Zhu Wenyu admired these old martial arts things, and he pestered Nangong Lei to talk about these old martial arts things over and over again, and he always got tired of hearing them. Therefore, this time Zhu Wenyu insisted on going back to Xiangyang with the desert to investigate the killing of the corrupt official Zheng Fengming, although he suspected that this matter was related to the extermination case made by the Tianyi League, but he also implied selfishness, he wanted to come to Xiangyang to take a walk, take a look at the famous city of the Central Plains that had resisted Mongolia alone for decades, and visit the legacy of the hero Guo Jing.

But two days of work, the three of them have come to the city of Xiangyang, only to see the towering city wall standing majestically, very majestic, the bluestone bricks on the city wall are already blue and black, mottled, potholes, are caused by the war of the past dynasties, Zhu Wenyu rode on the horse, looking far away, it seems to fantasize that the hero Guo Jing is wearing armor, is standing majestically at the head of the city, looking down at the dense Mongolian army outside the city, the beacon fire continues, the shout shocks the sky, Guo Jing is calm, holding a small flag, commanding the Xiangyang soldiers to defend the city against the enemy, The people in the city all helped each other, the young and strong carried stones and trees, the women and children bandaged the wounds of the wounded soldiers, cleaned the bloody clothes, the whole city went together, resisted the hundreds of thousands of Mongol troops, without fear, everyone regarded death as home, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were piled up under the city wall, and a dazzling blood stained the entire city wall......

"Brother Yu, what are you doing in a daze?" Tang Yun next to him saw Zhu Wenyu looking at the Xiangyang city wall from afar for a long time, so he asked strangely as if he was in a daze. This woke Zhu Wenyu up from his reverie, and suddenly realized that there was no smoke and war in front of him? Some are just blue sky and white clouds, and the spring breeze is slow, but Zhu Wenyu's ears still seem to be ringing with the roar of the iron hooves of ten thousand horses that shook the sky.

"Hehe, nothing." Zhu Wenyu sneered.

Xiangyang City is surrounded by a very wide moat, perhaps because Xiangyang is an important town in the Central Plains, the place where soldiers must fight, the moat is also much wider than other places, the narrowest place is also fifty or sixty zhang, the widest place is more than eighty or ninety zhang wide, much wider than a real river, if not, when Guo Jingzhen guarded in Xiangyang, Xiangyang is also rarely known as an iron city, solid as gold. It's just that now the water in the moat flows quietly, the sun sets, the red glow shines in the evening, and the slight spring breeze ripples layer by layer, decorating the city wall filled with gunpowder with a touch of gentleness.

"Brother Zhu, this way." The desert whip pointed to the west of the city, signaling that Zhu Tang and the others did not need to enter the city.

Zhu Wenyu knew that the people in this beggar gang generally lived in broken temples or abandoned houses, and the last time he saw the leader of the beggar gang "Iron Hand Tianlong" Xie Fei in Baishui Town, he was also in the broken earth temple outside the town, and the gang leader was still like this, not to mention the gang below? It is not surprising, then, that the horses were slowly herded along the path of the desert. Who knew that Zhu Wenyu's surprise was that after walking out of two or three miles, the desert actually stopped at the gate of a compound, and looking at the carved beams of the compound, it was clear that it was a wealthy family. Tang Yun was even more strange, and involuntarily shouted: "Here? A look of surprise on his face.

The desert seemed to know that Zhu and Tang would find it strange, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, Miss Tang, don't look at us as a beggar, we also have rich disciples." Gao Wei, the owner of this family, is my beggar gang six-bag disciple, several levels higher than me, and he is also the helmsman of the Xiangyang rudder, hehe. ”

"You beggars still have this kind of disciple? This is also called a beggar gang? Why did he go out and ask for food? Zhu Wenyu joked.

Although it is not divided into two factions, the beggar gang does not prohibit wealthy people from joining the gang, as long as they are sincere and willing to do things for the gang, they can join the beggar gang, and it does not necessarily have to be called a flower child. However, the gang rules also stipulate that no matter how wealthy the family is, if you join the beggar gang, you must wear a hundred knot clothes and beg on the street for at least two months every year, so as to show that you will not forget the foundation of the beggar gang. Desert explained.

"Oh, then this Gao Wei should be a master, right? It's a six-bag disciple, almost an elder, and it's still a rudder master. Tang Yun asked on the side.

Zhu Wenyu remembered the deputy helmsman of the Yangzhou rudder of the beggar gang he met before, "Meteor Tiger" Ye Fei, although he was only the deputy helmsman of the rudder, and he had seen the meteor hammer in one hand, but he was deflated when he met Zhu Wenyu, a master of the ranks, and he was tied, if he was put in the rivers and lakes, he was already a second-rate character, this Gao Wei was the rudder and helmsman of the Central Plains of the beggar gang, and his martial arts were naturally not far behind.

But he heard the desert smile and said: "Miss Tang happened to be wrong, this Gao Wei doesn't know martial arts at all, but he is bold and righteous, and he has made a lot of contributions to the beggar gang in the decades after joining the beggar gang, and he has been promoted to six bags of disciples, and he is familiar with people in Xiangyang, and he is very good at both black and white, and it is very convenient to act, so he made him the helmsman of this Xiangyang rudder." He also has hundreds of people under him, and there is no shortage of good players, but they are all convinced of him, and he is a rare talent. ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if he can do martial arts, there are many things that don't necessarily have to be solved by martial arts, as long as he can do things, he is a talent. Hehe, the beggars are really talented, but it doesn't have much to do with me, I'm just thinking about another thing. Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.

