Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow.

Chapter 212 Return to life
The mountains are vast and the sunset glow hanging in the sky looks like a brocade, dyeing the sky orange.

The setting sun was as red as blood, slowly sinking among the rolling hills.

A horse galloped past on the winding road like black lightning. The sound of its hooves was crisp and rapid, breaking the silence of the mountains.

Shen Qing was wearing a tight suit, and her sleeves fluttered in the wind.

He held the reins tightly in one hand, with a somewhat dusty and heroic look on his face.

At this moment, Shen Qing's eyes changed. He found a drop of ink dripping from above in his sight, which spread out into lines of text and a skilled reminder popped up.

[Skill: Horsemanship (Minor Achievement)]

[Progress: 301/300 points]

[Status: Upgradable]

[Note: After continuous practice, your understanding of riding skills will be further improved. After you have mastered riding skills, you can expect to increase your riding speed by 100% and master the "hiding in the pedals" technique.]

"Huh? Riding speed increased by 100%, hiding in the pedals?"

"The increased speed means that I can reach farther places in less time, and the 'hiding in the step' can confuse some mortals' perception, which is not bad."

Shen Qing murmured to himself.

Seeing that the upgrade conditions were met, he crawled on the horse's back and without any hesitation focused his consciousness on the ink panel: "Riding skills, improve!"

The familiar process reappeared.

Just after Shen Qing had this thought, the information on the ink panel was immediately refreshed.

[Skill: Horsemanship (Great)]

[Progress: 1/400 points]

[Status: cannot be upgraded]

[Note: Your riding skills have reached a high level. You can control your mount more easily, and your riding speed is expected to increase by 100%. You have also mastered the "hiding in the pedals" technique.]

Great achievement in riding skills.

Shen Qing skillfully gathered his thoughts and held his breath.

As usual, a flood of memories flooded into his mind, and his head suddenly became dizzy.

Shen Qing took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

In the extra memories, through day after day of practice, he gradually gained a deeper understanding of the horse's leg strength and mastered the horse riding skills more deeply.

After the discomfort in his head disappeared, Shen Qing slowly straightened up. He found that riding a horse had suddenly become easier for him.

He turned around and looked at Changqiao Town, which had disappeared, and took out a warm egg from his bulging arms.

Sitting on the horse's back, he leisurely peeled the eggshell and took a bite.

He stuffed the remaining egg white into his mouth and ate another one.

Shen Qing showed a bit of satisfaction on his face, with a slight smile on his face.

"drive!"

Shen Qing couldn't help but squeeze the horse's belly, and Zhuifeng shot out like a black arrow.

It took two quarters of time, until night fell and everything was quiet, for Shen Qing finally arrived at the towering city gate of Yongzhou.

By this time, the entry time to Yongzhou had passed and the city gates had been closed.

Several lanterns hanging under the city gate swayed in the wind, casting mottled shadows.

The guards holding spears noticed the sound of horse hooves, stopped talking, and shouted, "Who is coming?"

Shen Qing reined in his horse and slowed down his pace, slowly walking to the city gate.

He took out a token from his bosom and revealed his identity to the guards at the city gate: "I am Shen Qing, the envoy of the Weiwu Division. I have been ordered to investigate the evil spirits that have been wreaking havoc in Changqiao Town, which has delayed my entry into the city. I hope you brothers will be kind enough to open the city gate."

The guards exchanged glances quickly, and then one of them stepped forward quickly, respectfully took the token, and after carefully checking it, immediately waved his hand to signal the others to pass. The heavy city gate slowly opened with a low creaking sound.

It has to be said that Yongzhou is a county town after all, and there are not so many messy rules for entering the city.

Shen Qing smiled slightly, nodded to the guards in thanks, then rode his horse into the city smoothly.

At this time, many government offices in the county city have reached the end of their shifts.

However, since many demons like to commit crimes late at night, the Weiwu Division, like the Bingmasi, has people on duty even in the dead of night.

Shen Qing didn't want to leave any room for gossip, so he went straight to the Weiwu Division to report and change today's duty sign.

The office of the county city guard and military department.

Compared to the busyness and bustle during the day, the Weiwu Division seems much quieter at night.

Only the faint candlelight coming from the duty room remained, indicating that there were still people on duty in the Weiwu Division.

The night is as dark as ink, and everything is silent.

Shen Qing walked briskly across the empty courtyard, his footsteps echoing in rhythm.

He stepped into the side room, and the slight air current caused the candlelight in the room to flicker, and the light and shadows also moved with it.

There was a clerk leaning against the table in the room, holding a yellowed book in his hand and reading it with great interest.

Noticing someone coming in, the clerk put down the book in his hand, and when he saw Shen Qing, he complained: "Shen Chasi, why are you back so late today? The chief clerk said he was waiting for your report today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing chuckled, took out his badge and handed it over, saying, "When did our chief officer become so diligent?"

"It's all because of the commander." The clerk took the sign and said, "Now, for some reason, there seem to be more and more demons around Yongzhou. The commander has put a lot of pressure on us, and there is nothing we can do. But it's late now, so it won't be a problem for you to report tomorrow."

Shen Qing patted the clerk's shoulder gently, smiled and said, "I'll take care of it myself."

After dealing with the duty card matter, Shen Qing hurriedly left the side room, returned to his horse, put on the three wolf skins, and went straight to the chief officer's room.

He knew that his boss was very suspicious. Moreover, the other party was a spy of the Huangtian Sect and he didn't know what tricks he had. It would be better not to provoke him for the time being to avoid trouble in the future.

Just perform your job duties step by step.

If he is told to report, then he should report and not leave any excuse.

The three halls of the inner court where the chief envoy was staying were brightly lit with candles.

Shen Qing was standing at the door and was about to knock, but he heard the sound of lovemaking inside. He paused and just stood outside the door.

He heard the movements inside becoming more and more bold.

In less than an incense stick of time, everything came to an abrupt halt with a loud shout.

Shen Qing frowned, feeling that our chief envoy seemed a little weak.

After standing outside the door for a while and making sure that everything was done, Shen Qing walked forward lightly and knocked on the carved wooden door. The crisp sound suddenly rang out in the silent air.

"I, Shen Qing, have been ordered to thoroughly investigate the wolf monster threat in Changqiao Town. I have come to report to you, my Lord."

His voice was not loud, but it came through clearly and fell into the ears of the people in the room.

There was a slight and rapid movement in the house, as if the people in the house were a little panicked by the sudden news.

After a while, the rustling noises gradually disappeared, and a deep and majestic male voice came out from inside the house: "Come in."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing gently pushed open the wooden door.

After stepping over the threshold, Shen Qing's eyes quickly swept across the furnishings in the room, and finally fell on Zheng Yuanqiu, the chief inspector who was wearing a blue shirt and had a slightly dissatisfied look on his face.

At this time, Zheng Yuanqiu was sitting at the desk. The flickering candlelight stretched his fat figure long and cast it on the mottled wall.

Shen Qing stepped forward, bowed and said, "Sir, I have fulfilled your mission. I have already found out the truth about the wolf monster in Changqiao Town."

Zheng Yuanqiu raised his head and asked, "Tell me what's going on."
