There used to be a martial arts gym in Jiangyu City, named Hongyi.

The Hongyi Martial Arts Museum originally belonged to a local martial arts family. After the ban on martial arts, the owner of the family sold the two-storey single building of the martial arts hall to the Chamber of Commerce and operated it as a commercial firm for several years. Because the location is too remote, the business has not been good.A few years later, the store manager moved with his family, and the single building was abandoned again.The chamber of commerce simply handed over the key to Master Bo, and used it as a warehouse for hoarding colored glaze for a while.

A few days ago, Lord Baihou went to the capital and just transported away a batch of glazed handicrafts, so the single building was vacant again.

Qu Ying brought Di Dongqing here.

Di Dongqing looked up and saw a brand-new signboard on the door beam, with four free and easy characters “Hongyi Medical Center” written on it. Several long-term workers were setting up ladders to reinforce the rivets on the wooden brackets on the left and right sides of the signboard.

Qu Ying led Di Dongqing into the door, walked around inside and out, and asked, “What else do you need to buy? Just tell me, and I’ll send someone to do it.”

Di Dongqing glanced around briefly, the room has been tidy and clean, the tables, chairs and beds are brand new and spotless.It’s much better than the side courtyard of Baifu, and it’s better than the old houses in the deserted villages along the way, eating and sleeping in the open.

However, looking at the cold and stiff tables and chairs, he didn’t feel any disturbance in his heart, he just replied: “It’s enough, I live alone, I don’t need much ostentation.”

When he said this, his expression couldn’t help turning dark.

In the past, no matter where he wandered, he always lived with the master. No matter how shabby the house was, it always had warmth and never made him feel cold.

Now he finally understands that the temperature does not come from the house, but from the people around him.

It’s a pity that that person is no longer by my side, he is in the bright pavilion, but the master is in the dank dungeon.

Qu Yingying saw what was on his mind, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “I can only wrong you for a few days. But it won’t be deserted here for too long. I have already spread rumors in the Jianghu, saying that you can heal Fuyao Qingfeng’s poison also hints at your identity, don’t worry, someone will come here soon.”

Di Dongqing asked in surprise, “Are there many Jiang Hu people nearby?”

Qu Ying nodded and said: “Master Hou has always been magnanimous to people in the world. When the Dingguo Army came to conduct a thorough investigation, he still secretly protected many people who practiced martial arts. Those people are grateful for the care of Master Hou, so It will not easily cause disasters, and the two sides have lived in peace all these years.”

Di Dongqing said: “I’ve traveled all the way, and everywhere the government oppresses the people is full of evil things. An official like Lord Bo is really rare.”

Qu Ying said: “That’s natural, within the Kingdom of Yu, you probably won’t be able to find another Jiang Yu.”

When he said this, his tone was brisk and somewhat proud.

Di Dongqing was suddenly curious, so he poured two bowls of tea with a brand new tea set, invited the other party to sit down, offered tea, and asked, “Mr. Qu, you are very familiar with people from Jianghu.”

Qu Ying said: “To tell you the truth, I was not a decent person before.”

Di Dongqing was surprised: “That’s it?”

Qu Ying shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s the kind of people that even people in the Jianghu despise – thieves.”

“This…” Di Dongqing was startled, “Forgive me, you really don’t look like you.”

Qu Ying smiled lightly and said: “That happened many years ago. My home is in a small village in northern Xinjiang. Later, barbarians invaded and burned my village. I joined the bandits nearby and lived by looting everywhere.”

Di Dongqing said: “It turns out that your home is in the north, no wonder the accent is not quite similar to the residents here.”

Qu Ying took a sip of tea, put the teacup aside, waved her hand and said, “Hey, I still have a home. Now my home is Bai Mansion. I will go wherever the master is.”

Di Dongqing was even more curious: “You are a rogue, how did you become the bodyguard of Master Bai?”

Qu Ying said: “I’m ashamed to say that I went to steal Master Bo before, and I wanted to do it in the dead of night, but I didn’t expect him to spend the whole night reviewing official documents with a light on, and I was caught by him. Sent to jail, but gave me a job and a shelter.”

