The most important reason why the Chu delegation succeeded in seeking marriage to Eastern Qi was that there was a sudden change in the Northern Han Dynasty, and Beitang Yu and Beitang Feng, who were envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty, escaped.
Qining always thought that if there were changes in Luoyang, Beitang Feng would rush back to Luoyang as quickly as possible to fight for the throne, but he never expected that he would encounter Beitang Feng in Xiangyang today.
The young master who suddenly stepped forward was none other than Beitang Feng, the prince of the Northern Han Dynasty.
The moment Qi Ning saw Beitang Feng, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. He just thought it was incredible that the world is so big that he could encounter Beitang Feng in Xiangyang. This was even smaller than a sow climbing a tree, but it was It happened.
He was surprised and confused, thinking that something had happened in the Northern Han Dynasty. Instead of running back to seize the throne, what was he doing in Xiangyang? , that’s no joke. Once your identity is exposed, you can’t run away even if you want.
He looked behind Beitang Feng, and there stood a tall man wearing a hat. Although he was deliberately dressed plainly, Qining recognized him as Lord Vulcan at a glance.
Since Beitang Feng and Vulcan Lord appeared here, Beitang Yu would not be too far away. Qining looked around and found no trace of Beitang Yu. He wondered whether Beitang Yu and Beitang Feng were actually Parted ways
Beitangfeng and the man in green shirt were facing each other tit for tat, while everyone around them was pointing and pointing. A person behind the man in green shirt sneered at Beitangfeng and said: "Whose crotch is not pulled up to reveal such a ghost thing? Want to show off your majesty and heroism? Save the beauty?"
Several people following the man in green shirt immediately burst into laughter.
Beitangfeng was born into a royal family. How could anyone dare to say such vulgar words in front of him? His face darkened and he said coldly: "Do you have the guts to say it again?"
The man wanted to say more, but the man in green shirt raised his hand and said with a smile: "That's all, since this young master wants to challenge the hero, let's not spoil his interest. We are all law-abiding citizens, so don't argue here." Beitangfeng said with a smile: "Can you please leave your name?"
Beitangfeng opened his mouth, but just snorted coldly: "You don't deserve to know my name."
The man in green shirt gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "You have the courage. I haven't met such a tough guy in many years." He smiled at the little busker girl, stopped pestering her, turned around and left, following him. The few people there all sneered at Beitangfeng and followed the man in green shirt away.
When Beitang Feng saw the man in green shirt leading the people away, he couldn't help but puff up his chest, with a proud look on his face. However, he saw the little old man stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my friend, for rescuing the siege."
Beitangfeng hurriedly adjusted his clothes, bowed his hands to the little old man, looked at the busking girl, and asked, "Is the girl okay?"
The busking girl shook her head and said, "Thank you, Master, for your help."
"It's just a trivial matter. It's not worth mentioning." Beitang Feng pretended to be elegant, but the little old man had already extended his hands to everyone around him and said: "Thank you all, young and old, for supporting me. That's all for today's performance. Please continue to support me tomorrow. Thank you very much." .”
The onlookers dispersed one after another. Since Qi Ning encountered Beitang Feng, he naturally wanted to find out what this kid was up to when he came to Xiangyang. He stood outside the door and did not leave. Suddenly he heard someone beside him say: "This is a good relationship. I know the man in green shirt just now."
Qining turned around and saw that the person speaking was a middle-aged man, stroking his beard and looking quite proud. There were several people around him. Someone had already asked, "Do you know him? That man is a bit arrogant, Qiao Zhuang." Lord, who is that person’s origin?”
"You may not believe what I said." The middle-aged owner Qiao said, "Let me ask you, have you ever heard of the Hanjia Fort in Xichuan?"
Several people onlookers looked at each other. It was obvious that some of them didn't know, but one person said: "Master Qiao is talking about the Hanjiabao in Hejiang, Xichuan?"
"That's right." Boss Qiao said, "Since you know Hanjiabao, do you know what happened in Hanjiabao last year?"
The man smiled and said, "Are you talking about the daughter of the Lord of the Han Family Fort marrying the Beggar Clan's Fire Monkey Branch Helmsman as a concubine?"
Qi Ning's heart trembled, but he heard the owner of the village, Qiao, laugh and say: "Brother, the information is pretty good, that's what I'm talking about. But... Hehe, the lady from Hanjiabao married that Cao Duo Lord, I am not willing to do so."
"Oh?" Someone immediately asked: "Master Qiao, what's going on? You are a senior in the world. You have traveled all over the country and seen a lot of things. We are ignorant, so you have to explain it to us."
Zhuangzhu Qiao chuckled and said, "There are some things you shouldn't say nonsense. You just need to remember that this marriage is not simple."
"Master Qiao, we are talking about the man in blue shirt. Why did you mention Hanjiabao?" Someone asked doubtfully: "Is the man in green shirt related to Hanjiabao?"
"Of course it does matter." Zhuangzhu Qiao said: "The man in green shirt just now is the uncle of Hanjiabao. Now you understand, he is Cao Wei, the helmsman of the Fire Monkey Branch of the Beggar Clan!"
Qi Ning and Mao Hu'er next to him looked at each other, with shock in their eyes.
