Chapter Ninety-Six: The Guest Leaves

Although he persuaded Zhao Anyi, a stone in Xu Xinsheng's heart fell to the ground. However, in his opinion, it is still necessary to inform his brother and Zhang Weixin, Zeng Zhilin, and others about Zhao Anyi's inference that the brothers of the Beiping Army have the intention of fighting the world only through the poems of that great man, so that the other party can pay attention to other "guests" from the south in the future - after all, it is impossible for him to be on the list of visitors every time, and it is impossible to convince his companions every time as he did this time. So, after sending Zhao Anyi back to his room on the grounds that he was still drunk and needed to rest earlier, Xu Xinsheng hurried to his brother Jia Run'an's residence, told the conversation between Fang Cai and Zhao Anyi, and accompanied by his brother, they found Zhang Weixin together and informed the other party of the whole process of this matter.

After listening to Xu Xinsheng's introduction, Zhang Weixin praised the other party's calm, improvised, and quick thinking performance, and on the other hand, he was annoyed that he had patronized and expressed his feelings before, and casually chanted the great man's poem, but he didn't realize the meaning of this poem. At the same time, he also secretly warned himself in his heart that he needed to be more cautious and cautious in his actions and words in the future, and not to act too casually.

In fact, to put it mildly, Zhang Weixin is not a big grinning master who speaks without brains. On the contrary, he has always paid more attention to his words and behaviors in his way of dealing with people, working and living. Today's situation is because of the touching of the scene, looking at the dangerous Xiongguan and the scenery of the northern country, I feel that my heart is happy and my mind has become broader, so I casually chanted the poem of the great man who is more suitable for the situation. On the other hand, in previous lives, this poem was well known to most Chinese as the content of middle school textbooks. When everyone talks about this poem, they pay attention to the author's style, mind, and courage, and understand this poem according to the way of thinking of modern people. Therefore, in Zhang Weixin's mind, he only spoke highly of the poem itself and analyzed its content from the perspective of modern people, and he did not realize at all that in this era of divine authority and absolute monarchy, the belittlement of emperors, especially the belittlement of several emperors who were famous and accomplished in history, was a matter that could easily attract the attention of others and arouse the associations of others—even if the emperors of the previous dynasty appeared in this poem. What's more, in order to repay the "iron buddy" Wang Kunjun and other brothers for "framing" himself, Zhang Weixin put the author of the poem "When Will There Be a Bright Moon" on his head, so that his "big name" gradually became the enemy of the most outstanding "lyricist" admired by the most popular singers and guests in the high-end Goolan tile shops in the north and south of the river, and also used a very positive tone to put the author of this great man's poem on Wang Kunjun's body, which is no wonder Zhao Anyi has many associations.

Fortunately, no matter what, this emergency was finally successfully resolved with the efforts of Xu Xinsheng. Therefore, after learning about the incident from Zhang Weixin, Wang Kunjun and other committee members did not pursue this matter too much except for despising Zhang Weixin's "bad deeds" of "retribution" and punishing this guy with three glasses of wine at a banquet attended by only his own brothers. After all, in the eyes of Wang Kunjun and others, on the one hand, this great man's poem can indeed reflect the true idea that the brothers of the crossing team plan to establish a great achievement, and Zhao Anyi's understanding and association are actually reasonable. On the other hand, although the brothers do not want to show their true intentions in front of their opponents without reservation before they are fully prepared on their side, so as not to add unnecessary obstacles and troubles to the realization of their ideals. But as a party with strong strength enough to compete with all the shili in the world, the brothers of the crossing team are not afraid to have a head-on confrontation with their opponents now. Because, while it may take longer, cause more damage, and kill more people, it won't change the outcome of the matter.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the lunar calendar of the eighth year of Xiande, Zhang Weixin and his entourage, who had been bumpy on the road for almost two days, finally returned to Beiping City. From the uninvited visit on the fourth day of the first lunar month to the present, Xu Xinsheng and Zhao Anyi, who were unexpected guests, have also been in the Beiping Army for a full twenty days. Now, everyone who should have seen has been seen, all the places that should be seen, the news and answers that should have been obtained, and the things that should not be said have been said, and it has been a month and a half since leaving Kaifeng, and it is time for Xu and Zhao to leave Kaifeng for a month and a half, and even the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year have been on the road.

However, considering that after walking more than 100 miles of mountain roads, everyone was a little tired. Especially Zhao Anyi, who is a literati, is even more tired. Therefore, after returning from Juyongguan, Wang Kunjun suggested that Xu Xinsheng and Zhao Anyi rest in Jiedu Mansion for two days to relieve their tired bodies from running around for days, and then return to Beijing on the road. Regarding the host's careful arrangement, Xu and Zhao naturally had no objections.

During the two days of rest, Liang Ziyue, who had been instructed by the committee, had a secret conversation with Xu Xinsheng, accompanied by Jia Run'an. In this secret conversation, Liang Ziyue explained to Xu Xinsheng in detail how he kept in touch with the Beiping City after returning to Kaifeng, how he passed on various important news, how he warned in the event of a crisis, how he evacuated, how he obtained the help and response of the Beiping Army in Kaifeng City, and other various situations related to his tasks.

On the morning of the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month of the eighth year of Xiande, after drinking a meal of candied wine with the monarchs of the Beiping Army the night before, Xu Xinsheng and Zhao Anyi said goodbye to Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin and Xu Shao'an, who had been sending them to the gate of the mansion, and left the Beiping Military Jiedu Mansion accompanied by Jia Run'an, and walked slowly to the Kaiyang Gate in the south.

Although they parted ways because of ambitions, as brothers who had lived and died together and shared hardships, the brotherhood between Jia Runan and Xu Xinsheng has not faded because of the differences and years of separation. Therefore, after leaving Jiedu Mansion, the two brothers took the same car.

Out of Kaiyangmen, the convoy went all the way south. But Jia Run'an, who was supposed to return to Jiedu Mansion at this time, had no intention of getting out of the car and returning, and Xu Xinsheng had no intention of urging his brother to go back, so the two of them chatted from the gate of Jiedu Mansion to Shili Pavilion in the south of the city, and still felt that there were still many things that had not been finished and that there were still many old things that had not been talked about. It's just that the so-called "thousands of miles to build a pergola, there is no feast that will not be dispersed". No matter how deep the relationship between the two brothers is, it is impossible for Jia Runan to send Xu Xinsheng back to Kaifeng all the way. Therefore, when the handlebar type who had been instructed in advance parked the car outside the Shili Pavilion, although Xu Xinsheng was reluctant, he finally had to persuade his brother to stay and not send it again. And although Jia Runan wanted to open his mouth and let his brother simply stay, there was a resolution of the committee's arrangement for Xu Xinsheng, and he could not violate the committee's resolution for his own selfishness. Second, if Xu Xinsheng is forced to stay now, it will inevitably cause Zhao Anyi's doubts and obstacles, which will cause many unnecessary troubles, and even adversely affect the realization of the established Jihua by the crossing team. Therefore, the words of retention did not come out of Jia Run'an's mouth in the end. After cherishing each other, the two brothers said goodbye in tears.
