Chapter 227 Zhao Xiaowan (Nuclear Energy in This Chapter)
Li Banfeng sat on a chair, the shadow of his hat covering his face.
The man in front of him, Luo Zhengnan, told part of the truth and part of the lies.
The lies were easy to distinguish. He said he only brought two subordinates with him, but in fact there were more than two.
Sun Xiaoan, the second helm of Yaowangtang, was selling groceries in the fort, but Luo Zhengnan did not tell him.
The truth was not easy to distinguish, but there were a few words that were indeed correct.
If he could get into Tiemen Fort, others could also get in.
Zhao Xiaowan, the house spirit, was obviously a beggar. Once the news spread, Tiemen Fort was destined to become Xuemen Fort.
But what should be done about this matter?
It was not difficult to send Luo Zhengnan away, and it was not difficult to send Jiang Xiangbang away, but Zhao Xiaowan was so strong that even his wife might not be her opponent. Li Banfeng could not deal with her at will.
After sitting in silence for a while, Li Banfeng said to Luo Zhengnan: "Please come back in three days, and I will give you an answer then."
"I'll wait for your news." Luo Zhengnan stood up and said goodbye.
Li Banfeng reminded: "Take all your people away, not just the two vegetable sellers. If you don't leave now, I will send them away later."
Luo Zhengnan was stunned. He didn't expect Li Banfeng to find other people. He clasped his fists again and saluted, and left the house first.
He walked around the street, and the three people who followed him understood what he meant and left Tiemenbao separately.
This is how smart people deal with each other. The matter has been pointed out, and no one should be hypocritical.
...
Late at night, the gate of the fort was closed, and Li Banfeng asked Wu Yongchao: "Do you know who Zhao Xiaowan is?"
"I know! Flying General Zhao Xiaowan, a long spear to rule the country!" Speaking of Zhao Xiaowan, Wu Yongchao was very excited!
"When was she born?"
"She was from ancient times. If you want to know which dynasty, there is no evidence to prove it."
"How do you know this general? Isn't it from history books?"
"This..."
This is hard to explain.
Wu Yongchao went to school, but the school he went to didn't teach history.
There is no place to systematically study history in the whole of Pro Province. Most history books are hidden in the hands of famous families. Occasionally there are one or two on the market. They are not only extremely rare, but also difficult to distinguish between true and false.
How did Wu Yongchao know Zhao Xiaowan?
This origin is even more complicated.
The legendary Zhao Xiaowan was once a famous general of a certain dynasty in Pro Province. She led tens of thousands of troops and defeated the demons who invaded Pro Province. There are many stories about her.
Zhao Xiaowan is in the books and articles of storytellers, and Zhao Xiaowan is also in the plays of big and small theaters.
The masterpieces of famous dancers in the dance hall, the sad songs of the girls in the tile kiln, the famous works serialized in newspapers, the storybooks on the street stalls, wherever there are stories, there is Zhao Xiaowan.
"Zhao Xiaowan is superb in martial arts and extremely beautiful. If she comes to the front, the battle will be won without fighting."
Li Banfeng was stunned: "How to win without fighting?"
Wu Yongchao slapped the table, as if a storyteller slapped the gavel, and said with a focused face: "Half of them were fascinated by Miss Zhao, and half of them were scared to death by General Zhao!"
Li Banfeng didn't know how to describe it.
Seeing that Li Banfeng didn't believe it, Wu Yongchao was unhappy.
Zhao Xiaowan was an existence that could not be desecrated for Wu Yongchao.
"Lord, I'm not just making this up. I have evidence."
Li Banfeng's eyes lit up: "What evidence?"
"Wait."
Wu Yongchao went back to the house. Not long after, he came back with a wicker box:
"Lord, take a look."
He opened the box carefully. Inside, there were sixteen novels and more than fifty portraits, divided into categories.
Li Banfeng unfolded a portrait and said, "Is this Zhao Xiaowan?"
Wu Yongchao nodded solemnly.
Li Banfeng flipped through more than fifty portraits one by one. There were more than fifty "Zhao Xiaowans" with different looks, makeup, clothes and body shapes.
"Is this the same person?"
Wu Yongchao didn't say anything. His expression was not right.
