Chapter 96 Entering Shu

.Tuoba Hanxiang entered Shu and grew up in the Five Doks of Rice Road.

After Du Zigong's death, Sun Tai usurped the position of Shijun. These experiences happened when Hanxiang was young. She didn't know about it. The reason why she knew about it was told by the general who rescued her and Murong Qinru when she grew up.

In order to save Murong Qinru and Xiao Hanxiang, the general was cut off one arm during the war. When he arrived in Jiangnan, he was already disabled and could not support himself. How could he support these two women?

Later, all three of them joined the Five Doks of Rice Road. Murong Qinru married Sun Tai and became the Holy Mother, and the general raised Xiao Hanxiang alone.

The old general likes to tell Xiao Hanxiang the most is the customs and customs of the north, so she also told Santong that some common sense of hunters in the far north.

During his lifetime, the old general taught all his martial arts to Xiao Hanxiang, saying that one day Hanxiang would be able to return to his hometown.

Later, after Hanxiang grew up a little, the old general died of illness.

In fact, since Tuoba Hanxiang learned her identity, why didn’t she want to go back to her hometown? However, the north is too far away and the south of the Yangtze River is in turmoil, and Qin soldiers are stationed after passing the river.

Although the country names are all "Qin", the "Qin" at this time is definitely different from the Qin Dynasty during Fu Jian's time.

Back then, Fu Jian unified the north and separatist in the troubled times, and Qin State was unprecedentedly powerful. Looking at the world, only Jiangdong was outside the territory of Qin State.

Fu Jian had the ambition to unify the world, so he raised more than 900,000 troops, but he returned in the battle of Feishui. The powerful Qin also collapsed. Because there were many people who called "Qin" the country during the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms, in order to distinguish, everyone called this Qin State "Fu Qin".

But the current "Qin" is "Yao Qin", not the same one.

Moreover, since the fall of the Fu Qin Dynasty, the north has fallen into a situation of division and separatism again, with many regimes and chaos. It is extremely difficult to return to the original country.

The story of Tuoba Hanxiang has been told, but Zhang Chi is still shocked.

He was shocking the drama of such an era: Murong Qinru was originally the princess of Yan State, and later became the queen of Dai State. When she saw her, she could guess that her style back then was probably more beautiful than the wine girl he had ever seen. But such a beautiful beauty, who was unable to eat in the war, fell into the south of the Yangtze River with the refugees who fled, and even her own flesh and blood were abandoned in the wilderness.

In troubled times, the princess and queens are like this, let alone the people.

After talking with Hanxiang, Zhang Chi couldn't calm down for a long time, so he walked to the bow of the boat to blow the wind, leaving Hanxiang alone to take care of Santong.

"Why are you in a daze here alone?"

Zhang Chi turned around and saw that it was the wine lady. She was thinking that the wine lady had seen it now, but Zhang Chi suddenly didn't know what to say. "It's nothing, I'll just take a look at the scenery." Zhang Chi said perfunctorily.

The wine lady smiled slightly: "I feel a little bored on the boat, but unfortunately there is no wine. Otherwise, if I cook wine for the young master, I can relieve my boredom."

Unconsciously, the wine lady's heart was already on Zhang Chi anytime and anywhere.

Zhang Chi originally wanted to tell her the life story of the wine lady, but she wanted to say it but stopped. After thinking about it, she decided not to talk about it for the time being. Sometimes it is not necessarily a happy thing to bear national hatred and family hatred. The wine lady suffered from childhood, and Zhang Chi was a little reluctant to worry about these things again.

Just pretend that I don’t know. When I settle down in Shu, I will definitely let the wine girl live a happy and stable life. Zhang Chixin said.

...

Not far from the sea along the coastline, I arrived in Shanyin. During the Jin Dynasty, the Yangtze River entered the sea from here.

In ancient times, the Yangtze River had a wide water surface. There were no barriers along the Yangtze River. It was just that I was riding a small boat. After all, it was not a big ship and the sailing strength was small. Besides, it was still going upstream. Although it took a lot of time to walk faster than the speed.

Fortunately, the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River was picturesque. After traveling like this for nearly a month, Santong was about to take care of her on the boat and her injuries were mostly healed. She continued along the river to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the mountains on both sides gradually became steeper.

The mountains in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are dangerous, the water flows fast, and the ships are moving slowly against the current. Zhang Chi is watching the scenery at the bow of the boat. From afar, he sees a city vaguely on the towering hill on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

After asking a boatman at the ferry along the river, Zhang Chi realized that he had reached the boundary of Badong County in Shu, and the city on the mountain was Yong'an, the county seat of Badong County.

