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

Chapter 218 Wolf Ambition
The two spies exchanged information about each other, and the older brother also obtained the information about why the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen had suddenly all returned. The conversation between the two became much more relaxed, with the older brother showing more concern for the younger brother.

"Eat slowly. You can finish a roast chicken in no time. People who don't know better would think you suffered a lot on the mountain."

"Those old Taoist priests were quite good to me. At least they provided me with plenty of vegetables and tofu, but I couldn't get used to it. Back in Zhongdu, I was too lazy to even eat roast chicken."

You have to go to some village outside and kill a cow, then roast the beef on the spot. That's what makes it so delicious. And there are all those snacks and candied fruits too. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Last time we went to Zuixianlou for drinks, the deer tendon and osmanthus cake there were really good. You guys were so busy drinking with the girls that I ended up eating them all.

Unfortunately, for the sake of our family's revival, I will have to be a vegetarian for many years to come.

Wu Chengyu was initially moved by the fact that the two brothers had a good relationship, the younger brother was quite sensible, and the older brother treated his younger brother well. It was a pity that they came from different backgrounds and had to be sent out as undercover agents, thus embarking on a path of no return. But as he listened, the meaning of the conversation changed.

Ultimately, they were members of the Wanyan clan. Their so-called decline was merely a loss of power in the Jin court. They continued to live a life of decadence and debauchery, using the people's hard-earned money.

The young Taoist priest mentioned Wanyan Kang, also known as Yang Kang. Regardless of whether they fought or not, the fact that they could be encountered in daily life speaks volumes.

Wanyan Honglie was the sixth prince, holding a high position and great power. Wanyan Kang was, after all, Wanyan Honglie's son on the surface, and ordinary people could not touch him.

This kid used to not even want to eat roast chicken. Thinking back to when he and Ah Ku were begging for food, Ah Ku even ate swill with relish.

Furthermore, what does it mean to run around outside and kill a cow at will? Even the Jin Dynasty wouldn't allow the killing of cows so casually. It simply means that a group of noble children ran outside Zhongdu to bully the common people, killing and eating their cows. This means that at least one originally well-off family was ruined and destroyed.

Most importantly, this kid was only eleven or twelve years old when he started going to brothels with his brother to drink and have fun. If Wanyan Qing hadn't been sent out, he would have become a dissolute playboy in a few years.

A wolf is a wolf. Even when young, it will devour people without spitting out the bones. Perhaps in the eyes of such people, killing a few ordinary people is no different from playing house with chicks. The difference is that they will actually kill the chicks.

At such a young age, he already treats human life like dirt. This kid has the ambition of a wolf in sheep's clothing. If he really takes over the Quanzhen Sect in the future, he will bring endless disaster.

"Brother, it's getting late. If I don't go back soon, I'll be discovered. Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary. Wait until I pass the disciple-acceptance ceremony in six months and become Ma Yu's disciple. Then it will be easier for me to go down the mountain on weekdays."

"What a pity, there's only one roast chicken. When we get back, we'll have to live on vegetables and tofu again. Once I'm in power, none of these old Taoist priests will have an easy time."

"We're out of roast chicken, but look what this is?"

After saying that, the young man took out a package. The young Taoist priest opened it in a few quick movements and exclaimed in surprise, "Beef jerky?"

"Knowing you love beef, this roast chicken is too conspicuous, and its flavor will be easily noticed."

"Hide this bag of beef jerky well. If you really can't resist, just hide and eat one. It's made with the finest beef; it'll keep for a long time. Eat it slowly; it'll last you a month or two." "Brother, thank you. You're so good to me. Don't worry, I will definitely revitalize the family business."

"Yes, seeing the two of you brothers, your relationship is really good, it even touches me a little."

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side, took a piece of beef jerky from Wanyan Qing's hand, put it in his mouth, and found it really good. It was grilled to a high standard, not too dry, and chewed it slowly, which had a unique flavor.

After listening for a while, Wu Chengyu finally couldn't resist anymore. Moreover, he was a little hungry at the moment, and the bag of beef jerky in front of him was just the right thing to satisfy his craving.

To my shame, although I've been here for several years and have lived a good life in the Wu clan, even serving as the manager of Wuweilou Restaurant, I've actually only eaten beef a few times.

Occasionally, a cow would fall to its death in Wujiapo. These deaths had to be reported to the government for record-keeping. Each time, only one or two cows would be lost. There were several hundred people in the Wu family's direct lineage alone, so Wu Chengyu didn't really get much. He basically only got a taste and then left it all to A-Ku.

It's really embarrassing for time travelers. Think about Qiao Feng, a beggar, who would order ten catties of beef and ten jars of wine when he entered a tavern. But if you actually time traveled here, where would you find beef? Even Jin Yong sometimes makes the basic mistake of "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"

The two brothers were chatting happily and were about to say their goodbyes when, unexpectedly, someone squatted down next to them.

The younger brother was terrified, but the older brother reacted quickly, pulling out a dagger and stabbing it into Wu Chengyu's heart.

Wu Chengyu chewed on beef jerky with relish, while flicking his right finger on the dagger. The dagger began to vibrate violently, and the young man could no longer grip the hilt, letting the dagger fall to the ground. Immediately afterward, a surge of internal energy flowed from his hand into his body, and he found himself unable to move or utter a word.

Wu Chengyu's left hand was not idle either. First, he grabbed the little Taoist's Jianjing acupoint, making the little Taoist unable to move. Then, he took the beef jerky from the little Taoist's hand and stuffed it into his mouth in big mouthfuls. Feeling that it was not enough, he also picked up his wine gourd and took a sip of wine and a bite of beef. What a blissful life!

The two traitorous brothers could only watch helplessly as Wu Chengyu quickly devoured their beef jerky.

There were at least two pounds of beef, and even more than two pounds before roasting. Wu Chengyu stuffed it all into his stomach. After he mastered the Ox and Horse Stance, his appetite decreased significantly. Today, seeing the long-lost beef, he was able to eat his fill.

Fortunately, A-Ku wasn't here, otherwise he would be lucky to eat half a jin. A-Ku is good in every way, except that he always grabs food when he sees it, and only at this time will he not give way to Wu Chengyu.

Wu Chengyu patted his belly contentedly, and couldn't help but miss A-Ku a little. He wondered what A-Ku was like now that he was with Hong Qigong. He guessed that Hong Qigong was also regretting that he was such a glutton, but his disciple could eat even more than him, and the key was that he loved to fight over food.

Wu Chengyu had no intention of interrogating the two brothers. He had already understood their motives for being there. He would leave the details to the Quanzhen Sect as a gift before they went up the mountain tomorrow, so that they wouldn't break off relations when the fight broke out.

Qiu Chuji was a man of great ambition, and Wu Chengyu still wanted to make a friend. Moreover, he would probably be staying in Zhongnan Mountain for some time to come, and he had many things to do. As the saying goes, it's never wrong to be polite. He had helped the Quanzhen Sect resolve such a major hidden danger, so the old Taoist priest should not have the face to drive him away.

Wu Chengyu knocked the two brothers unconscious, placed them behind the stone tablet, and then sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing against the tablet to pass the long night.
