Several people got up and walked to the window and looked outside.
In the courtyard of the Prison Department, in front of the remaining small buildings, groups of figures wearing sackcloth and mourning were slowly taking out relics from the buildings and leaving in formation.
The cry came from these teams.
"It's Team 8 and Team 6..." Liu Han said softly.
"Of the teams that went up before, only three were left alive. The rest were all gone..." Chen Hansheng had no intention of joking at this time. His face was heavy with a hint of fear.
If Captain Zhang Rongfang hadn't thought of a solution at that time, not many of their ninth team would have survived.
Huang Yu's real body method is extremely fast and has too many tricks.
This encirclement and suppression probably resulted in hundreds of casualties.
Especially in the forest, it is impossible to form an effective siege, and there are too many covers to avoid.
"Stop looking and cultivate yourself well." Zhang Rongfang sighed softly.
Suddenly he remembered the metal part hidden in the handle of the Moon-Chasing Knife.
That mysterious part seems to be part of something. You need to collect five of them to find any clues.
He used to think that the world was just as he saw it.
But now, Lingting seems to be hiding some special secret.
"Let's go, let's go out and meet our colleagues and give them a ride." Zhang Rongfang said softly.
There were too many casualties in this siege and pursuit.
Human life is like worthless, it's gone if you don't have it.
The three of them went downstairs, took the remaining nine team members in the building, and went out together, silently seeing off the family members of the casualties.
The other surviving captains of the Prison Department, the Corps, Director Xing, the Warden, and even the Prison Warden Li Ran also came forward one after another.
Among the people who died, actually the Ministry of Prisons was only part of them.
There are many more places inside and outside Tanyang City where white silk ribbons are hung everywhere.
The sound of mourning can be heard almost a few blocks away.
In the next few days, Zhang Rongfang returned to his home and had a month's leave.
In addition to recuperating from his injuries and attending the funeral, he also took the opportunity to quietly practice the remaining three talismans at home.
There are a total of seven kinds of talisman martial arts in Huichunjingshi Fudian. He has practiced four of them to break the limit, and there are three left, namely Hunyuan Talisman, Soul Fixing Talisman, and Spirit Picking Talisman.
During the break, Zhang Rongfang tried to practice these three talismans while accumulating attribute points.
In a full month, he had accumulated three more attribute points.
All were added to the Hunyuan Talisman, raising it to perfection.
But after reaching perfection, the Hunyuan Talisman can no longer be improved.
Even to the point where whenever I practice, I will feel pain as if my internal organs are being torn apart.
Martial arts are generally divided into training methods and fighting methods.
There are two methods respectively.
You can't continue to practice higher, but the meaning is already very clear.
That was his body, as Ye Bai said, it had reached its limit.
call!
A handful of fallen leaves were stirred up by the fist wind and flew everywhere.
In the small courtyard, Zhang Rongfang's hands were in an arc, constantly slapping the surroundings, sometimes making fists and sometimes turning into palms.
After completing a set of forty-nine Hunyuan Talisman moves, he just made a complete circle in the yard.
Finally, he stopped and stood upright. His face turned slightly red. He felt that there was still slight tearing pain in his body.
Immediately he sighed lightly.
'Is the eighth level really my limit?'
Unknowingly, his eyes fell on the life attribute on the attribute column that had been reduced a lot.
The Hunyuan Talisman's situation made him truly understand what it felt like to reach the limit.
‘As long as I don’t break the limit level in practicing martial arts, it won’t affect my body. I can even practice martial arts an unlimited number of times until I reach perfection.
Even if it is just perfect, it can still have many effects. But...'
Martial arts does not only become lethal after breaking through limits.
Consummation is also very strong.
For example, the Eagle Claw Kung Fu, the perfect level of Eagle Claw Kung Fu and the limit-breaking level, differ only in the hardness of the fingers and the improvement of the whole body by breaking the limits.
If the power of martial arts after breaking the limit is 100, then the power of perfection is 60.
It's just that Zhang Rongfang is unwilling to take this step.
'Now that my limit has been reached, any enhancement to the body will have no effect. Neither strength nor speed can be improved...Perhaps it is time to try to improve my life.'
Zhang Rongfang was planning in his mind, and started to measure virtual merit for the next attribute.
Compared with directly increasing life, improving the Observation of Virtual Reality is more cost-effective.
This is what he tried before.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the courtyard door, interrupting his train of thought.
"who?"
"It's me, Brother Zhang!"
Li Huoyun's voice shouted loudly outside.
Zhang Rongfang quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
Then I saw Li Huoyun walking in quickly with a maid.
"Why do you have time to come to my place? Haven't you been escorted by your father to practice martial arts and study scriptures recently?" Zhang Rongfang said in surprise.
"Oh, don't talk about it. My father is very worried right now. The incident with Zhuyue Knife had a huge impact. There are still people from above coming to investigate the situation one after another. They are sure that there are no leaks.
