Chapter 160: Go and Return

Zhao Ya left.

In the night, his body movement was as fast as a 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 scholar shook his folding fan and chuckled.

The woman didn't say anything.

She was born in Jingyue Sect, one of the three sects in the capital, and her best skill was Qinggong.

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

"We stayed in this remote place for so many days, just to observe this guy all day long?" The woman looked at the honest man and said.

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

"If Junior Sister Gu has something to do, she can leave on her own, and there is no need to stay in Yunxiao County with me."

The woman was angry for a while.

She did think about leaving on her own, but she was unwilling to do so.

After all, she never understood why Wang Tiancheng, the Tianjiao disciple of the Golden Sword Academy, wanted to stay in Yunxiao County.

Just to see how Wei Hongbin, the direct descendant of the Wei family, suppressed and divided the warrior forces and controlled the overall situation?

Don't be funny.

The time of these Tianjiaos of the big sects is very precious. If there is no benefit, they don't even have the time to look at you more, so how can they waste time here?

So he must have other purposes, but he just doesn't know it for the time being.

And if he leaves like this, wouldn't it be giving 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.

"Brother Wang, you are joking. What can I do? Before I left, I told the elders of the sect that I would travel the world this time to temper my temper, so I can go back anytime."

Wang Tiancheng was not moved at all.

As a member of the Golden Sword Academy, and a warrior force that belongs to the three sects, two academies, and one mountain villa in the capital, he knows too much about the Jingyue Sect, or the style of Gu Chaoyue, the true disciple of the Jingyue Sect.

In short, it is the ultimate egoism. She will do everything she can to gain advantage in anything that is beneficial to her.

This includes coming to Yunxiao County this time.

Just to see if she can get an advantage in this beast tide, this Gu Chaoyue ran here from afar.

Now she is even more afraid that she will not get any advantage, and would rather waste time than leave.

Wang Tiancheng knows this very well, but he does not say it out loud.

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 of.

The young scholar on the side also saw the awkward atmosphere and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Brother Wang, what should we do? Should we go back to the store first..."

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

The young scholar and Gu Chaoyue looked in the direction of his finger, and indeed saw a black shadow appear on the tree again.

It was Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya, who had returned, was standing on the tree canopy and patrolling around.

Just now, he pretended to leave, but in fact he was hiding in the dark to see if the person who was secretly watching would appear again.

But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see anyone. Not giving up, Zhao Ya simply showed up again and searched again.

The result was naturally in vain.

"It seems that he really left." Zhao Ya muttered softly, and then he jumped into the darkness again, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

After he left, the young scholar hiding in the dark couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Damn, this kid..."

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

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

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

The young scholar was no longer able to complain, and could only look in the direction where Zhao Ya left with a look of seeing a ghost.

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

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

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

"I have always believed so, until I met you, Senior Brother Wang, I knew what it meant to say that there are always people who are better than you."

"I am not as talented as you, and I am even worse than you in terms of qualifications, but I didn't care too much. After all, the prodigies of the Golden Sword Academy are not just for fun. But what I never expected was that in this small Yunxiao County, a small fourth-level warrior almost exposed my whereabouts."

Speaking of this, the young scholar looked ashamed.

"It seems that I underestimated the heroes of the world before, and I am not as smart as I thought. After returning to the academy this time, I must retreat and practice, and never be proud and complacent."

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

"Junior Brother Xu, you are too polite. As the true disciple of Wunian Academy, you are already good enough."

"No, I am still far behind. I have to work hard. Otherwise, let alone not being able to compare with you, Senior Brother Wang, maybe in a few years, I will not even be able to compare with Zhao Ya."

Xu Nianran said very seriously, and felt that his martial arts heart became more and more crystal clear.

This is also the practice method of their sect.

Seek enlightenment in daily trivial matters to enhance your martial arts practice.

Wang Tiancheng was also impressed by what he said.

This Wunian Academy is worthy of being the sect with the longest inheritance history among the three sects, two academies and one villa in the capital. It really has some tricks.

"Let's go, go back to the store 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.

He naturally wouldn't tell what had just happened.

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

Zhao Ya asked and found out that this afternoon, Shi Qingqing's maid had come to the martial arts hall to find Shen Dao, and then he went out.

Zhao Ya didn't care. Now Shi Qingqing has gradually faded out of the brothel, and the name of the courtesan has gradually faded.

After all, the replacement of prostitutes in brothels 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 prostitute who sold her art but not her body. It was just because she was sold to Zuihuafang when she was young, and she needed to stay there for a certain number of years before she could redeem herself, so she had been dragging her feet and not marrying Shen Dao.

But it seems that it will be soon. In a few months, when Shi Qingqing turns 20, she can redeem herself.

By then, I should be able to drink the wedding wine of my second senior brother.

While thinking about the lifelong event of my 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 more stable.

And whether it was his cheeks or the quilts covering his body, they were all clean, which showed that Meng Shiwen often changed and washed them.

Seeing Meng Shiwen's eyes that turned red because of 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 own daughter in a sense.

"Has the master changed in the past few days?" Zhao Ya asked.

"No big changes, but his breathing has become much more stable." Meng Shiwen thought seriously for a moment, then said.

Zhao Ya felt Lu Dingtai's pulse again.

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

Lu Dingtai's pulse was very slow, but quite strong. Obviously, his injuries were slowly recovering, but I don't know why he hasn'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. Obviously, the previous injuries have recovered a lot, but I don't know why he hasn't woken up."

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

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

Therefore, the fact that he was unconscious had always weighed on their minds like a huge rock.

After a moment, it was Miao Shaocheng who broke the silence first.

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

Meng Shiwen and Xu De also cast their eyes on Zhao Ya when they heard this.

