Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 328 Founding a sect

Lin Shihong's wanted order is only to find Huang Sixi's whereabouts. The reward is very small and there is no threat for the time being.

Huang Sixi only needs to pay attention to the troops of Du Fuwei and Qu Ao.

After understanding his own situation, he turned to ask Song Yuzhi: "Thank you, Madam Song, for rescuing those twenty or so girls from the Baling Gang's brothel these days. The Baling Gang has suffered such a huge loss. How will they fight back against you in the future?"

When Song Yuzhi heard these words, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and all his fatigue disappeared.

Her original intention of rescuing the girl was to treat Song Zhi. It was a deal, so it was not surprising even if Huang Sixi treated her indifferently.

But she had been sleeping in the open air and traveling thousands of miles for days, and she was really tired. Huang Sixi was willing to understand her difficulties, which made her feel very good about him.

She did not let Huang Sixi worry about her: "Yuzhi received another piece of news on the way to Chun'an. A few days ago, the leader of the Baling Gang, Lu Kangshou, was assassinated..."

"What? Lu Longtou is dead?"

Song Zhi was quite surprised. The Baling Gang had businesses all over the world and was extremely wealthy. The leader, Lu Kangshou, had hired four great masters and hundreds of assassins. Assassinating Lu Kangshou would be more difficult than killing Ren Shaoming.

Song Zhi keenly noticed something unusual: "Was Lu Kangshou killed by an assassin, or did he die in an internal conflict?"

He knew that Xiao Xin, the second in command of the Baling Gang, had always been ambitious, and this incident might have been Xiao Xin's backstabbing.

"It's not an internal conflict, Second Uncle! Lu Kangshou died at the hands of the 'Shadow Assassin' Yang Xuyan!"

Song Yuzhi's eyes moved, and after speaking to Song Zhi, he immediately turned his gaze to Huang Sixi: "Yang Xuyan is an assassin of the royal family, ordered by the emperor. He once tried to assassinate Du Fuwei. Although he failed, he became famous for stabbing Du Fuwei!"

Huang Sixi heard Zhai Jiao talk about the situation of the Baling Gang and wondered, "I heard that the power behind the Baling Gang is Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Why did Yang Guang send assassins to assassinate the leader of the Baling Gang?"

Song Yuzhi revealed: "This involves a court struggle. The brothers Yuwen Huaji and Yuwen Zhiji are all treacherous ministers, but they are deeply trusted by the emperor. They saw the huge profits of the Baling Gang and tried to sow discord.

They first instigated the third leader of the Baling Gang to rebel, obtained Lu Kangshou's hiding place, and then sent Yang Xuyan to assassinate him successfully. They also wanted to kill the second leader Xiao Xian, but Xiao Xian was good at martial arts and had tight defense, so he luckily escaped. "

The evil reputation of the Yuwen clan was known throughout the world, but Yang Guang was extremely fond of the brothers Yuwen Huaji and Yuwen Zhiji. It was only natural that Yang Guang was deceived by the Yuwen clan.

Song Yuzhi looked relieved. "Right now, the internal situation of the Baling Clan is quite unstable. The first leader died, the third leader rebelled, and the second leader Xiao Xian has to deal with the Yuwen Clan. No one will care about the 20 or so girls being robbed."

Huang Sixi originally wanted to ask Song Yuzhi who in the Baling Gang would track down the whereabouts of the girls, and let Song Yuzhi provide a list, and Huang Sixi would personally solve these problems.

However, since the Baling Gang was in internal turmoil and was unable to take care of itself, Huang Sixi did not need to pay attention to it for the time being. He first settled the children and then said goodbye to Song Yuzhi and Song Zhi.

Seeing Huang Sixi was about to leave, Song Yuzhi handed over a personal seal and said, "Chun'an is the seat of Sui'an County. My family owns a grain store in Chun'an County. Mr. Huang, you will be taking care of more than a hundred children in the future. The daily expenses must be very high. If you have trouble purchasing, you may as well come to Song's grain store. Yuzhi will send someone to provide all the food, clothing and other necessities."

