Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 9 Taking refuge
Zhu Ju had seen Yan Jingfu fight, but that was a martial arts practice, which was completely different from real combat.

Only then did we see the real Yan family Iron Wire Fist!

Yan Jingfu had iron rings on his arms, and his moves were both fierce and gentle. Any opponent who approached him was knocked away with almost one contact.

Qi and blood!

Only by stimulating the qi and blood can such tremendous power be unleashed.

Zhu Ju's eyes moved slightly.

When a warrior in the Blood Coagulation Realm burns his Qi and blood, his strength is actually no less than that of a warrior in the Entering Strength Realm. The only drawback is that he cannot last long.

In addition to qi and blood, there are also weapons!
Yuecheng martial arts schools don't teach many boxing and kicking techniques, most of them use weapons, such as the Liuhe spear and the Lan family swordsmanship...

This is also easy to understand.

Even if you nourish your body with qi and blood for decades, it cannot withstand the chopping of a kitchen knife.

Even a body-tempered martial artist still has flesh and blood, and is unlikely to be able to withstand the sharpness of a sword.

unless,

Like Zhu Ju, who has practiced top-notch hard skills!

Judging from their attacks, Shen Ying was the strongest among the martial arts school owners. He chopped with his spear like strolling in the garden, and no one could stop him. The strength of the others was not much different.

"what!"

"Spare your life!"

"I don't dare anymore!"

Several martial arts school owners took action, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and a group of thugs immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

If he hadn't shown mercy, the ground would have been covered with corpses.

Only Zhao Er, under the cover of his men, broke out of the encirclement and was chased by Yan Jingfu and Yan Xiuxin, father and daughter.

"Still running?"

"Kneel down obediently!"

Yan Xiuxin had long legs, and with a flying kick she used the momentum to strike Zhao Er right on the shoulder, sending him flying to the ground.

"Auntie, please spare me, Auntie, please spare me!"

Zhao Er lay on the ground, his face covered in dust, and clasped his hands together to beg for mercy from the two men:

"Master Yan, I am only following orders. If I knew it was your place, I would never dare to offend you."

"Be merciful!"

"You are quite sensible." Yan Jingfu snorted coldly:

"If we weren't here today, the cloth shop would have suffered huge losses. So, go to the government office honestly."

"Ah!" Zhao Er looked up, his expression changed:

"Master Yan, there's no need to take this minor incident to the government office. I'm willing to pay compensation."

"Compensation?" Yan Jingfu asked:

"How much can you pay?"

"This..." Zhao Er hesitated for a moment and spoke tentatively:
"Fifty taels of silver?"

"Fifty taels?" Yan Jingfu smiled and shook his head, turning back to look at the figure walking slowly towards him in the darkness.
"I don't have the final say. You should ask Master Zhu."

"Mr. Zhu?" Zhao Er raised his head, his face twisted, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. He then slapped himself in the face, saying:
"I was blind and didn't recognize a master. I deserve death!"

"You are so magnanimous, please spare me this time. I will never do it again."

his!
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. When I get back and gather all the people, you will be in trouble.

Zhu Ju's expression was cold:

"Manager Zhao knows Captain Jiang. Even if he went to the yamen, it would just be a formality. Why did it come to this?"

"Mr. Zhu, you don't know." Yan Jingfu explained:
"As the saying goes: The government office faces south, so if you have a reason but no money, don't come in."

"Once you enter the government office, you need to make arrangements with everyone from the prefect to the jailer. It's definitely not something that can be solved with just a few dozen taels of silver. Moreover, it will take at least ten days to half a month to go in and out. The punishment during this period is not that easy to bear."

"That's it!" Zhu Ju understood.
"In that case, there's no need to bother."

He lifted one foot lightly, picked up a wooden stick that someone had dropped on the ground, and gestured with it in his hand.

"What do you want to do?"

Zhao Er's expression changed slightly:

"I am Master Wu..."

Before he could finish his words, a black shadow had already cut through the void and pierced his heart like an arrow.

"puff!"

The wooden stick pierced through Zhao Er's heart, nailing him to the ground. Hot blood flowed along the rough stick.

Zhao Er's body twitched and he lost his life bit by bit.

