Chapter 143: Passing By

After those Kongtong sect disciples left, Lu Junliang picked up the wine bottle and poured a full glass of wine into the wine glass. Lu Junliang picked up the wine glass and slowly poured it to the ground. The wine drips on the concrete floor with a crisp sound. Lu Junliang smiled weirdly, I can't say that I want to kill the second senior brother, it is a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers, and the final result of the two of us can only be one person who is alive to be the head of the Kongtong faction, and now I will pour you three glasses of good wine, which is a good reward for your hypocrisy for me some time ago. Lu Junliang poured three more glasses of wine on the ground. Lu Junliang remembered the scene when he practiced martial arts with He Dudao when he was a child, and said to himself that friendship is a passing thing in the face of fame and fortune, and it will be defeated after all; Lu Junliang said from some of the things he experienced when he was a child and later in the rivers and lakes, and said the thoughts that were suppressed in the hearts of many decent people in the rivers and lakes.

Luo Junan said goodbye to his beggars as usual, and went to Kaifeng City to perform his arts. Luo Junan's business has been getting worse and worse recently, because in such a few days, only others have paid him, and even those who practice martial arts can't take a penny from him. Except for those who came to him purely to vent their anger in their hearts, the rest of the people were unwilling to waste money on Luo Junan in vain. Luo Junan walked out of the gate of the ruined temple, thinking about where to go to earn more silver as he walked. Those beggar brothers have been greedy again recently, pestering him one by one to ask for good meat and wine. The places he had been to were familiar to the people around him, and he was not going to those places, he was looking for a prosperous place that he had not yet been. When Luo Junan walked two miles, he finally remembered that a place was a good place. Luo Junan quickened his pace and walked towards that place. At about ten o'clock, Luo Junan arrived at an intersection fifty meters away in front of Lu Junliang's inn to make human sandbags. After a while, people venting, curious people, people who want to make money, and onlookers surrounded Luo Junan. Lu Junliang looked at the onlookers outside, thinking that it was a street performer who was playing a trick. Those little tricks were disdainful in Lu Junliang's eyes. After Lu Junliang drank a few glasses of wine, he went to the room to rest. At noon, when the Kongtong sect disciple who had wanted to earn money from Luo Junan came back to report the news, he saw Luo Junan performing there again. At this time, most of the people went home for dinner, and only a few people were left to chat. The Kongtong sect disciple didn't want to lose the pitiful silver that was already on his body, so he sighed and walked by. Luo Junan had been concentrating on sitting on the human sandbag, and he didn't notice the person wearing the clothes of the Kongtong faction this time.

Luo Junan happily put away the penny of silver on the ground, put it in a tattered pocket and returned to the ruined temple. On the way back to the ruined temple, he bought some good wine and meat. He has earned so much money today that he wants to share it with his brothers.

Guo Yuntian was in charge of the search in the Kaifeng city in the west, and met a beggar who lived with Luo Jun'an begging him. Guo Yuntian's anger towards the beggar last time had not disappeared, and he directly said "Get out" to the beggar when the beggar had not yet come to him. The beggar thought that if you don't give me alms, he scolded me a few meters away, and although he was afraid in his heart, he still said timidly, my brother is much higher than your martial arts, go back and tell my brother, let my brother clean you up. The beggar ran as he spoke, and by the time he finished speaking, he had already run away without a trace. Guo Yuntian said that you are not from the beggar gang, what kind of martial arts master will talk about your mother. Guo Yuntian continued to search for Luo Junan's whereabouts with other senior brothers.

Luo Junan returned to the broken temple with good wine and meat. Several little beggars and beggars who were not feeling well were very happy when they saw Luo Junan coming back with good wine and meat, and they all stood up one by one with hunger in their stomachs, smelled the smell of meat and wine, and ran out energetically. Luo Junan returned to the ruined temple surrounded by them. Luo Junan looked at these children and the sick number, gave them a few pieces of meat first, and picked up the hard steamed buns left from yesterday and nibbled on them. Most of his brothers were begging outside, and he could not enjoy this delicious food alone, and he would have to wait for them to come back in the evening to celebrate with them.

Guo Yuntian and the other brothers returned to the inn in the evening. Guo Yuntian deliberately returned to the inn angrily and sat down in front of Lu Junliang. Guo Yuntian said to Lu Junliang, Master, the apprentice is incompetent, and he didn't find any other news about Luo Junan at the end of the day. The other four groups all came back one after another, and there was no news of Luo Junan. Lu Junliang's eyes were full of tears, and he said Second Senior Brother, we wanted to avenge you, but we didn't even hear the news of Luo Junan, I am ashamed of the Second Senior Brother. The disciple of the Kongtong faction said timidly, today I met an artist who seems to be a beggar, and his martial arts are very strong, could that person be Luo Junan. After he finished speaking, he denied himself again, saying that Luo Junan didn't know where he was at all, how could he be a performer. When Guo Yuntian heard this junior brother's words, it was linked to what the beggar said today, these beggars are not members of the beggar gang, how can they have such a high martial arts master. Guo Yuntian told Lu Junliang the doubts in his heart, Lu Junliang seemed to be pondering, saying that the two of you reported the news well, the identity of this artist is indeed doubtful, in front of us, we have no news of Luo Junan, we might as well find the beggar, maybe there will be some clues, if this person is really Luo Junan, after catching Luo Junan, according to the rules of the Kongtong faction, he will definitely reward the two of you.

Lu Junliang said to the shopkeeper, prepare some food and water for us that are easy to carry. The shopkeeper said yes, I'll go and prepare it for you immediately. Lu Junliang said to his disciples, "Now prepare your luggage and weapons, and we will leave at any time." After the shopkeeper prepared the food and water, Lu Junliang asked the disciple to take it and walk out of the inn with weapons and luggage. At this time, Lu Junliang remembered where they went to find artists. Guo Yuntian said to Lu Junliang, I heard what my junior brother said just now, that entertainer is known to many people here, and we should look for it better. Lu Junliang said Yuntian, this task will be handed over to you, we are waiting for your news here, ready to leave at any time. Guo Yuntian said yes, he went out to inquire about the whereabouts of the artist, and sure enough, when Guo Yuntian hadn't asked the sixth person, Guo Yuntian had already found out the whereabouts of the artist. Guo Yuntian returned to Lu Junliang and told Lu Junliang the news of selling artists.
