Chapter 368 Take power!

In front of the embroidered couch.

The pair of brocade black-patterned boots had toes facing inward.

"Ok?"

When Mu Minmin woke up, what she saw was a strange room.

"where am I……"

I seldom drink alcohol normally, but I got myself drunk on purpose yesterday, both to relieve my depression and to complete the task assigned by Shangguan Yun by getting drunk. It's just like... letting the dog take a bite.

"Zhang Yu!"

There was no one in the room. Mu Minmin found that she had put on a new underwear, but it was the wrong size. She didn't feel it when she was lying down, but it was so tight that she couldn't breathe after sitting up. She couldn't remember anything about what happened after she got drunk, and she didn't know how she was tortured.

A girl from the underworld, she is not fussy about trivial matters. She considers herself half male and would not seek death for losing her virginity!
Although Mu Minmin had never experienced sex, she had been through a lot of fighting in the martial arts world, and had been through the rain of swords and arrows. Could the pain of that be worth being hit by an arrow or a knife? She didn't believe it.

"What Ziwei Sword Immortal? Birds of a feather!"

Mu Minmin sneered, put on her boots, and slowly stood up. She saw that her robe was neatly folded on the bedside, and her body... seemed to be normal. She felt a little confused. She actually didn't know what it felt like to have experienced that kind of thing.
"Sister is awake?"

While she was daydreaming, she suddenly saw a woman in a long dress walking towards her from outside the room. She had a dignified posture, and her eyes were full of tenderness, as gentle as smoke and dust. Although she was not as beautiful as herself, she was also a beauty that could make men very excited.

"you are?"

"The incense master of the North Garden of the Dharma Protector Hall, Liu Ruyan."

"Oh!"

Mu Minmin was a little surprised. She thought it was Zhang Yuyang's concubine, Liu Ruyan. She had vaguely heard that the only women in the high-level positions of the Sun Moon Divine Sect's headquarters were Saint Aunt and Sang Sanniang. Among the middle-level incense masters, except for the canaries raised by the hall masters and elders, female incense masters were still a rarity.

Liu Ruyan put the bowl on the table and said with concern: "Hangovers are harmful to the body. We can't compete with men. Time flies, so we should preserve our youth. Sister, don't stand. Sit down and drink this bowl of hangover soup while it's hot."

Mu Minmin put on her outer robe and sat down at the table.

"Thank you, Master Liu. Where is Master Zhang?"

"Master Zhang, he left you in my care last night."

"gone?"

Mu Minmin was a little surprised and looked down at the underwear she had changed.

"This dress?"

"This is mine. I couldn't find it at the moment. Will it fit?"

Mu Minmin looked at Liu Ruyan. She was kindhearted and couldn't bear to hurt her, so she nodded and said, "It fits me well. Thank you, Sister Liu."

"You're welcome."

Liu Ruyan looked at the pair of jade melons and envied them secretly. When she changed her underwear, she secretly got a glimpse of Lushan's true appearance. The amazing appearance at this time was the result of forced suppression. She felt sorry for herself in the mirror, and it was not a small thing, but everything could not escape the word "comparison".

"No wonder Master Zhang took her back to Beiyuan."

After the two talked for a while, Liu Ruyan told her to rest assured, and she took the empty bowl and left the room. She also became busy, with many things to do. It was impossible for her to be like before, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days, and leaving at the report every day. After getting the new job, she had no time to take care of the riverside orphanage.

Zhang Yu became the leader of the Dharma Protectorate. All the original old brothers from Beiyuan were given important positions. It was only a matter of time before Di Baiying's old subordinates were replaced. Personnel changes had already begun. Power was like flesh on a person's body. It was easy to grow on it, but if you wanted to cut it off, you had to bleed.

"He didn't touch me?"

After Mu Minmin finished drinking the hot soup, the remaining alcohol dissipated and she felt much better. She sat at the table in a daze for a long time. Then she stood up, pushed the door open and walked out. She walked through a corridor and saw the main hall and front yard of the Blood Crane Blood Crane Garden. People were coming and going, including many important figures from the former Dharma Protector Hall who had come to Beiyuan to pledge their loyalty.

The name of Ziwei Sword Immortal is well-known in the martial arts world. He defeated Bao Dachu with the Five Swordsmen Fight, which also established a foothold in the Divine Cult. He also has the support of Miss Ren behind him. Now that Di Baiying is dead, no one dares to disobey him, at least on the surface.

Zhang Yu sat on a wooden box, looking at the big maple trees outside the yard, and recalled the first time he met Di Baiying. At that time, he had just been transferred back to the headquarters of Heimu Cliff from Guanzhong. In his heart, he still respected Di Baiying's martial arts and strategies. The reasons for their breakup included Qu Yang's rebellion and Shenggu's conspiracy, but in the final analysis, no one was willing to be inferior to others.

"It's a martial arts world. It's inevitable that you kill me and I kill you!"

The woman had long hair like a waterfall, a waist so thin that it could be grasped, and a stern expression, like an untamable horse.

