Chapter 69: The Road Is Uneven
Qinghe Town, Shanxi, is a lively and prosperous town.
Chen Hanyu strolled through this bustling street, and at this time, there were still more than two weeks before the beggar gang leader election meeting, and he didn't need to rush over so quickly.
"Help~Someone is rude~" Suddenly, a woman's voice calling for help came from the street on the side.
Immediately after, from Chen Hanyu's afterglow, he saw the bodies of some citizens on his right side unconsciously pushing to the side, and at the same time, a woman in a grass-green dress quickly flashed down the road, and there was a shout of "Stop! where to run!" from behind him.
A hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, Chen Hanyu's feet moved, and his body instantly interspersed with a small path. He's so fast, it's unbelievable. So much so that the citizens around him only felt like a gust of wind blowing in their ears, and they didn't even see the figure that passed away.
The woman panicked and fled. She didn't want to turn two corners, and suddenly a person jumped from the roof and stood in front of her. She screamed, dodged to the side, and cowered next to a large jar of wine, her whole body trembling.
"Hehe......" A few evil laughters came, and three beggars in tattered clothes, holding some broken bowls and broken bamboo poles in their hands, were pressing towards the woman step by step.
"Don't ...... Don't come, can you please let me go?" The woman looked up, but it was only a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, and she looked at the four beggars with a fierce face on her face, and she was still holding something in her arms that she didn't know what it was.
"Hmph!" the man standing in front of her snorted coldly, but it was a cleanly dressed young man. I saw that he was in his early thirties, carrying a turquoise bamboo pole and six rag bags hanging from his waist.
"Dare to rob your Grandpa Wen's business, don't die!" the young man said arrogantly.
"I ...... I didn't!" the little girl was about to argue, not wanting to "snap!", when the young man slapped her hard.
"Dare to quibble!" the young man stared viciously at the little girl's swollen face.
As he spoke, and regardless of the little girl whimpering and sitting there in tears, the young man raised his head and shouted at the three beggars in front of him, "Why don't you hurry up and bring her back to my son?"
"Yes, Master Wen!" replied the three beggars, and then quickly stepped forward, trying to force the little girl to her feet.
"When the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, it's time to teach them a lesson. Chen Hanyu, who was hiding in the shadows, witnessed all this in front of him. I saw that he waved his right hand at will, picked up three small stones, and was about to hit the backs of the three people, when suddenly his heart moved, and he stopped the movement in his hand.
"Eh~ Someone is here again!" the corners of Chen Hanyu's mouth curled slightly.
"Bold thief, why don't you let that girl go soon?" suddenly came from the street entrance. Immediately after that, the sound of "brush!" sounded, and the silver light of the four short knives flashed, impartially, and they were inserted between the feet of the four beggars.
The three beggars' men were frightened, and shouted loudly, "Help!" and at the same time shrank behind the young man in the lead, who looked ahead with a proud face.
This young man is a first-class master, and his ability to judge the strength of others is not very strong. It's just that the other party's flying knife skill just now is indeed extraordinary. Let him know that the other party is also a person who practices martial arts, and his strength is not below him.
However, the strength is similar, but the young man is not afraid at all, it seems that he has a lot of backstage behind him, so that he has the capital to be proud of the masters of the same realm.
"Wen Qiao, the young master of the Purifying Clothes Sect of the Xia Beggars Gang, I don't know which way your Excellency is from the rivers and lakes?" Wen Qiao asked a young man in a light yellow robe who suddenly appeared on the opposite side.
"Huangshan Immortal Jade Sect disciple Feng Qingwan. The young man said lightly, "Feng can't see others bullying women, and asks Senior Brother Wen to explain the reason." As he spoke, he glanced at the little girl who was still wiping away tears.
"Oh, senior brother, you said she......" Wen Qiao smiled, looking at him like that, he seemed to be a little jealous of Feng Qingwan, "Even if you rob us of a little business, it's not a big deal." ”
"What! The old man saw that I hadn't eaten for a few days, so he gave me a sugar gourd, so you have to say that it's yours!" The little girl was obviously angry, and when she saw such a big savior as Feng Qingwan coming from the other side, she suddenly couldn't hide her mouth and said all her words.
Wen Qiao glared at the little girl fiercely, and then smiled awkwardly at Feng Qingwan: "Since Senior Brother Feng is here, I still have some business, so I will leave first......" After speaking, he glared at the three beggars, and several people hurriedly ran out of the street.
