Chapter 20: The Shadow of the Shadow (8)
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Feng Zidu and Cheng Guyao couldn't help but be surprised, who else was in a hurry to go to the road at this time? Looking back, they saw a young beggar riding a horse, holding two healthy horses in his hands, and running towards him on a tapping path. When he got closer, the young beggar shouted, his hands did not lift his feet, he suddenly jumped high, the swallow harrier rolled the clouds, and jumped down in front of Feng Zidu very gracefully. And the two horses that followed him under his seat, though they were galloping in a hurry, also came to a halt together.
Seeing this, Fengzi secretly admired, this young beggar was only about the same age as himself, but his driving skills were exquisite. The young beggar clasped his fists at Feng Zidu and Cheng Guyao and said, "Feng Gongzi, this girl, is He Li from the Beggars Gang Camellia Hall." Now, at the behest of my cousin, I have given you mounts so that they may not be trapped on the road. The old man of Qi said that Feng Gongzi is very kind to the gang, and the people of the gang dare not forget it. After saying that, he hugged his fists and bowed deeply.
Fengzi couldn't have imagined that Qi Changfa, the owner of the Camellia Hall, would actually send someone to send him a horse, and in such weather, it was really tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow. But deep in his heart, he faintly felt that a little bit was probably because of the treasure of the previous dynasty after all. Fengzi glanced at Cheng Guyao and thought, "Is this Qi Hall Master a hot-hearted character?" hurriedly held his hand in return, shook his head and said: "Brother He is bothered to come to send the horse in the wind and rain, how can I wait?" It's just that Yao Mei and I have never been used to riding horses, and the kindness of the Qi Hall Master, we must be the heart. As for these horses, I still have to ask Brother He to send them back. "After all kinds of twists and turns, Fengzi has already understood that things in the world do not need to be good for a while, and Qi Changfa suddenly showed kindness like this for no reason, and there may be ulterior motives in it.
When the young beggar He Li heard this, he shook his head and said, "Feng Gongzi invited, I don't dare to obey him." Suddenly smiled faintly, and then said: "Qi Hall Master, his old man said again, these two horses, his old man should have come to give them in person, but because there happened to be a hall in a hurry to deal with it, he couldn't pull away, and he apologized." Feng Gongzi, before leaving, the old man of Qi Tang told him thousands of times, be sure to pass the word clearly in the next to inform him, that is a drinking appointment, and he will be accompanied to the end in the future, and everyone will not get drunk or disperse. ”
At this time, the rain was urgent, and lightning and thunder were roaring. When Feng Zi heard what He Li said, he couldn't help but laugh violently, turned his head to Cheng Guyao and said, "Sister Yao, in vain, the master of the Qi Hall must still remember the drinking appointment. Cheng Guyao also missed the drunken appearance of Brother Zidu's brother in that restaurant, glanced at Feng Zidu, and couldn't help but smile as well, and said, "Hmph, I'm afraid it's not hooking up the wine worm in your stomach again." ”
He Li only smiled, and took out an iron plaque from his bosom, which was the plum blossom token that Fengzi had taken from under the altar of the statue of the broken temple before. He Li said: "Hall Master Qi commanded, this iron plate is a token of the hall master of the Plum Blossom Hall, and only the hall master can keep it. Since this was given to Feng Gongzi by the Dharma Protector Elder before he died, it should also be controlled by Feng Gongzi, and it should be returned to the brothers of the Plum Blossom Hall by Feng Gongzi himself. After saying that, he held the plum blossom iron plate in both hands and respectfully handed it to Fengzidu.
It turns out that there has always been a written rule in the eight halls under the beggar gang, and the subsequent hall master must be appointed by the previous hall master, and finally approved by the beggar gang leader. In this way, Fengzi couldn't help but be greatly embarrassed, how could he not understand the deep meaning of He Li's words? But he couldn't imagine that he had inherited the master of the Plum Blossom Hall from the previous hall master of the Plum Blossom Hall. Fengzi knew that if he really took the iron card according to his words, I am afraid that it would be difficult to get out of this life. Feng Zidu looked at Cheng Guyao, and then looked at the token on He Li's palm, remembering the earnest eyes of Hall Master Hao before his death, whether he should take such a plum blossom iron card in the wind and rain, and his heart was just very hesitant.
