Chapter 209 Meet an Old Man, Mountain Forest Room
That day, Zeng Yanliang went hunting on the mountain as usual. He was chasing a hare and suddenly heard a "bang" sound, and the agile hare fell to the ground.
This scene seemed to be familiar. Zeng Yanliang slowed down and stared at it. Suddenly, he was surprised and happy.
"Brother 19?"
The person who wandered out of the woods was Xiao 19 of Qilin Camp. He turned a few small stones in his heart, bent down and picked up the dead rabbit on the ground and threw it to Zeng Yanliang. He smiled, "Brother Yan Liang, are you all right? Hahaha..."
Zeng Yanliang put away the rabbit and came to Xiaojiu. He looked in the direction he came. His brothers also came immediately and greeted Zeng Yanliang with a smile.
"Brother 19... Why did you... come here?" Zeng Yanliang remembered that when they separated from Xiao 19 at the beginning, Xiao 19 said that General Gu had set a date for them, and they had to do another important thing as soon as the date arrived.
Little Nineteen smiled and came over and patted Zeng Yanliang on the shoulder. "Isn't our team fighting? They competed for the first place again. General Gu, they are all behind.
When he said this, Zeng Yanliang was even more confused. Are all the Qilin Camps coming? What are they doing here?
"Is it..." Zeng Yanliang frowned and unconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "Is the important thing Brother Nineteen said before that General Gu is coming to Mr. Zhang?"
When Xiao 19 escorted them here, Leng Chengqi naturally mentioned the famous Mr. Zhang, but Xiao 19 didn't seem to know that there was such a number one person at all.
"That's what I said..." Xiaozhi looked back at the brothers who were gradually surrounding him and pointed forward, which meant that they should not stand here stupidly and continue to walk forward. When everyone dispersed, Xiao 19 lowered his voice and said to Zeng Yanliang, "I didn't hear it until after returning to that Chaoyang Village. Our General Gu was ordered by the emperor to invite a master out of the mountain. I don't know if it's Mr. Zhang who wants to be invited.
Zeng Yanliang now knows something about the situation in the court. It must be the emperor and King Xiaohan who feel that the situation is critical now, so he wants to ask Mr. Zhang to come forward to turn the tide. But after such a period of time at the peak of Zixia, Zeng Yanliang felt that even with the imperial edict, Mr. Zhang may not be able to go out of the mountain. First, because Mr. Zhang is old, it is said that he has passed his old age. Second, Zeng Yanliang heard from the people living nearby that Mr. Zhang had already made a grand wish that he would not take half a step out of the peak of summer in his life.
Living around the top of Zixia, except for the woodcutter hunters who have lived in this mountain for generations, the rest are literati who come to study. When they talk, Leng Xuanrong and Leng Chengqi can talk with them, but Zeng Yanliang intentionally or unintentionally stay away from these people. Zeng Yanliang probably heard about Mr. Zhang from Leng Xuanrong, so after thinking about it for a moment, he decided not to say this to Xiaojiu for the time being. After all, it is General Gu who has to do things, and there is no need to pour a basin of cold water before they go up the mountain.
Zeng Yanliang led the way in front of him, and everyone talked and laughed all the way to the foot of the top of Zixia.
After the whole Kirin Camp came down from the mountain in front and gathered at the foot of Zixia, Zeng Yanliang went to see Gu Zhiyi.
The Qilin camp team is very powerful, but at the foot of a big mountain, these people also seem to be a little sparse. Gu Zhiyi ordered the teams to find a place to camp and rest. After the order was issued, he saw Xiaojiu coming with Zeng Yanliang.
Zeng Yanliang came to Gu Zhiyi and saluted, "General Gu, I fled here with the father and daughter of the Leng family, but I didn't expect to see the general again."
Gu Zhiyi also punched Zeng Yanliang. He looked up at the bluestone steps hidden between the mountains and forests and asked, "Brother Yan Liang, have you ever seen Mr. Zhang?"
Zeng Yanliang saw that Gu Zhiyi was still unsmiling in the past, and there was a sense of intimacy in his heart. He nodded and replied, "Mr. Zhang lives in a hut halfway up the mountain. We have gone to visit him."
Gu Zhiyi asked about the situation on the mountain again, and finally decided to take a night's rest and then go up the mountain alone tomorrow.
When Gu Zhiyi was in Chaoyang Village, Gu Zhiyi heard Xiao 19 reply and said that Leng Xuanrong and his party had gone to the top of Zixia, and Gu Zhiyi felt a little surprised. Gu Zhiyi felt even more incredible when he heard that the famous Mr. Zhang personally wrote a letter to Leng Chengqi. Although Xiaojiu doesn't know who Mr. Zhang is, Gu Zhiyi is quite clear about what happened in the previous dynasty. The reason why Mr. Zhang has an influence on the government and the opposition after living in seclusion is not only because he is more knowledgeable. Normally, the identity of a person who can have some connections with him should be unusual, but Gu Zhiyi knows that Mr. Leng Chengqi was forced to a dead end and became a gambler. Now he can recover, which is probably due to his daughter Leng Xuanrong.
