Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities

"Know?" Shangguan Rong looked at Xu Qiu curiously.

Xu Qiu was silent for a moment and nodded, "She is from the Mu family..."

"Mu family?" Shangguan Rong was confused at first, and then thought of Xu Qiu being abducted and sold to the Mu family as a maid in her early years, "Do you have a grudge against you?"

There was a bit of murderous intent in her eyes.

During this period of following Xu Guang, she could naturally see how much this master valued his family.

She was able to survive as an orphan without so much unnecessary kindness.

In today's troubled times, only the strong are qualified to show mercy to others.

Xu Qiu shook her head when she heard this. She just looked at the figure kneeling in the corner silently.

She recognized the woman in front of her. She was the maid beside the fourth young lady of the Mu family in the past. The fourth young lady had a close relationship with Mu Hanshuang, who had always bullied her. However, he never bullied her. Instead, he sent her away when Mu Hanshuang wanted to send her away. , he opened his mouth to speak to her.

She disagreed, so Shangguan Rong didn't speak. He just looked at her and squeezed her hand comfortingly.

"Sister Rong, please help me find out how the Mu family is doing now."

The way the fourth lady is acting now, it is easy to think that something happened to the Mu family.

Shangguan Rong nodded and did not go to look for the woman in the corner. After all, according to Xu Qiu, this woman was just a son of the Mu family, that is, the daughter of a servant. She probably wouldn't be able to get any valuable information.

She came to Yao Hui and talked about Xu Qiu.

Yao Hui nodded and said softly, "I'll tell the master."

She was responsible for guarding Xu Qiu and could not leave easily, so she used the contact method to find the other people around Xu Guang and told Xu Guang what happened to Xu Qiu.

Soon, news about the Mu family was received.

Two years ago, the Mu family was also a member of Mu Entang, but their family background was not enough. In troubled times, families with insufficient background but occupying high positions would not end well.

So in the overt and covert fights between the three clans of Mu Entang, the Mu family... was killed.

This is normal. It is common for the boss and the second child to fight and the third child to die.

After the death of the three masters of the three transformations of the Mu family, the huge Mu family collapsed. A group of forces, large and small, chased the family and demanded debts. The core members of the Mu family died and fled.

Xu Guang frowned as he looked at the information that the ghost doctor had searched.

He almost forgot that Sandao City was where Xu Qiu used to be. Now that he is here...

Thinking of what happened to Xu Qiu in the past, he sighed slowly.

If it weren't for Miss Mu Yourong from the Mu family, I probably wouldn't have met Xu Qiu, so I might as well search for it and repay the favor for Xu Qiu.

Within a quarter of an hour, he found Mu Yourong's whereabouts.

…

Sandao City is prosperous, and there are naturally many places of smoke and willows.

Even these custom industries have formed an entire street. Few people remember the original name of this street. Now it is called Xunhuawen Liudao.

Beauty Pavilion is inconspicuous on this street. After all, there are no famous girls and no commendable background. It seems that they can barely survive.

Few people know that the core members of the Mu family are now hidden in this inconspicuous flower building.

This place was originally Mu Yourong's property. Of course, it was not because she wanted to do it, but because she failed to awaken her bloodline and her martial arts qualifications were mediocre. She was despised by her family members. Even her cousin, who had a bad relationship with her in the past, was given directly to her. She has a flower house, and she calls it a flower house and lets her take care of it.

But even the servants of the Mu family could tell that this was clearly an opportunity to insult Mu Yourong, saying that she just had a pretty face and was born to be sold.

Fortunately, the elder of the Mu family learned about this and reprimanded the eldest lady.

But secretly, the eldest lady forced Mu Yourong to take over, and the flower house disappeared from the Mu family's property, thus giving the Mu family a place to stay, now like a bereaved dog.

"What did Mu Yourong say that she still doesn't want to?"

The speaker was a mean-looking woman named Guan Jiao, Mu Yourong's third aunt.

When the Mu family fell into disrepair, although these people took away a lot of money, they were all martial arts practitioners and how long could they last.

It is a very good idea to run Beauty Square. After all, for the top names on this street, a thousand gold a night is nothing. With Mu Yourong's appearance, maybe even if the price is three thousand gold, some people will pay. If it is the first night, it is estimated that Start with ten thousand gold.

"The third lady said she would rather die than die."

"Rebellion against her!" Guan Jiao was furious and looked at Mu Hanlin sitting aside, "Look at the good niece you taught. Now Kuo'er is in the critical period of breaking through the second transformation. Let her make some sacrifices. I have to seek death and life, and I don’t even care about you as the head of the family!"