Anyway, I don’t have anything to do now. Brother, how are you injured? Are you okay? Let’s take a walk, let’s go out and relax.”
Li Huoyun had an encouraging expression on his face as if he had finally come out to show off.
"Relax? Where do you want to go?" Zhang Rongfang was speechless.
"Brother, you are a regular customer. Stop pretending, okay? I know everything." Li Huoyun suddenly laughed.
"what do you know?"
"I often go alone at night to have a good time. Brother, you are too unloyal." Li Huoyun shook his head.
"What's the point of going to a brothel like Lelou? Listening to music, drinking and watching dramas every day is just a waste of time." Zhang Rongfang disagreed.
"Oh, brother, you are dishonest." Li Huoyun pointed at him and complained, "Okay, okay, if you don't go, you won't go. There will be an ancient and second-hand book trade fair in Yaoyuan Books the day after tomorrow, will you go?"
"Old books?" Zhang Rongfang narrowed his eyes, "Are there any martial arts manuals or something like that?"
"Of course there is. There are all sorts of books, and the trade fair hosted by Yaoyuan Book Club is the largest exchange of this kind in Tan Yang.
The key is that there will be more purdah ladies participating than last time. It is an activity organized privately by us young people, so if you have books, you can also exchange them. Hehehe... "
Li Huoyun is becoming more and more relaxed now.
He emphasized the pronunciation on the last word, and it was obvious that Zhang Rongfang immediately understood what it meant.
Good guy, there are even pornographic books...
The atmosphere of this Great Spirit is quite open.
"Okay, let's get together then." He didn't want to go at first, but Zhang Rongfang thought that it would be good if he could find some exercises similar to the Guanxu Gong from those ancient books.
Objects such as martial arts secrets can actually be considered resources.
Zhang Rongfang had also looked for some pawn shops before, but could not find anyone selling secret books.
Later I discovered that this kind of thing is not worth much when sold alone.
Because no one dares to practice with it casually.
Many secrets require a master to carry them with them, teach them through words and deeds, and then record the key points in a book to remind themselves.
In other words, the secret book actually only records a small part of the content. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of anyone being able to practice martial arts well just by following the secret book.
But literary skills are different.
Wen Gong does not require many details of many movements, but mainly focuses on mental methods. Therefore, cheats are still useful.
"Then it's agreed. I'll call you when the time comes. Brother, you did well last time, too. Make good use of it this time." Li Huoyun had a look on his face that you understand.
The two chatted about the recent situation for a while, and when Ouyang Jianrong was mentioned, they were both filled with indignation.
Ouyang Jianrong couldn't use high-grade warriors, so he used low- and medium-grade soldiers and officers as cannon fodder and consumables to fill Huang Yuzhen's trump card.
At first, Father Li Huoyun resisted and refused to let the people from the Prison Department be transferred.
But later an order came from above, requiring local governments to mobilize all their manpower and follow Ouyang Jianrong's arrangements.
As a last resort...
Zhang Rongfang expressed his understanding. In fact, he also saw Ouyang's messenger being blocked by Mr. Li at first.
Later, he was transferred again. In fact, everyone understood that Li Ran probably couldn't handle the pressure.
This also shows in disguise that the secrets involved in Zhuyue Dao have a great impact.
After chatting for a while, Li Huoyun stood up and left.
After leaving Zhang's house, he returned to his carriage.
"Let's go to Ningxiangxing."
"Master, didn't you say you were going to Xinlelou?" Fengshan, the driver of the car and his bodyguard, asked honestly.
"That was before, now go to Ningxiangxing for me! Just leave. Why do you talk so much nonsense?" Li Huoyun said impatiently.
He did want to go to Lelou before. Because he came here, he originally thought that Brother Zhang Ying was unlikely to go to the exchange meeting.
Unexpectedly, Brother Zhang actually agreed.
In this case...for the happiness of Brother Zhang's life, he must be well prepared this time.
Brother Zhang is now quite old. Helping him find a suitable sister-in-law will not be in vain for his life-saving grace.
Li Huoyun was thinking about it, but there was no movement in the carriage along the way.
It wasn't until he was almost at Ningxiang that he jumped out of the car, bought some fruit on the roadside and carried it over.
Ningxiangxing is the most cutting-edge aromatherapy cosmetics and powder store in Tanyang.
There are often new products of various fragrance powders, fragrances and rouges from all over the world, even from abroad.
The most important thing is that people from the Yaoyuan Book Club often come here to gather.
And the president, Sun Chaoyang, is a frequent visitor here.
Soon, Li Huoyun walked to the gate of a courtyard that resembled a large mansion.
The door was open, with pink silver-edged petal incense lamps hanging on both sides, and there were people guarding the door.
Li Huoyun stepped forward and threw a few large coins to the guard, then strode in carrying the fruit.
