Chapter 17 Meeting Tang Li for the First Time

This beggar was called Qian Jiafu, and he was also one of the nine protectors of the Southern Beggars. He was lucky to be one of the few people who were not injured that night.Qian Jiafu had also seen Zhang Liheng's inexplicable swordsmanship that night. Several guardians and even the leader of the sect were almost defeated by Zhang Liheng's sword. After just over a day, he actually let himself meet him alone.

When Qian Jiafu first came here, he heard that someone disrespected the Southern Beggars' Gang, and just wanted to go up and teach him a lesson, but who knew that this person turned out to be that young man with exceptional sword skills, and his intestines were green with regret.If Zhang Liheng was someone else, it would be easier to say, but he just happened to be on the wrong side of his Southern Beggars' Gang. Qian Jiafu had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend to teach his two subordinates a lesson. His two subordinates didn't know what was going on, they were full Wronged.

After Qian Jiafu taught the two subordinates a lesson, he apologized to Zhang Liheng: "This young man is really sorry. It's because I called Hua Hua to discipline my subordinates for not being strict. I hope you will forgive me! Forgive me!"

Zhang Liheng saw that Qian Jiafu didn't pester him anymore, and thought that he must be afraid of himself, and he didn't bother to argue with him, so he said: "From now on, you beggars from the Southern Beggars Gang just beg. Don't be so overbearing, don't think that the Southern Beggars Gang you can bully people”

Qian Jiafu quickly nodded in agreement, and said: "The young man taught you the right thing, beggars will take them back and teach them a good lesson! Then...we can go now"

Zhang Liheng said: "Let's go, don't get in the way of other girls."

When Qian Jiafu heard this, he seemed to be pardoned, said a few more polite words, and immediately kicked the two beggars' buttocks and hurried away.

As soon as the maid saw Zhang Liheng coming, she yelled at the beggars in a few words, and let out a long sigh: "This annoying beggar finally ran away!"

At this time, a pleasant female voice came from the carriage: "Kerr, those beggars are not blocking the way anymore?" The servant girl replied: "Yes, Miss, it was a passing young master who helped us send those beggars away." "beggar"

At this time, the curtain in the carriage was pulled open, and a head poked out from inside, it was a woman covered with yellow gauze, with black silk and silver bun.Although the woman's face could not be seen, her watery eyes were like stars. When the woman looked at Zhang Liheng, the curious look in her eyes was really beautiful.When Zhang Liheng was being sized up by the woman, he was also looking at the woman. When he saw the woman's eyes, he couldn't look away.

The woman noticed that Zhang Liheng's clear eyes were also staring at her, and a trace of shame flashed in her big eyes. She immediately turned her head, then went back into the carriage, and put down the curtain.A woman's voice sounded in the carriage: "Kerr, thank you, sir, for me."

The maid named Ke'er bowed to Zhang Liheng, thanked him and said: "Ke'er thanked this young master on behalf of my lady!"

Zhang Liheng was still standing there in a daze when the woman turned her head and went back to the car. He woke up from the daze when the maid Ke'er made a noise, and quickly turned around to salute, "You're welcome, girl!"

Seeing that Zhang Liheng was dumbfounded when she saw his lady wearing a veil just now, and seeing how embarrassed he is now, the servant girl couldn't help covering her mouth and burst out laughing with a "puchi"!
Seeing Ke'er's smile, Zhang Liheng's face flushed even more.Just when Zhang Liheng was in embarrassment, the woman's melodious voice like a yellow warbler came from the carriage: "Ke'er, get in the carriage and go on the road, it's going to be dark!"

When Ke'er heard the young lady's urging, she hurriedly said to Zhang Liheng: "Young Master is leaving", and then got into the carriage and rode away.

Just after the carriage had gone seven or eight feet, the servant girl Ke Er said to the young lady in the carriage: "Miss, the young man carrying the sword just now is very interesting, young lady, you have already put on a veil when you go out, so the young lady should look at you, young lady." Gotta be stupefied! He blushed later on." The lady inside said with a sneer, "You little girl, why are you staring at the young master so carefully? You can even see him blushing, so you're not shy!"

Ke'er continued: "It's okay for Ke'er to look at her a few more times, but I think if the young master is so fascinated by the young lady, he might fall in love with the young lady."

The lady smiled and said: "Little Nizi can talk nonsense all the time, isn't it her mouth that is itching to be beaten~"

When they finished speaking, they were only twenty feet away from Zhang Liheng. With Zhang Liheng's current internal strength, the master and servant didn't know that their conversation had been passed into Zhang Liheng's ears verbatim. Zhang Liheng's face was burning hot when he heard it Fiery, he watched the carriage gradually go away, feeling a sense of loss, an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

The carriage had disappeared without a trace. Zhang Liheng finally came to his senses when a gust of wind blew past. He shook his head. The watery eyes and the oriole-like voice of the woman covered with yellow gauze just now can't be erased from his mind. , muttered: "What a strange feeling"

The sunset was already halfway down, and Zhang Liheng was still walking on that road with few people.After the sun disappeared completely, Zhang Liheng didn't continue to walk, but found a forest and started a fire, planning to fight it here for the night, and then go on the road tomorrow.