She knew that Huang Sixi would not handle the trivial matters of purchasing food and clothing, so she gave him a seal, which was also a personal token, and allowed Huang Sixi to give it to a trusted person to contact the grain shop on his behalf.

After she said this, she stared at Huang Sixi with anticipation on her face.

Huang Sixi planned to let the children plant crops in the mountains, but even if the fields were reclaimed, it would take at least until after the New Year for them to harvest, and they would have to buy food during this period.

It is more convenient and less troublesome to ask Song Yuzhi for procurement than to ask outsiders.

Huang Sixi accepted Song Yuzhi's seal.

Wait until Huang Sixi left Qinghu and disappeared into the mountains.

Song Yuzhi also withdrew his gaze from his back and said to Song Zhi: "Second Uncle, Yuzhi thinks that Mr. Huang might go and assassinate Du Fuwei and Qu Ao!"

Song Zhi responded calmly: "So what? This is Mr. Huang's own business and has nothing to do with the Song family."

Song Yuzhi was stunned for a moment: "How can it not be related? Du Fuwei blocked the river and robbed our salt ships. If Du Fuwei died, it would save us from our huge losses! Just like Huang Langjun killing Ren Shaoming, it also helped us a lot!"

Song Zhi did not deny this, but said: "Mr. Huang killed Ren Shaoming to eliminate harm for the people. Even if he assassinates Du Fuwei and Qu Ao in the future, it is to eliminate future troubles for him and those children. He is definitely not doing it for the Song family! You can't wishfully think that he will become an ally of the Song family just because he helped the Song family indirectly!"

Song Yuzhi looked surprised: "Second Uncle, Mr. Huang rejects officials and noble families?"

Song Zhi replied: "He doesn't reject the aristocratic families! But he rejects being wooed by them, and he will never be used or restricted by them!"

Song Zhi was born into a noble family and had met all kinds of humble people. Poor people all over the world were trying their best to attach themselves to the powerful families in order to gain a chance to advance their careers and stand out from the crowd. The powerful families were also willing to recruit talented people to serve them.

In the past, Song Zhi and Song Yuzhi had both recruited talented people for their families, which is why Song Zhi said this.

Song Yuzhi shook his head slightly, looking serious: "Yuzhi never thought of winning over Mr. Huang!"

Song Zhi did not argue: "I know! I am just reminding you not to associate the affairs of the Song family with Mr. Huang in the future! Let him assassinate whoever he wants, and we should not interfere, just stand by and watch. If you insist on intervening and let him misunderstand and hate the Song family, then it will be more trouble than it is worth!"

After hearing this, Song Yuzhi pursed his lips and suddenly said jokingly: "Second uncle, why are you so nervous? Mr. Huang is not a tiger. As long as we are honest with each other, are you still afraid that he will eat you?"

Song Zhi became serious: "Mr. Huang is very good at killing people in the Iron Cavalry Club. He must have experienced many battles in the past. A master like him has the ability to influence the situation in the world. Any force that angers him may be in danger of being annihilated. So it is better to be cautious."

Song Yuzhi didn't care: "You are worrying too much, Second Uncle! Mr. Huang only looks scary. He stood up for the weak and lonely. He is definitely a reasonable person. You will only be afraid of him if you have done something wrong. Yuzhi has no fear of Mr. Huang now!"

Song Zhi immediately blew his beard and glared: "How can you talk like that, girl? You are so disrespectful!"

Song Yuzhi knew that she had made a mistake, smiled, and stepped forward to hug Song Zhi's arm: "Yuzhi is outspoken, you should calm down!"

Song Zhi didn't give the younger generation any attention and said, "Okay, hurry up and prepare the foal. Let's go back to Jiangdu and deal with the matter of the river being intercepted!"

Song Yuzhi had his own idea: "Second Uncle, you can handle it yourself. Yuzhi will stay in Chun'an to arrange some daily supplies for Mr. Huang!"

Song Zhi frowned and said, "There is a grain store in Chun'an. The store owner will prepare all the supplies according to normal trading. You don't need to work hard yourself. Why are you staying here?"

