  Zhang Zhun rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Have you seen Erlang True Lord?"

  The white-clothed woman said innocently, "There are illustrations in the book! I remember it clearly, the illustrations in the book look just like you - so tall and majestic, so powerful, and yet... so adorable."

  Got it, Zhang Zhun was defeated again.

  Even lovely adjectives like "cute" have fallen on myself.

  Yang Yinghua had never read "Journey to the West", and wasn't very clear about who Erlang Shen was, so she asked curiously: "Miss, where are you from? How did you end up here?"

  The woman in white said: "We are from Hangzhou Prefecture..."

  The woman in red suddenly coughed and interrupted, "Xiao Ying, don't talk nonsense."

  The woman in white immediately shut her mouth, but a pair of round eyes actually made a ghostly face with Zhang Zhun.

  Zhang Zhun's originally tense face involuntarily melted away.

  The woman in red is quite annoying, while the woman in white is lively and lovely, no wonder she likes to read "Journey to the West" like a forbidden book.

  In the Ming Dynasty, wanting to see "Journey to the West" wasn't that easy, you had to have some connections. The reason was simple, because "Journey to the West" was a banned book. If people were asked to choose which book between "Journey to the West" and "Plum in the Golden Vase" was banned, many would probably choose "Plum in the Golden Vase", but actually, the real banned book was "Journey to the West".

  By the way, "Journey to the West" was probably written around the time of Chenghua and was listed as a banned book during the Jiajing period. The reason is simple: there is an episode in the book where Tang Seng and his four disciples once went to a place called Chechi Country, where the emperor advocated Taoism, believed in becoming immortal, and produced several evil Taoist priests like Hu Li Da Shi, who were eventually cleaned up by Sun Wukong and sent to see King Yan.

  By now, you should understand why it was banned. This kind of verbal abuse without using profanity has been around for a long time. The Jiajing Emperor was the most devoted to Taoism, and the treacherous official Yan Song rose to power by writing " Qing Ci". There were also several people like Hu Li Da Shi. And that famous phrase "The emperor's throne is rotated, next year it will be my turn", apart from Sun Wukong, I guess no one else dared to say it.

  The author's note: Qing Ci, a congratulatory phrase written by the Jiajing Emperor specifically for the gods. Because it was written on green-colored stationery, it is called Qing Ci. It has been lost to this day. According to legend, its language is extremely elegant and delightful to read, as if one were about to become an immortal. Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and other high-ranking officials were all masters of writing Qing Ci, but Zhang Juzheng had not yet had the opportunity at that time.

  Zhang nodded thoughtfully and said: "To rely on a small boat to travel from Hangzhou Prefecture all the way to Shandong is indeed quite an achievement!"

  The woman in white clothes pouted slightly and seemed to want to explain, saying: "We are not..."

  The woman in red coughed again, interrupting the white-clad woman's speech. "Xiao Ying, I told you not to talk nonsense!"

  The woman in white could only helplessly stick out her tongue, but then made a ghostly face at Zhang Zhun, as if to say that it wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but the woman in red wouldn't let her. She was afraid of the woman in red and so didn't dare speak.

  Zhang nodded slightly with a faint smile, indicating understanding.

  The woman in white clothes became more and more lovely, pouting her small mouth, then gave Zhang Zhun a bright and charming glance, as if to say, you are really a good person. The implication was that Zhang Zhun was a good person, so the red-clothed woman was naturally not a good person.

  Zhang Zhun turned his head and glanced at the woman in red, saying calmly: "Since nothing can be revealed, then let's part ways for now."

  Having said that, he nodded at Yang Yinghua and turned around to leave.

  Yang Yinghua said with some worry: "Yu Lin, they..."

  Save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, Zhang Zhun just left like this, ignoring the two of them?

  "Others can come from Hangzhou Prefecture to here, it's clear that they have great abilities. Now that we've landed, even if there are huge difficulties, they're not a problem. Others look down on us, why should we stay here?"

  Yang Yinghua nodded and followed Zhang Zhun out.

  The woman in red saw Zhang Zhun leave, feeling a bit stunned and tense. After a moment of silence, she had to call out reluctantly from behind: "You... please stay!"

  Zhang continued walking forward without stopping.

  Yang Yinghua's kindness overflowed, she stopped in her tracks, turned around and said: "What do you want to ask?"

  The woman in red pressed her lips together, seemingly unwilling to speak, yet forced herself to say: "Where is this place in Shandong?"

  Yang Yingwan said: "The floating mountain in front of Ao Shan Wei."

  The woman in red's face suddenly turned pale, and she seemed to want to speak but hesitated.

  Yang Yinghua saw that she had nothing to say and turned around to leave.

  The woman in red suddenly caught up two steps, suddenly felt inappropriate, and hastily stopped her footsteps, saying with difficulty: "You... Miss!"

  Yang Yinghua stopped again and turned around.

  The woman in red took a deep breath and tried to calm her emotions as much as possible, saying slowly: "Miss, what's your name?"

  Yang Yingwan mentioned her own name and Zhang Zhun's name.

  The woman in red took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Yang Yinghua, saying in a low voice: "Miss Yang, can you help us with something? This jade pendant is still worth some money, consider it your reward."

