Chapter 392 madman
Jinlou.

Brothers and sisters Zhang Hongdao and Zhang Wenjing sat by the window, allowing pedestrians on the long street to see them.

There are not too many idlers in the whole restaurant, and there are no guards from the Zhang family.

Occasionally, guests who came to have a drink were persuaded away by the store's good words.

"The building is taken over by Zhang Jiawulang today, if it is not Wulang's guest, please come back..."

Zhang Hongdao ate some side dishes casually, and saw Yang Guo's chariots and horses passing by downstairs.

"Mr. Taining has done what Li Xia requested, he should be able to see that I have no malicious intentions."

Zhang Wenjing tidied up her hat, didn't eat any food, and just looked out the window, looking forward to it.

Zhang Hongdao thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Li Xia is getting married, this is not lying to you, it is true."

"It's a lie."

"The one he wants to marry may be Dali Gao."

"I do not believe."

Zhang Hongdao shook his head and said no more.

In fact, he didn't pay much attention to this little problem. Even if Li Xia planned to marry the Gao family, they were not married after all.

How can a down-and-out Dali noble family compare to the prosperous Zhang family?What's more, with his younger sister's looks and talents, does Li Xia have to think too much about how to choose?

Under the window, the carriage carrying Yang Guo's family had already passed by and gradually disappeared at the end of the long street.

"Li Xia should be here soon." Zhang Hongdao put down his chopsticks, poured a glass of wine and drank, and gradually regained his composure.

After chasing for so long, I finally got to meet that person...

~~
Li Xia leaned close to the window paper, and saw the Zhang family brothers and sisters through the hole in the window paper.

Wrapped in a thick coat, he put on a thick coat to cover his figure, went downstairs, and walked around the long street to make sure that there were no guards from the Zhang family around.

Then, Zhang Hongdao's meaning is very clear, and he wants to talk about it.

But this time the deal between the two parties was very simple. The Zhang family released Yang Guo and Li Xia to blame the Liu family. There was very little for each other to do, and there was no need to continue to communicate.

For Li Xia, it was time to leave after rescuing Yang Guo and planting some hidden dangers for the princes in the north.

He hesitated for a while, walked through the alley, and disappeared into the crowd again...

~~
sunset.

"Come on, he won't come."

Zhang Hongdao looked up at the red clouds in the sky, and murmured, "Maybe he's already left the city."

Zhang Wenjing was obviously disappointed, but asked, "Could it be that Fifth Brother secretly sent someone to arrest him?"

"You said that." Zhang Hongdao got up and added, "I don't have the ability."

"Yeah, Fifth Brother really doesn't have this ability... But he is the only one in the world who can make Fifth Brother so helpless, don't worry."

"I should comfort you, not you to comfort me."

"What comfort do I have?"

"Li Xia won't even come to see you, give up."

"It's just that he didn't see us. I knew it was a bad idea..."

The brother and sister walked through the long street, Zhang Wenjing couldn't help but turned her head again and looked at the window on the Jinlou.

The loss she tried so hard to hide finally couldn't help showing from the bottom of her eyes in this glance, red eyes...

~~
Three days later, the news from Kaifeng came back, and Alan Da'er found Shi Zhang in Liu's house.

Yang Guo has already arrived in Shouzhou, and she must be escorted across the Huaihe River soon.

Jingjie returned from Luyi, annihilated some evidence, bribed the people Liu Zhongzhi sent to Luyi, told them that Liu Zhongzhi had been convicted, and let them escape to Song Dynasty.

This seems to be the case...

In the evening, Zhang Hongdao had just completed arrangements for the aftermath, when the concierge suddenly stepped forward and handed him a letter of greeting.

"Who sent it?"

"A petty official, looks very noble..."

There was no name on the greeting card, but Zhang Hongdao looked dignified when he saw the handwriting.

He didn't say anything, he went back to the backyard for dinner, had a conversation with his wife and children, and went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Hongdao opened his eyes, got up in his clothes, and left the mansion alone.

The guards outside the door quickly followed.

"Goro is going out? The villain is going to call someone now."

"I'm free to wander around, I don't have to follow..."

It was October [-]th night, and the moonlight was very bright. Zhang Hongdao walked through the long streets and alleys, all the way to the outside of the Shuangta Temple, and stood in the open place under the pagoda.

After a while, someone came out of the shadows and walked straight into the moonlight.

Zhang Hongdao turned his head, this was the first time he saw Li Xia, so he scanned him up and down for a while, his eyes became more relieved.

"No wonder the elder sister likes you."

"Come with me."

Li Xia turned around and left, keeping a distance from Zhang Hongdao, all the way to a hut.

Zhang Hongdao walked into the room, and said mockingly: "It is said that you have the guts, but tonight, it seems that you are too cowardly to act like a mouse."

"I promised my fiancée would go back safely to get married, so be careful." Li Xia picked up the teapot and poured two cups of warm water.

"No wine?"

"No."

"Boring." Zhang Hongdao shook his head, picked up the cup on the broken table, and said, "I thought you left Bozhou."

