Chapter 175: The Gu Master Who Trained the Young Hero
The sound of horse hooves raised dust.
Lin Zhi held the reins, feeling the body temperature of the young man behind him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Even though he had always known that Qi He was not a truly weak boy, and that Qi He was just pretending in front of him most of the time, his anxiety and panic when he just learned that Qi He was missing made him face one thing.
He thought that he was aware of Qi He's little thoughts and knew Qi He's calculations, and that Qi He's disguise was not successful, because as long as he wanted, he could change at any time. He was just pitying and indulging, not really worried or nervous, but that did not seem to be the case.
Qi He's words and actions in front of him had unknowingly penetrated into his heart, making him worried as if he were a person in the situation.
Lin Zhi sighed inwardly, this shouldn't be considered a setback, after all, he knew that Qi He treated him with sincerity.
He is good at calculating people's hearts. When someone tries to win his favor in this way, he doesn't feel angry and is even in a good mood.
The more important the people and things are, the more thought they need to put into them.
Lin Zhi had a slight smile on his face, smelling the aroma of plum wine, and hurried forward.
Long after leaving that southwestern town, he bought a horse to ride with Qi He and returned Yan Yixiuan's horse to her.
They went all the way from Qinhe Valley to Liangzhou City, abandoning their horses and taking the water route instead.
Qu Ziheng originally planned to charter a small boat to go there, but was rejected by Jiang Yan.
"We're on a merchant ship."
Yan Yixuan smiled at Qu Ziheng and said, "Have you forgotten our young master's etiquette?"
Qu Ziheng clasped his fists and said, "I'm so sorry, I actually forgot."
Jiang Yan was laughed at, and he closed his fan and snorted: "If you are laughing at me, then you can go by yourself in a small boat. It's a pity that you won't be able to enjoy the unique river fish feast on the boat. I heard that there will also be the pipa dance of the number one prostitute Liu Fufu..."
Yan Yixuan/Qu Ziheng: “Let’s go!”
Jiang Yan opened his folding fan and pretended to be a scholar, shaking his head and saying, "Food and sex are human nature."
Qu Ziheng: "That's a river fish banquet!"
Yan Yixuan: "That's the number one prostitute!"
Jiang Yan was stunned, Qing Xun couldn't help laughing, even Lin Zhi and Qi He smiled.
Qu Ziheng clicked his tongue: "A sex-hungry ghost."
Yan Yixuan: "Tsk, hungry ghost."
Thanks to the two of them, the air in the team is always filled with joy.
Finally, they boarded the large merchant ship that Jiang Yan mentioned and asked for six private rooms.
The price was not cheap, and even though Young Master Jiang was wealthy enough to buy it all, Lin Zhi still handed over the money with a smile.
"Brother Lin, you are still so polite. Aren't we friends?"
Jiang Yan looked at Lin Zhi with something hidden in his words.
Lin Zhi smiled and replied, "We are friends, so I won't take advantage of you."
Jiang Yan felt that the master and disciple had strange backgrounds, and Lin Zhi also felt that this young man had a secret. The remaining three were all careless and none of them exposed the others.
"Brother Lin is right. Those guys need to learn from you."
Jiang Yanlang answered with a smile and walked towards his companions.
Lin Zhi looked at his back and said nothing.
Qu Ziheng is the most enthusiastic and cheerful, Yan Yixiuan is also a lively and genuine girl, Qingxun is shy and simple, and it is easy to get words from them.
This wonderful journey of four people to the world was initiated by Qu Ziheng. He first met Qing Xun who was also out for medical treatment and gained experience, and then he asked Qing Xun to join him. Later, he was approached by Jiang Yan in a restaurant, so Jiang Yan joined them.
The three of them had different appearances but came together, which attracted Yan Yixiuan's attention and curiosity, and she decided to join them.
They went up the mountain together to fight tigers and wiped out bandits. They also passed by the house of a rich man who oppressed his tenants and played a trick of robbing the rich to help the poor, and their friendship became better and better.