“So that’s how it is,” Di Dongqing was fascinated by hearing it, “Master Bai has such courage, so he must be very skilled in martial arts.”

But Qu Ying shook his head and said: “You guessed it wrong. The master is a literati, and he is a speech officer. He can’t even hold a knife, let alone kill someone.”

Di Dongqing was surprised: “Really? But the young master of the Bai family can lead the army.”

Qu Ying said: “It’s not surprising. Although the master doesn’t practice martial arts, he hopes that the two young masters can practice martial arts, so he invited a master from the Jianghu people.”

“That Mr. Shen Zhaoyun?”

“Yes, back then, I was the one who recommended this person.”

“May I ask what kind of person Mr. Shen is?”

“A strange man.”

“A strange man?”

“You also know that in the imperial court, the prince had a clear-cut party and was friendly with the martial arts people, but Emperor Jian always disapproved of his actions. Your father was also forced to be named a general because of his hard work and high ranking. Among the rest of the people, there are really a small number of people who are able to advance to the ranks and enter the official career.”

Di Dongqing nodded, of course he knew this.It was for this reason that his father especially hoped that he would study hard so that he could become an official and not have to endure hardships in the arena.

Qu Ying went on to say: “So, even if you become the master of Master Bo’s son, you won’t get any status. It is a thankless job. If you change it to someone else, you have to think about it, but Shen Daxian just drank it. The master agreed with a bowl of wine.”

“Shen Daxian?”

“Originally, he should be called a hero, but Shen Zhaoyun has always been independent and eclectic, so others call him a great fairy.”

Di Dongqing nodded and said, “From your description, it’s a very appropriate title.”

Qu Ying responded with a smile, but quickly said sadly: “It’s a pity that such a strange person can’t stand up to the general trend after all. After the prince was killed, King Chang’s party members rose rapidly, and the master felt that his future was worrying, so he asked him to leave first to avoid the limelight. He left In a few days, the master’s worries were fulfilled, many martial arts people were purged, and even officials like Hou Ye were degraded, only he escaped. No one knows where he went after that.”

After listening to his narration, Di Dongqing finally sorted out the ins and outs, and finally understood the reason why the Bai family brothers searched for teachers everywhere. No wonder Bai Xiuchuan even dared to go to hell in exchange for news.

Although the Bai family is a court family, the son of Lord Bai has the character of a Jianghu man, which is not a bad thing.

The rivers and lakes and courts do not necessarily have to be separated by Jing and Wei, nor do they have to be far apart.

Thinking of this, he sincerely said with emotion: “I hope they can reunite as master and apprentice as soon as possible.”

Qu Ying drank the last sip of tea, got up and walked to his side, patted his shoulder heavily, and said loudly: “Young man, the hope is pinned on you.”

Di Dongqing was startled for a moment, then nodded, the heavy palm on his shoulder made him feel heavy.

Qu Ying had already let go of his shoulders, turned around and said, “Then I will take my leave first.”

“Wait a minute.” Di Dongqing called to him, and said with difficulty, “My master is not in good health. I have some medicine here. Can you bring it to him for me?” Seeing that the other party was hesitant, he added, “He Now that you have promised to go to prison, it is not a threat, is it?”

Qu Ying’s gaze softened, and he sighed, “You misunderstood, I’m not suspicious of him, on the contrary, I’m doing it for his benefit.”

Di Dongqing looked at him blankly.

He continued: “Actually, your master is also like me. He is a sincerely repentant person. No matter what he has done in the past, he still wants to atone for his sins with his body. If he does not atone for his sins, he will have no face to meet the gods.”

Di Dongqing bit her lips involuntarily.

“I’ll tell you one more thing. Even His Royal Highness was unwilling to lock him in when he saw the prison, but he insisted on going, and no one else could persuade him. Since you have been with him as a mentor, if you still read For his kindness, why not let him be fulfilled.”

“Fulfillment…”

Di Dongqing murmured, was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

Qu Ying rubbed his shoulder again, gave him a relieved look, then turned and left.
