The World of Martial Arts

Chapter 17
Xu Zhengping provided the strategy, which was carried out by the upper echelons of the Nanshan Clan, and this has basically been the case since then.

The tranquility of Yuhang County lasted for nearly a year, and the law and order in the county had a qualitative change compared to before, which immediately attracted many foreign merchants to come to do business.

Xu Zhengping reformed many unreasonable old practices. Although he would also collect protection fees, he would not forcibly interfere with commerce and workshops, and delegated power to various guilds for autonomy.

He also negotiated terms with the government, and the government was willing to decentralize the power at the grassroots level, so that although Yuhang County was dominated by the Nanshan Gang, it was more prosperous than before.

In addition to the [-]% tax and the government's tax, the insurance premiums given to the Nanshan Gang are actually lower, which is almost symbolic. The pressure on merchants from all walks of life is less than before, and the safety is substantial. Guaranteed.

Although the premiums collected by the Nanshan Gang are small, every businessman can collect them, so the whole amount is huge, even more than before.

In this way, all the industries and businesses in Yuhang County were completely activated and prospered day by day.

All walks of life have such an explosive growth in profits. Without the harassment of various gang moths and government servants, Yuhang County has become the most prosperous county in the nearby state capital.

The development of the economy naturally drives the development of other entertainment industries, but these industries are monopolized by the Nanshan Gang, and outsiders are not allowed to intervene.

So it seems that the Nanshan Gang has given up a lot of black income, but in fact the income is more than before, and it is more popular with the locals. As for the underworld forces who come from other places with jealousy, it doesn't matter. Calculate!
There have been several battles like this. The losers not only lost their lives, but their property in other places would also be taken over by the Nanshan Gang.

Some people are secretly probing, and if they fail, they will turn enemies into friends and come to make friends.

For example, in Bibo Mountain Villa, the daughter of the owner Qin Wanhai was killed by Xu Zhengping in the ruined temple, and the murderer has never been investigated. He used the excuse of needing Nanshan's help to find clues, but in fact came to do business and seek alliances. The relationship has been quite close in the past six months. .

But for people like this, Xu Zhengping reminded the two gang leaders to be careful. They are called the Cooperative Alliance, but they are actually looking for the truth. As long as they find an opportunity, they will definitely find ways to replace them.

Although the Nanshan Gang was growing day by day, Xu Zhengping did not get much money from the Nanshan Gang.

The Nanshan Gang has a big business, employs a lot of people, pays them very well, everyone is very loyal, earns gold, spends silver, and Xu Zhengping only has more than three hundred taels a month.

It was also because Xu Zhengping was not stingy and was willing to spend money to invest, which naturally bought the growing strength of the Nanshan Gang.

The number of [-] thugs remained unchanged. Xu Zhengping personally taught martial arts, and was trained by officers and soldiers using military law. Coupled with good treatment, they did not have any worries.

Therefore, in the conflict with any foreign forces, everyone is brave enough to fight and fight hard, occupying an absolute advantage, and playing a great reputation in the major states and counties.

The two gang leaders of the Nanshan Gang are better known to many Jianghu forces, but everyone knows that these two are just puppets, and the low-key Xu Yuanwai is the real underground godfather in power.

It has developed to this point in a year, and it is no longer possible to keep a low profile.

In the south of the Yangtze River, many powers from the rivers and lakes have already set their sights on Yuhang County, a rapidly prosperous territory, and the competition for interests will always be the theme of the rivers and lakes, and Xu Zhengping will definitely not be able to avoid it.

At this time, Xu Zhengping, because he was the shadow godfather, did not interfere in the daily affairs of the gang, and only ensured that he knew the whole truth of the gang by placing cronies in different positions.

Therefore, he can have a lot of time to improve his own strength. In one year, his internal strength of 40 years has been completely precipitated.

The infuriating energy that was originally as vain as Wuling Hongguang is now so solid that it has become Dongfeng trucks. Compared with the self a year ago, head-to-head can beat the former self into scum.