Before reaching the peak of Zixia, Gu Zhiyi was not very confident. The task he received was really extraordinary. Especially after experiencing the Chaoyangzhai incident, Gu Zhiyi also re-examined the situation in the middle of the North Korea. Previously, he thought there was room for manoeuvre, but now he believes the judgment of Du Yilin, the king of Xiaohan. This time, Gu Zhiyi came forward to do this matter. Although Du Yilin took advantage of Dou Haowei and Miss San, this trick made Gu Zhiyi a little disgusted, but on the other hand, I'm afraid Du Yilin had no other way. Although it is not the end of the road, it is also a last resort. If this is done, there should be a storm in the court. If it can't be done, I'm afraid that one move will be damaged and the whole game will be lost.
Gu Zhiyi still has the heavy letters specially sent by Du Yilin, but if he only relies on these and his own face, it will be a little difficult, but after listening to what Zeng Yanliang said, Gu Zhiyi has a little hope. He helped Du Yilin in Nayan County, even if he helped Leng Chengqi. In addition, many coincidences made the Kirin Camp have various connections with Zeng Yanliang and Leng Chengqi's daughter Leng Xuanrong. Even for the sake of those past events, Leng Chengqi should stand on the side of Gu Zhiyi and say a few useful words. .
Gu Zhiyi thought so, and his expression relaxed a lot.
In the evening, he buried the pot on the ground to make rice. Gu Zhiyi asked people to get hot water to bathe and change clothes, just waiting to go up the mountain the next day to visit the master.
Zeng Yanliang returned to the hut on the mountain, but found that Leng Xuanrong was missing. After a little inquiry with the people around him, he knew that Leng Xuanrong had been called by Mr. Zhang.
After living here for more than half a month, Zeng Yanliang heard who Mr. Zhang took the initiative to go there. He didn't dare to go to Mr. Zhang's place casually, so he had to stay in the hut to clean up the wild animals he brought back.
At this moment, Leng Xuanrong sat in Mr. Zhang's living room in a regular manner.
Mr. Zhang's cabin is not big, and this room is even smaller. The furnishings in the guest room are also very simple. There is only a small square table on the wooden floor, a candlestick and two celadon tea cups on the table, and four small round cushions sewn with coarse cloth around the table. Leng Xuanrong is now kneeling on one of the small cushions. In addition to these, there is only a pot of open orchids by the window and a few calligraphy and paintings hanging around the wall.
These calligraphy and paintings are very eye-catching. Leng Xuanrong waited for a long time and did not see Mr. Zhang come back, so she dared to get up and look at those paintings carefully.
The style of calligraphy and painting is different, and it can be seen that it is not done by the same person. One of them attracted Leng Xuanrong's eyes, and the painting was a peach forest with flowers in full bloom. The painter's brushwork is bold and detailed, and the scenery of Taolin is lifelike. Leng Xuanrong wanted to take a closer look at the poems and signatures mentioned at the top of the picture, but before she could see it clearly, as soon as the door opened, someone came in.
Leng Xuanrong was shocked and looked back. It was Mr. Zhang who came in.
The old man was holding a celadon teapot in his hand, and it seemed that he was going to make tea.
He entered the room and saw Leng Xuanrong standing in front of the painting with an embarrassed face. He smiled and said, "Do you like this painting?"
Leng Xuanrong returned to the small table, respectfully saluted Mr. Zhang who sat down, and replied, "The little girl is taking the liberty..."
Without finishing his words, Mr. Zhang waved his hand to Leng Xuanrong, "Sit down. I'll call you. You are my guest. You don't have to be so courteous."
Leng Xuanrong didn't even dare to be angry. Although the old man in front of him was always pleasant, he could give people great pressure. Before, Leng Xuanrong felt a little panicked when she just looked at it from a distance. Now that the two are sitting face to face, it is even more difficult for Leng Xuanrong to stabilize her mind.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the other party is just an old man after retreating, and Leng Xuanrong doesn't understand why she is so panicked in front of him.
Mr. Zhang poured two cups of tea, put one of them in front of Leng Xuanrong, then looked at Leng Xuanrong for a moment, and said, "There is a woman like this, and she is blessed."
Leng Xuanrong lowered her head and dared not look at Mr. Zhang's sight, so she had to whisper, "Sir, you praised..."
After that, there was an awkward silence in the room. Leng Xuanrong only felt that her heart was pounding, which was really unbearable. She looked up and saw that Mr. Zhang was drinking tea leisurely.
Leng Xuanrong took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to ask, "Mr. specially called Xuanrong here. I don't know... what's going on..."
Mr. Zhang smiled, put down the teacup and said quietly, "I heard Chengqi and Yandong talk about what happened in Kunyan County. There are some doubts, so I want to hear what you say again."
Oh no!
When Leng Xuanrong heard what Mr. Zhang said, he suddenly became cold.
At this time, she realized why she was so panicked in front of Mr. Zhang, because Mr. Zhang's eyes always seemed to be able to see through her mind. What she tried her best to hide, can she still hide it in front of this old man?
