Chapter 64 Returning Home in Glory

Raozhou, Daning County.

Liu Mansion.

"Jingyi, do you think Chu Ning killed these people from Wushuang Sect?"

Liu Junshan looked at Chen Jingyi expectantly.

"It is possible. Chu Ning already had the strength of a seventh-grade martial artist. Although it is a bit exaggerated to become a martial general so quickly, it is hard to say what kind of opportunity Chu Ning got."

Chen Jingyi knew that her husband was talking about the matter that had caused a stir in the martial arts world in recent days.

Disciples of Wushuang Sect in various states were killed.

There are five states and a total of twenty-six disciples, including five military generals, although they are only the lowest sixth-rank military generals.

But it is a fact recognized by the martial arts world that the disciples of the four major sects are all a little stronger than the warriors of other forces at the same level.

This is the advantage of the practice.

"If it is really Chu Ning, his action is a bit rash. This will only make Wushuang Sect send more powerful people to hunt him down."

"Jingyi, I am the exact opposite of you on this point. I think Chu Ning is right to do this."

Liu Junshan shook his head: "No matter whether Wushuangmen will doubt whether this person is Chu Ning, at least this will attract hatred. In the past few months, Wushuangmen has sent several waves of people to Daning County."

Liu Junshan knew very well what these people from Wushuangmen came to Daning County for.

After not being able to find Chu Ning for such a long time, the third elder of Wushuang Sect became a little anxious. He wanted to find someone Chu Ning cared about in Daning County to threaten Chu Ning to show up.

Under his cover, Wushuangmen failed to find the figure of Chu Ning's old aunt, but Liu Junshan also knew that if Wushuangmen continued to dig like this, they would find Chu Ning's old aunt sooner or later.

Moving Chu Ning's great-aunt away is an action that will only be taken when there is no other choice.

Chu Ning and his great aunt lived in the city for a period of time. The people from Wushuangmen also went to the alleys to investigate and may have known what Chu Ning's great aunt looked like.

It is better to be still than to move.

"That makes sense. With Chu Ning temporarily distracting Wushuangmen's attention, we can think about how to keep Chu Ning's aunt safer."

"As a teacher, I will soon be inferior to my students."

Liu Junshan smiled bitterly. All his disciples had become military generals, but he had not yet broken through to the fifth rank. He was afraid that he would be surpassed by his disciples in a few years. How could he still protect his disciples from the wind and rain?

Chen Jingyi looked at her husband's wry smile and felt relieved in her heart.

Ever since Chu Ning escaped from Daning County, she has rarely seen a smile on her husband's face, at least a wry smile is still considered a smile.

She knew that her husband had a knot in his heart. As a teacher, he could not protect his disciple, and he was very angry. He practiced martial arts desperately during this period.

But when you reach the level of a military general, diligent practice is useful, but it is a process of gradual growth.

Now that she knew Chu Ning had broken through to the rank of military general, her husband's knot in her heart would be slightly relieved.

This is a good thing.

"Junshan, I made a tonic soup to replenish your blood and qi later."

Liu Junshan was stunned. Looking at the emotions expressed in his wife's eyes, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have neglected Jingyi during this period of time.

"My husband is in good health and does not need any tonic soup."

As he spoke, Liu Junshan walked towards his wife. Just as he was about to bend down and pick her up, a flying pigeon landed in the yard.

Carrier pigeons deliver messages.

This is the most effective way of delivering messages used by all the major forces.

Chen Jingyi glanced at her husband, untied the paper tied to the pigeon's feet, opened it and read it, a look of helplessness appeared on her pretty face.

"What's wrong?" Liu Junshan asked, looking at his wife's expression.

"The latest news is that the powerful generals of Jinzhou Wushuangmen were also killed."

"Chu Ning has come to Jinzhou again. My disciple is really good." Liu Junshan was very happy.

"The Wushuang Sect arranged a fourth-rank general in Jinzhou instead of an ordinary general." Chen Jingyi explained: "This mysterious strong man targeting the Wushuang Sect should not be Chu Ning."

No matter how talented Chu Ning is, he can only enter the realm of a military general at best, which is also the sixth rank. He cannot possibly be a match for a fourth rank military general.

Martial artists can fight across borders with the help of divine powers or some other means, but it is almost impossible for generals.

The promotion of each rank of a military general is measured in years, so the gap between the two is naturally large.

As for the talent in martial arts, everyone who can become a military general is a martial arts genius.

It's not even possible to cross one realm, let alone two realms.

"Not Chu Ning?"

Liu Junshan was silent for a few breaths, then a smile appeared on his face: "If it's not Chu Ning, that's even better. With such a mysterious strong man, Wushuangmen will focus more on this mysterious strong man."

"Ma'am, this is a happy event, we should celebrate it."

"By the way, what about the soup?"

Chen Jingyi: …

…

…

On the way to Raozhou, Chu Ning looked a little pale. Yesterday, he entered Yangcheng of Jinzhou to kill the people from Wushuang Sect, but he did not expect that the person in charge of Wushuang Sect here was actually a fourth-rank general.

This was the most dangerous battle he had ever faced since he came to the other world, far more dangerous than the one he encountered when he was guarding Huang Xuan and his daughter, the eighth-grade martial artist with dual swords.

The opponent's strength is not top-notch among the fourth-rank generals. He is not as strong as me, and his speed is slightly slower than mine. However, his spear skills are comparable to mine.

