Chapter 6 Destined
Ou Zibu was certain that this strong woman was indeed a woman.

Because he found that when the strong man saw Chen Guangyao's naked private parts, he actually showed a little shyness that only women can have.

"You two little brothers are terrified. Hahaha, don't be alarmed, don't be alarmed! I'll bring back some tiger meat to calm you down later!"

The one who greeted Ou Zibu and the other man with a hearty laugh was an old man in a short coat with gray hair and beard.

However, although he is an old man, his muscles bulge under his short clothes, and his stature is tall. His muscles make him look much younger than his beard and hair.

The man who had stuck the tiger into the ground with a spear was also very tall. He had just pulled out a thick-backed knife specially used for cutting bones, and it seemed that he was going to cut the dying tiger into pieces.

While signaling Chen Guangyao to put on his clothes quickly, Ou Zibu also raised his hand in a very chivalrous manner and replied in the same Annan dialect with a Hue accent:

"Thank you so much, old man, and you two, for saving my life. I'm lucky to have survived. How dare I ask for your tiger meat?"

At this time, Chen Guangyao also put on his clothes and came over. He also wanted to express his gratitude along with Ou Zibu, but suddenly, the gray-haired old man's face changed, his hand trembled, and he was about to grab Ou Zibu's wrist.

Ou Zibu was startled and his brain didn't react, but his hands reflexively shrank. The old man strode forward and punched Ou Zibu in the chest. Ou Zibu blocked it with his hands and took the old man's hands.

The two men pushed each other back and forth two or three times, and Ou Zibu's feet seemed to have taken root, but the old man was almost pushed to the ground.

However, the old man also took advantage of Ou Zibu's strength and quickly took a few steps back. With a shake of his hands, he drew out his two swords in an instant.

Almost at the same time, Chun, who had just beaten the tiger and made it roar, pushed the rattan shield in his hand forward to protect the old man, and a long-handled ox-ear knife appeared in his hand.

As for the strong man who killed the tiger with a flying spear, he took out a long mulberry wood bow from a distance, strung the bowstring in a few strokes, and aimed at Ou Zibu and Chen Guangyao.

"Boy, I'm a martial artist, but I almost got fooled by you two!" The gray-haired old man snorted coldly, waiting for Ou Zibu to move so that he could chop him.

When Ou Zibu saw Chen Guangyao, he realized what was wrong.

Because their clothes were the most tattered poor people's clothes that they exchanged with farmers in the countryside, but their bodies were muscular, and their knuckles and finger joints showed obvious signs of years of martial arts training.

As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. In this era, to practice martial arts, one must first consume a lot of protein and secondly, have money and connections to visit famous teachers. It is definitely not something that ordinary people can practice, and naturally it is incompatible with the clothes they wear.

Chen Guangyao broke out in a cold sweat. He and Ou Zibu had no weapons, while the three on the opposite side were not only powerful but also fully equipped. If a fight really broke out, both he and Ou Zibu might die.

Ou Zibu seemed to suddenly remember something, and he kept glancing at Chen Guangyao and the fierce woman called Chun.

"Are you Pei Shichun?"

This woman was no ordinary person. She was worshipped as a heroine by the Vietnamese in later generations. Many Vietnamese cities have streets and schools named after Bui Thi Xuan.

Her most famous feat was single-handedly killing a tiger and saving General Tran Quang Dieu of the Tây Sơn Army, the largest uprising in Vietnamese history.

The two of them even got married. After the fall of the Xishan Dynasty, all the remaining people dispersed, but they were the only ones who stayed to protect the young master all the way and never left him. In the end, they both died.

Ou Zibu turned around and looked at Chen Guangyao, who was still full of vigilance at this time. Yes, in history, Chen Guangyao and Pei Shichun in front of him were a couple.

At the same time, Ou Zibu finally connected the life experience of this little follower beside him with his historical image.

In fact, Chen Guangyao is a distant cousin of Ou Zibu, but he got the surname Chen from his mother. No one knows who his father is, but it is said that he is a Yue person.

Chen Guangyao's grandfather was a Ming Dynasty soldier who came to Saigon with the famous General Chen Shangchuan, the general of the three Ming dynasties Gao, Lei and Lian.

