burning nations

Chapter 17
"The Lei family in Hezhou is the same as the Lanzhou historians mentioned by the old man before. They are all superior and wealthy families that have been maintained since Shang Yuji. Jin Jiangong. This thunder quilt was originally from Luzhou, Huainan. When he was young, he was a famous knight in Huainan. He was famous for his swordsmanship. When Emperor Renzong was in power, Emperor Renzong wanted to take the current Lingzhou, but he was defeated. He lost Yuanzhou, and the Cypriots rebelled against the empire. In this situation, the empire urgently needs a victory to stabilize the hearts of the ruling and wild people. Inspiring the morale of the people and the army, Lei was born at the right moment! He led thousands of disciples, recruited exiles and wanted criminals from the rivers and lakes, and recruited Ding Zhuang from the Sai, Xi, He, Qin, Huan, and high-level barbarian tribes at the border. An army of nearly [-] people raided the city of Fanghan on a night of heavy snow, and defeated the enemy and captured the city in eight days of bloody battle."

Qi Qi drank a cup of tea, and then said: "Emperor Renzong was overjoyed when the news came to Beijing. Not only did he hand over Hezhou to Lei Yu's jurisdiction like Shi Tang, but he also gave the title "Zhenxi Army" based on the rest of Lei Bei's army. One of the three frontier legions that do not obey the orders of the imperial court."

"At that time, Renmei called it the "Five Generals of the Northwest"!"

"Five Generals of the Northwest?" Zhang Caiyan, who was so attentive to the lecture, asked rhetorically.

Qi Qi explained: "The Northwest Five Generals refer to the five famous generals who opened up Lanzhou, Hezhou, Lingzhou, Huizhou, and Taozhou for the empire in the northwest during the reign of emperors Renzong, Xiaozong, and Yingzong. The Lei family of Hezhou, the Dong family of Lingzhou, the Huangfu family of Huizhou, and the Xianyu family of Taozhou."

As he spoke, Qi Qi explained them one by one.
After Qi Qi finished speaking, Zhang Cai's physical strength had almost recovered, and he continued to practice martial arts in the martial arts arena.When I walked back to the martial arts arena, I found that the martial arts arena had already been occupied by people. There were Zhang Han, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Zhang Ren fighting each other in pairs to compete in martial arts. The head of the family, Zhang Kuang, led a group of young people from the Zhang family to observe. It is not just the Zhang family.

Some people have clover embroidered on their clothes, it's the Zhang family.There are also some people with three triangles embroidered on their clothes. This is the Huang family in Tingshan, Zhang Cai's mother's family.There are also some people with eight Wen coins embroidered on their clothes, which should be the Kong family in Linyi County.The clothes are embroidered with circles and crosses. There is only one family in Qizhou, and Shang family in Quanjie County.What's more, they simply embroidered a big T on the clothes, so it doesn't have to be Licheng Ding's family!

In addition to so many people, Zhang Cai also saw three familiar figures, but couldn't remember who they were.

[This Zhang Kuang, why bring so many people here? 】

Zhang Cai was about to turn around and leave in disgust, but she didn't want to be seen and yelled out.

"Cai'er, where are you going?"

Zhang Cai had no choice but to retch and turned around to salute: "I have seen patriarch Zhang leave."

Zhang Kuang was taken aback: "Cai'er, if you're not busy, I'll compete with your elder brothers."

"Daddy has other homework assignments, and he will check at night. If the patriarch wants to watch a martial arts show, there are exactly four people on the stage. I don't need me. Let me go!" Zhang Cai raised his legs and was about to leave, completely ignoring Zhang Kuang's gloomy expression.

It seems that as long as Zhang Kuang sees Zhang Cai, his face will never turn dark.

The other children from other families who were accompanying them were very surprised. They had all heard of Zhang Cai's murderous reputation, but it was always better to see once than to hear about it. Seeing the daughter of the clan contradict the patriarch so much.While watching Zhang's family jokes, I also feel disgusted by Zhang Cai's behavior.

Maybe it was because of embarrassment, or maybe it was because they wanted to make a name for themselves in front of Zhang Kuang, but a member of the Zhang family who didn't know how to live or die stepped forward, rushing to act as an experience package for Zhang Cai.

"Bold! How did you talk to the patriarch, you ignorant girl? Apologize to the patriarch! Otherwise, I'll be pissed off."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Cai turned around and slapped him. His hand was so strong that he was slapped in circles on the spot, and he couldn't stand still with staring eyes.

"Otherwise what? Slap me? Just you?!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cai gave another slap, crisp and loud.

"You are so brave! I didn't see you so brave when the Iron Man invaded!"

Snapped!
"I didn't see you so brave when the Jinren violated the border!"

Snapped!
"I didn't see you so brave when the master killed and plundered the people of Zhuzhou!"

Snapped!
"I didn't see you so brave when Lin Renbei violated the southern border!"

Snapped!
"Do you dare to kill the bear in Qingcheng Mountain! Do you dare to beat the tiger to death with your fist! Stupid pig!"

Snapped!
"The iron men dare not join the army, the golden men dare not join the army, the tall men dare not join the army, the forest men dare not join the army, the bears dare not fight, the tigers dare not fight. Seeing weak women who are thinner and smaller than you Have the courage? Have the guts?!"

