The assassin's martial arts were barely adequate. Without Ding Chunqiu, they were evenly matched. But as soon as Ding Chunqiu joined, the gap became too obvious.
Huang Shang didn't know what to say other than "not overestimating one's abilities."
Looking at the figure of the assassin, Huang Shang's eyes flickered and he was thoughtful.
Just when the assassins were in danger and in danger, another black shadow appeared on the rooftop opposite and flew into the fighting circle. Before anyone arrived, the wind of the palm had arrived.
Ding Chunqiu hurriedly turned around to take over, but was knocked away by this fierce and sharp palm.
Ding Chunqiu was shocked. He flew far away by flying upside down to relieve his force. His palm strength was so strong that he had never seen it before in his life.
Taking advantage of Ding Chunqiu's retreat, the man in black struck again, and the wind of his palm knocked the remaining Xia warriors off their feet.
The sprinters who followed shouted: "Let's go!"
He turned around and flew out of the courtyard, with the assassins following closely behind him.
The last man in black is tall and has strong palms. Who else could he be besides Qiao Feng?
Huang Shang had also known for a long time that the assassin was a member of the Beggar Clan. Others did not recognize them, but he had seen Ma Dayuan and Wu Changfeng and could recognize them even if their faces were covered.
Huang Shang watched the whole process with cold eyes, neither rescuing nor helping. Whether they could escape or not depended on their luck.
It seems that they have good luck, Qiao Feng arrived in time.
Huang Shang quietly left his room and disappeared into the night.
Here, Qiao Feng rescued the heroes of the Beggar Clan and fled westward, leaving Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo. When he saw no one chasing him, he stopped and hid in a secret stronghold of the Beggar Clan.
Qiao Feng pulled off the black scarf that was covering his face, and the others also pulled off the black scarf. The four elders of the Beggar Clan, except Elder Song, were all present, and they all suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Ding Chunqiu was still not decisive enough in taking action. Maybe it was because he wanted to take the live ones without using poison, but it was also due to his confidence in his martial arts.
If Qiao Feng hadn't arrived suddenly, no one would have been able to escape.
Qiao Feng asked in a deep voice: "Brother Ma, three elders, are you okay?"
Qiao Feng had no idea about the assassination of the Xia envoy this time. He had always kept in mind his master's teachings and should not take national affairs for granted.
The Song Dynasty was newly defeated, and the Xia envoy died in the Song Dynasty. The impact on the relationship between the two countries cannot be understood by a group of reckless heroes, nor can it be solved simply and crudely.
Even if Qiao Feng had the idea of assassinating Ambassador Xia, he would discuss it with his master first, not to mention that he had no such intention.
The Beggar Gang's assassination of Xia Envoy was led by Ma Dayuan, and the three elders participated, completely behind Qiao Feng's back.
It was Qiao Feng who came after receiving the news from elsewhere. Qiao Feng was worried about the safety of the heroes of the Beggar Clan and was also worried that the reckless actions of the Beggar Clan would have counter-effects.
Qiao Feng really didn't know that it was Huang Shang who received the Xia envoy. He didn't even know what Huang Shang was doing now.
Ma Dayuan said: "We are fine, thanks to Brother Qiao arriving in time."
Qiao Feng wanted to say something to Ma Dayuan, but he didn't know how to say it. Ma Dayuan and Qiao Feng are both deputy gang leaders of the Beggar Clan, but Ma Dayuan is older and senior, and Qiao Feng must respect them.
Qiao Feng just nodded and said: "Then let's rest here for the night and return to the main helm tomorrow."
After speaking, Qiao Feng left Ma Dayuan's room and returned to his residence.
He closed the door and couldn't help but sigh.
After a sigh, a chuckle appeared outside the door.
Qiao Feng was shocked. He didn't know there was someone outside the door. This was something that had never happened since he entered the world.
Qiao Feng shouted in a deep voice: "Who?"
He was shocked, but Qiao Feng didn't panic at all. He didn't know what panic meant.
The door was gently pushed open, and a thin figure stood outside the door.
"Master!"
Qiao Feng was overjoyed. The person standing outside the door was Master Huang Shang.
Huang Shang smiled slightly and stepped into the house.
Qiao Feng asked anxiously: "Master, why are you here?"
Huang Shang said: "I watched a good show tonight, and I followed the actors all the way here."
Qiao Feng said in surprise: "Master is also in the post house?"
Huang Shang laughed and said: "I am the leader of Duting West Station, and everything there is under my control. This time, I will be the host of the reception for the Xia envoy."
"ah!"
Qiao Feng really didn't expect that he only knew that his master had won the top prize, but he didn't know what position he was in. It turned out that there was such a coincidence.
Fortunately, Ma Dayuan and the others did not succeed this time. If they succeeded, wouldn't they let Master sit on the wax?
Although Qiao Feng had no knowledge of this assassination, since it was done by the Beggar Clan and he was the deputy leader of the Beggar Clan, he could only bear the responsibility in front of an outsider like Huang Shang.
Qiao Feng said: "Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were involved in this matter."
Huang Shang shook his head to show that he didn't care, and asked: "Who planned this?"
Qiao Feng didn't want to gossip about others behind their backs, as if he was not responsible, but he was really innocent in this matter, and he couldn't lie to the master. He said: "I don't know about this. I heard about it afterward, so I came here. I'm afraid Something happened."
He didn't say who he was afraid of.
Huang Shang nodded and said: "This is the right thing. If you are so reckless, it will really be a waste of all my years of hard work."
With the trust of his master, Qiao Feng finally felt some comfort in his heart.
But then Huang Shang chuckled mockingly: "At the moment when the Song-Xia war was newly defeated, you didn't know about the assassination of the Xia envoy."
After speaking, he shook his head slightly, full of disdain for Qiao Feng's situation.
Qiao Feng was embarrassed and angry.
When he joined the Beggar Clan with full confidence, he did his best, even at the expense of his master's family interests. In the end, such an important matter was carried behind his back.
Qiao Feng was able to become the deputy leader of the Beggar Clan with his unstoppable and unstoppable attitude. Firstly, he relied on his strong force. Even Wang Jiantong at his peak could not match him. Secondly, he relied on the support of the middle and lower-level gang members. .
Ma Dayuan, on the other hand, relied on his roots, good relations with senior officials, and the support of Wang Jiantong.
Wang Jiantong couldn't let Qiao Feng dominate, especially since his identity was so sensitive.
Huang Shang turned a blind eye to Qiao Feng's embarrassment and continued to ask: "You didn't ask them what they thought?"
Qiao Feng shook his head. He didn't know what tone to use to ask them.
Huang Shang said: "Xia Envoy is here for peace talks. If successful, he can exchange for peace on the northwest border. What is the reason why the Beggar Gang wants to assassinate Xia Envoy in the Song Dynasty?"
Qiao Feng could only swallow the bitter water in his stomach. How could he criticize his colleagues at this time?
Qiao Feng could only say: "Just like what Master said, the world is rough and can't see the relationship between countries clearly. If you are determined to serve the country, you are doing a disservice."
Huang Shang smiled and shook his head: "The two countries are at war without killing each other. You don't need to have studied, even if you have just watched a play, you shouldn't know it. I don't know about the elders of your Beggar Clan. Maybe their intelligence is relatively incomplete and they can't see it. I can't argue with the consequences of this incident, but Ma Dayuan is definitely not such a person. Based on the few limited contacts I had with Ma Dayuan, he is by no means a reckless and brainless person. On the contrary, he is thoughtful and cautious. Wang Jiantong treats him Very dependent, which is different from relying on you."
