City Marshal

At this time, Li Zhenren looked serious, nodded, looked into Chu Tian's eyes, and said: "I don't mean to praise you, you have a natural temperament, elegant and indifferent, calm and unruffled, and you are a person who does great things. " Then he sighed and said: "This is what my great-grandfather also said. Hundreds of years ago, there was such a person in our Shui tribe. Unfortunately, not long after becoming a chief, he became sick from overwork and died young, buried in Qingshan with precious funeral objects."

Li Changjiu's hand to change the light bulb froze for an instant, Fang Qing and Chu Tian's faces were stunned, and then they reacted, hurriedly pulled Li Zhenren to do it, Fang Qing fumbled to pour a glass of water, and put it in Li Zhenren's hand and said: "Old man, please tell us that story, the more detailed the better."

Li Zhenren seems to have been alone for too long. Now there are so many people talking with him, and he is very happy. Lying on the rocking chair, his fingers began to tap the edge of the rocking chair rhythmically, his expression was a little calm and a little bit Happy, tell Chutian and the others about that distant story.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, wars were raging everywhere, and heroes from all walks of life rose up one after another. In troubled times, there are opportunities to achieve great things, but also dangers of blades. The chief of the Shui tribe, a century-old wizard named Zhang Tianzong, although His advisers advised him to seize the opportunity to win the Central Plains, but Zhang Tianzong had no intention of getting involved in these whirlpools of world hegemony. He had already seen clearly that those who claim to be kings and emperors would die nine times out of ten, why bother to gamble on this [-]% chance? How about betting on the lives of your people?But he also knew that in such troubled times, guns are the best protection and the bargaining chip for negotiating with the future rulers. Therefore, although Zhang Tianzong has no intention of competing for world hegemony, he still trains his clansmen day and night, and uses local power All kinds of mineral resources were exchanged for a lot of advanced weapons. By the time Li Zicheng entered the capital, Zhang Tianzong already had [-] "dead soldiers", [-] guns, and more than a dozen red cannons. His strength was enough to match any ruler. negotiation.

But Zhang Tianzong did not wait for Li Zicheng, but he waited for the army of the Qing army. For the Qing army at that time, if a powerful and powerful person did not surrender or surrender, he would be eradicated at all costs. Otherwise, how could there be' Ten days in Yangzhou, three days in Jiangyin, and three massacres in Jiading?

Zhang Tianzong is a hot-blooded man, never afraid of threats, he already knew the atrocities of the Qing army, he was afraid that after he put down the knife, the Qing army would repent, and his neck and that of his tribe would be exposed naked under the butcher knife, so he roared and led The clansmen fought back with sophisticated weapons, and at the same time let some clansmen lead the old, young, women and children to retreat quietly through the retreat road that had been prepared. After all, Zhang Tianzong didn't want the clansmen to be wiped out and make himself a sinner.

More than [-] people led by Zhang Tianzong persisted for ten days, and forced to repel more than [-] people from the Qing army, killing a prince and four generals of the Qing court. On the eve of the eve, Zhang Tianzong was about to sharpen his sword and fight, but was knocked out by a dozen loyal subordinates, and was secretly transported out. When Zhang Tianzong woke up, he was already in a green hill, surrounded by a dozen exhausted and loyal subordinates , and the city in the distance was already lit with raging fire, Zhang Tianzong burst into tears, knowing that those brothers who lived together day and night had already died in battle, and he regretted not fighting with them, but he also knew that it was no wonder that those around him all night He transported his brothers outside the city and ran dozens of miles.

"What happened later? What happened later?" Fang Qing looked a little sad when she heard this story, but when she heard that Zhang Tianzong left the city alive, she felt a little more relieved: "Should Zhang Tianzong continue to lead his people to survive tenaciously?"

Fang Qing's gentle and soft voice seemed to be heard miraculously by Li Zhenren. Li Zhenren's face was still calm, but he shook his head.

In order not to implicate the retreating clansmen, Zhang Tianzong had already told them to forget about himself, don't even say that he knew himself, and don't even mention it to future generations, so as not to cause death, how could he go to those clansmen?The clan members who withdrew knew Zhang Tianzong's good intentions, so they could only forget this man and the hero in their hearts with tears in their eyes.

