Since being hunted down by the Great Light Sect, You Hongzhuo had spent the last few days in hunger and injury, only getting a full meal yesterday after meeting these two seniors.

This morning, while drinking porridge and listening to Senior Zhao talk about martial arts principles, he felt an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility.

He knew that these two seniors were highly skilled in martial arts. If he traveled with them, he might not even need to fear "Hebei Heavenly Saber" Tan Zheng. But such thoughts only flickered in his heart for a moment. The two seniors were indeed highly skilled, but saving him was already a great kindness. How could he implicate these two benefactors because of his own affairs?

After finishing breakfast, You Hongzhuo cupped his fist and bid farewell. Master Zhao smiled and looked at him: "Little brother, where are you planning to go?"

You Hongzhuo thought for a moment: "I... I haven't thought it through yet. I suppose my martial arts are weak, and the Great Light Sect won't spend too much effort searching. If any of my elder siblings are still alive, I must find them... Also, during the ambush that day, my eldest brother said that my fourth brother was a traitor. If that's true, I must find my fourth brother and avenge this blood debt."

He had now thought things through clearly. Compared to the Great Light Sect, he and his six elder siblings were probably not considered a major threat. Yesterday's encounter with the biological brother of "Hebei Heavenly Saber" Tan Zheng may have just been an accident. The current situation outside was terrible, and the pugilistic world was even more chaotic. He only needed to keep a low profile to avoid this storm and then investigate the blood debt of his sworn siblings.

"If that's the case, you can travel with us for a few days." After You Hongzhuo finished speaking, the other party smiled, "Your injuries haven't healed, and you don't have a specific place to go. Traveling together will be good company. We are heading south, and we are going to pass through Zezhou City, where the Great Light Sect's branch is located. Perhaps we can find some news. When your martial arts are stronger, you can seek revenge on Tan Zheng, and it will be a complete story."

"Thank..." Hearing Master Zhao's words, You Hongzhuo didn't insist anymore, cupping his fist to express his gratitude. But the first word came out, and he felt a lump in his throat for some reason. Fortunately, Master Zhao had already turned to walk towards the blue mule not far away, seemingly not hearing his words.

In fact, You Hongzhuo was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy this year. Although he had seen life and death, and had no family left behind, he could not escape the taste of hunger, the fear of injury, or even being killed. He offered his farewell because of his upbringing and the last bit of pride in his heart. He knew that after saying these words, there would be no further connection between them. Who knew that the other party would still offer to stay, and he was grateful beyond words.

The three of them traveled together, heading south along the official road from Xiangzhou towards Zezhou. This road was once an important commercial route during the prosperous era of the Wu Dynasty, but now the number of travelers had greatly decreased. One reason was the hot weather, and the other was the Qi Dynasty's policy of prohibiting residents from fleeing south. The closer they got to the south, the more chaotic the security, and the more desolate the trade routes became.

This area was close to Tian Hu's rule, and there were still some travelers, including merchants, travelers, ragged foot travelers, and镖局 (biāo jú) escorting large carts. They also saw Great Light Sect monks along the way. At this time, the Great Light Sect had countless followers in the Qi Dynasty. Although You Hongzhuo had no good feelings towards them, he knew the reputation of the Great Light Sect's leader, Lin Zongwu, as the number one expert in the world. He asked the benefactor couple about him along the way.

Later, through Master Zhao's words, he learned many old stories about the Great Light Sect and realized that the "Lin Echan" that the female benefactor spoke of yesterday was now the number one expert in the world.

At this time, the Central Plains had suffered from wars, and the oral traditions of the pugilistic world had long been cut off. Only Lin Zongwu, who now had disciples all over the world, and Zhou Tong, who had been heavily promoted by 竹记 (Zhú Jì) in earlier years, were known to the public. Earlier, You Hongzhuo and his six elder siblings had heard some rumors about the pugilistic world. However, the information they heard from those people could not compare to the detailed information he was hearing now.

