Today is the third day that Zhang Peng has come to the Valley of No Return. When I came to the Valley of No Return, I worshipped the Dustless Daoist as a teacher, but I haven't learned anything yet. Last night, the Dustless Daoist even asked him to go out of the valley alone today and go to Liu Yuanwai's house in Maple Leaf City to pick up a thing, saying that it was to take it, but in fact it was stealing. This made Zhang Peng a little puzzled, but the dustless Taoist said that this was the first thing he had to do when he stepped into the rivers and lakes to practice martial arts, and Zhang Peng naturally nodded happily and agreed.

An emaciated figure kept moving forward in the Valley of No Return, and after a while, it appeared outside the Valley of No Return. This allowed him to leave the valley without stopping at all, and headed towards the south. Because two hundred miles south of the Valley of No Return is the location of Zhang Peng's mission, where Maple Leaf City is located.

With Zhang Peng's speed, it took seven days to arrive at this Maple Leaf City. At this time, Zhang Peng was standing at the gate of the city, he was originally disheveled, but after a seven-day long journey, he seemed to be a little flower at this time. During these seven days, because of the explanation of the dustless Taoist, after leaving the valley, there was no silver tael on his body, and he ate dry food when he was hungry, because he didn't have much dry food with him, basically he ate one meal a day. If you are thirsty, you will be in the stream, and when you are tired, you will find a stump or a pile of stones to take a nap. These days, Zhang Peng has never experienced it, if it weren't for the persistence of practicing martial arts in his heart to support Zhang Peng, I'm afraid Zhang Peng would have been unable to hold on for a long time. Although there were not many hardships along the way, only Zhang Peng himself could understand the hardships.

Seeing the gate of Maple Leaf City in front of him, Zhang Peng's dirty face instantly showed a smile.

At this time, it was already ten o'clock in the afternoon, and there was an endless stream of people entering the city. Zhang Peng hurriedly patted the dirt on his body with his dirty little hands, and after the stains on his face, he walked towards the city gate.

Maple Leaf City is the most prosperous city in the northern frontier, most of the teams coming and going are business convoys, after all, this Maple Leaf City is in the border area, and there are a lot of bandits who rob houses, so in this caravan, you can see some martial arts masters who are hired to protect the caravan, the only difference is that some caravans have strong financial strength, and the people who are invited to protect the caravan are also some masters, and some are invited to some people with relatively low strength.

Zhang Peng easily passed the inspection of the guards at the city gate and walked into Maple Leaf City. The pedestrians coming and going in the city, the busy streets, and the people who are constantly shouting from the shops and inns on both sides seem to illustrate the bustle and prosperity of this Maple Leaf City.

Zhang Peng stood tightly on the street, looking at the restaurants around him that constantly wafted out the aroma of food, his stomach rumbled, and he swallowed saliva from time to time.

"Get out of here!" At this time, an angry reprimand came from behind Zhang Peng, and he saw a handsome young man in a red robe, who was riding a horse on the street and running continuously. Behind the horses, a group of guards in black horses and armor followed. The boy galloped through the streets, ignoring the pedestrians and the surrounding vendors. Everywhere the horses passed, the crowd was panicked and dusty. The surrounding vendors and passers-by on the street all looked at the young man on horseback with angry faces, and their eyes were not only angry, but more fearful. The horse galloped, and he didn't know how many vendors' stalls on the street had knocked over, but the young man didn't even look at it, and walked straight towards the place where Zhang Peng was.

At this time, Zhang Peng was already hungry and cold, his mind was a little dizzy, and coupled with the noisy sound on the street, he didn't pay attention to the horse team galloping behind him for a while. At this time, the young man rode a horse and came to a place not far from where Zhang Peng was.

"Boy, are you looking for death, get out of here!" The red-robed young man looked at Zhang Peng standing in front of him, and his speed did not slow down, but rushed towards Zhang Peng's back.

"Be careful!" Just when the horse was about to hit Zhang Peng's figure, an exclamation sounded on Zhang Peng's left, and then, an emaciated figure suddenly rushed out of the crowd and pushed Zhang Peng's body hard, Zhang Peng's whole person suddenly flew to the right, fell heavily to the side of the street, and smashed on a vegetable vendor's stall. The intense pain suddenly made Zhang Peng come back to his senses, raised his head, and just saw the shadow of the horse team galloping past, and the red-robed man led by him glared at Zhang Peng viciously, and then walked away without looking back.

At this time, Zhang Peng knew that he almost died under the hooves of these horses when he was stunned just now, and suddenly felt a palpitation, thinking that he was pushed by someone just now, so that he could save the danger, thinking of this, Zhang Peng hurriedly looked around, looking for the figure that saved his life, at this time, a childish voice came from under Zhang Peng: "Can you get up first, don't press me." ”

When Zhang Peng heard the voice, he hurriedly supported the ground with his hands and rolled to the side, only to see that under him, a young man who was as thin as wood and as dirty as himself was staring at him expressionlessly.

