Chapter 267: Li Xiaoyao
There is paradise above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and it has been famous since ancient times. All scholars and literati have lingered. There are also ancient sages and celebrities who left their poems and wrote legends. On the banks of the West Lake River, on the misty and rainy towers, the sound of the piano is rustling. Li Shishi, a famous prostitute in Hangzhou, dressed in pink clothes and played the guzheng, attracting countless tourists and poets...
Yanyulou, the most famous place for romantic love in Hangzhou, is a famous prostitute, Li Shishi, who is both talented and famous. Whether it is day or night, it attracts countless tourists, especially some literati and poets, who like to come here, and talented men and beauties. Perhaps this is always a topic that cannot be separated from.
A talented man recites poems and essays, or smiles for the beauty, or is a good-looking person. He has won the reputation of being a beautiful woman in Yangzhou for ten years and won the reputation of being a lucky brothel. This is nothing more than that.
At the same time, a restaurant by the West Lake is also full of people.
"But Ning Jinzhi is really a master of his generation, with outstanding martial arts and outstanding literary talent. A song "Linjiangxian" is a great white man who is floating in ancient and modern times." In the middle of the restaurant, a young scholar dressed in a folding fan was placed on the table, sitting on it, giving people a feeling of being outright apart. There were many people around him, and he heard him talking.
Is this kind of person not uncommon in the world? It is commonly known as "storyteller". But this storyteller is not talking about books in the traditional sense. This book refers to some topics of talk, such as some strange stories or some biography of characters. Most of these people appear in restaurants and other places to attract people to listen. It is similar to the nature of selling arts, so as to make some money to make a living.
This young scholar looks like he is in his forties or fifties, with a mustache, long face, squinting eyes, very distinctive and sharp voice.
"You have been talking for a long time. Who is Ning Jinzhi? Why haven't I heard of it?" At this time, a man spoke.
"Don't be anxious, this listener, please listen to me and let me tell you carefully." The middle-aged scholar said without rushing and slowing down: "It is natural for you to not recognize this Ning Jinzhi, because this person is not from my Western Chu, but from the Liang Kingdom outside the Pass. His real name is Ning Caichen and his courtesy name is Jinzhi, so he is called Ning Jinzhi. He was born in a small county town in Chen County."
"The people of Liang are the small country that was almost destroyed by the Han Dynasty. Such a small country may have a great talent," someone said, obviously looking down on Liang.
"Hey, this guest's official words are wrong. Youdao is a hero who doesn't ask where he comes from. How can you guarantee that there will be no heroes in a small country? When did Liu Bang rise to Pei County?" The genius in green asked, and the others were jokingly looking at the man who spoke just now, happy to watch the fun.
"Then you say that Ning Jinzhi has outstanding features, I want to see what's wrong with him?" The man was indeed dissatisfied. With so many people, he couldn't lose face.
"Hehe, then you're OK?" The middle-aged scholar smiled and said, "You should still remember the incident of King Xiang's attack on Han State last year?"
"Why don't you remember? I heard that tens of thousands of people died in that battle. King Xiang even fought with Zhang Liang, Han Xin and Xiao He for a day and a night."
Someone said that this was last year. Xiang Yu suddenly led his army to attack Han State. Although the battle happened suddenly and ended quickly, no one ignored it, especially Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang, Han Xin and Xiao He fought for a day and a night. I heard that the Yangtze River was cut off on that day. Xiang Yu shocked the world with one against three...
"Then do you know why King Xiang suddenly led his army to attack the Han Kingdom?" The middle-aged scholar said, "Shi Yushi, he was good at luring him."
"Is it related to Liang Kingdom?" At this time, a person spoke. He was a young man, dressed in a waiter, but he looked very handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked about twenty years old, and his eyes were pitch black and lively, giving people a feeling of being smart and jumping.
"Hey, this guy is smart, you guessed it right at once. How dare you ask the guy for his surname?" The middle-aged scholar was not angry, but instead looked at the humanity at the exit.
"You guys don't have the surname Li, his name is Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao is also the one." The young man said with a laughing face. After saying that, he said, "Tell me quickly, where is the back?"
The middle-aged scholar no longer paid attention to Li Xiaoyao and spoke-
"As the little brother said just now, King Xiang suddenly attacked the Han State because of Liang State. Last September, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out in Dongyan County of Liang State, sweeping over Liang State, and the entire Liang State fell into turmoil. Han State seized the opportunity, and Wuhou Fan Kuai led an army of 200,000 to attack Liang State in the north."
"Wow"
This time, there was a commotion at the scene.
"I said, no wonder King Xiang suddenly attacked the Han State. It turned out that the Han State was going to attack the Liang State."
Everyone present knows that the eight countries in China are the most powerful, among which the Chu and Han are divided by the Yangtze River and the north and south are opposite each other, and no one can do anything to each other. Both Chu and Han are determined to pacify the rear and complete unification, but they restrain each other. Now the Han army is in charge of the northern expedition of Liang. If Liang is annexed by the Han State, then the next step is Yan State and Qi State. By then, the Han State can complete the unification of the north and can deal with Chu State without any worries. This is obviously not in the interests of Western Chu, and it is reasonable for Xiang Yu to send troops to attack.
"Hey, it's not right. What does Ning Jinzhi you mentioned have to do with this?" someone asked again.
