Listening to this deafening bellow by Qiao Feng, Shan Zheng all of the sudden felt dizzy, stumbled and was unable to face firmly on his ft. The extraordinary folks couldn’t assist however take a number of steps backward both. Shan Xiaoshan rushed up from one aspect and thrust straight ahead together with his saber.

The tip of the saber was lower than 1 chi (33.33 cm) away from Qiao Feng’s chest however he had no intention of resisting. Seeing that, and never having the center to look on, the folks from the Beggar Society corresponding to Elder Wu and Bai Shijing all closed their eyes.

Impulsively, there was a ‘hu’ sound in mid air, an individual leaped down in an exceptionally speedy trend and bumped themselves on Shan Xiaoshan’s metal saber simply in time. Shan Xiaoshan was unable to face up to this nice power due to this fact his arm dropped. Amidst the simultaneous shocked exclamations by the extraordinary folks, one other individual jumped down in an equally speedy method however their head went forward of their ft. This individual ran into the pinnacle of Shan Xiaoshan simply in time. With a ‘peng’ sound the tops of two skulls hit towards one another and the heads of each folks have been burst open on the identical time.

Solely now did everybody see clearly that the two individuals who had simply successively leaped down have been the individuals who had been guarding on the roof to forestall Qiao Feng from escaping. However that they had been captured and thrown down like missiles by somebody. The corridor was instantly plunged into chaos with everybody exclaiming and shouting. Instantly a protracted rope was flung down from a nook of the roof with fierce power and swept horizontally in direction of the pinnacle of everybody. When the extraordinary folks raised their weapons to dam the lengthy rope, the tip of it all of the sudden turned again. It then wound round Qiao Feng’s waist and instantly lifted him up.

At this second, the three wounds on Qiao Feng’s physique have been bleeding profusely and his left hand which was carrying A’Zhu now not had the slightest power, therefore when he was wound round by the lengthy rope, A’Zhu instantly rolled down on the bottom. Everybody noticed that on the different finish of the lengthy rope was a person in black who was standing on the roof and had an imposing stature. His face was being coated with black fabric with solely his eyes proven.

That man clasped Qiao Feng to his aspect utilizing his left arm, flung the lengthy rope and made it wind round a really excessive flagpole outdoors the doorway of Juxian Manor. The extraordinary folks shouted loudly. In a really quick time, an important number of missiles corresponding to metal darts, sleeve-hidden arrows, flying knives, iron awls, flying-locust stones, and hand-swung arrows have been thrown at Qiao Feng and that man. That gritty man in black pulled the lengthy rope, leisurely acquired off the bottom and landed on the highest of the flagpole. Teng-teng, pai-pai, ca-ca sounds have been heard constantly, dozens of missiles had hit the highest of the flagpole. Everybody solely noticed that the lengthy rope was flung from the highest of flagpole and wound round an enormous tree which was 8 or 9 zhang (3.333 m) away. Clasping Qiao Feng, that man swung off the highest of the flagpole. Immediately he already handed that large tree and landed on a spot which was 10 zhang away from the flagpole on the bottom. He then flung the lengthy rope once more, winding it round one other distant large tree. After hoisting and touchdown on this method a number of instances, he already disappeared into skinny air.

The extraordinary folks gasped with astonishment and checked out one another. They solely heard horse hoofbeats galloping farther and farther, it was already too late to chase after him.

Qiao Feng had suffered severe accidents however he was nonetheless in full command of his senses. He had seen clearly each act and each transfer how this man had used the lengthy rope to save lots of himself from hazard, therefore he felt deeply grateful to him for saving his life and thought: ‘Flinging the rope precisely and powerfully like this, I can do as properly. However utilizing the lengthy rope as a weapon and swinging it to assault dozens of individuals on the identical time, I can not use this ‘Celestial Maiden Scatters Flowers’ stance in versatile whip methods as completely as he did.’

The person in black put him on horseback. Each of them rode the identical horse and went northward. That man took out jinchuang drugs (drugs for treating wounds attributable to steel objects) and utilized it onto Qiao Feng’s 3 wounds. Having shed an excessive amount of blood Qiao Feng was very weak, therefore he nearly handed out a number of instances, however each such time he took a breath and circulated his inside vitality, his spirit then rose again. That man urged the horse straight northwest. After going for some time, the trail turned increasingly more rugged, afterward, there was now not any path and the horse merely glided by stumbling over disorderly piles of rocks.

After going for greater than 1 hour additional, the horse may now not stroll, that man then carried Qiao Feng horizontally in his palms, acquired off the horse and climbed up a mountain peak. Qiao Feng’s physique was very heavy however that man carried him effortlessly. Regardless that they have been in a really precipitous place, he simply used the lengthy rope to wind round branches to leap over ravines. After that man had handed 8 harmful ravines in a row, he went down all the way in which, going deep into an abyss from which the sky couldn’t be seen. Lastly, he stopped and put Qiao Feng down.

Qiao Feng strained to face firmly and mentioned: ‘This nice debt of gratitude cannot be paid utilizing phrases. Type brother, may you please let Qiao Feng see your true face?’

That man’s pair of evident eyes roved over his face. After a very long time, he mentioned: ‘Within the cave, there’re sufficient dry provisions to make use of in half a month. You keep right here to care in your accidents. The enemies will not have the ability to come right here.’

Qiao Feng replied: ‘Sure!’ and thought: ‘Listening to the voice of this man, it appears he isn’t younger anymore.’

That man sized Qiao Feng up for some time then all of the sudden waved his proper hand, with a ‘pai’ sound, he gave Qiao Feng a slap within the face. His motion was very quick, and firstly, Qiao Feng had not anticipated that the person would hit him, and secondly, this palm assault was executed extraordinarily brilliantly, due to this fact he was unable to dodge it.

That man adopted it up with the 2nd palm assault. The two palms assaults have been solely a flash aside, nevertheless as soon as Qiao Feng had this marginal period of time, how may he let the person hit him once more? However as a result of the person had saved his life, Qiao Feng didn’t wish to struggle him; furthermore he had no power to dodge, therefore he prolonged his left forefinger and put it subsequent to his personal cheek, pointing on the heart of the palm of that man.

This forefinger pointed on the ‘Laogong acupuncture level’ within the heart of that man’s palm; if this palm assault by him saved coming, then when the palm had not but reached Qiao Feng’s cheek, it could have already ran into the forefinger first. When the palm of that man’s was lower than 1 chi away from Qiao Feng’s cheek, he instantly turned it over and used the again of the hand to assault. This alteration of stances was executed exceptionally quick. Qiao Feng additionally in a short time moved the forefinger and pointed on the ‘Erjian acupuncture level’ on the again of the person’s hand.

That man let loose a stream of snickers, forcefully withdrew his proper hand then chopped horizontally together with his left hand. Qiao Feng prolonged his left forefinger and pointed on the ‘Houhuo acupuncture level’ on the sting of his palm. The arm of that man was all of the sudden lifted just a little bit however saved coming with no lower in momentum. Immediately, Qiao Feng moved his finger and pointed on the ‘Qiangu acupuncture level’ on the sting of that man’s palm. Immediately, the two palms of that man danced within the air, altering stances greater than 10 instances in a row. Qiao Feng solely defended and didn’t assault; his fingers have been at all times pointed in order that if the person hit him, the acupuncture factors on his palms would stumble upon the fingers first. That man had taken Qiao Feng without warning with the first palm assault and hit him, however after that he was unable to hit Qiao Feng once more. The two of them attacked and defended with out touching one another however each stance was a top-class martial arts ability that was not often seen at the moment.

