Chapter 104: Standardized Writing and Standardized Tracks

After Shanrou and Suning had been spending a few days together in the cave, Shanrou suddenly remembered the "dead head" of Yan Ping next to her. If she didn't go back to hand in the task, "Yan Ping" would really be unrecognizable.

"Hubby, I have to go to the organization to hand in the task and collect the reward money first.

You wait for me in this cave for a day or two!"

"How about I go with you!" Su Ning and Shan Rou were a couple in love, and Su Ning had indeed become dependent on Shan Rou.

"Absolutely not!" Shan Rou quickly refused, "Our assassin organization is very strict.

I also don't want the leader to know about your existence, because it's too dangerous!"

"Shanrou, since your assassin organization is so dangerous, why not just find a way to leave it?

There doesn't seem to be much point in "chopping off heads" like this all day long!

“Not yet!
The leader of our killer organization is a super master.

If I were to face him, I would have almost no chance of winning!" Shanrou shook her head helplessly.

"Eh? What's your leader's name?"

"Cao Qiudao! A true swordsman! The Sword Saint of Qi!"

"In that case, this matter needs further consideration!" After hearing Cao Qiudao's string of titles, Suning could only choose to "lie down" for the time being.

"Well! Husband, wait for me here!
I will be back soon, and we will go to Handan together."

Looking at Shanrou's leaving back, Suning smiled happily. He finally got his first woman in this world and seemed to have conquered her.

He is not the original Xiang Shaolong, and he does not have the urgent desire to return to Hong Kong Island and win back his ex-girlfriend. He does not care whether he will change history. He just wants to live a happy life.

When I watched "A Journey to the West" before, I always felt that there were many unreasonable things. Now that I have traveled through time and space to Xiang Shaolong's body, I might as well go on a truly grand and spectacular "Journey to the West" journey.

Suning only waited in the cave for one day, and Shanrou rushed back, looking like she had been sleeping in the open air. When she saw Suning waiting for her, she showed her joy from the bottom of her heart.

"Husband, are you getting impatient?"

"It's okay! It's only one day!"

"In that case, let's get going!"

Although Yan Ping was dealt with, there were still a large number of Yan Ping's men in the small town, searching for Su Ning and Shan Rou everywhere.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Suning and Shanrou did not return to the "Warrior's Inn" to retrieve their horses. Instead, they deliberately took a long detour and avoided the town where Yan Ping was killed.

"Honey, wear this!" Shanrou suddenly took out two masks and handed one to Su Ning.

"Huh? Not really!" Su Ning said disapprovingly, wanting to refuse. "It was so dark that day. Most people these days have night blindness, so they probably wouldn't be able to see us clearly."

"Haha, husband, it's better to be careful!

There are many strange people and things in the world, so we have to be on guard!"

"Okay then!

I'll just put on this mask!

It's such a pity for my beautiful face! "After hearing Shanrou's explanation, Su Ning also agreed with it, and then suddenly said in a funny way.

"Huh! You're so conceited, husband! No one can boast like you!"

"Haha, did I say something wrong?"

The two came to an unfamiliar town and wanted to buy two more horses, but as soon as they entered the town, they were surrounded by a group of Mohists. Without asking, Su Ning and Shan Rou knew that they were all subordinates of the dead ghost Yan Ping.

"Uncle Master, the murderers of our master are these two people in front of us!

Even though they're wearing masks, I can still spot them even if they turn into ashes!"

Hearing the words of the guy in front of him, Su Ning remembered Shanrou's reminder to him just now. It seemed that he really underestimated the abilities of the ancients.

The uncle-master picked up his sword and walked up to Su Ning and Shan Rou. "You two, were you the ones who killed my junior fellow apprentice Yan Ping?"

When Su Ning saw the familiar face, he realized that it was Yuan Hua from later generations. Then he had an idea and remembered that he was Yuan Zong, the leader of the Mohist Guild.

"I guess this must be the famous Senior Yuanzong!"

