Looking at Yang Jikang leaving angrily, Li Hong reached out and patted Bai Chun's shoulder to express comfort and praise.
In the minds of other Tang people, or what Yang Jikang said just now about buying and selling people, it was not an insult to Li Hong.
But in Bai Chun's eyes, especially since following Li Hong, her values and outlook on life have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Her first reaction to Yang Jikang's words just now was that he was insulting Li Hong, so Bai Chun suddenly became angry.
Now, in her heart, Li Hong is even more important than her life, and he is not someone Yang Jikang can insult at will. She belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness can give him away, but he must not allow others to take it from the Crown Prince. Buy it yourself, unless His Highness the Crown Prince is willing.
Li Hong stood up, looked around at the crowd who were still watching, raised his hands to Zhang Yi and Shen Junliang and said, "I would like to thank you two for just now. If it weren't for your mediation..."
"Young master, please be polite. I'll use your two guards' skills. Those people won't hurt you. But this teahouse is opened by Brother Shen. If there is a bad fight or argument, it will affect the future." It's business." Zhang Yi returned the favor and said with a smile.
"Then it's really my fault. I hope what happened today will not affect Brother Shen's business in the future. Everything that was damaged today will be borne by me. I also hope that the two brothers, Haihan, will take care of her today." The impulse." Li Hong pointed at Bai Chun who stood up with him, and said lightly.
Shen Junliang and Zhang Yi looked at each other. Although the young man in front of him, who was about twenty years old, was apologizing, his expression showed no trace of guilt at all, whether it was his behavior, attitude, or body. That vague and vague aura carries a hint of sharpness and aloofness.
"These are all easy to say. They are just some tables and chairs. I don't think you have to pay for it, sir. But what happens in three days will be difficult to deal with. And even if you want to leave Hangzhou City at this time, sir, it is obviously impossible. "Shen Junliang said generously, the loss of some tables and chairs is nothing compared to this young master's identity.
Although he still doesn't know the identity of this young man, but with the combination of fierceness and elegance in him, this person's identity is obviously not simple. He is probably a member of the military, a famous general.
If it was as he guessed, they might as well get to know each other, maybe they could find another way out for Zhang Yi to embark on an official career, so that he wouldn't have to look at Yang Jikang's face all the time.
Li Hong smiled and nodded, understanding what Shen Junliang meant. From now on, he was already being targeted by Yang Jikang. It was obviously impossible to leave Hangzhou City within three days.
"You haven't asked Mr. Gao for his name yet?" Zhang Yi asked after introducing himself.
"My Li Bai, a native of Jingzhao, came to Hangzhou to broaden his horizons when I had nothing to do after the spring blossoms." Li Hong said calmly without concealing where he came from.
But every time I mentioned my name as Li Bai, I always felt a chill on the back of my head. I felt that Comrade Taibai in the future might hate himself to death or hit him on the back of the head with a stick.
"Master Li, I wonder if the next few people will continue to stay in Hangzhou? If they want to leave and not attend the Gushan Banquet in three days, we may try to see if we can do it without being discovered by him. If possible, I will send you out of Hangzhou." Zhang Yi also knew that Li Bai's identity was by no means ordinary, but compared to Yang Jikang, not to mention that he was still in Hangzhou. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, so it is better to be more cautious.
Shen Junliang winked at Zhang Yi repeatedly. By sending this person away secretly, wouldn't it mean that you and Yang Jikang were already married? How could you possibly want to enter an official career through Yang Jikang's father in the future
What's more, this young master's identity is not simple at first glance. Taking advantage of the dispute with Yang Jikang, it's time to get acquainted and see if I can find another way to enter the official career for you. How is this? He also started to really want to have a relationship with Yang Jikang because of these people.
"No need, I will stay in Hangzhou City for a while and won't leave for the time being." Li Hong said with a smile, and then asked Mang Zhong to give him some money and planned to leave right away.
"Brother Li, stay..." Zhang Yi stopped Li Hong and looked at the crowd around him. At this time, under Shen Junliang's arrangement, he sat down again. No one paid attention to them anymore, so he walked to Li Hong In front of him, he whispered: "Brother, I can tell, judging from your demeanor and demeanor, I guess brother you are not an ordinary person, but Yang Jikang is a big shot like the governor of Hangzhou and the governor after my important minister in the Tang Dynasty. , I will also give him three points. If you stay here on purpose, I’m afraid you won’t get any benefits.”
Zhang Yi didn't know why, but he couldn't help but want to help this little brother, so as not to suffer Yang Jikang's losses in Hangzhou.
As for what he had been thinking about for a long time, being recommended into an official career, he had long forgotten about it at this time.
Li Hong looked up at the ceiling, and then looked at Zhang Yi with a smile. He was in his mid-twenties, with a medium build, dark complexion, and a simple and unpretentious face. Compared with Zhang Liang who hung in the Lingyan Pavilion, It's quite pleasing to the eye.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry. I'll see you in Gushan in three days. I just want to see what Yang Jikang can do. Then I might as well bring Brother Shen over with me, so we can have a good drink and say goodbye." Li After Hong finished speaking, he no longer gave Zhang Yi a chance to speak, and hurriedly walked down the stairs with Bai Chun, Mang Zhong and Cheetah.
