The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 310: Newly-appointed Jinshi Murong County Magistrate

"Cousin, play with me." A crisp voice sounded in his ears, causing a faint curve to appear on the corner of Murong Fu's mouth as he lay on the grass basking in the sun. The book covering his face was snatched away by the naughty little girl. On it was the boxing manual of the beautiful woman's boxing that Murong Fu had drawn himself.

This boxing style is now the signature style of the School of Quyi of Gusu College. Only a simplified version is taught to ordinary colleges, while the complete version is taught to outstanding disciples and in-house people. The real advanced version can only be learned by Murong's closest and most trusted people.

For example, Li Qingluo, the wife of the owner of Mantuo Villa, and her daughter Wang Yuyan. Next are the maids who have been raised since childhood, have extraordinary talents and are motivated, and are gradually getting into the state. Among them, Azhu, A Zi, and A Bi have already begun to show their potential, and are better than other girls in all aspects.

Murong Fu was quite optimistic about them and had spared no effort in training them from the very beginning. Many of his methods were so impressive that even Madam Murong and Madam Wang Li Qingluo were impressed, and they even considered entrusting their daughters to him for training.

Over the years, she lived in seclusion, but in Mantuo Villa, she was able to trade goods all over the world and get all the good things. Her husband, Wang Erlang, was also a wife-doting maniac who was capable and had a good temper. He sent strings of colorful and round Korean pearls to her, and three-foot-five-foot-high corals were decorated in her study, bedroom, and even the living room. There were too many other silks, satins, brocades, and delicacies to count, which really made her a real lady.

Wang Erlang has been in charge of the academy for many years, which inevitably improved his literary literacy. With Murong Fu as his think tank, he worked hard and gradually walked into Li Qingluo's heart. In addition, they are a legitimate couple, so they are bound to get along well with each other. Two years ago, they even had a son, and their relationship became even more harmonious.

There is no harm without comparison. Wang Erlang has a handsome appearance, extraordinary knowledge, and first-class martial arts. He takes care of herself and obeys her in every way. He also understands people's hearts. In addition, he is wealthy and respected. He has more than a hundred men under his command, and all of them are top-notch masters. What else is there for Li Qingluo to be dissatisfied with?

If I have to say something, it is that my husband's sister, Madam Murong, is too brilliant and overshadows her.

This is not to say that Madam Murong is more beautiful than her. Li Qingluo is still very confident about her appearance. It's just that Madam Murong's image as a strong woman is too deeply rooted in people's hearts. A widow like her, with a young son, not only supports the entire Murong family, but also builds a behemoth like Gusu Academy, which is famous throughout Jiangnan. Nowadays, there are hundreds of talents coming out every year, and they are hired by aristocratic families and even government offices.

During the past ten years, because they cultivated many talents for the imperial examinations and Murong Fu passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, Old Lady Murong was very lucky to receive the imperial decree and title. How could Li Qingluo not feel jealous, but deep down she admired her very much.

Ever since she gave birth to Wang's son, Madam Murong's attitude towards her improved greatly. She even provided her with a decoction worth ten thousand taels of silver, which raised her strength to the first-class level and made up for the loss caused by giving birth to a son.

Only then did Li Qingluo become more convinced that the reputation was not worthy of the family. The Gusu Murong family's background was definitely extraordinary, far more than what she had seen. You know, just what was revealed in her daily life had already surprised her. With a husband who was the dean of the academy, she also knew something about the inside story of Gusu Academy. There were hundreds of talents who were secretly recruited by them in the past ten years, and they were all elites. Where did they go in the end?

Except for a few who can still be seen in the academy, Taihu Lake, and Gusu City, the rest have all disappeared. I got the answer by chance from my drunk husband. They actually have a base overseas and have secretly immigrated 200,000 people from the Central Plains. They can basically be called a small foreign country.

As the relationship between Li Qingluo and the Murong family became more and more harmonious, she gained more and more benefits. This beauty boxing technique is different from the "Xiao Wuxiang Gong". Not only is it simple and easy to learn, it is also more beneficial for women's body shaping. The advanced version can also slightly improve the root bones. This is why she forced her precious daughter to learn the whole set.

She couldn't be more satisfied with Murong Fu. She was afraid that there would be no better son-in-law in the whole world. Besides, they grew up together. Why should she be the bad guy and separate them? However, the little girls under his command were also not ordinary people. If she couldn't make her precious daughter better, she was afraid that she would be suppressed.

This wasn't what she wanted to see, but she couldn't possibly harm them, and it was extremely difficult for her to do anything under Madam Murong's watch. Besides, she had watched these little girls grow up, so she had some feelings for them. Perhaps influenced by her environment, Li Qingluo's mentality had become increasingly peaceful.

During the past ten years, Duan Zhengchun had secretly come to Gusu City, but was blocked outside Taihu Lake time and time again. Murong Fu joined hands with the Eight Friends of Hangu, and used the art of Qimen Dunjia to transform the surrounding environment, but hid islands such as Yanziwu and Mantuo Villa. It would be difficult for people other than them to find them. Even if they found them, it would be extremely difficult to sneak in unless they were masters of this art.