After that man used the twentieth stance, seeing that Qiao Feng was nonetheless in a position to change stances very quick and find the acupuncture factors very precisely regardless of having suffered severe accidents, he all of the sudden withdrew his palms, jumped backward and mentioned: ‘Nobody is extra silly than you’re. I should not have saved you.’ Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘I am sincerely ready in your directions.’

That man scolded: ‘You stinking dumbass. Having practiced and grow to be unequaled in martial arts below heaven, why did you wanna waste your life for a skeletal chick? She is not your relative or good friend, did not do you any favor or have any relationship with you, and is not a beautiful lady both; she’s only a lowly slave lady, nothing extra. Why on Earth there’s such an fool such as you?’

Qiao Feng let loose a sigh and mentioned: ‘Savior, your criticisms are true. It was actually mindless of Qiao Feng to do that ineffective factor with my helpful physique. However at that second I could not maintain again my fury, my barbaric nature broke out so I wasn’t considering of the implications.’

That man mentioned: ‘Ha-ha, so it was due to the barbaric nature breaking out.’ He turned his head towards the sky and let loose a protracted stream of snickers.

Qiao Feng felt that there have been plenty of desolation and indignation in his lengthy stream of snickers. Instantly that man jumped to his ft and leaped out for greater than 1 zhang. With only a slight shake of his physique, he disappeared behind an enormous rock. Qiao Feng known as out: ‘Savior, savior!’ However he solely noticed that the person constantly leaped then went round previous a ravine, he was already very far. As quickly as Qiao Feng took a stride, he tottered. He rapidly stretched out his palms and put them towards the cliff to help his physique.

After composing himself, he circled and actually noticed a cave behind the stone wall. Supporting himself on the cliff, he slowly walked into the cave. He solely noticed plenty of dry provisions corresponding to cooked meat, roast rice, jujubes, peanuts, and dried fish placed on the bottom; what even higher was that there was an enormous jar of wine. When he opened the jar, the bouquet rushed into his nostril. He reached into the jar and took out a scoop of wine to drink. The wine had a candy style; it was a first-class wine. Qiao Feng felt grateful: ‘It is uncommon to see somebody as considerate as this savior is. He is aware of that I like consuming and even has wine for me in right here. It is onerous to go on the mountain paths but he carried this large jar of wine to right here. Did not this take an excessive amount of bother?’

The jinchuang drugs that man had utilized onto him was very efficient. At this second the injuries had already stopped bleeding. A number of shichen (1 shichen = 2 hours) later, the ache was step by step relieved. He was a sturdy man with a profound inside vitality and the injuries he had suffered have been merely exterior, due to this fact regardless that they weren’t minor accidents, after 7 or 8 days they have been already nearly half healed.

Throughout these 7 or 8 days, he solely considered 2 issues: ‘Who’s the enemy that harmed me? Who’s that savior?’ Each of those folks had very excellent martial arts, maybe not under these of his personal in any respect. In wulin, the individuals who possessed these expertise have been very uncommon and might be counted on the fingers of 1 hand. He bent his fingers and will rely each certainly one of them out, however after considering fastidiously he discovered that none of them was just like these 2 folks. It was comprehensible that he couldn’t guess who the enemy was, however as a result of he had exchanged 20 stances with the savior, he ought to have the ability to guess what college his martial arts belonged to. Nonetheless, all of the stances utilized by that man had been utterly regular but on the identical time had proven huge expertise of their simplicity, identical to the ‘Founder’s Lengthy Fist’ Qiao Feng himself had used at Juxian Manor, therefore the stances didn’t give away something about his id.

In 2 days, he already drank up that jar of wine. Enduring till the twentieth day, he felt that the injuries had 70% or 80% healed up. By now, his habit of wine had grow to be so sturdy that he may now not preserve enduring. Considering that he may already soar over the ravines with none problem, he went out of the cave and tramped over hills and dales to return to jianghu.

He thought: ‘A’Zhu has fallen into the palms of them. If she’s lifeless, then she’s already lifeless. If she’s nonetheless alive, there’s additionally no want for me to handle her once more. A very powerful and pressing factor in the mean time is discovering out what sort of man I’m. Dad, mother and grasp handed away in 1 day so the thriller of my origin has grow to be more durable to clear up. I have to go to the skin of Yanmen Move to see the writing left behind on that stone wall.’

After calculating, he went northwest. When arriving in a city, the first factor he did was consuming 20 bowls of wine. In solely 3 days, the remaining a number of taels of silver fragments have been all become good wine, which he drank till nothing left.

At the moment, Nice Track was ruling the Central Plains. It divided the nation into 15 areas. The primary capital was Daliang; Dongjing (the jap capital) was Kaifeng prefecture; Xijing (the western capital) was Luoyang in Henan prefecture; Nanjing (the southern capital) was Songzhou; Daming was Beijing (the northern capital, and NOT at present’s Beijing); in complete, there have been 4 regional capitals. For the second, Qiao Feng was in Ruzhou within the Xijing area. That day, when he acquired to Liang County, his silver had been used up; therefore he snuck within the county’s workplace and stole a number of hundred taels of silver from the general public treasury throughout the night time. On the way in which he ate and drank rather a lot; chickens, geese, fish, sorghum, and good wine all have been paid by authorities officers of Nice Track. Someday, he arrived in Daizhou within the Hedong area.

Yanmen Move was positioned 30 li (0.5 km) to the north of Daizhou on the rugged Yanmen path. Beforehand, when finishing up heroic deeds in jianghu, Qiao Feng had additionally been to right here. However at the moment, as a consequence of having necessary issues, he had gone previous it with out paying consideration. When he arrived in Daizhou, it was already early 11 a.m. He had a fast meal and drank round 10 bowls of wine within the metropolis then went out of it and headed north.

His steps have been quick due to this fact he traveled these 30 li in lower than 1 hour. When he had climbed up the mountain, he noticed that each the jap cliff and the western cliff have been excessive and steep; the trail between them was winding and rugged. This was actually a really harmful place. He thought: ‘Wild geese journey south and return north cannot fly over the excessive mountains, all of them gotta go between the two peaks, so this place is known as Yanmen (Wild Geese’s Gate). Immediately I got here right here from the south, if the writing on the stone wall states clearly that I am actually a Khitan then after I’m going out of Yanmen Move this time, I am going to endlessly grow to be a person within the North of the move and now not enter the move once more. I will be inferior to the wild geese that, as soon as yearly, go to the south from the north and return.’ Considering to right here, he couldn’t assist however really feel grieved.

Yanmen Move was an necessary army submit of Nice Track’s within the north. There have been greater than 40 passes in Shanxi, and Yanmen was probably the most imposing and safe one. Past a number of tens of li (0.5 km) outdoors the move was the Liao Empire. As a result of there was at all times a lot of troopers defending under the move, Qiao Feng thought if he went out by means of it, he would unavoidably be interrogated and examined by the guarding officers and troopers. Subsequently he made a detour by way of the excessive ridge within the west of the move.

