The lounging figure on the street had turned around the alley. Zhang Hongdao ordered the carriage to stop, taking Zhou Nan and Lin Xu to follow quickly.
"Brother Bai, Brother Bai..."
The man walking in the alley turned around and saw that he was in his early thirties, with a handsome appearance and elegant demeanor.
"Far Frontier? Andao?"
"Brother Bai, long time no see." Zhou Nan quickly stepped forward and saluted, "It's been five years since we said goodbye to Sumen Mountain, right?"
Lin Xuyi stepped forward and said, "Brother Bai has reduced his income a lot again."
Bai Pu was also delighted to see his two old friends, and replied with a poem: "I'd like to ask if I'm too thin, but I always suffered from writing poems in the past."
Zhou Nan and Lin Xu understood each other and laughed heartily.
After talking about this for a while, Zhou Nanfang introduced: "This is Wu Lang of Zhang Shuai's family..."
Zhang Hongdao stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Zhang Hongdao, courtesy name Zhongshu. I have heard about Mr. Bai's name for a long time, and today I finally meet him."
"Wu Lang is polite..."
The two are talking about their generation. Coincidentally, Zhang Hongdao and Bai Pu are both thirty-one years old this year. Bai Pu is two months older, so Zhang Hongdao calls him "Brother Bai".
Nowadays, the literary world in the north is so big. There is only one recognized leader in the literary world, Yuan Haowen. The highest-ranking group of famous scholars is the Xingzhou School, and the best academy is Yao Shu’s Sumenshan Academy... Generally speaking, scholars in the north cannot escape from it.
these relationships.
Zhang Hongdao, Zhou Nan, Lin Xu, Qiao Ju and others studied with Hao Jing in the Zhangjia Academy when they were young. Later, Zhou Nan and Lin Xu went to Sumen Mountain. Zhang Rou also hired Yuan Haowen to tutor the children in the family.
Therefore, although Zhang Hongdao and Bai Pu met for the first time, they had many familiar relatives and friends in common.
"How is Mr. Yishan's health?"
"Uncle is old, I'm afraid..."
Bai Pu said, with deep worry and reluctance on his face. He shook his head and sighed: "Uncle, I miss my old friends recently. I went out this time to deliver messages to various places. I just went to see Mr. Taining and Mr. Hanjiang."
.”
Hearing that Yuan Hao was not in good health, Zhang Hongdao also felt a little depressed and said a few words of relief.
"Not only Mr. Taining, Mr. Hanjiang, but also someone from the Zhang family should visit Mr. Yishan. Unfortunately, my father is about to go on an expedition."
"Don't worry, Wulang. Uncle just has a manuscript that he wants to entrust to you gentlemen."
"By the way, is your father okay? This hook test didn't involve him, right?"
Bai Pu said: "I sent a family letter not long ago, and asked Shi Shuai to protect me. My father is still safe for the time being."
When it comes to Yuan Haowen, Bai Pu feels deeply grateful and sad. But when it comes to Bai Hua, he is not so concerned.
Zhang Hongdao saw this and asked, "Brother Bai, does he know the current situation of the Shi family?"
Bai Pu smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, I have been by my uncle's side in recent years."
"Brother Bai, haven't you heard about Shi Jia Erlang?"
"He released a new song?"
"That's not true." Zhang Hongdao relaxed his brows slightly and said with a smile, "Brother Bai, how about we sit down and talk?"
"Wu Lang, do you have something to ask?"
"That's right." Zhang Hongdao pointed to the tea shop on the roadside, and the group went over and sat down.
Bai Pu was obviously worried about Yuan Haowen's health. He looked depressed and was not in the mood to drink tea.
"I heard that Brother Bai composed a song called "Tian Jing Sha" last year?"
"I wrote it because of two fragmentary sentences." Bai Pu said: "There was some conflict between the truth and Wu Lang's words at that time, and I already regret it."
"So, Brother Bai has heard of Li Xia?"
Bai Pu nodded and said, "I have heard about his deeds."
Zhang Hongdao pondered for a moment and then asked: "There is a person beside Li Xia named Han Chengxu, and his son is named Han Qi'an. He is married to..."
"I know." Bai Pu said, "Brother Yi Ning married Sister Aluan."
"Brother Bai knows the Yuan family?"
"Sister Aluan lost her father when she was young and was raised by my uncle. My uncle regards her as my own son and his own daughter."
"Brother Bai really knows Han Qi'an?"
"I met them once when they got married. I was still a young boy at that time and they were in their prime."
Zhang Hongdao was not surprised and asked: "What happens next? Brother Bai still has contact with the Han family?"
"How to contact me?" Bai Pu said with a bitter smile: "There was great chaos at the end of the Jin Dynasty, and my father was not in the capital. Fortunately, I was saved by my uncle. Only my father and son survived in the Bai family, and everyone in the family was killed. The Han family was also miserable, lost in the war.
Zhong. We have lost contact with each other since then.”
Zhang Hongdao said: "But later Mr. Yishan was protected by Yelu Chucai, and Brother Bai has gradually become famous in recent years. Now that life has become better, the Han family has not come back to look for you?"
"I heard that they were taken captive to the Song Dynasty, and I'm afraid they won't be able to return easily."
"What else does Brother Bai know?"
"I don't know what's going on next to me. What do you want to know about Wulang?"
Zhang Hongdao sighed and said, "It's just based on my feelings. An uncle of mine defected to the Song Dynasty a while ago... With the world in such chaos, sometimes the whole family has to work for different courts, which is sad."
"Yes, so neither my uncle nor I have become officials."
