Thirty miles north of Yanjing City, there is a Laifu Inn, which is adjacent to Yanjing's largest market - North Gate Market. It was already dusk on this day, and the villagers who came to the north gate to gather and gather were scattering from all directions. In 1267 A.D., not long after Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, canonized Yanjing as the accompanying capital, the Mongols wantonly bullied the Han Jin people, and the business of the Laifu Inn withered a lot. The shopkeeper was chatting with the young man at this time, and the young man said: "Shopkeeper, I don't see any diners today, it's better to close early, otherwise when those old men come, we will inevitably be in trouble again." Before the shopkeeper could speak, a few people came in at the door: "Shopkeeper, hot pot wine, cut a few catties of cooked beef." ”

The shopkeeper looked at these people carefully, and at a glance, he knew that they were businessmen who came here to do business, and hurriedly instructed Xiao Er to greet everyone and go to settle the accounts alone. The little second was also a cheerful person, and whispered to those people between greetings: "A few masters, how did your brothers come to this place to do business? "That's right, now that the Mongols are in charge, how can the common people have a good life, alas......" These people were chatting to themselves, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and looked far away towards the door, only to see dusty, not to mention seven or eight horses. "It's bad, I'm afraid those masters are coming...... Xiao Er clapped his legs and shouted. As he spoke, the horsemen had arrived at the door, and it turned out to be several Mongolian warriors. First, a big man with the appearance of an official stepped off the horse and walked in in a big way: "Where is the old boy in charge?" "Master, I'm here, you're here." The shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet him, and answered the man who looked like an official with a dazzled smile. "Well, you old boy knows how to lift, every time the elder screams. Let's sell you face today. As he spoke, he glanced at the merchants before him and led everyone upstairs. "It's not good, it's bad. Xiao Er suddenly whispered to the shopkeeper, "That female guest officer is still on the second floor!"

It is said that after these Mongolians went up to the second floor, they saw a girl in white sitting by the window, this woman had snow-white skin and a small cherry mouth, about seventeen or eighteen years old, although her eyebrows were slightly sunken, showing a slight chill, but she did not hide her appearance at all. At this time, the woman was sitting alone by the window drinking tea, with a sword on the table, her eyes staring into the distance, her expression seemed to be melancholy, and she seemed to be a little resentful. "Big brother, this little girl is good, why don't we ...... Hey. One of the bearded Mongol soldiers said to the chief. As soon as the words fell, I heard a scream, and the man had already fallen to the ground. There was a chopstick stuck in his left eye, and he kept bleeding and screaming in pain. This time it was extremely fast, and when everyone reacted that it was the woman who made a move, she had already disappeared, and only heard an intermittent sentence from near and far: "Dog thing, full of obscenity, this time it's eyes, next time I want your life!" The voice was tactful, just a little naughty in the coquettish, but there was a majesty. When everyone chased them out, they could not find any trace of them.

The woman walked out of the city along the north gate and didn't know how far, and vaguely felt that someone seemed to be following behind, so she turned around and saw a young man who looked like a beggar following him from a distance. The boy was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, ragged and unkempt, but very handsome. The woman stopped and walked over and asked, "Little Hanako, what are you doing with me?" The little beggar replied, "I just saw that the woman put down the Mongolian warrior as soon as she made a move, and the high level of martial arts is rare in her life, so I came to visit." Then he made a gesture. The woman saw that he was not very old, his body was dirty, and his face was childish but he was learning to speak as an adult, and she was really angry and funny: "You little monkey, flamboyant, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" The boy was not afraid of him, but only giggled at her. The woman had no ill will towards this young man, but now she seems to have something important to solve yet, and she is a little melancholy: "Xiao Hanako, don't follow me anymore, otherwise I will slap you to death." With that, he turned around and wanted to leave. At this time, she made a light effort, quickened her pace, and expected to get rid of the little beggar. Unexpectedly, when he looked back, he saw that the little beggar was following him not far away, and he was so shocked that he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Who is this young man? Where did he learn this light skill? Why did he pretend to be a beggar? Why did he follow me? Is it ...... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but gasp, the beggar gang is the number one gang in martial arts, and the brothers in the gang are even more in groups. This little beggar suddenly appeared here, and he was no longer under me in terms of light work, so what if there were a few more of them, what would I do? It is better to take advantage of the present to deal with this child...... I slowed down when I had something in my heart, and suddenly felt a pain in my calf, and when I looked down, I was bitten by a purple snake. She subconsciously took a few steps back, and when she looked closely, the big snake was about a foot long, full of purple, and had three large balls of flesh on its head, looking very ugly and hideous, and kept spitting letters at her. The woman was stunned at this time, Rao is martial arts is body, and when she faced such a terrifying beast, she couldn't move.

