Chapter 177 Run away, this person is a master
Seeing Master Ma Dayuan's confident expression when he said this, Chu Yuan knew that Ma Dayuan must have guessed some of the truth.
This time, Chu Yuan no longer hid it from Ma Dayuan and said bluntly: "Yes, Master."
"Kang Min once seduced me. I was young and couldn't resist her temptation, so I had sex with her. Later, I realized her intention to seduce me, which might be detrimental to Master. In addition, this matter was too unfair to Master. I felt very regretful and decided to sever my relationship with her and draw a clear line."
"Because of this, she was jealous of me. Before, when Master was not in the gang, she contacted Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing and others, falsely accusing me of doing something improper to her, and wanted to arrest me in the Law Enforcement Hall. Fortunately, I had another fortuitous encounter, and my martial arts improved greatly. I captured Quan Guanqing, and they dared not act rashly, so the matter was dropped."
Chu Yuan told Ma Dayuan what had happened during these days, and what happened was basically true.
It is better to tell the truth now than for Kang Min to tell Ma Dayuan about it later and cause Ma Dayuan to feel estranged from him.
"I knew it."
Ma Dayuan's face looked grim at this time, and he muttered to himself.
He didn't expect that even his own disciple had an affair with that dissolute and vicious woman.
If this incident had not happened a few days ago, he would have figured out a lot of things, and he was afraid that he would not have the courage to live anymore.
"Master, no matter what, I was wrong. If you hate me..."
Chu Yuan looked at Ma Dayuan, whose eyes were filled with despair.
This was also one of the reasons why he insisted on breaking off relations with Kang Min before.
Anyone in this world can have an affair with Kang Min.
He is Ma Dayuan's disciple, but he is the only one who can't do it.
And maybe the reason why Kang Min lured his predecessor was to use him as a disciple to deal with Ma Dayuan.
Fortunately, although there was despair in Ma Dayuan's eyes at this time, he did not seem to have any intention of dying.
"you……"
Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Ma Dayuan looked at Chu Yuan. After a long silence, he said:
"Yuan'er, this matter is not your fault, you are also a victim. If you hadn't had a fortuitous encounter and made great progress in martial arts, I'm afraid that you and I would have suffered the same fate as master and disciple last time!"
Ma Dayuan did not blame Chu Yuan. Although Chu Yuan had an affair with Kang Min, it was Kang Min who seduced Chu Yuan first.
What's more, Chu Yuan saved his life.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan had a fortuitous encounter and made great progress in his martial arts, so he survived Kang Min's frame-up last time and saved his master by the way.
Judging from Ma Dayuan's expression and eyes, he indeed did not intend to blame himself.
Chu Yuan continued, "According to my speculation, the reason they put the blame of Master's death on Murong Fu is to make the matter bigger and let everyone in the martial arts world know about it. Then, during the conflict, they will take out the letter that can prove Brother Qiao's identity and announce Brother Qiao's Khitan identity. Then, they will naturally put the blame of Master's death on Brother Qiao. In this way, Brother Qiao will be ruined."
He didn't comfort his master Ma Dayuan either!
Many things cannot be experienced personally unless they happen to you.
The consolation from others is mostly useless.
If he wants to let this matter pass, in addition to time, Ma Dayuan has to digest it himself.
After thinking it through, he made up his mind to part ways with Kang Min, the vicious woman.
If Ma Dayuan divorced Kang Min, even if Kang Min was dissolute and vicious, it would have nothing to do with him.
As for whether Ma Dayuan can figure it out, it depends on him.
"I see……"
Chu Yuan's words answered Ma Dayuan's doubts, and he suddenly realized.
"This woman is really vicious. Not only does she want to harm you and me, she also wants to harm the leader of the gang."
Ma Dayuan said after a moment of distraction.
"The reason why they chose to attack Master at this time is probably because Brother Qiao is not in the gang, so they chose this time on purpose."
Chu Yuan then continued.
"Tomorrow, all the disciples in the gang will head south. I will disguise myself and quietly follow you. When we get to Jiangnan, I will show up when Kang Min is framing the gang leader. By then, the truth will be revealed and their conspiracy will be ruined."
Ma Dayuan thought for a while and said.
He had no time to be sad about this matter. Firstly, he felt that it was not worth getting angry at such a woman. Secondly, since Kang Min had already decided to take action against the leader, he, as the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, would never allow the leader Qiao Feng, who had made the Beggars' Sect prosperous, to be framed because of this matter and cause the Beggars' Sect to suffer losses.
"Master and I have the same idea."
Chu Yuan nodded.
"Although you have taken back the letter in my hand, there were actually quite a few people in the gang who knew the identity of the gang leader Liaoren. It is hard to guarantee that anyone still has the letter left by the old gang leader to prove the gang leader's identity, so I must go this time."
