Chapter 320 Solicitation
Zhang Daoquan is an orphan, by chance, he learned some martial arts from others, and later wandered in the green forest.
Zhang Daoquan is very talented. Although he doesn't have a famous teacher to guide him, he honed his martial arts very well in the green forest.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and many people in the green forest married into volunteers everywhere in order to gain a future.
Zhang Daoquan was no exception, and joined Wang Shichong's uprising army.
Relying on force, Zhang Daoquan also made a lot of contributions. Later, after Shan Xiongxin took refuge in Wang Shichong, he served as a lieutenant under Wang Shichong.
After Wang Shichong's defeat, Zhang Daoquan escaped. Later, fearing that the Tang Dynasty would pursue him, Zhang Daoquan hid here with his apprentices, his wife and children.
What Zhang Daoquan couldn't figure out was how did Lin Xuan know that he was here?
He thought he hid it well, otherwise no one would have found it for so many years.
In fact, Zhang Daoquan had been found long ago.
After the Tang Dynasty unified the world, it took a lot of effort to investigate the remaining forces that had competed for the world before.
Those immediate family members were found and all were dealt with secretly. People like Zhang Daoquan watched them for a period of time, seeing that they were honest, and did not touch them.
It's not that Li Yuan is so kind. During the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, so many forces were annexed, and many people from other forces were surrendered. If the liquidation is too harsh, it may cause panic.
After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, there were too many messy things, and they were all honest, and they had no plans to do anything to them.
Although these things are not considered secrets, it is impossible for Zhang Daoquan who is living in seclusion to know. He thought he was hiding very secretively.
Zhang Daoquan is very hesitant now, he is used to the life here, but his son is young and is very eager to go outside.
Besides, Zhang You is getting older, not to mention anything else, he has been here all the time, finding a wife is always a problem.
"Master!" Zhang Dayong's voice sounded outside.
Zhang Daoquan came back to his senses and said, "Come in!"
Zhang Dayong walked in and said, "Master, it's settled down."
Zhang Daoquan nodded and asked, "Where's Youer?"
"Junior brother is chatting with that Lin Ping, master knows, junior brother has always been very curious about the outside world." Zhang Dayong said.
"Yeah, he's always wanted to go out." Zhang Daoquan murmured.
It has been 12 years since Zhang You came here with him when he was four years old.
As he got older, Zhang You became more and more eager for the outside world.
"Dayong, you already know the purpose of this person. What do you think should be done?" Zhang Daoquan asked.
At that time, the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. Zhang Dayong's parents died when he was 14 years old.
In order to survive, Zhang Dayong had to join the army.
Zhang Dayong was lucky and met Zhang Daoquan.
Zhang Daoquan felt that Zhang Dayong's life experience was similar to his, so he accepted him as an apprentice.
Having lived together for more than ten years, Zhang Daoquan has long regarded him as his son.
Zhang Dayong was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I will listen to the master."
Zhang Daoquan said: "You go hunt some prey and treat him well at night, the old man will think about it again."
Although Zhang Dayong said this, Zhang Daoquan still saw the longing in his eyes.
After all, he is a young man, unlike him who has experienced so much in the outside life, he has long looked down on many things.
Zhang Daoquan was already moved, but he was still a little hesitant. He was not sure whether Lin Xuan's identity could cover up their past.
In the evening, Zhang Dayong roasted the rabbits and pheasants that had been hunted down, and invited Lin Ping over under Zhang Daoquan's gesture.
"I met Mr. Zhang!" Lin Ping bowed his hands.
Zhang Daoquan waved his hands and said, "Old man, people from the mountains and fields don't care too much, just sit down."
Lin Ping nodded and sat down.
"Brother Lin, the autumn rabbits and pheasants are fat and delicious, you should try it!" Zhang You said with a smile.
Lin Ping was not a few years older than Zhang You, but his knowledge was not comparable to that of Zhang You.
In one afternoon, Zhang You was conquered by Lin Ping.
Zhang Daoquan shook his head, it was a good thing for them, but it was nothing for people like Lin Ping in the lord's mansion.
He knew that the servants of the lord's mansion had better food than some rich families.
"This is the wine brewed by the old man himself. It tastes good. Try it." Zhang Daoquan said.
