step on mountains and rivers

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, Ichiro looked at the two in shock and thought to himself:

"It took only a short while to fight off all the bandits. Their martial arts seem to be really strong."

Ichiro thought about it, and said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Brother, let's burn the house down quickly, lest they come back."

"Well, before that, we still have some things to do. Ichiro, do you know where the bandits will put the food?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"It should be in the granary. The daimyo opened a warehouse to help us before. I know where it is. Come with me." Ichiro said and led Tang Qingfeng towards the small house on the left.

When the three of them came to the granary, Ichiro saw that the door was unlocked, so he opened the door suspiciously and entered.

Suddenly a person sprang out from behind the door, quickly grabbed Ichiro, held a short knife against his neck, and threatened Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu:

"Don't come here, I'll kill him if I come here!"

Tang Qingfeng glanced at him, and quickly released the folding fan, sealing his throat with one.Ichiro only felt a gust of wind blowing, and was pulled behind him by Tang Qingfeng.

Tang Qingfeng retracted his fan, looked into the dark and said coldly:

"Come out if you don't want to die."

The person in the dark obediently walked out slowly.He was carrying a big box and a dilapidated big hat. He looked at Tang Qingfeng with a trembling body and said:

"My lord, please don't kill me. I'm just a wandering businessman. I happened to pass by here today, just wanting to pick up some bargains. I'm not with bandits."

Tang Qingfeng looked at him and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he asked:

"Are you a merchant? What's your name? What do you sell? Where do you come from?"

The merchant listened to his question and replied:

"My name is Xiaochun. I sell some groceries. I'm from Kinai."

"Kinai. Have you ever been to Pingjing City?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"I've been there, my hometown is in Kinei." Xiaochun replied.

"Well, I happen to have something to go to Pingjing City, you take me there." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." Xiaochun replied.

After Xiaochun finished speaking, Tang Qingfeng glanced at him and ignored him, turned around and said to Ichiro:

"Ichiro, go and call everyone to share the food."

"Okay." Ichiro nodded and ran back quickly.

After Ichiro left, Tang Qingfeng asked the businessman:

"This is where?"

"Osumi." The businessman replied.

"Well, let's go to Fenghou and take a boat to Pingjing City." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." The businessman replied.

Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu waited here for a long time. Seeing that Ichiro came with the villagers holding torches, they took out the food and distributed it to everyone.

After thanking everyone, they returned to the village with food.

After Ichiro thanked the two, he also left with the villagers.

Seeing everyone leave, Tang Qingfeng said to Li Zhenwu:

"Zhenwu, Pingjing City is the big city of Yingzhou, so it's convenient to inquire about the news. Lu Qing and the others should also go. We will rest here tonight and leave for Pingjing City tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Zhenwu replied.

"En." Tang Qingfeng nodded, looked at Xiaochun and said, "You won't sneak away while we're sleeping, will you?"

"This, how could this happen?" Seeing that Tang Qingfeng saw through her thoughts, Xiao Chun tried her best to cover up.

Tang Qingfeng glanced at him, quickly tapped his acupoints, stuffed a black object into his mouth, forced him to swallow, then untied his acupoints and said in a cold voice:

"What you took just now is a kind of poison, called Rotten Bone Pill, which is a strange poison of Dazhou. I calculated that seven days are enough to go from Dasumi to Pingjing City. It just so happens that the onset of this poison is also seven days. If seven days When it arrives, I will naturally give you the antidote.

Of course, you can leave if you want, but if the medicine takes effect and turns into pus and dies, you can't blame me. "

Xiao Chun was so frightened by Tang Qingfeng's words that he trembled, and repeatedly assured:

"My lord, don't worry, I will never run away, I will send you to Pingjing City as quickly as possible."

"That's good." Tang Qingfeng glanced at him, walked to Li Zhenwu and sat down.

Li Zhenwu glanced at the shivering Xiaochun, and asked Tang Qingfeng softly:

"Brother Tang, when did you bring the poison?"

