He downed a whole jar of wine in one go.
Qiao Feng said with a look of shame:
"Leader Wang, these were originally matters within the Beggars' Sect."
"It was only after I arrived at Xingzilin that I learned they were trying to slander and frame me, as well as my original background."
"I never expected... that you, Alliance Leader Wang, would anticipate our moves and investigate everything so thoroughly."
"I am extremely grateful to Alliance Leader Wang for rescuing me from this perilous situation!"
After saying this, Qiao Feng bowed deeply to Wang Yang.
Seeing this, Wang Yang quickly said:
"Vice Chief Qiao is too kind."
"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Meanwhile, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, and other members of the Ming Cult at the same table admired and worshipped Wang Yang even more.
Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo looked at Wang Yang with eyes full of admiration.
Only Shangguan Haitang seemed unconcerned upon seeing this.
"What's there to be proud of? All you know is how to win people over with these kinds of tricks!"
Shangguan Haitang muttered to herself, still harboring resentment towards Wang Yang for killing her adoptive father, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, and many other martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty.
Just then, Wang Yang looked at Qiao Feng with a meaningful expression and said:
“Vice Chief Qiao, you also heard Master Zhiguang and others talk about the Yanmen Pass massacre in Xingzilin earlier.”
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Qiao Feng immediately became interested.
Previously in Xingzilin, Kang Min and Quan Guanqing and others tried to frame him for killing Ma Dayuan.
This also brought to light the Yanmen Pass massacre that occurred decades ago.
Qiao Feng's biological father, Xiao Yuanshan, was originally taking his family back to his wife's family home.
Who would have thought that when they passed through Yanmen Pass, they were suddenly ambushed by twenty-one men in black, resulting in the destruction of their family and the death of their loved ones.
"Leader Wang, you...you know the real culprit who killed my parents?"
Who exactly is the mastermind behind this?
Qiao Feng looked excited.
In his view, Wang Yang seemed to know about the Yanmen Pass massacre from back then.
Upon hearing Qiao Feng's question, Wang Yang glanced at him slightly.
He naturally knew the details of the Yanmen Pass massacre; it was all a conspiracy by Murong Bo.
Seeing that the Song and Liao dynasties were on good terms and that there was no war, Murong Bo had no opportunity to seize the chance to restore Yan.
Therefore, in order to provoke a war between the Song and Liao dynasties, Murong Bo hoped to reap the benefits.
This was done after learning that Xiao Yuanshan would be entering the Central Plains to offer birthday greetings, so they spread false information.
Tell Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple that the Liao Kingdom will send a group of Khitan masters to launch a major attack on Shaolin Temple.
They intend to seize the martial arts manuals!
This led to the Yanmen Pass Massacre.
The leader that Qiao Feng mentioned was Master Xuanci.
Earlier in Tahu City, Xuanci and Qiao Feng joined forces to resist the invasion of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yang couldn't bear it any longer and told him the truth.
"Um?"
Seeing that Wang Yang hadn't spoken for a while, Qiao Feng frowned slightly and called out in doubt, "Alliance Leader Wang?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang finally came to his senses and said:
"Vice Chief Qiao."
"Actually... your father is not dead, he is still alive today."
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Qiao Feng was greatly shocked, his face filled with disbelief.
"What?"
"Is my father still alive?"
He stared blankly at Wang Yang, caught off guard by this sudden news.
Wang Yang nodded and said:
"That's right!"
"Besides, the instigator of the Yanmen Pass massacre was Murong Bo of the Murong family of Gusu, who is still alive."
"If you want to know the truth, then go to Shaolin Temple!"
"In particular, one can stake out the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Repository."
Qiao Feng was shocked after hearing what Wang Yang said.
He originally thought his father was already dead.
Who would have thought that he was still alive?
Moreover, Murong Bo, the mastermind behind the Yanmen Pass massacre, is still alive.
Wang Yang didn't spell things out too clearly.
But Qiao Feng also understood.
His own father and Murong Bo were actually hiding in the Treasure Pavilion of Shaolin Temple.
"It seems that Alliance Leader Wang must know about the Yanmen Pass massacre back then."
Since he was unwilling to elaborate, I didn't want to press him further.
"Fortunately, he gave me direction and told me to go to Shaolin Temple."
Qiao Feng pondered to himself.
After thinking for a moment, he came to his senses, looked at Wang Yang, and said:
"Thank you for your guidance, Alliance Leader Wang!"
"Next, I will go to Shaolin Temple to get to the bottom of what happened back then."
Afterwards, Qiao Feng picked up another jar of wine, drank with Wang Yang for a while, and then rode away quickly.
Judging from their posture, they clearly didn't want to delay and headed straight for Shaolin Temple.
After Qiao Feng left, Yang Xiao and the others continued drinking and talking with Wang Yang.
"Alliance Leader Wang, why do I feel like you're even more powerful than the All-Knowing Scholar of the Martial World?"
"The people of Tianji Tower make a living by collecting intelligence about the martial arts world, but their organization is complex and they have many informants outside."
"And you, Alliance Leader Wang, seem to know everything that's going on in the world!"
Yang Xiao glanced at Wang Yang and said with a meaningful look.
In their view, Wang Yang had been away for a while to help Qiao Feng investigate the truth of the matter.
But upon further reflection, Yang Xiao felt something was amiss.
How did Wang Yang manage to investigate the matter so thoroughly in such a short time?
Hearing what Yang Xiao said, Wang Yang smiled calmly and said half-jokingly:
"Left Envoy Yang, then you can just treat me as another all-knowing scholar of the martial arts world."
"Hahaha!"
Yang Xiao laughed out loud, but did not ask any further questions. He then continued drinking with Wang Yang.
After a meal and drinks, the night had grown deep.
By this time, everyone was quite tipsy and went back to their rooms to rest.
Seeing this, Wang Yang also planned to go back to his room to sleep.
"Young master, let me help you back to your room!"
Zhao Min was very perceptive. As soon as Wang Yang stood up, she quickly took his arm and prepared to help him back to his room.
Before Wang Yang could respond, Zhou Zhiruo, not to be outdone, quickly said:
"Alliance Leader Wang, let me help you up too!"
As she spoke, Zhou Zhiruo quickly took Wang Yang's other arm.
Wang Yang saw this and felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
He figured it was because he, the villain, was too outstanding that he had made these two beauties jealous of each other.
"snort!"
Not far away, Shangguan Haitang, upon seeing this, couldn't help but snort coldly and mutter to herself:
"With such excellent martial arts skills, how could he possibly get drunk?"
"They're just putting on an act!"
Shangguan Haitang pouted, and a flash of disdain crossed her eyes as she looked at Wang Yang.
When Zhao Min saw Zhou Zhiruo imitating her, she couldn't help but glare at Zhou Zhiruo.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo met Zhao Min's gaze directly without flinching.
For a moment, the two women's eyes met, like needles clashing against wheat awns, neither willing to give way.
"cough!"
Wang Yang coughed softly and said, "Xiao Min, Miss Zhou, would you please escort me back to my room?"
Upon hearing Wang Yang speak, Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo averted their gazes and then helped Wang Yang back to his room, one on each side.
