Chapter 37: A wave of failure
Most of the eunuchs of the era came from humble origins, and Zhang Jiling was no exception.
I think that the careful viewer had already noticed "Bo Zhongshu Ji" when he saw Zhang Ji's name for the first time. He used the word "Ji", which means that he was the youngest in his family.
When poor families are desperate and sell their children, they often start from the youngest...
Zhang Jile was sent to the palace at an age when his memory of his relatives was still vague and became a eunuch.
Therefore, his growth experience... is very different from ordinary people, both physically and psychologically.
I won’t go into detail about this physiologically. Anyway, those who have been stabbed before puberty are better than those who are only castrated after 15 or 16 or even after 20 years of age.
Psychologically, an old eunuch who grew up in the palace and was brainwashed by countless people who "you are only loyal to me", deceived, bullied, used, framed, instigated, threatened by countless people... and eventually survived naturally had long lived a very "thorough" life.
From being willing to believe in others, to not believing in others, from just believing in yourself, to being willing to believe in others again...
Zhang Jilan actually understands the truth that many people cannot figure out in their lives and need to go through many life-and-death moments and extremely painful choices to understand.
Therefore, Zhang Jile is almost a desireless person now.
He was no longer interested in money because his food, clothing, housing and transportation were not required. Some of the "buying points" he needed on weekdays could be reimbursed from the princess, and he had nowhere to spend his own savings.
He was even less interested in the beauty. Some eunuchs who only entered the palace after adulthood would still have the intention of "food" but Zhang Jiling had no.
As for power, he thought about it when he was young, and of course he was just thinking about it.
So, in terms of spiritual terms, does such a person have no weaknesses?
Of course not...
No desire does not mean no desire, nor does it mean no ruthlessness. Zhang Jiling still has people and things he cares about...
First of all, he attaches great importance to the grand national system and the dignity of the royal family... He absolutely maintains and is loyal to these two parts, because this sense of mission of "loyalty" can make him feel that his unfortunate and incomplete life has a great significance that is not inferior to normal people.
Secondly, he still has a certain pursuit of his martial arts realm. After all, his strong martial arts are also one of the skills he must be loyal to the Great Dynasty, and this thing is not too high.
The third is that he has a kind of family affection for Princess Qingfeng, which is similar to the "father-grandson relationship". He really hopes that this princess can be safe and happy all her life.
These three points are not only Zhang Jilan's concern and weakness, but also the three spiritual pillars that support him.
However, at this moment, one of them... was shaken.
Wavested by the unmoving.
"You...why..." Zhang Jiling widened his eyes and looked at the little Taoist priest who was "in twenties" in front of him who easily caught and held his punch with one hand with one hand. He was so shocked that his words were not smooth.
You know, Lao Zhang's boxing... has been forty years of skill.
Even if you let a person with an average qualification practice a third-rate internal skill who has been a poor street for forty years, then his boxing power is not a joke.
What's more, Lao Zhang is also a "big expert". Since childhood, he has practiced the best skills specially provided to his father-in-laws in the palace, which is the way of "to practice magical skills, and to castrate himself by swinging a knife"...
At present, Zhang Jilan's punch was powered by the force that even the top masters of the top sects in the world dared to slap their chests and say that they would definitely be able to take the lead without any harm when they were prepared.
But as for the mover, he not only did he take it, but he still did not qualify, did not fight, did not remove force, or transform the force. He simply raised his hand and blocked it, and then stopped the opponent's fist and clenched the opponent's fist.
This feeling was like a strong adult who caught the fist of a three-year-old child... This naturally caused Zhang Jilan to be in chaos.
"Don't panic first, don't be angry." Seeing that Zhang Ji was so shocked that he froze, he continued to say in a calm tone, "Think about it yourself, it was your 'little master' who disguised himself as a man, and you secretly put medicine later, and your little master asked him to do something with her... Xiaolin never knew that the opponent was a woman, and she had already shown mercy... He was not at fault for being in a good manner, so you had to kill someone, so I can't sit still."
If you don't move, it's reasonable.
He also has enough force to make people listen to him.
So Zhang Jilan listened and had to listen.
The key is that there is a sentence in his words, "You are secretly drugged" and pointed out that Zhang Jilan, who made Lin Yuancheng drunk, also bears a certain responsibility.
If you insist on arguing, you can say: If Lin Yuancheng wasn't drugged and wasn't that drunk, maybe he could find out that Zhu Qingsheng was a woman before he slaps it?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jigen calmed down instantly.
However, at this moment, the eight sword-bearing guards around him were not calm anymore... They suddenly appeared and blocked Zhang Jile's attack. The eight people were also stunned by this scene, but now, they came to their senses and drew their swords one after another, trying to come forward to help Lao Zhang.
"Stop!" Fortunately, Lao Zhang stopped them in time and avoided his own injuries.
"This Taoist priest has no malice, I will deal with it. You guys quickly protect the master..." The next second, Lao Zhang ordered while confirming Zhu Qingsheng's position with his light.
Seeing that Lao Zhang had understood the situation, Bu Mo Zi let go of his hand so that the other party could retract his fist.
When the guards got the order, they did not dare to say much. They looked at each other for a moment, then turned around and ran to the princess who had just flew to several feet away, protecting her in their wall of humanity.
"Get out of the way!" But Princess Qingfeng was not grateful, and she immediately rushed to Lin Yuancheng to make a comeback, "I haven't finished fighting with him yet!"
Facing this aggressive princess, Lin Yuancheng's reaction was giggling, and said while laughing: "Ha... Brother Qing, why are you... not aware of trouble? Come again, I will press you to the ground and beat you~ Hiccup~"
I have to say that the "medicine" in this palace is really effective. As the effect of the medicine spreads, Lin Yuancheng has become a fool now. Not only did he not react to the interaction between Zhang Jiling and Budzi behind him, he also staggered and said vaguely to Zhu Qingsheng who was turning back.