"No hurry, Mr. Yang's horses and chariots are slow. When we first arrived in Shouzhou, it's not advisable to run away immediately. I'll arrange things slowly." Li Xia asked, "Have you found Shi Zhang?"

"I found it. Thanks to you being able to hide him in the Liu family's pigsty, Liu Taiping cannot get away with it."

"Are my people all right?"

"Oh, I haven't seen it yet." Zhang Hongdao said indifferently: "You came to me just to ask about this matter? Why don't you ask Mr. Taining."

Li Xia was silent for a while, and asked, "Is someone in your house sick? I saw several doctors coming in and out yesterday."

"Yes, my eldest sister is ill. How are you doing?"

Li Xia was silent again, but this time he didn't speak for a long time.

Zhang Hongdao took a sip of warm water, feeling rather tasteless, put the cup aside, and said, "At that time in Jinlou, did you see us? Why didn't you come?"

"If you can't give Zhang Wenjing an explanation, it's better not to see it."

"Then why did you come to see me again?"

Li Xia said calmly: "I know she is ill, so I can't rest assured."

"so what?"

"I want to see her, and I want to give her an explanation." Li Xia said, "Maybe we should talk."

Zhang Hongdao couldn't help laughing, and asked leisurely: "Do you like my eldest sister?"

"Ah."

"Want to marry her?"

"Ah."

"bride price?"

"What does the Zhang family want?"

"Nothing, you don't even need to be married. As long as you are loyal to the Zhang family, I will talk to my father." Zhang Hongdao said slowly, "Remember, you are loyal to the Zhang family."

Li Xia sighed unconsciously, and said, "Before I came, I knew that I couldn't meet the conditions you proposed."

"The condition is not difficult. To tell you the truth, Zhao Song's little magistrate is not worth your nostalgia, so throw it away. As for the Dali Gao family, it is not the best choice for marriage..."

"I know your attitude." Li Xia said, "You probably won't agree to my proposal, but let me make an estimate and mention it."

Zhang Hongdao sneered, and said: "Then you don't have to say it. It is impossible for us to let the eldest sister go with you. It is absolutely impossible. I have already taken a step back. It is time for you to give in."

"Not only that." Li Xia didn't listen to him at all, and said, "I like both her and Gao Shi, and I want to marry both."

Zhang Hongdao thought he had heard wrong, so he opened his mouth.

Then, his face froze, and there seemed to be fire in his eyes.

With a bang, Zhang Hongdao got up and yelled angrily, "Li Xia! Don't bully people too much!"

"Just be honest." Li Xia looked directly into Zhang Hongdao's angry eyes, and said seriously: "From the bottom of my heart, I like Gao Mingyue, and I like Zhang Wenjing. Regret, knowing that she is sick, I will be concerned..."

Zhang Hongdao was still furious.

But through Li Xia's sincere eyes, he felt that he understood the other party.Although he Zhang Hongdao loves his wife Yan Shi dearly, he also has five concubines...

However, what kind of family the Zhang family is, they will never tolerate such humiliation.

"If you don't want to die, just shut up." Zhang Hongdao gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"You can't kill me."

"..."

"With the power of the Zhang family today, I know that saying these things is tantamount to humiliating the Zhang family." Li Xia said: "But I believe that I will have such qualifications sooner or later, does Wu Lang believe it?"

"What's the point of believing or not?" Zhang Hongdao sat down again, and said slowly, "It is impossible for the Zhang family to agree to this request."

"Ok, I know."

"Then why did you ask me to come?"

"In any case, let me state my attitude first." Li Xia said: "To be honest, I thought about taking her away again...but she may not be happy if she breaks with the family."

"you dare?!"

"I dare, but I don't want to. I know that Zhang Rou loves her the most. Without Zhang Rou's consent, she will not be happy following me." Li Xia said: "Emotion is a matter between two people, but marriage is between two families. matter, so let's talk."

"impossible."

"Not necessarily? You know, I have some skills."

"It's ridiculous. The eldest sister said you are a gentleman, but I think you are a madman."

Zhang Hongdao poured another glass of warm water and drank it down angrily, the tasteless taste in his mouth made him even more annoyed.

But he understood that Li Xia had too many ways to try to meet Zhang Wenjing first and coax her to go with him.A little girl who is just beginning to fall in love, how can she know the seriousness...

On the other hand, this is Li Xia's respect for Zhang Wenjing and the Zhang family.

"Big sister is seventeen, she is a big girl, I can't afford to delay."

"I know."

"Since you can't marry her, don't miss her."

After Zhang Hongdao finished speaking, he threw down the cup in his hand, turned around and left the dilapidated house.

He felt angry, but also grateful.

I'm glad that I came here tonight, and I'm also glad that Li Xia didn't take Zhang Wenjing away.

There is even a faint appreciation in my heart for Li Xia's honesty and responsibility.

But impossible is impossible...

~~
Li Xia knew that he should leave immediately, otherwise Zhang Hongdao might not have sent someone to arrest him when he returned.

But he still sat there alone, thinking for a while.

He is no longer the kind of fiery, desperate young man who is rational, restrained and realistic when facing his feelings.

Finally, Li Xia muttered to himself and walked out of the room.

"In the final analysis, there is still not enough strength..."
