The expected twenty-second patrol did not occur. When the last patrol was approaching, He Sheng followed his lieutenants for a walk. Daytime was different from night, and he thought it was better to follow them for safety reasons, just in case.

"Alas, there are only a few taels of silver in a year." After the shift was over, when everyone was sitting in the room to rest, someone sighed. Of course, the annual salary was less than ten taels of silver, and there were six hours in the evening, and the rest time was only half an hour at most.

"Hey, street vendors earn more than you. If you have the ability, don't do it." Another person, who seemed to have a better relationship with the person who spoke, teased.

"." In response, the man rolled his eyes and said weakly, "I'm a small vendor, and you come to my door every day to ask for bribes, right?"

"Hahahahaha~~~"

The group of people couldn't help but burst into laughter. The bickering between the two was a beautiful scenery in their team, which allowed everyone to relax every day.

"Do you think the imperial court knows what we are doing?" The meaning of the person asking the question was very clear. "What we are doing" refers to their solicitation of bribes from street vendors, shops, brothels and the like.

"The superiors are definitely well-informed, but it's hard to say for those above them. A hundred years ago, there was a big incident in the palace. When the eunuchs in the palace purchased eggs that cost two or three cents each, they charged the emperor ten taels of silver for each egg."

As soon as this man finished speaking, several captains who were unaware of the matter widened their eyes and cried out in surprise.

"How much? Ten taels of silver each. I remember the exchange rate between silver and copper coins was very stable, one tael of silver was about nine hundred and eighty-seven coins.

Even if an egg costs three cents, ten taels of silver is enough to buy three thousand two hundred and eighty or ninety eggs. The eunuchs are really evil, the price of an egg has increased by more than three thousand times.

"So, even for a small egg, the emperor in the palace didn't know the actual price, and the eunuchs were kept in the dark for many years. You expect him to know the suffering of the people, isn't that nonsense?"

Seeing that they were talking more and more excessively, He Sheng immediately intervened.

"Cough cough."

"Go, go, go home and sleep."

When everyone saw Xiaoqi like this, they immediately shut up and went home.

Mr. He was also very moved by everyone's discussion.

He thought that the situation in Guyu Country was extremely bad, but he never thought it would be this bad. An egg could be sold at a sky-high price, and the emperor had been deceived for so many years. Isn't the task a bit difficult? What's even more fucked up is that there was no indication of the reward from beginning to end.

"Forget it, let's just have some fun. I'm not sure if my method of killing people all the way will work."

Reality is not a historical time travel story. Not everyone can remember the specific events that happened in each dynasty. Nor can a country become strong by simply applying what you have learned.

The days that followed were relatively simple. He participated in the first and last patrols every night, and then stayed at the Hundred Households Office and worked hard to repay the debt of the "Advance Future System".

In this way, six hours passed, and he could repay the duty twenty-two times a day (the first and last night duty required him to follow the patrol). In addition, during the six hours of rest at home, he squeezed out three hours to practice the "Tongxuan Jue" twelve times.

That’s thirty-four times in one day!

If it happens to be a holiday, hehe, I'll be on duty.

There must be people in the 100-household unit, and patrols must be carried out continuously during the day and night. Therefore, the two general flags need to leave several small flag teams on duty. Compared with patrolling an area frequently on weekdays, the patrol range on holidays is larger.

Of course, it wasn't that the same teams came every holiday, but they took turns. He was unlucky because the last time Wang Xiaoqi's (deceased) team was on a break.

In a blink of an eye, it was the 28th day.

After patrolling with his captains, the Hundred Households Office immediately returned to He Sheng's own room. He couldn't wait to start practicing "Tong Xuan Jue".

One hour, two hours, three hours, three and a half hours.

[Repaying: "Tong Xuan Jue" 1000/1000. 】

【Repayment completed! 】

[Advanceable options: "Shadow-Killing Blade Technique", "Tongxuan Jue" (minor success), "Dakaibei Hand". ]

【Number of advance payments available: 1. 】

"call--"

Debt free.

The number of advance payments finally increased from zero to one.

"I can understand that you haven't mastered the "Da Kaibei Hand". After all, you only take it out to look at it occasionally and have never practiced it at all." Indeed, he is busy like a grandson every day and has no time to practice "Da Kaibei Hand" at all.

"The problem is that the Shadow Killing Sword Technique has been used in actual combat, but it hasn't even gotten started yet."

If the "Shadow-Killing Sword Technique" could have opened its mouth to criticize someone, he would have been scolded to death long ago. How did you use the sword technique in the first place? Didn't you have a little fear in your heart?