After reaching the best peak, he scanned extensively round however noticed nothing apart from mountains and mountains, the towering Mt Wutai within the east, the Ningwu Mountain vary within the west, Mt Zhengyang and Mt Shigu standing upright within the south, and within the north being Mt Shuozhou and Mt Mayi. With seemingly boundless lengthy slopes and steep mountain sides mixed with huge lonely chilly forests, the scene was very gloomy. Qiao Feng remembered that whereas going previous Yanmen Move that 12 months he had heard his comrades say that Normal Li Mu of the State of Zhao throughout the Warring States Interval and Normal Zhi Du of the Han Dynasty each had garrisoned Yanmen to defend towards Xiongnu invasions. If he himself was actually Xiongnu and a Khitan descendant, then for the final 1000’s of years, the individuals who had been invading China all have been his ancestors.

He seemed on the terrain within the north and thought: ‘That day when folks corresponding to Chief Wang and Zhao Qiansun ambushed the Khitan warriors outdoors Yanmen Move, they will need to have chosen probably the most advantageous mountain slope inside greater than 10 li of right here. No place has higher terrain than the mountain slope within the nook to the northwest of right here does. Ten to at least one they arrange the ambush there.’

He rapidly ran down the mountain and went to that mountain slope. Instantly he felt a burst of causeless sorrow. He solely noticed that there was a big piece of rock on that mountain slope. Zhiguang dashi had mentioned the extraordinary folks of the Central Plains had hid behind a big rock and shot toxic missiles out. It appeared it was this massive piece of rock.

There was a deep ravine a number of steps outdoors the mountain path. Clouds and mists enveloped the ravine, making it unattainable for anybody to see the underside. Qiao Feng thought: ‘If Zhiguang dashi’s phrases are true, then after my mom was killed by them, my father jumped into the ravine to commit suicide from right here. After leaping into the mouth of the ravine, he could not bear to make me die with him so he tossed me up onto the physique of Chief Wang’s. He… what did he write on the stone wall?’

Qiao Feng circled and seemed on the cliff on the right-hand aspect, solely seeing that it was naturally flat and shiny, however proper in the midst of the large stone wall, there have been filled with cuts attributable to axes and chisels. Clearly, somebody had intentionally scraped away the writing that had been left behind.

Qiao Feng stood in a trance in entrance of the stone wall then all of the sudden he couldn’t chorus from getting livid. He solely needed to brandish a saber and lift his palms to bloodbath, however he all of the sudden remembered 1 matter: ‘Once I left the Beggar Society, I broke Shan Zheng’s metal saber and vowed that it did not matter if I used to be a Han or a Khitan, I undoubtedly would not kill any Han individual. However at Juxian Manor, how many individuals did I kill in a single go? But on this second I needed to kill once more, would not this significantly violate the vow? Alas, when issues already turned like that, if I hadn’t offended different folks, they’d offend me. If I had passively waited for demise and let different folks minimize and kill me, how may or not it’s the motion of a real man?’

He had run 1000’s of li to right here as a result of he needed to seek out out about his personal origin however from starting to finish he had not achieved the slightest outcome. Getting increasingly more irascible, he shouted loudly: ‘I am not a Han, I am not a Han! I am a Khitan barbarian, I am a Khitan barbarian!’ He then raised his palms and repeatedly hit the stone wall. He solely heard the valley resounding together with his shouts, every of which echoed again: ‘…not a Han, not a Han! …Khitan barbarian, Khitan barbarian!’

Stone bits from the stone wall scattered throughout. The grief and fury in Qiao Feng’s coronary heart couldn’t be expressed, he saved putting out with one palm assault after one other, it appeared he needed to vent every kind of grievances he had suffered for the previous greater than 1 month on the stone wall. Afterward, his palms bled, the marks of his gory fingers have been printed on the stone wall one after the other, however he saved on hitting.

Whereas he was hitting, all of the sudden he heard the pleasing clear voice of a lady from behind: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, in the event you saved hitting, this mountain peak could be knocked down by you.’

Startled, Qiao Feng turned his head round and noticed a younger lady standing below a flower tree beside the mountain slope, leaning towards it. The lady was sporting a reddish robe and was smiling. She was nobody apart from A’Zhu.

That day he had saved her merely as a result of he had been stimulated by the indignation of that second however in reality he had not cared about this little maid. Afterward, busy sufficient together with his personal affairs, he had ignored and forgotten the matter regarding her life and demise. Unexpectedly, she suddely appeared right here, therefore Qiao Feng was astonished, however after that he additionally felt blissful. He went upwards to greet her, laughed and mentioned: ‘A’Zhu, have you ever gotten properly?’ Nonetheless, as a result of his temper all of the sudden modified from being livid to being blissful, his smiling expression was somewhat pressured.

A’Zhu mentioned: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, how are you?’ She gazed at Qiao Feng for a short time then all of the sudden threw herself into his bosom and sobbed: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, I… I have been ready for you right here for five days and 5 nights. I solely feared that you just would not come. You… You have actually come. Thank Heavens, in the long run you are secure and sound.’

She mentioned these few sentences in an intermittent method, however her phrases have been full of gladness and solace. As quickly as Qiao Feng heard them, he knew that she cared about himself very a lot. He felt moved and requested: ‘Why have you ever been ready for me right here for five days and 5 nights? I… How do you know that I would come right here?’

A’Zhu slowly raised her head. Instantly remembering that she was leaning towards the bosom of a person, she blushed and took 2 steps backward. When she recalled that only a second in the past she had been unable to regulate her emotions, her face reddened much more. She all of the sudden circled and went rapidly to the again of the tree.

Qiao Feng known as out: ‘Hey, A’Zhu, A’Zhu, what are you doing?’ A’Zhu didn’t reply. She solely felt that her coronary heart was beating chaotically. After whereas, she walked out from behind the tree, her face nonetheless seemed somewhat embarrassed. For the second, she stammered and was unable to say clearly. Discovering her expression unusual, Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘A’Zhu, if in case you have one thing that’s onerous to say, be happy to inform me. The two of us are mates in adversity who went by means of life-and-death conditions collectively, what do you continue to fear about?’ A’Zhu’s face reddened once more. She mentioned: ‘Nothing.’

Qiao Feng gently pulled her shoulder and turned her face in direction of the daylight. He noticed that regardless that her countenance was nonetheless very haggard, a reddish coloration may vaguely be seen below her pale cheeks; they now not had the grey coloration of when she had been significantly injured that day. Qiao Feng then put out his finger to really feel her pulse. A’Zhu’s entire physique shook when her wrist touched his finger. Qiao Feng requested: ‘What’s improper? You are still unwell?’ A’Zhu blushed once more and hurriedly mentioned: ‘No, no… nothing.’ Qiao Feng checked her pulse however discovered that it was beating steadily and comfortably. He praised: ‘Divine physician Xue may carry the dying again to life. He actually lives as much as his popularity.’

A’Zhu mentioned: ‘Fortunately, solely as a result of your good good friend Elder Bai Shijing promised to show Divine physician Xue 7 stances of the ‘Silk Thread Winding Greedy Hand Approach’ did he deal with my harm. Extra importantly, they needed to interrogate me in regards to the whereabouts of that grasp in black. If I had died at that second, they would not have been in a position to ask something. When the situation of my harm acquired higher a bit, each day 7 or 8 folks got here and requested me: ‘What is the relationship between the evil traitor Qiao Feng and also you?’ ‘The place has he escaped to?’ ‘Who’s the person in black that saved him?’ At first I did not know something about these issues, however after I actually mentioned that I did not know, they insisted that I used to be mendacity. Additionally they threatened me rather a lot, saying they’d starve and torture me. So, I secretly made up some tales and advised them. The story in regards to the grasp in black was probably the most absurd. Someday I mentioned he was from Mt Kunlun, the following day I once more mentioned he had as soon as discovered martial arts within the East Sea. It was very fascinating speaking nonsense to them.’ Saying to right here, recalling that in these days she had talked nonsense to and made a idiot of many present well-known heroes and extraordinary folks, she nonetheless had some lingering enjoyment, and a smiling expression appeared on her face, making it appear like a spring flower which had simply opened.

