Feiyun and the other three entered the hall, and Lu Hu immediately introduced them to Zhu Zheng, the helmsman of the Tanzhou branch, and Zhou Yi, the deputy helmsman. Feiyun and the others quickly saluted Zhu Zheng and Zhou Yi. Zhu Zheng and Zhou Yi returned the salute and asked them to sit down.
Feiyun sat down, with good weather and beautiful scenery standing behind him. Zhu Zheng and Zhou Yi felt strange, but they didn't ask any more questions. Lu Lu first said: "Young Master Lin, when did you come to Tanzhou? Where are you going?"
Feiyun replied: "Elder Lu, after I left the capital, I went to Jinling. Now I am going to return to Nanyue to visit my master. As you know, we have been away from home for a long time, so naturally we miss him very much."
Lu Lu then remembered that Feiyun's hometown was in Nanyue. Then Feiyun asked Lu Hu how he came to Tanzhou, and Lu Hu said that he came to Jiangnan for inspection.
Zhu Zheng continued: "Young Master Lin, if you have any orders when you come here today, please speak frankly."
Feiyun did not answer, but looked at Liangchen. Liangchen naturally understood and said hurriedly: "We don't dare to take orders seriously. It's just that we want to know about Xiangmen and the gambling house!"
Xiangmen is resurrecting in the Tanzhou area and is becoming more and more powerful, which is naturally not what the Beggar Clan wants to see. It's just that they didn't provoke the Beggar Clan, so it was inconvenient for the Beggar Clan to come forward. Now that someone is taking the lead in dealing with these two factions, it is naturally a good thing for the Beggar Clan.
Besides, Feiyun and the Beggar Clan leader Wang and Elder Lu Hu have been friends for many years, and Zhu Zheng and Zhou Yi naturally know that. Zhu Zheng immediately understood what Liangchen meant and said with a smile: "Young Master Liu and Miss Liangchen, do you want us to find out their lair?"
Liangchen nodded and replied: "Two helmsmen, we know that your gang is well-informed, and any troubles in the world cannot escape the eyes of your disciples. Therefore, I take the liberty to come to ask for help, and hope that your gang can help!"
Zhu Zheng thought for a while and said: "For such a big matter, we should have asked the gang leader for instructions. Fortunately, gang leader Wang had previously told each branch that if Shaoxia Lin needed help, everyone in the gang must try their best to help. Now you and Elder Lu We are friends again, so we will naturally cooperate with you fully. Don’t worry, we will keep a close eye on them, and if anything happens to them, we will let you know immediately!"
Feiyun was overjoyed and immediately raised his hands and said: "In that case, thank you two helmsmen!" Zhu Zheng returned the courtesy: "Young hero, you don't have to be polite. This is just a piece of cake for this gang. What should we do if we have news? Inform the young hero?"
Feiyun thought for a while and said: "I will be at the Tanzhou Inn for the time being. You can contact me there! Of course, if I don't stay at the inn, you can also find me at the Jiedushi Yamen."
Zhou Yi asked doubtfully: "Young Master Lin, do you know them?"
Liangchen smiled and said: "To be honest with the two helmsmen, my eldest brother is a friend of Gao Jiedushi, and we have a good relationship."
Zhu Zheng and Zhou Yi were shocked, stood up in a hurry, saluted, and said: "It turns out that the young hero is still a friend of Gao Jiedushi. It's disrespectful. It's disrespectful!"
Lu Lu continued: "Don't be surprised, Shaoxia Lin is still a popular figure in front of the current Queen!"
Feiyun had no choice but to stand up and return the greeting: "You two helmsmen, there is no need to be polite. I don't care about the government, I only care about the morality of the world. But this matter should not be publicized, so please keep it secret."
Feiyun's words are true. He is not interested in high-ranking officials in the imperial court and is only interested in traveling freely. This was Feiyun's personal privacy, so Zhu Zheng and Zhou Yi naturally agreed.
Feiyun's matter has been settled, and he left a lot of gold and silver and said goodbye to the two helmsmen. Zhu Zheng and his wife originally didn't want to accept the gold and silver, but Feiyun insisted, saying that when he encountered difficulties, the Beggar Clan helped him, and he was grateful.
Lu Lu and the others knew that Feiyun had just sealed off the gambling house, so they naturally thought that Feiyun had to deal with a lot of things, so they did not hold them back and personally sent the three of them to the door before turning back.
After leaving the Beggar Clan's branch, Meimei complained about Liangchen and said, "Second sister, why did you tell them so clearly about my eldest brother? This may expose my eldest brother's identity."
Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "I did this intentionally. Think about it, with the ability of the Beggar Clan, I am afraid that I have known about this for a long time. If we take the initiative to explain, doesn't it show that we treat people with sincerity? If we deliberately conceal it, it will make people feel that We’re not really friends with them.”
After hearing this, Feiyun Liu nodded and said: "Third sister, Liangchen's words make sense. This matter was originally an honest matter, and there was no need to hide it. I was just worried about causing resentment and alienation from people in the world, so I didn't Take the initiative to mention this.”
The three of them walked while admiring the street scenes on both sides. Feiyun suddenly remembered Zhu Xiong and Dongfang Qinglong who were captured alive, and asked: "With the good timing and beautiful scenery, are you sure you can persuade Dongfang Qinglong to surrender?"