At the same time, the original Twelve Classics only connected six, but now it has increased to ten, which is equivalent to changing the meridians from four lanes to six lanes.

In addition, the improvement of external energy, qi and blood is even more obvious. He was 19 years old when he lived in seclusion a year ago, and now he is only 20 years old, and his body has not completely stopped developing.

Coupled with the fact that there is no shortage of nutrition every day, and the medication keeps up with it, the energy and blood will naturally grow stronger. It is reflected in the outside, that is, the physique has grown significantly, and even the height has grown by a few inches.

The former Xu Zhengping seemed to be only capable, with a tiger back, wasp waist and praying mantis legs, which met the selection criteria of Jin Yiwei.

The current Xu Zhengping looked quite sturdy, he should have been called a tiger-backed bear-yellow mantis-legged body, and his inverted triangle physique had become a long tube.

Only the strength of the muscles and bones has almost doubled, and the physical strength is even longer. Even if you don't rely on internal strength, you can be called a master.

In terms of martial arts, the 37-style Five Tiger Chasing Wind Knife has also been mastered proficiently. Like Arhat Boxing, it can exert the strongest power at any time and from any angle, and it can compete with any superior martial arts moves.

Furthermore, the Eighteen Falls of Zhanyi are also strengthened. The highest state of Eighteen Falls of Zhanyi is that as long as one touches one's own clothes, one will lose balance and fall. Like Taijiquan, the strength of imperial transformation has been practiced to the extreme.

But that requires extremely high internal strength, at least he can get to the acquired peak. Today's Xu Zhengping can't practice at that level, but it is enough to break a thousand catties of strength with a hundred catties of strength, and turn ten catties into one.

This allows him to be sure to defeat the enemy even if he fights hard when he faces an enemy whose internal and external skills are stronger than his own.

Of course, if the opponent's skills are good at penetrating, or the speed is particularly fast, the imperial transformation effect of Zhanyi Eighteen Falls will fail.

This is also the reason why Zhanyi Eighteen Falls is not as good as Taijiquan, and can only be rated as a middle-grade martial arts in Shaolin.

In addition, the level of lightness skills, hidden weapons and poisoning have all improved.

Qinggong used to pull green onions on dry land only up to a height of less than ten feet, but now it can be raised to a height of nearly two feet, and the gecko swimming skill can climb the city wall without making any sound.

In terms of hidden weapons, Xu Zhengping is not the kind of Xiao Li Feidao who practiced, but the vicious type, that is to fight people head-on, and suddenly shoot out poisonous hidden weapons from an unexpected position at very close range.

This kind of kung fu pays attention to surprise, Xu Zhengping mainly practices short-range quickness and accuracy, because of the poison, he doesn't pursue power very much, nor does he pursue long-distance shooting, because it is unnecessary.

As for poison, Xu Zhengping had bought all the medical skills he could. He was proficient in the recipes and solutions of poisons that are common in the Jianghu.

He doesn't have any martial arts spirit, what he has is actual combat awareness, and what he pursues is the effect of killing the enemy, rather than being aboveboard.

No matter how high your martial arts are, you must be able to kill your opponent to be useful.

This kind of way is called evil way in Jianghu, or also called magic way.

Xu Zhengping's kung fu has been trained to this level, even if he refines other kung fu, it is meaningless.

If you want to go further, you must either obtain superior martial arts cheats, or find better inner strength methods, and another method is to find masters of the northern Shaolin Fangzi generation and absorb their inner strength for your own use.

Xu Zhengping was also very quiet and wanted to move. Since working behind closed doors could no longer effectively improve his martial arts, he might as well go for a walk in the rivers and lakes to learn more about the rivers and lakes.

Based on his familiarity with the plot, he may encounter an opportunity, such as the Zixia Magic Art of the Huashan School, which is the best cheat book for the next step.

However, he didn't know, because he had killed eight Shaolin disciples a year ago, and now Shaolin had attracted the attention of Shaolin, and sent people to find the nearby area.