After resting in the mountains for a few days, Zhang Tianzong took Qingshan as his camp, took a dozen brothers around him, intercepted and killed scattered Qing soldiers, and took back a lot of gold and silver treasures from these predatory Qing soldiers, but During the ten days of defending the city, Zhang Tianzong fought on the front line every day, and suffered a lot of hidden injuries, but he didn't tell his subordinates, and because he didn't die with his brothers in the city, he still ran around day and night. In the last few days, Zhang Tianzong brought a few jugs of fine wine to the place where the tomb was dug a few years ago, and sent the remaining brothers to the usual day.

Although those brothers left, they couldn't bear it in their hearts. They met again the next day to visit Zhang Tianzong, but they found that they couldn't find the tomb. It took them several days to find it. Proficient in Fengshui and geography, some mechanism should be set up, and they want to die quietly, so they can only reluctantly leave.

Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat, could it be the Qimen Bagua Formation?This Tian Zong is really a century-old genius.

Li Zhenren's story seems to be finished, his face is a little lonely, but also a little proud, and he said the last sentence lightly: "My ancestor is one of Zhang Tianzong's subordinates, so I can hear this story; my great-grandfather He has instilled Zhang Tianzong's aura in me many times, and he left eight words that impressed me: Elegant and indifferent, calm and unruffled."

Only then did Chutian understand why Master Li had yelled those eight words when he saw him just now. It turned out that they had been engraved in his heart for so many years.

Fang Qing and Li Changjiu looked at Chu Tian seriously, and after a long time, they said in unison: "Elegant and indifferent, calm and unruffled, it is really appropriate for you."

Chu Tian felt ashamed for a while, don't do it, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Seeing someone agreeing with him, Li Zhenren felt happy again, hummed a little tune, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the edge of the rocking chair again.

When Chu Tian listened carefully, it turned out to be "Dongfanghong", and asked strangely in his heart: "Old man, you actually know how to sing Dongfanghong?"

Li Zhenren's ears seemed to be dull again, he raised his confused eyes and said, "Brother, why are you talking so quietly?"

Chutian had no choice but to yell again: "Old man, Dongfanghong sings well."

Li Zhenren understood this time, sat up happily again, and said: "I have been to Tianjing, to Tiananmen Square, and I have even shook hands with the Chairman."

"Good job." Chutian and the others praised Master Li with their fingers up.

Li Zhenren unfolded his wrinkled face, smiled even brighter, and asked, "Is the old man okay, Chairman?"

Chu Tian and the others looked at each other for a while and shouted, "It's okay, it's okay."

Li Zhenren nodded, and muttered to himself: "That's good, that's good." Then he lay back and continued humming.

When Chutian and the others just stepped out of the door, they suddenly remembered a very important matter. Chutian told Fang Qing and the others, "Actually, we should ask what the name of that green mountain is, so as to save a lot of trouble."

As soon as Chu Tian finished speaking, Master Li's confident voice came: "Tiandu Peak."

Chu Tian and the others looked back and saw that Master Li was resting on the rocking chair again. Fang Qing looked at Li Jiujiu: "Uncle Li, why is Master Li's ears so good sometimes?"

Li Changjiu shook his head and sighed softly: "God knows."

When the three of them returned to their place in the village, Professor Wang and Yu Xiaoli were flipping through the local documents borrowed from the village. When they saw Chu Tian and the others coming back, they hurriedly got up to give way, and asked about the results of the visit with one voice.

Chu Tian touched his nose, smiled slightly, and said, "Professor Wang, don't worry, there are already some clues."

Professor Wang was very pleasantly surprised and said: "That's good. Ms. Yu and I checked the local literature for a long time, but there is no valuable information."

When Yu Xiaoli was about to ask Chutian for some clues, Xu Jiajia and the others also came back, looking annoyed, Yu Xiaoli walked up a few steps, with eager eyes, and asked, "Did you find anything when you went out?"

"There are many mountains and deep valleys, deep soil, many trees, heavy fog, and difficult roads. There is nothing to check." Xu Jiajia rubbed her sore shoulders and put down her sophisticated equipment.
