As the saying goes, good things don¡¯t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. It didn¡¯t take long for people in Huangzhou City to spread the news that the man living in the southwest corner of the city was very cowardly.
The man who only knows his surname Chen, but doesn¡¯t know what his name is.
What¡¯s even more shocking is that this cowardly man actually married such a beautiful woman
"Ah, ah, ah, thanks to Auntie Chen's family this time, otherwise, that little kid from the street next door, Wang San, would definitely not be able to marry such a virtuous girl"
One morning, Aunt Li, who was facing the street, came to Chen Ran's house to visit again. She was very grateful to Tang Xiner. After all, Tang Xiner had helped her a lot.
This middle-aged woman named Aunt Li, whose husband died in the war in her early years, took her young children to seek refuge with relatives in Huangzhou about five or six years ago to arrange marriages for the younger generation. Living by extracting gifts from them can be said to be a type of person engaged in the profession of matchmaker.
Recently, this Aunt Li received a large sum of money from Wang San from the next street to arrange a marriage for his son. Although everything went smoothly before, in the end, the girl's family wanted to have a more decent wedding. .
Generally speaking, women in the Han Dynasty were better at female prostitutes. For example, Tang Xiner, when she married Chen Chang in Yingchuan, she wore a wedding dress she had sewn by herself. Of course, occasionally she was not good at it. After all, in addition to personal talents, female celebrities also need someone to teach them. At least Zhang Susu doesn't know how to do it. And the daughter-in-law of Wang San from the next street is obviously not very good at it either.
Therefore, Aunt Li, who had a good relationship with Tang Xiner, immediately came to ask Tang Xiner for help. Tang Xiner was a woman with a gentle personality, so of course she would not refuse outright. After all, when Chen Chang and Tang Xiner were faced with life difficulties the year before, they also asked Li for help. Aunt introduced the job.
In fact, because Tang Xiner is beautiful, has a gentle personality, and has mastered the skills of female celebrities, she has a relatively harmonious relationship with the neighbors around her. You must know that in this era, the relationship between neighbors and neighbors , even more important than friends. After all, friends are not always together, and no one in the neighborhood or neighbors can guarantee that they will need help from others, right?
Of course, Aunt Li didn't ask Tang Xiner to do her best in vain. She also allocated part of the gift to Tang Xiner. After all, although the relationship between the two was good, the accounts still had to be settled. As the saying goes, brothers should also settle accounts clearly. What?
"What did Aunt Li say I will never forget Aunt Li's kindness in taking care of me and my wife in the past two years. If there is anything I can do in the future, as long as Aunt Li doesn't mind it, even if Open your mouth"
"Auntie Chen's family is so kind" Aunt Li couldn't help but smile from ear to ear as she listened, and said with a smile on her face, "I don't dare to take it as a kindness. No one in the neighborhood can be sure that something will happen" As she said, She seemed to have remembered something, and secretly glanced into the courtyard, and whispered, "Auntie Chen, your family"
¡°Perhaps seeing through the other person¡¯s thoughts, Tang Xiner smiled slightly and said, ¡°He went hunting in the mountains early this morning and will probably not come back until noon. Is Aunt Li busy?¡±
"That's not true," Aunt Li waved her hand, then looked at Tang Xiner's beautiful face, and sighed, "Auntie Chen's family is also a miserable person, your family is so poor, alas" As she said that, she suddenly seemed to wake up. What? He looked at Tang Xiner awkwardly and apologetically.
Tang Xiner is very clear about the implication of Aunt Li's words. As the saying goes, good things never go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. In Huangzhou City, many people know about the cowardice of the Chen family men
Is it really cowardly?
??????????? A general who fights on the battlefield with dignity, a peerless general whose hands are stained with the blood of tens of thousands of people, are they really afraid of those ruffians in the city?
Tang Xiner smiled lightly and did not explain.
Although the nearby residents had some misunderstandings about her husband, in her opinion, it was obviously nothing. On the contrary, she was quite happy and appreciative of her husband's changes. At the same time, she swore to her husband that he would never set foot in troubled times again. An Xin and her promise to live in seclusion here added a little more confidence.
Tolerance, this is not something that can be achieved simply, especially for my husband who is used to being aloof, but now, he can show weakness in order to calm down the war. Isn't this a strong state of mind? ?
