Chapter 160 Going and Returning

Chapter 160 Going and Returning

Zhao Ya left.

In this night, his movements were as fast as an extremely light swallow, swift and silent.

After he left, three people appeared on the roof of a two-story building in the distance.

"I have to say, this guy's Qinggong is really good, isn't it, Junior Sister Gu?" the young scribe shook his folding fan and chuckled.

The woman said nothing.

She was born in the Mirror Moon Sect, one of the three sects in the capital, and was best at light kung fu.

But even she had to admit that Zhao Ya's Qinggong was really amazing.

"Have we stayed in this remote place for so many days just to observe this guy all day long?" the woman said, looking at the honest man.

The honest man didn't even raise his eyelids, he kept staring at the big tree in the distance and said calmly.

"If something happens to Junior Sister Gu, you can leave on her own. You don't have to stay with me in Yunxiao County."

The woman was furious for a moment.

She really thought about leaving on her own, but she was really unwilling to do so.

After all, she has never understood what Wang Tiancheng, the talented disciple of the Golden Sword Academy, wants to do if he stays in Yunxiao County.

Just to see how Wei Hongbin, a direct descendant of the Wei family, can suppress and divide the forces of warriors and control the overall situation?

Give me a break.

The time of these talented people is very precious. If there is no benefit, they won't even have the time to look at you one more time, so how can they waste their time here?

So he must have other purposes, but he doesn't know it yet.

And if we just leave like this, wouldn't we give up halfway, and even the previous efforts and waiting will be in vain?

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the woman's face.

"Senior Brother Wang is joking, what can happen to me? I told the sect elders before I left that I have to walk around the world this time to sharpen my temper, so I can go back anytime."

Wang Tiancheng was not moved at all.

As a member of the Golden Blade Academy and a warrior force belonging to the three sects, two courtyards and one villa in the capital, he knew the style of the Mirror Moon Sect, or in other words, the true disciple of the Mirror Moon Sect, Gu Chaoyue.

To put it simply, she is the ultimate egoist. She will try her best to exploit anything that is beneficial to herself.

The same goes for this visit to Yunxiao County.

Just to see if he could take advantage of this beast wave, Gu Chaoyue came all the way.

Now I am even more afraid that I will not take advantage of it, so I would rather waste time than leave.

Wang Tiancheng knew this very well, but he didn't say anything about it.

After all, she waited and waited, and it was destined to be in vain in the end.

What she wanted was not the cultivation resources she thought at all.

The young scribes on the side also noticed the awkwardness of the atmosphere and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Senior Brother Wang, what should we do? We should go back to the store now..."

Wang Tiancheng suddenly made a silence gesture, then pulled the two of them into the darkness, and quietly pointed at the big tree in the distance.

The young scribe and Gu Chaoyue looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough they saw a black shadow appearing on the tree again at some point.

It was Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya, who had gone and returned, was now standing on the canopy of the tree and looking around.

He pretended to leave just now, but in fact he was hiding in the dark to see if the person peeping in the dark would appear again.

But after waiting for a long time, no one was seen. Unwilling to give up, Zhao Ya simply showed up again and searched again.

The result is naturally unsuccessful.

"Looks like he's really gone." Zhao Ya muttered softly, then plunged into the darkness again, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

After he left, the young scribe hiding in the dark could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Damn, this kid..."

He was about to say that this kid is really cunning, but at this moment, Wang Tiancheng suddenly covered his mouth.

At the same time, Zhao Ya went back again, looked around carefully again, and confirmed that there was really no one in the darkness. Then he frowned and thought for a moment, then turned and left in a hurry.

After he left, Wang Tiancheng let go of his hand.

The young scribe was unable to complain and could only look in the direction Zhao Ya was leaving with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

How cautious is this guy? He went and came back twice in a row. If Wang Tiancheng hadn't been calm enough, he might have been discovered by him.

