Chapter 62 Storytelling

"Brother Shi, do you really want to help that Luo Zhubo solve the case?" Xue Shao asked Zhang Zong with some concern.

"I just help him with some advice. The real solution of the case depends on the people in their yamen." Zhang Zong stretched his waist and replied.

Luo Binwang just asked Zhang Zong for help, and he could hand over the case of the Ghost Case to Zhang Zong to check, hoping that he could find any clues from it. After thinking about this for a while, Zhang Zong finally nodded in agreement. Yu Li also thought about it as an addiction to detectives, and Yu Gong did not want such a cruel criminal to come out to harm others again.

Seeing Zhang Zong agreeing, Luo Binwang was also very happy. It was too late today, so he and Zhang Zong agreed that they would personally bring the case to their own party tomorrow, and then they would discuss the case together. Finally, Zhang Zong also sent him out in person. It was already midnight at this time. Such a big case had occurred, so Luo Binwang probably wouldn't even think about sleeping tonight.

"What if it's really a ghost who can eat people, Brother Shi, you're not afraid at all?" Xue Shao asked worriedly at this time. He had not received any materialistic ideas education. In fact, most people in this era are superstitious, and few people like Zhang Zong do not believe in the theory of ghosts at all.

"The most terrifying thing in this world is humans. I am not even afraid of humans, let alone ghosts!" Zhang Zong said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Xue Shao was confused when he heard Zhang Zong's words. After all, with his age and experience, it was too difficult to understand this sentence.

When she returned to the room, Xue Ning'er ran out immediately. Even with the maid, she was still scared. Moreover, Zhang Zong had promised to tell her a story before, but she was interrupted before she could tell her. She still remembered this.

"What story do you want to hear?" Zhang Zong did not forget to agree to Xue Ning'er, so he asked after coming in.

"Legend!" Xue Shao and Xue Ning'er replied almost in unison. A large number of legendary stories emerged in the Tang Dynasty, such as "The Ancient Mirror" and "The Legend of the White Ape". The people all loved these legendary stories very much, and even the original martial arts novels changed from Tang legends.

"No problem, today I will tell you a "Book of the Queer"!" Zhang Zong immediately picked out the legendary novel they must be interested in from his mind. Although "Book of the Queer" appeared in the Tang Dynasty, it actually appeared in the mid-Tang Dynasty, and there is no such story at all.

"When Sui Yang came to Jiangdu, Sikong Yang Su took over the power and lived a luxurious life. One day, the common scholar Li Jing asked to see Yang Su and offered his own military strategy. As a result, Yang Su was very cold to Li Jing and did not accept his military strategy..."

What Zhang Zong is not talking about the original "Biographies of the Curly Bearded Guest", but adds some plots he made up from it, making the whole story more complete and vivid. Moreover, the story involves real characters such as Yang Guang, Yang Su, Li Jing, and Li Shimin, which also makes the story more realistic.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xue Shao is Li Shimin's grandson. Now he hears his grandfather appearing in the story. Although Li Shimin in the story has not yet risen, he is already wise and powerful, making the bearded guest who is generous and generous, and has the heart to compete for the Central Plains to voluntarily give up his ambition to fight for hegemony. This is simply a flattery against Li Shimin. Of course, Xue Shao was overjoyed.

But it's a pity that although the legend of the Guest Beard is wonderful, it is too short. Even though Zhang Zong added many plots to it, it was still finished in less than half an hour. It was the first time Xue Shao discovered that Zhang Zong actually had such good eloquence and the story he told was unprecedented.

"Brother Shi said another one, this is too short!" Xue Ning'er also grabbed Zhang Zong's arm with her eyes lit up and shook her lightly. It was the first time she had heard such a wonderful story. She was a little sleepy just now, but now she is not sleepy at all.

"Okay, okay, let me think about it!" Zhang Zong had no choice but to agree. Since Xue Ning'er felt that the story was short, let's tell it a little longer.

"Well, then I will tell you a story about "The Legend of Yue Girl Sword"!" Zhang Zong suddenly had an idea and thought of a story. Although Yue Girl Sword is a short story by Jin Yong, it also has nearly 20,000 words. It also uses the help of historical background to tell a wonderful story. The most important thing is that the protagonist is a woman, and Xue Ning'er will definitely like it.

"Brother Shi, tell me!" Xue Ning'er diligently poured Zhang Zong a cup of tea and brought it to him, then held his cheeks and waited for Zhang Zong to tell a story. Xue Shao next to him suddenly became jealous. He told Xue Ning'er so many stories, but he never treated him like this.

Zhang Zong was not polite either. He took a teacup and took a sip of moistening his throat. Then he started to tell the story of Yue Nu Sword. The genre of the novel has been developing. Compared with the martial arts novels such as Yue Nu Sword, the legend of the Quebeard guest seemed a bit rough. Especially the beginning of the Yue Nu Sword is a tense competition between swordsmen of Wu and Yue, which immediately attracted people to the story.