Zhang Hongdao found out Bai Pu's background and asked no more questions, saying, "Well, if I find Han Qi'an, how about taking him to see Mr. Yishan?"
"Then thank you Wu Lang." Bai Pu hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said, "Uncle has been missing his relatives and friends recently. It would be a good thing to see Brother Yi Ning and Sister Aluan."
Zhang Hongdao looked at Bai Pu deeply for a while, and seeing his calm expression, the last doubt in his heart disappeared.
"I have something else to do. I'll come to visit Brother Bai later. By the way, I wonder where Brother Bai is staying?"
Bai Pu raised his hand and pointed, "Not far away, the Yunxiu Inn is right in front..."
That evening, Liu Zhongzhi opened the door and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Bai, did you meet Zhang Hongdao today?"
"Um?"
Liu Zhong smiled and said, "You still want to hide it from me. I've heard about it. You met him on the road at noon."
"Did Zhang Hongdao tell you?"
"How could he tell me?" Liu Zhizhong said: "When you went out today, he came to the governor's house. Several of his men were looking around, not knowing what they were trying to find out. It seemed that they wanted to frame me for colluding with Li Xia.
"
"Is Liu Experience colluding with Li Xia?"
"Isn't it ridiculous? It's like referring to a deer as a horse." Liu Zhizhong sat down opposite Bai Pu and said: "When Zhang Hongdao leaves, I will send someone to follow them secretly. The Zhang family is alert and difficult to follow, but two of the scholars are not too careful.
Be careful, my people heard them."
"Oh? What did you say?"
"What else can you say? When they saw you, they discussed inviting you to a banquet and talking about poetry and poetry."
"oh."
A look of thought flashed across Bai Pu's eyes.
Liu Zhongzhi suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, I heard that Yuan Haowen... No, Mr. Yishan's time is running out, why didn't you mention it before?"
Bai Pu sighed: "On one hand, my biological father is in trouble, and on the other hand, my adoptive father is old, so what can I do?":.
"Yeah, it's always difficult to have both ends of the world." Liu Zhongzhi also sighed with emotion, "Who has it easy? You know, I married a Mongolian woman, she is very beautiful, but I still have to serve her day and night... Alas,
When I was young, there was a girl next door who was interested in me, but it was such a pity."
Bai Pu ignored him and asked, "Has Liu experienced Li Xia?"
"No."
"Not in Zhang Rou's team?"
Liu Zhongzhi frowned and said: "When Zhang Rou returned this time, he was accompanied by Yang Guo, the newly appointed governor of Shouzhou. Yang Guo was originally a counselor, but he was demoted to Shouzhou, but he brought a whole family with him to take office.
There are hundreds of people, it’s hard for me to check.”
Bai Pu said: "Then Li Xia is probably among them?"
"Mr. Bai thinks so?"
"Otherwise, Zhang Rou was eager to go on an expedition, so why would she bring so many people to slow down her journey? Isn't it possible that she wanted to hide Li Xia?"
Liu Zhong kept nodding his head and muttered: "It's so suspicious."
Bai Pu seemed a little worried. He walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window with his hands on his hands, and asked, "When will the people sent to Luyi come back?"
Inadvertently, his tone seemed to be that of Liu Zhongzhi's boss.
"The day after tomorrow."
"It's too slow. Li Xia may have escaped from Bozhou by then."
Liu Zhong asked directly: "What should we do?"
Bai Pu pondered: "Liu Qingcheng might as well test Zhang Hongdao, tell him your speculations, and test his reaction, how about it?"
"My guess? What my guess?"
Liu Zhongzhi was a little embarrassed, frowned, and said slowly: "The Zhang family had a disobedient heart, so they contacted Zhao Song. Zhao Song sent Li Xia north to Bozhou, and Eri Dunbari discovered the matter, so
Zhang Hongdao killed Eredunbari?"
Bai Pu said: "How did Eri Dunbari find out?"
"How do I know?"
"Chi Na?" Bai Pu seemed to be thinking, more like reminding.
"China?"
Bai Pu said: "I went out today for a secret investigation and heard that Chi Na has always been interested in the daughter of the Zhang family... Could that be the case? When Chi Na was pursuing the daughter of the Zhang family, she discovered that the Zhang family was in contact with Zhao and Song."
"So the Zhang family killed Chi Na? So they formed a deadly feud with Eri Dunbari?"
Bai Pu said: "I think the news from Luyi will be able to confirm this. By the way, I also heard in the city that several capable subordinates of the Zhang family also died last year. Qiao Ju and Fan Yuan, they were all related to Chi Na.
conflict……"
Liu Zhongzhi suddenly understood and said: "With these details, our speculation is probably true. So will testing Zhang Hongdao scare him?"
"Instead of dealing with the Zhang family, it's better to just capture Li Xia."
"What does this mean?"
Bai Pu turned his back to him and said: "Make a deal with Zhang Hongdao. Tell him, 'I already know what you have done. You hand over Li Xia and I will hide it for you.' In this way, the Zhang family avoided a big disaster."
Despite the misfortune, Liu Xingcheng has made a great contribution and everyone can live in peace. Isn't it wonderful?"
Liu Zhong smiled while stroking his palms.
"You Bai Pu, in order to help the Shi family save people and protect the Zhang family, you actually came up with such an idea?"
Bai Pu said: "It's also helping Liu experience meritorious service. It's the best of all three, isn't it?"
Liu Zhongzhi laughed loudly and said: "But I think you calculated it from beginning to end, including me, hahaha."
Bai Pu didn't look back and said casually.
"Indeed, I calculated Liu's experience..." To provide you with the fastest update of the Final Song Dynasty, Chapter 377 is free to read whether it is true or false.:.
