Chapter 79 Entering Tongguan

By the time Li Zhengchun and the other two returned to the town, King Luoyang's troops had already set out, and naturally, Feng Ying and the others also left.

Something happened in the town. Many families were fighting. During the fighting, a man in the family died.

There were deaths in the government offices, and the town was in chaos. Old Mrs. Li and her friends didn't dare go out, they were all terrified.

Seeing Li Zhengchun and his friends coming back, Old Lady Li scolded them, "Where have you been? If your two brothers were here, they would definitely not abandon me here."

"That little whore from the Feng family really pissed me off. She came back without even stopping at a place to stay and just left with her people. She didn't even say a word to me. She took Silang and Wulang away with her as well. Silang is such an ungrateful bastard. I raised him up like this, but in the end, he still favored his biological mother."

There was a red scar at the corner of her mouth that looked like a worm. Even if she expressed it in a wronged tone, it still looked extremely ugly.

Li Zhengchun was very upset.

In the past, he would have knelt down and admitted his mistake.

But now, he was in no mood to do that: "Feng Ying is gone? I will definitely divorce this bitch when we get to Chang'an."

Gao couldn't go with Feng Ying and the others. She was very angry with Old Lady Li. If it weren't for her filial piety, would she have left long ago?

Seeing that the old lady was still feeling aggrieved, she said, "Mother, don't you see what's wrong with Sanniang? Why doesn't she look angry at all?"

Li Zhengchun didn't want others to know what happened to Li Sanniang. When he saw the expressions of the people, he knew that Feng Ying didn't say anything.

He said, "It's okay, she's asleep."

He was going back to his room carrying Li Sanniang on his back.

Xu Meiniang was about to cry, but when she heard Li Zhengchun say this, she quickly held back her tears.

Followed Li Zhengchun back.

Jiang and Gao saw her only then, and they exchanged looks at the same time.

Why did this cousin go out with Sanlang?

Gao asked Mrs. Li, "Mother, is this cousin going to be Sanlang's concubine? Why are they always together? Is it because of her that Ah Ying is angry?"

"What concubine? I am just concerned about Sanniang. Don't talk nonsense. Why would someone from our Xu family be a concubine for your Li family?"

As if she had touched something, Old Lady Li roared angrily.

Gao: “…”

If that's the case, her last name isn't Li, and she's not being made a concubine, so what's the fuss? It's so annoying.

Li Zhengchun put Li Sanniang on the bed, and Li Sanniang opened her eyes.

She didn't cry, her eyes were gloomy and her expression was sinister: "It's all because of the fool that I got into this situation. If it wasn't for selling her, how could I have ended up like this? Kill her for me!"

She said the last sentence with gritted teeth.

Xu Meiniang wiped her tears and muttered: "I don't know why a fool is worth protecting. Now, in order to protect the fool at home, a good child was hurt. What should my Sanniang do in the future?"

Li Zhengchun comforted her, "Don't worry, no one wants you. I will support you for the rest of your life."

"Who wants you to support me for my whole life? What's the big deal?" Li Sanniang looked into the void and said, "I'm going to marry Shisanlang. You should get ready."

Li Zhengchun no longer objected and nodded, "Aye will definitely make your wish come true."

Taking advantage of the good spring weather, the team finally arrived at Tongguan after about 28 days of walking.

Chang'an City is ahead.

Tongguan, which can be used to attack the Central Plains when advancing and to defend the Three Qins when retreating, has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

When Feng Ying and his companions followed the Luoyang King's men into the city, they heard someone complain: "It takes more than a month to travel from Luoyang to Chang'an. How can the imperial capital be built so far away?"

Li Ji said: [He must be a very rude person.]

Feng Ying, Wu Lang, Si Lang: How did she know?

Wu Lang walked over and asked, "Brother, where are you from?"

"We are from Jingzhou," the guards replied.

Wu Lang was surprised and turned to look at Li Jidao. She had really guessed it right.

Li Jidao thought: [The people of Chu will never submit to the people of Qin.]

【Where there is a will, there is a way. After a desperate struggle, the 120 Qin passes finally belonged to Chu】

Feng Ying: “…”

What does it mean?

Silang and Wulang couldn't help laughing. Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms. The birthplace of Qin was Shaanxi. He was originally a marquis of King Zhou, guarding the border and raising horses for King Zhou, but in the end he unified the world.

The Chu State was located in the Central Plains and was inhabited by nobles. They thought the Qin people were vulgar and looked down on the Qin State.

Although the war was lost, it was still said that "the Qin would be destroyed by Chu".

Of course, they were not bragging. In the end, it was Xiang Yu, a nobleman of the State of Chu, who destroyed the Qin Dynasty.

Then as Ah Jian said, where there is a will, there is a way. After fighting to the death, the 120 Qin passes finally belonged to Chu.

As they were laughing, they stopped laughing.

Because they found that they had never heard this sentence before, but Ah Jian's casual joke turned out to be a historical allusion.

Their A Jian has been a little fool since childhood. Who did he learn this from?

Seeing that the Li family members were gathering together when they got off the car, Song Jie used his perception.

Just happened to hear the line: [Where there is a will, there is a way. With determination and perseverance, the 120 Qin passes finally belonged to Chu.]

He frowned slightly.

He had only seen this sentence in the Li family's library.

The previous sentence was: Heaven will not let down those who work hard; if one sleeps on firewood and eats courage, three thousand soldiers of Yue can defeat Wu.

The two are mentioned respectively are Gou Jian and Xiang Yu.

The book records that there was an old scholar who liked to tell ghost stories. He failed in the imperial examinations many times and wrote down these words to encourage himself.

As for the Li family library, no one except the main branch of the Li family was allowed to enter and read.

He was able to go in because he was young and Li Jidao's father liked him very much, so he carried him to the first floor.

There were no metaphysical books there, only miscellaneous stories.

He has a good memory and saw it by accident.

Not only are the Li family's books not passed on to outsiders, but even if you read them and memorized them, you would not be able to speak or write when you wanted to. You simply could not pass them on.

This sentence has definitely never been spread before.

Why would she?

"Axing?" Chang Sunzhan said, "We will stay in Tongguan and wait for the reply tomorrow before going to Chang'an."

Although Song Jie was young, he was a vassal king after all. He needed the emperor's handwritten order to go to the capital, and he had to follow the arrangements from above as to how many people he could bring with him.

Now, most of his guards are not allowed to enter Tongguan and can only stay outside the pass.

Since ancient times, taking Tongguan was equivalent to taking Chang'an, and the garrison of Tongguan was very wary of them.

Song Jie said: "Arrange an elegant residence for Madam Feng."

You have already told everyone this along the way. What is elegant? Song Jie likes elegance the most. Speaking of elegance, it means to arrange it next to him.

Zhang Sunzhan couldn't help asking, "Ah Xing, why are you so kind to Madam Feng? What's so special about her? Are you relatives?"

Song Jie looked at Changsun Zhan: "No, I just want to get close to you."

Chang Sun Zhan frowned: "Want to get close? Then why don't you get close to my mother and sisters?"

Song Jie smiled, looked at Changsun Zhan meaningfully, and went straight into the city.

Not long after Feng Ying and his team entered the city, Li Zhengchun and his team caught up.

In fact, Li Zhengchun and his friends came several times during this month, but Feng Ying did not meet them.

This time it was different, not only Li Zhengchun and his men came, but also the eldest son Li Zhengjiang and the second son Li Zhenghe.

He also brought a member of his tribe with him, saying he was there to pick them up.
