Zhu Xiuyuan was puzzled.

Seeing his wife crying so sadly, he couldn't bear it, so he stretched out a hand with difficulty, held Dong Shuzhen's face, and said, "My wife, why are you crying? Is everything your fault?"

Dong Shuzhen broke down in tears: "If... I didn't take my husband... to go shopping... I wouldn't... blah blah... Husband blames me..."

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned, it turned out to be for this.

"Help me up." Zhu Xiuyuan struggled to support the ground with both hands, wanting to get up first before speaking.

Dong Shuzhen helped Zhu Xiuyuan while crying. Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, who were frightened, also came to help.

With the support of the three women, Zhu Xiuyuan successfully stood up.

"Madam, I don't blame you. Who could have predicted such a thing? Stop crying."

"But……"

"Okay, okay." Zhu Xiuyuan wiped away the tears on Dong Shuzhen's face with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Their target is me. Even if they don't do it this time, they will do it next time. My husband goes to the yamen every day to be on duty. There are also many opportunities for street officials to do business, and they will always find an opportunity."

Dong Shuzhen cried like a little cat. She sniffed: "Really, but my husband..."

"Okay, let's stop this. Let's see who saved me and who wanted to assassinate me."

When Dong Shuzhen heard this, she immediately reacted.

Yes, it is important to catch the man in black who assassinated Zhu Xiuyuan.

So she slowly stopped crying and followed Zhu Xiuyuan to look at the messy street.

……

The people on the street had already fled far away.

The people setting up the stalls didn't even care about the stalls and completely cleared this section of the street.

Because the people fled in panic and fought with Zhu Xiuyuan's savior and the assassin in black, almost all the stalls on the street were destroyed.

Various goods on the stall, such as porcelain, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, snacks, fruits, etc., were scattered on the ground in a mess after the stall was destroyed.

Lying on the street, there were not only various scattered goods, but also the corpses of assassins in black, scattered all over the place.

The fight continued.

There are only three black-clothed assassins left, fighting with swords.

Seven or eight of the more than ten assassins in black have been killed.

There were four people fighting with the men in black, one was Yan Dashan, and the other three were dressed as beggars. Two beggars were younger, about 40 years old, and one beggar was older, with white hair and beard.

When Zhu Xiuyuan saw the three beggars, his eyes lit up.

Needless to say, the people who saved him at this critical moment must have been these three beggars!
This is a lifesaver!

After going through hell once, Zhu Xiuyuan realized how great his savior was.

They all exude divine light!
No wonder Yan Dashan was so devoted to him.

To be honest, he wanted to thank those three beggars very much now.

This is the grace of life!
But what Zhu Xiuyuan didn't notice was that Dong Shuzhen beside him was watching the fight not far away, with a look of thought on her face from time to time...

Four against three, even a rookie like Zhu Xiuyuan knew that those three assassins in black were going to be doomed.

"Please keep the three righteous men alive!" Yan Dashan shouted while beating him.

Yan Dashan's intention was obvious, that is, to leave him alive so that he could interrogate who was the one who ordered them to assassinate Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Okay!" a beggar responded.

"No, they are taking poison, stop it quickly..."

……

"Hey, these people are all dead soldiers. If they fail in the mission, they will take poison and die. I'm afraid it will be difficult for this little brother to ask them about the behind-the-scenes instructions!"

When the old beggar with white hair and beard saw that the battle was over, he immediately took out a large wine gourd from his waist, pulled out the stopper, and took a sip from the mouth of the gourd.

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, this old beggar has a lot of personality!

Drinking right after a fight...

And just now he could see clearly that the old beggar's kung fu was the best among the three beggars.

Besides, the old beggar is so old.

Zhu Xiuyuan generally believes that the quality of martial arts is linked to age.

Besides, the old beggar has such a personality—

So he must be an expert!

Next, the old beggar did another thing, which made Zhu Xiuyuan firmly believe that he was really an expert.

I saw the old beggar finish a sip of wine and then take out a chicken leg from a pocket. The chicken leg was big, fat, golden and shiny, and it made people appetite at first sight.

The old beggar ignored everyone's weird looks and eagerly took a bite of the chicken drumstick.

The delicious and tender chicken entered the mouth, and the old beggar's thin old face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction.

The old beggar just ate and drank, while the two slightly younger beggars searched around for the clothes of the assassin in black.

Yan Dashan had already seen that Zhu Xiuyuan was fine, so he did not come over immediately. Instead, he cupped his fists and saluted the old beggar, bowed and said, "Thank you, old man, for your generous action..."

