The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 377 Urgent military intelligence from Xixia!

While watching the situation develop on the field, Zhao Dongchuan silently sensed any movement in the apricot forest.

Suddenly, a very faint and low breath appeared in his perception.

If he hadn't intentionally investigated, I'm afraid he would have ignored it.

"Could this lingering aura be from Qiao Feng's father, Xiao Yuanshan?"

Zhao Dongchuan pondered secretly in his heart.

"what!"

"Boss Qiao, please don't..."

"Big brother!"

"..."

At this moment, the situation in the field suddenly changed. Qiao Feng stabbed a short knife into his left shoulder, and blood continued to flow out from his sleeve...

It turned out that Quan Guanqing had just been silenced.

Qiao Feng quoted from classics and made an impassioned speech which convinced everyone in the Beggar Gang. However, Bai Shijing kept shouting that the gang rules could not be broken and he wanted to execute the four elders and Quan Guanqing.

Qiao Feng directly took the magic knife and punished himself, taking the blame for them, in order to let them go.

With Zhao Dongchuan's strength, he could have stopped it, but doing so would have destroyed all of Qiao Feng's painstaking efforts.

"Ugh……"

"I'm afraid we'll go our separate ways in the end!"

He sighed secretly in his heart.

While he was thinking, Qiao Feng had already been impassionedly taking the punishment on behalf of the four elders one by one. There were four knives stuck in his shoulders and a pool of blood was on the ground.

Everyone in the Beggars' Sect was moved to tears...

"Boss, you are so kind and righteous. My life is really not worth dying for. How dare I trouble you to shed blood for me to wash away my sins!"

Elder Wu's eyes were red and tears were flowing... He walked forward and grabbed Qiao Feng's arm, deeply moved.

"Boss, you are so upright and righteous. I will no longer believe any rumors people spread about you. I will just treat them as bullshit..."

“Hahaha, Elder Wu, as the saying goes, men don’t shed tears easily… Stop being a sissy… This doesn’t seem like a hero… You’ve made great contributions to our Beggars’ Sect and our Song Dynasty… You can’t die in vain…”

After hearing this, everyone in the Beggars' Sect burst into laughter, sweeping away the previous tense and depressing atmosphere.

After everyone laughed, their eyes involuntarily turned to Quan Guanqing who was still sneering.

"Master Quan, do you have anything else to say..."

"Humph... It's nothing more than some self-torture tactics..."

Quan Guanqing snorted coldly.

"The reason I rebelled against you was for the sake of the Song Dynasty... but they are all fence-sitters. Their indecision gave you the opportunity to turn the tables..."

"It's a pity that the Beggars' Sect, which has been established for generations, is going to be handed over to someone else... It's really ridiculous!"

As he spoke, he glanced coldly at several elders...

"Master Quan, what do you mean by this... What's the problem with me becoming the leader of the Beggars' Sect? How can you say you're surrendering to someone else?"

Qiao Feng was full of doubts and asked in confusion.

“Hahahaha, this is truly ridiculous. A barbarian has become the leader of the Beggars’ Sect of the Great Song Dynasty! How ridiculous, ridiculous…”

Quan Guanqing laughed wildly as he spoke, and his tears were about to flow out...

Zhao Dongchuan, who was watching the show quietly on the side, couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to his acting skills in his heart.

"This guy is truly an award-winning actor! It would be a shame if he didn't participate..."

"Oh, that's not right... He is originally a character in a TV show... He is playing himself in the show?"

……

"Don't talk nonsense... Gang leader, this person is full of lies... just to gain sympathy, he should be killed as soon as possible!"

Bai Shijing saw Quan Guanqing like this, and a trace of jealousy and murderous intent flashed in his heart. He was the only person present who knew the truth of what happened...

He knew very well what Quan Guanqing was going to do. At this moment, he no longer cared about how angry the "beauty" would be when she found out about it later. He just wanted to kill Quan Guanqing as soon as possible!

"Wait a minute!"

