Everywhere in Jianghu is Wonderful

“No more fooling around!” When he entered the room, Shen Qian Feng put him on the bed, with some vague anger between his eyebrows.

“You left when you said you would, but now you have no right to control me!” Ye Jin slapped him away and pulled the blanket over his head, “Get out!”

Shen Qian Feng’s lips moved, but in the end, he did not say anything. After sighing silently in his heart, he turned around and left the room.

The dark guards were disappointed to see this, how could he get out so quickly? How are we supposed to spread our minds like this?

It was late in the evening, but Shen Qian Feng had no desire to sleep. So he leapt up to the top of a tree and gazed at the starry sky.

The breeze blew off some flowers. The dark guard threw a bottle of wine at him and looked at him with a “man knows what he’s talking about” look!

Shen Qian Feng smiled and shook his head, “Thank you.”

Well, you’re welcome! We are really a bunch of sweet little cotton pants.

With half a bottle of sake in his throat, Shen Qian Feng’s mind was calmed and he recessed his eyes to look at the courtyard, where he saw the dim light of Ye Jin’s room, reflecting a dappled silhouette in the window.

The Dark Guards sighed as they dragged their cheeks. Even looking at the window, he could see such a tender gaze!

Inside the fortress, Qin Shao Yu is lurking in the courtyard with Master Xingdu, looking in through a gap in the window, together with Zhao Wu and two guards.

A large bunk bed was occupied by seven or eight people, both young and old, and not even separated from the men. The room was filled with a strange fragrance, so sweet that it was disgusting.

“The man at the back is called Zhou Dahu, a handyman who helps the cook with the water.” Qin Shao Yu lowered his voice and said, “I am similar to him in height, and with the beard to hide it, I should be able to pass for him.”

Zhenren nodded, “Who is the old man on the outside?”

“I don’t know, but he looks old, so I don’t think he’s a man who does rough work.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Nine times out of ten, he’s a cook.”

“Find a way to get them both out.” Zhenren said, “You and I will pretend to be these two people.”

“But that old man seems to be hunchbacked.” Qin Shao Yu said, “He doesn’t look tall either.”

“No matter.” Zhenren said, “Although he is old, he is still more than capable of pretending to be a hunchback.”

Qin Shao Yu nodded and lit an additional incense to make sure the people would not wake up again anytime soon before diving into the house.

Zhou Dahu was snoring loudly, and his mouth was still slurring dreamy words. Qin Shao Yu’s palm fell and knocked him out, then he changed his clothes and disguise as quickly as possible and handed the bearded man to Zhao Wu, “Take him out to Hua Tang and see if he can be cured.”

Zhenren then changed his clothes and disguised himself as a hunchbacked chef.

Zhao Wu and the dark guards carried the two men and jumped out of the window and soon disappeared into the night.

“The palms of their hands are black, they’ve all been struck by compulsion.” Qin Shao Yu examined them with great delicacy, “Compulsion plus soul-attracting incense, Feng Jiuyi actually had to take such precautions even for these unarmed handymen.”

“So now, in all probability, those sect leaders have also been infected with compulsion.” Zhenren sighed, “I’m afraid we’ll have a headache.”

The sound of talking came from inside the courtyard, Qin Shao Yu and Zhenren looked at each other and quickly lay back down on the bed.

The house was kicked open and a few members of the Demon Cult came in and took a head count before kicking a man in the middle, “Get up!”

Qin Shao Yu frowned slightly, the room had been lit with soul-soothing incense, and the man might not wake up for a while.

“Don’t sleep, wake up!” After calling out for a few times and seeing no response, the demon members became impatient and picked the man up.

Qin Shao Yu gripped his concealed weapon in his sleeve, his brain was still thinking of a solution, but the man who had been pulled out just came to his senses and said in a daze, “What’s the matter?”

“Go and make five bowls of fried noodles, quick!” The churchman urged.

The man responded muffled and slowly left the door, heading stiffly for the kitchen next door.

“I can’t believe that old woman’s compulsion has some use.” The members of the Cult sat at the table, chatting as they waited for the noodles to be fried, “One by one, they are more obedient than the other.”

