Chapter 3: How to Find Huang Yaoshi the Quickest
Chapter 3: How to Find Huang Yaoshi the Quickest
Huang Rong? Could it be Huang Rong from The Legend of the Condor Heroes?
This is the world of Swordsman, and those golden lights are very likely to bring famous figures from the martial arts world.
Someone shattered the river of time, while others sent people from different eras, even from different tributaries of time, into this era…
That's quite a generous gesture!
Could it really be the work of a deity? Do deities really exist in this world?
Furthermore, since the river of time was destroyed, what happened to those worlds?
What will become of this world then?
Why were these people sent to this era?
Li Ping couldn't figure out many of the problems, so he stopped thinking about them.
Huang Rong was shocked, but she also noticed Li Ping's unusual behavior: "Brother Li, it seems like you've heard of my name before?"
Li Ping nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the daughter of Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic. You later married the great hero Guo Jing and had two daughters and a son."
"For the rest of their lives, Guo Jing and I guarded Xiangyang and resisted the Mongol invasion."
"In the end, Xiangyang fell, and you two died for your country."
Huang Rong was dumbfounded.
Defend the city?
Martyred for their country?
And it's not against the Jin Dynasty, it's against the Mongols?
She had heard of the name Mongolia before; it seemed to be a small tribe further north of the Jin Dynasty. Why would they be the ones attacking the Song Dynasty?
And dying defending a city doesn't seem like something I would do!
She looked at Li Ping with suspicion.
Li Ping said, "It seems that's right. I also know that you have a photographic memory and can learn any martial art in no time, but once you've learned enough, you don't want to practice anymore."
"Moreover, he is proficient in various miscellaneous studies, including the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, Yin and Yang numerology, Qimen Dunjia, and his cooking is exceptional."
"It seems like there are some original dishes. Let me think... something like 'Jade Flute, Who Hears the Falling Plum Blossoms,' or 'Moonlit Night on the Twenty-Four Bridges'..."
Now Huang Rong believed it; apart from her father Huang Yaoshi, no one else really knew these things.
Of course, it should be corrected that these dishes were created by her father.
She exclaimed, "I never imagined that my name would be heard by future generations, nor did I ever imagine that I would die defending the city, and most unexpectedly, that I would come to be in the next generation!"
"Even the most fantastical dreams of our ancestors were not as bizarre as this."
"But why? Why did I come to this future world?"
Li Ping shook his head. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Huang Rong then asked, "By the way, could it be that you were able to die and be resurrected because you saw... the River of Time? Can I do that too?"
Huang Rong was very intelligent and knew that she shouldn't ask about such a big secret, but she was really curious. In addition, she had also seen the River of Time, and Li Ping's strength posed no threat to her, so she couldn't help but ask.
Li Ping said, "I don't know."
Li Ping knew that others certainly wouldn't do it, but he still had to be tactful in his speech.
Huang Rong thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I probably can't do it; this must be your own extraordinary encounter!"
Huang Rong wasn't envious, because she also had her own extraordinary adventures.
She could sense something within the golden light that had entered her body, but she couldn't quite figure it out yet.
Then she added, "Tian Boguang's swordsmanship is as swift as wind and thunder, and his skill far surpasses mine. I cannot defeat him."
"His lightness skill is so superb, I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to escape."
"Killing him would be helping me."
"I cannot leave this kindness unreturned, but I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer."
"This is just a small token of my gratitude, nothing more, but I hope Brother Li will accept it!"
After saying that, he took out a jade pendant that looked very valuable and wanted to give it to Li Ping.
Li Ping waved his hand in refusal, shaking his head and saying, "Tian Boguang killed me first; I'm avenging myself. But judging from your words, Miss Huang, are you perhaps planning to search for your father?"
"But there are countless people in this world, how do you plan to find them?"
Having finally crossed paths with a martial arts master who possessed internal strength, Li Ping naturally didn't want Huang Rong to leave.
He wanted to keep Huang Rong with him, because he wanted to learn internal martial arts!
"Don't call me Lady Huang, it feels a bit strange to me, it doesn't feel like that's me. Just call me Huang Rong."
