Famous all over the world

Jiang Meiwu glanced at her, and said calmly: "I think this mountain road is extremely dangerous after all, so it should not be so."

Qin Caisang immediately looked at her aggrieved, "You go back on what you say, you don't keep your word, you break your word and get fat, you...you don't mean what you say!"

Jiang Meiwu couldn't help smiling, and let her scold for a while, before she said in earnest: "Speaking seriously, you shouldn't be too anxious, if you can't protect yourself, then you won't be able to save others."

Qin Caisang snorted, dissatisfied with her explanation, "Haste makes waste, I know, if you don't compare, don't compare."

Jiang Meiwu couldn't help but smiled again, and chased after her and walked side by side, "We'll compare after we get down the mountain, okay?"

Qin Caisang's eyes lit up again, "That's fine, it's just..."

Jiang Meiwu followed up with a smile and said, "Do you want to call your sister if you lose?"

Qin Caisang glanced at her, and finally said: "Okay, okay, do as you like, I'm not a bully like Lian Yunsheng, I just want to make things difficult for others."

Jiang Meiwu looked at her and smiled slightly, "Yes."

"And actually..." Qin Caisang looked up at the sky, "Oh no, I have to hurry up, I don't want him to take it lightly."

Jiang Meiwu replied, although the mountain road is winding, but firstly, the sky is bright, and secondly, the two people's footsteps are fast, they have already descended the mountain in a short time, as for the flat ground, they are ten times faster, and in a short time, they have come one after another To the front of the inn.

Qin Caisang was slightly better, and proud of herself, she turned her head and glanced at Jiang Meiwu before walking in front of Hou Zhongyi.

The little old man was sitting on the ground smoking a pipe. Although he was the leader of the beggar gang, he was not so sloppy and could be regarded as clean and tidy. He was still wearing the little leather jacket and the little melon skin hat from last night. There was no sweat on his face.On the contrary, she felt hot all over after watching him, afraid that she couldn't help tearing him apart, and quickly looked away after saying hello.

Jiang Meiwu saluted, and said: "It's rude to wait for a long time, Senior."

"It's okay, it's okay." Hou Zhongyi stood up slowly, with a smile still on his face, "The little old man has only arrived not long ago, but why did you two come outside?"

Jiang Meiwu unconsciously glanced at Qin Caisang, Qin Caisang didn't know what she was thinking, so she just said: "I just took a walk outside."

Hou Zhong let out a sigh, but didn't ask further, "Then can the two girls have breakfast?"

Qin Caisang looked at Jiang Meiwu, "It's enough to eat some dry food on the way, please wait a little while for the two of us to unload the luggage."

Hou Zhong nodded his head, "Go, go." After speaking, he smacked his pipe twice to make way for the two of them.

Xiaoer was cleaning the table in the lobby, and she wasn't too surprised to see the two of them coming in from outside. She only showed some surprise in her expression when she heard that they were going to pay the bill, but she didn't say anything, she just shouted out The shopkeeper went to the back to lead out the mounts for them.

Qin Caisang felt that his expression was different, not as cheerful as yesterday, so he couldn't help asking, "Why doesn't the second brother seem to be able to cheer up? Could it be that we were so tired that the second brother was punished yesterday?"

Hearing the words, Xiaoer raised her head and looked at her, her expression seemed flattered: "Thank you for your concern, the shopkeeper never punished the villain, it's just..." He suddenly sighed for a long time, Qin Caisang was about to say to him There is no need to force it, but he continued, "The villain just heard the guest from Jiu'an talk about the death of Zhuang Zhu Wen, and now he can't turn the corner."

He was still sighing, and Qin Caisang was also shocked, "The second brother is talking about Master Wen of Taihang Mountain Villa?"

"Is there any Master Wen in Jiu'an?" Xiaoer shook his head, "That's the one. Alas, girl, tell me, the old man managed to survive until now, and he was supposed to enjoy a few years of happiness, so why did he suddenly die? What? It’s true that good people don’t live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.”

Qin Caisang couldn't help shaking her head, this happened so suddenly, I just heard that he had gone through dangers yesterday, and now I heard that he was going west on a crane.

