After Lu Qian escaped from the Tongguan battlefield, he hid all the way, went to Chang'an in the early morning, showed the token granted by Duoduo to the local government, reported the military situation, received a few taels of silver, and bought all the wine within a few hours. A few days later, when I heard the news that the Qing army had won a complete victory and changed the Yuan Dynasty and founded the country, I was upset, and took out the booklet stolen from Li Yijie and looked through it. I hurriedly glanced at a few pages, but I felt that the moves were very different from what I had seen before, and I couldn't figure it out, so I had to ignore it for the time being.

Later, he listened to the message of the Heroes Conference along the street, but because of his continuous travel, his clothes were worn and tattered, and the passers-by he met were either disdainful or perfunctory, and he still found nothing until noon, and he was feeling physically and mentally exhausted. When he got closer, he saw that it was a thin old man, dressed in a black and white robe, wearing a black gauze hat, shaking a tambourine as he spoke, and a wooden table covered with a white cloth beside him, and he looked like a fortune teller.

Lu Qian usually only felt that such people were some swaggering and deceitful people, and secretly despised him, at this time, the situation was easy at any time, thinking that he would go south and north, and the news would definitely be well-informed, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Uncle, can you bother to inquire about something?"

The old man glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I see that the young man has a yin and evil appearance on his face, which shows that the passing years are not good. Before he got out of the tiger's den, he will go to the wolf's den again. I advise you to cancel your recent itinerary and go home to rest and exorcise evil spirits with peace of mind, or you may be able to escape the catastrophe that will not come in the future. ”

Lu Qian said unhappily: "You bad old man, why are you a good curse person? Lao Tzu has really been very bad these days, and he has caused you bad luck for no reason, believe it or not, before I was unlucky, I killed you with a knife? "Thinking that the hero conference in a few days is very important to itself, even if you know that it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, you still can't listen to half a word of bad luck.

The old man sighed: "The young man doesn't know the height of the sky, and he pinched his fingers to calculate, and the young man wanted to go to a place of great evil, so he took another way as the best policy." But you are stubborn, you are a person who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, you will never repent if you do not suffer some losses, and you may not be willing to listen to the advice of the old decay. Either way, take some money and wait for me to come and take care of the plague with you. ”

Lu Qian sneered: "It's all out of the blue, it's not all the same, I'll see what tricks you play!" He reached into his arms, but it was empty, and then he remembered that he had exchanged all the silver taels for wine and stomach, and without thinking, he took off the token from his waist and slapped it on the table, and said: "I will offset it with this thing, you go to find someone who knows how to do it, and it is not difficult to exchange it for a few taels of gold." ”

The old man narrowed his eyes, looked at the patterns on the card, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, and he raised his sleeves to cover his eyes and said: "Put it away quickly! Do you want to get into trouble? No, no, I can't take care of your business, but I hope that the young man will seek more blessings for himself!" Lu Qian grabbed his vest and shouted: "Do you want to leave after being alarmist? I don't know what is good or bad! This is not stolen, nor robbed, nor is it a worthless fake, why can't you accept it?" The old man was still submissive, always covering his hands in front of him, as if it was a sin to even look at him more.

This noise attracted a large number of pedestrians to stop and watch, Lu Qian immediately put away his strong color, hugged his fists and walked in a square direction, and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please also come to comment on this truth, this old guy said to resolve the disaster for me, although I have no money, but I don't rely on him, use things to offset the number, he refuses to accept it, and accuses me of not giving money, so I leave it alone, how can there be such rules?"

A burly man said: "Then it also depends on what it is, look at your ragged clothes, what valuable things can you get? If it is mud dug on the side of the road, beggars don't want it." Lu Qian picked up the token and said: "It's all not long-sighted, you can show me clearly, this is a token given by Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty, but it is not a fake, is it worth a fortune-telling money......?" With this token, you are doing Manchurian lackeys?"

Lu Qian said: "The Qing soldiers have already broken through the city and entered the customs, and the overall situation is set, so what is the use of waiting for stubborn resistance? It is better to contribute to the public and get an official and a half position. The man said angrily: "Boy, do you want to find death?" He raised his hand and said, "Brothers, slaughter this traitor for me!"

