he walks in the world

Chapter 12 Uninvited Guest, Unkind Comer

At sunset, the red clouds, as if being burned by fire, sprinkled over the world, and everything was so peaceful. In Wutong Town, two fast horses came at no speed, walked straight to Qingshi Lane, and came to the gate of Juyi Gang.

Dismounting alone, the man in blue went to the door, held his sword in salute, cupped his hands and said: "Zhuo Bufan and Ling Xiaoxiao of Yijianmen, please see Chief Du Ruodu!"

In front of the gate of the Juyi Gang, the guards in charge of the gate were shocked. During this period of time, everyone in the Juyi Gang had also heard that the previous leader ordered the killing of a Yijianmen disciple. Many people were worried that they would turn against each other. Because of this incident, people who didn't know about Yijianmen deliberately inquired about Yijianmen. The strength of Yijianmen is beyond imagination.

The pair of young men and women in front of them are not ordinary people, no matter their temperament or demeanor. The two gang members of the Juyi Gang did not doubt whether it was true or not, and they were a little nervous for a while. When they were about to ask questions, He Xie came out from the door.

"So it's Zhuo Daxia and Ling Nvxia, who have admired their names for a long time, and I will gather together to help He Xie." He Xie held the ceremony and said, "It's a bit unfortunate that the two of you came here. Our leader has already gone to Shuixi County this morning. If you are not in a hurry, you might as well come to my Juyi for help, our leader will be back soon."

As soon as He Xie finished speaking, Ling Xiaoxiao said in displeasure: "Your leader is so proud of you that you dare to let Miss Ben wait for him. What is he? Is he looking down on me, Yi Jianmen?"

The smile on He Xie's face froze in an instant, and he said in a bad tone: "Nv Xia Ling's words are a bit too much. I have already said that our leader is not here. You came at an unfortunate time. You didn't mean to be disrespectful to Yi Jianmen at all, but Ling You should pay attention, female hero, although my Juyi Gang is not a big sect, but it is not your servant of Yijianmen, this is Fengyang County, it is Shuzhong, not Qingzhou!"

"You are so bold," Ling Xiaoxiao scolded, "You dare to threaten me, even if you dare to threaten me just because of your nonsense Gathering for Righteousness, you are tired of working..."

"Junior Sister!"

Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao's words were getting more and more excessive, Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but stop, and then cupped his hands to He Xie, who was livid, and said, "He Daxia, my junior sister is young and ignorant, so I offended you, please forgive me, since Du The leader is not here, so let's wait, come back in two days, and leave!"

With a cold face, He Xie cupped his hands: "No!"

Zhuo Bufan dragged Ling Xiaoxiao and quickly left outside Qingshi Lane, no matter how much Ling Xiaoxiao struggled, he couldn't break free and could only be dragged away.

He Xie looked at the two people who left, his expression was still not good, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes. Although he did act tough enough just now, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, especially that Ling Xiaoxiao's posture made him even more worried , so that he once thought that Yi Jianmen came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

He Xie had never heard of Ling Xiaoxiao, but the name Zhuo Bufan was somewhat familiar. He was the No. 12 of the famous Twelve Heroes of Cangyun Mountain in Yijianmen of Qingzhou, and also the name of Yijianmen. The youngest disciple of Grandmaster Ling Jingzhe is famous in the land of Qingzhou, and everyone in the rivers and lakes will respect him as the Twelve Heroes.

If this Zhuo Bufan really came to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, and started killing in this Juyi Gang, He Xie really didn't know what to stop him. This Zhuo Bufan is a first-rate master in the world. This kind of person, just a reputation, is enough Let the three-acre land in Shuixi County move.

If it wasn't for Ling Xiaoxiao's words, it would have gone too far, it would have put the dignity of the Juyi Gang on the ground and trampled on it, He Xie really didn't want to offend her.

…………

Outside Qingshi Lane, Ling Xiaoxiao was dragged by Zhuo Bufan, struggling non-stop, until Zhuo Bufan let him go after a long distance.

As soon as he was put down, Ling Xiaoxiao turned around and kicked Zhuo Bufan. Even Zhuo Bufan, who was excellent in martial arts, was kicked back a few steps.

"Zhuo Bufan, you are not a man anymore, just watching me being bullied by others, and even apologizing to others, I can understand if the other party is some kind of big shot, but you are so afraid of such a country bumpkin , you... are in vain for me, the Twelve Heroes of Cangyun Mountain, you are not worthy of this title!"

Zhuo Bufan took a deep breath, shook his head, patted the footprints on his chest lightly, walked over slowly, and said calmly: "Junior Sister, the old master told me the first day he accepted me as an apprentice. As I said before, practicing martial arts is not for fighting fiercely, let alone bullying others, but for protecting yourself and what you care about."

"Then why didn't you protect me?" Ling Xiaoxiao said angrily.

Zhuo Bufan said speechlessly: "You haven't been bullied by anyone, why should I protect you? That's not protecting you, it's bullying others for you, junior sister, you can't do this, I've told you many times, this is walking in the rivers and lakes, We can't be superior just because we are members of Yijianmen, you can't just look down on others and bully others just because they are not as high as you, we have to do things with heart."

