Farewell to Beijing

When they arrived at the capital, Zhang Qingshan and his colleagues handed over the escort silver in a hurry, and then found a small inn to stay.

At that time, it was not long before Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne. Although the Manchu Tartars ruled China, the world was still peaceful, and the capital also presented a scene of prosperity.

Long Tiangang pesters Luo Tianqiu to go shopping. Luo Tianqiu is trying to talk to Chief Escort Zhang about last night's events. He is very competitive and needs to find out everything. He has no idea to go shopping. At this time, Long Tiangang's child had a temper attack. He was originally very smart. Although the escort silver had been delivered, he knew that the escort silver was not ordinary. He was in a mood of depression and agitation for a long time along the way. In addition to the bustling atmosphere in the capital, he was so anxious that he could not hold his breath any longer. He said that he would have TianQiu accompany him to play. Everyone also had the same meaning, so he didn't advise him deeply. It is rare to come to the capital. Everyone is willing to visit the capital.

After all, Luo Tianqiu is a young man. After Tiangang's disturbance, he saw the people's eager and happy look, and his mind was also shaken.

From the clear and quiet mountains and forests to the colorful world where cars are like dragons and horses are like water, the young people's hot hearts naturally beat. However, Chief Escort Zhang is still thoughtful and insists on staying in the store and sitting alone.

Ten of them walked through the front door to the overpass. The capital was indeed magnificent. When you enter the overpass, you can see the bustle and bustle, including jugglers, jugglers, storytellers, Beijing Opera performers, etc. They had never seen such a noisy scene before, so they looked here and there. They were overwhelmed with excitement.

Both Luo Tianqiu and Long Tiangang grew up in deep mountains and ancient temples, and they were devoted to learning from their teachers. Not to mention seeing the world, I haven't even heard of it. There are also such bustling places in the world that are magnificent and noisy. It was Luo Tianqiu who was calm in his work. After all, a young man of eighteen or nine years old was already dazzled by such an atmosphere. He threw himself into the strange playing and singing, and his gloomy thoughts were swept away. Not to mention Long Tiangang, who spoke briskly and cheerfully. Luo Tianqiu's sleeves were almost torn apart by him. They had a good time. When the show ended, the afterglow was still lingering, and it was midnight to get out of the overpass.

When they returned to the inn, they all went back to their rooms to rest. Zhang Qingshan originally intended to share a room with Luo Tianqiu. Luo Tianqiu knocked on the door several times, but the people inside were unaware of it and were all asleep. He was so anxious that he secretly used his internal power and shook the bolt of the door. When he entered the door, he saw the old hero lying on the bed and snoring. Tian Qiu quickly lit the lamp with a flint, and saw Zhang Qingshan sleeping red and smelling of wine in his breath. Luo Tianqiu quickly pointed at others, and his strength was just right. Zhang Qingshan woke up slowly.

"Ah! Brother is back. When is it? How can I sleep so soundly?" he said, turning over and sitting up.

"When did the elder sleep?" Luo Tianqiu did not answer his question, but asked another question.

"After you left, I drank and drank by myself, and lay down slowly. Is it..."

"Of course!" Luo Tianqiu nodded definitely. "Similar to that night?"

When Zhang Qingshan heard what he said, he thought to himself that if someone else did it, he would have crossed the bridge! I could not help but burst into a cold sweat and touched my body, "It's broken!"

It turned out that he found a gold poppy on the man in yellow who was killed by him that night, but now it is gone. Tian Qiu hurriedly searched around, and sure enough, he pressed a small ball of paper under the glass. He opened it and saw that there were only two words on it: "Be careful"! A poppy was placed underneath.

"It seems that the poppy is the symbol of the 'Demon Cult'. The man in yellow wearing the gold poppy is a small leader. I have watched the other three people, and they have not found the gold poppy." Chief Escort Zhang looked at Luo Tianqiu. "From the situation of Heisong Ridge, they have a small group of four people. We have eliminated two of them, and I'm afraid they have attracted their attention!"

"However, he charmed the seniors with sweating pills, but didn't do it. It's a bit puzzling, 'Demon Sect' is not a good kind!"

"Well, yes." Zhang Qingshan thought for a moment.

"What's your opinion?"

"There is only one explanation. Let's follow his will. That day was the same thing as today. It was done by one person. That day was meant to rob the escort. Today is a warning. Are there any 'Demon Sect' associates among us?"