The entanglements and grievances between the 魔教 (mó jiào) Saintess Sikong Nan, Saint Gong Fang La, Overlord Saber Liu Dabiao, Fang Baihua, Cloud Dragon Nine Manifestations Fang Qifo, Iron Arm Zhou Tong, Red Face White Hair Cui Xiaolv, and even the Heart Demon Ning Liheng, masters of the previous and previous generations in the pugilistic world, were told by Master Zhao in detail. The prosperous scene of the Wu Dynasty and the flourishing of the pugilistic world became more vivid in You Hongzhuo's heart. Now, all of this had been washed away by the wind and rain, leaving only the former Left Protector Lin Echan who had dominated the pugilistic world, and the Heart Demon Ning Yi, who had died in the Northwest years ago while resisting the Jurchens.

He had heard some of these things, and some he had not. Now, as they were simply woven together in Master Zhao's words, they became even more poignant.

"...If you go west along this road, it is still a living hell to this day. Because of the three-year war at Little Cang River, the Jurchens retaliated by massacring the city in the Northwest, almost turning it into a white land. An epidemic broke out among the survivors, and there are only a few people left now. If you go further northwest... Western Xia, the Mongolians killed down from the north two years ago, pushed past the Helan Mountains, and after conquering Yinchuan, they also massacred the city. Now the Mongolian cavalry has taken root there, and blood has also flowed like a river... The world is in chaos, and Lin Echan has risen in the chaos, bewitching a few foolish men and women. It looks like a great momentum, but in reality, his achievements are limited..."

After hearing Master Zhao finish speaking, You Hongzhuo suddenly thought, yesterday, Madam Zhao said "Lin Echan wouldn't dare to talk to me like that." What kind of status would these two benefactors have had in the pugilistic world in the past? He didn't know who Lin Echan was yesterday and didn't realize this. Now he thought again, these two benefactors saved him just by chance. Where did they come from before, and what are they going to do next? He didn't know any of these things.

He didn't want to ask. This day, Master Zhao occasionally told him some anecdotes about the pugilistic world, and occasionally pointed out things to pay attention to in martial arts and saber techniques. The You Family Saber Technique was actually a fairly complete internal saber technique in itself. You Hongzhuo's foundation was already good, but he didn't understand actual combat before. Now he paid too much attention to actual combat. The couple gave him some pointers, which didn't necessarily make his saber technique improve by leaps and bounds, but it just made him walk more steadily.

This day, in the evening, the three of them stayed overnight at an inn in a market town along the way. It was still a day's journey from Zezhou, but perhaps because many merchants stayed here, there were many travelers in the market town's inns. Many of them were pugilistic heroes with swords and weapons, wary of each other and with unkind expressions. The Zhao couple, known as the Black Wind Duo Fiends, didn't care. You Hongzhuo had only been traveling in the pugilistic world for two months and didn't know if there was anything unusual about this situation. When it came to dinner, he carefully brought it up. Master Zhao nodded: "They should all be going to Zezhou nearby."

"What major event happened in Zezhou?"

"When traveling in the pugilistic world, you must keep your eyes open and listen in all directions." Master Zhao smiled, "If you're curious, go out for a walk and listen to what they're saying while the sun hasn't set yet, or simply invite someone to drink two bowls of wine, and you'll be able to figure it out."

You Hongzhuo was startled, knowing that the other party was teaching him how to travel in the pugilistic world. He quickly finished the rice in his bowl, cupped his fist, and went out.

He had been worried about the Great Light Sect's pursuit for the past few days and didn't dare to approach these markets. Now that the two seniors were in the inn, he was no longer afraid. He walked around the inn for a while, listening to people talking and chatting. After about an hour, after the crimson sun set in the sky west of the market, he roughly pieced together the outline of the matter from fragments of other people's words.

It turned out that during the time he was being chased by the Great Light Sect, hundreds of thousands of "饿鬼 (È Guǐ)" (Hungry Ghosts) had been defeated by the Tiger King's army north of the Yellow River, and the leader of the "Hungry Ghosts," Wang Shishi, was being escorted to Zezhou.

Although the name "Hungry Ghosts" didn't sound good, this force was not seen as a villain by the pugilistic people. On the contrary, it was a well-known righteous army.

The emergence of the "Hungry Ghosts" had its legitimate reasons. After Liu Yu established the Great Qi with the support of the Jurchens, the situation in the Central Plains had been chaotic, and most places were in dire straits. The Great Qi first went to war with Old Cang River, and on the other hand, it had been fighting and pulling back and forth with Southern Wu. Liu Yu had limited talent and did not pay attention to the people's livelihood after becoming emperor. He issued an imperial decree to conscript all eligible men in the entire Great Qi into the army. In order to amass wealth, he issued countless exorbitant taxes in the people, and in order to support the war, he continuously requisitioned grain and even robbed grain from the people.

