Chapter 243: Opening the Sect
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, "Okay, we will try to delay here and give you time to escape."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "No need, just leave when you are ready, I have already prepared it here."

Xin Zhen then bowed to the Wudang people, and then said to dozens of his disciples, "Follow me!"

The group left in a hurry.

Before entering the city, Xin Zhen had prepared a retreat route outside the city. The group quickly arrived at the west gate. Zhou Zhiruo stepped forward to disperse the soldiers guarding the city gate, then opened the gate and left the city. After walking a few miles, they arrived at a village. There were five or six mule and horse carts in the village. Everyone got on the carts and headed northwest.

Jiang Huairang was surprised and asked, "Master, shouldn't we be heading south? Why are we heading northwest?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "The Tartars know that we are either going to the southwest or the southeast, so we should go to the northwest, hide there for a while, and then return to Hubei, which is safer."

Everyone applauded.

So the group headed northwest, and after walking for several days, they found no pursuers. Then Xin Zhen asked his disciples to split up and head south. They were just doctors, not those people in the martial arts world, and no one would remember them. They just had to avoid places where there was chaos and not be killed by strong men.

Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo quietly followed behind these disciples, secretly protecting them all the way south. Half a month later, they finally arrived safely at Laohekou.

Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo discussed whether or not to reopen the Jimin Medical Clinic and decided that it would be better to stay out of the spotlight for the time being. Prince Ruyang was not an ordinary person, and the fact that they had assassinated him could not be concealed, and Emperor Shun of Yuan would definitely have to give an explanation to the court, so the matter would still be pursued here.

If the Jimin Clinic continues to operate, the target will be too obvious. It won't matter to me at that time, but my disciples may suffer again. It's better to wait and see.

Now that Prince Ruyang is dead, those good-for-nothings in the Yuan court probably won't be able to withstand Zhu Yuanzhang and his ilk, and will probably be driven out of the Central Plains soon. It won't be too late to reopen the country until the Ming Dynasty is established.

So Xin Zhen, Jiang Huairang and others said, "You should all go back to your hometowns. You have learned enough of my skills and it is time for you to start your own careers.

They all returned to their hometowns to open clinics, recruited many disciples, and passed on these tips on healing so that everyone in the world would have doctors who could heal their illnesses. "

Jiang Huairang and others were very reluctant to leave, but they also knew the current situation and could only leave reluctantly. Before leaving, Xin Zhen collected the money earned from the clinic in the past few years and gave a portion to each of his disciples as funds for them to return and set up a clinic.

Xin Zhen was also reluctant to leave, after all, they had been together for so many years.

Zhou Zhiruo was the most reluctant to leave. Seeing the former prosperity gone and the Jimin Medical Clinic now empty, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xin Zhen comforted him, "When the world is at peace in a few years, we will reopen the clinic."

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Xin Zhen with tears in her eyes. She had invested a lot of effort in this Jimin Medical Clinic. She had also thought about passing this clinic down from generation to generation, and in the future passing it on to her and Xin Zhen's son, grandson, and great-grandson... But now it's gone!
That damn Zhao Min, if it weren't for her, they wouldn't have to go north to Dadu to save people, and now the Jimin Medical Clinic would not be closed. Killing her father and brothers is not enough, they should really kill her too!
Looking at Zhou Zhiruo's appearance, Xin Zhen also had a headache. Once this woman became emotional, it would be really hard to please her. He thought for a while and said, "Since we can't open a clinic now, why don't we open a sect? Didn't we say we wanted to set up a Huashan Sect? Let's do it."

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes lit up. To be honest, she was much more interested in running a sect than a clinic. She did have medical skills, but compared to martial arts, these medical skills were nothing.

She is now a rare top swordsman in the world. Even Fan Yao cannot defeat her within a few hundred moves. It can be said that there are only a handful of people in the world who can defeat her.

Also, founding a sect will not prevent you from opening a clinic in the future. Wouldn't it be better if the clinic had military support? At least there would be no medical disputes.

Zhou Zhiruo said excitedly: "Okay, then let's go to Huashan, drive away the two elders of Huashan, occupy Huashan, and establish our own sect!"

Xin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "No, no, there's no need to do this. I don't want to leave Hanshui for the time being. It's really comfortable to live here. We can teach here. It will be convenient to reopen the clinic in the future."

Zhou Zhiruo was even happier. She had lived here since she was a child, and it would be better if she could stay here. She nodded repeatedly and said, "That's even better."

She then looked at the rather large clinic in front of her reluctantly, and said worriedly, "We definitely can't live here anymore. The dog soldiers will definitely come to search, and then this place will be abandoned. And we have to worry about whether those dog soldiers will burn it down."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry so much. Let's find a place to settle down nearby. It should take only a few years for the world to be settled. We can come back then."

If the Yuan court burns down this clinic, there is nothing to regret. I still think the layout is not very good. We can design a better clinic later. Well, we will call it a hospital because it will be larger in scale. "

Zhou Zhiruo nodded and said, "I just think it's a pity. We have spent thousands of taels of silver here. It would be a pity if it was burned by a fire."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's okay. When Brother Chang and his men conquer the world, we can go to Brother Chang and ask him to donate a hospital to us. He will definitely be willing to do so."

Zhou Zhiruo also laughed.

Zhou Zhiruo was in a good mood and the two of them had nothing to pack, so they went to the other side of the river that day and bought a rather large courtyard house with four or five entrances.

Xin Zhen was somewhat surprised as to why Zhou Zhiruo wanted to buy such a large courtyard, but Zhou Zhiruo had her own plans: "Since I want to teach you, I must provide you with food and lodging, otherwise how can I feel a sense of belonging?
Moreover, there are not just one or two disciples. Even if it is a small and beautiful sect, there must be at least dozens of people. How can there be enough accommodation for these dozens of people without a few courtyards?

Besides, you need a place to practice martial arts. There are several halls in these courtyards, and there is also a large courtyard for practice, so you don’t have to worry about outsiders peeping in. "

Xin Zhen originally just wanted to use it to divert Zhou Zhiruo's attention, but he didn't expect Zhou Zhiruo to be so enthusiastic. He could only smile and nod.

But if you think about Zhou Zhiruo's personality, it is indeed like this. She is suitable to be a wife, but she is very career-oriented. Zhao Min says that she wants to do manly things, but is willing to give up everything for Zhang Wuji. Zhou Zhiruo never gave up Emei from beginning to end.