Without the support of the "Tongxuan Jue" training Qi into the body, he would definitely not be able to use the Soul Breaking Slash and Thousand Eyes Slash. Moreover, even if he used the spiritual energy in his body, the power of the sword moves he performed could only be said to be below the passing line, failing!
In a normal "Soul Breaking Slash", the spiritual energy does not only attach to the blade to increase its sharpness, but can also extend a section to unexpectedly stab a person to death, or cut him in two.

Even when he was fighting with the escort, the "Shadow Killing Saber Technique" was just a simple introduction. When the escort used a dagger to fight a steel knife, it was not as simple as breaking an arm. The extended spiritual blade had already opened his head, and red and white splashed all over the ground.

The sword net formed by the twelve blades of "Thousand Eyes Slash" is even more horrific. A real sword net covers the entire enemy's body, but "Thousand Eyes Slash" can only intercept the enemy from the front.

Sword skills have something to do with combat experience, but not much. At most, it's just knowing when to use which move and being more experienced with the sword.

The sword moves in "Shadow Killing Sword Technique" require the support of cultivation and the mastery of sword techniques. Only when the two work together can they unleash unparalleled power.

In addition, don't think that the things given by the Shadow Division are ordinary stuff. In fact, "Shadow Killing Sabre Technique" and "Tongxuan Jue" are a bit ordinary, but ordinary means that they are highly applicable to most people, and the probability of practicing Cha Pi is extremely low, so low that it can be ignored.

At least, it is very difficult to find a technique similar to these two outside.

"The Shadow-Killing Blade Technique, the Mysterious Secret Technique, and the Great Stone-Opening Technique."

Choose one of three!

The swordsmanship can directly improve the combat effectiveness, and then the flag-level fighter will be invincible. At least, in Songlin County, he will definitely be the most outstanding flag-level fighter.

As for "Big Stone Opening Hand", it seems to be good too. It improves the ability of bare-handed combat and takes a path of both hardness and softness. The hard and fierce strength can smash the standard steel knives issued by the Hundred Households with one palm. Please be sure to see clearly that it is smashed, not broken. The soft strength can penetrate the standard armor and hurt the internal organs.

""Tongxuan Jue"!"

Both have their own merits, but he finally chose "Tong Xuan Jue".

To borrow a famous saying, the battle between the gods of death is a battle of spiritual pressure. And now the Ancient Fish Country is in an era when cultivators are emerging and each type of cultivation is still very crude.

Therefore, the battles among practitioners (those practicing martial arts, those practicing qigong, those practicing swordplay, etc.) are ultimately a battle of the amount and quality of spiritual energy. If you have reached a higher realm, I will show you a shitty sword move, and let me crush you with my realm (value).

Of course, He Sheng is like this now, but it may not be the case in the future. If one day, his Qigong training method needs to be repaid for ten or eight years, and he needs to improve his combat effectiveness, he will naturally choose powerful sword techniques, arrow techniques, and palm techniques to improve his hard power and deal with various situations.

The cultivation system of the Ancient Fish Nation is somewhat different from that of later generations. After the Qi enters the body, it will flow through the whole body. When the Qi flows through the whole body, the next step is to strengthen the bones.

The level of having Qi flowing through the whole body and having Qi strengthening one's bones is the level of a general flag. Of the two general flags in the Hundred Households Office, Zhang Shan is older and had reached the level of having Qi strengthening one's bones seven or eight years ago. Wang Li is relatively younger and is said to be just a little bit away from having Qi strengthening one's bones.

"What is above the strong bones?" After many years in the Hundred Households Office, no one knew the realm of the Hundred Households. At least, during the years when I was a strongman, I never saw the Hundred Households take action.

Or rather, he was not qualified to see it.

A strong man, at the lowest level among the hundred households.

When following the main force into battle, at most they would play a supporting role, busying themselves with logistics, unless the 100 lieutenants suffered too much damage and had to be replaced by strong men.

It’s just that, if those bandits around Songlin County had some skills, they would have made it big long ago. Why would they become bandits?

[May I ask if I can advance the payment for "Tong Xuan Jue" (minor success)? ]

【Result: The "Tong Xuan Jue" is fully accomplished, and the Qi flows through the whole body. 】

【Reason: Practicing the "Tong Xuan Jue" three thousand times.】

【whether? 】

Three thousand times?
About three months at best!
"Yes."