Qi Ning has never met Cao Wei, but this is not the first time he heard this name. When he was in Xichuan, the Beggar Gang Elder Baihu conspired against him and set up a trap to assassinate Xiang Baiying. Qi Ning remembered clearly that night, Xiang Baiying He asked Baihu about Cao Wei's forced marriage, but Xiang Baiying was seriously injured at that time. Baihu covered up for Cao Wei, so Xiang Baiying did not continue to question him.
But unexpectedly, I met Cao Wei here today.
Qi Ning still remembered that Cao Wei was Bai Hu's direct disciple, and he was single-handedly promoted by Bai Hu to be the helmsman of the Fire Monkey Division. He was the direct descendant of Bai Hu's Iron Man.
"Isn't it right?" Someone immediately questioned: "Master Qiao, Cao Wei is the leader of the Beggar Clan, but the way he dressed just now, he didn't look like a disciple of the Beggar Clan. When he made a move, he was rewarded with ten taels of silver, which looked like He is a rich man, others are beggars."
Another person also said: "Yes, if the person named Cao is from the Beggar Clan, how could he dare to regulate that girl in broad daylight? I heard that the Beggar Clan is very strict with the leader."
"Chief Xiang?" Zhuangzhu Qiao looked like he knew everything about the world: "Chief Xiang was harmed by others. It's not like you don't know that during the Aoki Conference, the Beggar Clan will elect a new leader to avenge Leader Xiang. Do you have What I don’t know is that Cao Wei is a direct disciple of Elder Baihu. As far as I know, this person likes women and is quite arrogant. When the leader of the Xiang clan was still alive, Cao Wei relied on the protection of Elder Baihu and was quite unscrupulous. Now that Gang Leader Xiang is gone, who else dares to provoke this person?"
The person next to him nodded and said: "I also heard that this time the Beggar Clan chooses its leader, Elder Bai Hu is sure to win. He has the highest qualifications in the Beggar Clan. If nothing else, Elder Bai Hu will be the next leader of the Beggar Clan. This Cao Cao Wei is the direct disciple of Elder Baihu, maybe when Elder Baihu retires, Cao Wei will become the leader of the Beggar Clan in the future."
"Master Qiao, how do you know Cao Wei?" Someone asked, "Is it possible that you have some friendship with him?"
Owner Qiao said with a smile: "I have a few friends in Xichuan. I went to visit last year, and it happened that Miss Han Jiabao came out of the palace. I also went there to have a wedding banquet. I saw with my own eyes that it was this helmsman Cao who welcomed the bride. This helmsman Cao usually doesn’t like to wear rags, so sometimes when we meet him, we can’t tell that he is from the Beggar Clan.”
Someone sighed: "The Beggar Gang is the number one gang in the world. In the past few decades, it has been the leader of the eight gangs and sixteen factions. I heard that the gang rules are strict, and the leader of the gang has always been respected by others. But this gang leader Once he left, the world became worse and worse, and it seems that the Beggar Clan is also going downhill."
"Shh!" Someone immediately raised his hand and looked around. There were beggars scattered on the street. The man whispered: "Be careful that people from the beggar gang hear you. Nowadays, there are people from the beggar gang inside and outside Xiangyang City. But you have to be careful." It's better to be careful, because if you really offend the Beggar Clan, you won't get much good results."
Master Qiao glanced into the tea shop and saw Beitang Fengzheng whispering something to the little old man. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you know where this young man came from?"
Everyone shook their heads, and someone said: "I don't know where it came from. You can't show off when you are out. This young man has just stepped forward and has offended the Beggar Gang. I'm afraid he doesn't even know it."
"Then Cao Wei is not someone to be trifled with." Zhuangzhu Qiao said: "This matter is definitely not over yet. Cao Wei was scolded by that young man in public. Even ordinary people would not let it go, let alone someone like Cao Wei. ?" He sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that this young man won't be able to leave Xiangyang City."
The others also shook their heads slightly, looking at Beitang Feng as if they were looking at a dead person.
These people were all veterans, and they knew it was not appropriate to say anything more, so they all dispersed. Qi Ning then asked Mao Huer softly: "Have you ever heard of Cao Wei?"
Mao Hu'er nodded and said: "I know the name of each of the twenty-eight helmsmen of the Beggar Clan, but I have not seen them all. We are all in the east area. This White Tiger Qisu is in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan area. There are usually no What an intersection, we just met once every three years during the Aoki Conference. At the Aoki Conference three years ago, Cao Wei was not the helmsman of the Fire Monkey Division."
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Cao Wei just molested that girl in public. Does the Beggar Clan have any rules?"
"Yes." Mao Hu'er said immediately: "Bullying the weak and humiliating women are all major crimes of the Beggar Clan, but we, Qinglong Qisu, have no control over that. He is the rudder, and White Tiger Qisu has a deacon hall. If you offend the gang, The rules and regulations are all decided by the Deacon Hall." He sneered and said, "But the Deacon Hall of Western Qisu is all Baihu's people, so it's not Baihu's word to decide how to issue it."
"Send one person to catch up with Cao Wei." Qin Ning whispered: "Don't alert the enemy, just keep an eye on them to see if they are staying in the city and where they live. Find out clearly and report back to me immediately."
Mao Hu'er obeyed Qing Ning's instructions, turned around, and whispered a few instructions, and the two men immediately chased him in the direction Cao Wei had just left.
Qi Ning glanced into the room and saw that the little old man and the girl were collecting things. Beitang Feng was also collecting things. Lord Vulcan was standing not far away, with a solemn look on his face and a frown on his face. He looked like he was not in a very good mood. good.
