Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3 The Different Zhang Rang
When Zhang De finished dealing with the men in black in front of him, there were only six guards around the sedan chair, and the eunuchs had been slaughtered long ago. Fifty black-clothed men surrounded them, secretly shouting that they might die here today. Seeing that there were few guards, the black-clothed men rushed forward and wanted to settle the battle as soon as possible, but the rest of the guards were all highly skilled in martial arts. Relying on the sedan chair, you don't have to worry about the enemies behind you. At the same time, the guards also know that only if you persist until the guard soldiers arrive in the city can you survive.

At this moment, the door of the sedan chair was opened, and a middle-aged man came out of the sedan chair. I saw that this man was about seven feet tall, with a ruddy complexion, no beard, and very bright eyes. He could not be said to be very handsome, but It also makes people look very comfortable.This person was dressed gorgeously, with a sword at his waist, and this person was Zhang Rang, the great eunuch.When the men in black saw Zhang Rang coming out, they were taken aback. Zhang De also took advantage of this time to rush from behind the sedan chair to the guards in front of the sedan chair. After all, places with many people are safer.

Seeing Zhang Rang, the leader of the men in black immediately regained his spirits, rushed over with his knife, and shouted at the same time: "Brothers, kill Zhang Rang quickly!"

Zhang De suddenly came to his senses when he heard the leader of the man in black call "Zhang Rang, a dog", Zhang Rang, isn't he the ten regular attendant, plus the fact that the eunuchs called him "Zhang Hou Ye" just now, Zhang De was even more sure This person is Zhang Rang.It seems that I have returned to the end of the Han Dynasty, and it seems that Emperor Ling has not died yet. I don't know if Zhang Jiao has rebelled.

At this time, the leader of the man in black had already rushed to the sedan chair. This leader was indeed very skilled in martial arts. A guard came up to block him, but he was cut down by the leader with one move.Then he rushed to Zhang Rang.

"Her dog, take your life!" The leader of the man in black was so fast that he rushed to Zhang Rang before the others could react.Raise the knife and chop at Zhang Rang.

"Huh!" A cold snort came from Zhang Rang's nose, Zhang Rang pressed his hand on the sword, and then heard a "puchi", and saw that Zhang Rang's sword had pierced the throat of the leader of the man in black!

What happened at this moment stunned everyone. Many people didn't even see clearly how Zhang Rang drew his sword like this. Only Zhang De saw clearly that it seemed to be very similar to the sword drawing technique in Little Japan's kendo. short circuited.In my impression, an eunuch like Zhang Rang should have a sharp mouth and a dirty face, but Zhang Rang's appearance makes people look very comfortable, as if he is a loyal person, what is even more unexpected is that Zhang Rang actually Knowing martial arts, and seeing that he is a master of swordsmanship, four big characters flashed in Zhang De's mind - Sunflower Book!
In fact, Zhang De misunderstood Zhang Rang. The ten permanent servants themselves are not ugly, especially Zhang Rang, who is not the kind of person with a sharp mouth and a cheek. Part of the reason why Emperor Ling of Han trusted Zhang Rang was Zhang Rang. Let him grow up like a loyal minister, besides, the eunuchs in the palace should not be too ugly, otherwise, wouldn't the emperor be very upset when he saw it!And the eunuchs are not idle, for example, the eunuch Jian Shuo, who is proficient in the art of war and is quite powerful; and Zhang Rang helped Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty kill the general Dou Wu at that time, and Zhang Rang also recommended Zhu Jun during the Yellow Turban Rebellion , so Zhang Rang is also very resourceful.But Zhang Rang's knowledge of martial arts has never been exposed.

Zhang Ranghui has to be attributed to Wang Yue.At that time, the great swordsman Wang Yue knew Zhang Rang when he was teaching swordsmanship in the palace. Wang Yue was very famous and wanted to be an official. So I learned one hand of swordsmanship. Although I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, it is more than enough to protect myself, at least it is very powerful in foot combat.In addition, Zhang Rang used to serve the Lingdi personally, and he had learned some martial arts to protect the Lingdi, so Zhang Rang's martial arts are very good now.

However, Zhang Rang's sword-drawing technique existed as early as the pre-Qin period. At that time, when Jing Ke assassinated King Qin, King Yingzheng of Qin could not pull out the sword because the sword was too long. Later, thanks to the minister's sentence "the king bears the sword", he was saved. own life.King Qin was afraid of meeting the assassin again.He asked the Daqin warriors to study how to draw the long sword as quickly as possible, so he created the sword drawing technique, which was later brought to Japan by Xu Fu and evolved into the "sword drawing technique", and the authentic sword drawing technique has also been handed down in China. It was not lost until later.

Zhang Rang's sword-drawing technique was learned from Wang Yue, and it was indeed to protect Emperor Ling personally at the beginning.Later, when Zhang Rang's official position was promoted, he didn't need to use martial arts. Only a few people such as Lingdi, Wang Yue, and Zhao Zhong knew about Zhang Rang's knowledge of martial arts. master.

……

At this time, when the men in black saw the leader being instantly killed by Zhang Rang, their offensive stopped instantly. The guards took advantage of this opportunity to fight back one after another, and several men in black were stabbed down in the blink of an eye.At this time, there was a sound of fighting in the distance, and the sound was getting closer.Looking far away, I saw a group of soldiers coming to kill them. They were fully armored, and they were regular soldiers at a glance.

