Chapter 62: The Seven Monsters Track Down the Beggars' Sect and Arrive at Zhongdu (Please Subscribe)
Thanks to the Huashan Sword Contest, the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong has a great reputation in the martial arts world. Because he has been leading the Beggars' Sect to fight against the Jin people, he is highly respected by both the black and white worlds. But it is also because of this that the Beggars' Sect has firmly sat on the throne of the largest sect in the martial arts world under his leadership.

When people mention the Beggars' Sect, they always admire them for protecting the country and the people, and for their chivalrous spirit, which is very similar to that of Hong Qigong.

Zhu Cong didn't expect that they had just set foot in the Central Plains and they would encounter such a thing. Sha Tongtian was fine, but it was no small matter when it involved the Beggars' Sect. He didn't believe it at first, but after interrogating more than a dozen people, most of them gave the same story, which forced him to believe it.

For a moment, she couldn't make up her mind, so she had to go out and discuss with the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, "Jing'er, keep an eye on them." These are important witnesses, and nothing can go wrong.

On the street, Ke Zhen'e was transferring his internal energy to Zhang Asheng. Sha Tongtian's palm force was so strong that it broke several of his bones. If it weren't for his horizontal training kung fu, he might have died by now. Even so, his situation was still not optimistic.

Sha Tongtian's true energy kept running wild in his body, and his own true energy was also dispersed. He was unable to resist, and Ke Zhen'e could only suppress it forcibly, but the effect was minimal, because it could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Asheng's face was gloomy and his breath was weak, showing no sign of improvement. However, Ke Zhen'e was sweating profusely and his true energy was almost exhausted. The harder he tried to suppress it, the less effective it became.

Sensing that the situation was not good, Han Xiaoying stopped her sadness and asked Su Ming for help, "Mr. Su, please help me. If you need me in the future, we, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, will never refuse."

Su Ming did not refuse and said, "Miss Han, you are too polite. If Brother Zhang kills this man, it will be regarded as getting rid of a scourge for the martial arts world. Even if you didn't say it, I would help." To him, it was just a favor.

He had indirectly saved his life more than ten years ago. A living Zhang Asheng is more useful than a dead one. Su Ming expects him to bring more plot changes.

Su Ming took a step forward and came in front of Zhang Asheng. His skills began to operate naturally. The energy of heaven and earth continuously transformed into pure true energy that flowed in his dantian. He stretched out his hand and pressed on Zhang Asheng's Baihui acupoint.

The powerful true energy poured into Zhang Asheng's body like a trickle, instantly suppressing the chaotic true energy, and then slowly combing the damaged meridians and calming the qi and blood. With the addition of this new force, Ke Zhen'e immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as he was almost drained dry just now.

Seeing that Zhang Asheng's injuries were no longer getting worse, Ke Zhen'e withdrew his hand and silently practiced internal energy to restore his true energy.

The rest of the people also cast grateful glances at Su Ming and stood guard closely to prevent any accidents. There was no one else on the street except them. Even the beggar who had been hiding in the corner and watching had disappeared at some point.

With Su Ming's intervention, the effect of the treatment was immediate. Zhang Asheng's turbulent blood and qi were calmed down, and Sha Tongtian's chaotic true qi was also sorted out and cleared one by one. Su Ming's control over qi was far superior to Ke Zhen'e. In addition, the Minghai Guiyuan Jin itself was created by a Taoist who practiced health preservation, so it still had a little therapeutic effect.

Half an hour later, Su Ming withdrew his hand and let out a long breath, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Brother Zhang's injury has stabilized."

Seeing this scene, everyone was secretly amazed in their hearts, at how profound Mr. Su's internal skills were!

Ke Zhen'e was even more surprised. No one knew better than him how serious Zhang Asheng's injury was. Even if he tried his best, he might not be able to stabilize his injury. But Su Ming did it easily. Even from his steady breathing, it was obvious that he was able to do it with ease.

Ke Zhen'e stood up and bowed to Su Ming in thanks, "Thank you Mr. Su for your help. The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are grateful!"

Su Ming didn't take it seriously and reminded him, "After all, Brother Zhang is Jing'er's master. I can't just sit there and watch. Although his injury has stabilized, he must find a good doctor to treat him as soon as possible, otherwise there will be troubles."

Just when Ke Zhenwu was about to say something, Zhu Cong came back and said urgently, "Brother, something happened!"

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

Zhu Cong looked very serious. "Brother, Jing'er and I have interrogated those dozen people separately. They are all disciples of Sha Tongtian. They usually rob and loot on the Yellow River. A few months ago, Sha Tongtian was summoned by Wanyan Honglie, the King of Zhao of the Jin Dynasty, and was recruited as a guest official."