Zhang Liheng found a hare in the woods, and was overjoyed. Tonight's dinner was settled.Zhang Liheng originally wanted to use some twigs or stones to hunt wild rabbits, but he remembered the scene of Qi Wuying's old beggar catching pheasants that day, and thought that he had learned the old beggar's gossip and free steps, so he also wanted to try it. The old beggar used this method to catch the hare.Zhang Liheng put down the idea of ​​looking for branches and stones, fixed his eyes on the hare, weighed the distance between himself and it in his heart, and took the gossip walk confidently!
It's just that Zhang Liheng's footwork has just crossed two directions, and the distance he stepped is less than two feet. The hare's ears moved, and it ran away with a "swish", quickly got into a bush and disappeared trace.Zhang Liheng was dumbfounded all of a sudden, the vigilance of hares is much lower than that of pheasants. The old beggar caught the pheasant without even alarming him that day. He wanted to catch a hare but scared the hare away. Is it that big?
What Zhang Liheng didn't think about was that he had only mastered Bagua Xiaoyaobu, and he couldn't even be called proficient.Zhang Liheng's ability to avoid the old beggar's five moves does not mean that he has a high level of attainment in this footwork, he is still far from the old beggar's level.This footwork is the unique technique of old beggar Qi. He has been immersed in this kung fu for decades, and he has already reached the level of proficiency. Not only is his figure as fast as lightning, but also every step is silent. .But Zhang Liheng had not learned this footwork for three days, and many places were still very unfamiliar. At that time, it was his limit to be able to use this footwork to avoid the old beggar's five moves.When Zhang Liheng was catching the hare just now, although every step was not slow, the sound he made when he stepped on the ground startled the hare. It's no wonder he didn't run away after the hare found it.

Although Zhang Liheng is extremely talented in martial arts, it can only be said that his comprehension in martial arts is higher than that of ordinary people, and he can learn a martial art faster than ordinary people, but it does not mean that he can be proficient in a martial arts without going through hard training.Talent is important, but hard work is also essential.It is also because of this that Zhang Liheng's inexplicable swordsmanship, the nine-style sword-breaking style, is obviously much more powerful than the twelve-style sword-breaking style he learned later. After all, Zhang Liheng has practiced the nine-style sword-breaking style for more than ten years. The first form is already deep into the bone marrow, and of course it is much better than the last twelve forms that are still being familiarized and explored.

After Zhang Liheng saw that the hare had run away, there were no other animals nearby to hunt, so he touched Dagu's belly, so he had to find some edible wild fruits around to fill his stomach and let it go.

Early the next morning, Zhang Liheng got up and performed light kung fu in the woods beside the road. He practiced light kung fu while driving, killing two birds with one stone.It was indeed much faster for Zhang Liheng to use his lightness kung fu than to walk. In less than two hours, he found people going to the market one after another on the road.

Zhang Liheng took light work and asked the people who were going to the market to find out that not far from the road was Changshu Prefecture of Pingjiang Prefecture, also called Changzhou.After performing lightness kung fu for nearly two hours, Zhang Liheng's internal energy was consumed a lot, so he walked into the city with the people going to the market, planning to find a place to have a good meal.

Zhang Liheng went into the city and found a restaurant to sit down. When ordering food, he found that the most famous dish in Changzhou was also called Huaji.Thinking of old Qi's beggar's beggar chicken, Zhang Liheng couldn't help moving his index finger, and called two.

While Zhang Liheng was waiting for the food to be served, he turned his ears to the side when he was bored, listening to the people chatting in the restaurant, and he also listened carefully to the conversation between the two people at the table near the door.At first glance, those two people were dressed as if they were walking in the rivers and lakes, and they also carried their own weapons with them. One had a horse face and the other had a beard. The two of them looked a little scary sitting together.

Zhang Liheng heard Ma Mian say: "I heard that the Tang family, the richest man in Changzhou, lost a batch of official silk a few days ago and almost caused trouble for the officials. Now they are recruiting a lot of money to escort the second batch of official silk, just to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Hu Zha asked, "Then why are silks and satins so valuable?"

Ma Lian said: "We don't care whether his things are worth money or not, the key is that the Tang family is willing to pay 5000 taels for someone to escort these things."

Hu Zhamian was stunned and said: "It's amazing, what kind of road is that, it's going to pay this price!"

Ma Lian said: "It doesn't matter what route he takes, even if it is sent to Fengdu City, it is worth going! When I passed by the Tang Mansion today, I saw that it was full of wanderers."

Hu Zha said: "Then we two brothers also go to try it?"

Ma Lian said: "Then you have to go and have a look. If you are lucky, you can get the 5000 taels, and you won't have to live a daily life like this!"

Hu Zhamian nodded sharply: "Yes, yes, after eating this meal, hurry up and try it!"

Zhang Liheng was also very curious when he heard it. He didn't fancy the 5000 taels of silver, but he heard that there were many people from the rivers and lakes gathered there.