"You wanted to avenge Di Baiying, that's right. The assassination attempt failed because you were not as skilled as him. For Wen Mengjiu's sake, I will only punish you slightly. If it happens again, you will see your brains spurt out!"

"Pfft!"

Zhang Yu released her acupuncture points. Xie Xiaoman staggered two steps and collapsed on the ground. She had been standing for a day and two nights, but even as a martial artist, she could not resist. Her meridians were blocked, and her qi and blood were coagulated. She suffered a lot.

"You go."

Zhang Yu stood up slowly. He didn't have time to bother with her.

Hatred flashed in Xie Xiaoman's eyes. Looking at Zhang Yu's back, she felt a huge sense of powerlessness in her heart.

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell others the truth about my adoptive father's death?"

Zhang Yu stopped and said with a smile: "Do you think anyone cares?"

The struggle within the Sun and Moon Sect has reached a fever pitch.

On the Black Wood Cliff, Yang Lianting and the fake leader were doing evil things, and people were surrendering to Ren Yingying every day. Seeing the situation reverse, the four major halls, Fenglei, Qinglong, Baihu and Feifeng, also sent people to contact them.

Ren Yingying can be said to have two-thirds of the world.

Yang Lianting could hardly protect himself. Under the relentless pressure, he lost the city and territory. He had no power to resist and could only hide in the backyard and tremble in fear.

I heard that he issued an order yesterday to recruit 200 disciples from each of the six major halls to strengthen the palace guards. It was obvious that he was frightened and did not care how many of the Saint Lady's people would be among these guards.

"Master Zhang."

When Mu Minmin saw Zhang Yu was about to go out, she hurriedly followed him.

Liu Ruyan came out of the lobby and saw this scene, and sighed softly.

"Master Zhang is young and promising, handsome, and has high martial arts skills. He is undoubtedly the best choice as a lover. No wonder he can attract so many women, who stick to him like moths to a flame. But they don't know that he is warm on the outside but cold on the inside, and his methods are cruel..."

She looked at Xie Xiaoman, who was struggling to get up from the ground and dragging her tired body towards the outside of Beiyuan.

In July, the maple leaves are as red as fire, and the forest paths have quiet and beautiful scenery. Beiyuan is only a few miles away from the headquarters of the Dharma Protector Hall.

"Master Mu Xiang is sober?"

Zhang Yu glanced at her and continued walking forward.

"What Qin Weibang said was right. You don't have to force yourself to drink as much as you can. You got yourself drunk yesterday. Did you forget how much you could drink, or did you do it on purpose?"

Mu Minmin followed behind, looked at Zhang Yu's back, then lowered her head to look at her chest.

"Don't all men like women to get drunk so that you can... do whatever you want?"

Seeing Mu Minmin's bold words, Zhang Yu chuckled, "You were so drunk last night, reeking of alcohol, talking nonsense, crying and laughing, I couldn't find a place to attack you."

"Huh, what did I say?"

"You said... you cursed Shangguan Yun, saying that he was not a good person, a hypocrite, and unworthy of the title of Eagle Knight!"

Mu Minmin was slightly shocked. Shangguan Yun was in a high position of power in the sect and was also her direct superior. If she got drunk in Qianhonglou, these words would definitely spread to Baihu Hall, which would be disastrous.

"Master Zhang, you won't cheat me, will you?"

"It's not the Eagle Knight, it's the Hanging Knight. I can't have made this up, can I?"

Mu Minmin had a sad face, this was what she had complained about in private.

"I…what else did I say."

"Nothing else."

Zhang Yu smiled and turned back, his eyes casually sweeping to the area below her neck and above her abdomen.

"Master Mu Xiang, you insulted your superior in public. You can't go back to the White Tiger Hall. Stay in the Dharma Protector Hall. You've seen that the old is replaced by the new, and it's a time to hire new people. Your martial arts are pretty good. In a few years, it will be natural for you to be promoted to an elder."

"What did you want me to do?"

"Be my personal bodyguard."

"Master Zhang, are you impressed by my martial arts?"

Zhang Yu looked at her and smiled, "Martial arts is one thing, and pleasing to the eyes is another."

Mu Minmin looked down and saw that underwear was most important in terms of size. It was still too small for Liu Ruyan, so she quickly took a deep breath and pulled in her stomach to make the mark less obvious.

"Master Zhang is quite frank."

"Have you thought about it?" "I'll go back to Pingding City and give you an answer."

Zhang Yu nodded and didn't force it.

"Farewell!"

Mu Minmin followed the path and left Fenglinpo.

Zhang Yuze came to the headquarters of the Dharma Protector Hall.

"Greetings to the Lord Hall Master!"

The sixteen disciples in front of the gate bowed to Zhang Yu when they saw him.

"No gift!"

Zhang Yu chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and walked through the door.

Unlike the seven or eight houses in the North Garden of the Blood Crane, the headquarters of the Dharma Protector Hall is considered the main temple of the Black Wood Cliff. Apart from the Chengde Hall, it is the most magnificent building complex. There are one hundred or eighty houses, courtyards and pavilions with different functions, connected by winding corridors. In addition to martial arts masters, it also employs a large number of civil servants, craftsmen, pharmacists, and eccentrics.

