Chapter 59: Clothes and Brocade Night Walking

When Peng Wuwang brought another pot of cow's head to Zuo Lianshan's bed, it was already an hour later. Seeing Zuo Lianshan gobbling up the meat and soup and eating it all the way, Peng Wuwang said with relief, "Brother Zuo, looking at this mental strength, I think most of the injuries have healed."

Zuo Lianshan wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Peng, I'm all right, and now I eat such a sweet pot of meat, I'm full of energy, even the tiger has killed a few."

Peng Wuwang patted him on the shoulder and said, "When I saw you covered in darts, I really thought you were just going to pass like this. I'm relieved now."

Zuo Lianshan smiled innocently and waved his hand, looking indifferent.

"Brother Zuo, when did you join the New Year Gang, didn't you occupy the mountain as the king with Brother Li?" Peng Wuwang asked.

"Hey," Zuo Lianshan said vigorously as he placed the clay pot on the case, "It's been difficult to do business lately. The Central Plains is peaceful, and we have always made a living by intercepting the official darts of the Sui Dynasty and the money darts of the rich and unkind local tyrants and traitors. Nowadays, this kind of business is becoming less and less. Later, our three brothers led the brothers of the Eighteen Villages out of the Saiwai, wanting to intercept the Turks and Tatars their official darts. Later, some unknown figures led the crowd to clean up, and the brothers were killed and injured countless times, and less than 100 people died in the eighteen villages. Brother Li and Second Brother Lu decided to go back to the Central Plains to live a peaceful life, so after breaking up, they went to Qingzhou to find you. But I found that the door of your dart game was closed, and I don't know what happened to you. They found a house to live in Tai'an, Qingzhou. But I couldn't be idle, I always wanted to wander around, and then I met the characters of the Year Gang, and I couldn't help what they said, so I joined the Year Gang. Later, he was sent to Dongting Lake to deal with a tricky character. Who would have thought of bumping into you?"

Peng Wuwang suddenly realized and said, "Brother Zuo, fortunately, you warned us, otherwise we would have been poisoned a long time ago."

Zuo Lianshan said with a smile: "Brother Peng is polite, we didn't poison you with heartthrobs that time, how could the poison stump you this time." I'm just talking for a while."

Peng Wuwang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Everyone was born and died together, and they will be brothers from now on. Brother Zuo, come to our Qingzhou Flying Tiger Dart Bureau to be a dart master. Now that the four seas are level, they can't be robbers. But the Datang Dart Team travels all over the world, and the business is endless, and there is absolutely no one to starve. We share blessings and hardships. Let's spend some time together."

Zuo Lianshan was overjoyed and said, "That's what I mean. Can I call Brother Li and the others together?"

Peng Wuwang smiled, "Of course. However, Brother Li's status is noble, I don't know if he is happy to condescend to each other."

Zuo Lianshan smiled, "What identity. We are all thieves who are kings of the mountain. Now that I have a happy status and can be distinguished in front of others, there are still so many considerations."

"That's good!" Peng Wuwang clapped his hands, "From now on, we will dart the world together."

"Tell the marshal, Qingzhou Peng Wuwang Gongzi recently stayed at the Yubin Inn on the shore of Dongting Lake." Zhuge Chang, the first scout of the left battalion under Li Jing, knelt on one knee and quickly reported Peng's whereabouts.

"Quick!" Marshal Li Jing, who was lightly armed and simple, led a few entourages, and according to Zhuge Chang's guidance, he rode towards the shore of Dongting Lake.

The journey of an hour was completed in half an hour by them on fast horses. When the eye-catching welcome banner of the Yubin Inn came into view, Li Jing's eyes felt a hot dampness. It was a feeling that had not been felt in decades. It was like the eagerness and joy of a pure and immaculate child who was about to get news of a loved one he hadn't seen for many years.

His mind seemed to have returned to the time when he first saw Master. At that time, he was still a pure teenager, and what he longed for every day was the excitement and heroism of the Prancing Horse. It was the master who brought himself to the battlefield where the soldiers of the Great Sui led by Yang Xuangan and Zhang Xutuo of the rebel army fought fiercely.

Hundreds of thousands of horses fought desperately, and Yang Xuangan's rebel army was slaughtered and wiped out by the army led by Zhang Xutuo one after another, and the dead bodies accumulated more and more in the battlefield, and blood flowed across the land like a river.

Master took him to the back of a hill overlooking the killing field that looked like a hell of Shura. His blood was stimulated by the scene of the killing and conquest.

"Li Jing, do you know who Zhang Xutuo is?" Master asked.

"He's a good guy. I heard people say that he has done a lot of good things for the people of Henan, and everyone praises him as a clean official." Li Jing said.

Master smiled and asked, "Then do you know how Yang Xuangan is this person?"

Li Jing thought for a long time and said, "He's not bad either. I heard that the common people were forced to have no way to live by the officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, so they rebelled with him and fought for a good life."

