"I have something to ask the young master, please come with us!"
There were six beggars in total. They chose the alley with the least traffic and blocked Huang Shang's advance and retreat as soon as they appeared.
There were more figures guarding both ends, moving in an orderly manner, not slacking off because he was a scholar.
The leader was a middle-aged beggar, lean and strong, with five bags hanging behind him, staring at Huang Shang without blinking.
Huang Shang knew at a glance that these guys were old gangsters, and it was useless to resist on his own.
But he was Huang Shang, a mighty and unyielding scholar, and he shouted loudly without hesitation: "In Kaifeng, Tokyo, under the emperor's feet, robbing people in the street, do you think the laws of the Song Dynasty are nothing?"
The leading beggar had a calm face, and the other beggar pointed to the Jinshui River. There were dark cave entrances on both sides.
He sneered and said, "Have you seen it? It's called the Worry-Free Cave. Many thieves take shelter in it after committing crimes. These ditches in the capital extend in all directions and are hundreds of miles long in total. No one can find them if they get in. There are some good people.
The little lady was dragged into the cave and suffered a disaster, hehe!"
Several other beggars laughed together.
The look in his eyes pierced his face, sending chills all over his body.
Huang Shang knew that these beggars were not threats.
Everywhere, there is a dark side, commonly known as the underground world.
This worry-free cave is recorded in Lu You's "Notes of Laoxue'an" and is a place where filth and evil practices hide in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo.
When Bao Zhengquan learned about Kaifeng Mansion, he was helpless to deal with the thieves hiding inside.
In the world of [Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness] or [Bao Qingtian], the scum of Wuyou Cave would have been captured by Zhan Zhao long ago.
It's a pity that Bao Zheng in this world is just a good official who enforces the law impartially and is upright, not a famous detective, and Zhan Zhao does not exist.
So in the face of the naked threat, Huang Shang deliberately remained silent and his body trembled in response.
"Let's go!"
The middle-aged beggar at the head saw that Huang Shang was shocked and stretched out his hand to push his shoulder.
However, at this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded not far away, followed closely by the sound of a crossbow piercing the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of whistles is a warning, and the sound of crossbows is an enemy attack.
The six beggars were reminded and without saying a word, they immediately threw themselves down and narrowly missed dozens of arrows.
"He's a fast archer from Kaifeng Mansion!"
"Walk!"
The leading beggar glanced around and saw a group of well-trained people rushing over not far away, shouting in a low voice.
The beggar lying on the ground flexed his waist and bounced up flexibly, catching wind under his feet, and immediately retreated towards Wuyou Cave.
But the beggar who threatened him had a malicious look in his eyes, and before running away, he slapped Huang Shang on the back.
"Well done!"
Huang Shang was on guard for a long time, and instead of being surprised, he was overjoyed.
This body is indeed that of an ordinary person, and its actions cannot keep up with its thinking.
But the person who did this was just an ordinary disciple of the Beggar Clan, not a master. He had been concentrating on it and taking precautions in advance. It was not difficult to avoid this attack.
But Huang Shang was not prepared to do that. Instead, he adjusted his body and leaned back, as if it was a subconscious panic reaction.
But in this case, if he was hit hard by a palm, he might roll down the river, which would be quite dangerous.
This is a temptation.
If you want a bright future, you have to take risks now.
"Reincarnators, if you are really watching, why don't you save me if you can!"
Sure enough, just as Huang Shang was thinking silently in his heart, a chill suddenly appeared in the air.
The beggar's dirty hands seemed to have grasped an invisible ice cube, and his whole body was filled with chills, as if he was about to freeze, and he was shivering from the cold.
The beggar was not afraid of the sudden appearance of the fast archers, but this inexplicable chill was very frightening.
The beggar glanced around in fear, not daring to do anything anymore. He rolled like a lazy donkey on the ground, avoided the second round of arrows, slid down the slope protection, got into the Wuyou Cave, and disappeared.
Slipping away.
"I'm sure, the appearance of the beggar gang is the guidance of the reincarnations. They are observing me secretly!"
When the beggar was stopped, Huang Shang did not readjust his movements. He scratched at random with both hands and fell to the ground.
He looked embarrassed, but in fact he just had dirty clothes.
This flash of lightning is a psychological game of mutual testing.
At this time, two people rushed over and supported him: "Shengzhong, are you okay?"
They are Zhang Zai's disciples, You Shixiong and Zhong Shidao.
Huang Shang wrote a letter before to ask for help and secret protection from his two classmates.
You Shixiong has extraordinary martial arts skills, and Zhongshi Dao comes from a family of generals.
Only with their help can we invite the fast archers under the Kaifeng Mansion, who will be the policemen of later generations.
Seeing that Huang Shang was only slightly frightened but not injured, the two of them felt relieved.
"Damn it, these charlatans are so lawless, we must investigate them to the end!"
Even though there was a near miss, You Shixiong was still angry, and Zhong Shidao's slightly immature face showed a stern look.
This is the capital, under the emperor's feet, and people in the martial arts world dare to rob people in the street. It is simply lawless.
But Huang Shang looked at the disapproval on the faces of those quick shooters, and knew that the so-called pursuit to the end could only stop at slogans.
There is no way, snakes have snake ways, rats have rat ways.
Many times, no matter how powerful the government is, it is impossible to bring all areas under its control.
After taking out the money and thanking the arresters, Huang Shang insisted on studying.
The three of them went to Zhang Zai's house together.
After the class, Master Zhong told Huang Shang in a low voice that he would calm down the trouble and make him feel at ease.
This so-called pacification is not about arresting those beggars, but the black hands behind this incident.
During class, Huang Shang told him about Chen Sheng. With the power of the Zhong family, it would not be difficult to settle this matter.
Of course, this owed a big favor.
Will need to pay it back in the future.
After struggling for a long time, Huang Shang returned to his residence, exhausted both physically and mentally.
"We must start practicing!"
This experience made him realize firsthand the importance of strength.
It's not just about fighting, it's also about energy and physical strength.
A star-level powerhouse can stay awake for several days and remain in high spirits.
If this is used to study...
Okay, it's a demon.
The most important thing to improve your strength is to cope with emergencies.
After all, this is not the real Song Dynasty in history, but the "Tian Long Ba Bu" with powerful Jianghu forces.
It’s still the same sentence, but if others’ designs don’t collapse, the people are gone.
"This time we have classmates to help us, so we didn't give the two reincarnations a chance to show off."
"After the Chen Sheng incident is over, what new methods will they use?"
"I can't remain passive like this. I have to find a way to take the initiative!"
Huang Shang opened the door while imagining various scenarios in his mind.
Only by confirming the existence of reincarnators can we have a clear target.
Otherwise, it might just be a battle of wits and courage with the air.
To create an incident, conflicts are needed.
Chen Sheng was most likely to be killed because he was jealous of himself and did something unknown.
But now that the Zhong family has come forward, unless the Chen family doesn't want to hang out in Kaifeng Mansion, it's time to stop.
But the moment he entered the inner room, Huang Shang's footsteps suddenly stopped and his body tensed up.
Because he found that standing in front of his desk was a middle-aged man with a stout and rock-solid figure.
The man was bearded, weather-beaten, dressed in beggar's clothes, holding a gourd in one hand and drinking wine.
Huang Shang walked in. Without raising his head, he asked directly: "Wang Jiantong of a certain family came to ask the young master, did you harm the young man of the Chen family?"