Li Banfeng didn't ask any more questions. He realized that he had said the wrong thing.
For a home repairer like Wu Yongchao, some things are unquestionable.
Li Banfeng flipped through the paintings carefully for a long time and finally found a common point in these paintings.
Whether in the boudoir or on the battlefield, whether in military uniform or in beautiful clothes, all "Zhao Xiaowan" have a red tassel spear beside them.
"This is Xiaowan's weapon," Wu Yongchao introduced carefully, "The spear is 12 feet long, the spear tip is 7.7 inches, the red tassel rises with the wind, who can match the flying general?
The flying general is here, the red tassel is here, the red tassel is here, the bandits are terrified, Zhao Xiaowan and the red tassel spear are inseparable."
"Good jingle!" Li Banfeng praised, it is rare to see Wu Yongchao show his eloquence.
Zhao Xiaowan and the red tassel spear are inseparable.
Is this why she turned into a red tassel spear after her death?
It should be said that among the more than 50 scrolls, only this long spear is similar.
The function of the scroll is limited to this, and it is too difficult to judge Zhao Xiaowan's appearance through the scroll.
Li Banfeng looked at the dozen novels: "Can I borrow these books to read for two days?"
Wu Yongchao was a little embarrassed: "The fortress wants to borrow them, and I shouldn't be vague, but I'm afraid that the fortress will not take good care of them..."
"Don't worry, if the corners are folded or the pages are damaged, I will compensate you with a new one."
Wu Yongchao lowered his head and said: "These books are not easy to buy, the fortress should be careful."
The books were left, and Wu Yongchao left.
Li Banfeng opened more than a dozen novels and read them one by one.
It must be said that these writers have very good writing skills. He sat in the room and read for several hours without feeling bored.
But the key information he wanted to find was not mentioned in these books.
Li Banfeng could not find the dynasty in which Zhao Xiaowan lived. He only knew that she fought for Pro Province.
Pro Province at that time still had an emperor, but it was only mentioned briefly in the novel.
The enemy she faced was called the Demonic Earth People, which was the part that Li Banfeng was most concerned about.
If Zhao Xiaowan was the mortal enemy of my wife during her lifetime, then my wife might be a Demonic Earth People.
But seeing the description of the Demonic Earth People in the book, Li Banfeng found it difficult to connect my wife with them.
"He is ten feet tall, his waist is ten times wider, his beard and hair are thick, and he can't tell whether he is male or female..."
Could it be that...
Li Banfeng shook off the shadow in his mind and continued to look for Zhao Xiaowan's ending in the book.
In these sixteen novels, Zhao Xiaowan has three endings in total.
One ending is the most common. After Zhao Xiaowan defeated the Demonic Landmen, she was adopted by the emperor as a daughter, became a princess, found a consort, and lived a happy life.
Nine novels have this ending, more than half.
The second ending is that the Demonic Landmen temporarily retreated, and Zhao Xiaowan stayed at the border and fought against the Demonic Landmen for her whole life.
A total of six books used this ending. According to Li Banfeng's speculation, this is Wu Yongchao's favorite ending. The basis for the speculation is that these six books have been read to pieces. The reason why Wu Yongchao likes it so much is probably because there is no consort in this ending.
The third ending is miserable. There are many watermarks on the paper, which should be the tears shed by Wu Yongchao.
Only one book used this ending, which tells the story that after Zhao Xiaowan defeated the Demonic Landmen, she was suspected by the court because of her great achievements, and was framed and imprisoned, suffering insults and torture.
Then the demons attacked again, and the emperor shamelessly asked Zhao Xiaowan to fight again. Zhao Xiaowan put her country first and went to war again, and finally died on the battlefield.
This ending is not a good one. Li Banfeng thinks this is probably the closest to Zhao Xiaowan's real situation.
After putting away the novel, Li Banfeng returned to Suishenju.
After all, the one who knows Zhao Xiaowan's identity best is my wife.
There are some things my wife doesn't want to say, but there is one thing I must ask my wife for confirmation.
Li Banfeng entered Suishenju, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Madam, have you heard of the name Zhao Xiaowan?"