Mu Hanlin glanced at his wife with a headache, feeling helpless. Before the Mu family declined, although Guan Jiao was willful, at least he had a decent face towards the daughters in the family.

But the Mu family was in decline, and Guan Jiao's second transformation was almost the top master of the Mu family today, and he was very helpless.

"Let me go and persuade you. At this time, you really can't let Yourong continue to be willful." Mu Hanlin said softly.

He actually didn't object. After all, he could even sacrifice his biological daughter Mu Hanshuang, so what couldn't he give up?

Mu Hanlin discussed with Guan Jiao without avoiding anyone, and soon the news reached Mu Yourong's ears.

She was indeed very beautiful, especially when she was a child. She was like a beautiful girl in a painting. In addition, her father died young for the sake of the family, so she was deeply loved by Master Mu at that time. When he traveled all over the country, he would take her with him. , which is why she was able to meet Xu Qiu.

But the good times did not last long. In just a few years, first, Mr. Mu failed to break through to the Grand Master, his vitality was severely damaged, his lifespan was greatly reduced, and he died seven years later. Then, she failed to awaken the Mu family's Baishuang bloodline, and her martial arts qualifications were not considered. Excellent, deprived of fees.

The collapse of the Mu family should have been a good thing for her. After all, she no longer had to accept her fate and listen to her uncles discussing which family to marry her to or which big shot to serve as a concubine.

but…

Listening to the maid next to her telling her about the discussion between Mu Hanlin and Guan Jiao just now, Mu Yourong looked miserable.

"Miss, how about... let's run away? The second master doesn't dare to chase us." The maid next to her said eagerly.

Mu Yourong was kind-hearted. Although he didn't want to accept the beauty building at first, after taking over it, he used his own money to subsidize it so that the women in the building who didn't want to come out could live in peace. With her small treasury, In fact, he trained some warriors.

But it was too difficult to escape under the nose of the second aunt who was in the second state of transformation.

Mu Yourong heard the words of the maid beside him and was about to speak when someone suddenly pushed the door open and whispered.

"Miss, I have a letter from you."

"My letter?" Mu Yourong was surprised, "Where did it come from?"

"It's a woman who claims to be from Youzhou. She said that their lady will come to visit you tomorrow."

Mu Yourong became even more surprised, "Youzhou, I have never been to Youzhou."

But he still reached out to take the letter from the maid's hand and opened it to read.

"I am very happy to know that Miss Mu is still in Xuzhou.

We haven't seen each other for many years. We meet again after a long absence. I don't know how the eldest lady is doing. Tomorrow is her birthday. I will visit you in person. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you. "

There is no name tag at the place where the name is left, just a slightly scrawled flower.

This is…

A picture suddenly appeared in Mu Yourong's mind. It was an experience when her grandfather took her on a business trip to Taizhou when she was very young. On the way, they met a group of slave traders. Under the kapok tree, she fell in love with them at first sight. One of the petite girls.

Is it... Fluttershy?

"Where is she? Take me there quickly." Mu Yourong stood up excitedly and walked out.

As soon as he reached the gate, he heard a slightly mean voice.

"Yourong, where are you going?"

Mu Yourong's body trembled, it was Guan Jiao...

She turned back with an ugly expression and said timidly, "It's...Second Aunt, I have a friend looking for me, I'll go out and have a look."

"Friends? Do you still have friends after all these years? Let Second Aunt take a look." Guan Jiao said in a mocking tone.

Mu Yourong had no choice but to go out with him. Following the gate, he saw the carriage that had turned around.

She didn't care that Guan Jiao was beside her and shouted towards the carriage, "Xiaodie, is this you?"

Shangguan Rong in the car glanced at Xu Qiu, saw her nodding, and immediately helped her open the sedan curtain.

Xu Qiu looked at Mu Yourong with complicated eyes, "Miss."

"Xiaodie, it's really you!" Mu Yourong moved forward excitedly.

Guan Jiao stood aside and squinted her eyes. She didn't recognize Xu Qiu, but she felt the strong aura in Xu Qiu's car, at least two masters of three transformations!

This woman's identity is not simple, is she the concubine of the person in the car?

"Miss, my name is not Xiaodie now. I have found my family, and now my name is...Xu Qiu." Xu Qiu suppressed the complexity in her heart, got out of the car and faced Mu Yourong, and whispered.

