Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 19 Black Tiger Gang

Zhu Ju stayed in the city for half a month. He went to Ye Chongshan to learn martial arts during the day and returned to Lu Mansion to rest at night.

During this period, you will receive guidance from famous teachers and take good medicine to maintain your health.

In half a month, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he was probably no worse than Shen Hu, the best master in Yuecheng. However, it was really not something that made him happy to have received this in exchange for his wronged sister.

Hejian Prefecture is much more prosperous than Leping County. Not only is food, clothing, housing and transportation readily available, but there are also many martial arts masters. There are many benefits to living and practicing here.

However, after careful consideration, Zhu Ju rejected Zhu Shuang's suggestion that he settle down in the provincial capital and insisted on returning to the county town.

He has too many secrets, which would be easily exposed in the provincial capital, so it would be far less safe than living in the county town.

Leping County.

"drive……"

"Shut up!"

The carriage stopped by the roadside to make way for the funeral procession.

"Which batch is this today?"

Zhu Ju lifted the curtain of his carriage and looked at the people in mourning clothes crying along the road. He frowned and whispered:
"Why have so many people passed away recently?"

"Master." Ever since Qin Bo was injured, Ma Xun had been the driver. Hearing the voice, he spoke:
"When the Black Tiger Gang entered the city after the New Year, not only did many people die, but many were also injured."

“Some people can’t make it and will die.”

When he said this, his face couldn't help but darken, but he thought of Qin Bo who was recuperating at home, and his eyes were filled with worry.

Ugh!
Zhu Ju sighed softly.

It snowed for three days, and the whole city was covered in white.

Things are not much better now. Funeral music plays day and night, and the crying and shouting never stops along the way.

The most crucial thing is that the Black Tiger Gang's intrusion into the city dealt a blow to people's morale.

That night.

The Black Tiger Gang slaughtered the entire county government office; the county magistrate, the legal advisor, and the 36 members of the Shen family were all killed.

Many wealthy families in the city were also looted, and everyone was in danger.

Nowadays, the three words "Black Tiger Gang" can stop children from crying at night, and people are terrified in Le'an County.

"when……"

"Come and see, come and see!"

At some point, a group of people appeared on the street, beating drums and gongs. They were beating and shouting:
"Everyone, come quickly. The two heads of the Zhou and Sun families want to talk."

"Distributing food and porridge!"

The numb pedestrians on the street turned around one after another after hearing the noise and gathered towards the main street of the county town.

"Food?"

Zhu Ju spoke:
"Go over and have a look."

"Yes."

Ma Xun turned the car around and followed the crowd to the gathering place.

At some point, a simple platform was built here, and there was a team responsible for distributing porridge and food.

"Fellow villagers!"

Zhou Yangyun, the head of the Zhou family, stood on the high platform and shouted loudly:
"News has come from the imperial court that the Nanzhao rebels have blocked the way, so the bandit suppression army is temporarily unable to arrive."

"The new county magistrate is still absent."

"We all know that as long as the Black Tiger Gang isn't eliminated, Leping County will never be at peace. Time is of the essence!"

"That's right!" Sun Liancheng, the head of the Sun family, stood not far away and nodded in response:

"Nowadays, the roads leading to other places are infested with members of the Black Tiger Gang, making it difficult for goods to leave the county."

"This is not the way to go!"

"The only way is to save yourself!" Zhou Yangyun shouted:

"Zhou and Sun have sacrificed their dignity to raise funds here. We hope that fellow villagers will generously donate to support the bandit suppression charity."

"Those with money can contribute money, those with people can contribute people. As long as you are willing to follow us out of the city to suppress the bandits, each person will receive five taels of silver as a settlement allowance. In addition, there will be a reward of ten taels of silver for killing a bandit, fifty taels for the leader, and one hundred taels for the chief!"

"..."

"Master." Ma Xun said in a low voice:
"The Zhou and Sun families have been raising funds here for several days, but few people have contributed, and they have not left the city to suppress the bandits."

