Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"who are you?"

The young man, with unsteady steps and pale face, hid behind the few remaining guards in fear.

Song Xuan looked him up and down and said indifferently, "Do you still remember what you did last night?"

As soon as these words came out, the young man's face changed drastically. He hurriedly said, "Is it that bitch who's looking for you for revenge? Whatever benefit did she promise you, I'll pay you double, no, I'll give you ten times!"

Song Xuan sneered, "You can't afford the reward she'll pay you for her life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xuan suddenly clenched his palm, and the paper umbrella in his hand exploded. In an instant, pieces of paper shot out like blades, cutting the few remaining guards in the yard into pieces in an instant!

"Mr. Zhou, save me, save me!"

The young county magistrate had more than a dozen pieces of paper stuck in his body. Although he looked miserable, he did not die immediately. Instead, he lay in a pool of blood and kept shouting towards a room.

The room was silent, as if no one was there.

But Song Xuan stood there, staring at the place coldly, and said indifferently: "You have been hiding for so long, why don't you come out?"

squeak~

The sound of the door being pushed open was heard, and the next moment, an old man in black walked out with a serious expression.

He didn't even look at the corpse lying on the ground or the county magistrate's son who was still wailing, but stared at Song Xuan with great fear.

"Your Excellency is very powerful. I do not want to fight with you."

He pointed at the county magistrate lying on the ground and said, "You want to kill him, and I won't stop you. How about we keep our distance?"

Song Xuan shook his head and said, "I promised someone that none of the damned ones will be able to escape."

"Looks like there's nothing more to talk about?"

The old man in black had a grim expression on his face, "I'm Zhou Tailai, the Sky-Splitting Hand. I've been walking the martial arts world for decades. Although you're powerful, even if you can kill me, you might still get hurt!

Is it worth it for a common woman?"

Song Xuan didn't say anything, his right hand was already grasping the hilt of the sword. The murderous intent in his eyes made Zhou Tailai feel that he was starting to have difficulty breathing.

"In that case, let me die!"

Zhou Tailai took the first step, transforming his palms into claws, with his five fingers like hooks, and his fingertips emitting a creepy luster. One could vaguely see dark internal energy lingering from his fingertips.

This person's claw skills were so amazing that they could even make a tearing sound in the air. He leaped high like a roc and reached towards Song Xuan's throat with one claw.

There is no doubt that if this claw falls on a person, it can directly grab the person's throat.

Swish!

Song Xuan's figure was like a ghost. In a flash of light and shadow, his figure flew out several feet strangely and avoided the opponent's claw that could pierce gold and split stone within a close distance.

Clang!

The sound of a long sword being unsheathed was heard.

Zhou Tailai's claw missed and he was startled. Before he could steady himself and change his moves, he heard the sound of a sword. He looked up hurriedly and saw a red rainbow light.

scoff!

A red light flashed across his body, and Zhou Tailai froze, standing there in a daze, staring at the long sword at Song Xuan's waist, which had been unsheathed and sheathed at some point in time.

"Sword Qi?"

Zhou Tailai's hoarse voice sounded.

Song Xuan nodded.

"I see......"

Zhou Tailai's eyes showed a look of relief. Being able to slash out with sword energy was a skill only possessed by innate warriors. It was not a wasted life to die under the sword of such a master.

boom!

The next moment, his body, with his eyebrows as the center, from top to bottom to his crotch, was torn apart with a "swish". The sword energy just now had cut him in half.

It is perfectly symmetrical, even the ox under its crotch is the same.

After the sword cut the body into pieces, Song Xuan's murderous intent subsided a little. He turned his head to look at the county magistrate's son on the ground, but saw that the man's consciousness had become blurred due to excessive bleeding.

"Cousin~~"

At this moment, Victoria Song led Lin Daiyu over, and the little cousin asked nervously, "Can I kill this scumbag?"

Song Xuan looked at her with some surprise. Is this really the Lin Daiyu who was sad about the passing of spring and autumn and buried flowers and shed tears?