Song Yuzhi patiently explained: "Du Fuwei cut off the river route. I have considered solutions, and there are only two solutions. One is to go north to form an alliance with the Wagang Army and persuade the Wagang Army to go south to fight the Jianghuai Army, but this is almost impossible to achieve. The Wagang Army is planning to attack Xingluo Cang. They don't even have time to resist the encirclement and suppression of the government troops, and it is absolutely impossible for them to conflict with the Jianghuai Army now!

The second is to assassinate Du Fuwei. This is the most effective way. Since Mr. Huang has the possibility of assassinating Du Fuwei, we should lend him a helping hand. I stayed in Chun'an just in case. If Mr. Huang really wants to launch an assassination, I can provide him with intelligence support to reduce his risk and increase the chances of success! "

Song Zhi said earnestly, "Girl, your consideration is not wrong! But what did I tell you just now? Don't interfere with Mr. Huang, just stand by and watch. If you interfere too much in Mr. Huang's affairs and let him misunderstand our Song family, how can we make up for it then!"

He was worried that Huang Sixi had no intention of assassinating Du Fuwei and Qu Ao, but Song Yuzhi came forward to persuade Huang Sixi, which would definitely cause Huang Sixi to be vigilant and misunderstand. Song Yuzhi knew Song Zhi's concerns and said something rebellious: "Yuzhi has always been abiding by his duties since he was a child, and would never do anything that would cause loss to the family. Second uncle doesn't trust Yuzhi? Then Yuzhi can give up his status as the young master of the Song family and contact Huang Langjun in his own name!"

Song Zhi was speechless.

He knew that his niece had her own ideas since she was young. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. So he simply stopped persuading her: "In this case, Second Uncle will go back to Jiangdu by himself. Girl, you can do whatever you want!"

Song Zhi returned to Chun'an County and left on horseback.

Huang Sixi has also returned to the cave.

He gathered all the children together, including Zhai Jiao and Du Silang, and there were exactly one hundred and ten of them.

After the children stopped talking and the atmosphere quieted down, he said, "From now on, you will live in the mountains. You cannot leave the mountains without permission. Everyone must be self-reliant!"

A seven or eight-year-old child at the front of the line asked in confusion, "Sir, what does self-reliance mean?"

Huang Sixi smiled at him and said, "It means growing crops, making clothes, and supporting yourself!"

The remaining children began to speak up: "My dear, I can herd cattle and plow the fields, and I also know how to sow seeds!"

"I learned blacksmithing and made farm tools and kitchen knives with my father!"

"I can pick mulberry leaves, raise silkworms, weave and embroider clothes!"

"I have been able to read since I was a child, and I also know how to do accounting!"

"..."

Huang Sixi did not stop them from making noise, and waited for them to finish talking about their own specialties.

Huang Sixi then said, "In addition to food, clothing, shelter and transportation, you also need to learn literature and martial arts. Only by diligently cultivating literary and martial arts strategies can you govern the country and help the people in the future and help those who are suffering like you!"

Although the children were young, they had all matured after these days of life and death trials, and they understood what Huang Sixi wanted to teach them.

They immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying in unison: "Students greet our respected teacher!"

Zhai Jiao and Du Silang are no exception.

Huang Sixi never accepted apprentices before, but this time he set a precedent.

He scanned the crowd and said slowly, "There are too many of you. Without rules, there will be no order. In order to ensure that your future study and life are in order, I will set up an academy from now on, named Jianglong. From now on, you will all be students of Jianglong Academy, and you can call me the dean!"

"Students meet the dean!"

Zhai Jiao accompanied the children in calling it by that name, but her mind was thinking of the Jingnian Zen Temple outside the city of Luoyang. She thought that Buddhists loved to call it "Yuan" (a temple), and it seemed that there was also a Buddha named "Zhan Long Luohan". Today, Brother Haohan was founding a school, so was he founding a college or a Buddhist temple?

