Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 24 Celebration
Hongfu Restaurant.

Zhu Ju came at the invitation.

This time the government held a banquet to entertain the heroes who wiped out the seven districts of Huajie a few days ago. Many guests gathered together.

"Mr. Zhu."

Shen Hu, dressed in elegant attire, grabbed someone and said with a smile:

"Let me introduce you to a friend, Ghost Foot Lao Xiang from the Cao Gang. This guy's strength is no less than mine."

Ghost-legged Xiang Zhongyuan!
The leader of the Cao Gang!

This man is very famous in Yuecheng. The fish market at the wharf is his iron-clad empire, where no one can get in, not even a drop of water can penetrate.

In terms of background and strength, the Cao Gang is no less than the two century-old powerful families of Wu and Zhao.

The Cao Gang disciples were also the main force that captured Huajie last night!
"Boss Xiang."

Zhu Ju bowed:

"I've admired you for a long time, I've admired you for a long time!"

Xiang Zhongyuan was not good-looking, but tall and thin, with long and strong legs, and he walked with great vigor.

"Mr. Zhu, I have heard of your great name for a long time." Xiang Zhongyuan grinned and said:

"The Cao Gang has some connections on the water. If Mr. Zhu's cloth is going to be shipped by water in the future, don't forget to take care of Xiang's business."

"Boss Xiang, you're too polite." Zhu Ju shook his head.
"The cloth shop has always wanted to cooperate with the Cao Gang, but unfortunately we haven't been able to find a way. I'll thank Gang Leader Xiang for his care in the future."

"No problem, no problem!" Xiang Zhongyuan laughed.

"That's what I admire about Master Zhu. He makes friends with everyone and doesn't eat alone. That's how he can become big and strong."

"A single flower does not make a spring. There is no need to fight to the death in business. Win-win cooperation is the only way to achieve long-term success." Zhu Ju gestured with his hand:
"Let's go in and talk."

"Okay, okay, let's go in and talk!" Xiang Zhongyuan embraced Shen Hu:

"I heard that after taking over Baixiu last night, you, Shen Lao Hu, went to Miaotingfang again and gained a lot?"

"Hmm..." Shen Hu pursed his lips:
"I was asked to go there to find something."

"You seem honest, but you're actually the most dishonest person. You're hiding things from even your old friends." Xiang Zhongyuan shook his head and looked away.
"By the way, do you know where those people came from?"

In a corner of the restaurant, more than ten people occupied two occupant tables. They sat there in silence, carrying swords and knives, and the air was filled with a murderous aura, which was in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of other places.

"The Black Armor Army."

Shen Hu lowered his voice:

"I came from the capital on the orders of His Majesty the Third Prince."

Black Armor Army?
Zhu Ju seemed to be lost in thought.

Last night, more than 200 armored men rushed into Huajie to assist the government in suppressing the members of the Red Blood Cult.

These people have all practiced Qi and blood martial arts, and with the armor on their bodies, even if they are only at the level of controlling Qi and blood, they are equivalent to more than 200 blood coagulation warriors.

Even Dugu Ming, whose methods were extraordinary, was still held back for a moment by the three Xuanjia soldiers.

If hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers rushed forward, not to mention the Body Tempering Martial Master, even Guizang Wuzong would be doomed to death once surrounded.

"Capital?"

Xiang Zhongyuan seemed to be thinking:
"Lord Fang is worried about the nearby garrison, so he actually dispatched troops all the way from the capital."

"Third Highness..."

"But the one who is expected to inherit the throne?"

"Yes." Shen Hu nodded and lowered his voice:

"Brother Xiang, be careful with your words. The Crown Prince has only lost power and is still residing in the Eastern Palace. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us."

"That's right." Xiang Zhongyuan shrugged.

"The court is too far away..."

"Mr. Zhu." At this time, a hearty voice came from the side:

"I would like to thank you for saving me!"

The man who came had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was handsome and extraordinary. His temperament was as elegant and otherworldly as that of an immortal in a painting.

Even though Zhu Ju thought he was pretty good-looking, he still felt inferior when he saw the other person.

"Hero Ye."

Zhu Ju bowed:

"As the saying goes, good fortune always comes to those who are lucky. Even if we hadn't been there, Hero Ye would have been fine last night."

Ye Liuyun.

The knight who was trapped in the Red Blood Cult's headquarters last night has a great reputation in the martial arts world. He comes from a martial arts family and is known as the Seven-Star Swordsman.

Well……

He is a Guizang master!
To be honest, Zhu Ju was also surprised when he learned about this. After all, Ye Liuyun was not yet thirty years old.

It is no wonder that such a young Master Gui Zang was noticed by the Red Blood Sect, who wanted to use the Blood-stealing Curse to take away his cultivation and talent.

"You are too."

