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

"How could I not know this?"

"But...what can I do?"

At this moment, Fu Gongju suddenly burst into laughter and said:

"But now, big brother, the biggest problem facing us, the lack of money and food, has finally been solved, and the solution lies in the two little thieves Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling!"

Upon hearing this, Du Fuwei's tiger eyes widened instantly, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he couldn't help asking:

"This...how is this possible?"

"They are just two petty thieves who make a living by stealing. It's a stroke of luck that they can obtain the Secret of Immortality. Could it be that they have other treasures on them?"

Fu Gongju smiled, stroked his long beard, and asked complacently:

"Brother, do you know the legend of Yang Gong's treasure house?"

Chapter 736 The capital to dominate the world!

Yang Gong's treasury.

This is a legend that has been circulating in the martial arts world for a long time.

According to legend, the founder of Yang Gong's Treasure House was Yang Su, the Grand Commander of the Sui Dynasty.

Over the past decade since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, this powerful official of extraordinary status has collected treasures from all over the world and organized them into the "Yang Gong Treasure House."

Legend has it that countless rare treasures are hidden in this treasure house.

Whoever can get it will gain wealth that rivals that of a country.

But legends are just legends after all.

Over the years, countless people in the martial arts world and masters from various families have come one after another to try to find clues about Yang Gong's treasure house.

But decades have passed and still nothing has been achieved.

As time went by, people all over the world regarded Yang Gong's treasure house as a fantasy story, and no one was willing to spend time looking for this non-existent treasure house.

Du Fuwei in those days also had his eyes on Yang Gong's treasure house.

But after seeing that the masters of the Demon Sect, the Buddhist Sect, and the four major clans all returned empty-handed, he was no longer obsessed and decisively gave up this aimless pursuit.

Fu Gongju was also well aware of this old story.

And now, he suddenly brought up the matter of Yang Gong's treasure house again. Could it be that he had some new clues?

Thinking of this, Du Fuwei narrowed his eyes slightly, as if there was a flicker of fire in his eyes. His gaze fell on Fu Gongju like a torch, and he said in a deep voice:

"Tell me clearly, why did you suddenly bring up the matter of Yang Gong's treasure house?"

Even though he had followed this sworn brother for decades, when he saw his stern face, Fu Gongju couldn't help but feel a little scared. He didn't dare to beat around the bush and quickly replied:

"Reporting to my brother."

"According to the information I got from the Yuwen family's spies, perhaps the secrets of Yang Gong's treasure house are hidden in the bodies of these two thieves, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling!"

Upon hearing this, Du Fuwei's eyes lit up instantly, and even his breathing became a little heavy, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Is this true!?"

Fu Gongju nodded and said seriously:

"The intelligence must be accurate, but whether the clue to Yang Gong's treasure house is hidden on those two thieves is still unknown."

"But no matter what, as long as we can capture those two little thieves alive, the rewards will be huge!"

Du Fuwei nodded, the excitement in his heart was simply beyond words.

All the anger and frustration caused by the casualties of his subordinates and the loss of face in recent days were swept away, and replaced by an indescribable excitement.

Whether it is the secret of immortality or Yang Gong's treasure house, they are both priceless treasures that cannot be measured by value.

But for Du Fuwei, the value of the latter is even far greater than the former.

As a powerful leader who commanded an army of nearly 100,000, Du Fuwei also had the ambition to dominate the world and become the supreme emperor.

If one wants to compete for supremacy in the world and compete with all the heroes of the time, one will inevitably have to spend a lot of wealth as support. After all, the basis of war is the consumption of money and food.

But what Du Fuwei lacked most was money.

He was born in poverty, and relied on his own hands, fighting desperately on the battlefield, killing countless people, and then he built the Jianghuai Army from scratch and became a local tyrant.

But conversely, among all the heroes in the world, his foundation is also the worst.

Not only did he not have the support of any powerful family, he didn't even have a decent industry under his command, and the military pay for his army was obtained by plundering the people.

Rather than being an army, the Jianghuai Army was more like a group of bandits.

As the general, Du Fuwei was eager to change the status quo, but he was ultimately powerless and all his efforts failed.

But now, an opportunity to change his destiny has emerged.

The legendary Yang Gong treasure house actually exists.

Moreover, as long as the two petty thieves Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling can be caught, there is a great possibility that important clues about Yang Gong's treasure house can be obtained.

And once Du Fuwei can get the Yang Gong treasury that contains countless treasures, he will really have the capital to dominate the world, enough to support the expansion of the Jianghuai Army!

By then, with the combat power of the Jianghuai Army, perhaps conquering the world, eventually seizing the country, and becoming an emperor will no longer be an illusory dream!

When he thought about his future as the emperor, even Du Fuwei, who was very shrewd, couldn't help but feel dry mouth and even his breathing became a little rapid.

In an instant, he had made up his mind.

No matter what the cost, even if it means searching the entire Jianghuai area or even digging three feet into the ground, we must catch those two little thieves Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling!

Du Fuwei took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with a fiery heat, and he shouted in a deep voice:

"Somebody come!"

"Pass my order, order all the spies to go out and search for the two thieves Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling day and night. If you have any clues, report to me immediately!"

