Chapter 388 Scourge
Chapter 388 Scourge
In the lobby of the teahouse, 11-year-old Zhang Hongyi was sitting there, with five maids standing behind him, holding bags of things in their hands.
The guards were scattered around in twos and threes.
The waiter in the shop came forward respectfully with the teapot in hand, and asked, "Mr. Xiao Lang, would you like some more tea?"
"No."
"Then...the horseshoe cake in the shop is delicious, how many pieces would you like to order, Mr. Xiao Lang?"
"Is it expensive?"
"It's... eighty yuan a piece."
"So expensive?" Zhang Hongyi kept shaking his head, "Don't eat, don't eat."
The shop clerk was stunned for a moment, then retreated respectfully, slandering him endlessly.
"Dress so elegantly, go out and buy so many valuable things, but a bunch of people just sit around and refuse to spend a penny...I've never seen such a stingy little devil."
Zhang Hongyi also smelled the aroma of the food in the teahouse. After going out for a long time, he also felt a little hungry, but he still refused to buy some food.
It's not that he doesn't have money, he still has a stack of coins and two pieces of gold jewelry in his arms, which he earned from the eldest sister and second sister today.
But his money is not easy to spend... According to the rules of the Mongolian Kingdom, the youngest son is the hostage.His eleventh brother is now the proton of Hara and Lin.In case he wants to be replaced by his youngest son who was born later, he will have to spend a lot of money to take care of it.
Zhang Rou knew what his youngest son was thinking, and every time he scolded him, "Idiot, Han Ting wants a proton, and he won't want you, a concubine, just pretend to be sentimental."
In Zhang Hongyi's view, wise men worry too much and are prepared...
There were hurried footsteps outside the teahouse. Zhang Hongyi looked up and saw Zhang Hongdao. He was startled and stood up quickly.
"Five... Fifth brother?"
"Search!" Zhang Hongdao yelled, his face was ashen, and he seemed to be dripping water solemnly.
He swept across the lobby before turning to Zhang Hongyi, frowning, and asked sharply, "Why are you here?"
"Me? I...I took the second sister's people out...to buy some things? Have a tea break..."
Zhang Hongyi seldom saw his fifth elder brother look like this, and he was terrified, and said again: "Fifth... Fifth sister-in-law promised..."
"Why are you guilty?"
Zhang Hongdao suddenly thought of something, glanced at the five maidservants, and saw that Zhang Wenjing was not among them, so he felt relieved.
He ignored Zhang Hongyi, strode upstairs, and kicked the door of each private room to search.
There was a sound of "bang", and when he kicked open the door of a private room, he suddenly froze.
"Why are you here?!"
In the private room, Zhang Wenjing sat there alone, took a sip gracefully from the teacup, put down the teacup, and said calmly, "Hey, why is Fifth Brother here?"
"Are you alright?" Zhang Hongdao quickly walked behind her to protect her, then turned around and glanced around again.
"Fifth brother doesn't have to face a big enemy, I'm the only one here."
"A daughter is so bold, pretending to be like this and sneaking out of the house, do you still have dignity?! Shameless."
Although Zhang Hongdao was angry, he didn't dare to scold Zhang Wenjing too much.
When this matter reached Zhang Rou's ears, Zhang Rou would not ask the reason, but would instead accuse Zhang Hongdao of being strict with his sister.
So at the end of the sentence, it became a concerned tone again.
"If you dare to sneak out, you won't be afraid of being captured by the wicked."
"How can there be a villain?" Zhang Wenjing was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "I went out for a stroll and bought some things for my second sister. Who told Wulang to watch closely a few days ago?"
Zhang Hongdao only looked at Zhang Wenjing's men's attire, and knew how she came out.
Today, when Zhang Wenwan said that he would send five maidservants out, he paid attention to it, and made a special statement not to let Zhang Wenjing go out with these maidservants.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Wenjing did not pretend to be a servant girl, but a guard instead.
Zhang Hongdao glanced at the teacup on the case, and asked angrily, "Where's Li Xia?"
"Li Xia?"
"Don't you want to hide it from me again, pretend I can't see it?"
Zhang Wenjing said "Oh" casually, and said, "I just met him, and we chatted for a while."
"You're lucky that you didn't get kidnapped again."
"If he wanted to abduct me, why did he let me go? He could have abducted me in Zaoyuan, Shandong."
"That's enough. You stupid girl, he is a Song person who works carefully, and he will hurt you later, or take advantage of you..."
"He is a modest gentleman. He has never harmed me, a little girl, and never thought of using me. Such an upright character, he is more elegant than Fifth Brother."
"Fashion? A dead liar, a dead lunatic." Zhang Hongdao became more and more unhappy, took a few deep breaths, and asked, "How did you find him?"
"How did Fifth Brother find this place?"
"Every time Li Xia shows up, he will climb up to watch and observe the movements of the pursuers. The Chentuan Pagoda in Luyi, the Kaibao Temple Pagoda in Kaifeng, and Weishan Mountain are like this every time. Today he picks out such a big mess, it depends on how I arrange it If you deal with it manually, you will definitely climb a tall building again."
Zhang Hongdao walked to the window, looked at Xiangyang Tower in the distance, and continued: "There are mostly two-story buildings near Xiangyang Tower, and there are only two high-rise buildings suitable for observation. Among the two floors, this building is more convenient to escape. .”
Zhang Wenjing took a sip of tea and said, "It makes sense."
Zhang Hongdao frowned and said, "I feel that my reaction is fairly quick. Li Xia saw me coming and escaped early. You can find this place faster than me?"