When she was wondering, Huang Sixi suddenly signaled her, "Wuxia, take out a pen and paper and write down the rules of Jianglongyuan! Let Silang grind ink for you!"

"okay!"

Zhai Jiao and Du Silang were originally standing on Huang Sixi's left and right. They quickly moved the table over, took out the four treasures of the study and began to record.

Before Zhai Jiao wrote, she put her palms together and said piously, "Amitabha, may the Buddha bless our Jianglong Temple to last forever!"

Huang Sixi immediately scolded: "I asked you to take notes, what the hell are you talking about? Pay attention!"

"oh oh!"

Zhai Jiao shrank her neck and quickly buried her head on the table, thinking: "Did I make a mistake? Brother Haohan's name is just a coincidence, not because he worships Buddhism?"

Huang Sixi began to preach: "Jianglongyuan has temporarily opened six halls. The first hall is the law enforcement hall, which will investigate the law-breaking and criminal activities within the academy, and punish the fratricide and treason outside the academy. Students in this hall can receive my internal Qigong. Who is willing to enter the law enforcement hall?"

The children automatically filtered out this hall. No one was willing to be a law enforcer. Even if someone dared to do it, they could not convince the public.

Huang Sixi directly named Du Silang: "Silang, you will enter the Law Enforcement Hall. From now on, you will be in charge of the discipline of your fellow apprentices!"

Du Silang also took the responsibility. He thought that he must take good care of the children and not let them become complacent, lest they let down his husband's painstaking training.

Huang Sixi continued, "The second hall is the Jade Bee Hall, where students mainly learn beekeeping, honey collection, and cultivation. They also need to study medical classics and make medicines. This hall can teach my art of using acupuncture needles to practice medicine. Who is willing to enter the Jade Bee Hall?"

Upon hearing that one could practice medicine, make elixirs, and raise bees to collect honey, dozens of girls present responded in unison and expressed their desire to study medicine.

Seeing that there were too many people, Huang Sixi smiled and added, "The students of Yufeng Hall are responsible for farming and growing crops, and they have to work in the fields every day. Can you all endure the hardship?"

The number of people immediately retreated by half, and finally more than twenty people joined Yufeng Hall.

Next is the Third Mechanical Hall, where the learning direction is civil engineering and Feng Shui observation. The disciples of this hall need to survey the terrain on a daily basis. In addition to teaching the clay Buddha the art of Qimen Dunjia, Huang Sixi will also teach the light skill of flying over eaves and walking on walls.

The fourth is the Black Iron Hall, where the learning direction is to forge weapons and weave clothes and cast armor. In addition to compiling books suitable for contemporary folk smelting and cotton spinning, Huang Sixi also teaches the techniques of using various weapons.

In the Fifth Qilin Hall, the direction of study is animal husbandry and animal domestication. When the children entered the mountains, they rode hundreds of war horses, and they will definitely continue to let the animals roam free. Huang Sixi will also teach them the art of catching snakes and extracting venom, so that they can be both civil and military.

This Five Palaces Academy not only encompasses various martial arts schools, but also encompasses strategies for benefiting the people and maintaining peace in the country. The only drawback is that the qualifications of the hundreds of students are uneven.

Huang Sixi would teach students according to their aptitude. For students with outstanding talents, he would teach them superior martial arts and profound knowledge. As for those with dull talents, he would slowly eliminate them from the first five halls and then transfer them to the Sixth Mountain Guarding Hall.

As the name suggests, the Shoushan Hall is for students who are specifically responsible for guarding the academy. Their daily duties include cooking, washing clothes, serving tea and water, and they do not need any qualifications to do the job.

After this day, Huang Sixi began to give unified lectures to hundreds of students, with a probation period of one month.

A month later, Huang Sixi had roughly figured out the differences in qualifications among these students. He picked out a group of top students for key training and let them practice by building houses, reclaiming fields, and casting artifacts.

In his spare time, Huang Sixi also took a Feng Shui compass and traveled through the Qianligang Mountains, which were more than a hundred miles long, to calculate the location of the Jingyan Palace War Temple.
