Chapter 47: Draw the sword and there will be blood!

Although Chen Wu is just a small-time guard, he is also a skilled fighter who can beat seven or eight members of the Tang family.

These people were considered elite in the Wuwei Yamen, how could they be driven away so easily?
Tang Wenbo looked at the handwriting and signature on the scroll and was in a trance for a moment.

"Brother Yuan, is this true?"

Chen Wu's shoulders were shaking, and he tried his best to suppress his emotions.

His Chen family was a family of military guards for generations, and he joined the military guard office to take over his father's position.

Is this position of Wuwei going to be destroyed in his hands?
"After what happened last night, can you still return to the Wuwei Yamen?" Zhang Yuan's words made Chen Wu's face pale.

fight.

Offending the Tang family.

He was sent to the prison in the city.

Chen Wu had brought shame to the Wuwei Yamen, so he was expelled from the Yamen.

He was wrong.

Zhang Yuan asked him to think about where he went wrong. He shouldn't have taken action last night...

So what if he has martial arts skills? He is just a small guard. How can he offend the big families in the city?

Zhang Yuan didn't look at Chen Wu's changing expression, and calmly folded the paper roll in his hand.

"Haha, after skinning the black dog, this guy can't even be a dog." The Tang family member standing by only reacted at this moment, with an arrogant and complacent look on his face.

"See? What's the Wuwei Yamen like? How dare they offend my Tang family?"

"Aren't you a good fighter? I'll beat you up when I see you next time. Without that black dog skin, I'll beat you to death just like I'll kill a stray dog!"

Those Tang family members were shouting, but Chen Wu ignored them.

He just clenched his fists, lowered his head and said nothing.

He didn't know what was the right thing to do.

What’s the point of practicing martial arts?

Could this be the lesson Brother Yuan wants to teach me?
Let yourself see the world clearly and see how much you are worth.

However, Brother Yuan and Master Tao did not teach them this way in the academy before.

Brother Yuan always says that when faced with a difficult situation, just ask the knife in your hand...

Tang Wenbo glanced at Chen Wu and slowly looked at Zhang Yuan.

I thought the Wuwei Yamen would be tougher, but I didn't expect it to be just like this.

I was angry before that the Wuwei Yamen only sent an eighth-rank black robe guard to apologize. Now I think that the Wuwei Yamen is clearly backing down and letting the Tang family deal with it.

No wonder the eighth-rank soap-robed guard in front of him had such an attitude just now. It turned out that he had given up on Chen Wu.

In that case——

Tang Wenbo narrowed his eyes, a cold look in his eyes: "Where is the hundred taels of silver for the medicine?"

One hundred taels of silver is ten years' salary for a small black uniform guard.

He didn't believe Chen Wu could produce it.

His Tang family didn't really want the hundred taels of silver. What Third Master Tang wanted was to establish his authority!
His Tang family was a prominent family in the city, with officials, businessmen, and land.

However, the Qin Dynasty relied on martial arts to establish its way. Ever since the death of his second brother who was in the late postnatal realm, there were countless people in the city who wanted to step on his Tang family.

Now that the head of the family is about to be promoted to the seventh-rank county lord, the power of his Tang family in the past should also return!

"As for the hundred taels of silver—"

Zhang Yuan's face was calm. He raised his hand to hold the whistle stick and reached to his waist with one hand.

“Clang—”

The long sword is unsheathed.

"what are you doing--"

"What does this mean—"

The Tang family members shouted in panic.

Tang Wenbo's arms trembled and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

Zhang Yuan twisted the hilt of the sword with both hands, transforming it into a meter-long sword.

"This sword has been with me for five years. It's worth a hundred taels of silver. I'll leave it to the Tang family first!"

A long sword pressing down is worth a hundred taels of silver?

Tang Wenbo's palm trembled, and he almost swung it down heavily to attract the guards to come forward.

Why were you so nervous when you said it earlier?
The Tang family members' faces twitched. They thought they were going to fight, but it turned out to be just a knife attack.

Behind Zhang Yuan, Chen Wu widened his eyes and stared at the knife in Zhang Yuan's hand.

He knew what this knife meant to Zhang Yuan!
This is the knife Zhang Yuan brought back from Toyota County. He has never let outsiders touch it in the past five years.

