Xu Zhutao and the four swordswomen had just found an empty table to sit down and ordered food and wine. They looked up and saw that there were many guests in the lobby of the restaurant. Not long after, the waiter brought them food and wine. After eating for a while, they suddenly heard someone shout,"Good news! Good news!" He turned around and saw a burly man running in from outside the door. He quickly found an empty seat and sat down, shouting,"Waiter, get me a jar of good wine, a plate of peanuts, and half a catty of braised pork!”A shop assistant hurriedly ran over to welcome him and said,"Sir, I have remembered everything. May I ask what good news you just said?”"The good news is…" The man raised his voice again."I heard it all. The good news is that the Four Bandits of Sichuan have been killed!”"Good news indeed!" All the customers cheered.”"This is really good news!" "As expected, someone has avenged Minister Zeng's family!”For a time, there was thunderous cheers and endless noise.
The shop assistant also said,"It's good news indeed. I wonder which hero eliminated the evil for the people?"”
"Bring me the good wine and food first," the man shouted,"I'll tell you more!"”The shop assistant understood.
There were quite a few people sitting in the lobby. At this time, they all took over the shop assistant's question and asked the person who eliminated the evil for the people. The person stood up proudly and said,"Have you heard of the White Horse Prince?”"I've heard of it!" "Of course I have!" "Aren't you talking nonsense? Who hasn't heard of the White Horse Prince?”"You're saying that those four evil thieves were killed by the White Horse Prince?" someone shouted.”"Not only the White Horse Prince, but also the White-robed Dragon Lady and the two beauties of the dead souls!" It was them who had eliminated the evil for the people!”Everyone cheered." Young Master White Horse is indeed Young Master White Horse!”"Good job, White-Robed Dragon Lady!" "The two beauties of the dead souls are also good!" There was another round of noise.
The few heroines were secretly amused when they heard this. Ding Feng lowered her voice and said,"We're heroes too, but how did the news spread so fast?”
"Continue listening!" Ding Ling said. Perhaps Master Leng or his disciples had come to Chengdu.”
The few of them listened carefully again. As expected, not long after, someone asked the man who had just entered how he knew about this matter. That man said that Mister Leng and his disciples had witnessed it with their own eyes, and the news was brought by one of Mister Leng's disciples. Then, someone asked how old the white-robed dragon girl looked and how old the two beauties of the dead souls looked, but that man could not answer.
After they finished their meal, they asked the shopkeeper for three rooms to rest. Xu Zhutao couldn't sleep for a while. He thought about how to trick Ding Ling and Ding Feng back to the Death Soul Valley. After thinking for a while, he practiced his Internal Strength.
In the evening, You, Zou, and Lu all came and stayed in the Full Moon Frost Restaurant. After everyone had dinner, Xu Zhutao suggested that they take a walk on the streets. At this moment, the lights were on and everyone was walking on the streets of Chengdu. They saw that Chengdu was bustling and was not inferior to a big city like Wuchang. There were all kinds of shops on the streets and countless high-rise houses. There was an endless stream of pedestrians, and it was a flourishing scene of singing and dancing. The two beauties of the dead walked in front. The two of them seemed to be very familiar with Chengdu and brought Shangguan Wanqian and Jade Raksha around. Buying all kinds of small things.
Xu Zhutao, You, Zou, and Lu were walking behind. Thinking that this trip was safe and sound, it was all thanks to Xu Zhutao and a few heroines. Lu Dawei was very touched and said,"It was all thanks to Young Master Xu and a few heroines that we were able to reach Chengdu safely. If it was just me, Brother You, and Brother Zou, I'm afraid we would have long been dead souls under the sabers of the Four Bandits of Sichuan.”
"Brother Lu, you're too polite. You and I are kindred spirits. There's no need to say such words!" Xu Zhutao said.”
Dalu Wei said," I, Old Lu, am speaking the truth. Sigh, with my martial arts skills, it is indeed difficult for me to gain a foothold in the martial arts world. Even the few heroines are far behind me. Oh right, may I know which sect you are from?"”
Xu Zhutao scratched his head and said," This…My master has strictly ordered me not to reveal my sect to anyone when I travel in the martial world. Please forgive me, Brother Lu, Brother You, and Brother Zou!"”
Zou Bafang said," I don't like to hear about forgiving or not forgiving. Since your master has strict orders, who would blame you, brother?" I, Old Zou Cheng, think highly of you and treat you as a friend. I will go up a mountain of knives and go down a sea of fire as long as your brother gives the order. I, Old Zou, will definitely obey!”
Xu Zhutao said," Brother Zou, you are too serious. Both Brother You and Brother Zou are people who value righteousness. Otherwise, they wouldn't have pursued me to receive such favor. My two brothers value friendship and righteousness so much that I, Xu Zhutao, wouldn't dare to underestimate them."”
" Hahaha, if we didn't follow Young Master, we wouldn't have done so much. When we return to Wuchang, we just have to say that we are friends with Young Master Bai Ma. Then, many people will think highly of us!"”
Zou Bafang said," You're right. That day at Linjiang Deity, I didn't believe that you were Young Master Bai Ma at first. I didn't expect to follow you out and have a big fight today. It's so fucking satisfying!"”
"By the way, Brother Lu, what about the ten coachmen you hired?" Xu Zhutao asked. Also, have you been troubled by anyone for being late?”