As an illegitimate child whose father could not be made public, Chen Guangyao was destined to suffer contempt and abuse, not only in this era but also in the future. Furthermore, Chen Guangyao's family was poor, and they often had to seek help in Ha Tien. Because Ngo Tzu Bu's mother was Chen Shangchuan's youngest daughter, she was somewhat related to Chen Guangyao's family.

Ou Zibu remembered that whenever Chen Guangyao came to the Ou family with his mother or grandfather to borrow money or rice, most people did not like Chen Guangyao.

It would be strange if a poor relative and a wild child were respected by others.

Only the somewhat silly Ou Zibu did not despise Chen Guangyao at all, and regardless of his identity as the fifth son of the Hexian Ou family, he treated Chen Guangyao as a real cousin and partner.

I think the reason why Chen Guangyao never left Nguyen Tzu Bu, who was a bootlicker in Hue, was probably because of this love.

Historically, Chen Guangyao could no longer bear the contempt and humiliation, so he gave up his Chinese identity, joined Nguyen Hue's Tây Sơn Army, and became a true Vietnamese.

Over there, the father, son, and daughter were all horrified when they heard Ou Zibu call out Pei Shichun's name. These three were no pushovers.

At that time, the politics of Nguyen's Quang Nam Kingdom was dark, the officialdom was corrupt, and the people were living in dire straits. The three Pei family members simply started robbing the rich to help the poor.

The rich rob a lot of people, and then take out a little to help the poor, win people's hearts, and build reputation.

This time they went north to kill the entire family of the brother-in-law of the governor of Guiren in the south, and they had no choice but to flee north because they were wanted.

"Father, these two must be spies from the government office. Just kill them!" The eldest brother of the Pei family walked forward holding a longbow and said viciously.

"Hmph! You, spy from the government office, really underestimate Chen!
I've always heard that Pingding Pei was a chivalrous man who robbed the rich to help the poor, and he was admired by everyone. I never thought he would kill people without asking any questions!"

Ou Zibu sneered twice and acted like a gangster. Although it was a bit awkward, the Annan version was generally a little behind the mainland, and the gangsters in Annan still liked this.

As expected, after hearing what Ou Zibu said, Father Pei put his two swords back into his waist, then cupped his hands and said, "Haven't you asked for my advice yet?"

"I was originally going to Fulu, because the boss of Fulu, Han Gong, is the elder of my family." Ou Zibu would not say that he killed Zhang Fuyue, the son of Zhang Fuluan, the powerful official of Guangnan.

Because the three people in front of them had only killed the brother-in-law of a prefect, and the crime was not serious. If they knew that Ou Zibu had killed Zhang Fuyue, they might have turned against him and taken Ou Zibu to atone for their sins.

So Ou Zibu first brought up Hong Ahan's name. He thought that since these three people came from Fulu, they naturally knew what status the Hong family had in Fulu.

Sure enough, upon hearing Hong Ahan's name, the three Pei family members all showed a more or less solemn look on their faces.

"Have you heard about the Ganlu case two months ago? The Ganlu magistrate was corrupt and abused his power, exploiting the people. I hate corrupt officials like this the most in my life."

The Ganlu case mentioned by Ngoc Tzu Bu refers to the case that took place more than 20 days ago, when the envoys sent by the Nguyen family to Ganlu, north of Hue, along with more than 20 people from the office, were all killed on their way back to the city.

The perpetrator has not yet been identified, so it just so happens that Ou Zibu took advantage of it.

After the three Peis heard what Ou Zibu said, Old Man Pei laughed and said, "It's only right to be careful when traveling in the martial arts world. I won't bother you."

But after saying this, he looked at Ou Zibu secretly and meaningfully, and the atmosphere that had just eased up suddenly became distant.

Something must have gone wrong, but Ou Zibu didn't have time to think about it. As long as these three people didn't have any bad intentions towards him, it would be fine. The two groups had their own thoughts, so they quickly decided to say goodbye.

But when leaving, Ou Zibu saw that the strong man Pei Shichun couldn't help but look back at Chen Guangyao frequently, and Chen Guangyao couldn't help but shiver.

(Or maybe change the title to: 1763 The Wind Rises in Nanyang and Restores the Han Dynasty?
Everyone, please give me some votes to help Tiger get on the new book list. I also want to go to the front and see the scenery.)
