Chapter 28
"So it's Brother Guanxi," Wang Santao said, "I wonder what family is in the house of Brother Guanxi?"
Zhang Chi didn't know much about the prominent families in Health City, so he had to say: "Actually, I am about the same as my third brother. I am the general of the Lord Baowang of Shangshu Zuo Pushe's house."
"So it's the in-laws." Wang San clapped his hands and said.
"In-law?" Zhang Chi was confused. I had no children, so where did I get my in-laws?
"Of course it's the in-laws. My son and your lady are about to get married. According to the days, it seems that they will be finished in the next two days." Wang San stretched out his index fingers with his hands and made a pair of gestures, and explained with a smile: "Shangshu Zuo Pushe and Zhongshu Ling have become in-laws. What do you think our two families are not in-laws?"
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly, "I'm not going to do anything about getting married, but Wang Guobao made a marriage contract for Miss Wang. Zhang Chi naturally didn't know and asked strangely: "Miss Wang wants to marry your son?"
However, Wang San did not answer this sentence. At this time, he was twisting his neck and staring at the city gate, as if he had found something. He was afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye. He patted Zhang Chi's shoulder without looking back and said, "Brother Guan Xi, wait for me for a while."
After saying that, Wang San walked quietly to the city gate and grabbed a young man looking around next to the city gate. The young man looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was handsome and looked around. He was not careful and looked around. He was hugged by Wang San in the waist and forced him back to Zhang Chi.
When he arrived at a secluded place, the young man shook Wang San's arm and said angrily: "Don't worry about me, I don't want to be a slave."
Wang San also said furiously: "Do you think I am willing to care about you? If my parents hadn't died early and only the three of us brothers were left, I wouldn't bother to care about your life or death."
After saying that, he said to Zhang Chi: "Brother Guanxi is a joke. This is my brother, named Wang Qi."
"My name is Lin Qi, not Wang Qi." The young man retorted loudly: "How can a real man be born and raised by his parents and raised by heaven and earth? How can he forget his ancestor's surname? Only those who are willing to be slaves will change their surnames."
The three brothers have very different personalities and do not want to be a mother or a compatriot at all. Even Zhang Chi couldn't help but think of it in his heart when he looked at it.
Zhang Chi thought Wang Sanhui taught this brother a lesson, but unexpectedly, Wang San lowered his head and sighed, and said to his brother helplessly: "Brother, I know you have ambition since you were a child, but why did you get married and be born in a poor and humble family? Even if your ambition is higher than the sky, what's the use?"
"In this world, ambition is not as good as a meal." Seeing that his brother was still angry, Wang San patted his brother on the shoulder with his hand and said, "You and my brother, your parents died early. There is no tiles on the top of his head, and no inch of land under his feet. A commoner is just a piece of grass, and anyone can step on it. If you don't join the Wang family, then it will be one of the hungry people everywhere in the deserted mountains outside the city. Do you think I am willing to change my ancestor's surname? If you don't change your surname, where did you eat in the past few years?"
Wang San spread his hands and looked helpless. After all, blood is thicker than water. Although Wang San has been practicing slickering mouths over the years, he is indeed sincere when facing his brothers.
Unexpectedly, the boy was not grateful, raised his sword eyebrows and said, "Are you willing to be the Wang family's dog if you are hungry and the Wang family gives you food?"
This sentence made Wang Santou choke back all the prepared words. He was so angry that his body trembled, pointing at Lin Qi and saying, "You...you..."
"Anyway, I'm fed up with the anger of the young master of the Wang family. He was ignorant all day long and knew to bully me. Today, I simply beat him into a pig's head. I'm afraid you can't let me go back to the Wang family again." Lin Qi said with his fist.
"You actually beat the young master?" Wang San was so shocked that his soul lost his seven souls.
Seeing the third brother's frightened look, Lin Qi snorted and said, "Don't worry, third brother, I will never implicate you and fifth brother. One person does things and one person. I will go to the world now. Anyway, I'm happy to fight. Let them catch me, and see if they can catch it."
Wang Sanben saw his brother causing trouble, wondering how powerful the Wang family was, and was worried about his brother's safety. But at this time, Lin Qiyi's words became his own concern that he would cause trouble and would harm him, so angry that he could not tell.
But after all, he is his brother. Although Wang San was angry, he could not let go and scared Lin Qi, saying, "You are the best in the world? I tell you, don't run around. Have you seen that Jiankang City is now martial law? You can't even go out of the city gate. It's not easy to catch you? If you are caught, you will be chopped down with one knife. See if you can still be rampant!"
Wang San said earnestly: "You listen to the third brother first, go find a secluded place to hide. I will go back and plead with the adults. Maybe there will be a turning point."
The young man Lin Qi was wondering why Jiankang City was covered with martial law. He really believed that he wanted to capture himself. He stuck out his tongue, but he was not afraid. His eyes kept dripping, obviously he was thinking of a solution in his heart.
Although Wang San has become smart in the secular world, he is actually so sympathetic when he takes off his coat and reveals his nature. He is worried about his brotherly situation, so he sighs and turns to Zhang Chi and says, "Hey, Brother Guan Xi, you've been a joke today. My brother is young and doesn't know the hardships of the world. Now I have to rush back to the mansion and ask my elders for mercy. Maybe he can save his life."
