What Chang Lingge said made Chu Jiuge puzzled, and he couldn't react for a while, but he finally understood why Chang Lingge lived in seclusion in the Forbidden Forest where no one disturbed him. Not long after, he escaped from the palace of King Wei. In order to avoid Nanjun's pursuit, he had no choice but to make such a bad move.

However, although Chu Jiuge admires Chang Lingge, he is still sensible. He knows the truth of "knowing people, knowing faces, but not heart". Representing the other party is worthy of his wholehearted entrustment.

He is not the same as Chang Lingge, Jing Ke, and Gao Jianli, the life-and-death friends. What's more, the world has changed, and the relationship between people is no longer so simple. Even if he has no brains, he must always act calmly.

"Forgive me, since you like Gong Ziyin so much, why do you live in seclusion here instead of learning from Gou Jian, king of Yue, and secretly organizing an army to rescue Gong Ziyin?"

Hearing Chu Jiuge's rhetorical question, Chang Lingge looked at the latter in surprise.He seems to have forgotten that he is no longer the old Wei Guo Guoshi who can win others to obey him in the blink of an eye.Shaking his head with a wry smile, he immediately replied: "There are some things that I cannot tell you in detail, but you just need to know that I have no ill intentions towards you."

Chu Jiuge asked in disbelief: "You used to be unwilling to mention your past to me, but now you tell me everything. How can I know whether you are sincere or false? I don't want to speculate on others, just because I want to be innocent. I'm alive, just fill my stomach and dawdle. Please, don't make me so tired, okay?"

Unmoved, Chang Lingge calmly raised the teapot and filled the cup in front of Chu Jiuge.

"Don't get angry. No matter what happens, it must be based on the mutual consent of both of you. If you don't want to, I won't be able to force you."

After hearing this, Chu Jiuge's resentment calmed down a little. At this moment, when he calmed down, he realized how excited he was just now. It was obviously not a big deal. Why was he so angry?What's more, Chang Lingge's willingness to tell him about himself is entirely because he trusts him.

Chu Jiuge wanted to apologize, but he didn't know how to say it, but for a person like him who had no intentions, he naturally wrote whatever he thought in his heart.Chang Lingge saw his expression, and although he smiled slightly, he sighed deeply in his heart. As for Chu Jiuge's anger, he was not surprised, or rather, he was expected.It's just that he was too impatient. The great cause of rejuvenating the country depends on the details of the day and night, so how can it depend on the efforts of the day and night?

Chang Lingge looked at the steaming heat on the teacup, always felt that he had forgotten something, but couldn't remember it anyway, so he had to talk to Chu Jiuge about something, but obviously, neither of them had much thought Continue to talk, so the tea bureau hastily broke up.

Chang Lingge knew that because of his impulsiveness, this would definitely be the last time Chu Jiuge came to the Forbidden Forest and took the initiative to meet him, but this was by no means the last time they met.

Chu Jiuge left, not only left the Forbidden Forest and Fengming Mountain, but also left the border town he was familiar with, took his Guqin and the few clothes he had, and embarked on a real wandering journey .

There is only one reason for him to leave, he is afraid.

Chu Jiuge didn't know what he was afraid of, maybe it was just because he didn't want to have anything to do with politicians like Chang Lingge, and he was afraid that it would affect him in the future, but he could faintly feel that once he left this time, he would be forever I can't go back to the past...

...Perhaps the moment Chang Lingge told him his story, he was destined not to be a simple luthier.

Chu Jiuge knows that he has no place to stay. Even though the Seven Kingdoms still maintain a ridiculous balance, this is just an illusion. As long as Nan Jun moves his fingers, there will be chaos and people will be devastated. It's just that no one is willing to expose the status quo. People would rather live in the illusion of peace they created.

The border town where Chu Jiuge has lived for several years is located on the border of Ulan Kingdom. It is the only country among the seven countries where a minority is in charge of the political power. The people are good at horseback riding and archery. The strongest country, but due to its remote location, complex terrain, and excessive mountain undulations, the economy and culture are backward, and there is an extremely dangerous divergent river as a barrier from the Central Plains, so it is temporarily unable to threaten the six countries in the Central Plains. country.

As for Qishui, just like its name, there are many branches and forks in the river, and the water is turbulent. It flows from the mountains in Ulan Kingdom to the East China Sea. For the Central Plains and Ulan, it is not only a natural protective barrier, but also a future. Obstacles to the unification of the world.

But at present, the leaders of the Seven Kingdoms are not in the mood to take care of the latter, because the general situation of the world is forcing the Central Plains region to fight for a hegemon sooner or later, in order to compete with the Ulan Kingdom, and finally the world will be unified.