Flower Fist Fu Huanlian appeared at the side and shook his head.
"A Guizang Grandmaster was actually ambushed by a few blood coagulation warriors. He is too inexperienced in the martial arts world."

"Alas!" Ye Liuyun sighed, his expression complicated:
"Martial arts...how can anyone be so sinister?"

Zhu Ju glanced at the two of them with suspicion in his eyes. There seemed to be some ambiguity between these two Guizang masters. Could it be that they had some emotional entanglement?
This wasn't surprising, after all, the age difference was not that big. "Hero Ye," Xiang Zhongyuan said excitedly.
"Do you still remember me? Ten years ago, I followed my master to Yejiazhuang and met Elder Ye."

"Boss Xiang." Ye Liuyun said politely:
"I've heard about the name for a long time."

Shen Hu curled his lips aside.

He and Xiang Zhongyuan are considered top figures in Yuecheng, but they are nothing in the whole world.

If I really want to make an analogy...

The two men were just local tyrants, barely second-rate figures in the underworld. They were well-known in Yuecheng, but almost unknown outside of Yuecheng.

Ye Liuyun of the Seven-Star Sword and Fu Huanlian of the Flower Fist, both well-known Guizang masters, are naturally first-rate masters. Most people who hang out in the martial arts world have heard of their names.

Further up.

There are also the most powerful people in the world, such as the old man of the Ye family, the leader of the Red Blood Sect, and the monk of the Golden Wheel Temple.

Said to be second-rate.

In fact, Shen Hu and Xiang Zhongyuan were not considered strong in the Body Tempering Realm. After all, the methods they practiced were too ordinary. If there was a novel with Ye Liuyun as the protagonist, they would just be some background boards that could barely make it to the stage.

"Pfft!"

A muffled sound made everyone stop what they were doing.

"Mr. Zhu."

I saw a young girl kneeling in front of Zhu Ju, kowtowed and said:
"You avenged my sister and saved my life. I have no way to repay you, so I can only serve you as a slave."

"I hope you will help me!"

As he said this, he kowtowed loudly, making the floor bang loudly.

"Miss Qin."

Zhu Ju took a step back:
"What are you doing? Get up quickly."

"Mr. Zhu." Qin Lingwei gritted her teeth.

"Please take it in."

"Haha..." Shen Hu laughed at this:
"Brother Zhu, how can you be heartless when a beautiful woman is interested in you? Just be a good person and accept her."

"Not bad." Xiang Zhongyuan nodded:

"Mr. Zhu seems to have always been alone, so it's only natural that he has someone to take care of him."

Faced with this scene, others also smiled without saying anything.

Saving someone's life and having the beauty repay him with her own life is an elegant story that is often seen in vernacular novels and can be a topic of conversation.

Seeing Qin Lingwei kowtow continuously, Zhu Ju's face darkened slightly. There was no trace of pleasure in his eyes, but instead a sense of vigilance. His eyes flickered slightly. He shrugged and spoke slowly:
"Okay, if you want to stay, then stay. Get up first and we'll talk later."

"Yes." Qin Lingwei stood up and stood behind Zhu Ju with a red and swollen forehead, like a personal maid.

"Everyone!"

At this time, Lord Fang finally showed up:

"The Seven Wards of Flower Street, aided by the Red Blood Demon, have wreaked havoc in Yue City for years. Thanks to your assistance, we were able to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"On behalf of the people of Yuecheng, who have had no one to turn to for help over the years, I would like to thank you all."

"Thank you!"

He raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Master Fang, you are too polite. We are also the people of Yuecheng and have been dissatisfied with the Flower Street for a long time. This time, we were able to eliminate the Flower Street thanks to your hard work."

"We should thank Master Fang!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"..."

Everyone nodded and cheered.

"Mr. Zhu."

Amidst the bustle, Shen Hu pulled Zhu Ju to a corner and whispered:
"Did you notice who wasn't here today?"

"Who?" Zhu Ju glanced at the whole audience, his eyes moving slightly:

"Wu family?"

"That's right." Shen Hu nodded:
"Yesterday I went to Miaotingfang and found some things. The Wu family is very likely colluding with the Red Blood Cult."

"No one from the Wu family came today, so it seems this is true."

How could Zhu Ju not understand Shen Hu's meaning? He couldn't help but take a deep breath, lowered his head and asked in a low voice:
"The Wu family has officials in the court, and they are classmates, colleagues, relatives, and other relatives. Can they really take him down?"

"Colluding with the Red Blood Cult is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan." Shen Hu grinned.
"If this is true, those people are probably trying to distance themselves from the Wu family and would never dare to interfere."

"Wu family..."

His voice trembled:
"But it has a complete set of Qi and Blood Martial Arts techniques!"

Zhu Ju looked up and saw Xiang Zhongyuan coming over not far away. Their eyes crossed, and then several figures left the scene silently.

The Wu family...

I'm afraid that many people have already targeted me!