"What is Brother Zhu thinking?" Desert asked.

"I'm thinking, Brother Zhou, you, and Brother Yan, it's really much more comfortable to go to this Xiangyang rudder than to go elsewhere, at least you don't have to live in a broken temple, and you sleep on the bed instead of straw, right? Ha ha. Zhu Wenyu originally began to pretend to have an extremely solemn and serious expression, which made the desert really think it was something serious, but who knew that the more Zhu Wenyu spoke, the more outrageous it became, and when he said it, he already laughed out loud to himself, and the desert and Tang Yun couldn't help but laugh in unison when they heard Zhu Wenyu's words.

The laughter alarmed the people in the courtyard, someone opened the courtyard door and poked their heads out, just to see Zhu Wenyu and the three of them dismounting, only to hear the person at the courtyard gate: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Sha." As he spoke, he opened the courtyard door.

"Go and tell Uncle Zhou, Senior Brother Yan, and Master Gao Helm, that Miss Zhu Gongzi Tang is here." Desert handed the reins to a disciple of a beggar gang on the right behind the courtyard gate, and said to another disciple of the beggar gang. The beggar disciple agreed with a "hey" and hurriedly ran inside.

Sure enough, when Zhu Tang and the others walked through the front yard with the desert towards the main hall, there was already a hearty laugh from the 'Iron Beggar's Dragon' Zhou Yuan in the hall: "Haha, stinky boy, you are finally here, how is it?" I've suffered a lot of sins this time, haven't you? You brother, I thought you wouldn't come back. ”

"Haha, the stinky old man is called Hua, your brother is not dead yet, why am I willing to go to the Lord of Yama to drink? I'll have to see you breathe and burn some paper money for you. "Zhu Wenyu and Zhou Yuan are old friends, and they have no scruples when they joke.

I saw three people coming out of the room, one of them was wearing a greasy Baijie robe, his face was full of red light, his hands were stretched forward, and he was rushing over to hug Zhu Wenyu, it was the deputy leader of the beggar gang, the uncle of the desert, the "old brother" in Zhu Wenyu's mouth, and the "iron beggar dragon" Zhou Yuan. The young beggar on the left behind Zhou Yuan carried his hands behind his back, silently independent, his expression was still very calm, he was the senior brother of the desert, the second disciple of the beggar gang leader "Iron Hand Tianlong" Xie Fei "Flying Dragon Hand" Yan Feihong. The desert is Xie Fei's fourth disciple, the senior brother died early, and the third senior brother died unfortunately to save people, this Yan Feihong is already the only senior brother in the desert. Zhou Yuan's right hand is a chubby middle-aged man, brightly dressed, just a small patch in an inconspicuous place, his face is ruddy, his round face looks very rich, a pair of eyes are not big, but because of the kind smile on his face, he is squeezed into a slit, but this smile is very natural, making people feel from the bottom of their hearts at a glance, and they can't help but have a sense of closeness.

"Haha, you little monkey, you don't have good words when you open your mouth, when will you spit out your ivory to make me strange." Zhou Yuan really didn't think it was a fool at all, but laughed.

"Senior Brother Yan, Master Gao Helm, I am fortunate to meet. Brother Yan, Baishui Town has been gone for a few months. Master of the high helm, listen to the eagle talk about you, and praise you. ”

"Eagle?!" That Gao Wei was obviously about to speak, but he was confused by Zhu Wenyu's words.

"Senior Brother Gao, Brother Zhu and I are close friends, this is the alias he gave me, and it is me." Desert explained.

Gao Wei suddenly said suddenly: "Zhu Gongzi is lucky." In Xia Gaowei, I often heard Deputy Gang Leader Zhou and Senior Brother Sha mention Zhu Gongzi, Gao Wei has admired his name for a long time, and he saw it today, which is really fortunate. ”

"Okay, okay, it's all my own family, who is so polite to show it? Walk around, talk inside and talk inside. Zhou Yuandao.

Everyone agreed, the six of them returned to the hall, and the guest sat down, but it was Zhou Yuan who sat in the main seat, Yan Feihong and Zhou Yuan had both seen Tang Yun, and Zhou Yuan introduced Tang Yun to Gao Wei, and Gao Wei was a courtesy.

"Miss Tang, should we call you Mrs. Zhu?" When everyone finally calmed down, Zhou Yuan made a joke about Tang Yun.

Tang Yun's face turned red again, and he said in a low voice: "Old man Zhou, you are a lot older, and you don't respect the old man, and you make fun of others like this?" ”

"Hehe, what's this called teasing? Anyway, it's a matter of time, and if you don't call it now, you have to call it anyway, and it doesn't make much difference if it's one day earlier or one day later. Zhu Wenyu was obviously in a very good mood when he saw his old friend, and joked.

"You still say! How can you talk like that? Don't say any more!" Tang Yun said angrily.

"Hahahaha." Zhou Yuan laughed wildly when he saw this: "Stinky boy, you will have to bear it in the future, Miss Tang, I'm afraid only you can hold this monkey." ”

Tang Yun just blushed, but he didn't dare to say a word.
