Chapter 146 The Good Guy

It was daybreak and the wind was blowing gently.

Fu Qingzhou and Hua Wuying each rode a horse and galloped along the official road.

This was already the third day of their journey, and they had just managed to leave Shu.

This speed... is a bit slow.

It’s not that they are not serious about their journey, but that Hua Wuying has been wasting time.

He... is so helpful that he has gone far beyond the level of "seeing injustice and helping others with swords". Even Fu Qingzhou, who calls himself a young hero, feels ashamed when he sees him.

When Hua Wuying saw a crying child on the street, he would get off his horse, buy some candy to comfort the child, and then take the child to find his parents.

When he was staying in an inn at night, he heard a couple quarreling downstairs, so he wanted to go downstairs to persuade them to stop fighting. After hearing about their family affair, he spent an extra two hours the next morning to help them solve it.

On the official road, he met an old farmer who was going to the market whose donkey was sick and could not pull the cart. He did not hesitate to use his own horse to pull the cart and took a detour to take the old farmer to the market.

Fu Qingzhou has seen a lot of these things in the past three days.

He couldn't say anything... after all, they were doing good things.

Now he also understood why Hua Wuying taught him a set of sword skills when they first met - this was his daily routine!
This also caused their original itinerary to be greatly slowed down.

It would only take five days to travel from Meifeng City to Luoyi where the Wulin Alliance is located, but now it seems that it may not even take seven days.

"Brother Hua, there is something I don't understand."

While galloping on his horse, Fu Qingzhou shouted loudly: "It didn't take you this long to get here!"

"Brother Fu, I'm so sorry!" Hua Wuying laughed and responded, "I don't know why, but I encountered so many things while traveling with you!"

Fu Qingzhou: “…”

Oh boy, so it’s my problem again?
He couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Hua has a great reputation and is so willing to help others, but the world is dangerous. Aren't you afraid that your enemies will take the opportunity to attack you?"

"Hahaha, that's what Master said many years ago!"

Hua Wuying smiled and said, "That's why he taught me the Liufeng Sword Technique, which uses defense as offense. Even if I run into a seventh-level expert, I will be able to escape!"

Fu Qingzhou was really speechless.

No wonder he has made a name for himself in the underworld at such a young age. Others are chivalrous and leave their names in the underworld, but he simply helps old ladies cross the road on the street. I'm afraid there are many people among the people who are praising his name.

As they were talking, a beggar appeared in the distance, kneeling on the side of the road and kowtowing continuously.

Fu Qingzhou knew at a glance that Hua Wuying was going to attack again.

as predicted……

"Brother Fu, wait a minute!"

Hua Wuying pulled the reins and said, "I'll go take a look!"

Fu Qingzhou smiled bitterly and had to slow down his horse and follow.

The two men jumped off their horses and approached the beggar.

Fu Qingzhou was still cautious. He quickly looked at the beggar - the beggar was covered in dust, dirty and smelly, his hair and beard had not been trimmed for several years, they were a mess, and flies were flying around him.

The beggar had a mouth full of rotten teeth, cracked skin on his palms, a thick layer of calluses on his forehead, and his skinny body could be seen under his tattered clothes. All the signs indicated that he was indeed a beggar who begged day and night and had neither enough food nor warm clothes.

In this way, Fu Qingzhou felt relieved.

Hua Wuying smiled warmly, came to the beggar and half-knelt down: "Big brother, is there anything I can help you with?"

The beggar opened his mouth, spitting out a cloud of foul air, and said in a hoarse voice: "I, I'm hungry..."

Hua Wuying frowned slightly, but still kept smiling: "Okay, you ride my horse and I'll take you to the nearby town - by the way, are you healthy? If you are, I'll find a job for you."

As he said this, he reached out to help the person.

The beggar was clearly startled.

Then he lowered his head and murmured, "I... I only know how to..."

"kill."

When he uttered the last two words, his voice became clearly difficult. At the same time, Hua Wuying's hand had just touched him, and the beggar made a lightning move, and a short sleeve sword popped out from his sleeve and stabbed Hua Wuying's chest!