This sword represents the memory of that bloody battle, and also represents Zhang Yuan’s martial arts heritage!
For a hundred taels of silver, would you trade this knife?

impossible!
Because Zhang Yuan didn't take off the sword, he drew it!

When Zhang Yuan taught Chen Wu the first lesson on swordsmanship, he told him that whenever he drew his sword, blood would be drawn!

If you draw your sword in front of outsiders, it means you are determined to kill.

If a warrior does not have a firm enough belief and can retract his drawn sword at will, he will not go far on the path of martial arts.

The blade is the mind.

If you don't have the intention to kill, how can you draw your sword?

Every word Zhang Yuan said surfaced in Chen Wu's mind.

The energy and blood that had been condensed in his body slowly relaxed.

He didn't know what Zhang Yuan was going to do, but he knew that he would do whatever Zhang Yuan asked him to do today.

From the nervousness when he first came to the Tang family, to the anger, to the relaxation now, Chen Wu's state of mind has changed.

He wanted to see what Zhang Yuan was going to teach him in his last lesson.

"A broken sword, and you dare say it's worth a hundred taels——"

The young man of the Tang family showed disdain on his face. Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yuan turned around and swung his arm. The long sword whistled and flew out from the front door of the hall and stabbed into the screen wall of the Tang family courtyard three meters away.

"Bam—"

The blade penetrated the wall three feet and came out through it.

The hilt of the knife vibrated and hummed like thunder!

This slash of the knife made the Tang family members dare not even breathe.

The force of this swing of the knife must be a thousand pounds, right?

"If you say one hundred taels, it's one hundred taels."

Zhang Yuan glanced at Tang Wenbo and spoke coldly.

In the hall, the expressions of the Tang family members changed.

Tang Wenbo's face was gloomy.

He had already seen that the martial arts level revealed by this sword was at least the middle stage of the acquired realm.

Even more than that!

No wonder the Wuwei Yamen sent this person to the Tang family.

He thought that the Wuwei Yamen was sending their faces to the Tang family to be beaten, but he was wrong.

This is a slap in the face of the Tang family!

The Wuwei Yamen didn't send a seventh-rank official in black robes, nor did they send a sergeant. Instead, they only sent a mere eighth-rank official in black robes, and they were able to take control of the Tang family!
On the one hand, the Wuwei Yamen gave up Chen Wu, so that outsiders would see that it was surrendering to the Tang family and winning sympathy.

But on the other hand, an eighth-grade Zaoyi Guard in the middle stage of the acquired realm was used to put pressure on the Tang family.

Is this what they call combining kindness and severity?

Is the Wuwei Yamen using the same official tactics on his Tang family?
Looking at Zhang Yuan's calm expression, Tang Wenbo felt that the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed.

If the strong men of the Tang family were still here today, and his second brother was still here, would this mere black-robed guard dare to draw his sword?

"Hmph, a mere eighth-rank guard dares to run wild in my Tang family." The Tang family member standing beside the hall looked up at Tang Wenbo, "Third brother, you really don't take you and your eldest brother seriously."

"Yeah, he's already drawn his sword. This isn't an apology, it's clearly a threat!" A fellow who was covering half of his face echoed.

With a wave of his hand, Tang Wenbo shouted, "Someone come here!"

As his voice fell, the Tang family guards who were already preparing not far away rushed over and blocked Zhang Yuan and Chen Wu's way.

The two doormen had been observing for a long time. They quickly closed the door and rushed over with two long sticks in their hands. They had fierce expressions on their faces and glanced at Zhang Yuan and Chen Wu's legs, as if they would break their legs with just a command.

Tang Bo stood on the stone steps with his hands behind his back, anger surging on his face: "I thought you were really coming to my Tang family to apologize, but I didn't expect you were here to slap my Tang family in the face?"

Zhang Yuan and Chen Wu’s cultivation is not weak, but so what?

This is the Tang family. Some of them are guards, and some are strong and healthy family members.

The head of the Tang family is about to become a seventh-rank county lord. This is the confidence of the Tang family!

"Break their legs and send them to the Wuwei Yamen. Say they came to my Tang family to cause trouble and damaged property. Make a list and make them pay for the rest of their lives!"
