After listening to Shen Kai's report, he felt his hands shaking violently.
"You made a big mistake."
Shen Kai said: "Yes, we are only one step away from catching Li Xia every time..."
"No." Zhang Hongdao shook his head and said, "You shouldn't let Yao Sui know about Li Xia. It doesn't matter if Yang Shen comes up with a song "Linjiang Immortal", but let the literati in the north think that Li Xia 'If you write these two or three masterpieces that will be handed down from generation to generation, things will be very different."
"this……"
Zhang Hongdao was a little absent-minded, and murmured: "I should have warned you earlier, not to let his lyrics spread... But who would have thought that... there would be one song after another, who would have thought?"
It wasn't until he said this that Shen Kai realized how serious the matter was.
Once Li Xia becomes famous, if the Zhang family's murder of Daru Huachi is revealed again...
After a moment of silence, Zhang Hongdao suddenly came back to his senses.
"Find Yao Sui's whereabouts immediately. I have to tell him not to make Li Xia famous and go quickly!"
Shen Kai panicked, turned around and ran away.
…
Zhang Hongdao sat there, feeling his eyelids twitching violently.
The feeling of being unable to control the situation is getting deeper and deeper.
"Wulang, would you like to have something to eat?" Lei Sanxi stepped forward and asked.
"No."
Zhang Hongdao shook his head and whispered to himself: "The peaks and mountains are like a gathering, and the waves are like angry waves... This little order is so good."
"Goro?"
"I originally thought that the song "Linjiang Immortal" was a new poem by a famous artist from Zhao and Song Dynasties. Li Xia stole it to scare people before it spread to the north. I even speculated that it might be Liu Kezhuang's new poem, but...but Plus this song "Mountain Goat"..."
Zhang Hongdao didn't sleep well for several nights, and his eyes were a little dark.
He muttered to himself, worry growing in his tired eyes.
"In today's literary world, even Liu Kezhuang cannot write two such masterpieces in a row, and even his vocabulary has not reached this level. In recent years, the King of Monan has hired people based mostly on their talents and reputations. One, just in case..."
"Please Wulang, don't scare yourself, things haven't reached that point yet."
"You don't understand poetry, you don't understand..."
Zhang Hongdao just sat there in a daze until Shen Kai came back.
"how?!"
Shen Kai just entered the door and was shouted at. He seemed startled and trembled before whispering: "Yao Xiaolangjun, Yan Fu... is... at Shijia Erlang's house..."
"Shi Zhang?"
"Yes, Shi Erlang hosted a banquet, and there were many literati...discussing...poems, songs, and poems..."
Zhang Hongdao was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
If it had been anyone else, he could have caught them all.
But Yao Sui and Shi Zhang were not things he could easily touch.
In terms of official positions, Yao Shu was a close minister of the Prince of Monan, with a transcendent status.
In terms of power, among the northern princes, the historian is the only one who can convince the Zhang family.
Zhang Hongdao was too lazy to go see Shi Erlang again. He was asking for help anyway, so he decided to go to Shi Tianze to ask for help. At least he would not be ashamed to bow to his elders.
"Listen carefully, I will ask the historical envoy to seal off Kaifeng City. After sealing off the city, we can catch Li Xia easier than before. The greater his reputation, the less chance he has to pretend. No matter he is No matter how he enters the city, no matter where he hides, the flaws will be exposed soon.
However, if we fail to catch him this time, the consequences will be disastrous. His fame will soon spread throughout the Central Plains, and the lives of the Zhang family, and your whole family, will only depend on his opening his mouth."
"Understood! Li Xia must be killed this time!"
Zhang Hongdao had a plan and felt a little at ease.
After calming down and thinking about it, Li Xia, even if he is famous, has actually been forced into a corner. As long as he is killed, it will be over.
But when he walked across the threshold, he tripped. He suddenly thought of Qiao Ju in a daze, and vaguely felt that... Li Xia was getting more and more difficult to deal with.
"I shouldn't have killed Eredunbari at that time. I made a mistake every step of the way..."
"We shouldn't have escaped that night at the Xiacaicheng post. We should have ambush there and kill Qiao Ju directly, leaving him without a chance to return to Bozhou."
