Outside Chizhou City.
In a lake, a group of wild geese were playing. They were waiting for a good rest before continuing to fly south.
A wild goose was chirping and calling out to its companions. Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew through the air and flew into the wild goose's mouth.
Crash!
A group of wild birds flew up in fright. When they looked at the wild goose again, they kept flapping on the water surface. It seemed that it would not survive.
"He hit it!"
Beside the lake, Liang Hongyu cheered. With a wave of her hand, a yellow dog jumped into the lake and brought back the wild goose that had been shot.
Liang Hongyu took the wild goose and saw that the arrow had entered the wild goose's mouth without hurting its outer fur. She could not help but look at Xu Fengwu with admiration.
It was rumored that some hunters with excellent archery skills could shoot arrows into the wild goose's mouth when it opened its mouth. This way, the wild goose would not be damaged externally and could be sold for a higher price.
"Cousin Feng Wu, you're so powerful! You can shoot open geese!”Liang Hongyu could not help but praise.
Xu Fengwu smiled proudly and put away his bow."I'm powerful in many ways. This is nothing!”
Liang Hongyu snorted lightly, but she held his arm and said,"Cousin Feng Wu, I know you're the best. When are you going to teach me new moves?”
What new move? If he didn't make it clear, others would misunderstand.
Xu Fengwu chuckled." I've taught you so many things. If you can master them, you'll be very powerful. Remember, you can't bite off more than you can chew."”
"I've remembered everything you've taught me, so teach me something new."”
Xu Fengwu patted her head and said,""You're really greedy! Alright, since I'm leaving tomorrow, I'll teach you one last move.”
"Cousin, why are you leaving so soon?" Liang Hongyu frowned. How long have you been in Chizhou? Can't you stay a few more days? Why don't you spend the New Year here?”
Xu Fengwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said,"You might as well say that I'll marry into your family."”
When Liang Hongyu heard this, her small face immediately turned red. She said shyly and angrily,"Cousin, if you continue to spout nonsense like this, I will tell my mother.”
Xu Fengwu nodded and said seriously,""Go quickly. I'm too lazy to speak.”
"You think I don't dare to say it?" Liang Hongyu stomped her feet and snorted. I'll go tell my mother now. Let's see what you do next.”
Liang Hongyu pretended to turn around and leave. However, after a few steps, she did not see any movement behind her. She could not help but turn around and see Xu Fengwu smiling at her.
Liang Hongyu snorted. She wanted to leave, but when she thought about Xu Fengwu's request tomorrow, she was very reluctant to leave. She immediately returned obediently.
"Why are you back?" Xu Fengwu asked with a smile.”
"I'm afraid some people don't know the way and get lost." Liang Hongyu said stubbornly.”
Xu Fengwu saw her arrogant look and said,""Alright, we've been out for a long time. It's time to go back.”
Liang Hongyu grabbed his arm and pouted.""Cousin, are you really planning to leave? When are you coming to Chizhou again?"
Seeing that she was reluctant to part, Xu Fengwu said,""Don't worry, I'll come again if I have the chance.”
Liang Hongyu was silent for a while. Suddenly, she gently leaned on Xu Fengwu and said reluctantly,"Cousin, you must come again.”
Ever since the two of them sparred that day, Xu Fengwu had taught Liang Hongyu martial arts. They often sparred with each other and went out to play together from time to time. It could be said that they were inseparable.
During this period, it was naturally unavoidable for her to have intimate contact with him. Liang Hongyu admired this cousin very much, and it was also the time when she first experienced love, so she could not help but secretly feel affection in her heart.
Now that she heard that Xu Fengwu was leaving, Liang Hongyu could not suppress the admiration in her heart and made a confession.
Xu Fengwu was surprised to see her so bold. He thought to himself, I haven't even used my skills yet, and my cousin has already fallen for me?
Xu Fengwu coughed lightly and held Liang Hongyu's hand.""I promise you, even if I can't come for the time being, I'll send someone to send a letter.”
" Mm--" Liang Hongyu softly hummed. Her face was full of shyness, as if she felt that her actions were a little too bold.
"Let's go back." Xu Fengwu held her hand and walked straight to Chizhou City.
Liang Hongyu allowed her cousin to hold her hand. She felt her heart beating very fast and her palms were full of sweat, but she hoped that this road would never end.
The next morning, Xu Fengwu bid farewell to the Liang family and prepared to leave with Ruan Second and the others.
Before leaving, Mrs. Livingstone stuffed a letter into Xu Fengwu's hands and said,"Fengwu, you must come to Chizhou again when you have time. Also, give this letter to your parents.”
Xu Fengwu put away the letter and said,"I understand. Auntie, you don't have to send it. Just let cousin send it."?”
"Be careful on the road!" Mrs. Livingstone nodded.”
Immediately, Liang Chengye sent Xu Fengwu and his group to the ferry outside the city. Ruan Er had already called a boat and was waiting.
Xu Fengwu was at the Liang family's residence just now and did not see Liang Hongyu. He could not ask about it now, so he cupped his fists at Liang Chengye and said,""Cousin, see you again!"
"See you again!"
Liang Chengye also cupped his fists and took out a small brocade box. He said,""Hong Yu asked me to give this to you. She said she wasn't feeling well today, so she didn't come to see you off.”
Uncomfortable? Could it be that her period was here?
Xu Fengwu smiled and accepted the brocade box."I understand."
Seeing that there was no one else around, Liang Chengye said,""You have defeated the government army twice. If this news spreads to the capital, I'm afraid the imperial court will send an army to encircle and suppress you.”
Xu Fengwu smiled and said," Cousin, don't worry. I'll deal with whatever comes my way."”
Liang Chengye continued," I'm only worried that if you make a big fuss in the future and my parents find out, I won't know how to explain it to them."”
"What's there to explain?" Xu Fengwu asked. Just tell the truth. You guys, on the other hand, have to be careful in Jiangnan.”
"What are we being careful of?" Liang Chengye asked curiously.”
Xu Fengwu hesitated for a moment and said,""Cousin, you have also seen it. This Jiangnan Flower Stone Gang is very poisonous. The common people are in dire straits. I'm afraid that one day in the future…"
There were some words that could be said as soon as they were said.
Liang Chengye was shocked. However, after thinking about it carefully, if this continued, there was a real possibility that the officials would force the people to rebel.
"Got it. I'll tell grandfather and father to be careful.”
Liang Chengye smiled bitterly. If there was a civil revolt in Jiangnan in the future, his grandfather and father, as military officials, would naturally lead troops to suppress it. He was afraid that it would be dangerous.
"Alright then, I'll be leaving now.”
Xu Fengwu knew that it was still too early to talk about this. There were still a few years before Fang La's uprising.
Even if the Liang Family was really like what happened in history, where General Liang and General Xiao Liang were killed and the women of the Liang Family were sent to the Education Bureau, Xu Fengwu had the ability to rescue them.
After bidding farewell to Liang Chengye, Xu Fengwu boarded the boat. Ruan the Second immediately called the boatman to set sail and went down the Yangtze River.
Xu Fengwu stood on the bow of the ship and opened the brocade box. Inside was a jade pendant with a colorful ribbon and a note under it.
Xu Fengwu smiled and opened the note. There was a line of small words on it:
"How can I owe you a favor? Beautiful jade adorns the tassel."
