Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Mu Yuncheng.

A carriage slowly drove in through the city gate. The white horse at the front of the carriage, though dusty from its journey, was still spirited and stood out, attracting many people to stop and watch.

A handsome man in blue robes sat on the carriage shaft, holding the reins in one hand and a wine gourd in the other. He leaned lazily against the carriage and looked somewhat drowsy.

"Xu..."

Not long after, just as the carriage passed the entrance of a restaurant, the man who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened them, took a deep sniff of the aroma of wine in the air, greedily turned his head to look at the restaurant in front of him, and immediately pulled on the reins, stopping the carriage.

"Are you hungry? How about trying the local delicacies of Muyun City?"

The man turned his head and glanced at the carriage behind him, then asked with a smile.

"it is good."

Two women answered simultaneously from inside the carriage, their voices soft and suggestive, enough to spark the imagination.

The man dismounted, stretched, and casually hung the nearly empty wine gourd on his waist.

Soon, two beautiful women dressed in white stepped out of the carriage one after the other. With the man's help, they gently jumped down from the carriage, each holding a handsome man on either side, and went straight up the stone steps at the entrance of the restaurant.

"Please come in, gentlemen!"

Upon seeing this, the waiter at the door immediately put on a smiling face and quickly came out to greet them. While inviting the three inside, he ordered someone to quickly tie up the carriage at the door.

"Master, elder brother, perhaps you stopped because you smelled the aroma of the wine here?"

One of the women raised her chin and asked the handsome man next to her with a smile.

"Waiter, bring the wine!"

The handsome man smiled and, without explaining, shouted loudly before leading the two women up to the second floor and choosing a window seat.

Another slightly older woman looked at the handsome man's drunken state, shook her head and chuckled, then took the other woman's hand and led her to the window, gazing at the bustling streets of Muyun City.

These three guests who had come from afar were none other than Duan Zhengchun, Xiaolongnu, and Lu Wushuang, who had disappeared for three years.

Three years later, Duan Zhengchun remained the same unconventional and dashing man he always was, while Xiaolongnu and Lu Wushuang seemed to have matured considerably, especially in certain areas.

After a long period of watering, a different transformation will indeed occur.

Soon, the waiter brought all the food and drinks to the table, and the three of them sat down next to each other to enjoy the local delicacies.

"Really good wine!"

Duan Zhengchun tilted his head back and downed a bowl of wine, then couldn't help but praise it.

Three years have passed, and he still loves two things the most: alcohol and women.

"Have you heard? Half a month ago, someone caused trouble at the Beggars' Sect headquarters in Xiangyang City, but was severely injured by a Beggars' Sect protector. Master Guo and Chief Huang are currently searching everywhere for that person's whereabouts. It seems this matter is not over yet!"

"That's right, I've heard about it too. Apparently, that person was just a teenager who went to seek revenge on Guo Jing, but he was injured before he even met Guo Jing. He was simply overestimating himself!"

Just as Duan Zhengchun was refilling his wine cup, preparing to drink heartily, he suddenly heard voices behind him.

Several middle-aged men dressed in the style of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and江湖义气, a code of honor among江湖义气) sat around a table, seemingly drawn to the same topic, and began to discuss it.

"Master Guo is a chivalrous and righteous man who never does anything against his conscience. That young man must be from some crooked sect! If you ask me, we should nip him in the bud and prevent him from harming others!"

"Yes, Master Guo's enemy is definitely not a good person! I just wonder what that kid's background is..."

"I heard it's a young man surnamed Yang..."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun's expression suddenly changed. He abruptly stood up, walked straight to the group, and said in a deep voice, "Are you telling the truth?!"

Several martial arts practitioners who were whispering among themselves were startled by Duan Zhengchun's words and couldn't help but show their dissatisfaction.

"Who are you?! We don't know you, can't you see we're talking business?!"

"Go away!"

One of them gave Duan Zhengchun, who looked like a "young master," a cold look, waved his hand dismissively, and said impatiently.

But then a sharp pain shot through his wrist. His right hand, which he had just tried to pull back, was restrained by Duan Zhengchun and he was instantly unable to move, his face contorted in pain.

"Ah...what are you doing?! Let go!"

The man roared in pain, sweat beading on his forehead.