Qiao Feng still had doubts in his mind, so he certainly couldn't let Quan Guanqing die in obscurity.

He took the sword from the law enforcement disciple, frowned, looked at Quan Guanqing and said calmly: "Master Quan, you seem to know my life story very well?"

"Humph... Qiao Feng, you are so calm and composed... Don't you really know it?"

"Oh? What should I know, you say..."

Just as Qiao Feng was about to continue speaking, there was the sound of horse hooves, accompanied by a few whistles.

A disciple in the gang also whistled in response.

Soon a horse came galloping from the north, with a man in gorgeous clothes sitting on the horse's back. When it came close, he quickly dismounted and took off his outer coat, revealing the Beggar Gang attire underneath.

It turned out that this person was a disciple of the Beggars' Sect. In order not to attract attention, he disguised himself as a wealthy businessman and rushed all the way.

"There is... there is... there is urgent military information!"

The Beggar Gang disciple gasped and spoke breathlessly. Before he finished speaking, his body shook and he fell to the ground.

The horse also fell to the ground after a mournful cry, and was apparently dead from exhaustion. It was conceivable that the man and the horse had exhausted all their energy after running for a long distance.

"Is there any urgent military information from Xixia?"

The leader of the Daxin branch recognized this messenger and knew that he was one of the disciples sent by the Beggar Gang to Xixia to gather information. Seeing his appearance, he guessed that there must be extremely important military intelligence.

He walked forward, picked up the small package containing the letter, and handed it to Qiao Feng.

"Boss, this is urgent military information from Xixia. This person is Yi Dabiao's subordinate!"

Qiao Feng's face darkened slightly. He took the package and opened it. He found a wax ball inside. He then crushed the wax ball with a little force in his hand and took out a paper ball.

He is the leader of the Beggars' Sect, so he naturally has the right to check the news and make a decision after discussing with the elders of the sect.

"Boss Qiao, this letter contains important military information... You can't read it!"

An old man with fluttering white beard and wearing tattered clothes with patches on top of patches came galloping over on a horse.

He quickly jumped off his horse and shouted, "Boss Qiao, you can't watch!"

Everyone in the gang recognized him.

This person is Elder Xu, who has the highest seniority in the gang.

He is already eighty-seven years old this year, and the former gang leader Wang would always respectfully call him "Uncle Master" whenever he saw him.

Qiao Feng's face changed, his heart tightened, he squeezed the paper ball in his hand, bowed slightly and said, "Elder Xu, how are you!"

Then he spread out his palm and handed over the paper ball.

"Boss Qiao, I'm sorry!"

Elder Xu was speaking, but his hands and feet were not slow. He quickly took the paper ball in his hand.

"Ma Dayuan, Ma's widow, Madam Ma, is coming soon... She has something to say, how about you brothers wait for her?"

He looked around and spoke loudly.

"Mrs. Ma is coming?"

"What is she doing here..."

"I don't know. Could it be that she... Boss Qiao..."

"..."

The members of the Beggars' Gang began to discuss in low voices.

Qiao Feng became more and more confused. The unacceptable answer in his heart slowly surfaced, making him uneasy.

Although his face looked normal at this moment, his heart felt like it was in a frying pan.

Zhao Dongchuan had come to his side without knowing when. He gently patted Qiao Feng on the shoulder and said softly, "Brother, let me bandage you!"

After saying this, Zhao Dongchuan didn't care whether Qiao Feng agreed or not. He used both hands to seal the acupuncture points on Qiao Feng's left shoulder to prevent the blood from flowing out, and then quickly pulled out the four knives that were inserted into his left shoulder.

He took out a small bottle from his arms and poured some white powder on the wound... After a while, Qiao Feng's left arm was bandaged.

"Thank you, second brother!"

Qiao Feng's originally uneasy and anxious heart gradually calmed down. He patted Zhao Dongchuan on the back gratefully and said with a smile.

Duan Yu also wanted to step forward upon seeing this, but he was worried about the fairy sister beside him—Wang Yuyan. He was tripped by the beauty and could not move at all.
