Chapter 199 Goodbye Kang Min
Chu Yuan waved his hand, and the door of the guest room was blown open by the wind from his palm.

Chu Yuan walked to the door of the room and looked inside. He saw a disheveled man and woman, one wearing only inner clothes and the other wearing a white peony bellyband, entangled on the bed.

Among these two people, Chu Yuan knew one of them.

It was none other than Kang Min, the master's wife who became famous throughout the world because of her affair with him.

As for the other person, Chu Yuan didn't recognize him. However, although he was in his forties or fifties, his skin was still fair, his temperament was noble, and his appearance was quite handsome, especially the short beard under his chin, which was very stylish. It was obvious at a glance that the other person was of extraordinary identity.

"Master's wife, I didn't expect that we would meet again."

Chu Yuan looked at Kang Min lying on the bed with the man and smiled.

He didn't expect that the next time he met Kang Min after Xingzilin would be under such circumstances.

"It's you!"

When Kang Min saw Chu Yuan, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

The reason why she ended up like this today was all because of Chu Yuan.

"You are……"

The middle-aged man with a noble temperament, who had just been entangled with Kang Min in the bed and whose whole body was wet with sweat, as if he had just been through a battle, saw Chu Yuan standing at the door.

"Dad, why are you here with this woman!"

At this moment, Ah Zi's voice of disbelief and shame came from behind.

Hearing Ah Zi's voice and the way she addressed this man, Chu Yuan suddenly understood that this man was actually the nominal father of his third brother.

The stud prince Duan Zhengchun!
"It turned out to be Prince Duan."

Chu Yuan looked at Duan Zhengchun, who hurriedly got out of bed and put on his clothes after seeing A Zi, and suddenly realized something.

"You must be Mr. Chu, Yu'er's second brother. I've heard Yu'er mention you before."

Duan Zhengchun said as he put on his clothes.

"I have also heard of Prince Duan's name a long time ago."

Chu Yuan smiled.

Speaking of which, this stud prince Duan Zhengchun is probably the most enviable person in the world.

Of course, I envy the stud prince for having so many confidantes who are devoted to him even after they are married, not that I envy his own wife for putting a hat on him in order to get revenge on him.

"It's just a false name, not worth mentioning."

Duan Zhengchun's shamelessness was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. After he put on his clothes, he spoke to Chu Yuan with a normal expression.

When Ah Zi heard Chu Yuan addressing Kang Min, she remembered the rumors about him and his master's wife in the martial arts world. She immediately recognized that the woman lying in bed with her father was the vicious woman Kang Min, who was famous throughout the martial arts world.

She looked angry and questioned Duan Zhengchun: "Dad, why did you sleep with this vicious woman? How can you be worthy of my mother and those concubines?"

"Cough cough!"

Duan Zhengchun coughed upon hearing this and said, "Azi, I know you have some misunderstandings about Min'er, but those are just rumors. I believe in Min'er's character. As for your mother and your other aunts, I will explain to them myself. You don't have to worry about this matter."

Duan Zhengchun looked at Chu Yuan again and said, "Young Master Chu, I know there are some misunderstandings between Min'er, you and the Beggars' Sect. I wonder if you can forgive me for the past and make peace between the two of you?"

For your sake!
Face fruit?
Apart from being Duan Yu's nominal father, it seems that you have nothing else worth my respect for.

Chu Yuan didn't say anything, but he did admire Duan Zhengchun a little.

I believe that Duan Zhengchun, with his identity, must be aware of what Kang Min had done in the past, but he still did not bear grudges and did not despise Kang Min at all, and he was on good terms with Kang Min.

In addition, he was willing to come forward and use his own face to mediate the grievances and conflicts between Kang Min.

Add to that Duan Zhengchun's identity as the Prince of Dali, which means that the woman would not be confused when she saw him. No wonder he was so popular in the martial arts world that there were so many confidantes of his and some of them still missed him even after they got married.

"..."

Ah Zi was bullied by Duan Zhengchun as an elder. Although she was very dissatisfied with her father Duan Zhengchun and her face turned red with anger, she couldn't say anything.

At this time, Wang Yuyan and A Bi saw that there was something exciting to watch, so they walked behind Chu Yuan and A Zi.

They looked inside and saw Duan Zhengchun and Kang Min in disheveled clothes, and immediately understood what had just happened inside.

Their faces suddenly turned red and they retracted their heads, not daring to look inside again.

Chu Yuan did not respond directly to Duan Zhengchun, saying whether he agreed with Duan Zhengchun's proposal or not. He just looked at Kang Min, who was lying on the bed, wearing only a white peony bellyband, with messy hairpins, but calm and not panicked at all.

