Chu Yunqing went home and slept until the afternoon, when he suddenly woke up from hunger.

He rubbed his belly and walked out, intending to find a restaurant to eat meat. At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Brother Qing'er, it's me!" Li Er leaned on the crack of the door and peered in, shouting in his unique male duck voice.

Chu Yunqing took out his ears and led the horses tied up in the yard out.

This is not his horse, but a horse raised by the gang's stable. Considering his family background or the power he has over half of the horse market, getting a horse is not a problem. But a good horse must be matched with good materials.

, I don’t have much use in the city on weekdays, so I saved such a sum of money.

His money is basically used to maintain relationships within the gang and outside the gang. Drinking and eating meat costs a lot of money.

Opening the courtyard door, Li Er looked happy.

"What are you enjoying?" Chu Yunqing casually threw the reins to him, "The gang leader has just ascended to heaven. If someone sees you like this, you will inevitably be dragged into the hall and beaten half to death."

"Then you can still refuse to save me?" Li Er chuckled, and then said: "There is news from Shibali Shop outside the city. The hall master is coming soon!"

Chu Yunqing was stunned when he heard this, "Sister Hongran?"

"Yes." Li Er nodded.

"What a coincidence?" Chu Yunqing was a little surprised.

"What a coincidence, he was coming back soon, but the news didn't come through." Li Er said: "Now that Gang Leader Shi has left, the Hall Master must not reveal his whereabouts."

Chu Yunqing glanced at him, "Do you think Sister Hongran is ambitious?"

Li Er knew that the two people were close and had an irreconcilable relationship, so he just coughed dryly, smiled and said nothing.

"Tell the brothers below, don't talk nonsense at this juncture." Chu Yunqing ordered.

"Hey!" Li Er responded quickly.

"Let's go and pick someone up outside the city." Chu Yunqing got on his horse.

Li Eryi was anxious, "Hey, what about me?"

"Run." Chu Yunqing stretched the reins and rode away first.

Li Er smiled bitterly and shook his head, locked the courtyard door for him, and then chased after him.

…

A few quarters of an hour later, Chu Yunqing left the city and drove his horse to the farewell pavilion three miles away.

There are continuous willow trees planted here, and the main road leads to the north. There are several small pavilions with stone tables and stone benches. At this time, there are people saying goodbye, with tears staining their shirts.

Chu Yunqing tied up his horse, found a clean place to sit, ate the meat cakes he bought along the way, and drank some fruit wine from his water bag from time to time.

The breeze was blowing and it was very beautiful.

After a while, Li Er also came over on horseback.

"I really can't catch up, so I transferred a horse from the horse market." Li Er laughed.

Chu Yunqing ignored him.

Outside the pavilion and along the ancient road, there are always people leaving.

It's late autumn again, and the sadness of separation always touches people's hearts. In the sound of wind, there are faint words of reluctant blessings and dim sobs.

There are men and women, some are down-and-out scholars, some are wandering people. After we say goodbye, we don’t know when we will see each other again.

Chu Yunqing looked at it without any fluctuation in his heart, just biting into the meat pie.

Somehow, when I fell asleep, I felt more energetic for several months.

This almost made him think that he could become stronger while sleeping.

But by observing his own changes in the past two days, he has already figured out the rules of the little assistant - every time he is so "reckless" and clever, his true energy or body will become stronger, and then correspondingly, his spirit will be empty and lethargic.

, feeling weak and still hungry.

The growth of true qi requires the practice of internal strength, so that true qi circulates around the body, opens up meridians, opens up acupoints, and then stores the dantian.

This is a step-by-step method, accumulated.

If one day it suddenly strengthens a lot, then if you want to calm down the true energy and use it for your own use, you will invisibly consume your energy. In the past, you didn't feel sick when it was trickling, but you will definitely not be able to bear it once it overturns, so you need to rest to recover this expenditure.

of spirit.

The same is true for body training. Strengthening one's body does not happen overnight. It consumes one's physical strength. One day, one suddenly strengthens one's strength after months and years of hard work, and all the accumulated consumption falls on the same day.

So I need to eat and drink to replenish my strength.

But precisely because of the small assistants, this kind of consumption must not be compared with normal. Otherwise, the consumption of one year of practice can not be made up with one meal?

Chu Yunqing felt that it was a good thing, as it could indeed make him stronger. The days when he had no choice but to drift with the flow gave him a chance to become the person he wanted to be in his dreams.

He is grateful for all this.

Li Er, who was on the side, saw that he was deep in thought and seemed to be feeling emotional. He thought it was because of the parting person over there, so he raised his eyes, slightly surprised.

"Don't you usually look down on these poor scholars?" he asked.

Chu Yunqing came to his senses and ate a few bites of the meat pie. Li Er, who was standing beside him, quickly took off his water bag from his horse and washed his hands for him.

"I used to look down on them, thinking they were stinky and poor, but when I think about it, people may not think highly of us." Chu Yunqing shook off the water drops on his hands and said with a smile: "We are all struggling people, so who can look down on the other.

"

Li Er was stunned and looked up and down at the person in front of him in surprise.

Chu Yunqing kicked him, "What are you doing?"

"Tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect that these words would come out of Brother Qing'er's mouth." Li Er said.

"What?" Chu Yunqing said casually.

"You never said this before." Li Er said: "Those poor scholars have always been against us. They think they are good at writing, so they make up nonsense. They always think that they have hard bones, but in fact they just deserve to be beaten."

They did beat up many people who didn't know what they were called scholars, but it was okay for them. In Taiyuan City, Chen Wu was the one who received the most criticism both verbally and writtenly.

Just because of his gambling house and Xiaoyaosan business, especially the latter, he was often accused. But everyone knew that the person behind this business was Chen Wu, but there was no evidence, and to say that he liked Xiaoyaosan the most,

Aren't they still those scholars who have nothing to do and fail to pass the imperial examination?

"Those embarrassing things are over." Chu Yunqing smiled, "From now on, I will change my life."

Li Er tilted his head, not thinking about it.

…

Not long after, there was a carriage on the official road in the distance, coming towards this direction in a leisurely manner.

Chu Yunqing took a sip of fruit wine, stood up, and said, "Here we come."

Li used his second hand to set up an awning and looked around. It took a lot of effort to see clearly the Yuanxing Gang's logo on the carriage.

"When did your eyesight become so good?" He asked in surprise: "You can see clearly from such a distance."

Chu Yunqing just smiled.

You can do it if you have some help!

The carriage was approaching, and the driver was a woman. She was wearing a bamboo hat and looked very thin. Her name was Qing Fei, and she was picked up by Yan Hongran on the roadside the year before last.

The car curtain was opened by a hand as white as jade, and then a beautiful man dressed in a sky-blue silk shirt and dressed in men's clothing smiled sweetly.

Chu Yunqing hurriedly greeted him.

Li Er shook his head, moved his straight eyes, and stood respectfully by the roadside.

"Sister Hongran." Chu Yunqing called.

Yan Hong has fair skin and beautiful appearance, but there is a bit of heroism between her eyebrows. She usually likes to dress up as a man, but when she saw Chu Yunqing, she also smiled.

"I haven't seen you for more than a month, have you slacked off in your martial arts?" she asked.

The sound was like the sound of an icy spring cave, and as clear and crisp as pearls falling on a jade plate.

Chu Yunqing said quickly: "If you don't keep up the good work, you won't dare to slack off."

Yan Hongran nodded, not sure whether he believed it or not.
