Chapter 180 Return to Wuxiang City and Untie the Knot

Zhao Ya actually didn't care about this matter at all.

Even if these surrendered cavalrymen pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed and really intended to do something, Zhao Ya didn't need to do anything, because the warriors who had already established their foothold and tasted the sweetness would tear them all to pieces.

Moreover, this situation was impossible to happen.

From the moment these cavalrymen surrendered, they were destined to have no way back.

Moreover, Sun Yingkui had not been very happy under Wei Hongbin before, and now he finally had the opportunity to be independent. I believe he would cherish it more than anyone else.

Shen Dao and Shi Qingqing's wedding was completed smoothly.

Lu Dingtai specially approved and gave them a courtyard next to the martial arts hall, so the two of them moved there happily and lived a sweet life for two people.

The storm of this war finally subsided gradually, although from time to time there were still invitations or letters with faint fragrance thrown into the martial arts hall through the wall, and it was clearly stated that they were to be given to Zhao Ya.

But after all, people have to live, so everything gradually returned to normal.

Zhao Ya also declined many invitations from the outside world and concentrated on studying the newly acquired Xiao Wu Lu Chasing Soul Leg.

A dozen days passed in a blink of an eye.

One day, in the forest outside the county city, Zhao Ya's figure was like a ghost, shuttling quickly in the forest.

The branches that grew horizontally did not hinder him at all. Often, at the moment before his body, his figure would naturally change and pass through the gap easily.

The whole process was natural and the speed was extremely fast.

Finally.

After passing through a large area of ​​forest, a rocky hill appeared in front.

Zhao Ya's figure jumped and landed lightly on a huge rock. He stood firm, then slowly exhaled, frowned and thought.

It still didn't work.

Although after a few days of hard training, both the speed of his body movements and the agility of dodging have been improved to varying degrees.

But the last 1% is like a natural chasm that can never be crossed.

Zhao Ya took out a piece of dried meat and put it in his mouth to chew slowly.

After replenishing his blood and qi, Zhao Ya began to practice leg skills.

He was as agile as a swallow, constantly moving across the stone hill, landing on the stones.

With a click, a stone as big as a watermelon was crushed, splashing a small cloud of dust.

And this is already normal.

In just a moment, Zhao Ya had crushed almost all the stones of suitable size on the hill.

He stopped on the top of the hill and opened the attribute panel.

Name: Zhao Ya. Age: 19 years old. Remaining lifespan: 392 (+17 days) years

Skills: Eight-part Vajra Longevity Skill (57% of the peak)

Five Tiger Fists (13% of the return to the original state)

Wild Wind Sword Skill (16% of the return to the original state)

Light as a Swallow (99% of the peak)

Breath Control Skill (99% of the peak)

Big Stone Smashing Hand (8% of the peak)

Big Vajra Fist (11% of the peak)

Golden Body Skill (4998/5000 of the peak)

Small Five-way Soul Chasing Leg (231/500 of the peak)

[Lung unlocking progress: 17%]

Although it has only been practiced for a few days, thanks to Zhao Ya's powerful realm strength, this leg skill was quickly practiced to the point of mastering the realm.

After reaching this realm, the power of this leg skill gradually emerged, and a random kick had the power to break rocks and split mountains.

However, Zhao Ya thinks that the biggest effect of this leg skill may be to improve the speed of body movement, otherwise how could his body movement have made significant progress in the past few days.

Of course, this is just a guess. Whether it is true or not will have to wait until his realm is higher, at least until he has made some achievements before he can verify it.

In addition, the data in other aspects have not changed much, and the progress of lung unlocking has only increased by 8%.

But the Golden Body Skill is on the verge of a breakthrough, which is also related to Zhao Ya's recent visit to Guangrui Martial Arts Hall to ask Jin Zhenming for advice.

According to this progress, the Golden Body Skill will be able to break through to the pinnacle of perfection no later than tomorrow.