Qiao Feng smiled and mentioned: ‘Did they consider you?’ A’Zhu mentioned: ‘Some did and a few did not. The vast majority of them half believed half doubted. I guessed they did not know the id of the grasp in black both and nobody would have the ability to argue that my phrases have been incorrect, so my tales turned increasingly more curious, making them very suspicious and full of nervousness.’ Qiao Feng sighed and mentioned: ‘Ultimately, what is the id of this grasp in black? I do not realize it both. Maybe if I heard you speaking by means of your hat, I would additionally half consider half doubt.’

Stunned, A’Zhu mentioned: ‘You do not know him both? Then why was he prepared to danger saving you from an especially harmful place? Ah, after all, each nice hero who saves folks in peril is rather like that.’

Qiao Feng sighed and mentioned: ‘I do not know who I ought to take revenge on, and do not know who I ought to pay my debt of gratitude both. I do not know if I am Han or Hu and do not know if in the long run my conduct and deeds are proper or improper. Qiao Feng ah Qiao Feng, you are actually a person for nothing.’

Seeing his depressing expression, A’Zhu couldn’t assist placing out her palms and holding his palms. She soothed him: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, why do you need to make your self undergo? There will be in the future when every little thing will come to gentle. So long as you could have a transparent conscience, and act and behave in accordance with the regulation of Heaven and Earth, that is ok.’

Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘However I actually have a responsible conscience. Due to it I really feel very sorry. That day within the apricot forest I flicked the saber and took a vow that I would by no means kill a Han, however… however…’

A’Zhu mentioned: ‘At Juxian Manor, these folks disregarded rights and wrongs to collectively assault you, in the event you hadn’t struck again, may or not it’s that you just’d have confusedly allow them to minimize you into 17 or 28 items? There is not any such factor below heaven!’

Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘You are proper.’ He was a broad-minded courageous man due to this fact he solely felt grieved and lonely for a restricted time; after some time, he solid these emotions apart and mentioned: ‘Zhiguang dashi and Zhao Qiansun each mentioned there have been phrases written on this stone wall, however somebody has scraped them off.’

A’Zhu mentioned: ‘Sure, I guessed you’d undoubtedly exit of Yanmen Move to see the phrases left behind on this stone wall, that is why after I escaped from hazard I went to right here instantly to attend for you.’

Qiao Feng requested: ‘How may you escape? It is also Elder Bai who saved you?’ A’Zhu smiled: ‘No, it is not. You do not forget that I as soon as disguised as a Shaolin monk, proper? Even his shixiongdi (apprentice youthful and older bros) could not uncover it.’ Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘Sure, this mischievous ability of yours is de facto good.’ A’Zhu mentioned: ‘That day, when the situation of my harm was already superb, Divine physician Xue mentioned there was no must deal with the harm anymore and after resting for 7 or 8 days I would totally get better. The tales I made up step by step had increasingly more flaws. Additionally, I already acquired considerably uninterested in making them up and was anxious about you, so within the night of that day, I disguised as an individual.’ Qiao Feng requested: ‘Disguised once more? Who did you disguise as?’

A’Zhu mentioned: ‘I disguised as Divine physician Xue.’

Barely startled, Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘How may you disguise as Divine physician Xue?’ A’Zhu mentioned: ‘He met me each day and talked to me probably the most so I used to be acquainted with his look and method probably the most. In addition to, he typically stayed with me alone. Within the night of that day, I pretended to fall in a faint. He got here to really feel my pulse. I then turned my hand over and grabbed the inside floor of his wrist. He may now not transfer, and had no selection however to let me prepare.’

Qiao Feng couldn’t assist however burst out laughing and thought: ‘This Divine physician Xue solely targeted on treating sickness. He did not count on to be fooled by this imp in any respect.’

A’Zhu mentioned: ‘I blocked his acupuncture factors, eliminated his garments and footwear. As my acupuncture level blocking ability is not first-class, I feared he would unblock the acupuncture factors, so I torn the mattress sheet, tied up his limbs then put him on the mattress and used the quilt to cowl him. If somebody seemed in from outdoors the window, they’d solely assume that I used to be sleeping deeply with my head coated by the quilt. Nobody would suspect. After I placed on his garments, footwear and hat and piled wrinkles onto my face, I already seemed 70% just like him, however I lacked a beard.’

Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘Oh, Divine physician Xue’s beard is half black half white, it isn’t simple to pretend it.’ A’Zhu mentioned: ‘It was unattainable to make a replica, so in the long run I used the true one.’ Qiao Feng requested in shock: ‘The actual one?’ A’Zhu mentioned: ‘Sure, the true one. I took out a small knife from his drugs chest and shaved off his beard, then caught each single thread on my face. There wasn’t the slightest distinction in coloration and look. Divine physician Xue should’ve been extraordinarily offended, however what may he do? Treating my harm wasn’t his true aim so me shaving off his beard does not rely as requiting kindness with enmity, not to mention the truth that after having his beard shaved off, it appeared he turned youthful by greater than 10 years, wanting very good-looking.’

As she spoke to right here, the two of them checked out one another and burst out laughing.

A’Zhu continued after she completed laughing: ‘After disguising as Divine physician Xue, I swaggered out of Juxian Manor. After all nobody dared to ask me something. I requested folks to organize horse and take silver for me then went off. Once I was 30 li (0.5 km) away from the manor, I pulled off the beard and become a younger man. These folks will need to have found it no earlier than the early morning of the following day. However on the way in which I already modified my look, they definitely would not have the ability to discover me.’

Qiao Feng applauded and mentioned: ‘Sensible! Sensible!’ Instantly he recalled that at Shaolin Monastery when seeing his personal again within the copper mirror within the Bodhi Institute he had been dumbfounded and vaguely felt uneasy about one thing. At this second, when he heard her speaking about how she had disguised and escaped from hazard, not solely did this uneasy feeling all of the sudden emerge once more, nevertheless it was additionally extra intense than it had been that day at Shaolin Monastery. He thought of and mentioned: ‘You flip round for me.’ A’Zhu didn’t perceive what his intention was however she nonetheless circled.

Qiao Feng thought of for a protracted whereas then took off his coat and wrapped it round her physique.

Blushed, A’Zhu turned her head round, checked out him affectionately and mentioned: ‘I am not chilly.’

When Qiao Feng noticed her being wrapped in his coat, his thoughts all of the sudden turned clear. He turned his hand over, grabbed her wrist and mentioned sternly: ‘It seems to be you! Who incited you? Rapidly inform me.’ A’Zhu was frightened and mentioned in a trembling voice: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, what is the matter?’ Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘You as soon as disguised as me and pretended to be me, proper?’

It turned out on this second he all of the sudden recalled that day in Wuxi when he had been dashing to rescue his Beggar Society brothers, he had seen the again of an individual on the street. At that second, he had not taken discover of it, however when seeing his personal again within the copper mirror within the Bodhi Institute, he had began to vaguely do not forget that the again of that man and his personal again had seemed precisely alike. Because of this, that uneasy feeling had emerged. However he had been confused and completely had not identified the reason for it.

