Most of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty came from humble backgrounds, and Zhang Jige was no exception.
I think the attentive reader had already noticed it when he saw Zhang Ji's name for the first time - "Brother and Uncle Ji". He took the word "Ji" to show that he was the youngest in the family.
When poor families are desperate and sell their children, they often start with the youngest...
Zhang Jige was sent to the palace and became a eunuch at an age when his memory of his relatives was still vague.
Therefore, his growth experience...is very different from that of ordinary people, both physically and psychologically.
I won’t go into details about the physiological aspect. Anyway, someone like him who had surgery before puberty is better off from a certain point of view than those who were castrated after fifteen, sixteen or even twenty years old.
And psychologically, a person who has grown up in the palace has been brainwashed by countless people with the message "You are only loyal to me", and has been deceived, bullied, used, framed, instigated, and threatened by countless people...
...And the old eunuch who survived in the end naturally lived a "thorough" life long ago.
From being willing to believe in others, to no longer believing in others, from only believing in yourself, to being willing to believe in others again...
Zhang Jige actually almost understood the truth that many people cannot figure out in their lifetime, and that they need to go through many life-and-death situations and extremely painful decisions to understand.
Therefore, today Zhang Jige is almost a desireless person.
He was no longer interested in money, because he didn't need money for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Some of the "things" he needed in daily life could be reimbursed by the princess, and he had nowhere to spend his own savings.
He was even less interested in beauties. Some eunuchs who entered the palace after adulthood might still be interested in "eating", but Zhang Jige had none of that.
As for power, he had thought about it when he was young, but of course it was just a thought.
So, does such a person have no weaknesses mentally?
of course not……
Being desireless does not mean having no demands, nor does it mean being ruthless. Zhang Jige still cares about people and things...
First of all, he attaches great importance to the state system and the dignity of the royal family... To these two things, he is absolutely protective and loyal, because this sense of "loyalty" can make him feel that his unfortunate and incomplete life has some significance.
It has a great significance that is not inferior to that of normal people.
Secondly, he still has a certain pursuit of his own martial arts realm. After all, high-strength martial arts is one of the skills he needs to be loyal to the Dazao Dynasty, and this thing is not too high.
Thirdly, he has a kind of affection similar to "grandfather-grandson love" towards Princess Qingzhen. He really hopes that the princess can live a safe and happy life.
These three points are not only Zhang Ji's concerns and weaknesses, but also the three spiritual pillars that support him.
However, at this moment, one of them... was shaken.
Was shaken by Fudo.
"You...how..." Zhang Jigao's eyes widened and he spoke in shock as he looked at the "20-year-old" little Taoist priest in front of him who easily caught and held his full-strength punch with one hand.
They all said it was unlucky.
You know, Lao Zhang's punch...has taken forty years of skill.
Even if you let a person with mediocre qualifications pick up a third-rate internal skill from a bad street and practice it for forty years, his boxing strength is no joke.
What's more, Lao Zhang is also a "great master". He has been practicing the best martial arts specially provided for the father-in-law in the palace since he was a child, which is the way of "if you want to practice magical skills, swing your sword from the palace"...
The force of Zhang Ji's punch was such that even among the masters of the first-class sects in the world, no one dared to boast that he would be able to punch it without getting hurt if he was prepared.
But when he didn't move, he not only received it, but also received it in a non-standard, non-fighting, non-discharging, and non-energized way. That is, he simply raised his palm to block, stopped the opponent's punch, and then smoothly smashed the opponent's fist.
Hold on like this.
This feeling was as if a strong adult had caught the fist thrown by a three-year-old child... This naturally put Zhang Jigai into chaos.
"Don't panic, don't be angry." Seeing that Zhang Jige was frozen in shock, Fudozi continued to say in a calm tone, "Think about it for yourself, it's your 'little master' who is disguised as a man.
First, you secretly drugged her later, and your mistress requested it herself, so Xiao Lin attacked her... Xiao Lin never knew that his opponent was a woman, so he just used that palm, and he was already merciful... Due to emotion and reason,
He has done nothing wrong, but if you want to kill someone, you can't just sit idly by and watch."
