Chapter 331 Bankruptcy (Two in One)
Yan Baihu was still curious about how much true energy Shen Qingzhou had wasted, and then he knew how much it was. The big dragon suddenly turned into countless small dragons, which were only an inch in size and bombarded the bandits.
Su Can's version of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is different from the regular one. For example, this move is called Shrinking the Dragon into an Inch, which is a group attack. It depends on how many strands you can control. The more the better is not the case. Anyway, the more true energy you have, the more strands you can split out. However, there are also requirements for the control of the true energy.
It's not just about quantity, it's just that after Shen Qingzhou reached perfection, his control over his true energy is unimaginable to others.
"Yan Baihu, if you survive my two attacks, I will let you go this time." Without stopping, the bandits cried for their parents. Shen Qingzhou used the move of Two Dragons Coming Out to Sea, which rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground and transformed them into two big dragons, surrounding Yan Baihu.
This move is called "Twin Dragons Coming Out to Sea". I heard from Xiaomi that the Ming Dynasty's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms has a move called "Twin Dragons Fetching Water". Song Dynasty's Hong Qi's Dragon Subduing Palm has a move called "Twin Dragons Coming Out to Sea", but it is not a trapping move. However, Su Can's move is a trapping move, with two dragons circling back and forth.
Yan Baihu knew that he had to fight desperately. Shen Qingzhou's performance this time was a little too terrifying. He could feel the sharpness of the rotation of true energy. He was running at full strength using the Thirteen Guardians Horizontal Training. As long as he can withstand it, I don't believe that you have unlimited internal energy.
Shen Qingzhou suddenly jumped up and flew like a dragon in the sky. With this move, he was already above Yan Baihu's head and pressed his palm towards Yan Baihu's Baihui point.
Yan Baihu suddenly did a Heavenly King Holding a Pagoda move and used the sword in his hand to block Shen Qingzhou's palm. His weapon was quite strange, a long-handled Guandao, but the sword looked more like an axe and was much shorter than a normal Guandao.
The knife received a blow from Shen Qingzhou, and Yan Baihu spat out blood from the corner of his mouth. If he had not used all his strength to practice the Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training, he would have had no power to fight back, but he could only use one move.
He knew that he had miscalculated. Last time, it was really that the other party showed mercy. But it was not really the case. Shen Qingzhou was just testing him.
Suddenly, the handle in his hand turned, and a sharp blade suddenly extended from the handle. Hiding a knife in the handle could easily catch people off guard. Shen Qingzhou had no time to prepare at all, causing the spectators to shout to be careful.
Yan Baihu was happy in his heart, he knew he would not survive. The opponent's palm power was beyond his imagination, but the opponent would not survive either.
The tip of the knife touched the opponent's body, but did not break the defense. A flexible force prevented him from moving forward. This was impossible. Shen Qingzhou felt the automatic defense of the innate energy, which was indeed good.
"It seems that you don't know much about me. I let you go with peace of mind. My strongest point has never been anything else, but my defense. If I say two moves, it means two moves." Shen Qingzhou said in a low voice. Yan Baihu's eyes dimmed, and he fell to the ground with a bang. He only had the strength of one move, and his heart meridians were broken.
He also figured it out. It wasn't that Shen Qingzhou couldn't dodge, but that he didn't dodge on purpose. After he overturned this time, there would be no chance of getting back on his feet.
Shen Qingzhou did not stop and used the move of Shrinking the Dragon into an Inch again. The bandits were either killed or injured. Just now, when he was fighting Yan Baihu, Wang Zhaoxing and his group also fought with the bandits. They had to thank Shen Qingzhou for using the move of Shrinking the Dragon into an Inch to seriously injure dozens of bandits. Otherwise, there would have been some casualties.
The escorts and porters of the Tianxia Escort Agency are just there to pick up the loose ends, while the grooms are holding knives but not taking any action. They are just there to make up the numbers and are not professionals.
……
"Captain Shen is indeed a martial arts expert. This time it's all thanks to Captain Shen. Otherwise, I don't know how many casualties we would have suffered." Gu Ping'an and others showed great respect to Shen Qingzhou, who looked like a peer.
Everyone already knows his name, and everyone has seen his martial arts, which are extremely strong, especially his internal strength, which is unusually strong. Everyone is guessing what kind of adventure he had, but no one would ask about such things.
"You're welcome. They also stopped my Tianxia Escort Agency. We had a fight before. He said he would back off. Since his words don't count, you can't blame me." Shen Qingzhou said with a bow.
"We plan to report this matter to the government. The government has attacked Wohu Mountain many times but failed to capture it. This time they suffered heavy losses when they went down the mountain. I think it won't be long before Wohu Village becomes history." said Liu Zhendong, Wang Zhaoxing's senior brother who pretended to be a couple.
He didn't know that his life was saved. According to the original plan, he was killed by Yan Baihu, although it was also discovered that Yan Baihu's weak spot was his throat.
There are weaknesses if the horizontal training technique is not fully developed, but everyone can make their own choice. Shen Qingzhou does not have this weakness, he is integrated with the whole.