"I know him better than Fifth Brother." Zhang Wenjing said: "Fifth Brother didn't expect him to show up until something went wrong, but I only knew that Fifth Brother was going to meet guests in Xiangyang Tower, so I guessed it... Besides, he didn't Don't hide from me, don't run when you see me, you will see me naturally."
"Where did he escape to?"
"I don't know."
As Zhang Wenjing said, her brows and eyes lowered, and her expression became much darker. Looking at the clouds in the sky, her heart was filled with the sadness of a girl again...
~~
Yunxiu Inn.
Bai Pu was very exhausted after experiencing the chaos of the day, and after returning to the inn, he didn't ask the store to bring hot water, so he went back to the guest room alone.
Just as he lit the candle, he suddenly saw a figure in front of him.
Bai Pu was startled and almost cried out.
"Mr. Bai, don't panic, I have no malicious intentions."
"who are you?"
"Why don't you guess?"
Bai Pu took a closer look by the candlelight, and saw that the man in front of him was dressed in a green robe, with three long beards on his face, his appearance was handsome, and he looked like a celebrity.
"You are Li Xia?"
"Does Mr. Bai think I look like you?"
"It's not like." Bai Pu said with a wry smile, "I'm a down-and-out person, far from being such a rich and handsome man."
"Liu Zhong has never met Mr. Bai."
"It's not the same age." Bai Pu said: "Although you wear a long beard, there are no wrinkles on your neck. You are not 30 years old. Alas, to judge a person's age, it depends on the neck."
"Been taught a lesson."
It's a pity that Liu Zhongzhi, who should be taught, has died.
Li Xia took off her sticky long beard, rubbed her face, restored her original face, and bowed with her hands together.
"My junior, Li Xia and Li Feiyu, have met Mr. Bai."
Bai Pu sighed, without talking about anything else, he first asked: "I heard that you have contacts with Uncle Han's family, how is his family?"
"Mr. Han is in good spirits. Brother Ning is sick. He has been taking care of him in recent years, and he is getting better day by day."
"Where's Miss Aluan?"
"The junior has never seen her, and she passed away many years ago."
Bai Pu was stunned for a moment, a little sad.
"Uncle was still talking about it a few days ago. It was a lifelong regret that he didn't protect the orphan girl left by his elder brother... How can I tell him..."
"Mr. Bai's condolences." Li Xia said: "Brother Yi Ning and the Yuan family have a daughter named 'Qiao'er', who is 14 years old now."
"Qiaoer? Did she come with you? Can I take her to see her uncle?"
"Not accompanying."
Bai Pu sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I'm making you laugh. We are the survivors of the subjugated country. Once we are separated, we will meet again once in a lifetime..."
"The younger generation understands, and Mr. Han often talks about it, feeling ashamed of Mr. Yishan."
As Li Xia said, he saluted again, and said, "This time, using Mr. Bai's name as a taboo has also implicated my husband. I know that I am rude, and I am deeply sorry. Please forgive me, sir."
Bai Pu waved his hand and said, "You are determined to fight against Mongolia, but I'm just a useless scholar...you can use my name, can you blame me or not?"
Now that he made this attitude clear, Li Xia sat down with peace of mind.
"Feiyu is here tonight, but is there something to discuss? Ugly words first, although I am not an official in Mongolia, I will never communicate with the weak Song Dynasty, let alone harm the Zhang family."
"Yes, everyone has their own ambitions, and this junior will never embarrass Mr. Bai..."
~~
Zhang Hongdao seemed to have returned to the city of Kaifeng last year, feeling overwhelmed by exhaustion.
Killing Liu Zhongzhi was no small matter, and he hadn't even thought about how to cover it up.
Zhang Rou and Jing Jie were not in the city, so they had no choice but to ask Jing Xuan.
"How does Mr. Taining view this matter?"
The candlelight in the study was flickering, Jing Xuan's old face was also full of sadness, and he sighed: "What Li Xia did was just to tell us, if he keeps holding Yang Guo, it will cause trouble for the Zhang family... This little misfortune should have been sent away earlier and ended earlier."
"He held such a big handle on the Zhang family, so he just let it go?"
"It's good to be able to catch it, but if you can't catch it, it's better to plan not to catch it."
Hearing these words of "following the trend", Zhang Hongdao felt deeply frustrated, and thought again of the words Zhang Wenjing passed on to Li Xia.
Jing Xuan said: "If you don't stop it, when Li Xia picks up Yang Guo and crosses the Huaihe River, the matter will be that the governor of Shouzhou appointed by Shi Tianze has defected. family's mortal sin."
"How can we ensure that Li Xia can let the Zhang family go after he has made up his mind? Let him go this time, but next time he will go even worse."
Jing Xuan said: "The most urgent thing at the moment is to deal with Liu Zhongzhi's aftermath. Don't forget that Tacha'er is only in charge of the military, so he is impatient to attack Song Dynasty. This battle will surely be defeated. The blame for the defeat is pushed to the head, what should I do? It’s a small loss.”
Zhang Hongdao understands these principles, regretting that he should have killed Eridunbari in the first place, but he got deeper and deeper.
Jing Xuan changed the subject, and said again: "Of course, Wu Lang's thinking is also reasonable. Let Li Xia hold the handle, this time he backed down a step, next time he will intensify... According to the old man, it is best to have a talk with him talk."
"talk?"
"To cover up Liu Zhongzhi's matter is nothing more than pushing on the historians. If Li Xia is willing to cooperate, this matter will be easy to arrange."
Zhang Hongdao rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself, "Talk to Li Xia? With him?"
Jing Xuan twirled his long beard, and said: "Just to make a statement, he will definitely contact Wu Lang again, let's see, he will send another message soon..."