Seeing Li Zhenwu's doubts, Tang Qingfeng leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Zhenwu, that's dried plums."

"........." Li Zhenwu was speechless for a while after hearing Tang Qingfeng's answer.

Seeing him stunned, Tang Qingfeng smiled and said, "Sorry, I fooled Zhenwu too."

"Brother Tang..." Li Zhenwu was speechless.

After a night, Li Zhenwu got up early to meditate, and Tang Qingfeng was discussing the route with Xiaochun.

Xiaochun looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"My lord, we set off from Osumi, pass through Hyuga, and arrive at Bungo, where we can take a boat to Pingjing City. It's just that Yingzhou is not peaceful recently, and many famous names have emerged from various places. The emperor is sending troops to encircle and suppress wars everywhere. It's very chaotic. Let's be careful."

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng replied.

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, Xiaochun took a look at his clothes and felt that they were very eye-catching, so he suggested to him:

"My lord, your clothes are too eye-catching, you can change into the coarse cloth clothes below. Let's keep a low profile and avoid a lot of trouble."

"Okay." After Tang Qingfeng returned, Xiaochun brought the box in front of him. He looked at the box, took out an old tattered shirt, nodded with satisfaction, and changed it on.

Xiaochun looked at Tang Qingfeng who was changing clothes, his eyebrows twitched, and he thought to himself, "Okay, it's so against peace, it's better not to change." '

"What's wrong?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"No, it's nothing." Xiao Chun didn't dare to tell the truth, who knows what kind of temper this lord has, he might have killed him accidentally.

Tang Qingfeng glanced at him and ignored him.After taking a piece of clothing from the box, he went out to look for Li Zhenwu.

In the courtyard, Tang Qingfeng saw Li Zhenwu meditating, so he stood aside and waited.

After a while, Li Zhenwu opened his eyes and saw Tang Qingfeng standing in front of him wearing a tattered and patched clothes. He suddenly felt disobedient, so he said in surprise:

"Brother Tang, this is?"

"Xiaochun said that the clothes are too eye-catching, so I suggest you change them to avoid trouble." Tang Qingfeng smiled and handed the coarse green clothes to Li Zhenwu.

"Oh, good." Li Zhenwu took the clothes and changed them.

After Li Zhenwu changed his clothes, Tang Qingfeng looked at him and said softly:

"True martial arts."

"Huh?" Li Zhenwu asked.

"Coarse clothes, very beautiful." Tang Qingfeng laughed.

"........." Li Zhenwu was speechless.

He looked at the rags and clothes on Tang Qingfeng's body, and the more he looked at them, the more inconsistent they became.That fair and handsome face didn't fit well with the tattered clothes, it was too eye-catching.

"Brother Tang, you can change it." Li Zhenwu said slowly.

"?? Huh? Zhenwu, what's wrong?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Clothes, not suitable." Li Zhenwu said.

"I think it's quite suitable. I chose this dress specially, how is it? Isn't the beggar style particularly low-key?" Tang Qingfeng smiled.

"Brother Tang......" Li Zhenwu said speechlessly.

Seeing him like this, Tang Qingfeng asked, "Don't Zhenwu like it? Then I'll change it."

Tang Qingfeng turned around and walked back after speaking.

Inside the house, Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng, who was rummaging carefully, and found it cute. Then he was frightened by his own thoughts, and hurriedly looked away.

Tang Qingfeng chose for a while, and after changing into an indigo coarse cloth shirt, he looked at Li Zhenwu and asked:

"Zhenwu, how about this one?"

Li Zhenwu asked, looked at him and nodded.

Seeing that he was satisfied, Tang Qingfeng smiled and said, "As long as Zhenwu likes it."

"........." Li Zhenwu was speechless.

"Zhenwu, let's go." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied.

After Li Zhenwu finished speaking, Tang Qingfeng said to Xiaochun, "Let's go."

"Okay, my lord." Xiaochun said and left the place with the two of them, heading towards Pingjing City.

