At the beginning of March, they arrived at Juyang. At that time, Juyang was a large city, about the same size as Guangling City. It was built by Liu Wu, the younger brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. It had a population of 50,000 to 60,000 and was very prosperous.
After the group of people checked into the hotel to rest, in the evening, the Wei family class began their performance in the bustling area. The seven members of the Wei family class had their own unique skills in singing and dancing, acrobatics, ventriloquism, magic, and so on. They also took care of each other and cooperated well with each other. Wherever they went, they would attract cheers. Mu Weizhou and Liu Qingping would occasionally help them maintain order and collect things. There was not much to participate in.
The two of them chatted as they watched Wei Luan and the others perform. "Big Brother Mu, how's your martial arts training?" Liu Qingping asked.”
Mu Weizhou replied," I don't know why I couldn't continue with the fifth stage of the Void Element Technique. Although my power has increased, my progress hasn't changed much." The Tao Le Sword Art was the same. There was nothing wrong with the first five moves. It was the " Shennong Tasts Grass." There was nothing wrong with the moves, but it felt wrong, so he couldn't feel the power of this move. I don't know why."
Liu Qingping heard this and thought for a while." Then, with your current martial arts, you should have no problem dealing with Cui Xiao, right?" I hate that person just thinking about it!"
Mu Weizhou said,"Yes, that person is so young, but he's actually so bad." However, in terms of martial arts, he is definitely not my match. However, in terms of viciousness and experience, he is still better than me. I'm probably the same as that androgynous guy, but I can't compare to that white-haired old man.”
"Why?" Liu Qingping asked.
"Do you still remember the Shennong Hundred Herbs Dew? When the black bottle was thrown over, it was steady and fast. Now that he thought about it, it was as if someone had placed it in front of him. If he changed the porcelain bottle to a hidden weapon and changed the target to a vital part of his body, I definitely wouldn't be able to guard against it. But I still can't figure out why he gave us the medicine.”Mu Weizhou replied.
" I don't understand either," Liu Qingping replied."Weng Botu is the hall master of the Shennong Association's medicine hall. He seems to have a good reputation. The Shennong Association is also a righteous sect. Their people beat up Big Brother Wei, and he helped us in private. I really don't understand.”
Mu Weizhou nodded and asked Liu Qingping,""Qingping, do you know who that You Liu is?”
Liu Qingping shook her head." I don't think I've heard of this person before. But he seems to be quite powerful." Could it be the Money Gang? It doesn't seem like it."
"Why do you say that?" Mu Weizhou asked.
"Someone that Cui Xiao and White-Headed Dragon want to befriend must be someone extraordinary. It was very likely that he was from the 'Peace, Money, Ocean, Tide, Water, Confucianism, Mohism, White Horse, Shennong Consociation'. Other than the Path of Peace and the Society of the Divine Farmer, the Confucians and Mohism were orthodox sects. The White Horse was the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. They were monks, and neither of them was likely. The leader of the Ocean Tide Gang, Wang Haize, was said to be an old man who did not look like You Liu. The only other faction left was the Money Gang.”
"Oh? Then why did you say it doesn't look like it?" Mu Weizhou asked again.
"Although the Money Gang is very powerful and has many halls in many places, and their gang leader, Qian Budai, is rarely seen, he has at least ten years of fame in the martial world. You Liu is at most thirty years old, so it doesn't seem to fit. Do you remember that there was another person among You Liu's three subordinates besides Hu Yandi and that half-man-half-woman?”
"Yes, now that you mention it, I seem to remember. However, that person was hidden behind them at that time, so I can't remember his appearance.”Mu Weizhou interrupted.
"Yes, it's him. It's just that I can't remember what he looks like. If they are from the Money Gang, I feel that something is wrong. What do you think, Brother Mu?" Liu Qingping said.
Hearing Liu Qingping's analysis, Mu Weizhou couldn't help but say,""Hmm, that makes sense. Could it be from another sect?”
"It's hard to say." Liu Qingping nodded slightly. Sigh, I know too little. How about this, after we arrive in Luoyang, we will go to the Sunset Smoke Hall to find my master. I believe he will tell us who this You Liu is, and I think he can also guide you in your cultivation.”
