I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 61: Training, fighting and killing, all four methods are ready

The crowd dispersed, and the only people left in the yard besides a few porters were Xie Yuan, Qin Hai, Zhao Xingyang who had just returned, and Lu Zhenyu.

Lu Zhenyu walked up to Zhao Xingyang and his expression became serious:
"Although the chief escort didn't object, I still think it's inappropriate for you to buy them the skills in advance. The chief escort established the rules for exchanging merits and then developed the escort agency to what it is today. There is a reason for that."

Zhao Xingyang laughed:
"I didn't ask the chief escort to abolish this rule. It's just that I teach my own escort team according to their abilities and adapt to circumstances."

Lu Zhenyu frowned:
"How can the rules be changed just because of you? Moreover, if the foundation is not well laid, you are forcing the issue by giving them advanced skills in advance."

"How is this forcing the issue? Xiao Xie is doing well without practicing."

Zhao Xingyang patted Xie Yuan's shoulder.

Lu Zhenyu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"He is indeed good, but that doesn't mean everyone is like him. You were not here this time. It was all thanks to him. It was just your luck."

"Who said it was luck? I calculated with my fingers at that time and knew that this guy had good talent and could be trained like this."

Zhao Xingyang was calm and composed, waving his hands:

"Captain Lu, neither of us can convince the other, so let's just leave it at that."

Hearing him say this, Lu Zhenyu shook his head and strode away.

"Let's all go back and rest! Xiao Xie, Brother Hai, follow me."

Zhao Xingyang waved his hand, and the two followed him to the escort leader's private courtyard.

Xie Yuan and Qin Hai walked behind and whispered:
"Boss Lu is not what I imagined."

"What do you think it is like?"

"I thought... they would be more difficult for people, especially those under Boss Zhao."

"Haha, maybe I made you misunderstand? Lu Biaotou couldn't stand Zhao Tou'er's style of doing things, and for some reasons you understand, he was stricter with us.

"But he always follows the rules and puts the protection of the escort agency first. He is upright and will never do anything mean."

Xie Yuan nodded slowly.

It seems that not everyone is fighting to the death.

After entering Zhao Xingyang's own courtyard, he sat down on the steps in front of the corridor and called out:

"Xiao Xie, it's time for the exam! I want to see how powerful your Wolf Blade Technique is. Why are you making such a big fuss?"

"Zhao Tou'er, why don't you take a rest first?"

Xie Yuan looked at the injuries on his body, hesitated, and said.

"Want to postpone the exam? No way! Hurry up, it's only a short while, I can bear it and it will pass."

Zhao Xingyang laughed.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan had no choice but to draw his knife.

After so many rounds of competition, Xie Yuan was actually quite tired.

But his swordsmanship had reached a certain level of perfection, and he could still perform his moves even when he had little strength left.

Watching Xie Yuan wielding his sword in the courtyard, the wind from the sword whistling, Zhao Xingyang watched quietly, while Qin Hai sighed:

"He's really only a little bit better. I've been practicing for so long, but I'm still not fully accomplished yet, and I'm just a little bit more skilled than him. This kid the boss picked up is a monster."

Xie Yuan practiced it from beginning to end, and applause came from the side.

"it is good!"

Zhao Xingyang clapped his hands vigorously, with a look of approval on his face.

"Except for the first and third moves which are a little bit lacking, the rest are perfect!"

He immediately and enthusiastically pointed out the shortcomings and improvements to Xie Yuan, and Xie Yuan and Qin Hai nodded repeatedly.

At last, Zhao Xingyang smiled:

"You have achieved minor success in seven days. You are much faster than I was at the beginning. Xie Yuan, your talent is better than I thought. Our escort agency has found a treasure this time."

In comparison, Xie Yuan's previous breakthrough to become a warrior did not shock him that much.

"In that case, you should prepare to go out in a few days. Well, the chief escort leader has told you to pay off your credits as soon as possible, so you have to work hard. Haha, once you pay off your debts, you can try a new method. With your comprehension, you should learn more and practice more. Then I'll see how fast you can be."

Zhao Xingyang waved his hand and went into the house to rest.

Xie Yuan said goodbye to Qin Hai and went back to his own cabin.

Along the way, some people looked at Xie Yuan with strange eyes, and some even took the initiative to greet him.

In the escort agency and martial arts school, strength is everything. After a competition, Xie Yuan is no longer an unknown newcomer.

Back in the room, Xie Yuan relaxed, lying on the bed, reviewing several sparring matches.

