Once a crack occurs, it will not disappear easily. When Chen Meng and Xu Wentian left the tea stall, they unconsciously distanced themselves from each other.
Although Chen Meng is a little crazy, he is not stupid. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that there is something wrong with his master's approach. Who knows if he will give himself an ax and use his own head as a stepping stone to his advancement.
Xu Wentian stopped. Chen Meng looked back and said, "Master, why don't you leave?"
Xu Wentian caught a glimpse of Chen Meng's hand unconsciously placed behind his back, ready to show off his ax at any time. He shook his head and said, "Disciple, this is where we are master and disciple, so let's say goodbye."
Chen Meng was startled: "Master, why did you say this? All my abilities were taught to me by you, and I haven't had time to repay you in return."
"Don't mention repayment. If I hadn't been rescued by my master, I would have froze to death on the roadside. These ten years of teaching skills can be regarded as repaying the grace of saving my life. From today on, you and I owe nothing to each other."
Xu Wentian knew that the estrangement between him and Chen Meng had arisen. The two could pretend not to know, but the estrangement would not disappear. One day, the problem would break out, and that would be the point of no return.
It's better to part ways in time, so that the two of you don't owe each other anything and go your separate ways.
Chen Meng gritted his teeth. He didn't know this in his heart. What was angry was that Cheng Dalei ended the relationship between master and disciple with just a few words.
"Master, this disciple was taught this martial arts by you. I just want to repay the master in the future and provide you with the care of your old man until the end of his life. Who would have thought that our love has been exhausted today? Please accept my disciple's respect and express my filial piety."
Chen Meng knelt down on the long street. This scene attracted the attention of passers-by, but Chen Meng ignored it, pressed his hands to the ground, and bowed respectfully to Xu Wentian.
Looking up again, people were coming and going on the street, but Xu Wentian was nowhere to be seen.
"Don't you even want to accept this salute?"
Chen Meng stood up, patted the dust on his knees, and raised his head again. The young man's face was already a bit melancholy.
After Xu Wentian left, he tried his best to find Cheng Dalei's traces and continued to follow Cheng Dalei.
He still refused to give up, and it was not difficult to do this. Because Xu Wentian discovered that there were at least seven pairs of eyes behind Cheng Dalei and the other three. Of course, including Xu Wentian, there were eight pairs of eyes.
These eyes stared at his every move. Of course, Xu Wentian couldn't tell who these eyes belonged to.
Cheng Dalei passed by a cosmetics stand, and not long after, the girl selling cosmetics was taken away. He rewarded the beggar on the roadside with a few pennies, and soon the beggar disappeared.
Li Letian, Baili Sheng, or various vassal kings? Who is the master behind these eyes?
Cheng Dalei obviously realized this, and took Xu Shenji and Liu Facai for a stroll. It looked like an outsider coming to Chang'an for the first time, and everything was new to him.
Occasionally, I chatted with the vendors on the roadside, and occasionally walked into the jewelry shop to take a look at the new designs coming from the palace.
Xu Wentian followed them not far away, still thinking about how to take advantage of Cheng Dalei's momentum to get ahead.
Suddenly there was a chaotic sound in front, and the crowd rushed forward. Cheng Dalei was a person who loved to join in the fun, and Liu Facai and Xu Shenji were no exception. Seeing the three people rushing forward, Xu Wentian took a few steps and joined in.
past.
In front is the City God's Temple, and there is an open space in front of the City God's Temple. At this moment, there are two people surrounding the crowd. They are both tall and unarmed, but there is an atmosphere of tension.
Cheng Dalei listened to the comments from people around him and just realized what happened. Of these two people, a man with triangular eyes was a busker, and a middle-aged man in rich clothes, but he didn't know where he came from.
But it turned out that it was the middle-aged man who made provocations first, saying that you dare to eat in Chang'an City these days. The triangular-eyed man was furious. The two started arguing with each other, and then they were about to fight.
The people in Chang'an City were willing to watch the excitement and kept cheering and making noises. Cheng Dalei was followed by several pairs of eyes and was a little bored, so he wanted to kill some time.
The man in the rich clothes and the triangle-eyed man had already started to move at this moment. The two of them were very strict and very organized. This could not help but make Cheng Dalei look at him with admiration. There are also experts in the market.
In the end, no one expected that it was the poor performer who defeated the man in fine clothes and kicked him to the ground hard.
There was a burst of cheers from all around, and the man clasped his hands in fists: "Dear fellow villagers and elders, brother Wang Tao, I first came to Guibao land just to make a living. I didn't mean to hurt anyone, it's just that he bullied me again and again, and I asked you to support me if you have money.
This is a money market. As long as brothers can have a full meal, they will also remember your kindness."
Everyone around saw the excitement and donated generously. Cheng Dalei also gave away two taels of silver.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the man named Wang Tao also packed up his bags and left. The man in fine clothes was also missing from the field.
Xu Wentian rubbed his eyes and suddenly realized that as the crowd dispersed, Cheng Dalei could no longer be seen in front of him.
Not only him, but several spies in the crowd also lost track of him and stood there, looking around.
Xu Wentian searched several streets but did not find Cheng Dalei. However, he saw a group of people appearing under the big willow tree in front of him.
The man in fine clothes and Wang Tao suddenly appeared among them. The relationship between the two seemed to be very close, and there was no hint of the tense atmosphere just now.
At the other end of the street, Cheng Dalei and three others quietly appeared. Liu Facai rolled his eyes and said: "Master, what am I talking about? These two people must be in the same group. They are putting on a show for everyone to see. There are also some others.
Mix in the crowd and take a look, a lot of people must have lost their money today."
Liu Facai himself used deception to travel around the world, and he knew more about these tricks than Cheng Dalei.
"Tsk, you really have read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles." Xu Shenji sighed, with a look of eagerness in his eyes: "Master, are we going to have a fight?"
"What are you talking about?" Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes at him: "What kind of identity do I have as a leader? I am about to be crowned king. How can I argue with a few thieves?"
As soon as the voice fell, I saw a few people walking out from behind the willow tree.
"Hey, I opened this mountain and planted these trees. When you ate in Chang'an City, did you pay homage to my dock?"
Wang Tao and his group looked at each other in confusion. When he saw that there were only three people on the other side, a sneer appeared on his lips.
"Boy, I put the music in the wrong place. If you don't get out, grandpa may end up ruining your life."
Cheng Dalei had no intention of seeing injustice on the road, who would have thought that someone would want to do this. He took a few steps forward, and after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he sighed helplessly.
Why is it him?
The person who came out to complain was none other than Li Xingzai, the Xiaoyao King of Luofeng City.
