Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 20 Big victory!

"kill!"

Leng Xing, with a ferocious face, brandished a long sword, pushing the Panshan sword technique to the extreme, and the sword light was shining and intimidating.

A fight.

Several young men who seriously lacked experience in the underworld were surrounded by bandits. Almost everyone was injured and the situation was precarious.

Seeing that the defense line was about to collapse, the offensive in front suddenly weakened.

what happened?

Leng Xing easily broke out of the encirclement and saw the bandits all over the mountains scattering like headless flies.

"The gang leader escaped!"

"The deputy gang leader is dead!"

"..."

Two figures rushed into the dense forest one after another.

The figure in front had an injured arm and was staggering, while the figure behind was chasing him closely with a sword in hand.

They were Wu Chun, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, and Zhou Yangyun, the head of the Zhou family.

The Black Tiger Gang, having lost their core leader, was in chaos. Having lost their fighting spirit, they were all thinking about escaping from this place.

"kill!"

Someone shouted loudly:

"Kill all these bandit bastards!"

"puff!"

The situation suddenly reversed in a short moment. Leng Xing felt his blood boiling and he brandished his sword and shouted:

"kill!"

Chasing a few bandits into a group of simple wooden houses, Leng Xing approached quickly and knocked them to the ground one by one with his sword.

"Spare your life!"

"Hero, spare your life!"

The last person saw that he could not escape, and his knees gave way and he fell to the ground, saying hurriedly:

"I know where the deputy gang leader hides his treasures. There are gold, silver, treasures, and precious medicines for strengthening the body, as well as techniques for the inner energy realm."

"As long as the hero lets me go, I am willing to take the hero there."

Ok?
Leng Xing suddenly stopped swinging the knife, his eyes flashed, and he put the blade across the bandit's throat.

"lead the way!"

…………

"Master!"

Early in the morning, Ma Xun's ecstatic shouts broke the tranquility of the Zhu Mansion:

"The team that went out of the city to suppress the bandits has returned. I heard that this mission was a great victory and the Black Tiger Gang was completely wiped out."

"The Black Tiger Gang's deputy leader's body was hung at the city gate for people to whip."

"Oh?" Zhu Ju pushed the door open and walked out, looking surprised:

"I didn't expect that the bandit suppression would be so successful this time. Even Black Tiger Gang leader Wu Chun died?"

"No." Ma Xun shook his head.
"He escaped."

"I heard that Black Tiger Gang leader Wu Chun killed Sun Family head Sun Liancheng, but he himself was seriously injured in the process. He finally escaped from Zhou Family head Zhou Yangyun's pursuit. It is not certain whether he can survive."

"Even if he manages to survive, the Black Tiger Gang won't amount to anything with just him left."

"Hmm." Zhu Ju seemed to be thinking.
"Go out and see."

"Yes."

At this time, the news of the successful suppression of the bandits had spread, and many families decorated their homes with lanterns and fireworks, and the sound of firecrackers continued to celebrate.

The main street was packed with people, all with the joy of revenge on their faces.

The bandit-suppression team was surrounded by the people of the county town as they marched forward, just like a returning hero being praised with flowers.

The Black Tiger Gang, which had been plaguing Leping County for many years, was finally wiped out. This was equivalent to removing a huge rock that was pressing on the people, and the entire Leping County fell into a kind of fanaticism.

"Master Zhou is mighty!"

"Thanks to Master Zhou!"

"..."

"How embarrassing!" Zhou Yangyun sat on his horse and bowed to the crowd.

"The Zhou family has been rooted in Leping County for hundreds of years. Without the support of our fellow villagers, there would be no Zhou family today."

"It's a stroke of luck that we were able to wipe out the Black Tiger Gang this time. It seems that even Heaven cannot tolerate their actions..."

"It's a pity that Brother Sun couldn't see it with his own eyes!"

Zhu Ju stood on the outskirts of the crowd, looking at the victorious team, among whom were many familiar faces.

He Leshan, Leng Xing, Wan Jing...

“Why are they all young people?”

"Master." Ma Xun whispered:

"It's said that this bandit suppression was just a show to appease the people, so not many real masters from the county went there. No one expected them to run into a bandit's lair, and they had no choice but to fight to the death."

"Ah……"

"It actually worked!"

He clicked his tongue, his expression odd and funny.

coincidence?

Why are there so many coincidences?
Zhu Ju shook his head slightly, but didn't intend to pay attention. No matter what, the demise of the Black Tiger Gang was a fact.

It can be predicted that if no other changes occur, Leping County will be very stable in the next few years.

This is a good thing!

"Look!"

Ma Xun stood on tiptoe:

"The Sun family is here."

At the end of the street, a group of men and women in mourning clothes walked slowly and took over Sun Liancheng's body.

"Woo..."

"Daddy!"

"Uncle!"

Cries arose.

It was not only Sun Liancheng who died. Because the contact was too sudden, many people died at the hands of the bandits.

Their family members took the bodies, some were unwilling to believe, some cried loudly, and some collapsed to the ground with lifeless eyes.

Joy and sadness are in sharp contrast.

"For decades, Leping County has been controlled by the Zhou and Sun families. Now that Sun Liancheng is dead, the old man of the Sun family is on his last legs, and the younger generation has not yet grown up, I'm afraid there will be hidden dangers."

"Ugh!"

"The disputes among the big families have never ceased. At least it's better than bandits breaking into the city and causing harm to the common people. Why would the old man worry about it?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Besides, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Without Sun Liancheng, the Sun family is not that easy to deal with."

The whispers in the crowd made Zhu Ju tilt his head slightly, his eyes flickering, and then he looked away with a chuckle. As long as he lived a peaceful life and didn't encounter bandits, what did the so-called family disputes have to do with him?

