step on mountains and rivers

The Beggars' Gang is located on the bamboo mountain to the east of Jinghu Lake. There are many bamboo forests on the bamboo mountain. Most of the buildings of the Beggars' Gang are made of bamboo here, which is simple and grand.

They walked into Zhushan, walked through a bamboo forest path, and came to the gate of the Beggar Clan.

The mountain gate is very high, made of two rows of bamboos three wide and five feet high.Behind the mountain gate is a section of stone steps. At the end of the stone steps is a wide square. There are some bamboo houses on both sides of the square. Behind the square is a long stone step. Looking up along the stone steps, there is a large bamboo hall. Nestled on top of a hill.There are many green bamboos planted on both sides of the main hall, and the breeze blows, making the bamboo forest rustle.

After Jiang Ling led the crowd into the gate, he asked Lu Qing to take Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu to rest first, while he himself and his juniors and juniors went to the leader to report the situation.

Jiang Ling took Zhao Shanshan and Zhang Xiaoshan to the main hall, where Chen Jianghe, the old leader of the Beggar Clan, was sitting in the main hall drinking with the leader Jiang Yu.

Seeing several people coming, he said:

"You guys are back, come and sit down."

As he spoke, he waved to the three of Jiang Ling.

Seeing Chen Jianghe waving, Jiang Ling walked towards him with a smile, looked at the green bamboo leaves on his table and said, "The wine from the old leader is so fragrant."

"It's still Xiaoling who knows how to drink, come and have a drink with grandpa." Chen Jianghe listened to Jiangling's praise, looked at him with a smile and said.

"Okay." Jiang Ling was about to sit down when he said that, but Jiang Yu who was beside him gave him a hard look and said:

"It's not big or small. In front of the elders, you are so presumptuous. Where have you learned the etiquette I taught you? I'm really ashamed of your father."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, Jiang Ling looked at him and smiled:

"My Uncle Dayu, you have said this hundreds of times, don't you find it annoying? Besides, the old gang leader asked me to drink it. How can I not obey the old gang leader's order?"

Jiang Ling sat down next to Chen Jianghe, picked up the bamboo leaf green on the table, and took a sip.

Jiang Yu looked at Chen Jianghe, only to see him looking at Jiangling with a smile on his eyes.

Jiang Yu looked at the two of them, shook his head helplessly and said:

"Old gang leader, you are too used to him."

"Jiang Yu, you are too serious to make the children afraid of you." Chen Jianghe laughed.

Then he said to Zhao Shanshan and Zhang Xiaoshan:

"Come here, you two."

After hearing Chen Jianghe's words, the two looked at Jiang Yu hesitantly, but they heard Jiang Yu say to them slowly:

"Come and sit down."

After listening to Jiang Yu's opening, the two walked slowly and sat down nearby.

Seeing the two of them like this, Chen Jianghe said to Jiang Yu:

"Hey, look at you, it's so serious that it scares the children."

Jiang Yu glanced at Chen Jianghe and said, "Old leader, let's get down to business."

Seeing Jiang Yu's serious face, Chen Jianghe straightened his body and said:

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Jiang Yu looked at Zhao Shanshan and Zhang Xiaoshan and asked:

"Tell me about your affairs, how did the investigation go?"

Seeing Jiang Yu's serious expression, Zhao Shanshan was slightly frightened and dared not speak.

After Zhang Xiaoshan saw it, he opened his mouth and replied:

"Back to the leader, my junior sister and I went to Jinghu to investigate information, and saw people from Nangong Villa sealing the lake, and the spies from Shenlongzhai sneaking around to check on the actions of Nangong Villa.

After the people of Nangong Villa sealed Jinghu Lake, they sent a large number of people to station on the west side of Jinghu Lake. Their guards were too strict, and we couldn't get in. We only heard that they seemed to be digging something.

The people in Shenlongzhai also seem to be very interested in what they dug.They send people to check the situation every day.

The people in Nangong Villa were digging all day long, and we came back first when we saw that we couldn't find anything. "

After hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, Jiang Yu nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, you all should step back and have a good rest. I will send another person to investigate the matter of Jinghu Lake."