"This time, I will personally take action and make sure to capture these two thieves alive!"

Chapter 737: Prey or Hunter?

Lancang River.

Duanyun Mountain.

This place is sparsely populated and has always been quiet and peaceful.

But today, the originally quiet forest was broken by a loud shouting and killing.

"Get 'em!"

"Don't shoot, catch him alive!"

"The chief steward has ordered that these two thieves be captured alive. If one of them is caught, there will be a reward of 1,000 taels and a promotion of three ranks!"

Dozens of elite cavalrymen on fast horses swept through the mountains and forests like a gust of wind, raising billowing smoke and dust, and chased the two figures in front of them relentlessly.

The two agile figures in front were flying through the mountains and forests like dragons. Although it looked extremely dangerous, they were always able to leave the pursuers behind them far behind.

A moment later, everyone's steps were cut off by a rushing stream.

Seeing this, the two agile figures in front did not hesitate at all. They acted decisively, used their lightness skills, and leaped up.

The two of them were seen flying lightly, as if riding the wind, moving gracefully through the void, and finally landing very lightly on an ancient tree high up.

Then, without any pause, the two of them used their exquisite martial arts skills to shuttle back and forth above the huge trees, their postures as light and graceful as two flying swallows.

This kind of method is really amazing.

After just a few dozen breaths, they completely shook off the pursuers behind them and disappeared into the vast forest like fish entering the sea.

"Uu——"

The leading cavalryman stopped his horse in anger and cursed:

"Damn it!"

"Let these two little thieves get away again!"

A man wearing black iron armor, who seemed to be the leader, sneered and said gloomily:

"This time, they can't run away!"

"I have already sent out a pigeon to report the location of these two thieves to the leader. I am afraid that the leader has already brought a large army to besiege these two thieves!"

"When the army arrives and surrounds this place, I wonder where these two little thieves can run to!"

Even as they were speaking, the ground suddenly shook, and not far away a large group of cavalry came roaring over like a tide. In the middle of the army, there stood a huge flag with the word "Du" on it.

Du Fuwei, the commander-in-chief of the Jianghuai Army, personally led his troops to the scene!

...

And at this moment, in the mountains and forests.

The brothers Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling flew through the woods like flying swallows until they came to an unusually tall dead tree, where they stopped to rest for a while.

Kou Zhong panted for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said with a smug look on his face:

"Master Ling, you said that this time, we deliberately delayed time and gave those guys a chance to report the news. By now, Du Fuwei should have arrived with his army, right?"

Xu Ziling nodded and said softly:

"It shouldn't go wrong."

“No one expected that, in addition to the Art of Immortality, the two of us would also be inexplicably involved in such a big trouble as Yang Gong’s Treasure House!”

Kou Zhong curled his lips, spread his hands, and smiled bitterly:

"How can we two poor fellows know where the so-called Yang Gong treasure house is? Damn it, this is really an unexpected disaster!"

However, Xu Ziling smiled slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes, and said leisurely:

"But this is also good. If there were no rumors about Yang Gong's treasure house, Du Fuwei might not care so much about us brothers."

"This time, he will never let us go."

And just as Xu Ziling expected, at this moment, birds were startled and flew away in the distance, and the thrilling sound of galloping war horses suddenly rang out.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ziling quickly bent down, put his ear to the ground, and listened carefully to the shaking sound coming from the ground.

For some reason, after practicing the Art of Immortality, Xu Ziling's six senses were greatly strengthened, especially his hearing, which was improved to an extremely extraordinary level.

Just by relying on his hearing, he could even tell how many enemies there were.

"There are quite a few people coming, at least a hundred of them. The ground is shaking loudly. It is obvious that these cavalrymen are not ordinary soldiers. They should all be wearing fine iron armor. They are obviously the elite of the army."

Xu Ziling narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up, and a bit of excitement appeared in his eyes. He whispered:

"Master Zhong, this time, I'm afraid Du Fuwei is really going out in person!"

Hearing this, Kou Zhong was overjoyed and laughed, clapping his hands:

"Great! This bastard has finally shown up. It's worth it for us brothers to hide in this deep forest for so long!"

"Next, we have to wait for Gillian's signal to confirm whether it is Du Fuwei who is coming!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, and then both of them looked up at the sky.

Soon, a snow-white falcon flapped its wings and landed on Kou Zhong's shoulder.

Kou Zhong first touched the falcon's feathers, and then impatiently took out a secret letter from the metal tube on the falcon's leg.

After opening it, there were only a few vigorous words on the secret letter, which were written by Zhai Jiao herself.

"The fish has surfaced, get ready to collect the net!"

Chapter 738 Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!

"All is ready except for the opportunity!"

Looking at the flourishing handwriting on the note, Kou Zhong couldn't help but smile faintly, muttering to himself:

"Now it's time for us to perform!"

Xu Ziling took a deep breath, slowly stretched his muscles and bones, and adjusted himself to the best state.

Next, comes the real challenge.

Even if the plan succeeds, it will inevitably lead to an unprecedented fierce battle, so you must proceed with caution.

Then, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other without saying much, but nodded in tacit understanding.