"Really? Found it?" Mu Yourong seemed to be happy for Xu Qiu. She had indeed found relatives for Xu Qiu in the past, but the Xu family was not a wealthy family in the past. Feiyun City was too big, so Mu Yourong just asked for help. People asked where they could find it.

"Miss, over the years you..."

When Mu Yourong heard her say this, he couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness on his face, "Don't call me Miss. The Mu family is gone. Just call me Yourong."

Xu Qiu nodded and was about to speak.

Then she heard Guan Jiao suddenly say, "Yourong, you haven't introduced her to aunt yet, whose wife is this girl? She must be very popular with her beauty, right?"

These words instantly made Xu Qiu frown. When she frowned, Yao Hui in the car certainly noticed it, so she nodded lightly to the side.

Guan Jiao didn't notice the inappropriateness in her words. After all, she lived in such a busy place and was inadvertently disturbed, so her words were a little troubling. What's more, the person who was close to Mu Yourong could be a big shot. She didn't even use it. Don't control your words and deeds.

"Auntie, I'm not married yet, so please worry about it. You are so ugly, you must have been married many times, right?"

Guan Jiao didn't know Xu Qiu, but Xu Qiu would never forget her. She had often made things difficult for her and Mu Yourong in the past.

Following Xu Guang all these years, even if Bai Yujing dared to go against the Wu family for his nephew, in today's situation, how could he be used to Guan Jiao after recalling the past for many years.

"You! Little girl, you are very sharp!"

Guan Jiao's whole body burst out with strength, but before he could move forward, he suddenly stopped.

The curtain of the carriage rolled up, revealing Yao Hui's figure.

"Yourong, come with me." Xu Qiu said softly.

Mu Yourong wanted to say something else, but Xu Qiu pulled him into the car. After all, Mu Yourong could be regarded as her benefactor. From Guan Jiao's attitude, it could be seen that she had not lived a good life these years, and she did not need to Don't worry about these.

"Isn't it too rude of you, your Excellency? Are you going to take away members of our Mu family?"

Yao Hui stepped out with her sword, stood on the road, and glanced at Guan Jiao calmly, "My master will give you an explanation tomorrow."

Guan Jiao stood there, listening to the comments of the people around him, blushing, turned around and walked angrily towards the Beauty Pavilion.

"Mu Hanlin, go find the Wang family, I want Mu Yourong and that little bitch to die!"

…

…

"Sir, the third lady is back. Miss Mu's condition is not good."

An old man stood in front of Xu Guang, looking at him respectfully and said.

Xu Guang, who was adjusting his breath, opened his eyes and chuckled, "There are a few women from declining families who can live a good life. If Qiu'er doesn't have any objections, you can go and deal with it."

After a pause, he said softly, "The Mu family is also a big family, let's give them some dignity."

Xu Guang was not interested in the results, and the ruined Mu family really couldn't lift his spirits.

Even when the Mu family was at its peak, they were just like chickens and dogs in front of him.

If Xu Qiu is dissatisfied with those people, he will kill them.

"yes."

After he left, Xu Guang closed his eyes. As his strength continued to improve, he needed to practice a lot. If he wanted to maintain his combat power, the improvement of Xuanwu skills was also essential.

The battle of a warrior is actually very pure. To put it bluntly, it is a competition in terms of strength, speed, consciousness, etc. Strength and body are all serving these aspects. All his attributes are considered to be the top among the masters, and his only shortcoming is , is the speed...

It can't be said to be a shortcoming, because of the tyranny of his physical body and the vastness of his strength, his speed is not slow among the masters.

But after getting married, he planned to go out and become the best in the world.

Being number one in the world cannot have any shortcomings.

He suddenly remembered that when he was in Youzhou before, there was a treasure called the Seven-Star Cup, which recorded a light skill at the level of Earth-grade Xuanwu.

But now, he has become somewhat disdainful of Xuanwu skills of this level.

Let's search for it first. If you are on your way, it would be a good idea to go back and pick it up.

Immediately, he searched the several major states he passed through to see if there was any Qinggong that had reached the heavenly level.

Mu Yourong actually knew nothing about Xu Qiu's family, but when she was a child, she heard that it was just a farmer's home in Feiyun City, Qingzhou, but now...

She looked dizzy as she looked at all the people in the house saluting Xu Qiu.

She felt that everyone here was stronger than the second aunt she had ever seen.

"Xiao...Xu Qiu, your family is..."

