When he found out that Lu Yang actually attacked Wang Que because of his obscene smile, Du Ruo said he didn't know what to say.

In fact, speaking of it, Wang Que's appearance is definitely the best choice. It's just that he is too slovenly on weekdays and disappears from the public. There is always a bit of beggar's desolation accompanying him. However, with his facial features, even though he is

It doesn't look like an upright person, but it can still give people a good impression.

As for being almost beaten by Lu Yang because of a smile, Du Ruo could only comfort him: "Maybe, your smile really deserves a beating!"

Wang Que's expression could be described as heartbroken, and he lay on the ground beating the floor.

Du Ruo was also sure that what he said was a bit too much, and he said guiltily: "No, no, no, no, brother Wang, I was just joking..."

Wang Que then slowly stood up from the ground and said, "I'm sorry for your joke."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Brother Wang. I know that no matter what others say, Brother Wang knows it in his heart. How can you deserve a beating if you laugh? You deserve a beating even if you don't laugh!"

Wang Que: "..."

"Go away, you have successfully lost me, hum!"

Wang Que proudly raised his head with his hands behind his hands, and gently touched his hair.

At this time, Lu Yang walked up to Wang Que with an apologetic face, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wang, I just misunderstood you. I have offended you so much. Please bear with me. Otherwise, I'll treat you to a drink as an apology."

"Humph!" Wang Que held his head high, still arrogant.

Lu Yang looked at Du Ruo with some embarrassment. He took action first and still did it unreasonably. Although he apologized, others did not have to accept the apology. He was unreasonable.

Du Ruo smiled at Lu Yang, gently pulled Wang Que who was looking up at the ceiling, brought it close to his ear, and whispered: "My eldest brother will buy you a drink, and I'll buy you a drink too, how about that?"

"Heh." Wang Que turned around and said, "Am I that cheap? Am I only worth two drinks?"

"Oh, forget it," Du Ruo said with a smile: "Brother, let's go have a drink and make a big meal. I remember that the beef in Wu Ji Fang is really good..."

With that said, Du Ruo directly pulled Lu Yang and walked out of the inn. While Lu Yang was being pulled away by Du Ruo, he looked at Wang Que in surprise.

"Hey, Du Ruo, you're not interesting anymore!"

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Wang Que chased him out and said, "Why are you like this? Anyway... at least you can increase the price. If you increase the price a little, I will forgive you!"

Lu Yang was about to speak, but Du Ruo spoke first, saying: "I can't add more. Now the price has changed. I only have one drink left. If you agree, you can add a few kilograms of beef. If you insist, I'm afraid you will lose more."

…”

"Oh, you," Wang Que patted Du Ruo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "So you're going to be a stranger, right? Let's go for a walk, drink and drink, give me a pound of beef, and I'll follow you.

Brother Lu, isn’t it true that we don’t know each other without fighting, don’t you think so, Brother Lu?”

"Yes...right!" Lu Yang was a little confused.

…………

Walking on the long street, Zhuangyuan Street became deserted at night.

"Brother, why are you back so soon? Have you settled the matter with Gu's mother and daughter?" Du Ruo asked.

Lu Yang nodded and said: "Sounds like we were lucky. We thought that our trip to the capital would be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. But we didn't expect that as soon as we left Jinling, we bumped into Mr. Di Qing, the young minister of Dali Temple who was returning home to visit his relatives. We directly asked him about everything.

It’s all saved.”

Dali Temple, the imperial court was specifically responsible for the trial of prison cases, and the editors of various counties and counties belonged to the Dali Temple.

Du Ruo also exclaimed: "This is indeed extremely lucky. What is the result?"

"The result is also very good," Lu Yang said: "Master Di Qing is very concerned about this matter. The minister Chen Guangyi has been arrested and supervised. As for Song Jifan of Guangyang County, the imperial court has sent an imperial envoy to come down for a thorough investigation. Basically

It’s over.”

Du Ruo nodded and said: "This is also what they deserve. Qingping, Gu's mother and daughter..."

Lu Yang said: "Gu's mother and daughter followed the imperial envoy back to Guangyang Mansion, and Brother Meng followed them so that they could take care of Gu's mother and daughter. As for me, I actually don't know if you are still in Jinling, but I originally

I still have to go to Sancai County to try my luck. I didn’t expect you to be here. I haven’t congratulated you yet. You passed the exam!"

Du Ruo smiled and said: "It's just good luck, not worth mentioning."

Wang Que, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Brother Du, you are being too hypocritical. I have already passed the provincial examination four or five times..."

Du Ruo spread his hands and said, "Why didn't you pass the exam? Don't you have any idea?"

Wang Que: "..."

Lu Yang smiled and asked: "By the way, you haven't told me yet how you and Brother Wang met, and Brother Wang, there seems to be something wrong with your martial arts realm?"

"Yes," Wang Que said, "I had a fight with someone and my realm was knocked down. Now I can't hang out anymore. It just happened that Brother Du invited me to hang out with him!"

As the world's top master, when Wang Que mentioned this, he immediately understood the key, nodded, and said: "Then I wish brother Wang to find his way as soon as possible!"