Yes.

Zhao Ya stayed indoors these days. They visited him several times, but they didn't even see him. They didn't know how his training was going.

Zhao Ya smiled when he heard this.

"I have gained something, right? Otherwise, you two brothers will come with me to the courtyard for a few times?"

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

"Okay, then let's help."

These days, the two of them either stayed by the master's bed or taught the disciples to practice martial arts. They didn't even leave the martial arts hall. They were bored a long time ago.

Now Zhao Ya's proposal was just what they wanted.

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

Meng Shiwen stood on the steps and watched.

"Who will go first, brothers?" Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"I'll go." Miao Shaocheng stepped forward and smiled at Zhao Ya.

"Little brother, you have to be careful. I haven't been idle recently. Although my realm is not as high as yours, I have quite a few insights in boxing."

"Okay, then please teach me, Brother Miao." Zhao Ya said with a fist.

Miao Shaocheng didn't waste words.

He also knew that he couldn't compare with Zhao Ya in terms of martial arts realm.

Fortunately, this was just a simple exchange, not a real fight, so there was still a chance of a fight.

He jumped towards Zhao Ya, and he took a stance in the air, and hit Zhao Ya's face with a Vajra Mountain Opening.

This punch was very powerful and impressive.

Miao Shaocheng was very proud.

As he said, he had been busy all this time, practicing the Great Vajra Fist all day, and he had indeed improved his boxing.

Especially with this punch, Miao Shaocheng felt that he had already reached some of the level of his master Lu Dingtai.

Even if Zhao Ya's martial arts level was high, he had only practiced the Great Vajra Fist for a short time, and his understanding of the boxing was definitely not as deep as his own.

Facing his punch, he had no choice but to retreat.

But this thought had just flashed through his mind when Miao Shaocheng suddenly heard Zhao Ya say.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Ya took a step forward, not retreating but advancing, and punched him.

Although he used less than 30% of his strength, Miao Shaocheng felt as if he was hit head-on by a mad elephant.

Before he landed in mid-air, he was blasted out by Zhao Ya.

Fortunately, Zhao Ya held back, so Miao Shaocheng was not injured. He just stumbled when he landed, and then looked at Zhao Ya with a complicated expression.

"This..."

"Brother, thank you." Zhao Ya clasped his fists.

Miao Shaocheng sighed softly.

"I thought I was good at the Vajra Fist, but compared to you, it's just like a beginner."

"Brother, you're too polite. Your Vajra Fist is also quite good. It's just that your realm is not high enough, so the speed and strength are not up to par."

Miao Shaocheng smiled bitterly, "Of course I know this, but how can a realm be broken through overnight? Alas!"

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

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

Miao Shaocheng was furious when he heard it, "What do you mean? So you mean I don't know myself?"

"Hehe, Brother Miao, if you insist on thinking so, then I can't help it."

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

Xu De smiled and dodged.

The two of them were fighting together.

Zhao Ya watched with a smile on his face.

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

He was using this method to show Meng Shiwen and Miao Shaocheng his achievements during this period.

After all, for his own practice, all the brothers gave up their meat jerky.

If he didn't give a satisfactory explanation, it would be unacceptable anyway.

That is, when 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 was the second hall of the government office, which was used to interrogate some important prisoners.

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

At this moment, Wei Hongbin sat upright on the high chair in the middle, his face gloomy and silent.

Although Wei Hongbin is nearly 40 years old this year, he looks like he is 28 or 29 years old because of his long-term pampering.

But the temperament of being in a high position for a long time makes him awe-inspiring without anger.

So even though they were just sitting there, no one in the hall dared to talk casually.

All the deputy generals and captains cast their eyes on Sun Yingkui who was standing in the hall.

There was sympathy, regret, and of course gloating in these eyes.

For example, Lin Shiguo, who was sitting in the first place with his head bowed under Wei Hongbin, was like this.

As the first deputy general under Wei Hongbin, he didn't get along with Sun Yingkui, who ranked first among the captains.

This was mainly because of the huge status gap between the two.

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

Sun Yingkui was a real grassroots person, and he relied on his own ability to step by step to the position of captain.

So Lin Shiguo often mocked Sun Yingkui for being a mud-legged person.

Sun Yingkui never refuted this.

In fact, he couldn't refute it either.

After all, in this Dayan Iron Cavalry, those in high positions are basically children of aristocratic families, and he and a few others are from common people. The gap between them cannot be measured in miles, so even if he wants to resist, he has no ability.

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

Especially after entering the city recently, the two have a huge difference in philosophy.

Lin Shiguo thinks that Sun Yingkui is too weak, especially too indulgent to these warriors.

Sun Yingkui thinks that Lin Shiguo indulges his subordinates to bully men and women and extort shops, which is too ugly and very detrimental to the stability of the city.

The contradiction between the two has accumulated and deepened, and finally broke out today.

"What? You tried your best to persuade the commander to write you an invitation, but he ignored you and didn't even come. Is this the turning point you said?" Lin Shiguo mocked him as much as he could.

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

It was my own idea, and now that it has not been done, it is normal to be scolded by others.

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

"If you ask me, you have ulterior motives in coming up with this idea. You are in the name of the commander, and you claim to be thinking about the people in the city, but in fact you want 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, then his position as a captain would be over.

He clasped his fists and said, "Commander, Lieutenant General Lin, I admit that I did not do well enough in this matter, but if you say that I won people's hearts and 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 afraid of fighting and death." Lin Shiguo did not give Sun Yingkui a chance to breathe, and every sentence was fatal.

Sun Yingkui took a deep breath and bowed to Wei Hongbin, who was sitting in the chair without saying a word.

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