Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 218: Empty Promises on the Frontier [Happy New Year's Eve]

There are many taverns outside Wuxi city and along the ancient roads.

When Qiao Feng and Gu Qing first met, he couldn't help but take Gu Qing to a tavern, wanting to treat Gu Qing to a couple of drinks and make friends with Gu Qing.

After drinking these two bowls of wine, Qiao Feng felt calm and heroic. He felt that even Murong Fu was not inferior to Gu Qing. If the situation really developed to the point where a fierce fight was necessary, Qiao Feng would have a good fight with Murong Fu.

"Boss Qiao."

After drinking a few bowls of wine, Gu Qing started talking, saying, "Did the Beggars' Sect's deputy leader, Ma Dayuan, die from the throat-locking and grappling technique?"

Qiao Feng nodded and said, "This is the unique martial art of the Ma family." Before he finished speaking, Qiao Feng's eyes focused, and he saw Gu Qing condensing a technique with one hand, which was a throat-locking and grappling technique.

"Go!"

Gu Qing used the throat-locking technique and attacked Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing pushed it away with her hand, and Gu Qing's move suddenly turned back and hit her neck.

"Use his way and give back to him."

Qiao Feng had practiced martial arts since he was young. After joining the Beggars' Sect, he was taught carefully by Wang Jiantong. He completed the three major tests and performed seven great merits for the Beggars' Sect. He decided major events, solved major doubts, and remained calm in the face of danger. Seeing Gu Qing's skills, Mu Wanqing counterattacked. After thinking for a while, she said, "Brother Gu means that there are more than one person who can perform the throat-locking and grappling technique, and there are more than one person who can use the same method to return the favor."

The Beggars' Sect came to challenge Gusu Murong with only this one martial arts move, which was a bit below par.

Gu Qing nodded and said, "After I mastered my skills, I also traveled around the martial arts world, explored the mysteries, and unearthed many secrets of the martial arts world. Some of them are related to you, Boss Qiao."

Qiao Feng was greatly surprised and put down his wine bowl.

"In the hands of Deputy Leader Ma of the Beggars' Sect, there is a secret letter from Wang Jiantong. The content of the letter is that if Qiao Feng shows any signs of change, the Deputy Leader, the Elders who teach skills, the Elders who enforce the law, and all the elders of the Beggars' Sect must unite to attack him. They can poison him or assassinate him."

Gu Qing told the secret letter.

"Nonsense!"

Qiao Feng was furious and smashed the table with his hand. Wang Jiantong was very caring towards Qiao Feng, like a loving father. Gu Qing's words were an insult to Wang Jiantong's feelings for Qiao Feng.

Gu Qing was calm and composed, looking at Qiao Feng quietly.

Qiao Feng met Gu Qing's gaze, gradually calmed down, and said with his hands down, "If you have anything else, just tell me everything."

“The story probably started thirty years ago.”

Gu Qing narrated calmly, saying, "Thirty years ago, there was a piece of news in the martial arts world that a large number of Khitan warriors wanted to attack the Shaolin Sutra Library and publish the Shaolin Temple's martial arts in Khitan so that everyone could learn it. In this way, everyone in Khitan would surely become strong, and the Song Dynasty would be unable to stop them."

"The warriors of the Central Plains got the news and went there at night, killing 19 Khitan warriors. After the battle, the warriors of the Central Plains felt that the Khitan warriors were vulnerable. While they were hesitating, a couple suddenly came with a child in their arms. The Khitan man questioned them loudly, but they could not communicate with each other. A few impulsive warriors from the Central Plains immediately stepped forward to fight, but the Khitan man knocked them to the ground in just three moves."

"When these Central Plains warriors saw that this man was very skilled in martial arts, they immediately surrounded and killed him. The Khitan man just snatched the weapon and did not hurt him. It was not until the Central Plains warrior killed his wife that he immediately became murderous. The Khitan warrior immediately killed him..."

Gu Qing gave a brief account of the battle at Yanmen Pass.

Qiao Feng listened quietly until he heard that the leader, Wang Jiantong, Master Zhiguang had placed the baby in foster care at the foot of Mount Shaoshi. His expression became increasingly gloomy.

"Because of what happened back then, Shaolin Temple and the Beggars' Sect felt guilty about you, so Shaolin Temple taught you well and taught you martial arts in private. After you joined the Beggars' Sect, the Beggars' Sect was also generous in teaching you martial arts. However, when your prestige was growing and you were a great hero, and you were about to become the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Wang Jiantong was hesitant."

Gu Qing told Qiao Feng the secret of learning martial arts in Shaolin Temple. Qiao Feng believed it about 70% of the time. Thinking about the difficulties he faced in becoming the leader of the Beggars' Sect, he suddenly felt very confused.

Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling suddenly heard this secret of the martial arts world and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The Central Plains warriors and the Khitans are killing each other. What is there to feel guilty about?"

Qiao Feng asked calmly.

