Chapter 87
Tang Jing was furious and grabbed Zhou Li's hand and was about to go back, but was caught by Zhou Li. Zhou Li said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid we are not the ones who are anxious."
As the date approaches, the people behind the scenes want to ruin their wedding. As long as they don't fall into their trap, the other party can't do anything to them.
Tang Jing's eyes were filled with anger. She said, "I won't allow anyone to hurt you, no matter what method. Zhou Li, from the day you promised me, I wanted to bring you happiness, not distress. No matter who he is, he can't hurt you!"
Tang Jing emphasized the word "him" and gritted her teeth, "You can wait, but I don't want to wait!"
Zhou Li was stunned. The troupe members were looking at them. Zhou Li pursed her lips. She didn't want Tang Jing to have a conflict with her. This matter should be made light of. She said, "I just got off the stage. You need to give me some time."
Tang Jing let go, and she looked at Zhou Li with great cherishment. She said, "I know why you don't want to conflict with him, because he is my family, but he has violated my bottom line. Zhou Li, you are my bottom line. Don't worry about this matter. Since it is a family matter, then I will handle it. I will not let you be stigmatized for no reason!"
After Tang Jing finished speaking, he turned and left. Zhou Li sighed, but still didn't call Tang Jing.
Tang Jing knew where Zhang Zifeng was. He and Zhang Zixin went outside the city early this morning to see the Fire Gun Camp. This was the latest camp formed by Zhang Mei. Before, it was a cavalry team, but now that the production of fire guns has caught up, some soldiers have been selected to form a camp. The two brothers were excited to see the prey, so they were in the camp today.
Tang Jing rode his horse, turned around and rushed towards the military camp.
Her subordinates were very worried. Generally speaking, no one was allowed to enter the military camp without the order of the commander-in-chief. The two Zhang brothers had only asked for the tokens yesterday.
The subordinates caught up with Tang Jing and advised: "Master, the military camp is not our home ground, why not wait for them to come back?"
Tang Jing flicked his whip and said coldly, "I just want to embarrass him in the very place where he's most proud!"
Tang Jing remained determined and rode his horse forward!
In the military camp, Zhang Zifenggang finished testing a new musket and sneezed violently twice. Zhang Zixin chuckled beside him, "One is because I missed you, and the other is because someone scolded you. Brother, have you done anything wrong recently? Judging by the way you sneezed, I guess a lot of people scolded you."
Zhang Zifeng glanced at his brother and snorted coldly, "Instead of teasing me, you might as well think about how to improve your martial arts. Today in the training ground, Tang Jing had you beat!"
Zhang Zixin touched his nose and said, "That tomboy has learned some insidious tactics. How could she specialize in exploiting someone's underworld? If I hadn't been too embarrassed to do it, she would have lost long ago."
"Then why did father praise her?" Zhang Zifeng sneered, "You should think about it carefully, you stupid guy. There's a reason why she can suppress you."
"She did those disgusting things..." Zhang Zixin muttered quietly, "How is she like a woman?" Seeing Zhang Zifeng glaring at him coldly, Zhang Zixin reluctantly said, "I know." But in fact, he was muttering quietly in his heart: "More like a female demon."
Zhang Zifeng handed the musket to someone else. Zhang Zixin asked, "Brother, what are you going to do later? Mother said that there will be a lot of guests in the next few days, so we should go back early today to tell me something."
"What? You still want to work for her?" Zhang Zifeng sneered, "If you want to go back, go back. You want me to work for such a dishonest thing? Don't even think about it!"
"Brother, are you still concerned?" Zhang Zixin said, "I've thought about it. Tang Jing isn't considered a member of our Zhang family. Mother and father are only considering our past relationship. Besides, with the involvement of the Ranger Hall, it's hard for father to refuse, right? Besides, with Tang Jing's personality, who would dare to marry her in the future? It would be better to keep a companion for her so she can work for our family in the future, right? Women are emotional and easier to control than men."
Zhang Zifeng was stunned by his brother's words. He had never expected his usually dim-witted brother to have such insights. But he had studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and he despised anything unseemly. If it happened privately, he would have turned a blind eye. But how could two women be together? If all the women in the world chose women instead of marrying men, what was the point of talking about family? What was the point of talking about the country?
We must not encourage this kind of unhealthy trend! Zhang Zifeng was resolute.
His father and mother could be bewitched, his brothers and sisters could not see clearly, but he could not. As far as he knew, there were many people who could not tolerate such a thing happening, but they were forced to suppress it for the sake of his father's face. His father was old and confused, but he was not.
Zhang Zifeng said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Don't talk about her in front of me anymore!"
Zhang Zixin had a sullen look on his face. His mother asked him to persuade his elder brother. However, it would be strange if he could persuade his elder brother, whose mind was deeply poisoned by his grandfather's Confucianism.
Zhang Zixin sighed: "If you don't want to hear it, I won't talk about it."
Zhang Zifeng swung his hands and walked away. He had only taken a few steps when a subordinate came to report: "Report! Tang Jing is here to see you. She said she has something important to tell the young master. I wonder if she can come in?"
Zhang Zixin wondered. Tang Jing usually didn't come to the barracks, as they didn't share the same route. So why was he here today? Was he here to see the muskets, too? Of course, with a new weapon, everyone wanted to try it out.
