The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 164 The Legend of the Black Knight

After Hong Kang returned to Pucheng, he found that the atmosphere in the city had changed.

Not so panicked.

After meeting Yang Kenan and the others, he heard from Yang Kenan that the matter had been temporarily resolved.

As for how to solve it, Yang Kenan didn't say.

It just said that Zhang Yi was in contact with the Southern Army, and kept silent about the rest.

Hong Kang understood that this should involve some secrets of the Southern Army, so he didn't ask any more questions.

For Hong Kang, this is the end of the matter.

Bai Ling and the others had already avenged their revenge, and it didn't cause any major commotion.

"The kids have already been sent to the provincial capital, and your apprentice is here too. Is Brother Hong planning to go there?"

"No, I have some thoughts on cultivation recently, and I need a peaceful environment to study. Pucheng is very good here."

"Then your apprentice..."

"Teacher Yang, please contact Mrs. Zun and ask him to bring Xiao Chuan back."

"It's not troublesome, by the way. I originally wanted to let their mother and daughter take refuge; now that the matter is settled, it's time for them to come back."

Zhang also didn't plan to meet Hong Kang, but just told his subordinates not to take him lightly.

He didn't want his memory to have problems again.

After Liu Cheng knew that Hong Kang was back, he hurriedly asked him to come back to sit in charge.

Before Hong Kang was not around, he was restless.

It was his idea to surrender to Cao Shaolin, but it was only a stopgap measure.

With his cunning in business for many years, how could he really trust the words of a playboy? !
I just want to stabilize Cao Shaolin first, and then flatter him and offer some good things, so as to secretly transfer assets.

Now that Cao Shaolin is dead, Cao Jun seems to have no intention of pursuing it.

But that's just a superficial phenomenon. What if Cao Jun and the Southern Army don't agree? ? !

Although Yang Kenan didn't reveal what Hong Kang was doing that night, Liu Cheng himself had a guess.

Because the news that Cao Ying was assassinated and killed by an assassin in black had already appeared in the newspaper.

Assassin in black? ?
Hong Kang was always dressed in black, and his martial arts were strong, and on the night of the accident, Hong Kang was not in Pucheng.

Combining these several factors, it is extremely possible that Hong Kang is the black-clothed assassin.

Even if not, Liu Cheng would not dare to offend such a great master.

……

More than half a month passed quickly.

In the past half month, regarding the news of "Cao Ying's assassination and death", those warlords who received the news had different reactions.

Some have long seen Cao Ying unhappy and think that he is self-inflicted; some who have relations with Cao Ying worry about whether their own interests will be affected; some wonder if they can take the opportunity to occupy Cao Ying's territory...

But no matter what, they were extremely wary of the black-clothed assassin.

If he can assassinate Cao Ying under the guard of [-] garrisons, will he come to assassinate himself? ?

They don't care whether Cao Ying is a villain or not, they only know a martial artist, and they dare to assassinate people of their status just because they know a little bit of martial arts!

What audacity! !

On the surface, they praised the knight in black one after another, but secretly, they ordered to vigorously monitor the martial arts sects under their rule, and some warlords chose to recruit those warriors.

But among the common people, this knight in black has a very good reputation.

After all, he killed the dog warlord Cao Ying, which was really satisfying.

Even, in the word of mouth of the common people, what punishes the evil and promotes the good, looks better than Pan An, has a hulking waist, blue face and fangs... all are set on him, and the more it spreads, the more outrageous it is.

As for the plan of those warlords to occupy Cao Ying's territory, it also came to nothing.

Because of Zhang Yi's rise.

According to their understanding, Zhang Yi was originally just a colonel under Cao Ying, and by some means, he quickly took over the command of the garrison in Stone City.

The [-] troops that originally belonged to Cao's army and fought against the southern army on the front line received the news of Cao Ying's death.

Then I heard that Zhang Yi became the commander-in-chief and ordered them to retreat.

They already felt that the southern army's offensive was fierce, and they seemed to always be able to predict how they would fight. The more they fought, the more upset the army became, so they retreated smoothly.

When they retreated, they were strictly guarding against the Southern Army's pursuit, but the Southern Army just occupied their original position of defense and did not move forward, which made them puzzled for a while.

After Ma Feng stayed in Pucheng for so long, seeing that he was almost useless, he offered to leave.

Hong Kang and Yang Kenan came to see him off.

With a piece of dog's tail grass in his mouth, Ma Feng said, "I should go, so take care."

"If you have a chance to come to Pucheng again, remember to ask me." Yang Kenan said with a smile while carrying his daughter on his back, "I'll help you trim your beard again, no money will be charged."

Ma Feng said: "If you want to wander the rivers and lakes and become a wanderer, you can also come to me."

Before the adults could speak, Yang Kenan's daughter yelled emphatically, "I want to roam the rivers and lakes, become a heroine, and eliminate harm for the people."

These words immediately made people laugh.

Hong Kang clasped his fists together: "Brother Ma, the road is far away, safe journey."

Ma Feng clasped his fists in return: "Take care!"

Yang Kenan asked, "Where are you going?"

Ma Feng got on his horse: "I don't know, I'll go wherever Taiping wants me to go."

After speaking, he pulled out a strip of cloth and covered his eyes.

"Taiping, let's go."

Several people watched Ma Feng walk away along the mountain road.

Where Hong Kang and the others could no longer see, Ma Feng's speed gradually slowed down.

As if aware of something, Ma Feng took off the bandage from his eyes and saw a figure waiting there.

It was Zhang Yi, followed by a group of guards.

"I thought you should be very busy now, after all, you just took the position of commander-in-chief."

"No matter how busy you are, there is still time to see you off. After all, this farewell, I don't know when we will see you again?!"

"...Okay, I accept your favor as a junior."

"If you encounter any trouble outside in the future, remember to come to me."

"With a senior brother like you as a backer, I will definitely come to you!"

"Then...you cherish it all the way!"

"You have to take care of yourself. Although you are handsome, there are many people staring at you."

"I have it in my mind."

When Ma Feng gradually disappeared from his sight, Zhang Yi looked to the other side, which was where Hong Kang and the others were.

The reason why he came alone to see Ma Feng off was because he didn't want to meet Hong Kang.

……

After Ma Feng left.

Hong Kang continued to live in Liu Cheng's home.

Liu Cheng also provided the master and apprentice with medicinal materials as always.

It's just that now Hong Kang needs one more thing - knives.

Hong Kang wants to practice the method of stimulating sword energy, so he must have a need for swords.

Fortunately, what Hong Kang needs is not a precious sword.

On the contrary, all kinds of knives of different quality can better make him realize the difference in the aura of knives stimulated by different materials.

In just half a year or so, the saber energy that Hong Kang can arouse has increased to a length of three feet! !

And the price was nothing more than breaking dozens of knives.

Compared with his "Nine Dragons", although the attack distance is much shorter, the advantage lies in the fast excitation speed.

Today's Hong Kang can arouse the sword energy at the moment of thought; unlike "Nine Dragons", there is always a one to two seconds of forward movement time.

Hong Kang can't let people only pay without return.

In order to thank Liu Cheng for providing supplies for more than half a year, he decided to do Liu Cheng a favor.
