Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"Come with me. If we find any problems with the accounts, don't blame me for arresting you on the spot!"

Song Xuan chuckled, and with a flicker of his body, he disappeared from the spot.

Scarface's face changed when he saw this, and he immediately urged his innate true energy to form a blue halo outside his body. Then the long sword at his waist was instantly unsheathed, and he instinctively chopped backwards with the sword.

However, just as he drew his sword from its sheath, he heard the innate true qi that formed a defensive circle outside his body burst like a bubble with a "pop".

Scarface was horrified when he saw a slender and powerful hand had pinched his neck at some point. A despairing and terrifying energy rushed into his body, making his body unable to move.

Holding the man's neck with one hand and lifting him in the air, Song Xuan's voice was indescribably cold.

"Do you think I gave you face?!"

With his neck pinched, Scarface found it extremely difficult to breathe, his head began to feel dizzy, and even his eyes began to turn white.

"Sir, calm down!"

In the Judgment Department, a man in his thirties hurried out and said anxiously, "Sir Song, my captain is not very good at speaking. I hope you can forgive me for any offense I have caused!"

Song Xuan didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

The man said tactfully, "Don't worry, sir. The inventory is just a formality. We will load the ship and leave tomorrow. We won't cause you any trouble at all."

Song Xuan hummed, threw the scarred captain to the ground, and said lightly: "Get lost!"

Having said that, he walked back to the hall without looking back, sat on the armchair and drank tea lazily.

The captain got up from the ground and glared at the place where Song Xuan left with some humiliation.

Although he felt resentment in his heart, he did not dare to show it at all.

Although they were both in the innate realm, he felt that the difference in strength was even greater than the difference between innate and acquired. In the hands of the other party, his innate state was like a fake, and he had no ability to fight back at all.

Gasping for breath, he waved his hand at the strange-looking Judgment Department staff behind him, "Let's go!"

A large group of people swarmed in and then left in disgrace. The captain Xu Sanshan, who was arranged by Song Xuan to take over, was amiable before, but after witnessing the unparalleled power of his master, he immediately walked in front with an arrogant attitude.

"The warehouse is just ahead, so don't mess it up, or my master will blame you and kill you!"

In response to Xu Sanshan's sarcasm, Scarface snorted coldly without saying anything. He took his men into the warehouse and started checking the accounts.

The warehouse was very large, and the treasures worth ten billion taels of silver filled up most of the warehouse. The treasure chests shining with jewels and gold were dazzling to look at.

Scarface saw this scene and swallowed his saliva subconsciously. He sneered and said, "I wonder how much benefit Song Xuan got from this."

"Oh my Lord!"

The man, who was in his thirties and seemed to be his trusted adjutant, whispered, "Sir, please be more careful. We can discuss this when we get to the imperial capital. Don't even think about it here."

Song Xuan was not here, and Scarface became bolder. "Why, does he really dare to kill me? He has caused a big disaster this time, and it is still uncertain whether he can survive!"

The adjutant hurriedly pulled him to a secluded place and whispered, "You also said that he has caused a big disaster and might even lose his life. At this time, do you think he will have any scruples?

What if he feels he has no way out and wants to take you with him before he dies?

As soon as these words were spoken, Scarface was stunned. When he thought of Song Xuan's cold eyes that were devoid of any emotion, his body instinctively trembled.

That was definitely a look that only one could have after killing countless people. For this kind of person, killing was no different from eating and drinking.

If they really fell out, the other party might even dare to go all out and drag him down with him before he died.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted to everyone, "Hurry up! We must finish the inventory tonight and load the ship to leave this place tomorrow morning!"

The adjutant said helplessly, "Sir, Song Xuan applied for the use of Xiao Huan Dan some time ago. In addition to escorting the property, we also have the task of reviewing this matter. We really can't handle it in one night."

"Audit?"

Scarface glared and said, "It's just a small pill, what's there to review?

Even if I don't get along with him, I won't make a fuss about it.

Listen to me, send someone to Lin Ruhai to go through the motions. Also, have someone talk to that guy called Hua Manlou to see if he's really blind. If there's no problem, approve him directly!

Send someone to do it quickly, we must leave this damn place tomorrow!"

Chapter 117 Paid Vacation, Traveling the World

The people from the Judgment Department left early the next morning.

Escorting several large ships and transporting billions of silver in property, they headed towards the imperial capital by sea.

And on the second day after they left, people from the Inspection Office hurried over.

Song Xuan recognized the man who came. His name was Li Yun. He had seen this man at the Inspection Office when he was slacking off at work in the imperial capital.

When Li Yun entered the Qianhu Suo Yamen and saw Song Xuan, he burst into laughter.

