Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 80 The Light of Righteousness
When the boat arrived in Dezhou, the two brothers of Jinyiwei said goodbye to Ou Zanghua, and without waiting for the boat to dock, they used their superb lightness skills to get off the boat.

Then a lucky ship owner is randomly drawn, and a badge is displayed: Your ship has been requisitioned by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, sail to the capital as soon as possible!

Ou Zanghua stood at the bow, watching the Jinyiwei's series of operations, and couldn't help but remind them: "You two, remember to pay!"

It’s good enough that the Jinyiwei don’t charge for their work, but you still want them to pay?

But he saw Ou Zanghua staring at this side with burning eyes, and Lu Fang standing behind Ou Zanghua with indifferent eyes.

The two of them, one bright and one dark, inexplicably gave people a heart-pounding feeling.

One of them came to his senses and immediately took out a silver ingot, threw it to the boat owner and said, "This is the boat rental fee."

The ship owner was stunned and quickly bowed to thank the two gentlemen.

When Ou Zanghua saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Jinyiwei are still quite law-abiding!"

"Not bad. We didn't lose face for the factory guards." Lu Fang nodded gently.

Ou Zanghua was startled, turned around and looked at Lu Fang and asked, "Empress Lu, you walk without making any sound?"

"I walked noisily, but the shouting at the dock was too loud, so Lord Ou didn't notice me approaching." Lu Fang smiled and explained calmly.

"So that's how it is. Envoy Lu wants to get off the boat and take a walk?" Ou Zanghua nodded, but did not ask any further questions and changed the subject.

"I grew up in the palace, and I'm not used to such a crowded scene." Lu Fang shook his head and rejected Ou Zanghua's proposal.

"Okay, I'll bring you some food." Ou Zanghua did not force it. After leaving these words, he took Qu Feiyan off the boat.

Lu Fang was stunned at first, then smiled and shook his head.

The last time Ou Zanghua and his party came to Texas was the last time they ate delicious roast chicken here, and this time they planned to buy a few more.

It was winter at the time, the Grand Canal was frozen and ships could not pass through it, and Dezhou also looked rather bleak.

Today, the Grand Canal has been reopened, ships are traveling back and forth, people are rushing around, and the whole city is full of vitality.

The two found the same restaurant as last time, ordered the same dishes and wine, and sat by the window. While drinking and eating meat, they listened to the people around them discussing various topics.

What Ou Zanghua didn't expect was that he was the person most discussed by the people in the underworld:
"I told you that when Mr. Ou went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he had a meal at this restaurant, and I even met him once."

"So, what does Mr. Ou look like?"

"He is nine feet tall, with a broad back and strong waist, and is as strong as a pillar. He has a handsome face and a dignified bearing. He can be said to be a representative of a person with a poetic and scholarly temperament!"

Ou Zanghua sat aside, listening to the description, and his mind automatically imagined Nezha from "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes".
What made him speechless was that the listeners actually nodded one after another, thinking that this was what the Tanhua scholar should look like.

Then, he started to brag about his glorious achievements.
What is this? He killed more than 20 demons with one sword.

What about killing four yellow-robed elders of the Demon Sect and saving more than 30 homeless poor women?

What helped the four great families in Cangzhou to defeat the bandit army?
After hearing what they said, Ou Zanghua felt that he had become very glorious and righteous.

At this time, a fellow drinker holding a knife, with his neck red, exclaimed: "Sure enough, Mr. Ou is the light of the righteousness of the martial arts world! If I could get to know him, it would be a great relief!"

After hearing this, the others also showed longing expressions.

Seeing this, Ou Zanghua decisively called the waiter, asked him to pack up some delicious food and a pot of good wine, and then left with Qu Feiyan.

Qu Feiyan approached Ou Zanghua and asked with a smile, "Sir, why don't you introduce yourself?"

"I'm not in the mood to float around with a drunkard from a restaurant. It's very uncomfortable to ride a boat drunk." Ou Zanghua shook his head and said with some fear.

"Why did you bring a pot of wine?"

"For Qu Bo and Lu Neishi." The two chatted as they walked through the crowd towards the boat.

After presenting the two with delicious food and fine wine, Ou Zanghua returned to his room, took out the manuscript from the box and began to proofread it.

Time flies. After passing Liaocheng and Jining, we stopped at Yaowan Wharf in Xuzhou, which is surrounded by water on three sides.

Ou Zanghua and Qu Feiyan got off the boat again. He had another investment here and the returns should be good.

But when he arrived at the Xiang family compound, Ou Zanghua was a little confused when he saw the dusty house.

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan immediately ran to a grain store on the street to inquire about the situation.

After a while, she came back with a cold expression, looked at Ou Zanghua and said, "The guys over there said that after Mr. Xiang married his eldest son, he separated from his eldest son. Then he asked his second son Xiang Zhen to follow Mr. Ling to perform in Bangzi Opera, and only the third son stayed with him."

"One night in March, a fire broke out in the Xiang family compound. Although the fire was put out, the Xiang family was gone. People on the street said that they were burned to ashes."

"Do you think this is credible?" Ou Zanghua asked calmly, looking at the gate.

"It's not credible, sir. Why don't I go in and take a look?" Qu Feiyan shook her head and said.

"It's safer to go in together."

As he spoke, Ou Zanghua grabbed Qu Feiyan's collar with one hand, and led her to perform Qinggong, stepping directly over the wall and entering.

Entering the courtyard, Ou Zanghua felt sad when he saw that the courtyard, which was once full of guests, was now only left with some ruins.

At this time, Qu Feiyan noticed a mark on a pillar. She walked over and wiped off the dust, revealing a mark with a moon in a circle.

Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Ou Zanghua and said, "Sir, this was done by the Sun Moon Divine Cult. This is their unique mark."

"The Sun and Moon Cult is truly lawless!" Ou Zanghua closed his eyes, mourned for the dead of the Xiang family for a while, then turned and walked out.

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan hurriedly caught up.

The two men climbed out of the wall again, and when they landed, they saw an old man with a cane approaching them at a very fast speed.

Ou Zanghua protected Qu Feiyan behind him and was about to draw his sword when the old man suddenly slid down to his knees and said, "Master Ou, it is an honor to see you again!"

As he spoke, he took off his hood and revealed the Eight-Armed Flying Knight, Xiang Xun.

"You, you're not dead? No, you get up first."

Ou Zanghua’s eyes widened. Didn’t his silence just now have been in vain?
"Since Lord Ou is concerned about me, I dare not die." Xiang Xun stood up with a smile, looking in good spirits.

"Won't you explain it?" Ou Zanghua asked with some confusion.

"It's a long story." Xiang Xun began to tell the story slowly.

It turned out that after Ou Zanghua killed Yan Sanxing, Xiang Xun had been worried about being retaliated by the Demon Cult, so he separated his eldest son's family and asked Ling Da to take his second son to travel the world.

When everything was arranged and Xiang Xun was about to die heroically, he received the news that Ou Zanghua had passed the examination and became a tribute student.

Then he didn't want to die anymore. Coincidentally, his third son found the mark of the Sun and Moon Sect on the pillar in his home, which meant that the people of the Sun and Moon Sect had come and asked them to die obediently.

Xiang Xun gritted his teeth, set his own house on fire, and then hid in the home of a close friend through a secret passage left many years ago.

He had been hiding until today, when he learned that a handsome man with a pretty maid had come to his old home, and he ventured over to check out the situation.

"You..." Ou Zanghua couldn't help laughing and gave Xiang Xun a thumbs up: "You are really a thief who is still alive!"

"I stole a few months of life, and it was worth it to see Lord Ou again!"

　Six updates!
