Before the sky turned dark, Zhou Qingfeng covered his butt and limped back to the horse market outside Fushun Pass. Actually, he didn't run very far when he ran around in a panic during the day. He came back so late because he walked too slowly and limped too much — there was no helping it, his butt really hurt. It really hurt, so much that he couldn't stop his tears from falling.
In Zhou Qingfeng's absence, He Zhuo was in charge of all the operatives in the horse market. She took over Ma Chengta's warehouse as a stronghold and ordered her busy subordinates to move the goods like worker ants. When she saw Zhou Qingfeng, she smiled and said, "Little rascal, your Senior Apprentice Brother came back a long time ago. Where did you go? I sent many people to look for you, but they couldn't find you. Why are you crying like this? What happened to your butt? "
"I was beaten by someone." Zhou Qingfeng suffered an unexpected calamity. His buttocks were almost smashed to pieces. He cried so much that his tears almost dried up on the way back.
"What are you holding in your hand?" He Zhuo asked.
"Ointment. The person who beat me gave it to me." Zhou Qingfeng looked at the small porcelain bottle in his hand. "Please find a maid to apply the ointment for me. It hurts like hell."
He Zhuo took the ointment and opened it to smell it. There was a cool mint smell. She didn't call for a maid and just threw Zhou Qingfeng onto the horse's back. She pulled down his pants and revealed his red butt. "Tsk tsk tsk … Who beat you? Both of your buttocks are purple. You can't even ride a mule like this. "
Zhou Qingfeng didn't care about losing face and begged with tears in his eyes, "Don't say anymore. Please help me apply the ointment and get me a stretcher. I'm really going to die. "
After the ointment was applied, his burning butt felt much better. Zhou Qingfeng's face didn't look as bitter as a little old man's. Then he was placed in the warehouse. Lying on the makeshift stretcher, he asked weakly, "What's the situation now?"
He Zhuo was in a great mood regarding the current situation. He almost laughed out loud. "Ma Chengta has escaped. He won't appear again until tomorrow. The Ming Army in Fu Shun guarded behind the wall and did not dare to come out, allowing us to act freely in the horse market.
With no one to stop them, your caravan became completely disobedient. They even called out the whole village to rob the horse market. I had to kill a lot of people to make them listen to me. I bet they hate me now. "
"A bunch of hoodlums and proletarians. Those guys are unorganized and undisciplined bumpkins. They won't listen unless they kill the chicken to scare the monkey." Zhou Qingfeng could imagine the chaos when hundreds of people went out of control. He was even glad that he wasn't there. Otherwise, he would be the one who gave the order to maintain discipline. "He Zhuo, have you packed the weapons and armor you wanted?"
"It's done. We're on our way. Tonight, the entire caravan will depart through the night. The Yang brothers you subdued have pointed us towards a mountain path. We'll cross the side wall and go to the Iron Mountains first. We'll arrive at the Northern Pass of Kaiyuan in about three or four days. "He Zhuo said.
Ah … The most important matter was settled. Zhou Qingfeng let out a long sigh of relief. He asked again, "What about the woman in black who fought with you at noon?"
"Oh … You mean Sister Qingying of the Yuan family?" He Zhuo called this name very affectionately. "She's still a little inexperienced. I chatted with her to stall for time. When Manguerdai came to help, she could only escape. Hahaha … That girl knows how to adapt to the situation. It's really rare to see a girl as outstanding as her in the various Jurchen tribes. "
Yuan Qingying? Zhou Qingfeng asked for the name and silently noted it down.
"What about you?" He Zhuo asked jokingly, "Your Senior Yang Jian said you were captured by an ugly woman. He also said that you're most likely dead. I think you're fine except for a spanking on the butt. "
Before Zhou Qingfeng came back, He Zhuo was worried about him for the whole afternoon. But now he was full of relaxed laughter. Zhou Qingfeng shook his head slightly. "Don't mention it. I was really unlucky today. But it's good enough that I'm still alive. Next time … Next time, I'll stay away from that big-breasted girl. "
Because of his "pa pa pa" explanation, Zhou Qingfeng's butt was severely spanked by Ye Na. But after the spanking, Ye Na still let him go and even gave him a bottle of medicine. After that, Ye Na fiercely warned Zhou Qingfeng not to say such shameless and vulgar words to other girls. Otherwise, she would beat him up every time she saw him.
