This person is Zhang Wentai, the two have not seen each other for nearly three years, when they arrived, Zhang Wentai hugged Li Shi and sighed: "I want to hurt my brother!" Li Shi felt sour in his heart, if he wasn't on the street, he was afraid that he would have shed tears. After a while, the crowd came to the front, and Zhang Shishi said: "Wentai, is this your friend?" Zhang Wentai bowed and said: "Yes, my lord, this is Li Shi, his neighbor, and his father is Li Wenshan." Zhang Tingshi was stunned for a moment and said: "It turned out to be Dr. Li's orphan, Wentai, take the little brother to the house to rest for a while, you don't have to accompany me." Saying that, he smiled at Li Shi and walked forward again.

Zhang Wentai didn't take Li Shi to Zhang's mansion, he directly found a tavern, asked for a few good dishes, and asked: "Xiao Shi, didn't you go to Hengshan with Miss Yang? Why did you come to Guzhou again!" Li Shi sighed: "It's a long story! Why did you go to Guzhou and still work as an errand in the government?" Zhang Wentai smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass and said: "When we meet today, let's have three glasses first, and then talk about it after drinking!" Li Shi nodded in agreement, and the two of them spit out the latest situation to each other while drinking.

It was originally from after Li Shi left Jieshi Town, the government suddenly recruited soldiers on a large scale, Zhang Wentai's father had already died on the battlefield, Gu Daihui did not want his son to follow the old road again, and the people rumored that this time it was not ordered by the imperial court, but that the envoys of each section conscripted troops privately in order to strengthen their own forces! Gu Daihui thought about it again and again, and asked Zhang Wentai to bring some silver and go outside to hide for the time being. Zhang Wentai went all the way to the south, but he didn't know that the whole of Liaodong was conscripting, and he didn't see the conscription notice until he went down to Hebei! After walking such a long way, he ran out of entanglements! When he arrived at Qinghe that day, Zhang Wentai was really hungry, and he was ruthlessly eating a bully meal in a tavern, and when he was checking out, he was about to run, but he didn't want to meet an acquaintance. As the so-called endless road, Zhou Fang has two sons, the second is Zhou Qinglan's father, who died early in middle age, the eldest is named Zhou Weixiong, who is on an errand in Qinghe County, and Zhou Fang came to Hebei to seek refuge with his eldest son. Zhou Weixiong is not confused when he is young, he is loyal and filial, he has never been allowed to work since his father came, and even his niece Zhou Qinglan is also cared for!

Zhang Wentai was also kind to Zhou Fang back then, and it was rare for him to help him this time, which was really fate. Zhou Fang brought Zhang Wentai to live at home, but Zhou Weixiong's family was not big, and there was no extra room after the father and niece came, so Zhou Fang arranged for Zhang Wentai to live with him, but after all, it was inconvenient, and he wanted to leave after a few days. One day, Zhang Wentai was in a daze in the house, thinking about where to go, Zhou Fang pushed the door in, and Zhang Wentai dispelled this idea, it turned out that Zhang Weixiong had an errand for him in the government office, and he was an attendant to the county order of Qinghe, and he could eat and live in the yamen in the future. Zhang Wentai now has a home that is difficult to return, and he has a job, so he stayed, and this work is more than a year. Zhang Wentai is strong, loyal and honest, and in his spare time, Zhou Fang passed on the kung fu on his body to him, and won the trust of the county order for a long time. In March this year, the Qinghe County Commander was promoted to Guzhou to make a history of assassination, and Zhou Weixiong and Zhang Wentai also followed together, I didn't want to meet here today!

The two talked about the past for a while, and Zhang Wentai said: "Now there is nowhere to go, it is better to come with me to the mansion to live for a while!" Li Shi shook his head: "No, now I want to go back to the Du Mansion of Ye County and report the matter of the young lady to the master." Zhang Wentai said: "Okay, anyway, you won't go to Hengshan to learn art, just come to Guzhou to find my brother if you have nothing to do." Li Shi slapped the table: "Of course, since I left Shicheng, I miss my brother and master very much, and when I see each other today, I will definitely get drunk and rest!" The brothers were in a good mood, drinking from morning to noon, talking about their parents for a while, with tears in their eyes, and talking about An Qingxu and angry. Perhaps due to their mood, the two drank four catties of liquor, but they didn't get drunk. It was nearly noon, Li Shi wanted to rush to Ye County, hugged his fists and resigned, Zhang Wentai was useless to keep several times, so he was sent to the outside of Guzhou City, and then he said goodbye!

Li Shi stayed overnight, on the fifth day he arrived at Ye County, standing in front of Du Mansion, as if returning home, although he only lived here for a year, but it was the first place to stay after leaving home, there were friends Yuan Guotian, Shi Taiping, Zhang Qianduo, there was a sympathetic lady Du Tingfang, and there was a knowledgeable and kind old man Du Shuming. Li Shi had no time to sigh, stepped forward and knocked on the door, it was Steward Liu who opened the door, and he was also stunned when he saw Li Shi, and then looked out twice and asked, "Where's Miss?" Li Shi didn't know how to answer, Steward Liu said: "Come in first!" turned back and shouted inward: "Master, Li Shi is back!" Shi Taiping was the first to rush out, walked to the front and shouted: "Li Shi, are you back!Where's Miss?" Steward Liu stretched out his hand and pulled Shi Taiping aside: "Go and pack your things, it's time to leave soon!" Li Shi asked: " Where are you going?" Steward Liu said: "The master is going back to Beijing to serve, so let's set off today, let's go in first!"

