Chapter 41: Unexpected Joy

Zhang An and his entourage drove the ox cart, left Yangzhai, and went straight to the place where the bandits were infested.

The specific distance was already in the hearts of the leading men, but they were worried about whether they would have to worry about their lives, and the three adult men just hurried silently along the way, without the slightest intention of chatting with Zhang An.

Although these three people were tempted by the heavy money offered by Guo County's order and were willing to be bait to lure out the robbers, after seeing Zhang An, who was not surprising in temperament and appearance, they couldn't help but feel that their road ahead was becoming more and more bumpy, and they were inevitably related to each other.

They don't talk to Zhang An, and Zhang An is also idle, just so that he can think about his own things.

However, compared with the three silent adult men, the other teenager was much more lively, pestering Zhang An along the way to ask a lot of questions such as "Have you ever killed someone?", "What realm are you?", "What is it like to kill someone?".

Zhang An was thinking about his own affairs while casually answering the boy's question, and unconsciously became familiar with the boy.

This young man named Jia Fugui was originally born in a well-off family, but three or four years ago, his parents suddenly fell ill, and the family's belongings were wiped out in order to cure the disease.

Fortunately, the people who lent money to Jia Fugui were quite humane, and after Jia Fugui's parents died, they did not propose to take back the house to pay off the debt.

After waiting for his parents to be buried, Jia Fugui begged someone to build a bamboo shed with bamboo next to his parents' graves, and then took the initiative to find those who borrowed money and gave them the house.

Although Jia Fugui didn't say much about how he survived that period of time, Zhang An, who had seen a lot of similar things on the news network, could figure out what happened with his ass.

How can an eleven or twelve-year-old child survive? It's nothing more than petty theft and poor begging.

"Brother Zhang, look at my qualifications, can I cultivate?" Jia Fugui pulled Zhang An's sleeve and looked at Zhang An pitifully.

Glancing at Jia Fugui, who was clean and tidy despite his clothes being covered with patches, Zhang An said softly, "Everyone can cultivate, as long as they have perseverance and perseverance, they can achieve something." ”

Although Jia Fugui nodded again and again with a look of joy on his face when he heard this, the dissatisfaction he thought he had hidden well was really looked at by Zhang Anzhen.

Jia Fugui must have thought that Zhang An was just perfunctory to himself, so he was unhappy.

However, Zhang An also knew that Jia Fugui, who had to beg for a life at the bottom of the society after the changes in his family, hid his emotions was just a means of self-preservation that he had already cultivated, so Zhang An didn't say anything.

Next, Jia Fugui no longer asked if he could cultivate, but instead asked where Zhang An had been and whether he had seen anything interesting.

Just chatting with Jia Fugui without a match, the group finally arrived at the place where the bandits were infested.

But the man in the lead stopped, saying that he wanted to eat something and rest.

Zhang An looked at the three adult men with heavy faces, pouted secretly, and said in his heart, "Can you still eat in your current mood?"

But to Zhang An's surprise, the three men actually took out a lot of food from the ox cart.

Zhang An ate a chicken leg he had shared, and thought maliciously, could it be that this was the severed head meal arranged by Guo County's order?

While eating, Jia Fugui walked to Zhang An's side slowly, and asked Zhang An to see his qualifications.

As for how to look at the qualifications, Wang Yue once taught Zhang An.

The reason is simple.

Every power is made up of an infinite number of talents, both in the state and in private organizations.

When Wang Yue's subordinates walked around, if they met a young man with good qualifications, after passing the test of heart and character, they would bring the young man back to Xudu and teach swordsmanship.

Only by constantly flowing in can we ensure that the sect established by Wang Yue will continue to flourish.

Zhang An didn't want to pay attention to Jia Fugui, but in the end, he couldn't grind Jia Fugui, so he could only put down the food in his hand and test it for Jia Fugui.

However, this inspection made Zhang An feel like he had knocked on the stone and got a piece of beautiful jade.

Jia Fugui's body is very weak, which is not surprising, after all, Jia Fugui usually does not eat well, and it is normal for some malnutrition.

However, when Zhang An injected his qi into Jia Fugui's body and checked Jia Fugui's qualifications, he made an unexpected discovery.

In Jia Fugui's dantian, there was already a weak qi.

However, when there was no external stimulation, this qi just shrank lifelessly at Jia Fugui's dantian.

However, when Zhang An's qi appeared in Jia Fugui's meridians, that qi suddenly woke up, like a vicious wolf guarding his own territory, and pounced on Zhang An's qi.

What especially surprised Zhang An was that although this qi was weak, it was very powerful, and when he rushed towards Zhang An's qi, there was a faint sound of Zheng Zheng sword.

Although Zhang An didn't understand why qi appeared in the body of people who couldn't practice qi, Zhang An knew the meaning of this qi.

Whether there is this qi or not is of great significance to Jia Fugui.

Zhang An naturally did not fight back and disperse this qi, but took his qi back.

Without external stimulation, the qi in Jia Fugui's body suddenly became honest.

If Zhang An disperses this qi, Jia Fugui can only be reduced to an ordinary person with average qualifications.

