The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 211 Wuxi Songhe Tower

[Defeat Bao Bu Tong, one of Murong's four generals, and tease him casually. Successfully demonstrate your power in front of others, increasing your reputation by 200 points.]

[Reputation level remains unchanged, rising fame (2600/5000) => rising fame (2800/5000)]

Everyone who practices martial arts has the ability to hold their breath.

Back then, Hou Tonghai could stand upside down with his head buried in the snow for a long time. Considering his different water properties, he could easily endure the time it takes to hold an incense stick.

However, as soon as he came out of the water, he started to curse and had no time to hold his breath, which caused him to choke on water repeatedly and become so embarrassed.

Fortunately, he had a good foundation. Although he looked miserable, it was actually not a big deal.

In fact, Bao Bu Tong now realized that it was he who had caused the misunderstanding, but he was too stubborn and refused to admit his mistake.

The two little girls rushed over to check, only to find that he was motionless, with his eyes and mouth tightly closed, and not making a sound.

A-Bi was still worried that his true energy had gone astray, but she saw that the tension on Ah Zhu's face had disappeared, and she was smiling instead.

This Bao Bu Tong often argues with them on a daily basis. It's rare to see him get humiliated, so they find it funny for a moment.

Ah Zhu ignored him, stood up and pointed the direction to everyone, and bowed to Gu Ping'an.

"Brother Bao has a strange temper. I'm sorry if I've offended you. Please forgive me, Young Master Gu."

Gu Ping'an smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Bao Bu Tong who was still lying on the ground pretending to be serious, and made a joke.

"Mr. Bao, it's very humid on the boat and it's chilly in spring. Be careful not to catch a cold."

The corners of Bao Bu Tong's mouth twitched slightly, but he still kept his eyes tightly closed.

Ah Bi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Brother Bao San, stop pretending. Everyone knows you're fine."

Bao Bu Tong pretended not to hear. After a while, he opened his eyes and sat up cross-legged.

"No, no. I'm not pretending. I'm just regulating my breathing and recovering my internal energy."

His stubbornness is ingrained in him, even worse than Ke Zhenwu's. Even at this point, he still doesn't forget to say "No, no".

However, his clothes and hair were completely wet at this moment, and he was unaware that a piece of water grass was tangled in the end of his hair, which made him look extremely ridiculous.

When Gu Ping'an's gaze swept over him, he quickly turned his head away, a guilty look flashing across his face.

The farce finally ended. Ah Zhu asked why she met Bao Bu Tong here, only to find out that he had just returned to Suzhou today and went to Qingyun Manor with Feng Bo'e.

Feng Bo'e was also a troublemaker. When he heard that a large number of skilled fighters from the Beggar Gang were coming to Jiangnan, he immediately wanted to join in the fight. He was only persuaded by Deng Baichuan's wife with great difficulty.

Ah Zhu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is indeed capable. She was able to persuade Fourth Brother."

"No, no. It's not that my sister-in-law is capable, but that she speaks reasonably."

Bao Bu Tong shook his head again, causing Ah Zhu to roll her eyes and ignore him.

He made himself look awkward, and after a moment's silence, he continued.

"Oh, right, things have been a bit turbulent these past few days. A group of white-robed men from Sichuan are looking for trouble with Master Young Master. They've been wandering around the lake for two days. Why are you two little girls running around instead of staying at the manor?"

Ah Zhu was too lazy to pay attention to him, but Ah Bi patiently told her in detail how she met Gu Ping'an and his group, and how he helped her persuade the Qinjiazhai group.

Bao Bu Tong knew that Gu Ping An had no ill intentions, but he just couldn't bear it and was embarrassed by Gu Ping An, so he still refused to apologize to him.

Gu Ping'an didn't have a favorable impression of him either. Although he knew he was a man of integrity and principle, he had no interest in making friends with him. If he made friends with a nagging person, who knew how much trouble he could cause.

When Bao Bu Tong heard that Azhu and A Bi were going to find Murong Fu to clarify the misunderstandings between Funiu Sect and Qinjiazhai, and since he had nothing else to do, he wanted to go with them to escort them.

If it were any other time, the two little girls would have happily agreed, but after what had happened in the past few days, they were a little hesitant for a moment.

Not only are Gu Ping'an and his wife highly skilled in martial arts, they are also extremely thorough in their work. If it were Bao Bu Tong who met Yao Bodang and the others, he would be thankful if he could not resolve the misunderstanding and avoid making things worse.

If I hadn't treated him like a family member, I would have refused.

Ah Zhu's thoughts were a little harder to guess, but Ah Bi wasn't so clever. Bao Bu Tong was no fool either, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he saw this.

"Forget it. I still have to deal with those people from Sichuan. You guys go first, I'll catch up later."

Although he didn't admit it, he was actually a little scared of Gu Ping'an. Anyone who could deal with him so easily must be no weaker than the young master.

This man has such ability, so he will not make things difficult for the two little girls, so there is no need to worry about their safety.

Ah Zhu noticed that Bao Bu Tong had a strange expression, and felt that she had neglected him, and felt a little guilty.

But now that things had come to this, I didn't know how to keep him any longer, so I could only tell him to be careful and catch up as soon as possible.

Gu Ping'an said, "From what I just heard from Mr. Bao, all the masters of the Beggars' Sect have gathered in Jiangnan. It's not certain that Master Murong will stay in Luoyang. Let's wait in Wuxi for a few days, firstly to see the situation, and secondly to wait for Mr. Bao to catch up."

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi heard what he meant and didn't seem to mind Third Brother Bao coming along. It was obvious that he was considering their feelings, which touched them.

Bao Bu Tong looked at him in surprise, feeling secretly touched in his heart, nodded to him, jumped back on his boat, and sailed towards Tingxiangshui Pavilion.

The evening breeze on the lake brought the fragrance of water chestnut leaves. The moonlight gradually brightened, and the group finally reached the shore. Everyone in Qinjiazhai dispersed, leaving only Yao Bodang with them.

The city of Wuxi has been recorded since the end of the Shang Dynasty. It was established as a county during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty. It has developed into a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River.

The group entered the city and found an inn to spend the night.

As Bao Bu Tong had said, a large number of Beggars' Gang members gathered in Jiangnan, and beggars of all sizes could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

The Beggars' Sect has always been divided into two factions, the Clean and Evil, but the factional disputes at this time were far less intense than those in the Southern Song Dynasty, and were not clearly defined.

A chivalrous man in an expensive robe with a few patches on it can sit opposite a dirty old beggar on the street corner and drink, attracting onlookers from time to time.

Gu Ping'an and Mu Nianci had been to Wuxi when they accompanied Yang Kang on a diplomatic mission. They were deeply impressed by the delicious food at Songhe Tower. Now that they were revisiting the place, they naturally went there to satisfy their appetite.

The Songhe Tower has existed since the Tang Dynasty and has survived the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period while still standing.

A signboard was blackened by smoke from age, but the three golden characters still gleamed.

It was noon at this time. The aroma of wine and meat wafted out of the restaurant, and the sounds of the chef's knives and spoons and the waiters' shouts filled the air.

"Four guests, please go upstairs!"

Gu Ping'an and the other person took Ah Zhu and Ah Bi upstairs and sat down. They ordered two pots of good wine and listed a list of dishes.

The waiter really had a good memory. Before long, the table was filled with various dishes.

Liangxi crispy eel, mirror box tofu, Taihu white shrimp, crispy whitebait, chicken oil cake, and three-white soup are all famous dishes in Wuxi.
