Chapter 244: Tracking Clues

Zhang Xuan also knew that it was not easy to find Li Zitong, not only were there too many people who came to Luoyang to participate in the imperial examination and the heroes' meeting, but Li Zitong had a special identity, and his hiding place must be very secretive, and he would definitely use a pseudonym.

Zhang Xuan whispered to Pei Xingyan: "Our problem now is that we are short of manpower, especially there are too few people who are familiar with Luoyang, I want your brother to help." ”

"Is Xingjian in Luoyang?" Pei Xingyan asked in surprise.

"In! I also saw him last night, in your Pei Mansion, he has a lot of people, please ask him to help find someone, and find Pei Xin again, to see if he can find Li Zitong's residence through official channels. ”

Pei Xingyan nodded, "I understand the lowly position, so I will go to my brother, if there is any news, the lowly position will tell the general at night." ”

"Be careful and don't do it on your own!"

"Yes!"

Pei Xing saluted, turned his horse's head and ran towards Pei's mansion, and Zhang Xuan immediately took Wei Chigong to run towards Yanwang's mansion.

In front of the steps of King Yan's Mansion, Wei Chigong whispered to Zhang Xuan: "General, I'm afraid it's useless to find officials, how can they know where Li Zitong's bandits are hiding?" ”

"Try as many as you can! They are not official, they are the head snakes of Luoyang, and the news is quite wide. ”

In fact, Zhang Xuan doesn't have many methods, so he can only use the method of planting widely and harvesting thinly, try to find as many friends as possible, find more relationships, and inquire about Li Zitong's residence from all levels.

After a while, Han Xin walked out of the palace quickly, arched his hand and said with a smile: "The brothers are all talking about whether the elder brother will come to Luoyang to participate in the Heroes Meeting, it seems that I am not wrong, and I really came." ”

Zhang Xuan also smiled: "Brother Han's demeanor is still the same, it seems that he has been promoted again, how are the brothers?" ”

"What kind of official! It's just a mess of eating, everyone is good, Lao Xin and Nian Er have gone to the local office, which is enviable, but the best mix in our group of brothers is Brother Zhang. I heard that I am going to be promoted to Tiger Benlang, so I have to treat you! ”

"When you are promoted, you must have a treat, come! Introduce me to Brother Han, this is also my brother. Wei Chigong is a fierce general of our Flying Eagle Army. ”

Zhang Xuan said to Wei Chigong again: "This is my former brother, General Han's nephew, called Han Xin. ”

Yu Chigong bowed to Han Xin, and Han Xin had already seen Yu Chigong's majestic figure. It really made him envious, he hurriedly smiled and saluted, and exchanged a few words.

At this time, Zhang Xuan pulled Han Xin aside and whispered, "I have something I want to trouble Brother Han!" ”

Han Xin patted his chest, "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help." ”

"That's right, someone stole my brother's war horse, and this person is Li Zitong, the bandit leader of the East China Sea, and I want to find this person. Don't know where to look? ”

Han Xin was very surprised, Li Zitong actually dared to come to Luoyang, this courage was too big, he thought for a while and said, "That's it!" I asked my brothers to find a way to inquire, and if there is news, I will inform my brother, where do you live? ”

Zhang Xuan gave him an address and said with a smile: "Please, Brother Han!" ”

"I'll arrange it, is there anything else my brother has to do?"

Zhang Xuan had another matter to look for him, and asked with a smile: "Is Chai Shao back?" ”

Han Xin was not interested in Chai Shao, and said lightly: "He is no longer a guard in King Yan." He said that he was going home to take care of his grandfather, so he resigned two months ago, and we don't know his whereabouts, if my brother wants to look for him. You can go to his father-in-law's house and ask. ”

"I understand, thank you Brother Han!"

"I'll arrange to find someone, and I'll notify my brother in time if there is news."

Han Xin saluted Wei Chigong again with a fist and hurriedly entered the house.

Zhang Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly at Wei Chigong: "It seems that you are right, there is not much hope here." ”

"Why does the general feel this way?"

"Don't you think there's something hidden beneath his passion?"

Wei Chigong thought for a while, "He should invite the general into the mansion." Reminiscing about the old and the like. ”

"You can also see that he is actually perfunctory to me, there is enthusiasm, but there is no sincerity."

"That's why, the general is also mixing well, he should make good friends with the general, I don't understand it."

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, some things were hard to say, but he understood in his heart that Han Xin was a mirror, reflecting King Yan's attitude towards himself, Yang Qi had already experienced his indifference Zhang Xuan, since the Battle of Goguryeo, he had hardly seen Yang Qi, which was actually Yang Qi's deliberate avoidance of himself.

