Chapter 33: The Arrival of the Old Man

In the hall, there was already a burly man with a long gun waiting here. Hearing the footsteps, the man turned his head happily and looked at Chen Rufeng excitedly.

"Brother Ding?" Chen Rufeng said with a little surprise. Unexpectedly, Ding Yu suddenly came to Tianfeng to help him, but at this moment, Ding Yu was a little depressed, and his clothes were not as bright as before.

Ding Yu walked up and put his hands on Chen Rufeng's sword. He looked like he suddenly caught a life-saving rope on a cliff. He trembled with tears in his eyes and said, "Rufeng, you... you are willing to come out to see me... It's really... great..."

Seeing that Ding Yu seemed to be aggrieved, Chen Rufeng quickly helped him sit down and ordered someone to bring tea to talk to him in detail.

It turned out that after Jiang Shengtian set off a wave of reform and change in the prime minister's mansion, Ding Yu inevitably became one of the guests expelled from the prime minister's mansion. Now he has nowhere to return. After Panchuan was exhausted, he had to come to Chen Rufeng for help.

Listening to Bi Dingyu's words, Chen Rufeng pounded the table and said angrily, "This Jiang Shengtian is so unnostalgic that even you will be expelled from the prime minister's mansion!"

Ding Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "This is also a helpless thing. The same silver can be exchanged for a more powerful master. Who will make money without making money? Almost all the old guests were expelled from the prime minister's mansion. The prime minister is not a person who cares about the old feelings. Shengtian just listens to the instructions..."

"Brother Ding, you don't have to defend him. Now Jiang Shengtian is no longer Jiang Shengtian. Maybe he is the originator of this matter." Chen Rufeng said with hatred, and Ding Yu had to bow his head silently and was extremely decadent.

"If I had won the 'blue blood martial arts' at the beginning, I wouldn't have..." Speaking of this, Ding Yu was too regretful to continue.

Chen Rufeng quickly said, "Don't be silly. Didn't I tell you the law of the weak? You just lost a battle. Don't completely deny yourself!"

But Ding Yu was unmoved by what Chen Rufeng said, and still sighed and shook his head, with gloomy eyes.

"What Bi Xuexuan... is actually just a dirty gang." Thinking that day when Bi Xuexuan also sent a killer to attack him, Ding Yu was still regretting his teacher, Chen Rufeng couldn't help but feel angry.

"Brother Ding, you might as well stay in my Tianfeng Gang. Anyway, we need talents now. Do you still think that Bi Xuexuan can be compared with our Tianfeng Gang? Chen Rufeng said, and Ding Yu suddenly looked up and was stunned.

"Isn't this... equivalent to having me betray my teacher and join someone else's sect?" Ding Yu stammered that he was still loyal to Bi Xuexuan.

Chen Rufeng said sternly, "Brother Ding, will Bi Xuexuan still be your disciple? If you lose the blue blood, they will sweep you out of the door directly!"

It seemed to ring the ears and awakened the clarity in people's hearts. Ding Yu trembled all over and looked at Chen Rufeng in a daze.

"Brother Ding, wake up! You can't go back to Bi Xuexuan again!"

Ding Yu's eyes became a little confused, and his breathing became rapid, as if he couldn't lift it in one breath. Chen Rufeng knew that Ding Yu had never been able to accept the fact that he had been expelled from the teacher, so he had been staying in the prime minister's mansion waiting for the opportunity to return to Bi Xuexuan, but this was impossible, so today he would wake him up with words.

Bi Xuexuan... Master... You have all abandoned me... It's just that I still have the hope here. As long as I am strong, the door of Bi Xuexuan will reopen for me... But now, even the door of the prime minister's mansion is closed to me...

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Ding Yu finally persuaded himself and nodded to Chen Rufeng.

Chen Rufeng was so happy that he gave a high-five, "That's great. With your joining, my Tianfeng Gang will be like a tiger."

By the way, Chen Rufeng told him that Tianfeng wanted to hold the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall, but Ding Yu sat there distractedly, as if he had not been able to change his mood.

"Brother Ding, you can go to Luoyang with us and relax." Chen Rufeng suggested.

Ding Yu suddenly woke up. After all, he still couldn't immerse himself in the unrealistic extravagant expectations. Living well is the most important thing now. He quickly arched to Chen Rufeng and said, "Yes, master!"

************

The snow had stopped, and a large group of people from the Tianfeng Gang pushed several carts of objects and walked slowly to the gate of Luoyang City.

When it snows in winter, it still does not diminish the majesty of this grand city. In the north, Yique in the south, Luoshui, Hulao in the east, Hangu in the west, surrounded by mountains and Xiguan. Thinking that Wang Shichong was here on that day, he must have taken a fancy to the prosperity of this place.

Stepping into the city, the streets pass through, and the surrounding buildings are high, which is no less than Chang'an. All kinds of shops are open. If it weren't for the severe winter, it must be crowded and lively.

Chen Rufeng, Hu Jiuwei, Chai Yuanlang, Liu Hong, Han Ling, Ding Yu, Ling Xiaoyu and other people walked across the street, inevitably attracting the attention of passers-by. Everyone thought, "What do such a large array of people want to do in Luoyang?"

