The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 15 Facing the Northern Beggar
Wu Chengyu is gambling, gambling on the right time and on human nature.

Wu Chengyu repeatedly thought about how to save A Ku, and came to the conclusion that he should take advantage of the situation. Relying on himself would only lead to his death.

There are only two people he could possibly find and who could eradicate the scum of the Beggars' Sect.

There was no need to think about Huang Yaoshi. He was still immersed in the grief of losing his wife, and he had a baby Huang Rong to take care of. Moreover, given his personality, he was too lazy to care about the affairs of the Beggar Gang, unless Wu Mianfeng had been killed by the Beggar Gang.

Wu Chengyu is still affected by Wu Mianfeng's emotions. When she thinks of returning to Peach Blossom Island to seek help, Wu Mianfeng makes her extremely resistant.

Huang Yaoshi can only use this as a backup, a means of revenge after Wu Chengyu's death.

The second person was Hong Qigong, and the person he was betting on was Hong Qigong.

The Beggars' Sect leader's claim that Hong Qigong would arrive in Gushan County today was, after all, just speculation. Whether he would definitely arrive today, or whether Hong Qigong would even arrive at all, was unknown. Or perhaps Hong Qigong suddenly thought of something delicious and turned around and ran off somewhere else? Hong Qigong was capable of such a thing.

As the leader of a gang, Hong Qigong is too casual and completely unpredictable.

It is outrageous that the top leader of an organization with tens of thousands of people runs around everywhere every day and cannot be found, not to mention that the communication means in this era are so backward.

But Wu Chengyu didn't dare to wait. What if Hong Qigong really came today, took a quick look, and found that the branch office here was well-behaved and nothing serious happened, and then turned around and left?

He has been deceived many times, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to discover the dirty deeds of the Gushan branch this time.

Moreover, with Hong Qigong's extraordinary skills, if he arrived in Gushan County during the day, he might disappear without a trace that night.

If I wait one more day, I might miss the chance to meet Hong Qigong, so the only day I can gamble is today, and only today.

Next, he has to bet on Hong Qigong's humanity.

Hong Qigong is a true hero in the story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He hates evil, is chivalrous and righteous, and never bullies in secret. He will never do anything that goes against chivalry and can be described as upright and honest.

Even the later Northern Hero Guo Jing, except for his later defense of Xiangyang, could not compare with his master Hong Qigong in terms of chivalry.

But this is just a novel after all. Wu Chengyu is now in the real world. Wu Chengyu has only been here for more than a month. God knows whether the real world is exactly the same as the novel. Is the Hong Qigong here really the same as in the novel? Will he cover up the truth, or is he simply a hypocritical and false person?

However, Wu Chengyu is not a big gambler. He still believes in his own judgment. Hong Qigong should be reliable. If the final result is contrary to his wishes, it is not Hong Qigong's fault. He can only blame Wu Chengyu for trusting others too much. Let him go to the underworld to find Jin Daxia and have a good talk with him.

Wu Chengyu was really lucky. Fortunately, Hong Qigong finally showed up.

In order to lure Hong Qigong to show up, he used all the methods he could, including treating guests at Hongyun Restaurant, setting up a porridge stall to give porridge to beggars, and gathering all the people around.

Then there were four roasted whole lambs with cumin, the aroma wafting everywhere. As long as Hong Qigong appeared within a few miles, he would be so hungry that he couldn't help himself.

Coupled with the storyteller's account of the heroic deeds of Qiao Feng, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, Wu Chengyu was certain that as long as Hong Qigong set foot in Gushan County today, he would definitely show up.

Hong Qigong was indeed attracted by the gathered people and the fragrant roasted whole lamb. At first, his attention was all on the lamb, but when he heard Wu Chengyu talking about Qiao Feng, his expression became subtle and unpredictable. Even a fool would know that this storyteller came for the Beggars' Sect or for himself.

However, he was not going to show up at first, at most he would investigate later to see what this guy was up to. But when Wu Chengyu revealed his identity in public, and the words "disciple of Peach Blossom Island" came out, Hong Qigong had to show up.

As Wu Chengyu bowed to Hong Qigong, Hong Qigong swayed a few times and slipped out of the crowded crowd. In the blink of an eye, he came in front of Wu Chengyu, looked at him with interest, and spoke.