"what!"

Yan Xiuxin screamed, then covered her mouth and stepped back.

Yan Jingfu's expression also changed slightly, his eyes suddenly shrank, and his gaze fixed on the stick.

"what happened?"

Shouts came from behind.

Lan Qisheng, Shen Ying and several other martial arts school masters arrived one after another, and their faces changed when they saw the scene in front of them.

The reason why Zhao Er was able to break through the siege was not because of his strong strength, but because the people from the martial arts school deliberately let him go. After all, the Wu family behind this group of people was not so easy to offend. But now...

"Master Yan..."

"I did it."

Yan Jingfu lowered his eyebrows and said in a muffled voice:

"As the boxing classics say: 'Strike one open blow to prevent a hundred blows from coming.'"

"The cloth shop has just opened and it's already been targeted. If we show mercy, this kind of thing will never end. The only way to get some peace is to make those people afraid."

?

Several people looked at each other.

In their impression, Yan Jingfu has always been good-tempered and easy to talk to, so why is he so decisive this time?
"father!"

Yan Xiuxin took a step forward and opened her mouth to speak.

"Shut up!" Yan Jingfu glared at her, stopping her from speaking.

"Crack! Crack!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Ju clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile:
"Master Yan is right. That's how it should be."

"Late at night, bandits robbed our cloth shop. We fought hard and accidentally killed someone. Even if the government officials ask about it, it would be reasonable."

"Pack up and report to the police!"

"Yes!" Yan Jingfu took a deep breath and said to several martial arts school masters:
"Everyone, Wancai Cloth Shop has already gained a good reputation and business is booming. Do you want to give in?"

"We are joining forces, isn't it just for this moment?"

"That's right!" Lan Qisheng, who had known him for many years, was the first to stand up and support him:

"If he's killed, then so be it. We didn't learn martial arts to be cowards and be afraid of him."

"Haha..." Shen Ying also laughed:

"indeed!"

After the conversation started, the atmosphere in the field gradually became relaxed.

…………

Yan's Boxing Gym.

"father."

Even though the incident had passed and the officials from the government office hadn't said anything, Yan Xiuxin still felt a lingering fear. "It was clearly Young Master Zhu who killed him, so why did you admit it?"

"Xiu Xin, you have to remember this." Yan Jingfu's expression was complicated, and he shook his head and sighed:

"Mr. Zhu is our Yan family's benefactor. Without him, we wouldn't even be able to keep this ancestral boxing gym. It's our duty to do things for him and protect him from disaster."

"But..." Yan Xiuxin struggled:

"The Baixiufang where Zhao Er is located has the Wu family's background. Aren't you afraid of the Wu family's retaliation?"

Wu family!

This is a wealthy family in Yuecheng.

"Background?" Yan Jingfu snorted coldly:

"He has a background, don't we?"

"What is our background?" Yan Xiuxin was stunned and suddenly said:
"You are talking about Master Zhu..."

"That's right." Yan Jingfu nodded.

"Mr. Zhu is our background. Although he didn't mention his origins, he must be of a high status."

"and……"

"That stick, I can't do it!"

That stick?
The stick that killed Zhao Er?
Yan Xiuxin's heart twitched, and then she came to her senses and whispered:

"Tempering body?"

"Very likely." Yan Jingfu nodded.

"It could also be some method to unleash Qi and blood. But no matter what, Master Zhu has achieved this level at such a young age. It's only a matter of time before he can temper his body. Even returning to the hidden state is not impossible."

"Ugh!"

He sighed and continued:
"My father's talent is mediocre, and his strength is nothing compared to the other martial arts gym masters. In the past, Master Zhu only had me by his side, but now it's different."

"If you want to continue to gain Mr. Zhu's trust, you must do something. What's the point of bearing the reputation of killing people? The people you killed were bandits, so even the government can't say it's wrong."

"One more thing. Go and give that blood-nourishing recipe to Master Zhu."

"Ah!" Yan Xiuxin's beautiful eyes widened:
"Dad, are you sure?"

"Of course." Yan Jingfu closed his eyes.

"Since we have decided to surrender, why are we reluctant to leave? We need to let Master Zhu understand our intentions."

