Jianghu are all masters

87.

Zhang Xiaoyuan poured vegetable oil into the pot, lit the fire, and was full of confidence, thinking that the next egg in his hand would definitely turn into a bowl of peerless delicious food.

However, his speed of beating eggs was a little slower, and it took a little longer to pick up the eggshells. Before he could pour the egg liquid into the pot, the oil in the pot suddenly caught fire.

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at the soaring flames and was at a loss.

He grabbed the water at hand and was about to pour it into the pot, but Lu Zhaoming reacted quickly, at least he held down his hand and put the lid on the pot.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was terrified.

"Brother! The pot is leaking water!" Zhang Xiaoyuan hugged Lu Zhaoming's arm tightly, "The pot cover...will the pot cover burn too!"

Lu Zhaoming was quite calm.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine in a while." Lu Zhaoming took the bucket of water away from his hand, "Scrambled eggs are too difficult, let's make something simple."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

But... what else is simpler than an egg?

Lu Zhaoming extinguished the fire in the pot, poured a pot of water, and started to boil the eggs.

"Just for a while." Lu Zhaoming said, "Fill your stomach first, and then get some delicious food when Second Junior Brother wakes up."

Zhang Xiaoyuan lay on the table where ingredients were piled up in the kitchen, staring at the boiling water in the pot, hoping that the water would boil faster and the eggs would cook faster.

Just after the effect of the drug in the black shop was over, he himself was sleepy in a mess, but when he lay down on the table, he couldn't open his eyes, the water in the pot was bubbling, and he closed his eyes in a daze, unexpectedly Just fell asleep again.

It took some time before he felt Lu Zhaoming gently push his arm.

There were two white round eggs in front of him - it was the first time he felt that seeing eggs was such a happy thing.

He and his senior brother had been busy all day and were hungry until it was almost dawn. Finally, they squatted in the kitchen of the black shop and peeled two eggs.

It's too awful.

Zhang Xiaoyuan wanted to cry for himself.

They tossed about in the kitchen all night, the sky outside had already turned white, Zhang Xiaoyuan was sleepy and hungry, he stuffed undercooked eggs into his mouth mouthful by coincidence, feeling as if he had never been so down and out in his life Pass.

And the kitchen door slammed again, which made him jump up and look out.

Hualiuque stood outside the house with a limped leg and a blank expression on his face.

"I heard a voice here, so... I came here to have a look." Probably because the effect of the drug hadn't completely passed, his tone of voice was unclear when he spoke, and his tongue seemed to be stuttering, "Aren't we ...Have you encountered a black shop?"

……

The efficacy of the drug obviously varies from person to person, Hua Liuque woke up much faster than Jiang Jianyu, Jiang Jianyu was still sleeping soundly on the table outside, but he was able to walk around smoothly.

He listened carefully to Zhang Xiaoyuan's narration of their painful journey of begging for food, blinked his eyes in obvious surprise, and asked, "You...don't know how to cook?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan corrected him: "The second senior brother will!"

Hua Liuque really couldn't hold back her tongue and sighed with emotion: "Aside from practicing sword and martial arts, don't you usually do nothing?"

Although Zhang Xiaoyuan hadn't practiced sword or martial arts for many days, he still couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Do you have to do other things?"

Flower Bird: "..."

"If you are a great sect with thousands of disciples and hundreds of servants, it's fine if your disciples don't do chores." Hua Liuque sighed, "There are only five people in your sect—"

After a pause, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten to include himself, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "If you count me, there are only six people!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan picked up the rice bowl containing eggs, showing aggrieved face.

It's not that he doesn't want to work, it's just that he stretches out his hands to eat and opens his mouth at home. He's already used to that kind of life. If no one around him clearly tells him what to do, he really can't think of doing those chores.

For the first time, Hualiuque rolled her eyes at Lu Zhaoming confidently.

"If you want to grab a woman's heart." Hua Liuque vowed, "First grab her stomach!"

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

He rolled up his sleeves, picked up the spatula, took a step forward, and opened the lid of the pot.

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that he saw hope again.

88.

For the first time, Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that having a full meal was such a happy thing.

It was already dawn outside, he was full and sleepy, leaning on the chair and drowsy, after lying down for a while, Jiang Jianyu finally woke up.

Zhang Xiaoyuan got up and decided to sleep in the carriage again.

The proprietress of the black shop owner and their accomplices are still tied up outside. There is no front or back of the village or shop, and of course there will be no government servants, but if these robbers and robbers are left where they are, after they escape, Maybe he will do something harmful again.