As he was talking, Yuan Guotian walked out of the living room and said, "Uncle Liu, the master asked Li Shi to go to the study to talk alone!" Du Shuming said: "Sit down!" Li Shi was stunned: "The villain didn't bring the young lady back, I'm ashamed of the master, I don't dare to sit!" Du Shuming finally looked anxious, but his tone was the same as usual: "Where is Tingfang now?" Li Shi lowered his head and said: "Baiyun Peak!" Du Shuming let out a long sigh when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Tingfang left a letter when she left, I originally thought that Baiyun Peak was heavily guarded, the mountain was high and the road was far away, you and Tingfang would return in a difficult way, who knew that they would not return for a year." When Zhuo Bufan made trouble in the Tang Mansion, everyone in the capital knew it, and Tingfang entered the devil's path from then on, and it was difficult to extricate herself. This child is usually gentle and elegant, but he is very stubborn in his bones, hey!" Li Shi lowered his head and said: "It's all my fault, if I stopped Miss at the beginning, I told her in time, maybe she wouldn't go!" Du Shuming shook his head: "No, if you don't go, she will go by herself, isn't it more dangerous!" Fortunately, she is safe and sound now." I Du Shuming only has this one daughter, I have been spoiled since I was a child, everything has its own providence, let her go. The emperor decreed that I should return to Beijing, and I dare not slack off as a courtier, so I will set off today, you go out and clean up with them, and go back to Beijing with me!"

Li Shi said "oh" and went out of the study, the people in the Du Mansion were cleaning up, Li Shi went back to his house and sorted out his clothes and books. Except for the two maids who served Du Tingfang and Zhang Qianduo who stayed in Ye County, everyone else went to Beijing together! Li Shi, the housekeeper and Shi Zhang drove a carriage loaded with luggage; Du Shuming sat in another carriage, and Yuan Guotian and a mighty-looking man in brocade clothes rushed along, Li Shi had never seen this person, and asked: "Taiping, who is that person in the classic car?" Shi Taiping held his mouth and said: "This person is very powerful, it is said that he is the head of the forbidden army in the capital, named Shen Aotian, he is the number one master in the capital, and he is proficient in all kinds of weapons. Look at the pair of green dragons on his back, given by the emperor, he is very majestic! The prince specially sent us to escort us into Beijing, you say that our lord's face is not big!" Li Shi secretly thought: "The lord used to be the head of the household department, and returning to Beijing to serve is also a major event in the court, but sending this No. 1 master to escort him is a bit of a fuss, and the prince's move must have a deep meaning." After thinking about it, he said: "Taiping, take care of our luggage along the way, and if there is anything, we will drive the carriage and run quickly!" Shi Taiping looked disdainful: "With the head of the sect of Shen, what can happen, what kind of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods don't run away from the wind!" Li Shi nodded: "I hope so!"

Du Fu has a group of two carriages, a total of six people, and there are many small routes, so they are cautious. This day to the foot of a big mountain, from Chang'an only two hundred miles away, the mountain here is steep, although at the foot of the mountain, look up, the peaks and forests are steep, smoky, like a fairyland, even Du Shuming also came out of the carriage to enjoy the scenery. Li Shi praised and turned around: "Uncle Liu, the landscape here is picturesque, magnificent and magnificent, can there be a name?" Steward Liu smiled: "This place is not only famous, but also famous all over the world, this is the boundary of Taizhou, and this mountain is Huashan." Li Shi sighed: "It turns out that this is Huashan, the kid is shallow, Uncle Liu is laughing!"

As he was talking, there were people fighting on the road, and everyone suddenly tensed. When I got closer, I saw two young men in Tsing Yi practicing swords, although the sword moves were fast, but they were all up to the point, and the two of them ignored Li Shi and his party, and one of them also said: "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, your internal strength has grown a lot, it seems that my senior brother has been slacking off these days!" Another said: "In the past few days, the master has been in retreat, and no one has taught him the sword, so his energy is focused on meditation and practice!" The two of them spoke, and the two swords did not slow down in the slightest, you come and go, and the people who watch are dazzled! Although Li Shi has never practiced swords, but after practicing the Twelve Palms of the Heavenly Vein and the Fog Xu Bu, the advance and retreat tend to avoid the same, and the martial arts in the world are all for defeating the enemy, and he immediately watched it with relish! But at the foot of Huashan Mountain, the two of them suddenly practiced swords, and they were still a little uneasy in their hearts, and said: "Uncle Liu, let's go, it's important to hurry!" Steward Liu nodded and greeted Du Shuming, and Shen Aotian said on the side: "Let's go, there's nothing to see!" As he spoke, he shook his horse's buttocks, and as soon as the wheels sounded, the two young men jumped to the carriage together, and one of them said, "Listen to Your Excellency, it seems that you look down on the swordsmanship of the two of us." Shen Aotian hugged his fists and said: "Huashan swordsmanship is famous all over the world, and when I see it today, it is worthy of my real name, but I am in a hurry, if there is an offense between words, I hope Haihan!"