In this man-made disaster, natural disasters were also constant. In this era, the Yellow River was prone to flooding. After the political system collapsed, the Yellow River dikes were difficult to maintain, leading to inevitable breaches during the annual flood season. Floods, coupled with droughts and locust plagues in the north, had exhausted all the foundations of the Central Plains in recent years, and a large number of people migrated south.

The Liu Yu regime tried its best to prevent this migration, on the one hand, strictly guarding the border, and on the other hand, no longer supporting and protecting any long-distance exchanges. If there was no background behind them, and no road permits issued jointly by the court and local snakes, ordinary people would find it difficult to travel, and they would have to endure the heavy exploitation of bandits, refugees, black shops, and petty officials. In places with unstable security, it was common for local officials and clerks to arrest or slaughter foreign merchants and travelers as fat sheep at night.

These dangers could not stop desperate people. Every year, a large number of refugees tried to go south by all means, suffering countless tragedies of wives being separated along the way, leaving countless corpses behind. Many people could not reach the Wu Dynasty at all. Those who survived either became bandits or joined an army. Beautiful women or healthy children were sometimes captured and sold by traffickers.

In this year, Wang Shishi gathered a large number of refugees, trying to break a path under the heavy blockade of various forces. This force rose rapidly, expanding to hundreds of thousands in a few months, and also received attention from all sides.

The Jurchens and Liu Yu both issued orders to intercept them. The forces along the way were actually not happy to see the "Hungry Ghosts" go south - their rise was due to the current situation in the area. If everyone left, who would the mountain kings be able to bully?

Under these circumstances, hundreds of thousands of "Hungry Ghosts" were blocked on the road. After breaking through the blockade of several Great Qi armies, the refugees, who had problems with food and drink, of course also looted the towns along the way. At this time, the Tiger King's army came out under the banner of acting on behalf of heaven. A few days ago, the "Hungry Ghosts" who arrived north of the Yellow River were massacred and dispersed by the Tiger King's army. Wang Shishi was captured alive and was about to be escorted to Zezhou for execution.

Most of these pugilistic people were going to Zezhou to support the righteous men under the mobilization of the Great Light Sect. Of course, when they said "support," they would naturally consider taking action to save people at the appropriate time. And some of them seemed to be going with a kind of spectator mentality, because in the mouths of a very small number of people, there seemed to be hidden secrets in Wang Shishi's matter this time.

It is said that Wang Shishi, the "Ghost King" who gathered hundreds of thousands of people and tried to take them south, was once a member of the Black Banner Army of Little Cang River's Huaxia Army. The Black Banner Army had become a legend in the Central Plains since the three-year resistance against the Jin. After the Jin people left, it was said that a considerable part of the surviving Black Banner Army had disintegrated and infiltrated various parts of the Central Plains.

It is also said that the Heart Demon Ning Yi never died. He had been lurking in the dark, only creating the illusion of death to make the Jin people stop. Although such rumors seemed like wishful thinking from the Black Banner Army, it seemed that some people really wanted to use the "Ghost King" Wang Shishi's incident to lure out the surviving members of the Black Banner Army, or even explore the truth of the Heart Demon's life or death.

After learning about these things, he quickly returned to report to the two seniors. On the way, he suddenly thought again, the "Black Wind Duo Fiends," such a nickname with a baleful aura, obviously didn't sound like righteous people in the pugilistic world. It was likely that the two benefactors had previously come from evil sects, and now they had obviously awakened and become so calm and magnanimous.

After a while, he thought again, but looking at Madam Zhao's actions, killing Tan Yan and the other eight people in the blink of an eye was like cutting melons and vegetables. Such power and baleful aura did indeed have the feeling of "Duo Fiends." Perhaps these two benefactors had not come out of the mountains for a long time. Now that the wind and clouds were gathering in Zezhou City, he wondered what the younger generation would feel when they saw the two seniors, or whether Lin Zongwu, the number one in the world, would appear and what he would feel when he saw the two seniors.

Thinking about these things alone made him excited.

That's right, and the Heart Demon, Black Banner, would they really appear in Zezhou City...
