Yao Qing's first stop was the broken temple where he and the old beggar had lived, and he later learned that the broken temple was located outside the south gate of Wuxi, only two or three miles away from the apricot forest, and was the rudder of the beggar gang. Although the old beggars were charged protection money, it was chivalrous to allow them to live next to the rudder, after all, they were protected by the beggars.

Yao Qing shook outside the ruined temple and left, knowing that this was the rudder of the beggar gang, and he didn't want to be treated as someone with ulterior motives against the beggar gang. Walking into the city along the official road, the road is bustling with pedestrians, and it is very prosperous. Wuxi has a long history and is one of the birthplaces of Jiangnan civilization, which is said to have appeared in the last years of the Shang Dynasty. After the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Wuxi became a river transit city, "business travel to and fro, and boats are endless". In the Tang Dynasty, the humble and humid land around Wuxi Lake was transformed into a water network system with vertical and horizontal canals, lakes and ponds, and drainage and irrigation, and the sericulture industry was developed. The city's gold and silver, colored silk, tobacco and liquor, oil sauce, rice and other workshops are intricately opened, and it has become one of the big cities. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the scale of Wuxi's city was more mature and prosperous, Yao Qing walked on the road and watched, looking at the rows of two-storey shops, and sighed in his heart, Anping County is prosperous enough, but it is still not as good as Wuxi! Looking at this lively Cheng dù, the population alone is twice as large as that of Anping County.

After walking for a long time, he was a little hungry, and Yao Qing followed the aroma to find a restaurant. The restaurant stands on the street, and the gold-lettered signboard reads "Songhe Tower" three big characters. The signboard has been smoked into a cloud of darkness for a long time, but the three golden characters are flashing and shining, bursts of wine-flavored meat smell erupt from the restaurant, and the sound of the chef's knife and spoon and the shouting of the running hall are all in one.

Come upstairs, run the hall and hurry over to say hello. Yao Qing ordered four dishes and a pot of wine. Lean on the railing of the building and pour yourself a drink.

On the first seat of the west of the restaurant, a big man turned around. Two cold and lightning glances turned around his face twice. Duan Yu saw that this person was very burly, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing an old gray cloth robe, slightly tattered, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a square face with Chinese characters, quite windy and frosty. When looking forward to it, it is very powerful.

Yao Qing secretly cheered in his heart: "What a big man!" ”

He remembered a person and said to himself: It can't be him!

On the table of the big man was a plate of cooked beef, a large bowl of soup, two large pots of wine, and nothing else. It can be seen that he is eating and drinking, and he is also very heroic and comfortable. He felt Yao Qing's gaze falling on him, looked back vigilantly, and found that the person looking at him was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and the guard was removed. smiled kindly at Yao Qing. Yao Qing smiled.

The big man picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, and drank the wine in the jug in one gulp. When he wanted to drink again, he saw that the wine jugs on the table were empty, he frowned slightly, but shook his head again, and suddenly became happy, and just picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites of food to eat.

Yao Qing called Xiao Er and ordered, "Send another ten catties of wine to the uncle's table." ”

Xiao Er answered, turned around and went to get it.

When the big man heard this, he put down the wine jug and asked Yao Qingdao: "You and I meet in Pingshui, why do you want you to send me wine?" ”

Yao Qing replied: "Brother Tai drinks boldly, very much like a big hero and knight rumored in the rivers and lakes, and he has the heart to make friends with Brother Tai, so he invited him with wine." ”

Dahan smiled slightly and said, "In that case, how about you come over and have a drink together?" ”

Yao Qing smiled: "I don't dare to ask for what I want." ”

The big man shouted, "Bartender, bring two large bowls." ”

After a while, he took two large bowls and a large jar of wine, and put them on the table. The bartender poured two large bowls of wine and placed them in front of the two of them.

"Brother, a drink?" The big man picked up the wine bowl.

Yao Qing's face did not change color, and he drank a bowl full of wine.

"Good amount of alcohol!" Dahan praised, "Brother Tai knows Qiao's origin, but I don't know Brother Tai's surname?" ”

Yao Qing saluted and said: "In Xia Yao Qing, I have seen Qiao Daxia. ”

Qiao Feng was stunned: "You don't have the surname Murong?" ”

Yao Qing smiled: "I'm just a nameless junior below, and I have nothing to do with Nan Murong!" ”

At this time, Murong Fu had just debuted for a year, and he had already made a lot of fame, and he was listed as the best person of the younger generation along with Qiao Feng, and the name of "North Qiao Feng, South Murong" had already sounded in the rivers and lakes.

"Take a closer look, you and Nan Murong are indeed very different, it is said that Murong Fu has passed the weak crown, and you are only fifteen or sixteen years old." Qiao Feng looked at Yao Qing carefully and nodded.

Yao Qing smiled: "I admire Beiqiao Feng and Nan Murong quite a lot, and I wanted to go to Gusu to see it." I didn't expect to see Qiao Daxia first, I was really lucky. ”

Qiao Feng said boldly: "Brother Yao, since you and I are destined, you don't want to call me heroically." I'm obsessed with how old you are, why don't you call me Brother Qiao! ”

Yao Qing liked it when he heard this: "The little brother can't ask for it." At that moment, one of the two of them called "good brother", and the other called "big brother".

Qiao Feng had not yet become the leader of the beggar gang, so he didn't have to be busy with help, so he accompanied Yao Qing to Gusu. Along the way, the two discussed martial arts, Yao Qing's skills surprised Qiao Feng, at a young age, it was even deeper than his internal skills that he had cultivated hard for twenty years, is this a genius? Fortunately, Qiao Feng was broad-minded and did not envy Yao Qing because of this, and only made up his mind to work harder to practice martial arts.

Qiao Feng's reaction made Yao Qing greatly appreciated, so he reminded Qiao Feng with words from time to time. He had learned the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending from Hong Qigong, coupled with the knowledge of the innate grandmaster, his understanding of the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending was deeper than Qiao Feng's, and he could point out the shortcomings and key points of Qiao Feng's cultivation of the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending in a casual sentence, which benefited Qiao Feng a lot, and his martial arts rose rapidly.

Qiao Feng was very grateful, and felt that he was most fortunate to teach Yao Qing this friend, and proposed to form a brother with Yao Qing. Yao Qing naturally would not disagree, and the two of them made a fire and worshiped eight times for incense, becoming righteous brothers.

The speed of the two of them slowed down very slowly, but it still took three days to reach Gusu, but unfortunately Murong Fu was not in Yanziwu, and the two could only leave disappointed.

"Second brother, it's better to go to Junshan with the eldest brother to be a guest! I want to introduce you to my stepfather. Qiao Feng strongly invited.

Yao Qing shook his head, who knows if Ma Dayuan and Kang Min will be in Junshan, he doesn't want to meet Kang Min.

"No, big brother, I still have to go to Drum Mountain to meet an elder. I'll come back to you next time! Yao Qing refused.

"That's fine! When you're done, be sure to come to Big Brother. Let's continue to drink and talk about martial arts! Next time, Big Brother must not lose to you again! Qiao Feng laughed.

Yao Qing smiled: "Then the little brother will wait and see!" (To be continued......)
