Young Marshal: Many children bring more blessings, marry a wife who is as powerful as the world

Chapter 16 Did I Just Find a Granddaughter?

The team heading to Daqing departed again. After the killings yesterday to establish dominance, the bandit captives in the team were especially well-behaved today, and their pace had increased considerably.

There was no need for the cavalry to drive them; they all gritted their teeth and moved forward. But Zhang Shuzhen in the large cart had completely given up.

As the team’s speed picked up, the bumps were inevitable. On top of that, the road was muddy, and sometimes the wheels of the cart would fly half a meter into the air. The flight was fine, but when it landed, it could be deadly!

Every time the large cart rocked, Zhang Shuzhen would roll her eyes, and before long, she was lying on Zhang Xueming’s lap, completely motion-sick!

“I didn’t tell you to puke! Swallow it back!”

“Gurgle! Gurgle!”

Zhang Xueming knew that Zhang Shuzhen had a weak stomach. If she threw up in the cart, it would be hard to clean up. Seeing her holding back the urge to throw up, tears in her eyes, Zhang Xueming finally moved away.

“Go! Get me a cup of water!”

“I’m not going!”

“Smack!”

Zhang Xueming slapped her on the butt, and Zhang Shuzhen, with red eyes, immediately went to get water. After spending the day together, Zhang Xueming had more or less figured out Zhang Shuzhen’s personality.

This woman was born in a bandit lair and had watched the internal struggles between the bandits growing up, developing a “strong against the weak” personality.

To put it simply, she worshipped the strong and despised the weak. So, dealing with her was a bit special.

If you treated her like modern people chase after girls—showing concern, showering her with affection, giving little gifts, and saying sweet words—she would probably think you were a fool, a weakling with no abilities. But if you slapped her butt now and then!

If she got angry and glared at you, you slapped her face a couple of times—she would obediently listen to you. She was a typical northeastern bandit girl of the Republican era.

Wild!

Feisty!

Unruly.

“But I like it!”

Seeing Zhang Shuzhen looking defiant yet helpless, Zhang Xueming smiled lightly.

A little spicy pepper, who doesn’t love it?

He pointed to a red mark on the bedding.

“I’m curious, you’re a female bandit, but why are you still a virgin?”

At this question, Zhang Shuzhen immediately lifted her chin.

“Hmph, what’s wrong with that! My father is the bandit leader, who dares to touch me?”

Zhang Xueming froze.

Wait a minute!

Your father is the bandit leader?

Based on everything that had happened so far.

“Your father wouldn’t have been killed by me, would he?”

Damn!

He had killed her father in his anti-bandit mission!

It had to be Zhang Xueming!

But Zhang Shuzhen’s face darkened.

“It’s none of your business!”

Zhang Shuzhen slowly explained.

Her father was the leader of a nearby mountain bandit group, but compared to the brutal horse bandits, her father was someone who understood the rules of the underworld.

However, half a month ago, when her father went down the mountain to sell goods with his trusted men, they were ambushed by enemies. Her father fled on horseback but never returned to the bandit lair. The bandit leader had disappeared.

Without a leader, the lair descended into chaos. Over time, the people in the lair became restless. The second-in-command, eyeing Zhang Shuzhen’s beauty, began to make advances.

Zhang Shuzhen was not the type to be submissive, so she took a few of her loyal followers and fought with the second-in-command’s men. But Zhang Shuzhen’s group was no match for the second-in-command’s forces. Several of her relatives were killed, and she was captured. However, things took a turn.

Just as Zhang Shuzhen was losing all hope, Zhang Xueming’s cavalry unit arrived at night, wiped out the second-in-command, and rescued her as a captive. Listening to Zhang Shuzhen’s story, Zhang Xueming’s heart stirred.

“So, you’re saying your father might not be dead?”

Zhang Shuzhen shook her head.

“People who came back said my father was shot twice in the back with a ‘paozi’ (a type of gunshot), and the chances of survival are slim.”

“What’s your father’s name? Maybe I can send people to look for him?”

“My father’s name is Zhang Luyun, known as Yun Li Feng in the underworld, but… I’m afraid he can’t be found.”

In the northeast, the temperature in winter often drops to below minus ten degrees, and with no treatment for the gunshot wounds, it was highly likely he wouldn’t survive.

Seeing Zhang Shuzhen’s gloomy expression, Zhang Xueming didn’t pay much attention to it.

After all, he was sleeping with the beautiful “Yizhanghong” (a term for a woman), not her father.

Whether her father was alive or dead had nothing to do with him. The Republic of China was a chaotic time. People died by the hundreds of thousands!

If it weren’t for his system and the fact that he had traveled to the Zhang family of Fengtian, he might have already died several times. But it was a pity for this man!

In today’s world, there were fewer and fewer people who followed the rules.

“Done resting? Come here!”

Zhang Xueming instinctively called Zhang Shuzhen over. In the past two days, he had been so serious, but her stomach hadn’t given him any system prompts. This made Zhang Xueming very unhappy.

But…

“Wait a minute! A bandit, who understands the rules, and his last name is Zhang, with the name ‘Lü’…”

Zhang Xueming suddenly paused, his hand already on Zhang Shuzhen’s neck, preparing to deal with her like a tiger fight.

“Damn it!”

“Could it be…”

In the three eastern provinces, the Zhang surname mostly came from the descendants of people who moved east during the Qing Dynasty.

But a name with ‘Lü’ in it!

There was a saying!

For example, the two sons of Xiao Liu from the later generation, one was called ‘Zhang Lüyu’ and the other ‘Zhang Lülin’!

“Could it be that Yizhanghong’s father is from the Lü generation of the Zhang family?”

He quickly opened his family system and started searching through his family tree!

Soon!

Zhang Xueming’s eyes widened.

Damn!

There really was a Zhang Luyun in the Zhang family genealogy!

This time, Zhang Xueming became anxious. He looked at Zhang Shuzhen, who was still confused!

“Damn it! Could it really be a blood relation?”