Several men poured out of the crowd, surrounded on all sides, and Lu Qian saw that they were heavy and clumsy, but they were just street gangsters, no matter how many people there were, they didn't pay attention to it. Raising his hand to clasp the door of a close person, he twisted and pressed down his arm in a circle, and struck him on the back of his neck with his elbow, and the man spun around for a while and fell to the ground. Lu Qian's confidence increased greatly, and he counted down the people with swift methods, since he learned martial arts, the gap between the enemy and me was so wide for the first time, and his heart immediately gave birth to a little pleasure of looking down on all beings.

I was a little carried away, and suddenly felt a gust of wind behind my ears, as the saying goes, listening to the sound and distinguishing the shape, that is, knowing that the other party has deep internal strength. Although he was arrogant, he did not make mistakes, he did not dare to ignore it at the moment, his heels rotated, he dodged sideways, turned in an arc, and the next moment he met his opponent. I saw an old beggar holding a bamboo crutch and carrying a sack in front of him, his long beard dragged straight to his chest, and his face was like a flat mask. A whisper came from the crowd: "That's Yu Shuanglin, the elder of the beggar gang, except for Elder Peng, he can be regarded as the number two person in the gang." ”

Yu Shuanglin's face was cold and not angry, first he missed a move, and then he came, waving a bamboo crutch to attack, just because his weapon was very long, Lu Qian didn't dare to fight in close quarters, so he had to jump up and down to dodge, and he was extremely embarrassed.

On that day, Peng Jinlong fought hard and died in the night, just to take this advantage. But Lu Qian's martial arts internal strength is not much different from the remnant star, and he is frequently in danger between a few moves, and when he rolls on the ground, he suddenly feels that there is a hard object behind him, and then he remembers that the dog beating stick is still hidden on his body. For a group of callers, seeing the stick was like seeing the helper coming, he immediately pulled out his backhand, and with a "bell", he set up his crutches and flipped to Yu Shuanglin. Yu Shuanglin's face changed, he jumped backwards, and shouted: "Stop! What a shameless thief, where did you steal this dog stick?"

Lu Qian said: "The eldest husband is above board, how can he do the thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs? The token is given by the prince himself, and the dog beating stick is undoubtedly given by Elder Peng, your gang." Yu Shuanglin said angrily: "What nonsense! How could Elder Peng be in the same league with you?"

Lu Qian said: "His old man understands the righteousness, and when he saw that the situation was urgent, he gave orders to protect the beggar gang in an endless vein, and entrusted me to hand over the dog beating stick to the gang leader." "Elder Peng led the beggars to help the disciples encircle and suppress the Sacrificial Shadow Sect, it stands to reason that no matter whether the matter is successful or not, they should send people to communicate with each other, there has been no news for a long time, and the people in the gang are very worried, at this time, from his mouth, another avatar is busy saying: "Where is Elder Peng now?"

Lu Qian lowered his eyebrows, so he said in a mournful voice: "Elder Peng has died for the gang, and his death is miserable, all the brothers in the gang have suffered, and the murderer is the 'Remnant Star' who died in the dark night. Therefore, our common enemy right now is the Shadow Demon Sect!" He generously stated, and the avatar wandered, and whispered to Yu Shuanglin: "Elder Yu, let's eradicate the demons, but we can't wronged the good people, so it's better to take him to meet the helper." The helper knows whether this kid is lying or not, and he will know when he asks. ”

Yu Shuanglin pondered for a long time, he was not a person who did not distinguish between right and wrong after all, and he was also worried that he would delay the big event on the spur of the moment, so he beckoned: "Boy, you will go with us." ”

Lu Qian followed Zhonghuazi through the streets and alleys, entering an abandoned thatched hut, which was indeed an excellent hiding place, and no one would pay attention to such a hidden place without the guidance of someone in the know. A tall middle-aged man with unkempt hair in the room turned around with a sad face, Yu Shuanglin stepped forward and called: "Helper!" Attached to his ear and said a few words, the gangmaster's eyes lit up, and he beckoned to Lu Qian: "Virtuous nephew, come here." The tone is much kinder than Yu Shuanglin, and Lu Qian is also a smooth person, and he stepped forward to see him politely, which was extremely respectful.

