[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

The Zhu brothers lived in Suzhou for a long time, and they are natives of Suzhou.His father Zhu Chong was poor and humble when he was young, but later he made a fortune and became a famous businessman. Only then did he have the opportunity to flatter Cai Jing and win an official position for his son.

After they gained power, they built the Yingfeng Bureau in Suzhou, searched for people's fat and people's anointing, and built a Taizhen Pavilion full of rare treasures for the emperor and princes to live in when they play.

The two brothers own many houses, all of which are located in the best corners of Suzhou and Hangzhou. They also built gardens and villas near the lake, claiming that they want to enjoy the scenery of the mountains and rivers while they are busy with business.

Suzhou is adjacent to Taihu Lake, therefore, there is also Zhu's property on the shore of Taihu Lake.But it didn't take long for the Twelve Links to occupy Taihu Lake and become one of the five lakes of the Dragon King of the Five Lakes.Su Ye never took the initiative to provoke them, and the houses were safe and sound.But they were suspicious and always felt that if they stayed any longer, they would definitely be assassinated by the bastards at Twelve Links Pier, so they never came to live there again.

After reading the information, Su Ye learned that Zhu Liyue lived in a garden beside the Suzhou Canal with three concubines.

That garden was one of his principal residences.The garden is full of exotic flowers and stones, which were designed and arranged by Zhu Yu himself. There is a five-story "Zhaixing Pavilion", which allows him to enjoy the beautiful scenery of thousands of lights and thousands of willows on the canal while having fun. no more.

After handing over the affairs to the general manager, she appointed and confirmed the candidates one by one, and then set off for Suzhou.

This time, the specific itinerary was very troublesome.In addition to the most important weapons and gunpowder, there are more than a thousand kinds of poisons in Cheng Lingsu's hands.She has four mountain manor forests in the south of the Yangtze River, specializing in cultivating these things, but after arriving in Bianliang, she may not be able to do things cheaply.She had spent all her time thinking about what to take and how to take it, let alone escorting her personally.

At times like this, Su Ye felt that being a leader had great benefits.

They needed to keep in touch with her on the way, and they were responsible for making sure that the convoy was safe and sound and that it had not been hijacked by other forces. They also had to continue to listen to reports from the inner and outer twelve docks and give timely feedback. Naturally, it was very hard work.

Therefore, in Suzhou City, she became the most leisurely and comfortable one.

She was dressed as a scholar, hid the night knife in her sleeve, and only wore a jade flute around her waist.Cheng Lingsu has the best ability to change faces, but she is not bad either. She modified her face a little to cover up the beautiful radiance of a woman, and slightly changed the shape of her facial features. She immediately became a handsome young scholar.

After arriving in Suzhou, she always walked alone and never revealed her identity to her subordinates.Suzhou was originally Zhu Xi's territory, so it's hard to say who has the upper hand.Since she wanted to act alone, there was no need to alarm more people and cause the news to leak.

Suzhou is more sunny and warmer than Jinling. Even though it is almost winter, the wind blowing on our face is only cool, not chilly.The people on the street wore thicker clothes, but they still had fun, drinking wine and reciting poems, as if they were still living in spring.

She came to the bank of the canal, bought a small painting boat, and paddled the boat to the upper reaches of the river alone.

Unlike Jinling, Suzhou is more like a graceful water town beauty.After all, Jinling was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and its majesty was there. Although there is a saying that "Jinling's royal aura is sadly withdrawn", it still maintains a very strong majestic demeanor.It was also out of this consideration that Su Ye decided to locate the rudder of Twelve Links in Jinling.

She has been to Suzhou many times, and she is quite familiar with it. When paddling the river with a penny, she looked at the restaurants and brothels on both sides of the canal, her eyes were full of softness and wealth, but her face was expressionless.

When Thunder Martial Hall competed with Twelve Links, it was at a disadvantage most of the time. She pushed forward step by step and squeezed it in an orderly manner. The power had already declined greatly, and it was difficult to compete with her.What's even more ironic is that in "Sealing the Sword and Hanging the Sword in Leijiabao", there were internal strife and divisions.

A few years ago, Lei Zhenlei, Lei Shun and others led their elites to leave Jiangnan, and established the Six and a Half Church in the capital, which became the power in the capital supported by the Thunder Martial Hall.

