Xiangyang, Guo Mansion.
An old beggar with a missing index finger leisurely came to the front of the manor.
When the guards at the door saw him, they all showed respectful expressions. After bowing, they ran into the residence to report.
Soon, a group of people walked out of the manor and excitedly welcomed the old beggar.
"Duke Qi, it really is you. Please come inside.”
When Guo Jing saw Hong Qigong, he greeted him warmly and brought Hong Qigong into the inner hall.
Everyone sat down in the inner hall. Huang Rong sized up Hong Qigong and asked curiously,""Duke Qi, where have you been all these years? Why haven't I heard anything about you?”
Guo Jing and the others were also very curious and wanted to know about Hong Qigong's experiences.
"I've been to many places over the years. It can be said that I've traveled all over the world.”
"A while ago, I was still in the imperial kitchen of the capital, enjoying all kinds of delicacies every day.”
Hearing Hong Qigong's words, everyone present felt admiration for him.
Only an expert like Hong Qigong could accomplish such a feat.
At this point, Huang Rong smiled playfully and asked Hong Qigong,""Seventh Duke, did you steal food in the Imperial Palace and get caught by them?”
"Then, I had no choice but to escape from the palace and come all the way south to Xiangyang. I wanted to cook some good dishes for you.”
Guo Jing and the others agreed with Huang Rong's guess. That should be it.
Hong Qigong did not defend Huang Rong's guess. His expression turned slightly serious as he said,"Your guess can be said to be correct, but it can't be said to be completely correct.”
"I came to Xiangyang City from the capital because I thought of your cooking and wanted to taste it.”
"However, I didn't leave the imperial kitchen in the capital because they found out. I left because I wanted to help the Jiang Eight Heroes.”
Following that, Hong Qigong told Guo Jing and the others what had happened.
After listening to Hong Qigong's narration, Guo Jing revealed an expression of admiration and said,""The Jiang Eight Heroes are indeed young heroes. If there's a chance, I must meet them.”
Huang Rong smiled gently at Guo Jing's reaction and said,""Brother Jing, don't worry. There will definitely be a chance.”
After catching up with Huang Rong and the others, Hong Qigong became impatient and said,""Rong 'er, after we came out of the palace, the Eight Swordsmen Jiang made a few very interesting dishes. They used true energy to drive the flames to roast whole rabbits and whole lambs. The taste is really superb.”
"Go and prepare the rabbit and sheep. I'll show you.”
Hearing Hong Qigong's words, Huang Rong looked puzzled and said,""Roast sheep and pigs with True Qi?”
Although Huang Rong and the others were puzzled, they still did as they were told.
Not long after.
In the backyard of Guo Manor.
"Duke Qi, is this really possible?"
Looking at the whole lamb in front of him, Guo Jing asked with some doubt.
Although Huang Rong did not speak, her eyes were filled with doubt.
"I saw it with my own eyes. How can it be fake?”
Hong Qigong answered Huang Rong and the others 'questions with a serious expression.
Following that, Hong Qigong circulated his True Qi and began to roast the entire lamb.
Huang Rong and the others were all curious as they watched silently from the side.
About an hour later.
Beads of sweat began to appear on Hong Qigong's forehead, as if he had exhausted too much True Qi.
However, the whole lamb on the fire rack was only half-cooked.
Although he could already smell the fragrance, he was still quite a distance away from being fully cooked.
Seeing Hong Qigong's expression, Guo Jing asked with concern,""Duke Qi, I don't think this method will work. You shouldn't waste your energy.”
"Later, I'll let Rong 'er cook for you. I'll cook a few dishes for you. You can enjoy them in peace.”
Hearing Guo Jing's persuasion and looking at his own situation, Hong Qigong stopped.
Recalling Jiang Changqing's situation that day and comparing it to his own, Hong Qigong was instantly shocked. He said,"The internal energy of the Eight Swordsmen Jiang is really bottomless. Only after this old beggar tried it today did he realize the gap between me and him.”
Hong Qigong's words puzzled Guo Jing. He said,""Seventh Duke, what do you mean?"
Hong Qigong had a serious expression as he recounted the situation that day."That day, the old fraud and I saw with our own eyes that the Eight Swordsmen Jiang had done the same thing as I did just now. They circulated their True Qi for several hours and roasted wild rabbits and wild boars.”
Hearing Hong Qigong's words, Guo Jing and the others were shocked.
"From the looks of it, the strength of the Eight Swordsmen Jiang's zhenqi is truly unfathomable.”
Guo Jing sighed with emotion. His admiration for Jiang Changqing could not help but increase a little."When I have the chance to meet him, I must drink with him and talk to him for three days and three nights.”
Hearing Guo Jing's words, Huang Rong glared at him and said to Hong Qigong,""Qi Gong, go and rest first. I'll cook some dishes for you. Later, you and Jing gege can have a few cups.”
Upon hearing Huang Rong's words, Hong Qigong nodded happily.
After the trial just now, he had already discovered the gap between him and Jiang Changqing.
……
At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain in the Ba and Shu region.
After Jiang Changqing left Wudang Sect, he finally arrived after traveling for more than ten days.
"So this is Qingcheng Mountain."
Looking at the tall mountains and lush forests in front of him, Jiang Changqing thought of a ballad.
"Bai Suzhen, from Qingcheng Mountain, cultivated this body for a thousand years in the cave.”
……
After observing Qingcheng Mountain for a while, Jiang Changqing did not stop and continued to rush west.
After entering the Ba Shu region, Jiang Changqing could clearly feel that the local customs and customs here were different.
Their clothes were also very different from those in the Central Plains.
After an unknown period of time, Jiang Changqing arrived at a small fishing village. A row of simple straw huts was built by the river.
At a glance, it was like a paradise, isolated from the world.
"Don't let him escape!"
"Chang Yuchun, where are you running to?!"
Chang Yuchun, you can't escape."
……
Suddenly, a clamor broke the silence.
Hearing the clamor from the river, Jiang Changqing frowned slightly, and his gaze became sharper.
This rare sense of tranquility was actually destroyed by these guys. He had to teach them a lesson.
To Jiang Changqing's surprise, before he could teach them a lesson, those people looked at him coldly and said,"To prevent the news from leaking out, kill this kid together.”
Soon, a man charged at Jiang Changqing with a saber. His face was ferocious and fierce.
Jiang Changqing's expression darkened slightly when he saw this person's actions, and a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
