After being away for several months, Guo Mo saw Lu Chengfeng again, and found that he seemed a little older, and his hair had turned gray at some point.

Yes, even Guo Mo himself will be thirty years old in the next year. Lu Guanying is several years older than Guo Mo, so how can his father not grow old?

"Fourth Senior Brother, where have you been for the past few months, and how come you haven't even received any news from you?"

While Guo Mo asked Haji to remove Lu Chengfeng's half-wet cloak, he personally filled a cup of "Hero Drunk" so that Lu Chengfeng could drink it and warm himself up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty——"

Enjoying the kindness of Master Guo Mo and his apprentice, Lu Chengfeng still thanked him meticulously.

Guo Mo gave him two months to find traces of Ouyang Ke. Unexpectedly, after a year of searching, Lu Chengfeng personally took action and traveled to the Western Liao Kingdom more than 2,000 miles away to find out.

The whereabouts of Ouyang Ke.

It turned out that after Ouyang Ke calmed down after all the troubles in Xiliang Prefecture, he felt a little inexplicably scared.

Recalling that last time he severely damaged "Tingfeng", he only imprisoned the Lu family and his son, which eventually led to Guo Mo's bloodbath of the Murong family. From now on, the Murong family may not be able to rise again.

This time, Ouyang Ke made a big fuss in Xiliang Prefecture, and more than a hundred people from the "Hu Ben Army" died in his hands. He also seriously injured several of Guo Mo's masters, and even injured Murong Yan, the Empress of Xixia.

Ouyang Ke used the vicious "Ice Palm". Of course he knew the consequences of being hit by it. Therefore, in his opinion, neither Chen Xuanfeng nor Murong Yan would end well.

After much thought, he asked Murong Shangde to summon the remaining thirty or so dead members of the Murong family, and for the first time, he took out 10,000 taels of silver and asked Murong Shangde to divide these people into three groups and go north to the Mongolian army camp.

.

Ouyang Ke's calculation was very good. He knew that Guo Mo would definitely take revenge afterwards, so he used the whereabouts of these people to draw Guo Mo's attention to the Mongols.

As long as the Mongolians can fight Guo Mo to the death, Ouyang Ke can sit back and relax for a while.

Even so, Ouyang Ke did not dare to stay in Xixia. After dismissing everyone, he turned and headed west.

Baituo Mountain in the Western Regions, where Ouyang Ke was born, is located in the north of Shuangqi Town at the eastern foot of Kunlun Mountain. It is in the territory of XJ in later generations, and it happened to belong to the Western Liao Kingdom at this time.

Ouyang Ke went all the way west, passed Yumen Pass, entered the Xiliao Kingdom, and went directly back to Baituo Villa.

Therefore, when Lu Chengfeng sent "Tingfeng" to inquire around Xixia territory, he found nothing.

Fortunately, in his despair, Lu Chengfeng still found a clue. To be precise, he found a person, that is Murong Shangde.

After distributing the banknotes and scattering the people, the thoughtful Murong Shangde sensed something fishy. He had followed Ouyang Ke for several years, and he had some understanding of his master's temperament.

When other dead members of the Murong family followed the established route and went north to surrender to the Mongols, Murong Shangde kept an eye on it and secretly followed Ouyang Ke from behind.

However, he knew that Ouyang Ke's martial arts were unfathomable, so he didn't dare to follow him too closely.

Fortunately, this main road from Xiliangzhou to the west in Xixia runs through several large cities in the central and western parts of Xixia.

Ouyang Ke didn't walk very fast, and Murong Shangde even left a day's journey between him and him.

After leaving Xiliang Prefecture, it is Ganzhou, then to Yumen, passing Suzhou, Guazhou, and Shazhou. Seeing that after passing Yumen Pass in front, it is time to leave Xixia and enter the territory of Xiliao Kingdom. Murong Shangde did not go forward.

.

The Western Liao Kingdom was a completely unfamiliar place to Murong Shangde. In his impression, it was even more remote and barren than Xixia.

At this time, he remembered that his master, before becoming the head of the Murong family, had the surname Ouyang, and his home was in the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions.

"It seems that he is going back to his hometown, which made me follow him for more than half a month in vain."

Murong Shangde was a little annoyed. He seemed to have completely lost his direction for a moment and didn't know where to go next. He actually stopped in Shazhou.

After Lu Chengfeng's men failed several times in a row, they finally took Murong Shangde's route. Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng came in person, otherwise it would have been really difficult to capture this man.

However, this Murong Shangde is really cunning. The people from Tingfeng discovered him at the end of September, but this kid escaped time and time again.

I wanted to run all over the western part of Xixia before finally capturing him outside Guazhou City.

"May I have your name?"

Any second-rate master is not simple. He either has his own adventures or has a powerful division or organization behind him.

Even for those top sects, it takes a lot of time and resources to train a second-rate master.

"My Excellency Murong Shangde——"

Since he fell into the opponent's hands, Murong Shangde did not pretend to be a bachelor. After all, was the Murong family still worthy of his death?

"Murong Shangde? He can be considered a figure in the Murong family. My friend, I hope you can clearly see the situation in front of you and tell Ouyang Ke's whereabouts, otherwise..."