That day when he had rushed to rescue the Beggar Society’s extraordinary folks, by the point of his arrival, everybody had already escaped from hazard and all of them had mentioned that they had met him not way back. Regardless that he had denied that, nobody had believed him. At the moment, he had been baffled and thought there had been no motive for it apart from somebody imitating him; but when somebody had needed to mimic him to the extent that the individuals who had met him on a day-to-day foundation corresponding to Bai Shijing and Elder Wu had not been in a position to uncover it, wouldn’t it not be simpler mentioned than executed? This second, as quickly as he noticed the again of A’Zhu who was being wrapped in his coat, every little thing from starting to finish was confirmed additional and he instantly understood. Regardless that A’Zhu was not having cotton padding on her physique, and her small delicate again was very totally different than his majestic look, but when there have been to be somebody to mimic him and idiot the Beggar Society folks, except for her, who else below heaven may?

A’Zhu didn’t panic in any respect. She giggled and mentioned: ‘Okay, I’ve no selection however to admit.’ Then she advised him how she disguised as him and saved the Beggar Society folks utilizing the antidote.

Qiao Feng let go of her wrist and mentioned sternly: ‘You disguised as me and saved folks, what was your intention?’

A’Zhu was very shocked and mentioned: ‘I simply needed to play a joke. You saved me and A’Bi from the palms of the Western Xia folks so each of us are very grateful to you. Seeing these beggars deal with you badly like that, I assumed if I disguised as you and cured them of the poison, making them really feel ashamed, it could be factor.’ She let loose a sigh and continued: ‘However who may have identified at Juxian Manor they have been nonetheless so merciless to you and did not bear in mind something in regards to the kindness and friendship of the previous?’

Qiao Feng’s expression turned grimmer and grimmer. He gnashed his tooth and requested: ‘Then why did you disguise as me and kill my dad and mom? Why did you sneak in Shaolin Monastery and kill my grasp?’

A’Zhu jumped out of her pores and skin and known as out: ‘There is not any such factor. Who mentioned I killed your dad and mom, and killed your grasp?’

Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘My grasp was injured by somebody. As he noticed me, he instantly mentioned that it was me who had harmed him. Do not inform me that it nonetheless wasn’t you?’ As he mentioned to right here, he barely raised his proper palm and his face was coated with a murderous look. If her reply was just a bit bit clumsy, this palm would strike down, after which, even 10 A’Zhu’s would die violently instantly.

Seeing that his face was coated with a murderous look and his eyes have been full of rage, A’Zhu was extraordinarily scared and couldn’t assist taking 2 steps backward. If she took one other 2 steps backward, she would fall into the bottomless abyss.

Qiao Feng mentioned sternly: ‘Stand there, do not transfer!’

A’Zhu was so frightened that tears rolled down her cheeks drop by drop. She quavered: ‘I did not… I did not kill your dad and mom, and did not… did not kill your grasp. Your grasp had such nice… nice expertise, how may I kill him?’

Her final sentence was very highly effective. As quickly as Qiao Feng heard it, he barely shivered and knew that he had wrongly blamed her. He put out his left hand with lightning velocity, grabbed her shoulder and pulled her near the cliff in order that she wouldn’t slip and fall into the ravine. He mentioned: ‘That is proper. My grasp wasn’t killed by you.’ His grasp Xuan Ku dashi was a brother of high-level monks corresponding to Xuan Ci, Xuan Ji and Xuan Nan; his martial arts attainments have been first-class these days. He handed away not due to being poisoned or being injured by weapons or missiles, however as a result of his inside organs had been crushed by extraordinarily fierce palm power. A’Zhu was very younger, how may she have such profound inside vitality? Had her inside vitality been ample to strike lifeless Xuan Ku dashi, then that Nice Diamond Palm assault by Xuan Ci wouldn’t have been in a position to strike her close to lifeless.

A’Zhu smiled by means of tears, tapped herself on the chest and mentioned: ‘You nearly scared me to demise. Your phrases have been very unreasonable. If I had the power to kill your grasp, then why did not I provide help to bloodbath these unhealthy eggs at Juxian Manor?’

Seeing that she was barely offended, Qiao Feng felt regretful and mentioned: ‘Lately, I have been in a uncertain temper so I simply talked nonsense, please do not blame me.’

A’Zhu smiled and mentioned: ‘Who blames you? If I blamed you then I would not speak to you.’ Then she instantly stopped smiling and mentioned softly: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, regardless of the way you deal with me, on this life, I am going to by no means be offended with you.’

Qiao Feng shook his head and mentioned indifferently: ‘Regardless that I saved you, you needn’t preserve it in thoughts.’ He frowned, entranced, then all of the sudden requested: ‘A’Zhu, who taught you these disguising and making-up expertise? Does your grasp have every other disciple?’ A’Zhu shook her head and mentioned: ‘No person taught me. Since childhood I’ve favored to disguise as different folks to play. The extra I imitated, the higher I may disguise. And I haven’t got any grasp. Might or not it’s that I will need to have a grasp with a purpose to play a sport?’

Qiao Feng let loose a sigh and mentioned: ‘Then this actually unusual. Who may count on that on this planet there’s 1 man who seems to be precisely like me, to such an extent that my grasp mistook him for me?’ A’Zhu mentioned: ‘As a result of there may be this clue, it would be simple. We simply want to seek out this man, then torture and power him to reply.’ Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘Appropriate. However it’s extraordinarily troublesome to seek out 1 man within the boundless sea of individuals on this planet. He in all probability additionally has good disguising and making-up expertise such as you do.’

He got here close to the cliff and gazed on the marks attributable to axes and chisels on the stone wall, wanting to seek out out what phrases had been carved on it initially. However after them fastidiously, he nonetheless couldn’t acknowledge a single phrase. He mentioned: ‘I have to discover Zhiguang dashi and ask him what phrases have been written on this stone wall. If I can not carry this matter to gentle, I will not have the ability to eat and sleep calmly.’

A’Zhu mentioned: ‘I am afraid he will not be prepared to say.’ Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘He’ll in all probability be unwilling to say, however I am going to power and beg him. Solely after he says will I cease.’ A’Zhu muttered: ‘Zhiguang dashi appears to be very resolute and unafraid of demise. Maybe forcing and begging him would not work. It would be higher…’ Qiao Feng nodded and mentioned: ‘Appropriate. It would be higher to ask Zhao Qiansun. Oh, in all probability this Zhao Qiansun man would somewhat die than submit as properly. However I have already got a approach to cope with him.’

As he spoke to right here, he turned towards one aspect, seemed on the abyss and mentioned: ‘I wanna go down to take a look.’ A’Zhu jumped in fright. She seemed on the mouth of that valley which was coated in clouds and mists and took a number of steps away from it for worry of carelessly falling down into it. She then mentioned: ‘No, no! You should not go down. What’s good to see down there?’ Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘Ultimately I am Han or Hu? This matter has at all times been whirling round my head. I wanna go down to research and clear it up, and to try the corpse of that Khitan man.’ A’Zhu mentioned: ‘It has been 30 years since that man fell down. There’re solely a number of items of white bones left. What else will you have the ability to see?’ Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘I simply wanna take a look at that man’s stays. I believe if he is actually my actual father then I ought to gather his bones, carry them up and bury them correctly.’

