Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again
Chapter 223 Confession
The setting sun shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled spots of light on the forest path.
The beautiful profile of the girl beside him was illuminated by the light spot for a moment, and then fell into darkness for a moment, as if the two sides of a person were fully revealed as she walked in the light and darkness. Gong Yuanzheng was so engrossed in watching that he kicked something with his foot and stumbled.
He was busy covering up, his mind was racing, and a question popped out: "Zhao Zhao, what's your real name?"
Privately, it doesn’t matter what Zhang Xueming’s real name is. Gong Yuanzheng likes to call her by her nickname Zhaozhao.
Even though Zhang Xueming had never revealed his real name to him before, that was also because he didn't ask.
His Zhao Zhao was not his enemy, had no ill will or calculation towards him and his brother, had never concealed his true nature in front of him, and was kind to him from the bottom of his heart... It was enough for him to be sure of this, and everything else was trivial and unimportant.
"In the Zhang family, I am Zhang Xueming, the fifth daughter of the third branch of the direct line. Xue is my generation name, and Ming is taken from the Book of Changes, Xici Shang, 'The crane sings in the shade, and its offspring sings with it.'"
In the silent woods, Zhang Xueming spoke slowly and calmly.
“This was my father’s best wish for me. He hoped that I could be a sincere person, resonate with others, and reach a state where I could move all things in the world and return to goodness.
But I never expected that I would be the one with the best talent for martial arts in the Zhang family. When I grew up, I would be good at using fists and swords to eliminate the evil barbarians and scoundrels and solve the problems at the root.
When I had my coming-of-age ceremony, my old grandfather gave me a name, Jingrong, hoping that I would have a bright future like the sun and be tolerant to others. He also meant to advise me not to push myself too hard and learn so many strange skills that I would look inferior to the other kids in the clan.
But my family and close friends are still used to calling me Zhao Zhao."
Gong Yuanzheng was amused, but after laughing a little, he said to her seriously, "I think Uncle Zhang was right to name Zhao Zhao. Zhao Zhao is a sincere person, and he lives up to his name. If someone treats you with sincerity, you should return it with sincerity. As for those who are unwilling to treat you with sincerity, it is unreasonable for them to ask you to treat them with sincerity. Zhao Zhao should ignore it."
Zhang Xueming was slightly startled, then she held his hand tightly and smiled sweetly and gently: "I'm so happy to hear A Yuan say that."
She told Gong Yuanzheng: "In the Zheng family, my name is Zheng Nanxian. Nan is my generation name, and Xian is taken from 'hearing the string music and knowing the elegant meaning'. My father hopes that I will be a person who is good at reasoning and speculation, and can see through people's hearts through the surface."
"Master Zheng is very foresighted," Gong Yuanzheng commented, and then asked, "You said your subordinates dismantled your yard at the Zheng family and moved it here. Master Zheng, don't you object?"
Zhang Xueming used his consciousness to monitor the surroundings and whispered, "In fact, before the palace wedding procession arrived at my house, the Zheng family had already evacuated and rushed to the northern border. Calculating the time, they are about to enter the control area of the Zhang family."
She sighed, "There's no other way. If I don't leave now, Wu Feng will start to attack. I don't have three heads and six arms, and I can't keep gathering people at the Zheng family to protect them.
My father is old now, and his strength is not as good as it used to be. Moreover, he is omnipresent and can attack the elderly, the weak, women and children, making it impossible to defend against him.
When the Zheng family was prosperous, it was a large clan with more than 400 people. When we evacuated Hunyuan, including my father’s new disciples, there were less than 60 people. "
Gong Yuanzheng was fully aware of Wu Feng's cruelty and insidiousness. His handsome features were gloomy. He gritted his teeth in hatred, and said, "They are just a bunch of rats who are afraid of the light. Sooner or later, we will settle accounts with them."
Zhang Xueming thought about it and decided to tell him about Zheng Nanyiyi's story as well. To be honest, he didn't want to lay a mine in the confession section to avoid hurting feelings when it explodes in the future.