"Okay, he really left this time." Wang Tiancheng said.

"When I was in the academy, my master and uncle always praised me for being smart." The young scribe suddenly sighed with emotion.

"I've always thought so. It wasn't until I met you, Senior Brother Wang, that I realized what it means to have someone outside the world."

"I'm not as good as you in terms of talent, and I can't keep up with you in terms of qualifications, but I don't care too much. After all, the genius of the Golden Sword Academy is not just a joke. But what I never expected was that in this little Yunxiao County, a small Four Realm warrior, actually almost let me reveal my whereabouts."

Speaking of this, the young scribe looked ashamed.

"It seems that I underestimated the world's heroes before, and I am far from being as smart as I thought. After I return to the academy this time, I must practice in seclusion and never be arrogant or complacent again."

Looking at the serious young scribe, Wang Tiancheng suddenly smiled.

"Junior Brother Xu is serious. As the true successor of Wu Nian Academy, you are already excellent enough."

"No, it's still far behind. I have to work hard quickly. Otherwise, let alone Senior Brother Wang, I might not even be able to compare with Zhao Ya in a few years."

Xu Nianran said very seriously, feeling that his warrior's literary heart became more and more crystal clear.

This is also the practice method of their sect.

Seek insights from small daily things to enhance your martial arts cultivation.

Wang Tiancheng was also impressed when he heard this.

This Wu Nian Academy is worthy of being the sect with the longest history among the three sects, two courtyards and one villa in the capital. It does have some skills.

"Let's go back to the shop first." Wang Tiancheng said.

The three of them quietly disappeared into the darkness and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

At the same time, Zhao Ya had also returned to the martial arts hall and came to the back house.

Of course he wouldn't talk about what just happened.

At this time, Meng Shiwen, Miao Shaocheng, and Xu De were all there, but Shen Dao was not seen.

After Zhao Ya asked, he found out that this afternoon, Shi Qingqing's maid came to the martial arts hall to look for Shen Dao, and then he went out.

Zhao Ya didn't care either. Now Shi Qingqing has gradually faded out of the brothel, and his reputation as an oiran has gradually fallen silent.

After all, the replacement of brothel girls is very fast. If you don't show up for a month, no one may remember you.

And this is exactly what Shi Qingqing wants.

She was originally a poor woman who was a prostitute rather than a prostitute, but because she was sold into Zuihuafang since she was a child and needed to stay for a certain number of years before she could redeem herself, she had been putting off getting married to Shen Dao.

But it seems to be coming soon. In a few months, Shi Qingqing will be able to redeem herself as soon as she turns twenty.

You should be able to drink the second senior brother's wedding wine by then.

While thinking about the life events of his second senior brother, Zhao Ya came to the bed.

At this time, Lu Dingtai was still lying on the bed unconscious, but his breathing became much smoother.

Moreover, both her cheeks and the quilt covering her body were clean, which showed that Meng Shiwen changed them frequently.

Seeing Meng Shiwen's eyes that turned red from staying up late, Zhao Ya couldn't help but sigh.

Although Lu Dingtai has no children, his senior sister Meng Shiwen is closer to him than his biological daughter in a sense.

"Master, has there been any change in these days?" Zhao Ya asked.

"There hasn't been a big change, it's just that my breathing has become much calmer." Meng Shiwen thought seriously for a moment and then said.

Zhao Ya took Lu Dingtai's pulse again.

Although he has never studied medicine, Zhao Ya can still see some clues from a person's pulse with his strong perception.

Lu Dingtai's pulse was very slow, but quite strong. It was obvious that he was slowly recovering from his injuries, but he didn't know why he hadn't woken up yet.

"How is it?" Meng Shiwen asked with great concern.

Miao Shaocheng and Xu De also came closer.

Zhao Ya shook his head, "Master's pulse is quite strong. Apparently he has recovered a lot from his previous injuries, but for some unknown reason, he has not been able to wake up."

