Fortunately, there are extra rooms in this yard. However, having extra rooms does not mean that there are extra beds. Zhao Yuan could only sleep on the hard bed next door for one night.

The next day, a maid brought breakfast, but when she saw an extra woman in the yard, she was surprised and immediately went back to prepare an extra portion. Of course, she did not forget to report the matter.

After a while, Liu Zhiqing sent someone to send a message and asked Zhao Yuan to come over.

After Liu Zhiqing got up, she was faced with a lot of tedious things. By the time Zhao Yuan arrived, it was already three o'clock in the morning. At this moment, Liu Zhiqing had time to slowly enjoy breakfast, and her breakfast was also very simple, a bowl of white porridge, a few exquisite

Steamed buns, two plates of pickles, nothing like ordinary people.

Zhao Yuan waited patiently outside the door. Of course, he had to endure Zhang Tianyin's look as if he wanted to eat someone, but Zhao Yuan didn't care about it. The so-called biting dog does not bark. This kind of thing can happen at any time.

There's nothing to fear from someone who looks like he's going to kill you.

After a while, Liu Zhiqing used her breakfast and sent someone to call Zhao Yuan in. Liu Zhiqing, who had just finished her work, had her hair tied up casually, with a trace of tiredness on her face. Seeing Zhao Yuan come in, she said: "Xie Shaoxia has been

After being rescued, people from the Taishan Sect will arrive within a few days. After asking Xie Shaoxia yesterday, I got the news that while he was trapped, the Brahma Sect inquired about the secret book of the Taishan Sect's inner strength and mental skills. So I was thinking, Brahma

The teacher kidnapped Xie Shaoxia not for money, but for martial arts secrets. It's just a pity that Wen Kong ran away and there is no way to confirm the matter."

Liu Zhiqing has been thinking about a question, which is the motive of the Brahma Sect. If it is money, they can kidnap those wealthy businessmen in exchange for a lot of money, and it is much safer. Why kidnap Xie Zhiyuan and make the entire Taishan Sect an enemy. After Xie Zhiyuan

As soon as she mentioned it, she vaguely felt that the purpose of the Brahma Sect was not money, but martial arts secrets.

You must know that each sect has its own secret knowledge, which cannot be passed down to those who are directly descended from it. Naturally, the Taishan sect also has it.

But all this is just her conjecture and there is no way to confirm it.

When Zhao Yuan heard her mention Wen Kong, his heart moved and he said, "Miss, Wen Kong may still be in Hangzhou."

Liu Zhiqing looked over with her beautiful eyes and asked doubtfully: "How do you know?"

Zhao Yuandao: "I heard the sky coming last night."

So he told what happened last night exactly, and finally said: "The woman captured by Wen Kong was frightened. She woke up, but she has no memory. The city of Hangzhou is so big, and she doesn't know her."

She is a girl from that family, and she can only temporarily stay where her subordinates live."

The maid had already reported it in the morning, and Liu Zhiqing also planned to use this opportunity to inquire. Now that Zhao Yuan mentioned it himself, it would be best. After thinking for a moment, he said: "It is indeed inconvenient for a woman to live with you. I will send someone to you later."

Go and arrange a place for her to stay first, and then send someone to find out who the girl is from."

In fact, Liu Zhiqing still has some doubts in her heart, but she will not be completely convinced so easily.

Zhao Yuandao: "Thank you, Miss."

Liu Zhiqing nodded slightly and said: "In addition, the gang leader sent someone to deliver a message early this morning, asking you to go to the City God's Temple to talk. It's not too early, so you can leave immediately."

The City God's Temple is located on the outskirts of Hangzhou, only four miles away from the city. It is hidden in a bamboo forest. As soon as he stepped into the sight, Zhao Yuan vaguely felt that there were several eyes staring at him.

These sights are hidden in the bamboo forest, and no one can be seen.

Zhao Yuan was very calm in the face of surveillance and strode towards the City God's Temple. The further inside he went, the more surveillance eyes he got. However, none of these people showed up until they arrived at the temple gate.

The City God's Temple in front of us is very dilapidated, with only three of the four walls remaining, supporting a limited piece of roof.

There is a large pot standing in the temple at the moment. The bonfire under the pot is burning brightly. The water in the pot is gurgling and steaming. The entire City God's Temple is filled with the aroma of meat.

At this moment, Duan Shuiquan was sitting cross-legged in front of the pot. When he saw Zhao Yuan coming in, he laughed and said: "Brother Zhao, please come inside!"

Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded, and walked in. He saw that the ground had been carefully tidied up, and there was a straw futon on the ground opposite Duan Shuiquan, so he sat cross-legged on it and sniffed the water coming out of the iron pot.

The billowing steam came out and he said, "It smells so good."

Duan Shuiquan smiled and said: "Last time I was entertained by the West Lake, and Miss Liu even cooked the food herself. Duan was flattered. Our Beggar Clan also has its share of the helm in Hangzhou City, so I can only feel wronged by Brother Zhao."

