"You two know each other?"

Zhang Xianzong's cry of "Ah Zhen" attracted a lot of attention. Li Chang'an turned to look at him, somewhat puzzled.

"No, no, I don't know her, but I've heard her story."

Zhang Xianzong waved his hand, then continued, "Although I don't know him, Your Highness, someone in our palace knows him, and their relationship is quite special."

Ah Zhen was also puzzled. She had been retired from the entertainment industry for many years, but she never expected that someone would still recognize her and even be able to call her by name.

The people of Pig Cage Mountain Village generally call her the village chief. They don't know her real name. In the martial arts world, only her nickname is known to them. Very few people know her real name.

So she carefully examined Zhang Xianzong, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't remember who he was.

"Oh, there's a story behind it?"

Li Chang'an, intrigued, asked, "Who is it?"

"hey-hey."

Zhang Xianzong rubbed his hands together like a fly, his expression somewhat lewd: "A-Qiang, Brother Qiang, is that guy who often goes fishing with us, the number one person in Sichuan, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect—He Qiang, the Heavenly Emperor."

When Ah Zhen heard this name, she was struck dumb, as if by lightning.

At that moment, memories flooded back, and she recalled that night.

A night without stars.

It was a dark and windy night, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Ah Zhen has always been a very strong-willed woman. Born into the Mo family, she has always wanted to prove that women are no less capable than men, and that women are just as capable as men.

So she fled the Mo family and roamed the martial arts world, upholding justice and robbing the rich to help the poor.

Even when she's injured, she won't shed a single tear.

Until that starless night, she was chased for days and nights in Sichuan, and her body was exhausted.

At that time, she lost her former strength and became as helpless as a little woman. How she wished that someone would be by her side to share some of her pain.

Just when she was about to give up, her force came.

He Qiang, the senior disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, saved her.

In the starlight, he carried her on his back, rode on it, and fled all the way.

The two traveled under the stars and moon, crossing mountains, fording rivers, passing graves, and stepping over tombstones, finally stopping in a small grove of trees.

In the grove, on the graves in the mass grave, the two exchanged glances.

The man is handsome and dashing, the woman is highly skilled in martial arts; the man is elegant and refined, the woman is highly skilled in martial arts; the man has striking features, the woman is highly skilled in martial arts.

Finally, against He Qiang's will, they committed their shameful act under the witness of heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Ah Zhen couldn't help but blush. That period was the happiest time of her life.

The two transformed into a pair of notorious thieves, robbing and plundering in the martial arts world, upholding justice and becoming known as the Peerless Twins, a truly renowned group.

Unfortunately, fate was unkind. One morning, when Ah Zhen woke up, her Ah Qiang was no longer beside her.

In the end, He Qiang chose to return to the Xiaoyao Sect and became its leader, parting ways with her.

Thinking of this, a trace of sadness appeared on Ah Zhen's face, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Last time we were fishing and drinking, I talked to Lao He about the 'Male and Female Duo' who used to be active in Sichuan."

“I told him I knew the female one. She came to Beijing back then and I had injured her. Then Lao He told me that he was the male one.”

Zhang Xianzong whispered something in Li Chang'an's ear, his face showing a lewd expression that made him look nothing like a respectable person.

"When Lao He talked about this, he was in tears. He said that he was just too young back then."

"He was only sixteen at the time, and had just set out on his travels when he encountered a woman being chased and killed."

"I meant well and offered to help, but in the end, I got myself into trouble."

"That woman's martial arts skills were superior to his. She took care of him in the forbidden area of ​​the Xiaoyao Sect, on the graves of the past sect leaders."

"Back then, he knew nothing about matters between men and women. He lost his innocence without even realizing it, and then he went with someone else. Later, they became a pair of 'male and female demons'."

"If someone hadn't seen through his martial arts and realized it had the influence of the Xiaoyao Sect, and then notified his master to take him away, he probably would have been ruined by this woman for the rest of his life."

After listening to these words, Li Chang'an stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before asking, "So what do we do now? After all, they were husband and wife for a day and have a hundred days of kindness with each other."

"We are the three fishing musketeers of Tai'an City, and we are so close, we can't possibly lay a hand on his wife."

Zhang Xianzong paused for a moment after hearing this, then his eyes lit up: "How about you bring that old bastard He Qiang over?"

"I have a feeling that old man still has lingering feelings for his ex-wife, otherwise, why would he never marry?"

Li Chang'an looked at him and said, "Didn't he say he wouldn't marry a wife because he had no woman in his heart, so fishing is naturally a divine skill?"

"You believe his lies? Have you ever seen him catch a fish?"

"That fishing rod is so magical. Anyone else could catch a few small fish in it, but only in his hands could he catch strange things every day."

When Li Chang'an first met He Qiang, he gave him a fishing rod that would never fail to catch anyone.

As it turned out, there was no air force (meaning no fishermen), but with the fishing rod in He Qiang's hands, he could catch anything except fish. Every day he would catch tree branches, women's underwear, bellybands, and children's diapers.

Ah Zhen also emerged from her reverie at this moment. She looked at Zhang Xianzong, who was muttering to himself, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you asking about my name?"
