Zhao Xuanqi assumed the tiger-shaped fist starting position, suddenly launched his body, and executed the tiger-shaped nine postures.
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa!
There were seven consecutive blasts, extremely crisp and clear, but Zhao Xuanqi had begun to breathe a little. When the eighth move was performed, there was still a blast, but the blast was much weaker than before, and then he felt that he was completely exhausted.
"It can barely reach the eighth ring. The bones of this body are indeed too poor and the physical growth is too slow."
In this week, the seven secret medicines he had obtained previously had been consumed by Zhao Xuanqi, leaving him with barely enough physical strength to reach eight bells.
The further you go back to perform the Nine Tiger Forms, the more difficult it becomes, and the stronger the physical fitness required.
Zhao Xuanqi estimated that he would need at least fifteen more secret medicines before he could barely reach the Nine Rings. And when he reaches the peak of Nine Rings and has accumulated enough energy and blood to officially start marching towards Henglian, he may not be able to do it without dozens of secret medicines.
No chance.
The reason is that Zhao Qi's physical bones are too weak, and the resources and efforts required are at least several times that of someone with good bones like Zhou Ze.
If it were the original Zhao Qi, it would be impossible for him to practice to the ninth ring in less than ten years if he had a full meal and the secret medicine rationed by the martial arts hall on time. As for horizontal training, without Zhao Xuanqi's martial arts experience, he would probably
It cannot be achieved in a lifetime.
"The secret medicine has been used up, and there are not many silver coins left. If I don't come back to live, I will have to find a way on my own."
Zhao Xuanqi said to himself.
After the competition a week ago, during the allocation of places for new outer disciples, Liu Changfeng arranged for him to become a member of Xiaolin Escort Bureau's "Fengyingtang".
Xiaolin Martial Arts School is closely related to many industries in Tianhai Mansion.
Escort agency, freight, restaurant, dance hall...
In addition to the Escort Bureau, other industries are managed by the third true successor of the martial arts school. The Escort Bureau is headed by the second true successor Liu Changfeng. It is a military organization under the Xiaolin Martial Arts School. Its main business is not escorting and transporting escorts, but "bodyguards".
.
In these troubled times, in addition to the eight major warlords and martial arts schools in various places, civilian martial artists also emerged in endlessly.
People who practice martial arts are strong in energy and upright in their actions, so they will naturally cause trouble. Although the police and garrisons in various places can control the overall situation, it is difficult to take into account the details.
Therefore, the business of the Escort Agency came from this. In Tianhai Mansion, such as dance halls, restaurants, casinos, brothels and other places where public gatherings are prone to trouble, the Escort Agency will be asked to send people to stay for a long time, using the reputation and force of the martial arts school to intimidate Xiao Xiao.
Fengyingtang is one of the halls of the Escort Bureau, but its nature is rather special. It is directly called by the martial arts hall. It is composed of disciples with strong actual combat capabilities. It accepts the instructions of Weng Xiaolin and Liu Changfeng and handles some things that ordinary disciples cannot handle.
Compared with other positions, Fengyingtang disciples have a higher quota of secret medicine every month. They can also receive additional rewards for completing corresponding dispatches. They do not need to spend a fixed time every day in the industry. They can make their own arrangements. The degree of freedom is extremely high, but the corresponding
The risk is also extremely high, but in general it is a lucrative position. It is impossible for a new disciple to get this position. This shows that Liu Changfeng treats him very well.
However, during this whole week, Zhao Xuanqi did not receive any instructions. He just exercised in the martial arts gym every day, and then ate and drank. This made other outsiders look at him a little weird, as if they suspected that he and Senior Brother Liu were secretly together.
It's not some unknown transaction.
He put away his posture and went back to the house to eat some breakfast cooked by Zhao Qin. He put on his martial arts uniform and went to the martial arts studio.
Although Feng Ying Tang disciples have more free time, they still have to report to the martial arts hall every day and wait for orders.
"Senior Brother Liu, I have something to ask you."
As soon as he arrived at the martial arts gym, the tall Li Zhongquan approached Zhao Xuanqi.
It seems that there is no need to go out to find a job on your own.
Zhao Xuanqi secretly thought, after bidding farewell to Li Zhongquan, he found Liu Changfeng.
"What are your orders, senior brother?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked.
"We, Xiaolin Martial Arts School, have many properties in Shanghe District. Although we cannot say that they are all legitimate businesses, there is a rule in the area under our jurisdiction, that is, we are not allowed to sell cigarettes. This is the bottom line of the martial arts school."
"Some time ago, someone secretly sold cigarettes in the restaurant and dance hall of the martial arts gym. This violated the rules of our martial arts gym. We used our connections to investigate and finally found the leader of an organization called the Cangshan Gang."
"According to the usual rules, we will make this organization disappear from Tianhai Mansion, and then take over their property. The escort agency will carry out an eradication mission tonight. However, we have never heard of this Cangshan Gang before. From the intelligence point of view, it is likely to be caused by someone.
It is composed of a group of desperadoes who came from exile, and it seems that there is still a secret secret. I am worried that something has changed, so I sent you to assist to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"For specific circumstances, if you take this letter and go to No. 66 Fulin Road, someone will naturally contact you."
"Many people have complained about pushing you to this position. This is your first mission. Show some skills, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it."
