Chapter 39 Tan Family
When the tall and strong old man saw that his companion had been defeated, he knew that he could never defeat the two of them together, so he wanted to escape without saying a word.

But just as he sprinkled a handful of lime powder to confuse Tan Wuxia's vision and prepared to use light skills to escape, Qu Yang suddenly made a move, and a bunch of black needles scattered like rain, piercing the tall and strong old man's chest.

"Black Blood Divine Needle Qu Yang!" The tall and strong old man looked at Qu Yang who suddenly attacked with a look of surprise, and then fell to the ground and died.

Ou Zanghua picked up the scabbard, put the long sword back into the scabbard, bowed to Tan Wuxia, and said gently: "Thank you for your help, young lady."

Tan Wuxia shook his head, turned to look at Qu Yang and said, "With this old man here, you won't be in danger even if I'm not here. I'm meddling in other people's business."

At this time, the six people who were rescued came up to express their gratitude, "Thank you, Master, and thank you, Master Tan, for your help. If it weren't for you two, I'm afraid we would be in great danger."

"No need. You came to Hejian Prefecture. As long as you don't commit crimes, you shouldn't be hunted down." Tan Wuxia waved his hand and said calmly: "Besides, I didn't do anything. It's this young master who is kind-hearted. You should thank him."

"Thank you, sir!"

A young swordsman asked gratefully, "I just saw you use the Hengshan swordsmanship, but I don't know which Hengshan you are from?"

Ou Zanghua smiled and said casually: "My name is Ou Zanghua. Saving you was just a matter of convenience. There is no need to thank you. I just hope that you can stick to your original intentions and uphold justice in the future."

"We will keep Mr. Ou's teachings in mind!" The six people bowed, looking very moved.

This is the style of a noble and upright family!
I saved them without expecting anything in return, or even caring about reputation. I just hoped that they could uphold justice while walking around in the world.

No wonder he is a top disciple of Hengshan School, while they can only worship smaller sects such as Diancang, Wangwu and Jiulong.

Ou Zanghua walked back to the convoy, looked at Qu Feiyan who had recovered, and asked casually, "Did you vent your anger?"

“I’ve gotten some relief!”

Qu Feiyan nodded and gave Ou Zanghua a big smile, "From now on, as long as you are here, Feiyan will not be afraid."

"Hehe" Ou Zanghua smiled slightly and touched Qu Feiyan's head.

Qu Yang stood aside, watching the scene with a look of satisfaction on his face.

He was extremely grateful to Brother Liu Xian for giving him this opportunity. Not only did he save the lives of their grandfather and grandson, but today the young master also helped his granddaughter get rid of the nightmare.

He didn't know how to express his gratitude for a moment, so he could only bow to Ou Zanghua silently.

At this time, Tan Wuxia said goodbye to the six young men and walked over. Seeing that Ou Zanghua and his group had prepared so many supplies, he asked with some confusion: "Master Ou, are you guys moving?"

Ou Zanghua calmly explained: "No, it's just that I'm going to Beijing, and I'm afraid that I won't have enough, so I prepared some more."

"Going to Beijing? Then your next stop should be Cangzhou, right?"

Tan Wuxia smiled and said, "I know a shortcut that can save half a day. If you can trust me, why don't we go together?"

"That's great!" Ou Zanghua happily agreed when he heard it.

Soon, Tan Wuxia's team also arrived.

It was only then that Ou Zanghua realized that the four major families in Cangzhou were doing the same job as the Lin family, all of which were working for the escort agency.

The difference is that people in Cangzhou understand win-win cooperation, where every family contributes a portion and the money earned is distributed according to work.

This time, Tan Wuxia led the escort team to Shandong because the Tan family was originally a wealthy family in Shandong. Although they had been separated for a hundred years, they still had certain connections in the local area.

The next time they are sent out to escort the enemy to Nanzhili, the Liu family should lead the team, because the Liu family came from Pengcheng.

When the escort is out, the people who stay in Cangzhou are not idle. They will cooperate with the Hejian government to maintain local peace and tranquility.