“That’s right.” Another man laughed shrilly, “In another ten days and a half months when the sect master is ready, it will be just a matter of time before the White Dao martial world is levelled.”

“By that time, when the master has unified the world, it will not be difficult for him to invade the capital.” Another person said, “What’s the point of commanding the Jianghu, when that time comes, the whole world will be yours.”

Qin Shao Yu was disgusted by what he heard. He was obviously a straw man, but he still had the intention to swallow the sky.

“Send another man over to help him and make us a nice meal. It’s been a long night catching toads, a bowl of fried noodles is not enough.” One of the members threw a coin at him and it hit him right in the face, “Get up, old man, go and fry some vegetables and make some soup.”

The man stumbled to his feet, his eyes dazed.

“What are you waiting for? Go!” the fierce urging of the Demon Cult.

He turned around slowly and walked out the door as stiffly as the man before him.

“If it wasn’t for his ability to cook well, I would have cut him down.” A man grumbled in discontent.

“There’ll be plenty of time for you to get your fill of killing people.” Another man said, “The White Dao has been arrogant for so many years, but this time it has taken its toll.”

“The master has achieved great power, and he has captured so many sect leaders, so it will be difficult for the White Dao to get back on its feet this time.”

Qin Shao Yu lay on his side and listened intently to what they had to say about the location of the White Daoists. Unfortunately, they had already changed the subject and started talking about what kind of job they could get if Feng Jiuyi were to unify the martial arts world.

A forty-year-old cook beside him yawned and turned around to hug Qin Shao Yu.

Palace Master Qin: ……

In the summer, her clothes were thin and the cook had given birth to five or six children, so her breasts were unusually large. Qin Shao Yu was held tightly in her arms, neither moving nor not moving, it was worse than death. The seconds passed like years, but Shen Qian Ling’s face flashed in his mind.

If the little jealous wife had seen this scene, he would have fainted ……

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the food to be ready in the kitchen. The man from earlier fell back into bed and slept heavily, and Zhenren hunched over and entered the house.

“Let’s go, it’s getting cold, let’s eat and go to bed early!” A few of the Demon Cult members went out noisily and the door was locked again. Qin Shao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the cook away and sat up – he was about to be bored to death.

Zhenren: ……

“Don’t tell Ling-er.” Qin Shao Yu had a hard time saying anything.

Zhenren coughed twice.

“Just now, I heard them say that those ten or so sect leaders should not be dead yet.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Also, they seem to have caught toads most of the night, do you know what they are for?”

Instead of answering his question, he gave the man from before a pat on the back, “Get up.”

Qin Shao Yu was slightly surprised.

The man was lying motionless on the bed.

“If you pretend again, I’ll beat you up!” Zhenren threatened.

The man still did not move.

Zhenren sighed, “Then I have no choice but to kill.”

The man: ……

“Can’t you pay it back?” Zhenren spoke in a dissatisfied tone.

The man had to sit up, his eyes no longer as dazed as before, and he didn’t look compelled at all.

“Are you alright?” Qin Shao Yu frowned and quickly scanned the rest of the group.

“Don’t look, they’re all poisoned, only I’m fine.” The man looked at the two men in the moonlight, with some defensiveness in his eyes, “Who are you?”

“Why are you all right?” Qin Shao Yu did not answer his question.

“First tell me who you are.” The man was very alert.

“The reason I tried to get in is to deal with Feng Jiuyi.” Zhenren said, “Unless you want to join the Demon Sect, you can only trust us.”

The other man was still hesitant.

“You should recognise me.” Qin Shao Yu removed the mask from his face.

When he saw who he was, the man was instantly surprised, ” Palace Master Qin? I have seen you at the banquet.”

“Now can you tell me why you are not poisoned?” Qin Shao Yu put the mask back on.

“I don’t know, I’m probably just naturally fit.” The man finally took off his guard, “That day when Feng Jiuyi came in, he tied us together and forced us to take the pills. When I woke up, I saw that the rest of us were already demented, so I pretended to be like that and tried to find a way to escape.”

