The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 325: Entering Dali with the Power

Mrs. Zhong and Gan Baobao had no objection to this. After all, Wanjie Valley was their own Wanjie Valley, and it would eventually be passed down. Wouldn't it be a good thing if it could become better? As for Brother Chun, the worst that could happen was that they would leave the valley to find him.

But the enemy didn't know where he was flirting with the beauty again, and forgot about himself in this deep mountain forest.

Not to mention that Mrs. Zhong and Gan Baobao were infatuated with each other, but Murong Fu stayed in Wanjie Valley for three to five days. He walked around every day to survey the terrain and design mechanisms, and ordered the people in Wanjie Valley around. It was quite difficult to make changes in the big direction, but it was very effective to fill in the small details.

The Horse King God Zhong Wanchou experienced it personally and found that the places that were easy to invade before were now quite difficult to break into even if he tried on his own. For those who were not familiar with it, it would probably take three days and three nights to find a clue.

The couple felt it was incredible after trying it out. They knew clearly where the modifications were made, but why was the result so shocking?

Murong Fu said, "It's easy for those who know, but difficult for those who don't. Qimen Dunjia is just that magical. However, Wanjie Valley is quite large, and a complete renovation will take a lot of effort. I will first draw the rough drawings and leave it to them to work on. I can't stay here for long. Once they are finished, I can come to inspect and make minor adjustments."

Over the past few days, Murong Fu had become quite close to the eccentric Zhong Ling. The girl, like her mother, had little resistance to handsome men and soon abandoned her father to cling to Murong Fu all day. Murong Fu was also very kind to this eccentric girl, teaching her the complete set of Beauty Boxing techniques and the Sky Net Light Kung Fu. This martial art, which was both physically sculpting and fun, had even attracted Mrs. Zhong and Gan Baobao.

Murong Fu was about to leave. His goal had always been the Duan Clan of Dali, but he had been playing so well with little girl Zhong Ling these past few days that she was reluctant to leave. She cried and begged to go with Brother Murong, much to Zhong Wanchou's dismay. However, Mrs. Zhong, Gan Baobao, said that when she was older and her martial arts skills improved, she would be able to travel the world on her own. She would not stop her from going anywhere she wanted, and even marrying Brother Murong was not a problem.

Upon hearing this, the little girl Zhong Ling wanted to make a three-life agreement with Murong Fu, but he hit her so hard that her brain exploded. At this time, Gan Baobao already knew that Murong Fu's aunt was her love rival Li Qingluo, and her cousin Wang Yuyan, who was engaged to him, was most likely Duan Zhengchun's daughter.

She knew in her heart that Zhong Ling was also Duan Zhengchun's daughter, and she and Wang Yuyan were half-sisters with the same father. If her own daughter snatched the fiancé of her rival's daughter, she would fully support it, but if two women had to share one husband, she would not even think about it.

She didn't mention anything about biological sisters, only saying that her daughter was spoiled and too unfit to be a concubine. The Horse King, Zhong Wanchou, also quite agreed with this. Although he knew his family couldn't compare to the Gusu Murong family, he was also reluctant to let his daughter become a concubine. However, judging by his daughter's attitude, he was afraid that there would be trouble in the future. Should he stop it, stop it, or stop it?

Forget it, the little girl is still young, only ten years old. As long as she is not allowed to see Nan Murong in the future, she will naturally forget about it over time.

The two men bid farewell to Mrs. Zhong and Gan Baobao and rode their horses to Dali City. The one who showed up in public was the Horse King Zhong Wanchou, but the operation was planned by Murong Fu. Facing the man of both civil and military talents, Zhong Wanchou still had some self-knowledge, and after listening to him talk about the plan, he became more confident.

The first thing they did was to visit Wuliang Sword Sect and Shennong Gang together. When Wuliang Sword Sect saw Murong Fu, they naturally had to have a fight. However, there were too many people there this time, and Murong Fu also wanted to establish his authority, so he fought alone against the leaders of the East and West sects of Wuliang Sword Sect. With his long sword, he swung back and forth and defeated the two men in thirty moves, causing many spectators to exclaim in amazement.

Murong Fu was quite generous. He pointed out the shortcomings in their swordsmanship and even personally helped them improve it, which made Zuo Zimu and Xin Shuangqing even more grateful.

As for defeat, isn't that normal?

Not long ago, he fought against forty or fifty martial arts masters alone and won the victory in just one stick of incense. Now he is just challenging two people, and it is already very good that he can last thirty moves.

After leaving Wuliang Sword Sect, Murong Fu and Zhong Wanchou went straight to Shennong Gang. However, the leader of Shennong Gang, Sikong Xuan, did not dare to be careless with them. However, for some unknown reason, he actually wanted to try his poison to see if it could poison the famous Nan Murong in the martial arts world. Naturally, he was taught a lesson.

At this time, they knew that for real masters of internal strength, ordinary poisons were completely ineffective, and even highly poisonous drugs would not be effective for a short time. So they gave up the idea of ​​opposing them and treated them warmly as guests of honor.

