Martial Arts: 10,000 times return, accept Xiaolongnu as apprentice at the beginning

Originally, Xu Ziling thought that Zhai Jiao was just a disciple that his teacher accepted on a whim. He didn't expect that she had such an intelligent mind. It really shows that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

At this moment, Su Liu smiled slightly and praised softly:

"Yes, Jiaojiao's analysis makes sense."

"The Jianghuai area is indeed very suitable as a commercial center within the Great Sui Dynasty, but there is a big flaw in your idea. Do you know what it is?"

Hearing this, Zhai Jiao blinked, and after thinking for a moment, she still couldn't figure out what the loophole Su Liu was talking about was, so she couldn't help but ask;

"Sir, I really can't figure out what this loophole you are talking about is..."

Su Liu chuckled, took a sip of tea, and said lightly:

"Your idea is good, but the only thing you forgot is that you didn't take into account the current situation in the world."

"The Sui Dynasty is now in a precarious situation. The entire empire is on the verge of collapse. Warlords are rising up in all directions and warlords are everywhere. How can you avoid such a chaotic world?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhai Jiao's eyes suddenly widened.

Su Liu's words were like a flash of lightning, making her suddenly enlightened.

Yup!

I actually forgot the most important point!

Damn it!

Su Liu put down the teacup in his hand, sighed softly, and said with emotion:

"You may not have thought that this chaotic time is the beginning of the empire's collapse. Thirty-six rebel kings and seventy-two groups of smoke and dust are rising together. The world is about to be in chaos again."

"It's a pity that the people at the bottom of society have to bear all of this, which is exactly what the poem says: 'When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer...'"

"When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer..."

Upon hearing these words, the brothers Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were shocked at the same time, and felt an inexplicable indignation rising from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

What you said, sir, is absolutely right!

As two orphans who once lived in the market and made a living by petty theft, Shuanglong knew clearly what a miserable life the lower class led.

Once troubled times come, such tragic days will only become more terrifying.

By then, the whole world will be engulfed in war, with millions of corpses lying on the ground and blood flowing for thousands of miles. The world will become a hell.

When he thought of this, even someone as brave as Shuanglong couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end and his whole body cold. He felt inexplicably sad and angry in his heart, but he didn't know what to do. He could only sigh with red eyes.

At this moment, Su Liu's voice suddenly sounded in Shuanglong's ears.

"How is it? Are you scared when you think about the chaos that is coming?"

"I am not afraid of troubled times, nor am I afraid of war."

Kou Zhong shook his head and fell silent, which was unusual for him. Tears glistened in his tiger eyes as he said softly:

"I just don't want to see people die meaninglessly. I once heard a storyteller say that a real man can't eat from five different pots while alive, but he will be cooked in five different pots after death."

"But those poor people don't want to be real men. They just want to live a good life. They have done nothing wrong, but they have to bear the price of the chaos."

At this point, Kou Zhong suddenly raised his head, looked at Su Liu with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice;

"Sir, this is not fair!".

Chapter 714 A real man must not eat from five tripods while alive, but must be cooked from five tripods after death!

Kou Zhong was an active person by nature. He was always laughing and joking. He was also bold and unrestrained. He had almost never been as serious as he was now.

His face was as dark as water, but there seemed to be a fire hidden in his calm eyes. He looked like a tiger that had just woken up, and there was a hint of domineering aura in his eyes.

It seemed that something dormant in Kou Zhong's bones was gradually awakening.

That is the bearing of a king.

As a true king, one should have the courage to pacify troubled times, the ambition to conquer the world, and the responsibility to protect the people of the world.

And Su Liu had already vaguely seen these characteristics in Kou Zhong.

He smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Kou Zhong, and said softly:

"Silly boy, the world is cruel and treats all things as straw dogs. When has there ever been true justice in this world?"

"Don't you see, lions and tigers are famous for their prey, but who cares about the poor elk? In this world, the strong always eat the weak, even if it is reasonable."

"But...".

Kou Zhong looked excited and said through gritted teeth:

“It shouldn’t be like this!”

Looking at Kou Zhong who looked excited, Su Liu's eyes became softer and he said softly:

"It really shouldn't be like this, but it's happening now. Chaos is bound to come, and no one can stop it. If you want to protect innocent people, the only thing you can do is to end this chaos as soon as possible!"

End this chaotic world!

Although Su Liu's words were gentle and indifferent, they rang in Kou Zhong's mind like a loud bell, and like thunder, shocking him completely.

What exactly does sir mean?

Could it be that...Sir, do you think that I, Kou Zhong, would be the one who can end the troubled times?

Kou Zhong swallowed hard and looked at Su Liu with a complicated expression. His eyes were filled with anticipation and a bit of timidity, but more of excitement. He said in a hoarse and trembling voice:

"Sir...you mean..."

"Yes."

Su Liu stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm, nodded, and said with a smile:

"Just as you thought, you and Ziling are the saviors chosen by the master, capable of ending this chaotic world and saving all the people in the world."

