Twenty or thirty people from Dongye's side arrived at the north gate of Quanzi Village on time.
Li Yuanjing had always had a strong sense of time, and he had prepared thirty or forty men in advance, and together with nearly twenty chicken buses, people from both sides merged into one team and headed straight for the county seat.
If we say yesterday that he rashly went to see his young master Zhang Zhiji like this, Li Yuanjing was still a little uneasy and not too confident.
But at this time, with the secret provided by Xiugu, Li Yuanjing's confidence has undoubtedly increased!
after all.
With this trump card in hand, Li Yuanjing seems to have the capital to exchange with Zhang Zhiji!
Although it didn't snow today, the wind was so strong that it felt like we were transported to the ancient Ice Age. There was not a single soul in sight on the road.
Perhaps because the news of Young Master Zhang Zhiji's arrival had spread, several groups of bandits that had been entrenched near the official road were now more well-behaved than rabbits, and they had long since lost track of where to hide.
At noon.
Li Yuanjing and his party arrived at the county town smoothly.
Chen Chuxue was asked to take people to sell the new threads produced by the textile workshops. After some inquiries, Li Yuanjing and others confirmed Zhang Zhiji's residence and went straight to the inn.
Notice.
Even though Li Yuanjing has made a lot of money recently and is not very short of money, the textile workshop still needs to be taken seriously.
Because this is a stable income, even if it is not much, it is a pretty good sign.
However.
Li Yuanjing and his party arrived outside the inn where Zhang Zhiji was staying, but they were all a little confused.
I saw——
Li Yuanjing's rich second-generation classmate Liu Haoran and a middle-aged man who looked very similar to him were kneeling tremblingly at the door of the inn in the cold wind.
Even though they were almost freezing, they didn't dare to make the slightest move and still gritted their teeth and endured.
What is this scenario?
"Master Li, these two people are father and son. They are Liu Yun and his son from Liuji Trading Company, a famous grain merchant in Fengcheng County."
Master Dong was also shocked, but he was very deep in the city, so he quickly recovered and hurriedly introduced Li Yuanjing in a low voice.
Li Yuanjing naturally knew what he was thinking, but he still said to Dong Ye:
"Thank you Mr. Dong for the tip."
When Master Dong saw Li Yuanjing's attitude, he suddenly felt more at ease. But seeing the misery of Liu Yun and his son, he felt a little unsure. He could only rub his hands and didn't know what to do.
Li Yuanjing had already calmed down by this time, and he smiled directly and said to the leader of the soldiers on duty outside the door:
"This military master, my Excellency Li Yuanjing, is an old acquaintance of the young master. I have something important to ask to see the young master. I would like to trouble this elder brother to inform the younger brother."
"Li Yuanjing?"
The leader of the soldiers on duty at the door was not the one who accompanied Zhang Zhiji that day. He had his eyes raised to the sky and didn't even bother to look at Li Yuanjing.
But when Mu Ran heard Li Yuanjing's name, he immediately became alert and quickly opened his eyes to look at Li Yuanjing carefully.
The few soldiers next to him also looked normal.
As the leader of the soldiers exchanged words with several of his companions, he hurried forward with Qiao Qiao with a smile, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Yuanjing deeply:
"I asked why it looks so familiar. It turns out to be you, Mr. Li. Mr. Li, please wait a moment, and I will go to report it to you right away!"
Finished.
The leader of the soldiers bowed and bowed to Li Yuanjing again for a while, and then quickly ran towards the inn.
"this……"
The crowd watching the excitement around was immediately dumbfounded.
Who would have thought...
Even for Liu Yun, a powerful man from Fengcheng, it was more difficult to meet the young master than to reach heaven, but how could this frail scholar-looking young man in front of him...
Just saying your name can make these high-minded soldiers be so respectful...
At this time.
Naturally, Liu Yun, Liu Haoran and his son also saw Li Yuanjing.
Liu Haoran hurriedly approached Liu Yun's ear and whispered a few words, obviously introducing Li Yuanjing's identity.
Even though he was Liu Yun, he couldn't help but be a clever person and looked at Li Yuanjing with admiration.
But just as Liu Haoran was about to stand up and talk to Li Yuanjing, Liu Yun grabbed him and shouted in a low voice:
"Don't move around, just kneel down."