Ma Dayuan said.
He knew that the prosperity of the Beggars' Sect was entirely dependent on Qiao Feng.
When the old leader was still around, although the Beggars' Sect was also a big sect in the martial arts world, it was not the largest gang in the world.
Once the leader Qiao Feng is framed, the Beggars' Sect will be leaderless, and the elders will surely fight for the position of leader, and what awaits the Beggars' Sect will be decline and weakness.
"Rest early, Master. We will set out early tomorrow morning. You and I will be in the dark and in the light, and we will cooperate with each other."
Chu Yuan said to Ma Dayuan.
Then, Chu Yuan got up and went back to his room.
He gave Ma Dayuan some private space to digest the news he had just told him.
Ma Dayuan looked at Chu Yuan's departing back with a complicated expression.
Just now when Chu Yuan frankly said that he and Kang Min had an affair, he almost didn't know how to face his disciple.
Later he realized that Chu Yuan was also a victim, and finally he came to his senses.
He even offended Kang Min and made Kang Min jealous of him. If he had not had another fortuitous encounter and great improvement in martial arts, Chu Yuan would probably have died during the time when he and the leader were away from the Beggars' Sect.
What's more, Chu Yuan rescued himself.
"You can't blame Yuan'er for this. If you want to blame someone, blame me for marrying Kang Min."
A trace of regret flashed across Ma Dayuan's eyes.
Back then, he married Kang Min, who was more than ten years younger than him. At that time, Kang Min was younger and more beautiful than she is now. He thought he had met true love. After getting married, he doted on Kang Min and satisfied all her requests.
Now that I think about it, the reason why the other party married him was probably because of his status and power as the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect.
"I'm going to Jiangnan to end things with Kang Min."
Ma Dayuan said in his heart.
Since Kang Min had already decided to kill him, she even secretly drugged him and worked together with Bai Shijing to kill him.
Now it is not just as simple as divorcing Kang Min, he will definitely seek revenge on her.
……
Early the next morning.
There was a glimmer of light on the horizon, and the morning dew had not yet dried.
Chu Yuan and Ma Dayuan got up early. Chu Yuan still wore his previous black cloth clothes, while Ma Dayuan changed into a green long gown and wore a black jade hat that scholars often wore.
From a gangster, he turned into an elegant old scholar.
"Yes, Master. After changing your clothes, your image has changed drastically. Even people who are familiar with you would find it difficult to recognize you as the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect at a glance."
Chu Yuan smiled as he looked at Ma Dayuan whose appearance had changed drastically.
"I went out early in the morning and borrowed this dress from a good friend I can trust."
Ma Dayuan said.
Chu Yuan was not surprised. As the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, it was not impossible for Ma Dayuan to have a trustworthy friend in Luoyang City.
Chu Yuan asked: "Is this person reliable?"
If this person is unreliable and Ma Dayuan's whereabouts are exposed, their previous plans may fail.
Ma Dayuan said: "He is reliable. I have a life-and-death friendship with him. At this moment, if he is not reliable, I will not ask him for help."
Chu Yuan heard this and said, "I will follow the Beggars' Sect and go ahead. Master, just follow us carefully."
Ma Dayuan said: "Don't worry, I have been in the martial arts world for many years, and my experience is much better than yours."
Chu Yuan nodded, opened the gate and left.
Ma Dayuan continued to stay in the yard. He planned to wait for the Beggars' Sect members to leave Luoyang City and then follow them.
After leaving his residence, Chu Yuan came to the headquarters of the Beggars' Sect.
"Emissary Chu!"
"Emissary Chu!"
……
Along the way, seeing Chu Yuan's gang members, they all bowed to Chu Yuan.
Now that the leader is not in the gang and the deputy leader Ma Dayuan is "dead", Chu Yuan, the "Green Lotus Messenger" who is sworn brother to the leader, is the most honorable person in the Beggar Gang, except for the six elders.
It's just that Chu Yuan, the "Green Lotus Messenger", has no real power. Even so, in the eyes of ordinary gang members, Chu Yuan is already one of the most important figures in the gang.
"Ok!"
Chu Yuan nodded and walked into the Beggars' Sect's headquarters, the hall where they usually held meetings.
He was not qualified to enter here before, and this is his first time here.
The meeting hall of the Beggars' Sect's headquarters was not large. In addition to a large chair made by the leader of the sect on the main seat in the front, there were three chairs on each side, which seemed to be the seats of the six elders of the Beggars' Sect.
There is another chair, placed alone on the right side of the big chair, a little lower.
Chu Yuan guessed in his heart that that should be the location of his master Ma Dayuan.
Inside, there were already six elders dressed in different clothes, waiting here, and Bai Shijing was among them. "The Chu envoy is here!"