On the way, Xiaochun asked curiously:

"My lords, what are you going to do in Pingjing City? I am familiar with Pingjing City, so I may be able to help you."

"Oh? Then have you ever heard of a craftsman named Zhuge?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Zhuge, Zhuge...... I seem to have heard of this name somewhere." Xiaochun thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, by the way, you are not talking about Zhuge. Master Qingyuan!!"

"You know him?" Tang Qingfeng asked in surprise when he saw Zhuge Qingyuan's full name.

Xiaochun shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just heard about it. It is said that this master craftsman can forge extremely sharp weapons, and can also create a knife that calls lightning, which is very powerful."

"The Knife of Lightning?" Tang Qingfeng thought for a while, and said to Li Zhenwu, "Zhenwu."

"Well, energy conversion." Li Zhenwu replied.

Listening to what the two said, Xiaochun was at a loss.

Li Zhenwu looked at Xiaochun and said:

"Do you know where the master craftsman is?"

Xiaochun thought for a while and said: "Half a month ago, when I was in Pingjing City, I heard that he was there, it seemed to be on the side of Huajie, but now I don't know where he is."

"Flower Street? Is it the name of the tavern?" Li Zhenwu asked.

"My lord doesn't know Huajie?" Xiaochun looked at Li Zhenwu suspiciously.

"I don't know." Li Zhenwu shook his head.

Seeing his answer like this, Xiaochun said:

"Flower Street is a place where men drink and have fun. I used to go there often, but it was too expensive."

"Oh." Li Zhenwu nodded as if realizing something.He thought to himself: "It looks similar to a tavern, but the name is different."

Seeing that he understood clearly, Xiaochun said:

"My lord, are you going to Flower Street? I can take you there."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Li Zhenwu replied.

"My lord, you're welcome, just buy me a drink." Xiao Chun said.

"Okay." Li Zhenwu nodded in response.

"Then thank you sir." Xiaochun said happily.

"You're welcome." Li Zhenwu replied.

Xiaochun continued to lead the way, and Li Zhenwu walked back to Tang Qingfeng.

Seeing Li Zhenwu walking back, Tang Qingfeng smiled meaningfully at him.

Seeing Tang Qingfeng chuckle, Li Zhenwu asked puzzledly, "Brother Tang?"

Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu and explained slowly:

"Zhenwu, he just asked you to go shopping in Hualou, and you agreed."

"What!!!" Li Zhenwu was shocked.

Xiao Chun heard the voice, turned her head, looked at the two people suspiciously and said:

"Sir, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Tang Qingfeng said, "Where are we?"

"It should be almost to Hyuga, and you can see the main city of Hyuga through the mountain ahead." Xiaochun replied.

"Okay, let's continue on our way." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Good sir." Xiao Chun replied, then turned around and continued to lead the way.

Behind Xiaochun, Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng and said softly:

"Brother Tang, is Flower Street a flower building?"

"En." Tang Qingfeng nodded: "Zhenwu, there are many beautiful oirans in Huajie. As long as you have money, you can choose whatever you want, and let them do anything."

"......." Li Zhenwu was speechless, and then slowly said: "Brother Tang, why are you... so clear."

Tang Qingfeng wanted to make a joke, but was stunned for a moment by Li Zhenwu's question. He looked at Li Zhenwu's slightly jealous face and smiled slightly:

"Zhenwu, do you want to know?"

Li Zhenwu looked at him, turned his head away, and remained silent.

Seeing him like this, Tang Qingfeng felt very cute, so he pretended to be mysterious and said:

"Zhenwu, I have been to Pingjing City from the sea road before, and I often go to Huajie with my friends......"

Hearing this, Li Zhenwu turned his head to look at Tang Qingfeng, only to see him smiling at him and saying, "Talk about business."

Tang Qingfeng said, looked at Li Zhenwu and said seriously:

"Zhenwu, I'm not interested in the oiran." He paused and said softly to Li Zhenwu, "I'm only interested in Zhenwu."