"Forehead……"
Liu Haoran was immediately stunned.
I don’t understand why Li Yuanjing obviously received a lot of courtesy from Zhang Zhiji, and he knew Li Yuanjing, so why didn’t he take this opportunity to borrow Li Yuanjing’s influence?
But Liu Yun didn't bother to explain to Liu Haoran at all, he just glared at Liu Haoran fiercely.
This made Liu Haoran unhappy, but he didn't dare to say another word.
I can only sigh in my heart:
What kind of bad luck did this little brat Li Yuanjing have? How come he has such great reputation with Zhang Zhiji?
Li Yuanjing naturally saw the little actions of Liu Haoran and his son, including Mr. Dong who was obviously very excited next to him.
But at this time, at the door of someone else's house, Li Yuanjing would not be rash and wait patiently without squinting.
soon.
Hearty laughter came from inside the inn, and Zhang Zhiji actually came out in person, holding Li Yuanjing's hand affectionately and saying:
"Mr. Li, why are you here? I just want to finish my busy work and go visit you again."
quiet.
As soon as Zhang Zhiji, who was dressed in a brocade robe and looked extremely noble, said these words, the whole world seemed to become quiet.
Not to mention Liu Haoran, even Liu Yun, his jaw dropped to the ground, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Who doesn't know.
The young master's eyes were as high as his head, and he never paid attention to anyone. But at this moment...how could he be so respectful to Li Yuanjing, a poor scholar, and directly address him as 'sir'...
Look at your son again...
Liu Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, we have the same people but different fates...
"You are so kind to me, young master. The student happens to have a batch of goods that he wants to sell in the county. I found out that you are staying here, so I came to visit you."
"Ha ha."
"That's a great feeling. Sir, the wine is just warm here. Today, we must have a good drink!"
Li Yuanjing's arrival obviously put Zhang Zhiji in a very good mood, and he pulled Li Yuanjing and walked towards the warm inn.
Only the people outside the inn were left with their jaws shattered to pieces.
But when Mr. Dong looked at the backs of Li Yuanjing and Zhang Zhiji who had quickly disappeared, his old eyes couldn't help but shine. He kept rubbing his hands and sighing, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
Arriving at the large warm room where Zhang Zhiji was staying, Li Yuanjing exchanged a few polite words with Zhang Zhiji, drank a few glasses of wine, then stopped writing and directly informed Zhang Zhiji of the reason for his trip.
and.
Li Yuanjing did not hide anything, including the fact that Mr. Dong gave him three thousand taels of silver. He told it clearly.
And said:
"Young Master, I have already brought the money that Mr. Dong gave me. You can have it shipped to you."
Zhang Zhiji drank a glass of wine with all his strength and laughed:
"Sir, I know what you mean, and I believe in your character. However, although I do lack military resources at this time, it is not to this extent! Since the money was given to you by the master, you can just keep it.
, just in time to help the people repair the earth wall."
"As for my share."
Zhang Zhiji smiled evilly at Li Yuanjing:
"Since Chen Dong is so sensible, I think he has already prepared my share for me!"
"Um, this..."
Li Yuanjing was well aware of Dong Ye's subsequent operations, but at this time, he seemed to have deliberately shown this character to Zhang Zhiji, so how could he refute it at all?
Unable to stop shaking his head and laughing, he said:
"Young Master, you are so ridiculous. No wonder people say, 'You are a scholar who is useless'. I am really stupid in reading, and I almost caused you a lot of trouble..."
Zhang Zhiji couldn't help laughing:
"Sir, you are being too modest. You just haven't really experienced the secular world. But with your intelligence, it goes without saying. At most, in three or two months, you can clearly see these unspeakable tricks.
Wow."
Obviously.
Li Yuanjing's deliberate "flaw" performance made Zhang Zhiji more fond of him and became closer to him.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Li Yuanjing pretended to be a little overwhelmed and said:
"Well, young master, this Dongye matter..."
Zhang Zhiji couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Don't worry, sir, this time, instead of causing trouble for me, you have actually done me a big favor!"
"This kind of local tycoon has worked hard in Fengcheng for many years, so why should I not accept him?"
"Moreover, this time I not only have to accept this Master Dong, but I also have to let everyone know that I, Zhang Zhiji, have accepted this Master Dong!"