"I think this Ning Jinzhi is the person who appeared in this battle, right?" Li Xiaoyao interrupted.
"Hehe, this little brother is still smart." The middle-aged scholar praised Li Xiaoyao and then said, "By the way, this Yellow Turban Rebellion is amazing. In one month, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, was even more amazing. He is a great monk in the realm of the Yuanshen?"
"What, a great monk at the realm of the soul?"
"My God, if I remember it well, Liang State seems to be just a general, Chen Yan, who is a powerful martial arts master."
The crowd exclaimed, "The great monks at the level of the soul have a great impact on everyone. It is really that the existence of this level is too powerful, and it is extraordinary and out of dust. For ordinary people, it is like gods. It is not only powerful, but also has an extremely long lifespan, over 200 years old.
Li Xiaoyao did not interrupt at this time, but when he heard the realm of the soul, a hot light burst out in his eyes. He always thought in his heart that one day he could become a person of that level, like a god, in the world.
"I heard that Chen Yan is already in his old age, can he beat Zhang Jiao?" someone said again.
"What's the result? What's the result?" Someone looked at the middle-aged scribe anxiously.
"Hehe, hehe?" The middle-aged scholar smiled and said nothing.
"Give it to you, tell me quickly." Someone understood the meaning of a middle-aged scribe and directly gave five copper coins to put them on the table.
"Haha, thank you for this listener." As soon as he saw the money, the middle-aged scholar's eyes lit up and quickly put them away and continued: "But Zhang Jiao was a great monk in the realm of the soul, but Liang State did not know that it was easy to send Chen Yan to quell the rebellion. It was originally thought that Ning Jinzhi joined the Liang army. In the end, the Liang army and the Yellow Turban Army fought a decisive battle at Hulao Pass."
"It was that battle that made Ning Jinzhi famous. Chen Yan and Zhang Jiao fought in great battle, and Chen Yan died in the end. He thought that the Liang army was defeated since then, but Ning Jinzhi rushed out and killed Zhang Jiao directly."
"No, Ning Jinzhi killed Zhang Jiao. He was a great monk at the Yuanshen realm. Could it be that Ning Jinzhi was also a great monk at the Yuanshen realm?"
The crowd exclaimed, Zhang Jiao killed Chen Yan, and they were not surprised. After all, the realm of the soul and the realm of martial arts and magical powers belonged to the same level, but Zhang Jiao's fall shocked people and made people gather in the strength of Ning Caichen.
"Hehe, you guessed it wrong. Ning Caichen's strength did not reach that level. According to the news, Ning Caichen's martial arts cultivation at that time was just transforming strength, while his literary cultivation was a half-step great scholar."
"Ning Jinzhi also understood the literary spirit. He is a dual cultivation of civil and military affairs." Someone noticed this.
"It's impossible. Even if you practice both civil and military cultivation, Zhang Jiao is a great cultivator in the realm of the soul. Could it be that Zhang Jiao was too seriously injured and gave Ning Jinzhi a chance?" Some people speculated.
"Where is Fan Kuai, you just said that Fan Kuai, the Marquis of Wu of Han, led his army to attack Liang State." At this time, Li Xiaoyao spoke, looking at the middle-aged scholar with bright eyes: "If I guessed correctly, Ning Jinzhi and Fan Kuai should have had a fight, but Fan Kuai retreated."
"Impossible"
"Let's brag, Fan Kuai is a powerful martial arts master. Even the realm of martial arts magic is few to match. Ning Jinzhi can defeat a seriously injured Zhang Jiao, how can he deal with Fan Kuai?" Someone immediately refuted.
"Hehe, you are not as good as this little brother Xiaoyao." The middle-aged scholar smiled: "The Han State attacked, broke through Hangu Pass, and fought against the Liang army led by Ning Jinzhi to fight against Luoshui City. As a result, the 200,000 Han State's army was almost wiped out, and none of them survived except Fan Kuai and the four generals..."
"I heard about that battle, Ning Jinzhi fought against Fan Kuai with his half-step martial arts and half-step great scholar's realm and was undefeated. Then the old monster of Black Mountain appeared, and Ning Jinzhi almost died."
"The Old Monster, that big demon" someone changed his color.
"But just when Ning Jinzhi was almost dead, Ning Jinzhi's teacher appeared and joined forces with Ning Jinzhi to defeat Fan Kuai's Black Mountain Old Demon..."
"Great Confucianism!"
"My God, Ning Jinzhi has a great scholar teacher"
"Incredible, you brag. You're better off than the realm of martial arts and magical powers that can match Fan Kuai's unbeaten. Even if he practices both civil and martial arts, he doesn't have the ability to do this. Are there all ants under his magical powers?"
There were some people who were turmoil and shocked, but there were many people who were unbelievable. It was simply terrifying that they had not reached the level of martial arts and magical powers.
"It's not that there is no. King Xiang fought with the pre-Qin general Zhang Han at the half-step level of martial arts and magical powers, and then Qin Shihuang killed a great cultivator with his strength that was less than the level of martial arts and magical powers..." Someone said another, thinking of the deeds of Xiang Yu and Qin Shihuang.
"I heard that Zhang Liang had calmly escaped under a powerful man with a martial arts supernatural power at a level less than that of martial arts supernatural power."