After turning a few corners, they saw that they came to a remote path where no one was around, and Wen Qiao and the others stopped breathlessly. Generally, people like them who have learned martial arts will not be tired like this if they run a distance. The reason for gasping is caused by nervousness and fear.
"Eh~ big brother, what kind of person is Feng Qingwan, who can scare you like this, big brother?" one of the beggars was still panting for breath. He was the least skilled of the four, and he didn't know what had just happened. It's just that seeing his boss so frightened, he is even more desperate to run, so the true qi in his body is also the most chaotic at this moment.
"Alas~ Sixth, this is the first time you have walked the rivers and lakes, I don't know!" The other beggar was also sweating on his forehead, but his internal breath was much better than the previous one, "The Huangshan Xianyu Sect, a very famous hidden sect in the rivers and lakes, its disciples generally rarely walk around the rivers and lakes, unless something big happens in the rivers and lakes, they can only be seen." ”
"Second brother, what do you mean, what big things are going to happen on the rivers and lakes recently? Could it be some kind of unborn treasure?" The sixth brother heard his second brother say this, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"What do you want?" the third beggar patted the sixth child's head casually, "Just your three-legged cat's kung fu, what kind of unborn treasure do you want to fight, save it!"
"Oh, fifth brother!" The sixth was about to speak again, when he suddenly heard the young man shout coldly: "Shut up for me!"
After the young man finished speaking, he glanced coldly at the old man who hurriedly closed his voice, and slowly spoke: "The Huangshan Immortal Jade Sect, when they snatched the Golden Lock Soft Sword last time, they didn't make a move. This time, in the case of the opening and closing of the Qingfeng Stream in Qutang Gorge, they actually sent people so quickly. ”
"Big brother, you said that the breeze map......" The second child was about to ask out loud, but was swept away by Wen Qiao's sharp gaze, and had to swallow the words that came to his mouth again.
"I don't know the times...... What should you ask and what should not be asked, don't you even know this?" Wen Qiao snorted coldly, so frightened that the other three beggars did not dare to speak.
And after Wen Qiao finished speaking, he didn't care about his three subordinates. He looked up at the front and muttered to himself: "The election for the position of the helper is imminent, and my father specially instructed me not to cause trouble...... Hmph! How can I get into trouble? When the time comes, I'll take this wind atlas back and not let his old man impress me?"
Just when Wen Qiao's thoughts continued, Feng Qingwan on the other side had already come to the little girl's side.
"Girl, are you alright?" asked Feng Qingwan with concern.
"Hmm~" The little girl raised her head, but there was a hint of innocent smile on her tearful face: "Thank you, big brother." ”
"Oh~ no thanks!" Feng Qingwan smiled slightly, "What is the girl's name, where does she live?"
"I ...... My name is Little Nettle. The little girl said playfully, "Home...... I don't have a home. He lowered his head again.
Feng Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the little girl's depressed expression, she couldn't help but comfort: "That's it...... Then, will you follow the eldest brother first? When the eldest brother arrives, he will ask the master to see if he can take in another disciple. ”
"Well, little beetle listen to the big brother!" the little girl nodded.
Feng Qingwan smiled, stretched out a hand and said, "Then let's go." As he spoke, he glanced at a hidden corner in the upper right.
The backs of the two disappeared around the corner of the street, and the hidden corner trembled slightly, revealing Chen Hanyu's figure.
Chen Hanyu glanced in the direction where the two left, then looked at the four knife holes on the ground, and frowned: "Huangshan Immortal Jade Sect...... The information from the Six Doors shows that they don't walk much in the rivers and lakes, could it be that they are running for the position of the leader of the beggar gang?"
He thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "That's it, if there is something big in the rivers and lakes, it is impossible for Brother Lan and them not to know." I'd better finish my mission this time first!"
After speaking, Chen Hanyu's feet moved, and his body disappeared in place again......
When night fell, Chen Hanyu came to an inn. I'm planning to stay here overnight and grab a bite to eat.
It was only when Chen Hanyu entered this inn that he found that in the hall of this inn, there were already two people sitting at the only small table. It was the disciples of the Huangshan Immortal Jade Sect who met during the day today, Feng Qingwan and Xiao Jing.