On the one hand, they can make money through the bounty order, and on the other hand, they can also establish a good relationship with the government, so the government will turn a blind eye to many things. Therefore, Tan, Liu, Jia and Zhao can also be called "Cangzhou tyrants".

Under the leadership of Tan Wuxia, Ou Zanghua and his men did not have to devote their energy to vigilance and could walk easily.

The journey that originally took more than a day to complete was completed in the evening after taking a shortcut.

Tan Wuxia rode over and suggested to Ou Zanghua in the carriage: "Mr. Ou, it's getting late. Why don't you rest for a night in our Tan family compound and set off tomorrow!"

"Will it disturb your rest?" Ou Zanghua came out of the carriage and asked calmly.

"No, there are enough rooms in the Tan family compound. Even if your team is twice as large, it can still accommodate them." Tan Wuxia smiled, very cheerfully.

Seeing this, Ou Zanghua no longer hesitated and asked Qu Yang to follow the other party and stay overnight.

Tan Wuxia asked a cousin to go back to the compound to prepare first, while he stayed with Ou Zanghua and told him about the situation in the northern martial arts world.

Among the Five Great Sword Sects, Songshan, Taishan, Hengshan and Huashan are all in the north, but Shaolin Temple is still the leader in the north.

In addition to these five sects, there are also the Kongtong Sect and the Kunlun Sect.

However, the Kunlun Sect is too far away and its influence is limited.

The rest, such as the Yizi Huijian Sect, the Wufeng Dao Sect, the Haisha Sect, the Bohai Sect, the Haisha Gang, the Yellow River Gang, etc., are just so-so and there is no need to mention them.

"So apart from these seven sects, there are the four families in Cangzhou." Tan Wuxia raised his head slightly, with a bit of pride in his expression.

Ou Zanghua said with some emotion: "Even with such fierce competition, the prestige of the four families in Cangzhou remains undiminished. This is truly admirable."

In the Huguang and Jiangxi regions of this era, only Wudang could surpass Hengshan.

The focus of Wudang is still in Jingchu, and it can be said that Hengshan is the only dominant one in Xiangchu.

Not long after, the group arrived at the Tan family compound.

After Ou Zanghua got off the car, Tan Wuxia took them to the arranged residence. He found that the Tan family compound had a great sense of design. It was a large quadrangle composed of two sanheyuans, with the front and back yards separated by a horizontal wall, just like the "Boundary between Chu and Han" on a chessboard.

After arriving at the residence, Tan Wuxia said, "Everyone, put your luggage away first. I'll have someone bring dinner over later."

"Thank you, Miss Tan."

"Haha. Mr. Ou, how many times have you said thank you to me today?" Tan Wuxia waved his hand nonchalantly, then turned and left.

She had just returned from a escort mission and was reporting the situation to her elders at home.

Qu Yang came over and said with some emotion: "This Miss Tan has a cold face, but a straightforward personality. It's really surprising."

Ou Zanghua nodded, turned to look at Qu Yang, and asked sincerely: "Uncle Qu, I have been learning Huang Zhonggong's Seven-String Invisible Sword recently, but I still can't do it. Can you give me some advice, Uncle Qu?"

"You are too polite, sir. I am not worthy of it. In my opinion, the Seven-String Invisible Sword is a kind of sonic power. I have studied sonic power for a while, so I have collected some information and can share it with you."

When Qu Yang heard this, he immediately revealed everything he knew, without hiding anything: "There are only three true masters of sonic power in the martial arts world. One is Huang Zhonggong, and one is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Fangzheng. His Vajra Zen Lion's Roar has been famous in the martial arts world for ten years. The other one is none other than your uncle, Mr. Mo Da, Xiaoxiang Yeyu."

"Oh?!" Ou Zanghua was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true.

It's just that he was blind to the truth before and only paid attention to Mo Da's swordsmanship, but ignored his ability of "hiding a sword in the piano and making the sword produce piano sounds".

Wait!
There is a sword hidden in the zither, and the sword makes the sound of the zither.
Ou Zanghua raised his hand to stop Qu Yang from continuing. He turned and walked into the room and took out the guzheng.

A moment later, the sound of "House of Flying Daggers" came from the yard.