"Your master? Ah, I remember now. You seem to have told me once that you were called Old Man Chimney?”Mu Weizhou said.
"What smoky old man? Your master is called smoky old man? My master is known as Old Man Xi Yan! Let me tell you, he's an expert who doesn't enter the mortal world!”Liu Qingping smiled.
"Is that so? Then why are your martial arts so bad?" Mu Weizhou teased.
Liu Qingping rolled her eyes at him and said," Hey, you've only been practicing swordsmanship for two days, and you're already qualified to fight against others?" Besides, who said that if the master's martial arts were high, the disciple's martial arts would definitely be high? Lao Tzu said,"War is an inauspicious weapon. Some things hate it, so those who have the Way do not live in it."'Why would a reasonable person like me practice such high level martial arts?!”
Hearing her words, Mu Weizhou knew that he couldn't win against her, so he changed the topic and said,""How do you know so much at such a young age?”
"Studying." Liu Qingping replied," When I was young, I grew up with Uncle Emperor. Aunt Empress taught me and the Crown Prince's younger brother to study since we were young. The Crown Prince's younger brother is honest and studies harder than me. I can remember it once I study, so he didn't leave me behind. But I heard from auntie that the few of us added together are not as many books as the emperor uncle.”
Mu Weizhou couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he heard her say that. In his heart, Liu Qingping's uncle the emperor was more or less like a god. "Then, can you let me meet your uncle the emperor?"”
Liu Qingping looked at him and said," Uncle Emperor is very busy. I don't know if I have the chance. But I can ask my brother to think of a way. He's the easiest to bully. He should agree to me."”
Mu Weizhou was very happy when he heard that. The two of them chatted casually. After a while, Wei Luan and the others finished their performance. They helped pack up and returned to the inn for dinner before returning to their rooms.
After returning to his room, Mu Weizhou did not rest immediately. Practicing the Space Element Technique before going to bed every day had gradually become his habit. Now, Mu Weizhou could clearly feel that the genuine Qi in his body was as thick as a pinky finger. Every time he guided it according to the Void Element Art, he felt very comfortable.
About an hour later, everyone had basically fallen asleep. Mu Weizhou had once again entered the state of the Union of Heaven and Man, forgetting himself and everything else. The loud snores from a few rooms in the distance could even be heard.
At this moment, he vaguely heard someone in the next room say in a low voice,""They should be asleep now. Let's hurry up and act.”
When Mu Weizhou heard this, he thought to himself, could it be that there was a thief?
The other one said in an even lower voice,"Keep your voice down. Don't wake that kid surnamed Mu and the others up.”
Mu Weizhou was a little surprised. Could it be that they were here for him? He quickly collected his thoughts and quietly stood up to listen for any movements.
At this moment, it was completely silent outside. Only the soft sound of the door opening next door could be heard. The two of them walked out quietly and carefully past Mu Weizhou's door, heading towards the front hall.
Mu Weizhou did not say anything and quietly followed them out. The two of them came to the counter to pay the bill. With the help of the light, Mu Weizhou recognized them. It turned out that they were Fatty and Half-Head Gao, who had tried to rob them with He Jingjing in the dilapidated ancestral hall. Mu Weizhou wondered why these two were here. Why wasn't He Jingzi with them?
The two paid the bill and left the inn. They identified the direction and headed east. Mu Weizhou wanted to capture the two of them, but on second thought, he wanted to see what they were up to, so he secretly followed them. The two of them walked out of the west gate and did not stop when they arrived at a pavilion. Mu Weizhou was afraid of being discovered by them, so he stood in the distance to monitor them.
After a while, he heard Half-Head Gao say,"Hehe, Fatty Brother, luckily you're quick-witted. Otherwise, you might have been discovered by that kid with the surname Mu."”
"Of course." Fatty said proudly. But we are really unlucky to be staying in the same shop as him. Fortunately, you have sharp eyes and noticed them as soon as they entered the shop.”
