Chapter 451 Lady
"I have a good friend named Guangyin. He is a fake monk. He eats, drinks, whores and gambles. If there is a death in any household in the city, he will put on his monk''s robe and go to the door of the house to chant sutras and chant Buddha''s name to ask for some merit. Money, relying on a sharp tongue, can sometimes be used to get religious services, which makes life rich.
"It turns out that half a month ago, I didn''t know how crazy I was. I went to Wohu Gang to do something for a group of bandits and never came back. I wonder if two experts can help me find that guy. If he is still there, I''ll trouble you two to take him back to the city while he''s still alive. If he''s dead, please send me a message."
"Wohugang?" Gu Qingyi was startled when he heard this and was about to agree.
Unexpectedly, Ma Lu on the side took the lead and said, "Wohugang is a bandit''s den. I heard that there are several groups of bandits there."
Shopkeeper Wan nodded, "Otherwise I''ll go by myself and I won''t bother you. Well, if you are willing to help me, not only will you not have to pay for the rosewood coffin, but I will also give you a good coffin each. "
“Ah, I don’t want to give this thing away.”
"What''s the matter? Everyone is going to die. Don''t look at you young. Look at the seven people lying in the coffin now. There are also young people among them."
“And I’m afraid that many people will die in the city in the next period. There will definitely not be enough coffins by then. Those who don’t have coffins will have to be buried wrapped in straw mats.
“I’ll leave you two good coffins. It’s best if you don’t need them, but if you need them, they won’t be useless.”
“It sounds like what you said makes sense. But I don’t need a coffin.”
Ma Lu said, "You should give me a discount. Wait, I changed my mind again. I still want a coffin."
“I’ll keep the coffin with you first. When there are more people dead in the city later, you can help me sell it to see who pays the highest price.”
…”
After leaving Wanji Coffin Shop, Ma Lu and Gu Qingyi hurried out of the city before sunset. Wohu Gang is not far from Yuchang County, only fifty miles away, and can be reached in less than an hour on horseback.
??Yuchang County officials also knew that there was a bandit problem in this place, and many successive county captains had tried to suppress the bandits.
??Ordinary minions and fast-moving government officials can still be dealt with, but there are experts in Wohu Post besides minions.
“The biggest group of bandits in Wohu Gang is Shajiazhai.” Gu Qingyi said.
?Since she had made up her mind to find Qin Feng, she naturally had to do her homework in advance, and now she told Ma Lu while rushing on the road.
“These people were originally from the nearby mountains. There was a severe drought in Qingzhou about twenty years ago. They couldn’t pay taxes and grain, so they rebelled together.
“The leader is called Sha Dingjun. This man is born with supernatural powers. Before falling into the grass, he was a lay disciple of the Vajra Academy. After falling into the grass, there should be adventures, and his martial arts is unfathomable.
“However, Shajiazhai is said to be bandits, but in fact they mainly focus on farming. They only go down the mountain to rob when the harvest is not good.
"The second group of forces after Shajiazhai is Black Tiger Village. The first and second leaders of Black Tiger Village are brothers. They once served as generals. Later, they couldn''t stand the incompetence above and withheld military pay and ran away. He went to Wohu Gang and became a bandit.
“They also brought a group of old soldiers. Although they were not large in number, they were very capable in fighting and could form formations. It was them who Qin Feng later defected to.”
“Below Black Tiger Village is Xinghua Village. The leader of the village is Hong Xinghua, who is very good at using poison. This woman can gain a foothold in the bandits’ den and become the boss. She should not be underestimated.
“In addition, the Five Ghosts Village has gained momentum in recent years. Before coming to Wohu Gang, the Five Ghosts were already top-notch masters in the martial arts world, each with their own special skills.
“Previously, the government hired many righteous masters to encircle and suppress the bandits in Wohu Gang, but the four villages joined forces to defeat them. This battle also made the bandits in Wohu Gang famous.”
?Ma Lu didn’t expect that there were so many Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks in the small Wohu Gang. It seemed that it would not be easy to kill them directly. Malu was not worried that he would not be able to beat him. The main reason was that there were too many people, so this card was a bit difficult to beat.
?His total time for activities when he goes out is only seventeen hours each time, and he has to account for the time spent on the road.
?The other side was going to use a human wave tactic. He estimated that the people would have been forcibly teleported back before he even climbed halfway up the mountain, so he still had to use some strategy.
?Just as Malu was thinking about how to go up the mountain, Gu Qingyi had already taken out a package and opened it. Inside was a set of clothes.
"I helped you think of a new identity. If anyone asks, you can just say that you are a herb gatherer who took the murder case and came to Wohu Gang to defect to Black Tiger Village."
“What about you?”
“I...I just said she was your sister.”
??Gu Qingyi bit her lip and said, she has not yet mastered the art of disguise. It looks like nothing from a distance, but it cannot withstand careful inspection. To be on the safe side, she will regain her daughter''s body when she gets to Wollongong.
?Ma Lu shook his head and said, "I can''t be a herbal picker. I know very little about medicinal materials, and I don''t know how to pick them. It''s easy to reveal my secret. I have a better idea."
“What’s the idea?”
“How should I be prosperous?”
"Um?"
"I owed Ji Le Fang a large amount of money, and even the gift of a century-old ginseng plant that the leader asked me to give to the new leader of the Beggar Clan was given to Ji Le Fang. I tricked them into finding someone to raise the money, and then I quit gambling. Fang escapes.
"And Jilefang didn''t trust me, and sent a master to follow me secretly, but I found out and killed him. I was worried about Jilefang''s revenge, so I had no choice but to take my wife to Wohugang and defect to Heifeng Village."
"What?" Gu Qingyi thought that Ma Lu''s move of borrowing He Qisheng''s identity was too clever.
??What he said is almost all true, and there are traces of it. It is indeed more convincing than compiling the identity of a herbal collector out of thin air, and it is even more convincing that Ma Lu can also use He Qisheng''s martial arts Songxi Kuai Jian.
This proves his identity as a disciple of the Songxi Sword Sect more than anything else.
?However, upon hearing the last sentence, Gu Qingyi was dumbfounded again, her face suddenly turned red, and she even stuttered when speaking.
“Why...why is it a lady? No, not my sister.”
"Because you can''t take action, your Baoyuan Jue and Iron Clothes Skill are too eye-catching. Once someone sees you, they will find that you are from the Iron Clothes Sect." Ma Lu explained patiently.
"And now I am at my most depressed. If you are just a sister, you don''t need to join me in being a bandit. But if you are my wife, you can make sense."
"The most important thing is that with this identity, no matter who suspects you or wants to fight you, I can help you stop it, because it is natural for a man to protect his woman, and this will also reduce the number of other people on the mountain. Harassment against you."
?Ma Lu’s words left Gu Qingyi speechless, and found that she really seemed to have no other choice but to be his wife.