Huang Rong paused for a moment, then made no attempt to hide anything: "I'm planning to do something big in the martial arts world and make a name for myself. When my father hears my name, he will surely come looking for me."
As expected of Huang Rong, she was able to come up with a solution so quickly after experiencing such a strange event.
Li Ping said, "That is indeed a good idea, but I have an even better one."
"The largest security escort agency in the martial arts world right now is the Fuwei Security Escort Agency."
"The镖局 (bodyguard agencies) travel all over the country, have the best information network, and have a large workforce. I can have them spread the word that you are in Fuzhou and are looking for Huang Yaoshi..."
"We can also post notices everywhere. As long as Huang Yaoshi sees them, he'll surely be able to find you very quickly."
"I know people at the Fuwei Escort Agency, this matter shouldn't be difficult to handle!"
Huang Rong thought about it and felt that this was indeed more effective than doing something big herself. She said, "Thank you. In that case, I'll stay in Fuzhou."
"I know nothing about this dynasty, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again, Brother Li."
Li Ping was overjoyed to have finally managed to keep the man there, and then wrapped Tian Boguang's head up.
After all, the government had offered a reward of 100 taels of silver for his head, and the wealthy Li family in the city had even offered an exorbitant price of 200 taels for Tian Boguang's head...
Not long after, Li Ping and Huang Rong returned to Fuzhou and went to the yamen (government office). Tian Boguang's head immediately caused a sensation.
In the end, the reward of 100 taels of silver was received, and the yamen (government office) did not embezzle a single penny.
Perhaps because they saw that Li Ping could kill even a vicious man like Tian Boguang, the officials thought he was some kind of expert and dared not deduct his pay.
Not long after, Master Li arrived, weeping bitterly as he thanked him in person and presented him with 200 taels of silver to express his gratitude for avenging his daughter…
When Li Ping received the 300 taels of silver, his hands were trembling. He had never had such a large sum of money in his two lives.
As soon as the two stepped out of the yamen, Lin Pingzhi found him. Fuwei Escort Agency was a local power and its information network was quite extensive.
Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "Brother Li, I never expected you to have accomplished such a great feat. You are indeed a man of great talent!"
Even a vicious man like Tian Boguang died by your blade!
Now that Li Ping is no longer his bodyguard, he directly calls him Brother Li.
Li Ping waved his hand and said, "Young Master Escort, please don't tease me. Don't you know my martial arts skills?"
"When I met Tian Boguang, he was already seriously injured. I was lucky to be able to take him down."
Lin Pingzhi understood immediately; so that's how it is.
He said that Tian Boguang's reputation was so great that his martial arts skills must be no less than his father's, and that Li the bodyguard's martial arts skills were only average, yet he was able to defeat him!
You're really lucky...
However, most people wouldn't dare to attack Tian Boguang, even if he was injured.
Li, the bodyguard, said that he had lost all his courage after the last battle, but he never expected that he would still have such courage!
As expected of a chivalrous person like us!
He said, "In any case, Brother Li has rid the people of a scourge. Otherwise, once Tian Boguang recovers from his injuries, who knows how many more women he would have harmed."
The two chatted for a few minutes.
Li Ping said, "Young Master Escort, this Miss Huang is my friend!"
"She's been separated from her father. I'm wondering if we could use the escort agency to help her spread the word and find him?"
"And I can pay for posting missing person notices along the way..."
Lin Pingzhi immediately replied, "No problem, no need for money."
"You're one of our own people from the Fuwei Escort Agency. How can we expect to pay someone else to deliver a message for us?"
He refused to accept the money and left.
After Lin Pingzhi left, Huang Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Li, thank you very much."
Huang Rong decided to stay and wait for news from Huang Yaoshi, so Li Ping decided not to go to Zhongnan Mountain. He rented a large courtyard in the city, and the two of them moved in.
In this day and age, it is quite shocking for unmarried men and women to live together like this.
But neither of them felt that anything was wrong!
The two tidied up the house and bought some groceries before it got dark.
Afterwards, Li Ping started making dinner...