"Who are you? You actually know me?"

Yuanzong showed a surprised expression, because he had always been elusive and few people knew him, let alone the two strangers in front of him.

"Senior, I am Suning!

This is my wife Shanrou.

Actually, to be honest, you should thank us, senior.

If we hadn't dealt with Yan Ping in advance, you would have been poisoned to death by your fellow apprentice Yan Ping!"

"What? Do you think I will believe your nonsense?" Yuanzong looked at Su Ning and Shan Rou with a questioning expression.

"Haha, Senior, you should have some guesses in your mind, right?

Many people heard Yan Ping’s evil plan that night!
You can definitely ask Yan Ping's men around you!"

After hearing Su Ning's explanation, Yuan Zong also questioned the character of his junior brother Yan Ping, and then looked at the person next to him with a bad look, wanting him to tell the truth himself.

After hearing that Suning knew their plan clearly, and then feeling Yuanzong's murderous look, this person did not have any intention of refuting. After all, Yan Ping had been killed, so he simply told the whole story.

After hearing the confirmation from Yan Ping's men, Yuan Zong believed Su Ning's explanation and shouted at the people around him, "All of you go!

Don't force me to kill you!"

Hearing Yuan Zong's expulsion of them, Yan Ping's men fled in a hurry, unwilling to look back, for fear that they would be killed by Yuan Zong's sword if they turned around.

“Thanks to this little brother and his wife for their help.

If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know!
Yuan will definitely do his best!"

Hearing Yuan Zong's gratitude, Su Ning wanted to say a few polite words and exchange pleasantries, but Shan Rou beside him suddenly said in surprise, "Senior, my husband has always admired your superb swordsmanship.

Can my husband learn some swordsmanship from the seniors to protect himself?"

"Little brother, do you really want to learn swordsmanship from me?" Yuan Zong hesitated, then suddenly looked at Su Ning beside him.

"If senior is willing, junior would be more than happy to do so!"

"Alright! Then you can just stay with me and learn swordsmanship!"

"Thank you, senior!" Su Ning and Shan Rou showed surprised expressions.

Although he didn't know why Shanrou made this request, Su Ning believed that Shanrou would not harm him. In this dangerous era of cold weapons, it was very necessary to possess martial arts and swordsmanship.

Although the Glock 21 semi-automatic pistol in his hand is very convenient to use, the bullets are limited after all, so it is better to use it at the most important time.

For some reason, Suning did not take off his mask. Instead, he felt more comfortable wearing it, just like wearing a mask in later generations became a habit.

In his previous life, he was a special police officer in Hong Kong Island. He had a certain foundation in fighting. Coupled with the influence of time travel, he felt that his body was very strong. Anyway, when he was intimate with Shanrou, he felt that he was very "brave".

Despite this, Suning did not arrogantly think that he could compare to the ancients who were busy with swords and sabers all day long. After all, they knew more about the use of cold weapons.

Following Yuanzong, Su Ning carefully and seriously learned some basic movements. Yuanzong realized that Su Ning still had a certain foundation, so he prepared to speed up the teaching of swordsmanship.

"Little brother, I can sense that you have a very good foundation in martial arts and a strong physique.

It's just a little unsystematic.

And I am very satisfied and pleased that you can calm down and learn the basic movements I have formulated for you."

"Senior, thank you for the compliment! This is what Suning should do!"

Both Su Ning and Shan Rou wanted to directly recognize Yuan Zong as their master, but they didn't know what Yuan Zong was thinking. He always disagreed with Su Ning and Shan Rou's proposals and said that he was only willing to teach Su Ning martial arts and swordsmanship, and there was no master-disciple relationship between them.

Shanrou found Yuanzong's rejection very difficult to accept and wanted to continue to persuade him, but Suning refused because he really didn't care and didn't like to force others.

"Shanrou, it's great that Senior Yuanzong is willing to teach me swordsmanship!

We should be grateful and repay his kindness, and not force him to do anything!"