Hou Zhongyi suddenly came over, "I don't know how the old man died?"

Xiao Er sighed again, "It is said that it was a stroke after drinking, and it happened suddenly, so I couldn't be saved, but it was too sudden... Master Wen is a martial artist after all." He handed the reins to her and her respectively. Jiang Meiwu, "The rivers and lakes are dangerous, the two girls should take care, the villain is so stupid, so I don't need to bother you to give me advice."

Qin Caisang was slightly taken aback, and then remembered that she had indeed promised to teach him a few tricks yesterday, but seeing him make a gesture and walk in the door full of desolation, she didn't call out to stop him.But since it was a drunken stroke, it should have nothing to do with the Stone Sect, she sighed lightly, and said to Hou Zhongyi that it could be done.

Hou Zhong nodded his head, said he was going out of the city from the east gate, but he walked to the front and led the way.

Qin Caisang looked back and forth, and was sure that he was neither leading a horse nor riding a donkey, so he couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, "Does Master Hou need to travel instead?"

Hou Zhong let out a puff of smoke, and patted his leg with his hand, "You beggar, it's natural to walk around the world with two bare legs."

Qin Caisang glanced back at Jiang Meiwu, saw her nodded, thought to herself that the leader of the beggar gang must have mastered lightness kung fu, so she didn't say any more, but when she raised her head, she could see the green hills, and she couldn't help it Thinking about the matter of the Wen family again, I couldn't help sighing: "Meiwu, the world is really impermanent, the two young heroes of the Wen family are also pitiful, they can't wait to see their father again."

Thinking about it this way, the time she has been out is not too short, and when this matter is over, she must go back and take a look quietly.

Jiang Meiwu opened her mouth slightly, but before she made a sound, Hou Zhongyi suddenly said, "This incident is indeed sudden, but this Zhuang Master Wen is not the father of the two young gentlemen, but his uncle." Putting the pipe into his arms, he also sighed, "He has never had any children, so when the two young gentlemen came to Zhuzhou, the little old man thought it was a fraud. Who knew what happened to the Wen family? There are many things, no wonder when I saw him in the past, I saw him with a gloomy face, a good gambler and a good drinker. It's not easy for him to pick such a guy...to be the owner of a village, what else can he do except bow his head under the eaves of others?"

That's right, being the same as the Eight Great Families, he should know a lot, but just listening to what he said, why do you really not know what's going on?Qin Caisang still couldn't believe it, "Old leader, it is reasonable to say that the Eight Great Families are united, and the disciples of the Beggar Clan are all over the world, why is there no one to help the Wen family?"

"That's true. I don't know at all. If you know, why don't you let it go? Can't you believe it? In fact, if you don't pay attention to the private affairs of the sect, how can you inquire so carefully? The little old man knows now. It’s all from the brothers of the Wen family.” Hou Zhongyi gave a wry smile, “I’m not afraid of the little lady’s jokes when I say it, although there are many disciples of my beggar gang, and the disciples of the eight families are all over the world, but if we can really know everything , how can there be today's troubles?"

Qin Caisang didn't expect him to admit his mistake directly, so he had some respect for him, "Then, do seniors know what happened to the Wen family back then? This junior just feels that if there is no accident, Dongmiao wolf shouldn't be able to take advantage of it."

Hou Chongyi seemed a little puzzled, "Back then? What does Miss Qin mean?"

Qin Caisang explained a few words, saying that after listening to the story told by the second child last night, she thought about it, only to feel that the Wen family suddenly withdrew that year, and then the owner of the Wen family was injured again, there must be some Hidden secrets.

After hearing this, Hou Zhong shook his head, "This little old man doesn't know. You can ask the two of them later. It's just that if Miss Qin's conjecture is true, I'm afraid the two of them won't open their mouths even if they know. , after all, this is a private matter of the sect."

What he said was reasonable, and Qin Caisang nodded unconsciously. Fortunately, she didn't need to get to the bottom of it, so after a few words of exclamation, she didn't say anything more. She only asked what the arrangement of the trip was. He said he was going to Yuqu to take a boat, but he thought it was quite interesting.

Jiang Meiwu suddenly said: "Old leader, do we have to travel by water?"

