Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 31 An Neng Distinguishes My Male and Female

Guan Ziyang didn't hesitate, he controlled the urge to look for the black slave's mother in the alley, and drove the ox cart out of the city, when he heard someone shouting behind him as soon as he left the city gate.

"The Patriarch of the Zhang family has ordered that teenagers under the age of 20 are not allowed to leave the city!"

At this moment in the bamboo garden of He Mansion, Yu Suzhi said to He Zhun in a low voice: "Brother Zhun, you can see that the child is somewhat similar to the three princesses mentioned in the letter."

He Zhun stroked his beard, and said in a low voice: "Lu Family Sword, Gu Family Sword, the two kings' bows are unparalleled in the world; Huan Family Boxing, Xie Family Legs, Sima Royal Palm all directions..."

Yu Suzhi nodded and said: "Children around the age of 13 can understand the profound meaning of martial arts at this age. I think that except for the Sima Royal Family, it is impossible for ordinary people to cultivate such a genius!"

He Zhun said again: "Su Wen, the third princess, liked to wear men's clothes when she was in Jiankang. She pretended to be a man and went out to play, and she was about the same age. The child was very handsome, and she didn't want to reveal her family background..."

"That child must be the third princess disguised as a man! The third princess sneaked out of the palace and is going to Luofu Mountain to learn the art of alchemy."

"The Empress Dowager Chu knew that ordinary people would not be able to invite the third princess, so she secretly sent a letter to the county magistrates, eunuchs, and county magistrates along the way who found the third princess, and immediately secretly protected her and escorted her to Luofu Mountain."

"The Empress Dowager under Luofu Mountain has sent someone to welcome him back to Jiankang."

"That's it, Taishou Yu, send someone to follow up immediately. The third princess is the Queen Mother Chu's favorite child. If something happens to him in our eastern Hunan border, I'm afraid you will be in danger." He Zhun said.

"Okay, I'll follow up personally. Please ask Brother Zhun to take care of Zhang's son's affairs. Don't offend Zhang's family. Of course, don't tell them that it was the third princess who hurt Zhang's son. Empress Dowager Chu passed on a secret edict!"

After Yu Suzhi finished speaking, he left quickly.

Everyone in Zhuyuan was busy checking Zhang Dabiao's injuries, analyzing Guan Ziyang's martial arts skills, and discussing who he was, but no one noticed that Prefect Yu had quietly left.

Xiangdong County, Zhang Mansion.

"Who hurt Da Biao, dare to bully my Zhang family in the eastern Hunan, I'm really impatient!" A majestic middle-aged man roared.

"Patriarch, Young Master Biao was sent by He Shirong. You were not there at that time, and he only told me that he was accidentally injured while talking with his classmates." Another man replied.

"Talk? Accidental injury? It's just nonsense. Da Biao entered the shouzhuo state at the age of 8, the Ruoyu state at the age of 10, and the fighting force state at the age of 15. Now at the age of 17, he has faintly touched the threshold of the Xiaoqiao state."

"Since I have been taking powder once a month since I was a child, my internal strength is far superior to that of my peers. I really can't think of anyone in Xiangdong Academy who can hurt my son Da Biao!" said the middle-aged man.

"He Shirong said he was a student from another place, about thirteen or fourteen years old!"

"Thirteen or fourteen years old? Where is he from and what's his last name?"

"He Shirong said that the kid refused to disclose his family background, and he had already left the He Mansion at this time, saying that he was heading towards Guangzhou."

"He dared to let the person who hurt my son leave easily. Old man He Shirong, I will come back to deal with him after I catch that kid! Don't even think about doing business in Eastern Hunan in the future. Prepare the horse. I will catch that kid and bring him back!"

"Patriarch... there is one more thing..."

"What are you talking about?"

"He Shirong also said that Lord He Zhun, the principal of Xiangdong Academy, asked him to tell the patriarch not to provoke trouble. The young master was indeed accidentally injured!"

"Hmph! After so many years in my Zhang family, I finally had a genius like my son Da Biao. Now his right leg bone is broken, and he may be disabled for life."

"Let me not pick quarrels and cause trouble. What is he? A person who prays to gods and worships Buddha all day long. Even if the county guard Yu Suzhi comes to the door in person, my Zhang family may not need to give him face! Call some good men and prepare horses!"