It was not easy to find the other garden that had already been arranged in advance, and the group of Tianfeng Gang settled down here for the time being, and then they had to arrange the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall.

"This place is really 'elegant'." Ling Xiaoyu put down the heavy burden, looked around, and said unsatisfiedly. Several rooms were tightly squeezed together, and there was nothing else to plant in the courtyard except an old toothless tree, which was pitifully monotonous.

Hu Jiuwei helped remove a box of heavy things from the trolley, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ling Xiaoyu, who was uncomfortable all over, "Just do it. We don't live here for a long time."

Ling Xiaoyu seemed to want to say something to refute, but at this time, she saw Chen Rufeng and Han Ling walking out of the hall. Obviously, they had just discussed something big, and looked awe-inspiring. Ling Xiaoyu quickly closed her mouth.

"Ep, Elder Hu, the preliminary examination of the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall will be handled by you. I will be responsible for the final competition, the construction of the ring, and many miscellaneous things." Chen Rufeng said.

"Yes!" Hu Jiu punched respectfully.

"Hee hee, I don't think there's anything I need to help here, right? After all, I'm going to participate in the test. There are a lot of things to prepare. Ling Xiaoyu grabbed his head with a smile and planned to say that Chen Rufeng would not assign tasks to himself. Unexpectedly, Chen Rufeng also smiled at him gently, but this smile made his hair stand up.

"If you think too much, you can help Elder Hu to be responsible for the preliminary examination. Anyway, you don't have to participate in the preliminary examination." No longer paid attention to him, Chen Rufeng turned around and re-entered the hall with Han Ling, leaving only Ling Xiaoyu who was crying bitterly in place.

I closed the door of the hall, which had to be cleaned for a long time and was full of heavy dust. The two didn't care much about it and sat down as usual.

"Brother Han," Chen Rufeng summoned his ears this time and spread his spiritual sense outside the hall to ensure that no one eavesdropped outside before he dared to call Han Ling like this. "I intend to let you serve as a distinguished guest in the final competition. After all, you are the first player of the last Qingshi Martial Arts Hall."

Han Ling smiled indifferently, "This is up to you. By the way, isn't that all you want to tell me alone?

Chen Rufeng quickly lowered his voice and said, "Last time I was interrupted by Xiaoyu. I had something else to tell you. On that day, after I went to the World League to apply for the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall, I was attacked and killed by four mysterious people in black on my way back, and the four people were the Dou Ri School, Bi Xue Xuan, the Shadow Pavilion and Kunpengmen. After being repelled by me, the four people were killed by Jun Moxiao of the Red Devil Altar.

Han Ling immediately understood what Chen Rufeng meant and said, "You are worried that the four gangs are not for taking the right to hold the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall, and they will kill the disciples they sent to attack you. They will definitely not let you go, right?"

Chen Rufeng nodded and continued, "They are very likely to be unfavorable to my Tianfeng Gang in the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall this time. I have already sent people to keep an eye on their movements, just in case."

Han Ling said with a little appreciation, "You handled it well. The rapid rise of our Tianfeng Gang is bound to attract the jealousy of others. This kind of thing is inevitable. What we can do is only by soldiers to block it.

Chen Rufeng sat up slightly nervously and said, "We must hold this Qingshi Martial Arts Hall smoothly. If there is any defect that will not increase but decrease our prestige, we should be cautious in every link."

"Don't be so nervous, otherwise it's easy to make mistakes in your busy schedule." Han Ling kindly reminded that Chen Rufeng nodded and sat wide.

After finishing some of the things in the other garden, those who still have energy decided to go to Luoyang City for a good tour in the cold.

Although he had also come to Luoyang before, he could not deeply appreciate the scenery of Luoyang at that time. Today, Chen Rufeng also hurriedly followed everyone to see the scenery of Luoyang.

On the street, from time to time, a few people with straight waists and energetic steps are seen passing by in the sparse crowd. Everyone knows at a glance that these are the people who came to participate in the Qingshi Martial Arts Hall.

When I walked to a bridge, I saw Luoshui flowing under the bridge. In this deep winter, there was a frozen frost, emitting a fluttering cold atmosphere, wrapped in silver, and there were also beggars on the bridge with a thick dress, who were not afraid of the cold to beg here, which was extremely pitiful.

Seeing this, Ling Xiaoyu suddenly felt pity, took out a few ingots of silver of different sizes from her sleeve, compared it and finally put the smallest piece of broken silver into the beggar's broken bowl.

"Thank you... Thank you..." The beggar thanked repeatedly, but his eyes cast a vicious look at Ling Xiaoyu's happy back.

Chen Rufeng suddenly turned around and stared at him, and the beggar quickly lowered his head, muttering the common phrase of begging.

However, Chen Rufeng's eyes did not leave him for a long time. The beggar seemed to be more and more guilty. He just nodded repeatedly, but did not dare to look up at Chen Rufeng.

Chen Rufeng's eyes narrowed into slits. It was not until Ling Xiaoyu in front of him called him a few times that he stopped staring at the beggar and followed the brigade.

The beggar raised his head with lingering heart and looked at the back of Chen Rufeng and others.