"Moreover, Sha Tongtian used the Yellow River's water transport to secretly engage in the human trafficking business, and the Beggars' Sect was also involved in this matter."

"impossible!"

"what?"

The other six monsters all stared with their eyes wide open, dumbfounded. Nan Xiren quickly asked, "How could the Beggars' Sect do such a thing? Second brother, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Except for Ke Zhenwu who was blind and couldn't see, everyone else looked at him with doubt, hoping that he had made a mistake.

Zhu Cong shook his head slightly. "I interrogated these people separately. I used the technique of breaking bones. Even if one person lied, it's impossible for all of them to lie. This matter is most likely true."

"However, it is not certain whether it is the Beggars' Sect."

Hearing this, Su Ming did not believe it. The Beggars' Sect is rooted in the beggars at the bottom of society. The poorer they are, the more unscrupulous they act. Hong Qigong travels around the world like a dragon that is hard to find. The Beggars' Sect has branches all over the country. How can he possibly control everyone?

Originally, beggar gangs had the tradition of cutting and mutilating people. Those who dared to act under the banner of the Beggar Gang must have something to rely on. Moreover, the Beggar Gang had already split into two factions, the dirty clothes and the clean clothes. Even Hong Qigong could not suppress the conflict between them. It was normal for the people below to take advantage of the situation.

He turned around and saw that the beggar on the street corner had disappeared. Maybe this matter really had something to do with them.

Ke Zhen'e said immediately, "Yes, maybe someone is doing evil under the banner of the Beggars' Sect. How could a hero like Hong Qigong allow his men to do such evil things?"

"Let's split up into two groups. Fifth brother's injury cannot be delayed. Third brother and seventh sister, you take him to find a doctor for treatment. The rest of us will stay here to investigate this matter. We must get to the bottom of this matter and not let anyone tarnish the reputation of the Beggars' Sect!"

Zhu Cong asked again, "The Jiaxing martial arts competition is coming soon. What if we are delayed?"

Nan Xiren thought for a moment and said, "It's time for Jing'er to be independent. We, as masters, can't always follow him."

At this time, Su Ming also nodded, "Brother Nan is right. He should be allowed to venture into the world of martial arts on his own and see what's out there. Everyone, since you are determined to investigate this matter, let's go our separate ways here."

Zhu Cong was stunned, "Mr. Su is not coming with us?"

"No, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now. When Jing'er comes out, tell him to think twice before doing anything and make plans before taking action."

After saying that, Su Ming clasped his fists towards everyone and said, "Everyone, see you in the arena, see you later!"

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan also returned the greeting, "See you later."

Su Ming mounted his horse and left.

When Guo Jing came out of the tavern, he was a little surprised to learn that Su Ming had left. But when several masters asked him to travel alone, he agreed directly. He could charge on the battlefield, so traveling alone was certainly no problem for him.

Before they left, everyone gave a few more instructions. Nan Xiren looked at him earnestly, "Jing'er, if you meet an opponent you can't defeat, just run away if you can't beat him! Mr. Su left you a message before he left, think twice before you act, and make plans before you act." "Master Qi, Jing'er remembers this."

Zhu Cong was worried that Guo Jing was too young and would insist on being stubborn, so he added, "There is no limit to martial arts. There are always better people. No matter how powerful you are, you can't be invincible. A real man can bend and stretch. If you really encounter danger, you must endure the anger for a while. If you can survive, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. This is not cowardice. If the opponent has more people and you are outnumbered, you can't just act bravely. You must remember this sentence!"

"Don't worry, Master Four, Jing'er understands."

Afterwards, Han Xiaoying bought a carriage in the city, and together with Han Baoju, she took Zhang Asheng south to seek medical treatment. Guo Jing rode the little red horse alone on the road, while Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong and four others stayed in the city to continue investigating the matter.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

After Su Ming separated from the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, he traveled around the territory of the Jin Kingdom, experiencing the unique customs and people of this era. Soon he arrived at Zhongdu. He led his horse and stepped into the city.

At that time, the Jin ruler Wanyan Liang moved all the royal family members to Zhongdu. In order to cut off their retreat, he also completely destroyed the palaces and mansions in the old capital Shangjing Huining Prefecture. The influx of a large number of aristocrats and bureaucrats into Zhongdu led to its prosperity.

This is the future Yanjing.

Zhongdu is the most prosperous and beautiful place in the world today. Even the old capital of Song Dynasty, Bianliang, and the new capital, Lin'an, are inferior to it. After all, it gathers the essence of the Central Plains. Although the Jin Dynasty is in decline, it is still the strongest country in the world. Only a strong country can have the most prosperous capital.

