"…I have heard of Master Zhou's name on weekdays, but unfortunately I have always been honored by Bianliang and cannot be seen. When the Jurchens besieged the city, I felt even more uneasy. Now Master Zhou is coming from me to Ping County, and it is really worthy of his reputation. Especially the father and daughter join forces to assassinate Bai Ning, which really makes me very good at the Green Forest in the North. Today is a meager night banquet, I hope Master Zhou will not be disgusted."

"You are polite to the boss of the old Zhao gang."

At this time, the night was deep, and the stars were dotted in the night sky to pave the Milky Way. After dinner, the stone table was still full of dishes, and there was still room around the stone table. Zhou Tong held up a wine glass and chatted with an old man. A man named Lynx stood nearby and watched him and talk while eating.

The old man was thin and small, his robe looked a little loose, his beards and eyebrows were all white, and he looked a little older. When Zhou Tong first saw this person, he did not look down on him. On the one hand, he walked very steadily, and on the other hand, his arms were raised high and not as trembling as those with weak constitutions. The other person's identity was mentioned once when he invited Zhou Tong to the banquet. His surname was Zhao, his name was Dongzhi, and he was the leader of the Leiquan Gang in Chongping County. The Thunder Boxing with one hand was also famous in the north.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Dongzhi nodded with a smile: "I heard... Master Zhou and his daughter joined forces to stab her. Why don't they bring Ling Ai together today, so that I can see what a female hero looks like if she is as good as a woman."

"The little girl is timid and doesn't want to go out. That day, she stabbed Bai Ning when she saw me in danger and took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness. The word "female hero" is not to add to the head of a girl, and don't hold it too high." Zhou Tong said politely, raised his eyes upwards, and looked at the night sky: "... It's too late today, so I won't disturb the gang leader's rest. I'll ask for that matter."

Zhao Dongzhi's smile slightly decreased, and he pinched the wine glass and supported his feet and turned his fingers, "Master Zhou... I'll just talk about that."

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became strange. In a sense, this was the point. The lynx guarding the side frowned with the scabbard, and then the old man in front of him spoke.

"Gangmaster Zhao, but it's okay." Zhou Tong looked at him and bowed.

At this time, Zhao Dongzhi let go of the wine glass and stood up slightly, reached out and asked, "Master Zhou should sit down and talk. One person sat and one person stood, which seemed a little disgusting."

Since the other party spoke, Zhou Tong could not refute others' face, so he sat down again. On the other side, the old man said: "It is actually very difficult for Master Zhou to open a martial arts school in Chongping, a small county. Your father and daughter join forces to stab you. How can the eunuch in the East Factory be spared? Now in this county, I have been trying my best to keep in touch. If the martial arts school is opened on the street, no one can guarantee the subsequent things, right?

Zhou Tong naturally didn't care about the other party's words. The reason why they were able to get here today was because Bai Ning of Dongchang had never caused any trouble. Perhaps the admiral listened to what he said that day.

But for people outside, Zhou Tong dared not tell the relationship between them. If someone with interest knew that his daughter was Bai Ning's wife, the consequences... he would not dare to imagine.

He was not afraid of people from the Dongchang to come and ask for trouble, but he was even more worried about the people in the world. As for the people who are so demanding, how can the matter of face be compared with the safety of his daughter?

"What the Gangmaster Zhao said is indeed reasonable... It's just that Zhou Tong is from a teacher. No matter how good his reputation is, he can only teach some disciples. In this way, please ask Master Zhao to worry more. As for the wealth that he can handle, I still have some here."

Zhao Dongzhi waved his hand at him: "Do you think I am short of money for the money you have? I am actually doing this for opening a martial arts school. In fact, as long as Master Zhou agrees to the next condition, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it for you to lose everything and let the county magistrate in the city turn a blind eye. What do you think?"

"…..." Zhou Tong stared at the other party silently, waiting for the following text.

"Master Zhou doesn't have to be so serious..." the old man smiled and said, "...Anyway, Master Zhou is also a disciple, so why not teach me together as my fellow disciples of the Honglei Gang. I am the incompetent dog son who takes me to take care of me, he admires Master Zhou's name very much."

The night wind blew across the treetops, the branches swayed, and the leaves fell between the two of them. After a long silence, Zhou Tong glanced at him and finally said, "...Okay."

*********************************************

A bright crescent moon was walking in the clouds. Not long after, Zhou Tong left the Zhao Mansion with a lynx, and neither of them said a word along the way.

Late at night, there were almost no pedestrians on the street. The roads after the night market were dirty and messy. Occasionally, one or two drunkards would fall to the street or sleep or vomit. Then, when they were about to walk to the door, the lynx pointed to the door with a smile, and a crack was cracked on the other side of the door, and a simple face appeared quietly there.

Then, a slim figure flashed out and looked around with her feet. Suddenly, she looked at the woman outside and seemed to feel someone approaching. When she reacted, she had already patted her shoulder with one hand and was startled. Then she looked over and saw that she was a familiar person and stuck out her tongue.

"Dad has also learned to scare people."

"Why are you here alone, Nighthawk, Mountain Dog?"

He glanced sternly on the woman's face, looked into the yard, and then walked in with his hands behind his back, "It's so late, I won't go to rest... It would be very troublesome if the people in the East Factory knew that we were staying here."

"They... they fell asleep." Fu Qi looked like a child who was caught and had a prank, but she had a smile on her face, and she didn't seem to be afraid of the majesty of the old man. "Besides, if the people from the Dongchang really wanted to arrest us, they would have come long ago. And my daughter was worried that her father would not come back so late, but she was worried about you."

In the dark night, bright eyes blinked at the old man's gaze.

"I just knew to be smart..." The serious expression didn't last long, but she laughed out loud.

On the stone table not far away, Shangou and Nighthawk were sleeping unconsciously. Zhou Tong asked the lynx behind him to carry the two back into the room, then crossed the steps and said to the woman: "You... Dad asked you to read some books because he wanted you to gain some knowledge... He was protecting you... Don't do anything randomly."

"My daughter didn't take medicine... I just poured out a little bit of the wine that my father had been reluctant to drink." Fu Qi pounded the old man's back and chuckled, "...I just didn't expect that the wine was so powerful. Not long after my daughter entered the house, they got drunk."

The old man sitting on the chair was taking off his shoes and his hands and feet were parked in the air, "...wine... dad's jar of wine?" Then, a shoe fell to the ground with one foot. Zhou Tongguang ran to a room and came out with a jar of wine that had obviously been sealed.

"…. Dad finally got drunk and dreamed... gone."

The old man spoke a little depressedly. The woman on the other side blinked, looked around and walked away quietly with her hands on her toes, and ran into her room as if she ran away.