The boatman at the ferry said that Zhang Chi of Badong County was of course unfamiliar, but after hearing the boatman talked about it in detail, Zhang Chi knew about it, the city on the mountain, Yong'an, the county seat of Badong County, and another household name that later generations were well-known: Baidi City.

It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is well-known. Li Bai's poem "Don't leave Baidi in the morning among the colorful clouds, and returns thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day." How many people don't know? Liu Bei's orphans in Baidi City were entrusted here.

According to the boatman, during the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei raised an army to attack the Eastern Wu, and was burned by Lu Xun for 700 miles of Shu camp. After Liu Bei was defeated, he retreated to Baidi City to recuperate and changed Baidi City to Yong'an, which must be the meaning of eternal peace. It's a pity that the wish is always beautiful, but Liu Bei died of illness in the city.

In fact, it was not many years since the Three Kingdoms. At that time, the three-part return to Jin, but the world only had the peace in the early Jin Dynasty for decades. Later, the Five Barbarians invaded China. After the transit of the south, although the Jin court was still on the left and right, there were many wars in Shu.

In contrast, it was during the Shu Han Dynasty that the people in Shu lived a prosperous life, so people naturally missed it. There are many people in their homes who now worship the tablets of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others during the Shu Han Dynasty for generations. Now when talking about the stories since Shu Han, of course, they are as clear as a family.

Seeing the boatman talking, Zhang Chi asked about his current situation in Shu. The boatman sighed: "If you want to talk about the people in Shu, I still miss the Shu Han Dynasty. I heard from the old man that Prime Minister Zhuge had good governance at that time, and the people were not worried about food and clothing. Now it is not possible. There are still many wars in Shu.

After listening to the boatman's detailed discussion, Zhang Chi had some understanding of the geography of Shuzhong.

The lord of Shu was the king of Chengdu, who was in charge of Chengdu and commanded the two prefectures of Yi and Liang. To the north of Shu was Yaoqin, the six counties of Lueyang and Tianshui on the border of Qin and Jin, and there were wars all year round. To the west of Shu was Tugu (tu)gu (yu)hun (hun). Tugu (yu)hun was a minority in the northwest during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the people were strong.

And to the east of Shuzhong is Jingzhou. Jingzhou is Huan Xuan's power, and Jingzhou's strong soldiers are stationed wherever they are stationed. In recent years, the relationship between the court and Jingzhou has been deteriorating. I am afraid that Huan Xuan will send troops to capture Shuzhong at any time.

However, although strong enemies are surrounded by wars, the plains in Shu are fertile for thousands of miles, which is better than other places in the world today, and all refugees often move to Shu.

The territory of Shu was vast. At that time, Du Ximing and Ding Yizhi separated from health. Du Ximing and Ding Yizhi led troops into Shu, while Zhang Chi, Daoxuan and Santong went to Kuaiji County to save the wine girl. Now Zhang Chi knows where Du Ximing and Ding Yizhi are in Shu?

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi decided to go ashore first to inquire.

He asked the fleet to dock on the riverside, and Zhang Chi asked them not to go ashore to disturb the people. Then he rode Baixue and rushed to Yong'an all the way.

When the two of them left the ferry, they walked along Guan Road. Yong'an City was built on the mountain. Although the straight line was very close, they could be far away from the mountain road.

Halfway through the way, the two of them immediately heard the sound of swords fighting in the valley ahead. It was obvious that someone was fighting.

Zhang Chi was curious, so he led the horse with Daoxuan and looked over, protruding his head around the corner of the mountain road.

There were not many people fighting. A masked woman was being slapped by a small team of officials in the middle. It seemed that these officials wanted to capture the woman. The masked woman was obviously not weak in martial arts. She held a three-foot green breeze in her hand and obviously refused to surrender. She was fighting fiercely.

"Brother Zhang, do you want me to help?" Daoxuan asked in a low voice.

Zhang Chi subconsciously said: "Help? Who are you going to help?"

"Of course I'm helping the woman surrounded by the official army." Daoxuan felt that this was a matter of course.

"Do you know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy?"

After Zhang Chi asked this, Daoxuan was really stunned. In his impression, the government army was all bad people, and the one surrounded by the government army must be good people.

In fact, Daoxuan didn’t know why he thought so. Maybe he had already had a fixed mindset. In that era, the government army did not do good things, and others were used to it. When they saw the government army, they first felt that they must be bad people.

However, the first intuition may not be accurate sometimes, so Zhang Chi decided to wait and see first.

But after a while, Zhang Chi said again: "You should go and help the masked woman."