Now Zhang Ji was anxious again. He thought to himself: "What's wrong? I haven't settled the score with you guys just now. You still want to 'press the princess to the ground and beat it'? It's against you!"
"What to beat?" Fortunately, Wu Mozi stepped behind Lin Yuancheng with one step at this time, and then slapped Xiao Lin fainted.
Everyone, please note that it is "dirty" here, not "dirty"... Impact was cast by a spell to make Kobayashi faint when I patted this lightly. If you really want him to "dirty", the strength would not be so easy to master.
"Little girl, your martial arts skills are far from him, don't make trouble anymore." When Wudie said this to Zhu Qingsheng, he had already carried Lin Yuancheng on his shoulders. "Besides, he is so drunk, so what if you win?"
"I..." In fact, even if Buddy didn't make these two sentences clear, Zhu Qingsheng understood this truth. She was still angry at Lin Yuancheng's previous attitude. In addition, the palm that just now hit her body made her feel like she was suffering a loss, and she was a little angry, "I want you to care? Who are you? Who made you knock him out!"
In anger, Zhu Qingfeng had already ignored the fact that the other party called her "little girl", and seemed to be trying to make the princess' temper go to the end.
Seeing this scene, Old Zhang felt a sense of silence: What should I do? This Taoist priest’s martial arts cultivation is not like a personal person. If the princess really angers him, it would be fine if I fell into this old bone, but I was afraid that I would not be able to protect myself with my life.
Just when he was worried, the rescuer came.
"Get out of the way!"
"Official officers do business! Everyone starts!"
With a clamor outside the door, another wave of people arrived.
There is no doubt that this is the future son-in-law Ma Xuansheng who came with the officers and soldiers.
I would like to mention it here. Although administratively speaking, Ma Xuansheng and even his teacher Han Yu could not mobilize the troops, in fact, as long as Han Yu sent a handwritten letter to the military camp or the yamen, there would be people who could mobilize the troops and horses to wait for his dispatch.
So, at this time, an officer was the leader of the police and rushed in with a large group of officers and soldiers, but in fact, the officer had to listen to the instructions of Ma Xuansheng following behind him.
"Stop it all!"
"Let the guy down! Did you hear me!"
After the officers and soldiers broke into the lobby, they shouted in a few voices, and the "challenge" at the scene immediately calmed down.
This is also natural, because the thugs Ma Er found were originally mobs who used money to do things. You can ask them to help you bully the common people. How could they be so directed to the officers and soldiers?
Besides, long before the officers and soldiers came in, the thugs had discovered... Huang Donglai, Linghu Xiang, Qin Feng and Tyrell, the four evil stars, could not be beaten by more than a hundred of them.
The reason why this fight lasts until now is that most of these thugs are old. After seeing that Huang Donglai and others are very skilled, many people took a step back three times, surrounded him without attacking, and only shouted but not fighting. Secondly, because Huang Donglai and the others did not want to kill a group of gangsters here, causing blood to flow, so the four of them held back during the fight, for fear of killing others.
Now that this team of officers and soldiers arrive, the thugs under Ma Er are simply saviors, so they must have done as soon as they hear "stop".
Huang Donglai and the other four were relieved. After all, they had a headache to deal with this inexplicable enemy that Brother Sun had caused. They didn't know what kind of grudges they had between the other party and Brother Sun, so they were not easy to kill.
If anyone really wants to say that there is someone who is unhappy with this situation, then there are only two.
One is Ma Er, who feels that the officers and soldiers are in the way of taking revenge.
The other one is a gangster who has been huddled not far behind Ma Er and has never taken action.
This person is not someone else, but Sun Yixie after "disguising for the second time".
What? You ask why Brother Sun is here? And he has been here for a long time, why don’t he come out to help the brothers?
Actually, if you think about his human nature, you can guess seven or eight points.
Think about it... This afternoon, Ma Er mobilized so many subordinates to "invest news" and "recruiting troops" in the city. Would Sun Yixie, the initiator, not pay attention to it?
In fact, Brother Sun deliberately reported Huang Donglai's name in front of Ma Er, part of the reason was that he wanted to use this guy to help him get along with Brother Huang.
Therefore, in the afternoon, Sun Yixie just found an inn to put down his luggage, changed his makeup again, and went out to the street again, as a gangster, and sneaked into the thug recruited by Ma Er...
Then, he followed Ma Er's "army" and came to the Baoyuan Inn in the evening, and soon found Huang Donglai and others sitting in the lobby.
Originally, Sun Yixie was going to go out to recognize his brothers directly, but unexpectedly, Ma Er started to scold Huang Donglai immediately. When Brother Sun heard this... this was a bit interesting. Why would he ask him to scold him for a while and see how Brother Huang reacted.
Later, as things developed, the two sides started fighting unknowingly...
At this time, Brother Sun felt: It's all like this, either I might as well wait for a while. Anyway, with Brother Huang and his ability, it's impossible for me to suffer losses from this group of gangsters. I'll wait until a critical moment before jumping out to hijack Ma Er, so that I can have a dramatic effect when I appear on the stage.
Thinking of this, Sun Yixi waited and waited, but it turned out to be a little too much and waited for the officers and soldiers...
Now, he seems to have no chance to "appear" and if he forced himself to show up now, he would probably be criticized by Huang Donglai for being crazy, so he could only continue to mingle in the crowd and pretend to be dead, muttering in his heart: "Mom, at worst, I can take off my makeup tomorrow and come to meet them again. Today I will pretend that I have never been here, hum... I might be able to receive the reward for being a thug in a while, and I will not lose money!"
However, today's matter is not over yet.