On the long street, peddlers come and go, wooden wheels turn, and horses' hooves sound gently. Merchants from all over the world gather here, and the hawkers' shouts are endless. Many businesses are connected to form an entire street, which is dazzling.

Su Ming walked through the long street and came to an inn, where he stayed and rested for a night.

The west of the city is where the Zhongdu slums are located, where all kinds of people live, and it is also the place where Zhongdu City hides its filth. Where there is light, there is shadow, and even in the most prosperous places, there are dark corners. Today, an uninvited guest arrived here.

The air was filled with a foul and rotten smell, green-headed flies were hovering in the ditches on both sides of the road, and little kids in tattered clothes were naked, competing to see who could fly farther.

Su Ming, dressed in a dark robe, stepped into the street. The dust on the ground did not stain him at all, as if there was an invisible shield on his body that isolated him from the outside world.

As soon as he stepped in here, he was greeted with all kinds of inexplicable looks, greed, indifference, jealousy... It had rained a few days ago, the sun could not shine here, the ground was still a little muddy, and there was no footprint left where he walked.

At the end of the street, there are several dilapidated houses and temples. This is where the beggars in the city live.

At the entrance of the dilapidated temple, beggars were leaning against the wall in groups of three or four, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes. Their faces had lost their original color and appearance. From time to time, they opened their sleepy eyes, grabbed a louse from their arms and put it into their mouths, smacked their lips a few times, and then continued to sleep contentedly.

"Ding dong ding dong!"

The beggars were startled and opened their eyes immediately because it was the sound of copper coins.

There were three copper coins in each of the broken bowls in front of them.

Su Ming stood in front of them, the silver in his hand was dazzling, "I want to see your elder."

The beggars' numb faces quickly became enthusiastic, and they grinned, revealing a few yellow teeth. "Sir, please come this way."

The dilapidated temple was surprisingly clean. On the steps of the main hall, someone was basking in the sun with a bamboo stick in his arms. "Elder, someone is coming."

The man opened his eyes in a daze, and the moment he saw Su Ming, his eyes widened, because he was holding silver in his hand. When he shifted his gaze to Su Ming, he couldn't help but gasp. How could such a person get here?

"No wonder the magpie on the tree was calling today. It turns out that the young master is coming. My name is Li Sanshi. I'm sorry for not coming in person to greet you. Please come in!" The man grabbed the bamboo stick, jumped up, walked forward and said with a flattering smile.

At the same time, the beggars in the yard opened their eyes and grabbed the bamboo sticks around them, and the entrance to the temple was guarded.

Su Ming glanced at him with a half-smile and shook his head, "No, let's talk here. You Beggars' Sect are well-informed. I want to know everything that happened in Prince Zhao's mansion this year. Tell me everything you know."

After saying that, he threw him two ingots of silver.

Li Sanshi caught the silver, took a bite with his teeth, checked it and found it was real, then he smiled happily, "Okay, Erzhu, you come and tell this distinguished guest!"

Half an hour later, Su Ming left the dilapidated temple with satisfaction, and left behind another ingot of silver before leaving.

After he left, the beggars in the temple came up to Li Sanshi, looked at the silver, and their eyes were shining, "This man is really generous, I just want to ask you a question, and I'll give you a few dozen taels of silver."

One beggar licked his lips and said greedily, "He must have more on him. If we can rob him, we will be rich."

Hearing this, Li Sanshi laughed, "Rob him? If it weren't for me, you would all have to lie down today. This man didn't leave a single footprint from the door to here. If it were you, could you do it?"

After saying that, he smiled again, "Hehe, the Zhao Palace is really lively this year, there is fun again, let the brothers keep an eye on it, there will definitely be some fun next."

Some of the beggars didn't believe it and ran out to see what was happening. They were immediately terrified.

……

After returning to the inn, Su Ming ate quickly and returned to his room.

Outside the window, the moon was hanging high in the sky, and the lights in the city were shining, filling the sky with light.

Sure enough, the plot changed again. Because Hua Zheng was pregnant, they arrived in Zhongdu a few months late. Yang Tiexin and his daughter held a martial arts competition to win a marriage partner, and they had a conflict with Yang Kang. Yang Tiexin also met Bao Xiruo as a matter of course. Taoist Master Wang Chuyi of Quanzhen Sect Yuyangzi came forward to resolve the dispute, but was poisoned by Master Lingzhi.

Eventually, they disappeared along with Yang Tiexin and his daughter. Yang Kangxin was unwilling to give up and sent people to search the city. After a month of searching, they still couldn't find them and finally had to give up.