Zhang Zifeng was quite considerate of Tang Jing in front of outsiders. If he didn't see her at home, he would have avoided her. But outside, he was afraid that others would say that there was discord between the siblings. Therefore, his expression was almost pleasant, "Just let her in."
"Yes, young master."
After an inspection, Tang Jing was found to be carrying only a horsewhip. She was brought before the Zhang brothers. Before Zhang Zifeng could even ask her why, the whip was thrust at her nose. Tang Jing declared in a resounding voice, "I challenge you! Zhang Zifeng! According to the rules of the training ground, whoever loses must kneel down and become my grandson!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
Especially Tang Jing, who was deliberately shouting very loudly, the whip in her hand almost poked Zhang Zifeng's nose. Tang Jing sneered, "Do you dare to compete with a woman like me?"
Zhang Zifeng's face turned green with anger.
Tang Jing was so rebellious that he was basically poking him in the spine and forcing him. He couldn't agree or not, and he couldn't refuse either.
It's not pretty whether you win or lose.
Of course Zhang Zifeng is confident that he cannot lose.
Zhang Zifeng was so confident that Tang Jing couldn't beat him with his limited skills.
Seeing her brother in a dilemma, Zhang Zixin quickly jumped out and said, "Sister, if you have something to say, why can't you just talk to me nicely? Why bother coming here to make a scene? This isn't the place for you to throw a tantrum!"
Zhang Zifeng looked at his brother with appreciation.
Indeed, how could a woman be here? The military camp was a place for men only.
Tang Jing knew what to do to make Zhang Zifeng angry. She knew them very well.
She slowly lowered her voice and said disdainfully, "What? Are you afraid you can't beat me? Didn't Zhang Zixin lose to me this morning?" She feigned sudden enlightenment and said, "So you really don't dare? Tsk tsk?"
Zhang Zifeng's anger instantly ignited from his chest and burned to his brain.
There is nothing he dare not do. He is just giving Tang Jing face!
"Why would I be afraid? I'm just afraid that if you lose, you'll go back crying and calling for your mother!" He also said something harsh. Tang Jing smiled and said, "Since you agreed! Then let's get started!"
As she spoke, she whipped out a whip out of thin air and attacked Zhang Zifeng in the face without any hesitation. She didn't want to give Zhang Zifeng time to think, otherwise when he came to his senses, he would feel ashamed to compete with her and refuse. Tang Jing naturally couldn't let him get his wish, because who knows who would be the one crying and calling for his mother!
A cold expression appeared on Tang Jing's face. Zhang Zifeng reacted very quickly. After all, he had been to the battlefield. Zhang Mei never spoiled her children. Except for Zhang Man, several others had been beaten by him. However, Zhang Zifeng had been placed in his father-in-law's house, which had corrupted his mind. Now the social order had long been broken. The original system no longer worked in this era of fierce competition. Now, whoever had the bigger fist would be the boss!
Tang Jing was deeply influenced by Zhang Mei's true skills.
She attacked with ruthlessness and accuracy. Many soldiers came over to watch after hearing the noise and nodded secretly. Marshal Zhang's children were all very capable, especially the girl who competed with the young master, who was as brave as any man!
Zhang Zifeng gradually felt the difficulty. All his moves were blocked by Tang Jing, and he might not be able to catch Tang Jing's kicks. Logically speaking, men are naturally stronger than women, and he should have absolute suppression, but this time he couldn't do it at all.
More and more soldiers gathered, and of course they had to watch the outcome of such a competition. This was a common thing in the military camp. Except for the beginning when Tang Jing used a little trick to force Zhang Zifeng to take action, she fought in a disciplined manner afterwards, without using any of the tricks she had used in the morning.
Zhang Zifeng became more and more frightened as the fight went on. This was different from what he knew.
He gradually lost his resistance. Tang Jing's face was cold, and without hesitation, he kicked Zhang Zifeng straight away. Tang Jing stood still. Zhang Zixin hurried to help his brother up, looking at Tang Jing with anger! His brother was the eldest son of the Zhang family, and now he was being taught a lesson by a woman in front of so many people. How could he face staying in the barracks in the future? This was completely destroying Zhang Zifeng's future!
Zhang Zifeng exhaled a breath of frustration, shook off his brother and said, "Come again!"
He was knocked down again, but he didn't give up. He fought again and again, and was knocked down again. In the end, he was completely dazed, and the people who were watching and talking gradually fell silent.
If Zhang Zifeng had given up just like that, they might have criticized him in their hearts, but he did not give up at all. Instead, his clumsy appearance silenced everyone.
Although Zhang Zifeng is pedantic and old-fashioned, his tenacity in character is remarkable.
Tang Jing retracted his legs, and Zhang Zifeng fell to the ground with a bruised face. He said, "Come again."
"Don't come, you lose." Tang Jing said.
"I didn't lose!" Zhang Zifeng still wanted to climb up, but he struggled for a while and still couldn't get up.
"You lost." Tang Jing said calmly, "You lost to me, a woman you have always looked down upon."
Tang Jing walked over and stretched out his hand to Zhang Zifeng: "Get up."
Zhang Zifeng smiled bitterly: "I underestimated you."
He struggled to get up, and Tang Jing whispered in his ear, "I know you did it. If you dare to lay hands on her again, you will suffer more than just today's humiliation. Anyone who insults my wife, I will personally humiliate him!"
