Li Shishi had already fallen asleep. Qiao Feng took off his clothes and took a shower. After all, he had fought for five days and killed a few Liao soldiers. His body was stained with blood. After taking a shower, he gently went to bed.
Unexpectedly, it still woke Li Shishi up." Brother Qiao, you're finally back. Shishi has been waiting for you for five days, but you didn't let Shishi go with you. Shishi has been worried about you these past few days!”Li Shishi said.
"Hehe, I'll be fine. Don't worry!”Qiao Feng said.
"How was the fight? Did you defeat the Liao army?”Li Shishi asked hurriedly.
"It's a draw, so it's considered a win because the Liao army retreated!”Qiao Feng said.
"That's good. Will the Liao Dynasty attack Xiongzhou again?”Li Shishi asked again.
"Not for now. If they want to attack Xiongzhou, they will have to wait for at least half a year. Because their casualties are quite serious, it will take at least half a year to recruit soldiers and horses.”Qiao Feng replied.
"Mm, that's good too. However, we still have to make more preparations. It's best if we can recover the lost land and let those refugees return to their hometown so that they won't have to suffer from hunger anymore!”Li Shishi said affectionately.
"Yeah, I think so too! It's quite late, and I've been quite tired these past few days. Let's go to bed!”Qiao Feng said.
"Yes!" Li Shishi blew out the oil lamp.
As Qiao Feng had been fighting for five days in a row, he was indeed very tired, so he slept for a long time. He didn't wake up until the next day and began to put on his clothes.
"Brother Qiao, where are we going today?”Li Shishi asked.
"Let's return to Beggar's Sect's Luoyang headquarters!" Qiao Feng replied.
"Okay." Li Shishi said.
Then, they packed their luggage, paid the bill with the innkeeper, and rode off together.
They arrived at Handan in the evening and found an inn to stay in.
Li Shishi started to practice the inner force cultivation method that Qiao Feng had taught her.
The next day, they continued their journey. In the evening, they arrived in Luoyang and returned to Qiao Feng's residence at the Beggar's Sect headquarters in Luoyang.
Beggar's Sect was naturally more thrifty. Even the residence of the Sect Leader was only a shack that was twenty feet square.
After putting down the luggage, the Beggar's Sect's subordinates also brought tea in.
"Gang Leader, do you have any other orders?”The subordinate who served the tea asked.
"Arrange a room for this lady!”Qiao Feng said to his subordinate.
"Mm, okay. Miss, please follow me!”the subordinate said to Exemplary Lee.
Li Shishi carried her luggage and followed the subordinate to a room not far from Qiao Feng's residence. Then, she put her luggage in.
The subordinate left first. After a while, he came in with tea and placed it on the table before leaving.
Qiao Feng came to Li Shishi's room and said,""Young Lady, don't worry. As the Sect Master of Beggar's Sect, this Qiao has a lot of complicated matters to handle. There are many people coming in and out of this Qiao's room every day, so I arranged a separate room for Young Lady to hear and hear.”
"Yes, Brother Qiao, this is good. Please come and find Shishi anytime. Shishi will definitely serve Big Brother Qiao well!”Teacher Li said affectionately.
"Let's stick to that time. On the first, sixth, eleventh, sixteenth, twenty-first, and twenty-sixth of each month, you can cultivate and refine Qi the rest of the time.”Qiao Feng said.
"Yes, Shishi remembers!"
"If you need anything, just instruct your subordinates to do it. They will definitely do as you say!”Qiao Feng said to Li Shishi.
"Okay, Brother Qiao!" Li Shishi said.
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Qiao Feng left Exemplary Lee's room after saying that.
He lived a more comfortable life in Beggar's Sect's headquarters. Every day, there were people who brought him water to wash his face, feet, tea, food, cosmetics, and clothes. Every day, Li Shishi could cultivate and refine her Qi quietly. Qiao Feng would come every day on the first, sixth, eleventh, sixteenth, twenty-first, and twenty-sixth of the month.
After about eight months, it was the 20th of March, the third year of Shaosheng. Early in the morning, Qiao Feng came to Li Shishi's room.
"I'm going to ride a horse to Luoyang and contact people to support Xiongzhou Beggar's Sect's Black Tortoise Sect. Do you want to come with me or stay at Beggar's Sect's headquarters?”Qiao Feng asked Li Shishi.
"Of course I'm with Big Brother Qiao. Shishi will go wherever Big Brother Qiao goes.”Li Shishi replied.
"Let's go to Bianliang in Tokyo first. It's the most prosperous place and has the most people. There should be a lot of Beggar's Sect members there. Let's go there and see if we can raise some silver and men to support Beggar's Sect's Black Tortoise Sect.”Qiao Feng said.
"Well, when are we leaving?”Li Shishi asked.
"We're leaving today. Pack your luggage. I'll pick you up later!”Qiao Feng said.
Li Shishi began to pack her luggage. Soon, Qiao Feng came over and the two of them carried their luggage to the stable.
Qiao Feng led the horse out and helped Li Shishi onto it. After putting down the luggage, they rode on the horse and galloped towards Bianliang, Tokyo.
In the evening, they arrived at Bianliang in Tokyo and checked into the inn where Qiao Feng used to stay.
Li Shishi began to cultivate and refine Qi. She had already consumed the 100 pills she had bought.
Qiao Feng fell asleep early.
Beggar's Sect did not have a branch in Bianliang, Tokyo. However, there were two branches in Bianliang, namely the Daren Branch and the Dayi Branch.
Early the next morning, Qiao Feng brought Li Shishi to the Daren Branch in the north of Bianliang City. They met the Branch Leader, Wang Shouzhi.
"Brother Shouzhi, Beggar's Sect's Black Turtle Tribe is in a tight spot now. Can you get some silver and men to support Black Turtle Tribe?”Qiao Feng asked Wang Shouzhi.
"Gang Leader Qiao, of course. How much do you want?”Wang Shouzhi asked.
"How about 100,000 taels of silver and 1,000 people?”Qiao Feng asked.
"No problem, but it will take a month to raise the funds.”Wang Shouzhi replied.
"Alright, Brother Shou Zhi, you can start to gather the money now. After you've gathered the money, send the silver to the Black Tortoise Sect of Beggar's Sect in Xiongzhou through the escort agency. 1,000 people will report to the Black Tortoise Sect of Beggar's Sect. Chief Ma will arrange for their food, clothing, and accommodation.”
He also visited the Dayi branch in the south of Bianliang City. Kang Renxin, the branch leader of the Dayi branch, also expressed his support. Within two months, the silver and troops would be ready.
After visiting the two branches, Qiao Feng was very satisfied and returned to the inn with Teacher Li.
When they returned to the inn, Exemplary Lee brewed some tea.
"Brother Qiao, today is March 21st!”Li Shishi said.
"Yes, alright!" Qiao Feng said.
It was already 11 o'clock.
"Where are we going tomorrow?" Li Shishi asked.
"Go to Xiangyang!" Qiao Feng replied.
"Yes, alright." Li Shishi said.
"Xiangyang is the former residence of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. There are many scenic spots and historical sites there. Let you broaden your horizons!”Qiao Feng said to Li Shishi.
"Well, that's great!" Teacher Li said happily.
"Let's turn off the lights and sleep!" Qiao Feng said.
"Yes, alright!" Li Shishi blew out the oil lamp.