Going forward, the nearest government office still needs more than a day's journey, but if you go back...it only takes half a day to return to Fengji County.

So the four of them went to the martial arts conference together, went out for a day, and returned to Fengji County in the afternoon.

It's still the familiar county government, familiar with the butt that swoops in.

Wen Tingting was sitting in the yard gnawing on plums, when he turned around, he saw the brothers patrolling the streets helping Lu Zhaoming bring back several shirtless men, and shouting to her happily: "Catcher Wen! Shaoxia Lu helped us catch thieves again." !"

Wen Tingting spat out the plum core.

"So much?" She opened her eyes wide, "Xiao Yuan, Shaoxia Lu, are you determined to fill up the prison cells of the county government?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan smiled awkwardly: "We were out on errands, and happened to pass by a black shop..."

Wen Tingting called people to come up and put these culprits in prison, and frowned while looking at the wounds on their bodies.The bandits who kidnapped the bride who were escorted back last time were still injured, and Hua Liuque's leg was treated with money from the county government. Why did they bring back so many wounded people this time.

Did Lu Zhaoming want to empty out the county government office?

"Lu Shaoxia." Standing five feet away from Lu Zhaoming, Wen Tingting sincerely suggested, "Can you strike me lightly next time?"

Lu Zhaoming frowned slightly: "...you can try."

Wen Tingting said again: "I think Master Qi should give you an award."

Zhang Xiaoyuan waved his hand: "We're just going along the way, so there's no need for that."

"By the way?" Wen Tingting was curious, "Where are you going?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan replied: "Wulin General Assembly."

Wen Tingting looked yearning, excited in his heart: "That's what the storyteller often said——"

Zhang Xiaoyuan has already begun to nod.

Yes, that is the martial arts conference.

Wen Tingting: "Is there bound to be a martial arts conference where some strange things happen?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

no!What a strange rumor this is!

Wen Tingting asked again: "The martial arts conference, is it heading south out of the city?"

Jiang Jianyu said, "The Martial Arts Conference is in Baicang City, so it's natural to go south."

"That's just right! Pidun, go ask Master Pei to come out!" Wen Tingting patted Butun's head, and when Pidun ran into the house, she raised her head and said to several people, "Master Pei is going back to visit relatives, he Dad seems to live in Baicang City, you guys can drop by, can you give Master Pei a ride?"

What about going home to visit relatives, Zhang Xiaoyuan knew that Pei Junze's father was the martial arts leader Pei Wuluan, he might have slipped back to participate in the martial arts conference.

Seeing that neither Zhang Xiaoyuan nor Lu Zhaoming nodded, Wen Tingting coughed and said: "Master Pei doesn't know martial arts, you can still struggle when you encounter a black shop, but he will suffer when he encounters a black shop!"

Who can't fight anymore!You are the only ones who believe that Mr. Pei can't fight, okay?

But Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't dare to say these words, he could only look at Lu Zhaoming, after all, Lu Zhaoming was the one who could make the decision among them.

Lu Zhaoming nodded slightly: "By the way."

After all, Pei Wuluan is Wang Henian's good friend for many years, even if he goes with Pei Junze all the way, there is nothing wrong with it.

Pidun had already pulled Pei Junze out of the house by biting the hem of his clothes. Qi Chaoyun had hired a car for him, but now that they were traveling together, they had two carriages that exceeded the master's financial resources. The space was much wider, and even There is also a special driver hired by Qi Chaoyun, Zhang Xiaoyuan only feels that he feels the joy of being rich again after a long absence.

It's great to be rich, when he goes to the martial arts conference, he must keep an eye on everyone's heads, remember a few more useful news, and earn a few taels of silver from others!

The more Zhang Xiaoyuan thought about it, the more excited he became. He was sitting in the carriage, but his heart had already flown hundreds of miles away.

He forgot that Pei Junze was in a carriage with him at the moment, looking at him with a half-smile.

"What is little brother Zhang thinking?" Pei Jun asked, "He seems very happy."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied seriously: "I'm thinking about what to eat in Baicang City."

Pei Jun smiled.

The curtain of the car was half-opened. After Zhang Xiaoyuan said this, he heard Lu Zhaoming, who was driving the car outside, startled slightly. Then Zhang Xiaoyuan felt a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said: "After all, this is my first time going to Bai Cangcheng."

"Sure enough, he's still young." Pei Jun said with a smile, "There are indeed a lot of delicious food there, and I'll take you to have a look."