Zhang Peng was suddenly a little uncomfortable by the boy's serious expression, and quickly stood up, patted the dust on his body, smiled, stretched out his hand to pull the boy up, and said, "Thank you so much just now, otherwise I would really die." ”

The young man frowned slightly, then looked at Zhang Peng and said coldly: "You and I are not relatives, I don't care if you live or die, but this is my territory, if you die on my territory, it will affect my business." ”

Hearing the young man's words, Zhang Peng's eyes moved to the young man's feet, only to see that there was a bowl with a missing corner and a slender bamboo stick lying under the young man's feet.

Zhang Peng could only smile wryly: "Anyway, thank you." ”

The young man pursed his lips, didn't pay attention to Zhang Peng, picked up the broken bowl and bamboo stick on the ground, walked to the side and came down, and closed his eyes slightly. No matter how you look at it, this boy doesn't look like a little beggar asking for food. I just don't know that the teenager closes his eyes. Thinking about something at this point.

Zhang Peng looked at the young man's lukewarm attitude, and he didn't go to the hot face and put the cold butt, after all, he came to Maple Leaf City this time with the task of the master Dustless Daoist, and now the first thing is to find the Maple Leaf City Lin family in the mouth of the Dustless Dao. So Zhang Peng pulled the tattered clothes on his body, turned around and left.

Just when Zhang Peng just turned around and left less than five meters away, he only heard a "clang" sound behind him, followed by a sharp and piercing sound.

"Boy, let me go if you don't want to die!"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Peng turned around curiously, and saw that next to the young man who had saved him just now, there were six or seven teenagers called Hanako gathered at this time, and at the feet of these people, a broken bowl was kicked and broken. And one of them, a little older, like Hanako in the lead of several people, was holding the young man's hand tightly with both hands, trying to break the young man's hand. The boy kept resisting, but the rest of the people called Hanako pressed him to the ground, no matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail. At this time, the young man's fingers had been pinched purple by the leader, but the young man still clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to let go. The boy just tried his best to save the few copper plates he had only gotten after begging all morning.

The beggar leader saw that the young man was soft and hard and did not eat, he was immediately angry, stood up and stepped on the young man's injury fiercely, and the young man immediately suffered pain, but he still clenched his tooth crown, unwilling to let go, but with a murderous face, he glared at the beggar leader angrily.

"Yo, you dare to stare at me!" The beggar leader saw the young man's expression, and immediately became angry, and stepped on it again. A few people were in full swing here, but the pedestrians passing by around didn't seem to see it, and they didn't pay attention at all, only some people who like to watch the excitement came up one after another.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng was furious, this young man had saved his life just now, if he saw it, but he didn't come forward to help, Zhang Peng's conscience would not be able to get over.

"Stop!" A childish voice came from the back of the crowd, and the person who spoke was Zhang Peng, who saw Zhang Peng use his thin little hand to push away the crowd, walked in, and then came to the young man's side, pushed a few beggars away, blocked the front of the young man, and looked at a few beggars with an angry face.

Several beggars were stunned, and Zhang Peng also turned to look at the young man curled up on the ground in this space, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

The young man didn't answer Zhang Peng's words, but just squeezed the hand holding the money harder.

"Yo, what kind of person is so blind? Boy, you are new? dare to mind my business?" At this time, the leading beggar spoke, and then waved his hand, and the remaining beggars immediately ran forward and surrounded Zhang Peng in the middle.

Zhang Peng glared at the few people around him angrily and said, "Why are you robbing him of his money!"

"Damn! Labor and management are robbed, what can you do! Do you still want to teach me a lesson?" the leading beggar looked at Zhang Peng with disdain and said.

"You... How can you bully people with too many people!" Zhang Peng said loudly for a while.

"I'm bullying you, how about it! Beat me, beat me hard! Kill these two blind things!" The leading beggar gave an order, and several beggars around Zhang Peng and the two of them suddenly rushed up, where had Zhang Peng, who had never been in the world, seen such a barbaric person, and was slightly shocked in his heart, and quickly turned around to cover his head, lying on the young man's body, and let the punches and kicks of those people fall on his body.

Just when a few little beggars were having a good time, the crowd thought that the old man was supported by others, and walked out tremblingly, looked at a few little beggars and said: "Young man, you have to spare people and spare people, don't be there, let them go." After speaking, the old man's eyes gestured to the middle-aged man who was holding him, and the middle-aged man nodded, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and gave it to the leading beggar. The leading beggar looked at the old man, then at Zhang Peng and Zhang Peng who were curled up on the ground, and stretched out the young man's hand again, and finally broke the young man's hand and took out a few copper plates in his hand. After getting the copper plate, the leading beggar spat on Zhang Peng and the others, and then beckoned the others to leave.