Zhang Zong could not memorize every word for nearly 20,000 words of Yue Nu Jian, but he remembered the plot very clearly, so even if he used his own language to tell the whole story, it took him more than an hour in the end.

"A Qing is so powerful. Is there really such a powerful sword technique in this world?" Xue Ning'er's eyes lit up after hearing the story, and she grabbed Zhang Zong's arm and refused to let go.

"This is just a story, and it cannot be taken seriously. However, practicing martial arts can indeed strengthen the body and protect yourself when you encounter danger." Zhang Zong smiled and said. In this era of cold weapons, a trained martial arts master can indeed beat ten, but it is too fantasy to lose three thousand per person like Ah Qing.

"I don't care. I want to practice martial arts. If I can be as powerful as Ah Qing, I will see if Taiping dares to bully me!" Xue Ning'er suddenly stood up and said loudly, even while waving the sword, as if she was competing with Taiping in her fantasy.

"It's over, my Ning'er wants to practice martial arts. How can you be a lady in the future?" Xue Shao couldn't help but cover his face and said, Ning'er has been very quiet since she was a child, but now she has just heard a story, but she seems to have become a different person.

"If I remember correctly, the eldest princess seems to have been practicing martial arts since she was a child, right?" Zhang Zong immediately smiled and ran away when he heard Xue Shao's words.

"My mother... My mother is a princess, so of course she doesn't have to worry about marrying. What if Ning'er becomes a violent maniac and can't get married in the future?" Xue Shaoqiang said with support, but he admitted in his words that his mother has never been a lady, otherwise he would not have been disciplined like this.

After Xue Ning'er jumped around for a while, she finally vented her excitement in her heart. Then she hugged her nervous arm again and said coquettishly: "Brother Shi said another one, the woman inside must be as powerful as A Qing!"

However, as soon as Ning'er finished speaking, the sound of a husband's clapper sounded outside. Three consecutive sounds indicate that it was already three o'clock, which made Zhang Zong yawn and said, "It's too late today. You guys go back to bed quickly. Can you talk about it tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, it's so late, why not go back and rest first!" Xue Shao also said to the side. After listening to Zhang Zong's two stories, his fear of the ghost was also diluted a lot, and he is no longer afraid now.

"No, I still want to hear it. Brother Shi, please tell me one more, and I'm not sleepy at all!" Unexpectedly, Xue Ning'er, who has always been well-behaved and obedient, acted coquettishly. She liked the stories Zhang Zong told so much.

When Xue Shao, as his brother, felt sad, but he said with deep emotion with Xue Ning'er: "That's true. I used to fall asleep when I heard my mother telling stories, but when I heard stories from Brother Shi, I felt more and more energetic, and I didn't feel sleepy at all. Your story was so fascinating!"

Zhang Zong slapped his forehead speechlessly when he heard this. He actually forgot that martial arts novels are prone to indulgence. He thought that when he was in middle school, he had done a lot of things to read martial arts novels with flashlights in his bed, and even stayed up all night because of this. It seems that Xue Shao and Xue Ning'er's brother and sister now have the same feeling as he was back then.

"Okay, let me tell you another story about the thief Chu Liuxiang, but this story is quite long, even if it lasts for three days and three nights, I will only tell you one of the small clips today. I will continue to tell you when I have time!" Looking at Xue Ning'er's pleading look, Zhang Zong couldn't bear to refuse, so he spoke up and suggested.

"Okay, okay, Brother Shi, you are such a great person. I will hear stories every day from now on!" Xue Ning'er clapped her hands excitedly. Now she finally knew why her third brother Xue Shao always went to Zhang Zong, because there were so many fascinating things on Zhang Zong.

Zhang Zong didn't expect that the first good guy card to come to the Tang Dynasty was posted by a ten-year-old girl. He smiled helplessly and then told the story of Chu Liuxiang. Although Jin Yong's martial arts was wonderful, most of them were based on the background of real history, and most of them were stories from the Song Dynasty. Of course, it was not impossible to tell, but many background settings were needed. In contrast, Gu Long's novels did not have much historical background, which was much more convenient to tell.

However, after Zhang Zong had just told a few chapters of Chu Liuxiang's story, Xue Ning'er was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Her little head was dozing off bit by bit. Although she forced herself to not let herself fall asleep, she could still not resist the surging sleepiness. After all, no one could stop the child from falling asleep, even if the story was so exciting.

In contrast, Xue Shao became more and more energetic as he listened. He was simply crazy about the suave Chu Liuxiang. However, after Xue Ning'er fell asleep in the maid's arms, Zhang Zong stopped to tell the story, and then drove Xue Shao back to sleep. He was also tired.

Because he slept too late, when Zhang Zong opened his eyes the next day, it was already noon. As soon as he sat up, Xue Shao rushed in and shouted: "Brother Shi, you have finally woken up, everyone is waiting for you!"

"Who is waiting for me?" Zhang Zong rubbed his eyes and asked casually.
