XIII. Qinmen Martial Arts Museum

Although I don't agree with my martial arts, my lord is still doing his best. Probably out of guilt for me, plus he was really rich, in less than a day he found me a martial arts hall that was very famous in Yangzhou at that time - Yangzhou Qinmen Martial Arts Hall

"Why did you come to practice martial arts?"

Again, I said that in order to maintain world peace, do you understand? Why does everyone ask me this question, and so does my lord, he ...... Also.

"Why learn taekwondo? It's hard, isn't it? He hugged me from behind, who was already too tired to stand on my feet: "I see you working so hard, do you know how sad I feel in my heart? ”

"Why, in order for that to never happen again, in order to protect each of my clients, in order to protect myself."

"It's not going to happen, it's never going to happen again!" He hugged me tightly and shoved me into his arms, "I will protect you, I will always protect you by your side!" ”

Liar, where were you when I was surrounded by those thugs? Where were you when my client knelt before them and begged them to spare me? Where were you when my client pleaded for assurances that he would drop the lawsuit, while protecting me with his scarred body? I was able to stand here intact because of the compromise of my client, the boy who should have been protected by me, the boy who was not relenting even if he was killed, was actually for me......

"Sister Zhang, we won't sue you, we can't fight them, I won't sue you, please let Sister Zhang go!"

The man's mournful cries kept echoing in my head, and my heart was more tattered than the clothes on my body. If I can't even protect myself, how can I be able to protect others, and what can I do to uphold justice? At that time, I was just a drag!

"I, Zhang Xiaoying, don't need anyone's protection!" I will only protect those who need to be protected, those that I cherish, those people and things that I believe in.

More than 300 years later, people still ask me the same question. Although the ideals that I cherished and adhered to back then have long since been abandoned; Although my enthusiasm has long been solidified by the indifference of the world; Although I have long since broken my oath and become poisonous, one thing remains the same:

"Because I have something I have to protect."

"I see!" The owner of the martial arts hall, the old man Qin, who was nearly seventy years old, smiled and said, "Then what do you want to protect?" ”

What am I going to protect? The first thing that came to mind was the gentle smiling face of the aunt next door when I was a child, then the honest and honest face of Shexiang, then the young party, then Li Yanyan, who was indirectly forced to death by me, and finally Wang Ma, who died for me...... What can I protect, and what am I protecting?

"I didn't expect that yet." I replied with some scoundrels.

"Interesting, so interesting!" The old man's answer to me was quite happy: "Come on, take incense, old man, I want to make an exception to be admitted to the room disciple today." ”

It was long after I learned how lucky I was - Old Man Qin had not accepted disciples for more than 20 years, not to mention that he had to be a disciple of the Qin family according to the regulations. No wonder he wants to say that this time it was an exception.

In this way, I went to the martial arts hall every day to practice martial arts with Old Man Qin, who is my current master. When it comes to martial arts, since I am a black belt in taekwondo in the 21st century, my daily performance can be described as incredible. Because I am mixed with taekwondo moves from time to time, even my master is difficult to parry, and I praise me as a martial arts wizard, who knows how to draw inferences and create my own tricks.

In my spare time, I go to help out in various businesses run by the Wang family (mainly because I want to master more skills, after all, the palace is not a place to stay for a long time). The Wang family is mainly engaged in the medicinal herb business, so the most places I spent in Yangzhou were martial arts halls and pharmacies.