"Eh!"

The old beggar waved his hand and called to the mountain. With his mouth full of wine and meat, he said in a straight voice: "No, no, no!"

Yan Dashan was a serious and upright man, and he handed over his hand again and said: "If the old-timers didn't take action...".

In Yan Dashan's opinion, if this old beggar hadn't acted righteously, then his benefactor Zhu Xiuyuan would not have been able to escape this disaster!
Zhu Xiuyuan was not only the life-saving benefactor of Yan Dashan, but also the great benefactor of their tea garden in Fuliang County!

Just two days ago, Zhu Xiuyuan pushed the yamen to build the "Dong Gong Scale" to ensure that tea farmers would be able to sell tea at a reasonable price.They also sent state soldiers to guard the tea garden intersection to support the tea farmers...

This kindness is great!

Yan Dashan's mother, Po Yan, once asked him to kneel down and swear an oath in front of the memorial tablets of his ancestors, that he would follow Zhu Xiuyuan and protect his safety...

However, within two days, Engong was almost killed by a group of black-clothed assassins!
If the benefactor was really killed, then Yan Dashan would have to be beaten to death by his mother Yan Po.

The old beggar finished chewing a mouthful of the chicken leg, and took another mouthful from the gourd. While filling the wine, he took a sideways glance at Yan Dashan.

Yan Dashan still bowed and saluted, and kept talking.

After the old beggar took a sip of wine, he quickly plugged the gourd and jumped to escape from Yan Dashan.

Unexpectedly, the direction in which the old beggar fled was facing Zhu Xiuyuan and the others, who had already walked over.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked happy, this old beggar was not only his life benefactor, but also an expert!
Zhu Xiuyuan has always admired all kinds of experts!
However, when Zhu Xiuyuan was about to say hello, he saw the old beggar's expression change, his steps turn around, and he wanted to escape in another direction.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked slightly startled, what's going on?
Just when Zhu Xiuyuan was confused, he heard Dong Shuzhen beside him shout in surprise: "Master!" As soon as Dong Shuzhen called out the word "Master", the old beggar's relatively thin body actually trembled slightly. Then, the old beggar The beggar stopped trying to escape, turned around, waved his hands, and said: "You have recognized the wrong person, I am not your master!"

"Master!"

Dong Shuzhen ignored the old beggar's denial.

Zhu Xiuyuan jumped out from the side with a whoosh, and shouted happily: "Master, have you finally come to see my disciple? I am so happy!"

Dong Shuzhen was really happy, even a little too happy.

She rushed over with a whoosh, with her arms around the old beggar's waist, her face was so excited that she ignored the old beggar's dirty clothes.

"Master, you have been away for so long. I miss you so much... Master, why are you coming to see my apprentice now? When you left, didn't you say you would come to see your apprentice tomorrow..."

Dong Shuzhen was so excited. Seeing this old beggar was like seeing an old friend reunited after a long absence.

Zhu Xiuyuan was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

Master? !
Is this old beggar Dong Shuzhen’s master?
Dong Shuzhen's master is this old beggar?
Zhu Xiuyuan remembered that when he was kidnapped by Yan Dashan and taken to Fuliang County, and later "rescued" by Dong Shuzhen and the others, Dong Shuzhen once told him a past story in the tea garden manor -

She once worshiped an old beggar with extremely high martial arts skills as her teacher!
According to Dong Shuzhen, her master is an expert, and even Dong Cheng admires the old beggar very much!

Zhu Xiuyuan was still excited at that time. If there was such an expert who personally guided him to exercise...hehe, his body bones might not be so weak.

Zhu Xiuyuan's requirements are not high, and he doesn't need to reach the level of fighting with others. It is enough for him to strengthen his body, and a little bit of fisting and embroidering his legs...

However, Zhu Xiuyuan's hopes were ruthlessly dashed.

Because Dong Shuzhen doesn’t know where her master has gone...

Unexpectedly, another village will see a bright future. Zhu Xiuyuan had already forgotten about this matter, but unexpectedly, Dong Shuzhen's master appeared on his own.

Hope rekindled in Zhu Xiuyuan's heart, he chuckled, rubbed his hands and moved closer.

"Madam, is this old...senior your master?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked with a smile.

The old beggar was hugged around the waist by Dong Shuzhen, and he...he actually had a look of disgust on his face!
The old beggar's whole body seemed to be stiff, and his hands stretched out innocently.

