Song Chu smiled and said, "Compared to Zhang Zi, there are many who are inferior."

  Son is an honorific title, and at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Zhangzi in one mouth was also referring to Zhang Yi.

  "Alright, stop dragging me into this." Zhang Yi smiled and said. After these days of interaction, he also had some understanding of Song Chuyis temperament. "I dont know who Huan Jin learned from, but at such a young age, she already knows so much?"

  Tao Zongs reputation was not prominent among the various countries, and at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he must have been familiar with the situation of each country, so that he could mention his name casually.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Ahru suddenly gently pulled back on the reins, Zhang Yi seeing this also stopped and turned his head to look at her.

  The lanterns had just been lit, and the cool night air mixed with the orange glow of the lights to create a strange and wondrous radiance. Song Chus face wore a faint smile as he bowed his head and said, "Duan Rong brother, Huai Jin is from a Daoist family, sixteen years old this year, and a native of Song country. As for our sect... heroes dont ask about each others origins. Weve known each other through thick and thin, and one day well each have our own great achievements. Well definitely drink three hundred cups together! Since Duan Rong brother doesnt want to wade into this water, lets part ways for today."

  Since Song Chu was reborn, her sect might not recognize her again. If she reports it, later on, people will inevitably think that she is impersonating a Taoist master.

  "Good!" Zhang Yi readily agreed, "Since Hua Jin has something difficult to say and doesnt want to talk about it, thats fine! Our friendship remains the same. When you go to Qin State, if Hua Jin leaves Wei State in the future, come find me for a heart-to-heart drink and chat! How does that sound?"

  "Its settled then." Song Chu said.

  Zhang Yi made a bow on horseback, whipped up his horse and galloped away in a cloud of dust on the wide street.

  The two personalities were surprisingly compatible, and both had originally intended to become sworn brothers. However, upon further consideration, they thought that the next time they met might be as enemies, so what would be the point of becoming sworn brothers? It would only serve as a bond between them, and its better to be more carefree. Even if in the future they were to oppose each other, engaging in a fierce battle, it would still be necessary to have a thrilling and satisfying fight!

  Zhang Yi knew that although the first explanation of Songs initial hexagram was absurd, there was one indisputable fact: his two senior fellow disciples had indeed been locked in a life-and-death struggle for years. He and Su Qin would never be able to serve the same master in the future.

  Until she could no longer see Zhang Yis figure, Song Chuyi finally dismounted and patted the horses head, leading it along the street. The two guards also silently dismounted and followed her.

  The wind whistled through the streets, and Song Chuyi couldnt help but shiver, but after blowing in the cold wind for a while, her skin felt a bit hot.

  Two guards followed for a while and saw Song Chuyi wandering aimlessly, one of whom couldnt help but ask, "Mr. Huaijin, arent you going to visit Tao Ding?"

  Two bodyguards were assigned to Song at the beginning, one was a chiliarch named Ji Bian, who was not good-looking but had a strong and majestic physique, which was the type that women liked most. The other was a soldier named Yun Ruo.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, without turning his head, he knew that the person asking the question was Qian Fuzhang Ji Bian, "Can you find his mansion?"

  Ji Yan said, "This is the first time Ive come to Xiangyang, and naturally, I couldnt find it."

  "Im also going to Yang for the first time." Song Chu said matter-of-factly.

  Behind him, Ji Yun frowned and Yu Ruo also looked at her with some unease. Originally they thought Song Chuyi was wandering around the street with a deep meaning, werent strategists always mysterious? It turned out to be simply because she couldnt find it!

  "Were here." Song Chu interrupted their thoughts.

  The two of them were overjoyed and turned around to see that they had actually stumbled upon a clothing store!

  The shop owner was packing up to close the door when he saw Song Chuyi and others standing in front of the store. Although the three people were shabby, they were holding three good horses, so he took the initiative to ask, "Three gentlemen are lingering in front of my small store, do you want to buy clothes?"

  "Its a deal." Song Chuyi replied, "Ill trade one strong horse for three sets of clothes and some food, is that acceptable?"

  At present, bartering is also a normal transaction. Even in the capital city of Luoyang, although most people use money and silk to buy things, they do not refuse this kind of transaction.

  The shop owner walked out of the door, looked at the three horses and asked, "I wonder which one you want to exchange?"

  The boss is a connoisseur of horses. Song Chu had just seen his gaze linger on the black stallion behind her for an instant, this horse was one that followed Ji Yu to battle and its aura was not something ordinary horses could compare to.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one turned his head and glanced at the three horses. The other two were about the same, so he stretched out his hand and casually pointed to one, "This one."

  The boss was somewhat disappointed in his heart, but one strong horse could be exchanged for the things that Song Chu initially said, which was more than enough. "However, please come in, all three of you."

  The three men tied their horses to a pillar in front of the gate and followed the shopkeeper into the house.

  The candlelight flickered on, and the shopkeeper merely glanced at the three mens figures before knowing what size clothes to bring out.

  He picked up several pieces of clothing from the trunk, including silk and hemp linen clothes, and surprisingly, one of them was a womans dress.

  Ji Bian and Yun Ruos faces suddenly changed, Ji Bian rebuked, "You old fellow, how dare you humiliate us! We three men, why did we bring out a set of womens clothes!"

  "This old mans store has never cheated on prices, and he doesnt dare to insult people." The owner looked at Song Chuyi with a meaningful glance.

  The two were shocked and immediately looked at Song Chuyi with a furious gaze of "you scoundrel".

  "Boss, get me a hemp robe worn by scholars." Song Chu said.

  Ji Bians eyes were filled with bloodshot, almost bleeding, gritting his teeth and saying, "How dare you deceive us!"

  They were besieged by the Song State for several days, and their food had already run out. Suddenly, two people came to rescue them from the brink of disaster. For the sake of Song Chu Yi, more than 2,000 people endured the cold and hunger in the mountains and forests all night, searching for a friend. Now, they suddenly learned that this scholar was actually a woman. Ji Bians mind was blown, and he forgot everything about Song Chu Yis words, talent, and so on. He thought she had manipulated the 2,000 soldiers of the Wei State at her fingertips.

  "Ive never said Im a man." Song had long been accustomed to others questioning her abilities due to her gender, so she replied calmly, "As long as I can do what I promised, does it matter whether Im male or female?"

  At first, Song saw the two mens faces relax slightly, then said, "You two arent carrying swords? If I cant do it, just take my head."

  The shop owner saw two guards with a strong murderous aura, and he didnt dare to breathe loudly. He held out a black wide-sleeved hemp robe in front of Song Chuyi with both hands.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he grabbed his clothes and said, "Is there a place to change?"

  "Please follow me." The shop owners attitude was much more respectful than before, and he slightly bowed his head to lead Song Chuyi away to change clothes.

  A moment later, a black wide-sleeved robe-clad Song Chuyi walked out. Her head was full and her nose bridge was straight, plus her figure couldnt see any curves, wearing mens clothing, with her hair tied up, she looked like a young man.

  Ji Bian and Yun Ruo had also calmed down by then. Song Chuyi was right, she held the lives of their two thousand soldiers in her hands, but if they didnt have the ability to save people, they could immediately kill her with one sword.

  Even so, the two of them no longer have the same relaxed attitude as before, and their treatment of Song Chu Er has also undergone a significant change.

  Ji Bian and Yun Ruo took turns going in to change their clothes, then the three of them got some food from the boss, asked for directions, and prepared to go visit Tao Ding.