Seeing their prosperity and power, the other children inevitably felt envious of them.The younger generation feels that the older generation is rigid and old-fashioned, and only plays with ancestral gunpowder, which makes people in the martial arts look down on them.However, the older generation thinks that youngsters are frivolous and rebellious, and dislike the unique knowledge left by their ancestors, which is very rebellious.

Leijiabao, like Tangjiabao, was built on the basis of blood relatives.The two factions disagreed with each other, but before reaching the point of bloody conflict, the rift gradually widened.After Lei Shun, another outstanding Lei family disciple left to establish various influences in the rivers and lakes, and refused to obey the old man Lei Jiabao's orders.

Later, Su Ye fell in love with Thunderbolt Hall's research on firearms, and appreciated the effort they put into firearms.She believes that as long as it is used properly and developed carefully, it will become a fighting force beyond this era, so she regards the Thunder Hall as more important than any other force.

However, the members of Thunder Martial Hall are mixed, good and bad, there are knights and righteous men, but there are also many people with evil intentions.Considering that Liufentang is still alive, she often interacts with the treacherous party in the DPRK and China, and is the enemy of Jinfengxiaoyulou, so she gave up the idea of ​​alliance with Thunder Hall, and tried her best to fight with it, constantly squeezing and annexing it.

In the past ten years, the power of the Twelve Links has spread to the north of the Yangtze River, but it is difficult to continue to advance northward. It is precisely because of the echoes of the Six and a Half Hall and the Thunder Hall that it has brought her great trouble.

Fortunately, she suffered a loss, and Thunder Mart suffered even more.Although Lei Shun's forces are strong, he wants to deal with Golden Wind and Rain House wholeheartedly. It is really difficult to fully support Lei's family, and everything still depends on Thunder Martial Hall itself.

Quite a few people saw the menacing approach of the Twelve Links, and actually had a second internal strife.They blamed each other, saying that this was useless, that was disobedient, and they disliked that everyone could not work together to resist foreign enemies.When the disgust is over, they will refuse to accept each other, and the elite will leave again.

A group of people went to the capital and took refuge in Lei Shan, thinking that doing so would be more promising.A group of people voluntarily followed Brother Zhu, using the power of the Southeast King to evade the pursuit of the Jiangnan King, and they could exchange their skills for glory and wealth.There is another group of people who do not want to be with these people, or live scattered in the rivers and lakes, or go to the forces established by the Lei family,

As for those with higher aspirations and greater abilities, they thought that ordinary forces were not qualified to order them, so they simply joined the "six thieves" in the court directly, thinking that if the time was right, they might be replaced by thunder damage.

Su Ye saw that Thunder Martial Hall's defeat was set, so he put an end to his worries. He planned to observe Su Mengzhen's character first, and if there were no accidents, he would cooperate with Golden Wind and Rain Building to try to defeat Liufenbantang together.

In this way, the Thunder Martial Hall will lose its last hope and will be completely torn apart.Even if they are extremely arrogant and unwilling to obey the Twelve Links, she can take in more Leimen disciples who have given up, put them in a suitable position, and concentrate on making and developing firearms.

In her mind, she happened to think of several experts from the Lei family who had taken refuge in Zhu Xi, and began to review their martial arts, personalities, and gunpowder hidden weapons they were good at.Although these people are powerful, they still can't stop Ye Dao. I just don't know if Zhu Liyue has obtained more bodyguards from the court or the palace these days.

All of a sudden, she took the penny back out of the water, with a look of incomparable surprise in her eyes, and looked at a little red light on the distant river bank.

That's where the Zhu family's courtyard is. Once the grass people approach, they will be beaten away by the courtyard.Seen from here, the Zhaixing Tower has flying eaves and bucket arches, covered with glazed bamboo tiles, it is very majestic and gorgeous, just like a prince's house.However, this very famous pavilion is burning.The light of the fire went from small to large, so that people in the distance could see it.

It is absolutely impossible for a person like Zhu Liyue to "accidentally catch fire" at home.This means that someone is doing something there and igniting the Star Picking Pavilion.That person may be Sun Qingxia, or someone else.As long as he is against Zhu Liyue, Su Ye is willing to temporarily regard him as an ally.

The penny paddled into the river wave again, and with a light pull, it easily changed the flow direction and speed of the nearby river.The small painting boat was excited by the huge force, and it jumped straight forward, moving forward on the canal like a flying fish.

