"It's just that at that moment I felt that many of the things I cared about before were actually not important anymore." Ji Zhao called the waiter to bring him a wine bowl, "I just figured it out a little bit."

Han Shou smiled and said, "For example, your background?"

————This guy is also a sharp-tongued person. Ji Zhao has never met many people who can chat like him. Ji Zhao's birth is the pain of his original body's life. He is too humble and can't even pass the imperial examination.

Ji Zhao said: "It's impossible to say that I don't care, but I don't need to drink to drown my sorrows."

Han Shou looked at the wine bowl in front of Ji Zhao and asked, "Then why did you ask the waiter to bring you the wine bowl?"

Ji Zhao poured himself a glass of wine and repeated what he said at the beginning: "Drinking alone?"

Han Shou reacted, smiled slightly, and clinked glasses with Ji Zhao: "Now we are two people."

A crisp collision sound was heard, and turbid liquid poured into the stomach.

Ji Zhao felt the heat flowing down his throat and said, "You know, there are only three kinds of people in this world who drink."

"Which three?"

"I like to drink."

"It's natural."

"To accompany someone for a drink."

"Such as you."

"He was drinking to drown his sorrows."

"I see... this is me." Han Shou smiled, not sure whether it was sarcasm or self-mockery. "It seems that you know what I'm worried about."

Ji Zhao said: "Who else in Anchun County doesn't know?"

This is the truth. Logically speaking, Han Yi is the eldest son, and the family property must be given to him. However, this is a common people, not the palace. Although the identity of the eldest son is convenient on weekdays, it is not strange to pass it to the favorite illegitimate son if the difference between the two children is too great. After all, in the Yan Dynasty, illegitimate sons also have the right of inheritance, not to mention that Han Shou has a good appearance and temperament, and is a good candidate for martial arts.

"Heh..." Han Shou smiled, "Who asked you to come?"

Ji Zhao said: "You can guess."

"Then I'll make a guess." Han Shou crossed his arms, "Ji Bei doesn't care about this little thing of our family. The county magistrate is now afraid that the city will be broken and he will lose his head, so he will definitely not let anyone say such things. Even if the Liu family is looking for someone, they will never find you. In other words, either your second sister is crazy or you are crazy."

"Why are you crazy?"

"With a powerful enemy at hand, isn't it crazy to say such a thing?"

"It is precisely because we are facing a formidable enemy that we have to say this," Ji Zhao said. "Since ancient times, chaos has been the best time to speculate, make profits, seize power, and kill people."

"...I see. It seems that you are the one who has gone crazy." Han Shou stood up after a moment's silence. He looked at Ji Zhao and nodded slightly. "I know what you mean. I am not happy with the wine I drank today. I will treat you to a banquet after this matter is settled."

Volume 2: A Way Out of Poverty: Chapter 5: The First Martial Arts

In fact, Ji Zhao thought about whether he should find a way to hint to Han Shou that Liu Wei's heart was on the right side. In this way, according to the original plot, Han Shou might be able to stab Liu Wei to death... But after thinking about it carefully, he decisively gave up.

Firstly, he had no way of making Han Shou believe him, nor could he explain the source of the information.

Secondly, the city had already been breached when Liu Wei entered. Even if he was stabbed to death, the Black Knights who had already entered the city would not care about it.

Thirdly, looking at the amount of blood Liu Wei had lost at that time, Ji Zhao had reason to suspect that Han Shou's small dagger would not kill him even if it stabbed his heart...

No matter how you look at it, maintaining the original plot is a stupid choice, but Ji Zhao is not in a position to give more reminders for the time being.

[“I hope he can turn the tables.”]4

Ji Zhao regained his composure and stopped in front of a martial arts school.

He still wanted to practice some martial arts, no matter how confident he was in his fighting skills, but in this world, martial arts was the answer to the version————and the benefits of Ji Zhao's martial arts and skills were completely different!

This martial arts school is called Wu'an. There are at least 200 martial arts schools with this name in Yan area. However, this one is more legitimate because the owner of this martial arts school, Lu Yushi, is An Chun's predecessor Wu'an.