Seeing this, the other companions immediately stood up, but none of them dared to make the first move.

Ignoring the menacing stares of the others, Duan Zhengchun coldly looked at the man sitting in the chair, writhing in pain, and said in a deep voice, "What you were just discussing, is it true?!"

As he spoke, he increased the pressure of his five fingers once again.

"It's true...it's true!"

"Young master, please show mercy..."

The man let out a painful scream, finally giving in and pleading.

"What's that boy's name?!"

"Where did you go after you were injured?!"

Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and continued to press for answers.

"have no idea..."

"All we know is that his surname is Yang...we know nothing else..."

The man answered painfully, large beads of sweat dripping incessantly from his forehead.

Duan Zhengchun frowned slightly, shook off the man's wrist, and turned to walk towards his seat.

The middle-aged man who had suffered a loss gritted his teeth and rubbed his wrist. With a sinister glint in his eyes, he suddenly drew his weapon and slashed directly at Duan Zhengchun's back!

Duan Zhengchun didn't even turn his head, and casually slapped his palm backward.

With another scream, the man flew backward, crashing through a table before landing heavily on the ground.

Seeing this, the other companions glanced at Duan Zhengchun in horror, then turned and left without even checking whether their companion on the ground was alive or dead.

After returning to his seat, Duan Zhengchun frowned, raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, his brows full of worry.

"what happened?"

Xiaolongnu looked at Duan Zhengchun, who had suddenly become powerful, with a puzzled expression, and asked him softly.

"The person they're talking about is very likely Yang Guo."

Duan Zhengchun's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, both Xiaolongnu and Lu Wushuang's expressions changed.

"Immediately send a message by carrier pigeon, ordering the guards to investigate this matter thoroughly. I need to know the whole story within three days!"

Duan Zhengchun paused for a moment, looked up at Lu Wushuang, and said in a deep voice.

Lu Wushuang immediately agreed and got up to go downstairs.

"Don't worry, since he didn't die in the Beggars' Sect, it means he's still alive. We'll definitely find him."

Xiaolongnu took Duan Zhengchun's hand and gently comforted him.

Duan Zhengchun nodded and said nothing more. He couldn't help but regret not taking the opportunity to ask Guo Jing and Huang Rong about the cause of Yang Kang's death when they were in Huai'an County.

In fact, from the moment he met Huang Rong, he had already planned to resolve this grudge, but he was delayed by something and did not stay in Huai'an for too long.

...

Three days later.

A woman in green, holding a long sword, arrived at the inn where Duan Zhengchun and his companions were staying.

"I've met the sect master!"

Upon seeing Duan Zhengchun, the woman in green immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed.

"Any results?!"

Duan Zhengchun raised his hand in a gesture and then asked directly.

The woman in green slowly rose and said respectfully, "After summarizing the information sent back from various places, it has been confirmed that the person who went to the Beggars' Sect headquarters in Xiangyang to seek revenge on Guo Jing is none other than Yang Guo, the sect leader's disciple!"

"But Guo Jing and Huang Rong were not in Xiangyang at the time. Yang Guo was eager for revenge and got into a conflict with the Beggars' Clan. He was seriously injured by the Beggars' Clan's guardian elder."

"After that, Yang Guo left Xiangyang. The last place he appeared seems to be near Lingxi Valley, about a hundred miles away from Xiangyang City. I have already sent people to investigate!"

Upon hearing the woman in green's reply, Duan Zhengchun's expression instantly turned extremely solemn. Just as he had expected, the young man was indeed his only disciple.

But he didn't know why Yang Guo suddenly left Zhongnan Mountain, or why he went to the Beggars' Sect's territory alone.

In a way, he also bears some responsibility for this matter. He had promised Yang Guo that he would look into it, but he left Zhongnan Mountain not long after, and was gone for three years.

"Let's go. Now that we know the last place they were seen was in the direction of Lingxi Valley, we can still make it there in time."

Little Dragon Girl immediately stood up and said without hesitation.

She also had a good impression of Yang Guo, after all, he was Duan Zhengchun's only disciple.

Duan Zhengchun nodded, no longer hesitating, and immediately left the inn with Xiaolongnu and Lu Wushuang, heading straight for Lingxi Valley...
