The sun rises in the east, the rooster crows for the first time, and Chenzhou City, which has been quiet all night, returns to its liveliness and prosperity.
After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing finished washing, they went downstairs and were about to eat, when gongs and drums sounded in the market and there was a lot of people. They felt it was new and ran to the door to watch the excitement.
A group of police officers came from the east with their heads held high. The leader of the arrest was a man who was nearly forty years old. He was tall and strong, and his voice was deep and powerful.
The catcher took the notice and showed it to passers-by on both sides, and said to them: "Chenzhou people, listen, the Hebei Army Marshal Zhang will arrive in Chenzhou in the near future. I hope you will stop talking nonsense and discussing military affairs and government. Households and vendors along the street must abide by the law. If anyone tarnishes Chenzhou’s local image during Mr. Zhang’s arrival, Chenzhou government will definitely settle the score in the future.”
After that, the catcher glanced around. When he saw Fu Tianpeng standing by the door with a long sword on his back, he immediately came to him in a swagger.
The catcher tilted his head, and then looked at Fu Tianpeng with his small sparrow eyes.
After a while, the catcher coldly warned Fu Tianpeng that it was best not to cause trouble, otherwise he would be put in jail.
After that, he walked in front of the team again and finally disappeared into the crowd.
Fu Tianpeng smiled faintly, turned around and said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, they all say that the new prefect Dong is an upright person. Now that I have a look, I know that the rumors in the market should not be trusted."
Before Zhao Xueqing could answer, an old man selling melons shouted at Fu Tianpeng: "Young man, you don't know anything, what are you talking about?"
Fu Tianpeng hugged the old man and was about to leave. However, the old man stopped him in front of him, and then told him that Dong Zhifu had just arrived, and some things were co-organized by Ma Sanyi, the headhunter. This kid is flattering, flattering, and does all kinds of messy things, but doesn't do serious business.
After listening to the old man's story, Fu Tianpeng asked with a smile: "Old man, if Ma Sanyi is so unbearable, why does Magistrate Dong keep him in the Yamen?"
The old man snorted, took over the words and said: "Prefect Dong must have taken the time to test his subordinates, otherwise this guy will definitely get out."
After that, the old man picked up the load of firewood and left without looking back.
Looking at the old man's leaving figure, Zhao Xueqing said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, this Master Zhang is really interesting. He was beaten by Hami Chi in Shuncheng before and ran away. He doesn't want to know his shame and be brave, so he studies the art of war." Fa, if you have any leisure time, come to Chenzhou."
Fu Tianpeng clenched his fists and said with a sigh: "It's a shame that traitors are in power in the court. A good general like Yue Shuai, who is loyal to the country, was dismissed from office and kicked out of the temple. Instead, people like Zhang Jun were re-employed."
Zhao Xueqing said: "Brother Tianpeng, Zhang Jun is a man who loves success and is narrow-minded. He is not a marshal."
Fu Tianpeng was speechless. His eyes looked into the distance with a more solemn expression.
After talking for a long time, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing returned to the restaurant and found a seat to sit down and eat.
The two of them drank wine and ate vegetables, chatting leisurely all over the country.
At this moment, five people came in from the door, all carrying luggage and dusty.
The person walking in front was an old man with a gray beard, about sixty years old. Although he was skinny and shriveled, his eyes were as bright as the deep sea. Fu Tianpeng looked at him and the old man smiled at him.
Following the old man were two men and two women, both seventeen or eighteen years old.
Among them, the girl wearing a navy blue soft gauze silk shirt turned her head and glanced at Fu Tianpeng. At this time, she saw that Fu Tianpeng was also looking at her.
The girl Xingfenchuntao's face turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head and walked away in a hurry.
Zhao Xueqing picked up the chopsticks and hit Fu Tianpeng's head hard.
He said angrily: "I think your soul has gone with others. You fall in love with each other. When I find a chance, I will tell Sister Ouyang and Sister Liu what happened today. Let's see how they deal with you."
Fu Tianpeng rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Sister Qing, how dare I?"
Zhao Xueqing rolled her eyes at him and said casually: "You are both evil and courageous."
After hearing this, Fu Tianpeng asked her quietly: "Tell me, why am I so bold?"
Zhao Xueqing's face turned red, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
The old man and his entourage followed the waiter upstairs and came back down soon.
He raised his fists and saluted to the shopkeeper and all the distinguished guests: "Everyone, Sun Chengyi, an old man, is a traveling artist. Standing next to me are my four apprentices. Our troupe is called Fuyi Opera Troupe. We will meet in the past few days. We perform here and hope everyone will support us."
Just after Sun Chengyi finished speaking, someone shouted: "Hey, Lao Suntou, I think these two female disciples of yours, each with a beautiful face and tender skin, might as well marry me. I I’ll see you take care of yourself until the end of your life, so that you don’t have to travel around.”
This person's words caused roars of laughter from all the guests present.
The woman in blue was so angry that her pretty eyebrows stood up, and she said to the man: "You dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth."
The man sneered a few times and said to the woman in blue: "Girl, I want to ask you, have you ever seen a dog that can spit out ivory?"
The woman in blue was stunned by the man's words and immediately became ashamed and angry.
She waved her fist to teach the troubled drunkard a lesson.
However, Sun Chengyi grabbed her, and then said with a smile: "Bixia, what are you doing? We are in the business world, and we have to rely on the help of all the uncles. If you get angry and cause trouble, won't you ruin the business?"
