After not seeing him for a few days, the beggar seemed to have become even more sloppy, his face was covered with plaster, his hair was disheveled like a straw stack, and his ragged clothes were stained with deep and shallow stains.

When everyone saw him, they showed expressions of disgust, but Lu Dongqing was overjoyed.

Lu Dongqing has seen his skills and been inspired by him, and has always been grateful to him. However, the last time he left in a hurry, he didn't even have time to ask his name. He never expected to meet him again, and immediately smiled Said: "Little brother, so you are here!"

The beggar didn't even glance at the others, he looked directly at him, and said with a smile: "I was too lazy to come, but I was afraid of delaying the delicious food and wine, so I reluctantly showed my face."

His tone was arrogant, as if the table full of delicious food and wine was prepared for him.

Everyone was even more unhappy when they heard the words, and they all lowered their faces: "Where did the beggars come from? They are so ignorant."

The beggar walked like flying, and came to Lu Dongqing's table in a blink of an eye, grabbed the proprietress who was serving the dishes, and said: "I have never seen any of the guests here, should I introduce them?"

The proprietress was afraid of avoiding it, and she put down the dishes and wanted to leave, but she was caught by the beggar's dirty hands, so she could only turn around and said reluctantly: "This is a serious banquet, not for you. Just join in the fun, you go out quickly."

The beggar curled his lips: "Oh, the proprietress has a really good memory. Back then, she relied on my protection everywhere. She said "little ancestor" on the left, and "little god" on the right. Now that she has a new backer, she turned her face and refused to recognize anyone?"

The proprietress was blushed by what he said, and she lowered her voice and said: "Little ancestor, little god, please go out obediently first, if there are leftovers later, I will pack them all to honor you, it will be done."

Seeing the embarrassment on the proprietress's face, Lu Dongqing stood between the two of them, cupped his hands at the beggar and said, "Little brother, we can't eat these meals. If you like it, just pack it up and take it."

Although there are not many meals on the table, the best ingredients in the tavern have been used. What is particularly conspicuous is a bowl of hot braised pork. It has just come out of the pot and is emitting the aroma of fat.

The beggar patted him on the shoulder and said with a grin: "Brother Lu is still very loyal, but the weather outside is getting colder every day. I want to sit on the table and eat. Can I borrow your bowl and chopsticks?"

"Okay, okay." Lu Dongqing took the chopsticks for the beggar, and handed over the wine bowl just now.

As soon as the beggar's dirty hand touched the edge of the bowl, he was slapped severely by others.

It was a well-dressed son who took the picture of him: "I said, brother, you are too ignorant of flattery. Lu Shaoxia is generous, so he gave you the meat. This wine was specially dedicated to him. You have to ask for it." Is it?" He snatched the bowl back and stuffed it back into Lu Dongqing's hand, "Lu Shaoxia, you can drink as much as you want, don't act like a beggar."

Lu Dongqing didn't want to see the embarrassment of both parties, so she smiled apologetically: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." After finishing speaking, he brought the wine bowl to his mouth.

The beggar had sharp eyesight and quick hands, grabbed the wine bowl in his hand, held it to his mouth and took a sip, then the bowl fell to the ground.

The sound of the porcelain bowl shattering resounded through the tavern, and everyone shouted in astonishment: "Tsk, what's the point of drinking with these cheapskates, let's go, let's pack the food and drink, and I'll take you to a good place."

After that, he took out a jug from his ragged sleeves, poured the wine in the jar into it, and took out a cloth bag, poured the peanut beans and chicken legs on the table into it.

Lu Dongqing was also very surprised: "Little brother, what are you doing?"

The beggar grinned, showing two rows of white teeth: "I also have many beggar friends who want to pay their respects to you, you can follow me."

"This..." Lu Dongqing frowned, "It's hard to turn down the kindness of everyone here, how can you break the appointment casually, how about this, I will visit your friend later, I don't know what you want."

The beggar curled his lips and said: "It will be late later, we have a banquet for you in the desolate temple at the west entrance of Wutong Town, if you don't go, you will die."