Zhu Ju nodded slowly.

"I'll pay five hundred taels!"

A young man rushed out from the crowd, threw himself down at the foot of the platform, and kowtowed heavily to the two family heads:

"Two elders, I am willing to pay five hundred taels of silver, just to wipe out the Black Tiger Gang and avenge my father."

It's him!

Zhu Ju's eyes moved slightly.

He Leshan.

The He family lived not far from the Zhu residence. That night, the He family was also robbed, and He Leshan's parents were both killed.

He hates the Black Tiger Gang deeply.

"senior!"

He Leshan raised his head, his eyes were red:

"Not only will I pay the money, I'm also willing to follow you two seniors to suppress the bandits, but... I need to know when we'll set off."

"This..." Zhou Yangyun's eyes flickered, and then he took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"Within three days!"

"Regardless of whether we have collected enough silver or not, we will leave the city and suppress the bandits within three days. We will never break our promise!"

"Okay!" He Leshan nodded heavily:

"I believe in seniors."

Outside the crowd, Zhu Ju lowered the curtains:
"Let's go."

"Yes."

He was not optimistic about the Zhou and Sun families' plan to suppress bandits, after all, he had had several similar experiences before.

Without a real leader, the group of wealthy guards gathered together were just a group of loose sand.

Maybe there are enough people and strength, but because of their different thoughts and strength, they cannot be united, which leads to repeated failures in suppressing bandits.

“It would be great if it works!”

"All I want is a peaceful life. If we can wipe out the Black Tiger Gang, then the name Leping County will be truly worthy of its name."

"Ma Xun!"

"exist."

"Go down to the treasury and get two hundred taels of silver as payment for the charity."

"……Yes."

a few days later.

Unnamed mountain.

"kill!"

He Leshan, holding a long knife and covered in blood, roared madly and rushed towards a member of the Black Tiger Gang.

Hatred can change a person beyond recognition.

He used to be gentle and polite, but now he looked like a starving hyena, with madness in his eyes.

not far away.

Leng Xing used the Chan technique from the Panshan sword technique to cut off a man's arm and saved Wan Jing at the same time.

"Thanks."

Wan Jing got up from the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Brother Leng, I...I will never speak to you like that again."

"Save your life first." Leng Xing shook his head and tightened his sword as he looked at the bandits coming from all directions.

"I didn't expect that this time we really busted the bandits' den."

Their original intention of this trip was to explore the route and prepare for the subsequent suppression of bandits, but who would have thought that they would run directly into a bandit's lair.

"Yes!" Wan Jing's face was bitter.
"How can you be so unlucky? There aren't many experts here. And your family actually let you come?"

"It was your second uncle who did something about it, right?"

All matters big and small in the Leng family are decided by Uncle Leng Xing. Previously, because of Ping Ruxue's incident, Leng Xing offended his uncle and has been unwelcome ever since.

This time, apart from the guards, only Leng Xing, a member of the Leng family, went out of the city to suppress the bandits. It was obvious that he was being deliberately targeted.

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

"when……"

Leng Xing raised his knife, which collided with the incoming steel fork, and his expression darkened slightly.

Great success!

"kill!"

No matter what the reason is, save your life first.

The same scene was being played out in various places on this nameless mountain, with figures falling one after another.

There are bandits,
There were also "righteous men" who went out of the city to suppress bandits.

Both sides were taken aback by the sudden confrontation, and had no time to think too much in the close combat.

The only way to stop is to kill the other party!
…………

mountain top.

Several figures intertwined and fought at an astonishing speed, and terrifying energy burst out around them.

Fufeng Sword!
The Zhou family's inherited swordsmanship comes from a certain martial arts sect. The moves are sharp and varied. The long sword that cost thousands of taels of silver to forge is extremely sharp and can cut through hair.

Zhou Yangyun's face was solemn, with a hint of purple in his eyes, a sign of pushing his internal energy to its limit.

