In the early hours before dawn, in the deep of the night, the faint and distant sound of a rooster crowing could be heard.
At Yuanshun Escort Agency, the curtain of the dormitory for the errand disciples was lifted, and a figure walked out. This person had a square face and was thin, and his complexion was dark. It was Mo Qian who had just woken up. Mo Qian washed his face with cold water, and deliberately picked a thicker branch from the firewood pile, preparing to practice a few routines first. But as soon as Mo Qian started, he heard a sudden sound, and the branch broke. Mo Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that he had stood still for a whole day and slept for a night, and his strength had increased a lot, even these thicker branches could not withstand it. Mo Qian threw away the half-broken branch in his hand and left the yard where the errand disciples lived. Mo Qian was going to the yard where their errand disciples usually practiced. That yard was a little far from here, and it was quite remote. Usually, no one went there except for the practice time. Mo Qian went around from the back of the servants' yard. There were guards guarding the stable and the inner courtyard. At this time, if they bumped into him, they would inevitably be questioned. Mo Qian would rather take a detour. Mo Qian walked into the remote courtyard where the firewood was piled. On the dark night sky, a shining star was hanging upside down. There was no one around and everything was quiet. Mo Qian walked to the weapon rack, took out a waste knife and held it in his hand. This was the first time Mo Qian held a knife in his hand after swallowing the weapon spirit. Although it was just a waste knife with a broken blade, the moment Mo Qian held the knife, a strange feeling rose in his heart. Mo Qian started from the opening move and performed the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife one by one. And sometimes fast and sometimes slow, the more he fought, the more he felt it. Gradually, the pauses between the moves had a certain rhythm. After Mo Qian finished the fight, his mind was as clear as a mirror. His strength had increased significantly. No wonder he broke the branch with a starting move. He had a lot of delicious food at the restaurant yesterday, and his muscles were trained thoroughly with the Zhuang Gong. His training yesterday was probably equivalent to ten days of training for others. After all, he had the experience bonus of the entry-level Five Tigers and Sheep Knife. Once his physical fitness improved slightly, his strength would increase exponentially. It was effective immediately. Mo Qian performed the routine of the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife three times in a row. After three times, Mo Qian stopped. The muscles of his right arm and shoulder were slightly swollen and painful. His physical fitness was still weak, and the entry-level swordsmanship could not last long. Mo Qian sighed. Improving physical fitness is a slow process, and there is no point in being anxious. "If I can supplement with food and medicine, I guess I can improve faster." Mo Qian blinked and muttered to himself. The delicious food at the restaurant yesterday was obviously effective, but with Mo Qian's financial resources, he would never eat and drink like that, and medicine supplements were even more unrealistic. "It's easier to get things done if you have money. Money is a resource, and it's the same in every world. After passing the assessment, you have to find a way to make money first." Mo Qian felt that his current state was like when he first joined the company in his previous life, with a lot of things to do and nothing to do. Mo Qian took a short break, then put the waste knife back on the weapon rack and started to stand up. Mo Qian continued to try the way of internal breath operation that he saw in his dream. Until the sky was bright, Mo Qian breathed out a white breath, which shot out from his mouth like an arrow. This was the effect of holding the breath without revealing it. However, he still didn't understand the internal power of the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife. Mo Qian first left the escort agency from the corner door of the backyard, and ate a big bowl of mutton soup buns outside. He drank a full spoonful of chili oil, and his stomach was warm. After eating, Mo Qian returned to the escort agency, went to the place where the food was stored, got two steamed buns, and walked towards the horse farm while biting the steamed buns. Mo Qian worked in the horse stable for the whole day. Old Man Sun had a back injury and couldn't do heavy work, so Mo Qian was basically the one doing the work, and Old Man Sun just helped out. But with Old Man Sun here, Mo Qian couldn't practice standing meditation like he did yesterday. If Old Man Sun saw his weird crab-like walking posture, he would probably think he was possessed by evil spirits. Mo Qian's physical fitness and strength had not only improved, but his way of exerting strength was also different from before, so he didn't even breathe hard after a day's work. Old Man Sun looked at Mo Qian, who didn't even sweat a drop, and his wrinkled old face suddenly smiled like a flower, saying: "After all, he is a young man, and he is not vague at all when doing work." Old Man Sun was already thinking that if he could keep Mo Qian in the horse stable for a long time, he would be much more relaxed. Mo Qian grinned. As soon as he saw Old Man Sun's expression, he knew what the old man was thinking. Mo Qian sneered in his heart: I will be gone in a few more days, you can enjoy yourself. With your idiotic temper, I would rather do chores than work in this horse farm. It was 6:00 pm, the time for these chores disciples to practice in the firewood house yard. The horse farm where Mo Qian was located was the farthest from here. When he walked into the yard from the corner gate, he found that there were only seven people in the yard. Except for Kong Bin, Zhang Zheng, and Li Chong in the first row, Mo Qian only knew the faces of the four people standing in the second row, but he couldn't even call out their names. The original body was introverted and hardly communicated with other chores disciples. He had only been here for a few days, and he had all kinds of problems in his mind, so he couldn't take care of socializing with these chores disciples. However, Mo Qian felt that this was not good. At least the news was blocked. If there was any news, no one would tell him. Mo Qian thought that no matter which world you are in, communication skills are very important. If you can get along well with people, you will save a lot of trouble in many things. Even if the original body is not dead, with his temperament, there is no possibility of turning over in this world. However, since he has come here, he will live well for the original body, at least make a living.Latest Chapter
