In the courtesy of Baidi Caiyun, Qianling Jiangling returned one day.

After heading north into Sichuan, Qi Ming sold his horses and instead traveled south by boat along the Yangtze River.

The sun rises.

Qi Mingzhuo stood at the bow of the boat, looking out over both banks of the Yangtze River, and sometimes he could indeed hear the sounds of various monkeys.

But what we hear today is mostly shouting and yelling.

In front of him, Li Qinglu moved as swiftly as a cat, attacking every part of his body.

If Tyson were here, he would be completely helpless.

Because Li Qinglu uses the Ancient Tomb Sect's fist technique "Heavenly Net Formation," ordinary people are powerless against her!

Qi Ming, however, used the Lingbo Weibu technique within a small space, swaying left and right, so that she couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes!

How could Zhao Feiyan's palm dance compare to even a fraction of his?

Li Qinglu was drenched in sweat, but her expression was not discouraged, because she still had a trump card up her sleeve!

She withdrew her attack to catch her breath, then stomped her right foot and shouted: "Master, display your mighty power... No, that's not right!"

Instead, it's "Honey, don't hide!"

Then she pounced on Qi Ming, wrapped her arms around his neck, and turned him into a caged bird.

Qi Ming hugged her and praised, "You've improved this time; it seems you've been working hard."

Li Qinglu said coquettishly, "Then how about you reward Qing'er?"

"You're getting cocky just because I called you fat?"

Qi Ming chuckled and said, "If your mediocre skills deserve a reward, then how should I reward those female warriors? After breakfast, continue practicing the Jade Maiden Sword Technique without the slightest slackening!"

Li Qinglu said reproachfully, "Husband~ I'm really tired. Let's not practice today, let's play cards together!"

Qi Ming did indeed create playing cards.

After all, the journey can be quite boring, so we need some entertainment.

Qi Ming sighed, "I really can't do anything with you."

In fact, Li Qinglu matured very early.

She was about seventeen or eighteen when she met Xu Zhu, but when she met Duan Yu and Qiao Feng again, she was already a "noble lady".

She was clever enough to know that although Qi Ming seemed quite composed, he was actually very lively at heart.

If she is too old-fashioned, she won't be able to win the other person's heart.

Moreover, she is indeed young and has a youthful spirit, which she has gradually released since leaving the palace, which is full of rules.

So it's not acting, and there's no need for her to act for her fiancé.

More than half a month later.

Qi Ming's family arrived in Jiujiang.

As usual, they boarded the boat and went ashore. After looking around, they did not travel back by boat, but instead bought a horse-drawn carriage and went to Suzhou by land.

Qi Ming really wants to join the Beggars' Sect!

But there's no need to go to the Beggars' Sect headquarters in Luoyang.

Because of Ma Dalang... After Ma Dayuan was killed by Kang Min and others, Qiao Feng would personally come to Suzhou to seek revenge.

Then came the Xingzilin incident.

What Qi Ming needs to do is find a good opportunity to join the Beggars' Sect's Righteous Branch near Suzhou.

At that time, he would secretly coerce and win over Quan Guanqing, so that after they forced Qiao Feng to step down in Xingzilin, they would cooperate with him to take over.

Then, naturally, he acquired the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dog-Beating Stick Technique, and took control of the number one gang in the world!

This is an achievement that Murong Bo and his son could never reach in a lifetime, or even several lifetimes.

Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou.

Even in later generations, this poem continues to attract countless tourists to Hanshan Temple.

Qi Ming wasn't really interested.

But Li Qinglu and Yunniang were very interested.

Li Qinglu, having been born into the royal family and educated by Li Qiushui, possessed a very high level of cultural literacy, or rather, a high level of Han culture literacy.

The Western Xia was essentially a cultural desert. Even a mere scholar from the Northern Song Dynasty could become a powerful figure there. But then again, academic qualifications don't represent everything.

Hong Tianwang wasn't even a scholar, so can you say he's incompetent?

