Chapter 58: The Content of the Letter

  Chi Pengzu felt that this person's identity was not simple after meeting the self-proclaimed Huang Laojiu, one of which was the nine bags on his body representing the highest identity under the leader of the beggar gang, and even the golden armor guards and those Qing soldiers all gave way to him.

  When this man revealed his name, Chi Pengzu finally understood why he had such prestige, because Huang Laojiu was indeed worthy of the official and Jianghu's reputation.

  This Huang Laojiu was originally a yellow eagle, and he should have been the leader of the Beggar Gang. However, this Huang Ying did not go to be the leader, but instead knew that he was a free and easy-going person who could not lead the gang, so he gave the position of leader to the current leader and only became the ninth elder of the Beggar Gang.

  There was also Huang Ying, who was once the leader of Shanxi Province's boxing association. In the Langfang War, he led a group of heroic outlaws from Shanxi to fight against the Japanese devils, earning great fame and prestige. At that time, he was a man of great influence in both the imperial court and the Jianghu world.

  Just these two points are enough for the yellow eagle to be respected by the people of this land, and another point is that the yellow eagle once single-handedly killed into the den of evil bandits alone, and even brought the head of the bandit leader to the government.

  This kind of thing is even more worthy of praise from the people, so Huang Ying would dare to say such a thing at this time. It's also because of one person that Jin Man and the Qing soldiers didn't dare to make any rash moves.

  Chi Pengzu took this opportunity to roughly inform Jiang Yunshui of the identity of Huang Ying. After hearing about the matter, Jiang Yunshui knew that they should have escaped a disaster tonight!

  However, these words made Huang Ying's face turn cold. He looked towards a person who had just walked out of the Wuhualou. The man saw Huang Ying looking over and hastily bowed to say: "Don't worry, Master Huang. I will make sure they leave."

  Huang Ying made a fist at the man, who hastily dispersed the surrounding Qing soldiers. Only then did Huang Ying turn to Jiang Yunshui and his group.

  And this yellow eagle also changed its appearance and spoke like a kind old man: "It seems that you are the one Wang Lao mentioned!"

  Jiang Fengshui and Chi Pengzu hastily made a bow and said: "We have seen Lord Huang Jiuxi."

  "That yellow eagle burst out laughing and said: 'Not bad, you're just like your father, understanding the rules.'"

  Just as Huang Jiuye's voice fell, a burst of fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky outside Taiyuan City, instantly catching the attention of everyone standing outside.

  Huang Jiu Ye smiled and said: "It seems that Old Stick came a step too late."

  Those who understood the meaning of the fireworks display thought to themselves that tonight's sleep would be a lively one, because the fireworks just now were clearly the "Tian Xiang Arrow" signal of the Beggars' Sect. This signal was usually used when something major happened in the Beggars' Sect, and it was used to gather the scattered brothers of the Beggars' Sect both inside and outside the city.

  When the "Tongtian Arrow" went up to the sky, people from the Beggar Gang tens of miles away could see it and would rush to the location where the fireworks exploded in the first place.

  Huang Ying let Jiang Yunshui and Wang Zhenyuan come over, then turned to the people outside and cupped his fists: "Tonight I, Huang Laojiu, have ruined everyone's fun, but it was an unavoidable circumstance. Please rest assured, fellow Jianghu brothers, that half of your expenses at Wuhualou today will be covered by me, Huang Laojiu."

  Huang Ying stopped talking, and the people around also became polite. Later, Huang Ying didn't say much either, and called over the mother of Wuhualou, giving her a bag.

  Then Huang Ying took Jiang Yunshui and the others away, and the people around Wuhualou also began to disperse on their own, or re-entered Wuhualou.

  As for the beggar gang brothers who gathered from all over, they also disappeared quickly, and after a short while, the front of Wuhualou became quiet again.

  Jiang Yingshui and Chi Pengzu followed the Yellow Eagle all the way to the city gate, where they also stopped in their tracks after the Yellow Eagle came to a halt.

  Huang Ying looked at Jiang Yunshui for a few moments, nodded in satisfaction and patted Jiang Yunshui's shoulder, saying: "Although still young, he already has the demeanor of his father!"

  Jiang Fengshui bowed and said: "Thanks to Huang Jiuye's appreciation, I would like to thank Huang Jiuye for coming to rescue me."

