Who lost this loyal dog?

When Gu Qingfeng woke up, the sky was already bright, and the boat sailed smoothly all night, and the scenery outside was already different from what he saw before he fell into a coma.

Although the medicinal effect of the drug has passed, but the stamina is still there, his head is throbbing uncomfortably now, and he can barely support his body.

Qingying knelt in front of the bed.

Gu Qingfeng rubbed his temples to make himself feel better: "What's wrong?"

Qingying said quietly: "This subordinate is ineffective, please forgive the master."

As the head of the dignified Qingying Guard, Qingying has always acted thoughtfully, making decisions before acting.Gu Qingfeng couldn't remember how long it had been since he used this reason to ask for punishment: "Have you been discovered?"

"Yes." Qingying paused, and recounted what happened last night in detail.

From the beginning to the end, Qingying didn't have any flaws. If you really want to blame, you can only blame him for his bad luck, and the goal is really unexpected.

"It doesn't matter. Left and right, we should go back after the Martial Arts Association. I've been away for so long, the capital probably won't be able to last."

Not daring to disturb the master's thinking, Qingying quietly knelt aside, waiting for the master's follow-up instructions.

He didn't wait long.

Gu Qingfeng let go of his hand and walked slowly to the window.

"Have you seen Zhang Ze's movements clearly?"

"Yes." Qing Ying replied.

"How about it?"

"My subordinates see that Mr. Zhang is quick to move, and the internal energy in his body is surging. This subordinate is not an opponent. But Mr. Zhang's attack is a little slow. If life and death are fought, the subordinates are sure to die together."

"Die together... What do I want you to do with him?"

The cool wind from the river blowing in made Gu Qingfeng feel better: "Seal the cave for an hour, the majestic leader of the Qingyingwei, it's okay."

The soft and clever words made Qingying flinch, he forced himself to stretch his body, bent down and replied: "Yes."

"Brother Gu, are you awake? It's time to eat."

Zhang Ze was thinking about Gu Qingfeng's body, and guessing that it was about the same time, he knocked on his door, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw a pale and shivering blue shadow on the ground: "This is..."

"It's nothing, it's just a small punishment and a big warning." Gu Qing said lightly, "Let's go."

"Ah, oh."

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment.

After getting along for such a long time, although Gu Qingfeng and Qingying get along with each other with a clear distinction of superiority and inferiority, and there are a lot more rules than between him and Tianyi, the invisible tacit understanding and trust cannot deceive people.

Therefore, he never thought that Gu Qingfeng would punish Qingying.

Zhang Ze felt a little uncomfortable.

This was originally a matter between Gu Qingfeng and Qingying, he shouldn't have said too much, but in the final analysis, the cause of the matter cannot be separated from him.

Zhang Ze hesitated for a moment, and said: "If it's because of what happened last night, Qingying is actually no wonder. Those men in black came for the Nether card. If I really have to say, Brother Gu was also implicated by me, so..."

After hearing this, Gu Qingfeng smiled lightly and said, "Brother Zhang has a kind heart."

When he turned his head to face Qingying, he put on a stern face again: "Hurry up and thank Brother Zhang for pleading for you."

Qingying, who had been suffering for an unknown amount of time in the excruciating pain all over her body, propped up her body carelessly, staggered and turned towards Zhang Ze's direction, cold sweat poured out layer by layer, soaking the clothes on her back: "Qingying... ...Thank you... Mr. Zhang."

A short sentence was spoken intermittently by him, which was extremely difficult.

Zhang Ze felt deeply ashamed and hurried away.

At the dinner table, Gu Qingfeng took the initiative to pour a glass of wine, raised his glass and said: "Last night, I accidentally fell into the way of the villain, and I was completely unconscious. I heard Qingying said that I was almost taken away by them. Thanks to Brother Zhang who made a timely move, Save me. Don't thank me for your kindness, I will toast Brother Zhang first."

After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, Zhang Ze said shamelessly, "I can't say thank you, Brother Gu was also implicated by me. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise I really wouldn't feel at ease."

"Anyway, I owe Brother Zhang once." After drinking three cups, Gu Qingfeng looked at Zhang Ze up and down, thought for a while, and came up with a plan, "Brother Zhang's martial arts skills are world-class, needless to say, but this journey has made you feel better." I saw that Brother Zhang didn't have any weapons by his side..."

Touching the empty waist, Zhang Ze said haha: "I was thinking, when I get to the Changge School, I will go find a sword and make it."

Gu Qingfeng looked disapproving: "How can this be done? Although I have never set foot in the rivers and lakes, I also know how much people in the martial arts value their weapons. It just so happens that I have a good sword here, named 'Hong Shadow', cut iron like mud. I don't need it, why don't I give it to Brother Zhang."

"How can this work!" Zhang Ze exclaimed in shock.

Magical weapons are hard to find, Zhang Ze thought that he just entered the rivers and lakes, had no strengths, and did not do any earth-shattering events, so he really couldn't afford this kind of favor.

"Brother Zhang don't shirk the sword as a gift to Yingxia. I don't need it anymore. Instead of letting it be dusty here, it is better to give it to Brother Zhang so that it will shine again in Brother Zhang's hands. Ah Qing, go get the sword Come."

Qingying took the order and left.

"Come on, Brother Zhang, let me toast you again."

What Gu Qingfeng said was affectionate and righteous, and he understood it with emotion and moved it with reason. Zhang Ze couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it half-heartedly.

Unwrapping the layers of cloth strips wrapped outside, what comes into view is the ebony sword sheath, the whole body is black, only the sheath mouth is covered with bright silver metal, the style is extremely simple.