Daoxuan felt strange. Did Brother Zhang tell who was the good guy and the bad guy so quickly? They didn't write on their faces. Daoxuan was puzzled, but Daoxuan was humble and asked if he didn't understand.

"Stupid," Zhang Chi replied, "I can't tell who is a good person or a bad person. If those officials are a bad person, of course they have to help the masked woman. But if those officials are a good person, they will be killed by that woman after a while."

It's true that the woman had great martial arts skills. The most important thing is that she was ruthless and had no mercy on her moves. She showed no mercy. More than 20 government troops could not do anything to her. Instead, the government troops fell to the ground one by one and couldn't stand it. According to this posture, it won't take long for these government troops to be killed by this masked woman.

Daoxuan listened to Zhang Chi's words the most. Since Zhang Chi gave the order, Daoxuan jumped out and ran closer, without saying a word.

Those official troops could not defeat any of them, not to mention that there is another master now.

Fortunately, Dao Xuan was very cautious in his actions. In fact, he was originally a Buddhist. Unless the other party did too much, he would not kill him. Zhang Chi asked Dao Xuan to come out to help the woman, but from another perspective, he also helped those official troops. Dao Xuan's moves opened and closed, which seemed fierce but actually did not hurt anyone's life. The woman's martial arts were all performed on a small scale, but her moves were all hurting people's vital points.

It is better to be defeated by Daoxuan than to die under the sword of the masked woman.

The ordinary official army could not see it, but after a few rounds, the people who were beaten to the ground by Daoxuan rolled back and crawled back. The masked woman was beaten to the ground by the dead. The general who led the lead also saw some clues, called the soldiers to stop, then clasped his fists to Daoxuan and said, "Hero, listen to me."

When Daoxuan saw that the other party stopped, he couldn't fight again.

The other general said again: "I am a side general under the command of the prefect of Badong County. I am ordered to capture the thief. A hero, you are very skilled in martial arts and kind-hearted, not like a bandit, but why should you save this female flying thief?"

Daoxuan muttered in his heart: I am saving you, how can I save me if I have great martial arts skills?

However, Daoxuan just muttered in his heart and didn't say it, otherwise the words would have been too damaging to people. "Anyway, you can't catch people, so why don't you stop, save your life and summon more people and catch them next time." Daoxuan said.

Those officials were unusual, fearing death. How could they easily give up after several brothers died? Just as they were about to go again, the general knew that the other two masters could not beat them no matter how hard they fought. It would be better to retain their strength and shouted: "Don't fight."

The military orders were as high as a mountain, and the general ordered that no one of these soldiers dared to come forward again.

If Daoxuan had such martial arts, the female thief would definitely be captured if he helped him, but Daoxuan helped the other party, which made the general feel regretful. However, he did not hate Daoxuan. After all, he could not catch the female thief, and instead damaged several soldiers. Daoxuan took mercy and, after all, let the rest of him escape unscathed.

The man clasped his fists at Dao Xuan: "I respect the hero with great martial arts and chivalrous hearts, but I also advise the hero to distinguish right from wrong and not help the thief do evil."

The masked woman stood there with her eyes cold and she didn't say a word of thanks to Daoxuan.

It was not until the officials walked away that Zhang Chi took the horse out of the woods. Zhang Chi looked at the woman, and the woman looked over, her eyes facing each other. Before Zhang Chi could speak, the masked woman's eyes suddenly became cold and she suddenly held up a sword in her hand, and her three-foot-green bristle pierced Zhang Chi's throat.

Even Daoxuan was shocked at this moment. Why is this woman unreasonable? She just acted and didn't even say hello.

Of course, Daoxuan couldn't let her kill Zhang Chi, so he jumped up in the air, like a flying eagle rushing to eat and blocked Zhang Chi.

The masked woman saw Daoxuan blocking in front of her, and she showed no mercy. She "swish swish swish" three swords, and the sword was inseparable from Daoxuan's vital points.

When it comes to martial arts, Daoxuan's martial arts are not weak, but Daoxuan's martial arts emphasize knocking down people, while the masked woman's martial arts are to take the name of someone and fight to the death. The battle between life and death is of course the latter has an advantage. Moreover, the woman has a long sword in her hand, but Daoxuan is empty-handed.

After a few moves, Daoxuan could only defend himself. Finally, he found a gap and then jumped a few steps, shouting: "Why are you unreasonable? It would be fine if I help you, you don't thank me. Why are you still fighting with us now?"

"I didn't ask you to help. Even if I want to thank you, it should be the officials who thank you." The masked woman replied coldly.

This is true, Daoxuan is speechless.

"Then why do you want to kill me?" Zhang Chi asked curiously.

"Where did you steal this horse?" the masked woman asked harshly.
