Hong Qigong's Purpose
"Since that's the case, then I'll enjoy this Monkey Wine alone.”
As Lian Chengbi spoke, the little water dragon floating in the air seemed to have come alive. It flew towards him, and when it approached the hand that was holding the cup, the water dragon turned into a ball of water and fell into his palm.
There seemed to be a wine glass there.
Liancheng Bi drank it all in one gulp and silently savored it for a moment before praising,""It is indeed good wine."
At this moment, Huang Rong led two waiters over with two food boxes.
Qiu Chuji and the Jiangnan Seven Monsters tactfully took their leave. Guo Jing originally wanted to leave with them, but he was stopped by the Genius Scholar Zhu Cong.
Hong Qigong sat in front of a low banquet table and began to eat without any regard for his image. As he ate, he praised Huang Rong's culinary skills.
Huang Rong sat beside Lian Chengbi. She knew that this old beggar was Northern Beggar Hong Qigong, so when she heard the praise, she immediately beamed with joy.
Guo Jing was a little at a loss. He felt that staying here seemed a little unnecessary.
After finishing all the food on the table, Hong Qigong rubbed his slightly bulging stomach and glanced at Guo Jing.
"You want me to take this kid as my disciple?”Hong Qigong asked.
Guo Jing suddenly became uneasy.
"You and him are fated," said Lian Chengbi.”
Hong Qigong smiled and said," You want his Ferghana Horse, but I'm the one taking him in as a disciple. Do you think it's appropriate?"”
"I'm only making a suggestion. If Duke Qi is unwilling, then forget it."”
Hong Qigong raised his eyebrows and carefully sized up Guo Jing, but he still could not see anything special about him.
"For the sake of this meal, I'll teach him for a month."”
"Silly boy, hurry up and thank the Seventh Duke.”Liancheng Bi glanced at Guo Jing.
"Oh, oh." Guo Jing hurriedly responded. He looked at Hong Qigong and thanked him,"Thank you, Seventh Duke."
"You go back first. I'll look for you when I'm free.”Hong Qigong waved his hand.
"Oh, oh."
After Guo Jing left, Lian Chengbi looked at Huang Rong beside him and instructed," You go back first too."”
"Oh."
Huang Rong was very obedient.
"Why did the Seventh Duke come?"
Liancheng Bi asked.
He had two guesses in his heart, the dog beating stick and Ouyang Ke.
Beggar's Sect existed in the Northern Song Dynasty, Southern Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Mengyuan Dynasty, and other countries. However, Beggar's Sect only had one holy item, the Dog Beating Stick. The Beggar's Sect in the other countries took turns to take care of it.
Lian Chengbi stole the dog baton. Although he did it very secretly, he had appeared in the Apricot Forest at that time. If he wanted to find a suspect, he should be the first choice.
It was very likely that Hong Qigong had come to find him this time to beat the dog with a stick.
Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng were equally famous. Although the two of them did not get along, they had some dealings with each other.
Ouyang Keshen's death made sense for Hong Qigong to come and check.
"Before we talk, the old beggar wants to confirm your identity.”Hong Qigong said.
Lian Chengbi reached out and took off his mask, revealing his true face.
"It really is you." Hong Qigong sighed, unable to remain calm.
According to what he knew, the person in front of him should be around twenty years old, but his cultivation was not weaker than his.
"In front of the seven dukes, there is no need to hide.”Liancheng Bi said.
"You killed Ouyang Ke. His uncle, Ouyang Feng, will definitely not let this matter rest.”
"Oh? Is Duke Qi here for Ouyang Ke?" Liancheng Bi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Hong Qigong shook his head.”
Liancheng Bi took a sip of wine and asked,""You lost the dog baton?"
" Yes." Hong Qigong nodded and said," That day, in the apricot forest outside of Wuxi City, the Beggar's Sect of the Northern Song Dynasty chased Qiao Feng out of the Beggar's Sect. After that, the dog beating stick disappeared."”
"Then Duke Qi is looking for me?" Liancheng Bi asked.
"Everything that happened in Jiangnan can't be hidden from Young Master Bi, right?”
Lian Chengbi smiled. He vaguely felt that Hong Qigong had a hidden meaning in his words, as if he already knew that he was the one who stole the dog baton.
"There are very few Beggar's Sect disciples in Jiangnan, so I haven't paid much attention to Beggar's Sect.”
Lian Chengbi muttered to himself," If Duke Qi needs it, I can help you investigate."”
"Help me find the dog baton, and I'll help you stop Ouyang Feng," said Hong Qigong.”
This time, Lian Chengbi was completely certain that Hong Qigong definitely knew that he had stolen the dog baton.
Otherwise, he would never have proposed such an exchange.
One had to know that Ouyang Feng's strength was not weaker than Hong Qigong's. Furthermore, if Ouyang Feng were to come looking for him this time, it would be considered revenge. It would be unreasonable for Hong Qigong to stop him.
"One month."
Lian Chengbi muttered," Within a month, I'll help you find the dog baton. You help me keep an eye on Ouyang Feng. Unless he hurts someone in Jiangnan, you don't have to do anything. Just tell me his whereabouts."”
The news of killing Ouyang Ke had already reached Wugou Manor. Su Ying and the rest should have already made preparations to deal with Ouyang Feng, so Hong Qigong did not need to make a move.
The main thing was that Hong Qigong knew the whereabouts of the dog beating stick, yet he still offered such conditions. This made Lian Chengbi feel ashamed. Naturally, he would not really trouble Hong Qigong to deal with Ouyang Feng.
Of course, more importantly, Wugou Villa was not afraid of Ouyang Feng.
Hong Qigong revealed a surprised expression. He did not expect Lian Chengbi to be so easy to talk to.
"The old beggar knows something that might interest you."”