"not afraid?"

Lin Daiyu did not answer, but proved herself with practical actions.

She picked up a long knife from the ground, held the knife with trembling hands, aimed for a while, and finally stabbed the county magistrate's son in the chest.

After doing this, she loosened her hands, walked to the side with a pale face, and gasped for breath.

Song Xuan walked up to her, and Lin Daiyu forced a smile. "Now we are in the same boat. Cousin, you don't have to worry about me leaking things out."

Song Xuan waved his hand, "You think too much. I don't suspect that you will tell on me in the future."

Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "My cousin trusts me, that's because he's broad-minded, but I also have to be sensible and do what I have to do."

Song Xuan looked at her deeply, then looked up at the rain curtain connecting the sky and the earth, and couldn't help but smile.

"Let's go. We still have to keep going today. If we don't go back now, Lin Pingzhi will probably be waiting anxiously."

Victoria Song asked, "Brother, this scumbag is acting so recklessly, and he's surrounded by a bunch of evil slaves. It's obvious that the county governor is not a good person either. How can he just let them go like this?"

Song Xuan shook his head. "It will take several days to get to the county town. It's too late now. I'll write down the account first and make time later..."

Song Xuan paused, then said with murderous intent, "When I have time later, I will kill his entire family!"

......

After the rain, there was a hint of dampness in the air.

Song Xuan stood on the slightly damp deck, watching the ship slowly sail away from the shore, feeling the fishy smell mixed in the sea breeze and the fragrance of flowers, plants and trees on the shore. He couldn't help feeling refreshed and felt like his whole body was empty.

After each battle, his understanding of martial arts became clearer, and he even felt that there was some connection between his mind and the world.

He had some kind of enlightenment. When his entire mind could be completely integrated into the surrounding world to a subtle degree, that would be the day he entered the innate realm.

Song Qian stood with her hands behind her back, her black robe fluttering in the wind. She stood aside and looked at Song Xuan, a cold aura emanating from her, preventing anyone from approaching.

During my brother's epiphany, no one can get close to him!

Even if she’s my little cousin in the same boat, it won’t work!

This stop lasted for more than two hours. When Song Xuan regained his composure, it was already completely dark.

The cold aura on Song Qian's body instantly subsided, and she showed a brilliant smile and said, "Brother, I'm hungry, I want to eat barbecue."

"it is good!"

Song Xuan smiled gently and turned to look at Lin Pingzhi in the distance, "Pingzhi, bring over the barbecue grill I made two days ago. Also, have someone send over two more jars of wine."

Chapter 42 My Brother Will Marry One Hundred Wives

Lin Pingzhi is an honest young man.

The grill was quickly set up, the charcoal stove was placed, and various vegetables and beef and mutton were prepared. Then, without Song Xuan saying anything, they started grilling happily.

Song Xuan praised him, "You are a person who knows how to live a good life. I think you will be a good husband in the future."

Lin Pingzhi felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and blushed slightly as he said, "Brother Xuan is obviously not an ordinary person. He must be very popular among the girls in Didu, right?"

Song Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "Young man, you have good taste. I'll invite you to listen to music in the brothel someday when I'm free."

"How can I let Brother Song treat us? I'll treat you. It has to be me!"

After saying this, he felt something was wrong and found that Song Qian and Lin Daiyu were looking at them with disgust.

He panicked and explained quickly, "That's not what I meant. Actually, I haven't been to that place either..."

"You care too much about what others think!"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Although your Lin family is engaged in business, the escort agency is different from ordinary merchants. It needs to deal with people from both the black and white worlds. It is half business and half underworld.

In your line of work, you can listen to other people's opinions, but you can't believe them completely. You can consider other people's views, but you can't care too much about them.

If you care too much about others, you will lose yourself. If your behavior is always affected by the opinions of others, then what is the meaning of life?

Lin Pingzhi seemed to be thinking about it, but finally shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Simply put, just follow your heart when doing things. As for right and wrong, it is sometimes difficult to judge."