Pei Ju didn't lie to him, he warned himself that there was a certain reason for being careful of King Yan, and King Yan must have said something to him.

In fact, the reason why Yang Qi was indifferent to himself Zhang Xuan also considered it, the biggest possibility should be that Yang Qi has gradually matured, and he began to resist and even disgust himself for instilling some ideas in him at the beginning.

For example, the idea of compromise and the gradual weakening of the power of the family and the Guanlong nobles in a gentle and long-term way, rather than Yang Guang's radical approach, it seems that Yang Qi is becoming more and more influenced by his grandfather, and it is normal for him to be disgusted and resistant.

"General, will we go to the Li Mansion now?"

Wei Chigong's question interrupted Zhang Xuan's train of thought, and he smiled and said, "Let's go find someone from the Wagang Department and try it!" They may have a connection with Li Zitong. ”

Zhang Xuan temporarily put aside his thoughts about Yang Qi and urged the horse to run towards Xiuwenfang, he knew that there was still a place to find Chai Shao

Sure enough, as Zhang Xuan expected, he found Chai Shao in Wuchuan Mansion, although Chai Shao had resigned as the guard of King Yan, but he might not resign from the post of doctor in Wuchuan Mansion, Zhang Xuan and Wei Chigong only waited outside the gate for a while, and Chai Shao walked out quickly.

"Brother Xian, we met again so soon!"

Chai Shao walked up with a smile, smiling reluctantly, after all, it was not normal for Zhang Xuan to find something in Wuchuan Mansion, and he opened his bottom.

"Is there anything that Brother Xian is looking for me?"

Zhang Xuan pointed to a small wine shop in the distance and said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk, I invite Brother Si Chang to drink a glass of water and wine." ”

Chai Shao nodded, followed Zhang Xuan to the small wine shop, the two sat down in the back room, and Wei Chigong sat at the door, asked for a pot of wine, a plate of mutton, and watched the surrounding movements vigilantly while drinking.

In the room, Zhang Xuan made his own request to Chai Shao, and he wanted to find Li Zitong through the relationship of the Wagang Army.

Chai Shao was really a little embarrassed, he definitely didn't want Zhang Xuan and Wagangjun to have too deep a relationship, which would expose Li Jiancheng's true identity, so when they met Zhang Xuan in the restaurant on the road, Chai Shao asked Xu Shiji and Cheng Yanjin to call back, and they were not allowed to communicate with Zhang Xuan too much.

After pondering for a moment, Chai Shao smiled and said: "It's just a horse, don't bother so much, I also have a good horse over there, I'll give it to my virtuous brother!" ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "It's not a matter of horses, even if Li Zitong doesn't know me, he should know Qin Qiong or Luo Shixin, knowing that we are the Flying Eagle Army, and stealing the horses, this is a provocation, the other side is provocative, I have always resolutely fought back, and I will never compromise." ”

Chai Shao sighed, "But we don't know where Li Zitong lives!" ”

"Brother Sichang may not know, but Xu Shiji or Shan Xiongxin, they should know, or they have a way to know."

Chai Shao's face changed, "This is not appropriate!" ”

Zhang Xuan's face suddenly sank, "Since that's the case, I'll go to Yuan Min for help, and by the way, talk to him about this story of Li Mifei Li Mi, and say goodbye!" ”

Zhang Xuan got up and left, Chai Shao was in a hurry and hurriedly stopped him, "Okay! All right! I'll just say yes. ”

Zhang Xuan sat down again, smiled faintly, and waited for Chai Shao to further express himself, Chai Shao hated a lot in his heart, but he had no choice but to say coldly: "Guiyi Fang Fulai Inn, you can find them." ”

After speaking, Chai Shao got up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first!" ”

He turned around and walked outside the house, but after walking a few steps, Zhang Xuan said unhurriedly: "I would like to see the day when Li Gong raised troops in Taiyuan, so I have been hiding that secret for Li Gong, I will not reveal it until I am forced to do so, please rest assured, but I have to say ugly things in front, it is best not to have any thoughts of extinguishing my mouth, otherwise it will be a disaster for the entire Li family, and there will be no second Li Hun." ”

Chai Shao shuddered, he looked back at Zhang Xuan in disbelief, turned around and hurried away.

Zhang Xuan watched him walk away, and couldn't help but sigh softly, to this day, he and Chai Shao's faces have been torn off.

He walked out of the room, Yu Chigong stood aside and calmly waited for his decision, Zhang Xuan looked at the sky, and smiled at Yu Chigong: "It's a little late today, let's talk about it tomorrow!" (To be continued.) )