She has long been accustomed to accidents, but she never thought that the accident would not happen to herself, but to the enemy instead.The burning of the Zhaixing Pavilion must have targeted Zhu Liyue who lived in the Changju Pavilion.

In the rivers and lakes, there are many people who want to eradicate traitors with their own hands and eliminate this evil for Jiangnan, but they don't have the corresponding skills.There are not many people who dare to do this, can do it, and can do it.

Su Ye stretched out his hand and lowered the veils on both sides of the bamboo hat, covering his changed face.Her eyes sparkled behind the veil with a gleam of surprise and curiosity.

People in water towns live by the river, and there is a side door in each house, and you can go to the river when you go out, and you can fetch water for washing in the river.Zhu Liyue did it more thoroughly, and built a small pier outside the side door so that he could get on the boat with his legs lifted.

The fire intensified and eventually shot into the sky.The billowing black smoke rose straight up, hitting the stars and a bright moon in the night sky, as if they also covered the stars and moon with a black veil.Although there are fire prevention arrangements in the Zhaixing Pavilion, the fire originated from the thunderbolts of the Thunderbolt Hall, and there is nitrous oil to support the combustion, so it is difficult to extinguish.

Soon, the people on both sides of the courtyard were also alarmed.These people are either rich or noble, watching the fire in their own yard, they are a little terrified.

Taking advantage of their confusion, Su Ye hurried to the destination, glanced at the tightly closed door, and when he looked up again, he saw a flash of a knife on the top of the Star Picking Pavilion.

Not only did she recognize the light of the knife, but she also saw a splash of blood after the light of the knife flickered. She was surprised and focused her eyes, wanting to see more clearly.

No matter what happened to Zhu Liyue, the guards in the garden were alarmed, and exclamations came from time to time.The roof of the pavilion is like another world, filled with fire and black smoke, and bathed in the light of stars and moon, it is very desolate and charming.

The light of the blade flickered continuously, the coldness was like blue frost, like a blue flame, more like a cold moonlight, it seemed that all the light merged together and gathered together on the edge of the blade.

Su Ye had never seen such a knife technique before, and was attracted by it unconsciously, staring intently at the knife and the person using it.As a result, she hadn't looked at it for a long time, and the light of the knife suddenly skyrocketed.A figure came down from the roof of the pavilion like a god descending into the world.

In an instant, she gave up the idea of ​​going in to help, withdrew the surge of true energy, picked up the penny again, and waited calmly.

It is easy to kill, but difficult to escape.No matter whether this person is a thief, a thief, a bandit, or a killer who also went to kill Zhu Liyue, she is willing to wait on the canal, ready to help him.

As she expected, that person chose the canal as his escape location instead of going straight into Suzhou City.After plundering the Star Picking Pavilion, he immediately turned over and leaped towards the endlessly flowing canal outside the back wall.

Su Ye stood on the painting boat, lightly holding the penny, as if frightened by the noise in the garden, and dared not move.But her six senses have been raised to the peak, and her spiritual consciousness is also spreading, giving her a clear view of the surrounding situation.She knew everyone's location in the garden and what they were doing, and she waited for the opportunity to strike before she charged.

A smile suddenly appeared on her face.

There was a muffled sound from the whitewashed wall, and the hole burst open, and sand and stone were scattered everywhere, and it was cut through by someone with a knife.The man flew out of the hole, jumped down the canal without hesitation, and at the same time glanced at Su Ye.

He is not tall, although his physique is strong, but it is not beyond the point of ordinary people, he seems to be just an ordinary warrior.Su Ye focused his eyes on his face, and saw that he had a handsome face, his eyebrows were like knives, the mustache on his lips was more like knives than his eyebrows, and his eyes were as sharp as the knives he used just now.

The knife had been retracted into its sheath.The scabbard is made of wood, and many Zhu Fu seal scripts are carved, which is quite ancient.The handle is half the length of the blade, which is different from ordinary knives.The knife exudes a faint aroma of sandalwood, as if it has been worshiped in front of the Buddha all year round.

At the same time he entered the water, beside Su Ye, the side door painted in red and inlaid with copper nails suddenly opened.

A black hidden weapon like a water chestnut was thrown out from the door.