"Yes, leader." After Zhang Xiaoshan replied, he left with Zhao Shanshan.

Seeing the two leaving, Jiang Yu asked Chen Jianghe beside him:

"Old gang leader, what do you think about the Jinghu incident?"

Chen Jianghe listened to Jiang Yu's question, took a sip of Zhuyeqing and said:

"It's digging. Apart from treasures, it's ancient tombs, or else it's secret mines. I've been in the beggar gang for so many years, and I've never heard of ancient tombs beside Mirror Lake, let alone treasures, so I guess it should be secret mine."

Jiang Yu listened to Chen Jianghe's words, pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement and said:

"The old gang leader is right, but what are they digging dense mines for?"

Chen Jianghe glanced at Jiang Yu, then said with a mysterious smile:

"I don't know about that, but, Xiaoling didn't mean that the magic weapon book was taken away by the Four Sacred Palaces. Since the people in Shenlongzhai also care about the Nangong family's affairs, so... ..."

"Old leader, are you saying that the Jinghu incident may have something to do with the Shenbingpu?" Jiang Ling asked if he realized something.

"Xiaoling, how would I know that grandpa is just an old man who likes to drink. Hahahaha." Chen Jianghe laughed.

"Huh?" Jiang Ling looked at Chen Jianghe with a puzzled face, then looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Uncle Dayu?"

Seeing his doubts, Jiang Yu opened his mouth and said:

"This matter is complicated, and I need to discuss it with the elders. Ah Ling, go to Mirror Lake to investigate carefully tomorrow."

"Okay." Jiang Ling replied.

"Okay, you go back first, I will discuss with the elders." Jiang Yu walked out the door after saying that.

Seeing Jiang Yu leaving, Jiang Ling said to Chen Jianghe:

"Old leader, I'm going back first. I have to tell my friend about this, so I won't grow old with you."

"Okay, let's go, old man, I'm happy drinking alone, hey!" Chen Jianghe said with a deep sigh.

Jiang Ling looked at Chen Jianghe, and couldn't bear to say:

"Old gang leader, when you come back from Mirror Lake, I will accompany you to have a good drink."

"Okay, it's Xiaoling who knows how to accompany me, unlike those guys who only know how to do things, and don't care whether I, an old man, eats well, sleeps well, and whether I am happy, hey." Chen Jianghe sighed and asked again. Continuing on, Jiang Ling hastily interrupted:

"Old gang leader, that's the deal, then I'll go back first and leave."

With that, he went out the door.

Outside the door, Jiang Ling glanced at the old gang leader inside, and suddenly felt that he was very lonely, so he thought, is he also lonely when he is old?He fantasized about what it would be like when he was old, but what appeared in his mind was full of fragments of getting along with Lu Qing.

He was a little surprised why he thought of Lu Qing, and thought that maybe the two of them had been together for too long, so he appeared for a while.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ling turned and walked towards the steps.

As soon as he walked down the steps, he saw Lu Qing standing at the end of the steps.Lu Qing seemed to be looking at the moon, but also seemed to be waiting for him.Seeing him walking down the steps, he slowly walked towards him.

Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing approaching under the moon, and suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. It was the kind of joy he could not describe. of joy.

However, it seems to be different, the feeling Lu Qing gave him is more special, he can't explain it clearly, but it seems that Lu Qing should be waiting for him here, and he really wants Lu Qing to be here waiting for him, and Lu Qing is indeed there Wait for him here.This is a very strange feeling, not happy, but more joyful than happy.

Seeing Jiang Ling walking down the steps, Lu Qing saw that he was in a daze, so he asked:

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

After hearing Lu Qing's words, Jiang Ling came back to his senses and said:

"Huh? Oh, it's okay."

Lu Qing looked at Jiang Ling who was speaking incoherently, and asked suspiciously:

"what happened to you?"

Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing, recalled the picture in his mind just now, and quickly covered it up with a smile:

"I'm fine, let's go, go back, I have something to discuss with you."