From Tang Xiner's point of view, even though he has the power to easily deal with the other party, but he takes the initiative to show weakness, that is not a sign of cowardice, but tolerance and consideration. After all, with Chen Suan's strength, even if he can deal with those ruffians, what's the point? Something to be proud of?
? ???I know that in the battle at Wu Meilin near Wuchao, Chen Suan defeated one hundred thousand people and killed nearly 20,000 people. The remaining 80,000 people were frightened and terrified. The strength he showed at that time was obviously beyond the limit. He has reached the realm of ten thousand enemies.
It¡¯s the God of War!
And with the strength of the God of War, is there really any point in dealing with a few ruffians who don't even know what Qi is?
Ah, it doesn¡¯t make any sense!
On the contrary, exposing this power will lead to a series of things, and even, in the end, you will be forced to leave Huangzhou where you have lived for three years. In comparison, this is a bit not worth it.
Of course, Tang Xiner obviously does not intend to explain these considerations to Aunt Li. Firstly, it is not necessary, and secondly
My husband¡¯s reputation is too loud
"Auntie Chen, I will leave now. If there is any trouble in the future, I will ask for your help"
"What's wrong with Aunt Li's words Aunt Li, walk slowly!"
"Hey!" After waving her hand, Aunt Li walked away on the street.
Looking at her leaving figure, Tang Xiner shook her head slightly, walked back into the house, and started to take care of the cleaning of the house. This was something she often did when she had nothing to do, although she had called her this distinguished person a few times at first. The old princess was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but as the days passed, she gradually began to get used to this poor but warm life.
What comforts Tang Xiner the most is that her husband seems to have gradually become accustomed to this kind of life. The only regret is that the vigilance and instinct left by her husband's several trips to the battlefield have never been completely eliminated. .
Especially the reaction to blood
Tang Xiner's concerns are undoubtedly accurate. Even today, far away from the battlefield, Chen Ran still retains all the habits from the past. However, this is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the excessive hostility in him has finally disappeared. There are beginning to be signs of backlash
In fact, Hua Tuo had already mentioned these things to Chen Chang when he first met him.
Seven years ago, Hua Tuo told Chen Ran that the hostility of a warrior is a double-edged sword. Although the intensity of hostility determines the strength of a warrior to some extent, excessive hostility can lead to In turn, it affects itself.
However, at that time, Chen Ran didn't care much because he couldn't imagine what kind of impact that violence as a force would have on his spirit. Until now
Three years ago, the battle at Wu Meilin near Wuchao was almost a life-and-death battle. Chen, who was extremely focused at that time, suddenly stepped into the realm of the Martial God. With the incredible power of the Greedy Wolf Spirit, he set a new record. Such an incredible legend.
This move, which combines the Dance of Ganqi and Shukuchi, is also extremely powerful. It was with this move that Chen Suan was able to survive the lifeless battlefield, but he also paid a heavy price. price.
According to Hua Tuo¡¯s diagnosis, most of the muscles and meridians in Chen Suan¡¯s body were almost broken. It¡¯s no wonder, after all, that is the fastest speed of Greedy Wolf. How can a mere human being withstand such a fast speed?
The battle with Wu Meilin made Chen Suo promoted from a ten thousand enemy to a god of war, but at the same time it also completely ruined Chen Suo's potential as a military general. Due to the damage to his meridians, Chen Suo's body would show signs of trembling from time to time, especially It's the limbs, and this is obviously fatal to a martial artist.
If the Battle of Wu Meilin was Chen Ran's heyday, then now, what he still retains is only five or six points. What's worse is that because the elixir in his body has exhausted its power, his body has begun to There are obvious signs of aging. In other words, even if it is only five or six times as powerful as it was in its heyday, it may not be able to maintain it for a long time.
Just as Hua Tuo said back then, Chen Suan sacrificed at least fifty years of life to gain the power of nearly ten thousand enemies. In just four or five years, Chen suddenly became one of the few martial gods in the world. Super strong general, however, only has one day
Only one day of the martial arts gods, and then even thousands of enemies could not reach. This is Chen Yan today. This is the bitter fruit that he had used elixir to stimulate his power
Of course, Chen Ran has never regretted all this. After all, it is useless to regret it now. At least, he has finally reached his original ideal and spent his life peacefully with the person he loves most. Although this It's really too late to come here in one day
Thinking of this, Chen suddenly sighed secretly and walked into the gate of Huangzhou City carrying a large basket of firewood and a deer from hunting on his shoulder.