The smile on Hua Wuying's face had not yet faded, but the wooden sword on his back was already unsheathed.

The first move of Liufeng Sword Technique is to face the wind and return the waves.

The wooden sword swept away the hidden blade, and his figure also retreated quickly.

But the deadly moves waiting for them were not just that - at the moment the beggar made his move, dozens of figures suddenly leaped out from the bushes surrounding the official road!
Fu Qingzhou sighed.

It's hard to guard against...

"This beggar is a real beggar, but a real beggar can also be a killer."

As he sighed, he took off the long bow on his back.

Hua Wuying retreated to his side at the same time, and smiled helplessly: "Brother Fu, your words have come true."

There was no time for nonsense, the killers had already attacked.

They didn't know where this group of people came from, who they came for, or what their purpose was, but since they were here, they had to fight.

As soon as they started fighting, they found that these killers were not particularly powerful masters, almost all of them were in the fourth realm.

Fu Qingzhou also realized that these people were not assassins from Xiyu Pavilion - they were not wearing the symbolic red clothes and did not use rapiers. They must be other assassin organizations in the martial arts world.

The next second, his eyes met Hua Wuying.

This was the first time the two of them had joined forces to fight an enemy, but as soon as their eyes met, they immediately developed a tacit understanding.

"The longer the bow, the stronger it is!"

Hua Wuying shouted out what he had said when he gave the knife to Fu Qingzhou. Fu Qingzhou understood immediately and pointed his toes to head out.

Several killers wanted to chase and hack him, but they heard a clanging sound on the battlefield - the iron sword on Hua Wuying's back was unsheathed, and it floated over and easily swept those who were chasing him back to his side.

He had already mastered the first two moves of the Liufeng sword technique to perfection. Not only could he defend, he could also stalk the enemy. The group of killers had no way of escaping as he was surrounded by his exquisite sword skills.

Although the sword attack was gentle and unlikely to hurt anyone, he was able to trap more than a dozen assassins by himself and prevent them from hurting himself.

On the other side, Fu Qingzhou took a few steps forward and drew his arrow!

There were a few bangs of the bowstrings and a few screams from the other side. Several killers were stabbed in the vitals by the feather arrows and fell to the ground with blood spurting out.

He was reluctant to use iron arrows to deal with these ordinary killers...

With Hua Wuying guarding and Fu Qingzhou sniping, all the killers present were cleared out in less than a cup of tea, leaving only the beggar. He was the most agile and sneaky, hiding behind the other killers until all their companions fell, and then he was fully revealed.

Fu Qingzhou looked calm and unceremoniously, and shot another arrow!
But then there was a ding sound, and Hua Wuying dodged and swung his sword to deflect the arrow!

Fu Qingzhou was stunned: "Brother Hua, what are you doing? I didn't want to kill him. I just wanted to injure his leg and keep him alive."

The beggar was also confused. He stood there, looking at Hua Wuying who blocked an arrow for him, not knowing whether to escape or continue fighting.

"Brother Fu, you just said that he is a real beggar."

Hua Wuying smiled slightly and looked at the beggar sideways: "How could a skilled warrior become a beggar if he had no hardship? If he often kills people for orders, how could he be so poor?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the beggar, his eyes full of warmth: "You don't kill people often, or even ever. You said you only knew how to kill people, but just now you saw your companion being shot and killed, and there was only fear in your eyes, so you kept dodging and didn't take action again."

"What... is your problem? Can I help you?"

He had his back to the sun, and the light shone through his slender figure onto the beggar, making him look like an immortal walking out of holy light.

The beggar was stunned. He fell to his knees with a plop, and tears flowed silently from his eyes.

"I...I was forced..."

He slammed his forehead on the ground and burst into tears.

Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

If Long Dabei had met this guy back then, would he have adopted him as his adopted son?

In his mind, the smoker was going crazy: "How the hell can this be done?!"