If you don't move, it makes sense.
He also has enough force to make people listen to his reasoning.
So Zhang Jiyi listened and had no choice but to listen.
The key is that there is a sentence in his words, "You secretly drugged me later", which points out that Zhang Jige, who got Lin Yuancheng drunk, also bears some responsibility.
If you have to argue, you can say: If Lin Yuancheng hadn't been drugged and not so drunk, then maybe he could have discovered that Zhu Qingzhen was a woman before he slapped her?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jige calmed down instantly.
However, at this moment, the eight guards with swords around them were no longer calm... Just now when Fuzi suddenly appeared and blocked Zhang Ji's attack, these eight people were also stunned by this scene, but now
, they came to their senses and drew their swords one after another, wanting to step forward to help Lao Zhang.
"Stop it!" Fortunately, Lao Zhang stopped them in time to avoid his own harm.
"This Taoist priest has no ill intentions. Just let me handle it. You guys go and protect Mr...." The next second, Lao Zhang used his peripheral vision to confirm Zhu Qingzhen's position and ordered.
Fuzi saw that Lao Zhang had understood the situation, so he also let go of his hand, allowing the other party to withdraw his fist.
The guards did not dare to say anything after receiving the order. They looked at each other for a moment, then turned around and ran to the princess who had just flown a few feet away, and protected her within their human wall.
"Get out of the way!" But Princess Qing Zhen didn't appreciate it. She immediately rushed to Lin Yuancheng to make a comeback, "I haven't finished fighting with him yet!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Facing this menacing princess, Lin Yuancheng's reaction was to giggle, and while laughing, he said: "Heh... Brother Qing, what are you...
What about you who don’t know the difference? If you come again, I will push you to the ground and give you a belch~"
I have to say that the "medicine" in this palace is really effective. As the effect of the medicine dissipated, Lin Yuancheng was completely drunk and turned into a fool. Not only did he pay attention to the interaction between Zhang Jiyi and Fuzi behind him,
There was no reaction, he was still stumbling, and he was talking vaguely to Zhu Qingzhen who was coming back.
Now Zhang Ji was anxious again. He said to himself: "What's the matter? I haven't settled the score with you for that slap just now. Now you still want to 'push the princess to the ground and beat her'? It's against you!"
"What are you fighting for?" Fortunately, Fuzi stepped behind Lin Yuancheng with a single stride, and knocked Xiao Lin unconscious with a slap.
Ladies and gentlemen, please note that this is "dun", not "knock out"... Fuzi cast a spell to make Xiao Lin faint when he patted him lightly. You really want to "knock him out"
", the strength is not so easy to control.
"Little girl, your martial arts skills are far behind his. Stop making trouble." When Fuzi said this to Zhu Qingzhen, he had already carried Lin Yuancheng on his shoulders. "Besides, he is already so drunk, you will win again."
how?"
"I..." In fact, even if Fuzi didn't clarify these two sentences, Zhu Qingzhen also understood the truth. She was just still angry at Lin Yuancheng's previous attitude. In addition, the slap on her body just now made her always
Feeling that he had suffered a loss, he became a little angry and said, "I want you to take care of it? Who are you? Who asked you to knock him out!"
In anger, Zhu Qingzhen had already ignored the fact that the other party called her "little girl", and looked like he was going to make the princess angry to the end.
Seeing this scene, Lao Zhang felt confused in his heart: What should I do? This Taoist priest's martial arts skills are not like a human being. If the princess really angers him, I will just throw my old bones into it. I'm afraid I
I can't even protect you with my life.
Just when he was troubled, the rescuer came.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Officials are on duty! Get ready!"
Following a commotion outside the door, another large group of people arrived.
There is no doubt that this is the future prince-in-law Ma Xuansheng coming with his officers and soldiers.
Let me mention here, although administratively speaking, Ma Xuansheng and even his teacher Han Yu cannot mobilize troops, but in fact, as long as Han Yu sends a handwritten letter to the military camp or the government office, he will be able to mobilize troops.