Master nodded, and then asked, "Do you know why these two people, one is a good person and the other is not bad, fight each other and never die?"

Li Jing thought about it for a longer time, and only after a long time did he hesitate to say, "Zhang Xutuo is loyal to the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Xuangan wants to destroy the Sui Dynasty. So they're at odds."

Master laughed and said, "Yes, the word loyalty and filial piety is the most incomprehensible. It often makes people ignore right and wrong, and they don't care about it. It seems that as long as you follow the word loyalty and filial piety, you can rest assured that you will be famous for future generations."

The master suddenly stared at Li Jing with electric eyes, and said, "Li Jing, remember, the eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, and he only asks where righteousness lies, what loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, and three outlines and five constants are, and they are all stupid words in troubled times."

Li Jing looked at the figure of the master standing in the wind with admiration, and was speechless in a daze.

"Hahaha!" Master looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "My husband is born in troubled times, so he should put things in order and clear the smoke and dust of the world, this is the most great opportunity to show his romance. Li Jing, are you willing to follow me to practice the kung fu born for troubled times, and fight for a peaceful world for the common people in the world. The blood of millions of ordinary people has been shed too much."

Li Jing's blood boiled, he knelt on one knee, and said eagerly, "The apprentice is willing to follow the master, level the world, and benefit the common people."

The Master looked at him deeply, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and sighed softly, "Son, you have to walk alone to smooth the way of the world. Being a teacher can only teach you three years of kung fu. Three years later, you have succeeded in your studies and go down the mountain to find a man named Song Lie. That's your brother, and he'll give you all the help you need most."

Facing the scorching gaze of his master, Li Jing secretly made up his mind to become a peerless famous general, and he would not regret it in his life.

The three years of studying art with Master in Lushan were the happiest and happiest times in Li Jing's life, and they were also the glorious years in his life when he looked forward to the future. Since he came out of the mountain, decades of horse career, countless famous battles that have made him famous all over the world, and the illustrious life of Jinma Yutang still can't dilute the memories of the happy days of practicing martial arts and swords with his master in the smoke and rain of Lushan Mountain.

The greatest expectation in his life was to stand in front of the Master in a military uniform and say to the Master with a happy face, "The disciple has leveled the world!" You must say this to Master like a child, even if you can no longer find the feelings of your youth. He hoped that Master would gently pat him on the shoulder and nod his head as a compliment, as he had just taken him as an apprentice. It is an honor that cannot be replaced even by putting all the rhetorical praise in front of you and putting it in your ears.

Looking at the welcome banner of the Yubin Inn, Li Jing felt a feeling that he was about to go home.

"Marshal, I'll take a look." Zhuge Chang said respectfully.

"No, I'll do it myself." Li Jingfei dismounted and walked into the inn quickly.

The innkeeper hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile on his face, "Guest officer, but you want to go to the inn."

"No, find someone!" Li Jing asked eagerly, "Is there a guest official surnamed Peng who has been here?"

The innkeeper suddenly realized and said, "Guest officer, you also came to find Peng Wuwanggong?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "Are many people looking for him?"

"Hey," the innkeeper sighed, "I really didn't see that Peng Gongzi was such a great hero. All the fishermen in the area of Dongting Lake have come to him in droves these days, saying that they want to thank him for his great kindness, and the gifts sent are piled up all over the courtyard, and even the firewood room is full. But that Peng Gongzi didn't want it."

"Where he is, I'm not here to repay the favor, but just to ask him something." Li Jing said eagerly.

"I'm really sorry, guest officer," the innkeeper sighed, "Peng Gongzi has already left to avoid the visit of the Dongting Lake fisherman, and there are many men and a father and daughter who have gone with him. These people changed their costumes and disguised themselves as ordinary merchants and left overnight, and they did not know where they went. I can't keep it."

Li Jing's expectations suddenly came to naught, and he stood in the inn in a daze, speechless for a long time, and his mind was in chaos.

"Guest, guest." The shopkeeper's surprised voice came slowly.

It took a lot of effort for Li Jing to come back to his senses and say, "What does he have to say?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "He asked me to tell the fishermen in Dongting Lake not to build any ancestral shrines."

Li Jing nodded blankly and said, "Is the Ancestral Hall?"

When Li Jing walked out of the inn, he only said one word to his subordinates: "Follow me to find Peng Hopeless's Ancestral Hall."

In Li Jing's heart, being able to see the ancestral hall of his junior brother is like seeing a master. Because Qi Xiaoyun's disciple should have his three-point temperament: that is the demeanor of a rare hero in the world.

Note: Humanity is that the rich and noble do not return to their hometowns, and they still walk at night. Although Li Jing has infinite scenery at this time, he has not seen Qi Xiaoyun's face, so he is not considered to have returned home. Therefore, the title of this chapter is Yijin Night Walk, in order to describe the regrets of General Li's life.