A’Zhu screamed: ‘Not possible, unattainable! You are benevolent, heroic and righteous. How will you be a descendant of the inhuman vicious Khitans?’

Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘You watch for me right here for 1 day and 1 night time. If by this time tomorrow I have not gone up then you definitely will not want to attend anymore.’

Very anxious, A’Zhu burst into tears and known as out: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, please do not go down!’

Qiao Feng’s intention was very agency. Regardless of A’Zhu, he didn’t change his thoughts just a little bit. He mentioned: ‘At Juxian Manor, so many heroes and courageous males could not kill me. Do not inform me that this trifling valley may take my life?’

Unable to consider any phrase to dissuade him, A’Zhu had no selection however to say: ‘Perhaps there’re very many toxic snakes, toxic bugs or ferocious monsters down there.’

‘Ha-ha,’ Qiao Feng laughed out loud, patted her shoulder and mentioned: ‘If there have been monsters then it could not be higher. I would seize them so that you can play.’ He seemed throughout the mouth of the valley to discover a cliff the place he may handle to place his ft on to step by step climb down.

At this second, all of the sudden he vaguely heard the sounds of horse hooves which have been galloping southward within the northeast nook. Judging by the sounds, there have been greater than 20 horses. Immediately, Qiao Feng rapidly walked again to the mountain slope and seemed within the path of the horse hoofbeats. From a peak, he noticed that these greater than 20 cavalrymen sporting yellow garments and armor. All of them have been Nice Track’s servicemen. They have been organized in a line and coming rapidly alongside the mountain path on the excessive slope under.

After seeing clearly these folks, he paid no consideration to them. However the place the place he and A’Zhu have been staying at was on the necessary path to enter the move from the north of the Nice Wall; that 12 months, extraordinary folks of the Central Plains had chosen this place to ambush the Khitan warriors because of this. He thought as a result of this place was a strategic level for frontier protection, if Nice Track servicemen noticed unfamiliar folks right here, they’d possible interrogate and study; therefore it could be higher to keep away from them to keep away from troubles. He then returned to the unique place, pulled A’Zhu to the again of the large rock to cover and mentioned: ‘These are Nice Track servicemen!’

Not lengthy after that, these greater than 20 cavalrymen went up the ridge. Hiding behind the rock, Qiao Feng already noticed that the main individual was an officer. He couldn’t chorus from feeling somewhat moved: ‘That 12 months, folks corresponding to Chief Wang, Zhiguang dashi and Zhao Qiansun prolly additionally ambushed behind this large rock, and on this method they noticed the Khitan warriors going up the ridge. Immediately, the height and the rock are nonetheless the identical, however many of the warriors of each side Track and Liao that 12 months have become white bones.’

Whereas his thoughts was wandering, all of the sudden he heard a number of crying sounds of youngsters. Qiao Feng was astonished and felt as if he was in dreamland: ‘Why are there additionally youngsters?’ After that he heard the screams of a number of girls.

He caught his head out and noticed clearly that almost all of these Nice Track servicemen have been having a kidnapped lady on every of their horses. All the girls and youngsters have been sporting Khitan pastoral apparel. Fairly a couple of Nice Track servicemen stretched out their palms and groped the Khitan girls, wanting extraordinarily licentious and repulsive. Some girls who resisted have been instantly shouted abuse at and hit by these servicemen. Qiao Feng discovered this unusual and didn’t perceive the explanation for this. He noticed that after passing by the large rock, these folks galloping straight in direction of Yanmen Move.

A’Zhu requested: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, what are they doing?’ Qiao Feng shook his head and thought: ‘Why are defending troops at this frontier move so obscene?’ A’Zhu continued: ‘This type of serviceman seems to be identical to bandits.’

After that, greater than 30 different servicemen went up the ridge, driving alongside a number of lots of head of cattle and sheep and greater than 10 Khitan girls. He heard 1 officer say: ‘Gathering crops this time, our harvest is not superb, I’m wondering if commander-in-chief will get offended?’ One other officer mentioned: ‘We could not snatch plenty of cattle and sheep from Liao canines, however 2 or 3 girls among the many ones we snatched look not unhealthy. Let commander-in-chief take pleasure in them, he’ll be in temper.’ The first officer mentioned: ’30 one thing girls aren’t sufficient for everybody. Tomorrow we should always work onerous and snatch some extra.’ A soldier laughed and mentioned: ‘Listening to the rumors, all of the Liao canines should’ve already run away. If we wanna collect crops once more, we have to wait for two or 3 months.’

Listening to to right here, Qiao Feng couldn’t chorus from getting extraordinarily livid. He thought that the misdeeds of those servicemen have been even worse than these of probably the most despicable robbers.

Instantly, a child who was being carried within the bosom of a Khitan lady began to cry loudly. That Khitan lady held out her hand and pushed away the hand of a Nice Track officer then turned her head again to coax the crying child. That officer was very offended. He grabbed that child and threw him on the bottom. After that he urged the horse forwards; the horse trampled on the physique of the infant, instantly breaking his stomach and making his intestines stick out. That Khitan lady was so frightened that she was shocked and unable to let loose any sound of crying. The servicemen laughed loudly and handed by in giant numbers.

In his life, Qiao Feng had seen not only a few ruthless merciless issues, however this was the first time he had seen somebody overtly kill a child for enjoyable like this. He was extraordinarily livid however didn’t unleash his emotions instantly as he needed to see the entire story.

After this group of servicemen handed by, greater than 10 different servicemen got here whereas shouting. All of those Nice Track servicemen have been driving horses and holding excessive spears of their palms. The top of virtually each spear was piercing by means of 1 gory severed head. There was a protracted rope mounted to the tail of one of many horses, tying up 5 Khitan males. Qiao Feng noticed that these folks have been sporting garments of peculiar herdsmen. 2 of them have been very previous with their heads filled with white hairs. The opposite 3 have been 15 or 16 12 months previous children. He instantly understood that these Nice Track servicemen had gone out to pillage, all of the sturdy Khitan herdsmen had escaped however that they had captured the ladies, the youngsters, the previous and the weak.

He heard 1 officer giggle and say: ‘Slicing off 14 heads and capturing 5 Liao canines, this contribution is just not large and never small, however I am going to definitely be promoted by 1 rank and rewarded with 100 taels of silver.’ One other man mentioned: ‘Hey Gao, there is a Khitan small city 50 li to the west of right here. Do you dare to go there to assemble crops?’ The one known as Gao mentioned: ‘Why the heck do I not dare? Are you wanting down on me for being a rookie? As a rookie, your father must make extra contributions on the frontier.’ Whereas they have been speaking, the road of males, who have been operating quick, already got here close to the large rock.

When seeing the corpse of the kid on the bottom, 1 previous Khitan man all of the sudden screamed out, rushed over to hug the corpse, repeatedly kissed it and cried out sorrowfully. Regardless that Qiao Feng didn’t perceive this previous man’s language, seeing his expression, he knew that the infant who had been trampled to demise by horses was his relative. The personal who was dragging the previous man constantly pulled the rope, urging him to go quick. Getting livid like loopy, that previous Khitan man fiercely rushed at him. Frightened, that non-public brandished his saber and rapidly slashed on the previous man. The previous Khitan man exerted his power and gave him a pull, dragging him down from horseback, then opened his mouth and bit the personal’s neck. At this second, one other Nice Track officer on horseback ruthlessly chopped in the back of the previous man together with his saber 1 time then he stooped down, grabbed his neck and pulled him away. Solely now was the personal who had fallen on the bottom in a position to rise up. He was very offended due to this fact he brandished his saber and chopped a number of extra instances on the previous Khitan man. That previous man shook a couple of instances however he didn’t tumble down. The servicemen, both elevating spears or lifting lengthy sabers, then surrounded him.