This kind of warning was not binding, so Zhou Qingfeng obediently nodded and agreed. Now that he was back and the weapons and armors He Zhuo wanted were in his hands, he didn't want to care about the villagers anymore. He basically let He Zhuo do whatever he wanted. The last thing was … "He Zhuo, you have to tell me, who can cure my master."
"You really don't want to go with me to Yehe Tribe? At least go with the transport team to Kaiyuan. " He Zhuo actually knew that Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to go with him, but he still couldn't help squatting in front of Zhou Qingfeng and asked.
Hehe … Zhou Qingfeng laughed for a while. He raised his head from the stretcher, spread his hands and said, "What else can I do in my current state? I've arranged the rest of the journey. With you and Mangurdai's team of fifty horses, there won't be any problems. And you know that my problem hasn't been solved yet. I have to cure my cheap master first. "
Zhou Qingfeng was still a crippled cultivator, relying on the spiritual power stored in a top-grade East Pearl to support himself. He had already done what he promised He Zhuo. "Now you have to keep your promise. Tell me, where is the person who can save my master?"
He Zhuo stretched out his hand and stroked Zhou Qingfeng's hair. After pondering for a while, he said, "There is a cultivator called Guo Buyi in Fushun, nicknamed 'Living Impermanence'. Guo Buyi is good at mechanical techniques, but his medical skills are the real best. It is said that his cultivation is extremely high, but he has been living in seclusion. No one knows why he stays in Fushun, a border town.
But to say that he is eccentric is not true. He has lived in Fushun for many years and has traveled almost all of Liaodong. He has made friends with people all over the country, and he has also stayed in our Yehe Tribe for a few months. It is said that Nurhachi also tried to recruit him, but he neither agreed nor refused. It is very strange. "
'Living Impermanence' Guo Buyi?
Isn't this the owner of the bookstore that Zhou Qingfeng went to when he copied the cultivation books? Although he didn't see Guo Buyi in person, the puppet bird and the girl of the Guo family left a deep impression. The 'Open Heavenly Eye' spell he learned was given to him by the girl of the Guo family.
"Someone, call my senior brother here."
After a while, Yang Jian walked into the room where Zhou Qingfeng was. "Junior brother, you are not dead?!"
"Isn't that obvious?" Zhou Qingfeng was not in the mood to talk about how he was not dead. He directly asked, "Senior brother, when you and master went to find a doctor, did you look for Guo Buyi?"
"'Living Impermanence' Guo Buyi? This person is very famous in Fushun. We went to find him on the first day we went to find a doctor, and then we went to see him several times. Unfortunately, either we didn't see him or he refused to see us. Master was very angry because of this, but there was nothing he could do, "Yang Jian said." Why did you suddenly ask about him? "
"He Zhuo's sister said that this Guo Buyi should be able to save master," Zhou Qingfeng said.
"Really?" Yang Jian immediately looked at He Zhuo, but his eyes were dim. "But how can we get Guo Buyi to save master? You know, we have been there several times before, but we didn't even see him. "
Zhou Qingfeng also looked at He Zhuo, but He Zhuo also shook his head and said, "I am only sure that Guo Buyi should be able to cure your master's injury, but how to convince him … is up to you. Guo Buyi has a strange temper. If he likes you, he will help you even if you don't beg him. But if he hates someone, he won't even bother to talk to them. "
Obviously, Gu Yuanwei and Yang Jian were the kind of people who would not bother to talk to others.
"Since we know that Guo Buyi can be saved, it is good news. Let me try again, "Zhou Qingfeng said while lying on the stretcher." How do you know if you don't try? "
In short, Zhou Qingfeng still wanted to go back to Fushun, even if the city was a dangerous place. He Zhuo didn't stop him. He just ordered the horse market's transport team to leave with the Mongolian horse team.
It was already dark when they left. Hundreds of torches lit up the ground, and the procession continued to move forward. Zhou Qingfeng found his mule and said goodbye pitifully while lying on the mule's back. In the night wind, Mangurdai didn't say anything, and He Zhuo didn't show any emotion. They just exchanged a few words and agreed to meet again in the future.
As for when that would be, no one knew.