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help nodding.

Lu Zhaoming suddenly said, "Be careful with your teeth."

Pei Jun was puzzled: "Tooth?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan subconsciously covered his mouth, and then muttered in a low voice: "Brother, I'm not a child anymore!"

"You guys have such a good relationship." Pei Jun shook his head and smiled, "I'm really envious."

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt strange, and subconsciously looked at the top of Pei Junze's head.

If he remembers correctly, the leader of the martial arts alliance, Pei Wuluan, roamed the rivers and lakes when he was young, and he accepted his first apprentice when he was the weakest champion. He was number one in the world at that time. From one end to the other, later on, there are indeed peaches and plums in the world. If Pei Jun is really Pei Wuluan's son, he grew up beside Pei Wuluan, and he is an innumerable senior brother.

Why would he envy other people's mentorship?

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help thinking of Pei Junze's mysterious identity.

After so long, Zhang Xiaoyuan still can't figure it out.

Whose son is Pei Junze? !

He stared at Pei Junze for a moment, and only then did words slowly appear on Pei Junze's head.

"I grew up in the Demon Cult when I was young, and returned to the Martial Arts League after my hair was cut."

"Pei Wuluan called him the son of him and a confidante, because Pei Wuluan was young and romantic, and confidante were all over the world, so no one doubted him."

Pei Jun smiled and asked jokingly: "Zhang Shaoxia, is there something on Pei's face? Why are you staring at Pei's face?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "I..."

He was about to make up an excuse, but he suddenly saw a string of words pop out of Pei Junze's head.

To be precise, a list popped up.

"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the list of his biological mothers is as follows: Jiang Yitong, a talented girl in Sichuan, Wen Chuge, an elder of the Demon Sect, Ji Huaidie, the former number one beauty in the Jianghu, Li Ersi, a singer from the Western Regions, Rong Xueer, the owner of the Swallow Tower, Gu Feishuang, the heroine of the Zixia Tower ... ([-] characters below)"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was dumbfounded.

He thought!He used to think!

The leader of the martial arts alliance has a great reputation, and everyone in the world admires and admires him very much. After all, he should be a serious person, but...why does he have more "confidantes" than Hualiuque! ! !

Pei Jun called him: "Young Xia Zhang?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan managed to come back to his senses, he bit the bullet and forced an explanation, racked his brains and said dryly: "I...I think! Brother Pei's face is like a crown of jade, and the jade tree is facing the wind. It is really a rare fairy! "

Pei Jun couldn't help being startled, even Lu Zhaoming looked sideways slightly, and gave him a flat look.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan himself knows that it is really shameless for him to forcibly praise someone when he is nervous, but he can't help it. He is really curious about Pei Junze's life experience, and he can't wait to know who Pei Junze's parents are .

Pei Jun laughed for a while, and said: "You boasted so bluntly, it seems that you really don't want to tell why you just looked at me in a daze."

Zhang Xiaoyuan decided to hit the ball straight: "I was just thinking, if Big Brother Pei is a good-looking talent, then Leader Pei must also be handsome."

Pei Jun was never involved in the conversation at all, he just said: "After a few days, you will see it, and you will naturally understand."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was about to continue the cliché, when suddenly he saw a long line of words floating in the bushes beside the official road.

The speed of the carriage was so fast that he only had time to take a quick glance.

"Xing Yan, the right protector of the Demon Cult, Mo Wentian, the leader of the Demon Cult, sent him to secretly protect the young master Pei Junze—"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

The line of writing drifted backwards, Zhang Xiaoyuan stopped for a moment, was about to speak, but saw the line of writing chasing after him tremblingly, after a while, overtook the carriage, and stopped for a rest, waiting for them Catch up again.

Could it be that Xing Yan was chasing the carriage in the woods by the roadside with light work? !

The task of your Demon Cult is too hard!

No wonder people in the world say that Mo Wentian, the leader of the Demon Cult, is ruthless. Is this how his subordinates order him?unacceptable!Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that he couldn't stand it anymore!

Pei Jun was even more puzzled. He couldn't help but turned his head and looked at the direction Zhang Xiaoyuan had been staring at, but the outside was just a wild forest. If the trees were removed, there would be trees. He didn't find anything. He couldn't stop asking: "Zhang Shaoxia, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan really didn't know how to explain it.

"I just...just take a look." Zhang Xiaoyuan hesitated and said, "I think the scenery outside is pretty good."