"Where did I bully him? He was the one who threatened me. Zhuo Bufan, are you my senior brother? Why do you always speak for others and bully me for others!" Ling Xiaoxiao said aggressively.

"Ling Xiaoxiao!"

Zhuo Bufan yelled loudly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not helping others to bully you, I just hope you can understand that outside the world, everyone will respect and spoil you, it's different outside, and , we shouldn't always think that we are superior because we are from Yijianmen, this is not good."

"I was also an ordinary person back then, which is what you call a country bumpkin. At that time, everyone bullied me, and I would be robbed if I bought a steamed bun. Those people are just like you said, I am a country bumpkin, so I should follow them , I made them unhappy, I just didn’t respect them, so they want to bully me and beat me, think about it for yourself, is there any difference in what you did just now?”

"I didn't!" Ling Xiaoxiao was stubborn, but was wronged by Zhuo Bufan, saying: "Obviously I didn't, I never bullied anyone, I didn't intend to bully him, obviously he threatened me..."

Zhuo Bufan shook his head, his heart softened, his attitude became more gentle, and he said: "That's just what you think, since you have been standing on the commanding heights to look down on others from the very beginning, why should others respect you."

Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao was about to cry, Zhuo Bufan sighed, walked over, and said, "Junior Sister, I'm not trying to murder you, but, think about it, neither me nor Master can be by your side forever, if One day you meet someone stronger than you, what should you do?"

"Also, let's talk about the Juyi Gang. If I just listened to you and fought here, indeed, I can come and go freely, and I can kill them all, but what's the point? It's just evil. I have no hatred for the reputation of Yi Jianmen, but because of a few words, it has turned into a life-and-death hatred, why bother."

Ling Xiaoxiao raised his head and said: "But, they killed my Yi Jianmen disciple, they should give us an explanation."

"Wei Zhang died in the hands of the Juyi Gang. It was a dispute between Jianghu and Jianghu. Either he died or someone else died. This is the rule. If Wei Zhang makes a move for the Nanshan Gang, he must be prepared to die for the Nanshan Gang. He is not For Yi Jianmen, Yi Jianmen has no obligation to avenge him, we came to investigate, not for revenge, but just to prevent my sect's cheats from getting out." Zhuo Bufan said.

Ling Xiaoxiao lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhuo Bufan sighed, and said again: "Walking in the rivers and lakes is a kind of knowledge. You live and learn, and there are many things that are not what you think. Moreover, we took action against the Juyi Gang. It is tantamount to provoking the rivers and lakes in central Sichuan, even if it is only a small gang, it will cause unnecessary troubles, and at that time, we Yijianmen will pay the price, no matter how big or small, it is an unnecessary price."

Ling Xiaoxiao pursed his lips, and said: "You tell me this, and I don't understand, so I just want to ask you, if someone bullies me, will you protect me?"

Looking at Ling Xiaoxiao's expression, Zhuo Bufan knew that these words were in vain, he patted Ling Xiaoxiao's head helplessly, and said: "I will protect you, as long as senior brother is here, I will not allow anyone to bully you , But ah, senior brother will not help you bully others."

"Hmph," Ling Xiaoxiao raised his head and said, "I won't bully people, okay, let's go find the inn!"

Ling Xiaoxiao hopped forward, Zhuo Bufan shook his head behind:
Junior sister, the rivers and lakes are too big, if you don't learn how to grow up, senior brother doesn't know how far this sword in your hand can protect you?

…………

In Shuixi County, from the second day onwards, Du Ruo visited those businesses that cooperated with the Juyi Gang one by one. It took two or three days to go back and forth.

Until the Dragon Boat Festival, Shuixi County became lively.

For the Dragon Boat Festival, County Magistrate Song was present as a judge in person, and almost all the famous people in Shuixi County were invited to the scene. Except for a few special reasons, almost all of them came. For example, the four presidents of the four major chambers of commerce in Shuixi County , the head of the only academy, the helm of the five largest gangs, and some respected family patriarchs.

The Dragon Boat Festival is held on the Tai'an River in the west of the city. The Tai'an River has been very lively since a few days ago, and it is even worse today. At a glance, there are countless boats of all kinds. Among them, in the middle of the river, there is a proud The big boats of all the boats float in the middle of the river like a small building.

Today, the vicinity of the Tai'an River is even more crowded, and various Dragon Boat Festival activities can be seen everywhere. Du Ruo took invitations and was escorted by the Juyi Gang, and finally arrived at the Tai'an River among the crowds. A huge dragon boat.

That dragon boat is the location of the dragon boat festival designated by Song county magistrate this time.

On the bank of the river, the yamen had already sent a special person here to greet him. Du Ruo walked there under the guidance of Heitou. Just as he reached the bank of the river, he saw a group of people walking towards him, and that group of people also saw this side. Suddenly, the atmosphere froze.

"Duruo!"

"Deng Fangzhou!"