Over the years, "Tingfeng" has gotten to know the Murong family very well, not to mention that Murong Shangde is indeed ranked high among the Murong family.

"What can I gain if I tell the truth?"

Murong Shangde was tied up by Wuhua Da, but he did not let go of this bargaining opportunity. He knew that if he missed this last opportunity, he might really have no way out.

"Oh, interesting. Do you think I can't pry your mouth open if you fall into Tingfeng's hands?"

Lu Chengfeng suddenly became a little interested in this Murong Shangde. People like Murong Shangde did not come from a good background. Among the dead soldiers who worked for the Murong family, it was really rare to be able to fight like him.

.

Under such circumstances, those who could rise to the top would be very hard-headed, not to mention that Lu Chengfeng really knew a lot about this Murong Shangde.

After all, this person was also used by "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi. He made a big mistake in the Murong family and was not executed. Instead, he got more opportunities and he was promoted from a third-rate player to a second-rate player.

"You must be Lu Yanluo, right? I've heard of your reputation, and I also know your 'Tingfeng' methods, but if you want to die, you may not be able to stop me!"

Over the years, many people have been caught by "Ting Feng", and there are even more who have been killed by Lu Chengfeng.

Therefore, Lu Chengfeng was given a nickname by the Jianghu, called "Living Yama". As long as any prisoner who fell into Lu Chengfeng's hands was still breathing, he was designated to have all eighteen generations of his ancestors accounted for.

The ground is clear.

"Now that you know it's me, do you dare to negotiate terms? However, considering that it took me a month to catch you, I allow you to make one condition."

Maybe it was because after more than a month of hard work, he finally saw some light, and Lu Chengfeng's mentality relaxed a little.

Maybe, Lu Chengfeng really felt that this kid was still a talent and didn't want to deal with him brutally.

"If I reveal Ouyang Ke's whereabouts, can I join you in 'Listening to the Wind'?"

Murong Shangde took courage for a long time and finally said what he wanted to say.

Regarding the "Tingfeng" organization, he was quite clear about it. When he destroyed various "Tingfeng" organizations before, he also followed the elders there.

Now, Murong Shangde has become a homeless man with no one to rely on. In fact, he was ruthlessly abandoned by Ouyang Ke.

This feeling is very bad, especially for someone like him who has been in a "group" since he was a child.

"Oh, you want to join 'Listen to the Wind'?"

Lu Chengfeng thought that this boy would ask for various conditions, but he never thought that he would actually want to join "Tingfeng".

"You are from the Murong family. You have grown up in the Murong family since you were a child. Why do I believe that you really want to join us?"

When Murong Shangde mentioned that he wanted to join "Tingfeng", Lu Chengfeng only hesitated for a moment, but deep down in his heart, he actually wanted to give him this chance.

You know, as "Tingfeng" has developed to this day, half of the staff were recruited by Lu Chengfeng from the Jianghu, especially in Xixia.

Lu Chengfeng also gathered many horse bandits, bandits, rangers, and even deserters from various countries.

The tasks of "Tingfeng" are complex and diverse, requiring all kinds of people. Within "Tingfeng", only certain core departments require absolute loyalty.

As for more people, they just use each other.

If you want gold, silver and jewelry, it will satisfy you;

What you want to bring glory to your ancestors will satisfy you;

If you want martial arts secrets, it will satisfy you more.

As long as you are worth that price, just sacrifice your life and take credit in exchange.

"As long as I can remember, I have been an orphan. I was adopted by the Murong family, raised and trained as a dead soldier, and later gradually became a steward."

"Today, the Murong family no longer exists, and I was abandoned by the last head of the Murong family, Ouyang Ke."

"If we have to say that the Murong family was kind to me, all these years of fighting can be considered finished. What's more, the person who was kind to me was not Ouyang Ke, but the dead head of the Murong family."

"If Lu Dutong doesn't believe it, I can take you to Ouyang Ke, and even I... I can also worship you as my adopted father."

Well, this Murong Shangde is really willing to take risks. If Guo Mo were here, he would probably get a chill down his spine.

"Oh? Hahaha - you are interesting, kid. Well, I will accept you. Since Murong is not your real surname and you want to make me your adoptive father, you might as well call me 'Lu Shangde' from today on."

.”

Lu Chengfeng has Murong Shangde under control, so of course he doesn't worry about what kind of tricks he can do. Since you want to recognize your godfather, I'll just grant it to you.

"The child Lu Shangde meets his adoptive father——"

Looking at Murong Shangde who was tied up with five flowers, he should be called Lu Shangde now, struggling to kneel in front of Lu Chengfeng, trying to bow down crookedly.

"Haha, get up."

Lu Chengfeng stepped forward and stretched out his hand to break the rope tied to Lu Shangde's body.

Lu Chengfeng accepted Lu Shangde, and naturally knew Ouyang Ke's whereabouts.

However, in my heart I still couldn't completely trust Lu Shangde, so I asked him to accompany me on a trip to the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions.

There are certain risks in this. Let’s not talk about foreign countries and unfamiliar places. Just talking about the White Camel Villa, there may be two Ouyang ruthless people who have extraordinary kung fu.