The serpent slowly squirmed towards her, two large fangs dripping juice from its mouth. I don't know if it's saliva or venom, but in short, a foul smell came, and it smelled like I was going to faint. The woman drew her sword and tried to cut it off, but when it was too late, she saw two fist-sized stones flying over, and one hit the big snake sarcoma, knocking the big snake to the ground. At this time, the woman felt that her eyes were dark, and she fainted.

The woman fell on the hillside, rolled into the woods and long grass, and then fainted, and I don't know how much time passed, suddenly felt a stinging pain in her body, opened her eyes, only to see countless mosquitoes flying around her, all she heard in her ears was a buzzing sound, followed by a strange itch all over her body, and the white expanse in front of her eyes, I don't know if it was really a fantasy, and fainted. After a long time, she suddenly felt a spicy liquor in her mouth, slowly poured into her throat, she swallowed it grogily, but she felt indescribable, opened her eyes slightly, and suddenly saw the little beggar two feet away in front of her, who was grinning and looking at herself. The woman was startled and almost fainted again. The little beggar reached out and pinched her jaw with his left hand, and with a cup in his right hand, he was pouring liquor into her mouth. The woman felt that the itching and severe pain on her body had subsided slightly, and when she saw that she was lying on a wooden bed at this time, she knew that the young man had saved her, and smiled slightly to express her gratitude. The little beggar grinned again, fed the medicine and wine, and put the cup on the table. The woman felt that the young man did not seem to have any malicious intent, so she sat up with her elbows propped up, leaned against the head of the bed and asked, "Little brother, who are you and why did you save me?" The little beggar smiled and said: "My sister killed the Mongols, she is a good person, so she naturally wants to save her." The woman asked, "Little brother is strong in martial arts, dare to ask if you killed the big snake just now?" The young man replied, "It is called the three-headed purple snake, which is a famous poisonous snake here, and it will definitely die within three days after being bitten." "Ah!" exclaimed the woman, and then lowered her head in deep thought.

The woman's real name is Pei Manzhen, she is seventeen years old this year, and her ancestor Pei Man's family is the younger brother of Jin Xuanzong Wan Yan Xun, the second son of Wan Yan Yungong, and the first slave in the mansion of Wan Yan Zhen, the Duke of Qi. Mongolian Genghis Khan ten years (1215) occupied the capital of Jinzhong, Yanjing fell, Wanyan Zhen killed a family of 78 and then martyred the country, the house slave Pei Manyanhong escaped with the little prince who had just full moon, and later changed his name to Pei Manjin. (Note: After the fall of Yanjing, the Jin State moved its capital to Kaifeng, and the Mongols wantonly killed the descendants of Wanyan.) Pei Manyanhong in order to keep the incense of Yan Zhen, so he changed his name to Pei Manjin for the young master) Pei Manzhen is the second daughter of Pei Manjin, three years ago a family of five was killed by the Mongols, Pei Manzhen was rescued by an aunt and taught him a good skill. This time, Mongolia designated Yanjing as the accompanying capital, and Pei Manzhen heard that Kublai Khan would come here, so he sneaked in, intending to take his life. Unexpectedly, this time he was about to die in this barren mountain and wilderness without even seeing Kublai Khan's face, and when he thought of the tragic situation when his parents and brothers and sisters died, his heart was sour, and he shed tears.

