The person who opened the door was an old farmer. He was plainly dressed, had dark skin, and had dull eyes. He was a typical tall old farmer.

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then looked behind him and asked, "Is your master at home?"

"I have no master."

"Um...went to the wrong place?"

Liu Chang pondered for a moment, stared at him, and asked: "Then do you know the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

"know."

An old country farmer said that he knew Han Xin, which surprised everyone. Liu Chang was not so surprised. He waited for a while with his hands on his hips. Seeing that the man had no intention of inviting him in, Liu Chang became furious and shouted

He said: "I am the king of Tang Dynasty. I came to visit you on the order of the Marquis of Huaiyin. Why don't you invite me in?"

"Oh, please come in, Your Majesty."

Even though he learned that the person in front of him was the King of Tang, the old farmer didn't have any surprise on his face. He just calmly moved out of the way and let them go in. Liu Chang took the lead and walked into the mansion, followed by Luan Bu and Zhang Buyi.

, only Ji Bu stared at the old farmer closely, feeling that he looked familiar, but could not recognize him.

The house was also quite simple. The kennel in the front yard was empty, and there was no sound of pigs snorting in the backyard. When I entered the house, there were no objects in the house. I was really poor.

Liu Chang sat down and looked around carefully, but the old farmer had already brought the food and placed it in front of them.

This meal was just a little bit of millet plus wild vegetables that Liu Chang couldn't recognize. The millet was different from what Liu Chang usually ate, but Liu Chang didn't hesitate and picked up the food. Zhang Buyu said

: "Your Majesty...this..."

"Why, you want some too?"

"no..."

"Then I'll eat it myself!"

Liu Chang said and started eating. When the old farmer saw this scene, he smiled. Liu Chang finished the food hungrily, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and asked, "Is this what you usually eat?"

"

"You can only eat it if you meet distinguished guests."

"My family used to have quite a lot of property, but later I scattered all the money and food to the surrounding villagers, and my family became poor."

"Then you're not a bad person...Luan Bu, take the money!"

Liu Chang took some money from Luan Bu and put it in front of the old farmer, "I won't eat your money for nothing, just treat this as food money!"

The old farmer took the money very skillfully, without even the slightest hesitation or refusal. This made Zhang Buyi particularly angry, but seeing that the man was older, he did not speak angrily.

"You are my master's friend? What did you do before?"

"I once drove a car for someone."

"Oh, groom...then how do you know my master?"

"He was defeated by the Marquis of Huaiyin and captured in front of his tent."

"He's still a rebel...what happened next?"

"Later, he fought with the Marquis of Huaiyin and made some minor achievements, so he was granted an official position."

"Then why did you start farming now?"

"Later, the Marquis of Huaiyin was arrested... I was worried about being implicated, so I resigned and lived in seclusion."

"Isn't it true that seclusion is in the deep mountains and old forests? Why do you live in seclusion in Chang'an?"

"The deep mountains and old forests are too dangerous and the roads are inconvenient."

"Hahaha, you are quite interesting!"

Liu Chang smiled and chatted with him for a while, and then asked him if there was anything he wanted to say to his master. The old farmer shook his head and said, "I haven't contacted the Marquis of Huaiyin for a long time, so please ask him to take good care of his health."

Liu Chang didn't say much and was about to stand up and leave. Suddenly, Ji Bu pointed at him and shouted: "You are Lord Guangwu!!!"

Liu Chang was stunned, "Mr. Guangwu? Why haven't I heard of him? Who is he?"

The old farmer smiled and said nothing.

Ji Bu's face became more and more respectful. He paid homage to the old man and then whispered to Liu Chang: "Jun Guangwu is from Zhao. He is the grandson of the famous Zhao general Wu An..."

"What?! Li Mu's grandson?!"

"Guangwu Jun once assisted King Zhao Xie. Because Cheng'an Jun Chen Yu did not listen to his advice, he was defeated by the Marquis of Huaiyin. After defeating the enemy, the Marquis of Huaiyin offered a reward of a thousand gold. Later, he captured Guangwu Jun alive. The Marquis of Huaiyin personally

He untied him, asked him to sit facing east, treated him as a teacher, and asked him for advice on how to conquer Qi and Yan's strategy..."

"What?? My master asked him for advice?!"

For a moment, Liu Chang stared blankly at the old man in front of him, unable to speak.

"Father Zhong!!!"

Liu Chang suddenly held Li Zuoche's hands and said excitedly: "Your name is so popular. I heard your name when I was young. I admire you very much and always think about meeting you one day."

