Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 451 Lady
"I have a good friend named Guangyin, who is a fake monk. He spends his days eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. If someone dies in the city, he puts on a monk's robe and goes to the door of the house to chant sutras and ask for money. With his eloquent tongue, he can sometimes get someone to perform rituals for him, and he lives a comfortable life.

"As a result, half a month ago, I don't know what went wrong. I went to Wohugang to perform a ritual for a group of bandits. After that, I never came back. I wonder if you two masters can help me find him. If he is still alive, please bring him back to the city. If he is dead, please send me a message."

"Wohugang?" Gu Qingyi was stunned when he heard it and was about to agree immediately.

Unexpectedly, Malu next to him got there first and said, "Wohugang is a den of robbers. I heard there are several gangs of robbers there."

Shopkeeper Wan nodded. "Otherwise I will go by myself and won't bother you. How about this, if you are willing to help me, not only will you not have to pay for the red sandalwood coffin, but I will also give each of you a fine coffin."

"Ah, this is not a popular gift."

"What's the big deal? Everyone is going to die. Don't underestimate your youth. Look at the seven people lying in the coffins now. There are young people among them.

"Besides, I'm afraid a lot of people will die in the city in the next period of time. There won't be enough coffins by then, and those without coffins will have to be buried wrapped in straw mats.

"I'll leave you two fine coffins. It would be best if you don't need them, but if you do need them, you won't be left without them."

"It does make sense when you put it that way. But I don't need a coffin."

Malu said, "You'd better give me a discount. Wait, I changed my mind again and still want a coffin.

"I'll leave the coffin with you first. When more people die in the city, you can help me sell it and see who offers the highest price."

"........."

After leaving Wanji Coffin Shop, Malu and Gu Qingyi rushed out of the city before sunset. Wohugang was not far from Yuchang County, only fifty miles away, and could be reached in less than an hour by horse.

The government of Yuchang County also knew that there was a bandit problem in this area, and many county lieutenants had tried to suppress the bandits.

The constables and yamen runners could still deal with ordinary minions, but in addition to minions, there were also experts on Wohugang.

"The largest gang of bandits on Wohugang is from Shajiazhai." said Gu Qingyi.

Since she had already made up her mind to find Qin Feng, she naturally had to do her homework in advance. Now she told Malu about it while she was on the way.

"These people were originally mountain dwellers from nearby areas. About 20 years ago, there was a severe drought in Qingzhou. They could not pay taxes and grain, so they just rebelled together.

"The leader is called Sha Dingjun. He is born with supernatural powers. He was a lay disciple of the Vajra Academy before he became a bandit. He must have had some adventures after becoming a bandit. His martial arts skills are unfathomable.

“Although the Shajiazhai people are called bandits, they are actually mainly engaged in farming. They only come down the mountain to rob when the harvest is bad.

"The second group of forces after Shajiazhai is Black Tiger Village. The first and second in command of Black Tiger Village are a pair of brothers. They used to be frontier generals, but later they couldn't stand the stupidity and incompetence of their superiors, who withheld their military pay, so they ran to Wohugang and became bandits.

"They also brought a group of veteran soldiers. Although their number was small, their combat effectiveness was very strong and they could form a battle formation. It was them that Qin Feng later joined."

"Below the Black Tiger Village is the Xinghua Village. The village leader is Hong Xinghua, who is very good at using poison. This woman was able to gain a foothold in the bandit den and even become the boss. She should not be underestimated.

“In addition, the Five Ghosts Village has been gaining momentum in recent years. The Five Ghosts were already top-notch martial arts masters before they came to Wohugang, and each of them had their own unique skills.

"The government had previously hired many righteous masters to encircle and suppress the bandits on Wohugang, but they were eventually defeated by the four villages working together. This battle also made the bandits on Wohugang famous."

Malu didn't expect that there would be so many Crouching Dragons and Phoenixes in the small Crouching Tiger Hill. It seems that it is not easy to kill them directly. Malu is not worried about not being able to win, but mainly because there are too many people, and this card is a bit difficult to beat.

Each time he goes out, his total time is only seventeen hours, and he has to take into account the time spent on traveling.

The other side was going to use human wave tactics, and he estimated that he would be forcibly teleported back before he even climbed halfway up the mountain, so he still had to use some strategy.

Just as Malu was thinking about how to get up the mountain, Gu Qingyi had already taken out a package and opened it, revealing a set of clothes.

"I've thought of a new identity for you. If anyone asks you, just say you're a herbalist who was convicted of a murder and came to Wohugang to seek refuge with the Black Tiger Village."

"how about you?"

"I...I'll just say it's your sister."

Gu Qingyi bit her lip and said that she had not yet mastered the art of disguise. It might look fine from a distance, but it would not withstand close scrutiny. To be on the safe side, she would return to her female form when she reached Wolonggang.

Malu shook his head and said, "I can't be a herbalist. I know very little about medicinal herbs, and I don't know how to pick them. It will be easy to be exposed. I have a better idea."

"What's the idea?"

"I am He Qisheng."

"Ok?"

"I owed Ji Le Fang a large sum of money, including the gift of a hundred-year-old ginseng that the head of the Beggars' Sect asked me to give to the new leader of the sect. I tricked them into raising money, and that's how I got out of the gambling house.

"But Ji Le Fang was worried about me and sent experts to follow me secretly. I discovered and killed them. I was worried about Ji Le Fang's revenge, so I had no choice but to bring my wife to Wo Hu Gang to seek refuge in Hei Feng Village."

"What?" Gu Qingyi only heard what was said before and thought that Malu's move of borrowing He Qisheng's identity was very clever.

Almost everything he said was true, and there was evidence to support it. It was indeed more convincing than making up an identity of a herbalist out of thin air. What's more amazing was that Malu also knew He Qisheng's martial arts, Songxi Quick Sword.

This proves his identity as a disciple of Songxi Sword Sect better than anything else.

However, when he heard the last sentence, Gu Qingyi was dumbfounded again. His face suddenly turned red, and he even stuttered when he spoke.

"Why...why is it my wife? No, not my sister."

"Because you can't attack, your Bao Yuan Jue and Tie Yi Gong are too eye-catching. Once people see you, they will find that you are a member of the Tie Yi Sect." Malu explained patiently.

“And I’m at my lowest point right now. If you were just my sister, you wouldn’t have to join me in banditry. But if you were my wife, then that would make sense.

"In addition, the most important thing is that with this identity, no matter who suspects you and wants to fight you, I can help you stop it, because it is natural for a man to protect his woman. This can also reduce the harassment of you by other people on the mountain."

Malu's words left Gu Qingyi speechless. She realized that she seemed to have no other choice but to be his wife.