After hearing Zhao Ya's words, the three of them were a little silent.

Lu Dingtai's status in their minds is extremely important.

So the fact that he was unconscious has been weighing on their hearts like a huge stone.

After a while, Miao Shaocheng was the first to break the silence.

"Junior brother, have you gained anything from these days of hard training?"

Meng Shiwen and Xu De also turned their attention to Zhao Ya after hearing this.

yes.

Zhao Ya has been staying behind closed doors for the past few days. People have visited him several times, but they haven't even seen him in person, and they don't know how his cultivation is going.

Zhao Ya smiled when he heard this.

"It's quite a harvest. Otherwise, I'm just idle. How many times will you two senior brothers come with me to the courtyard?"

Miao Shaocheng and Xu De looked at each other, then nodded.

"Okay, let's join hands."

In the past few days, the two of them were either staying by the master's bedside or teaching the disciples how to practice martial arts. They didn't even leave the gate of the martial arts hall, so they were already a little bored.

Now Zhao Ya's proposal is exactly what they want.

The three of them got up and came to the courtyard.

Meng Shiwen stood on the steps and watched.

"Which of the two senior brothers will come first?" Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"I'll do it." Miao Shaocheng took a step forward and smiled at Zhao Ya.

"Junior brother, you have to be careful. I haven't been idle recently. Although my level is not as high as yours, I have some insights in boxing."

"Okay, then I'll ask Senior Brother Miao for advice." Zhao Ya said, cupping his fists.

Miao Shaocheng didn't talk nonsense.

He also knew that in terms of martial arts realm, he could not compare to Zhao Ya.

Fortunately, this is just a simple competition and not serious, so we can still fight.

He jumped up and rushed towards Zhao Ya. He opened his posture in the air and hit Zhao Ya directly in the face with a King Kong Kaishan strike.

This punch was very powerful and powerful.

Miao Shaocheng felt proud.

As he said, he has not been idle during this period. He practices the Vajra Boxing all day long and has indeed improved in the boxing technique.

Especially with this punch, Miao Shaocheng felt that he was a bit as hot as his master Lu Dingtai.

No matter how advanced Zhao Ya is in martial arts, he has only been practicing the King Kong Fist for a short time, and his understanding of the boxing technique is definitely not as deep as his own.

Facing his own punch, he had no choice but to give in.

But this thought just crossed his mind when Miao Shaocheng suddenly heard Zhao Ya say something.

"Senior brother, I'm offended."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ya took a step forward, advanced instead of retreating, and punched him.

Although he restrained his strength and only used less than 30% of his strength, Miao Shaocheng felt as if he had been hit head-on by a crazy elephant.

The whole person was blasted out by Zhao Ya before he even landed in mid-air.

Fortunately, Zhao Ya restrained his strength, so Miao Shaocheng was not injured. He just staggered when he landed, and then looked at Zhao Ya with a complicated face.

"this……."

"Senior brother, I accept the concession." Zhao Ya cupped his fists.

Miao Shaocheng sighed quietly.

"I thought I was pretty good at Donkey Kong punching, but compared to you, it's like I'm just getting started."

"Senior brother, you're welcome. Your King Kong Fist also has merits. It's just that it's not up to speed and strength because it's not at a high level."

Miao Shaocheng smiled bitterly, "Of course I know this, but the realm can't be broken through overnight, alas!"

Then he looked at Xu De, "It's your turn!"

Unexpectedly, Xu De waved his hands repeatedly, "Forget it, I know myself, so I won't humiliate myself."

Miao Shaocheng couldn't help but get furious when he heard this, "What do you mean? Co-authoring means that I don't have self-awareness?"

"Hey, Senior Brother Miao, if you insist on thinking that way, then there's nothing I can do about it."

"How dare you, Xu De, disrespect your teacher!" Miao Shaocheng was furious and rushed forward to hit him.

