Looking at the porter's thin body, Zhao Yali showed sympathy and said to Li Yunzhong: "Let's go and see, this person is so pitiful..."

Li Yunzhong nodded and agreed, came to the porter, and asked, "Why are you doing this? Judging from your appearance, you are also a scholar who has read books, so why should you make people laugh at me here?"

The porter lowered his head and replied, "I am ashamed of Confucius and Mencius' teachings, and I am ashamed of the instructions of my deceased father. I dare not call myself a scholar again, nor are others allowed to call me this. Please forgive me."

Qiu'er muttered, "What a weird person. Since you have studied and can't find any job in Shanghai, why do you have to be a lowly porter? I heard that you often do illegal activities. Is this true?"

The porter raised his head, his eyes were filled with tears, and he shouted: "I, Zhang Zhidong, have never done anything to blackmail, nor have I done anything against my conscience. Please respect yourself!"

"Zhang Zhidong!" Zhao Yali couldn't help but exclaimed, and immediately asked, "You are... Zhang Xiaoda?"

Zhang Zhidong showed doubt and asked, "How do you know my font size of a girl? The villain has never used a real name since the day he entered Shanghai."

Li Yunzhong and Zhao Yali looked at each other, and they really found it without any effort to search for each other. Unexpectedly, the famous Zhang Zhidong turned out to be a porter!

Li Yunzhong helped Zhang Zhidong up and asked, "Brother Zhang, you are so majestic and talented. Why don't you become an official, but instead waste your time in Shanghai? Wouldn't you let down all your talents?"

Zhang Zhidong bowed and said angrily: "The emperor went north with dust and rebels Chi Yan was arrogant. All of us righteous people were heartbroken. Since we could not help the orthodox Qing Dynasty, how could I serve the pseudo-Han?"

Qiu'er heard him mocking Li Yunzhong. The boss in her heart was unhappy and saw that her lady had no objection. She could only whisper: "Then you are still making a living in Shanghai. If you have the ability, you will chase Xianfeng!"

"Qiu'er!" Zhao Yali glared at Qiu'er and said to Zhang Zhidong: "Brother Zhang, don't mind, she has been spoiled by me? My name is Zhao...Yali, standing Li!"

Zhang Zhidong bowed and replied, "It turns out it's Brother Zhao, I'm polite."

When Li Yunzhong heard that he had the idea of ​​hating Han, he did not intend to claim his name, so as not to get angry and leave Zhang Zhidong. He immediately asked, "I wonder why Brother Zhang is living here?"

Zhang Zhidong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not hiding my benefactor. I came from a family of officials. My father was the prefect of Xingyi. The thief was in trouble in Yunnan and Guizhou. My father died in the battlefield. At that time, I was still in Shuntian Prefecture to take the exam. I got the news and rushed to Xingyi. Fortunately, my brother was taken care of. My mother survived. Later, I took my mother to Beijing to settle down. Unfortunately..."

Zhao Yali knew that she had reached the key point and asked: "What a pity? Logically speaking, you are the descendant of loyalty and martyrs. Should the court pay attention to pensions?"

Zhang Zhidong slapped the pole heavily and said angrily: "It's all the annihilation ministers who ruined the country. The relatives and nobles in the court only care about plundering the people's wealth and ointment. They are preparing to flee to the Northeast, and even the pension is not paid. Instead, they blackmailed me. I was so angry. I took my mother to escape with the refugees and settled down until Shanghai."

Li Yunzhong sighed and comforted: "The Qing court is unpopular and will be destroyed by the Han Dynasty sooner or later. Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry about it, but why are you?"

Zhang Zhidong looked gloomy and replied, "Along the way, I wanted to pay my respects to my father and friends, but they all joined the fake man, and they didn't know what loyalty and righteousness were. Bah! Even if I starved to death, I would accept their alms! When I arrived in Shanghai, my mother got sick and could no longer walk. I didn't want to serve the fake man, so I became a porter after being crushed."

Hearing his repeated name as a pseudo-han, Zhao Yali gave Li Yunzhong a blank look and said to Zhang Zhidong: "You are planning to be a porter for the rest of your life? Not to mention sorry for the teacher, I'll waste all my talents."

Zhang Zhidong said: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your care and thank you for your kindness. With this hundred taels of silver, my mother's illness can be cured. Then I will set off to join my mentor."

Li Yunzhong was shocked and could not let Zhang Zhidong run away for nothing, and asked, "Who is your teacher? I'm afraid I can't tolerate you!"

Zhang Zhidong did not hesitate and replied: "My kindness doesn't know anything. My mentor is Duke Hu, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou!"