“Even the smoke you used didn’t knock him out, so I guess he was born with a different physique.” Zhenren looked at him, “What’s your name?”

“Zhang Dafu.” The man said, “And this old gentleman is?”

“My name is Sai Ghost Hand.” Zhenren pointed at Qin Shao Yu, “It’s his master.”

Palace Master Qin: ……

It’s not the right time to worry about this, and I’m sure Master won’t know that he’s in the South China Sea.

Let’s put up with it.

“How did you see that I was acting?” Zhang Dafu was baffled.

“When I went to the kitchen, I saw you spitting into the pot.” Zhenren stroked his beard and said, “Well done.”

Zhang Dafu smiled awkwardly and asked, “Are you two here to get everyone out?”

“Do you know where the dozen or so Sect Masters captured by Feng Jiuyi are being held?” Qin Shao Yu asked.

“I really don’t know.” Zhang Dafu said, “We have been imprisoned here, and it is difficult for us to get out of the house, let alone find out information.”

“Do you remember what they said in the past?” Qin Shao Yu asked.

Zhang Dafu shook his head, “Normally, they rarely come, and when they do, they only hastily order us to cook, and it is rare for them to stay in the room and talk like today.”

The situation was even more clueless than expected, and Qin Shao Yu frowned slightly.

“What did you say about toads?” Zhenren Xingdou suddenly said.

“Those devil sect members said they had caught toads most of the night while waiting for their meals.” Qin Shao Yu said, “I don’t know what Feng Jiuyi is up to again.”

“What else can do with these poisonous creatures?” Zhenren tsked, “Nine times out of ten, he’s thinking of making compulsion again.”

“Oh yes, I think I heard them talking vaguely last time about digging a big earth pit in the north.” Zhang Dafu remembered something, “We worked through the night to cook for those people.”

“To the north of the Qianwu Water Cottage is a swampy pond, there must be a poisonous fog and miasma underground.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Tomorrow night I’ll find a chance to spy on it.”

“We’ll just have to see what happens.” Zhenren looked at Zhang Dafu, “Are you willing to join us in eradicating the demon sect?”

“Of course I am.” He nodded desperately, “The Demon Cult has done a lot of evil, so if you don’t mind me, I’ll do my best to help.”

“Tell me first, what kind of cooking does this old man do well?” Zhenren pointed to his face.

The man said, “Uncle Zhang is the best chef in the village. He is good at everything from Sichuan, Fujian, Guangdong and Hunan, and is best at making spicy roast mountain chicken and drunken fish lips.”

The real man said with equanimity, “I’ve never heard of such a dish.”

Qin Shao Yu sighed, “Well, picked the one with the most difficulty in pretending.” Even if they look similar, how can they get by with cooking?

“That’s not a big problem, Uncle Zhang is my master, and originally when he grew old, the position of chef would be mine.” Zhang Dafu said, “I’ve learnt his best dishes to the extent that they are 80% or 90% similar, so ordinary people will never be able to eat them.”

“That’s good.” Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then if they ask me to cook in the future, you will join me.”

“Okay.” Zhang Dafu nodded his head and wondered, “Where have you taken the original Uncle Zhang and Zhou Dahu?”

“Don’t worry, they will not be in danger and will be treated by a doctor.” Qin Shao Yu said, “But if you join us in the fight against the Demon Sect, you will inevitably be in danger.”

“Are you afraid?” Zhenren asked.

Zhang Dafu said honestly, “Yes.”

Zhenren was amused by him, “If you regret it, you can go on pretending to be stupid, we will never force you to cooperate.”

“No more pretending, I’ll do it with you.” Zhang Dafu said, “If you hadn’t come, I would probably have pretended for the rest of my life, but now that I have a way out, I’ll take a chance even if I’m afraid.”

“You’re a good young man.” Zhenren patted him on the shoulder, “When this is over, I’ll take you to the palace’s royal kitchen.”

“Really?” Zhang Dafu was delighted.

“Of course, I’ll do what I say.” Zhenren said, “I’ll get you another wife, one even more beautiful than Princess Niang Niang.”

Zhang Dafu hemmed and hawed, “That would be great.”

