Chapter 171 Keep your distance
"Sir, don't worry, even if I rob, I will rob the things back. Taiping is so nonsense this time!" Li Dan nodded to Zhang Zong with a serious expression, and after that, he rushed to the palace in a carriage.
"Brother Shi, why don't we go to find my mother or cousin?" Xue Shao still stepped forward with some concern at this time. After all, Taiping took away the manuscript. If Li Dan failed to retrieve it before alarming Wu Meiniang, then the matter would be bad.
"No, it's best not to disturb too many people this time. After all, there are too many people and talkative things. If it leaks and disappears in the middle, it will only be even more dangerous!" Zhang Zong frowned at this time. This time, the matter was just a peaceful and nonsense. Now, except for them, no outsiders know that as long as Li Dan retrieves the manuscript safely, it will be fine.
"Guangshun, don't tell anyone about this matter, don't even tell your father!" Zhang Zong suddenly looked at Li Guangshun next to him and reminded him that although Li Xian had a good attitude towards him, Zhang Zong did not dare to guarantee that Li Xian would definitely stand on his side. Moreover, there might be Wu Meiniang's people around Li Xian, so it's better to be careful.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely keep my mouth shut!" Li Guangshun nodded solemnly and agreed. As Zhang Zong's student, he would certainly not refuse this little busy.
"Young master, it's all my fault. If I could stop the princess, I wouldn't... I wouldn't..." Wan'er also walked over with a grievance at this time. Before she finished speaking, tears fell down. She was very guilty now. If she could stop Taiping, there would be nothing that happened today.
"How can you blame you? With a peaceful temperament, you can't stop her even if you want to stop her, so don't blame yourself. It will be fine if the Xiangwang takes back the manuscript later." Zhang Zong comforted.
This matter is indeed impossible for Wan'er. Taiping is her old master. Wan'er is quite awe of Taiping, so she dare not disobey her at all, let alone forcibly block it. And no one expected that Taiping would take away the manuscript. If she really wanted to talk about it, it would be a big mistake for Zhang Zong to put the manuscript in a conspicuous position on the bookshelf.
However, even when he heard Zhang Zong's comfort, Wan'er was still very guilty. Zhang Zong wiped her tears with heartache, and then Wan'er followed Zhang Zong's side in an endless stream, as if she wanted to use actions to show that no matter what happened, she would live and die with Zhang Zong.
Zhang Zong was completely calm at this time. Anyway, things had already happened, and it was useless no matter how anxious he was. Moreover, it was getting late now, so Zhang Zong asked Xue Shao and Li Guangshun to go back first. Li Dan had already entered the palace, but at his speed, the palace gate was probably almost closed when he arrived at the palace, so he would definitely not be able to come back today, and he would have to wait until tomorrow before there was news.
Li Guangshun was an obedient child, so he quickly went home after hearing Zhang Zong's instructions, but Xue Shao refused to leave no matter what, and insisted on staying at Zhang Zong's place. Zhang Zong had no choice but to let Wan'er clean up the customer.
During dinner, the atmosphere was a bit heavy. Xue Shao originally wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but only Zhang Zong supported him. Wan'er still looked worried, which made Zhang Zong sigh.
Waiting was very painful. After dinner, Zhang Zong also asked Wan'er and Xue Shao to go back to their rooms early to rest. He went to his bedroom himself, but his irritability made him unable to sit down. Finally, he habitually wanted to read the book, but found that the upper layer of the bookshelf was empty, and all the manuscripts he liked to read were taken away by Taiping.
Looking at the empty bookshelf, Zhang Zong sighed helplessly. He regretted it now. He had known that he would not have left Taiping at his home, or he could have placed the manuscript in a place that was difficult to find, so there would be no future happening.
But it's too late to regret it now. Strictly speaking, he can't blame him for this matter. He blames this girl Taiping for not playing according to common sense and taking away the manuscript without any attention. I really don't know what she was thinking about in her mind?
Thinking of Taiping, Zhang Zong's anger surged up again. In the past, he just felt that the other party was very domineering, so he was unwilling to pay attention to the other party. But later, something happened to Wan'er. Although the cause was also on her, she was able to help Princess Chengyang entangle Wu Meiniang, which was considered to be a save Wan'er. Therefore, Zhang Zong's impression of her also changed, otherwise he would not have agreed to give her perfume later.
But I didn't expect that the other party would do this again this time. Perhaps for her, she just took away the manuscript on a whim. She never thought how much harm it might cause to others if these manuscripts were discovered by Hu Meiniang. After all, she was a princess. Even if Wu Meiniang discovered it, she would be scolded, but Zhang Zong and others might fall to the ground.
In other words, Taiping is actually an extremely self-centered person who does not think about things from the perspective of others, so she can’t say that she is good at doing things, she just depends on her own mood.
If she was just an ordinary woman, it would be nothing. At most, her parents would have a headache for her. However, Taiping was the most beloved princess of the Tang Dynasty. Every word and action would affect the fate of countless people, but she herself did not have any awareness of this. If she did not change this, more people might be unlucky because of her in the future.
"You can't do this anymore. You must keep a distance from her no matter what!" Zhang Zong suddenly slapped the table and said to himself, Taiping is a bomb that is not fixed. God knows when it will blow him up, and the only way is to keep a distance from her.
However, as soon as Zhang Zong said, he suddenly thought of the ugly young man. The other party had warned him that he would never go to peace, because the other party could kill him at any time, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Now it seems that the other party has a unique vision and had expected this to happen.
"Ugly Young Master, he hasn't appeared for a long time. Besides... who is he?" Zhang Zong whispered again. The ugly young master never appeared again after buying alcohol from him for the last time. However, he had heard of the ugly young master's name from the scholar Zhou of Feinusi. The other party can be targeted by Feinusi's people, which is obviously not a simple character!
"Is it... he is also one of those who secretly oppose the Tang Dynasty?" Zhang Zong whispered again at this time. From the ugly young master's words, he could feel right. He was very disgusted with the Li royal family, and even said to be disgusted, so Zhang Zong had such speculation.