From a distance, he saw a group of local people gathering in front of the notice and sighing.
"Alas, Xiang??The recruitment is going on again"
"Have you not heard that Liu Jingzhou once again beat away the envoy sent by Cao Mengde with a stick? Now Jingzhou may be in trouble"
"Who says it's not? Then Cao Mengde defeated that Yuan, Yuan, what Oh, Yuan Shao, right now, that Cao Mengde occupies seven states, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, How can Lord Liu Jingsheng defeat Cao Mengde's troops from seven states with Jingzhou alone Sigh!" As he spoke, the old man who spoke shook his head and sighed.
"What's so surprising," a Confucian scholar who seemed to have some knowledge said disdainfully, "didn't Cao Mengde send a general named Zhang Liao to conquer Youzhou last year? He killed all the sons of Yuan Shao. We also completely drove the foreign tribes like Xianbei and Wuwan out of my Han territory. Now that Cao Mengde has completely wiped out the north, why not attack Jingzhou?"
Zhang Liao
Listening to the discussions of the people, Chen suddenly walked past the notice in silence.
Should we say that after seeing each other for three days, we should look at each other with admiration?
The gatekeeper who followed him back then, the boy who was suddenly older and younger than him, finally became a general with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands
Chen suddenly smiled bitterly.
It is both a congratulation to Zhang Liao and a self-deprecation for myself.
But to be honest, Chen Ran was not surprised by this. After all, Zhang Liao was the most talented person in martial arts he had ever seen. He was more talented than Chen Ran and even Lu Bu. Therefore, even if Chen Su would not be surprised that one day Zhang Liao would become the God of War.
¡°You did a good job, Wenyuan¡¡±
Chen Suan secretly approved in his heart, but vaguely, he felt a little sad in his heart
Suddenly, just as Chen Suan was about to walk home with a sad look on his face, a word from the people next to him made him stop in his tracks.
"What do you know? The person who sent the envoy to Xiangyang this time was not Cao Mengde, but a woman named Zhang Susu"
Zhang Susu
Suddenly, Chen was startled. He subconsciously stopped and looked at the person who spoke.
It was a businessman who looked to be in his thirties and was dressed very gorgeously. He was raising his head and saying arrogantly to the people who looked puzzled, "I, Li Mao, have been traveling all over the country for these years, and I don't know anything." ?Now in Xudu, it is not Cao Mengde who is the prime minister, but the woman named Zhang Susu About a year ago, when I went to Xudu, there was a riot in the city. Two soldiers and horses were fighting to the death in the city. Later I heard that Cao Mengde suffered from a headache and was in unbearable pain every day. I don¡¯t know who suggested that the state affairs should be handed over to that woman named Zhang Susu I don¡¯t know who suggested it, and he asked a woman to take charge of it. power¡¡"
"What happened next? What happened next?" the people nearby asked repeatedly.
The merchant smiled proudly, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Later? Didn't there start a fight later? The generals of Cao Mengde's line and the generals of the woman named Zhang Susu fought to the death. I heard that Xiahou Dun of Qingzhou, Xiahou Yuan of Runan, Cao Ren of Yingchuan, and Cao Hong of Chenliu all sent troops to attack Xudu one after another"
"How is the result?"
"The result?" The merchant sighed slightly and said with a smile, "The result is that Zhang Susu transferred back to Hanoi's Zhang Jia, Jizhou's Gao Lan, Taishan's Zhang Liao, and many other generals of the Qingzhou Army. There was a battle with Cao Mengde's generals outside the capital"
"Who won?" Many people asked, stretching their necks.
"Who won?" The merchant sneered, looked at the people around him and said in a deep voice, "Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals under Cao Mengde were successively convicted and demoted. Who do you think won? - Later, in order to prevent the matter from getting bigger, Shangshu Xun persuaded him personally, and then he retained the official positions of those generals" As he said, he paused, looked at the bulletin board and said, "So, it is not Cao Mengde who sent him this time. The envoy is the woman named Zhang Susu. I heard that this woman was ruthless and angered her. That is not a fun thing. Jingzhou will inevitably enter the flames of war"
"Ah?" When the nearby people heard this, they suddenly showed panic. It's no wonder. After all, for these peaceful people, war is a more terrifying disaster than natural disasters.