Qin Shao Yu laughed heartily and did not care to listen to the two of them chatting anymore, so he leaned back on the bed and stared.

As the day dawned, the silence of the cottage was soon broken. A silver bell sounded from the courtyard, and the people in the courtyard got up slowly and came out of the house with dumbfounded eyes.

A man in white was standing outside the door, his lapel still had “I am White Lotus” written on it in cursive. Qin Shao Yu was amused to see that this man had been secretly let go by Yao Qian, but he had not expected to meet him again here.

“Go and cook.” Bai Lianhua put down the silver bell in his hand, “Make more buns and roast chicken, and have them ready by noon!”

Zhang Dafu answered in an urn-like voice and led the crowd slowly towards the kitchen.

The sound of frying was heard, and Bai Lianhua turned his head and left the courtyard, leaving the two members of the Demon Cult to watch the crowd.

In the main hall, Feng Jiuyi was leaning on a soft purple couch, flipping through a booklet in front of him.

“Your Holiness.” Bai Lianhua came in to report, “We have sent more men to the north to dig a pit, we should be able to finish it within seven days.”

“Not bad.” Feng Jiuyi smiled coldly, “Where are the ten or so people?”

“Granny Jin Shi has been putting smoke into the chamber where they are imprisoned, so they will not wake up in the middle of the day.” Bai Lianhua said, “When the compulsion pit in the north is ready, we can lock them in, and in ten days and a half months, they will have doubled their martial arts skills but their minds will be dispersed, and they will be at our disposal.”

Feng Jiuye shook his cup of tea, his smile cold and strange.

At Zhou’s home, a group of people were gathered in the courtyard, waiting for Hua Tang to treat the two men brought back by the secret guards last night.

“How did it go?” When she came out, they all gathered around her.

Hua Tang looked a little tired, “The young one is in good health and I can still revive him; it’s the other old man who is a bit difficult.”

“How are they doing now?” Shen Qian Feng asked.

“I have given them silver needles, they will not wake up for the time being, and their lives will not be in danger.” Hua Tang said, “I think they will wake up at night.”

“You should rest first.” Zhao Wu said, ” The whole night without sleep is not the way to stay up.”

The guards shook their heads, this tone of voice was not at all affectionate. Shouldn’t they be holding the left guardian’s shoulders with tears in his eyes and saying something like, ‘My heart is torn by knives when I see you so haggard!’

“Go and sleep for a while, we’ll take care of here.” Shen Qian Feng also said, “Don’t be too tired.”

Hua Tang nodded and headed for her own place.

The dark guards look at Xiao Wu with a particularly anxious look – what are you doing, follow her, do you want the wife?

Zhao Wu: ……

“Jojo!” The little phoenix woke up from its sleep and twisted out of the door to bark twice, happily striding after Hua Tang.

In the next instant, it was rushed down by the dark guards and carried back to the roof – you can’t steal the wife from Xiao Wu!

“…… Jojo.” The little phoenix was slightly confused.

The dark guards desperately waved their hands at Zhao Wu, we have kidnapped the treacherous young palace master, why don’t you hurry up and go?

Xiao Wu was headache and helpless, only to turn his head to follow out.

“Jo!” The little phoenix opened its mouth for something to eat.

Shen Qian Ling reached out in the courtyard, “Come down.”

The fur ball rushed down in a cannonball stance.

“It’s fat.” Shen Qian Ling held it on the table and took out beef jerky and peanuts from his pocket to feed it.

The dried meat was so sweet and spicy that the little phoenix pecked and chirped vigorously, expressing its inner pleasure. Then the next moment, he was pinched by his uncle.

Shen Qian Ling looked at his brother in bewilderment, “What are you doing?”

“Just eat it, why are you shouting at the top of your lungs?” Shen Qian Feng coldly let go of his hand.

Shen Qian Ling was embarrassed and said, “You want to take care of this too?”

As a cute little phoenix, shouldn’t you be more lively and cute? This is normal!

“Chirp!” The fur ball barked again and then quickly hid in Shen Qian Ling’s arms.

Shen Qian Feng: ……

A wooden door to the side was creaked open and Ye Jin came out in his outer robe, yawning lazily.