Murong Fu discussed medical and poison techniques with Sikong Xuan. The Shennong Gang's legacy was quite impressive, but its disciples were unworthy, barely mastering the basics and instead straying off the path to specialize in poison refining. Murong Fu then traded a small portion of the Poison Manual for a significant portion of the Shennong Gang's legacy beyond poison refining, a move that naturally delighted both parties.

Afterwards, they bought a batch of medicinal materials, borrowed the alchemy room of the Shennong Gang, and refined a batch of drugs to treat malaria, and then left.

In the following half month, the two men traveled all over Dali Kingdom, going wherever there was an epidemic. With Murong Fu's medical skills, ordinary epidemics could not stop him, but he remained calm and hid behind the scenes to let the Horse King God Zhong Wanchou come forward. He cured malaria many times, and for a time the name of the miracle doctor Ma Wangshen was famous throughout Dali Kingdom.

As they walked along, Zhong Wanchou followed Murong Fu's instructions and spread the pills that cured malaria everywhere, to treat illnesses and to keep them in reserve for people without illnesses. The pills needed to be swallowed with warm water, but not too hot or boiled. After all the details were instructed one by one, Zhong Wanchou gradually came to like the feeling of being worshipped by others.

But his image was really not good, and folk painters almost turned him into a door god to drive away evil spirits. Some people even spread rumors, saying that the Horse King God Zhong Wanchou looked ferocious and that if he stood next to a patient, he would scare away the plague god and the patient would recover without medicine.

When Zhong Wanchou's reputation grew, the two of them headed straight for Dali City under the banner of a miracle doctor. Wherever they passed, they were known as the Horse King Zhong Wanchou. The people of Dali showed great respect to him, but their eyes towards Zhong Wanchou were a little strange, as if they were looking at him as a monster rather than a miracle doctor.

Before Zhong Wanchou arrived in Dali City, he spread the word that he would visit the Prince of Zhennan in the city. When the Dali Emperor Duan Zhengming heard the news, he called his younger brother and told him to entertain the famous new doctor well. However, Duan Zhengchun's face looked a little strange.

"Could it be that there is some misunderstanding between this Horse King God and my royal brother?" Duan Zhengming knew his younger brother a little bit. He was fine in most aspects, but he had many minor flaws.

Duan Zhengchun pondered for a moment, then reluctantly confessed, "Your Majesty, I'm young and frivolous, and I've had affairs with women. Before the Horse God Zhong Wanchou's wife married, I had a romantic relationship with her. After they got married, the Horse God learned of this and has been bothering me frequently. Knowing I'm in the wrong, I usually avoid him. But this time, Zhong Wanchou's powerful presence has forced me to confront him."

Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming pondered for a moment, then glanced at his brother with a sullen expression, saying, "If you truly don't want to see me, I'm not above putting down my pride and personally welcoming you. Surely a monarch personally welcoming you, such a courteous gesture, will only bring honor to the Dali royal family, not discredit it."

Duan Zhengchun hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, absolutely not! That Horse King Zhong Wanchou is a foolish, reckless man. He loves his wife dearly, even more than his own life. For the sake of our baby, he even dared to challenge me, which shows his character. If Your Majesty steps forward and is contradicted by him, it will be disrespectful to the Dali royal family. It would be difficult to punish him, but it would also be difficult not to punish him. I'm in a dilemma."

Duan Zhengming couldn't help but become more curious after hearing this. "Judging from his every move, it seems he has planned everything carefully before taking any action. How could he be so impulsive and ignorant of the overall situation? Could it be..."

"He has someone behind him. If my guess is correct, it's probably Murong Fu, the Central Plains master who's been rumored to have single-handedly defeated forty or fifty martial arts masters." Duan Zhengchun's face was slightly bitter, but a hint of longing flashed in his eyes. "This person has some connection to me."

"This boy is only in his twenties, how could he be related to the emperor's younger brother? You..."

Duan Zhengchun touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "His aunt was originally from Dali Kingdom, and before she got married, she and I had a connection."

Emperor Baoding Duan Zhengming was speechless at this moment, pointing at Duan Zhengchun for a long time, unable to speak. "My Dali Kingdom is a devout Buddhist. I, your brother, have only had one empress in my life, and even that empress was childless, never taking concubines. But you, you, you... Oh, how can I possibly say anything about you? Forget it, forget it. Since the renowned Nan Murong of the Central Plains martial arts world has arrived, it's only right for me, the Emperor Baoding, to greet him. I can't let you down."

Seeing Duan Zhengchun about to speak, Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming waved his hand and said, "If it were just the Horse King, the Divine Zhong Wanchou might embarrass me, but with Nan Murong here, I will definitely not let him act rashly. However, when no one is around, my royal brother must face it honestly. After all, he is someone who has worked hard for our Dali Kingdom."

Although Duan Zhengchun was unwilling, he knew that this was the best outcome, so he accepted the instruction.