Those who mobilized troops and horses were at his disposal.
So, at this time, it seemed that an officer was leading the charge and rushed in with a large group of officers and soldiers, but in fact, this officer had to listen to the instructions of Ma Xuansheng who was following him.
"Stop it all!"
"Put the guy down! Do you hear me?"
After the officers and soldiers broke into the lobby, they shouted a few times and the "brawl" immediately subsided.
This is natural, because the thugs hired by Ma'er's subordinates are just rabble-rousers who are paid to do things. You can ask them to help you bully the common people, but how is it possible to let them stand up to the officers and soldiers?
Besides, even before the officers and soldiers came in, the thugs had already discovered... Huang Donglai, Linghu Xiang, Qin Feng, and Tyrell, these four evil stars, could not be defeated by more than a hundred of them.
The reason why this fight can continue until now is that firstly, most of these thugs are veteran. After seeing the extraordinary skills of Huang Donglai and others, many of them took three steps back, surrounded but not attacked, and only roared but did not fight; secondly,
It was because Huang Donglai and the others did not want to kill a bunch of thugs here and cause a river of blood, so the four of them had to hold back during the fight for fear of losing lives.
As soon as this team of officers and soldiers arrived, Ma Er's thugs simply received a savior, so they must have obeyed as soon as they heard "Stop".
As for Huang Donglai and the four of them, they were relieved. After all, it was quite a headache for them to deal with such an inexplicable enemy caused by Brother Sun, and they didn't know what the grudges were between the other party and Brother Sun, so they
It's not easy to kill someone.
If there's anyone who's unhappy with this situation, it's two.
One is Ma Er, who feels that the officers and soldiers are hindering his revenge.
The other one was a little gangster who had been hiding not far behind Ma Er and never made any move.
This person is none other than Sun Yixie after his "second disguise".
What? You ask why Brother Sun is here? And he has been here for a long time, why didn't he come out to help the brothers?
In fact, if you think about his human nature, you can guess at least 70%.
Think about it... This afternoon Ma Er mobilized so many of his subordinates to "seek information" and "recruit troops" in the city. Would Sun Yixie, the instigator, not pay attention to it?
In fact, Brother Sun deliberately reported Huang Donglai's name in front of Ma Er, partly because he wanted to use this guy to help him get in touch with Brother Huang.
Therefore, in the afternoon, Sun Yixie just found an inn to put down his luggage, changed his makeup, and went out on the street again, sneaking into the team of thugs recruited by Ma Er as a local gangster...
Then, he followed Ma Er's "big army" and arrived at the Baoyuan Inn in the evening, and soon found Huang Donglai and others sitting in the lobby.
Originally, Sun Yixie was planning to go out directly to meet the brothers. Unexpectedly, Ma Er immediately started to curse Huang Donglai. When Brother Sun heard this... this was interesting, why not let him curse for a while and look at Huang Donglai?
What was my brother's reaction?
Later, as things developed, the two sides started fighting without realizing it...
At this time, Brother Sun thought again: That's it, or I just wait a little longer. Anyway, with Brother Huang's ability, it is impossible for them to suffer from this group of gangsters. I will wait until a critical moment, and then jump out and hijack Ma.
Second, the appearance will have a dramatic effect.
Thinking like this, Sun Yixie waited and waited, but in the end, he waited a little too much and made the officers and soldiers wait...
At this point, it seemed that he had no chance to "make his official debut". If he forced his appearance now, Huang Donglai would probably make crazy complaints about him, so he could only continue to mix in the crowd and pretend to be dead, thinking in his heart: "
Damn it, the worst I can do is take off my makeup and come back to meet them tomorrow, and just pretend I haven’t been here today, hum... I might even be able to get paid as a thug in a while, it won’t be a loss!”
However, today's matter is not over yet.
After a breath, Ma Er, who was sitting on the sedan chair, turned his head in the direction where the officers and soldiers were pouring in, and saw that the person standing next to the leading officer was his own brother. He shouted at that time: "Brother! You are here."
Just right! You have to help me make the decision!"