That was even more distasteful, and the fan in his hand stabbed at his shoulder: "Is there anything on the beggar's banquet, is it possible to use lice to fry meat and fleas to soak in wine?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

The beggar turned a deaf ear to him, taking advantage of everyone's chatter, he leaned close to Lu Dongqing's ear and whispered: "Don't forget that you still owe me a favor. If you come with me now, you will repay it."

"Favour?" Lu Dongqing was puzzled.

The beggar lowered his voice and said, "Haven't you ever wondered why the hidden dam on the Ganyi River burst suddenly?"

Lu Dongqing was stunned: "So it's you—"

Seeing the beggar's silent gesture, he swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his throat.

On that day, if the hidden dam on the Ganyi River hadn't burst, making it impossible for boats to sail on the river, they probably wouldn't have had time to stop Feng Tingjian and take Yue Baiyu back.

The Yushan people have not been able to find out the reason why the hidden dam was blown up. In the end, it can only be attributed to the chaos of the sky and the help of the gods. However, it is not the gods who help them, but the sloppy beggar in front of them.

In this way, the beggar should have grasped the traces of the Demon Cult long ago before he could take action at the right time.

He couldn't help looking at the beggar's face again, who winked at him.On a dirty face, a pair of lively eyes were exceptionally bright.

He immediately looked at the beggar with admiration, and he believed that no matter what the real identity of the beggar was, it was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.

When his thoughts were wandering, Lu Zhengqiu, who had been sitting in the banquet, stood up, nodded to the beggar, and said: "Little brother is really a strange person, I really want to see what your banquet looks like." He winked at Lu Dongqing.

Lu Dongqing understood, turned around and bowed to everyone: "I'm sorry, please sit down first, don't worry about us, we will go back as soon as we go."

The three of them walked out of the tavern door like a gust of wind in full view.

The beggar walked quickly, and soon got into the alley opposite the tavern.

Lu Dongqing followed behind him. Seeing that the road he took was getting narrower and narrower, she couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder: "Wait, little brother, this is not the direction to the west exit."

"Of course not." The beggar stopped outside a gap, pushed the two of them into it, and said in a low voice, "Shhh, we're here to hide from people."

"Who are you hiding from?"

"Look for yourself." The beggar pointed out the direction of the alley.

As if in response to his words, there was indeed a rush of messy footsteps outside the alley.

Lu Dongqing poked her head out cautiously, and found that a group of guests who were chatting and laughing just now came out of the tavern, lined up in an orderly row, and ran towards the west of the city.

The leader was that decent young master, he completely lost the smiling expression just now, with a stern face, he said: "Hurry up, don't let anyone run away."

"I understand now." The beggar said behind him, "You are really sincere, do you really think they are all from the Jianghu?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not, they are all spies from the government, and they came here specially to find you."

"Government?" Lu Dongqing was shocked.

The beggar nodded and said, "That's right, what happened in the Lingquan Valley has reached the ears of the government, and everyone wants to know what happened in the valley, so this banquet was set up to bring the two of you back and ask the truth about what happened in the valley." The truth of the matter."

Lu Dongqing looked at him in astonishment.

The beggar shook his head: "Oh, your master has already seen it, so he readily followed me, only you are still kept in the dark."

Lu Dongqing couldn't help pursing her lips tightly.

He didn't doubt because he didn't want to doubt.

It was Mrs. Qi who took him to the tavern, and the proprietress was the one who arranged the food and drinks. He really didn't want to see the person who once gave his life to save him betray him.

The beggar sighed again and again, and wanted to say something, but Lu Zhengqiu patted his shoulder.

Lu Zhengqiu smiled at him, and said: "My disciple has a good character and is upright by nature, so I would rather be trustworthy than suspicious in everything, and hope my little brother Haihan."

Lu Dongqing was suddenly praised by her master, and she was stunned for a moment, feeling even more ashamed.

If you just hone sword skills, but don't hone your mind and character, you're talking about galloping in the rivers and lakes, fighting against the demon sect, and protecting the master.

The beggar did not continue to make things difficult for him, but smiled, looked at him and said, "Young Xia Lu... No, I should call you Young Master Di, you are indeed his son."