"Yes, patriarch!"

Zhang Yu, the head of the Zhang family, led several family masters, and chased them along the official road to Guangzhou on fast horses.

As soon as it was dawn, the Zhang family and their party quickly caught up with an ox cart.

"Who is in the car, come down and ask questions" Zhang Yu shouted.

One person opened the curtain of the ox cart, only to see a head with eyebrows like distant mountains, phoenix eyes full of affection, and a snow-white melon-seeded face without makeup, but it was also a little whiter than the powdered man in Xiangdong Academy.

He looked at the crowd with sleepy eyes: "Who is it, the noise in the early morning makes people sleep soberly! It's so rude."

The driver sitting at the front of the car was wearing a bamboo hat and lowered his head so he couldn't see his face clearly. He said calmly, "Young master, wait a moment, I will send them away."

A person next to Zhang Yu said to him in a low voice: "Patriarch, I heard people say that Master Biao was injured at the hands of a handsome young man, probably the young man in the bullock cart."

Zhang Yu asked again: "You guys came from Xiangdong County, who is the boy in the car!" His tone was very bad.

The coachman took off his bamboo hat, it turned out to be an old man with gray hair, he said calmly: "Who is he, you bastards are not worthy to ask."

Zhang's family was originally a noble family in the north, and it has only been a few decades since they traveled to the south, so they still speak with a little northern accent, which was recognized by the old man.

The southerners in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the northerners who crossed the south earlier called those who had just crossed the south as 漧子 (meaning vulgar and mediocre, which is different from the official history, so there is no need to match the name), which is a very disrespectful name.

The Zhang family is already huge. It has been operating in eastern Hunan for decades, and it has become the number one gentry in eastern Hunan. Today, someone dared to call him a scorpion. Zhang Yu was furious, and said, "I think you are tired of working." !"

After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Catch him for me."

After receiving the patriarch's order, the others got off their horses and went directly to the ox cart.

The old man in the bamboo hat shook the whip for driving the bullock cart in his hand, and the whip was tied directly to his wrist. As soon as the old man used his strength, the man was thrown into the mud. He rushed over.

The old man threw out a few more whips, and each time the whip would be wrapped around a person's wrist, ankle or neck, within a few breaths, everyone in the Zhang family fell to the ground except Zhang Yu who hadn't dismounted.

Zhang Yu scolded angrily: "A bunch of useless things."

After speaking, he kicked his legs hard on the horse's belly, and the horse fell to the ground instantly after being kicked by him (there were no stirrups at this time). Tore the trousers!

The old man smiled contemptuously when he saw it, and said: "It turned out to be the Nandun Zhang family in Runan. Why, the Zhang family in Wu County confiscated you, and you came to Xiangdong County to do your best?"

When Zhang Yuzu went to Nandu, he first came to join the Zhang family in Wu County. Unexpectedly, the Zhang family in Wu County did not take them in at all. In the end, the Zhang family had to continue to migrate eastward, and came to settle in Xiangdong County, Jingzhou. After all, this incident also became the laughing stock of the world at the time. "

This matter touched the sore spot of the Zhang family, Zhang Yu raised his inner strength again in the air, and kicked the old man angrily.

The old man didn't panic, he struck out with his right palm and hit the sole of Zhang Yu's foot. Zhang Yu suddenly felt a huge force coming from the sole of his foot, and he flew backwards.

As soon as Zhang Yu landed, he found that his right leg was numb. Just now, he had hit with all his strength, and the old man took it easily, knowing in his heart that the opponent's strength was far superior to his.

Zhang Yu didn't hesitate, got on his horse, and shouted 'Get out', and the rest of the people who had just been injured and fell to the ground slowly got up and left in a hurry, just as they came and went in a hurry.

After the Zhang family left, the old man came to the ox cart and said in a low voice: "Third princess, the old slave has already sent them away. They are the Zhang family from Xiangdong County. They probably didn't come here for you, the princess. Maybe they just made a mistake. People, the old slave made his own decisions and let them go."

The person in the bullock cart said calmly: "Let's go, let's go, Mr. Qiu, hurry up, Luofu Mountain recruits new disciples for a few days, we have to go there as soon as possible!"