Zhang Ze lightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and the long sword was unsheathed, and he couldn't move his eyes for a moment.

Hongying is two feet and three inches long, two fingers wide, and the sword is slender, clear as water, the blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the hair is broken when blown, and the root of the sword is engraved with a "Hong" character drawn on a silver hook.

Is this Hongying?

Zhang Ze sighed secretly.

When his hand was on the hilt of the sword, there was a sense of familiarity.

For those who practice martial arts, each weapon will have a different feeling when using it, and the difference can be as wide as a thousand miles.

And this sword, as if it was born for him, just holding it in his hand, can feel very suitable, as if he has swung it countless times, and he is familiar with it in his bones.

Zhang Ze could not help but praise: "Good sword."

"Hahaha, let me first wish Brother Zhang the best of luck in this martial arts competition!"

"Auspicious words from Brother Gu."

Seeing his master accepting Hongying, Tianyi's eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.

After drinking another cup, Zhang Ze asked: "Brother Gu, although the Nether people were repelled last night, they kept thinking about the Nether card, and we couldn't relax. Tianyi and I are safe for ourselves. This time it's the same, I picked Brother Gu to attack... As the saying goes, don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it."

"It's okay." Gu Qingfeng was confident, and obviously already had a plan, "When I reach the boundary of the Changge Sect in the south of the Yangtze River, I will live in the Changge Sect. The martial arts will be held soon, and the seven sects will gather together. Don’t dare to attack me there.”

This is a way, Zhang Ze nodded slowly.

After a while, he tried to find a way to throw out the troublesome sign, completely eliminating future troubles.

Nothing happened on the next road, they went down to the south of the Yangtze River smoothly, rented a carriage nearby, and after a bumpy day, they finally arrived at the place where the Changge faction was located.

There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Changge School is located on an island in the middle of the lake.

The river is wide open, standing on the bank and taking a look from a distance, in the mist, the Changge School can be seen faintly, which has the meaning of Penglai fairyland.The boats on the ferry came and went, and there were disciples of the Changge Sect waiting here, busy ferrying the chivalrous men who came to participate in the Martial Arts Association.

Occasionally, a few people think that they have light skills, and they want to show off, and they walk on the water amidst the sound of exclamation, looking as graceful as a bird.

Gu Qingfeng stood at the ferry with his hands behind his back, while waiting for the boat, his eyes swept over the endless stream of small merchants and hawkers, and he said with a smile: "I heard that when the Changge School was built here, there were still people here. The wasteland with few traces has become so prosperous now... Seeing is believing."

"Of course, this place is at the foot of Changge. Every year at this time, it is very lively."

A boatman wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Changge School rolled a small boat to Zhang Ze's feet: "The two young masters don't seem to be locals, so they are also here to participate in the Martial Arts Association?"

"Exactly." Zhang Ze clasped his fists together, "Please trouble this little brother."

"Thank you, hero." The boatman hurriedly saluted, and when they stood up, they took the boat to the center of the lake.

The disciples of Changge, who left early, waited at the entrance, asked them why they came, and took them to the registration office. First, they checked the bones to verify their ages, and then reported their names to get a wooden sign for the competition. Finally, they found a few vacant guest rooms outside .

"During the Martial Arts Association, a few of you will live here with peace of mind. Three meals a day will be delivered by someone. Except for a few forbidden places on Changge Island, you are not allowed to trespass. In other places, knights can move around on their own. If there is anything, you can Go to Senior Brother Cao at the registration office just now. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Thank you, young man."

Sending off the leading disciples, Zhang Ze sighed with emotion, as expected of the Changge Sect, one of the seven sects of the Righteous Way, with a profound foundation, even such a young disciple has a good sense of advance and retreat when receiving guests, and speaks in an orderly manner.

After finally arriving at the place, Zhang Ze took another look at the still early sky, and Zhang Ze, who didn't feel tired at all, was going to go out for a walk around, at least to be familiar with the venue, so as not to get lost when he got lost.

He wanted to take Gu Qingfeng with him, but he was pushed away by the exhausted journey, so he didn't force it.

Now it is summer, the island is full of flowers, and the terraces are hidden among them, showing the beauty of gentleness and beauty.

"Tian Yi, after the Martial Arts Association is over, we will also find such a place, go boating on the blue waves, and have a good rest. It's a pity that I don't know how to make wine. I heard that lotus seed wine is a must in the south of the Yangtze River."

Zhang Ze smacked his lips regretfully.

Tianyi quietly listened to Zhang Ze's nagging, and said softly: "If the master wants to drink, the subordinates can brew it."

"That's great!"

Zhang Zexi smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a conversation nearby, the voice was quite familiar.

"Really? Junior Brother Bi, have you met someone from Nether?"

"Well, it's Shi Qiuyang, the nefarious thief from Youming. It's a pity that I didn't catch up and let him run away. I also wronged a kind-hearted person who passed by, and almost hurt him."

"What does Shi Qiuyang look like? All over the world, it is said that he has a sallow complexion, is as thin as a stick, and is extremely ugly."

"I don't know, he ran too fast, I didn't see it. Don't just talk about me, Master and the others said they wanted to discuss important matters. It's been half a day, why isn't it over yet?"

"It should be soon."

Only then did Zhang Ze realize that he had unknowingly walked deep into Changge along the path.

Although involuntary, eavesdropping is never a good idea.

Anyway, I've done a lot of shopping today, so it's time to go back.

He and Tianyi went back, just took two steps, only to hear someone behind him yelling: "Who!"