Now, the sounds of militia training can be heard from the martial arts hall. The regular army of Qingzhou has been mobilized to fight with the Ning people on the front line. Many of those defending the city now are the remaining civilians in Anchun County. These people lack military training, so they were sent to Zhao Yu, who runs the martial arts hall, to train. However, the intensity is very low. This is to prevent them from being attacked by the Black Cavalry due to lack of physical strength due to excessive training. Generally speaking, it is mostly for psychological comfort. However, at this time, the psychological comfort given by the authority is actually the most important. After all, the opponents are just a bunch of bandits with no official qualifications. ⒋

Ji Zhao pushed the door open and walked in. His movements were very small, and everyone in the martial arts hall was training with their backs to him. In addition, the noise they made during training was quite loud, so for a moment, except for Lu Yushi and his eldest disciple who were facing Ji Zhao, no one noticed that Ji Zhao had walked in.

Lu Yushi had only met Ji Zhao a few times, and his memory was not as good as Han Shou's, so he didn't recognize him for a while. However, his senior disciple next to him saw the bandage on Ji Zhao's head, remembered something, and whispered to his master.

"It's the kid from the Ji family..." Lu Yushi was a little confused, "Haoying, go and listen to what he is talking about. Could it be that Ji Wuan wants to see me for something?"

The eldest disciple Zhang Haoying responded, walked around the sweaty young men, and came to Ji Zhao. His attitude was quite polite: "Little brother Ji, is Ji Wuan asking you to pass on a message?"

"No." Ji Zhao smiled, "I just want to learn boxing."

Zhang Haoying was stunned on the spot. He had seen how Ji Zhao fought against the enemy that day, so he could recognize him now. As for Ji Zhao's performance, he could only say that he was courageous. If nothing unexpected happened, he could consume the wear and tear of the opponent's weapon... Other than that, it would be better to learn boxing five years earlier. As for now, it's better not to cause trouble. What if he thinks he has learned it and insists on going into battle, and ends up putting the enemy in danger and distracting Ji Bei, so that something bad happens, that would be really...

With this thought in mind, Zhang Haoying earnestly advised: "Brother Ji, learning boxing is not a one-day job. You are injured now, so you should take good care of yourself first."

Ji Zhao shook his head: "Brother Zhang, I don't want to learn their boxing... I have practiced internal skills."

Zhang Haoying was stunned for a moment. Ji Zhao said that he had learned internal skills. He must want to learn martial arts that can only be used with internal energy. "Are you trying to learn Storm Attack?"

Storm Attack is the only martial art in Wu'an Hall.

Ji Zhao said: "That's right."

Zhang Haoying said seriously: "Brother Ji, the rules of a martial arts school are different from those of a sect. There are not so many rules and regulations. Many people also think that a martial arts school is a place where you can learn martial arts as long as you pay money, and you can come and go as you please. But the law is not easily passed on. Your sister should have taught you this. If you want to pass on martial arts, the owner must assess the disciple's character, root bone and comprehension, and only after confirming that there is no problem can you teach him. You are not even a disciple of our martial arts school..."

Ji Zhao seemed to have not understood the seriousness of Zhang Haoying's words at all. He smiled and took out a purse from his arms: "I brought money."

"That's not the case..." Zhang Haoying said helplessly, "Forget it, I'll go talk to Master."

He turned around and went to Lu Yushi, whispered a few words to him, and told him what had happened.

"So that's how it is..." Lu Yushi stroked his beard, "The third son of the Ji family went to defend the city on his own initiative that day. He had good intentions, but his ability was too weak. I think he pestered his eldest sister, so he set his sights on me. But his situation is not just a matter of martial arts... This boy has a complicated background. I'm afraid he has developed a self-abased and strong character since he was a child. If I don't allow him to do this, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. Now that there are foreign enemies around, I can't let Ji Wuan be distracted by such a small matter. So, Haoying, take him to the side yard, play a few rounds of Storm Fight, and then pass it on to him."

