Chapter 107 Repay Zhu Yuanzhang with Gratitude(1/2)
Chapter 107: Repay Zhu Yuanzhang for his kindness
At this moment, everyone present looked at Meng Xiuyuan in a different way from just now.
Although each of them is not yet a member of the world, they have been struggling in this troubled world, and they naturally understand the principle of respecting the strong.
Recalling Meng Xiuyuan's words and deeds of hugging each other and calling each other brothers when they were drinking and eating meat, everyone unconsciously felt a little flustered.
Although the young man in front of me looks kind-hearted, he has such great abilities after all. No one dares to say what he is thinking in his heart.
Recalling how Brother Ji Fei immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed when he first met Meng Xiuyuan, everyone couldn't help but think a lot. There were many distracting thoughts in their hearts, and for a while they didn't dare to speak to Meng Xiuyuan again.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang appeared calm at this moment. Instead, he laughed and walked to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Young Master Meng, I am blind, I didn't expect that your master, uncle and nephew could have such magical skills.
If that’s the case, then do you want to join us and let’s kill the Tatars together?”
Everyone present was stunned when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang like this.
Although they had always known that Brother Zhu was quick to do things and had an extraordinary temperament, they did not expect that he would still treat Meng Xiuyuan with a normal attitude and even directly invite him after he showed off his magical skills.
But what followed was full of expectations.
While drinking and eating meat just now, although Meng Xiuyuan didn't talk much, his righteous and magnanimous mind could still be seen in his words and deeds.
At this time, it seemed that if an expert like Meng Xiuyuan could help them kill the Tatars, then this operation would be foolproof and greatly beneficial.
It's a pity that when Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he immediately shook his head:
"I wish you all great success and drive out the Tatars. As for me, I will not participate for the time being."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel very disappointed. However, they did not dare to blame Meng Xiuyuan for this, so they could only maintain the smile on their faces, looking a little embarrassed.
Only Ji Fei truly understood Meng Xiuyuan’s character and immediately explained for Meng Xiuyuan:
"You don't understand the rules in the world, so you don't understand.
Meng Shaoxia was born in the Wudang Sect, one of the six major sects in the Central Plains, and there has always been some gap between him and our Mingjiao.
He saved my life by killing...killing the Green Winged Bat King in our sect on Kunlun Mountain.
He was able to guide me to join the Ming Cult, and today he is sitting with us brothers drinking wine and eating meat. He is already a broad-minded Meng Shaoxia who does not stick to sect distinctions.
It will really embarrass Young Master Meng if he wants to act with us again.
If he is recognized by others, it will inevitably damage his reputation among the martial arts sects in the Central Plains and make it difficult for him to communicate with his fellow sect members."
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he shook his head secretly in his heart. His unwillingness to take action had nothing to do with any sect differences.
During this year, he had responded to unspeakable invitations several times and secretly went to help, dealing with many masters from the Western Regions invited by the Mongolian Tatars.
The fact is that he just considered that facing such a group of potential heroes in front of him, he should not get too involved at this time and let their first action succeed too easily.
Otherwise, it may suppress their growth.
Everyone didn't know what Meng Xiuyuan was thinking, but they were shocked when they heard Ji Fei's words, and were overwhelmed by the huge amount of information for a while.
Although they have only been in Mingjiao for a short time, the higher-ups in their sect are still aware of it.
In their eyes, the Envoys of Light and the Four Dharma Kings are unattainable figures with unparalleled martial arts skills.
Unexpectedly, one of them, the Green-winged Bat King, was actually killed by this handsome young man in front of him.
What's even more confusing is that, listening to what Ji Fei said, Meng Xiuyuan seemed to have done a good deed by killing the Green-winged Bat King...
"Brother Ji, what is going on? Why did Meng Shaoxia kill King Bat to save you? Did you do something wrong at that time that made King Bat punish you?"
Xu Da was very puzzled and asked.
Ji Fei shook his head in distress, not knowing how to explain this for a while, and replied hesitantly:
"No, I hadn't joined the church yet.
It was Bat King who wanted to suck my blood, and Meng Shaoxia happened to meet him and saved my life.
It’s hard to explain this at the moment, but in short, Meng Shaoxia is indeed a good person..."
Meng Xiuyuan was slightly happy at the sight, and did not want to embarrass Ji Fei, so he took the initiative to change the topic and said:
"Don't blame me, it's just that I have something to do when I go down the mountain this time, so I can't go with you."
