Chapter Eighty-Four: Follow the Trend

"What does the professor want when he recognizes me?"

Wen Huanzhang glanced behind Li Yan and said, "The people waiting for Master Li Zhai are here." ”

Li Yan heard this, went back to look, and saw an old man with white hair walking straight towards him.

After Zhang San saw it, he whispered: "Brother, he is Lin Chong's brother-in-law, Zhang Jiaotou." ”

After listening to Zhang San's words, Li Yan stood up, and then rushed to Zhang Jiaotou who came to him and bowed, and said, "The little nephew has seen Uncle." ”

Zhang Jiaotou hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Don't dare!" In order to get rid of those doglegs that should be killed in the high ya, I delayed some more time, please forgive me...... I don't know who the two are the money leopard Tang Long? ”

Li Yan said: "Neither of us is either, Brother Tang Long is busy with his cousin's affairs. ”

Zhang Jiaotou asked, "Who are the two?" ”

Li Yan said: "Don't you know him, he is Zhang San, a street rat." ”

Zhang Jiaotou looked at Zhang San carefully for a while before he said, "You are not the one who followed Master Lu......"

Zhang San smiled and said: "I am no longer an idler, a few of us have gone up the mountain with the master to join the gang." ”

Zhang Jiaotou said: "Okay, young people still have to do something!" Then he looked at Li Yan and asked, "Then Your Excellency is?" ”

Li Yan said: "I am Li Yan. ”

Zhang Jiaotou was taken aback, and then arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be the master of Li Zhai, thank you for taking in the son-in-law of the master of Li Zhai!" ”

Li Yan said: "It is an honor for Xiaozhai for Brother Lin Chong to join Xiaozhai...... Uncle, Brother Lin Chong told Uncle in the letter, I don't know what Uncle thinks? ”

Zhang Jiaotou pondered for a while before he said noncommittally: "The son-in-law is inevitably a little ruthless." ”

"Hey!"

Li Yan sighed and said, "He also had no way out at that time...... He suffered a lot of sins and almost died several times, but fortunately he was rescued by Master Lu and Chai Daguanren and others before he came to Xiaozhai alive. ”

Zhang Jiaotou said: "He didn't say anything about this in his letter, what did he go through?" ”

Listening to Zhang Jiaotou ask Lin Chong about his experience in the past half a year, Li Yan briefly told Zhang Jiaotou how Gao Yu sent Dong Chao and Xue Ba persecuted Lin Chong, how Lu Zhishen saved Lin Chong in the wild boar forest, how Gao Yu sent Lu Qian and Fu An to burn the forage field, how Chai Jin saved Lin Chong, and how Lin Chong went to Shuibo Liangshan.

After listening to Li Yan's story, Zhang Jiaotou, who has always regarded Lin Chong as his own son, burst into tears, and Wen Huanzhang on the side sighed: "Lin Jiaotou is dying!" ”

At this time, Zhang Jiaotou saw Wen Huanzhang, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and said, "I didn't notice that the professor was there." ”

Li Yan was surprised: "The two of you know? ”

Zhang Jiaotou said: "I met the professor 20 years ago, when he just came to Kaifeng Mansion, I vaguely remember how high-spirited he was at that time, I don't want to ......", speaking of which, Zhang Jiaotou realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "Don't blame the professor, people are old, love in the past, and there have been many changes in the family recently......

Wen Huanzhang said: "It's okay. ”

Although Wen Huanzhang said that it was okay, his loneliness could be heard even by Zhang San.

It's understandable to think about it, Wen Huanzhang is talented and learned, but he is not valued all his life, and now he is nearly fifty years old.

At this time, it is no better than the future generations, fifty years old is still middle-aged, and now fifty-year-old people are really old people.

Ten years ago, Wen Huanzhang began to sing Bai Juyi's "Bathing", and now he has changed to sing Meng Haoran's "Return to Nanshan at Dusk", and he should sing Li Bai's "Qiupu Song" in another ten years.