"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's harder than climbing to the sky!" Wang Que sighed.

Both are practitioners, whether it is Du Ruo or Lu Yang, they can understand the hardships involved, especially for people like Wang Que. Being knocked down is equivalent to being cut off from the path of being a master. If there is not much opportunity, I am afraid that this

It's been like this all my life.

Du Ruo sighed and said: "Brother Wang, your martial arts level was so high before. Who did you fight with? Could it be a grandmaster?"

Wang Que sneered and said, "Don't tell me, it's really the master, the famous Fuyao Fairy Nangong Hubo."

Du Ruo murmured: "Are you tired of living?"

Wang Que shook his head and said: "Brother Du, you have never been a swordsman. You don't understand. But I was a swordsman. I understand. I know that I am not Nangong Hubo's opponent, and I cannot be her opponent. But, I

Can't help it."

"We are both swordsmen. The moment I met her, I was already destined to test the sword with her. It was a feeling that transcended life and death. I only knew that I had to do that. That was the meaning of my existence!

"

Du Ruo asked doubtfully: "Then why didn't she kill you?"

Wang Que shook his head and said: "I don't know, she just cut off my sword skills. As she said, my sword skills may really be wrong. What we are comparing is not our cultivation or realm, but our sword skills."

, but my sword is completely vulnerable to her sword."

"A swordsman only acts for pleasure. This is a swordsman, but I have a bond. Oh, wrong, wrong, maybe wrong!"

A swordsman only acts for pleasure,

If there is a bond, it is wrong.

Du Ruo felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what to say. Everyone had different ideas and different realms. Even Lu Yang couldn't give Wang Que an answer.

After being silent for a while, Lu Yang suddenly said: "Brother Wang, I can't help you answer your doubts, but there is someone who might be able to?"

"Who?" Wang Que raised his eyebrows.

"Chunjiang layman Zhang Ruoxu, this person is in the Chunjiang Taoist Temple in Sancai County. I went to Sancai County to find him this time, and I also asked him to solve my confusion about spiritual practice!"

…………

As night fell, a small remote town lit up its lights.

Zhang Zhishan and Chen Songyi of Yijianmen took Ling Xiaoxiao into the city late at night. Three oil-paper umbrellas moved slowly along the long bluestone street. The faint wisps of rain began to fall again, and the ground shone with some luster. After being washed by the rain,

The stone slabs showed reflections, and the footsteps left slight footprints as they passed.

The three brothers and sisters walked to an inn and paused for a while. Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and heard a "gurgling" sound in his stomach.

Zhang Zhishan hesitated for a moment, walked into the inn, and soon came out with a few more pastries in his hand. He handed them to Ling Xiaoxiao, and then continued walking forward without saying a word. There were not many pedestrians at night, and most of them were

In a hurry, in a hurry.

Ling Xiaoxiao took a big bite of the puff pastry, raised his head, and asked: "Third Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, how far is it to Chunjiang Dojo?"

Zhang Zhishan shook his head and said: "It's not far, it's not far!"

"Third Senior Brother, can this Zhang Ruoxu really protect us? Gusu Nangong... Now, the entire Suzhou Jianghu is looking for us. If we are discovered, I am afraid that your friend will be hurt." Ling Xiaoxiao ate the puff pastry.

Pancake said.

Zhang Zhishan glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao and was very pleased. Although he took Ling Xiaoxiao to hide in Suzhou during this period, it was not useless at all. At least, it made this junior sister a lot more sensible and knew how to consider others.

I understand that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people.

"Don't worry," Zhang Zhishan said: "Although Gusu Nangong is famous, it is only because of Fuyao Fairy Nangong's amber. The world respects Fuyao Fairy rather than Gusu Nangong."

"Don't look at it. During this period, it seems that all the three sects and nine sects in Suzhou are tracking us down. In fact, most of them are quacks who are trying to earn the bounty from the Nangong family. None of the real sects have come forward. Otherwise, we wouldn't be like this.

You can easily come to Sancai County."

Ling Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Zhang Zhishan said: "If Gusu Nangong does not have Fairy Fuyao, it is just a second- and third-rate family. How can it command the world in Suzhou? What's more, Suzhou has more than just Nangong Hubo, and selling Fairy Fuyao just to save face is enough.

Oh, are you really going to fight the Yijian Clan and me to death just for a word from the Nangong family?"

"Oh," Ling Xiaoxiao nodded as if he understood, and said, "But, senior brother, I have never heard of this Chunjiang Dojo. Do you really dare to offend the Nangong family? Is he also a grandmaster?"

Zhang Zhishan smiled slightly and said: "Zhang Ruoxu, the layman of Chunjiang, is a very magical person. His martial arts is not very high. Looking at the world, he is only second to third rate. Perhaps he is not as good as some inner disciples of our Yijian Sect."

"Ah?" Ling Xiaoxiao was shocked.

"However," Zhang Zhishan said: "In this Suzhou arena, there are many real masters and even leaders of factions and gangs who are related to him, and there are even many who are apprentices to him."

"Why is this? Didn't you say that Zhang Ruoxu's martial arts is not high?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully.
