I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 532 Victory over the Sword Crown Before the Sword Tomb

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The four men and one horse arrived at a small town and found the largest restaurant there.

Before even entering the door, Xu Fengnian shouted loudly.

"Waiter, bring the wine."

The waiter, seeing his beggar-like attire, politely said, "I'm sorry, sir, our restaurant does not serve those who are improperly dressed."

Xu Fengnian took out a silver ingot and waved it in front of the child.

"Even having money isn't enough?"

The waiter shook his head: "I'm really sorry, this has always been the rule at Qingfeng Tower."

Qingfenglou only serves prominent figures in town. If they let a beggar in today, breaking their long-standing tradition, their business will definitely suffer greatly in the future.

"Humph!"

Xu Fengshen snorted lightly, but didn't make things difficult for the waiter. He put away the silver and said, "Let's go, let's find another place."

At this moment, many scholars chatting upstairs burst out laughing upon seeing this scene.

"This silver probably wasn't stolen by that beggar, was it?" One of the scholars, looking for trouble, said with a face full of disdain, "Little beggar, get lost. This is not a place for lowly people like you."

He stood at the third-floor window, and his words were clearly heard by everyone.

Xu Fengnian tilted his head back and laughed angrily, "You're probably the one your mother had an affair with, aren't you?"

"Alas, Xiao Nian, I never told you about this. How did you find out? It's my fault, my fault. I acted impulsively that day." Wen Hua's voice was even louder than Xu Fengnian's as he looked at the scholar upstairs with a guilty expression: "Son, I'm so sorry..."

"You damned little beggars, you're asking for it!"

The scholar was furious and threw down his folding fan: "If you have the guts, don't run away. You'll be waiting for me."

Seeing this, Old Huang immediately shouted, "The wind's getting strong, let's get out of here!"

The three men and one horse ran very fast, but Zhou Cheng'an showed no intention of leaving.

The scholar, accompanied by a group of servants, rushed down from upstairs. Looking at Zhou Cheng'an standing there, he said fiercely, "Why don't you run?"

"Why should I run?" Zhou Chengan asked rhetorically.

"He's in cahoots with that beggar from before. That beggar stole my silver. Arrest him and take him to the authorities!" the scholar shouted.

"very good."

Zhou Chengan smiled: "I felt you deserved a beating from the beginning, but it wouldn't be right for me to actually hit you. Now I have a reason to hit you."

The ones who rushed over were just ordinary servants, and in just a few breaths, a large number of them were lying on the ground.

The scholar was so frightened that he wet himself, and stared at Zhou Cheng'an, trembling all over.

"They insulted you because you were the one who started it, so you deserved to be insulted. But it's also not good that they offended your mother."

"Master, I was wrong, please forgive me this time."

Zhou Chengan ignored him and continued, "But you really do deserve a beating!"

After saying that, he slapped the scholar unconscious before turning and leaving.

The trio who ran ahead naturally knew that Zhou Chengan would return safely.

But since someone was assaulted, this town is probably no longer safe to stay in; otherwise, who knows how many people would come looking for trouble.

After buying four jars of Shaoxing wine and four roast chickens, Xu Fengnian tossed a silver ingot to the shopkeeper and they left the town.

On the way, Old Huang huffed and puffed for a long time, but finally couldn't help but say, "Young master, these things won't cost ten taels of silver!"

"What?! Ten taels of silver!" Wen Hua exclaimed in surprise, "Ten taels of silver can buy..."

Wen Hua didn't finish her sentence.

Because he didn't know how much he could buy with ten taels of silver, after all, he had never had ten taels of silver before.

However, what he said to Lao Huang made Xu Fengnian feel guilty and want to go back and get the money back, but then he heard Zhou Chengan laugh and say, "It's okay, it's fine to give more than you need."

In Beiliang, let alone ten taels of silver, even one hundred thousand taels would only be pocket money for Xu Fengnian.

But now, he understands the value of those ten taels of silver.

“Cheng’an…”

"Enough talk, let's find a place and start eating."

Hearing Zhou Chengan say this, Xu Fengnian stopped being coy.

However, he kept this matter in mind.

The title of the most beautiful woman on the Rouge Ranking has already been given to my younger brother Huang Man'er, the second place will go to Cheng'an, and as for the remaining third and fourth... well, I'll have to do the hard work myself.

The four of them found a scenic spot with clear water and lush mountains, and each of them had a jar of Shaoxing wine and a roast chicken.

Wen Hua tore off a chicken leg, took a bite, then drank a big gulp of wine and laughed loudly, "The smell of alcohol on your body and the smell of meat on your lips, this is the real Jianghu!"

"As long as there is wine, I am already content."

Although Lao Huang said that, he was actually quite fast at winning chicken dinners.

Xu Fengnian even hugged a whole chicken and ate it, his mouth full of oil and fish, and mumbled his evaluation: "Actually, the taste of this roast chicken is just average."

Zhou Chengan remained silent.

The taste was so-so, yet you ate it with such gusto!

After the four had eaten and drunk their fill, they continued on their journey.

……

Another three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The four men and one horse found themselves short of money again.