Chapter 178 Finding a Sparring Partner
Once he pondered carefully and deeply absorbed the elemental forms within them, he discovered he had developed a distinct capacity to break down any sword technique into its component elemental forms.In other words, he could decompose any sword technique into combinations of elemental forms.This opened a path he had previously been searching for without success: a genuine framework for fusion.Introduce the elemental form into fusion, Mo Qian thought, his eyes brightening.He turned the idea over and began to try it.But after the first attempts, his confidence deflated. He had oversimplified the problem. Even if he could break a technique apart, how would he reassemble the pieces into something new?As the saying goes: destruction is easy, creation is hard.No wonder Xiao Zongting, having devoted his whole life to this pursuit, had only produced three incomplete moves to show for it.Creating martial arts from the level of elemental forms was not easier than existing methods. It wa
Chapter 177 The Rewards of Liulu
The promotion was nothing to dismiss either. Apprentice escorts and full escorts did the same work, but apprentices earned less. Becoming a full member meant his pay would finally match the work."In addition, I have authorized a special allocation from Chief Accountant Xu Shouxian of one thousand taels of silver to be used toward your cultivation. It will be distributed to you monthly over ten months.""I caution you that this money is not to be spent carelessly. It is to be used for cultivation."Mo Qian cupped his fists and answered firmly, "Understood."He thought to himself, however: I am worth tens of thousands of taels at this point. Why would I spend a cultivation stipend carelessly?What Ruan Fengshan had said so far had clearly been agreed upon before Mo Qian arrived and came as no surprise to the room. Most people responded with little more than a glance in Mo Qian's direction.But the next thing Ruan Fengshan said produced a shift in nearly every expression in the hall."T
Chapter 176 Promotion Ahead of Schedule
At that moment, Ruan Fengshan said calmly, "The rice-character lantern meant the gold had left the city, everything proceeding as planned. A single-character lantern meant things had gone wrong and to evacuate immediately. Is that not correct, He Guizhou?"Hearing Ruan Fengshan lay out precisely the signal he and Yu Wenlong had agreed on, He Guizhou's legs went soft beneath him."The county magistrate has his methods. You already know all of this. Would you rather be sentenced and broken on the rack, or will you confess now?" Shen Yanliu looked at He Guizhou with cold, still eyes.The moment He Guizhou met Shen Yanliu's gaze, something in him gave way. Shen Yanliu's manner of sentencing was even more frightening than Jie Daohan's.He Guizhou collapsed forward, kowtowing repeatedly like a chicken pecking grain. "Your Honor, this subordinate was blinded by greed for a moment. Yu Wenlong offered me five thousand taels of silver to release that sky lantern signal. I was deceived by him...
Chapter 175 Magistrate's Hall
Zhou An's shoulders trembled. He forced a look of concern onto his face and said, "Have you found the young master? The young master is only three years old. The longer he is in the hands of those people, the greater the danger..."Ruan Fengshan looked at Zhou An's face without any expression. He had not expected Zhou An to still be trying to hold the line at this point. He sighed quietly and said, "Was it you who had Jing'er write that message?"The moment the words reached him, Zhou An's body jerked and he slid from the stool to the floor. He was terrified, but his eyes moved with a murmur under his breath. "Yu Wenlong, you idiot, how did you let that child stay alive..."Ruan Fengshan's face went utterly cold. He reached behind his back, drew a leather whip with a hiss of metal fittings, took two steps forward, and brought it down across Zhou An's face with a crack, the words coming with it. "Faithless, poisonous dog."A weal two fingers wide appeared on Zhou An's face, the flesh r
Chapter 174 The Request for Peace
Luan Jingfu was surprised. He had not expected Ruan Fengshan to say this so plainly, or to speak on Mo Qian's behalf directly. He had always been in genuine awe of this man. His expression shifted immediately and he cupped his fists. "I would not dare."Ruan Fengshan saw the alarm on Luan Jingfu's face and smiled slightly. "After you have secured the gold, Mr. Luan, please go and rest. I will see to the rest.""Yes." Luan Jingfu replied with full deference, then drove the escort cart away.Ruan Fengshan carried the sleeping Jing'er and went first to Ma Chunying's room.Since Ruan Jing's disappearance, Ma Chunying had been consumed by self-blame and had not stopped weeping. The moment she saw Ruan Jing come back safely, she broke down completely. Ruan Jing woke at the sound and immediately wrapped his arms around her neck and would not let go.Ruan Jing had been raised by Ma Chunying from infancy. Ruan Fengshan was occupied with affairs and could not always be present, and when he was,
Chapter 173 Return to the Bureau
Mo Qian dug further, and the fine-steel box came into view under the soil.He tossed the shovel aside, channeled inner breath into his arms, and lifted the thousand-pound iron box straight out of the pit.Even with inner breath supporting his arms against a thousand pounds, he felt the strain.Mo Qian's steps were unsteady, and he sank several inches into the soft ground beside the grave before he was able to set the iron box down on the escort cart.He shook the dirt from his hands and body, looked at Ruan Fengshan, and said, "Bureau head, shall we go?""Wait." Ruan Fengshan set Ruan Jing on the escort cart, then moved quickly and pulled two unconscious figures from behind a nearby grave, dropped them onto the cart, and said, "Take these two back as well."Mo Qian looked at them by the light. They appeared to be merely unconscious, nothing like the gang members who had died violently. They were not injured.They were also wearing the clothes of Yuanshun Dart Bureau servants.These tw