“However, as Senior Yuanzong.

If you can accept him as your master, everything will go smoothly in the future!"

“Haha, it’s hard for anyone to predict what will happen in the future!
Shanrou, you don't need to be so absolute!"

Seeing that Su Ning had no intention of forcing Yuan Zong, Shan Rou sighed and stopped pursuing the matter. Although he could not accept Yuan Zong as his master, Su Ning still tried his best to please Yuan Zong in order to learn the true swordsmanship.

In order to satisfy Yuanzong, Suning used his real-world cooking skills. Whether it was barbecue or stir-fry, Yuanzong and Shanrou feasted on the food and couldn't put down their chopsticks.

“Little brother, I didn’t expect your cooking skills to be so superb.

After eating your food, I will never enjoy eating again!"

“Haha, if Senior Yuanzong really likes it.

I might as well just follow Senior Yuan Zong and serve him!"

"No! Although we have only known each other for a short time, I can still see that the young man has a bright future.

I really can't let this little brother ruin his own future just for the sake of my own appetite!"

"Haha, what Senior Yuanzong said is really too serious!

I don't have any big ideals, I just want to live my life as it comes!"

"As a man, how can you have such a muddle-headed mentality?

With your talent, you will definitely have a bright future!
So, you must strive to improve yourself.”

"Eh? Senior, in this chaotic world of constant war, there's no chance for a small person like me!

If I were to truly speak of my own ambitions and ideals, I would very much like to see the unification of the nine provinces of China within my lifetime."

"Ah? How easy is it to unify the world?!" Yuanzong showed a shocked expression, and then said with some loss.

"Senior, the nine provinces of the world now belong to the Great Zhou, and they should be unified!
However, the ruler was weak and the ministers were strong, and the vassal states no longer took the Great Zhou seriously.

This has led to the current divisive situation!"

"The world was forcibly divided into seven vassal states: Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin. They fought against each other for years, and the people suffered the most."

"Senior, if the world were unified, with a common script and common wheel gauge, why would there be so many wars?"

"One script, one track?"

Upon hearing Suning's lofty ideals and ambitions, Yuanzong was suddenly shocked and stunned on the spot. Shanrou, who was standing beside him, looked at her man who was talking with golden eyes.

"Little brother, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!
I admire you!" Yuan Zong, who had regained consciousness from his daze, suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Su Ning.

"Senior, you are too polite!" Suning hurriedly helped Yuan Zong up, who was very serious, and did not let him bow.

“Little brother, Yuan’s mind is a little confused today.

Let’s stop here for today!”

"Alright! Senior, go and rest first!"

Watching Yuanzong's dazed back as he walked away, Shanrou, who was standing beside him, turned into a "little fangirl" of Suning and looked at the man in front of her with admiration, "Husband, I didn't know you actually have such lofty ambitions!"

"Haha, silly girl!

I was just fooling Senior Yuanzong!
You don’t really take it seriously, do you?

"No! When you, my husband, talked about unifying the world, I could sense the confidence in you.

I know this is your ideal and ambition!" Shanrou shook her head disapprovingly.

Suning didn't say anything else, just smiled without comment. Of course he was confident in unifying the world, because this was the eternal achievement of "Brother Zheng".

As a Chinese, how could I possibly doubt Ying Zheng's ability? This is also the most meaningful thing about my time traveling. After all, being able to witness the Qin Dynasty unifying the world with my own eyes is still very shocking.

After hearing what Suning said, Yuanzong returned to his residence and lay there in a daze, losing all interest in his favorite dinner.

Seeing Yuanzong's behavior, Suning suddenly felt that he had gone too far. He must not fool Yuanzong, otherwise he would end up losing more than he gained.

The next morning, seeing Yuanzong get up as if nothing had happened, Suning, who had been nervous all night, felt a little relaxed. It seems that the ancients still had a strong ability to endure.

After breakfast, when it was time for training again, Suning found that Yuanzong's attitude towards him had completely changed. He became more strict and more attentive, no longer just getting by as he did at the beginning.

