"Zhao Xueyuan?"
The two companions got a glimpse of the name's structure, looked alert, and took a half step back, keeping a distance from "Zhang Xueyuan".
Chishan sensed the emotion, snorted, paced around, and looked down from above.
Liang Qu looked up at the moon, and his long-lost thoughts gradually came together.
"Zhao Xueyuan, Third Master Zhao... I have left Huaiyin. I hope you are doing well. Zheng Xiang, how is housekeeper Zheng? How is Mr. Zhao from the Zhao family?"
Two names popped up one after another.
"Zhang Xueyuan's" Adam's apple rolled and all the pores on his body tightened.
"My Lord, please admit your mistake..."
Liang Qu pointed his whip at an angle and looked left and right.
"What's his name? Did he really grow up in Huangzhou? I'm the Hengshui envoy of Pingyang Prefecture. Even if I'm in Huangzhou, I'm sure the governor Xu will be willing to give me some face for a low-grade horse! Think carefully before answering!"
Inferior horse is often a derogatory term used by wolf smoke masters to refer to martial artists at the beginner level of galloping horse.
These words are meant to be intimidating or threatening.
The two of them shuddered.
"Your Excellency, Zhang Xueyuan! The two of us came from Dushan Town in Huangzhou. We heard that Young Master Zhang of the Zhang family was very powerful and was going to participate in the Grand Hunting Meeting, so we traveled together. Apart from that, we have no other interactions!"
"Yes, the Zhang family is not native to Huangzhou. You may not be able to tell, but from what we heard, the Zhang family has an accent! They speak Jianghuai Mandarin better than us! Most of them are from Nanzhili!"
The two of them talked nonsense and turned around to look at "Zhang Xueyuan".
His face was ashen.
"I thought it looked so familiar."
Liang Qu "heard" that the two were not lying.
I really met an old friend.
As for Zhao Xueyuan himself, he had few interactions with him and had only a limited impression of him.
I only met him once when he was fighting with some hooligans in Yang's martial arts school and on the day he was accepted as a disciple.
But Zhao Xueyuan has a father.
Mr. Zhao from Pingyang Town.
The extraordinary “first generation of rich people”, the sword of Damocles.
pity.
Apart from the fact that Liang Qu got a share of the spoils after he escaped, the two had never met each other.
I don't know whether he is tall, short, fat or thin.
The one who really had a deep connection with the Zhao family was Zheng Xiang, the second steward of the Zhao family.
This person had secretly instructed the Yixing local ruffian, Laitou Zhang, to seize food and oppress Liang Qu to the point of desperation. In the end, he took out a bag of rice to pretend to be a good person in order to raise a slave.
Recall it today.
This is not raising slaves at all, it is clearly an attempt to trick people into going up the mountain to use it as a breeding ground for mountain ghosts!
thereafter.
Bald-headed Zhang sank to the bottom of the river and turned into bones.
Mr. Zhao took the initiative to expose the truth, betrayed the Ghost Mother Sect, and fled Pingyang Town with his family one night.
Liang Qu and several of his fellow brothers killed a large number of people in a panic and successfully intercepted the envoy of the Ghost Mother Sect. They were awarded titles afterwards. It was at that time that they got the Dragon Blood Horse.
As for where the Zhao family fled to, no one knows.
I never expected...
Liang Qu pondered silently.
"Huangzhou, Huangzhou... Mr. Zhao is a businessman, but most of the business in Huaiyin Prefecture is done by water, so there is no disadvantage. So he has relatives and friends in Huangzhou? His business is far enough, so he must have thought of a way out a long time ago, right?
After the incident, he took a boat along the Jianghuai River, heading west, deep into the hinterland, avoiding the revenge of the Ghost Mother Cult, and staying away from Huaiyin. The environment was not completely unfamiliar, which was smart..."
Zhao Xueyuan was in a daze and didn't know what was right or wrong.
Liang Qu looked down at the other person, his thoughts in a mess.
Time passes.
These two people of similar age have changed a lot.
Sixth senior brother Cao Rang said that the gentleman from Liangqu had changed dramatically.
The dark, thin and short fisherman, in a blink of an eye, has grown tall and handsome three years later, riding a dragon-blood horse, and taking the lead in the Huangzhou festival. He looks like a prodigy who has been cultivated with great effort from a noble family since childhood.
