In Canglan Mansion, on the day when the new bounty list was announced, many martial arts masters gathered at the entrances of major bookstores early. Most of these people were in the third martial arts scene, and some masters were mixed among them.
The road in the world is not that easy, and it is not as carefree and passionate as the storytellers say. In the final analysis, it is just another group of people's firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is a need for money.
Official bounties are the most reasonable way to earn money. Of course, there are many other ways to offer bounties, such as sects and private individuals, but that is called assassination. Compared with the namelessness of the assassination mission and the suspiciousness of the information, the official bounty is
It looks particularly 'beautiful'.
The freshly baked bounties were sold out immediately, and you can still smell the rich aroma of ink on them when you open them.
"Have a look and see if there are any new rewards."
"Yes, there are quite a few. This issue's bounty list is very good, with a total of 274 people added."
"The reward for the top one on the list has been increased again, and now it's one million taels of silver."
"Not only the first place, but also the others have increased a lot. I don't know who can complete it. Once the reward is completed, I will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of my life." There was emotion from the crowd.
Just think about this kind of thing, they are actually very good at 13, let alone the top ten bounties on the list, as long as they can survive three rounds on the bounty list, then basically no one is willing to get into trouble.
Those are all tough things.
The big waves wash away the sand, and what comes out is the shining golden strength.
Qi Jingchu bought the next volume and did not follow the others to gather together. Instead, she went straight to the other side and started reading. She directly skipped the top 100 bounties and quickly scanned down. She was very purposeful and picked the
Location, he was going to Cangzhou to take up a post this time, so he was looking for bounties that could be found near Cangzhou or along the way to Cangzhou.
Frowning, he took out the ink pen from the treasure bag at his waist and marked the target.
The tip of the pen suddenly hovered over a person's name, "Yanshi?"
Cao An, 18 years old, is a third-level Yanshi or above. His strength is unknown. He was last seen in Chiba Town. He is a ruthless man who massacred dozens of ordinary people in Chiba Town and then left. Reward: one hundred taels of silver.
.
'It seems that Yanshi of level three or above should be more careful.'
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, she put away her reward offer, and like a dragon, she passed through the crowd and attacked a lean man in ragged clothes, grabbing his wrist with one hand and twisting it back.
It was an ugly man with malignant sores on his face. He was caught by someone. Feeling the power coming from his wrist, he yelled with an expression of anger: "What are you going to do?"
Qi Jingchu ignored him, but called a woman, "Hey, Miss, stop for a moment."
After saying that, he took out a money bag and threw it over like a magic trick, "Let's see if this is your money bag."
The woman hurriedly caught the money bag, staggered and almost fell. Then she touched her waist and found that the money bag hanging on it was gone. The money bag in her hand was not hers or someone else's.
This was her father's life-saving money. She really couldn't imagine what she would do if this money was lost.
"Thank you, Heroine. Thank you, Heroine."
Qi Jingchu waved her hands, feeling a little unhappy with the looks from around her, and dragged the man to the other side.
"Who are you trying to do? You even dare to meddle in the affairs of my Liuhe Gang. Are you tired of living? If you are capable, leave your name!"
"I, Qi Jingchu, come with me to the Yamen now."
As soon as he heard the woman's name, the ugly man's head drooped, and his face became stern, "It turns out that the Iron-faced God is arresting Mr. Qi. I don't have eyes to see Taishan. I don't need you to follow me. I will go to the Yamen to accept the crime myself."
Qi Jingchu let him go, not worrying that he would dare to escape. None of the people she captured in Canglan Mansion dared to escape. And she was indeed in a hurry to go to Cangzhou, so she immediately waved him away.
The ugly man nodded and bowed and left, heading towards the Yamen.
Under the current rule, there are many great arresters, but there are not many great arresters who are selfless and have a strong sense of justice. Generally, such arresters are killed before they become great arresters. Of course, there are also some smart people who will be conceited and willing to take advantage of others.
, and then wait to become the perfect catcher, but when he becomes the perfect catcher, he will find that he is no longer selfless.
