Chapter 8 Where to Learn?

Wei Qing turned his head to look, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing timidly under the locust tree at the door, but saw that her hair was hanging down her shoulders, her white and tender little face was flushed with a faint redness, and her luxurious fur fur was cut very slim and decent, outlining the unique curves of the female figure.

The girl approached slowly and said softly: "Qian'er wanted to come with her father to visit Uncle Lin today, who knew that they had something to talk about and it was inconvenient to disturb, but I didn't want to meet Brother Cao, so I finally didn't go in vain", after speaking, she lowered her head with a half-sideways face and squinted her eyes, glancing at Cao Lu shyly. The corners of Cao Lu's mouth slanted, and he said with disdain: "If this is the case, I won't send it away", and then he withdrew and walked away, not even looking at the girl.

The girl was not annoyed, and approached again, looking Wei Qing up and down curiously with wide eyes. Wei Qing came into contact with such a beautiful girl for the first time in his life, and for some reason he always felt that she was completely different from the peasant girl he had seen in his hometown village before.

The girl saw that she looked like a demented person who had lost her soul, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile lightly, and said: "Childe is the young chivalrous brother Wei Qing that Daddy told Qian'er? Wei Qing was flustered in his heart, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word for a long time, just as Cao Lu impatiently beckoned him to go in, and hurriedly said "uh-huh" twice, and ran inside as if he was running away, but his foot actually hit the door barrier, and he fell a dog eating, he didn't dare to look back, he got up and rushed into the door in three steps and two steps, only to hear the girl's laughter from outside the door.

Cao Lu saw Wei Qing walk in with a flushed face, and said to him with a rare cold face: "Don't pay attention to that stinky little lady, Master said that wine can be drunk, fights can be fought, only women can't be provoked, otherwise once you are entangled, there will be a lot of trouble, and you will never want to practice kung fu with peace of mind, his old man can only practice a good martial arts because he has not married a wife, but I remind you for the sake of brotherhood." Cao Lu paused and said, "What's more, she is still the daughter of the 'Buddha-faced snake', and they don't have a good thing in the Pure Clothes Sect", and spit on the ground with hatred after speaking.

"Who is that girl?, and what is the Pure Clothes Pie?" Wei Qing asked again and again, but Cao Lu didn't want to say more, just told him not to pay attention to the girl, and then went to do other things. Wei Qing hurriedly followed, while helping Cao Lu do things, he took the time to ask him a few words, and after half a day, he helped Cao Lu wash a lot of clothes, and picked two jars of water, so that he finally inquired about the problem in his heart.

It turns out that the beggar gang is divided into two factions, clean clothes and dirty clothes, the dirty clothes faction is the common sloppy flowers, and the clean clothes faction is mostly ordinary heroes, who admire the reputation and status of the beggar gang in the martial arts and join the gang, they usually do not dress as beggars, only put a few patches in the inconspicuous part of the clothes to show their identity as a beggar. In the rudder of righteousness, people like Lin Hu and Cao Lu belong to the dirty clothes faction, and the clean clothes faction is headed by Cheng Bin, who was originally the owner of the local Weibei dart bureau in Lu'an Prefecture, and was already a famous master in Shanxi before joining the beggar gang. Lin Hu and Cheng Bin had many competitions for the position of helmsman before, although Lin Hu won in the end, but the dirty disputes between the two factions did not stop, and there were often disputes and private fights between disciples. The girl's name is Cheng Qian, she is Cheng Bin's only daughter, she relies on her beauty to often win over the disciples of the dirty clothes, and loves to instigate trouble between the two factions from time to time, Cao Lu is very disgusted with her.

Wei Qingxin said: "How can such a beautiful and innocent girl be a person who likes to make trouble out of nothing, she is very cute when she talks to me, it must be that Cao Lu is influenced by Lord Lin Helm, and he is preconceived to be defensive and alienated from all women." He was at the age of knowing that he was lustful and admired Shaoai, and he fell in love with Cheng Qian at first sight, only feeling that the shadow under the locust tree at the door that day could not linger in his mind, and he repeatedly recalled Cheng Qian's smiles, words and deeds in his heart all day long, and even his dreams at night were full of Cheng Qian's voice and smile.

Wei Qing had a sweet dream all night and didn't sleep well, so he had to follow Lin Hu and Cheng Bin to the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy the next morning. The gatekeepers of the yamen probably had been notified by their superiors before, and they were not allowed to wait in the foyer and were directly introduced to the lobby to sit down.

After a while, a person walked out of the screen in the lobby, but seeing that the person who came was about his early forties, with a white face and a long beard under his chin, wearing a purple official uniform, Cheng Bin hurriedly got up and saluted and said, "I've seen Lord Lu", Lin Hu also stood up and hugged his fists, and Wei Qing also stood up when he saw this. The person who came was Lu Deng, the envoy of Lu'an Prefecture, although he was in a high position from the second rank and was in charge of the military and civilian power of a state, but he was very kind to people, and after comforting Lin Cheng and the others, he praised the beggars on weekdays.

