Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

The first morning of May.

As usual, after absorbing the purple energy of the morning sun, Zhao Xu prepared to practice Chinese martial arts.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the yard.

"Master Xu, Master Xu, Mr. Sha is gone!" Wang Zhong hurried in and informed Zhao Xu of Sha Huanjin's death.

When Zhao Xu first heard the news of his death, he was stunned.

Although he knew it would happen soon, he was still a little overwhelmed when he heard the news.

Zhao Xu was silent for a moment and asked, "When?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhong said anxiously: "According to Sha Xing's message, this morning, Sha Gang Leader felt that his time was running out, so he summoned Jin Meiniang and the three hall masters, passed down his will, and designated Jin Meiniang as the next gang leader."

"anything else?"

Wang Zhong looked a little strange, glanced at Zhao Xu and said:

"The leader of the Sha Gang also admitted on the spot that Jin Meiniang was his long-lost daughter. He married her into the Jinsha Gang just to protect her."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu, who had been solemn just now, laughed out loud.

"The three hall masters of the Jinsha Gang were severely tricked by this old man before he died."

Then he ordered Wang Zhong:

"Have the people below prepared. Once you see the signal tonight, immediately reinforce the Jinsha Gang."

"Notify the Nandu Chamber of Commerce and have them go with us to the Jinsha Gang to pay their respects."

"Jin Mei Niang and Sha Xing must also be prepared, the battle will begin tonight!"

Having said this, Zhao Xu paused, thought for a moment and continued:

"Send the news of Gang Leader Sha's death to my uncle!"

Seeing that Zhao Xu had finished speaking and did not give any further instructions, Wang Zhong bowed, turned around and left.

After Wang Zhong left, Zhao Xu looked up at the sky, lost in thought.

"I am like a mayfly in the universe, a grain of sand in the vast ocean. I lament the brevity of my life and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River."

Life is limited, and only by continuous breakthroughs in martial arts can one break the shackles of life and reach the immortal realm of immortality.

At this moment, Zhao Xu suddenly reflected on his behavior during this period.

I made some adjustments to my future plans.

"We can't delay on these matters any longer. After dealing with the Jinsha Gang, we must quickly retrieve the adventures in our memories and make up for ourselves."

Sha Huanjin's death sounded a wake-up call for Zhao Xu.

On the road of martial arts, one must be quick at every step, and there is no time to waste. The most urgent task is to gather all the skills and enter the first level.

Zhao Xu did not mourn for too long over Sha Huanjin's death. The dead are gone, and the living must continue.

However, this period of self-reflection seemed very timely and precious to Zhao Xu at this moment.

Didn't have to wait too long.

In just a quarter of an hour, Wang Zhong had everything ready.

Zhao Xu held the sword in his hand and looked at the twenty or so members who had accompanied him.

Seeing Zhao Xu looking at the people accompanying him, Wang Zhong immediately introduced:

"Master Xu, these twenty-odd people are the elite selected from the guards who came to support from all over the south."

"The lowest level of their cultivation is rank seven, and there are also several rank four masters among them."

After listening to Wang Zhong's introduction, Zhao Xu nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone, today's matter is quite risky."

"However, when the battle begins, I will be at the forefront. As long as I succeed, I will be rewarded with endless wealth and glory."

"We are willing to fight to the death." More than 20 people said in unison.

Seeing that everyone's emotions were aroused, Zhao Xu raised the sword in his hand and said loudly:

"Set off."

The group marched towards the Jinsha Gang's headquarters in a mighty procession, and there were few people on the streets along the way.

Looking down at Jingcheng today from a high altitude, the streets are empty and all ordinary people have been ordered by the government to stay at home.

Of course, it’s not that there is no one.

After Zhao Xu set off, groups of people with various banners soon emerged from the empty streets.

These are all businesses that have business dealings with the Jinsha Gang, headed by Wang’s and Nandu.

Now, Wang's Trading Company and Nandu Chamber of Commerce are heading to the Jinsha Gang to pay their respects at the same time.

These businesses, which follow the lead of these two, will naturally have to go out as well.

Wang's troops and those from Nandu soon reunited.

Along the way, more and more teams joined in from behind, and the crowd was approaching the Jinsha Gang.

Not far from the Jinsha Gang, on a high ground, the Zhuyi Guards, Liudaotang and some mysterious forces were all paying attention to the situation.

As time passed, Zhao Xu and his group finally arrived at the Jinsha Gang headquarters.

At this time, the headquarters was covered with white cloth, and Sha Huanjin's mourning hall was set up in the lobby of the headquarters.

Such a large group of people suddenly emerged on the empty street in front of the headquarters.

The gatekeeper disciple was startled and rushed in to report to the higher-ups in the gang.

Zhao Xu and his group did not enter the Jinsha Gang on their own, but waited outside the gate.

After a while, a group of people came out of the gate, led by four people who were none other than the three hall masters of the Jinsha Gang and the owner of the Jinsha Building, Jin Meiniang.

The three hall masters all looked unhappy at this time. Jin Meiniang's eyes were red, and she had obviously cried a lot.

There was a huge crowd of people outside, and the four of them were startled when they first saw them.

When they saw that the leaders were Wang's Trading Company and Nandu Chamber of Commerce, they quickly felt relieved.

However, the four of them were competing with each other and there was no one leading them, so no one came forward to greet them for a while.

Zhao Xu understood the current situation immediately and took the initiative to step forward and said:

"Everyone from the Jinsha Gang, unfortunately, the leader of the Sha Gang has passed away. Our Chamber of Commerce has been doing business with the Jinsha Gang for many years and has a deep friendship. Upon hearing the news, we came here to pay our respects. Please accept my condolences!"

When they heard Zhao Xu say "My condolences", the people following him all said "My condolences" in unison.

Seeing that everyone came to pay their respects, the three hall masters looked much better.

At this time, Jin Meiniang, the only relative of Gang Leader Sha, stepped forward and bowed.

"My father unfortunately passed away. I am so grateful to you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and pay your respects!"

Jin Meiniang's tears flowed as she spoke. Her tears made everyone feel distressed and they all started to comfort her.

After a while, Jin Meiniang's emotions finally stabilized.

She bowed to the three hall masters and said, "Please follow me and lead everyone to the mourning hall to pay respects."

Seeing this, the three hall masters dared not refuse and agreed immediately.

In this way, Zhao Xu and his party, led by four people, entered the Jinsha Gang in a mighty manner.

After arriving at the lobby, everyone burned incense and bowed in order.

At noon, everyone had a vegetarian meal at Jinsha Gang. By the time everyone had finished their condolence tour, it was already evening.

After the condolences were over, the scene suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere began to become solemn. Everyone knew that the big show was about to begin.

At this time, the three leaders of the Jinsha Gang knew very well that this group of people, in addition to expressing their condolences, also had other plans.

At this moment, what else can he plan? Of course, he would take on the position of gang leader.

Want to understand everything.

The three of them looked livid.

Obviously he was very angry.