Gao Bantou chuckled and continued,""Brother Fatty, Vice Banner Lord He asked us to meet here tonight. Why isn't he here yet?”
" We met that Mu kid at dinner," Fatty said after a moment of silence." He didn't come out. Perhaps the Banner Lord has already left."”
"Brother Fatty, are we still waiting?" Half-Head Gao asked anxiously. Why don't we hurry over? If we're too late, I'm afraid we won't get any credit.”
"Yes, brother, you have a point. Let's hurry to Daliang.”Fatty said.
Mu Weizhou saw that the two of them were not leaving, so he stood out from the shadows and blocked their way.
Just as the two of them were about to set off, someone suddenly appeared from the shadows in the middle of the night. They were inevitably shocked. In addition, the two of them had done many bad things, so they were already suspicious. They saw the fatty hide behind his head and say in a trembling voice,"What, what…thing?"
Mu Weizhou did not want to scare them, so he took two steps forward and said,""Why? You guys don't know me either?"
When Fatty and Half-Head Gao saw that it was Mu Weizhou, they were not as afraid as before. Half-Head Gao stretched his neck and looked behind Mu Weizhou. After confirming that it was only him, he raised his voice with some relief and said,"So it's you, kid. Why? Why didn't Black Light sleep in the middle of the night?”
"Oh, big brother, I heard that you guys are going to do big business, so I want to join you guys."”
Half-Head Gao seemed to be very happy when he heard that. He turned to Fatty and said," Hey, Brother Fatty, this kid's martial arts aren't bad. If we let him join us, then that Emperor…"
Before he could finish, Fatty raised his hand and slapped his head. He said,"What gang? This kid is lying to you. Let's take care of him while he's alone. Go!"
Gao Bantou understood what was going on after being slapped by him. When he heard Fatty say that he was going to fight, he swung his saber at Mu Weizhou without thinking. The fatty turned around and ran in another direction.
How could Half-Head Gao be a match for Mu Weizhou? Seeing Half-Head Gao swinging his saber at him, Mu Weizhou did not even dodge. He directly took a step forward and kicked him back, sending Half-Head Gao sprawling on the ground. Then, with a sway of his body, he rushed behind Fatty in a few steps. With a sweep of his leg, he tripped over the dog and fell to the ground.
Mu Weizhou walked forward, squatted down, and said to Fatty with a smile,""Brother Fatty, you're really bad. You're shouting to get rid of me, but why are you running over there?”
Fatty had been badly injured from the fall just now. He lay there and cried out for mercy, unable to answer.
Mu Weizhou thought for a moment, pulled out the Zhanlu Sword, and pressed the cold blade against Fatty's face, saying,"Tell me, what big business do you want to do in Daliang? If you tell me clearly, I promise I won't kill you.”In fact, how could Mu Weizhou kill him? Even if you asked Mu Weizhou to kill someone, he probably wouldn't have the guts to do so now. The reason why he did so was because he realized that this fatty was more afraid of death. If he was scared like this, he would definitely say anything. Moreover, Mu Weizhou said that he would not kill him, but he did not say that he would not send them to the government.
As expected by Mu Weizhou, the moment the Clear Sable Sword touched his face, not only did the fatty sweat, he even peed. He immediately said,"Hero, spare me! Hero, spare me! We were supposed to meet Vice Banner Lord He, no, He Jingzi, here and go to Daliang City together. He said that the Emperor was returning to Luoyang on a tour and would pass by Daliang City at noon tomorrow. At that time, he would assassinate the Emperor with Hua Ergu and the Huyan Guards. Half-Head Gao and I will be in charge of receiving them. After we're done, we'll be promoted to Deputy Banner Lords. We were supposed to meet here at night, but when we were about to come out at night, we happened to see you guys eating, so we waited until just now. He didn't expect Hero to find out. That was all Vice…Mirror He's idea. It had nothing to do with us. Hero, please spare our lives! Spare me!" Fatty listened to Mu Weizhou speak clearly, afraid that he would say a wrong word. He said everything in one go as if he had memorized everything.