Hearing her tone, Qin Caisang felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the waterway. Although he didn't know the reason, she knew that she must have a reason, so she also turned to look at Hou Chongyi, only to see that he still smiled lazily and said, "Hit here. To get to Fu'an, it's more than a thousand miles, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if I don't have water."

Jiang Meiwu still frowned slightly and said: "Dare to ask the old leader, are we going to travel to heaven or tunnel?"

Hou Zhong breathed out a puff of smoke contentedly, "Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, we little people naturally travel through tunnels."

"But senior..." Jiang Meiwu suddenly reined in her horse, "Now that the Whale Gang has fallen, I'm afraid the tunnel is not very peaceful."

Hou Chongyi still smiled and pointed upwards with his pipe, "Bridges return to bridges, roads lead to roads, nine suns go down, isn't there another one standing in the sky?"

Jiang Meiwu frowned, "Is the old gang leader pointing at Shaotian to the young gang leader?"

Hou Zhong continued to drink some tobacco, then smiled and nodded, "It's him, young lady, just take it easy."

Jiang Meiwu finally nodded slightly, and said loosely, "Since that's the case, it's all up to senior's arrangement."

Qin Caisang couldn't hear it, but didn't make a sound, just listened quietly, seeing that the two of them had made an agreement, she urged the broom star to go again, and asked, "What waterway?" , What is the heavenly way? Who is that Young Master Xiang? I seem to have heard someone say the word Whale Gang..."

She looked at Jiang Meiwu eagerly, Jiang Meiwu smiled lightly, and explained to her from the beginning: "The so-called authentic roads are official roads and private roads. Today's imperial court strictly controls ships, public and private, all have to register On the register, every time you leave the port, you have to pay taxes. Official waterways are like chariots and horses, you just pay, but you have to stop at every stop, and there are some delays. Private waterways are mostly merchants’ own boats, and you can take one by the way. Half way, but the price is cheaper. If you say that you are a relative, the official will turn a blind eye and let it go. Although these two are called public and private, they are actually on the bright side. In addition, there is another kind, which is the chartered boat. This is a real private road, and it is not a customary waterway, but a trail that only local boatmen know. Some goods cannot pass the eyes of the officials, so they can only go Go over there. These trails are controlled by the Whale Gang, and the benefits for leaving the port are not only the official share, but also the Whale Gang. And the Whale Gang has now belonged to the Stone Church, so this private road may not be very big Be safe. The Whale Gang is both good and evil. It has always only been in the water business. It has no deep friendship with the Eight Great Families, and there is no great conflict. The young leader of the Whale Gang is the young master of the Whale Gang. Now the old gang leader died under Lian Yunsheng. Hand, the hatred of killing one's father cannot be shared with the sky, I am afraid that his heart of hatred is no different from ours."

"So that's how it is." Qin Caisang thought to himself that Lian Yunsheng really caused trouble everywhere and made countless enemies. Didn't the heavens want him to perish and drive him crazy? "But since the private road is not safe, we can take the official boat, and the younger generation can still afford the money."

Hou Zhong shook his head, "Although the little lady has good intentions, but she is going to the sky, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

Qin Caisang frowned unconsciously, "So, when did Lian Yunsheng set a deadline?"

Hou Zhong sighed, "This month is the seventeenth."

Qin Caisang turned her head to look at Jiang Meiwu, "What is today?"

Jiang Meiwu's expression froze slightly, "It's already the fifth day."

...that was a real rush.Qin Caisang glanced at Hou Zhong suspiciously, feeling that he was clearly not in a hurry, "Why didn't Master Hou say so earlier? We could have traveled all night."

Hou Zhong laughed dryly, "Isn't everything ready and the only thing we need is the east wind? Master Xiang's boat will not be ready in a short while. The little old man will send the letter only after he knows the girl's news. He may not be ready at this time." Just catch up with Yuqu."

But that's all... that's all, Qin Caisang shook his head, anyway, the matter has come to this point, it's more serious to hurry on the road immediately, so he urged the broom star to go fast.On the way, seeing that Hou Zhong didn't give up, she felt a little admiration. Looking back, she thought about the boat ride and smiled. She has never sailed in the river, so it should be interesting, right?