Xu De smiled and dodged.

The two were fighting together.

Zhao Ya looked on with a smile.

The reason why he wanted to fight Miao Shaocheng and Xu De was certainly not to defeat them to satisfy his desire to win.

In this way, he was showing Meng Shiwen and Miao Shaocheng his achievements during this period.

After all, for the sake of their own cultivation, all the fellow apprentices gave up their dried meat.

If I don't give a satisfactory explanation, I can't explain it anyway.

That is to say, while Zhao Ya and Miao Shaocheng were sparring in the martial arts hall, Sun Yingkui was facing a crisis in the government office on Lion Street.

This is the second hall of the government office. It used to be a place where important prisoners were interrogated.

At this moment, it was changed into a meeting place for Wei Hongbin and his generals.

At this moment, Wei Hongbin was sitting on the high chair in the middle, his face as sinking as water, and he said nothing.

Although Wei Hongbin is nearly forty this year, he looks as if he is in his mid-twenties because of his long-term pampering.

But the superior temperament cultivated by being in a high position for a long time makes him not angry but confident.

So even though he was just sitting there, no one in the lobby dared to talk casually.

All the lieutenants and captains turned their attention to Sun Yingkui, who was standing in the hall.

There was sympathy, regret, and of course schadenfreude in these glances.

For example, this is the case with Lin Shiguo, who sits in the first place behind Wei Hongbin.

As Wei Hongbin's first lieutenant, he had trouble dealing with Sun Yingkui, who ranked first among the captains.

This is mainly due to the huge identity gap between the two.

Lin Shiguo came from a wealthy family in the capital. Although it was not as prominent as the Wei family, the Lin family could be regarded as an upper-middle class family.

Sun Yingkui, on the other hand, came from an out-and-out grassroots background, and relied solely on his own ability to reach the position of captain step by step.

Therefore, Lin Shiguo often mocked Sun Yingkui as a mud-legged person.

Sun Yingkui never refuted this.

In fact, he couldn't refute it.

After all, among the Yan cavalry, those in high positions are basically children of aristocratic families. He is the only one with a few civilians. The difference cannot be measured in miles, so even if they want to resist, they don't have the ability.

But he didn't want to provoke Lin Shiguo, but Lin Shiguo didn't intend to let him go.

Especially after entering the city recently, the two had huge differences in philosophy.

Lin Shiguo believed that Sun Yingkui was too weak, especially too indulgent towards these warriors.

Sun Yingkui believed that Lin Shiguo allowed his subordinates to bully men and women and extort shops, which was too ugly and not conducive to the stability of the city.

The conflict between the two deepened and finally broke out today.

"What? You tried so hard to convince the commander to write you an invitation, but they ignored you and didn't even come. Is this the turning point you said?" Lin Shiguo tried his best to ridicule.

Sun Yingkui could only remain silent because he really had nothing to say.

It's something you proposed, but it's not done yet, so it's normal for someone to point your nose in and scold you.

But then, Lin Shiguo's words became more and more unpleasant.

"Let me tell you, you came up with this idea with ulterior motives. In the name of the commander-in-chief, you pretended to be thinking about the people in the city, but in fact you wanted to win people's hearts and hide evil intentions. Am I right?" Lin Shiguo sneered.

Now Sun Yingkui had to speak, because if he admitted this matter, he would be the captain for the rest of his life.

He cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Lin, I admit that I did not do a good job in this matter, but if you say that I bought people's hearts or even harbored evil intentions, I dare not admit this crime."

"Do you still want to quibble at this time? You keep saying that you can't anger these warriors. I think you are just afraid of fighting and death." Lin Shiguo did not give Sun Yingkui any chance to breathe, and every word was fatal.

Sun Yingkui took a long breath and cupped his hands at Wei Hongbin, who was sitting on the chair without saying a word.

"My lord, I have followed you for many years and fought countless battles. Have you ever been afraid of death?"