The line of writing was thrown away by the carriage again.

Zhang Xiaoyuan turned his head and looked to the other side of the carriage.

"The scenery here is also very good."

he said dryly.

89.

Baicang City is hundreds of miles away from Fengji County, even if they go fast, it will take a few days to arrive. They are traveling in a horse-drawn carriage, and the time required will only be longer. They did not encounter an inn during the first day and night , I had to sleep in the wild for the time being.

After all, this place is in the wilderness, maybe there will be bandits, bandits and wild beasts, and people need to stay vigil at night, Zhang Xiaoyuan thought, the senior brother and the second senior brother had been driving for a day, and they were more tired than them, and Hua Liuque was lame It is better for him to do the night watch for the sick.

He took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in the middle of the night, and Pei Jun said that he had also been in the carriage for a day, so he would be fine in the second half of the night.Jiang Jianyu found a dry place, found some fallen leaves to make it softer, lay down on the tree stump and fell asleep, but Lu Zhaoming looked around, maybe he was terrified of Jiang Jianyu's snoring, I deliberately walked a little farther, found a high place, jumped up the treetops and disappeared.

Hua Liuque couldn't fall asleep for a while, he sat by the fire in a daze, Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly remembered——Hua Liuque should also be an old Jianghu, and he would absolutely love the beauties in the Jianghu. He knows better than Zhang Xiaoyuan, he knows the story of Pei Wuluan and his confidante if he can't keep it all!

Zhang Xiaoyuan took the initiative to lean over and called him: "Four...fourth junior brother!"

As soon as these three words were uttered, Zhang Xiaoyuan felt a little awkward.

He still couldn't accept that he suddenly had a junior, not to mention that Hua Liuque was obviously older than him. Being a junior... Zhang Xiaoyuan still finds it very strange.

Hua Liuque turned her head, hesitated for a long while, but didn't call out the words "Third Senior Brother".

The two of them looked at each other in silence for a moment, and Zhang Xiaoyuan spoke first: "Call me by my name."

Hualiuque also said: "You can call me by my name."

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed lightly and asked, "Do you know Ji Huaidie?"

He decided to start with the most famous No. [-] beauty first. He didn't believe Hua Liuque, a womanizer like Hua Liuque, had never heard of No. [-] beauty.

Hualiuque nodded slightly.

"The beauties in the Jianghu 20 years ago, it's a pity that I was born 20 years late!" Hua Liuque sighed with emotion, "Back then, there were beauties in the Jianghu, such as clouds, fat, swallows and thin, everything, but now there are many beauties in the Jianghu, but It’s still missing that energy.”

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed lightly and asked, "Do you know her?"

Hua Liuque paused: "I said I was born 20 years late, how could I know her?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan thought about Mei Ling'an's age and his face, and couldn't help saying: "Even if 20 years have passed, she is at most... 40 years old?"

"Beauty is like a flower that fades easily. Ji Huaidie is famous for her beauty. When her beauty dies, she will naturally fade out from the world." Hua Liuque frowned and looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan, slightly puzzled, "Why do you ask this?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed lightly.

"I first entered the Jianghu, so I am naturally very curious about the anecdotes of the Jianghu." Zhang Xiaoyuan explained smoothly, "I heard that Ji Huaidie was the number one beauty in the Jianghu back then, but now Jianghu does not have this title, so I inevitably want to know something about her. story."

Hualiuque frowned and interrupted him: "Ji Huaidie is the most beautiful woman in Jianghu, if you want to be considered a beautiful woman—"

He deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that people would hear the two of them talking, and said cautiously: "If you want to be considered a beauty, the number one beauty in the Jianghu back then should be Mo Wentian, the young master of the Demon Sect at that time."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

The topic came back too suddenly, Zhang Xiaoyuan hadn't thought of how to change the subject to ask Hua Liuque about Mo Wentian and Pei Wuchao, but Hua Liuque brought it up by herself.

Wait, what?

Who is the first beauty? !

"It's just that most of the people who dared to say that openly back then had their tongues pulled out by him." Hua Liuque began to sigh again, "Although I'm not very masculine, if I could have been born 20 years earlier, I would have seen Mo Wentian's face , that's worth it!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "He is in the Demon Cult..."

Hualiuque: "Do I dare to go there?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan shut up.

Hualiuque opened the clip, sighed, and continued.

