"Seniors, Wuji is injured and I have to return to Wudang immediately.”
After Jiang Changqing decided to return to Wudang Sect, he bid farewell to Hong Qigong and the other two. He said,"I wonder what the two seniors plan to do. Do you want to travel with me or do we part ways here?”
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets thought for a moment and said," We're indeed heading south. However, we'll stop and go. I'm afraid we'll delay your time, so we won't be traveling with you."”
After learning the Elder of Heavenly Secrets 'thoughts, Jiang Changqing looked at Hong Qigong.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hong Qigong laughed heartily and said,""It's been a long time since I've tasted Rong 'er's cooking. I'm going to Xiangyang to try her cooking again.”
"Xiangyang and Wudang are both in Xiangxi. If Young Hero Jiang doesn't mind, this old beggar would like to travel with you.”
Hearing Hong Qigong's words, Jiang Changqing shook his head with a faint smile and readily agreed.
Hong Qigong, a Xiantian expert, could also help a lot along the way.
Seeing Hong Qigong's plan, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets rolled his eyes and said,""In my opinion, it's fake that you want to taste Gang Leader Huang's cooking. It's true that you want to follow the Jiang Eight Heroes and taste his cooking along the way.”
Hong Qigong smiled awkwardly at the Elder of Heavenly Secrets 'words and did not explain.
Clearly, he had the same plan in his heart.
……
Several days later.
Yuzhou, Kaifeng City.
A horse carriage drove in at high speed and stopped in front of a restaurant.
The carriage stopped, and three people alighted. One old and two young.
The old man was dressed like a beggar, while the young man was dressed in white. He had a refined and handsome temperament, like an elegant young master who had descended from the heavens.
The young man beside them was pale and his aura was weak. He seemed to be seriously injured.
They were Jiang Changqing and the other two who had come from the Great Capital to the south.
"Let's stay here for the night."
Jiang Changqing got off the carriage and asked the servant to park the carriage before walking into the restaurant.
The three of them entered the restaurant. Jiang Changqing casually ordered some food and wine and listened to the conversations of the people around him.
"It is said that Wudang's Eight Swordsmen Jiang barged into Ruyang Mansion not long ago and forcefully kidnapped Princess Shao Min.”
"The Jiang Eight Heroes are indeed the role models of the younger generation in the martial arts world.”
"Compared to the Jiang Eight Heroes, the Shaolin baldies are truly shameless. They actually colluded with the Mongolian Tartars.”
"Have you heard? The massacre of the Crouching Bull Sect seemed to be the doing of the Jiang Eight Heroes.”
"Impossible. How could the Jiang Eight Swordsmen be calculative with such a small sect?”
……
Jiang Changqing heard the conversations of the people around him.
After learning that the Crouching Bull Sect had been destroyed, Jiang Changqing's expression changed slightly. He was surprised and said,"The Crouching Bull Sect was annihilated?"
"It wasn't Young Hero's doing?"
Hong Qigong asked curiously when he saw Jiang Changqing's reaction.
" No," Jiang Changqing shook his head and said," After I left Wudang Sect, the first sect I went to was the Crouching Bull Sect. Like the other sects, I only broke one of their arms as punishment."”
After hearing Jiang Changqing's explanation, Hong Qigong frowned and said,"That's a little strange. If I'm not mistaken, someone should be behind this and wants to use this matter to target you.”
After this period of interaction, Hong Qigong already had a pretty good understanding of Jiang Changqing's character.
His style of doing things was similar to that of Huang Yaoshi, both good and evil. However, one thing was certain: he was absolutely open and aboveboard.
Jiang Changqing nodded in agreement with Hong Qigong's analysis."It's just that I'm not sure who's adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. Could it be related to the last time the various sects went to Wudang?”
After thinking for a while, Jiang Changqing did not think too much about it. He would deal with whatever came his way. He, Jiang Changqing, had never been afraid.
At this moment.
A group of people rushed into the restaurant, attracting the attention of the guests.
In the middle of this group of people, there was an old man and a young man who were carrying a bamboo chair with difficulty.
A young man in luxurious clothes sat on the chair and shouted proudly,""The old thing in front and the little brat behind, you guys walk faster.”
"This Young Master has plenty of money. As long as you take every step, this Young Master will give you a penny.”
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people frowned slightly and began to point.
Hong Qigong's expression darkened as he looked at the young man on the bamboo chair with disgust.
Jiang Changqing was very indifferent. He only took a glance indifferently and then retracted his gaze.
To Jiang Changqing's surprise, Zhang Wuji's sense of justice burst out when he saw this scene. He said,"Eighth Martial Uncle, that old man and child are too pitiful. Please save them.”
In response to Zhang Wuji's request, Jiang Changqing's face was serious as he said,""Wuji, everyone has their own way of living. Do you know that if I were to make a move, I wouldn't really be helping them?”
Jiang Changqing's words made Zhang Wuji unconvinced. He snorted and said,"I know, you just don't want to save people. Don't find so many excuses. You've been like this all along the way, finding all kinds of excuses not to be chivalrous.”
"Senior Hong told me about some things about you. Your actions are not fake…"
Pa!
Before Zhang Wuji could finish his sentence, Jiang Changqing slapped him and shouted,"Shut up. Not even your parents have the right to judge how I do things, let alone you.”
"If I'm from the Devil Dao, then who is your foster father Xie Xun?”
Seeing Jiang Changqing's anger, Hong Qigong's expression tensed up. He immediately tried to persuade him,"Don't be angry, Swordsman Jiang. There's no need to be calculative with a child.”
Jiang Changqing didn't change his opinion about Hong Qigong's persuasion. He said,""Senior, I'm not calculative with him. As his senior, I'm only teaching him the principles of life so that he won't go astray in the future.”
Zhang Wuji did not accept Jiang Changqing's explanation. He looked at Hong Qigong pleadingly and said,"Duke Qi, please help save that old man and child.”
"Good!"
Hong Qigong nodded and waved his palm, sending the young man on the bamboo chair flying. He shouted,"Get lost immediately. I don't want to see you again.”
Seeing the might of Hong Qigong's palm, the young man on the bamboo chair was scared half to death and immediately left with his butt between his legs.
Seeing this, Zhang Wuji walked towards the old man and the young man and asked with concern,"Old man, little brother, are you alright? I've already asked Duke Qi to chase away that evil person who bullied you.”
"Humph!"
The old man and the young man stood up and looked at Hong Qigong with fear. They snorted unhappily and turned to leave.
Seeing the two's performance, Zhang Wuji was puzzled. He quickly chased after them and asked,"Old man, I helped you chase away the bad guys out of kindness. It's fine if you don't thank me, but why do you have to treat me like this?”
The old man and the young man were furious after being pestered by Zhang Wuji. They glared at him and shouted,"Bah! Are you meddling in our business? You're clearly harming us."
"You people in the martial arts world like to meddle in other people's business when you have nothing to do. Then, you go around bragging about being a chivalrous person.”
"Do you know that because of your kindness, we lost our jobs and lost our source of livelihood in the future?”
"We begged for three days to get the chance to lift Young Master He Feng today.”
"Get out of my way and don't follow me anymore. You self-righteous thing.”
The two old men cursed and swore for a while before they left the restaurant.
Zhang Wuji was completely stunned by this result. He felt that his outlook on life had collapsed.
They would never have thought that this would be the result.
Not only Zhang Wuji, but Hong Qigong was also surprised. He looked at Jiang Changqing in surprise.
He suddenly realized that he had lived for so long, but he did not seem to be as clear as Jiang Changqing.