, Unexpectedly, we can meet each other today! I am really lucky!"

Even Li Zuoche was shocked by Liu Chang's expression.

"I don't dare to do it for the great king Zhongfu..."

"No, Marquis Huaiyin is my teacher. He has treated you as a disciple. Then you are my master's master and my elder! Disciples and grandsons pay homage to their ancestors!!"

Liu Chang was about to pay his respects, but Li Zuoche hurriedly helped him up and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I have resigned from office long ago and am now just an ordinary citizen."

"You have such talent, how can you waste your time at home? Please invite Father Zhong to go to the Tang Dynasty. I would like to make Father Zhong the prime minister of the country!"

Luan Bu's mouth twitched, there really were more prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty than there were pavilion chiefs.

"I don't have the talent to serve as Prime Minister... Your Majesty, please go back. It's time for me to rest."

Li Zuoche saw off the guests very politely.

Liu Chang's eyes widened, and he said sadly: "At the beginning, Lord Wu'an of the Zhao State could not bear to see the people being bullied by the Huns, so he fought in anger, defeated the Huns, and protected the people. Now, the people of the Tang State are suffering from the Huns."

The Xiongnu would come to plunder every day, and Maodun Shanyu even offered a reward for the heads of Tang people. Anyone who brings back the heads of Tang people will be promoted to one rank!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Zuoche was also shocked. Did the Huns start to implement military merit system?

Liu Chang wiped his tears and said painfully: "I am a weak man who does not understand war. I can only watch the people of Tang State suffer and can do nothing... Now you ignore the suffering of the people of Tang State and sit here wasting your time. How can you be worthy of you?"

Ancestor? Mr. Wu An!! When will there be someone like you in the world! Mr. Wu An!! Your descendants are not like you!!"

Seeing Liu Chang howling, Li Zuoche couldn't sit still.

"King!"

"Although I live in seclusion, I still know some things about the world."

"Ah? Since you knew the plight of the Tang people, why didn't you save them? If you have such talent, why did you refuse to save them? Are you worthy of the people of the world? Are you worthy of your ancestors?!"

Ji Bu hurriedly pulled Liu Chang and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty...ahem, don't be too rude."

Li Zuoche was naturally unhappy. He was living well in seclusion here. Suddenly someone came to him, ate a bowl of rice from him, and started to curse after eating. Who could bear this?

He said angrily: "Your Majesty, please go back! I will never leave here! I asked the late emperor to resign, and the emperor personally agreed and issued an edict to let me enjoy my old age in peace. What can your Majesty do?!"

"Hmph, it's not up to you, Luan Bu! Tie him up!!"

When Liu Chang raised his head and walked out of the inner room, Zhang Buyi and Luan Bu were dragging Li Zuoche out of the house. Li Zuoche struggled desperately, but he could no longer compete with these two strong young men. Zhang Buyu cursed: "

Don't move around! I'll tie you up and take you to the Tang Dynasty to be the Prime Minister! How many people are eager to be kidnapped!"

Ji Bu stood aside, hesitating to speak, with a complicated look on his face.

Li Zuoche's face turned red and he shouted: "Does your Majesty want to force me to commit suicide?!"

Liu Chang suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked seriously in front of Li Zuoche. At this moment, Liu Chang looked so serious, no longer as frivolous as usual. He asked: "I don't understand.

, you have such talents, you have talents that can impress the Marquis of Huaiyin, why are you unwilling to stand up, why are you unwilling to help Tang State?"

Faced with Liu Chang's inquiry, Li Zuoche suddenly became quiet.

He hesitated for a moment and murmured: "So what if you have talent, so what if you can fight... Even if you have military exploits like the Marquis of Huaiyin... What will be the end of it? Even if you have military exploits like my grandfather... In the end

What will happen to them? Bai Qi of Qin State, Tian Dan of Qi State...what about them?"

Liu Chang looked at him deeply and said, "So that's what you think."

"Then do you think that when your grandfather went to defeat the Huns and defend the people of Zhao, did he do it for military glory? Was he afraid?"

Li Zuoche looked at him and was speechless for a moment.

Liu Chang shook his head disdainfully, "Luan Bu, let him go... Such a person is not worthy of going to the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that there will never be anyone like Wu Anjun again."

Seeing Liu Chang leading the people out of the courtyard, Li Zuoche stood there blankly, his face getting redder and redder, gritting his teeth, and getting angrier as he thought about it.

He rushed out of the mansion quickly.