That previous man turned in direction of the north, unfastened the garments on the higher a part of his physique, stood upright and all of the sudden began to cry out loudly in a grieved voice, sounding just like the howl of a wolf. Quickly, the servicemen all had a frightened expression on their faces.

Qiao Feng was scared. He all of the sudden felt that there gave the impression to be a religious connection between him and this previous Khitan man. He himself had additionally let loose these a number of howls which appeared like these of a dying wolf’s. That had been at Juxian Manor, after successively being hit by saber and spear, seeing Shan Zheng thrusting at him together with his saber, he himself had identified that he had been about to die, therefore he had been unable to carry again his grief and indignation and cried out violently like a wild beast.

At this second, when he heard these cries, a way of closeness involuntarily arose in his coronary heart. Not considering anymore, he leaped out from the behind the large rock, grabbed these Nice Track servicemen and threw them off the cliff one after the other. The extra Qiao Feng fought, the extra ardent he turned. He even shoved all of the horses that they rode down the ravine by giving every horse 1 palm assault. The cries by males and the neighs by horses have been heard for some time then quickly fell silent.

A’Zhu and people 4 Khitan males have been dumbfounded after they noticed that he was such miraculously mighty.

After killing all of these greater than 10 servicemen, Qiao Feng let loose a protracted howl which shook the valley. Seeing that the previous Khitan man was nonetheless standing upright after receiving a number of saber slashes, he revered him for being a courageous man. He then went as much as the previous man and noticed that he was dealing with north together with his naked chest being uncovered, however he now not breathed and was already lifeless. As quickly as Qiao Feng seemed on the previous man’s chest, ‘Ah,’ he uttered an exclamation and took 1 step backwards, his physique tottered as if he was about to fall over.

A’Zhu was very scared. She known as out: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, you… you… are you alright?’ Solely chi-chi-chi sounds have been heard, Qiao Feng had ripped open the garments that coated his personal entrance, exhibiting a furry chest.

A’Zhu instantly noticed that there was an ornamental design tattooed on his chest, which was a blue wolf head with its mouth large opened exhibiting its tooth, wanting ferocious. When she seemed on the previous Khitan man once more, she noticed that his chest additionally had a wolf head tattoo whose look was precisely the identical as that of the wolf head on Qiao Feng’s chest.

Instantly, these 4 Khitan males began to shout on the identical time.

When Qiao Feng had begun to know issues on the age of two or 3, he had already seen this blue wolf head tattoo on his chest. As a result of he had identified it since childhood, he had not within the least thought that it had been uncommon. Later, when he had grown up, he had requested his dad and mom about it. Qiao Sanhuai and his spouse each had mentioned that the image had been lovely and praised it for some time, however that they had mentioned nothing about its origin. Through the Northern Track Dynasty, it was quite common to have a tattoo on the physique; some folks even had their entire our bodies coated with tattoos from the neck to the ft. Nice Track acquired the nation from the Chai clan of the Later Zhou Dynasty. The founding father of the Later Zhou Dynasty Guo Wei had a sparrow tattoo on his neck, and because of this he was known as ‘Guo Sparrow.’ At the moment, having tattoos had grow to be a prevailing trend and eight or 9/tenth of the Beggar Society brothers had tattoos on their our bodies, therefore Qiao Feng had by no means had in the slightest degree of suspicion. However at this second, when he noticed that the blue wolf tattoo on the chest of the lifeless previous Khitan man and his personal tattoo have been unexpectedly precisely alike, he was extraordinarily shocked.

The 4 Khitan folks surrounded him and talked in a language he didn’t perceive. They constantly pointed on the wolf head on his chest. As a result of Qiao Feng didn’t perceive what they have been saying, he had no concept the way to reply. Instantly 1 previous man unfastened his garments and confirmed his chest, which unexpectedly additionally had this wolf head tattoo. The opposite 3 children additionally unfastened their garments, and their chests all had the wolf head tattoo as properly.

Immediately, Qiao Feng lastly knew completely that he himself was a Khitan. The wolf head on the chest needed to be the image of their tribe, maybe every of them had been tattooed with it since childhood. He had at all times detested Khitan folks, considering that they have been brutal, despicable, faithless and unrighteous, and considering that they have been accustomed to killing Han folks and didn’t cease at any crime. However at this second he had no selection however to confess that he himself was a Khitan man who was identical to an animal, therefore he felt extraordinarily distressed.

He stood in a trance for a very long time then all of the sudden he let loose a shout and ran like loopy in direction of the forest.

A’Zhu known as out: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, nice grasp Qiao!’ and went after him.

Solely after chasing him for greater than 10 li (0.5 km) did A’Zhu see him sitting below an enormous tree and hugging his head. His face was very pale, a thick blue vein caught out on his brow. A’Zhu went to his aspect and sat down subsequent to him.

Qiao Feng shrank his physique and mentioned: ‘I am a Khitan barbarian who’s decrease than pigs and canines. Any further, you needn’t see me once more.’

Like all different Han folks, A’Zhu after all additionally detested Khitan folks to the marrow, however in her coronary heart, Qiao Feng was like a heavenly god. Evidently, he was only a Khitan. Even when he was a demon or a ferocious beast, she wouldn’t be prepared to depart him. She thought: ‘He is sad now. I have to properly advise and console him.’ She then softly mentioned: ‘There’re good ones and unhealthy ones amongst Han folks, so naturally there’re additionally good ones and unhealthy ones amongst Khitan folks. Nice grasp Qiao, please do not take note of this type of factor. A’Zhu’s life was saved by you. If you happen to’re Han, that is nice by me. If you happen to’re Khitan, that is additionally nice. Han or Khitan, it makes no distinction to me.’

Qiao Feng coldly mentioned: ‘I do not want you to take pity on me. In your thoughts, you look down on me. You needn’t hypocritically say any good phrase. I saved your life not due to my true emotions. It is simply that I briefly needed to indicate off my expertise and defeat different folks. This matter has been written off in 1 stroke. Please go away rapidly.’

A’Zhu was anxious and flustered and thought: ‘He already is aware of that he himself is a Khitan barbarian. Maybe he’ll return to the northern deserts and any more by no means put his foot on the Central Plains once more.’ For the second, not with the ability to management her emotions, she stood up and mentioned: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, in the event you solid me apart and depart, I am going to soar into this valley. A’Zhu will certainly do what she has promised. You are a Khitan hero so that you look down on this lowly slave lady. I would higher end myself.’

Listening to she say very sincerely, Qiao Feng felt touched. He had solely thought that if he was a barbarian, all of the Han folks below heaven would keep away from him like avoiding snakes and scorpions. By no means may he have anticipated that A’Zhu nonetheless handled him the identical as earlier than, therefore he couldn’t assist holding out his hand to tug her hand and mentioned gently: ‘A’Zhu, you are Mr Murong’s maid, and never my maid. I… How can I look down on you?’

