Chapter 549: A True Gentleman Is Not Tempted by Beauty

Xiao Shiyilang's topic became a diversion between the couple.

Two days later, Huai'an was in sight.

Just as the carriage was about to enter Huai'an City, a man in gray squeezed out of the crowd, stepped forward, and whispered, "Are Mr. Lian and Mrs. Lian here in person?"

Lian Qing, the servant sitting in front of the carriage, looked at the other party warily.

"I am a disciple of Mr. Duan in the city. I heard that the Huainan Jade Claw Flying Eagle King pointed out the mark of Wuque Villa, so I waited outside the south gate and invited Mr. Lian and his wife to come to the house for a chat." The gray-clothed man said.

Lian Qing couldn't help but look behind him.

Then a humble and clear voice came from the carriage, "Excuse me for waiting for you, may I ask what your name is?"

When the gray-clothed man heard this voice, he felt that his bones were three points lighter. He felt honored and hurriedly replied, "I am Liu Daqian, you can just call me Lao Liu."

"Then I'll trouble Lao Liu to lead the way." Lian Chengbi said.

"Yes, yes, please, please!" Liu Daqian led the way with a smile on his face.

In the carriage, Lian Chengbi said to Shen Bijun, "Duan Hongzhang, a famous martial artist in Huai'an City, is good at using a nine-section steel whip, and Wang Xuanfei, the Jade Claw Flying Eagle, is the leader of the Huainan Eagle Claw Sect of this generation."

Shen Bijun shook her head, "I haven't heard of their names before."

Lian Chengbi smiled, "They are all local forces. The Eagle Claw Sect has some deterrence in Lianghuai. Duan Hongzhang can hardly leave Huai'an. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."

Shen Bijun was confused and asked, "Why are they waiting for us?"

"It should be because of Wang Zhen's matter." Lian Chengbi smiled, "If I kill Wang Zhen, they will have an excuse to thank us and can establish a relationship with us."

Wuqi Villa has been operating in Gusu for three hundred years, and several powerful figures have emerged in the middle. At this time, it is famous in Jiangnan, and even overshadows some low-key old families.

The surrounding area is nearly 100 miles, and the Lian family has trade lines with overseas, which involve huge interests and sufficient military force as a guarantee. Naturally, many people will want to come over.

In the original work, the chief escort of 72 escort agencies in 63 provinces in the south and north, Situ Zhongping, who is known as a stable mountain, wants to get in touch with Lian Chengbi and ask him to agree to something.

But the original body thought that he would not agree, so he killed Situ Zhongping.

Lian Chengbi thought about it and guessed that the most likely thing he would ask Lian Chengbi to agree to was about overseas trade, maybe smuggling?

But Situ Zhongping has a high status and a big appetite, while Duan Hongzhang and Wang Xuanfei would never dare to be so bold.

Lian Chengbi pulled Shen Bijun out of the car and saw several people standing at the door of Duan Mansion, welcoming him together.

A tall old man with gray hair but a ruddy face, and a short and capable man with eagle eyes, are Duan Hongzhang and Wang Xuanfei.

But besides them, Lian Chengbi also saw an acquaintance.

An acquaintance of the original body.

It was Li Gang, who was also known as one of the six gentlemen of the martial arts world. At this time, he stood aside with a dignified face, his eyes were like knives, and his breath was sharp, which made Duan Hongzhang and Wang Xuanfei become supporting roles.

In addition to Li Gang, Shen Bijun also saw an acquaintance.

"Uncle?"

This person stood in the corner, not conspicuous, but his face was plain and his breath was steady. He was a steady person at first glance. He was the nephew of the old lady Shen's mother's family, Xiangyang swordsman Wan Chongshan.

Seeing Lian Chengbi holding Shen Bijun's hand, Wan Chongshan smiled before speaking and nodded to the two of them.

Duan Hongzhang and Wang Xuanfei saw the two people get off the car, and they stepped forward and bowed, "We heard that Mr. Lian and his wife were going north to return home, so we waited for you and finally got you here."

"Old Master Duan is famous, and the hero Wang is famous. I dare not not come when you two invite me." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

"I dare not."

"I'm sorry."

Lian Chengbi turned to Li Gang again and asked with a smile, "Why is Brother Li here too?"

"The people of Wudang Sect are irresponsible. They destroyed the 28 villages of Hongze Lake and left, but there are still remnants of bandits scattered around, causing unrest in the surrounding villages." Li Gang snorted, "I'm helping them clean up their mess."

Li Gang dared to complain about Wudang Sect, but Duan Hongzhang and Wang Xuanfei didn't dare to, so they could only smile at the side.

Without waiting for Lian Chengbi to greet him, Wan Chongshan stepped forward and said, "Brother Li and I are together. We were ready to leave, but when we heard that you might come, we waited here for two days."

Wan Chongshan is known as the swordsman of Xiangyang and has a close relationship with Wudang Sect. This time, he actually came to Hongze Lake to destroy a stockade at the invitation of Wudang Sect.

He stayed here on purpose to see how Shen Bijun was doing, and he was very satisfied that Lian Chengbi took Shen Bijun to the north to return home just after getting married.

Lian Chengbi chatted with Wan Chongshan for a while, followed Duan Hongzhang into the mansion, and turned to ask Li Gang, "In this case, why didn't you leave Xu Qingteng behind? He went back to Hangzhou a long time ago."

Li Gang said, "He was fine when he left. Those thieves had just been robbed of their stockade and were hiding in fear. They didn't dare to show up until most of them left."

Wudang Sect is far away in Yunhan, so it is naturally impossible for them to start a war for some small minions.

"Didn't this just happen to hit your pair of iron palms?" Lian Chengbi said with a smile, "If Xu Qingteng and the Wudang Sect's people hadn't left yet, those scattered bandits wouldn't be enough for you to fight off."

Hongze Lake has 28 villages, all connected to each other, full of traps and traps. As long as they don't offend anyone, they can live in peace with the righteous people in the martial arts world, and generally no chivalrous heroes will bother them.

But this time, since they are in trouble, the water village is lost, and the strong men are scattered, don't blame everyone for punishing the evil.

Li Gang stretched out his hands, turned his palms, and proudly showed his iron palms, "If they gathered in one place, I could kill them all in half an hour. Unfortunately, they are now scattered around Hongze Lake and it's hard to find them."

Li Gang became famous the earliest among the six gentlemen in the martial arts world. He became famous in the martial arts world with his 36-way big stone-opening hand. His pair of iron palms were invincible, and I don't know how many gangsters' heads were knocked down by him.

Shen Bijun looked at the majestic and upright Li Gang, and it was hard to imagine that he was actually a lustful man who not only used force but also killed people to silence them.

But she believed that Lian Chengbi would not talk nonsense. He only picked out Li Gang from the six martial arts masters to talk about the matter, which means that he is absolutely sure.

Everyone came to the hall and sat down. Wang Xuanfei stepped forward to thank Lian Chengbi for cleaning up the Wang family.

"Wang Zhen went to Wugui Villa at night and asked for death. I just happened to take action. You don't have to be polite, Mr. Wang." Lian Chengbi lifted Wang Xuanfei lightly, making him stand up involuntarily.

Duan Hongzhang laughed and invited everyone to the hall for dinner.

At this time, Liu Daqian, who had just led the way for Lian Chengbi, ran in hurriedly, "Siyang, Huaiyin, Peijia Town, Qingjiangpu, there are bandits making trouble!"