"What are you looking at? It's not like you haven't slept with me, your master's wife, before. If you don't want to sleep with me, there will naturally be others who are willing to sleep with me."

Kang Min was half lying on the bed, looking at Chu Yuan charmingly.

Although her heart was filled with hatred towards Chu Yuan, she knew that with her current martial arts and strength, she could not seek revenge on Chu Yuan, so she could only suppress this hatred in her heart.

When Ah Zi heard this, she felt inexplicably irritated.

When she thought of Kang Min, this vicious woman, not only was her father related to her, but even Chu Yuan was related to her. The deeds of the two were spread all over the world, and she wanted to poison her to death.

Chu Yuan pondered and said, "I was thinking that since you are having a private meeting with Prince Duan here, and Duan Yanqing's disciple Tan Qing also happened to appear in this inn, there is no such coincidence in the world, unless Tan Qing has a connection with you, and he is also your subordinate?"

Chu Yuan's words made Kang Min's face look a little unnatural, but she quickly returned to normal.

Kang Min said: "What Tan Qing, I don't know."

Chu Yuan said: "I don't believe that there was such a big commotion outside just now, you didn't notice it in the room."

Chu Yuan looked at Duan Zhengchun again and said, "Lord Duan, I don't know why this woman rekindled her old love with you, but she is cold-hearted, vicious, and dissolute. Be careful that she may rekindle her old love with you on the surface, but in fact she is using you and will get rid of you after using you."

He remembered that in the original plot, Kang Min seemed to want to kill Duan Zhengchun in revenge because Duan Zhengchun had deceived her feelings before. Later, Duan Zhengchun was rescued by Qiao Feng who arrived in time.

But in this world, because of her appearance, her series of frame-up plots were thwarted, and her two accomplices Bai Shijing and Quan Guanqing were also killed by him. She suddenly fell from the wife of the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect to an ordinary woman and was expelled from the Beggars' Sect.

It can be said that she fell from heaven to earth. Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for her to seduce a minor character like Tan Qing and Duan Yanqing's disciple.

As for why she harbored resentment towards Duan Zhengchun but did not kill him, but instead had sex with him, it might be that she was just enduring it temporarily and wanted to get what she wanted from Duan Zhengchun.

When Duan Zhengchun heard Chu Yuan's words, he immediately remembered what Kang Min had mentioned to him before Chu Yuan and the others arrived.

Kang Min hopes that he will depose the current princess consort Dao Baifeng and make her his consort.

But re-establishing a princess is a big deal, and it is not something he can decide on his own. It requires the approval of all the members of the Dali Duan royal family. Moreover, if one wants to become a princess, one needs the support of powerful forces behind her. Just like his current princess, Dao Baifeng, is the daughter of the Baiyi chieftain, and their marriage is a political marriage.

However, his mind was full of thoughts about going to bed with Kang Min, so he used sweet words to coax Kang Min into bed.

Now that I think about it, Kang Min really wanted to use him.

However, Duan Zhengchun didn't care. As long as these women still had feelings for him, whether it was because of his kindness to them, or because of his power as the King of Zhennan of Dali, or because of his appearance, it didn't matter.

After all, these female confidantes of his have always been concerned about him, so they must have some ulterior motive, right?

Duan Zhengchun said, "Young Master Chu, your deputy gang leader has divorced Min'er. Min'er is alone in the martial arts world, so it's only natural for her to hope to find someone to rely on."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan first looked at Duan Zhengchun, then at Kang Min, then he shook his head and said, "It seems that I am meddling in other people's business. You two, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten, and no one can say anything."

After saying that, Chu Yuan turned around and left, going back to his room to rest.

As for Tan Qing's body found in the corridor of the inn, the innkeeper had ordered the waiter to report to the government office, and the body was taken away by the yamen runners.

Because Tan Qing was originally a man of the underworld, and the one who committed the crime was Chu Yuan, the famous Green Lotus Messenger of the Beggars' Sect, so this murder case was naturally a grudge among the underworld.

The underworld and the imperial court have always kept their distance from each other.

In addition, the Beggars' Sect had helped the Song Dynasty court a lot, so when they learned that the murderer was Chu Yuan.

The yamen runners just took the body away without even going to look for Chu Yuan.

Seeing Chu Yuan leave, Kang Min secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Chu Yuan guessed, Tan Qing was the man she seduced with her beauty. Now, Ma Dayuan wrote her a letter of divorce and expelled her from the Beggars' Sect. She had nothing left and was in disgrace.

Everyone in the world knows that she is a fickle woman with a vicious personality who wants to kill her husband.