"Xiu Xin, you don't have to rush back. Just spend more time chatting with Master Zhu."

Yan Xiuxin blushed when she heard this and slowly lowered her head.

main world.

Leping County.

Three treasures blood-replenishing soup!
Zhu Ju put down the paper in his hand, with a look of surprise in his eyes:

"I never thought that Yan's Boxing Gym would hide such a good thing, a blood-tonifying decoction from a certain martial arts sect."

"Deer antler, musk, ganoderma, polygonum multiflorum... a total of nineteen herbs, using a unique method to stimulate the medicinal properties of their qi and blood to strengthen qi and blood."

"This is much better than what the other martial arts schools have put out!"

He was not too surprised by Yan Jingfu's decision, but this qi and blood prescription was an unexpected surprise.

With it.

Practicing Qi and blood martial arts can be three times faster than before, and because it is a decoction, you can drink it frequently as long as your body can tolerate it, provided you have enough ingredients.

"pity!"

"The medicinal herbs are not only expensive but also hard to find. Otherwise, with this recipe, Yan Jingfu might be able to temper his body."

Shaking his head, Zhu Ju tapped the table lightly:
"Zheng State is not easy to find, but Da Qi is different. The martial arts in the main world are flourishing, and all kinds of rare mountain treasures are cultivated. There are also many deep mountains and old forests that have not been developed. It is not difficult to find them as long as you are willing to spend money."

"Well……"

"Snowing?"

I opened the window and saw snowflakes flying outside. The earth was gradually covered with a layer of white, and the restlessness in my heart calmed down.

"drink!"

"what……"

After becoming Qin Bo's apprentice, Ma Xun practiced martial arts every day. Now, he was already quite skilled in punching and kicking in the flying snow.

It’s getting exciting!

This talent...

No wonder Qin Bo liked this body. It is much better than his own.

If it weren't for the Qi and Blood Martial Arts, it wouldn't take long for Ma Xun to catch up with him in martial arts practice.

"Master."

Qin Bo came from the front yard:
"The county magistrate sent an invitation."

…………

A few days later.

"Shut up!"

Zhu Ju lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked towards the restaurant in front of him, which was also the place mentioned on the invitation.

The front of the restaurant was already full of carriages, and many people in gorgeous clothes were coming in and out, greeting each other.

"But the third young master of the Zhu family?"

A slightly immature voice came from not far away:

"My name is Heleshan, and our two families are not far away."

When Zhu Ju heard the voice, he looked and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth standing in the flying snow, bowing.

"It turns out to be Brother He."

After getting off the carriage, Zhu Ju returned the greeting:
"Due to the period of mourning, it is inconvenient for Zhu to visit. I hope you can understand."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." He Leshan waved his hand quickly, with the simple and honest nature of a young man.
"I wanted to visit Brother Zhu, too, but my father said it wasn't convenient right now. I didn't expect to see him here today."

"Yes." Zhu Ju nodded and asked casually:

"Brother He, do you know why the county magistrate asked us to come here?"

"What else can it be?" He Leshan shook his head, looking helpless.
“Get the money!”

"Collect money?"

"Collect money to suppress bandits."

He Leshan lowered his voice:
"Year after year, they extort money in the name of suppressing bandits, but the number of bandits outside the city increases year by year, and the harm they cause becomes greater year by year."

"Ugh!"

He sighed and said:
"It's snowing now, and it's freezing cold. Going out of the city to suppress the bandits is out of the question. In my opinion, they're just asking for money!"

"Brother He, be careful with your words." A burly young man appeared behind him and shook his head.

"Don't say this nonsense."

"But the third young master of the Zhu family, my name is Leng Xing, and I am honored to be here."

"Brother Leng." Zhu Ju nodded. He had heard of this person.

"I've long heard that there's a martial arts prodigy in Leping County who has already achieved great success at a young age. Seeing him today is truly extraordinary."

"Martial arts genius?" Leng Xing shook his head:
"Exaggerations from small places should not be taken seriously."

There were several young people behind Leng Xing, and they looked at Zhu Ju with curiosity and surprise.

Like...

The children from the towns and villages saw city people for the first time.