"Ah?" Zhang Haoying was surprised. "The true teaching?"

Lu Yushi smiled helplessly, "Since he wants to learn, just teach him. However, you don't need to explain the difficult points to him. Just practice a few times and tell him the route of the internal energy. But don't teach him falsely, so as not to damage the reputation of our martial arts school. If he has any questions, just say that it can only be understood but not explained. Find some similar excuses to prevaricate and let him figure it out by himself. In this way, even if he asks Ji Wuan, Ji Wuan will understand."

Zhang Haoying slowly understood: "But, what if he really learns it?"

Lu Yu Shi glared but was too lazy to answer the stupid question. Zhang Haoying also came to his senses. Although Storm Strike was not a particularly advanced martial art, it did require a lot of physical coordination from the practitioner. He was only a half-baked pro, and yet he tried to teach others. Not only did he teach them, but he also hid it. If Ji Zhao could learn it, it would be incredible.

With this thought in mind, Zhang Haoying immediately ran to Ji Zhao and said, "Brother Ji, my master has agreed. Please come with me."

Ji Zhao was a little surprised when he heard this. Since the other party suddenly agreed to this matter, all the excuses he had prepared were in vain.

[“Is this considering Ji Bei?”]

Ji Zhao was a little confused, but at this critical moment, they were in the city, so he was not afraid of any conspiracy or tricks from the other party. He immediately followed the other party to the side courtyard, and was considerate enough not to ask Lu Yushi why he was willing to tell him about the storm fight.

Zhang Haoying was also a poor talker, otherwise he wouldn't have to say "I'll go talk to Master" when faced with that kind of situation. Now he hadn't even made up a good excuse. Seeing that Ji Zhao didn't ask, he was secretly happy in his heart. He didn't give Ji Zhao a chance to speak and went straight to the point.

Volume 2: Finding a Way Out of a Poor Life: Chapter 6 Revision

Storm Strike, as the name suggests, is a martial art that is like a violent storm. Practitioners need to divide their internal energy into multiple parts according to a certain pattern and attack in accordance with their own attack rhythm. It is a martial art that requires a certain degree of suppression and must be able to control the rhythm of the battle in their own hands to be effective.

Zhang Haoying took Ji Zhao to the side courtyard, and simply said "watch this", then he mobilized his internal energy and launched a set of violent attacks on the wooden man.

Of course, this is just a form. The difference between martial arts and fighting skills lies in that martial arts require not only a form, but also the route of the internal breath. Both are indispensable.

"Have you written it down?" Zhang Haoying asked. This question is actually a difficult one. The difference between the secret book and oral transmission is apparent at the very beginning. If there is no secret book, one can only rely on memory to memorize it. But how can one play it once and then ask others if they have written it down?

But Ji Zhao said, "I've written it down."

【“…The dead duck is still stubborn.”】

After writing this down, Zhang Haoying was at a loss as to what to say. He swallowed down all the prepared remarks... After writing it down again, if he had spoken like this when Lu Yushi was demonstrating to him, he would have been slapped on the back of the head, with a sentence like "You fucking remembered nothing".

It's like someone puts a dice into a dice cup, then puts three empty dice cups next to it, and then moves the four dice cups in a dizzying manner for five minutes. It finally stops, and when the viewer is sure that he has found the dice cup with the dice, the person who did it will say this.

————Please repeat what I just did.

————How the hell can this be done?

Zhang Haoying, who had been somewhat worried that Baofeng would be leaked for no reason, was now completely relieved and turned to explain to Ji Zhao the route of the internal energy.

This time, Ji Zhao did not remain silent. After Zhang Haoying finished talking about the circulation of internal energy, he took the initiative to ask:

"Why does the second fight's inner breath have to go through Tianze?"

In this world, in addition to acupuncture points, each meridian also has a name. I didn’t remember it clearly in my previous life, but after Ji Zhao reviewed it, I remember it very clearly now.

According to Lu Yushi's instructions, Zhang Haoying should have avoided the topic and said something like "it can only be understood but not expressed in words", but Ji Zhao's question was very practical and he couldn't help but answer it.