Because the Golden Body Skill is related to one's own defense, it also means that one's self-protection ability will be further improved.

By then, it will be time to set off back to Wuxiang City.

Zhao Ya secretly made up his mind, practiced the skill again, and then returned home.

As expected, the next day, when Zhao Ya patted his muscles according to the record of the Golden Body Art, filled his body with Qi and blood, and built a strong body, the long-lost reminder sound finally came.

[Golden Body Art proficiency plus 3]

Zhao Ya was delighted and opened the panel to take a look.

As expected.

The Golden Body Art has gone from perfection to the pinnacle.

After reaching this level, Zhao Ya's skin is as tough as steel, and ordinary weapons will not even leave a red mark after scratching it, let alone hurt.

Almost.

With the Golden Body Art as a foundation, Zhao Ya has more confidence to go back for revenge.

So that night he told Lu Dingtai that he was going to go back to Wuxiang City.

After listening, Lu Dingtai did not stop him.

"Well, with your current strength, let alone Wuxiang City, there are few people in the entire Yunxiao County who can be your opponent. So I don't have anything to tell you, I just want to tell you one thing."

"Master, please speak."

Lu Dingtai's face suddenly became solemn.

"Don't leave any of the people who killed my junior brother alive, kill them all, is it possible?"

Hearing Lu Dingtai's murderous exhortation, Zhao Ya was somewhat amused.

Since he was promoted to the fifth realm, the master's murderous nature has become more and more powerful.

But in fact, Lu Dingtai didn't need to say it at all. Zhao Ya had no intention of letting those guys go this time.

So he nodded very seriously and said, "Don't worry, Master, I promise not to leave any alive and kill them all."

"Okay, hahahaha, this is my good disciple!" Lu Dingtai was very happy, and gave Zhao Ya a small bottle of Vajra Pills before leaving.

This thing can not only be used for daily practice, but also temporarily replenish qi and blood during battle. It can be said to be a must-have medicine for home travel, murder and arson.

After Zhao Ya thanked Lu Dingtai, he took the bottle of Vajra Pills and left.

After he left, Lu Dingtai was silent for a moment, and then said, "Come out, the people have left."

Meng Shiwen lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room, with a look of confusion on her face.

"Master."

Lu Dingtai sighed, "It's not that I don't want you to go. He is your father after all. It is human nature to go and pay respect to him. But this guy clearly knows that you are in the inner room, but he never mentions this matter. It can be seen that he doesn't want to take you back."

Meng Shiwen lowered her head and remained silent.

Although Lu Dingtai always looked decisive in front of outsiders, he still showed a rare tenderness in front of this girl who was not a daughter but better than a daughter.

"If you really want to go, I will send him a message and ask him to take you back to Wuxiang City, how about it?"

Meng Shiwen shook her head and refused.

"No need, in fact, I don't want to go much. The person is dead. Paying respect to him is nothing more than showing it to the living. It has no effect."

After saying that, Meng Shiwen took her leave and left.

Looking at her back, Lu Dingtai sighed slightly.

He knew that the knot in Meng Shiwen's heart had not been untied.

Junior brother, do you know that your momentary anger has caused your daughter so much suffering?

Lu Dingtai's face showed a rare gloomy look.

At the same time, Zhao Ya returned home.

Zui'er was packing his luggage excitedly.

Zhao Ya had told Zui'er that he would leave for Wuxiang City soon, so Zui'er was so excited that he couldn't sleep well these two days.

When he saw Zhao Ya coming back, Zui'er said happily: "Brother Xiao Ya, everything is packed. When are we leaving?"

Zhao Ya smiled, "Why, are you in a hurry?"

"Yeah." Zui'er nodded vigorously.

"Tomorrow, let's leave early tomorrow morning."

Zui'er suddenly smiled brightly.

"Okay!"

Then she pulled Zhao Ya to introduce what she had prepared in her luggage, as if to show off.