"Back then, Mo Wentian was still traveling around. Although he was a bit fierce and ruthless, as long as he was lucky, he could still be seen in the rivers and lakes." Hua Liuque said, "I don't know since when, he has been a demon The sect is not out, the hero is late, and I don't know if he has aged after all these years."

When he mentioned beauty, he couldn't stop chattering, murmuring, anyway, Zhang Xiaoyuan still didn't understand the relationship between Pei Wuluan and Mo Wentian, all he knew was that Mo Wen was naturally good-looking, while Pei Jun had sword eyebrows Xingmu should not look like him at all.

So here comes the question, could it be that the words he saw above other people's heads finally made a mistake?Pei Jun is actually Pei Wuluan's son?

His mind was confused, and he didn't know where to start asking. Suddenly, there was a scream from the same place, as if something heavy had fallen. Zhang Xiaoyuan turned around in horror, and saw a black shadow flashing, and Lu Zhaoming jumped from the tree. Jumped down, crouched down, and picked up his sword.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Why did the senior brother throw the sword again!

90.

Zhang Xiaoyuan originally thought that by tying jade on the fringe of the elder brother's sword, it would stop Lu Zhaoming's bad habit of throwing the sword.

It seems that he still underestimated Lu Zhaoming.

Lu Zhaoming threw the sword without hesitation, Zhang Xiaoyuan ran over, but fortunately the jade was not broken, and the black shadow had disappeared, Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask Lu Zhaoming: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Lu Zhaoming frowned slightly: "It's the woman I met on the mountain that day."

Zhang Xiaoyuan thought about it for a while, and felt that the person Lu Zhaoming was talking about was probably Xing Yan.

He lowered his head and looked at the ground.

There seemed to be some blood seeping into the mud on the ground, and the senior brother was never lenient when throwing the sword. He felt that Xing Yan was probably injured internally by the senior senior brother again. The blood on the ground might be the blood that Xing Yan spit out.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was silent.

It's too awful.

He is a protector of the Demon Cult, sent by the leader to protect the young master, chasing the carriage and being beaten, he has already vomited blood from internal injuries twice, but he still has to stick to his seat.

This is too bad!

……

They made too much noise and woke up Pei Junze and Jiang Jianyu. Everyone gathered around and looked at the blood on the ground, causing countless speculations.

Jiang Jianyu was the first to speak: "Could it be the remnants of the black shop robbers? Have you come to seek revenge?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "No way..."

Lu Zhaoming shook his head: "Martial arts are good, probably not."

Hua Liuque frowned: "Could it be a bandit who robbed the way?!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Dog man, you can't recognize him if you cover your face, that's obviously your Yanniang.

Lu Zhaoming shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be hostile, and it shouldn't be a gangster."

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help being startled: "Eldest senior brother...she is not hostile, why did you beat her?"

Lu Zhaoming: "It's easy."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

"She has been with us for a day." Lu Zhaoming said, "Just now she wanted to sneak to the side of the carriage, but suddenly jumped out, and it was easy for a while."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Pei Jun coughed, and a strange look appeared on his face for a moment.

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that Pei Jun might have guessed who came.

Although Xing Yan was protecting him in secret, Mr. Pei should know Xing Yan's face. Xing Yan must have gone to the side of the carriage to find him. As for what Xing Yan wants to do... that's unknown.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was about to speak when he suddenly saw Xing Yan's identity introduction floating in the bushes.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was stunned.

Why is she back again!

Didn't the elder brother beat her seriously?He vomited blood just now, shouldn't he stay away and heal his injuries before trying to protect the young master?What's more, Pei Jun is with them, so it's very safe, not to mention Pei Jun, he is very skilled in martial arts, with a senior brother around, it's so easy to have an accident!

The next moment, Zhang Xiaoyuan saw Lu Zhaoming's gaze drifting towards the bush.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was startled, and hastily grabbed Lu Zhaoming's hand.

"Big brother!" Zhang Xiaoyuan persuaded, "No matter who is coming, it's better for us to leave this place first!"

Lu Zhaoming frowned slightly, with doubts on his face, looking at him puzzled.

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't know how to hint, with so many people watching, he had no choice but to stretch out his little finger and gently hook Lu Zhaoming's palm.

Lu Zhaoming finally nodded: "Let's go first."

Zhang Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at the bushes, the line of words was trembling, and finally stabilized a little, but still stubbornly stayed in place.

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't want to talk anymore.

The leader of the Demon Cult is simply not human!

I hope that the followers of the Demon Sect can see clearly the face of the devil, and turn to the Wulin League as soon as possible!
