Chapter 28: Participating in a Literary Meeting
"Rice, braised meat, and dried meat, only twenty cents a bowl, with tea included!"

"Big hemp flowers, crispy and delicious, only ten cents a piece! Honey and peach cakes are also cheap!"

"Wontons, noodles, rice noodles. Please take a seat, sir!"

Listening to the hawking on the street, Qin Feng felt a little hungry.

Just now in the martial arts hall, Qin Feng learned a lot because of the guidance of the hall owner. He wanted to go home and practice it quickly to deepen his impression.

So he hasn't had dinner yet, and his stomach starts growling as soon as he smells something.

So he bought some snacks, ordered a bowl of noodles, and sat down on a small bench next to the stall.

"Sir, your extra mutton noodles!"

Qin Feng took the bowl of noodles, picked up a large piece of mutton and put it into his mouth.

That kind of satisfaction is really irresistible!

Eat another bite of garlic and a mouthful of noodles, and you’ll feel as happy as a god.

When it comes to eating, Qin Feng never treats himself badly.

He was like this in his previous life. He didn't buy luxury goods and didn't spend much money on games. At most, he would spend some money on Genshin Impact's monthly membership cards.

There is no big expense in other aspects, but only on this dish, I am willing to spend a lot of money.

If you don’t eat well before you make money, and you still don’t eat well after you make money, then isn’t it a waste of money?

Of course, he is not the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters.

I won’t force myself to eat something I can’t afford, I will just eat what I can afford.

Qin Feng was enjoying his meal when his attention was drawn to the conversation between two diners not far away.

"Would you like to go to the gathering in three days? It's right over at Pingchuan Lake."

"Of course I have to go. Lord Deng has been invited to this gathering. If my poem can catch Lord Deng's eye, I will be extremely rich!"

"Don't even think about it. People like us are not qualified to attend the rally. The best we can do is watch from outside!"

"What if? There's always a chance."

The two people were talking about the rally. It seems that this is a big matter and many people know about it.

If this kind of news had happened before, Qin Feng would have let it go in one ear and out the other and would not have cared at all.

But he had heard Li Yuanliang talk about this matter at the martial arts gym before, so he paid some attention to it.

But he didn't care too much about it. After all, he was not going to this rally and felt it was a waste of time.

After eating the noodles, Qin Feng quickly returned to his yard.

He recalled Master Liao's explanation in his mind and began to practice the Eight-Direction Chase on flat ground.

[Eight-sided rush proficiency +1]

[Eight-sided rush proficiency +1]

Half an hour later, Qin Feng's proficiency increased by two points.

Then he started practicing Taihe boxing.

August 8th, afternoon.

Qin Feng was practicing at home when there was a knock on his door.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Qin Yun.

He had told Qin Yun about the new place he had rented, so the other party was able to find it.

"Why is Big Brother here?"

"What a happy event, such a happy event!"

Qin Yun walked in with a smile on his face.

"What good news?" Qin Feng was stunned.

His elder brother hasn't even passed the county exam yet, and now is not the time for the county exam. The exam will not start until February next year. What good news can there be now? ! Could it be that the teacher he previously apprenticed to was promoted?
"Does Pingchuan Wen know about it? He's the one that everyone is talking about recently."

Halfway through his speech, Qin Yun remembered that Qin Feng had never been to school, so he waved his hand and said, "It's just a gathering of scholars. Some important people are coming. If you perform well at the gathering and are noticed by the important people, your future achievements will be limitless!"

"Originally, I had no chance to go to this gathering, but a few days ago, I became friends with the county magistrate's son, and he actually invited me to go with him, and said he could also bring you along, so I came to find you!"

Qin Feng: “.”

My goodness, we can’t get over this hurdle of holding a rally, right?
He didn't want to go!
Li Yuanliang invited him once, and now his elder brother invited him again.

And from what Qin Yun said, Qin Feng could tell that this was not a simple invitation, but the Liu family was showing goodwill to him.

During the moment when Qin Feng was silent, Qin Yun continued to speak.

"Not only will Lord Deng come to the gathering, but many of his disciples will also come, including a seventh-rank master! There will be a martial arts performance at the gathering to liven up the atmosphere, and maybe we can see the demeanor of a seventh-rank master!"

A seventh-rank master performing martial arts?

If it were explained, Qin Feng would indeed gain something.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't hurt to go to this rally, and it won't be a waste of time.

He also heard that Pingchuan Lake was not peaceful, with bandits on the water and mountain bandits nearby.

Li Yuanliang had said before that the owner would bring a dozen people with him to act as a protective force.

Obviously, this kind of thing cannot be handled by only people from one martial arts school. Other martial arts schools should also send people, and the county government will also dispatch troops to provide protection.

Considering this, Pingchuan Lake is still quite dangerous.

Although Qin Yun said that there were seventh-grade masters at the gathering, how could such masters protect ordinary people? If something really happened, Qin Yun would be in danger.

So Qin Feng combined his thoughts in his mind and finally asked, "Who is that friend you made?"

"His surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Yehui. He said he knows you. Have you ever saved someone from the Liu family?"

Qin Yun asked Liu Yehui, but the other party simply said that Qin Feng had done a favor for the Liu family and did not say much more.

"Well, it's just a coincidence."

Qin Feng continued to ask: "Who is that Lord Deng?"

"Mr. Deng's name seems to be Deng Shanming. He used to be the magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture. Although he has retired now, he is still a great figure!"

It turned out that he was a Tongpan before, which was a high-ranking official of the sixth rank, and that was the ceiling in Pingchuan County!
"The literary gathering will be the day after tomorrow, starting at 5 p.m. and lasting about two hours. We must set out at 7 p.m.."

"So early?"

"We, the little guys, have to go early. Those big shots will go there at a set time."

Seeing that Qin Feng did not refuse, Qin Yun took it as his agreement.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I've told you everything. I'll leave first. I'll call you the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay." Qin Feng nodded.

I hope I can bring him some surprises when performing martial arts.

If there is no surprise at that time, the worst that can happen is that he will just find a place to practice, and it won’t waste too much time.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng closed the door and went back to his room to practice.

Two days passed in a flash.

That morning, just after the hour of Mao, Qin Yun came and knocked on the door of Qin Feng's house.

Qin Feng was doing boxing in the yard to warm up. When he heard the sound, he grabbed the package he had prepared in advance and walked over to open the door.

"So early."

"It's better to be early. The ship will leave at 6:15. Young Master Liu will also go there early. We have to arrive early to leave a good impression on him!"

As he spoke, Qin Yun led Qin Feng straight to the north gate.

Pingchuan River is just to the north, and the pier is also there.
