Chapter 138 The Afterglow of the Jianghu
Gusu returned with Tang Buqi, but Zhao Changhe rode Wu Zui behind a huge convoy, while Tang Buqi hid in the carriage drinking wine and feeding grapes with the maid.
Zhao Changhe was very envious but didn’t want to look at him and wanted to hit him, so he hid far away.
The eldest nephew left home this time to gain experience in the world of martial arts. Although Zhao Changhe didn’t know that this guy was already twenty-four and already married, so he only had a Qianlong 120 and a mere four-level entrance. What the hell? What else is there to experience…
It is better to wait until the age of twenty-five to get on the list, and ask for a job in the family to manage the industry, so as not to occupy a hole in the list.
In fact, Zhao Changhe roughly figured it out. Tang Buqi was definitely not at the fourth level of the entrance level at the age of twenty-four, so it was basically impossible for him to be on the Hidden Dragon List. He must have been on the list relatively early, but he has basically made no progress in the past few years.
He started wandering around when he was young. His family was too protective and he lacked experience. No one from the outside world dared to trouble him. This kind of environment could easily lead to standing still or even regressing. As you can imagine.
In fact, although the Tang family is not as good as the Cui family, compared to other families, the younger generation has the land of Tang Wanzhuang and the Qianlong of Tang Buqi. It is already a family with continuous layers. What’s more, no one in the family is on the list anymore. They are going further and further down the road of decline, but they don’t know it. There are too many people who are indulging in the glory of their ancestors.
In a sense, the book on troubled times is not without its benefits. It can often remind these people: Hey, no one in your family is on the list. Without the encouragement of this shabby book, I am afraid that the Tang family and the Cui family would also have declined. This is a law.
In this situation, Tang Buqi has a solid foundation. If he is willing to work hard again, there is still a lot to be done. I am afraid that this is the reason why I went out to practice this time.
In short, although it was for the sake of experience, he didn’t go far from home. He just arrived in Yangzhou. Now that he knew that Zhao Changhe was going to Suzhou, Tang Buqi thought about it and wondered if it would have some impact on his family if it really happened in Suzhou. Also returns.
The verbal claim is that guests must take tours with them when they come, but in fact, Zhao Changhe didn’t even look at her all the way. Isn’t the little maid nice?
Zhao Changhe was so angry that his teeth itched, and he knew that the trip to Gusu would definitely require the help of the Tang family, so it was hard to beat him… It was really a mistake for this guy to find an opportunity to defeat him.
Would it be better to leave the team and go on your own, so as not to be offended by Tang Buqi’s virtue?
Just as he was thinking this, a shadow flashed in front of him, heading straight for Tang Buqi’s carriage.
Zhao Changhe rode his horse and held a knife, and galloped over. He subconsciously planned to help… No matter how angry he was with this guy, he had to admit that he was actually quite good.
However, it was really far away just now. As soon as the horse ran over, the other party had already walked out of the carriage, waving a bellyband in his hand and walked away with a big smile: “The bellyband that the Young Master of the Tang family plays with should be able to sell well. The price~”
Tang Buqi angrily picked up his pants and rushed out of the carriage: “Ji Chengkong! I have not offended you!”
“Zhao Changhe and Wan Dongliu are friends. If I can’t offend them, how can I offend you?”
Tang Buqi: “?”
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Facing Tang Buqi’s furious gaze, Zhao Changhe silently raised his bow and arrow, and with a “swish” sound, an arrow nailed the tree trunk in front of Ji Chengkong.
Ji Chengkong broke out in a cold sweat and said angrily: “Zhao Changhe, do you want to form a deadly feud with me?”
Zhao Changhe sighed speechlessly: “Brother, you were the one who tried to die to touch me that day, and then I punched you back into the river. Even today, this arrow shot the tree trunk and not you. ”
As Ji Chengkong leaped, he turned over in the air, stepped lightly on the arrow, and said coldly: “I touched my bellyband instead of inserting a dagger.”
“So you and I don’t have any grudges against each other. Can we resolve this grudge?” Zhao Changhe said: “I don’t know if Wan Dongliu told you that I deliberately let him go that day. You.”
Ji Chengkong hesitated for a moment. When Wandong exiled people, he actually spoke up to Zhao Changhe, saying that he was even released because of Zhao Changhe’s request. Ji Chengkong didn’t believe it at first, thinking that Wan Dongliu was afraid that his house would be broken into before letting him go, and he didn’t want to lose face, so he made an excuse.