Wen Hua sighed and said, "We've only had two good days, and now we're already talking about birds again."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and savored the taste of the roast chicken from the previous two days.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but complain, "Cheng'an, why didn't you leave us some silver and give it all to that family who were fleeing?"

Yesterday, they met a family of five who were fleeing from disaster. Zhou Chengan not only gave them money, but also introduced them to a place to go.

Whether the family of five can make it to the place he mentioned depends on their luck.

“If they don’t have money, they really will starve to death,” Zhou Chengan said calmly.

"I'm starving to death too!" Xu Fengnian cried out.

Zhou Cheng'an said calmly, "You're still alive, aren't you?"

"You...I..." Xu Fengnian was choked and couldn't speak.

Further ahead lies Magu City in Xiongzhou, not far from the Sword Tomb.

Back in Qingcheng Mountain, Zhou Cheng'an had told Zhao Yutai that he would visit the Sword Tomb if he had the chance, but he never expected it to be this kind of opportunity.

On their way to the Sword Tomb, Xu Fengnian and Wen Hua offended a young lady from a prominent family in Magu City because of their sharp tongues.

Then, the four of them were hunted down.

At first, they were just ordinary servants.

They were all taught a lesson by Zhou Cheng'an. Later, he sent in more experts of higher rank, but they were still no match for Zhou Cheng'an.

In short, no matter who the opponent is, Zhou Chengan can take them down in one move.

Curious, Xu Fengnian asked what the move that knocked down the opponent was called.

After learning that it was the Banlan Chui, one of the five punches in Tai Chi, he gave Zhou Cheng'an a nickname – Zhou the Punch.

Of course, he didn't dare tell Zhou Cheng'an about this nickname, after all, he didn't want to get beaten up by Zhou Cheng'an.

However, man proposes, God disposes. When they arrived in Magu City, the four of them heard that a rising star had appeared in the martial arts world. His fist skills were so great that he had defeated the Zhao family of Gusu City. He was known as Zhou Yichui!
Upon hearing the words "Zhou Yichui" and "Zhao Family," Zhou Chengan's expression immediately changed.

Without saying a word, Xu Fengnian shouted, "The wind is strong..."

Before he could even utter the words "get out of here," Zhou Chengan grabbed him and began to beat him mercilessly. Old Huang couldn't bear to watch and turned his face away.

It was originally Xu Fengnian and Wen Hua, those two bastards, who caused this mess. But when Zhou Chengan was cleaning up their mess, Xu Fengnian went and started yelling at them.

—Call all the members of your Zhao family here, and see if my brother Zhou Yichui can kill you all with one punch.

If Xu Fengnian doesn't get beaten up, who will?

After giving Xu Fengnian a good beating, Zhou Chengan turned his gaze to Wen Hua: "You played a part in this, didn't you?" "No, absolutely not!"

Wen Hua shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

However, Zhou Chengan still treated him fairly and beat him up as well.

We're all brothers; we should share the good times and the bad times together.

Wen Hua, who had been beaten, ran to Xu Fengnian's side: "Xiao Nian, I'm in this mess because of you, aren't you going to do something for me?"

"Don't bother me. When have I ever missed you? Besides, it was you who said you wanted to make Cheng'an famous that I came up with this idea," Xu Fengnian said irritably.

Ignoring his bruised and battered buddies, Zhou Cheng'an said to Lao Huang, "Lao Huang, where are you planning to go next? If you're not going to the Sword Tomb, let's split up for now."

Before Lao Huang could speak, Xu Fengnian, with a bruised and swollen face, replied, "Let's go, let's go to the Sword Tomb too."

Zhou Chengan nodded, looked in the direction of the Sword Tomb, and said with a leisurely smile, "Since we're going to the Sword Tomb, let's practice our swordsmanship for the next few days."

Hearing this, Old Huang beamed with joy...

"Cheng'an, I admit that giving you the nickname 'Zhou Yi Chui' was wrong, but you can't give up boxing and switch to swordsmanship just because of that," Xu Fengnian said, speaking to his junior with the earnestness of an elder.

Wen Hua nodded in agreement, adopting the air of a master swordsman: "That's right, Cheng'an, swordsmanship values ​​talent most. If you focus on fist techniques, you'll definitely achieve something. But if you switch to swordsmanship halfway through, I'm afraid..."

Zhou Cheng'an looked at the two of them and raised an eyebrow: "Are you two itching for a beating again?!"

The two fell silent; their injuries from the beating hadn't healed yet.

After spending three days in Magu City, the four of them headed straight for the Wu Family Sword Tomb.

Along the way, although no members of the Zhao family came to cause trouble, many martial arts figures came to challenge them.

It's called a challenge, but it's really just an attempt to climb to the top by stepping on "Zhou Yi Chui's" reputation.

Faced with these people, Zhou Chengan did not use the Tai Chi Chuan technique of blocking and striking, nor did he use any fist techniques at all.

But Zhou Chengan knew that the nickname "Zhou the Hammer" was unlikely to be shaken off anytime soon.

“Zhou Yichui, you won without using your fist techniques, which is not a fair victory. I will come back to challenge you again.”

