Chapter Twenty-Eight: Departure
The matter has come to this, Meng Fan has no interest in staying here, the morning sun is rising at this moment, or it won't be long before the people from Xixia Yipintang will arrive, he has no idea of rescuing these people, and immediately went over to say goodbye to Qiao Feng.
In a rebellion, the beggar gang fell apart, except for Xu Chongxiao, the elder Taishang, the other six elders were broken by a third, and since then, the beggar gang has not only lost its prestige, but its strength has also been greatly weakened.
Although the only three remaining elders Wu, Song, and Xi all supported Qiao Feng to continue to serve as the gang leader, but after Qiao Feng knew his life experience, where did he still have this thought, he decisively refused the retention of the three, handed over the dog beating stick, and then left side by side with Meng Fan and the others.
The three of them came out of the apricot forest, and Meng Fan saw Qiao Feng's confused and melancholy expression, and subconsciously asked, "Brother Qiao, do you blame me for not telling you to take the lead?"
Qiao Feng shook his head and replied: "How come, since Brother Meng doesn't want to say it, how can Qiao be reluctant." ”
When Meng Fan heard this, he felt a little sorry in his heart, hesitated slightly, and said, "What are Brother Qiao's plans in the future?"
Qiao Feng's expression was stunned, his face gradually became solemn, and he was silent for a while before replying: "I am practicing martial arts hard while tracking down the enemy. But he remembered that Meng Fanyan was inferior to the eldest brother in martial arts before.
Meng Fan nodded and comforted: "As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, Brother Qiao is in the prime of life, it is a good time to practice martial arts, and you can't miss it." ”
Qiao Feng thought about it, and finally couldn't help asking: "Is that person's martial arts really so powerful?" It's not that Qiao is boasting, with my martial arts, there are only a few curves that can beat me on the rivers and lakes, even against these people, Qiao is also confident that he will die together!"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Meng Fan again, and continued: "Of course, except for Brother Meng, although you and I have not competed, Qiao knows that it is not your opponent." ”
Meng Fan smiled slightly, and did not deny it, having said that, it was not surprising that Qiao Feng had such confidence, there were really few opponents in the martial arts who were on the surface, even Ku Rong and Xuan Ci were not as good as him, but there were still a few people hiding in the dark and pretending to be forced.
Not to mention the sweeping monk and the three elders, it is Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, and it is not the current Qiao Feng who can win the battle. In the original book, Qiao Feng was only slightly better than Murong Bo after three years.
Thinking of this, Meng Fan sighed: "Brother Qiao, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, the world is so big, there are not a few masters of hidden asceticism, I know one person, and his martial arts are far better than mine." ”
This person is naturally a sweeping monk, although Meng Fan has not moved with him, but the other party has definitely stepped into the realm of the innate real dan, because only a master of this level can cast the "three-foot qi wall".
Qiao Feng was shocked by Meng Fan's remarks, since he saw Meng Fan resist the arrows half a year ago and cast that world-beating palm, he knew that the other party's martial arts were far superior to his own, almost to the point of incredible, he never thought that there was still someone in this world who could win.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying in his heart that he had lived for more than 30 years, but in the end he was still a frog at the bottom of the well.
Meng Fan didn't keep it, he also had something to do next, thought about it for a while, and reminded: "The parting is imminent, Meng reminds Brother Qiao again, the leading brother can call on the Central Plains, there is no doubt that he will be a Song person!"
Qiao Feng's expression was slightly stunned, a gleam flashed in his eyes, as if he had a goal, and he bowed suddenly: "Thank you!"
With that, he turned and strode away, and after a while, he was gone.
Meng Fan retracted his gaze, took Mu Wanqing through the farmland, stepped on the official road, and went to Wuxi City.
The two were not in a hurry, but they only traveled half a mile, the sky suddenly changed, and the dark clouds covered the top, so they had to speed up their foot strength, but fortunately, they were lucky and finally rushed to the inn before the rain.
The rain came and went quickly, it only fell for half an hour, and as soon as the rain stopped, Meng Fan and Mu Wanqing rode out of the city on black roses and galloped west.
The two rode horses for more than ten miles, and met a few acquaintances, these people were half-wet, weak and slightly embarrassed, it was Wang Yuyan's three daughters and Bao and Feng. Judging by their appearance, they should have just been lifted and rescued.
The two sides didn't have much friendship, so Meng Fan didn't mean to say hello, but when he passed by on horseback, someone suddenly stopped him.
I saw Ah Zhu stand up and say crisply: "Is Gongzi Meng here to find Uncle Qiao Fengqiao?"
Meng Fan grabbed the black rose with his hand, glanced back at Ah Zhu, neither admitted nor denied it, and asked casually, "Have you seen Qiao Feng?"
Seeing this, Ah Zhu was puzzled, but still explained in detail: "Well, not long after Meng Gongzi left the apricot forest, we were arrested by the people of Xixia Yipintang with medicinal hemp, but fortunately, Uncle Qiao passed by and rescued us, and he learned that the people of the beggar gang were also arrested, so he hurried to the rescue, and he left not long ago!"
Meng Fan bowed slightly, and he didn't feel strange, originally Ah Zhu's second maid was rescued by Qiao Feng, but now that Duan Yu is gone, these people have never been separated, and they will naturally be rescued by Qiao Feng together.
After a little groaning, Meng Fan thanked Ah Zhu and prepared to ride away, but he never thought that Wang Yuyan would stand up again.
"Master Meng, please stay!"
Meng Fan was puzzled, he didn't know what Wang Yuyan meant, because it had just rained and the ground was muddy, he didn't bother to get off the horse, and asked directly: "Does Miss Wang have any advice?"
Meng Fan was condescending, Wang Yuyan could only look up, and before she could speak, her pretty face was already blushing, but she saw Mu Wanqing sitting in Meng Fan's arms, and the posture of the two was too ambiguous.
The change in her expression was originally a reasonable thing, but Mu Wanqing had a misunderstanding, and thought that she had something to think about Meng Fan, so she glared angrily at the moment.
Wang Yuyan also sensed Mu Wanqing's hostility, although she didn't understand what she meant, she didn't think about it elsewhere, endured her shyness, and said: "Don't dare to give advice, everyone knows that Xiaoyao Gongzi knows the affairs of the rivers and lakes, a few months ago, Master Xuanbei of Shaolin died in the Great Wei Tuo pestle, I don't know if Meng Gongzi knows the real murderer?"
When Meng Fan heard this, he laughed and said, "You want me to clear your cousin Murong Fu's suspicion, yes or no?"
was broken by someone, Wang Yuyan's cheeks were like fire, and she almost wanted to hide her face and retreat, but for the sake of her cousin's innocence, she forcibly endured her shame and said: "The martial arts of the Great Wei Tuo Pestle is extremely difficult to practice, and my cousin has not yet practiced it, so he can't be the murderer of Master Xuanbei at all, if Meng Gongzi can clear my cousin's suspicion, Gusu Murong will definitely be grateful to Meng Gongzi!"
Before she finished speaking, Bao Wei and others also stepped forward, their eyes revealing expectation.
The corners of Meng Fan's mouth raised slightly, and he seemed to smile and said: "Although Murong Fu is not a murderer, but Xuan Bei's death is inseparable from the Murong family, you don't have to worry, there will be a day when the truth will be revealed in the future, say goodbye!"
In other words, no matter what they thought, they just urged the horse away.