"I once went to Mount Tiantai and read your father's suicide note. His surname was Xiao, and his name was Xiao Yuanshan. His son was called Feng'er. His master was a Han Chinese, so Xiao Yuanshan vowed not to be an enemy of the Han Chinese. Back then, Xiao Yuanshan took your mother to your grandmother's house. His wife died tragically, and he didn't want to live in disgrace..."

Gu Qing said: "The leader and Gang Leader Wang kept your name, but your parents are really innocent."

Qiao Feng took a deep breath. He suddenly heard such earth-shattering news. Even though he was calm, his heart was in turmoil for a moment.

The current gang leader Wang has passed away, and there are only two people in the world who know the whole story, one is the leader and the other is Master Zhiguang.

"Who is the leader?"

Qiao Feng asked.

Gu Qing did not answer for the moment, but continued: "In fact, your father's death was a conspiracy."

There was a divine light in Qiao Feng's eyes, and he looked awe-inspiring.

"Your father was the instructor of the Liao army. He was a peace advocate and did not want the Khitan and Song to go to war. He advocated reconciliation with the Song. If such a person is alive, it will be a good thing for the people of both countries. It's just that this matter has annoyed the other person."

Gu Qing said: "Back then, Shaolin Temple got the news and rushed thousands of miles to Yanmen Pass to kill the Khitans. Shaolin Temple and Wang Jiantong certainly killed the wrong people, but for the person who spread the news, it was the right thing to kill."

Qiao Feng bowed and asked, "Who is the one who delivered the message?"

Gu Qing glanced at A-Bi's little face, then said, "Gusu Murong Bo!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Abi stood up in shock.

She was eating the melon here for a long time and ended up eating herself.

"The Gusu Murong family is the descendant of the Yan royal family. It has been hundreds of years since then, and every generation has been dreaming of becoming the emperor. As long as your father dies, the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty will start fighting, and the Murong family will seize the opportunity to rise up."

When Gu Qing said this, he looked at Wang Yuyan and A Bi and said, "I have already done a thorough investigation at the Murong family. You don't have to deny it."

A-Bi was silent. The Murong family did want to be the emperor, but A-Bi was really unaware of what happened back then.

Qiao Feng clenched his fists.

"Then you dug out my uncle's coffin and said you wanted to revive him..."

Wang Yuyan thought about this.

Gu Qing resurrected Mu Wanqing's parents and her father in front of her one after another, and in the final analysis, it was because the people were not dead.

Gu Qing nodded and said, "In fact, I opened the coffin that night. I wanted to see what the conspirator left behind. I didn't expect it to be just an empty coffin. That's why I wanted to resurrect your uncle."

Wang Yuyan nodded, feeling that this was a good match.

"Murong Bo is not dead?"

Qiao Feng asked.

"do not know."

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "Originally I wanted to carry his coffin and parade it around the martial arts world to see if I could lure him out, but someone was willing to get hurt in order to crush Murong Bo's coffin to dust... After all, my investigation into the Murong family was not that in-depth, and I don't know if Murong Bo was too wicked during his lifetime, so he set up a fake tomb, fearing that someone would expose him."

Gu Qing initially "suspected" that Murong Bo was not dead, and now "suspects" that Murong Bo is setting up a suspicious tomb, fearing that his enemies will come to visit.

In short, Gu Qing had no doubt that Yan Longyuan was Murong Bo, and he overturned the coffin to cover up his fake death.

When A-Bi heard this, she naturally defended Murong Bo and retorted, "My master is very kind. If we talk about the evil person in this world, you are the first!" Gu Qing smiled. A-Bi spoke in a soft Wu dialect and acted like a spoiled child even when she was angry.

"I seem to have strayed off topic."

Gu Qing suddenly changed the subject and said, "Do you know who Ma Dayuan's wife is?"

Qiao Feng looked at Gu Qing. Gu Qing had said too much today. There was no physical evidence for the right and wrong involved, but Qiao Feng already vaguely believed that it was probably true. Now that Gu Qing mentioned Kang Min, Qiao Feng looked sideways in thought and did not have much impression of her.

Gu Qing laughed loudly, looked at Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Ling and said, "Ma Dayuan's wife Kang Min is Prince Duan's woman!"

"Well……"

Wang Yuyan covered her forehead lightly, Mu Wanqing frowned, and Zhong Ling frowned.

Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling all knew about Gu Qing's ability to explore the mysteries in this area.

"It was because I discovered this about Kang Min that I was able to find out your identities."

Gu Qing said to Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling.

Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing both nodded, and their feelings were aligned again.

"Who is Lord Duan?"

A-Bi was confused.

"Prince Duan's women are all powerful characters."

Gu Qing said, "Wang Jiantong left a secret letter in Ma Dayuan's hands. Kang Min, as his wife, found the letter. It seems that Kang Min was jealous because Qiao Feng didn't look at her straight in the eye. She slept with Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing, and Elder Xu, just to bring you down."

Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing, and Elder Xu.

