Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 13

Zhang Zhongjian?
Wandering guest?
Chen Qingsi's mouth was a little dry. So, is this girl really Li Jing's granddaughter?
The legendary deeds of the Three Fengchen Heroes were not only heard by him in various legends of later generations, but Chen Qingsi also had many legends about him in his own memory. He was the number one hero in the south of the Yangtze River. He was the most popular among the heroes and had great prestige. Later, he disappeared. There were rumors that it went overseas, and now it appears here.

"My little friend seems to have heard my name, and also knows that I am a man who promises a lot of money and never lies."

"My granddaughter dressed up like this and entered your house at night with no ill intentions."

"It's a long story. When I was young, I was ashamed to make a promise to someone, but I trusted him and I would not give up even if I died. I don't think I know this person, and I don't need to know."

"But you should have heard of her apprentice, Fire Phoenix Club Chen Shuozhen..."

Chen Qingsi had heard rumors from Chen Shuozhen that there was a flood that had never happened in a century in Qingxi County. Regardless of her own safety, she opened her employer's granary to help the victims and was beaten black and blue.People who received relief food rescued Chen Shuozhen and helped her escape into the mountains.

According to legend, she met Taishang Laojun in the mountains and granted her immortal magic. After coming down from the mountains, she founded the Fire Phoenix Society and plotted to rebel.

From this point of view, Taishang Laojun is fake, but meeting the strange person Qiu Hu Ke met back then is real.

Zhang Zhongjian continued: "Chen Shuozhen killed himself by striking an egg against a stone. The man sent a message to me, entrusting Chen Shuozhen's niece to me and asking me to protect her. This matter is irresistible, but the little girl was separated in the war and there was no news. I accidentally learned that in Tongzhou There were traces in Guanshan, and I have been tracking her to this point. I used my past connections to investigate secretly, and suspected that the matter was wrong. The possibility of that little girl appearing here is extremely slim."

"In order to get an answer and avoid wasting time, Hongqing came to the village to investigate. She has some connections with Elder Peng, so she can find out some things."

"Hongqing is a bit like her grandmother. She hates evil as much as she hates her. She has a strong temper and can't help but act impulsively."

"Hongqing has learned the true story of her grandmother, and has followed me all year round, and her martial arts knowledge is far better than ordinary people. You can capture her, which shows that you are extraordinary. I will tell you all the cause and effect, and I believe that my little friend has enough intelligence to distinguish between enemies and friends, and choose to advance or retreat."

"I just want an answer, and I don't want to hurt any of my lives."

Chen Qingsi secretly exclaimed "Awesome". This old guy is a lot older, and his words and deeds are well-founded and convincing.

Of course, the most convincing thing about this old guy is his terrifying ability to break the door bolt with one hand.

Chen Qingsi said: "What the old man said makes sense. With the force you always show, squeezing a junior like me to death would be like squeezing an ant to death. Trading the life of the Li family's wife for mine is indeed a gain for me." Well. How about this, you always retreat to the woodshed behind the house, and I let the Li family’s wife go.”

"good idea!"

Zhang Zhongjian walked out of the house without hesitation.

Chen Qingsi did not let Li Hongqing go, but walked out of the house and came to an old locust tree in front of the house.

Zhang Zhongjian smiled knowingly when he saw this, entered the house and untied the hunting net from Li Hongqing.

Li Hongqing's eyes turned red with anger, and she rushed out of the house like a cheetah.

However, Zhang Zhongjian grabbed her and led her to the outside of the house. He did not come near, but said in a low but ear-piercing voice: "I don't know the answer I want. Can you give me some advice?"

Chen Qingsi said: "One life for another, I made the fairest deal with my seniors, why should I force more?"

"You..." Li Hongqing was even more angry and speechless. When he touched his waist, he saw that the sword was not there. Tonight, he just wanted to press for answers. He never thought about revealing his identity, nor did he think about taking human lives for nothing.

Now she regrets it a little.

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, I owe you a favor today, I hope my little friend will tell you."

Chen Qingsi changed the subject and said: "The seniors are highly respected and respected by the juniors, but there is no one here that the seniors are looking for..."

Zhang Zhongjian said "See you later" and motioned to Li Hongqing to get his luggage.Chen Qingsi followed: "We will see you later." But she added in her heart that it would be best to "see you later".

Li Hongqing reluctantly took the little red horse and the luggage, and the old and the young gradually drifted away.

Chen Qingsi leaned against the locust tree almost exhausted and let out a long breath.

The more Li Hongqing thought about it, the angrier he became, and the harder he walked, the heavier he walked. He thought that he had learned from two great masters, rode horses and swords, acted chivalrously and acted righteously. Wherever he went, he would not be called a chivalrous woman in red, but today he would be called a chivalrous woman with a pair of feet. The man who was injured and even limping when he walked was captured. If you want to talk about it, where should you put your face?

Do you want to travel around the world again?
She looked at the grandfather beside her, over and over again.

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head and said with a smile: "Aren't you lucky yet?"

Li Hongqing said: "Humph!"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Then you go back now and kill him?"

The corner of Li Hongqing's mouth twitched and said: "That doesn't matter. In the final analysis, it was me who sneaked into his house. But he is too despicable. No, I can't get angry. I don't have a clear idea... Otherwise, go beat him up." ?”

Zhang Zhongjian said: "It's not impossible. Let's do this. When I leave the village, you can beat him again. This way, your grandfather doesn't have to be buried with him."

Li Hongqing's face froze and he hurriedly asked: "What does this mean? Can he still threaten you?"

Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said: "Remember where he went after he left the house."

Li Hongqing said: "Isn't it under the old locust tree... By the way, there is a gathering bell there. He is..."

Zhang Zhongjian said: "He is ready to die with us! Your grandfather has never been afraid of his opponent's martial arts, which is just a matter of three or two strikes. It's scary that there are so many people, and age is not forgiving. The village is terrible Everyone knows that he was once the target of the Fire Phoenix Society. Girl, you may still have a chance to break through the encirclement, but I can't."

Li Hongqing only felt a chill, pursed his lips and said, "That's not it, is he really that powerful?"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "It's more powerful than you think. Since the person is not here, it means that he has not met anyone from the Fire Phoenix Society. Then how did he get injured? Who would assassinate a powerless commoner for no reason? Lan The Lingxiao family thought that it was easy to control a common people, but in the end they were forced to move forward or retreat. A common people who had no one to rely on and was under control in every aspect, wandered in danger. Such people lacked an opportunity, or they would die. , or soar into the sky."

In fact, he still had something to say. If Chen Qingsi asked Li Hongqing's identity, was he a remnant of the Fire Phoenix Society, was he turned in for credit, or something else, was he really Li Jing's granddaughter, was he killed, or something else.

Zhang Zhongjian himself didn't know the answer.

Li Hongqing asked after a long while: "Then is he good or bad?"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Who can say this accurately? People's hearts are the most unpredictable. Grandfather suddenly thought of someone?"

"Who?"

"Cao Cao is a capable minister in times of trouble and a traitor in troubled times."

Li Hongqing suddenly stopped and said, "Then I'd better go and chop him!"

Zhang Zhongjian said in astonishment: "Why?"

Li Hongqing said: "If Jiangnan is governed like this by the Dog Emperor, then he must be a traitor."
