Zongwu: Our Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 31
Dawn breaks, and a smear of golden morning light falls on the ancient road through layers of smog.

On the ancient road, two figures were chasing one behind the other, at a very fast speed, faintly bringing out afterimages.

"Oh...it can't be done, it can't be done, the old beggar is too old, he can't compare with you young people."

The figure in front of him stopped.

The man was an old beggar with white hair and a beard. His cheeks were flushed and he smelled of alcohol. The big red gourd is drinking wine.

"Senior Hong deliberately gave in, so don't make Qiao happy..."

"drink wine."

Hong Qigong laughed loudly, and threw the wine gourd over, "Old Wang has a good eye, you, Qiao Feng, are indeed a talent who can stand up to Liang."

A middle-aged man named Qiao Feng, with a burly figure and plain clothes, a Chinese character face and piercing tiger eyes, not angry and pretentious, took the wine gourd with a smile at this time, and drank it freely. It slid down the side of the cheek and wet the soil.

"Hahaha... good wine, good wine!"

"Waste, it's too wasteful, Qiao Feng, you can't drink like this."

Hong Qigong saw it in his eyes, felt distressed, and quickly grabbed Qiao Feng's strong arm.

Qiao Feng rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Senior Hong, Qiao will be in Yueyang Tower another day, how about treating you to a banquet."

"This is what you said."

"nature!"

"All right."

Hong Qigong smiled and waved his hands, and tied the wine mustache back to his waist, "Let's stop talking here, it's still a long way from Dali King City, so we have to hurry up."

Qiao Feng nodded, and was about to speak, when he saw five or six people gathered at the end of the road ahead, he couldn't help but feel strange.

"Senior Hong, look over there."

Hong Qigong was slightly startled, and looked in the direction of Qiao Feng's finger, "It's too far away, I can't see clearly, let's get closer and have a look."

"it is good."

……

Long Peng frowned, looking at the two figures rushing towards him, he said in his heart, "I heard the movement of these two people from a long distance away, with such foot strength and speed, their strength is extraordinary, and I don't know if they are enemies or friends."

Thoughts flickered.

Long Peng looked at Baby Gan who was crying with Qin Hongmian and others.

"Mrs. Zhong, just now someone sent true energy to Valley Master Zhong, temporarily saving his life, but if you continue to delay like this, there is no guarantee that he will still be able to survive."

The crying Baby Gan raised his head with sobs, and said in a shy voice, "Thank you...thank you young man..."

"You don't need to thank me, just thank Mr. Duan."

"Thank you, Mr. Duan."

Duan Yu waved his hands again and again, "Don't dare, dare not, Mrs. Zhong, let's bring Guzhu Zhong back quickly, Xiaosheng will go to find the best doctor in the city."

Gan Baobao wiped the corners of her eyes lightly, and nodded. Her pale cheeks had turned a sickly red at some point, her almond eyes were red and swollen, and there were traces of tears, which made people feel pity when they saw it.

"Cough cough..."

Duan Zhengchun coughed twice, got on the horse, "Baby, come on the horse."

"Don't dare to trouble Prince Duan."

Gan Baobao picked up Zhong Wanchou on his back without raising his head, and sat on the dark, muscular "Black Rose".

Duan Zhengchun's expression was a little awkward, and he pulled his sleeves unnaturally, "Hongmian, then you..."

"roll!"

Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, then sighed faintly.

Long Peng glanced at Duan Zhengchun with a little playfulness in his eyes.

Duan Zhengchun practiced "Yang Zhi", the internal force is pure and yang, in terms of healing ability, it must be stronger than Long Peng's "Beiming Shengong".

But when he faced Zhong Wanchou just now, he was procrastinating, and he didn't intend to save people.

Long Peng reckoned that this was the move that offended Qin and Gan.

Seeing Duan, Qin and the others leave, Mu Wanqing hesitated for a while, and said, "Long Peng, Black Rose can't sit down anymore, I'll ride back to the city with you."

Long Peng shook his head and replied, "Now that the person has been found, I'm going to return to the Central Plains."

"You...you have to be so anxious, or..."

As Mu Wanqing spoke, her voice became much lower, as thin as a mosquito, "I still really hate me so much..."

With a calm face, Long Peng asked knowingly, "Miss Mu, what did you just say?"

"Nothing! I'll walk back by myself."

Mu Wanqing yelled, seeing that Long Peng didn't respond, she became even more angry.

But seeing the two voices that were approaching, Long Peng was very angry at his dantian, and said loudly, "I haven't asked the two names of Gao."

As soon as the words were spoken, the withered and yellow leaves of the surrounding trees trembled uncontrollably and fell one after another, like flying snow.

"This person has such deep inner strength."

Qiao Feng could already see the appearance of Long Peng and the others. Seeing that there were faint immature marks on Long Peng's cheeks, he estimated that he should not be over [-]. He met Hong Qigong's eyes, and they both saw the eyes of each other. surprised.

"Qiao Feng of the Lower Beggar Gang, the one next to me is Hong Qigong, the old leader of Hong, I don't know how many of them are..."

Hearing this, Long Peng was slightly taken aback, looked carefully for a while, and felt a little relieved, "I met you two in Xialin Qiye."

"It turns out that it's Gang Leader Qiao and Senior Hong. Next, Duan Zhengchun, please be polite."

That Duan Zhengchun showed joy, and hurried up his horse to meet him, "Senior Hong, the emperor has already informed you of your coming, and the emperor has set up a banquet in the palace, and he is waiting for you to come to the banquet."

Hong Qigong nodded, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly, the old beggar spends the whole journey, and has no time to eat something good."

Duan Zhengchun smiled, looked at Qiao Feng again, and asked doubtfully, "I don't know what Qiao's sect master is talking about coming to Dali?"

"This……"

Qiao Feng looked around, a little unsure if he was going to tell the whole thing,

Hong Qigong took a step forward, "What's so embarrassing about this, the old beggar told me, hurry up and get on the road, I'm so hungry."

Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this "Northern beggar", one of the five masters, was really as gluttonous as the rumors said.

"Okay, okay, please."

Hong Qigong lightened his body, landed on the big bluestone by the roadside, half-lyed down, drank some wine, and whispered,
prior to
The "five ugly people from Tibet" came to the Central Plains to do evil. Hong Qigong got the news and pursued them all the way. He met Yideng on the way, and learned from Yideng that Dayuan sent masters to Dali.

Hong Qigong wanted to end the matter of the "Five Ugly People in Tibet" before heading to Dali. Unfortunately, the "Five Ugly People in Tibet" were too cunning and escaped from him several times relying on their familiarity with the terrain. .

Hong Qigong was helpless, he didn't want to waste time, so he had to give up for the time being, and went south to Dali to help Yideng, and then in Shenjie Temple, he met Qiao Feng who was investigating the cause of Master Shaolin Xuanbei's death.

As soon as the two came together, they came to Dali together.

After Hong Qigong finished speaking, he smashed his mouth and asked curiously, "Since you know the danger outside, Prince Duan, why did you go out of the city? Are you not afraid of being captured?"

"This one……"

Duan Zhengchun looked back at Baobao Gan who was about to disappear, and said slowly, "I... just went out of the city for a private matter."

As the saying goes, people get better with age.

As soon as Hong Qigong was old, he was naturally not stupid. Duan Zhengchun's expression could tell that he was tricky. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, his ears twitched slightly, and he frowned.