“Enforce the law like a mountain!”

Zhang Yu looked at the screen wall and saw four large characters written in a flamboyant style. He thought to himself that if he wanted to understand this Dharma Protector Hall that Di Baiying had spent nearly twenty years of hard work on building from beginning to end, it would take at least half a month.

"It seems that I have to live here for the time being."

Knowing that the new hall master was coming, more and more people gathered in the front courtyard. Most of them were nervous. A new emperor appoints new ministers, and they didn't know how Zhang Yu would deal with them, the old hall master's former subordinates.

"Greetings, Master."

……

Led by the scholar in white, everyone knelt down.

Zhang Yu walked through the kneeling crowd on both sides, stood on the steps in front of the lobby, and looked down.

"Everyone, please get up."

Hearing this, everyone stood up and looked at the unrealistically young face.

"Everyone, turn around!"

They were a little hesitant, wondering if the new hall master was going to attack from behind and kill everyone present. But since things had come to this point, they had no choice but to do as they were told.

"What did you see?"

Zhang Yu asked loudly.

"It's the main gate. Could it be that Master Zhang wants us all to get out?"

"It's the wall. Does he want us to bang our heads against it and kill ourselves so that he won't have to do it himself?"

"It's Blackwood Cliff..."

Everyone in the court had different thoughts, but no one dared to be the first to speak out.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Yu drew out his sword and pounded it hard. Four or five tiles in front of the steps broke, and he asked loudly again.

"Who can tell me what they saw?"

This time, someone answered.

"I!"

Zhang Yu looked and saw that it was still the middle-aged scholar in white clothes and waving a feather fan.

Di Baiying's confidant, one of the six hall elders besides the four garden commanders.

"Elder Wen, please speak!"

Wen Qianji took three steps forward, clasped his hands and said solemnly: "Reporting to the Hall Master, I saw four big words."

“Enforce the law like a mountain!”

Everyone then looked up and saw that on the screen wall, there was indeed the words "Enforce the law as hard as a mountain", but over the years, the paint had peeled off and the words were blurred, but far from being unrecognizable.

Law enforcement is like a mountain!

The reason they didn't think of it was simply because these four words were too common in the Dharma Protector Hall.

People tend to be blind to common things.

"Okay!"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "In such a big Dharma Protector Hall, at least someone still remembers these four words."

Wen Qianji stood below and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was stable.

"I hope you all remember that the Dharma Guardian Hall is here to protect the 'Dharma'. If it cannot uphold the rules and enforce discipline, and is just sitting there doing nothing and doing evil, then there is no need for it to exist!"

"Follow the instructions of the bishop!"

Everyone said in unison.

Many people have settled down. How can the law be enforced like a mountain? This new hall master is pedantic and cute. The Eastern Sect Leader changes his orders every day, the Yang Grand Steward is extremely powerful, and the sons of various families are arrogant and domineering. How can the Law Guardian Hall enforce the law like a mountain?

"However, since he is so conservative, he should follow the rules. At least he won't kill people."

Zhang Yu understood that old habits were not so easy to change.

He didn't expect that a few words could change anything, but he had to get the word out first, to avoid being accused of killing without teaching!

"To correct others, one must correct oneself first. To enforce the law, one must obey the law first. This hall master hopes that after you go back, you will think carefully about the four words above your heads. Enforce the law as hard as a mountain. Within three days, I will set up a new position in the Law Guardian Hall to be responsible for internal discipline inspection!"

Zhang Yu wanted to seize the power left by Di Baiying, but he killed people indiscriminately, which did not seem wise.

"Everyone go away, Elder Wen stay!"

Everyone dispersed after hearing the order, secretly wondering in their hearts whether this new hall master was "all talk and no action", using the four big words "enforce the law like a mountain" to consolidate power within the family, or was really so pedantic that he would go against the rules of the church and hit his head against a wall.

"With the arrival of Hall Master Zhang, everything has been renewed, bringing new vitality to the Dharma Protector Hall. We pass by here every day, but we never see the four characters 'Enforce the law like a mountain'. This really makes me ashamed. From now on, I will follow you till death, keep these four characters in mind at all times, strive to learn them deeply, understand them thoroughly, and do them..."

"Elder Wen."

Seeing that Wen Qianji was talking endlessly, Zhang Yu could only interrupt him, walked down the stairs and smiled slightly.

"The Eastern Patriarch has a chief steward named Yang."

Zhang Yu reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"I heard that you are the chief steward of Hall Master Di?"

Wen Qianji knelt down as if he had been electrocuted, and burst into tears instantly.

"It's unfair. It's such an injustice. Di Baiying and I are just..."

"Don't cry!"

Wen Qianji immediately stopped crying.

"That's fine. The affairs of the Guardian Hall are complicated and I need your help."

Wen Qianji immediately expressed his determination, patting his chest and saying, "I will serve the hall master even if it means death!"

Zhang Yu nodded.

"Let's go."

Wen Qianji stood up quickly and asked attentively, "Where is the hall master going?"

"Take me to various places to get to know the gates first..."
