Qiao Xianyong could vaguely guess what Wei Hong meant, and he asked, "Master, what do you mean?"
Wei Hong stared at him and said, "Xian Yong, although you have lost your internal strength, the martial arts moves you have learned are exquisite enough to allow you to fight without suffering losses. This is a teacher who can rest assured. What you need to learn more is,
It is the experience and way of doing things in the world. This is not what the master can teach you. Therefore, I have thought about it for many days and decided to break up with you here. After March and before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, we, the master and the apprentice, will meet in the capital.
meeting."
When Qiao Xianyong heard that he was about to separate from his master again, his nose became sour and he lowered his head.
Wei Hong said calmly, "Xian Yong, your youth is the most cherished time. Don't waste your time on unimportant emotions at this time. From Daishan to the capital, Master has another task for you.
"
Qiao Xianyong raised his head again when he heard that Master had arrangements.
"Today, the imperial court is in ruins, the civil society in the Central Plains is declining, and bad habits are prevalent. As for those of us who are studying martial arts, punishing rape and eradicating evil is the basic principle. Soon you will understand that although the demon sect is evil, it is not a great evil.
It makes sense. The task master has given you is to punish five evil people within these three months, cut off their right ears, and bring them to the capital to see me."
Qiao Xianyong could not help but widen his eyes. He never expected that the master assigned him such a task!
Seeing Qiao Xianyong's confused look, Wei Hong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xianyong, remember, he is a very evil person. If you catch some petty thieves, my teacher will be very disappointed."
Hong took out a tea-white purse embroidered with Ruyi from his arms, handed it to Qiao Xianyong, and said, "Here's a little money for your expenses on the road."
Wei Hong saw Qiao Xianyong take the purse, smiled at him, then mounted the black mule and left towards the east.
Qiao Xianyong watched Wei Hong's figure gradually disappear, and felt sad in his heart. He knew that Master meant to train his mind, but he always felt that he had not spent enough time with Master, and there were still many things that he had not had time to say.
.
The black mule neighed impatiently beside him, scraping its front hooves on the ground, seeming to be urging Qiao Xianyong on the road.
Qiao Xianyong slowly stepped onto the black mule. The thrilling experience of this day and night seemed to be repeated before his eyes, making Daishan even more mysterious and intimate.
"Five evil people, cut off their right ears and bring them to the capital to see me." Master Wei Hong's words continued to explode in Qiao Xianyong's mind like thunder. Where to find these evil people? What kind of people?
Who can be considered a great villain? Qiao Xianyong's mind was still shrouded in mist, with no clue at all.
Qiao Xianyong was thinking about it, and when he reacted, he realized that the black mule had habitually carried him back towards Guang'an Town. Qiao Xianyong thought, well, since he didn't sleep last night, he might as well go back to the inn to have a rest.
, let’s see how to arrange the next step. I am not very familiar with the road to the capital, so I need to find someone in the town to ask.
During the day, Guang'an Town was still bustling with people. Qiao Xianyong returned to Tianfeng Inn, returned the black mule first, and then wanted to go back to his room to rest. Unexpectedly, the waiter in the store was very discerning, seeing that he was so tired
With a tired look on his face, he asked, "Sir, the sun is already high and it is lunch time. Could you please bring your lunch to your room or find a seat for you in the atrium?"
Eat?"
Qiao Xianyong was about to blurt out "for use in the room" out of habit, but then he thought that now he had to inquire about the affairs of the world, so why not eat in the lively atrium of the inn, maybe he might gain something, so he replied, "
Just help me find a quiet seat by the window in the courtyard, and I will eat simply, one meat, one vegetable and a bowl of noodles."
The waiter at the shop nodded and bowed and led Qiao Xianyong to the front courtyard. As expected, 70% of the seats were already full.
Qiao Xianyong immediately sat down at the only empty table by the window, drinking hot tea served by the waiter and observing carefully.
"Brother Tian San, most of the escorts from the Baisha Escort Bureau are out this time. What kind of escorts do you think they are?" There were three people dressed as martial artists sitting at the next table. One of them, a fat man with thick eyebrows and a dark face, lowered his head.
the voice asked.
When Qiao Xianyong heard the words "Baisha Escort Agency", he couldn't help but listen attentively, but he still pretended to drink tea and sipped it slowly.
Sitting opposite the fat man with a black face, Wu Fu had a long face like a mahjong tile and a sallow complexion. He said mysteriously, "A Biao, the Baisha Escort Agency is in Guang'an Town. Is this something we can discuss?"
The third person on the table had very small eyes, and seemed to be barely open, and his voice was like an ant. Qiao Xianyong had to work hard to hear him clearly. He only heard this person say, "With the strength of Baisha Escort Agency,
This trip is so solemn and mobilizing, if I, Liao Er, have predicted correctly, it must be a tribute for the birthday of the Queen Mother in the palace." After saying this, he looked around warily and saw Qiao Xianyong, dressed as a peasant boy, sitting there.
Nearby, he didn't take it seriously and looked away again.
Qiao Xianyong was sitting next to him but his mind was smart. He thought to himself that after listening to these people talking, Baisha Escort Bureau seemed to be escorting a group of escorts to the palace. Isn't this palace in the capital? The more he thought about it, the happier he became. If
If I can join the Baisha Escort Agency, I won't have to worry about this route anymore. I just don't know if the Baisha Escort Agency is still short of people, and whether their schedule can meet the time required by Master.
Thinking of this, Qiao Xianyong heard the sallow-faced Wu Fu say again, "Oh, I have never been to that capital in my life, and I don't know if the water in Guang'an Town is sweeter and the moon is rounder."
The fat man with black face said mockingly, "Brother Tian San, with your appearance, you will probably be invited to tea by Donglin Garden as soon as you enter the city gate."
As soon as these words came out, the three of them laughed "hahahaha", each picked up the wine bowl in their hands, touched it, and drank it all in one gulp.
The martial artist with tiny eyes seemed to have remembered something strange. He looked around a few times and lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Hey, the matter of Baisha Escort Agency has nothing to do with us. You heard about this
Is there anything weird?" At this point, he stopped talking and picked up a piece of pig's trotter dripping with oil with his chopsticks.
The fat man with the dark face seemed to be the most impatient and kept urging him, "Mr. Liao, don't always half-speak half of what you say and let it pass out like a fart in your stomach? If there is anything new, please tell me quickly!"
"
Liao Er glared at the fat man with a dark face and whispered, "The night before yesterday, the pretty girl from Li Laocai's house in the south of the city committed suicide by jumping into a well!"