The long sword in his hand was like a dragon, the sharp sword hissing as it broke through the air, and the hard rock was easily cut through.

"die!"

The Art of Chaos Wind!

Several sword energies flew around his body, and suddenly twisted forward, instantly cutting through the throats of the two people fighting with him.

"Brother Sun!"

After defeating his opponent, he roared and lunged to the side:

"I'm here to help you!"

Sun Liancheng is known as the best martial artist in Leping County. His swordsmanship integrates various martial arts into one, surpassing his master. He named it Liancheng Swordsmanship.

The fact that he was able to create his own sword technique shows how high his attainments in martial arts were.

But his opponent was equally formidable.

Black Tiger Gang leader Wu Chun!
A bright silver spear in his hand was like a black dragon emerging from a cave, and his body was like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Swords and guns collided, sparks flew, and the sound of metal clashing continued.

Wu Chun's eyes flashed with coldness, and his body seemed to retreat suddenly, but in fact he was hiding his weapon, ready to strike, with the spear hidden behind his back.

Back carbine!
A cold light appears.

"Well done!"

Sun Liancheng shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand slashed out an arc of light, and the violent internal force was released along with the sword moves.

"boom!"

There was a sudden roar between the two of them.

Release the internal energy!

These two people have already cultivated their internal skills to an extremely high level, and can even release their internal energy.

In comparison, Zhou Yangyun is slightly inferior.

"Ha ha……"

Wu Chun laughed while fighting:

"I've heard for a long time that the current generation of the Sun family's patriarch has amazing swordsmanship, but I've never seen it in person. Today, I see that it's indeed amazing."

"pity……"

“It’s still a little worse than mine!”

"when……"

The sword and spear collided again. This time, Sun Liancheng was exhausted and retreated several steps, and Wu Chun was unable to pursue him.

The two are equally strong, so there's no way of determining the winner in a short period of time.

but……

With Zhou Yangyun joining the battle, the situation reversed instantly. Facing the relentless pressure from the two masters, the Black Tiger Gang leader Wu Chun was already in trouble.

"what!"

After a long battle without being able to get rid of the two men, Wu Chun roared in anger and the spear in his hand exploded wildly.

"Brother Zhou!"

Sun Liancheng swung his sword and chopped, shouting:
"Be careful, he might do something desperate!"

"what!"

Wu Chun screamed wildly, wielding his spear like a whirlwind as he pounced on Sun Liancheng:
"Even if I die, I want you to stay with me!"

"Humph!"

Sun Liancheng snorted coldly, took a deep breath, and the sword light suddenly became faster, and he slashed twenty-six times in an instant.

The city is in flames!

This is the killer move of his self-created sword technique. There is no retreat when advancing, and I am invincible. All my strength explodes.

Although there will be a brief period of weakness after using this move, it can create opportunities for Zhou Yangyun.

Just as he expected.

Under Fenghuo Liancheng's attack, Wu Chun's middle gate opened, revealing all the flaws. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough.

"Brother Zhou, take action!"

"puff!"

The long sword broke through the air and hit the heart, but the target was unexpected.

"you……"

Sun Liancheng's body stiffened, and he slowly lowered his head to look at the bloody sword tip emerging from his chest, his eyes filled with shock.

"Feel sorry."

Zhou Yangyun, who was standing behind him, shook his head slightly:
"Although we have known each other for many years, I had no choice but to use ruthless tactics today. Brother Sun, please don't blame me."

"Haha..." Wu Chun laughed:
"This guy is really a tough one. No wonder Mr. Zhou doesn't trust me to leave it to him alone. It won't work without you."

"Clean it up." Zhou Yangyun drew his sword and said coldly:

"From today onwards, the Black Tiger Gang will no longer appear in Leping County. Has the Second-in-Command taken care of it?"

"Don't worry." Wu Chun patted his chest:

"Everything has been taken care of."

"Pfft!"

It was only at this moment that Sun Liancheng's body fell to the ground, his fingers trembled, and his consciousness sank into endless darkness.