The little beggar didn't know why, thinking that Pei Manzhen was so scared that he was crying when he heard that he was going to die, so he comforted him: "Sister, what are you crying about, I didn't say that you were not saved." Pei Manzhen raised his head suspiciously, but saw the little beggar pick up the cup just now and said slyly: "This is my family's ancestral medicinal wine, I was bitten by a big snake when I was a child, and my mother let me drink it, and I will be fine after three or five days of rest every time." He smirked again. After experiencing life and death, Pei Manzhen couldn't help but sigh, and said with a smile: "You little monkey is so cunning, little brother, thank you very much." He clasped his fists in his hands and continued to the little beggar: "Under Pei Manzhen, please consult the little brother's name." The young man smirked and said, "My name is Zhang San, Sister Pei, your name is so good." "Zhang San, your name is quite strange. Pei Manzhen continued to ask: "Then the little brother can be a disciple of the Beggar Gang?" Zhang San scratched his head with his hand and said: "What is the Beggar Gang? My name was given by my mother, and she said that the name is just a code name, which cannot be brought in life, and cannot be taken away in death, as long as others can call it, so she named me Zhang San." "A good sentence cannot be brought by life, and death cannot be taken away. Pei Manzhen said quietly. But after thinking about it, how can there be a mother in the world who gives her son such a name, could it be that this Zhang San also has a bizarre life experience? Then he asked: "Then what about your mother, where is she now?" "My mother died three years ago. Well, she's over there. As he spoke, Zhang San pointed to the hillside in the distance. "I see, since the little brother is not a member of the beggar gang, this martial arts is passed down from your family?" Pei Manzhen said. "I didn't study martial arts, but when I was a child, my mother just taught me some ways to run and meditate, and taught me some skills to shoot marbles. Mom said that if you know this, you can live in the mountains. As he spoke, his eyes turned red, Pei Man really knew that he wanted to come to this child and miss his mother. I couldn't help but think of my life experience, but the sadness came from it, and I actually shed tears again.

In the blink of an eye, the two lived in the thatched hut for three days, and during these three days, Zhang San went to the mountains every day to hunt some game for Pei Manzhen and came back, and with some wild fruits and vegetables, Pei Manzhen's health gradually improved. On this day, Pei Manzhen got up early, and when he saw that Zhang San had gone out hunting and had not returned, he was very bored, so he started to work outside the house. In the past few days, drinking Zhang San's medicinal wine, coupled with the game in the mountains, she only felt that her physical strength had increased greatly, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised. After a while, Zhang San came back with two rabbits, and when he saw that Pei Man was really practicing martial arts, he sat on the ground and watched quietly. When Pei Manzhen saw him come back, he put away his sword and smiled at him. For a few days, the two lived alone in a thatched house, although they didn't talk about everything, but the two were in the same situation, and Pei Manzhen unknowingly regarded him as his younger brother. She originally had a younger brother, if she didn't fall into trouble, she should be about the same age as Zhang San now. Looking at Zhang San, Pei Manzhen suddenly remembered that he chased after him on the day he met him, and praised his martial arts, could it be that he wanted to learn martial arts from himself? Thinking of the situation when Zhang San was learning to talk to himself in the tone of an adult, he smiled unconsciously and asked: "Zhang San, do you want to learn martial arts from me?" Zhang San was stunned at first when he heard her say this, and then he kept nodding and said, "Yes, I want to learn martial arts." "What are you doing studying martial arts?" Pei Manzhen asked. "I want to avenge Li Si. Zhang Sanzheng replied, with a slight murderous aura between his eyebrows. Pei Manzhen was stunned, and asked, "Who is Li Si?" "I raised a big yellow dog, I grew up with me, and when I came back that day, I saw several Mongolians shooting it with bows and arrows. I tried to save it, but it was too late. Zhang San said hatefully. Pei Man really felt strange and continued to ask: "Is Li Si's name also your mother's?" "Yes, the two of us grew up together, and my mother named me Zhang San, and it was called Li Si." My mother said that human life is as lowly as a dog, so since I was a child, I was called brothers to Li Si. Pei Man was really curious, and he knew that this little beggar must have some unspeakable family affairs, so he didn't ask more.

After a few days, Pei Manzhen felt that his body was no longer in serious trouble, and his internal strength was even more unabated, so he began to think about the assassination in his heart. The assassination of Kublai Khan is easy to say, but it is so easy to do. Kublai Khan pacified his brother Ali Buge's tribe at this time, and had already determined his status as the Great Khan, but the Ogedai Khan Haidu had always had the intention of rebelling, so this time he came to Yanjing again after canonizing the capital to convene the Great Khans of the khanates to discuss the conquest of Haidu.

Just after dusk on this day, Pei Manzhen saw that Zhang San had not returned from going out, so he left a note, which read: "Sister went out to run errands and will return tomorrow." It's not that she said goodbye, but that this matter involves Zhang San's net worth. He is gracious to himself, and he can't take his own life. After all, Kublai Khan was a Mongolian khan, and this is his accompanying capital, and the masters in the city are like clouds, and she is really not sure at all with her martial arts.