Lin Hu then presented the letter, starting from Cao Lu's meeting with Wei Qing, until the later investigation and results were detailed one by one, and asked Wei Qing to tell his own experience. Lu Deng's brows tightened after hearing this, he took the letter in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, and finally sighed and said: "The Jurchen is a nomadic child, and has always been unruly and vicious, before slaughtering the sixteen states of Yanyun, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains were burned into a white land, and now I especially want to go south to attack my Great Song Dynasty, it is really hateful." He also said to Lin and Cheng: "This matter should be reported to the imperial court to renovate the armament, but there are many strange people in the beggar gang, and I hope that the two of them can continue to send people to find out the news." Lin Hu said solemnly: "My generation is practicing martial arts in order to kill and capture the people, what is the place of righteousness, if the Jurchen Tartars abide by the covenant, it will be fine, otherwise I, Lin Hu, will definitely fight to the death with them, so that these Tartars will know that I have someone in China, and they will no longer dare to peep."

Wei Qing heard his impassioned words, thinking of the tragic situation of his parents and the whole village being slaughtered by the golden soldiers, he couldn't help but burst out with enthusiasm, and suddenly fell to the ground and cried: "The golden dog harms my whole family, this hatred is not shared, I am willing to give up my life to join the army to kill the enemy, and please fulfill it." Everyone in the hall was secretly sad for him at this moment, and Lu Deng took two steps forward to help him up and said: "Although you are still young, it is rare to have such a strong ambition, but the imperial court has its own law for recruiting troops, and this official can't give it to each other privately just by saying a word, so it's better to ......" said and looked at Lin and Cheng.

Lin Hu stepped forward and patted Wei Qing on the shoulder and said: "The beggar gang has always been loyal and righteous, and what Junior Brother Wei did before is very chivalrous, and I also deeply appreciate it in my heart, I don't know if you are willing to join the beggar gang and make a career for the country and the people." Cheng Bin also said: "Yes, it's not only in the army that you can kill the enemy and serve the country, it's the same to join the gang, Wei Gongzi has the love of Lord Lu, I think it's better to worship under my door, I will teach a body of martial arts, and he will learn martial arts in the future to share the worries of Lord Lu."

Lin Hu glanced at Cheng Bin and said, "Since I have already opened my mouth to invite him to join the gang, I naturally want to worship under my door." Cheng Bin smiled slightly: "Brother Lin just invited Gongzi Wei to join the gang, but he didn't say that he would accept him as an apprentice, and after Gongzi Wei worships me as a teacher, he can also join the beggar gang, so why should Brother Lin care about where his teacher comes from."

Lin Hu's face showed a slight anger, and he said: "Brother Cheng, is this questioning my unfairness, meaning that I can't suppress your disciples?" Cheng Bin snorted, still smiling as always: "How can I question Brother Lin's meaning, I really don't know why Brother Lin said this, haha, Brother Lin is really too upright, and he will say whatever comes to his heart." When Lin Hu heard this, his forehead was suddenly exposed, and he couldn't help clenching his fists, but Cheng Bin turned a blind eye, and his face was still full of kindness.

"This kid is really blessed, he can win the favor of two helmsmen at the same time", Lu Deng saw that Lin and Cheng were about to have a dispute, so he had to come out and make a round and said: "According to the official's opinion, let's listen to this kid's own thoughts, I think it is a good thing for him to worship under which master's door, so why force each other."

Cheng Bin said with a smile: "Lord Lu is right, just obey the orders below", Lin Hu didn't say a word angrily, but he didn't have a good attack in front of Lu Deng. Lu Deng smiled and said to Wei Qing: "The two masters are both famous warriors in the martial arts, no matter which one you worship, you just have to remember to work together with everyone in the gang and do your best for the country and the people." Before Wei Qing could answer, Cheng Bin got up and said, "Follow the teachings of the adults", and Lin Hu also sighed and said: "Lord Lu is right."

Wei Qing was at war with heaven and man in his head at this time, and the two ideas were to fight in a mess, he had lived in Lin Hu's place for more than half a month, and he was very familiar with a group of dirty disciples, not to mention that he also got acquainted with Cao Lu, a good playmate, although he was more willing to worship Lin Hu as a teacher, but since he saw Cheng Qian yesterday, his whole mind was concerned about this girl who had only met once, thinking that if he worshipped Cheng Bin as a teacher, he would be able to see Cheng Qian often, but he felt that he was sorry for Lin Hu and Cao Lu's care in recent days, and he couldn't help but hesitate。

Lu Deng saw that he hesitated, thinking that he was thinking that Lin and Cheng were both big people with positions in the beggar gang, and neither side was easy to offend, so he said: "The two masters are both good men with identity and bearing, and no matter what choice you make, you will not disdain to be embarrassed by a latecomer with you", he paused here, looked at the two people next to him and said: "The big husband is in the world, since it is impossible to be comprehensive and strong, if there is hesitation or dissatisfaction, you should think about the beginning of your own heart, and you will not lose the big because of the small."

Lu Deng didn't know what Wei Qing was thinking now, if he knew that all his entanglements were just because of a woman who only had one side, he would have been bombarded out of the house long ago. However, Lu Deng's words that seemed to persuade Wei Qing were actually words to explain Lin Hu and Cheng Bin, but they were like a stone hitting the surface of the lake, which made Wei Qing's heart ripple.
