Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 143 Wu Zhi's View of Jianghu (Sixth update, please give me a monthly ticket)
Sun Yanwan was also very curious about Wu Zhi. After the two of them sat down and Wu Zhi ordered some food and drinks, Sun Yanwan asked straight to the point, "Brother Wu Zhi, you are such a martial artist, how come you ended up running a small shop in Chongyang City?"

Wu Zhi laughed and asked, "How come you're so young and yet you're wandering around the martial arts world and being hunted by others?"

Sun Yanwan complained bitterly, saying, "I'm a Taoist priest, and I've been ordered to deliver a letter to an elder's family. How can you be so young and already like to travel the world?"

"The Hu family wanted to find out someone's whereabouts from me. I said I didn't know, but they refused to believe me and followed me all the way. I have never had any grudge against them!"

Wu Zhi had already obtained the confession, and the situation he knew was roughly the same as what Sun Yanwan said. He immediately trusted him a little more and said with a smile, "I have lived here since I was a child, and my father is also a constable."

"When I was a kid, I always saw him in a hurry, always busy with things to do."

"A few times a month, people would come to my house with gifts and kowtow to him in gratitude."

"My father absolutely refused to accept gifts, but I knew he would be especially happy every time someone came to express their gratitude. After seeing them off, he would pat me on the head and say, 'As the ancients said, it's a good place to cultivate within the Six Gates.' I may have done something a little more than was right, but for them, it was a family's joy and sorrow."

"Later, I followed in my father's footsteps and became a constable. Although most of the tasks I handled were minor, I was still very happy."

Sun Yanwan was deeply moved by what he heard. He raised his glass and said, "Brother Wu Zhi, if you have any difficulties in the future, please send someone to Taiyi Temple to deliver a letter."

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "What kind of trouble could I possibly encounter in Chongyang City? But thank you very much, brother. If there is anything I can't solve, I will definitely ask for your help."

Wu Zhi was very interested in what was happening in the martial arts world, but he really had no channels to ask.

He casually asked about the affairs of the martial arts world, and Sun Yanwan told him everything he knew. However, he was not very familiar with the martial arts world, and only talked about what he knew, which inevitably led Wu Zhi astray.

Everyone is proficient in the art of poisoning, and one has to be extremely careful when drinking water and eating. He even took out a packet of poison and showed it to Wu Zhi as evidence!
As long as you travel the world, you must be extra careful, because there are beautiful female knights and young ladies from wealthy families everywhere. If you are not careful, they will stick to you and you can't drive them away.

Yes, some ugly ones are also posted...

The famous young masters in the martial arts world often marry more than ten or twelve wives at a time, and they also used someone as an example.

Wu Zhi thought, "This is such an outrageous thing, I must find out about it." Although Brother Yan Wan is not a person who brags, this matter is too unbelievable.

Later, Wu Zhi really sent someone to Yongzhou City. When he learned about Nian Xizhao's affairs, his view of the martial arts world completely collapsed, and he never corrected it for the rest of his life.

He also secretly told Wu Zhi that the Hu family would sooner or later retaliate when they learned that he had captured Hu Fengge, and suggested that he quickly force the Hu family to reveal their martial arts and study how to crack them.

Wu Zhi was completely stunned. The martial arts world that Sun Yanwan described was bizarre and had nothing in common with the martial arts world he had imagined.

This meal was a great time for both host and guest.

After Sun Yanwan had eaten and drunk his fill, he returned to the inn and took Lao Qingshan with him.

Wu Zhi returned to the government office and couldn't help but find her master and asked, "Master, I captured Hu Fengge, and you Hu..."

“Well, will the Hu family retaliate?
The old yamen runner laughed and said, "How could I not take revenge? In the underworld, it is common for entire families to be wiped out over a disagreement. What's more, you actually caught a guy named Hu?" Wu Zhi immediately believed what Sun Yanwan said.

Sun Yanwan had no trouble on the journey to the capital this time.

After traveling through time, he didn't make many friends. With the eldest brother, they were not friends, but brothers. With Sun Lingdie and Namco, they were not friends, but... family.

Well, since we are real relatives, we have to call her aunt.

As for Nian Xizhao and the like, he felt that he had taken Shi Si back to Taiyi Temple, and their friendship was completely over.

Therefore, he attached great importance to this friendship. Whenever he went to a place, he would buy some local specialties. When he passed by a place where there was a branch of the Tianma Gang, he would send someone to deliver the accumulated specialties to Wu Zhi.

After delivering gifts seven or eight times along the way, they passed the Donghai Pass and were about to arrive in Luojing.

This was Sun Yanwan's second visit to the capital. Fearing that he would encounter Yang Diao'er, his destined enemy, again, he did not enter Luojing but went directly to "Luo County" to find the escort leader entrusted by Monk Kongchan.

This escort leader was born in Shaochan Temple, and was a lay disciple with the surname Zhi. People in the martial arts world called him Zhi Lingqi, the Nine-Lived Cat!
He learned some martial arts, took over the ancestral escort agency, and spent his daily life in Luojing.

After all, only an escort agency in Luojing can generate business, while an escort agency in Luoxian will only lead to bankruptcy.

He was not often at home, but as his master had entrusted him with the task and Monk Kongchan had personally instructed him, Zhi Lingqi did not dare to neglect the task and left a message for his family.

When Sun Yanwan brought Lao Qingshan to the door, Zhi Lingqi's wife hurriedly brought her family out to greet them.

This wife was also the daughter of a martial arts family, with a bold and generous nature. Knowing that Sun Yanwan came from an extraordinary background, she smiled from afar and said, "Master Sun is finally here."

"That bastard cat at home told me to clean up the yard early and prepare some things, but when I haven't seen him for a long time, I thought he thought Los Angeles County was too crowded and not suitable for quiet study!"

Sun Yanwan smiled and said, "My master asked me to work harder before coming out, so I was delayed for some time."

Mrs. Zhi was followed by five or six young people. The oldest was a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked chubby and must have been very cute when she was a child. The other children were also strong and sturdy. It was obvious that they were from a military family and had a good innate foundation.

Mrs. Zhi asked several children to come and pay their respects to Sun Yanwan, and quickly arranged a banquet.

Seeing that only Mrs. Zhi and the children were at home, Sun Yanwan politely declined the banquet and moved into the courtyard arranged by the Zhi family.

The Nine-Lived Cat Zhi Lingqi was able to open an escort agency in the capital because his family was quite wealthy. Luo County was the lower limit of Luojing, and purchasing a house was cheaper than in Luojing, so the Zhi family's house was very large. The yard arranged for Sun Yanwan was originally a Buddhist temple. Because it was next to the Zhi family's old house, Zhi Lingqi paid a sum of money and let the monks choose another place to build a larger temple. They bought this Buddhist temple and used it as their family temple.

Although he had never become a monk, he had learned martial arts in Shaochan Temple, so his family members often had to worship Buddha. Going to temples outside was not as convenient as having a temple at home. Usually, this family temple was looked after by several elders in the clan, and it was kept clean and quiet.

After Sun Yanwan brought Lao Qingshan in, she was very satisfied and once again declined the maids and servants arranged by Madam Zhi, saying that she wanted to study and didn't like to be disturbed. She only needed some food delivered to her every day.

The next day, the teacher arranged for him by Monk Kongchan came to visit!