Su Liu's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of everyone present.

No one expected that things would develop to this point.

Even though Kou Zhong was conceited, he never thought that a young boy like him, who came from a poor family and had a miserable life, would become a savior one day!

Xu Ziling was the same, his expression was dull and his eyes were blank, he couldn't believe his ears at all.

The savior who ends the chaos?

Isn't this name too far away from them?

If the master took action personally, perhaps he might be able to do it, but with the limited abilities of the two brothers, there is absolutely no possibility for them to do it even if they were to be torn to pieces, right?

Zhai Jiao, who was standing aside, had an even weirder look on her face.

What on earth did the gentleman see in these two little thieves? He actually thought so highly of them. This... This is really too incredible!

Among the people present.

Perhaps Susu was the only one who believed in Su Liu's words without any doubt at all.

Because in her impression, the gentleman is like a god in heaven, knowing everything and being omnipotent.

No matter how shocking what the gentleman said is, there must be some truth to it.

At this moment, Su Liu looked serious and said to Kou Zhong and others:

"Master, I am not joking. What I just said was serious."

"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, you two brothers have been entrusted with destiny, and now you are valued by me. You are naturally qualified to be the ones who end the troubled times!"

"I only ask one thing now, do you two have the courage to complete your mission?"

When these words were spoken, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling couldn't help but feel their blood boiling.

Those who receive orders from heaven will live long and prosperous lives.

End the chaos and save the people.

These words undoubtedly have an irresistible magic for two young people in their prime, and they are even willing to sacrifice their lives for them!

Kou Zhong immediately stood up and slammed the table, his eyes sparkling with divine light, and said loudly:

"Hahaha, I just said that a real man must be cooked in five cauldrons when he is dead. It turns out that I, Kou Zhong, am not an ordinary person."

"Thank you for your appreciation, sir. Even if it means risking my life, Kou Zhong is willing to give it a try!"

Xu Ziling beside him was even more direct. After taking a deep breath, he stood up and bowed to Su Liu, saying loudly:

"I will follow your orders, Master. I will do my best, even if it means I have to face the dangers of fire and swords, and I will never turn back!"

Then, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, and they both saw the determination and fire in each other's eyes.

The next moment, the two brothers laughed out loud at the same time in perfect tacit understanding. Their heroic and generous laughter resounded in the night sky like rolling thunder.

They all knew that the path they had chosen would be extremely difficult, and might even cost their lives, and in the end, they would still achieve nothing.

But so what?

A real man does not eat from five pots when alive, but will be cooked from five pots when dead! .

Chapter 715: Quelling the Rebellion of the Jianghuai Army!

"And me!".

Seeing that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had expressed their opinions, Zhai Jiao could no longer hold back her excitement. She took a step forward and pleaded with Su Liu:

"Sir, please include me!"

"Although I am a woman, I believe that I am as heroic as a man. You must take me with you on this great cause of ending the chaos and saving the people of the world!"

Hearing this, Kou Zhong curled his lips and said disdainfully:

"Tsk, little bitch. Saving the world is a man's job. What use can a little girl like you be? You should just find a man to marry and have a bunch of babies."

"asshole!"

"you wanna die!"

Zhai Jiao was furious and was about to rush up and teach Kou Zhong a lesson.

Kou Zhong just laughed, put on some oil on his feet, and was about to run away.

At this moment, Su Liu's joking voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"Haha, Jiaojiao will naturally be involved, and she occupies a very important position. Her authority is no less than your brothers, and perhaps even more powerful than your brothers. In the future, you two will have to rely on her."

As soon as these words came out, Kou Zhong's body paused for a moment, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his mouth opened wide.

what! ?

This little girl is actually valued so much by the master?

Will Ling Shao and I still have to rely on her in the future?

impossible!

Kou Zhong sneered and said disdainfully:

"That may not be the case, sir."

"I, Kou Zhong, am a real man. Even if I die, even if I jump off this mountain, I will never beg this little bitch for help!"

"Oh? Really?"

Su Liu smiled slightly, blew the tea in his hand, and said lightly:

"What if I say that Jiaojiao will be in charge of all your financial and grain businesses in the future?"

Hearing this, Kou Zhong's expression changed instantly, and his aura dropped instantly.

Ah this.

All the money and grain are handed over to this little girl to manage?

Although he did not read much, Kou Zhong's favorite thing was to listen to storytellers telling various stories. He also had some knowledge about marching and fighting.

No matter how arrogant he was, he would not think that he and Xu Ziling alone could end the chaos and bring peace to the world.

If you want to pacify the world, you must have a powerful army that is victorious in every battle to support you.

But organizing such a team is by no means an easy task. Whether it is armor and weapons, war horses, equipment, military rations and salaries, it will cost countless money.

Looking around the world, any warlord that controls a certain area has the secret support of wealthy families behind it. Otherwise, it would have to rely on plundering the people for a living like the Jianghuai Army and become a bandit-like existence.

If Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling want to build their own army from scratch, they need financial support.
