The Song Dynasty was the most prosperous era in the history of the Celestial Empire in terms of economy, culture, and education. It had reached the peak of feudal society. The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianjing, was located in Henan. The economy of Henan developed rapidly under the influence of Bianjing, and the towns were also quite prosperous.
Shops, restaurants, and stalls stood on both sides of the town's streets. The sound of peddling rose and fell. The streets were bustling with people and cars. Liu Mingyue, who had entered the town under Qiao Feng's lead, saw this scene. Liu Mingyue followed Qiao Feng into a restaurant called Yue Lai. Before entering this restaurant, Liu Mingyue was still a little puzzled because she had seen several restaurants when she followed Qiao Feng around the town. However, seeing that Qiao Feng had no intention of entering, she did not ask much. It was only when she entered this restaurant that she found out the reason.
Everything was due to the environment. It was currently noon, and most of the traveling merchants went into the restaurant to satisfy their hunger and quench their thirst. The previous few restaurants could be heard from outside. Qiao Feng was not alone, and the two of them had something to talk about, so they found a relatively quiet restaurant. Qiao Feng was indeed meticulous. Liu Mingyue, who had thought it through, could not help but admire Qiao Feng. It was obvious that he was the leader of a gang.
The two of them found a quiet place to sit down. After Qiao Feng dismissed the waiter, he was about to ask Liu Mingyue about it. However, when he saw Liu Mingyue's expression of not wanting to talk about it, he could only hold it in for the time being. Of course, Liu Mingyue's expression was not fake. She had run dozens of miles and fought dozens of rounds with Qiao Feng. Now that it was noon, Liu Mingyue was already hungry and thirsty. The ancients had two meals a day, but she had always maintained the habit of three meals a day. Although martial artists couldn't abstain from eating, it was not a big deal if they didn't eat for a day. However, why should they endure if they could eat? Liu Mingyue wouldn't mistreat herself.
Not long after, the dishes and wine were served one after another. Liu Mingyue did not wait for Qiao Feng to greet her and began to chew and swallow the rice slowly. She wanted to eat meat and drink wine in large mouthfuls like the people in Jianghu, but a woman's esophagus was indeed smaller than a man's. She would never be able to eat meat and drink wine in large mouthfuls in her life. Qiao Feng drank wine from his bowl and occasionally ate a few mouthfuls of food. During this period, he wanted to say something but hesitated. Liu Mingyue saw it, but she ignored it and continued to eat.
Not long after, Liu Mingyue was already 70 - 80% full. A woman's stomach was indeed small. She could not eat as much as she wanted. Reaching out, she held the wine jug and filled a cup for herself. She toasted Qiao Feng, who returned the toast with a bowl. Liu Mingyue drank a few more cups in succession. When her face turned slightly red, she said,"Thank you for your hospitality, Chief Qiao. If you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know.”Her face turned red not because of Liu Mingyue's shyness, but because some people were born with red faces when they drank. She was such a person.
Qiao Feng had always been open and aboveboard in his actions. He only felt that Liu Mingyue had acted impolitely by eating without waiting for him to greet her, which caused his face to turn red. Since the other party had already spoken and Qiao Feng was eager to know about the Crouching Bull Sect, he did not take it to heart." There's no need to be polite. It's just a meal of wine and food. Miss Liu, you don't have to take it to heart. I do have a few questions for you."”
Qiao Feng asked after some pleasantries,""May I ask if Miss Liu was the person who infiltrated the Crouching Bull Sect last night?”
"That's right."
"May I ask why Miss Liu is like this?"
"Not long ago, I left the mountain and came to Xinyang. I knew that the Crouching Bull Sect was very famous in Xinyang, so I was just itching to learn.”
"Why does Miss Liu know the Crouching Bull Sect's ultimate skill? When we exchanged blows just now, although the Taizu Long Fist that you used was similar in form and spirit, with inner strength that was soft and hard, and hard and soft, this Qiao has practiced martial arts for many years and can see that the connection between your moves is not smooth.”
"Gang Leader Qiao, you are indeed sharp. The internal energy that I have learned is extremely powerful. It is formless and traceless. With this skill, as long as you know the moves of other martial arts, you can imitate other people's unique skills and even surpass others.”
" Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of our Beggar's Sect, died to his own unique skill, the Throat-locking Hand. Sima Wei of the Qingcheng Sect died to our sect's unique skill, the Moon-breaking Awl. Qin Boqi, the son of the Qin Clan's Stronghold Master of Yunzhou, died to the King's Four Strokes of the Five Tigers 'Gate Breaking Saber. Now, Ke Baisui, the leader of the Crouching Bull Sect, died to our sect's unique skill, the Hundred Victory Divine Whip. People in Jianghu all think that this was caused by the Murong family in Jiangnan's' Give him a taste of his own medicine.' However, Young Master Murong is as famous as me, so he must have his own merits. Now that I know that Miss Liu has a strange skill and can imitate other people's moves, I wonder if Miss Liu can explain it to me?”
Liu Mingyue didn't answer immediately. She looked at Qiao Feng for a while, then turned her eyes and didn't get up. She turned her right hand into a palm and attacked Qiao Feng. At first, Qiao Feng thought that Liu Mingyue had been exposed and wanted to harm him. However, seeing Liu Mingyue sitting on the stool and not containing any inner strength in her attacks, he remembered the fight in the small forest and knew that Liu Mingyue must have a deeper meaning. Therefore, he also did not use his inner strength and used his moves to break it.
In the beginning, Qiao Feng could still use the Taizu Long Fist to deal with the attacks, but the more he fought, the more shocked he became. Both of their moves were not supplemented by internal energy. They were purely fighting with moves. Liu Mingyue's palm techniques and grappling hands contained sword techniques, knife techniques, whip techniques, spear techniques, grasping techniques, axe techniques, and other unique skills of various weapons. The changes were complicated. The Taizu Long Fist was only an ordinary martial arts technique. How could it be compared to the opponent's exquisite moves? He could only change it to the Dragon Claw Hand to deal with it.
After the two sides exchanged dozens of moves, Liu Mingyue withdrew her hands and stopped attacking. She wasn't afraid that Qiao Feng would continue to attack her." If you don't use internal energy, just in terms of moves, the opponent's moves are far more exquisite than the Dragon Claw Hand." Seeing that Liu Mingyue had stopped, Qiao Feng didn't continue to pester her.
"This is our sect's ultimate technique, the Carefree Plum Splitting Hand.”Liu Mingyue asked Qiao Feng with a smile.
"So this ultimate art is called the Carefree Plum Splitting Hand. The exquisiteness of the move is probably rare in the world, but Qiao Feng can't compare.”Qiao Feng said casually.
"Gang Leader Qiao is too modest. If I use my full strength, I won't be able to defeat Gang Leader Qiao with this move. The people of my Carefree Sect pay attention to being straightforward and will admit what they have done. This little girl has just left the mountain, but I didn't do what you said.”Although there was no need for that, Liu Mingyue still gave an explanation to Qiao Feng, who she admired. "Carefree Sect, although I've never heard of it, it should be a hidden sect. Lady Liu should be similar to Young Master Murong in that she has a unique skill. Even if she kills someone, she doesn't need to use other people's moves to do things and expose herself. Moreover, Lady Liu infiltrated Crouching Bull Sect last night and didn't hurt anyone.”Thinking of this, Qiao Feng felt at ease.
"Since Miss Liu said so, I think Qiao Feng must have misunderstood. It's just that this matter concerns the safety of our Beggar's Sect's Vice Sect Master and the Jianghu. I hope Miss Liu can forgive Qiao Feng for his actions.”Qiao Feng cupped his fists and said solemnly.
"Gang Leader Qiao, you're being too serious. As the saying goes,'No fighting, no friendship'. To be able to get to know a hero like Gang Leader Qiao, this little girl is extremely fortunate.”Liu Mingyue had always admired Qiao Feng. Now that she was able to get to know Qiao Feng, she was indeed very happy. Such a hero was rare in the world.
"It is my honor to be acquainted with Miss Liu. Come, this Qiao will toast to Miss Liu.”Qiao Feng was also very happy to be able to get to know Liu Mingyue. After all, there were very few young female experts in Jianghu. Moreover, someone like Liu Mingyue who could drink was more in line with Qiao Feng's temper.
The two of them drank the wine on the table and toasted each other. People often said that the wine table was the best place to improve their relationship. After a while, Qiao Feng and Liu Mingyue started chatting like old friends. Most of the time, it was Qiao Feng who talked about the martial world. Liu Mingyue would occasionally interject a few words, and for a time, it was a happy and harmonious time.
Happy times were always short. The sun set and the moon rose. Unknowingly, the moon had already hung in the horizon, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled over the earth. In the restaurant, Qiao Feng and Liu Mingyue looked at each other and smiled. Then, they booked two rooms in the restaurant and went to rest.