At this time, Zhang Liheng's beggar chicken had already arrived. Zhang Liheng tried it, but it was not as delicious as the old beggar's. He was a little disappointed, but he still wiped out the two beggar chickens since he hadn't eaten meat all day.

By the time Zhang Liheng had eaten and drank enough, the two horse-faced and bearded-faced faces had disappeared, and he thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well go to the Tang mansion to see what was going on.

The Tang family is the largest mansion in Changzhou, so I found it after casually inquiring. When Zhang Liheng arrived at the gate of the Tang mansion, it was actually crowded with people from all walks of life in various costumes. He also found a few Taoist priests among them. If you don’t practice in a Taoist temple, you also come here to make the idea of ​​5000 taels.”

Zhang Liheng turned around outside the gate of the Tang mansion, but he couldn't get close at all. He looked around and saw that the Tang mansion was surrounded by high walls and broad tiles. When he had a playful moment, he performed light work and jumped onto the high wall .

Zhang Liheng looked down from the wall, and saw the scenery inside and outside the wall, the noise outside the wall, and the peace and quiet inside the wall.Zhang Liheng looked at the wall for a while, and suddenly saw several servants patrolling in the Tang Mansion. Thinking that he was Li Xia in the melon field, he quickly turned over and jumped into a rockery to escape the inspection of the servants.

At this time, the number of servants in the small courtyard of the Tang Mansion where Zhang Liheng lived suddenly increased. Zhang Liheng secretly complained, blaming himself for being playful, and jumping on other people's walls for nothing.Now it is impossible for Zhang Liheng to climb out of the wall here again. If he goes up, he will be discovered by others immediately, and he will be speechless by then.

Zhang Liheng had no choice but to walk around the rockery and use the undergrowth to avoid the attention of the servants, and carefully left the small courtyard with a lot of people through a side door, and went to another part of the Tang Mansion.To be careful, Zhang Liheng planned to go through a few more courtyards before climbing over the wall.

Zhang Liheng wandered through the Tang Mansion like a thief for a while, and arrived at a place that was wider than all the courtyards just now. Here he saw another servant, and then he was about to jump up the wall and go out.

Just when Zhang Liheng was about to stand up and perform lightness kung fu, a girlish voice of "Hey" suddenly came from behind him.This frightened Zhang Liheng quite a bit, but he felt that the voice was very familiar. Looking back, he saw the girl in yellow was sizing him up.

The girl was wearing a yellow shirt with a long white belt around her waist. She had a snow-white oval face that could be broken by blows, and her facial features were as delicate as jade carvings. Her black hair was randomly coiled on her head, and a pair of big watery eyes looked at her timidly. Zhang Liheng.

When Zhang Liheng met the girl's eyes, his whole body froze like an electric shock, it was her!When Zhang Liheng saw the girl's eyes, he recognized her immediately. This girl was the girl Keer Huan who Zhang Liheng met yesterday in the carriage. Even if the girl took off her veil, Zhang Liheng recognized her at a glance.

Zhang Liheng and the girl said at the same time: "It's you!"

Obviously, the girl also recognized Zhang Liheng.Zhang Liheng was embarrassed for a while, he broke into his mansion now, and immediately explained incoherently: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person, I... this is, I was just passing by, yes! I was just passing by and got lost by accident! "

After the girl heard this, she smiled "puchi" and said, "How can you come in and pass by the Tang Mansion surrounded by high walls?"

At this time, Zhang Liheng didn't know what to say, so he held back for a while, and said, "I...I'm going out now!" After saying that, he was about to start to climb over the wall.

The girl called "Hey!" Zhang Liheng stopped, and asked, "Can you fly around on walls, trees, and so on?"

As soon as Zhang Liheng heard the girl's voice, he immediately stopped his steps, as if he was very unwilling to leave here, and turned back to look at the girl. The girl was blinking and blinking at him, Zhang Liheng's mind suddenly fluttered, In a daze, he forgot to answer the girl's question.

Seeing that Zhang Liheng was motionless and unresponsive, the girl waved vigorously at him and said, "I'm asking you something!"

Zhang Liheng came back to his senses and knew that he was rude again, so he quickly replied: "I can jump out from here, I don't know if it counts as flying or not."

When the girl heard this, her face showed joy, and she said happily, "Then can you help me take down the kite from that tree?" She pointed in one direction as she spoke.

Zhang Liheng looked in the direction the girl was pointing at. A big tree was two feet higher than the wall of the Tang Mansion, and a purple butterfly-shaped kite hung on the top of the tree.

Zhang Liheng looked at the girl with a few strands of fluttering hair, and there was a trace of expectation on his face, and he replied, "Yes", and then jumped up on the tree with a light body and helped the girl. Take down the purple kite.After doing all this, Zhang Liheng didn't know why he helped this girl.

When Zhang Liheng was about to return the kite to the girl, he suddenly heard a maid's voice calling, "Miss, where are you?"

When the girl heard this, she saw Zhang Liheng in front of her, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly said to Zhang Liheng: "Hurry up and hide, don't let Ke'er see it!"