When Ji Fei heard this, he nodded quickly and said:
"Yes, for a person like Meng Shaoxia, what he does in the world is definitely not a trivial matter. Let's not delay him."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and they all understood that it was extremely difficult for a person like Meng Xiuyuan to drink, eat meat, and talk politely with them. It was impossible for a person like Zhang Yuanwai to disrupt the plan because of such a trivial matter as Zhang Yuanwai.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot on his mind and couldn't help but ask again:
"I don't know what Meng Shaoxia is doing, but the destination is our Fengyang County?
If so, then our brothers are born and raised here after all, so even though we don’t have much ability, we can definitely help to some extent..."
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this and replied frankly:
"No, my trip is to go to Lunan to meet a friend of mine."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this and quickly reminded Meng Xiuyuan:
"Meng Shaoxia, don't you know, there is a plague in Lunan, and I heard that many people have died.
Even though you have incredible skills, it's better to be careful.
If you don't mind, I also know some people who make a living by running errands and delivering letters to people. You can write a handwritten letter and I'll have someone send it to your friend for you.
You can agree in the letter to meet again in a safe place."
Meng Xiuyuan smiled and said:
"Thank you Brother Zhu for your concern, but there is no need to go to such trouble.
My friend, who is a very powerful doctor, is currently treating the plague in Lunan. There will be no danger if I go to him."
But he didn't expect that when he said this, it caused a big stir on the spot.
"At this time, he is treating the plague in the Lunan area, and he is a very powerful doctor...
What Meng Shaoxia is talking about is probably not Mr. Hu, the ‘Benevolent Medical Immortal’ who has treated countless people, including the living dead and the flesh and bones?”
Tang He rushed to ask.
Meng Xiuyuan grinned, somewhat dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Hu Qingniu had left such a good reputation now:
"He definitely can't do it with the living dead and flesh and bones. Whether it's 'benevolent' or not is up for debate.
But if we say it’s Mr. Hu, the Medical Immortal, then it must be the Hu Qingniu I’m looking for.”
When everyone heard this, their expressions immediately changed, and they all expressed their appreciation.
"No way, this medical fairy, Mr. Hu, is actually your friend, Meng Shaoxia. It's true that heroes cherish each other."
"My uncle and brother both live in Yuzhou. During the great plague more than a year ago, if they had not taken the medicine prescribed by Mr. Hu, I am afraid they would have been dead by now."
"I have always heard of the name of the 'Benevolent Medical Immortal', but it is a pity that I could not meet him in person..."
"Mr. Hu is still a member of our Mingjiao. He is a master respected by thousands of our Mingjiao disciples."
Listening to their chatter, Meng Xiuyuan gradually understood that Hu Qingniu had been traveling around the world for more than a year, treating illnesses and saving people. In a short period of time, he had left a huge reputation among the people.
Although everyone present did not understand what was going on in Jianghu and had never heard of Meng Xiuyuan's famous Wudang Zixiao Divine Sword, they had all heard of Hu Qingniu's glorious deeds.
Obviously, whether as a member of the Ming Cult or as a doctor, Hu Qingniu has become famous and "out of the circle" by virtue of his actions.
At this time, Ji Fei's eyes flashed and he suddenly said:
"I originally heard from the altar leader that Uncle Hu used to be nicknamed 'Seeing Death Without Saving'. Except for those of us in the Ming Cult, no one who came to him would look at him even if his knees were broken.
Later, he changed his temper because he was approached by his enemies, and was saved by a heroic hero between life and death.
Even traveling around the world to save people was done at the request of that heroic hero.
Meng Shaoxia...could it be you who saved Uncle Hu?"
At this point, Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to deliberately take credit for himself, but there was no need to deliberately lie to cover it up. He nodded and explained:
"I did save Hu Qingniu's life, but the reason why he is willing to treat diseases and save people all over the world is mainly related to his wife Wang Nangu..."
With that said, Meng Xiuyuan briefly told the story in Butterfly Valley.
After hearing the tortuous grievances and grievances in the world, everyone couldn't help but be attracted by it. When Meng Xiuyuan finished speaking, they all cursed Xianyu Tongen for taking revenge, and they all seemed to want to dig out his body and chop him a few more times to replace Hu Qingniu.
Like revenge.
At the same time, the way everyone looked at Meng Xiuyuan changed again.
Just now, they were only in awe of Meng Xiuyuan's martial arts and abilities, but now they also admire the handsome young man in front of them in terms of personality and conduct.
Among them, Xu Da couldn't help but take the wine jar, pour all the remaining wine into the bowl, hold it up with both hands and say sincerely to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Meng Shaoxia, I won't hide anything from you.
When you said just now that you didn't want to join us in killing the Tatars, I was still looking down on you in my heart.
I feel that although you are highly capable, you are a repetitive person who only dares to curse a few words and dare not really offend the court.
To be continued...