"I returned to the Zheng family more than half a year ago. It was not my wish that I would take over the position of the head of the Zheng family. It was because of Zheng Nanyi."
Gong Yuanzheng was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Did she do something bad and implicate you?"
Zhang Xueming said expressionlessly: "Before I went back to the Zheng family to recognize my relatives, Zheng Nanyi went out and met a jackdaw from Wufeng. The other party probably had been eyeing her for a long time and deliberately set up a hero-saving-beauty situation for her.
Zheng Nanyi took the bait. Fearing that his father would stop him, he ran off with the man under the pretext of going to the temple to pray for blessings for his mother and brother's death anniversary. For the so-called love, he said, "I'm going to the temple to pray for blessings for my mother and brother's death anniversary."
"Love? Is she crazy?! That's Wu Feng's man, they have a deep blood feud, how dare she, how could she... Wu Feng didn't kill her, it's obvious that he was planning to use her to control Sect Leader Zheng, can't she see that clearly?" Gong Yuanzheng was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. Under normal circumstances, "idiot" would be too light an insult.
"Who knows what she's thinking." Zhang Xueming snorted and laughed, "The most ridiculous thing is that she has been hanging around Wufeng for more than half a year, but she hasn't obtained any useful information, and her martial arts and scheming haven't improved. Even the Chi-level token was given to her by that Jackdaw.
Ah Yuan, can you believe this? She joined Wufeng and had never killed anyone, but Wufeng sent her out to do a mission, a mission to die to cover for others, and she actually agreed to it and really ran back to the Zheng family. "
"You are such a great sister..." Gong Yuanzheng raised his hand to cover his forehead, convinced. The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things, why did he and Zhang Xueming encounter all these strange things?
"No, no, just say her name, otherwise I feel like I'm being scolded." Zhang Xueming waved his hand.
Gong Yuanzheng suddenly had an idea: "Did Zheng Nanyi come back to the palace to select a bride?"
"Yes, her mission overlaps with that of Wufeng's Chi-level Cheng Angyun. They are both supposed to cover for the Mei-level assassin named Shangguan Qian. I don't know if Wufeng was being stupid again, or if it was just the selfish motive of that Jackdaw. I'm more inclined to the latter."
Gong Yuanzheng raised the corner of his mouth mockingly: "She abandoned her relatives and family for love, but was pushed out to die by the person she loved. Isn't it that she worked in vain?"
"My father quickly found out that Zheng Nanyi had run away with Wufeng's men. He had already prepared to evacuate his people and stay behind to fight Wufeng to the death.
It happened that I returned to the Zheng family. He observed me in various ways for a period of time and then readily gave me the position of head of the family, allowing me to use all the resources and manpower.
Since my father gave me everything I wanted and indulged me in every way, he personally disabled Zheng Nanyi's martial arts in front of me, broke her legs, imprisoned her in a secret room and drugged her every day. Finally, I fulfilled his wish and arranged for them to go to the northern border to avoid disaster, and let him take Zheng Nanyi away. "
Near the entrance of the secret passage, dense branches and leaves completely blocked out the sunset glow. The girl's face was immersed in darkness and her tone was meaningful.
"Father doesn't know that I'm the young master of the Zhang family, nor does he know that the descendants of the Northern Territory aristocratic families not only have to learn the ways of the aristocratic families, but also have to fight on the battlefield, regardless of gender."
Gong Yuanzheng understood that the reason why Zhang Xueming always called Master Zheng "father" was not necessarily to distinguish him from the one from the Zhang family.
His own daughter has become an assassin named Wufeng. How is Master Zheng going to explain this to his clansmen who have suffered from Wufeng's harm?
One is the daughter who has not been seen for more than ten years and has been well-educated by her maternal grandparents; the other is the daughter who has been raised at home and is useless but the owner has become accustomed to worrying about her. It is obvious who Master Zheng favors.
There is a genuine reason for letting Zhang Xueming be the head of the Zheng family, but it is mostly for exploitation.
Otherwise, would Zhang Xueming, who has become the young master of the number one family in the North, be interested in the position of the head of a declining martial arts family with a term limit of only a few months?
joke!
