Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 13 This is a magic trick
Wei Xiaobao knew that Zhang Liang had regarded him as a life-saving straw. Although he had already made a plan in his mind, he did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he straightened his upper body, twisted it, and groaned in pain.

Zhang Liang naturally knew what Wei Xiaobao meant, and shouted loudly outside the tent, "Someone come!"

The young leader was waiting outside the tent for orders. When he heard Zhang Liang's call, he thought he had already interrogated Wei Xiaobao's identity as a spy, so he rushed into the tent as if his feet were greased to grab the credit. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Zhang Liang still collapsed on the ground, stunned for a moment.

Zhang Liang didn't care about his own embarrassed appearance. He sat down while holding onto the table and pointed at Wei Xiaobao and said, "Quickly untie these two brothers."

The little leader was so shocked that he didn't know what method Wei Xiaobao used to make Zhang Liang believe that they were not spies.

Zhang Liang shouted, "Tang Qin, I tell you to untie me immediately!"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "So your name is Tang Qin. Just now you said you wanted to make me suffer. Now you have to untie me."

Tang Qin was extremely unhappy. After untying the rope, he saw Wei Xiaobao's smug expression, which made him even more angry. He walked over to Shuang'er, mumbling, thinking, "What a bargain you two bastards have, but I'll make you suffer a little."

Tang Qin was thinking of doing something bad, so he suddenly exerted force with his hands. Not only did he not untie the knot for Shuang'er, but he pulled the rope hard behind her.

Shuang'er's arms were tied behind her back. When Tang Qin pulled her like that, she felt a sharp pain in her shoulders and screamed.

When Tang Qin heard Shuang'er's shrill cry, he reached out and grabbed her face, pulling out most of her beard.

Tang Qin shouted, "General, he's a fake, he's a eunuch!"

Seeing that her identity was exposed, Shuang'er hit Tang Qin's abdomen with her shoulder, knocking him to the ground groaning.

Wei Xiaobao also took the opportunity to take out his dagger and protected Shuang'er, cursing: "You are the eunuch, your whole family are eunuchs."

Tang Qin was the younger brother of the traitor Tang Zhou. After Tang Zhou's rebellion, he remained in the palace as a eunuch. Traitors were already despised, but becoming a testicleless eunuch was a double shame, a scar that had already become a double shame. The Yellow Turbans, hampered by Tang Qin's status as Zhang Liang's confidant and his bravery since the uprising, dared not speak to him about the eunuch issue. But now, hearing Wei Xiaobao scolding him to his face, their long-simmering resentment finally erupted.

Tang Qin didn't care that he was in Zhang Liang's military tent. He stood up, drew his sword and chopped at Wei Xiaobao's head.

After scolding Tang Qin, Wei Xiaobao went to untie Shuang'er, with his back to Tang Qin at that time.

Shuang'er pushed Wei Xiaobao away and shouted, "Xiaobao, be careful!"

When Wei Xiaobao was bumped by Shuang'er, the dagger in his hand had already cut the rope that tied Shuang'er, and he waved it wildly in the air.

Shuang'er had already reached out and pressed the Tanzhong and Zhongting acupoints on Tang Qin's chest.

The sword in Tang Qin's hand collided with Wei Xiaobao's dagger and broke apart with a swish. The broken half of the blade, still with undiminished force, flew past Shuang'er's head, nailing the yellow scarf on her head to the ground.

Wei Xiaobao's crotch tightened, and he nearly peed himself. He cursed, "Damn it! Didn't I just say your whole family are eunuchs, and you want to kill me?" Tang Qin's acupuncture points were pressed, and he couldn't move his whole body. He thought the other party was using magic, and when he heard Wei Xiaobao still scolding him, he was afraid and angry, and shouted, "I must kill you today!"

When Tang Qin raised his knife to attack Wei Xiaobao, Zhang Liang had already stood up and prepared to stop him, but the distance between them was at least seven steps, so he could only watch the knife fall. Seeing Wei Xiaobao escape danger, Zhang Liang broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stepped forward and slapped Tang Qin in the face, saying, "You almost ruined everything. The information that Brother Wei sent you is related to that traitor Tang Zhou!"

When Tang Qin heard Zhang Liang say this, he was stunned at first, then his face was filled with guilt and even anger. He thought to himself, "Since you came here about my brother's matter, you deliberately ridiculed me in front of the general. You humiliate me like this. Even if you are really Chen Bai's subordinate, I will find an opportunity to kill you."

Zhang Liang said, "Why don't you retreat?"

Tang Qin said viciously, "They cast a spell on me. I can't move my body."

Zhang Liang was shocked. "Although my elder brother can summon thunder and lightning, he has never mastered this magic that can capture people's souls." Thinking of this, Zhang Liang looked at Wei Xiaobao with a higher opinion. He clasped his fists towards Wei Xiaobao and said, "Brother Wei, please put away your magic."

Wei Xiaobao chuckled inwardly, "You think acupressure is magic, but you don't know that your eldest brother's magic is the real magic! If it weren't for the magic he left behind, Shuang'er wouldn't be here to show you her acupressure skills today."

Wei Xiaobao turned around and nodded at Shuang'er, and Shuang'er reached out to untie Tang Qin's acupoints.

Tang Qin only felt a numbness in his chest, and his hands had no strength at all. The half-broken knife felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and fell to the ground in an instant.

Zhang Liang waved his hand, then bowed to Wei Xiaobao and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Tang Qin left the military tent dejectedly.

Zhang Liang quickly asked, "Tang Qin already feels inferior because his brother Tang Zhou rebelled and became a member of the imperial eunuch faction. It's understandable that he's annoyed by your claim that his entire family is made up of eunuchs. I hope Brother Wei won't take it personally."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "So you are the traitor's brother. Not only did you bully my good wife Shuang'er, you also wanted to kill me. One day I will castrate you and make your whole family eunuchs!"

Zhang Liang wanted to continue questioning Wei Xiaobao about the method he had used to exonerate himself, but since his own subordinate Tang Qin had nearly killed Wei Xiaobao, he was too embarrassed to ask. He then saw Shuang'er's hair falling apart after her turban was removed, and her beard largely ripped off by Tang Qin. He remembered the tone of her voice when she had just called out, "Xiaobao, be careful!" He said to Shuang'er, "This young lady has profound magical skills. I wonder who her teacher is? My three brothers are also practitioners, but we've never seen such a wonderful method."

Shuang'er smiled, glanced at Wei Xiaobao, and said, "I learned it from my Third Young Lady."

Zhang Liang thought to himself, "If she's the so-called Third Young Lady, could this girl's magic be passed down by a fox spirit? No wonder I've never seen it before. It must be some kind of witchcraft."

This was truly a case of one front door and one hip joint. The Third Young Lady that Shuang'er was referring to was the wife of the third son of the Zhuang family. The men of the Zhuang family were punished for literary inquisition, and the women, children, and the elderly were exiled to Ningguta. On the way, He Tieshou rescued them and taught them some self-defense skills. However, when he came to Shuang'er, he only learned his specialty, acupressure.

Zhang Liang thought that the Third Young Lady was a fairy fox. Firstly, it was because he had never seen this acupoint pressing technique before. Secondly, in the ghost legends of the Eastern Han Dynasty, foxes that cultivated to become fairies often called themselves "Grandma". As a result, Zhang Liang thought that the Third Young Lady mentioned by Shuang'er was a fairy fox.

Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er didn't know what Zhang Liang was thinking, and Zhang Liang didn't delve into it any further. He thought the matter would just pass by, but unexpectedly it would cause Wei Xiaobao a lot of trouble in the future.