During the sighing discussions nearby, Chen Yan worked silently and had to say that his mood at this moment was very complicated.
she¡¡
Have you finally reached this point?
In fact, as early as many years ago in Chang'an, Chen Su saw the signs of Zhang Susu's plan to occupy Chang'an and control the court.??
¡°For some reason, Zhang Susu¡¯s desire for power is even stronger than that of ordinary men. She seems eager to stand at the top of power and take a look at the scenery there.
[One day Xiao Su will be the emperor and Su Su will be the empress and control tens of millions of people in the world, wouldn't it be good? ]
To this day, Chen Ran still remembers what Zhang Susu said to him back then. It was precisely because of those words that Chen Ran discovered for the first time that he actually did not understand this woman.
Is it just to complete the unfinished business for his father and uncle, or is he simply eager to gain the right to dominate the world? Chen Su doesn't know. As time goes by, he finds that he understands less and less what Zhang Susu is thinking. .
What on earth does she want to do?
Thinking of this, Chen suddenly frowned, but then he felt relieved again.
What does she want to do have to do with herself?
[From now on, I have nothing to do with you! ]
She has obviously said that, no matter what she wants to do, it has nothing to do with her
Yes, what does it matter?
What I have to consider right now is just how to support my beloved wife at home so that she won¡¯t have to work too hard. The rest
It has nothing to do with you!
"boom!"
Just when Chen Ran made up his mind secretly, suddenly, someone seemed to bump into him, and then he fell to the ground.
Well?
Chen suddenly frowned when he came to his senses, because he saw that the person he knocked down and fell to the ground turned out to be an officer and soldier wearing military uniforms.
This person looked to be about 23 or 24 years old, about the same age as Zhang Liao. He looked powerful, but he didn't seem to have learned Qi yet. Therefore, he was accidentally bumped by Chen Ran and was knocked down all of a sudden. , slumped to the ground.
Oops¡¡
Looking at the shock in the other party's eyes, Chen suddenly secretly screamed that something was wrong.
You must know that before this, Chen Ran had been hiding his anger to avoid being noticed by others, but how could he hide the strength of his body? At best, you can only try to avoid collisions with others.
But what he never expected was that just when he heard about Zhang Susu and became confused, he accidentally knocked down an officer and soldier. This
"A civilian actually knocked a well-trained officer and soldier to the ground in one fell swoop, and even himself was not injured at all. This is obviously unrealistic.
For a moment, Chen Ran could not help but shed a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
At this moment, the officer and soldier who was knocked to the ground suddenly blushed, stood up with a loud bang, grabbed Chen Suan's collar, and angrily scolded, "You bastard, you can't walk long." Eyes!" As he said that, he seemed to recognize Chen Su, slowly let go of his hand, and said in surprise, "I remember you, your boy you were bumped into by those gangsters in the city a few days ago, right?"
"Well, right" After hesitating for a moment, Chen suddenly lowered his head and said.
The officer and soldier looked Chen Ran up and down, frowned and said, "I see you are quite strong, so why are you being threatened by those ruffians? What a fucking coward! - If those bastards come to cause trouble again in the future , you can resist, I won¡¯t get the chance to teach those boys a lesson!¡±
"Uh, thank you sir, what do you call me sir?"
I saw the officer and soldier patting his chest and saying, "My name is Wei Yan, and this area of ??Huangzhou is under my control!" As he said that, he carried the machete on his waist and continued to patrol.
Looking at his leaving figure, Chen suddenly let out a long breath.
Fortunately, he is a reckless man who is not very good at thinking
so far so good¡¡
Thinking of this, Chen suddenly turned his head and was about to go home. Suddenly, an officer and soldier also carrying a sword came up in front of him. He was a veteran who looked to be forty or fifty years old.
As the veteran chuckled, Chen suddenly passed by the man.
At that moment when they passed each other, as if being stimulated by some kind of stimulus, Chen Ran's expression changed slightly and he couldn't help but clenched his fists. The veteran, with a solemn expression on his face, subconsciously extended his hand to The weapon on the waist.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are such people in a small place like Huangzhou