That same night, Li Xia whispered something.
It's not that he is complaining, it's just a small review.
"That is, if I had killed Qiao Ju at that time, my brother and the others would not have died, and the Zhang family would not come after him now." Liu Jinsuo agreed.
"Shut up." Lin Zi whispered: "He said that because he has considered things more comprehensively now. If you know nothing, just follow what he says."
"oh."
Han Chengxu sat aside, twirling his long beard, and glanced at Li Xia again, his eyes showing contemplation, as if he had seen the other person's transformation.
"Let's talk about the next step." Li Xia said: "It's not convenient for me to show up in the city for the time being. Muru, please go to the city tomorrow and find out which family bought the sandalwood that Liniang mentioned. Because I suspect Lao Gui
It's Zhao Xin, someone gave him the information, and that scent was tainted at that time."
Gao Changshou nodded, frowned and muttered: "Fragrant wood after the rain... slightly sweet... what kind of fragrance is it?"
"Second brother should know."
A clear and shallow voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads, only to find that it was Gao Mingyue who had rarely spoken in public.
"It's ambergris, my second brother has used it before."
Li Xia shook his head and said: "It's not ambergris, it's just those kinds of precious sandalwood. I asked Liniang, and she said that ambergris has no fragrance at all, and its smell is almost smelly."
Gao Mingyue turned her body, as if she didn't like what he called "Liniang".
"Ambergris is divided into four grades: lower, middle and upper extreme. The lower grade is tasteless or rancid; the middle grade is like mud and slightly sweet; the top grade is like aromatic wood and sweet amber; the top grade is ever-changing and is called 'the sun and the moon shine together'"
The heaven is not old. Among all the incense, ambergris is the most expensive, with no less than a hundred thousand per tael, and the second grade is also fifty or sixty thousand. The best real ambergris is hard to come by. It is said that in Chengping of the Song Dynasty, the Queen of Ming Dynasty paid 200,000 incense.
The reward is only two cents."
This was the first time Gao Mingyue spoke for such a long period of time. She lowered her head and glanced at Li Xia inadvertently.
She didn't say anything else, but at this glance, there seemed to be a vague meaning of "You actually used Liniang to refute me."
Maybe that's not necessarily the case, but Li Xia feels this way anyway...
Liu Jinsuo counted on his fingers.
"Twenty thousand yuan...ten parts of twenty thousand yuan?"
"It's 10,000 and 20,000 yuan." Lin Zi shook his head helplessly.
"Twenty million dollars?!"
Lin Zidao reminded again: "Keep your voice down."
"Oh, who is the Queen of Mingjie?"
"Huizong's Empress."
"Huizong? The one who was captured by the Jin people..."
"you shut up."
"oh."
Gao Changshou said: "If Lao Gui has only stayed somewhere, the smell of ambergris remains on his body. It can be seen that it has a strong smell and is the best among the best. It is not difficult to find out."
Li Xia said: "Then I'll leave it to Muru."
He glanced at everyone, and then said: "It seems that we can't find Zhao Xin soon. The Zhang family has been chasing us, and we can't hide here for too long. Linzi, you go to the city to find some hiding places. We will
Just change somewhere to hide."
"good."
"I'll go with him." Liu Jinsuo said.
"No, don't go."
"oh."
Gao Mingyue said a rare word over there, and then took Han Qiaoer back to the house.
After a while, Han Qiaoer came out with a pile of clothes and said, "Brother Li, Sister Gao said we need to change places to hide, maybe change back to ordinary clothes, and she has sewed them for everyone."
Everyone took it individually.
Li Xia picked up the linen jacket and looked at it, and saw that Gao Mingyue had patched a piece of cloth under the trousers.
He nodded with satisfaction... knowing that he had grown taller again.
Liu Jinsuo said: "I don't need clothes. In this summer, I never wear clothes."
"I told you to put it on, do you still think your tattoos are not conspicuous enough?"
"But this needlework is so bad, such a big hole has not been repaired. Let me take a look... look at ours and theirs, that tall lady is very partial."
"Shut up!"
"Linzi, please speak softer, the inside of the city is no better than the outside..."