The surviving leader of the guards shouted: "Hold on, everyone, reinforcements are coming!" The guards couldn't help but their morale was shaken when they heard it, while the man in black seemed even more flustered.

The men in black saw that they would not succeed in killing any more, and the leader was dead, so they scattered in a blast and ran away in all directions. As soon as the men in black ran away, a group of soldiers came to kill them. Zhang De knew that his life was counted. saved.

The patrolling soldiers came over arrogantly, but seeing that it was Zhang Rang's banner, the leading soldier immediately broke out in a cold sweat.The soldiers guarding Luoyang like them naturally recognized the sedan chairs of the dignitaries in Luoyang, and naturally knew Zhang Rang's status.If something happened to Zhang Rang, it's not something a soldier like him can afford.However, these soldiers were also clever, and immediately surrounded the car in the middle, set up a defensive formation, and said nothing to let the thieves hurt Zhang Rang.

After a while, a group of cavalry rushed over. The leader was tall and strong. Looking closer, he was wearing a bright iron armor. He looked about 40 or [-] years old. He had no beard on his face, but he was full of fortitude.

The leader saw Zhang Rang when he was far away from the sedan chair, so he got off his horse, walked quickly to Zhang Rang, knelt down and said, "Jian Shuo came late, and Zhang Hou was surprised. Jian Shuo deserves to die."

"Get up and escort Benhou back to the mansion." Zhang Rang said, suddenly saw Zhang De standing among the guards, nodded with a smile, and said to Zhang De: "Well, you have good marksmanship, where did you come from?" yes?"

Before Zhang De could speak, the chief guard next to him reported to Zhang Rang: "Back to Lord Hou, he is the one brought by Eunuch Sun just now."

Only then did Zhang Rang remember that there was such a person as Zhang De. He looked at Zhang De and said, "Well, the young man looks very handsome and has good skills. I like it. It's a pity to send him to the palace. From now on, he will follow me as a Get a bodyguard!" He said and returned to the sedan chair.Jian Shuo hurriedly called eight strong men to act as bearers temporarily, protecting Zhang Rang and walking towards Zhang's residence.Zhang De also followed the crowd back to Zhang Rang's mansion.

Back at Zhang Rang's mansion, someone naturally took Zhang De to wash and change clothes, and arranged for him to live.Zhang De is now Zhang Rang's personal bodyguard, and his status is naturally unusual. Looking at the flattering eyes of the servants in Zhang Rang's mansion, Zhang Dexin said, it seems that no matter what era it is, it is better to be rich and powerful, and just now he was "tied up" Waiting for eunuchs", but now there are a group of people serving them.

……

In the secret room of Zhang Rang's mansion, the ten permanent servants are gathering together.Hearing the news of Zhang Rang's assassination, ten permanent attendants came to Zhang Rang's house one after another.The ten permanent attendants were headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, so when Zhang Rang was assassinated, everyone was very nervous. When they heard that Zhang Rang was fine, they rushed to Zhang Rang's house to discuss.

"Who is so bold, dare to assassinate Zhang Houye." Guo Sheng's voice was the loudest.Fortunately, it was in the secret room, otherwise the whole mansion would have heard his voice.

"It must be the gang of Qingliu. These people have always been against us, they must have done it. Hmph, if His Majesty didn't let them move, they would have been skinned and cramped long ago!" Song Dian said bitterly.

Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong, meaning that you should also share your opinion.Seeing Zhang Rang's questioning gaze, Zhao Zhong coughed lightly, and said, "I don't think Qingliu did it. This group of people has always regarded themselves as gentlemen, and they probably wouldn't use assassination as a method. Besides, there are so many killers this time." Those Qingliu didn't have the strength to gather so many killers. On the contrary, He Jin and Yuan Wei are more likely. He Jin has become smarter in recent years. He didn't want to fight Yuan Wei all the time in the past few years, but went with Yuan Wei. It’s quite close, and this time it even used the crossbow arrows in the army. I think it’s probably Yuan Kai’s attention and He Jin’s implementation.”

"What Zhao Hou said is very reasonable. This He Jin is really not a thing. If we hadn't spoken good words to his sister when His Majesty wanted to abolish his sister, he would be where he is today!" Song Dian said first.

Everyone praised what Zhao Zhong said was reasonable, and Zhang Rang nodded frequently after hearing it.In the end, Zhang Rang said: "No matter who they are, we have to give them some color! Today is really dangerous, and I almost died. But today, the guards from the capital came very quickly, and they deserve a reward. "

"Master Zhang is so blessed, what does the little assassin care about?"

"Master Hou is superb in martial arts, unparalleled in the world, let alone dozens of assassins, ten times as many as you come here." Everyone flattered.

"Okay, let's leave today, but everyone should be careful and bring more people with you when you go in and out." Seeing Zhang Rang's words, everyone said goodbye and left.

After sending everyone away, Zhang Rang said to his housekeeper Zhang Zhong: "Go and check the beautiful young man named Zhang De that I brought into the mansion, and see if there is anything wrong."

"Yes, the younger one will do it now. Also, do you want the younger one to check on the military crossbow?"

"No need, you really thought it was He Jin who did it. He Jin is indecisive, so he wouldn't be so determined to eat and kill me. You can't find anything if you go to investigate now. Hmph, this time Yuan Kai did something by himself, but It’s a good idea to ask He Jin to bear the burden with him! Mr. Yuan Kai, just wait…”
