Chapter 228: A Party for Martial Artists

~6 min read 1,136 words

But the things my son needs to handle are truly too numerous; he is truly stretched too thin.

Especially since these matters are not things that should be known to outsiders...

Zhu Gaoxu's letter was written in a sprawling manner, spanning more than a dozen pages.

Yet Zhu Di did not feel the slightest bit of impatience; on the contrary, he was unwilling to miss a single character.

The more he read, the more spirited he became.

For a moment, fine beads of sweat even unconsciously broke out on his forehead.

At the same time, his throat felt a bit parched.

If all of this is truly as his son says.

Then he is willing to give it a try.

This kind of pressure is a happy pressure; it is a pressure with a goal in sight.

As long as one survives this wave, the road ahead is a path to happiness.

Not everyone is qualified to bear this kind of pressure.

His hands unconsciously clenched, then relaxed, then clenched and relaxed again.

Various signs indicated that Zhu Di was truly very agitated at this moment.

This son of his is too capable.

To have a son like this, what more could one ask for?

Forget the saying "if one is to have a son, he should be like Sun Zhongmou"; he would say if one is to have a son, he should be like Zhu Gaoxu!

Quietly and without fanfare, he has handled everything...

After a long while, Zhu Di's emotions finally calmed down.

At this moment, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

Then he hurriedly lit the candle on his desk and burned all dozen or so pages of the letter.

This thing must not be allowed to circulate.

If this thing were to circulate, even if Zhu Gaoxu were still favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, he would at least lose a layer of skin if not die.

As for him, there is no need to mention it; death might not be certain, but being demoted to a commoner would be enough.

Zhu Di knew all too well what this meant.

Therefore, this letter definitely could not be kept...

Jingcheng is vast, and undercurrents have always existed.

Jingcheng is like a monster that eats people without spitting out the bones, yet the monster's mouth is hung with gold, silver, and jewels.

It makes people know there is danger, yet they are unable to stop their own footsteps.

Returning to Zhu Gaoxu's side.

At this moment, he did not walk into Cangjian Villa through the main gate.

One could figure out with their toes that he is merely a child of four or five years old.

Not to mention that Cangjian Villa is currently facing a great enemy, not only has questioning become much stricter, but idlers are even less permitted to enter.

Except for the martial artists who have come to help, none of the disciples inside the villa are allowed to receive guests anymore.

Even in normal times, it would be impossible for Cangjian Villa to receive such a child alone.

Do they really take my Cangjian Villa for a kindergarten?

And the method Zhu Gaoxu chose to deal with this was naturally the old way.

Climbing over the wall directly.

The walls of Cangjian Villa are much higher.

It looks like at least three or four meters high.

But the current Zhu Gaoxu is no longer the previous Zhu Gaoxu.

No matter how busy things were outside these past few days, he did not forget to learn a new skill.

That is Lightness Skill!

The Seventy-two Unique Skills that the strange man gave to Zhu Gaoxu include Lightness Skill.

But although the Shaolin Lightness Skill is good, it is too difficult to get started.

It is not something that can be done in a day or two.

So Zhu Gaoxu asked Bai Xinghuo to teach him a set of Lightness Skill.

It must be said that having a martial artist by his side now is clearly much better than before.

He plans to ask Bai Xinghuo for advice on Internal Energy issues once Bai Xinghuo has dealt with the Black Tiger Gang and he returns to Huangshan Town.

Thinking this, Jin Buyi had already arrived at the bottom of the high wall of Cangjian Villa.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate, lifted his body, stepped with his left foot on his right foot, and vaulted over the top of the wall.

When he landed again, he was already inside the courtyard.

Looking around, seeing that no one had discovered him, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly flashed and hid inside a rockery not far away.

Seeing that no one had discovered him, Zhu Gaoxu could not help but feel some doubt in his heart.

Logically speaking, Cangjian Villa is facing a great enemy; how could they be so careless that no one discovered him when he jumped in so easily?

In fact, he did not know that Cangjian Villa had been "tight outside but loose inside" for these past few days.

There is no telling how many spies are hidden in the dark outside the villa, but Zhu Gaoxu looks like a four or five-year-old child on the surface.

No one took Zhu Gaoxu seriously, so he easily made his way into the villa all the way.

Of course, there is one more point: what Zhu Gaoxu jumped into is the inner courtyard of Cangjian Villa.

The people living inside here are all sorts of martial artists who have come to help.

No one likes to watch someone constantly loitering in front of them.

Besides, with so many martial artists here, isn't that much better than patrolling?

If there really were any evildoers, these martial artists would surely be the first to notice.

Thus, Cangjian Villa simply saved on manpower and arranged for these people to stay outside.

Zhu Gaoxu, of course, did not know about this.

His source of information was merely the Beggar Sect.

Such detailed information is certainly not as good as that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, although Zhu Gaoxu was suspicious in his heart, since he had already entered, thinking too much was useless.

After observing for a while from within the rockery, Zhu Gaoxu found an opportunity and slipped back out.

Very quickly, he arrived at the residential area.

He saw a crowd of martial artists walking about in this place.

Some were practicing their martial arts, while others were gathered in twos and threes, chatting about something.

Someone was sitting in a pavilion, drinking small cups of wine with a few friends.

In any case, there were people doing all sorts of things; it was exactly like a party for martial artists.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaoxu, on the contrary, was no longer in a hurry.