"The Chu envoy is here!"
Seeing Chu Yuan walking in from outside, the six elders of the Beggars' Sect greeted Chu Yuan one after another.
Today, Chu Yuan has been personally appointed as the "Green Lotus Messenger" by the gang leader. His status is no less than that of the gang elders, and he is also the gang leader's sworn brother. His status is no longer what it used to be, and even the elders like them dare not take it lightly.
"Since the Chu envoy is here, let's set off."
Seeing that Chu Yuan had arrived, Bai Shijing made a suggestion.
It was he and another of the six elders, Song Qingxi, who framed Murong Fu for Ma Dayuan's death.
Chu Yuan is Ma Dayuan's disciple, so with his participation, this matter would seem more legitimate.
"Let's go. We will go to Jiangnan. I swear to avenge my master."
Chu Yuan's eyes were filled with hatred.
As Ma Dayuan's disciple, it would be inappropriate for him not to say something and reveal his true feelings when Ma Dayuan died and he and other disciples of the Beggar Gang went to Jiangnan to seek revenge.
"Emissary Chu has a deep affection for his master. Deputy Gang Leader Ma is truly lucky to have a disciple like Envoy Chu."
Bai Shijing said.
After saying this, he thought to himself: "You should take care of yourself first. You won't be able to protect yourself if you go to Jiangnan."
Afterwards, the Beggars' Sect, including the six elders and Chu Yuan, the "Green Lotus Messenger", along with more than a thousand elite disciples, marched out of Luoyang City and headed straight to the south of the Yangtze River.
After such a long period of fermentation, everyone in the martial arts world knew about the feud between the Beggars' Sect and the Murong family.
This attracted the attention of many masters and sects in the martial arts world.
More than a thousand people were mobilized, which was a considerable scale.
Chu Yuan and his companions first went to Yingchang Prefecture, then passed through Bozhou and entered the Jiangnan area.
Half a month later, they arrived at a location less than a hundred miles away from Wuxi County.
Twenty miles south of Wuxi County, there is an apricot forest.
Chu Yuan looked at the apricot blossoms in full bloom around him, and thought to himself, "Could this be the apricot forest in the original plot?"
The Beggars' Sect had just entered the area and hadn't taken a few steps when a sarcastic voice came from the apricot blossom bushes on the right: "I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be you Beggars' Sect. The murder of your deputy leader was just a misunderstanding. Our son has already gone to Luoyang to personally visit Leader Qiao to explain. What are you guys doing in Jiangnan?"
The voice spoke from left to right, making it difficult to tell its source.
"Stop!"
Upon hearing this voice, Wu Changfeng, one of the six elders of the Beggars' Sect who was walking in the front, immediately changed his expression and stopped.
Upon hearing this, the Beggars' Sect disciples immediately stopped.
"Who are you, sir? Why are you so sneaky and unwilling to show your true face?"
Bai Shijing looked at the apricot blossom bushes on the right side of the road.
"You Beggars' Sect came to cause trouble for my Murong family. If you can't even find me, you'd better go back home quickly. Jiangnan is not a place for you Beggars' Sect to stay."
The voice that kept changing position from left to right spoke again.
Song Qingxi immediately gave a look, and more than a dozen Beggar Gang disciples in tattered clothes and holding sticks rushed into the apricot blossom bushes.
Not long after, screams from the Beggar Gang disciples were heard from the apricot blossom bushes, and then there was no further sound.
Seeing that more than a dozen disciples were so easily tricked, elders such as Bai Shijing, Song Qingxi, and Wu Changfeng looked at each other in dismay. They never dared to send Beggar Gang disciples into the apricot blossom bushes again.
The man hiding in the apricot blossoms was obviously a martial arts master.
It is still unknown how many people are hiding in the apricot blossom bushes. If they act rashly, the Beggars' Sect will suffer, unless the elders act personally.
But they don't want to take the risk!
It was still unknown how many people were in the apricot blossom bushes. If one rashly entered and was ambushed, even if one did not die, one would be seriously injured.
"Emissary Chu, the Beggars' Sect has come from afar to avenge your master Ma Dayuan. Although Envoy Chu is young, he is very skilled in martial arts. Could you please go into the flowers and pull out the person hiding in the dark?"
Bai Shijing's heart moved, and he looked at Chu Yuandao who was standing aside.
He had seen Chu Yuan in action and knew that Chu Yuan's martial arts skills were extremely high.
Now that the Beggars' Sect was stuck in this apricot forest, he held Chu Yuan up, hoping that Chu Yuan would take action and pull out the master hiding in the flowers.
This way, they won't have to worry.
Chu Yuan said: "It's not difficult to find the person hiding in the flowers. Leave it to me!"