I have made some progress in knife skills, but before reviewing the skills again, I have different opinions.

"If that had happened..."

As he gestured, his eyelids drooped and he gradually fell asleep.

……

Three days later. Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door.

"Xie Yuan! Are you ready? Let's go!"

Xie Yuan shouted outside:
"coming!"

He tied his trousers tightly around his waist, fastened his boots, checked once more, and looked in the bronze mirror.

A handsome young man in tight clothes came into view.

Xie Yuan nodded slightly and narrowed his eyes.

[Chopping wood: (4396/10000)]

[Iron Shirt: Level 369: (2000/)]

[Health-preserving Exercises·Second Level: (1876/2000)]

[Iron Armor Long Fist·Great Mastery: (121/500)]

[Running Wolf Sword Art: Minor Achievement: (117/1000)]

We are almost halfway through chopping wood...take your time.

Iron Shirt is still the only training method. It is not sophisticated but practical. Although Xie Yuan has been practicing swordsmanship diligently recently, he has not neglected this basic method.

And the health-preserving skill, the internal skill that made Xie Yuan different from the martial artists around him, was finally close to another breakthrough!
Internal strength is the greatest basis of Xie Yuan's strength. It is the fundamental reason why his combat capability exceeds that of his peers. It affects every aspect of his martial arts practice. If he can break through again, the improvement to him will be self-evident!

"When I come back this time, I will take a vacation and practice meditation for a while. I will first break through my health-preserving skills!"

Xie Yuan nodded secretly and looked down again.

He only practices the Iron Armor Long Fist occasionally, as a close combat method in case the knife is thrown; and the Running Wolf Sword Technique is his main fighting style at present. Relying on his small-level C sword technique, ordinary opponents are no match for him.

"Add the three axes, and from this point of view, I have all four methods of training, fighting and killing. I am not weak at all. I can be considered an all-round warrior."

Xie Yuan thought.

I'm afraid that in Yunzhao, there is no warrior who has such complete skills as him. He has mastered all the skills just by his cultivation method.

With this preparation, you can go outside and take a look.

When he arrived at the yard, the team was already waiting for him.

A carriage, three other people, two escorts and a porter, were all ready.

"Sorry, I just checked again. Sorry for the long wait."

"It's okay, it's all the same when you go on your first mission."

The escort Tang Dawei said with a smile.

"Well, do I need to call for help when I go out?"

Xie Yuan was not familiar with the routine yet, so he couldn't help asking.

The porter Kong Chun waved his hands repeatedly:
"It's the big escort team led by the escort leader who needs to shout. The four of us are escorting a small escort and we just need to go quietly."

Xie Yuan said, "Oh!", so that's it.

He didn't quite understand many things, but he also knew that the size of the escort team was determined by two factors.

One is the danger level of the route, and the other is the value of the dart.

There were only four people on this escort mission, including him, a complete newcomer, so one can imagine how difficult it was, so the other three seemed relaxed.

However, the experienced and prudent escort Wu Qing still said:

"From here to Jinshan County in the west, there is a section of mountain road that is rarely traveled and has dense forests. In the past, there have been people robbing on the road, so we need to be careful."

"Yes!"

"okay."

"Okay, now that we're ready, let's go."

Xie Yuan followed the carriage, refreshed, and stepped out of the escort agency's door.

There is a mountain peak a few dozen miles west of Yunzhao.

The two burly men, wearing animal-skin vests and with full beards, fit the stereotype of robbers very well. They were the strong men who occupied this mountain road and cleared the way.

However, at this moment, the two of them were trembling with fear, looking at the young man in front of them, with a look of panic on their faces, and said in a trembling voice:
"Master Xiao Bao, we brothers are doing a small business here, and we have never offended you, Bao Shan! You asked us to stop the escort team of Longteng Escort Agency, this, this is just courting death!"

"You can choose whether to die now or do what I tell you to do. "

The young man with a bloody scar on his face asked viciously.

The two wanted to say no, but looking at a companion lying at the feet of the young man, they swallowed and said with difficulty:
"You tell me what to do."

"Very good. Listen carefully. I have checked. The escort team on this line will not have too many people. Most of them are led by junior escorts. They are no match for me.

"When the time comes, you block the road and I will hide nearby. When they get close, I will kill them with one strike. When I'm done, I will cut off their heads and throw them into Yunzhao County."

The young man spit and said in a hoarse voice:
"Longteng Escort Agency destroyed my stronghold and killed my brothers. I want them to pay with blood."
