Zhao Aqi was not convinced, if he was fighting alone, he was not afraid of anyone, even if it was a wheel war, he could hold on to the end, but these so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes actually bullied him with more and less, and beat him down in a hurry, and then tied him firmly to a dead tree with a cowhide rope.

He struggled so hard that he almost uprooted the dead tree, and finally he had to give up because of his exhaustion.

Now, what he wants most is a sip of water.

It was at this time that Hu Guiyang came.

A little farther away is a shack made of two tree branches, in which it is said that the He siblings were "imprisoned" and guarded by more than a dozen Jianghu people - although the two siblings killed and smelled, but no one had seen their real martial arts, and they all felt that a dozen people were enough.

Zhao Aqi was tied to the side alone, unguarded, because they all knew that he would definitely not be able to escape.

Hu Guiyang came to see Zhao Aqi alone, and Fan Dajian went to chat with the Jianghu people who were guarding the He sisters and brothers to attract their attention.

Hu Guiyang squatted down, stared at Zhao Aqi for a while, and simply sat on the ground, "Why didn't they kill you?" ”

Zhao Aqi kept looking back at the stranger, and when he heard this question, he felt very strange, "Because after they got the golden pill, they still counted on me to teach the exercises." Hey, like I'm going to teach them. ”

"Why didn't you hit them?" Hu Guiyang asked again.

"They...... Which fucking one are you? "Since getting rid of the identity of a nobody, Zhao Aqi no longer wants to deal with a nobody.

"Hu Guiyang."

"Hu Guiyang, I've heard of this name, you...... Do you have Jindan? Zhao Aqi's eyes lit up.

"Shhhh To answer my question first, why didn't you hit them? ”

"There are many of them, and they are rushing up, I am invincible with two fists and four palms, and the tigers can't fight the wolves, if I fight alone, none of them will be my opponent." As soon as he talked about this, Zhao Aqi's anger didn't come out, and he struggled twice hard, and the dead tree shook, but it was still very strong.

"So, you're the best?"

"Of course." Zhao Aqi looked angry, thinking that the question itself was a humiliation.

"It's strange, why can anyone who is not as good as you in martial arts find help, but you, the one with the strongest martial arts, are so isolated that they are besieged?"

Zhao Aqi was stunned, he had never thought about this question, and when he was suddenly asked, he felt that he had a stomach to explain, and when the words came to his mouth, he felt unreasonable, "Because...... Because...... They have been in the rivers and lakes for a longer time than me, and their seniority is higher than mine. ”

"Do you know Shen Qianyuan?"

"Acquaintance."

"Although he is from Beijing, he has been away from his hometown for many years, and he only came back from Nanjing not long ago.

Zhao Aqi was stunned again, "You...... What exactly do you want to say? Is it just to laugh at me? ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head with a smile, "I want to say that walking the rivers and lakes relies on friendship, and you just lack friendship." Without friendship, there is no helper, without helper, there is no backer, without backing, you can only fight alone, and every time you win, you will provoke more enemies for yourself. ”

"I've been wandering the rivers and lakes for at least ten years, and I understand what you say." Zhao Aqi looked disdainful.

"Then why are you tied up here and no one to save you?"

Zhao Aqi was not too stupid, and finally figured it out, "You are the captain of Jinyi, you want to buy me?" Phew, even if Lao Tzu dies, he is still a good man, and he will never give his life to the government. ”

"That's right, I'm the captain of Jinyi, but in the days when I was taken away, did you see anyone from the government looking for me?"

"I don't think so."

"There are still hidden heroes among the princes, let alone a small lieutenant like me? Zhao Aqi, you can treat me as a Jianghu person. ”

Zhao Aqi's expression had already eased, but then he showed an angry face again, and said word by word: "My name is Zhao Lixing." ”

Hu Guiyang bowed his hand slightly, "Disrespectful, Zhao Daxia." ”

Zhao Aqi likes this title, "Say, what do you want?" ”

"What you lack is friendship, so I'll send a friendship."

"You?" Zhao Aqi looked at Hu Guiyang, feeling that he was too young, and he still had injuries on his hands, not the kind of friend he wanted to make, "If it is Shen Qianyuan and Mo Qinglong to make friends, maybe I will think about it, as for you, hey, you have been missing for a few months and no one has rescued you, but I am afraid that you are also a lonely person like me." ”

Hu Guiyang was unimpressed and said with a smile: "I have been missing for less than a month. Just because we are all alone, so we should help each other, everything has a beginning, as long as you are willing to listen to me, soon a large number of friends will gather around us. ”

Zhao Aqi didn't believe it, "You appeared a little strangely, you have been missing for a long time, and you suddenly appeared, and you still want to make friends with me......"

Zhao Aqi was speechless, and looked at the things in Hu Guiyang's hand blankly.

"You just asked me if I had a golden pill, is this this thing?"

Although it was dark and a little far away, Zhao Aqi still recognized it, nodded, and asked in a low voice, "How can you have it?" Where did it come from? ”

Hu Guiyang put away the jade pendant and muttered a few words of the fire god trick.

Zhao Aqi was even more surprised, and said after a while: "You have also met immortals?" ”

"We can be said to be senior brothers, I am younger than you, but I may have started earlier than you."