From Qu Ziheng, Lin Zhi was able to conclude that it was Jiang Yan who revealed the news that Jing Weisong, the second hall master of the Chiyu Sect, was looking for the Snake Cloud Grass. It was also Jiang Yan who first discovered the person from the Demon Sect and guided them to confirm the news. Even the map to the snake cave was found by Jiang Yan.
Qu Ziheng and the others didn't think there was anything wrong at all. They just thought their companions were capable and that maybe everything was just a coincidence. However, Lin Zhi, who had created too many "coincidences" in the past, didn't quite believe in such accidents.
It’s just that everything is calm so far and you can’t see anything, but you will know if you keep reading.
Lin Zhi walked forward, and Qi He, who was following him, kept pace with him.
The merchant ship was very large, and the dance of the first prostitute was enough to attract many people.
Even though Liu Fufu was only dancing on the top level of the stage and the people below couldn't see her at all, many people wanted to see it for themselves and thought it would be nice to at least hear a sound.
As for the river fish banquet, it was just a garnish.
Lin Zhi's room was at the very end of the Tianzi room group. Due to limited rooms, they only booked three rooms.
Yan Yixiuan had a room to herself, Lin Zhi and Qi He had a room, and the remaining three people shared one room.
Yan Yixiuan was not picky and let one of Qu Ziheng and the other man sleep on the floor in her room, but the other three were adult men after all, so none of them went to their friend's room.
As soon as Lin Zhi entered the room, she smelled an elegant scent of incense, a little sweet, a woman's scent. When they booked the room, the ship merchant winked and said that this was the same incense as Liu Fufu.
Qi He extinguished the incense in the room and opened the window to let the smell go.
He was not interested in any famous prostitutes, but he didn't want his master to be tainted with that smell.
Night soon fell, and the ship would stop at the port of Yicheng for a while tomorrow morning before heading to the next destination.
Before the banquet started, a maid knocked on the door to notify them, and Lin Zhi and Qi He went out.
Outside the wide platform were three large round tables, which were already filled with exquisite dishes, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine and cosmetics.
A woman wearing a veil with her shoulders half exposed was already sitting on a chair, holding a pipa, waiting for the guests to take a seat.
Liu Fufu played the pipa very well, and the dance she performed to the string music after the song was also moving. Her figure was like a willow, her eyes were like water, and she was full of affection.
Qi He was eating the whole time and asking his master to pick some food for him.
"Master, the mandarin fish dish just now was delicious, can you give me some more?"
Because there were so many people and it was so noisy, Qi He could only get closer to his master and speak in his ear amid the cheers.
After he finished speaking, he sat up straight and waited obediently for his master to feed him.
Lin Zhi smiled and glanced at him, then picked up some food for him.
Worried about him looking at beautiful women? He is not interested in beautiful women, but he would like to take a look at the beautiful abdominal muscles of a 1.8-meter-tall man.
After Liu Fufu performed a song and a dance, she bowed gracefully, and someone came out with a tray to collect tips.
Jiang Yan held down Yan Yixuan's hand as she was about to pay, and said, "There is a reputation here too. The person who offers the highest price can meet Liu Fufu. It's called a meeting... Anyway, don't join in the fun. You should just keep the two cents yourself."
Yan Yixiuan withdrew her hand half-comprehendingly, but after learning that there were other girls dancing behind her, she happily continued eating.
After the banquet, everyone left.
Everyone went back to their rooms. Lin Zhi had just finished taking a shower when she saw Qi He rummaging through the cabinets.
"What are you looking for?"
"Master, I'm looking for other quilts. I'll just sleep on the floor tonight."
Qi He pursed his lips: "My disciple may have had some problems practicing recently, so I don't want to hurt you."
Lin Zhi stopped wiping her hair, walked quickly to him, looked him over and asked, "What's the problem?"
"It's not a big deal. Just run a few cycles and it will be fine. Master, don't worry. If you're not feeling well, I will definitely not hide it from you."
Qi He found the quilt and spread it on the ground.
Lin Zhi frowned slightly. Could it be that the thing that cleansed the meridians and marrow had some side effects?