Lu Qing looked at him suspiciously, then nodded.

After the two finished speaking, they walked towards the house.

Inside the house, Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu were discussing the matter of the Four Sacred Palaces. Seeing them approaching, Tang Qingfeng asked Jiang Ling:

"Old Jiang, how are you?"

Jiang Ling saw Tang Qingfeng asking, and after entering the room with Lu Qing and sitting down, Jiang Ling told them what happened in the main hall.

After listening to Jiang Ling's words, Tang Qingfeng asked him:

"You mean, Shenlongzhai is the power of the Four Sacred Palaces. They are spying on what the Nangong family is doing, which is what the old gang leader said about digging secret mines, and secret mines should be related to the Shenbingpu, right?"

"Yes." Jiang Ling nodded.

After Jiang Ling finished speaking, Tang Qingfeng fell into deep thought.

Li Zhenwu looked at a few people and asked:

"Brother Jiang, do you know the situation in Shenlongzhai? And the Nangong family, why did they mine in Jinghu?"

Hearing Li Zhenwu's question, Jiang Ling shook his head and said:

"I don't know very well about Shenlong Village. They are a water village on the north side of Jinghu Lake. They don't usually associate with the beggar gang, and they haven't done anything harmful to nature, so we didn't bother with them.

As for the Nangong family, they are mining masters in Jingzhou, and they live in Nangong Villa, south of Mirror Lake.The head of the family is called Nangong Yan. He has two sons and one daughter. The sons are Nangong Yu and Nangong Xin, and the daughter is Nangong Qingqing.They each help the Nangong family manage different businesses.Our beggar gang and Nangong's family are not very familiar, but occasionally send people to their mines to help, so there is some friendship.

As for why they mine, I don't know. "

After Jiang Ling finished speaking, Tang Qingfeng said slowly:

"It seems that if you want to know what's going on, you still need to go to Jinghu Lake to find out the truth."

"Well, since this matter is related to the Four Sacred Palaces, could it be the matter mentioned in your previous letter?" Lu Qing asked.

"It's possible." Tang Qingfeng said to everyone: "Tomorrow, we will go to Jinghu to investigate together."

"Okay." Everyone nodded.

After everyone finished speaking, Tang Qingfeng looked at Jiang Ling and asked:

"Lao Jiang, where do Zhenwu and I live?"

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment after hearing Tang Qingfeng's words. He looked at the two of them, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't arranged for someone to clean up their room.

Seeing Jiang Ling stunned, Tang Qingfeng immediately guessed what was going on, so he asked:

"Lao Jiang, don't say you're not prepared."

Seeing that Tang Qingfeng saw through it, Jiang Ling smiled to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Old Tang, am I that kind of person?"

Then he leaned against Lu Qing's ear and whispered to him:

"Lu Qing, I forgot to ask someone to prepare the house. You give him the room to stay for one night first, sleep with me tonight, and tomorrow I will ask someone to clean up the room for him."

Jiangling was a little closer, and the warm wind blew on Lu Qing's ears, making it itchy slightly.Listening to his words, Lu Qing was slightly taken aback, and nodded with a little red behind his ears.

Seeing that Lu Qing responded, Jiang Ling said to Tang Qingfeng:

"The time is short, only one room has been cleaned up. You live here first, and change tomorrow."

Tang Qingfeng looked at Lu Qing, then at Jiang Ling, and said:

"it is good."

Seeing that Tang Qingfeng responded, Jiang Ling felt that he had been fooled, so he said:

"Then Lu Qing and I will leave first, and you guys have a good rest."

After speaking, he took Lu Qing out of the door.

Tang Qingfeng smiled slightly as he looked at the backs of the two leaving.Seeing Tang Qingfeng smiling, Li Zhenwu asked with some doubts:

"Brother Tang?"

Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu who was puzzled, then glanced at the table full of copper pieces, and smiled softly:

"It's okay, Zhenwu, let's rest earlier."

"Well, good." Li Zhenwu nodded back.