"Hu Linyi!" Li Yunzhong was surprised and happy, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Zhang doesn't know anything. Hu Linyi is planning to surrender to the big man! Wouldn't you go to this time and join the Luo of your own?"

"Nonsense!" Zhang Zhidong was shocked and angry. After a while, he realized and bowed to Li Yunzhong and said, "Please give me advice?"

Li Yunzhong smiled and said, "I...is that's it. Hu Linyi has contacted Zuo Zongtang and is waiting for the time to ripe. Then he revolted in Yunnan. Hehe, now Yanjing has been captured by the Han army. Isn't this the time to wait!"

"This... this is impossible. The teacher will never surrender! He taught me with his own words that loyalty, filial piety, integrity, and righteousness, how could I surrender?" Seeing Li Yunzhong's swearing, Zhang Zhidong was silent and what he insisted on collapsed instantly.

Zhao Yali supported Zhang Zhidong and advised: "Brother Zhang has also been in the territory of the Han Dynasty for several years. He has seen the administration of the Han Dynasty with his own eyes. Do you have to help the Qing Dynasty? I am bluntly saying that if you are in the Han Dynasty today, the Qing Dynasty has fallen. If Brother Zhang displays his ambitions, why not join the Han Dynasty?"

Zhang Zhidong was still immersed in the news of Hu Linyi's surrender and said to Zhao Yali: "But my father was destroyed by the hands of a thief, how can I help the evildoer? How can my father be in peace under the storm?"

Li Yunzhong asked, "Whose hand did your father die?"

Zhang Zhidong gritted his teeth and said, "Shi Dakai, Qin said to Gang! These two traitors!"

Zhao Yali said: "Then it's hard for you to take revenge. Now the Qing Dynasty is unable to protect itself and its spirit has been lost. Although it fled to the Northeast, it has no longer had the courage to be the first to be founded. And the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom mercenaries are millions, how can you take revenge?"

Zhang Zhidong smiled bitterly and said, "I originally wanted to rely on my mentor to make achievements, but..."

Zhao Yali wanted to say something else, Li Yunzhong quickly stopped her and whispered in her ear: "Persuad these stubbornness to do it slowly, otherwise it will be counterproductive!"

Zhao Yali also knew that Li Yunzhong was very experienced in this area, so she stomped her feet unwillingly.

Zhang Zhidong was in a daze and walked aimlessly with a rickshaw.

Li Yunzhong waved to a guard and ordered: "Go and follow him, I will see his detailed information tomorrow!"

"Abide by the order!"

Zhao Yali became more and more unwilling to accept her thoughts. She complained to Li Yunzhong: "Zhang Zhidong was a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty. Why did you stop me?"

Li Yunzhong seemed to have found an organization and shouted: "Do you think my rebellion has always been smooth? When I encounter a famous minister, I take the initiative to surrender, and when I meet a powerful general, I will accept it. Bah! History books are all lies!"

Zhao Yali blinked and replied, "Then Zuo Zongtang, what did Li Hongzhang say? You have taken two of the three heroes. Let me tell you, this cave belongs to me, don't make any decisions about him!"

Li Yunzhong didn't care, and looked tragic. He recalled the situation and said to himself: "I remember the first time I met Zuo Zongtang. At that time, in Changsha, this scholar actually swayed and persuaded me to surrender..."

Zhao Yali liked to hear these stories the most, so she quickly pulled Li Yunzhong into the guard's carriage and asked: "Speak quickly! Tell me quickly! What happened later? I didn't expect Zuo Zongtang to be so bold!"

Li Yunzhong agreed with his preference and continued: "At that time, I didn't know that he was Zuo Zongtang. Seeing that he was shameless, he rushed out. Or Jiao Liang reminded me that I immediately sent someone to chase him back. If it weren't for the urgent war, I would have chased him myself!"

Zhao Yali said: "Then Zuo Zongtang must have surrendered!"

Li Yunzhong smiled bitterly: "Surrender? It was him who persuaded me to surrender! Grandma, I persuaded Zuo Zongtang whenever I had time. From Changsha to Wuchang, from Wuchang to Nanjing, my mouth was worn out three layers!"

Zhao Yali made a face, looked at Li Yunzhong with comfort, and smiled: "This time Zuo Zongtang is the head of the head, so he bows!"

"I almost threw him in the head!" Li Yunzhong said proudly again: "But when he heard that I wanted to massacre the city, he immediately softened and begged me. In this way, we made three rules, so we were unwilling to do things for me, and we were not ready to be an official. It was not until our army gained a foothold in Nanjing and defeated the Jiangnan camp that Zuo Zongtang was devoted to his heart!"