"Brother Song, you've caused quite a stir this time. When I left the capital, the court was in the thick of the action. Because of you, three imperial envoys were killed by crashing into pillars, and more than a dozen civil servants were beaten with sticks by the emperor.

Throughout the imperial capital, everyone is talking about your massacre in Mingzhou."

Song Xuan smiled slightly and asked, "Brother Li, are you here to take over my position?"

Li Yun lowered his voice and said, "The director asked me to come here to temporarily take over the position of a thousand households. As for you, the director asked you to suspend your duties and not return to the imperial capital. Stay out of the limelight."

After the storm subsides, I will arrange a subsequent position for you. Don't worry, your previous benefits will not be reduced at all."

Song Xuan was a little surprised. Zhao Dezhu's power was beyond his expectations.

He knew that after paying 10 billion taels of silver, the emperor would most likely not kill him, but he did not expect the punishment to be so light. Is suspension considered a punishment?

This is no different than paid vacation time.

"Does the emperor have any instructions?"

Li Yun shook his head, "It is said that the commander and the director almost had a falling out with the emperor because of you. Of course, it is just a rumor, I don't know the specific situation.

However, the Emperor is so determined to confront all the officials in the court on your behalf, and these two adults must have contributed to this."

Song Xuan was silent for a moment, then smiled. "Now that the disobedient people in Yangzhou City have been basically cleared out, there's nothing much to hand over to the Qianhu Division. Brother Li, when you take over, just make sure the people under you don't mess around."

Li Yun said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. I was just temporarily pulled over to fill the position for a while. When the situation calms down, I guess Brother Song will become the youngest captain of the Xuanyi Guard."

At noon, Song Xuan held a banquet to welcome Li Yun and others.

At the dinner table, they talked about recent events in the imperial capital, as well as some gossip about the commander-in-chief, Zhao Dezhu and others.

After the meal and the guests were satisfied, Song Xuan called together the captains of the Qianhu Division, introduced Li Yun's identity, and announced that Li Qianhu was officially appointed.

Because of Song Xuan's introduction, the captains of the thousand-household unit did not have any resistance. In fact, they had already seen from Mr. Song's attitude of slacking off at work all day that he was probably going to leave Yangzhou.

Li Yun did not live in the courtyard where Song Xuan lived before, but found another house to live in.

After leaving office, Song Xuan had nothing to do, so he went to Lin's house to eat and drink.

Song Qian is not very interested in becoming an official. She spends the whole day laughing and joking with Lin Daiyu, and from time to time she encourages her brother to travel around the world and do justice.

After being instigated by Song Qian several times, Song Xuan also became interested. Taking advantage of the fact that he had no official duties, he planned to travel around Mingzhou as a gangster.

By the way, I'll go to Huashan to see how Lao Yue is doing.

Song Qian was naturally overjoyed. After simply packing her luggage, she began to urge her brother to set off.

Lin Daiyu also wanted to go along, but was rejected by Song Xuan on the grounds that her martial arts skills were too weak. The angry girl was so angry that her eyes were blurred with tears and full of resentment.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou also wanted to go with them, but were dissuaded by Song Xuan.

According to him, before the Imperial Capital's Xuanyi Guards give Hua Manlou a clear response regarding the Xiao Huan Dan, it would be best for the two of them to stay at the Qianhu Office and work honestly.

He ran away before getting the elixir. It's unacceptable in any way.

As for the future, it won’t be too late for these two to follow after the imperial capital arranges new tasks for them.

The two men didn't say anything about this. Anyway, with Song Xuan's strength, there was no need for them to follow and protect him. All they had to do was remember their previous promise.

.....

After leaving Yangzhou, Song Xuan and his companions strolled around casually, and one day they arrived in Baoding City.

Zuixianju is the most prosperous restaurant in Baoding City. At this time, the second floor is full of guests. Many people are eating and drinking while listening to an old storyteller telling various strange people and things in the world.

Song Xuan and his sister were wearing straw hats that covered half of their faces. They were sitting by the window, eating the special dishes of Zuixianju and listening to the old man telling stories.

"Do you know what the most famous thing in the martial arts world is recently?"

The old storyteller had white hair and a pipe in his mouth. He took a deep puff of the tobacco and looked at everyone with a smile.

A guest hurriedly said, "Old Zhang, are you talking about the governor of Yangzhou City? It is said that he is a ruthless man. Within a few months of taking office, tens of thousands of people died at his hands."

As soon as these words came out, the white-haired old man Zhang's face changed, and he said with some taboo: "Hey, let's not talk about the struggle for power in the officialdom, let's continue to talk about the affairs of the martial arts world."