The spiritual energy in Dantian suddenly increased by more than five times. Then, it quickly flowed out of Dantian and madly wandered through the muscles of the body. Every time it wandered to a place, the muscles would inevitably have a heart-wrenching pain sweeping through the mind.

Fortunately, he is a person who has experienced countless copies and has great resistance to pain.

Once, twice, three times.
Six hundred and thirty-nine times, it finally stopped.

The spiritual energy that was flowing through the muscles of the whole body returned to the dantian and calmed down again.

【Number of advance payments available: 0. 】

[Repaying: "Tong Xuan Jue" - 0/3000. 】

Three thousand times!
Next time, are we going to do it ten thousand times?

As he was daydreaming, the residual pain dissipated, his perception gradually returned to normal, and he immediately felt sticky all over.

"Ok?"

I got up from the bed, my whole body was wet, especially the bedding, which was wet. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't painful enough to make me pee, I was just sweating.

He walked to the mirror and found that he looked bigger. He stretched out his hand and pinched the muscles on his arm, which were hard.

"The muscles of the whole body are strengthened by the spiritual energy?"

It turns out that this is the energy flowing through the whole body.

Apart from anything else, if he fought with the escort who committed the bloody crime again, he would just stand there and let the other party stab him with a dagger, even if the dagger was attached with spiritual energy, he would still not dodge.

If the escort can pierce his muscles, he will be rewarded with a coin!

Then he began to practice in the study, which was larger than his bedroom.

A quarter of an hour later, sitting on a chair.

"Strength, endurance, speed, reaction, hearing, vision, all aspects have skyrocketed several times."

Even without using spiritual energy to strengthen his swordsmanship and physical body, his current physical body alone is enough to crush those who practice Qi into their bodies.

No wonder he can be the general flag. He can fight one against a hundred people alone. There is no one at a higher level to intervene in the battle. And before his physical strength is exhausted, he is completely a human killing machine.

"Can a crossbow really break my defense?"

What is certain is that the Flying Kite Crossbow cannot break his defense. Crossbow arrows? The crossbow arrows of the Hundred Households Office are definitely more powerful than the Flying Kite Crossbow. The Flying Kite Crossbow sacrifices most of its power for concealment, and its power cannot be compared with the crossbow arrows in each small flag.

"but."

In the past twenty days or so, he had played with crossbows. With his current body, it seemed that he could only break through the defense, and the arrowhead would get stuck in the muscles and could not go in.

"There's definitely something wrong!"

He would try to find out more about it tomorrow. The most urgent thing was to take a shower to get rid of the odor. He was stinking from sweat, which made his sensitive nose uncomfortable.

After a long time, everything was new.

"Comfortable."

You know what, taking a bath is really nice.

If it was a lieutenant, would he tell his colleagues that he wanted to take a shower while on patrol?

Believe it or not, I’ll beat you!
Why not have some side dishes and a couple of drinks?

"Keep paying your debts."

Almost an hour had passed since the advance payment for future efforts.

As the sky gradually brightened, he got up from the bed, put on his armor, and waited for his subordinates to return. The captains on night patrol had relatively more freedom than during the day, after all, most of their superiors were lying in bed.

So, after patrolling the route of your team, you can return to the Baihu Office to take a short break, go to the toilet, drink some water, etc. After all, the lieutenants are also human beings, you can't ask them to patrol for twelve hours without interruption, really like robots.

While waiting for someone, he read the "Advance Future System".

[Repaying: "Tong Xuan Jue" - 13/3000. 】

Six and a half hours, thirteen times of "Tong Xuan Jue".

"Thirty-four times a day, it will take eighty-eight days, three months, to pay off the debt." Holidays are not included during this period.

"Three months later, I will strengthen my bones and muscles."

By then, he would be able to protect himself in Songlin County. In a county with a population of more than 300,000, as far as he knew, the top combat power, people at the same level as a hundred households, were only a handful.

Among them, the Black Tiger Gang has the largest number of people, with five gang leaders and elders in total!
The rest were the second and third ranked gangs. The second ranked gang had two new and old gang leaders, while the third ranked gang had only one leader. Including the county lieutenant, the second in command of the county government, and the captain of the centurion's office, there were exactly ten people.

Of course, He Sheng didn't believe that there were no good people under the local gentry. It's just that those people like to hide whatever they do.

"No matter what, I'll just be a small flag bearer. I'll destroy the IOU when I'm promoted to the same level as a centurion, hehe."

That’s right, I will need to borrow more money in the future. It’s great to use other people’s money to do my own business!