Seeing Sun Chengyi showing weakness, the man threw a bunch of coins from his arms. He said: "You're a bad old man, but you know what's going on. I'm happy to give you some face today."
When he handed the coin into the old man's hand, he kept his eyes on the woman in blue.
This prodigal son said to Sun Chengyi: "Take good care of her. I will personally come to propose marriage in a few days."
After that, he turned around and left.
Fu Tianpeng said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, what's going on in Chenzhou? When did a rotten fish and shrimp come out?"
The young man from Fulang glared at Fu Tianpeng with goldfish eyes, then pointed at him and said, "Boy, who were you scolding just now?"
Fu Tianpeng snorted coldly and said, "If you admit that you are worse than stinky fish and rotten shrimp, then you are talking about you."
The young man from Fulang swallowed, bared his teeth at Fu Tianpeng, turned around and left the restaurant.
At this time, Sun Chengyi came over to express his gratitude to Fu Tianpeng. He warned Fu Tianpeng not to get into trouble for unnecessary trivial matters.
After the old man turned around, Fu Tianpeng saw Bixia looking at him with watery eyes.
Zhao Xueqing coughed lightly and said, "Brother Tianpeng, your luck has arrived."
Fu Tianpeng bowed to her and followed her out of the restaurant.
The two came to a secluded place, and Fu Tianpeng asked Zhao Xueqing, what is Sun Chengyi like?
Zhao Xueqing's pretty eyes were filled with anger, and she replied angrily: "Why, you want him to be your master?"
Fu Tianpeng said: "Sister Qing, what nonsense are these?"
Zhao Xueqing giggled and replied softly: "It's really interesting to see you angry."
Zhao Xueqing smiled for a while, frowned, and told Fu Tianpeng that the Fuyi Theater Troupe was by no means an ordinary theater troupe, especially that Sun Chengyi.
After hearing what she said, Fu Tianpeng also told Zhao Xueqing his thoughts. He said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, Sun Chengyi's eyes are hale and hearty, and his eyes give off the feeling of the deep sea. This person must have profound internal martial arts."
Zhao Xueqing nodded.
Fu Tianpeng said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, Zhang Jun is going to Chenzhou soon, and now there is a Fuyi Opera Troupe. I think there may be some connection between the two?"
Zhao Xueqing said: "Zhang Jun has no talent in commanding troops and generals. After he goes down, wouldn't it be better if Commander Yue can regain his command? Why do you care about such bad things?"
Fu Tianpeng shook his head and continued: "I am worried that this Fuyi Opera Troupe may be harmful to Yue Shuai. So I want to stay here and find out their movements."
Zhao Xueqing snorted: "I think you are a drunkard who is not interested in drinking. You found such a good excuse to stay because you want to take the opportunity to get close to Bixia."
Fu Tianpeng was anxious, stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Xueqing in his arms, and said to her: "Sister Qing, you are the only one in my heart."
The intimate behavior between the two was seen by a salesman.
Zhao Xueqing's face was like a crimson cloud and she kicked Fu Tianpeng.
She said with shame and annoyance: "Brother Tianpeng, you are going to die in front of everyone."
The two of them made up their minds to stay in Chenzhou to see what trouble Zhang Jun was going to have, and also to pay attention to the movements of the Fuyi Opera Troupe.
That night, the autumn wind blew up and dark clouds covered the moon. All the guests had fallen asleep, and the door of the room next to Fu Tianpeng quietly opened.
Sun Chengyi said to his disciples: "Are you ready?"
The disciple replied: "Ready."
Sun Chengyi said: "Everyone should go out through the windows without making any noise. After climbing to the eaves, close the windows."
The disciples whispered in agreement, and Sun Chengyi left with the four of them.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw that Sun Chengyi and the other five went to the deciduous forest in the north of the city, so they followed them quietly.
In the collapsed temple, three masked men appeared.
One of them said: "I sent you to sneak into each city and wait for an opportunity to steal the city defense map. Now two methods have succeeded, but you two have done nothing in Chenzhou, what use are you left with?"
The man in black who spoke had a fierce look in his eyes, and he was about to kill the men kneeling in front of him.
The two men begged again and again, and they told the man in black that Zhang Jun would come to Chenzhou in the next two days. Then he would create trouble and then go to Chenzhou Mansion to steal the city defense map. And someone in the government office has already agreed to help.
The man in black heard this and asked: "You have a good idea, but you don't know if the insider is reliable?"
The two men said to the man in black: "Chief, please don't worry. That man is the government's chief arrester, and he is greedy for profit and unjust. We have spent a lot of money to buy him, and promised to help him get rid of Dong Zhaozhi and let him Sit on the throne of the prefect of Chenzhou."
The chief nodded, then opened his eyes as wide as an eagle and reminded the two men that dogs that bite their owners must not stay in the world.
The two men understood, and they replied to the general manager that as long as Chenzhou's city defense map was stolen, they would eradicate it, including Dong Zhaozhi and Ma Sanyi.
Just as the three men in black were plotting to steal the map, Sun Chengyi broke in with four disciples.
Sun Chengyi said to the three of them: "The bold and evil thieves dared to go to the territory of the Song Dynasty to steal the map."
When the chief executive saw this, his two evil eyes emitted a terrifying cold light. He gritted his teeth and said to Sun Chengyi: "Old immortal, if you dare to spoil my good deeds, I will kill you today."
Having said that, the chief officer's footsteps were like the wind, and he clapped his palms continuously, "The moon can be seen on a lonely mountain."
He slapped Sun Chengyi with sharp palm skills.