Seeing Chen Hanyu's arrival, Feng Qingwan immediately greeted warmly and said, "If this son doesn't dislike it, you can sit together." ”
"Okay, thank you so much!" Chen Hanyu smiled slightly, this person invited himself to sit so warmly, he couldn't help but give others face.
At the same time, Chen Hanyu faintly felt a little strange in his heart, when he entered this inn just now, he didn't notice that there were still people sitting in this hall. With his current strength, it is really not difficult to judge how many people there are ten miles away. As long as the other party does not deliberately restrain his breath and hide himself, he can feel the existence of the other party.
It's just that the two people in front of him, until Chen Hanyu got closer to them less than three miles, he could faintly feel the breath on the two of them, which had to surprise him.
"I am good at some methods of concealing the aura, and the aura is constricted within the radius, which is not easy to be perceived, so please don't be surprised. Feng Qingwan saw the subtle changes in Chen Hanyu's expression, and smiled slightly.
Chen Hanyu smiled a little embarrassedly, sat opposite the two, and opened a teacup with his hand. Seeing this, the well-behaved little net hurriedly got up and filled a new cup of tea for Chen Hanyu, and then pushed the teacup in front of Chen Hanyu.
"Let me introduce, in the upper disciple of the Xianyu Sect in Xia Huangshan Feng Qingwan, this is a girl I met on the road, called Xiao Jing. Feng Qingwan introduced enthusiastically, and his last sentence obviously referred to the little girl named Xiaojing next to him.
"In the lower six gates, the new patrol envoy Chen Hanyu. Chen Hanyu also reported his family, which is his latest identity.
"Oh! It turned out to be Chen Catcher, who looked up for a long time. Feng Qingwan smiled, "A few days ago, Chen Zhuan was famous, and he probably encountered a lot of trouble." ”
"Haha, Feng Gongzi, don't make fun of me. Chen Hanyu waved his hand casually, he was not very willing to bring up this topic now.
Feng Qingwan didn't continue to embarrass Chen Hanyu, he took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Then this time Chen is arrested, but what is the task?"
"Feng Gongzi thought too much," Chen Hanyu smiled, "I stayed in the six doors for a long time, and I was in a panic, so I came out for a walk...... However, Feng Gongzi, as a big disciple of the Huangshan Immortal Jade Sect and one of the eighteen heroes of the Young Eagle, can let Gongzi go down the mountain in person, it must be a big thing in the rivers and lakes!"
"Huh...... Each other!" Feng Qingwan laughed a few times and drank the tea in the cup.
Chen Hanyu also laughed a few times, picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth. He actually didn't trust the Feng Qingwan in front of him very much, one of them was that this person met him for the first time, and he was so enthusiastic, if there was no intention, it would inevitably make people a little hard to believe. He Chen Hanyu has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has some experience in watching people together. Second, Feng Qingqing met him for the first time in the evening, giving people a kind of gentle and elegant, not to mention the feeling of a spring breeze, but also a kind of meaning to inquire about what he came out this time, the so-called nothing to be courteous. In addition, because of the matter of the golden lock and soft sword before, he was a little more wary of the people in the rivers and lakes, and at this time, seeing that people like Lian Feng Qingwan who didn't walk the rivers and lakes much appeared, when he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, he naturally had to be more cautious.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Hanyu had already drunk all the tea in the cup, and seeing that Xiao Jing was about to stand up and get the teapot again, Chen Hanyu hurriedly put his hand lightly on the handle of the teapot: "It's okay, I'll do it myself!"
Seeing that Chen Hanyu wanted to pour tea by herself, Xiao Jing didn't insist anymore, and after withdrawing her jade hands, she put them on the skirt so flatly, looking very well-behaved and pitiful. Chen Hanyu glanced at her with a smile, and smiled at Feng Qingwan: "Master Feng, how did you meet this girl?"
"Oh~" Feng Qingwan smiled, "On the road during the day, I saw that she was bullied by a few juniors, and when I saw that the road was uneven, I rescued her." ”
"Little Nettle, thank you, Brother Qingwan. Xiao Jing's face flushed slightly, and she whispered to Feng Qingwan again to thank her.
Feng Qingwan glanced at her with a smile, and then looked at Chen Hanyu, only to hear him say to Chen Hanyu: "Her family was slaughtered in the village, and she is an orphan......