It's like if someone comes with a reading comprehension and asks you 'What does the author express in this paragraph', it's easy to be mysterious, but if someone comes with a science question, then if you know it, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it, and it's hard to fool people. What's more, Zhang Haoying is a poor talker and couldn't think of how to get around it. Coupled with the sentence 'I've written it down' just now, he didn't think from the bottom of his heart that Ji Zhao could really learn it, so he just answered Ji Zhao honestly.

"Of course, it's to facilitate the first hit, Qu You."

"If we want to take the first hit, wouldn't it be better to use the internal energy from Zhelong?" Ji Zhao asked, "And the book says that Zhelong's five elements are gold, and its pulse is the main pulse. Its sharp edge can break armor, and using internal energy to stimulate it will be more powerful than Quyou, who belongs to the earth."

Zhang Haoying laughed when he heard this: "Brother Ji, you asked a good question. I asked Master this question at that time... Look at the third move. This move is to connect with Fenggu. If you connect with Zhelong in the second move, and the internal energy wants to go to Fenggu again, it will be a big circle in vain. Moreover, with the explosive power of normal internal energy, after going around in a circle like this, it is definitely not possible to connect with the fourth move."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Haoying felt something was wrong again… He had studied for more than half a month before he had this question, but how come Ji Zhao had it right away? And looking at him, could it be that he really memorized the route of his internal energy?

Just as he was thinking this, Ji Zhao said, "Then why don't we switch to Fenggu in the third fight, and switch to Tianshui directly, and then switch to Cangfeng, isn't that better?"

Zhang Haoying shook his head, but did not think deeply: "The internal energy cannot flow randomly. If the five elements of the meridians conflict with each other, the internal energy will be disordered, and it is common to go astray or even explode and die. Brother Ji, your sister should have taught you this. If not, how could it be so difficult to create martial arts and internal strength? Don't think you are smart and go astray."

Ji Zhao didn't say much, just smiled and said, "Brother Zhang is right. I understand."

After that, Ji Zhao really never mentioned the matter again. He studied seriously and sincerely for half a morning. Then when it was almost time for lunch, he left after paying the tuition fee, saying that he was exhausted.

Zhang Haoying felt really embarrassed to accept the tuition fee. He was an honest man and didn't think Ji Zhao could learn anything from him. But since the other party stayed, he didn't have the right to dispose of the money. He handed the money to Lu Yushi and told him what happened in the morning.

"Change the internal breath running route of martial arts... Hehe." Lu Yushi smiled and shook his head. Almost every martial artist has this idea, but the running route affects the whole body, how can it be changed easily? "This kid is really... However, leaving this money is also considered to be thoughtful. I will just ask him which ones he changed. Tell me, in case the five elements of the meridians conflict, we will give a warning to avoid any mistakes."

Zhang Haoying said: "He said, second fight Jie Zhe Long, third fight Tian Shui, fourth fight Cang Feng."

"Wow." Lu Yushi couldn't help but laugh. "This kid is really brave. He changed the routes of three meridians at the beginning. Hmm, Zhelong, Tianshui, Cangfeng. If he doesn't change it next, it will be Canqiu... The five elements are fine, but the meridian master is in conflict. If he uses his internal energy like this, he will probably get a little hurt."

Zhang Haoying asked, "Do you want me to remind him?"

Lu Yushi shook his head: "No, this is just right, a small loss will teach him a lesson, so that he won't mess around in the future and cause any big troubles..."

He paused, with a look of emotion on his face, and said: "Haoying, changing martial arts and techniques is just like gambling. It is not something that ordinary people can play. Instead of letting you make money, it is better to lose from the beginning to stop thinking about it."

Zhang Haoying nodded: "Disciple understands."

Lu Yu Shi waved his hand without saying much, and spent the entire afternoon in training.

At nightfall, Lu Yu Shi finished washing up and lay on the bed to practice his internal energy for a while. When his internal energy flowed through Tianshui, his expression moved slightly.