Although he didn't know why Yuanzong suddenly changed his attitude towards him, Su Ning stopped making random guesses. After all, it was something he had longed for before.

"Little brother, I will be stricter with you from now on!
I hope you can stick with it!"

"Senior, please rest assured!

I won't let you down! "

"Yes! Yuan has great confidence in you too!"

Seeing Yuanzong suddenly take out his best swordsmanship and martial arts to teach Su Ning, Shanrou guessed that it was because of Su Ning's remarks yesterday, which completely touched Yuanzong's calm mind.

Xiang Shaolong, who originally wanted to wait until Su Ning learned Yuanzong's swordsmanship and then plot to kill Yuanzong, had a slight change of mind because of Yuanzong's treatment of him.

But when she thought of the orders of her lord Cao Qiudao, the Juzi Order on Yuanzong's body, and the secret of unifying the Mohists in the world, Shanrou hardened her heart again.

Because of Su Ning's strong physique, the original owner's training foundation in Hong Kong Island, and Yuan Zong's dedicated teaching, Su Ning's swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds.

Yuanzong was very satisfied and pleased with Suning's rapid progress, and suddenly he became more confident in Suning's lofty ambitions.

"Little brother, let's take a break first!

To be honest, you're making great progress!

I originally thought that it was already a great achievement that you could learn all of Yuan's sword techniques within two years!
I didn't expect that in less than a year, I'd already learned so much!"

"Haha, I have to thank Senior Yuanzong for his generous teaching and careful guidance.

Su is very grateful to the senior! "

"Haha! Let's stop flattering each other here!

"By the way, can the unification of the world that little brother talked about the other day really be realized?"

Seeing Yuan Zong's eager face, Su Ning stopped being so carefree and took the issue seriously. "Senior, let me be honest with you. Everything I do now is to find the true Son of Destiny and help him conquer the world!"

"Does this little brother already have a goal?" Yuanzong suddenly looked at Suning with excitement.

"Uh?"

Suning really wanted to answer that the child of destiny was the great "Zheng Ge", but he knew that no one would believe it even if he said it.

Su Ning feigned helplessness and shook his head, then explained with a wry smile, “This is just Su’s ideal and ambition.

As for who is the child of destiny?

I will slowly search for it!"

"In that case, is there anything I can be of service to you?

Yuan also wants to do what he can to help unify the world!"

"What? Senior Yuanzong, are you serious?"

"Of course! Yuan will never joke about this matter!
Even the world would not joke about unifying the world!"

Su Ning did not answer Yuan Zong's question. After thinking for a while, he suddenly looked at Shan Rou who was stunned beside him and said, "Shan Rou, come over here and listen!"

"Ah? Yes!" Although Shanrou was a little surprised, she still obeyed Suning's call.

When Shanrou came and sat down beside him, Su Ning looked at Yuan Zong in front of him with a smile, "Senior, before answering your question, let me introduce you again!
My woman, Shanrou, is a disciple of Cao Qiudao, the sword master of Qi State.

He is also a member of the assassin organization formed by Cao Qiudao."

"what?"

Although Shanrou was surprised that Su Ning suddenly introduced his background, she did not overreact, but sat aside obediently.

"Senior, I think you should know that Cao Qiudao is the leader of the Qi Mo branch of the Mohists!"

"Yes! Yuan knows!" Yuan Zong looked at the "well-behaved" Shan Rou with a complicated expression.

"If Senior and Shanrou both believe that Su's dream can be realized, I hope you can help me!
I will go find the child of destiny. Shanrou will help me control the assassin organization in Cao Qiudao's hands, and then stay by my side to protect me and the future child of destiny."

"As for Senior Yuanzong, it would be best if you could completely integrate all the Mohists in the world. Of course, this is extremely difficult.

But at the very least, we must control more Mohists and go to various parts of Kyushu to gather intelligence.

Because this will be of great help to the unification of the world in the future!"