Zhang Chi waved his hand and said, "You might as well, Brother Third, go and do it as soon as possible if you have something to do."
Wang San turned around and seemed to be intimidating and urged Lin Qi: "Don't run around, you won't know where to die at that time!"
After saying that, he was so angry that he pointed at Lin Qi with his finger, and rushed back to the mansion. He beat the young master. This was not an ordinary trivial matter. He was still thinking in his heart how to excuse his brother. His eyebrows were so distressed that they twisted into twists.
When Wang Sangang left, Lin Qi muttered, "Don't run around? Are you waiting to die here if you don't run?"
After saying that, he turned his head and was about to leave. Zhang Chi felt that the boy's personality was somewhat similar to his back then, so he asked, "You are very brave. You are really not afraid of being caught. What should you do if you are caught? Even if you are not caught, you will run out of the city and you have no food, aren't you afraid of starving to death?"
The boy was the most impulsive age in his life. Lin Qi had never thought about this and turned around and said, "So what if I starve to death? Even if I die, I have a lot of backbone. The young master of dog bullies me every day. I have had enough of it. Today he came to bully me again. If I don't hit him, how could I swallow this tone! At that time, I didn't have a knife in my hand, otherwise I would have to kill him."
When Zhang Chi heard him say that the process must be funny, he asked, "Then how did you hit him?"
"The young masters of the gentry looked sick. They usually rely on the servants to serve them, and they didn't even have any strength in their hands. I easily pressed him to the ground and then fisted and kicked him. Unfortunately, before I could finish the fight, a general heard the screams of the young master of dogs and came up to catch me. Fortunately, I ran fast, and the generals were clumsy and naturally couldn't catch me." Lin Qi said proudly.
"But now that Jiankang City has been covered with martial law, where can you run?" Zhang Chi was also worried about the safety of the boy and said, "It's better to listen to your third brother, endure the momentary anger, and then think of a solution from scratch."
Lin Qi curled his lips disdainfully and said, "You say the same thing as my third brother. I will do something big for you to see. How can that bird know the ambition of the gourd!"
Lin Qi was born in poverty and how could he read books? But when he heard people say this, he remembered it with great sincerity. Zhang Chi smiled and said, "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? It's not the ambition of a gourd."
"Anyway, that's what I mean. I'm leaving, don't follow me." Lin Qi ignored this and looked around and saw that there were no officers and soldiers. He ignored Zhang Chi and rushed into the alley next to him.
Zhang Chi sighed, but he was in the game now. In fact, he had never understood why Wang Xun had to kill him. The brothers who broke through together did not know where they were and whether they were safe. The clay Buddha crossed the river and didn't know what to do and how to help others? However, although this young man was young, he was a little crazy, and he was very sympathetic.
"The poor family is the highest, the lower class is the powerful." Zhang Chi was still sighing, and suddenly heard someone say behind him: "Does the young master also think that the heaven is unfair?"
Zhang Chi responded with a "Oh" and turned around.
"Some people were born with wealth and food, without learning and ignorance, unable to hold hands, unable to pick their shoulders, unable to write literature and fu, and unable to fight the enemy with martial arts, but such people must be high-ranking officials. But some people are more ambition than the sky and want to do great things, but just because they are from poor families, they end up serving the country without any way to serve the country. How unfair is the heaven?"
This is the first time that Zhang Chi has seen this person speak seriously. Because this person is not someone else, he is the old Taoist priest who tells Zhang Chi twice, and is like a charlatan.
Seeing the old Taoist priest walking over from not far away, Zhang Chi smiled and said, "The Taoist priest is a person who has realized the truth, but he doesn't know, how can I know."
"People who have attained enlightenment may not know," the old Taoist priest walked to Zhang Chi and said seriously: "On the contrary, some people have never realized the Tao, but what they say and do are the great Tao. I am just the person who has attained enlightenment, and you, young master, may be the person who knows it."
What Zhang Chi originally wanted to say was just that I didn’t know, but I didn’t expect that the old Taoist priest separated “Zhi” and “Tao”. After saying this, Zhang Chi asked strangely: “The Taoist priest has only met several times, how could he know that I am a person who knows it?”
Zhang Chi felt that speaking like a tongue twister was as awkward as a tongue twister.
The old Taoist priest suddenly changed his serious expression just now, returned to his previous style of a charlatan, smiled and said, "Don't forget, I can tell fortunes."
Zhang Chi suddenly realized that these two fortune-telling times were surprisingly accurate. He was determined to take the skills of this old Taoist priest and said, "I don't know why the martial law gate of Jiankang City Gate is prohibited today. Can the Taoist priest calculate the reason?"
"My skill can be calculated for a thousand years and a 500-year-old age. This small problem will naturally not hurt me. It is just to measure things. Unlike calculating people, calculating people only needs to measure words, look at faces, and observe bones. If you can measure things, you need to find a place to let the old Taoist make a divination." The old Taoist said confidently: "There is a wine shop not far ahead. Why don't I ask the young master to go there and sit there for a while, and call the divination while drinking. What do you think?"
"This idea is really good." Zhang Chi was already addicted to drinking, and was already hungry when he was outside the city. When he heard the old Taoist priest say this, he naturally had no objection and kept nodding.