"Then we'll take our leave now." A bunch of bandits were tied up tightly. The people from Ping An Escort Agency were watching them. The person who reported this was an official from Jinan Prefecture, so their destination could wait.
Shen Qingzhou and his men didn't want to deal with the government as it was a waste of time, so they left with the spoils.
On this return trip, there were many more horses than people. Yan Baihu and his men brought more than fifty horses, but they were all taken away by the people from the Tianxia Escort Agency. The Ping'an Escort Agency didn't feel anything was wrong. If it weren't for Shen Qingzhou, they would have been in trouble.
Gu Ping'an watched the fight. It seemed that Yan Baihu was beaten easily by Shen Qingzhou, but she had been to Wohu Mountain more than once and knew how powerful the opponent was. He was equipped with the Thirteen Guardians' horizontal training and was quite strong.
Shen Qingzhou was also very happy. There were more than ten war horses among them, and the rest were walking horses. However, their quality was better than the slow horses that they used to pull carts.
Of course, this also means a lot of consumption. A horse's daily food intake is more than the food rations of six adults, especially good horses require finer grains.
Horses, like cars, need to be maintained all the time, but no matter what, they are assets.
"Boss, is the martial art he used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, the one passed down to him by the leader of the Beggars' Sect in the Qing Dynasty? Is it so powerful?" Gu Ping'an watched the people from the Tianxia Escort Agency leave, and some escorts started a discussion.
……
Another ten days passed, and because it was an official road, we didn't encounter any problems. The biggest difficulty along the way was Crouching Tiger Mountain.
There were no setbacks along the way, and they returned to Hengyang. It took more than ten days, which was a bit slow. The main reason was that there were too many horses and they were a burden. There were few people, and Shen Qingzhou had to feed several horses by himself.
Not all the horses were kept. More than ten war horses were taken back to the escort agency, and the rest were sold on the spot. An ordinary horse cost fifty taels of silver and was more valuable than a person.
There is no point in keeping so many horses. The war horses are kept because even if you have money, it is difficult to buy horses of this quality.
After one trip, the profit including the horses was more than 10,000 taels of silver, that is, more than 5,000 taels on the way there and 7,000 taels on the way back. It sounds like a sky-high price, but it is normal when you think about having to face the thieves from Crouching Tiger Mountain head-on.
It was also because of Shen Qingzhou's reputation that so many merchants were attracted. If it were another escort agency, not so many merchants would believe in their abilities. This time, they gathered together the things accumulated by many wealthy families in Hengyang City. Crouching Tiger Village was still a headache.
Those merchants who came to pick up the goods heard that Crouching Tiger Village had come down the mountain and was defeated once by Shen Qingzhou, and even lost his life the next time. They respected Shen Qingzhou very much, and knew in their hearts that if it weren't for Shen Qingzhou, this trip would have been ruined.
Everyone knows that the goods transported back and forth are of great value, so it is normal to attract bandits to come down the mountain.
Shen Qingzhou did not issue a gag order regarding Yan Baihu's death. One reason was that it was useless, and the other was that he wanted to make a name for himself. To escort an escort, one needed both connections and force.
At this moment in Jinan Prefecture, the streets were crowded with people, watching the soldiers returning, escorting the dejected Crouching Tiger Mountain bandits, and cheering loudly.
The people in Jinan Prefecture were the victims of Crouching Tiger Stronghold. When they learned that Crouching Tiger Stronghold had been breached, they all came to watch the fun. "I heard that Yan Baihu was beaten to death by Shen Yujing of the Tianxia Escort Agency with the Dragon Subduing Palm. He was beaten to death with the Thirteen Taibao horizontal training." Several passers-by were chatting.
"Brother, you are really well-informed. May I know your nickname?"
"Haha, no problem. I'm Qin Xiaobao."
"Ah, could it be that the hero Qin, who is known as the little uncle's treasure, is flying solo?"
"Is it Xiaoxiong Xin? I have heard of you for a long time."
Listening to the mutual flattery, the people around were speechless. Xiao Shubao, Xiaoxiong believed it.
In the two great states of Sui and Tang, there were many martial arts masters, but the names of some of them were well-known throughout the world, such as Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, who were also from Jinan in the Sui Dynasty. People from Jinan Prefecture in various countries all over the world imitated their names.
The prefect of Jinan Prefecture was also very happy that they had finally defeated the Crouching Tiger Camp, and began to write a memorial. However, Wang Zhaoxing and his men had already asked the Embroidered Uniform Guard to deliver the letter through secret channels.
They were originally sent to steal the topographic map of Crouching Tiger Mountain so as to wipe out the stronghold in one fell swoop. But who could have imagined that the Crouching Tiger Stronghold would offend the great god and be almost wiped out by one person. The map was of little use.
After Yan Baihu's death, the group was leaderless. The people he brought with him were all elite members of the mountain stronghold, and they were all dealt with by Shen Qingzhou. Everyone was distressed. This mission was a test. They had to enter the Feiyu Camp. How could this be possible?
Beijing, Jinyiwei headquarters.