"I've already paid those coachmen and sent them away," Lu Dawei said. No one made things difficult for us. We told them what happened, and the other party sympathized with our Chengxing Escort Agency. The cloth was shipped by a big cloth merchant in Wuchang, and the box of jewelry was shipped by a jewelry store in Wuchang. The two escorts had already paid the insurance.”As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes and counted three thousand taels before handing it to Xu Zhutao.
"Brother Lu, isn't this too much?" Xu Zhutao counted and said,"I think you should keep it to compensate the families of the victims."”
"Young Master, please accept it!" Lu Dawei said. Young Master not only helped me find the lost dart, but also helped me take revenge. You even went through the trouble to protect the dart all the way here. When you met the four bandits in Sichuan, you saved my life. This small amount of money is really not enough to repay Young Master. These three thousand taels of silver were 1,000 taels for the young masters and 500 taels for each of the four heroines.”
Xu Zhutao accepted it and said,"To tell you the truth, my master only gave me fifty taels of money when I left the mountain to travel in Jianghu. I have just come out of Jianghu, so I really love and hate money. As long as I have silver on me, I won't have to sleep in the mountains or on the street corners.”
When the three of them heard that he only had 50 taels of silver when he left the mountain, they found it unbelievable. Traveling Four Seas shook his head and said,""I thought you came from a wealthy family when I saw you dressed in brocade clothes. Many disciples of aristocratic families in the martial arts world tip the waiter with five or ten taels. I really didn't expect you to have a time when you were short of money.”
Xu Zhutao said," I'm actually an orphan. My master picked me up and brought me up. My master has always been poor. When he left the mountain, he gave me fifty taels, which was already too much. This dress was a gift from my cousin."”
" Young Master," You Four Seas suddenly remembered something." I heard from Master Leng yesterday that you met him when you were your first bodyguard. I wonder which bodyguard agency you were hired by?"”
Xu Zhutao told him about his experience with Peng Zhengyi on the way to the northwest as a bodyguard, but he hid Zhao Yumei's identity.
Lu Dawei said," I've heard a lot about the Horse God Whip, but I haven't met him yet. I heard that he's a generous and heroic person. It's just that the head of the Wuwei Bodyguard Agency, Wu Zhaoyun, is too dishonest!"”
Zou Bafang said angrily," Old Lu is right. This Wu guy is really not a good person. He used a young man who just came out of the pugilistic world to block the disaster for him. If it wasn't for Young Master's strong martial arts, wouldn't he have died in the hands of those Green Forest powerhouses? Pfft, he still has the face to claim his title!"”
Xu Zhutao said," Anyway, I didn't lose anything that time. I didn't want to expose his shortcomings, but I was on good terms with my three brothers. I told them about it quickly. Please don't publicize this matter. My brother Peng Zhengyi is still in Wuwei Bodyguard Agency. I don't want him to look bad."”
"Young Master, you are generous and strict with yourself. It is truly a blessing for the martial arts world."”
The few of them talked and walked. Unknowingly, they had already walked through more than half of Chengdu. At this time, they saw Ding Feng walking back with a few things that looked like pancakes in her hand. She said,"Big Brother Xu, this is very delicious. Try it.”
Xu Zhutao took it and saw that it looked like a pancake, but it was not a pancake. He asked,"Good Feng 'er, what is this called?”As he spoke, he gave three to You, Zou, and Lu.
Ding Feng said," This is called Jundun Guokui, also known as Crispy Guokui. It was invented by Ma Fu and Zhou Lequan, two chefs from Junle Town. This is a famous specialty snack in Sichuan. Hurry up and try it!"”
Xu Zhutao took a bite and felt that it was fragrant, crisp, and crispy. He couldn't help but praise,"It's indeed delicious!" You, Zou, and Lu also praised him.
The few of them chatted as they walked. They only returned to the Full Moon Frost Restaurant after they had finished strolling around Chengdu City.
After returning to the restaurant, Xu Zhutao called the four female swordsmen over and gave each of them five hundred taels of silver. He said,"This is the salary for the bodyguards of the few heroes. Also, I've long heard of the beautiful scenery of Qingcheng and want to visit Qingcheng Mountain.”
Ding Ling looked at him in surprise and said,"Do you really just want to go and have fun?"
"Of course. Isn't Qingcheng Mountain fun?" Xu Zhutao said.”
"Hmph, I'm afraid you have bad intentions!" Ding Ling said.”
Ding Feng was also very anxious. She said," Big Brother Xu, why do we have to go to Qingcheng? If we want to play, we can go to Mount Emei. Mount Emei is not far!”
"Why don't the two of you want to go to Qingcheng?" Shangguan Wanqian asked in confusion. Qingcheng Mountain is not only beautiful, but also one of the five great Taoist mountains. It's rare for us to come to Chengdu, so it's a pity not to visit it!”
Ding Ling stomped her feet and said,"We sisters are just going to play. Of course, we don't have any objections."”
"If that's the case, why don't the two of you agree?" Shangguan Wanqian asked. We have nothing to do now."
Ding Feng pouted and said," You're so stupid. Don't you know that the Death Soul Valley is on Qingcheng Mountain?"”
Shangguan Wanqian said," One palace and two valleys are very mysterious. How would I know? Oh, is Eldest Brother sending you home?"”
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We'll decide tomorrow. Rest early!"”
They went back to their rooms to sleep. The next morning, they had breakfast with You, Zou, and Lu. You, Zou, and Lu remembered that they had been away from home for a long time. Moreover, they had other matters to attend to in the Escort Agency, so they took their leave. When they asked Xu Zhutao about his whereabouts, Xu Zhutao only said that since he came to Chengdu, he still wanted to visit Qingcheng Mountain.
