Chapter 20 Chance Encounters in the Mountains, Guests in a Foreign Country
Zhang Xiaochuan and Ren Fangfei were inseparable and in love during their time together, and they really spent a happy and beautiful time. But since Zhang Xiaochuan has become a prodigal son, how can he turn back so easily. Zhang Xiaochuan not only has to travel in the rivers and lakes, but also to play life to the fullest. How could Zhang Xiaochuan be willing to go with Ren Fangfei, so he had to try his best to persuade Ren Fangfei to return to Qingcheng Mountain. He was about to continue his journey, and when he was leaving, Ren Fangfei was reluctant to go, Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't bear it, so he lingered for a few more days. During this period, Zhang Xiaochuan taught Ren Fangfei more than a dozen exquisite swordsmanship as a commemoration, and then said goodbye.
Out of the ancient Shu land, to the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, soon arrived at the territory of the Xia Kingdom.
The land of Qinchuan is located at the junction of the north and the south, the four seasons are mild, the climate is pleasant, there are abundant water and grass, many mountains and forests, the people of the Xia country are hunting or nomadic, and there are different customs and customs here from other places.
Zhang Xiaochuan traveled all the way, very happy, and was walking through a dense forest, when suddenly something fell from the air. Zhang Xiaochuan was taken aback, and the horse was frightened and hurriedly dodged to the side. Zhang Xiaochuan stopped to check and saw that it was a pheasant, and it also had a carved arrow on its body. Zhang Xiaochuan saw it clearly, was overjoyed, and happily jumped off the horse and picked up the pheasant. At this time, Zhang Xiaochuan was feeling hungry in his stomach, and it happened that wild meat fell from the sky, and he was overjoyed in his heart. Zhang Xiaochuan took the pheasant in his hand, looked at it again and again, and seemed to have smelled the fragrance of the pheasant. Just as he was proud, a team of men and horses suddenly rushed over, led by a female general. I saw her, dressed in a military uniform, carrying a sword at her waist, holding a bow and arrows in her hand, majestic and heroic. Zhang Xiaochuan saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but cheer for her in his heart. "Give me back the pheasant!" the female general said to Zhang Xiaochuan domineeringly. "What? Is this pheasant yours?" "This pheasant was wounded by my bow and arrows, and you will know it at a glance. The general said, looking very haughty. Zhang Xiaochuan glanced at the arrow and saw that the words "Princess Mingyang" were engraved on it. "Princess Mingyang", is she a princess, it seems that this princess prefers martial arts very much! Zhang Xiaochuan thought about it and said to her, "It's yours, I'll pay you back." Zhang Xiaochuan didn't want to make extraneous branches, so he said nonchalantly, threw the pheasant over, and took the horse to leave. Princess Mingyang stretched out her hand to take the pheasant in her hand, her face was unhappy, and she immediately shouted to Zhang Xiaochuan, "You stop me!" Zhang Xiaochuan listened to her shout, although he didn't know her intentions, he still stood very obediently, and at the same time looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why do you want me to stop?" "Why are you so rude when you see this princess?" "Princess? You are a princess? Zhang Xiaochuan deliberately said it very aggressively, and he exaggerated his suspicious expression. When Princess Mingyang saw it, her nose was almost crooked. With the respect of a princess, she has always enjoyed the treatment of the stars holding the moon, where dare anyone talk back to her.
"Where are you from?" Princess Mingyang wanted to ask the details and teach Zhang Xiaochuan a good lesson. "I'm from the Song Kingdom, what's wrong?" Zhang Xiaochuan said, his expression still very light. "Okay, you are from the Song Kingdom, then you must be a spy. Come on, take down this spy for me. The soldiers got the order, and Hula immediately surrounded him, and Zhang Xiaochuan drew his sword in his hand, without fear. Princess Mingyang saw that Zhang Xiaochuan was not only not afraid, but actually drew her sword in her hand and looked at herself defiantly. couldn't help but get angry, waved his hand to all the soldiers, and shouted, "Do it!" All the soldiers held their swords, and Hula suddenly rushed up, Zhang Xiaochuan didn't say much, danced his long sword, and fought with everyone. After all, the other party is all officers and soldiers, and Zhang Xiaochuan doesn't want to offend the other party too much, besides, unless the troops are arranged, how can ordinary officers and soldiers compare to the masters of the rivers and lakes? Zhang Xiaochuan didn't want to hurt people, and when he swam out of the move, he always let those soldiers crash into the tip of the sword and retreat in horror, and the magic of the swordsmanship made Princess Mingyang secretly surprised. Seeing that everyone was not Zhang Xiaochuan's opponent, Princess Mingyang immediately retreated from everyone, and she was about to go into battle to compete with Zhang Xiaochuan in person. "Little sister, stop!" I don't know when, another person came, and the person who came was Prince Deming, he was the elder brother of Princess Mingyang, and I saw that he was born handsome and dignified. "Brother, this person is too rude, come and help me teach him a lesson!" Prince Deming stopped drinking at Princess Mingyang and motioned for her to step aside. Although Princess Mingyang was not very happy in her heart, the prince's brother spoke, and she still stood there obediently. Prince Deming hugged his fists, saluted Zhang Xiaochuan and said, "Little sister is reckless, and there are many offenses to the right talents, please don't blame the strong man!" "It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Zhang Xiaochuan saw that Prince Deming was very dignified, and he was very polite to himself, so he quickly hugged his fists and returned the salute. "The strong man is from the Song Kingdom?" "Well, yes, it is the Song Dynasty people below." "Our Xia Kingdom and Song Kingdom are friends of each other, and friends come from afar, so how about asking the government to talk about it?" Zhang Xiaochuan saw that Prince Deming was very generous and graceful, and saw that his eyes showed infinite desire and sincerity. I thought, anyway, if I have nothing to do, it doesn't hurt to play more time in Xia Kingdom. "Then bother. Seeing that Zhang Xiaochuan agreed, Prince Deming immediately smiled. The group returned to the prince's palace, Zhang Xiaochuan only knew that the other party was Prince Deming at this time, and thought, "People treat themselves politely, how can they be rude, Zhang Xiaochuan reminded himself that he should restrain his words and deeds a little, and he can't be too bohemian."
That night, Prince Deming held a banquet to entertain Zhang Xiaochuan, Prince Deming was in a high position, not arrogant or impatient, corporal Lixian, very humble, and left a very good impression on Zhang Xiaochuan. Prince Deming acted informally and very boldly, and he even called Zhang Xiaochuan a brother and a brother between talking and laughing. Two like-minded people talk about everything and drink heavily every day. One evening, when the drinking was in full swing, Prince Deming proposed to let Zhang Xiaochuan dance the sword to help the wine. When Zhang Xiaochuan heard this, he did not shirk, and with the intention of drinking, he gave full play to a set of carefree swordsmanship, which provoked Prince Deming to take everyone and clapped his hands and cheered again and again.
After a few more days, Zhang Xiaochuan wanted to set off and continue to Bianjing, but Prince Deming always kept him with brotherly affection. He said to Zhang Xiaochuan that he wished to be able to talk about brotherhood with him, and he hated to get along day and night.