Zhang Daoquan is somewhat complacent about the wine he brews.
He used to follow behind Shan Xiongxin and drank a lot of good wine, and he was confident that the wine he brewed was no worse than those good wines.
Lin Ping unceremoniously picked up the wine and took a sip without any expression on his face, appearing calm.
He has drank a lot of Immortal Drunk. Although this wine is good, it is still much worse than Immortal Drunk.
Zhang Daoquan just lamented that Lin Ping deserved to be from the Hou family, he had seen the world.
"I don't know what the title of Lord Lin Xiaoyou said is?" Zhang Daoquan asked.
Lin Ping said with some pride: "My family's master is titled the Marquis of Jingyang County."
Marquis of Jingyang County?
Zhang Daoquan frowned slightly, he was sure it wasn't granted when the Tang Dynasty was founded.
"I don't know why Jingyang County was granted the title of Marquis later?" Zhang Daoquan asked.
If this so-called Marquis of Jingyang County was granted the title of Marquis just because of good luck on the battlefield, he would not consider it at all.
Soliciting sounds nice, but it is actually looking for him to be a retainer.
Zhang Daoquan asked himself if he had some ability, so if he wanted to rely on him, he had to rely on a capable person.
With pride, Lin Ping narrated the process of Lin Xuan's canonization.
A son of a merchant, became a marquis, and was also a princess. Lin Xuan can be said to be the pride of the entire Lin family.
"You said that Hou of Jingyang County is only 15 years old?" Zhang Daoquan looked at Lin Ping in surprise.
Is the 15-year-old Marquis strange?
It's not unusual at all, but there is a premise that it's a bit unusual for someone who has made a marquis by himself.
It is rare for Huo Qubing to become a marquis at the age of 17.
As for the Marquis of Jingyang County, he is only 15 years old this year. According to Lin Ping, he was only 14 years old when he was knighted.
Compared with the title of title, Zhang Daoquan feels more secure with the status of future son-in-law.
If you rely on such a person, then no one should pursue their past.
"The old man is willing to go to Chang'an to meet the Marquis of Jingyang County!" Zhang Daoquan has already decided to agree.
Lin Ping was overjoyed, and asked in disbelief, "Mr. Zhang is serious?"
Zhang Daoquan nodded and said, "Really!"
"Father, that's great!" Zhang You almost jumped up happily.
That's Chang'an!
For Zhang You, let alone Chang'an, he has never been to any small county town.
Although Zhang Dayong was happy, he was not as excited as Zhang You.
After all, he only entered the mountain when he was a teenager, and occasionally went out to buy supplies, so he was no stranger to the outside world.
"I wonder why Mr. Zhang can leave?" Lin Ping asked.
Zhang Daoquan said: "The old men don't have any long-term belongings, and they can leave at any time. Manager Lin just decides."
Now that he already knew that Lin Ping was the manager of Linxuan Courtyard, he naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with him.
Lin Ping said: "I'm sorry, but I still have to invite other people. I have some money. Mr. Zhang can take his family to Chang'an to meet my Lord Hou."
Zhang Daoquan asked: "I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to tell the old man, who else needs to be invited?"
Lin Ping hesitated, he was not sure whether to tell Zhang Daoquan.
Seeing Lin Ping's hesitation, Zhang Daoquan said, "Director Lin, don't think too much. I know some people in the green forest. If I know someone, I can help."
To be honest, if he hadn't considered his apprentice and son, he would never have listened to what Lin Ping said.
Presumably, it won't be very effective if he recruits other people.
Now that he has taken refuge in Lin Xuan, if he can help win over more people, his status will be greatly improved.
Lin Ping's eyes lit up. With Zhang Daoquan's help, the trip would be much easier.
Lin Ping quickly took out the letters hidden close to his body.
"Mr. Zhang, take a look." Lin Ping said.
There were names on the letter, Lin Ping was not worried that Zhang Daoquan knew what was inside.
Zhang Daoquan took it and read it one by one.
"I know four of them, and the others have only heard their names, but never met them," Zhang Daoquan said.
Lin Ping was overjoyed and asked, "Then please trouble Mr. Zhang to run with me."
"It should be!" Zhang Daoquan said with a smile.
