Wang Dong left that night.
Zhang Shixun could even see flying objects streaking across the sky from his residence in the capital.
"Shixun, I'm leaving now. Please take good care of Gao Laozhuang for me... Oh, I hate being lonely, so I'm bringing Sun Sansi along too."
"Oh my god! You're taking her with you. Are you planning to build a little man on the moon?"
"The gravity on the moon is different from that on Earth. Only God knows whether we can create a little man."
"I wish you a safe journey, all fours up in the air."
"Haha! There's no concept of heaven in space, your scolding is in vain."
Zhang Shixun decided not to pay any more attention to him and went to find Li Shishi with the meat bun.
Li Shishi is now completely relieved, and she even got angry with Li Ma for this.
She was busy with disaster relief work during the day, and went to the piano room to play the piano at night. When she was tired, she lay on the embroidered couch and read.
When Zhang Shixun came, she was washing her feet. When she heard that Zhang Shixun was coming, she wiped her feet and came out to greet him in her embroidered shoes.
"Sir, why are you here at this time?"
"Haha! Didn't it delay your rest?"
"No, I ran around all day and was a little tired. I just washed my feet and got ready for bed... Oh! What a cute little puppy, where did you get it?"
Li Shishi stretched out her slender hand and gently stroked the bag of flesh in his arms.
"When I woke up from my nap, it was lying next to my bed."
Zhang Shixun handed her the meat bun and said, "It looks so cute. I thought you needed a companion, so I brought it to you."
Li Shishi took the meaty bun and rolled her eyes at him. "Can you change your words? I remember saying the same thing when I gave the vegetable bun to Saisai."
"Haha! I was just joking. As for its origins, don't ask. You wouldn't understand even if I told you... It's following you, and it will protect you every step of the way."
Upon hearing this, Li Shishi blinked, "So, it's a divine dog?"
"Whatever you say...Rou Bao, Madam Li will be your master from now on, you must protect her well."
“Woof...Woof...!” Roubao called out softly twice, looking at Li Shishi with a pair of bright eyes.
"Oh! Such gentle calls, it seems like he's recognized his master."
Li Shishi put her face against its little head and loved it very much.
Zhang Shixun instructed: "Bathe it frequently and don't feed it. If it gets hungry, it will go out and find food on its own."
"Yeah! I know, it's a divine dog, different from ordinary dogs."
Zhang Shixun just laughed off Li Shishi's self-righteousness.
"Since you are going to sleep, I won't stay here any longer. Goodbye!"
"Yes! I'll take you there."
Li Shishi was carrying a meat bun and was walking him out. Just after she took a few steps, she cried out "ouch" and stumbled.
Zhang Shixun asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I walked a lot today and got a blister on my foot. I was just about to pop it after washing my feet and going to bed."
"If it's not big, it's better not to prick it."
"It's quite big." Li Shishi stretched out her finger and gestured.
"Go back inside and let me see."
Li Shishi blushed and said shyly, "Sir, this isn't right, is it?"
Zhang Shixun blurted out, "You will be mine sooner or later, there's nothing wrong with that."
Without saying anything, he pulled Li Shishi back into the house and looked at the blisters on Li Shishi's feet, which were only the size of soybeans.
"The blister isn't that big, so don't pop it. Wear looser shoes for the next couple of days and it will heal quickly."
Li Shishi retracted her foot and nodded, "I will obey you, sir."
"Then... I'm leaving now. No need to see me off."
As Zhang Shixun said this, he quickly kissed her on the cheek, stood up and left without looking back.
Li Shishi was caught off guard and was kissed directly. She was stunned on the spot, then her face flushed. She looked at the back of the figure escaping out the door and spat softly, "Zhang Shixun, you are a pervert."
Zhang Shixun let out a hearty laugh.
…
As soon as Wang Dong left with the Black and White Impermanence, the heroes of Liangshan naturally disappeared.
No one in the government knew that the culprit had already fled far away, and they were still searching for Shi Qian and others in the capital.
This time the imperial court was serious about it, mobilizing all the forces it could, even the street offices, and the soldiers searched house to house.
A few days later, while the search was still ongoing, two guests came to Zhang Shixun's home.
"Zhang Shuye?"
"Prefect of Dengzhou, and Governor-General of the Southern Circuit." Zhang Shixun flipped through the invitation in his hand and muttered, "What does this old man want to see me for?"
Zhang Shixun knew a little about Zhang Shuye.
Zhang Shuye’s image in "Water Margin" is not very good. He is a real bad guy and a bastard.
He led the recruited Song Jiang to fight against Fang La, and more than half of the heroes of Liangshanpo were killed. Then, on the way back, he killed Song Jiang and others. He was a real executioner.
In real history, Zhang Shuye was a loyal general who died for his country.
During the Jingkang Incident, he led his troops to defend the city of Bianliang. After the failure, he was captured by the Jin Kingdom along with Emperor Qinzong of Song. He committed suicide on the way. He was 63 years old.
Zhang Shixun respected such people.
He went out to greet him, and said respectfully, "Zhang Zhifu, it is a great honor for me to have you visit my humble abode."
Zhang Shuye looked him up and down, nodded, and said, "I've heard of Master Zhang's great name for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary."
"The term 'Tianshi' is a random term used by the people of the capital. It shouldn't be taken seriously... Oh! This is not the place to talk. Please come in."
He brought Zhang Shuye and his followers to the living room and asked Sangou to make tea.
After they sat down, Zhang Shixun didn't intend to beat around the bush and asked directly: "I wonder if Magistrate Zhang has condescended to come here. What advice do you have?"
Zhang Shuye was very fond of his forthright character. He stroked his beard and said, "I have been ordered to come to the capital to capture the Liangshan bandits."
"I see."
Zhang Shixun glanced at his two followers and nodded, "The situation has been very tense recently. The government has been searching every household for the Liangshan bandits. Just this morning, several groups of people came to investigate. It's really annoying."
"If I tell you that these so-called Liangshan heroes are not from Liangshan, what would you think?"
"They're not from Liangshan?" Zhang Shixun frowned in a mock manner. "Are you saying they're fake?"
"Yes, they are fake."
"What evidence?"
Zhang Shuye pointed at the two followers and said, "They are the real heroes of Liangshan, but they have accepted the imperial court's amnesty and are now my subordinates."
"Really?" Zhang Shixun looked at the two of them and asked casually, "Who are they...?"
A dark-skinned, muscular man clasped his fists and said, "I am Song Jiang."
Another thin, pale-faced man followed suit, saying, "My name is Wu Jialiang."
Zhang Shixun stood up, clasped his fists and said in return, "I've heard a lot about you! I've heard a lot about you!"