……
In a bush of flowers about five or six feet away from Chu Yuan and his group.
After being acupunctured by a group of people, he fell to the ground in a mess, beside a dozen Beggar Gang disciples who had lost the ability to move and speak.
An ugly, skinny middle-aged man, who was very tall and dressed in a long grey robe, whispered to the three girls beside him, "What a boaster! From the sound of his voice, he looks like a young boy. How good are your martial arts skills?"
Among the three girls, one of them was beautiful and elegant, whispering, "Brother Bao, you'd better be careful. It is said that some time ago, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng, became brothers with a boy named Chu Yuan, and named him the "Blue Lotus Envoy" of the Beggars' Sect. Since this man was appreciated by Qiao Feng, he must have something extraordinary. From the sound of this boy, he might be him."
Bao Bu Tong sneered: "The Beggars' Sect is full of rubbish. Apart from Qiao Feng, who is worthy of my admiration, the martial arts of the others are not worthy of my attention!"
Although they were hiding among the apricot blossoms, they were still very concerned about the movements of the Beggars' Sect.
They also listened to what Chu Yuan and the others were talking about.
"So you are hiding here..."
At this moment, the voice of the young man just now sounded again.
Bao Bu Tong and the other three girls' faces changed at the same time.
"Oh no, Brother Bao San, run away quickly, this guy is a master."
Said the pretty girl who spoke before.
Before they could take a step, a strong suction force came from not far away.
Countless apricot flowers in the apricot bush were sucked in, along with the four of them, causing them to stagger.
"What kind of martial arts is this?"
Bao Bu Tong was horrified. He had never seen such strange and weird martial arts.
The girl from the Wang family, who was weaker in martial arts, and Ah Zhu, the young master's maid, who was beside him, had almost no power to resist and were sucked out at the same time in the apricot blossoms.
"Brother Bao San, save me."
The girl from the Wang family shouted loudly in the air.
But Bao Bu Tong had no time to react and could only watch Miss Wang and Ah Zhu disappear before his eyes.
"Brother Bao San, Miss Wang and my sister have been captured, you must save them!"
Another maid, A-Bi, came to her senses and pulled Bao Bian's sleeve and begged.
"Don't make any noise, I'm thinking of a solution."
As the incident happened suddenly and A-Bi's pleading made him a little upset, Bao Bu Tong shouted at A-Bi in a somewhat harsh voice.
After hearing what Bao Bu Tong said, A Bi calmed down. Bao Bu Tong then remembered that A Bi was the young master's maid and was usually treated as a sister by these family generals.
"The man who attacked me is very skilled in martial arts, but I will find a way to rescue them both."
The package is different from the promise.
……
The other members of the Beggar Gang on the road saw Chu Yuan suddenly take action, using such strange martial arts that he even penetrated the apricot blossom forest. In the sweeping sea of flowers, he captured the two women in the forest.
They were frightened for a moment, especially the other five elders of the Beggar Gang except Bai Shijing, and all the disciples of the Beggar Gang when they saw Chu Yuan take action for the first time.
Even Bai Shijing, who had seen Chu Yuan in action before, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he saw this scene.
"It seems that I underestimated Chu Yuan before. No wonder he was appreciated by Qiao Feng. Not only did Qiao Feng make him the 'Blue Lotus Envoy', he also became his brother."
Bai Shijing said to himself.
He even had the idea that this time he and Kang Min would only frame Qiao Feng and not Chu Yuan.
Both Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng were highly skilled in martial arts, and it was already a struggle for them to deal with just one of them, and they had to resort to the name of their status and righteousness.
If both of them are offended, the mere thought of either of them attacking without scruples is frightening.
Moreover, Chu Yuan is not like the gang leader Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng was concerned about his reputation and could use his reputation to restrain him, but judging from the last time Chu Yuan acted as soon as he said he would, Chu Yuan acted extremely decisively and was a man without any scruples.
"At such a young age, he has such martial arts skills. Now he is the 'Blue Lotus Envoy'. His future is limitless. This person must not be offended."
The other six elders all thought to themselves.
"The Chu envoy is highly skilled in martial arts!"
"This time, it's all thanks to the Chu envoy."
“No wonder Envoy Chu was named the “Blue Lotus Envoy” by the gang leader and became a brother to the gang leader.”
A group of ragged Beggar Gang disciples flattered and praised him.
They looked at Chu Yuan with admiration and awe.
Perhaps it was because Chu Yuan had a relationship with the gang leader Qiao Feng, who had great prestige in the gang, that Chu Yuan won great prestige in the gang just by showing off some of his martial arts skills.
"Tell me, who are you and who are the other two people in the apricot forest?"
Chu Yuan said as he looked at the two beautiful girls who landed in front of him.
