Beyond the southeast of Datang, there is the vast sea. Far away, there are a few small islands scattered around. In this foreign country, in a remote land, there should have been some unruly barbarians and uncivilized natives, but the people on these islands, in addition to food, dress etiquette, manners, words and deeds are not much different from Middle-earth.

In the far northwest of these small islands is one of the larger ones, and the customs of Li Tang are especially strong here. If men do not go to the sea, they mostly wear round-necked robes, and women mostly wear short shirts and skirts. This island has a name called "Xiaolongsu Island", and the owner of the island is surnamed Han, and his surname is Zhang Sigui. This Zhang family has been the owner of "Little Dragon Whisker Island" for generations, and the family has martial arts that have been passed down from generation to generation, which is unfathomable. There are also many strong ships and sharp weapons on the island, so all the neighboring islands have submitted to it for a hundred years. But when it comes to Zhang Sigui's children's generation, the Zhang family has only one daughter.

There are many exquisite houses and fortified castles on this "Little Dragon Whisker Island", and soldiers are stationed on the seashore outside the city, just like the Han family city. The place where the owner of the island lived, in the middle of the island, where the high pavilion of stone and wood was three stories high.

The one on the right side of the top floor is slightly different from the other rooms. This room is very delicately decorated, with hollow windows carved into the shape of Luan Feng, and covered with green veil, like a woman's boudoir. It's just that in this woman's boudoir, there is no green and purple belt, rouge and gouache, even the mirror is not the diamond glass, and the pillow is not the embroidered pillow. Not only that, but there was a painted bow hanging on the bare wall, and a treasure knife hanging from it. Even the women in this boudoir don't use powder, with long eyebrows and silkworms, and Qiong nose clotted fat, but they have a unique natural charm. This woman is about twenty years old, tall, with shaved shoulders and a thin waist, because she is wearing compact clothes and pants, in addition to a heroic spirit, it also sets off her flesh and bones posture is very slim.

She was sitting alone on a cedar chair at the moment and muttered to herself, her voice with a bit of grievance: "How can I be willing to be a little lady to be married here? Even if I can't serve in the army for my father like Mulan, it's also great to be a Nie Yinniang with unique skills." ”

The woman was still stunned, when footsteps sounded outside the door, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl dressed as a maid pushed the door and said urgently: "Miss Shujing, it's not good, the Chen family has come to greet her!"

When the woman heard this, she reprimanded: "Quiver, how many times have you said it, don't call me Miss Shujing, don't call me Miss Shujing, call me the Wind and Dust Woman!"

The maid was originally called "holding the inkstone", and the owner of Zhang Island originally hoped that his daughter could be a daughter who was knowledgeable and proficient in poetry and painting, but who expected that she did not love pen and ink and love bow horses, just as "bending the bow to fight as a man, and once with the thrush in his dreams". also changed her name to "Zhang Fengchen" without permission, and even changed the name of her personal maid, and boasted: "The ancients had a wise tank, and I had an arrow bag. ”

The maid, who was called an arrow bag, had no choice but to change her words: "That...... Dust Woman, what now?"

Zhang Fengchen snorted: "This damn bastard of the Chen family, he wants to marry me just because his father knows my father, it's really a dream!"

This quiver has grown up with her since she was a child, and she is like a sister, but she is also unwilling: "But the owner of the island has already accepted this family business, and even accepted the dowry." Alas, I'm afraid you'll have to marry far away to Middle-earth today. ”

Zhang Fengchen already had a plan in his heart, and said: "I don't care about these women, I just want to go to the rivers and lakes and be a ranger." It's okay, it's okay, just take advantage of his Chen family's big ship to give me a ride!"

Quiver said worriedly: "The Wind and Dust Woman has promised to marry far away?"

Zhang Fengchen smiled evilly: "Yes, it's just that when we get to Middle-earth, we have to escape from the Chen family again." ”

Hearing this, the quiver shudre: "Ah......! Am I going too?"

Zhang Fengchen looked sideways and said: "You are my maid to marry, of course you are going, do you let me fall into the tiger's den alone?"

The quiver knew her temper and didn't dare to talk back.

At this time, there was already a gong and drum beating outside the house, and there was a trend of marriage. I only heard a male voice chanting "hypnotic poem", and the majestic internal force in the voice collapsed, overwhelming the noise, and clearly resounded throughout the island: "It is rumored that the candle is lowered to red powder, don't make spring in front of the mirror." You don't need to be covered with makeup, but you have to wait for the painting with your eyebrows. ”

After hearing this, he hurriedly helped Zhang Fengchen put on makeup, put on the wedding dress that had been prepared, and then packed up his clothes, fortunately, there was no need for jewelry, pearls and jade. Zhang Fengchen is dressed in a red wedding dress, coupled with a phoenix crown and a xiaxia veil, which reveals her charming charm.

Zhang Fengchen is going to marry the second son of the Chen family in Wenzhou, Jiangnan Province, and it is said that he is also a young talent with both civil and military skills. This time alone, I brought more than ten clippers and more than 100 strong men, which was full of style. "Little Dragon Whisker Island" is to devote all the material resources of an island to bid farewell to the owner's daughter.

When the welcoming fleet went to sea, Zhang Fengchen said happily in his heart: "Usually, the sea of this 'Little Dragon Whisker Island' is strictly forbidden, and it is very difficult to go to sea, but I didn't expect to go out so easily today!"

Zhang Fengchen is young and inexperienced in the world, only thinking about wandering at sea, although he is married far away, he does not mean to be sad in autumn and spring. She didn't know that this marriage might not be able to see her parents again for the rest of her life.

