent brother."
Lu Zhi shook his head and sighed, and finally looked at Guan Yu. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so he agreed along the way.
"That's all. Seeing my nephew's good intentions for his brother, I accepted Changsheng."
Li knew that Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this and saluted Lu Zhi at the same time.
"Congratulations to Brother Zigan for getting a great disciple."
Yang Qiu interjected from the side at this time.
"However, this is not the time to accept disciples. How about waiting for the apprenticeship ceremony someday? This conference is about to begin."
When everyone heard this, they looked around, but there were people on the seats like this. There were about four to five hundred people in a dense crowd.
Not only that, the venue was also surrounded by thousands of people watching the excitement.
Seeing this, Li Zhi became very anxious and quickly said to Guan Yu
"Brother Xian, hurry up and disperse the guards around the venue. Don't let the onlookers disturb the distinguished guests at the table."
"Here"
Guan Yu heard the words and immediately went to do it.
"Two seniors, please come on stage too."
Both of them praised it and walked slowly towards the stage.
Everything is almost arranged.
Li Zhi straightened his clothes, walked to the stage, and bowed to everyone.
He said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet."
When the noise at the table gradually calmed down,
"I know that this conference will be held today to select the venerable wine master and the most talented person in Luoyang."
At this point, Li Zhi bowed his hands to the four old men on the stage.
"It is a great honor for me to have four elders as judges."
"Today's evaluation is to select the most talented person in Yang, divided into four categories: chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, song and poetry."
"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are selected by Cai Gong"
"The poems, lyrics and poems will be selected by Song Gong"
"As for the title of Wine Master, that goes without saying. Those of us who have a great capacity for drinking can come forward and give it a try."
"The name of this wine master will be selected by Lu Gong and Yang Gong."
When he said this, he pointed at the tall wine jar beside him.
"You all just drink this wine in the name of Bo Jiu Zun"
"Drinking will make things worse. I'll choose the talented person first, and then judge the wine person."
At this moment, Yuan Shu stood up and said loudly
"With less than a hundred jars of wine, how can I wait for hundreds of people?"
"Is it possible that you don't have enough money to buy enough wine for everyone to drink?"
"If that's really the case, I'll just lend you some. Why make it so shabby?"
After saying this, he burst out laughing.
Li Zhi heard this and was unmoved, with a joking smile on his face.
"Brother Highway, do you think you don't have enough wine?"
"If that's not the case, before we evaluate the wine master, Brother Lu will drink a jar first.
If brother Qiu is drunk, he will make amends to me in the future.
If Brother Qiu is not drunk, how about I apologize to Brother Qiu and then borrow money from Brother Qiu to buy some wine?"
"That's it!"
