Chapter 272 King Xian’s Heroic Banquet



As the team moved away, Kong Yunfei was released and a group of people quickly rushed over.

"Master, are you okay?"

"Yun Fei, are you okay?"

Kong Yunfei rolled on the ground. The injuries he sustained were negligible, and the blood on his body was all from the horse.

"I'm fine."

He stared at the carriage. Although he didn't see Wang Wanqing in the carriage, he felt that Wang Wanqing's affairs were definitely related to them.

But now that he didn't see anyone, there was nothing he could do.

But he will never give up.

"Master, are we still looking for the young lady?"

Kong Yunfei glared at the man angrily: "That's my betrothed wife, and she's in a bridal sedan. How can I not look for her? Even if it means I'm at the end of the world, I will find her."

Wang Wanqing, you are destined to be this young master's wife.

When he thought about how he wanted to marry her wholeheartedly, but Wang Wanqing ran away, he didn't care about their relationship at all and kicked her away angrily: "Get out!"

It was not until the carriage had gone a long way that Wang Wanqing opened the door of the compartment. She was finally able to escape now, right?

Kong Yunfei was like a lunatic, determined to be with her, and no matter how she refused, it was useless.

Thinking about how he just called His Majesty his bride, he actually imagined His Majesty as his adulterer.

Well......

It was clearly his fault, but Wang Wanqing felt that it was her who was embarrassed.

It's so embarrassing.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not laugh at her for this, otherwise she would really have found a hole to crawl into.

King Xian sent out invitations to heroes, saying that he had caught a fierce tiger and was inviting heroes to a banquet. Anyone who could fight the tiger and win would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.

As soon as this post was released, it immediately attracted countless martial arts masters. Even if they knew they could not defeat a tiger, it was still a very interesting thing to go there for a free banquet and see which hero could subdue the tiger.

Xiao Li also found it interesting.

"Go to the King's hero banquet."

Hongyue: "Did King Xian kidnap King Wei to start a rebellion?"

Xiao Li: “…”

Wow! She said she seemed to have forgotten something, and it turned out that she had forgotten about Xiao Jingyi.

She just used it as an excuse to find Xiao Jingyi. Her purpose was to kill Xu Nianqing with her own hands. She forgot about the convenient thing of finding Xiao Jingyi in a minute. Now that Hongyue asked her this question, she was really stumped.

"Probably. Let's go and have a look."

If that's the case, then both problems will be solved at once.

May is definitely the worst month to travel.

It rained too much, and it lasted for many days.

Not only was the trip delayed, but we were unable to reach our destination and were forced to spend the night in the wilderness.

The wilderness and the dilapidated temple are very desolate.

However, when they arrived, there were still quite a few people in the dilapidated temple that was about to collapse.

A fire was lit on the ground in the middle, and seven or eight men gathered around it, roasting buns while drinking and chatting.

They all carried weapons, but they were in strange shapes, and they were talking about the Heroes' Association.

This place is less than a day's journey from King Xian's fiefdom, and they are obviously here for the Heroes' Meeting.

When Xiao Li and his large and orderly team appeared, the talking and laughing inside stopped, and everyone looked at them warily.

While the others were busy settling the empress and the horses, Yang Jun went over with a bag of beef jerky and some fresh peaches.

He smiled politely, "From what I've heard from the brothers, you guys are also going to the Xianwang Heroes Meeting?"

"What a coincidence, we're going there too."

As he spoke, he distributed the dried meat to everyone. Which man could refuse such dry, fragrant and spicy dried meat when drinking?

"My eldest daughter loves heroes the most. She's not satisfied with any of the husbands chosen for her by the master. When she heard that Prince Xian was going to judge a hero by comparing him to a tiger, she immediately became interested and wanted to join in the fun. If she finds someone suitable, she might even compete with Prince Xian for him."

Xiao Li had just come in. Even though they couldn't see clearly, they knew she was a pretty beauty.

Judging from her aura and the guards, she is obviously a young lady from a wealthy family.

The eldest lady likes heroes, so she goes to a hero's meeting to find a husband. If she succeeds, it will definitely be a great story in this hero's meeting.

Yang Jun used this improvised excuse to quickly integrate into the group.

People are soft-hearted when they get the dried meat and fruits. The looks of this group of people became kind and upright.

Even when Hongyue stewed pork rib soup for Xiao Li later, they only praised Hongyue's cooking skills after smelling it, and no one showed any dissatisfaction that they could only look at but not eat.

The dilapidated temple was quite spacious, with two groups of people ruling their own territories, but the atmosphere was harmonious.

The lively atmosphere lasted until midnight. Some were drunk, some were sleepy, and everyone found a place to sleep.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside, and the dilapidated door was pushed open, making a sharp creaking sound.

A tall figure appeared at the door carrying a sword on his back. He was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, and was wrapped tightly, even his mouth and nose were covered with cloth.

From his aura, it is obvious that he is a master.

He glanced sharply at the situation in the temple, closed the door without saying a word, walked in, and sat down directly on the empty Buddhist altar in the middle.

Without taking off his raincoat or eating, he just leaned on it and fell asleep.

The people on both sides looked at each other without saying a word, and continued to prepare to rest, but they were obviously a little further away from the center and were on guard.

Xiao Li took a quick look, then took Hongyue and Wang Wanqing to bed.

They cleaned out the second room in the temple. Although there was no bed, they could sleep well by putting the tables together and putting bedding on them.

Xiao Li slept alone, Hongyue and Wang Wanqing slept on the other side, and three shifts of guards took turns to keep watch outside.

The seemingly unsafe dilapidated temple actually allows people to sleep peacefully until dawn.

By the time Xiao Li and the others woke up and washed up, the others had already left.

They all looked very poor, so many of them didn't have horses. The better ones rode donkeys or ox carts, which were not fast, so they could only set out early, travel faster, and travel in groups of three or five.

The lone master in black was the only one riding a horse, and the crowd was envious of him.

He has a horse, a sword, is a lone ranger, is taciturn, and travels around the world with his sword. He is really cool.

Xiao Li and his team set out half an hour late, but they caught up with the group in less than an hour.

Yang Jun greeted them warmly before leaving.

Wang Wanqing couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang looks less and less like a military commander."

Where else can you find a general like him, smiling like a fox?

Xiao Li's eyes fell lazily on Yang Jun: "You are wrong, he is becoming more and more like a military commander."

The strength of a military general lies not only in his martial arts, but also in his strategies, tactics, and scheming.

The best strategy is to attack the enemy’s plan.

Great generals who are good at commanding troops always stay in the rear and control the overall situation. They don't need to charge into battle personally.

Knowing how to use troops is sometimes more valuable than having strong martial arts skills.