Yunniang was a barbarian woman, or to put it simply, a wild woman. Although she became an adopted daughter of the Han family, or a child bride, she had little education.

After all, Han Dachui had only recently recovered from his illness and hadn't even had a chance to teach this little illiterate girl before Li Qiushui snatched her away.

And this task of literacy now falls on Qi Ming's shoulders.

***

Tenryu-ji Temple.

Although he didn't learn the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, Duan Yu was not in any danger. He was just punched by Yu Guangbiao, who was guarding him, and was unable to escape.

So he wasn't subjected to a series of attacks by the lightning weasel, the giant centipede, and the giant toad, until he was rescued by one of his retainers...

Later, even after being captured by Duan Yanqing and given the Yin-Yang Harmony Powder, he still managed to refrain from having incestuous relations with Mu Wanqing.

After all, in the martial arts setting, this kind of medicine is not poison, and there is no difference between having internal strength and not having internal strength!

Qi Ming, who was already immune to all poisons thanks to the Nine Yang Divine Skill, was enraged after eating it and was about to take flight.

Even Duan Yu, who achieved immunity to all poisons by eating the Manggu Toad, would take off after eating it, but his pure heart would allow him to withstand it.

After a while, the medicine's effects will weaken, and it won't be so difficult anymore.

Therefore, Duan Yu himself was not significantly affected except for losing the opportunity.

However, Duan Zhengchun's secret rendezvous with Gan Baobao was discovered.

Because Duan Yu lost the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, he was unable to absorb the internal energy of the other three villains who were catching him in adultery in the tunnel, allowing them to successfully break in.

For a time, Zheng Chun and Gan Baobao were both in a very sorry state.

The Dali royal family also lost face.

However, it is absolutely impossible to get Duan Zhengming to relinquish the throne to Duan Yanqing based on this alone.

Then Kumārajīva used Murong Bo's name to come to Tianlong Temple to ask for the Sword Manual.

However, they learned that "Murong Fu" had already come to spy on them and had successfully succeeded!

This is really awkward.

The only option left is to forcibly seize it, but can he choose Tenryu-ji?

So they couldn't even fight!

But they went south together.

Ostensibly, they were demanding an explanation from the Murong family.

In reality, Duan Zhengchun needed to go out and avoid trouble, and naturally, he also wanted to see his A'Luo.

Kumārajīva also wanted to use Murong Bo's name again to "borrow" the Six Meridians Divine Sword from Murong Fu.

On the Beggars' Sect's side.

Qiao Feng also set off.

They need to give an explanation for their deputy boss, Ma, who is suspected of dying from "an eye for an eye."

Murong Fu, however, went to Luoyang and took the initiative to explain the matter to the Beggars' Sect and Shaolin Temple.

He was also in a terrible predicament, having been tricked by his idiot father.

Qi Ming did not immediately go to Mantuo Villa.

Instead, they first bought a house in Suzhou and settled Li Qinglu and Yunniang there.

At the same time, they were forced to stay at home by the excuse that "the Beggars' Sect has been making unusual moves in Suzhou recently".

He then used his original name to infiltrate the Righteousness Branch of the Beggars' Sect.

The leader's surname is Jiang.

He was a staunch supporter of Qiao Feng; in fact, most of the gang members admired Qiao Feng.

If his Khitan identity hadn't been so undeniable, the villains like Kang Min and Quan Guanqing would never have succeeded.

"Brother Qi Ming!"

Leader Jiang laughed heartily and said, "With your handsome appearance, wouldn't it be a waste for you to join our Beggars' Sect as a beggar?"

Qi Ming also laughed and said, "Your gang has done a great job resisting the Liao and Western Xia! I have all my wives and concubines, and enough gold and silver to spend, but I don't have any achievements to show for it, so I always feel unsatisfied. I beg you, Master, to grant me this favor!"

Chief Jiang had already been slightly affected by the Soul Transfer Technique, and immediately agreed readily:

"Alright, we need manpower right now, so you'll stay by my side and be my disciple!"

Four bags would be great!

If you add two more fountain pens, it will be even more awesome!
