Chapter 19: Famous Biography (Part 1)
Zhang Xuanning was extremely cautious in his actions. He first stayed in the countryside for ten days to recuperate from his injuries and avoid the limelight. Even a fool would know that the people last time were government officials, so why not avoid their spotlight?
Ten days later, Zhang Xuanning arrived at the city gate and saw a lot of noise outside the city gate. He went forward and saw his own face pasted on the city gate.
"The traitor is so cruel that he massacred the whole village. Anyone can kill him and there will be a reward of 100 taels of silver." This is the general meaning. There are twelve charges, including killing the villagers yesterday and even raping women.
Looking at the level of the arrest warrant, it was actually issued directly from the county government. Although Zhang Xuanning had been mentally prepared, he still panicked. He knew that he had no time to even look at the boat at the dock - the government troops must be waiting there.
But at this moment, Zhang Xuanning felt a pat on his shoulder. He was shocked. He had made some achievements in his practice, but he was patted silently like this.
Holding the hilt of the knife, he turned around and found that it was Li Bo.
"It's you, sir." Although he bowed, Zhang Xuanning was shocked in his heart and felt very wary of him. This person was hiding his spiritual perception, and his cultivation was truly unfathomable and profound. Moreover, it seemed that his whereabouts were always in the hands of this person.
"Come here, it's not very convenient here, let's talk outside."
"I will obey my uncle's orders." Zhang Xuan looked happy and walked slowly with him, neither hurried nor slow. He did not take the arrest warrant to heart. Ten days ago, he had killed a government soldier and five government cavalrymen. If he were a mortal, he would have been sentenced to death without pardon. However, he had martial arts skills and broke the law with force. As long as the government did not summon experts and there was no army to besiege him, what was wrong with him strolling in the street?
If any ignorant common people recognized him and came to make trouble, he would be killed with a single blow.
"Have you killed Kou Zhong?"
"Yes, he has been killed." Zhang Xuanning said without any hesitation: "It's a pity that he was involved in the struggle between the government officials. It's very troublesome."
"When God bestows a great responsibility on a man, he will surely make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and empty, and his actions confused. So he will be moved and patient, and increase his ability - this is what it means that hardships will make you successful. You have inherited Kou Zhong's luck, so naturally you will also inherit his training." Li Bo smiled and said, "I have taken blood and hair from you two in advance. I thought changing your star destiny would be extremely difficult, but I didn't expect it to happen naturally without any effort. This must be God's will."
"What about Xu Ziling?"
"Hmph, you killed Kou Zhong, which triggered the will of heaven. The destiny started moving ahead of schedule. You know, Xu Ziling has disappeared, and my magic can no longer be used to investigate. Not only that, the same goes for other people." Li Bo shook his head and sighed.
"Xu Ziling, you are just a small fry. Even if the secret of heaven is activated, how can you attract people's attention out of thin air?" Zhang Xuanning was shocked when he heard this. With his wisdom, he knew that for the secret of heaven to be activated, there must be some basis for it and it would not come out of nothing.
"This is your own fault. Do you know that you are now famous throughout Jiangnan?"
"Killing a few soldiers is nothing nowadays. How can you be famous in Jiangnan?" Zhang Xuanning was very surprised. He said that although it was not a completely chaotic world now, killing a few people was really nothing. How could you be famous in the south?
"I didn't kill any petty officials or soldiers, but it was all thanks to your poem "Drinking under the Moon". This is a line that will be remembered for thousands of years. Once it is published, it will spread all over the world. Now you are famous, and one of your lines also made me, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and the other two famous. Therefore, it is natural that we have attracted attention."
"Huang Guanzi, tell Kou Xu to drink, don't stop." Zhang Xuanning suddenly realized and recited silently. His face suddenly turned ugly. He had never expected that in this world, being a scholar is a privilege for a few people, while a good article or poem can become famous all over the world.
Back then, the story of paper being in great demand in Luoyang was about Zuo Si of the Jin Dynasty, who wrote Fu of the Three Capitals. Once the work was published, he went from being an unknown person to a famous writer. People who loved Fu of the Three Capitals rushed to copy it. As there were so many people copying it, the demand for paper in the capital city of Luoyang exceeded the supply, and the price of paper in the whole city rose sharply for a time.
I didn't expect that I would do the same thing.
"You killed a few soldiers and officials, which is nothing. With the strength of your gang, it is more than enough to protect them. Unfortunately, your reputation has spread to the south and thousands of people are paying attention to you. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the gang to protect you. I have learned that your gang leader intends to keep you out of the limelight and you don't need to show up in Yangzhou for a year or so." Li Bo glanced at him and said, "If you are willing to wait, I believe someone in the gang will contact you and say the above. However, I don't recommend you to wait, because their whereabouts are not a secret, and there are too many people following them. If you wait, there will be twists and turns."
Just because he killed a few soldiers, did he have to abandon the foundation he had built and become a fugitive? This little luck was too strong. Zhang Xuanning was really depressed. He had thought that after two years, he could take over the power of the gang once the gang leader died!
If I leave now, although all my efforts will not be wasted, it will be a failure. It will be much more difficult to rebuild the old country in the future, not to mention the strategic time wasted and delayed.
If we don't gather a group of elite soldiers and generals in these two years, how will we develop in the future? The world only has the opportunity and time to develop in these few years!
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had proceeded step by step, might he have been able to plan and accumulate strength? With the knowledge he had of some things in mind, he could have started a rebellion and become king, standing alongside other heroes. For this illusory destiny, it would have been fine if he had killed Kou Zhong, but it was hard to say whether it was right or wrong to destroy the overall plan for this.
However, he is a resolute and resolute person. Although he has doubts and regrets in his heart, he will not truly regret it. He has done it. A real man will advance and never retreat. He can only fight his way out.
"Uncle, you said that I have become famous in Jiangnan for my poetry, right?" Zhang Xuanning sneered.
"good."
"Now that it has come to this, it's too late to regret. I might as well do something better. Uncle, I have a new poem. Please publish it to the world to spread my name." Zhang Xuanning said after pondering for a moment.
"I would like to hear it."
"When I was fifteen or twenty, I captured the horses of the Hu people on foot. I shot and killed the white-browed tiger in Zhongshan, and only a few young men from Yangzhou could do that. I have fought in battles over three thousand miles, and my sword can defeat a million soldiers. I wish to bend my bow and shoot the generals in the sky, and break through the army at night. Don't ask where the hero comes from, as he should win merits in a hundred battles."
"I have fought in many battles over three thousand miles, and my sword is as powerful as a million soldiers! No matter where a hero comes from, he must fight in a hundred battles to gain honors." Li Bo's face changed color. These two sentences really show great passion, great ambition and great courage.
Now that his reputation has been exposed, he can no longer make secret plans. He might as well go out and fight in the world, gain fame and promote his own talents and prestige.
This world is not the real . If your martial arts and literary talent are famous throughout the world, you can naturally recruit talents and gather followers. In this case, you should not be afraid of life or death, and embark on a journey of unbridled passion in the world of martial arts!
"Extraordinary people have extraordinary deeds! I really believe it! Your grandfather and your father can be comforted in the afterlife by having such a son." Li Bo saw that he was just a teenager, holding a long sword, and had the spirit to fight against the world. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and took out a book: "This is the Huangguan Sutra I learned. You can learn it. The world is so big, and there are only a few people who can match you. I must believe it!"