So she thought of another way to regain her power.

That was to let Duan Zhengchun divorce his princess, Dao Baifeng, and make herself his princess.

However, she also knew that Duan Zhengchun was a very philandering person. It was easy to sleep with him, but it was difficult to make him admit it after he got out of bed.

She seduced a man named Tan Qing in advance, and planned to subdue Duan Zhengchun with Tan Qing after he went to bed with her, and force him to agree to this.

Who knew that while she was dealing with Duan Zhengchun, Tan Qing's lustful nature was exposed. He happened to meet two extremely beautiful women and was about to do something indecent to them, but he attracted Chu Yuan and was killed by him.

Now she is the only one left, and she is afraid that she is unable to complete the task, which makes Kang Min feel like she is in a dilemma.

"It's him again, ruining my plans every time."

Kang Min said angrily in his heart.

She felt that Chu Yuan was targeting her.

One is Qiao Feng, the other is Chu Yuan!
It was because of these two men that she ended up in this situation today.

……

Chu Yuan and A Zi stayed in the inn for one night.

The next day, Chu Yuan was ready to hit the road again. It had rained a little outside last night, and the air was exceptionally fresh, with a chill in the morning.

In the lobby of the inn, he saw A-Bi and Wang Yuyan, who also got up early.

"Miss Abi, Miss Wang, where are you going next?"

After Chu Yuan paid the room fee, he asked A-Bi and Wang Yuyan who were having breakfast on the first floor.

"us……"

"do not know either."

A-Bi and Wang Yuyan looked at each other and said.

Their master and cousin Murong Fu has disappeared for a long time, and Feng Bo'e and Bao Bu Tong, who were traveling with them, have also gotten separated. If this continues, the two of them will be in great danger in the martial arts world.

If they hadn't happened to meet Chu Yuan yesterday, they would probably have been in great danger.

"Miss Azhu is in the Beggars' Sect. You two can come with me to the Beggars' Sect headquarters. With the power of the Beggars' Sect, it is very easy to find the whereabouts of Master Murong. And considering the status of Brother Qiao and Miss Azhu, he should be happy to help."

Chu Yuan suggested.

Now that Wang Yuyan no longer has Duan Yu as her protector, it is very dangerous for the two girls, Wang Yuyan and A-Bi, one of whom has no martial arts skills and the other has low martial arts skills, to navigate the martial arts world.

Wang Yuyan said: "What Young Master Chu said makes sense."

A-Bi also said, "Isn't it a bit wrong to trouble the Beggars' Sect?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. We're all family anyway."

Chu Yuan said.

What he meant was that Azhu and Qiao Feng would get married sooner or later, so A-Bi and Wang Yuyan would naturally be considered their own family.

"Row."

Wang Yuyan thought for a moment and agreed.

"Young Master Chu, we will go back with you."

Abi also nodded.

Chu Yuan waited for a while on the first floor. Seeing that Ah Zi had not shown up, he said to Ah Bi and Wang Yuyan, "Miss Ah Bi, Miss Wang, let's go."

Wang Yuyan was puzzled: "Aren't we waiting for Miss A Zi?"

Chu Yuan shook his head: "No need to wait, if she is willing to go with us, she will catch up naturally, if she is not willing to go with us, she will leave on her own."

After hearing what Chu Yuan said, A-Bi and Wang Yuyan followed Chu Yuan out of the inn and out of the town.

"Brother Chu, you're leaving without even telling me?"

Chu Yuan and the other two had just walked out of the town not far when they heard a familiar voice sounding behind them.

Turning around, I saw it was Ah Zi in a purple dress. She used her lightness skills to quickly catch up with me from behind.

"What did you do before?"

Chu Yuan asked A Zi.

"Nothing, I just got up a little late."

Ah Zi said with a normal expression.

"Miss Wang and Sister A-Bi, are you going back to the Beggars' Sect with us?"

A Zi looked at A Bi and Wang Yuyan and changed the subject.

"Yes, they are going back with us."

Chu Yuan nodded.

Chu Yuan's heart moved, thinking of A Zi's little witch character, and the shame and grief A Zi felt when Duan Zhengchun used his status as an elder to pressure others yesterday.

Could it be that Ah Zi just now...

……

Small town inn.

In the room where Duan Zhengchun and Kang Min live.

Kang Min was lying in Duan Zhengchun's arms, and Duan Zhengchun was saying sweet words to her.

"Min'er, don't worry. Since you've been divorced by Ma Dayuan, I'll be your support from now on."

Duan Zhengchun never mentioned that before they went to bed yesterday, Kang Min asked him to depose Dao Baifeng and make her the princess.