Shen Qian Ling was surprised and quickly whispered to his elder brother, “Are you afraid of waking up Lord Ye Gu?”

Shen Qian Feng snorted coldly, “I was just annoyed with myself.”

Pretend you are, Shen Qian Ling expressed his contempt with a glance.

Hypocritical human beings ah ……

“How come you are all in the courtyard?” Ye Jin was a little surprised.

Xiao Zhan told the story of last night’s events in broad strokes.

“Compulsion?” Ye Jin frowned, “I’ll go take a look.”

“Hua Tang has already seen it, what are you doing there.” Shen Qian Feng said coldly, “You’re not even well, so don’t make a fuss.”

“Why can’t I see it?” Ye Jin looked at him for a moment and snorted, “You are nosy.”

Shen Qian Feng’s face was sombre.

“There’s no harm in taking a look.” Shen Qian Ling rounded up the situation, “Maybe Master Ye Gu can cure it.”

Ye Jin pushed the door and walked in.

Shen Qian Ling kicked his elder brother, “Go in and see.”

Shen Qian Feng turned around and went out of the courtyard.

Shen Xiao Shou wanted to worship him, he was obviously a normal person, why did he look like this every time he faced Lord Ye Gu?

The medication can’t stop, young warrior!

Inside the room, there were two simple wooden beds with two people lying side by side.

Ye Jin sat on the edge of the bed and examined them, then turned to look at Shen Qian Ling, “Can you help me borrow a set of silver needles from the left guardian?”

“I can borrow them, but does it matter to your body?” Shen Qian Ling was worried, “Don’t be too tired.”

“I have my limits.” Ye Jin said, “This old man is already old, if you delay any longer, it will be dangerous.”

“Well.” Shen Qian Ling put the little phoenix on the table, “I’ll go and borrow it for you.”

Even though she was a highly skilled martial artist, she was still a girl, so Madam Zhou had kindly prepared a small courtyard for Hua Tong, which was a little far away from the rest of the family’s residence.

“Where to?” Shen Qian Feng asked.

“To ask the left guardian to borrow a silver needle,” Shen Qian Ling said.

Shen Qian Feng frowned at his words.

“If you want to see him, go and tell him yourself, I won’t be the messenger.” Shen Qian Ling ran away as fast as he could.

Shen Qian Feng’s face turned even uglier as he threw up his sleeves and went back to his place.

Ye Jin was coughing and rolling up his sleeves to wash his hands when he heard a noise at the door he raised his head and smiled coldly when he saw who was coming.

Shen Qian Feng didn’t say a word, pulling a chair and sitting in the middle of the room.

Ye Jin didn’t bother to pay attention to him anymore and used a small bowl to mix the powder at the table.

“I’ve borrowed the silver needle.” Shen Qian Ling ran back and handed him the medicine bag with a gasp.

Shen Qian Feng reprimanded, “How old are you? You are not stable at all.”

Shen Qian Ling: ……

Hey hey, you dare not say sister-in-law does not take me to start ah!

Simply speechless to the point of no return!

The old man’s shirt was taken off by Ye Jin, and the big dagger tried the meridians towards him.

Shen Qian Feng continued to stare at his brother.

Shen Qian Ling could only speak for his brother, “Do you want to start now?”

“Well, there’s nothing to do after all.” Ye Jin put the powder on the needle, “Guard the door for me, don’t let anyone disturb the room within an hour.”

Shen Qian Ling immediately looked at his brother – did you hear that?

Shen Qian Feng coughed twice and said in a deep voice, “Are you sure of yourself?”

Ye Jin listened but did not hear, bowing his head at the table and continuing to fiddle with the medicine bottles.

Shen Qian Feng was full of displeasure to look at his brother.

Shen Xiao Shou was speechless, I very lying, “You are not well, if you can’t, don’t force yourself.”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.” Ye Jin took a small bowl and then slashed his wrist with a knife.

“Hey!” Shen Qian Ling was shocked.

His brother’s reaction was even more exaggerated.

The ever-so-steady Shen warrior directly lifted the table.

　　It was so powerful!