Inside, a wrinkled old servant was already waiting at the lobby entrance.
"Hello Mr. Li."
"Uncle Cao, is Miss Sun still there?"
"Admiring the newly arrived incense bottles inside." The old servant replied respectfully.
"Thanks."
Li Huoyun quickly entered the door and turned left into a side hall.
Then they saw Sun Chaoyue wearing a long red dress, with rose Ruyi moire patterns embroidered on her shoulders, a slender waist, and a high chest.
His appearance is beautiful, his figure is eye-catching, and his temperament is the most bright and moving core in the entire hall.
There were several eldest ladies from Tan Yangli in the side hall, but they were completely suppressed by them at this time.
"Li Huoyun, what are you doing here? This is not the place where young men like you should come."
Sun Chaoyue casually put down the incense bottle in his hand and looked sideways at Li Huoyun.
"If Xiao He hadn't begged you for mercy, you see, I would have ignored you." Her expression was cold, and she didn't bother to pretend in front of these young girls.
If she were an outsider, she would still show a gentle and decent side, but in front of people like Li Huoyun...
"Sister Dayue...don't I want to find a good sister-in-law for my eldest brother?" Li Huoyun smiled apologetically.
"Your Yaoyuan Book Club has the widest connections in Tan Yang. Who doesn't know that the eldest ladies in the boudoir have the most confidence in you?
You can tell what kind of temperament and character a young lady has, just like reading the patterns on the palm of your hand, it’s easy for you.”
In order to find a good match for his eldest brother, Li Huoyun went all out on this trip.
He carefully took out a golden incense bottle from his sleeve.
"No, I heard that you like aromatherapy, but I spent a lot of money and searched many ways to find such a magical fragrance!"
He carefully handed the golden incense bottle to the approaching maid.
The maid held it in both hands, returned to Sun Chaoyue, and offered it gently.
"Shenmixiang??" Sun Chaoyue took the small bottle, gently opened the stopper and smelled it, with a hint of appreciation on his face.
"Don't even think about this small bottle if you don't have hundreds of liang. You are really interested."
Li Huoyun smiled apologetically in pain.
"Then about my elder brother..."
"It's not just once or twice that you ran away because of your brother's affairs." Sun Chaoyue put away the incense and said casually.
"But although your eldest brother is an official, his starting point in our circle is a bit low."
She remembered that Li Huoyun's eldest brother was named Zhang Ying. He was a martial artist, and he was already twenty-six years old. The upper limit was a little lower. The most important thing was his background.
Zhang Ying's family was a hunter in the village. Such a starting point was too low.
If you want a good match, you must be a good match.
In this case, the right match for him should be the maids and maids of various families in the circle.
"Well, Xiaoyu, how about you go and try it?" Sun Chaoyue casually pointed at a maid beside him.
"Huh? Miss, this... Xiaoyu doesn't want to leave you!" The maid immediately waved her hands.
"Sister Da Yue, do you think... are you planning to arrange someone in the circle...?" When Li Huoyun saw this, he immediately became unhappy.
He didn't spend so much energy just so that Brother Zhang could find a maid.
Although in a family like theirs, many of the personal maids and maids are like sisters and are extremely close to the master's family.
There are also many people who are really willing to take the initiative to marry these women.
"What? You're still not happy?" Sun Chaoyue shook his head speechlessly, "Do you think Xiaoyu is bad? There are not many petty officials and officials who admire her."
Li Huoyun naturally knows this truth.
Many petty officials will pursue big maids like Xiaoyu in order to build relationships.
In addition, most of these women are beautiful and talented, so this type of union is everywhere in Daling.
only....
"Sister Dayue, please stop teasing me. I just want to find a virtuous sister-in-law in my circle. Just be kind and help me." Li Huoyun bowed repeatedly.
"My eldest brother is a loyal and honest person. He has been practicing martial arts all day long. He is a delicate person and can take care of others. Now that he has an official career, he just wants to find a good sister-in-law who can live a down-to-earth life." He quickly introduced.
Sun Chaoyue was helpless. She wasn't afraid of this guy's hard attacks before, but now he's using soft attacks, and she can't bear it anymore. After all, he's been beaten since he was young.
Finally, she thought about it.
"Let's do this. I'll push your brother's situation to the circle and see if anyone is willing. Then I'll give you some suggestions."
Li Huoyun was immediately overjoyed.
"In that case, I would like to thank Sister Otsuki for making it happen. With Sister Otsuki's words, this matter will definitely be accomplished!"
"Don't be too happy yet." Sun Chaoyue was speechless, "If no one in the circle likes me, don't blame me for not doing my best. After all, you can't force things like this."
"That's natural, natural." Li Huoyun smiled and bowed repeatedly. "In this case, I will leave first."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Sun Chaoyue waved her hands helplessly.