  Yang Yinghua pushed away her jade pendant and said somewhat unhappily: "What do you want me to help with? I don't want your jade pendant."

  The woman in red looked at Zhang Zhun with expectant eyes, which then fell on Yang Yingwa's body, her bright eyes moving constantly. Apparently, she realized that Zhang Zhun was not easy to get along with, and the things she hoped for could only be resolved through Yang Yingwa. She was silent for a moment before saying, "Can we stay here with you for a while?"

  Yang Yinghua looked at Zhang Zhun.

  Zhang Zhun had nothing to say.

  Yang Yinghua said: "It's no problem to stay, it's just... we are all poor military dependents, our homes are all thatched cottages... I'm afraid you won't be used to living here..."

  Anyone with eyes can see that the two women are not from poor families, they must be of high status. Even if Yangjia Village has made a lot of money from salt production, there is no woman who can wear their clothes. The fabric and workmanship of their clothes are extremely good, only big cities can do it. It's already strange that they drifted from Hangzhou Prefecture to here, and it's even stranger that they want to stay here.

  The woman in red hastily said: "There is no problem with the thatched cottage."

  Yang Yinghua looked at Zhang Zhun again. Her loving heart had already thought of taking them in, but the Yang family village did not allow strangers to enter, and all personnel entering had to undergo inspection by the guard team, so Yang Yinghua dared not act on her own initiative.

  Zhang said expressionlessly: "Report your name, origin and identity. We don't want people with unknown origins living here."

  The woman in red's face suddenly turned pale.

  Yang Yinghua felt that Zhang Zhun's words made sense and naturally wouldn't let go.

  The woman in red bit her lip, seemingly reluctant to tell Zhang Zhun her name.

  Zhang Zhun said indifferently: "You don't even dare to tell people your own name, how can we dare to ask you to stay?"

  "You!"

  The woman in red was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and she wanted to speak but stopped herself.

  Zhang Zhun didn't bother saying more and pulled Yang Yinghua away with him.

  The woman in red could only grit her teeth and say: "Wait. My name is Xue Zhi Die, and this is my sister Xue Ning Ying. We are both from Hangzhou Prefecture. We encountered pirates at sea, fell into the water, and drifted here on a wooden board."

  "Pirate?"

  Zhang Zhun subtly furrowed his brow.

  He has been in Fushan for some time and has never heard anyone say that there are pirates in the nearby waters. Where pirates appear, there should be rich waters, but now the entire Shandong coastal area is poor to death, all of them are starving military households with dim eyes, what are pirates doing here? Drinking northwest wind?

  Zhang Zhun's eyes shone brightly as he stared at the woman in red, asking slowly: "Where did you encounter the pirates?"

  Xue Zhi Die said somewhat unnaturally: "I don't know. Anyway, we've been drifting at sea for several days now."

  Zhang nodded silently and expressionlessly.

  He didn't actually believe the red-clothed woman's words. If there were really pirates, the two of them wouldn't be able to escape on a small boat. The red-clothed woman had a fiery temper and wasn't very good at lying. Zhang Zhun was a discerning person who could see through her tricks with one glance. Of course, he didn't need to expose her, he just didn't like the way she looked down on others. He believed that after some training, she would improve.

  Taming...

  What an evil thought.

  Yang Yinghua looked at Zhang Zhun, waiting for him to make a decision.

  Zhang Zhun hesitated for a moment, then said: "You want to come down here with us, no problem, but I hope you all put away your original nature and cooperate with us as much as possible. Otherwise, even if you stay, we will drive you away."

  The woman in red suddenly became somewhat indignant and said huffily: "What's wrong with me? I didn't offend you!"

  Zhang Zhun bluntly said: "I don't like your fierce look! As a woman, be gentle!"

  The woman in red suddenly flew into a rage and shouted angrily: "I'm just not gentle, what's it to you?"

  "Believe it or not, I'll throw you back into the ocean again," Zhang said coldly.

  The woman in red was so angry that her whole body was shaking, her full breasts were about to burst out of her torn clothes, and her eyes turned red.

  Zhang's two hands were clasped together, his fingers bent with force, and the joints of his fingers suddenly made a loud cracking sound. On this empty beach, it sounded particularly loud. His action was very simple: if you didn't listen, he would really throw you back into the sea.

  The woman in red suddenly changed her expression, and the words that had reached her lips retreated back into her mouth.

  She decided it was pointless to talk to such a barbarian again, too terrifying, simply a violent maniac.

  The woman in white looked at Zhang Zhun, then at the woman in red, and said pitifully: "Big brother, don't bully my aunt, okay? She's not really like this, she's actually the most beautiful and gentle woman in the world, it's just that she's gone through a series of misfortunes, that's why she's become like this..."

  The woman in red suddenly shouted: "Xiao Ying, shut up! This is no place for you to speak!"

  Zhang Zhun slowly loosened his grip, and coldly said: "I don't care what happened to you in the past, but in our Yangjiatun, you must listen! Now that it's chaotic outside with soldiers and horses, if you want to go out and make a name for yourself, be my guest!"