After Shen Junliang apologized and appeased the other guests in the hall, when he came to Zhang Yi again, he saw that Li Hong and others had disappeared, and only Zhang Yi stared blankly at the empty staircase.
"Hey, hey, are you stupid? Don't you know your own situation?" Shen Junliang pulled Zhang Yi to sit down in front of the tea seat again, and complained angrily: "Yang Jikang is the only one who can recommend you to enter the official career. You have already offended him today, and you still want to help that noble disciple escape. If this happens, won't your career be completely ruined? "
Zhang Yi came back to his senses, looked at his friend who was anxious for him, smiled and said: "You have seen Yang Jikang's appearance. He is domineering, arrogant and arrogant. He may not really recommend me. Even if he asks his father to recommend me Do you think the imperial court will agree to enter the official career? Besides, I am not a civil servant, so I can only join the army. With my grandfather's experience... do you think the imperial court will reuse me or hire me? "
"But you have to give it a try. It's better to have a chance than no chance. If you act like this today, aren't you ruining your only chance? Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, what is the Ministry of Personnel? The head of the six departments, in charge It is a place where hundreds of officials are in the world. How can you bear to give up such a good opportunity?" Shen Junliang hated the iron. He just took a sip of tea and quickly spit it into the spittoon at his feet. He was anxious and looked at the tea. It was too hot. .
"So what? Although my grandfather and father have been rehabilitated long ago, and I have inherited their titles and become the founding prince of the Tang Dynasty, but... I think the court's favor to me is just like this. Based on the lessons learned by my grandfather and father, the court Nowadays, people are very cautious. It is so difficult for the court to hire a rebellious minister." Zhang Yi looked lonely and indescribably desolate, looking at Li Hong's figure outside the window at the door of the jade shop. , and after wandering around for a while, Shi Shiran left.
"Then how are you going to send him away? I'm really afraid of you. I think you are the only one in Hangzhou who dares to do this to offend Yang Jikang!" Shen Junliang shook his head and sighed, blowing on his tea in frustration. road.
"I have no plans to leave, and we have agreed that in three days, I will go to Gushan with you to see Yang Jikang..."
"What? He doesn't plan to leave? Does he still want to compete with Yang Jikang? Is he crazy? No, wait, let me think about it..." After Shen Junliang heard Zhang Yi's words, he was so surprised that he almost screamed.
His fingers trembled in the air, his head lowered to the table, and he murmured to himself: "I told him Yang Jikang's family background, and also told him your family background, and you also agreed to help him leave Hangzhou City, but he Rejection, what does this mean? Guess, what does this mean?”
"What else can it mean? Mr. Li is either young and energetic, or he has someone to rely on." Zhang Yi looked at Shen Junliang's hurried attitude and said calmly.
"Yes, which one do you think is closer to the truth? That's for sure after he became a noble. After knowing Yang Jikang's family background, he dared to challenge Yang Jikang alone in Hangzhou when he first arrived. He is more youthful and energetic. , or is there someone to rely on? Why do I feel more youthful and energetic?" Shen Junliang frowned and said with some worry.
"If it were you, you would do the same to him. This is called a man's responsibility, and it is also called being young and energetic without considering the consequences! What's more, there is such a beautiful little lady beside you. If it were another man, Naturally, he will not lose his momentum in front of the beauty at this time. Naturally, he will stay. At least he must prove to the beauty around him that he is not a timid person, but... "
"Yes, what Brother Zhang said is absolutely true. What's more, today's conflict was originally caused by that beautiful fairy. So Li Bai naturally didn't want to lose his manliness in front of that lady, so he went alone on this trip. "Shan, of course, he has to go, and he still calls you and me, which is considered smart. He knew that when he was defeated, he and you helped him. He killed two birds with one stone," Shen Junliang's analysis was clear and logical. .
Zhang Yi, who was interrupted by him, looked at Shen Junliang speechlessly and said helplessly: "I want to say that he may have more to rely on. They are just polite invitations to you and me. What's more, this matter My son is the next one for you and me. Judging from the extraordinary demeanor of this young master, he is definitely not afraid of Yang Jikang, and it is not due to his youth and arrogance. "
"How is it possible? What can you rely on at the age of about twenty years old? In terms of family background, can he be more powerful than Yang Jikang?" Shen Junliang recognized that Li Hong was young and energetic, so he agreed to Yang Jikang's invitation!
What's more, Li Bai has an invisible fierce aura about him, and he looks like a member of the military. After a famous general, although his status as a soldier is now improved compared to previous years.
But in the court, compared with the civil servants, the generals are still not as prominent as they were when the late emperor founded the country. Obviously, it is impossible for Li Bai to defeat Yang Jikang.