Chichi~
The record player was silent for a moment, and asked: "Husband, why do you suddenly ask about this person?"
Li Banfeng told the truth: "I suspect that the fierce house spirit in the annex building is Zhao Xiaowan."
Da Da Da, hey~
The wife beat the slow tempo and sang slowly: "Hey, husband, what do you want to do with that house spirit?"
Li Banfeng said: "I want to collect that house spirit."
"Collect? How can I collect her?"
"I want to call her name in person," Li Banfeng said his plan, "I am a house repairman, I can call her in person 's name, as long as she doesn't resist, it's equivalent to reaching a contract with me, as long as the house doesn't object, he will become my house spirit. "
Squeak~
The wife laughed and said, "My husband, do you dislike me and want to recognize her as the house spirit?"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I recognize her as the house spirit and bring her back to the house. We can definitely kill her together as a couple."
"Why does my husband want to kill her?"
Li Banfeng said, "Because she is my wife's enemy, this revenge must be avenged. While I am still in Tiemenbao, I will help my wife fulfill this wish."
Squeak~
The fire was blazing, the steam was lingering, and the record player turned the speaker and stared at Li Banfeng.
She was observing whether Li Banfeng was telling the truth.
Li Banfeng was indeed telling the truth.
He wanted to take Zhao Xiaowan in. On the one hand, he didn't want this house spirit to bring disaster, and on the other hand, he really wanted to avenge his wife.
No matter how relieved the wife was, the revenge for the murder must be avenged.
The wife was silent for a long time, and the big speaker shook left and right.
The needle was placed on the record, and a tender song "My Darling" slowly sounded.
The lady sang and said (she had two trays):
"My dear husband, I am grateful for your kindness. I entrust my life to you and am willing to serve you for the rest of my life.
But revenge is not the right time now. The house spirit is blind and deaf. Even if you read her name, how can she hear it?
Moreover, the house spirit must be willing to recognize the master. The house spirit is very resentful. If you are not careful and anger her, you will not be able to escape unscathed."
Li Banfeng Said: "The owner of the house spirit just died. While she is feeling empty inside, I will take her in. Isn't it the right time?"
Squeak~
The record player laughed: "My husband, what you said makes me jealous. Even if that bitch agrees, my husband and the annex building are not compatible yet, and I may not be able to bring that bitch out.
My husband, you are my sweetheart. If you make a mistake, I don't want to live alone in the world. Let's put this matter aside for now."
My wife wants to let it go, but can Jiang Xiangbang let it go?
Li Banfeng sighed and left Suishenju.
"Hahahahaha!" A hearty laugh suddenly came from the sixth room.
"Bitch, what are you laughing at?" The record player cursed.
Honglian laughed so hard that her whole body trembled and her body was covered with dew.
...
Jiang Xiangbang couldn't let it go, but Luo Zhengnan could.
He was not as stubborn as Xiao Zhenggong.
His idea was that if the fort owner was willing to sell Zhao Xiaowan, he would pay for her. If the fort owner was unwilling to sell her, he would just leave it at that and think that he had come here for nothing.
He was an open-minded person. He would just try his best and would never risk his life.
But He Jiaqing was not so open-minded.
The fortune teller sent him a message that Luo Zhengnan had sneaked into Tiemen Fort.
"No, Luo Zhengnan is a man who can accomplish things!" He Jiaqing immediately became nervous, "We can't wait any longer, Lao Wan, go to Donggang Village and find a man named Han Juncheng,
He is a sixth-level house cultivator, you find a way to bring him into Tiemenbao and bring Zhao Xiaowan out."
The fortune teller was a little worried: "Zhao Xiaowan is not an ordinary person, relying on a sixth-level house cultivator alone, I'm afraid it's not safe enough."
He Jiaqing said: "I know it's not safe, so I haven't let him take action, but now the situation is urgent and I can't take care of so many things,
Han Juncheng is arrogant, his words are annoying, and he has no experience in doing things. You should be more accommodating to him,
He is my hidden chess piece for many years, and he will be of great use in the future. Don't bother with him about small things, and take care of him more about big things. After the matter is done, you take your things and leave Pro Province immediately. He is still in Tiemenbao."
PS: What is Honglian laughing at?