Watching Zhou Cheng'an dismiss another challenger from the martial arts world, Xu Fengnian handed him some dry rations and water, and said with a smile, "Cheng'an, actually, the nickname 'Zhou Chui' sounds quite nice."

"roll!"

Ten days later.

The four men and one horse finally arrived at the Wu family's sword tomb, but no outsiders were allowed to enter the area within a radius of fifty miles of the sword tomb.

Disappointment is inevitable.

But since they weren't allowed in, they didn't insist.

They found a teahouse nearby to rest, and Xu Fengnian and Wen Hua gazed into the distance.

As Zhou Cheng'an sat drinking tea with Lao Huang, he looked at the young man at the opposite table and the maid behind him, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If he remembered correctly, Wu Liuding should not have come out of the Sword Tomb at this time, right?

Noticing his gaze, Wu Liuding smiled, as if talking to himself, or as if speaking to Zhou Chengan.

"Looks like I've finally met the person I've been waiting for. Come on, let's have a fight!"

"Cheng'an, he wants to fight you," Old Huang said in a low voice.

Why don't you just say he wants to fight you?
Zhou Cheng'an was speechless. He looked at Wu Liuding and asked, "How do we fight?"

Noticing Cuihua's actions behind him, Wu Liuding was taken aback and laughed, "Don't worry, I don't bully people. I only compare swordsmanship, not cultivation level."

Xu Fengnian, who was gazing at the Sword Tomb, was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"Hey, where are you from again? You've probably never heard of Monday..."

"roll!"

"Okay!"

After glancing at the clown Xu Fengnian, Wu Liuding turned his attention to Zhou Chengan.

"Where's your sword?"

"You don't have a sword either."

Wu Liuding was taken aback at first, then casually picked up a tree branch.

Seeing this, Zhou Chengan said to Wen Hua, "Lend me your wooden sword for a moment."

Wen Hua gave him the wooden sword without hesitation.

Seeing Zhou Chengan holding a sword, Old Huang immediately beamed with joy. A swordsman with a sword in his hand looks much better.

Zhou Chengan casually twirled his sword and laughed, "Wen Hua, your sword is not bad, but it's a bit ugly. You should carve it a bit more."

Hearing this, Wen Hua felt both worried and happy...

I'm happy because Zhou Chengan said his sword is good.

The concern stemmed from Zhou Cheng'an's comment that the wooden sword was good, which showed that Zhou Cheng'an knew nothing about swords.

"Could that guy over there be from the Wu Family Sword Tomb?"

"If so, then we should be fine after attacking the people from the Wu Family Sword Tomb, right?"

Xu Fengnian asked Lao Huang in a low voice. Lao Huang smiled bitterly and replied uncertainly in a low voice, "If we run faster, we should be fine."

About half a month ago, there was a disturbance of swords within the Wu family's sword tomb.

As time went on, almost all the swords began to stir and become increasingly restless.

Several disciples who found their swords were actually turned away by the swords.

Last night, an unusual phenomenon occurred where ten thousand swords rang out simultaneously.

This matter alarmed the Wu family patriarch.

They made an exception and allowed Wu Liuding to come out and wait for someone here.

He and Cuihua waited for most of the day before they finally met Zhou Chengan and the other three.

At first, Wu Liuding thought the person he was waiting for was the old man carrying the sword box, but Cuihua pointed to Zhou Chengan without leaving a trace.

This is why Wu Liuding was stunned when Zhou Chengan asked him how to fight.

Speaking of which, this kid is way too good-looking. He's exactly Cuihua's type. I wonder if Cuihua will fall for him?
Wu Liuding glanced at his maid with some concern.

What if I accidentally disfigure him?

Thinking this to himself, Wu Liuding raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Cheng'an, saying, "Shall we go over there?"

Zhou Cheng'an had no idea what had happened inside the Wu family's sword tomb, nor did he know what Wu Liuding was thinking. He simply stood up and smiled, "Let's go!"

Xu Fengnian and Wen Hua wanted to follow, but Cuihua stopped them.

The two cursed and swore, but Cuihua remained neither annoyed nor angry, which made them feel bored, so they could only wait anxiously in the teahouse.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Chengan and Wu Liuding have returned.

The wooden sword was unharmed, and the two people were also unharmed.

But Cuihua knew that Wu Liuding had probably lost.

Besides Cuihua, Lao Huang naturally knew the outcome of their battle as well.

Because he had sensed Wu Liuding's sword energy earlier.

They agreed to only compare swordsmanship, not cultivation level. If Wu Liuding's sword energy simply overflowed, then he would have lost.

"gone."

As Zhou Cheng'an greeted the three of them, he tossed the wooden sword to Wen Hua.

Wen Hua took the sword and asked with a curious look, "Cheng An, did you win or lose?"

“Wen Hua, you still don’t understand. Cheng An is quite well-known in the martial arts world. That guy clearly wants to use Cheng An to gain fame. His maid is mediocre, so her strength is naturally just as low.” Xu Fengnian laughed.

Wen Hua was taken aback, turned around to look at Wu Liuding and Cuihua, and then gave Xu Fengnian a thumbs up.

"Xiao Nian, you really understand!"