Snapped!
"Answer me! What's the use of the Zhang family with a bullying thing like you? Huh?! Answer me!!!"

After Zhang Cai roared, regardless of the pain in his hand after slapping him nine times, he slapped the man up on the spot with another slap, and flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Needless to say, the others were surprised.

Seeing Zhang Cai's arrogance, someone complained!

"Shu Zi'an dares!"

A strong man from the Huang family embroidered with three triangles raised his fist and rushed towards Zhang Cai, but no one stopped him.Zhang Cai narrowed his eyes, staring at the fist that was getting closer and closer to his face, withdrew his left leg, raised his left hand to the right side, and clasped it precisely on the wrist of the strong man, and then moved back, left foot Sweeping against his shins, knocking him off balance, he fell to the ground.

The process only lasted three seconds, so in the eyes of others, it was the strong man who punched nothing, and then fell to the ground.

"What? You are also a waste who only has strength to beat women?" Zhang Cai did not forget to provoke.

"Ah!!!" The strong man couldn't bear the humiliation of the girl, got up from the ground and punched him again. This time Zhang Cai would not spare him again.

With a contemptuous grin on the corner of his mouth, before his fist touched his body, Zhang Cai quickly punched the strong man in the heart, and the strong man almost lost his breath.Immediately, Zhang Cai slammed his arms left and right, and hit the strong man's armpit for a while, feeling weak. Then his right hand was like a sharp knife, and his left hand clenched into a fist. The legwork quickly made up, sweeping the leg to sweep him down, and chopping the strong man's neck with his right hand.

The strong man fell down, coughing non-stop.

Zhang Cai continued walking without looking back.

Zhang Kuang swallowed nervously.

"Brother Zhang, is this girl so strong in martial arts?"

Zhang Kuang didn't reply.

In the crowd, there were three pairs of eyes recording Zhang Cai's heroic posture just now.

"Father, is sister so powerful?"

The biological father Zhang Hun, who had been forgotten by Zhang Cai, said vaguely: "It should be, it should be."

The two of them were used as warm-ups. In the afternoon, Zhang Kuang felt that it was time to leave. Zhang Cai went back to the martial arts field to practice guns, but Zhang Han and the other four hadn't left yet.

"Hey? Sister Cai is here, come and see how my martial arts are doing?" the cheeky Zhang He said first.

Zhang Cai looked at the four of them, sighed softly, turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Cai suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and immediately turned around to avoid it, and pulled out the horizontal knife from the sheath with his backhand.

"Zhang Han! You want to kill me?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Look at the halberd!"

Zhang Han Surong swung his halberd and swept towards him, but Zhang Cai held the head of the halberd with a knife without mercy, and drew out the knife in circles to approach him.Zhang Han hastily withdrew his halberd and went back to defend, but Zhang Cai had expected that his move was the same as that used against a strong man. He grabbed the halberd shaft with his left hand, kicked Zhang Han's waist and hips with his long legs, and slashed at Zhang Han's neck with his right hand.

This time it's a real knife!

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer in the blade, Zhang Han didn't know what to do in a panic, when he saw that he was only an inch away from his neck, a big knife came from behind, scraping his cheeks to block Zhang Cai's attack.

Zhang Cai raised his brows, and fixed his eyes to see that Zhang Liao was coming to fight with a sword.

"Made courts death!"

Zhang Liao slashed with his sword, Zhang Cai jumped sideways on both legs, and hid beside Zhang Liao.Seeing that he was showing signs of raising the knife, Zhang Cai immediately pressed his left hand on his right hand, and raised the knife with both hands to chop down. He heard a harsh metal collision sound, and the head of Zhang Liao's long knife was cut off by Zhang Cai!

Zhang Liao turned pale with fright while holding the headless knife.

At this moment, Zhang Ren charged forward with a gun.

Zhang Cai swung his knife to block in contempt, retreating while parrying, Zhang Ren followed up, and swiped while stabbing with a long spear. Just as Zhang Ren stabbed a spear, Zhang Cai lifted his jade arm lightly, clamped the gun under his armpit, and held the spear with his right hand. The horizontal knife didn't stop, and swung it along the barrel of the gun to "push the boat along the water". Zhang Ren hurriedly abandoned the gun, and was kicked away by Zhang Cai.

Seeing this, Zhang He caught Zhang Ren and stabbed him with his spear.Zhang Cai continued to block with his saber, but kept pressing on Zhang He.Seeing this, Zhang He brandished his spear and swiped across. Zhang Cai saw the momentum and put the knife across the outside of his jade arm to block again, then stepped forward and flew, the blade rested on Zhang He's neck before he retracted the spear.

"Is it fun?" Zhang Cai asked coldly.

Zhang He swallowed: "Sister, put the knife away first, it's dangerous."

Zhang Cai suddenly felt an unknown anger rising, grabbed Zhang Yun's gun, and began to practice marksmanship.

Zhang Cai attacked with anger, the long spear only stabs but not sweeps, one shot is faster than one shot.Zhang Han and the others dared to take up their weapons to touch her at first, but they didn't dare to confront her when they saw the speed of the gun was too fast.