Baihu also learned about the annihilation of Crouching Tiger Village and saw a familiar name, Shen Yujing. Shen Yujing was the master of the Dragon Subduing Palm at the Tianxia Escort Agency and there was no other person like him in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The information from the Embroidered Uniform Guard was true. When he saw the other party kill Yan Baihu with just two moves, he knew that Brother Shen, with whom he had only met once before but had a good relationship, had made great progress in martial arts. Yan Baihu was very skilled, which made it very difficult for him. If he couldn't defeat him this time, Zhuque was planning to go there himself. He was in charge of this matter.
There are many factions in the Jinyiwei, including the Qinglong faction (from the movie Jinyiwei), the Ji Gang faction (from the TV series The Third Young Master's Sword), the Lu Ting faction (from the TV series Under the Power), and the Zheng Dongliu faction (the Strange Hero Yizhimei) which has become extremely weak.
Baihu still wrote a letter. He didn't mention Wang Zhaoxing and the others because their identities were hidden. He and Shen Qingzhou had a good personal relationship, but let's not talk about these.
……
"Brother Shen, you have shown your prowess. Yan Baihu and Crouching Tiger Village are notorious in Jinan Prefecture." He met Xiaomi just after returning to Qixia Town. He was waiting for Shen Qingzhou on purpose. He actually didn't know how old he was. He was about the same size as Shen Qingzhou, but he just called him brother.
Today, Xiaomi is the highest-ranking disciple of the Beggar Gang in Pinggu County and is already a seven-bag disciple. He is well-informed and usually provides a lot of information to the Tianxia Escort Agency, such as where bandits are lurking in Hengyang. They get along well with each other. This is all due to his personal relationship with Shen Qingzhou.
Xiaomi is also a popular commodity and has a good relationship with Su Can of the Qing Dynasty. Nangong Ling, the young leader of the Beggars' Sect in the north of the Ming Dynasty, thinks highly of Xiaomi. The four elders of the gang, who are masters of Gong Xi Fa Cai, all think highly of Xiaomi. Of course, everyone knows that this is because of Shi Huolong, the former leader, but it is an objective fact.
"Haha, it's their bad luck that they met me, Xiaomi. Let's drink together at noon, twenty-year-old Fenjiu." Shen Qingzhou was not modest. They were all friends.
"Well, the wine is still drinkable, but the twenty-year-old Fenjiu may be gone," said Xiaomi.
"What do you mean?" Shen Qingzhou frowned.
"The Yihong Restaurant went bankrupt." Xiaomi said.
"Bankruptcy? That shouldn't happen. When I left, their business was good." Shen Qingzhou asked. He did know that Yihong Restaurant went bankrupt so quickly in the film and television drama.
"Business is indeed good. They can't withstand the flow of things being given away. Everyone goes crazy and starts robbing people. It's hard to explain in a few words. You can go and see for yourself," said Xiaomi.
Shen Qingzhou, accompanied by two porters, pulled a cart to the destination. They looked at the Tongfu Inn, which remained the same, and the deserted Yihong Tower, whose plaque was no longer there.
"Xiao Shen." Tong Xiangyu was the first to see Shen Qingzhou and greeted him with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Tong, what happened?" Shen Qingzhou said.
"What else can I do? We were just delivering things. It was emptied out alive. What is this?" Tong Xiangyu looked at the escort car.
"Shopkeeper Sai asked me to bring back the wine. I'll go in and take a look." Shen Qingzhou said without saying anything else.
……
"Is anyone there?" When I walked in, I saw a scene that was completely different from before. The tables and chairs were gone, and a woman was sweeping the floor.
"Sir, we are closed here. You can go to the inn across the street." Sai Diaochan raised her head and saw that it was Shen Qingzhou. She quickly lowered her head. Now she is no longer the glorious owner of Yihong Restaurant, but a little woman who lives in fear.
"Shopkeeper Sai." Shen Qingzhou suddenly had a different perception of "Wulin Wai Zhuan". For people who watched TV, Sai Diaochan was the opposite of Tongfu Inn, and it was normal to hate her, especially since she evaded taxes.
But in this world, he realized a lot. Sai Diaochan was not a good person. She was definitely not as honest as Tong Xiangyu in doing business and she did not evade any taxes, but she was a normal businessman.
But at this moment, Sai Diaochan's dirty face proved her difference from the second generation of Tongfu Inn, and also represented the difficulties for the weak to survive in ancient times.
"Boss, I saw that group of people coming again, what should we do?" Xiao Cui suddenly came down from upstairs. She didn't see Shen Qingzhou and asked Sai Diaochan, but her voice was no longer clear.
"Mr. Shen." But he still discovered it.
"Shopkeeper Sai, I brought your wine back for you." Shen Qingzhou said.
"Mr. Shen, this is the escort silver. I won't go to the escort agency." Under Xiao Cui's surprised gaze, Sai Diaochan took out two ingots of silver. Xiao Cui was very surprised that the young lady still had silver on her and it must have been robbed.
Sai Diaochan was a little reluctant, but he knew that if he couldn't keep it, he might as well give it to the right person. Shen Qingzhou saw the note together with the two silver ingots. It must be the one he wrote.