But Zhao Changhe said so himself, and it was actually right. It seemed that it was not an excuse for Wan Dongliu to make random remarks.
Actually, the truth is half and half. Zhao Changhe did say that he was in love that day, but he was later released because Wan Dongliu was afraid of burglars.
He asked hesitantly: “Your Excellency and I are strangers to each other. As you just said, I provoked you first. Why do you still want to intercede on my behalf?”
Zhao Changhe said: “First of all, it’s because when Zhao first came here, it’s hard to distinguish between good and evil. Maybe you are a good person and Wan Dongliu is a bad person… Also, if I say it, it’s because I have a lot of experience with all kinds of strange people. They are all interested in making friends, don’t you think it’s incredible?”
Ji Chengkong was even more surprised and pointed at his nose: “Am I like this? A thief? A strange person?”
Zhao Changhe smiled and said nothing.
If you met a thief in this world, you would just want to beat him to death, especially if he touched him.
But for a martial arts fantasy world, it seems that the judging criteria have slightly changed.
The pirate commander Ye Liuxiang is still there, and the flying dragon’s cloud-exploring hand is still there. Most of the thieves and saints in many works are not villains, each has his or her own style, which always makes him feel that these people are two different people from the thieves known in the world.
Even if I know it vaguely in my heart, most of it is almost the same…
But this Ji Chengkong is really interesting, just like stealing the bellyband this time, can you say he is an interesting person?
Seeing Zhao Changhe’s attitude, Ji Chengkong was really surprised. He laughed and said: “Interesting, interesting. I didn’t expect a bloodthirsty Shura to be such a person. We have settled our grievances, and I will treat you to a drink when I get the chance!” ”
After saying that, he flicked his hand and the bellyband flew back in a circle. When Tang Buqi went to grab the bellyband, a few of them flew by and the person was gone.
This light skill is really powerful… If Zhao Changhe hadn’t stopped him that day, I felt like Wan Dongliu wouldn’t have been able to catch him.
Tang Buqi came back holding his bellyband resentfully, and said with a sullen face: “Just because I ignored you along the way, you can’t just end up with the two thieves who stole the bellyband, right?”
Zhao Changhe said angrily: “Even if I come, can I catch him? Wan Dongliu doesn’t want to offend this group of people to death. Everyone who comes and goes without a trace has a big problem. What can be done to resolve the grudges? Not good?”
“That’s very well said. It makes sense.” Tang Buqi said expressionlessly, “However, I have no grudge against him. How did this bellyband get from me?”
“…” Zhao Changhe tilted his head: “Wan Dongliu has been imprisoned for so long. You and Wan Dongliu have a good relationship.”
“It has nothing to do with you, right?” Tang Buqi sneered: “I don’t care what your relationship is with the Demon-Suppressing Division, but I have something to remind you, including the presence of Ji Chengkong and his master Ye Wujiang. There are all wanted criminals from the Demon Suppression Division. Do you still want to make friends with strange people?”
Zhao Changhe: “…”
“No matter what these thieves originally want to do, maybe what they want is very stylish… However, officials and thieves always have to choose one side.” Tang Buqi became serious: “The same goes for knights. Do you think they are in the middle? ? In the eyes of officials, you are no different than a thief, and in the eyes of thieves, you are like a dog.”
Zhao Changhe looked at him in surprise, is this Tang Buqi? Wasn’t it Tang Wanzhuang’s disguise?
Tang Buqi said calmly: “In the storybook, everyone admires heroes, but among those who are famous for their heroes in today’s world, at least among the younger generation, there is only one Yue Hongling. Why is her sword intention like the setting sun? ? Because that is the last afterglow of Jianghu. ”
Zhao Changhe looked at him in surprise for a long time, then suddenly smiled: “When the prefect was assassinated, why did you say that the real murderer had nothing to investigate and was a righteous man anyway?”
Tang Buqi was stunned and stopped talking.
Zhao Changhe patted him on the shoulder: “The hero has always been there, you are.”
He rode his horse forward for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: “Remember not to say such serious things next time. It doesn’t suit you very much… When I say it from your mouth, I am very amused.”
“Fuck.” Tang Buqi angrily threw his bellyband back into the carriage, then raised his head and shouted, “Don’t be so far away from the team alone, come and have a drink.”