"Disciple of Huang Lao Xie? Not bad, not bad. You are more handsome than Huang Lao Xie. At such a young age, you have created such a big scene to wait for me to show up. Moreover, you are a very good speaker.

So what do you think of me compared to Boss Qiao? "

Wu Chengyu was now calm and composed. He first had the waiter bring a chair for Hong Qigong to sit down, then directed his men to carve up the fourth lamb and brought a leg of lamb to Hong Qigong. "Boss Hong, please enjoy it first. This lamb is specially prepared for you.

As for who is superior between you and Gang Leader Qiao Feng, I personally think that you are inferior to Gang Leader Qiao."

Hong Qigong lowered his head and gnawed on the leg of lamb, without even looking at Wu Chengyu, and showed no reaction.

Wu Chengyu continued, "Boss Qiao loves wine, and Boss Hong is greedy. These are all desires of the mouth. Every human being has desires, and only when all six desires are properly controlled can one be authentic.

But no matter how much Boss Qiao loved drinking, he never got drunk and lost consciousness, nor did he ever delay important matters.

And Boss Hong, you were greedy and missed the opportunity, which led to the death of the righteous man who was unable to rescue you. Afterwards, you felt deep remorse and even cut off this finger as a warning. Unfortunately, you still couldn't change your greedy habit.

In terms of self-control and self-conquest, Gang Leader Hong is far inferior to Gang Leader Qiao."

Hong Qigong was finally moved at this time. He didn't know much about the reason why he cut off his fingers, and the incident of Qiao Feng happened more than a hundred years ago. It involved some scandals of the Beggar Gang, and there was no time to cover it up. Even he himself knew about it after he became the leader of the gang.

"You know a lot, kid. There are some things that even Huang Lao Xie doesn't quite understand. When you were telling me the story just now, you did a lot to cover up for the Beggars' Sect.

But at your young age, how on earth did you know all these old stories?"

Wu Chengyu ignored his question, not knowing how to answer. He couldn't tell Hong Qigong that it was Jin Daxia who spread the news and that at least hundreds of millions of people knew about the scandal of the Beggar Gang. He just gave Hong Qigong a childlike innocent smile and continued to talk to himself.

“It’s a pity that the Beggars’ Sect today has long lost its former glory.

The Beggars' Sect, led by Boss Qiao, fought fiercely with the Liao and Xia countries, transmitted military secrets, captured and killed spies, and truly served the country and the people, being the greatest chivalrous men.

The Beggars' Sect today is living in seclusion in a remote corner. Although it claims to be a reputable and upright sect, and its leader, Hong, is known for his chivalry and bravery, under his leadership, the Beggars' Sect harbors corruption and commits crimes. How much do you know about this, Leader Hong?

The greatest hero is one who serves his country and his people. Wu Chengyu said these eight words without any guilt. After all, Guo Jing was his future brother-in-law, so marrying his sister would always cost him something.

But at this point, the real purpose was revealed. Wu Chengyu forced himself to stand up, bent down and approached Hong Qigong. Their faces were less than a foot apart. Wu Chengyu stared fiercely at Hong Qigong's eyes, slapped the wake-up stick with his hand, and shouted sternly.

"How many of the sins committed by the scum of the Beggars' Sect can be blamed on you, Sect Leader Hong? How dare the famous Northern Beggar boast of chivalry again? How will you cope with this?"

Without saying anything, Hong Qigong immediately understood the real intention of Wu Chengyu making such a big scene today.

"If anyone from my Beggars' Sect makes a mistake, or does something unethical, you are welcome to intervene. If the investigation proves that they are innocent, I, Hong Qigong, will not show partiality to my subordinates. I also believe that the disciples of Peach Blossom Island would not frame others without reason."

Wu Chengyu smiled bitterly, stood up and pointed at his left leg.

"I was just being reckless and deceiving you. I am now a discarded disciple of Peach Blossom Island. Never again mention the name Wu Mianfeng. My real name is Wu Chengyu. Over a month ago, Huang Yaoshi broke my left leg and expelled me from the sect. Now, let alone punishing evildoers, I can't even protect myself."

Wu Chengyu looked up at Hong Qigong and said, "Master Hong, do you know that I have become the prey of your Beggars' Sect's Gushan branch? One of my elders has even been tragically killed, and my adopted sister has been abducted by them. I don't know whether she is alive or dead."