When Mu Weizhou heard that they were going to assassinate the Emperor, he couldn't help but become cautious. If these two pieces of trash were to assassinate the Emperor, it would be a joke. Even if it was He Jingzi, it would probably be impossible. However, if there were others, it would be hard to say. "Assassinate the emperor? Assassinate which emperor? Who's this Hua Ergu you're talking about?”
Fatty shifted his face away from the sword and said,""The emperor is our current emperor. Hua Ergu was that man and woman. His real name was He Lan Xing. Although he was a man, he thought of himself as a woman. Hu Yanwei was Hu Yanti, that big guy. There's also a master, but I don't know his name.”
Hearing what he said, Mu Weizhou felt that he was not making it up. If he was the one who said that Hua Ergu and the others would go, the outcome would be hard to predict. He immediately felt that he should go back and discuss with Liu Qingping what to do next. He pressed the sword against Fatty's throat and said,""Fatty, are you lying to me? If you lie to me, I won't be polite.”
The fat man was forced by the sword, and he was instantly disheartened. With a poof, he pooped in his pants. He cried bitterly and swore that it was absolutely true. There was no lie. If he didn't die, his entire family would die. Mu Weizhou looked at him and knew that he wouldn't lie. He couldn't help but laugh. Just as he was about to get up, he thought of something and asked,"Who is that You Liu?"
Hearing Mu Weizhou's question, Fatty suddenly stopped talking. It turned out that with his identity, it was impossible for him to know the secret of Uliu's identity. However, He Jingzi told him so that he could use him better. However, before telling him, he made him swear not to tell anyone. If he did, his entire family would die. When Mu Weizhou asked that question, the fatty was stunned. He realized that he was faced with a problem. Even if he said it, his entire family would die. If he didn't say it, his entire family would die. He didn't know what to do.
Mu Weizhou knew that something was wrong when he saw him like this. He punched his chest and said,"What are you thinking about? Do you want me to kill you?”
Half-Head replied,""Don't kill him, I'm telling you. Prince Youliu was a Xiongnu, and his father was the current Xiongnu Da Dan Yu. We don't know anything else.”
At this moment, Fatty was extremely grateful to this " good friend " of his. At the same time, he was also proud of the way he had written to tell the tall half-head who Uliu was. For a moment, he thought that he was no different from Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, who could predict the future. He actually felt sad about his current situation.
Mu Weizhou did not know that they were so emotional. When he heard that You Liu was the prince of the Xiongnu, he knew that the situation was even more serious. He did not care about handing the two of them over to the government and got up to run to the inn. Before he got up, he even threatened the two of them, saying,"You two should go to the government office at dawn and solve your problems. Otherwise, I'll definitely kill you the next time I see you."”
Seeing Mu Weizhou leave, the two 'gay friends' finally felt relieved. In the morning, they really went to the government to surrender, but they were thought to be two lunatics by the bailiffs and were beaten out. It was also because Mu Weizhou was not on guard. Otherwise, he would have asked in detail when he encountered such matters involving foreign countries. There were often many unspeakable secrets hidden behind such matters.
After pressing the " best friend " button, Mu Weizhou hurriedly ran back to the hotel, knocked on the door to wake Liu Qingping and the others, and briefly explained the matter. After Liu Qingping heard this, she became anxious. Firstly, he had grown up with his uncle and aunt and had a very good relationship with them. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as father and daughter. When he heard that someone was trying to assassinate the Emperor, he was naturally worried. In addition, she knew about the Emperor's guards. Those people were more than enough to deal with ordinary bandits or commoners in the martial arts world. However, it was hard to say if they really encountered martial arts experts. At the same time, they could not inform the authorities of this matter because Mu Weizhou and the others were not sure if it was true. If they informed the authorities, it would be no laughing matter if it was fake and they were charged with deceiving the emperor. After some discussion, they decided that Mu Weizhou and Liu Qingping would set off immediately to report to the Emperor and provide reinforcements. Wei Luan and the others would set off later and receive them from behind. If they could not meet up with Daliang, they would meet up at the White Horse Temple in Luoyang.
The few of them discussed and Wei Luan helped them pack their things. Mu Weizhou and Liu Qingping rode the best horses with stars above their heads.