Wang Yuyan had shown extraordinary talent since she was young. Her ability to remember everything she saw and apply it to other situations was unmatched. If she didn't really dislike the violence of martial arts, her future would be limitless. So Murong Fu discussed with Wang Erlang, Li Qingluo and others and changed his strategy to attract Wang Yuyan's interest in other ways, such as making her beautiful or maintaining eternal youth.

As expected, girls of all ages love beauty. Wang Yuyan is particularly fond of the Beauty Boxing. Later, she practiced her mother's "Little Wuxiang Gong" and studied diligently every day just to make herself more beautiful. In terms of martial arts, she prefers light skills and defensive moves, but has no killing moves.

Her cousin was always busy, with too much homework to do, but what she loved most was letting him fly her across the sky on his flying wings, facing the rising sun and setting sun, feeling the gentle breeze. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to make her happy for a long time. Her cousin was quite fond of martial arts, and to please him, she would accompany him to watch them. Her cousin was very good, and he always managed to explain some profound truths through martial arts. Wang Yuyan often listened to him and even became a little obsessed.

This time, my cousin took the imperial examination and passed it on his first try. However, due to some treachery at court, he was exiled to a small position as magistrate in the southwest, near the Dali Kingdom. It was a poor, mountainous, harsh, and full of unruly people, and I wondered if he could handle it. Most importantly, a term in office lasted three to five years. How could I possibly survive without seeing him for so long?

The little person squeezed his soft body into Murong Fu's arms, grabbed his front and said pitifully: "Cousin, please don't leave, I can't bear to leave you."

Murong Fu scratched her small, delicate nose and said with a smile, "Cousin, I can't bear to leave you either, but I'm in the martial arts world and can't help myself. There are some things I don't want to do, but I have to do them. But cousin, I promise you that I will come home at least once a year to spend a month with you. How about that?"

"Two months every year, no, at least three months!" The little girl asked for a huge amount of money, which made Murong Fu laugh. He didn't have to become an official in the court, but there were not many opportunities to manage a place legitimately. Even if he didn't use it himself, he could teach his subordinates and lay a good foundation for him to take charge of a place in the future.

That place was the one he had secretly instructed his own people to choose, guiding his political enemies. It was a truly remote and desolate place, close to the Dali Kingdom, but he had to visit it, perhaps even more than once. He couldn't miss any of the Wuliang Sword Sect, the Myriad Tribulation Valley, or the Tianlong Temple. He had to meet a few famous figures as well as the locals.

For example, the Dali Duan Emperor and the playboy Duan Zhengchun, the King of Zhennan, and the Tianlong Temple's Zen Master Kurong. Next are Wanjie Valley's Gan Baobao, Qin Hongmian and their daughters. If possible, I would also like to meet Dao Baifeng, Duan Yu and others.

When I counted all these things, I suddenly felt that I was really busy.

It's not that he doesn't want to go out earlier, but his mother is watching him very strictly. After he mastered the "Nine Yang Magic Art", he insisted that he would not let him go out until he mastered the "Fighting Stars Shifting", "Sanhe Finger" and "Dragon City Sword Technique". This delay lasted for five years. Fortunately, he has studied the "Tai Chi Magic Art" quite a bit, and his level is even higher than that of his mother, Madam Murong.

Now Murong Fu's martial arts skills are enough to protect himself when traveling in the martial arts world. Although he may not be as good as the three Xiaoyao elders, he is definitely not inferior to Xiao Feng and Ding Chunqiu. Xiao Feng is not the leader of the Beggars' Sect yet, but he will be soon. I heard recently that Wang Jiantong is in poor health and may not live long. I need to get up immediately. Maybe I can meet him and leave a good impression on the Beggars' Sect.

You have to know that during the ten years that he controlled Gusu City, he squeezed the living space of beggars severely. Abandoned babies within hundreds of miles were swept away by him. Most of the poor families had a livelihood, and few people were willing to beggars. In order to achieve political achievements, officials also actively cooperated with Gusu College to crack down on illegal activities, so many of them were promoted.

It can be said that Jinling City is a place of gilding that most of the low-level officials of the Song Dynasty yearn for, but they don’t know that once they arrive at this place, they will inevitably be controlled by the Gusu Murong family.

"I will fly with you for a while today. I will leave some homework for you before I leave. If you do well, I will accompany you longer every year. How about it?" Murong Fu had Wang Yuyan in his control. The latter nodded repeatedly to show that it was not a problem. She was very confident in her qualifications and resources.

Murong Fu took out the Flying Wings, but his mind flew to Dali Kingdom thousands of miles away. What would happen if he brought Azhu or A Zi back to Dali to meet Duan Zhengchun?

It's better to wait a little longer. The two little girls are still young and can be reformed in the future. If they are thrown out now, they may be out of his control, which will not be worth the loss. In his opinion, the friendship of the Dali Duan family may not be as valuable as the two girls themselves.