"Here, these are two pairs of shoes I made for grandma. She loved new shoes the most, but her family was poor back then, so she couldn't easily wear a pair. Even when she died, she was wearing a pair of old cloth shoes."

As she spoke, Zui'er's voice became a little choked.

Zhao Ya knew that she had a deep relationship with her grandma, so she always felt resentful for not being able to let her grandma live a few days of good life back then.

He walked up and gently embraced Zui'er in his arms.

"Be good, don't be sad. Grandma is in heaven. Seeing that you are so happy now, she must be very happy."

"Well, I'm not sad, I'm happy." Zui'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said very seriously.

"Well, I'm happy, I believe you!" Zhao Ya said.

After finally comforting Zui'er to sleep, Zhao Ya came to the yard and suddenly spoke.

"Sister, you've been waiting outside for so long, why don't you come in?"

A moment later, a figure flashed by, and then Meng Shiwen appeared in the courtyard.

Zhao Ya knew what she was here for, but he didn't say anything, just pointed to the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Sister, please sit down."

Meng Shiwen sat down, silent.

If she didn't speak, Zhao Ya would naturally not speak.

The two of them were silent.

After a full cup of tea, Meng Shiwen suddenly said: "Tomorrow... are you leaving?"

"Yes."

"Back to Wuxiang City?"

"Yes!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Murder."

After a few short words, Meng Shiwen fell into silence again.

Zhao Ya looked at her quietly, without urging her.

Finally.

Meng Shiwen raised her eyes and took out a small bundle with some hesitation.

"These are some things I prepared. If you go to his grave to worship, please help me burn them together."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya flatly refused.

"No."

"Why?" Meng Shiwen was a little confused.

"Since this is what you prepared for your father, why don't you go to worship it yourself, but let me help you?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

Meng Shiwen's face showed a very tangled expression again.

"But I..."

"When I met Master Lu, you should have been in the back room, so why didn't you show up at that time and tell me directly what you really think?" Zhao Ya was very aggressive.

Meng Shiwen's face showed pain, and she murmured: "I don't know how to face him. I hate him very much, hate him for abandoning me, but at the same time I pity him, thinking that he was buried alone in a foreign land, and there was no one to burn incense in front of his grave."

"In fact, the reason why you don't know how to face many things is that you are avoiding them."

"That's your father. I don't want to interfere with the emotional entanglement between you, but I just want to say that he has never abandoned you. Even when he was dying, he was very proud to tell me about you."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ya stood up and said lightly.

"Zui'er and I will set off early tomorrow morning. If you want to go, come to me with your things, otherwise forget it."

After saying that, Zhao Ya turned back to the house, leaving Meng Shiwen sitting alone in the yard in a daze.

"Who is it, Brother Xiaoya?" Zui'er, who was half asleep, vaguely heard the sound of talking in the yard and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing, go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow to travel!"

"Yeah!"

Zui'er didn't doubt him and fell asleep again.

Zhao Ya heard a slight noise in the yard, knowing that Meng Shiwen had left, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

But when he thought of how Master Meng Lei had boasted to him about how good his daughter was before his death, he could not help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Forget it.

He had done his best.

As for whether to go or not, that was not something he could control.

Zhao Ya closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and soon fell asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Zui'er got up and started packing.

When Zhao Ya got dressed, breakfast was ready.

After a simple two bites, Zhao Ya carried his luggage and left the courtyard with Zui'er.

No one saw him off.

Because Zhao Ya left this time, in addition to telling Lu Dingtai and Meng Shiwen, only Shang Luoluo knew.

When he got out of the door, a long-distance carriage had already stopped by the roadside.

This was prepared by Zhao Ya in advance.

The distance between Yunxiao County and Wuxiang City is not too far. If he takes the official road, Zhao Ya can reach it in five or six days at most at his current speed.

But it's different with Zui'er.

He can't let this little girl live in the open like himself.