"I met the Immortals eight months ago."

"I was more than 10 years ago." Hu Guiyang directly pushed the time forward a lot, he didn't lie, on the Sacrifice God Peak, he did meet the "immortals", but he didn't get any teaching.

"Then you are a senior brother?"

"Don't dare to be, if you don't care, I'll call you Senior Brother Zhao."

"You started early, you can call me junior brother." Zhao Aqi's attitude has changed greatly, since he learned the fire god trick and took the golden pill, the entire martial arts is not in his eyes, only the "same disciple" must be handed over.

"How about it, would you like me to have this friendship?"

"Yes, of course." Zhao Aqi was extremely excited, even happier than defeating the martial arts seniors.

"Okay, you wait for me here."

"Senior brother, where are you going?" Zhao Aqi felt that he couldn't do without Hu Guiyang.

"I want to give you back your freedom openly, and then compete openly, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Yes, I say yes."

"After you are released, you do it, I move my mouth, without my hint, don't open your mouth, understand?"

"Understand, I will offend people with one mouth, everything will be done by my senior brother, I just have to contribute."

Hu Guiyang left with a smile, he did all the things that offended people in the past, but he didn't expect that there would be successors today.

He glanced over at the shack, a guard had already noticed him, but he didn't come over to interfere, compared to the He sisters and brothers who were hiding the golden pill, Zhao Aqi was really insignificant, and his exercises were just likely to be useful.

Hu Guiyang squeezed into the crowd, everyone was arguing, and no one recognized him yet.

Shen Qianyuan had already defeated more than ten opponents in a row, his face was covered with sweat, shining with firelight, his two knives were in his hands, and he only suffered a slight injury on his body, like a male lion who had just inspected the territory, silently glaring at the weak but ill-intentioned competitor.

Then he saw Hu Guiyang in the crowd, and his expression froze suddenly.

"You ......"

"It's not me." Hu Guiyang smiled, walked through the crowd, came to Shen Qianyuan, and bowed his hand slightly, "It's rude to be injured." ”

Shen Qianyuan hurriedly returned the salute, and he had nothing to say for a while.

"He's Hu Guiyang?"

"He is Hu Guiyang!"

Whether they had met before or not, they all recognized it at this time, and everyone was surprised and confused.

"Jindan is a good thing." Hu Guiyang opened his mouth and pierced the window paper, his name was already associated with Jin Dan, which was what made everyone excited.

Shen Qianyuan was a little embarrassed, and put down his double knives, "When will Captain Hu ...... Where have you been these days? We're all looking for you. ”

"Thank you, didn't this find me?"

"You've been here?"

"It's not too far from that." Hu Guiyang glanced at the crowd around him, raised his voice and asked, "Have you fought for the result?" ”

Shen Qianyuan was even more embarrassed, but he must not give up the victory in hand, and immediately said: "There is a result, please Brother Tie take someone away." ”

The big iron hammer was injured in many places all over his body, because he was short and could not shine in the fire, so he jumped out at this time, pointed at Shen Qianyuan and said angrily: "Who is your big brother Tie?" Shen San'er, don't be complacent, today's business is not over, I will send someone to invite friends, let's fight again tomorrow! ”

Shen Qianyuan turned his head to look at the bright sky, and sneered: "I said it a long time ago, whoever wins before dawn will win the golden pill, the big hammer is famous in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't even have this bit of credit?" ”

The big hammer's face was red, but he couldn't refute it, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Hu Guiyang, "Okay, the He sisters and brothers belong to you, Hu Guiyang I want to take it away, he killed Guan Dazi, he is my enemy of the big hammer!" ”

"Hu Guiyang is my friend, and he also made an appointment to compete in martial arts, Mo Lao Hero is here, let the old monster of the back mountain play in the competition."

The broken claw green dragon Mo Ai has fought a few battles, is resting, it seems that he can fight again, the back mountain monster Yang Jiuwen is also standing in the crowd, supported by two apprentices, it is still difficult to stand, let alone compete in the field.

"What kind of hero is he when he takes advantage of people's danger?" Sledgehammer's face turned even redder.

The two sides quarreled again, although the masters of the big hammer side were defeated, but the number still prevailed, but it was Shen Qianyuan's side, although they won again and again, but the main masters were already at the end of the crossbow, and they might not be able to withstand a scuffle.

As the day began to dawn, some people threw torches in their hands, causing even greater confusion, and more and more people raised their weapons.

Hu Guiyang was blocked behind by Shen Qianyuan and others and was closely "protected". He wanted to speak, but he tried twice, but he couldn't suppress everyone's shouts at all, and even Shen Qianyuan and Mo Ai were busy arguing and didn't care about his opinion.

Hu Guiyang reached into his arms, took out an object, clamped it between his left thumb and forefinger, and then held it high.

The rising sun shines on the jade pendant, and the red and white complement each other, which is particularly eye-catching.

First the big hammer side, then Shen Qianyuan and the others, gradually quieted down, and their eyes all looked at Hu Guiyang's raised hand.

"This is ......," Shen Qianyuan turned around and asked.

"Wen's Jindan." Hu Guiyang once again gained everyone's attention, and after waiting for a while, he smashed the jade pendant in his hand against a stone protruding from the ground.