Meimei thought for a while and said: "I think it's difficult. I heard that Dongfang Qinglong was favored by Zhu Zhifu, and later learned martial arts. Zhu Zhifu was very kind to him. He not only gave him generous rewards, but also thought highly of him. He regards Magistrate Zhu as his benefactor and is extremely loyal. It is probably impossible to persuade him to betray Magistrate Zhu."
Liangchen thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, it is indeed difficult. But it depends on the human condition. Let's give it a try. If we can convince him, that would be the best. If it doesn't work, it will do no harm to us. At most, it will be a waste of breath and time. . Maybe we can get some clues from his words, it’s possible. I feel that it would be unbearable to kill him like this."
Meimei sighed and said: "I heard that this Dongfang Qinglong has not done anything evil. In fact, he is not a heinous bad person. He is just because he followed the wrong person, and his crime is not worthy of death! Brother, what do you think?"
Feiyun had already heard Liangchen and Meimei's regret and sympathy for Dongfang Qinglong, and understood their thoughts. After all, he was born in a world of martial arts, so he naturally appreciates the behavior of Dongfang Qinglong.
But Dongfang Qinglong followed Zhu Xiong and was inevitably affected. From a chivalrous knight, he became a loyal subordinate regardless of right and wrong. In fact, this is the same as Liangchen and Meimei's loyalty to him, it's just that I have more care for Liangchen and the two.
Feiyun thought for a moment and slowly replied: "Don't worry, although he has done some evil things, he was deceived and instigated by others after all. Even if I can't convince Dongfang Qinglong, I won't take his life. At the beginning Since I can let Qin Yang go, I can let him go now. Give her some chances, maybe one day he will find his way back!"
Liangchen and Meimei were naturally happy after hearing this, and they both praised Lord Feiyun for having a lot. Feiyun laughed and scolded the two of them for being flatterers, and told Liangchen and Meili to go to the theater later.
The three of them talked and laughed and returned to the inn. Afterwards, he asked Liangchen Meimei to go to the theater together, and tried his best to persuade Dongfang Qinglong that they should return to the inn before dark. Liangchen and Meimei nodded in agreement and left immediately.
Feiyun then had a conversation with Lan Xing and Tian Xiang, and then went to the backyard to see Lian'er. When he went in, he saw Lian'er practicing her sword in the yard. She was sweating profusely and her clothes were soaked and clinging to her body, revealing her uneven figure.
Feiyun was stunned and couldn't help but stop. When Tianxiang saw Feiyun's appearance, she pushed him quietly and said softly: "Brother, I think Miss Lian'er is in a bad mood. You'd better go over and spend some time with her!" After that, he left quickly.
Feiyun was stunned for a moment and then understood what Tianxiang meant. Since meeting Lan Xing, he has never had the chance to talk to her alone, and he rarely practices with her.
Lian'er didn't care about other things, but she cared about Feiyun's attitude towards her. When Feiyun saw Lian'er practicing her sword hard, he obviously thought that he disliked her for her low martial arts skills, so he was indifferent to her. Feiyun thought of Lian'er leaving her parents and traveling across the world for her own sake, and felt very grateful and pitiful.
Feiyun saw her panting from exhaustion and felt extremely distressed. He hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Lian'er, take a rest and don't practice anymore." Lian'er turned around and saw Feiyun, smiled slightly, and sheathed her sword. .
But as soon as Lian'er stopped, she felt dizzy and shaky. Feiyun was shocked and turned pale. He hurriedly put his arms around her slim waist and said, "Lian'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Lian'er's face was flushed, and she whispered affectionately from the corner of her eyes: "Brother, I'm fine, I just feel a little tired."
Feiyun said hurriedly: "I'll take you back to your room to rest!" He couldn't help but pick up Lian'er with both hands, walked into Lian'er's room, and gently laid her on the bed.
Feiyun saw that Lian'er was sweating and her face was red, and knew that she had practiced excessively. He first found a towel, soaked it with warm water, and then gently wiped her sweat.
Lian'er saw Feiyun busy for her and said softly: "Thank you, brother."
Feiyun said complainingly: "You really shouldn't be allowed to practice martial arts. How can you not care about your body so much? Martial arts can't be practiced in one day. You should know this. Why are you so eager to achieve success?"
Lian'er replied softly: "Brother, I hope I can help you more in the future."
Feiyun said softly: "It's my fault. I haven't talked to you these days. Are you thinking wildly? I have said before that your weight in my heart is no less than anyone else's. I won't allow this in the future. I will If I have time, I will accompany you well."
Lian'er smiled shyly and said, "I know, I'm too impatient, so be careful in the future." Liu Shui gently held Lian'er's jade hand and said, "This is my good girl!"
At this time, Tianxiang walked in with a bathtub and hot water, and said: "Brother, sister Lian'er has just finished practicing and is covered in sweat. You go out for a while, and I will wait for her. When it is finished, you guys can't wait any longer." Speak slowly!"
It turned out that Tianxiang did not go far, but looked at the two people from a distance. When she saw Feiyun carrying Lian'er into the room, she went to prepare hot water. Seeing that it was Tianxiang, Lian'er blushed and thanked her. Feiyun nodded, stood up and came to the door.
After a while, Tianxiang opened the door and whispered: "Brother, it's your turn to go in and serve Lian'er! I'll be waiting outside the door. If you need anything, please say hello!" After saying that, he took the bathtub, left the room, and closed the door. .