"Ah! I see." Luo Tianqiu smiled after a moment of silence, "Master reminded the dreamer with a word. Today's moves are all to dispel our doubts and make us believe that there are no spies among our people. In fact, two people did two things that day and today. One was the undercover eyeliner, and the other was the person who followed us. The escort silver did not arrive, but you still have other plans to leave the elder. The trackers have other things to do, and their people will not leave traces. So, take the gold poppy , leave a piece of paper. It's really killing two birds with one stone. What a powerful evil cult thief! " "I live in fear all the time, and I dare not relax any more about the 'Demon Sect'." Zhang Qingshan said with a sullen face, "I didn't know that the 'Demon Sect' actually put a poisonous snake beside me, but I didn't notice it. Ha ha, well, the 'Demon Sect' is worthy of its reputation, not only has high martial arts, but also has a strong mind!"

"Elder, don't worry! Poisonous snakes always hurt people. It is said that good and evil will be rewarded." Luo Tianqiu hurriedly comforted Zhang Qingshan. "I just don't know, what's your plan after the senior dismissed the" Four Seas Escort Agency "?"

"Well, I'm going to open a 'Four Seas Martial Arts School' in Dali."

"Have you ever mentioned this to anyone?"

"Of course I did. Otherwise, the follower of the 'Demon Cult', why should we be lenient with children tonight? Ha ha!"

"Senior wise!" Luo Tianqiu raised his thumb and smiled: "It seems that we are not only competing with the 'Demon Sect', but also fighting wits!"

"The use of military force is just reckless, or wise!"

Luo Tianqiu nodded and smiled, "You are right. There is no big problem for you to go home along the way, but you must be careful in the future!"

Chief Escort Zhang asked, "What's your plan?"

"The prosperity of the capital fascinated Brother Long Tiangang. He couldn't leave for a day or two, so he had to stay here and have fun with him for a few days, and then discuss the destination again. He must go to the 'Four Seas Martial Arts School' to visit his predecessors in the future!"

"Where are you talking, young brother?" Chief Escort Zhang said modestly: "Before and after learning, the two young brothers have the ability to master martial arts. If you come to my residence in the future, you should not hesitate to teach me. What's more, the two are the benefactors of my" Four Seas Escort Agency ". The" Four Seas Escort Agency "has never lost its reputation. It is really unforgettable and unforgettable that the two young brothers have helped each other all the time. If you say something bad, you can only hope that the two young brothers will come down early, so as not to worry about the old man day and night!"

"The elder is serious," Luo Tianqiu smiled respectfully and said with a solemn expression: "Only when Brother Long Tiangang is happy, he should go to the elder martial arts school to find out, and must cut off the claws of the 'Demon Sect'!"

"Well, listen to the words of the little old man. It was inconvenient for him to speak, but now the little old man can't stop talking. He is excellent in martial arts, smart and intelligent. He is a master of martial arts and courageous, so be careful. Your whereabouts have been exposed. The 'Demon Sect' will never stop, but will be relieved. Brother Tiangang is young and energetic. After all, he is childish, and he needs to have more heart. Be sure to gather together. Everyone will work together and share the same hatred Don't fight alone. If you don't mind it, I would like to be my follower. If you have anything to do, you just need to make a noise, and I will do it! "

"Thank you very much, senior!"

The next day, Luo Tianqiu and Long Tiangang left the outskirts of Beijing for a long time after parting with Chief Escort Zhang. Walk through the overpass and the Great Wall. Time flies. I played for more than ten days unconsciously.

Long Tiangang is still full of ideas. The young people are curious. With their excellent martial arts, they are not afraid of heaven and earth. They pester TianQiu to go into the Forbidden City at night to see the residence of the emperor and open their eyes. No matter how bold Luo Tianqiu is, he dare not break into the Forbidden City.

Just look at the high wall beside the moat, and you will know that it is strictly forbidden; At the foot of the emperor, if you are careless, you will be killed. Besides, there are evil cult thieves who spy on themselves from time to time; The warning words of old hero Zhang's parting are still in his ears, and he dare not move. He had to calm down and enlighten Tiangang, and there would be opportunities in the future. After exterminating the evil cult thieves and finding out the details, he could even go to visit the imperial city in disguise. It is better to have fun in the future than to bump into and act recklessly now.

After so many times of good words and persuasion, Tiangang was convinced; In addition, the two of them have been together for a long time, and Long Tiangang also has admiration for Luo Tianqiu. He thinks that Tian Qiu is superior to others in everything.

Luo Tianqiu is modest, calm and calm. He doesn't care about Long Tiangang's willful temper. He even deliberately teases him, making him laugh and laugh, and then obediently. In this way, the two boys get along very well. The fledgling youngster, in this bustling and fickle capital city, has responded well and lived happily.

For a long time, Luo Tianqiu felt that he had nothing to do all day and that his mind was empty and boring. Besides, money is not made of stone. The capital spends a lot of money. The hundreds of taels of silver left by old hero Zhang are very few. Long Tiangang also felt tired of playing. They decided to go south to Dali Mansion and go to Zhang Laoxiong's "Four Seas Escort Agency".

They paid for the rest of the money, bought two good horses, left the capital and headed south.