How can I connect with the peasants in the martial arts gym who are waving short sticks and fighting for their lives?
Let’s look at Zhao Xueyuan.
They met in a martial arts gym, dressed in gorgeous clothes, in the prime of life. In the following years, his blood was stimulated and he developed rapidly.
The "Mr. Zhang San" in front of him is much more mature than the "Mr. Zhao San" back then.
So even though I felt that the face looked familiar at first sight, I couldn't recognize it immediately.
Until now, Zhao Xueyuan probably still doesn't know Liang Qu's identity. His eyes are dull and his lips are gray.
"You three, follow me!"
Leave a sentence.
Liang Qu rode his horse and disappeared.
Zheng Rusheng and Liu Shouping did not dare to delay.
The three "inferior horses" had the chance to kill or take away the lives of the three people in Liang Qu's hands. He immediately grabbed Zhao Xueyuan's arm and escorted him to follow.
crackle.
The firewood exploded and sparks rose up.
Liang Qu sat on a rock and fanned the bonfire.
"Have you guessed who I am?" Zhao Xueyuan looked up, his dull gaze moved from the Dragon Blood Horse to Liang Qu, and he shook his head.
Master of smoke signals.
Such strength is rare in Pingyang Town, and it is also remarkable among large counties.
I really can't remember such a person.
Liang Qu pulled out a short stick that had just been burning from the campfire. With a flick of his wrist, the flame suddenly went out and faint sparks floated away.
The moonlight is hazy.
The short sticks were waved in the air, creating a powerful force and the bonfire swayed with it.
"now what?"
Zhao Xueyuan frowned.
half an hour.
Moonlight, human figure, short stick...
The elements gradually overlap.
Zhao Xueyuan's pupils suddenly dilated, and a sense of absurdity surged like a tide.
"It's you!"
Pong!
The stick was thrown into the bonfire and sparks flew.
Liang Qu turned and looked at the two people who were making the fire.
"What are your two names?"
"Liu Shouping."
"Zheng Rusheng."
"A native of Huangzhou?"
Liu Shouping said respectfully: "Your Excellency has a good eye. We are both from Huangzhou. We grew up under the care of our neighbors. We are honest and have never committed any crime. It was completely an accident that we were traveling the same way as Zhang Xueyuan..."
“Can you grill fish?”
Liang Qu grabbed a few green-backed dragon carps left in the bag.
Zheng Rusheng and Liu Shouping looked at each other.
Others catch them all to count their points, but why does this guy just... eat them?
"My Lord, do you really want to grill the fish?"
"Won't?"
"Yes, yes."
The two were busy.
Zhao Xueyuan stared at Liang Qu's back, swallowed his saliva, and his pupils trembled.
I remembered.
I remembered it all!
Liangqu!
A fisherman from Yixing Town!
This……
How can it be?
Dragon blood horse.
Master of smoke signals.
Fisherman...
Zhao Xueyuan knew that Liang Qu was accepted as a personal disciple by Yang Dongxiong, but how could there be such a huge difference in just three years?
Before and after is simply...
Zhao Xueyuan deeply regretted joining the hunting party.
a long time.
"Can you survive?"
Liang Qu said calmly: "Whether you can survive depends on whether your father can make amends and pay a big price."
Liu Shouping touched Zheng Rusheng's arm.
Zheng Rusheng fought back.
The two men collided several times, and Liu Shouping was pushed and staggered, coughing twice.
"Sir..." Liu Shouping sprinkled salt on the grilled fish, "What did the Zhang family, oh no, the Zhao family, do wrong?"
"Pingyang Prefecture was formerly Huaiyin Prefecture. Three years ago, it was attacked by rebels from the previous dynasty, and several counties under its jurisdiction were severely damaged. The Zhao family was in Pingyang Town under the jurisdiction of Chaojiang County. At that time, they colluded with the rebels, but later tried to escape, saved Pingyang Town, and sold out the rebels, but they still harmed many people in the past."
Traitor.
The two of them remained silent.
Weird.
What a disaster.
Liang Qu examined it.
"I see you two didn't catch anything?"
"I have little ability and am not good at hunting."
"Starting tonight, the two of you will follow me and help me watch him. Afterwards, each of you will get a spirit fish."
"Don't worry, sir. I will do my best to serve Dashun!"