  Huang Jiu laughed and said: "You little scamp, you're smooth-talking, but it's exactly what old Huang likes to hear. However, if I'm going to save you, you should still thank my brothers from the Wang family!"

  Wang Zhenyuan, who had been standing beside him without speaking, also smiled and said: "Huang Laoxiong is being polite. This young nephew of mine was once helped by me in the past, so I naturally want to repay him now."

  Jiang Yingshui and Chi Pengzu hastily thanked Wang Zhenyuan again: "Thank you for saving us."

  The woman in the tight-fitting outfit beside Wang Zhenyuan suddenly turned around and looked out of the city, only to see flames rising outside the city gate, accompanied by the sound of neighing horses.

  Huang Ying said: "It seems that the old gang has arrived, and it's not suitable to delay. Shui Xiao Shu and Peng Zu, you two should leave the city immediately."

  Jiang Yunshui and Chi Pengzu bid farewell to Huang Ying, and after walking a few steps, the latter said: "Let the Wang family brothers' daughter go with you, and don't enter the city for the next few days!"

  Jiang Yunshui stopped and waited for the energetic woman to walk over. The energetic woman bid a reluctant farewell to Wang Zhenyuan and the others before following Jiang Yunshui and leaving with them.

  After Jiang Yunshui and his men led the horses out of the city, Huang Ying and Wang Zhenyuan both let out a sigh of relief. Then Huang Ying took Wang Zhenyuan and the others to some place inside the city, and soon they were gone without a trace.

  After leaving the city, Jiang Yunshui and the three of them saw hundreds of beggars coming, all holding torches and standing there. In front of these people, Qian Chenglin was pulling a horse and waiting anxiously, and beside him was another man leading a horse.

  Qian Chenglin saw Jiang Yunshui and others walking out of the city, hurriedly walked a few steps forward to ask, and then several people came near the man who was just beside Qian Chenglin.

  This man was naturally the leader of the Beggar Gang, Liu Shaoyan. After Jiang Feng and others had paid their respects to him, the leader of the Beggar Gang led them to the headquarters of the Beggar Gang.

  On the way, Liu Shaoyan also learned from Jiang Yunshui about some things that happened under Mount Dianguan. He couldn't help but feel a sense of regret and nostalgia for Zhou Futong and Cha Qian who were buried in that place.

  After Jiang Yunshui and others followed Liu Shaoyan to the beggar gang's headquarters, Liu Shaoyan let Jiang Yunshui follow him into the City God Temple alone.

  Jiang Fengshui handed the letter that Peng Tianyang had brought with him to Liu Shaoyan, who looked very serious after reading the contents of the letter.

  Then he looked at Jiang Yunshui and said: "What Fang brothers mentioned in that letter was about you, Young Master Jiang."

  Jiang Fengshui said: "Liu Bangzhu, Tian Yang Liu Shu had already told me before he came."

  Liu Shaoyan nodded and said: "Since you also know, I'll tell you the content of this letter. Tian Yang brothers asked me to use my connections to send you to the Lecture Martial Hall for study!"

  Jiang Fengshui was stunned when he heard the news, and he didn't expect that Tianying Liu's letter would contain such content!

  Liu Shaoyan continued: "I have an older brother who is in the Beiyang Army's Wugong Hall, if you are prepared, I will send you there according to Tianyang's intention."

  Just then, Jiang Yong didn't react, and Liu Shaoyan said: "Actually, Tian Yang's words are very reasonable. Now the Haozi Camp is weak, if we want to truly replenish our blood, what we need is not people from the jianghu, but rather people like 'Mo Jin School Lieutenant' who have discipline and organization! And to achieve this, as the future leader of the Haozi Camp, you, Jiang Yong, must first become familiar with military life and become a soldier yourself!"

  Jiang Yunshui took over the letter that Liu Shanyan handed over, written by Peng Tianyang. The content on it was indeed about himself, and what Liu Shao said was not off by much!

  Liu Shaoyan said, "You should think about this matter carefully yourself. It's not something that needs to be rushed at the moment. Besides, with the current chaotic situation, if you really don't have any intention of going, I'll write a letter and send it back with Tianying brothers."

  Jiang Fengshui gripped the letter tightly and said to Liu Shaoyan, "Liu Bangzhu, since it's Tian Yangliu Shu's intention, then I'll do as he says."
