Chapter 72 He wants to climb to the top! (Thanks to Yuanmo Say, Southern and Northern Dynasties 2)

"Congratulations, sir, your power has greatly increased."

Jade-colored tea leaves fell into the purple clay teapot, sparks flew up from the clay stove next to it, and mist rose into the air, forming a thin layer of fog.

Zhang Yu picked up the iron kettle for boiling water and gently poured it into the purple clay teapot.

The tea leaves stretch out freely, revealing a charming posture, and after being baptized by wind, frost, ice and snow, they achieve the reputation of Yunwu Fairy Tea.

"Practicing Qigong is like brewing tea. You can't be impatient. You need to lay a solid foundation so that the aftertaste will last for a long time."

Zhao Xia sat on the rattan chair, feeling a little reserved.

She thought of Cheng Huan's demeanor, and couldn't help but slightly close her slender legs under her skirt and put her hands on her waist, but she felt that this was too deliberate, so she returned to her original position before the man in black robe turned around.

"Your Excellency's Dan Jin is perfect. When he first entered the Armor Breaking Stage, he was able to break five bamboos with the sound of the flute. This kind of talent is truly extraordinary and cannot be matched by ordinary people."

Zhang Yu handed her a cup of tea and said, "Everyone has his own destiny in the path of martial arts. The few words I just said are just some of my insights from this breakthrough."

"The Blood Evil Sutra you practiced is a first-rate internal skill, very unique, so don't underestimate yourself. But if you kill too much, you may hurt yourself, so you need to be careful."

"Thank you for your teachings, sir."

Zhao Xia held the teacup and took a sip of the Yunwu Fairy Tea, leaving a faint red lip print on the rim of the celadon cup.

She sensed some concern in Zhang Yu's words, and felt the warmth in her hands, which made her feel even happier.
"I should thank you, too. This time I am in seclusion, thanks to you for waiting here."

Zhao Xia blurted out: "I do..."

"Ok?"

"I mean, your Excellency is responsible for the safety of the mountain stronghold, and it is my duty to protect you while you are in seclusion. In the battle of Yunwu Mountain, Longlin was defeated miserably, and I am afraid that the old thief Lin Kun will send assassins to harm you."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "The Dragon Scale Society has been badly hurt. Lin Kun's forces have retreated to Pingyang Prefecture, and are nothing more than dead bones in a grave. It will be a piece of cake to destroy the Dragon Scale Society."

"The only thing to worry about is that the masters of Songshan Sect will intervene afterwards. I heard that Zhong Zhen is engaged to Lin Kun's daughter. He is a well-known martial arts master and I'm afraid he won't stand idly by."

Zhao Xia said, "There are more than a thousand brothers in Qingfeng Village, all equipped with swords and guns. Zhong Zhen's strength alone is nothing to worry about."

Human power is limited, and the internal and physical strength of martial artists are also limited.

Even a great master with endless energy would not dare to confront the imperial army head-on.

When Taizu launched a northern expedition against the former capital of Dadu, the former Yuan emperor went hunting in the grasslands, and all the civil and military officials in the court either fled or surrendered.

Only Li Baobao, the King of Zhongxiang and the grand master of the Yuan court at that time, was guarding the city gate. He defeated 600 Ming cavalrymen with his halberd. After his energy was cut off, he died from the crossbow and firearms.

Although he was the greatest grandmaster in the world, the damage he brought to the Ming army was not as great as that in a medium-sized encounter.

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Qingfeng Village is still in its infancy. Even if we want to deal with Zhong Zhen, we won't risk breaking his bones."

"What does your Excellency mean?"

"Take ten jars of Yunwu Xian Tea and eight thousand taels of silver from the storehouse, and pick a reliable person to deliver them to Pingding City and hand them over to Qi Queqiao Xiangzhu. He and I are old friends, and if the Songshan Sect intervenes in Pingyang City, we will have to ask him for help."

"Don't you need to prepare a gift for Master Tong?"

"I will write two letters and ask Master Qi Xiang to pass them along with the gifts to Master Tong."

With Young Master Tong San by his side, Zhang Yu still felt uneasy even though he was far away from Pingding Prefecture.

If he had the chance, he really wouldn't mind getting rid of this wolf cub that bites people on sight, but he had to do it cleanly, otherwise he would be asking for trouble.

Qi Queqiao has rich experience in fighting with Tong San. The people in Qingfeng Village do not know the intricate situation within the Divine Cult, so it is safer for them to entrust matters to Qi Queqiao.

