"Hmm—I understand—"
Su Hao nodded slightly.
However, a sense of vigilance silently arose in his heart at this moment.
Although Yang Lu said those words in a joking tone.
But he still understood the other person's unspoken meaning.
That means you can't bring anything other than clothes to Shuangyanzhuang.
There must be a reason behind doing this.
However, Su Hao did not ask any further questions about these matters.
He's just a manual laborer; asking too many questions isn't a wise move.
It could very well get you into trouble, so don't meddle in things you shouldn't, and don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
"Alright then, I won't bother Master Su any longer. I'll leave the things here and hope Master Su will accept them."
After Yang Lu finished speaking, he gestured for his subordinates to put down the things, then clasped his hands in a fist salute, said a few words, and quickly left the shop.
Su Hao watched the other person's departing figure, then glanced at the few wooden boxes of medicine left on the table.
He shook his head as well.
I randomly picked up a few bottles, opened the caps, and found that they contained common tonic powders for nourishing blood and qi, some medicines for treating injuries, and some instructions for use.
After inspecting the contents, Su Hao closed the wooden crates and piled them on the shelf.
Although the medicines were plentiful, with his current strength, he no longer needed these common qi and blood tonics. These tonics were actually most effective on the stone skin layer, and also had some effect on the iron skin layer.
It's likely that Yang Lu sent these gifts because he had investigated Yang Lu's abilities and probably knew that Yang Lu was a disciple of the Yueshan Boxing School.
Therefore, these blood and qi tonics were given out, and their effects were basically the same as the blood-strengthening soup that Master Liu had given him. However, although these blood and qi tonics were useless to him, at least Yang Lu showed respect.
Su Hao stayed at the blacksmith shop for about half a day after Yang Lu and the others left.
He didn't close the shop door until it got dark, and headed towards Nanzan-cho.
Tonight is a good show of the Zhou and Ren families joining forces to deal with the Chu family, and at Zhou Zhengtang's invitation, he naturally will not be absent.
They arrived at the Zhou residence.
Su Hao noticed that the Zhou residence did not seem to have changed much due to tonight's events.
However, the prying eyes that could be seen from the shadows around us proved that today was different from the past.
Su Hao ignored the stares and, after speaking to the guards at the gate, entered the Zhou residence without any trouble.
Now, he is already a familiar face in the Zhou family.
In addition to his connection with Zhou Zhengtang, he could enter and leave the Zhou residence simply by giving a word.
Su Hao arrived at the courtyard where Zhou Zhengtang was located.
Snowflakes were falling heavily in the sky. Zhou Zhengtang was practicing his moves in the courtyard, holding a silver-white longsword. The sharp sound of the sword cutting through the air echoed, causing the falling snowflakes to flutter and scatter.
Seeing that the other party was practicing seriously and that it was quite entertaining, Su Hao smiled, lowered his steps, and went to the pavilion to sit down and watch.
He had always known that Zhou Zhengtang knew swordsmanship, after all, he had been in contact with him for so long, and he had heard that this swordsmanship was a martial art.
As for the quality of the martial arts, Su Hao had no idea.
Moreover, the other party had previously offered to teach him this sword technique, but he had politely declined.
The reason is simple: Su Hao doesn't like sword dancing; he prefers using a knife.
However, after searching for sword techniques and martial arts manuals for a period of time, he found virtually no information about them, except for some fake ones.
brush!
The silver sword light, like a ribbon, stretched and shimmered continuously around Zhou Zhengtang.
Strands of sword light sliced through the air, shattering the falling ice crystals into countless ice shards that scattered across the ground.
Ding!
As the last streak of sword light sliced through the air with a sharp whistle, the longsword finally pierced the ground, its dissipating force swirling around the earth, forming a snow vortex one meter in diameter.
*Smack! Smack!*
Su Hao clapped his hands slowly, looked at Zhou Zhengtang who was walking slowly towards him, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou's swordsmanship is truly becoming more and more exquisite."
"Hehe—envious, aren't you? I told you to learn before, but you wouldn't listen. Now it's not too late to regret it!"
Zhou Zhengtang smiled smugly, walked into the pavilion, took the wine pot from the stove, and poured himself some wine.
The fragrant wine, steaming hot, filled the glass, instantly filling the air with a delicate fruity aroma.
"This wine today is called plum wine. It's sweet and sour, and it's a new way of drinking it that I recently invented. You should try it!"
Zhou Zhengtang gestured for Su Hao to taste it.
"Fruit wine? Not bad—" Su Hao picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
The warm beverage had a subtle sweet and sour taste, along with the aroma of alcohol, and the flavor was somewhat reminiscent of a certain brand of drink I had in a past life.
Because a lot of sugar was added, the wine tastes sweeter, which dilutes the wine flavor considerably.
"Not bad, right?"
Zhou Zhengtang said smugly.
Seeing Su Hao nod, he continued, "This way of drinking it wasn't actually invented by me. I just happened to see it in a book, so I had my servants try it out, and guess what? They actually managed to make it!"
"Brother Zhou is reading books now, which is truly commendable—"
Su Hao joked, then returned to the main topic, "When I came in just now, I noticed that there were quite a few extra people around. They must be other members of the Ren family, right?"
"Hmm—Although the Chu family has lost its patriarch Chu Xiongfeng, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. We must still treat them with caution. Therefore, we plan to crush them in the most direct and simple way."
Zhou Zhengtang nodded.
At first, they were worried that going directly would alert the Chu family.
However, after careful discussion, it was discovered that there was no need to test the waters or waste time.
By killing them all, including the core members and direct descendants of the Chu family, we can completely control all of the Chu family's resources and industries.
That's why he invited all the martial arts forces from his father-in-law's family to his residence. Tonight, he was determined to completely wipe out the Chu family with overwhelming force!
Su Hao nodded in agreement.
Without the head of the family, the Chu family has no chance of winning against either the Zhou or Ren families, let alone against them combined.
Therefore, tonight's result should be a foregone conclusion.
"Young Master, the Master requests your presence—"
Just as Zhou Zhengtang and Su Hao were discussing their plans for the evening, an elderly man with gray hair walked in, his back hunched, and said respectfully.
"Okay! Got it."
Zhou Zhengtang nodded slightly, but his brows furrowed slightly.
Because the operation will begin soon.
At this critical juncture, his father called him over. Could it be that there has been some change in the plan?
After saying goodbye to Su Hao, Zhou Zhengtang left.
Su Hao remained seated in the courtyard, watching Zhou Zhengtang's departing figure with a thoughtful expression.