It's not that his original intention has changed, but that he has gone deep into the quagmire, and the intricate fetters have tightly bound him. If he wants to be unselfish, the first person who should be unselfish is himself.
Qi Jingchu is different because she has a father that no one dares to mess with.
…
Dawuguan is a real pass town. Compared with it, the high wall of Qianye Town is like a child's toy. It cuts across Cangzhou and Canglan Prefecture. Cao An and his two people walked here. It was already dark. They stopped and walked.
After many months and miles, we finally saw the city gate.
Along the way, the two of them rarely stopped in the city except for supplies. Firstly, Cao An found it inconvenient to practice, and secondly, he deliberately wanted to reduce contact with others.
Cao An was practicing on the boulder near the river, with his fists spread out and his bearing just like those old boxers who had been raped for decades.
The punches are like the wind, and the experience of two lifetimes has produced incredible miraculous effects in this world.
Cao An practices Xingyi Mu Quan, also known as Xingyi Five Elements. He uses split fists to release force from Zhongfu, Yunmen, and Qi Guan Shaoshang. It is completely different from the confused and specious feeling in his previous life. Cao An really feels that
I feel as if I am in water, and the stagnation and pull caused by every move, punch and kick are extremely obvious.
The Qi and power in the body flow, and the hair orifices all over the body are open and smooth; turn over and collapse the fist, stretch and contract with one breath, and move the hands back and forth. Suddenly, you feel like your arms are thick and your fists are big, your ribs are comfortable, and your steps are light...
The inspirations in his mind converged, and a shadow appeared on its own, and it started to strike with fists and steps.
The fist in Cao An's hand changed, and he faced this unexpected enemy. His aura turned into practice, and a breeze wrapped up in the plains, gathering at Cao An's side. He Shen, who was busy at the same time, also saw this scene, stopped what he was doing, and looked towards
There was a hint of envy in Cao An's eyes.
This is a sudden enlightenment, a sudden enlightenment in the martial arts, and the world and the earth are inspired by the thought. This is the time when the heaven and the earth are all working together.
If nothing unexpected happens, after this experience, Cao An will be able to perfectly integrate his skills and step into the second stage of martial arts, the realm of blood and energy.
As the 'battle' intensified, Cao An no longer adhered to form and meaning, and the moves in his hands lacked some traces of tricks. His moves were like antelopes hanging horns, and his movements were unconstrained. However, his purpose has not changed, and the root of his strength is still derived from
The form and meaning are just no longer limited to moves.
At this moment, he felt as clear as ever in his mind, like a glass that had been wiped clean of dust, grasping, forming, meaning, and pointing swords intertwined.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became. If at the beginning, he had a way to deal with the moves alone, then in less than a quarter of an hour, he discovered that at this moment, he actually did not face Cao An's attack. courage.
This dance didn't stop until the silver moon hung high in the sky, and he stopped and stood contentedly. He could clearly feel the difference in himself, whether it was his body or his momentum.
That breeze is not just a background. The transformation of the physical body and the rapid development of muscle groups come from it. The energy comes from it, nourishing the physical body until the blood and energy are self-generated at the limit. In this current state, if there are ghosts, ordinary ghosts will die if they approach. At least, according to records That's what it said.
The blood and energy are turbulent, and ghosts and gods are changing things.
Standing still on his feet, Cao An fell straight into the stream, took a refreshing bath, and then came ashore.
"You haven't eaten yet, are you waiting for me?"
"You're not hungry either, Brother Cao, are you in the second scene now?"
Cao An nodded. It took more than a month to step into the second scene. It was just like what he imagined. There was not much difference. The original estimate was that he would be able to step into the second scene in two months. Sometimes he seriously doubted the world. The vitality of heaven and earth is mixed with the ultimate principles of martial arts. It depends on each person's practice to comprehend, select and integrate them. Otherwise, it would not be so fast.
"Oh, by the way, what level have you reached before?"
"I am in the third stage of martial arts, the Qi Condensation stage, but now with the weakening of Qi and blood, I can barely be considered the second stage."