"Follow your heart? Does that mean I can do whatever makes me happy, and if anyone provokes me, I will retaliate?"

"I guess so." Song Xuan smiled.

Lin Daiyu said, "Cousin, you said we should follow our heart. It's easy to say, but hard to do. How can we live without any restraint in this world?

Even the emperor of heaven has things he wants to do but can't, right? "

"Just because the Emperor can't do it doesn't mean my brother can't do it!"

Victoria Song took a bite of the skewer and swallowed while mumbling, "I'm telling you, cousin, my brother is going to be number one in the world. When he's invincible, he can do whatever he wants. Even if he marries a hundred wives, no one will dare to say a word!"

Song Xuan looked at her with a mixture of anger and amusement, "Eating can't stop your mouth. Even if I had a strong kidney, I couldn't marry so many wives."

"Yeah!" Song Qian nodded and said, "One hundred is indeed a bit too many, three or five will be enough, but our Song family has been a single-line family for generations, and the responsibility of continuing the family line still depends on you, brother."

Watching the brother and sister chatting and laughing, Lin Pingzhi felt a little envious. "Brother Song, you two must be very well-known in the imperial city, right? Can I ask, what do you do for a living?"

"I work in the government office." Song Xuan took a sip of wine and said casually.

"People from the government." Lin Pingzhi said with a smile: "My father always told me to interact more with people in the government. I didn't expect to meet you by chance.

Brother Song, if I run into trouble in the capital, can I ask you for help? "

"We're all friends, it's awkward to say that."

Song Xuan pointed at Song Qian and said, "If you encounter any problems in the imperial capital in the future, just mention your sister Qian's name, and it will definitely work."

"what?"

Lin Pingzhi was stunned. "Sister Qian is so powerful, she also works in the government office?"

"Ok!"

Song Xuan pulled off a piece of lamb leg, took a bite, and said, "Speaking of which, we are going to the Jiangzhe Prefecture to take up our posts this time. I guess we may not stay in the imperial capital for the next few years.

I'm afraid the imperial capital won't be able to help much, but around Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they still have some influence."

Lin Pingzhi said excitedly, "Our Lin family also has quite a few properties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture, and it's not far from the Fuwei Escort Agency headquarters. If you, Brother Song, were to take up your post there, it would be much easier for us to keep in touch in the future."

"By the way, Brother Song, where is your government office? I'll come visit you guys after this escort mission is over."

"You probably don't want to go."

Victoria Song laughed and said, "Xuanyiwei Yamen, do you dare to go?"

"what?"

Lin Pingzhi was stunned, then smiled awkwardly. His originally relaxed body immediately sat up straight, and he looked at Song Xuan with some awe.

"Brother Song, are you a Xuanyi Guard?"

"Yes! Are you scared?"

"A little bit." Lin Pingzhi's smile was a bit forced. "I always thought that the Xuanyi Guards were all fierce and vicious. I didn't expect that Brother Song would be such a gentle person."

"The Xuanyi Guards are also human beings, not as scary as you think. Relatively speaking, we mainly target those in the underworld and the officialdom.

As for ordinary people, we will not make things difficult for them."

"Is that so..." Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "I don't know much about the Xuanyi Guard. I only know that it's an organization that can stop children from crying. But after hearing what you said, Brother Song, it seems that they are easier to deal with than those other government agencies."

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "What I said may not be right. You need to judge for yourself whether it is good or not. You can't just believe everything others say.

Sometimes what you hear is not necessarily true, and what you see is not necessarily true.

Before you act, think carefully about the consequences and don't act impulsively, causing disaster for yourself and your family."

Lin Pingzhi felt that there was something else behind Song Xuan's words, as if he was hinting at something.

But after thinking it over carefully, he realized that he had not acted impulsively or caused trouble during this period, and he had also begun to try to take over the family business and learn how to deal with people, so he should not have made any mistakes.

At the moment he just smiled, thinking that since Brother Song worked in the government office, he probably just liked preaching and was not necessarily hinting at anything.