In one hand, he held a huge wine gourd, and in the other hand, he held a half-eaten chicken leg.

The upper body is also leaned back.

On an old face, the four characters "Dislike" and "Help" are clearly written!
Dong Shuzhen hugged the old beggar's waist excitedly, but the old beggar had "extremely important" things in both hands.

He couldn't free his hands and pushed Dong Shuzhen away, so he could only respond to Dong Shuzhen with a look of despair.

"Okay, old beggar, I miss you too..."

"Nonsense, old beggar, did I ever say, 'I'll come back to see you tomorrow'..."

"Hey, little Zhen'er, let go of the old beggar quickly. I haven't had a bath in the old beggar for more than a year. He stinks..."

Although the old beggar said that his clothes were dirty, he hadn't bathed for more than a year, and his body was full of lice, Dong Shuzhen didn't let go.

And took the opportunity to invite the old beggar to take a bath in Dong Mansion...

Although Dong Shuzhen was an official lady who loved cleanliness and hygiene, she had great respect for the old beggar master.

Thinking about how she yearned for the outside world when she was young.However, her father would not let her step out of the house at all.

Later, the old beggar master came and taught her kung fu and took her out to play.

Dong Shuzhen's favorite thing is to go to the mountains to play. The master teaches her to pick wild fruits, hunt rabbits, roast rabbit meat, and drink wine...

In Dong Shuzhen's entire childhood, that period was the happiest.

Dong Shuzhen regarded the old beggar master as her grandfather.

Now that she finally saw her master again, she was so excited that she didn't care whether his clothes were dirty or not.

However, the old beggar was helpless.

He held the wine gourd in one hand and the chicken leg in the other, and said to throw away the wine gourd or chicken leg and free up his hand to push Dong Shuzhen away, but he was reluctant.

It wasn't until Zhu Xiuyuan came over and asked those words that the old beggar found his savior.

The old beggar's loveless face looked serious for a moment, then he looked at Zhu Xiuyuan, his eyes suddenly bulged, and he asked loudly: "Are you Xiao Zhen'er's husband?"

"Old senior, that's right!" Zhu Xiuyuan spared his head.

"Your name is Zhu Xiuyuan? So what method of preventing and controlling the plague came from you?" the old beggar asked again.

"Well... what the old man said is right." Zhu Xiuyuan wanted to be humble, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed his mind.

"Ha ha!"

The old beggar laughed loudly, his voice was like a bell, looked Zhu Xiuyuan up and down carefully, and praised: "Yes, the handsome young man is actually a pair with Xiao Zhen'er..."

"Old senior..."

"Bless you, boy, since you are Xiao Zhen'er's husband..." The old beggar slightly lowered his head and glanced at Dong Shuzhen, and said with a helpless smile: "Get your wife away as soon as possible."

As the old beggar spoke, he looked at the wine gourd and the half-eaten chicken leg in his hand, and licked his mouth.

He hasn't finished eating yet!

"Master!"

Dong Shuzhen was slightly dissatisfied, why did Master always want to drive her away?

Zhu Xiuyuan blinked, taking in the old beggar's expression and movements.

This old beggar... turned out to be a complete foodie and drunkard!
"Madam, come here quickly. If you are like this...how can Master drink wine and eat meat? Madam..."

Zhu Xiuyuan pulled Dong Shuzhen over as instructed.

When Dong Shuzhen heard what Zhu Xiuyuan said, she thought it made sense, so she was pulled over by Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Little slicker!" The old beggar glanced sideways at Zhu Xiuyuan, couldn't wait to take a big sip of wine, and took a big bite of chicken drumsticks...

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly.

Just now, he followed Dong Shuzhen's call, his little thought of calling the old beggar "Master", and his observation of the old beggar's habit of drinking and eating, etc., were actually seen through by the old beggar at a glance.

Zhu Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed.

However, this old beggar is really a master!
In Zhu Xiuyuan's opinion, the weirder the behavior, the higher the ability!

Therefore, it was impossible for Zhu Xiuyuan to miss this opportunity.

Try to let the old beggar teach him some tricks. He can practice when he has nothing to do, and it can also strengthen his body.

Just as Zhu Xiuyuan was thinking hard about how he could keep the old beggar alive.

The other two slightly younger beggars had already searched all the assassins in black. They came back and clasped their fists at the old beggar and said: "Gang leader, there is nothing found. The subordinates cannot determine their identities!"