Xiemen Street.

There used to be many famous tailors and garment shops in Yuecheng here, but for some reason they gradually declined.

Until a few months ago, all 38 storefronts and shops on Xiemen Street were taken over by a force.

And demolish and rebuild.

The ground was re-compacted, the street was more than doubled in width, and the shops on both sides were built into two-story buildings.

Before the street was built, a number of weaving factories, cloth shops, and garment merchants had already reserved locations here. Because the stores were so popular, sometimes several companies would join forces to take over a single shop and agree to share the space.

"From now on, when people mention Yuecheng, they will remember not only the fish market but also the Wancai Cloth Shop!"

Yan Jingfu's face flushed red as he said:

"With the help of the Menghu Martial Arts School, the cloth from Wancai Cloth Shop can be sold in more than ten nearby cities. It's only a matter of time before it becomes a global hit."

"After expanding into a cloth shop, we have everything from cotton and linen industries, weaving mills, to hot-dyeing and printing, and garment cutting. Anything related to cloth can be found here. The whole of Haizhou is inevitably related to us."

"Ha ha……"

"I'm excited just thinking about it. If I could witness this day with my own eyes, it would be worth it even if I die."

"Brother Yan." Lan Qisheng stood side by side with him and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect you to be so talented in business that you actually built a cloth shop."

"I don't deserve Brother Lan's praise." Yan Jingfu shook his head.

"This is possible thanks to the great help of Lord Fang. Otherwise, we would be helpless."

"Of course!"

"The support of Master Zhu and Master Shen is also indispensable."

This is not true.

Zhu Ju had proposed long ago to turn a cloth shop into a complete cloth store with upstream and downstream services, but it had always been difficult to achieve.

It's not about lack of money.

Rather, buying land and building shops requires participation from all parties, and just the corruption and extortion alone can make a person lose all his hair.

Without the strong support of the new prefect, Mr. Fang, how would it be easy to complete it?

"Lord Fang is a good official."

Lan Qisheng nodded:
"A truly good official!"

"correct."

He looked around and saw that it was a great day for the cloth shop to open, and vendors and cloth merchants from all over were bustling about.

"Master Zhu hasn't arrived yet?"

"We're here." Yan Jingfu pointed upwards.
"Have a rest upstairs."

…………

"Body Tempering Realm!"

Zhu Ju slowly put away his health-preserving posture, exhaled a long breath, and shook his head helplessly:
“Progress is too slow.”

The Yan family's health-preserving exercises only have methods of practice to strengthen the blood and coagulate the blood, and the tempering of the body depends entirely on the spontaneous generation of qi and blood.

Without any method, the speed of self-tempering can be imagined.

Shen Hu, the master of the Menghu Martial Arts School, advanced to the Body Tempering Realm at a young age. He has been practicing every day for decades without slacking off, which is why he has achieved what he has today. However, he is still far away from the Guizang Realm.

"Fortunately, the Qi and blood temper the body, not just the inside but also the outside. The internal organs are also tempered. The Thirteenth Horizontal Organ Refining Realm has been a smooth journey. Now, as long as I don't encounter a Guizang master in this world, I will be fine."

"Rumble..."

He moved his body slightly, and a subtle sound like thunder came from inside his body. This was a sign that his internal organs had reached the tiger and leopard thunder stage.

He kept saying that his progress in cultivation was too slow, but if his fellow practitioners of the Thirteen Horizontal Refinements saw his progress in the past few months, they would probably be shocked.

Tigers and leopards thunder!

The internal organs are successful!

Entering the Blood Marrow Realm is just around the corner.

"If I could acquire a top-notch Qi and Blood Martial Art, my cultivation progress would at least double. The key is that I don't even know how to advance to Guizang without a method."

With a calm smile, Zhu Ju pushed the door open and walked out:

"It doesn't matter. Life isn't just about cultivation. There are all kinds of interesting things to do. Blindly practicing isn't for me."

While he was resting, the lobby was already crowded with visiting guests.

"Mr. Zhu!"

"Shopkeeper Lu!"

"congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"..."

After saying hello, Zhu Ju stepped onto the platform and bowed to Shen Hu and Tie Heng who were also on the platform.

Shen Hu is now an important partner of Wancai Cloth Shop, while Chief Constable Tie Heng represents the government.

There are three seats on the platform, and only the middle seat is vacant, obviously reserved for him.

"It's almost time."

Yan Jingfu climbed up the tower and took out a bronze gong and handed it to Zhu Ju:
"Mr. Zhu, please strike the gong of wealth and prosperity and summon gold and silver."

Zhu Ju stood up and took it.

"Everyone."

Yan Jingfu turned around, looked at everyone in the field, and shouted:

"When the gong sounds, wealth and prosperity begin!"

“Boring…”

Zhu Ju struck the first blow.

"Two gongs, the God of Wealth will come in!"

“Boring…”

"Three sounds of the golden gong bring good fortune!"

"..."

Zhu Ju, who was about to strike the gong, suddenly stopped what he was doing, frowned and looked into the distance.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Seeing him stop, everyone in the field looked at each other, and then a cry of surprise was heard.

"Go away!"

"Wow..."

But it was the shop at the end of the street that caught fire.

"Someone must have set the fire on purpose!" Shen Hu slammed the table and stood up. How could a fire start by such a coincidence? He shouted angrily:

"Martial arts disciples, go quickly and capture the thief who set the fire. Beat him to death without mercy!"

"Let's put out the fire first." Tie Heng said:
"The fire is spreading and may injure nearby residents."

I knew it wouldn’t be that smooth!
Zhu Ju sighed:

"Captain Tie, I would like to visit Lord Fang."