"Eat, and have a good rest after eating. Tomorrow we will pass through Dawuguan and enter the boundary of Cangzhou."
Just then, a man came over holding a horse, "How about adding me?"
The tone was cold, but it was not difficult to tell that it was a woman's voice.
The woman was dressed in official vermilion attire, with a knife hanging on the saddle, and a piece of brown linen wrapped around her body, covering most of her head and cheeks, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
When she came forward, she tore off the linen cloth, shook it, and raised a fine dust. Then she neatly folded it and placed it on the saddle, and casually tied the reins to the wooden stake on the side.
But he took the knife off easily.
Zhan Zhan looked ugly and was about to stand up, but was pushed down by Cao An, "I made a bit too much and I really can't finish it. It's okay if my friends can help me."
Qi Jingchu hummed, took the bowl and chopsticks naturally, and ate without saying a word.
She ate very gracefully, in a way that was pleasing to the eye. Cao An felt that her appearance should be a factor, otherwise, no matter how good-looking she was when eating alone, she would not be that good.
She didn't eat much, so she only ate one bowl, but Cao An and Shen Zhong cleaned up the rest carelessly and patted their bellies.
"Little Fatty, I'll leave the cleaning to you. I'm so tired after having a full meal!"
"Brother Cao..."
Cao An reassured him, "Go, go!"
Weighing the pots and bowls heavily, he turned back three times and walked towards the stream.
"My friend, you've eaten this meal, so why don't you do it for me? You might as well just tell me."
"Are you Cao An?"
"It's me, but I don't remember any interactions with your friend."
Qi Jingchu stood up and said, "The intersection is not important. From now on, you will remember me. I am Qi Jingchu, formerly Canglan Prefecture Yamen Xuan Yibao, now Cangzhou Prefecture Yamen Zhu Yibao. Cao An, you are bullying the weak by relying on strength." , killing ordinary people in Chiba Town has violated the laws of our court!"
"Dozens of people are dead. If you don't want to repent and try to escape, you should be killed according to the laws of this dynasty!"
Cao An touched his nose. He didn't want to explain anything. The situation of this world has determined the unfairness and limitations of its so-called laws. He was just a little curious as to who gave him this crime.
If you involve yourself in the power of the imperial court, the road ahead in Cangzhou may not be easy.
He bowed his hands and said, "It turns out to be a court eagle dog, disrespectful!"
"Cao An, are you making yourself uncomfortable?"
Cao An kicked the small mound in front of Fei Fei, "Who is making someone uncomfortable? You are a court agent, not a wanderer. I have dozens of lives on my hands. Have you verified it? Where did the information come from?
Come? Just come and arrest me. Have you never considered an unjust, false or wrongful conviction?"
"Where were you when the wealthy and powerful family caused the tragic death of tens of thousands of people for their own selfish interests? Do you still feel that you are particularly righteous? What you did was sacred and glorious?"
Qi Jingchu frowned slightly, but she was not the one who could change others' opinions with just a few words, otherwise she would not have gained such a big name in Canglan Mansion.
"It is up to someone to investigate the case. This arrest is only responsible for bringing you to justice. Cao An, are you going to be arrested or are you going to wait for me to take action?"
"Feng Yuxiu, Ip Man, Huang Feihong."
When Cao An finished speaking, three figures were guarding him. He himself slowly stepped aside with a calm expression, "Little Fatty, are you okay? Let's pack up and find another place to rest."
Qi Jingchu was so angry that the veins on his forehead were prominent, and he looked fierce, but he couldn't pull away. Yanshi was so shameless. The Cao An now was not the Cao An in Shifang before. There was a heavy weight around him, even if
Although it cannot exert its full strength, it can also take action briefly, making up for its original shortcomings.
As long as they are not killed in an instant, Cao An will have a chance to sacrifice the puppets. These three are all made on the road. They are not exquisite, but they are better in quantity.
On the other hand, Qi Jingchu became more and more frightened as she fought. These were clearly three third-level puppets, but their fighting skills were at their peak. They were so difficult to deal with that she could only parry.