But if this qi has been left in Jia Fugui's body, although Jia Fugui has not learned to practice qi and cannot use it, this qi will still spontaneously and slowly improve Jia Fugui's physical fitness, and even under the cultivation of this qi with sword intent, Jia Fugui will become a natural swordsman.

The premise is that someone can unearth this beautiful jade hidden in the stone.

Although Zhang An found out, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

I have to be busy looking for stones, if it is not for the compulsion of life, where will I spend time here to suppress bandits. Although Xiao Hei is young, he is already a strong man, and if he brings Jia Fugui with him, his speed will be greatly slowed down.

But he has been away from Xu Du for nearly a month, if he makes a special trip to send Jia Fugui back, it will be a waste of time, not to mention, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to see acquaintances before he collects all the stones.

However, thinking of the time when Wang Yue taught him, Zhang An was a little hesitant, and found such a talented and beautiful jade, but he didn't give it to Wang Yue, which was really a little unreasonable.

Zhang An fell into a difficult situation.

"Brother Zhang, how is it?" Jia Fugui asked worriedly.

"It's okay, if you work hard enough, you can become a strong person. Zhang An said indifferently quietly.

Zhang An's ability to hide his emotions, where is Jia Fugui, a hairy boy, comparable to Jia Fugui, Jia Fugui naturally didn't see through Zhang Anxin's thoughts, but continued to ask, "How strong can it be?"

Zhang An avoided answering this question, and instead asked, "Why do you want to learn martial arts?"

Jia Fugui did not hesitate at all, and opened his mouth to say a large number of popular answers.

For example, learning martial arts can strengthen the body, and after learning well, you can improve your life.

But when Zhang An's question was just spoken, Zhang An saw a trace of murderous intent and bitter hatred flash in Jia Fugui's eyes.

Zhang Anxin made a decision.

At this moment, the leading man said, "Brother Zhang, let's go on." ”

Zhang An agreed, stood up and said to Jia Fugui lightly, "Sometimes, opportunities tend to slip away in front of lies. And once this opportunity slips away, there is no second time. ”

After Zhang An finished speaking, he didn't care about Jia Fugui's complicated face, and turned to leave.

In the next journey, Jia Fugui was completely honest, but Zhang An occasionally saw Jia Fugui looking at him secretly, obviously Jia Fugui still didn't give up.

After walking silently for a while, the place where the bandits haunted arrived.

The place where the bandits haunted was a small forest next to the main road, and behind the grove was a large mountain.

Zhang An glanced at the dense forest, and said in his heart that this gang of bandits is smart, guarding this dense forest to rob, if there are officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress, as long as they can run into the woods, they can hide in the mountains, and the number of county soldiers in Yangzhai is not much, so it is naturally impossible to search the mountains on a large scale, no wonder Guo County Ling is helpless against this group of thieves.

When the group was about to walk through the grove, more than a dozen big men jumped out of the woods and surrounded Zhang An and his party.

A middle-aged man with a long knife and thick eyebrows and big eyes said in a vicious voice, "Leave the thing!"

The three men who were holding on all the way saw that the bandits had really appeared, and their faces turned pale and trembled.

Although Jia Fugui's face was still a little bloody, he sneaked closer to Zhang An, as if he wanted to seek protection.

Zhang An didn't pay attention to them, but carefully observed the robbers in front of him.

There were twelve of these robbers, holding knives, guns, sticks, axes and other weapons of different kinds, all with hideous faces, and putting on a fierce look.

However, in Zhang An's eyes, these people seem to be vicious, but their strength is not worth mentioning.

Because in Zhang An's perception, no one can make himself feel a sense of crisis, of course, it is not excluded that someone can hide his true strength well, so Zhang An did not relax his vigilance.

The two sides were deadlocked for a while, and when the robbers showed impatient looks on their faces, Zhang An opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, stay a line, and see each other in the future, it's not easy for everyone to beg for food, how about leaving half of these goods?"

"Phew, grandpa let you stay all!" The big man who spoke before showed hesitation, but after a robber with an axe scolded, he rushed to Zhang An's eyes with an axe, and swept towards Zhang An's neck when he raised the axe.

Zhang An didn't look at the big man, his right hand held the hilt of the sword, and moved slightly.

A deep black light flashed.

The axe in Dahan's hand shattered silently, and Zhang An's long sword was firmly against Dahan's throat.

"What a sharp sword!" the robber exclaimed.

"Let go of the third child!" a robber on Zhang An's right shouted angrily, raising the spear in his hand and stabbing at Zhang An.

The long sword in Zhang An's hand trembled slightly, and he quickly cut off the approaching spear with a speed that everyone present could not see, and then pressed it against the throat of the big man holding the handle of the axe in his hand.

The gun-wielding robber looked down at the iron spear with the head of the gun cut off and the barrel as thick as a child's arm, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhang An's long sword.

It was a long sword with a black body and no traces of forgiving, as if it were made of nature.

What's even more peculiar is that although this black sword is extremely sharp, it doesn't make people feel that there is a trace of sharpness in the long sword itself.

This black sword that gives people a peculiar feeling is called Zhanlu.