As for Chu Jiuge, he is very lucky to live in the south of Qishui, which is the Central Plains area. This is a lot less inconvenient as a Han in Ulan, but to be honest, it is even more difficult to make a choice in the Central Plains area. There are six countries to choose from, and he can't choose Chu, the most powerful country, because it is said that King Ke of Chu is actually not a smart person, maybe he was born with some disabilities, but he happened to be the eldest son, and the previous king was an extremely conservative old man. That’s why he won the throne. At present, the largest territory of Chu State is due to the merits of the former king, and the political situation is relatively stable. The world is in chaos, and Chu's old foundations can easily be eaten up. If the country is really ruined, no one will know how it will die when the time comes.

Chu Jiuge will next consider the Southern Kingdom, which is the second most powerful country, but unfortunately, the current Nanjun is called Xi Sui, and as his name suggests, he is a man with a violent personality and an extremely belligerent personality, although his military strength is not as large as other countries , but all of them are good soldiers who have undergone rigorous training, and they will never show weakness on the battlefield.It's been a while since I heard of the Southern Kingdom's attack, maybe it's secretly recruiting troops.

Chu Jiuge also didn't want to choose the Southern Kingdom. Although for a monarch, self-motivation is essential, but he doesn't want to stand by and do nothing about things like killing innocent people indiscriminately.

In the end, Chu Jiuge chose Yan State, because compared to Qi State with the weakest national strength, Ke State with serious domestic disasters, and Ji State which is difficult to achieve major events, Yan State with a more stable prospect may be the most suitable for him.

After confirming his goal, Chu Jiuge walked all the way in the direction of Yan Guo. He didn't have much money and didn't plan to stay in any inn. He took a few dry biscuits unique to border towns and set off on the road.

Chu Jiuge went south all the way, and when he encountered a crowded place, he stopped to play a few tunes. Even if the people were not rich, he could get a few copper coins out of sympathy.But the disadvantage is that these coins can only be used locally. When he goes to another country, if he uses the coins of other countries, he will be thrown into prison, and his life may be in danger. Therefore, when he leaves a country, he always puts his body Exchange all the coins for dry food and clothing.

On the last night in Ke Country, Chu Jiuge didn't spend all his money because he was late, even though he had almost bought dry food and outfits.The night had already fallen, and there were no hawkers in the market. Seeing the crackling copper coins in his pocket, Chu Jiuge finally decided to spend a little extravagance and stay in an inn.

Following Xiaoer into the room, Chu Jiuge suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had lived in a place that could be called a "house"... All along, he just slept on the street, or slept in the grass stables with the horses, Seeing the warm bed suddenly, I couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

Xiao Er saw that something was wrong with him, so he asked him if it was okay, Chu Jiuge waved his hand, took out a few copper coins and handed it to Xiao Er, asking him to bring some bath water.

Chu Jiuge is a luthier, he pays great attention to his appearance, so even if the river water is bitingly cold, he still has to bathe in the water, remembering the taste of hot water, he really feels that he has been wandering for too long...

Sitting in the bathtub surrounded by warm and soft bath soup, Chu Jiuge plans his future, maybe he can play the piano first to make money, and when he saves enough money, he can buy a decent house and marry a beautiful wife. Give birth to a healthy child, lead a normal life, and no longer have to wander...

Chu Jiuge was rubbing the foam on his black hair, thinking about it, and when he was intoxicated, he was suddenly interrupted by the door opening.

The visitor opened the door very unfriendly, but suddenly realized that he had entered the wrong room, and said without any apology in his tone: "Excuse me, miss." Then he closed the door, which made Chu Jiuge a little bit blindfolded , but he turned his back to the wooden door, and didn't intend to pursue it. After he washed off the foam, he stood up and wiped his body with a dry cloth.

He took out a plain dress he just bought from the package and put it on. Chu Jiuge just turned around to get the belt from the table when he found a black figure sitting at the table calmly drinking tea, which made him let out a "wow" in fright. Taking a step back and taking a closer look, I realized that it was a young man.

"You go into other people's houses without making a sound?"

"You are taking a shower." The man replied indifferently.

"Seeing me taking a shower, shouldn't you be sensible and get out?"

"I thought you were a woman. I accidentally bumped into a beautiful woman out of the bath. I was reckless. Shouldn't I marry you and be responsible?"

This reason seemed reasonable, but Chu Jiuge felt that he was about to explode.Trying to keep calm, so as not to yell out: "What about now?"

"Judging from your deep voice, you are obviously not a woman."