He can easily say sweet words to women and make them happy, but he will never do anything that crosses his bottom line or costs him actual benefits.

"Ha ha!"

Kang Min, who was lying in Duan Zhengchun's arms, suddenly laughed.

"Min'er, stop joking. I'm serious about what I say."

Duan Zhengchun thought Kang Min sneered at what he said, so he comforted Kang Min.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

Kang Min laughed twice and then fell silent.

Just when Duan Zhengchun was feeling confused, he turned Kang Min over and found that the beauty in his arms had her eyes closed, without a sound, and had fallen into his arms forever.

Duan Zhengchun's expression changed. He put his finger on the tip of Kang Min's nose and tried to feel Kang Min's breath, but found that there was no breath at all, and Kang Min had been dead for a while.

Duan Zhengchun didn't expect that what he was holding in his arms was actually a corpse. He was so scared that he immediately threw Kang Min's body out of his arms.

"Min'er, who killed you?"

While throwing Kang Min's body out, Duan Zhengchun shouted in grief.

……

on the official road.

Chu Yuan guessed that A Zi had gone to kill Kang Min.

Then he asked Ah Zi: "Is that woman dead?"

Ah Zi pretended not to know: "What woman?"

Chu Yuan said: "You are still pretending. I didn't see you before. Did you go to kill that woman Kang Min?"

Ah Zi didn't expect that what she did would be exposed by Chu Yuan so quickly. She felt a little guilty, looked away, and said stubbornly, "No."

Seeing that Ah Zi was still stubborn even at this point, Chu Yuan said, "If you keep saying no, we will go back to the inn and see if the woman is dead or not."

Seeing Chu Yuan turning around and really preparing to return to the inn, Ah Zi immediately grabbed Chu Yuan's sleeve and said, "I was wrong, Brother Chu, I can't hide anything from you. I did kill that whore with the Three Smiles Free Powder. Who made her so shameless? My father sided with that woman."

Chu Yuan, who was held by A Zi, stopped and said, "Forget it, if you kill Kang Min, you will get rid of a trouble."

After all, Kang Min was once his nominal master's wife, and he had had a relationship with her before. If he killed her, it would inevitably cause his master Ma Dayuan to have a grudge against him.

It would be better if A Zi could take action and kill the other party.

And it is better for Kang Min to be poisoned by A Zi than to suffer the pain of being bitten by thousands of ants in the original plot.

Seeing that Chu Yuan supported her in killing Kang Min, Ah Zi said with some pride: "That's right. If I didn't kill her, with that woman's personality, I don't know what kind of trouble she would cause in the future!"

Chu Yuan did not comment on this, but thought about Ye Erniang being killed by him and Kang Min dying at the hands of A Zi.

There is only one evil-minded woman left in this world.

Chu Yuan looked at Wang Yuyan and said, "Miss Wang, I have been to the Wang family's Mantuo Villa before. Although the Wang family has some favors to me, I still hope you can persuade your mother to not end up like Kang Min. As the saying goes, those who do too much evil will eventually perish. Don't take the lives of ordinary people to vent your anger because of your own feelings."

Wang Yuyan knew that Chu Yuan was talking about her mother, using ordinary people as fertilizer for flowers. She looked bitter: "I also advised my mother, but she didn't listen to me at all."

A-Bi asked curiously, "What did Young Master Chu mean by the matter of my aunt's feelings?"

Chu Yuan said: "I only found out about it later. Madam Wang and Kang Min were both emotionally involved with Prince Duan, but Prince Duan was a man of broad-mindedness and affection, and he did not marry them. As a result, Kang Min and Madam Wang turned from love to hate, and their personalities changed drastically."

Chu Yuan's words made Wang Yuyan's expression change slightly. She thought that Ah Zhu was the daughter of Duan Zhengchun and Mrs. Ruan.

Am I also...

Wang Yuyan asked Chu Yuan tentatively: "Young Master Chu, since my mother had a relationship with Prince Duan, then I am..."

Chu Yuan said, "Yes, you are also the blood of Lord Duan. The senior Wuyazi from Leigu Mountain is your grandfather according to seniority. He and his wife Li Qiushui had a daughter named Li Qingluo. Later, they broke up, your grandfather suffered a disaster, and your mother was raised by Ding Chunqiu and married into the Jiangnan Wang family."

Chu Yuan's words rang in Wang Yuyan's ears like a huge bell, making her dizzy. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.

She finally understood why Duan Yu, who used to follow her around like a follower, had disappeared during this period of time.

It turns out that she and Duan Yu are siblings!