As he spoke, he slammed the gavel on the square table and said in a long tone, "If we talk about the most sensational thing in the martial arts world today, it is undoubtedly the Plum Blossom Bandits who have been the most active recently!

Many sects have already stated that their treasures were stolen by the Plum Blossom Thief, which has caused the Plum Blossom Thief's reputation in the martial arts world to skyrocket."

Song Qian listened with great interest. Compared to the intrigues in officialdom, she loved listening to these stories about the underworld the most.

Hearing the old storyteller pause and then start to keep the secret, she said directly, "Old man, please tell us quickly, who is this Plum Blossom Thief?"

As she spoke, she threw a piece of silver onto the square table.

The white-haired old man grinned, quickly put the silver away, and then said with a smile: "The Plum Blossom Thief's whereabouts are secretive and no one knows.

Rumor has it that if you want to kill the Plum Blossom Bandit, you must first obtain the Golden Silk Armor. This Golden Silk Armor is one of the most famous treasures in the world, invulnerable to swords and spears, and impervious to water and fire. Without this treasure, it is said that you are absolutely no match for the Plum Blossom Bandit.

Upon hearing this, a guest quickly spoke up, "I heard that whoever kills the Plum Blossom Bandit will not only be rich enough to rival a nation, but even Lin Xian'er, known as the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, has made a promise that she will marry whoever kills the Plum Blossom Bandit!"

"Old man Zhang, is this rumor true or false?"

"Of course it's true!" Old Man Zhang said, "Not only is it true, but as far as I know, the golden armor has also appeared in the world. Many people have died fighting for this treasure."

Hearing this, Song Qian's face bloomed with a smile. Looking at Song Xuan who was eating his own food, she whispered, "Brother, let's go kill the Plum Blossom Bandits, shall we?

By then, the wealth that rivals a nation will belong to me, and the most beautiful woman in the world will belong to you. Isn't that wonderful?"

Song Xuan shook his head, "I'm not interested in the bus!"

Chapter 118 I am Shura Sword, Victoria Song!

"Bus?" Victoria asked doubtfully, "What is that?"

She had learned many new terms from her brother since she was a child, but this was the first time she heard the word "bus".

Song Xuan considered his words for a moment, "It means that her private life is very chaotic. From what I know, Lin Xian'er appears beautiful and pure on the outside, but in reality, she is a vicious and lustful person on the inside.

Her martial arts skills are mediocre, but she has great ambitions. To achieve her goals, she uses her beauty to seduce and win over men. As long as you are strong enough, she will take the initiative to sleep with you!

"Huh~~"

Victoria Song let out a long, disdainful tone, "How dare such a fickle woman call herself the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world?"

Song Xuan said indifferently, "Reputation is something that, as long as someone is willing to praise you, after a long time, people will naturally believe it."

Song Qian held her chin in her hand and thought for a moment, then stood up and looked at the old storyteller, "Old man, your information is outdated. As far as I know, the most beautiful woman in Mingzhou is no longer that Lin Xian'er!"

The old storyteller was startled. "Could it be that another proud daughter of heaven has appeared in the martial arts world?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Song Qian standing up and proudly saying, "Yes, the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world today is Shura Sword Song Qian. Have you heard of her?"

"Cough cough!"

Song Xuan almost spit out the tea in his mouth, but he did not stop Song Qian's bad taste. It was a rare opportunity for them to come out and relax, so he let her do whatever she wanted.

This little girl has been yearning for the martial arts world since she was a child, and has always wanted to make a name for herself in it. Since she is still obsessed with it, let's fulfill her wish.

"Shura Sword Song Qian?"

The old storyteller was bewildered. "I wonder who this Shura Sword the young lady is talking about? Although my martial arts skills are mediocre, I've always been well-informed. Why have I never heard of this person?"

"Of course you haven't heard of her, because she only officially debuted in the martial arts world today!"

Everyone looked a little disapproving, as if they were listening to a joke. The old storyteller stared at Song Qian's hat with a strange look on his face, "Miss, the Shura Sword you mentioned, could it be..."

"That's right, it's you!"

As she spoke, she took off her hat, and then a breathtakingly beautiful face came into everyone's sight.

Song Xuan grew up with his sister, so he has long been immune to Song Qian's beauty, but in the eyes of the diners in the restaurant, Song Qian at this moment is simply glowing.

Her skin is as smooth as jade, but whiter and smoother than jade. Her facial features and figure are beautiful in every way. Just standing there can make people's heart beat fast!

Being star-struck, Victoria Song raised her chin proudly, her vanity greatly satisfied.

Then, she put on her bamboo hat again and said leisurely, "Now, do you think what I just said is true?"