The most important thing is that this person's hidden power is somewhat special. Although my hidden power is obviously stronger than the other party's, I am unable to suppress him.

It feels like...

purity.

Chu Ning suddenly thought of this word. This person's dark energy is purer than his own. It's like the same sword, his sword will be longer and thicker, but the opponent's sword will be harder.

Was it because he relied on the Burning Blood Technique to accumulate it, or was it because the Wushuang Sect's technique was stronger in purifying the dark energy? If it wasn't for the last moment, when he used the chili powder again, the opponent would not have expected that a fourth-rank general like him would use such a method. He blinked his eyes and gave him a chance. Otherwise, he would not only fail to kill the opponent, but also have to escape for his life.

It turns out that chili powder is still effective.

A powerful military general is already a strong man in the martial arts circle. It is difficult for ordinary martial artists from poor families to cultivate to this level. They are all children of wealthy families or disciples of the four major sects.

These people still have to maintain their reputation, and the martial arts circle of the Liang Dynasty as a whole is still very stable.

There are many gentlemen in prosperous times, and villains in troubled times.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

A gentleman does not mean he is morally flawless, but he just needs to maintain his dignity.

"Although the chili powder still has an effect, it's not particularly strong. At the martial artist level, chili powder can catch the opponent off guard and give you a chance. A martial arts master's strongman reacts very quickly. If I'm not faster than that person, I won't be able to kill him even if he's hit by my chili powder."

Chili powder will only be effective if you are one level stronger than your opponent.

But this does not conform to Chu Ning's fighting principles. He does not like fighting in the same realm. His fighting principle is to kill across realms.

Surpass the enemy by several realms, and then kill the enemy.

Chu Ning always makes a battle summary, which allows him to have a more comprehensive understanding of his own shortcomings.

Lacking knowledge of martial arts above the level of a military commander, and understanding of the powerful martial arts of the major forces, this is what he lacks most at the moment.

It seems that I have to go to the capital as soon as possible and visit the royal library.

The royal library not only has martial arts techniques, but also some theoretical books on martial arts practice. This is what Qi Xue told him.

With 10,000 military merits, one can enter the royal library and choose a martial arts technique or skill. In addition, one can also read the royal books introducing martial arts.

After summarizing the battle, Chu Ning began to count the gains from the battle.

During these ten days, he traveled to six states without stopping for a moment. He killed disciples of the Wushuang Sect and gained a lot.

The silver notes alone amounted to more than ten thousand taels, but this was not the most important thing. The most important gain was the martial arts elixir.

Practicing martial arts for a lifetime, taking drugs for a lifetime.

Even warriors are still taking drugs.

This is also the reason why warriors who pursue advancement are relatively poor.

What Chu Ning found on the bodies of several generals was a green pill. He smelled it and it had a fragrance. However, the pills on the martial arts disciples were lighter in color and had no smell.

Before figuring out the effects and origins of the two kinds of pills, Chu Ning did not take them rashly, but put the dozens of pills into two large bottles.

In the territory of Raozhou Prefecture, Chu Ning changed into the uniform of a military lieutenant, put a token on his waist, and swaggered towards the government office.

Although Raozhou is the territory of the Chen family, both the Eight Great Families and the Four Great Sects are secretly controlled. In the eyes of ordinary people, the world is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

As a colonel, Chu Ning's rank was one level higher than that of a county magistrate, so he went directly to the government office of Raozhou Prefecture.

"Captain Ji... Captain Ji, please wait a moment. I will go and inform our Lord."

When the yamen official saw the identity documents and token handed over by Chu Ning, his pupils shrank. It was strange that there was someone from Daning County who joined the army and was promoted to the rank of captain.

After a while, footsteps were heard from a corridor on one side, followed by a powerful voice.

"I just had some official business to attend to. I'm sorry to have kept Captain Ji waiting for so long."

Chu Ning was also stunned when he heard the voice. What a coincidence? Behind the screen in the side hall, Chen Jingwu strode out.

"He is indeed young. I didn't expect that my Raozhou Prefecture could produce such a young lieutenant."

Chen Jingwu did not recognize Chu Ning, but he heard his subordinates report that a young captain had come to the front yard.

This is also the reason why Chu Ning dares to act so arrogantly. Zhao Qin is an accident. This guy is born with a natural ability to remember people's faces.

"My Lord Miao Zan, it's just that you are lucky."

"Don't be modest. Promotion in the army depends on real military achievements, not luck. But Captain Ji looks familiar to me. Have you seen him before?"

"I have never seen you, my Lord."

Chu Ning shook his head. There were several other people in the hall besides Chen Jingwu, and he couldn't reveal his identity.

Chen Jingwu didn't say anything else and stamped Chu Ning's official seal. This is also the procedure for military officers to return home, proving that they have indeed returned home.

Watching Chu Ning leave, Chen Jingwu's men handed him the information they had just collected about Captain Ji.

"Ji Yang, from Jijia Town, Daning County, joined the army two years and eight months ago..."

More than two years? Chen Jingwu's eyes widened. This promotion was too fast. When he saw the next sentence, his eyes widened even more.

"I once practiced martial arts at the Daning County School. Wasn't Liu Junshan a teacher at the school at that time?"

"Go ask that guy what's going on with this Ji Yang?"
