Chapter 503 Jiangnan Gusu
The area south of the Yangtze River is known as the land of fish and rice.

Lu Ping had also been to the "Jiangnan" of Dongwulin. Compared with the two places, the Jiangnan of Dongwulin seemed more prosperous due to the peace and prosperity of the Li Tang Dynasty and the stable development of various underworld forces.

The Jiangnan area in Beiwulin is much worse, but still beautiful. When you look at it from a distance, you can inexplicably draw a picture like this in your mind:

In April, a girl in light green clothes, holding an oil-paper umbrella, strolled alone in the long, long and lonely alley in the misty rain.

The girl exuded the scent of lilac flowers and hummed local songs in the soft Wu dialect, which was graceful and light, making people intoxicated.

She finally walked out of the rain alley, crossed the broken bridge, and unknowingly came to a pavilion on the lake.

At this time, the sky was indigo blue, and the drizzle was like pearls, falling into the lake in front of me, creating countless ripples, like a dream.

In such a good mood, the girl from the south of the Yangtze River simply put away her oil-paper umbrella and sat down by the water.

Accompanied by laughter and joy, the girl slowly took off a pair of turquoise flowery shoes with her bare hands, and then put her delicate jade feet wrapped in white lace stockings into the lake.

With a strong kick, a splash of water like a white lotus immediately appeared...

Strange, why did the picture start to look wrong?
By the time Lu Ping finally came to his senses, the team had already arrived at their destination and it was time for them to say goodbye.

Lu Ping and others' destination was Murong's family in Yanziwu. Master Li Mochou and his disciples had never had a fixed place to live, while sisters Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang planned to visit their hometown in Jiaxing.

"I have taught you the 'Three Famous Swords' these past few days. Remember to practice them more. The next time we meet, I, the Master, will check your progress!"

"Know it."

Considering that Lu Wushuang herself had a foundation in swordsmanship, Lu Ping finally decided to teach her a sword technique, and finally chose the "Three Famous Swords" of Guling Shiyan as his target.

There is no other reason, simply because this set of sword techniques has the lowest threshold.

As for the rest, whether it is the Nine Yang Heavenly Art or the Snow Embracing Ice Plum, they all require a very long time to practice and a very deep foundation to be used, but Lu Wushuang simply does not have the talent and patience.

Yanziwu and Mantuo Villa are the two most famous check-in spots for internet celebrities in the Gusu area of ​​the martial arts world. Almost every time traveler has to come here for a visit, either for the martial arts or for the women here.

However, in this world, the woman is still there, but the martial arts collection is destined not to be so rich. After all, the martial arts secrets in the Langhuan Blessed Land were not brought to Mantuo Villa by Li Qingluo.

When Lu Ping and others arrived here, they asked the locals and soon found out where Yanziwu was.

But when they were inquiring about the news, they also discovered another concerning rumor circulating nearby.

"Many people in the martial arts world have died due to their famous skills. The victims' families have identified the suspect as the Gusu Murong family?"

After hearing the news, Lu Ping's face showed deep confusion.

“Who are the dead?”

"There are monks from the Shaolin Temple with the surname Xuan, the deputy leader of the Northern Beggars' Sect, and many good fighters from second-rate gangs. All together, there are at least twenty people."

"Now all the gangs whose members have died have sent people to Yanziwu to seek an explanation from Murong Fu."

That deputy leader of the Northern Beggars' Sect should be Ma Dayuan who was killed by Kang Min in the original novel, right?

Although the order of development of the story is reversed from that in the book, it seems that the Northern Beggars' Sect inevitably fell into chaos after Qiao Feng left.

I don’t know how Qiao Feng is doing now?

There is no news in the martial arts world that Qiao Feng has killed anyone, which means that Xiao Yuanshan probably did not betray his son this time.

In comparison, it seems that the other father's behavior of betraying his son has not changed?

In the original novel, most of the stories about "people in the martial arts world dying from their own famous skills" were caused by that old guy Murong Bo.

Murong Bo's purpose in doing this was not only to silence the witnesses and hide the news of his own death, but also to force Murong Fu to take a further step on the road to restoring the country.

It can be said that he is an example of someone using his own strength to trick his son.

But no matter which murder it was, it was certain that Murong Fu did not commit it.

"This world...could these things still be done by Murong Bo?"

Lu Ping muttered to himself, thinking about the possibility of this matter. You know, the attitude of this world towards foreigners is much worse than in the original book.

Putting his own son, who already had a bad background, under the spotlight of public criticism would undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of restoring the country. Would Murong Bo be so stupid?
Although he is a very strange person in the original book...

After getting the news, Lu Ping and the other three returned to their residence to discuss their next actions.

"After what happened, I think Murong Fu is having a hard time taking care of himself, and Jiumozhi may not come to Yanziwu. Should we wait for a while before visiting him?"

"When is some time?"

Lu Ping asked a question in return, which stumped Duan Yu.

Although he was the prince of Dali, he was young and inexperienced after all. He had never dealt with matters equivalent to "national diplomacy" before, so he was at a loss for a moment.

"This...do you have any suggestions?"

"Absolutely not."

Lu Ping spread his hands and laughed, "Whether it was coming to Yanziwu to look for the Six Meridians Divine Sword Manual or coming to Mantuo Villa to seek revenge on Li Qingluo, weren't you the one who took the initiative?"

"So you are the protagonist of this trip, you are the leader, you are the one who makes the decisions, and we are just the ones you hired to help you."

"Do you think so?"

Receiving Lu Ping's eye signal, Yang Guo on the side couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Lu is right. Since Brother Duan has covered all the expenses for this trip to Gusu, we will definitely help you."

"Just tell me what to do next."

Duan Yu's face turned black after hearing the two people's joking conversation. He couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks, and his heart was full of regret.

"Actually, I was just impulsive that day. I don't know why, but I took the initiative to take charge of the matter when my head was hot."

"If you ask me to make a decision now, I really don't know how to deal with it..."

Seeing this, even Xiaolongnu couldn't bear it anymore.

"Master Duan, I don't know the pros and cons of this, but if you are hesitant and indecisive like you are, you will definitely not be able to accomplish anything in the end."

"If you can't think of a good solution, why not just give up thinking about it? Don't worry about what the other party is doing now. Just go to their house and ask for an explanation."

"The son pays for the father's debt. Since the monk you mentioned said he wanted to burn the sword manual for the dead, why don't you ask the dead man's son to help you catch the monk?"

Xiaolongnu's suggestion may sound a bit unsophisticated, but it is indeed the simplest and most direct method.

Duan Yu had not expected Xiao Long Nu to say this, and was at a loss for a moment: "Ah, this... is it too undignified and unmannerly?"

"Is dignity and demeanor more important, or is sword manual more important?"

This question went straight to the point and even Duan Yu was silent.

After a while, he pinched the folding fan in his hand, took a deep breath and made a decision: "Okay, let's go to Yanziwu now!"

"...When we get there, the three of you must remember to protect me!"

Soon, the four of them arrived at the lake and rented a boat to go to Yanziwu.

The boatman was an old man who kept chattering along the way. He claimed that he had lived here for more than 20 years and had never seen so many people from all walks of life rushing to Yanziwu like in this period of time.

After hearing this, a few people just smiled and thought it was just a casual remark of the old boatman. It was not until the boat docked at Yanziwu that they realized that what the other party said might not be false.

It was because there were already four or five small boats parked where they docked.

On those small boats, four or five shirtless boatmen were gathered there chatting, laughing, and gossiping about the turmoil that was happening in Yanziwu.

One of them was drunk and fell to the side.

Obviously, these boatmen have been docked here for a long time.