Xu Qiu smiled brightly and said with a hint of pride, "They have nothing to do with me. They are my second brother's people. I will take you to meet my second brother later."

"Then your second brother is..."

"A small city lord in Youzhou."

"oh."

Mu Yourong's face really surprised Xu Guang. He had a slender waist and long legs. The key was his pitiful appearance, with a kind of Lin Daiyu-like beauty.

However, he was getting married soon and had no intention of provoking any of this, but he had nothing to say after meeting her once.

In the afternoon, the motorcade set off again, and Mu Hanlin's family naturally went to where they should go. Xu Guang gave some money to the group of people from Beauty House under Mu Yourong, allowing them to stay in Xuzhou and inquire about the news.

Just treat it as a casual chess game, some female warriors who can only practice dirty tricks. It can't be said to be useful to him.

On the way back, Xu Guang unscrupulously put up the "Xu" flag. The things he committed in Taizhou had already spread. This was supposed to be a serious crime that implicated the nine tribes. Naturally, no one dared to offer a reward at this moment.

Even where he passed, many warriors avoided him. After all, Xu Guang was moody and would destroy the whole family of the Wei Mansion just because of his disrespect. His behavior was too cruel, and ordinary warriors would certainly avoid it.

Yes, the investigation results given by the two major forces in Taizhou were that Xu Guang had a deep hatred for the Wei Mansion. However, based on the information obtained from Youzhou, the warriors from Green Forest and even the small forces speculated that the reason why Xu Guang destroyed the entire Wei Mansion was because the Wei Mansion was disrespectful to him.

This is very demonizing, but this is Jianghu.

"May I ask if City Lord Xu of Source City is in person? A certain Wei Hu wants to defect to the City Lord."

"Hurry up and leave. My master is in a good mood today and doesn't want to kill anyone."

An old man with a bad expression was sitting in the car and scolded casually.

These days, because many forces are afraid of Xu Guang, some warriors who have committed crimes want to defect to Xu Guang so that Xu Guang can help them take on the trouble.

Xu Guang left these matters to Yao Hui and the others. If he intervened, he would usually kill people.

After all, he is not a nanny for others. If someone commits a crime and comes to him, he will be killed.

However, he also took in a few second-transformation warriors with innocent backgrounds, all of whom were women. Quan thought he was looking for bodyguards for the women in his family.

In the carriage, Xu Qiu and Mu Yourong sat opposite each other, with Mu Yourong looking resentful.

"You also said that your second brother is the small city lord of Youzhou?"

Xu Qiu smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to hold Mu Yourong's hand, "Yuan City is very small, even smaller than our hometown Feiyun City. What is it if it's not a small town?"

"..."

That's right. Youzhou is not a great place, and Yuancheng was not well-known before. That is because Xu Guang, now in the Central Plains, knows the 'small city' of Youzhou. .

Mu Yourong looked at Xu Qiu, hesitated for a long time, and said softly, "Qiuqiu, let me tell you a secret. You can tell your second brother later, maybe he will be interested."

"What secret?" Xu Qiu was a little surprised.

"The secret about the destruction of my Mu family..."

…

Xu Guang looked at the map in Xu Qiu's hand with some surprise, then looked at Mu Yourong and said warmly.

"Miss Mu, are you sure that the altar calls itself Black Lotus Monk?"

Facing Xu Guang, the 'devil' who was known as the human devil, Mu Yourong acted very embarrassed and nervous. At least on the way, she and Xu Qiu got off the car and listened to the discussions of the warriors in the inn. The man in front of her was a murderer. The blinking devil.

"Yes, my third uncle and the others were deceived and then eaten by that meat altar."

Xu Guang lowered his eyebrows, a little surprised.

It's really...bizarre.

Before, he went to Feiliuchuan to fight Sankong. On the way, he got a scroll of human skin paper claiming to be the Black Lotus Monk. He said in a loud voice that Xu Guang's power of destroying demons could be restored with just one breath.

Xu Guang was surprised. He planned to use it to gain merit, but who knew that the thing was broken and could not be revived.

Unexpectedly, I met the person behind the human skin paper.

It's a pity that I didn't bring the human skin with me when I came, otherwise I could try to revive it.

However, Mu Yourong's news is good. The human skin paper where the Black Lotus Monk's soul and will reside can provide massive merits. If the 'flesh altar' of his body is wiped out, will it help him break through to heaven?

Sure enough, I still need to walk more.

There are treasures everywhere in this world.

The bone path is not enough, now there is also a meat altar suspected of being a black lotus monk.