[“No, the Tianshui and Cangfeng meridians are both in harmony, which can smooth out the disharmony between Zhelong and Tianshui. Moreover, Cangfeng meridian is very close to Canqiu. In this way, the next burst seems to be able to be faster...?”]

The man frowned and shook his head.

【“I’m thinking about something… Let’s go to bed early.”】

Although I thought so, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. I kept thinking about these three meridians until a hint of dawn appeared in the sky.

The next morning, Zhang Haoying was still asleep when he was awakened by the fierce knocking on the door. Even an honest man could not stand this kind of thing. He gritted his teeth and got out of bed, thinking that if it wasn't the Black Knights attacking the city, he would curse at whoever was on the other side...

With a creak, the door was opened. Lu Yu Shi outside had bloodshot eyes and obvious dark circles under his eyes. He refused to explain anything more and just said this coldly.

"Come with me."

Volume 2: A Poor Life and a Way Out: Chapter 7: Promise

Zhang Haoying didn't understand what he meant, but he quickly changed his clothes and came to the martial arts hall. Lu Yushi was standing in the middle. When he saw him coming, he said in a deep voice: "Come on, use a set of storm strikes, hit me."

Zhang Haoying thought that Lu Yushi wanted to test the results of his practice, so he responded immediately and activated his internal energy to attack. However, he did not expect that the other party also used his internal energy to activate the first blow of the storm.

boom!

A crisp collision sound was heard. In terms of internal energy, Zhang Haoying was naturally no match for Lu Yu Shi, but the latter seemed to intentionally control his strength. In this attack, both sides were equally matched and neither gained an advantage. The two sides immediately started the second fight.

boom!

This time, Lu Yushi's attack was half a point faster and a little more powerful, but the internal energy fluctuations around him were very stable, and it was obvious that he did not suddenly increase his strength. Zhang Haoying had been practicing this set of storm attacks for almost five years, and he naturally understood that his master had changed his meridians. He estimated that it was the dragon-breaking attack that Ji Zhao mentioned yesterday, but this was not enough to establish the advantage of victory. Instead, the next...

Before the thoughts in his mind were fully developed, the third, fourth and fifth blows came one after another. The internal energy fluctuations around Lu Yu Shi were still very stable, but the attacks were getting faster and heavier each time, causing Zhang Haoying's expression to change again and again. After the fifth blow, Zhang Haoying's posture had completely collapsed. At this time, if Lu Yu Shi wanted to take his life, he only needed to raise his internal energy to hit him for the sixth time.

"this......?!"

Zhang Haoying couldn't help but lose his voice.

"It's the route that the third son of the Ji family told me yesterday." Lu Yushi withdrew his hand, his eyes dim, and his voice was a little tired. "I didn't use more internal energy, and even used less than you. Moreover, I am not familiar with this route... Do you understand, Haoying?"

"No... no way?" Zhang Haoying was a little bit incredulous. "Master, you mean, as soon as he started practicing, he found a better way to circulate his inner energy?"

Lu Yushi sighed, "What else can I do? I thought about it all night last night, and today I had sex with you. Doesn't this prove the superiority of this inner breath operation route?"

"But..." Zhang Haoying seemed a little overwhelmed, and even stuttered, "But his steps are weak, and his internal strength is very poor. Ji Wuan is a rule-abiding person, so it is impossible for him to privately teach him the martial arts of Luohe Pavilion. In other words, he has no experience in practicing martial arts, so how can he change the storm attack all of a sudden... From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of such a thing!"

Storm Strike is not a particularly advanced martial art, and there are many people in the world who can modify it, but it is impossible that such an inexperienced newbie is among them!

"Haoying, you are wrong." Lu Yushi sighed, "There was a person who did this before. He even exaggerated it a lot. He didn't even have any internal energy at that time. He only read a few books and then instructed a warrior to modify the internal energy running route to help him defeat the enemy. And that person was also hit on the head not long ago."

Zhang Haoying's mind went blank, almost completely stopped functioning, and he couldn't even come up with the obvious answer. He subconsciously asked, "Who?"