A’Zhu mentioned: ‘I do not want you to take pity on me. In your thoughts, you look down on me. You needn’t hypocritically say any good phrase.’ She imitated these few sentences of Qiao Feng and there was no dissimilarity between her voice and tone to these of his, however her eyes have been full of a mischievous look.

Qiao Feng ha-ha laughed out loud. He was on the sting of despair and disappointment, due to this fact when he was joked with and consoled by this good younger lady he couldn’t assist feeling that his worries had largely disappeared.

A’Zhu all of the sudden adopted a stern expression and mentioned: ‘Nice grasp Qiao, I serve Mr Murong however I don’t promote myself to him. It was solely as a result of I’ve been with out dad and mom since childhood and was wandering about outdoors, in the future I used to be bullied and humiliated by different folks, seeing that, Outdated Grasp Murong saved me and took me to his dwelling. I used to be alone and homeless so I turned a maid in his dwelling. Really Mr Murong does not regard me as his maid in any respect. He even purchased a couple of maids to serve me. A’Bi meizi (youthful sister) can be like me. It is simply that her father despatched her to Outdated Grasp Murong’s dwelling in Yanzi hamlet (Yanzi = Swallow – chook) to take refuge. In these days, Outdated Grasp Murong and Madam Murong as soon as mentioned that the day I and A’Bi needed to depart Yanzi hamlet, his Murong household would fortunately see us off…’ Saying to right here, she barely blushed. It turned out throughout that point Madam Murong had mentioned: ‘The times that the two little ladies A’Zhu and A’Bi have houses to return to, the entire Murong household will see them off with dowries, embellished sedan chairs and musical performances. There will be no distinction to when our daughter will get married.’ She paused for a short time then continued speaking to Qiao Feng: ‘Any further, I am gonna serve you and grow to be your maid. Mr Murong undoubtedly will not take offense.’

Shaking his palms constantly, Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘No, no! I am a barbaric Hu man, how can I’ve any maid? You are used to dwelling in a wealthy and honorable household in Jiangnan, what’s so good about following me to wander about and undergo hardships? You see, I am such an insolent type of fellow, do I need to be served by you?’

A’Zhu gave a captivating smile and mentioned: ‘If that’s the case, let’s contemplate that I am a servant who has been captured by you, once you’re blissful you may smile at me, once you’re unhappy you may beat me and scold me, is that okay?’ Qiao Feng smiled and mentioned: ‘If I gave you a punch, I am afraid you’d die immediately.’ A’Zhu mentioned: ‘After all you solely beat me gently and should not hit too onerous.’ Qiao Feng laughed ha-ha and mentioned: ‘If beating gently then it would be higher to not beat. I do not wanna have any servant both.’ A’Zhu mentioned: ‘You are an important Khitan hero, what’s improper with you capturing some Han girls and making them your servants? You see, did not these Nice Track servicemen additionally kidnap many Khitan folks?’

Qiao Feng was speechless. Seeing that he was knitting his brows tightly and the look in his eyes was very gloomy, A’Zhu was afraid that she had mentioned one thing improper making him sad.

After some time, Qiao Feng slowly mentioned: ‘I’ve at all times thought that Khitan individuals are ferocious and ruthless, and savagely hurt Han folks. However at present I’ve seen with my very own eyes how Nice Track servicemen killed Khitan folks no matter age and intercourse. I… I… A’Zhu, I am a Khitan. Any further, I am now not ashamed to be a Khitan, and I do not really feel honored to be a Nice Track man both.’

Listening to him say so, A’Zhu knew that he had untied this knot of melancholy in his thoughts. She was very blissful and mentioned: ‘I already mentioned there’re good ones and unhealthy ones amongst Hu folks, and there’re additionally the nice and the unhealthy amongst Han folks. Hu folks do not have the craftiness of Han folks’s so perhaps they also have a bit fewer baddies.’

When Qiao Feng seemed on the ravine on the left-hand aspect, he remembered what had occurred that 12 months and mentioned: ‘A’Zhu, my father and mom have been murdered with none motive by these Han folks. I am not allowed to not settle this rating.’

A’Zhu nodded and secretly felt scared. She knew that the phrases ‘I am not allowed to not settle this rating’ that he had simply talked about calmly have been sure to contain numerous fierce battles, blood and lives.

Qiao Feng pointed on the ravine and mentioned: ‘That 12 months, after my mom was killed by them, my father was so unhappy that he did not wanna dwell, so he jumped into the ravine from beside the rock over there. Whereas he was in mid air, unwilling to make me die with him, he tossed me up. Solely because of that may Qiao Feng be right here at present. A’Zhu, my father liked me very a lot, did not he?’ Together with her eyes moistened with tears, A’Zhu mentioned: ‘Sure.’

Qiao Feng mentioned: ‘My dad and mom’ intense and deep-seated rating, how can I not settle it? Previously I did not learn about it so I went so far as contemplating the enemies my mates. It was very unfilial of me to take action. Immediately, if I do not discover and kill the principle assassin that harmed my dad and mom, how may I, Qiao, nonetheless have the face to dwell on this planet? Ultimately, who’s the ‘main large brother’ that they talked about? The letter that he wrote to Chief Wang had his signature, however monk Zhiguang torn off the signature and swallowed it. Clearly this ‘main large brother’ buster remains to be alive, in any other case they would not must cowl up for him.’

He requested himself and answered himself. After considering deeply, he knew that A’Zhu was unable to assist him discover the archenemy however having 1 individual at his aspect to listen to him speak would mechanically relieve a lot of his worries. He continued: ‘This main large brother buster may command the extraordinary folks of the Central Plains so he should be an individual with superb martial arts and excessive popularity. Judging by his tone within the letter, the friendship between him and Chief Wang may be very uncommon. He known as Chief Wang elder brother, so he should be a bit youthful than Chief Wang, however after all he is a lot older than me. It should not be onerous to seek out an individual like this in any respect. Alas, solely monk Zhiguang, Elder Xu and Madam Ma of the Beggar Society, and Neutral Choose Shan Zheng have learn that letter. That Zhao Qiansun man definitely additionally is aware of who he’s. Zhao Qiansun already advised his shimei (youthful apprentice sister) Granny Tan about that. Maybe Granny Tan does not disguise that from her husband. Each monk Zhiguang and Zhao Qiansun are accomplices within the murders of my dad and mom so I am going to definitely kill them. As for this ‘main large brother’ mofo, humph, I… I’ll kill his entire household from the previous to the younger, and will not spare even fowls and canines!’

A’Zhu felt a shiver of worry. She needed to say: ‘Killing that main villain would already be sufficient. You spare his entire household, okay?’ However when she was about to say these sentences, she didn’t dare to open her lips. She solely felt that Qiao Feng had intense would possibly due to this fact she didn’t within the least dare to refuse to comply with him.

Qiao Feng continued: ‘Monk Zhiguang wanders about the entire nation. Zhao Qiansun additionally roams round. It will not be simple to seek out these 2 folks. That Neutral Choose Shan Zheng man did not participate within the battle that killed my dad and mom. I already killed 2 of his sons, his youngest son additionally died due to me, so there is no want to seek out him anymore. A’Zhu, let’s go discover Elder Xu of the Beggar Society.’

Listening to him say the phrase ‘let’s’ A’Zhu couldn’t assist feeling elated as a result of it meant that he agreed to let her go along with him. She smiled charmingly and thought: ‘Even when it’ll the ends of the world, I am going to nonetheless go along with you.’