The helper said: "Elder Peng's death, but you saw it with your own eyes?" Lu Qian said: "Exactly." The little nephew belongs to the Kunlun sect, and he accompanied the master, the master and the disciples of the various sects to set up an ambush in the wilderness, and he was caught off guard by the Demon Sect, but he was unexpectedly 'outnumbered', and then he saw two senior brothers and sisters of the Huashan faction......"

The gang leader said strangely: "Huashan faction? Meng Anying, the head of Huashan, has always been a person who has nothing to do with himself, hanging high, regardless of the righteousness of his colleagues, I haven't heard of them participating in the action this time!" Lu Qian said: "The Huashan faction is not that the two don't help each other, they only hate the little nephew for having no eyes, and when they saw them, they immediately stepped forward to talk about joy, but they were captured to ask for credit." The Demon Sect is full of people who tend to be inflammatory, and this time they are going to Tongguan to help the thieves and send my Daming country to foreign enemies. The little nephew died nine times before he gained the marshal's trust and deceived him into escaping with a token. ”

The gang leader sighed: "I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, originally I and Meng Zhangmen have always been well water and not river water, and the Huashan Beggars Gang also has a friendship for hundreds of years. But since this old man has acted perversely and instructed his disciples to commit murder and chaos, all those who have the Tao cannot be forgiven! Ten days later, heroes from all walks of life will gather to discuss the sword forest and hold a hero conference, and we will go to frustrate the prestige of the Huashan faction!" The disciples in the gang were filled with righteous indignation and responded in unison.

Lu Qian secretly liked it, and said in his heart: "If you ambush the beggar gang, you can be trained as a henchman, and it is a big help for me." Fang wanted to raise his arms and shout, but there were a few very low-pressure coughs in the room, and the helper frowned slightly, and said, "Elder Yu, you can bring him some more food." Yu Shuanglin took the order. Seeing that Lu Qian's face was inquiring, the gang leader smiled faintly and said: "A few days ago, the brother in the gang rescued a person, who seemed to have just fought with a powerful opponent, with both internal and external injuries, and the injury was not light. Fortunately, he has some internal strength cultivation, let's heal him again, and it is much better now. ”

Lu Qian said: "I have internal strength...... Maybe they are also from the martial arts, can they introduce them to the little nephew?" The helper said: "Okay, if you really know, it would be great, we are worried that we can't settle him." ”

The coughing sound came from the corner of the house, and a person was lying in the shadows, with a withered face, and Yu Shuanglin was holding a rice bowl to feed him. When Lu Qian first saw this person, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, he squatted down to support his drooping shoulders, brushed away the broken hair on his face, looked at it intently, and couldn't help blurting out: "Uncle?"

It turned out that the person was the head of Kongtong, he failed to rob the dart before, but Li Yijie and Cui Dart joined forces to attack, although he picked up a life with the help of the plum blossom dart, he was also seriously injured. I wanted to recuperate in the retrospective, in order to wait for the resurgence of the mountain, but finally due to physical exhaustion, fainted on the street corner, fortunately the beggar helped the disciple rescue, and was served and fed by Yu Shuanglin every day.

But the people in the beggar gang ate leftover soup, and the ones served to him were like this, there was no way to nourish and nourish, and his body was always weak and weak, so he was afraid that he would encounter a strong enemy again on the rivers and lakes, so he had to continue to stay in the dilapidated house to recuperate. He is the head of a faction, and he has always only paid attention to famous masters, and he didn't know an unknown junior disciple like Lu Qian, so he asked, "Who are you?"

Lu Qian said happily: "Little nephew Kunlun Lu Qian, knock on the head of the Kongtong faction!"

The head of Kongtong secretly complained in his heart, he didn't want to be cornered and hide in Tibet, but in the end he still had to be planted in the hands of the Kunlun faction. It was expected that the people in the beggar gang had already been bewitched by this little thief, so they came to support him, and it was useless to argue more, and sighed: "Since the poor road is already in calamity today, you can come up and give me a good time!"