After Zhang Sigui said goodbye to his daughter, he looked at the clippers heading to the northwest, endured reluctance, felt endless loneliness, and sighed: "The Zhang family has been displaced overseas for more than 200 years. My children have always missed their homeland all my life, and marrying Shujing back to the Tang Dynasty today can be regarded as a regret that my ancestors cannot return to their hometown. It's just that it hurts her. ”

From "Xiaolongsu Island" to Datang Wenzhou, there are thousands of miles to say the least. Fortunately, the Chen family has strong financial resources, and these more than ten ships are all "thousand-mile ships" that have been well-restructured.

This "thousand-mile ship" was the first creation of Nanqi Zuchong. Zu Chongzhi has excellent intelligence and is good at making equipment, he imitated the wooden ox and flowing horse created by Zhuge Liang, and built this fast boat on the river. After several hundred years of improvement, the ships are equipped with sails, and the strength of the wind and the strength of the equipment are one, and with the help of this long southeast wind, they can sail six or seven hundred miles in one day and one night!

It was only when they got off the boat to change the sedan chair that the Chen family found that there was only a quiver and a maid in the boat, and there was no trace of the bride Zhang Fengchen.

Zhang Fengchen has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, her hands and feet are fast, and her light skills are extraordinary, and the Chen family has no one to guard against, so she escaped easily. Now that she has been running away from marriage for more than a month, since she went to Middle-earth, what she heard most about was the rebellion of Wang Xianzhi and Shang Junchang. Although Zhang Fengchen said that he wanted to explore the rivers and lakes, he didn't know where to go, and said in his heart: "Since that Shangjun is a long-rounded scholar and military all-rounder, and has a good demeanor, it is better to go and see him." ”

She first arrived in Middle-earth, and she lived both on earth and on earth. Fortunately, she was entangled enough, so she rode on a boat, searched the south and the north along the way, and barely reached the Central Plains.

Zhang Fengchen went around several times, and finally lingered near Puzhou, but it was already May. She saw that there were often groups of people or dozens of people in the rivers and lakes here, and she secretly wondered in her heart: "The Central Plains is different from other places, and martial arts masters can be seen everywhere." She was thinking about how to go to Juancheng to find Shang Junchang, but she saw the same wanted notices in the surrounding states and counties one after another. This notice was not posted by the imperial court, nor was it laid down by the grass army, but it was a Manichaean bounty.

Zhang Fengchen carefully read the above text, and hesitated in his heart: "Isn't this Manichaeism far away in the Kunlun Mountains in the west, how can it arrest people in the Central Plains states? Oh, it should be that person fled to the Central Plains, and Manichaeism has sent many masters to chase after him." ”

Zhang Fengchen seemed to be persuaded by herself, and seemed to be moved by her own wit, she looked at the portrait again, and praised: "Well, this portrait on the painting, although it is not as elegant as the rumored Shang Junchang, but it is also a little bold! Dare to offend Manichaeism, not bad, not bad!"

Zhang Fengchen turned around and finally arrived in Puzhou. She was walking slowly down the street on her horse, when she heard someone behind her shouting: "Mrs. Chen! Mrs. Chen walks slowly!"

Zhang Fengchen didn't care until four gray-clothed men who looked like domestic slaves stopped in front of her, panting and said, "Please also ask Mrs. Chen to go back with us." ”

Zhang Fengchen realized that the "Mrs. Chen" in their mouths turned out to be her. She secretly exclaimed in her heart: "This Chen family is also amazing, it is really annoying that I can still find me after running so far!"

She muttered as she pulled out the sword from the saddle pocket on her right, which was about two inches wide and no more than two feet long, not at all like a woman's blade. Seeing a flash of cold light, Zhang Fengchen waved his hand and slashed down, but the blade trembled, and he slashed at the four people respectively. She originally thought that this move "Han Xin's night soldiers" was enough to force the four of them away. Unexpectedly, although the four of them were domestic slaves, their martial arts were not weak, and the four of them easily avoided this knife, and at the same time changed their positions, but surrounded her in the heart.

Zhang Fengchen missed the knife, his heart was angry, and he slapped the back of the knife to the horse's buttocks. The horse was startled, neighed, and swooped out. The horse ran suddenly, and the house slave in front of him did not expect it, and could not stop it, so he had to quickly avoid it. Seeing this, the four of them had no choice but to chase after them.

Zhang Fengchen smiled evilly: "Ah, it's a slave who doesn't know how to die, look at this woman to teach you!" She deliberately slowed down her foot strength, and took out the drawing bow from the saddle bag on the left, took the arrow to lead the string, and turned around on the horseback and shot an arrow, right in the middle of the hair bun of a house slave, the house slave was shot by this arrow and his hair fell to the ground, and his liver and gallbladder were broken, so he didn't dare to chase anymore. Zhang Fengchen changed his posture on the horse, and shot three arrows in a row, but they were all hit by the buns of those house slaves, so that they didn't dare to chase anymore, so he smiled with relief and walked away.

Although he easily settled these Chen family slaves, Zhang Fengchen knew in his heart that the Chen family had been based in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, and there were only many masters among them. She was worried that there would be a master of the Chen family looking for her, so she didn't dare to delay along the way, and galloped on her horse and went straight to Juancheng.

Zhang Fengchen saw that there were few people on this avenue, so he just cared about hurrying. Unexpectedly, I suddenly felt a pain in my shoulder, and there was a "ahh Zhang Fengchen hurriedly pulled the reins, looked back, and saw a young man in green clothes sitting on a gray inferior horse not far away, the young man covered his ears with one hand, his face was painful, and there was a hat rolling on the ground.