Three thousand feet of white hair,

The fate is like a long.

I don't know in the mirror,

Where to get autumn frost.

"Old!"

"Will the imperial court still use me, an old man?"

"I guess so."

"Taishi Cai is now almost ancient, and he is not the same as the prime minister."

"Yes...... Taishi Cai was admitted to the rank of scholar at the age of twenty-three, how can I compare? ”

For a while, Wen Huanzhang was infinitely lonely!

Seeing this, Li Yan tidied up his clothes, and then solemnly bowed to Wen Huanzhang and said, "If the professor is willing to condescend, I am willing to worship the professor as a military advisor!" ”

Shuibo Liangshan not only lacks literati, but also lacks an upright literati, and if this continues, the atmosphere will surely be corrupted.

Intrigue is indispensable for a force, but it cannot all be intrigue, and it is necessary to have a dignified and upright spirit to suppress unhealthy tendencies, so that this force can grow healthily.

Wang Lun's talented and immoral guy specified that he did not have this upright atmosphere, and Sun Jing's half-hearted guy also specified that he did not have this upright spirit, and Wen Huanzhang, who repeatedly persuaded Gao Yu to do the right thing, was even abandoned by Gao Yu and finally lost to Song Jiang as a hostage, but he had the potential in this regard.

Therefore, Li Yan really hopes that Wen Huanzhang will go up the mountain!

And Wen Huanzhang obviously has some meaning in this regard, otherwise he can't directly break Li Yan's identity, and it is impossible for him not to leave until now, obviously, he feels that he is getting older and older and will not be born again, Wen Huanzhang, who will never have the opportunity to be born again, also has the intention of going to Shuibo Liangshan, at least to see if Shuibo Liangshan has done anything.

Seeing that Li Yan directly worshiped him as a military advisor, Wen Huanzhang nodded secretly!

However, Wen Huanzhang still said: "Dare to ask the ambition of the owner of the village, is it Zhao'an, or do you have other plans?" ”

In the eyes of the vast majority of people, Zhao'an is the most correct path and the only good way out for strongmen.

It is precisely because of this that Song Jiang, who advocates Zhao'an, can be supported by more people, and finally defeat Chao Gai, who is unwilling to recruit An.

Therefore, before leading the heroes of Shuibo Liangshan to find a new way out, Li Yan must not expose that he does not accept the idea of Zhao'an, otherwise Shuibo Liangshan will have to make a big mess.

Of course, Li Yan can't use Zhao'an to win people's hearts, let alone let the wind of Zhao'an blow, once there are many people who think that Zhao'an is the only way out, then they will push Li Yan to Zhao'an, the dead road, and then Li Yan's Shuibo Liangshan will go to the road taken by Songjiang's Shuibo Liangshan, and finally perish.

Based on these, Li Yan said: "Follow the trend. ”

Wen Huanzhang stared at Li Yan for a while and said, "The owner of the village seems to have reservations. ”

Li Yan didn't answer and asked, "The professor thinks I will go against the trend?" ”

"Uh......"

Wen Huanzhang was speechless.

After a long while, Wen Huanzhang said: "The owner of the village allows me to think about it for a few days." ”

Li Yan said: "Naturally, this is a lifelong thing. ”

Wen Huanzhang laughed at himself: "How can there be a lifetime, if I have twenty years to live, it will be the favor of God." ”

Li Yan persuaded and explained: "Jiang Ziya became the prime minister at the age of eighty, but Professor Yan knows that he can't become the second Jiang Shang?" ”

Wen Huanzhang's expression moved!

Li Yan consciously said more, turned to Zhang Jiaotou, and asked, "I don't know if Uncle and the lady are willing to go back to the mountain with me and reunite with Lin Chong's brothers?" ”

"Hey!"

Zhang Jiaotou sighed and said: "I hope that the little son-in-law will not lose the little girl again!" ”