Liu Changfeng looked calm and said to Zhao Xuanqi straightforwardly.
"I see."
Zhao Xuanqi nodded calmly, turned around and left with the letter.
...
...
Manlin Ballroom, No. 66, Fulin Road, in the north of Shanghe District, Tianhaifu.
Zhao Xuanqi, who had changed into dark casual clothes, stood in front of the dance hall. This Manlin Dance Hall is one of the properties directly under the martial arts gym.
The door of the dance hall is closed and it is not open during the day.
With a calm look on his face, he directly opened the ballroom door and entered.
Inside the ballroom, the card tables, tables and chairs were not set out, making it look a bit dark and dull. There was only one table in the center, with five men and one woman sitting around it.
Seeing the door of the ballroom open, the six people immediately looked towards Zhao Xuanqi, but no one made a sound, and no one stood up to welcome him. The scene was silent, and the eyes of several people looking at him were full of scrutiny.
Of course Zhao Xuanqi knew the reason.
He, a newcomer who had just entered the outer sect for less than a month, was unexpectedly assigned to the Fengying Hall. As Liu Changfeng said, this incident would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction and doubts of many old people. Many people doubted whether there was any inside story or tricks.
, it’s just that it’s difficult to comment on Liu Changfeng’s identity and strength.
And now, he has parachuted into this mission and intervened.
According to his understanding, in general, for such tasks, in addition to the rewards from martial arts schools and escort agencies, the biggest reward comes from the property reserved by these organizations. Except for part of it, most of it is distributed by those who participate in the task.
One more person participating in the task will naturally result in less profit.
As a result, this dissatisfaction has been amplified, and these people now probably think that Liu Changfeng deliberately arranged for him to come here to pick fruits in order to gain seniority.
Naturally, it is impossible to give him a good look.
Zhao Xuanqi didn't care, and walked towards a few people with a calm face. When he took five steps closer, these people finally reacted.
"Junior brother of Fengyingtang? This is the first time we meet. I have to rely on your efforts for tonight's mission."
A strong, horse-faced man stood up suddenly, with a smile on his face, and slapped Zhao Xuanqi on the shoulder, as if he was saying hello to an old friend.
But in the middle of the movement, the palms change into claws, and the sound of wind hunts, grabbing the pipa bones.
However, as soon as his eyes flashed, a gust of breeze blew by, and he was shocked to find that Zhao Xuanqi, who was very close at hand, had already stepped past him.
Just as he was about to turn around, the horse-faced man suddenly felt that the waistband of his trousers had loosened, and his trousers fell straight down. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly grabbed the falling crotch, only to realize that his waistband had been cut into two pieces at some point.
.
And in Zhao Xuanqi's hand, there was a bright dagger in his hand.
"Um?!"
Seeing Zhao Xuanqi actually showing off his weapon, the others also changed their expressions and stood up suddenly.
drink!!
The man and woman closest to him shouted loudly, turned their hands into claws, and made a loud roar from their bodies. At the same time, they used the Furious Tiger Crossing Forest, grabbing Zhao Xuanqi from the left and the right to completely restrain him.
However, they quickly stopped and froze in place, not daring to move at all, with cold sweat secreting from the pores on their backs.
Zhao Xuanqi had another dagger in his hand, as if he was predicting the future. The two daggers were stuck in the path of their moves. If they took another step forward, the sharp dagger points would pierce their abdominal cavities.
The moment the two of them were still, Zhao Xuanqi turned his palms, and the two daggers rotated in his palms, and then he directly put them back into the scabbards on his waist.
The whole movement was smooth and fluid, without any stagnation.
With a raise of his hand, he restrained three people.
After getting Liu Changfeng's approval, he no longer needs to hide many things.
He pulled out an empty chair and sat on it, placing his hands flat on the table with a calm expression. Although he was not tall, his momentum at this moment was like the master of everyone.
"Everyone, sit down, the joke ends here."
The scene was a little quiet for a while, and the six people were still stunned on the spot, as if they hadn't come back to their senses yet.
The scene just now really shocked them.
You must know that the few people present are not newbies. Those who can be sent by the escort agency to perform such tasks must be veterans with at least seven rings and rich practical experience.
Although it was just with bare hands, the incident happened suddenly, and Zhao Xuanqi had a sharp blade in his hand, but he was able to restrain three people in an instant, which still explains a lot.
Carefully recalling the scene just now, the methods of this newcomer to the Kazekage Hall were ruthless, concise, and efficient, and could not be increased or decreased in the slightest. The more I thought about it, the more creepy it became.
If it were a real life-and-death struggle, even if they were also holding weapons, how likely would they be to survive facing such an opponent?
Several people felt a little chill in their hearts, how dare they treat Zhao Xuanqi as a newcomer.
Martial arts is the simplest thing. Whether it works or not, you will know once you try it.
"As expected of the masters of Fengyingtang, we are rude."
The leader said, a man with a Chinese character face who was about 1.8 meters tall and strong.
Several other people looked at each other and returned to the table to sit down. The horse-faced man whose waistband was cut off by Zhao Xuanqi with a knife passed by him and went out of his way to apologize.
Warriors, it's also very simple, as long as you are strong, you will be respected.
"Are you Cai Mingliang? You are the person in charge of this operation. Please tell me the specific situation."
Zhao Xuanqi said calmly to the man with the Chinese character face.
