Chapter 46 Going to Beijing!
Only after the Beggars' Gang moved to a ruined temple outside the city was Jie Feng released by Zhang Jinao.
"Boss, how are you?" The martial arts master Dong Buyu was right here, an old man who didn't care about his image.
Xie Feng waved his hand and asked, "How are the injuries of Elders Xu Shaosheng and Zhou Yingfang?"
A Beggar Gang disciple came over and said solemnly, "Elder Xu was injured in the abdomen, and the bleeding has stopped after using the golden wound medicine. Elder Zhou was seriously injured and has not woken up yet."
"call"
Jie Feng sighed and said with some self-blame, "I was careless this time and let Elder Zhou deal with He Xun. Ahem."
"Gang leader!"
When everyone saw Jie Feng's condition, they all showed a look of panic.
The leader can't fall down at this time!
Otherwise, what could they use to negotiate with the increasingly powerful Cao Gang?
"Zai Fuwang is not weaker than me, but the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist is no match for the Dog Beating Stick Technique. I have injured my lungs and need some time to recover."
Jie Feng shook his head, looked at everyone present with a serious face, and greeted them: "You are all good brothers of the Beggars' Sect. The news of my injury must not be spread!"
"Please rest assured, boss!" Dong Buyu stood up and said seriously, "I'm here, and no one will spread a word."
"That's good, Elder Dong. I'm at ease." Jie Feng nodded and continued, "We need to find the brothers who helped us escape today and thank them. If it weren't for them, we would have to pay a price to evacuate safely."
"We, the Beggars' Sect, will avenge our enemies and repay our kindness. We cannot let the kind people who have helped us, Keke, feel disappointed."
Qing and Bai looked at each other, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Don't worry, Boss. We two brothers will do this."
"Very good." Jie Feng looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.
He turned his head to look at Zhang Jinao and continued, "While I am recovering from my injury, the deputy gang leader will be in charge of all matters within the gang. If you are undecided, you can ask Elder Dong. Elder Dong has been in the martial arts world for thirty years and has seen all kinds of situations."
"Yes!" Zhang Jinao lowered his head and responded.
Then, under Dong Buyu's arrangement, Jie Feng began to retreat and recuperate.
The other side claimed that the leader was traveling around the world to do good deeds. Anyway, except for Huang Rong and Yelu Qi who guarded Xiangyang most of the time, the other leaders of the Beggars' Sect were wandering around the world.
Therefore, if the Beggars' Sect released him, few people in the martial arts world would realize that he was injured and recuperating.
On the other side, under the protection of Tianjin Inspector Zhang Decheng, Ou Zanghua and his party returned to Lai Fu Inn. After expressing their gratitude again, the two sides parted ways amicably.
The next morning, Ou Zanghua washed and combed his hair with the help of Qu Feiyan, and then taught Xiang Danian some sword skills. When he went out after breakfast, he found that Zhang Decheng was waiting for him in the hall with four auxiliary soldiers, and there were more than ten people standing outside the inn.
"Mr. Ou, my brothers and I are on vacation, so I can go back to Beijing with you." Zhang Decheng bowed to Ou Zanghua and smiled.
"That's great!" Ou Zanghua was delighted and said happily, "This way, our safety will be guaranteed."
"Hahaha, please!" Zhang Decheng laughed and raised one hand, making a 'please' gesture.
Ou Zanghua was naturally not polite. When he went out to get on the carriage, he saw two beggars on the street, so he said to Xiang Danian beside him: "Give them some silver. It's pitiful that they are still outside in the winter."
"Yes!" Xiang Da Nian responded, walked over and threw a tael of silver into their bowls.
The beggar looked up at Xiang Danian and asked in a hoarse voice: "May I ask your name? The Beggars' Sect will never forget your kindness yesterday." "The one who helped you yesterday was my senior brother, Ou Zanghua from the Hengshan Sect." Xiang Danian smiled and said honestly: "Senior brother said that we are all righteous people in the martial arts world and should help each other."
"So you are the top disciple of Hengshan Sect. We have made note of you." The two beggars looked at each other, bowed, and quickly disappeared into the street corner.
With Zhang Decheng's protection, Ou Zanghua and others' journey from Tianjin to BJ was extremely smooth.
It was the first time for Qu Yang to go out with the protection of an officer. The experience was completely different. The old man was quite excited and chatted with Zhang Decheng from time to time.
In a sense, a soldier like Zhang Decheng is very much in line with the appetite of a gangster like Qu Yang. After chatting for a while, the two of them became old friends who seemed to have known each other for many years.
After hearing that Ou Zanghua was the top scholar in Huguang, Zhang Decheng's eyes when looking at Ou Zanghua suddenly changed, and he became more concerned about his affairs.
The group set out at 3:15 am in the morning and saw the tall city walls of Beijing at 1:15 pm in the afternoon.
Looking at the four-meter-high city wall and the soldiers standing at the city gate with spears in their hands, Xiang Danian and Qu Feiyan couldn't help swallowing.
Along the way, whether in Hangzhou and Yangzhou in the south or in Dezhou and Cangzhou in the north, they had never seen such high and thick city walls.
When they were about to enter the city, Zhang Decheng bowed to Ou Zanghua and said, "Mr. Ou, we will say goodbye now. I will come to congratulate you again when you pass the imperial examination!"
"Thank you! I wish General Zhang smooth sailing and a bright future." Ou Zanghua returned the greeting with a gentle blessing.
"Hehe, Mr. Ou, please come into the city quickly!" Zhang Decheng laughed foolishly and stood there watching Ou Zanghua and others leave.
When Ou Zanghua and the other three arrived at the city gate and looked back, they saw Zhang Decheng and his group slowly dispersing.
"Ugh"
Ou Zanghua sighed, found his pass, and asked Qu Yang to give it to the soldiers guarding the city.
The soldier took a look and waved them in.
In recent times, nearly a thousand candidates have come to the capital from all over the country. They have seen many such travel permits for participating in the imperial examinations and can tell the real ones from the fake at a glance.
After entering the city, the four of them were a little confused.
They wanted to go to Cheng's house on Chongwenmenli Street, but among the four people, only Ou Zanghua and Qu Yang had been to the capital.
Qu Yang came to Beijing to appreciate music more than ten years ago, brought by a friend.
Ou Zanghua was organized by the school to come to the capital to watch the flag-raising ceremony five hundred years later.
Perhaps the expressions of the four people were too straightforward. A man wearing a wide-brimmed deep net scarf and a blue cloth shirt and trousers came over with a smile, nodded and asked, "Have you encountered any troubles, gentlemen? I am Zhang San, and I have lived in Beijing for 20 years. I don't have any other skills, but I am pretty good at finding roads, places, recruiting people, and finding jobs."
"Very good!" Ou Zanghua smiled, "We are going to Cheng's house on Chongwenmenli Street. Do you know the way?"
Zhang San grinned and said, "Master, you have asked the right person. My relative lives on Chongwenmenli Street."
"Okay, lead the way! You won't lose any reward."
"Hey! The outsider is still straightforward! Please follow me."
Thanks to the boss of Jump Out of the Three Realms and Not in the Five Elements for the reward and support!