"Really, we helped them so much, and they didn't even say thank you," Yang Jian complained to He Zhuo and the others who were leaving. "They even gave us an uncertain message. They didn't leave anything."
"What do you want them to leave? He Zhuo has already given us a few hundred taels of silver. Even if I gave you a mountain of gold and silver, would you be able to take it away? "Zhou Qingfeng was also watching in the night wind. He felt an indescribable sadness because he knew He Zhuo's fate.
Speaking of silver, Yang Jian complained, "It's only a few hundred taels of silver. Those weapons and armors are worth at least a few thousand taels of silver. Ma Chengta's payment is still there, and the goods from other peddlers in the horse market are also worth a lot. Junior Brother, with your wisdom and planning, can't you get half of it? "
"That's still half of it. Why are you complaining?" Zhou Qingfeng retorted to Yang Jian in a neither soft nor hard way. He pulled the mule's reins and urged the big animal to leave. "Let's go back to Master's place. We still have to think about how to find Guo Buyi."
Yang Jian didn't want to talk anymore. He was a person who had no ideas, so he could only follow Zhou Qingfeng and leave. But after a few steps, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the direction He Zhuo left. The two brothers stopped again. Yang Jian muttered to himself in confusion, "Is that Lady Ye He back?"
It was not He Zhuo who came back on horseback, but her maid. The maid dismounted and walked to Zhou Qingfeng's side. She said to Yang Jian, "My mistress ordered me to come and have a few words with Young Master Zhou."
Yang Jian was surprised, "If you want to say it, then say it. Can I still stop you?"
Zhou Qingfeng understood quickly and said to Yang Jian in a bad mood, "What she means is for you to go away. These words are only for me to hear."
What …? Yang Jian felt inexplicable. He suddenly pointed to Zhou Qingfeng and asked, "Junior Brother, when did you hook up with that Lady Ye He? You are only eight years old now! Do you have an affair that you want to talk about behind my back? "
"It's none of your business. If I tell you to go, then go." Zhou Qingfeng blasted Yang Jian away and asked the maid who came back, "What did He Zhuo want you to say?"
The maid took out a small bag from her chest. After opening it, there was a necklace with a stone strung on it. "This is what my mistress has always worn. She specifically asked me to send it to Young Master Zhou."
No way, right? Why did she send me a necklace when she was full? I am not a woman. I don't have the habit of wearing a necklace.
But the maid didn't say anything and hung the necklace around Zhou Qingfeng's neck. "The stone on this necklace is called 'Listening Wind Stone'. It is my mistress's family heirloom. Her ears have always been sharp. She can hear the movements around her from far away. Others think that she was born like this, but in fact, it is the ability of this stone. "
Ah … This is a big gift.
"This is the Ye He Tribe's family heirloom. It is not good for me to accept it." It would be a lie to say that Zhou Qingfeng didn't like it. When he wore this thing on his body, he immediately felt that the sounds in his ears were a lot more and clearer. But this gift was really too heavy. It must be known that he had only given a bronze telescope with very ordinary performance.
But the maid didn't ignore his words and continued, "Mistress said that Young Master Zhou is not an ordinary person. If she was older, she would be willing to break this engagement and go with you. It is a pity that you are too young to support a career on your own. But she believes that Young Master Zhou will not be a little slippery for the rest of his life. But she has no way of staying by Young Master's side. "
This …. Zhou Qingfeng suddenly felt an indescribable sourness in his heart. He was speechless. He knew He Zhuo's fate. He knew her ending. But right now, he really didn't have the ability to change it.
The maid suddenly approached Zhou Qingfeng and kissed him on the cheek. She giggled and said, "Mistress asked me to kiss you on her behalf." After the first kiss, the maid laughed again and kissed him again. "Young Master's face is very smooth. This was kissed by this maid."
After two kisses, the maid was probably a little shy. She turned around and mounted the horse. Pulling the reins, she quickly left. Hearing the other party's horse hooves getting smaller and smaller, Zhou Qingfeng suddenly sat up straight and shouted, "Tell your mistress that she must live past next year. She must live past next year.
If she has any difficulties, come find me. I will definitely help her. I will help her fight Nurhachi. Others can't help, but I can. Hey …. Hey …. Did you hear me? Tell her not to die! He Zhuo, don't die! "