Qiao Feng shook his head, saying it was ridiculous, and said, "Elder Xu is already in his eighties or nineties."

"People grow old but their hearts never grow old."

Gu Qing smiled.

Qiao Feng shook his head again and said, "Why does Madam Ma hate me? I have never liked playing with girls since I was a child."

By the time you discover the girl's good points, Ah Zhu has sent it.

Gu Qing spread his hands and said, "Anyway, this is the situation. In this conference, it seems that the Beggars' Sect wants to embarrass Southern Murong, but in fact, the Beggars' Sect wants to deal with Northern Qiao Feng. You should be careful when you go to the conference."

Qiao Feng was in a state of confusion. Over the years, he had followed the Beggars' Sect to fight against the Liao people, and even fought side by side with Yang Laoling, killing many Khitans. Now, he was suddenly pointed out to be a Khitan, which made Qiao Feng feel confused.

"I will be careful."

As Qiao Feng was speaking, he secretly asked himself, if he was really a Khitan, would he still want to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect?
"If everything is true."

Qiao Feng lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Then after I have avenged myself, I will immediately go outside the Great Wall to herd cattle and sheep, and never come back."

Did you tell me?
Gu Qing's ears twitched slightly. "If I don't let you go outside the Great Wall to herd cattle and sheep, does that count as an empty promise?"

Gu Qing likes Qiao Feng more, but since Ma Dayuan is already dead, many people have seen the letters about Qiao Feng's life experience, and it is only a matter of time before it is exposed. It would be better for Gu Qing to tell Qiao Feng everything he should know in advance to prevent him from having such great skills but wandering around in the martial arts world.

Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling and A-Bi followed Gu Qing and headed towards the pavilion outside Wuxi City.

"Qiao Feng."

Gu Qing suddenly shouted.

Qiao Feng paused slightly.

"I have always been curious, what kind of charm does the Song Dynasty have that allows a bunch of beggars like you to defend your country every day?"

Gu Qing asked.

It's literally a beacon.

Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, then said, "As a Song citizen, I must do my best for my country."

Fine.

Gu Qing nodded and said nothing more.

This is the place where the Beggars' Sect and Gusu Murong agreed to meet.

When everyone arrived here, the martial arts people here had already split into two groups. One side was mainly composed of people from the Beggars' Sect, and the other side was Murong Fu and the people from Southern Martial Arts Forest. During this battle, Feng Bo'e had already started fighting with the elders of the Beggars' Sect.

When Qiao Feng arrived at this place, he fixed his gaze on the man in the center of the Southern Martial Arts World, who was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, elegant and handsome. Qiao Feng was almost certain that this was Nan Murong.

Before coming to Wuxi, Qiao Feng had already met Murong family's Feng Bo'e and Gong Ye Qian. He felt that Murong family's generals were good and thought Murong Fu was also a hero. However, after hearing Gu Qing's words, Qiao Feng had another filter for Murong family.

"Master."

A Bi hurried to Murong Fu's side, wanting to quickly tell him the news she heard from Gu Qing.

"Snapped!"

With a big step, Qiao Feng shook off A Bi, jumped forward and said, "Mr. Murong, I have long heard of your name!" While speaking, he moved closer to Murong Fu.

When hearing that Murong Fu and Gu Qing were similar in martial arts, Qiao Feng felt pressured. However, after hearing what Gu Qing said about his life experience, Qiao Feng felt hatred towards Murong's family... As a man of the world, Qiao Feng would kill the entire family if he met his enemy!
On the other hand, although Qiao Feng did not know the truth about his life experience, he had always worked for the Song Dynasty, which was true. Even if personal grudges were put aside, the fact that the Murong family had been planning a rebellion was enough for Qiao Feng to take action, just as if he was standing his last shift for the Beggars' Sect!

Even though Murong Fu's martial arts are superb, Qiao Feng still wants to fight him!
"Eat my slap!"

Qiao Feng was ten feet away and thrust out his palm with awe.

No one in the world could extend the power of a palm more than ten feet away. Murong Fu watched intently and saw Qiao Feng flying closer and raising another palm into the air. After the power of these two palms was combined, it pushed towards Murong Fu with overwhelming force.

Bei Qiao Feng's move made everyone in the martial arts world look at him with awe, and even Feng Bo'e put away his knife.

Murong Fu flew to avoid it temporarily, but Qiao Feng's palm force was superimposed again and was already close to him.

There were too many martial artists around, and it was difficult for Murong Fu to avoid them, so he immediately used his strength.

"The stars change..."

The two collided, and Murong Fu flew backwards into the air and rolled several feet down.

"Master..."

People from Murong's family went forward to support him. Murong Fu waved his hand and staggered to his feet, but his legs went weak and he fell down again. Bao Bu Tong and Feng Boye hurried forward to support him, but just as he stood up, Murong Fu opened his mouth and spit out blood again.

"..."

Qiao Feng turned his head and looked at Gu Qing.

Not below you?
