Chapter 19 Often walking by the river, how can there be no wet shoes

Step on the pedal-

On the official road between Qiuye, horses galloped towards Jingzhou.

Xu Buling whipped his horse quickly. Before he could run far, there were sounds of horse hooves and whispers from behind: "Young Master Xu! Youth Master Xu..." He turned around and saw Zhong Jiu chasing him on a big red horse.

Xu Buling held a long spear in his hand, slowed down his horse's speed slightly, and spoke:

"Miss Zhong, let me explain in detail about the apprenticeship when I come back. I will go to Jingmen first."

Zhong Jiu ran to the front of him quickly and advised softly:

"Mr. Xu, don't be so anxious. Ning Yuhe is not a young man in the world. He is better than me in martial arts. He is at the foot of Wudang Mountain. I was driven out when I came to talk to him. Who dares to marry her? The rumors in the world are not believed..."

Xu Buling frowned slightly. It was a little wrong to think about it carefully. He just thought about Master Bai Tian, ​​but he forgot about this.

Ning Yuhe is a Taoist priest of Quanzhen. He can beat Zhang Xiang down with one pick and one pick. Jingmen is a hundred miles away from Wudang Mountain. Chen Daozi, the god of Wudang killing, is not a vegetarian. Even if the King of Chu wants to marry Ning Yuhe, he has to consider the feelings of the current saint. Who has such great ability and no brains to do this...

Thinking of this, Xu Bu slowed down his horse's speed, which was a little inexplicable:

"I just forgot about it, well... the rumors won't rise without a wind, so I'd better go over and take a look."

Zhong Jiu walked beside Xu Buling and shook his head and said, "Young Master, don't worry. Since you heard the wind, Wudang Mountain had heard it long ago. Ning Yuhe was protected by Wudang. If such a thing really happened, the group of old monsters on Wudang Mountain would have come to the door long ago. How could the young master have to travel long distances..."

Xu Buling did not stop: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of anything. Ning Yuhe is my master. After learning about her news, he has to go there no matter what. Go there early to avoid any mistakes..."

Zhong Jiu showed some anxiety between her eyebrows - her position as Baku was snatched by Ning Yuhe, and she had been tugging with Ning Yuhe for a long time, and they would have been a gangster. If she had seen Ning Yuhe and had shaken everything about that year, she would definitely not be able to snatch her disciple. But at this moment, there was no excuse to stop Xu Buling.

Two horses galloped on the pipeline. Xu Buling encountered a tea shop with crowded people on the road. After dismounting, he asked the shopkeeper of the well-informed tea shop. He learned that the rumor was that "the first Zhou Zhengjia of Jingmen forced to marry the world's number one beauty before, and the two sides had a conflict." The specific one was not clear. He carefully asked about the origin of Zhengjia next week, saying that he was a local snake in Gucheng County, Jingmen, and more than a dozen boats were rampant in the local area.

After understanding this situation, Xu Buling felt a little relieved. Zhong Jiu followed behind, hesitated for a moment, and said softly:

"It's just a rogue in a town, it must be a misinformation in the world. Mr. Xu doesn't have to be so anxious."

Xu Buling nodded: "Anyway, we're on the road, and Gucheng County is only about 100 miles away, and we'll be here in the afternoon."

Zhong Jiu was a little anxious, but it was difficult to show it. After thinking about it, he simply took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Xu Buling:

"This is the elixir I make on weekdays, which can relieve all poisons in the world. There are introductory rituals to become a disciple, I hope you don't dislike it."

Xu Buling blinked and wanted to raise his hand to take it, but then he thought about it and shook his head and said:

"After finding out about the master, I naturally have to ask her what she means. Miss Zhong, don't worry, you both couldn't help but meddle in Wudang's other people's business and drove you out. It has nothing to do with Master. Master has a good temperament and will definitely agree to this matter."

Zhong Jiu bit his lower lip, and saw that he could not cook the raw rice, so he had to chuckled and then said:

"Mr. Xu, I was young and got angry at the time. My behavior was indeed inappropriate, and there were many misunderstandings. Your master probably didn't like me very much. But now I'm already thinking about it and I'm sorry for what happened back then. If she blamed me, please say a few good words to me..."

"Don't worry, Miss Zhong, although you and I know each other for a short time, I still understand Miss Zhong's character. I will naturally resolve the misunderstanding from that time..."

"Oh... people are young and ignorant. If Ning Yuhe says something about me, you ask me to explain, don't believe it directly..."

After listening for a moment, Xu Buling felt something was wrong and turned his head:

"Miss Zhong, what misunderstanding did you have with your master back then?"

Zhong Jiu hooked his hair in his ears, made a dull look like "everything is gone", and shook his head:

"Young doll is nothing more than fighting and joking. Actually, it's nothing... I'm not the kind of bad-hearted woman, I really want to help the young master..."

Xu Buling nodded, always feeling that Zhong Jiu became a little weird, but he didn't know why, so he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, and rushed to Gucheng County...

--------

Gucheng County is located along the Danjiang River. It is the intersection of Yueyang, Jingmen, Xiangyang and other cities, and is regarded as a port for water and land transfer.

As winter approaches, horses gather in the carriage in Gucheng County, Lifu carried sacks and loaded and unloaded goods on the dock. Many tourists who heard the news were wandering outside the Yongfeng warehouse in the town, and some even climbed onto the wall and looked at the scene inside.

Yongfeng Warehouse is a cargo warehouse, where the goods transported by merchants are recirculated here and sent to all parts of the world by the fleet. The fleet and the owner behind Yongfeng Warehouse are both the Zhou family, a wealthy family in the town. Zhou Zhengjia was born as a thug and had social interactions between black and white. His old fists were even more famous for being ruthless in the Jingmen generation. He worked hard in the market for half his life and got his current family business. He was respected as the "No. 1 in Jingmen" by friends from all over the world.

Zhou Zhengjia naturally has Kung Fu, but next to him are the giants in the martial arts world such as the Cao family in Yueyang, the Lin family in Hutou Mountain, and Wudang Mountain. It is impossible to be the first in terms of being powerful. It can take both black and white. The main reason is that the government has sufficient filial piety.

Zhou Zhengjia was able to do business so big, so he was definitely not a brainless reckless man. He knew how to behave in daily life. If he didn't provoke people, he would bully small families and pluck hair. An An had been in Gucheng County for half his life, and never had any trouble. The wanderers in the world dared not provoke people who had something to do with the government.

But when you walk by the river often, you won’t be able to get your shoes wet.

Zhou Zhengjia did not provoke people he shouldn't provoke, but he still underestimated the sinisterness of the world.

In the afternoon, in the courtyard of Yongfeng Cang, the thugs of thirty were squatting on the ground with their heads in their arms. Zhou Zhengjia, dressed as the leader, looked at the little girl in front of him with a bald head and aggrieved face:

"Grandma, I'll just say it casually, why are you unreasonable? The goods in this warehouse cost hundreds of taels of silver a day..."

Bang-
Chapter completed!