With that said, he handed over a dagger and said: "Try it... I, Duan, don't have any skills, but I have some research on this food, especially this stew, which contains a lot of secret spices."

Zhao Yuan took the knife, cut off a piece, blew on it, and then put it into his mouth. After chewing it gently, he found that the meat was rotten in the mouth and left a fragrant aroma in his mouth.

At this moment, Duan Shuiquan handed over another jar of wine and said: "This kind of meat needs to be drunk with rice wine to make it more delicious."

Zhao Yuan took the wine jar and took a big sip. As expected, the taste was different. The aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of meat gave it a unique taste.

Before he could finish his thoughts, he cut off another piece of meat and really started eating meat and drinking wine.

Duan Shuiquan laughed out loud when he saw this, and he and Zhao Yuan didn't talk much, just eating meat and drinking wine.

In fact, Zhao Yuan knew very well that Duan Shuiquan, as the leader of the Beggar Clan, was very arrogant. If you asked him to go to a high-end restaurant to eat abalone, ginseng, wings, tripe, etc. like those dignitaries, he would definitely be very unhappy. On the contrary, he was so unrestrained.

, simply cooked food paired with low-grade spirits, this is what he loves.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan's current unrestrained eating style is very appealing to Duan Shuiquan.

Not long after, the two of them were full of wine and food. There was not much meat left in the pot, and there were several wine jars lying on the ground.

As soon as he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, Duan Shuiquan's face suddenly became serious and said: "Brother Zhao, after discussing what I said a few days ago, the elders in the gang agreed with Brother Zhao that the Beggar Clan and the Liu family are a blood alliance.

."

Zhao Yuan was overjoyed and said: "Gang Leader Duan, are you serious about this?"

Duan Shuiquan said: "Even if what Mr. Duan said is half-false, is it possible that Brother Zhao can't believe it?"

Zhao Yuan said quickly: "No, Gang Leader Duan, please don't misunderstand me. The Beggar Clan's willingness to join forces with the Liu family is of course the eldest lady's wish. But there is one thing I want to ask, what is the reason that made the Gang Leader make up his mind?"

You must know that it has been more than ten days since I proposed it.

Duan Shuiquan said: "After having a meeting with Brother Zhao that day, I came down and arranged for brothers from the gang to investigate carefully. It turned out that not only did Xie Zhiyuan be kidnapped in various places, it also involved Dong Dong, Huashan, Hengshan, etc., so

I have to suspect that these are all done by the same group of people. What they have done has endangered the entire world, how can we just sit back and ignore it? In this case, joining forces with the Liu family will give us an extra helper, which is the best thing."

When he said this, Zhao Yuan suddenly felt his face get a little hot and said: "Gang Leader Duan is so kind and righteous. In comparison, I feel really guilty, and I actually used this as a condition."

Duan Shuiquan smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, why should you blame yourself? You also have your worries. This matter is of great importance. If it is leaked, wouldn't it be to alert the snake and let the thieves hide, then it will be more difficult to find them."

Duan Shuiquan was a bold and free-spirited man, and he obviously didn't care about the conditions Zhao Yuan had mentioned before. Instead, he came to comfort Zhao Yuan, which made Zhao Yuan feel even more like he was just being clever in front of him.

But fortunately, he didn't care about it, and he had agreed to form an alliance with the Liu family, so he had completed a mission.

The guilt I originally felt in my heart had faded a bit, but suddenly I heard the news about Wang Meng who attacked me last night, and asked: "Does Gang Leader Duan know about King Meng of the Iron Fist Arhat?"

Duan Shuiquan was a little curious and said: "Wang Meng was originally a Shaolin disciple. He practiced hard kung fu, but he was prone to killing and hurt people many times. He was expelled from the Shaolin Temple. Later, he committed many crimes in the world and became the target of public criticism. However, he also let

The name of Iron Fist Arhat is famous in the world, but he disappeared a few years ago and his whereabouts are unknown. Brother Zhao, why do you suddenly ask others?"

Zhao Yuan showed a solemn look on his face and said: "Iron Fist Arhat Wang Meng is Wen Kong, the abbot of Baoguo Temple. Now when I heard Gang Leader Duan talk about it, I suddenly remembered that the previous Ghost Sword Wang Quan was also expelled from the sect. He was a man who committed all kinds of evil. It seems that

The people recruited by this Brahma Sect are all notorious people in the world."

Duan Shuiquan also had a solemn look on his face and said: "These evil people alone do not have much influence on Jianghu, but if they are gathered together and become disciplined, organized and obey orders, then Jianghu will seem to be in trouble.

Set off a bloody storm."

Usually these villains work independently and are just stragglers. It is much easier to deal with them. But once they are gathered together, it is not something that one group can do to deal with them. The most important thing is that these people do not know how to speak.

What kind of quack theory is this? It's like opening the door to hell and letting out a group of evil spirits.