"Liao Quan is a meticulous person. He was the one who went to Fenglei Hall to deliver the letter last time. Do you want him to go this time?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I think it's okay."

He added, "I will go down the mountain tomorrow. You select thirty good fighters and follow me to Pingyang Prefecture." Zhao Xia said expectantly, "I will go with you, sir."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "We are going to Pingyang City to completely destroy the Dragon Scale Society. The three leaders of Qingfeng Village will take charge of many affairs. The new members, such as 'Poisonous Snake Prince' Chang'an and 'Poison Doctor' Meng Qiu, need further observation."

In order to improve his martial arts, Zhang Yu often practiced in seclusion in a bamboo building, but he was still well aware of all the affairs of the mountain village.

Zhao Xia was also a little worried. In the process of suppressing the Shennong Gang, many people came to join them. How to use these people was also a difficult problem that Qingfeng Village had to face in the process of its development and growth.

She said, "Neither of them is an ordinary person. It would be a pity to discard them, but it would be questionable to use them."

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "They are all from the Shennong Gang. In my opinion, Meng Qiu is obsessed with studying medicine and poison. We can build a medicine house for him in the camp at the foot of the mountain for him to live in. Chang An is unstable, so let him assist Master Chen in handling the affairs of Jingu Lake for the time being. We will see the results."

Zhao Xia said quickly: "Okay! I'll do as you say."

Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "Zhaizhu Zhao, you can't just follow what the adults say. One day, you will have to stand on your own. Whether Qingfeng Village can prosper or not depends on you!"

Zhao Xia was stunned. She was silent for a moment, then asked with some melancholy, "Sir, will you leave Qingfeng Village?"

"I was originally the leader of the banner sent by the Divine Cult to Pingyang, and my mission was to destroy the Dragon Scale Society. After the mission is accomplished, I should be assigned to another position in the hall. You don't want me to be the leader of the banner for my whole life without getting promoted, do you?"

Zhang Yu said jokingly.

Zhao Xia had no smile on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what about Qingfeng Village..."

Zhang Yu said seriously: "Qingfeng Village is the foundation I founded. No matter where I go, this place is my last resort. You are all my brothers."

Zhao Xia smiled and said, "Then I will guard this retreat for you, sir."

There are more than a thousand soldiers in Qingfeng Village, led by Liu Dachui and Fan Zhutian, who train every day.

The camp at the foot of Yunwu Mountain has gathered five to six hundred refugee tenants and is currently managed by Cheng Huan and Chen Wu. They are responsible for operating the tea gardens and medicinal gardens around Yunwu Mountain that they took over from the Huang family. This is considered a major source of income for Qingfeng Village.

As for the fields and medicinal gardens in Jingu Lake, the financial advisor Chen Xiu Lun was in the process of renegotiating the rent with the tenants.

The three walls of Qingfengzhai are still under construction.

The blacksmith's workshop is being prepared.

The village rules and military discipline were gradually improved.

Everything is going on in full swing.

When Zhao Xia left, the archers in the forest had already withdrawn.

Zhang Yu stood alone in front of the window of the bamboo building, holding up the teacup, and tasting the Yunwu Fairy Tea, which was said to be worth as much as gold.

In less than a year, he was promoted from deputy leader of the Sun Moon Sect to leader, became a master of armor-piercing mirrors, and also owned the Qingfeng Village.

Logically speaking, the speed was not slow, but he still felt a sense of urgency.

The Five Guardians of Songshan and Zhong Zhen, the Nine-Curved Swordsman, are third-rate guys who can hardly leave more than a few lines of ink in the book. Zhao Xia needs to consider mobilizing the entire village to fight against them, not to mention masters like Fei Bin and Lu Bai.

Pingyang Lake is, after all, just a small pond, where slightly ferocious black fish, loaches and turtles can reign supreme.

Only when you can leave a name in the martial arts world can you truly be said to have a place in this world.

He intended to build Yunwu Mountain into a castle, into a tortoise shell.

Soon after, the conflict between the two major camps in the martial arts world intensified, setting off countless grudges and killings. A place that is not affected by the bloody storms of the martial arts world should be able to attract many people to join it.

Everyone knows that when the blood is flooding, standing on a high place will give you a greater chance of survival and more options.

So he had to climb higher step by step until he reached the top.

　Thanks to the votes and encouragement from the Southern and Northern Dynasties 2. I have received them all and it warms my heart. Thanks to Yuan Mo for the reward. I am sorry for the expense and feel ashamed to receive it. Thank you. This chapter is not an extra chapter. I updated five chapters yesterday and emptied my draft box. I will make up for it later.