The last time I came here, I had to take the mountain path because I had no choice. Even this made Zhao Ya feel very distressed and felt that Zui'er had been wronged.

This time, the situation has changed dramatically. With strong strength as a backing, Zhao Ya is no longer afraid of anyone, and he can naturally take the official road with dignity.

After putting all the gifts in place, Zui'er got into the carriage, and Zhao Ya sat in the front to drive the carriage.

Zhao Ya took a last look at the martial arts hall gate and saw that the corridor was empty and no one appeared. He couldn't help but sighed secretly, and then gently waved the whip.

Snap.

The carriage rumbled and drove out of the city.

When they arrived in front of the city gate, the city gate had just opened, and the people entering and leaving were vegetable farmers who came to the city to sell vegetables or merchants who were driving out of the city.

Zhao Ya's carriage was not conspicuous among them, and Zhao Ya deliberately brought a big bamboo hat to cover his face, so he got out of the city smoothly.

After leaving the city, we continued along the official road and soon entered the suburbs of the county city.

Although it was early winter, the wheat seedlings in the fields were still green and many farmers were working.

After the beast tide siege and the cavalry chaos, Yunxiao County finally ushered in a rare peace.

Especially after the warrior forces took power, under Zhao Ya's insistence, they took good care of these grassroots people.

Therefore, Yunxiao County and its surrounding areas soon became a rare pure land in this chaotic world.

In this atmosphere of recuperation and kindness to the people, Yunxiao County and its surrounding areas also became prosperous and lively.

Although it is not yet the point where everyone can have enough food and clothing, at least the number of people starving to death has been greatly reduced.

You can no longer see those poor people with numb expressions and sitting and waiting to die on the roadside.

Zhao Ya's mood has improved a lot.

Although his power is limited, with his efforts, at least the ecology of a place has been changed.

Zhao Ya admitted that he was not a saint, but since he had come to this world and had enough ability, it was only natural for him to help these people at the bottom of society and let them suffer less.

As he was moving forward, a figure suddenly appeared beside the official road in front of him.

Meng Shiwen was standing on the roadside waiting with a small bag on her back.

Although she was wearing a veil, her slender figure and beautiful eyes still attracted many eyes.

However, when they saw the logo of Dingtai Martial Arts School embroidered on her cuffs, many people looked away in awe.

Today, the prestige of Dingtai Martial Arts School in Yunxiao County is at its peak. The master of the temple, Lu Dingtai, is a strong man who has killed two masters of the fifth realm in the capital. His disciples are one half-step fifth realm and one fourth realm.

Such a strength configuration can already walk sideways in Yunxiao County.

But Dingtai Martial Arts School has strict discipline, and its disciples never bully others. In addition, Dingtai Martial Arts School was the first to end the cavalry rebellion, so it has a good reputation.

Especially Zhao Ya, I don’t know how many poor families have set up a longevity tablet for him and worship him every day.

Because these people have heard that the reason why the county city takes good care of them is because of this young man Zhao.

So when they saw that Meng Shiwen was from Dingtai Martial Arts School, whether it was passing merchants or civilians, they took the initiative to get out of the way and never came forward to disturb her.

When Zhao Ya saw Meng Shiwen, he was stunned at first, then laughed, and then rode his horse to Meng Shiwen.

He didn't ask Meng Shiwen why she suddenly changed her mind, and why she came to wait outside the city.

He just said a simple sentence.

"Senior sister, get in the car!"

Zui'er naturally saw Meng Shiwen, and couldn't help but lift the curtain with excitement.

"Senior sister, are you going with us?"

"Yes, go back and take a look." Meng Shiwen jumped into the carriage, trying to pretend to be calm, but her slightly trembling hands still betrayed her.

But Zhao Ya pretended not to know, smiled slightly and said: "Sit tight!"

Then he gently raised the whip, the carriage accelerated, and went down in the direction of Wuxiang City.
