Chapter 200: Hard to Distinguish Right from Wrong (Part 1)

Anyone who heard Zhang Jiujiang say this while laughing and making trouble would find it inexplicable.

But Zhang Gui had long wanted to see the scenery on the grassland of "Yuanshan," which nurtured the legendary emperor Tiemu Changsheng, and instead nodded in agreement,

"Zhang Jiujiang, you are truly the roundworm in my brother's stomach, and you can think of it with me.

But I want to go to Yuanshan to see what the 'basic board' ruled by the greatest known opponent is like.

What do you want to do there?

Are you traveling with classmates from the academy, 'reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles,' then you are really bold."

Zhang Jiujiang did not answer Zhang Gui's question directly, his face became dim,

"I returned to Pingyang Town at this time because 'Qingdou Academy' closed its mountain gate.

As for when it will reopen, I'm afraid it's remote.

The reason is that the hometown of the wife of our Academy Head, Mr. Huaihe, in Tianping County, Yuanfu Commandery, Xiyue Province, was broken by a group of thieves who were said to have peerless combat power under natural and man-made disasters.

The wife's family fell into it, and none survived.

After learning this bad news, the wife was grief-stricken and died after vomiting three liters of blood.

The Academy Head was most affectionate with her, and after the wife was buried, he stayed up for nine full days without sleeping or resting.

Suddenly closed the academy mountain gate.

Said that the root cause of his wife's death was the national war between Yuanshan and Ming Song, which led to the collapse of order in the Southern Kingdom.

He is going to Yuanshan to meet Tiemu Changsheng and talk about the pros and cons to stop the war."

"No, your Academy Head is clearly crazy because his wife died.

Tiemu Changsheng is what kind of person, how could..."

"So we all think that the Academy Head intends to use the name of Chen Qing to pretend to be Zhuan Zhu and perform the 'Fish Intestine' story."......

Zhuan Zhu was a person from Tangyi, Wu Commandery, in the previous dynasty of the Ming Song Kingdom a thousand years ago.

Born a scholar, but with deep eyes and a big mouth, tiger back and bear waist, heroic and powerful, proficient in Qi and Blood cultivation and short-range combat techniques.

He was a filial son, a good husband, a kind father, and a righteous person in the countryside.

Later, Wu Commandery was invaded by the King of Chu, and Zhuan Zhu's family died, and the whole village died.

Only Zhuan Zhu escaped by chance while visiting friends outside the commandery.

After learning the news, he first spent three years visiting famous blacksmiths in the world to make a three-inch soft sword that was extremely sharp and could break Gang Qi.

He also spent three years visiting famous chefs in the world and learned the decisive skill of cooking fish.

Then he spent another three years opening a restaurant called 'Fish Intestine Building' in 'Longze City' where the King of Chu was located.

Finally, he shocked the king with his reputation for being good at making 'live fish whole stew.'

When the King of Chu was feasting his ministers one night, he let Zhuan Zhu perform, and cook a live fish hot stew on the spot to accompany the wine.

As a result, Zhuan Zhu hid the soft sword in the belly of the live fish, and approached within ten steps of the King of Chu when serving!

According to the "Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Assassins,"

"... the doors and steps were all close to King Liao, standing on both sides, all holding long spears.

When the wine was drunk, Zhuan Zhu placed the soft sword in the belly of the fish and presented it.

When he arrived in front of the king, he tore the fish and stabbed the King of Chu with the sword, and the King of Chu died immediately..."

Since this legendary story was recorded by the Grand Historian, it must have really happened in history.

It's just that there are too many unreasonable places in it.

For example, Zhuan Zhu, who was at most a 'Wen County' or even 'Gentry' level family child, had what qualifications to visit famous blacksmiths in the world after his family was destroyed.

Finally, he really got a divine weapon with extremely special uses like the 'Fish Intestine Sword.'

For another example, the assassination plan prepared for nine full years was perfect, how could it be an impromptu act, etc., etc.

But this story, which should have been absolutely impossible, finally became true.

This also left endless room for imagination for later generations...

With the story of 'Fish Intestine Assassinating the King' flashing in his mind, even though he had lived two lives and was extremely imaginative, Zhang Gui didn't know how to judge Mr. Huaihe's behavior.

Could only open his mouth and say:

"Jiujiang, I can only say that Mr. Huaihe has the style of the ancients."

"Yes, only in ancient books are there people like our Academy Head.

He will probably be beheaded before he sees Tiemu Changsheng.

Or out of curiosity, Tiemu Changsheng might really see our Academy Head.

As long as things in the world haven't happened, no one can foresee them.

We can only do what we should do."

"So you group of 'Qingdou' students want to go to Yuanshan Kingdom to collect the body for Mr. Huaihe?"

"Exactly."

"Counting the time, the Academy Head has been gone for more than ten days.

Everyone is at a loss and has returned home.

But three days ago, several old senior brothers suddenly sent me a flying sword message, saying they wanted to go to Yuanshan Kingdom to build momentum for the Academy Head's trip.

Then several of us good classmates communicated, and all felt that the Academy Head might already be gone.

Those old seniors who have eyes and ears in the sky know about this, so they want to go to Yuanshan to pick him up and bury him in the ancestral grave.

Can't let the Academy Head be buried in a hostile country."

"So that's how it is.

That's fine to go.

After all, with the demeanor of Tiemu Changsheng as a generation of heroes, he might kill Mr. Huaihe because of his reckless behavior and scholarly spirit as a world-famous scholar.

But for you grandchildren-generation hairy boys and yellow-haired girls, he will never kill you.

He can't afford to lose that person.

At most, he will let people whip you a few times with a shepherd's whip.

But if you really get such a whip, you will be famous in Ming Song.

It's a good thing instead."

Zhang Jiujiang was stunned, angrily raised his finger at Zhang Gui and said:

"Zhang Gui, what are you saying? Do you think that my going to welcome the teacher's remains back home is also harboring evil intentions and seeking fame?"

"Isn't it?

Listening to the interesting stories of your school life you told before, you don't seem to be very familiar with Mr. Huaihe at all.

Could it be that you would sincerely travel thousands of miles for him, take risks and trek, isn't that crazy."

"You, you, you, I have been distressed every day since I returned to Pingyang Town, thinking about waiting for you to come back to enlighten me.

Today I finally caught you, but you are making the old man angry like this!"

"Jiujiang, we are 'one life, two brothers,' I won't flatter you.

Think about the logic.

You, a transfer student who entered Qingdou Academy through marriage, are not loved by your grandmother or uncle.

Mr. Huaihe is the Academy Head, with a precious status, and there are too many peerless genius scholars from ancient noble families he has seen.

If it weren't for the relationship with Zhang Jiuqing, who would know you.

So don't be so self-moved.

Developing such a habit will make you suffer."

Seeing his little partner's serious look, knowing that he was sincerely for his own good.

The anger in Zhang Jiujiang's chest dissipated, but his heart became even more inexplicably mixed.

"Da Gui, Da Gui, in the past, we were young and ignorant about state affairs, so it was fine to be big and small.

How come at this age, you are still, still like this.

Don't you really think of yourself as a barbarian heir apparent!

But isn't the Stone Corpse Kingdom of Caiyang Auntie's house long dead in name only.

Your little foundation is all given by the Ming Song court, the court is finished, and you will have nothing.

Just for this, you have to have some loyalty and patriotism!"
