I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 84 A rich harvest and great swordsmanship!
The guards and Xie Yuan bowed and saluted one by one, and Xie Yuan returned the salutes one by one and watched them leave.

When all the people and horses had dispersed, Xie Yuan rode north and returned to Yunzhao County.

Speaking of which, he still doesn't know what Situ Qin's family does or how powerful they are.

But these sudden black-clad killers, and Tiber who finally arrived like the wind, added to the mystery of the girl.

"Such a powerful rich woman, the things she gives shouldn't be bad, right?"

Xie Yuan thought silently.

Can this martial art, which can be used as a trump card in the escort agency, be of Grade A or even above?

The Wolf Sword Technique of the C grade is already very useful, and the A grade one is really going to take off.

As for returns, not taking the initiative is one thing, but if others insist on giving, it would be disrespectful to refuse.

Anyway, according to what the girl said, we should meet again in the future, right?
Xie Yuan thought of Situ Qin's perfect little face and her joking words, and his heart was inevitably moved, then he shook his head.

When someone else makes a move, you want to use your big move? You will be caught as a black bass.

Never mind, no matter if it is one of the three greatest illusions in life, given the current gap in status and strength between the two, plus the intricacies within the big family, it is better not to get involved, otherwise there may be disaster.

If one wants to gain a foothold in this world, martial arts comes first. Women will only interfere with the speed of his practice... No, cross this sentence out, except for rich women, who will also give him martial arts techniques and weapons.

Xie Yuan was in high spirits for a moment, and rode his horse back to Yunzhao.

After a night's rest, Xie Yuan wanted to report to Zhao Xingyang first, but the escort leader was busy and had already gone out to escort the goods.

He went to report first. The clerk checked Situ Qin's confirmation letter again and again, and then ran to find the person in charge. The person in charge ran to find the escort leader, and finally found the only escort leader Xu Mo who was on duty in the escort agency.

Xu Mo, the escort leader, was of medium build, with a square face, over 40 years old, with gray hair, and looked a little tired. However, he was a peaceful person and had always been popular in the escort agency.

He took the confirmation letter and read it two or three times before saying in surprise:
"Xiao Xie, according to this description, this is related to the third training. You have made great contributions and have been awarded a second-class merit!"

Xu Mo thought about it for a moment, then nodded and made a decision:

"Although the chief escort is not here, this matter is set in stone, so let's make it so. Second-class merit, you are still a junior escort now... Wait, I haven't reacted yet, you are already a second-level trainee?!"

Xu Mo was distracted for a moment before he sighed:

"I really don't know where Zhao Xingyang picked you up. The young people nowadays are more amazing than each other!"

He shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

"You can be promoted to a senior escort, but you must consult the chief escort and wait for his approval. As for the rest, I agree to issue the merits and rewards."

Xu Mo stamped his seal, and the person in charge of the mission room personally took out the reward money for Xie Yuan and recorded the second-class merit.

Xie Yuan was also slightly distracted as he held the heavy one hundred taels of silver.

As expected, the platform determines the difficulty of making money. He still remembers working hard just for ten taels of silver.

However, now, each mission earns one hundred taels of profit.

Although this mission has a bonus from the rich woman, the conclusion remains the same.

However, Xie Yuan's horizons are now broadening, and he cares more about things related to martial arts. He is no longer excited about gold and silver alone. He just thinks that he has too much money, so how should he spend it?

Also like other bodyguards, build a house?

Xie Yuan thought about it and decided to give up. The housing prices in Yunzhao County were quite expensive, and one hundred taels of silver couldn't buy a very good house.

Besides, he is alone and there is no need for him to buy a house, not to mention that the housing prices here are still falling.

It is better to convert it into strength.

Xie Yuan touched his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that his sword and axe were all broken in this battle. In the fierce battle, if the sword and axe were not broken, Xie Yuan had to keep picking up and changing swords. In fact, there were more choices, and several minor injuries on his body could have been avoided. This time it was a fluke, but it might not be the case next time.

The axe can be sent by Situ Qin, as well as the axe skills, but the big axe is not necessarily suitable for all occasions, so a long sword is still very necessary.

The standard long swords issued by the escort agency were no longer sufficient. After thinking about it, Xie Yuan got up and went to the blacksmith shop next door, picked and chose, and bought a ready-made Baosteel knife.

He spent sixty-six taels of silver, which meant good luck, and it wiped out most of his savings, leaving him with no sense of wealth anymore.

However, this long sword had a sharp arc and a cold light, like autumn water. It was obviously a deadly weapon. Xie Yuan was very satisfied with it and didn't care about the price. He simply threw the rotten tiger bone axe there and spent ten taels of silver to make a steel blade.

Although it might not be needed in future battles, the firewood still needs to be chopped. The tiger bone is almost covered with patina and is very easy to use.

Suddenly, there were only more than twenty taels left. Xie Yuan couldn't even afford a big meal to reward himself, so he saved some money for medicine, medicinal baths, and other expenses.

As for the second-class merit, Xie Yuan thought about it and decided to keep it for the time being.

The best use of this second-class merit is actually to change to a higher-level training method;

But Xie Yuan always had hope for the Iron Shirt, even though his training had stagnated recently.

Let's wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is only a few days away. Then I'll go find Master Liu and see if I can borrow the secret book to read. If I'm really lucky, wouldn't it be better to save the second-class merits and do more things?

If that doesn't work, try another method of practice.

Half a day passed, and this mission had yielded great results. Everyone had a destination. When the axe and axe skills arrived, Xie Yuan's strength would be greatly enhanced.

It would be great if I could meet a noble person in every mission, especially one so pleasing to the eye.

With the new weapon in hand, Xie Yuan liked it more and more. It happened that he had gained some insights into sword techniques in this battle, so he wielded it all day long, both to familiarize himself with the weapon and to practice sword techniques.

A few days later, there was a breakthrough in this Grade C sword technique.

【Running Wolf Sword Technique·Great Mastery: (1/2000)】

"The Wolf-Running Sword Technique is like a wolf pouncing on its target, swift and fierce. A minor skill is like a wolf king hunting, and a major skill is like a pack of wolves charging forward, rolling in, unstoppable!"

Xie Yuan suddenly understood something in his mind, and slashed with his sword, tearing the air in the yard in half, making an extremely shrill sound of breaking wind, followed by a gust of howling wind.

It was like a thousand wolves suddenly attacking, with incredible speed and ferocity, and its momentum was frightening.

Xie Yuan put away his knife with satisfaction.

Many people in the Escort Agency were practicing the Wolf Sword Technique, but there were probably only a few who could master it. And there was probably no one who could master it as quickly as he did.

In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month arrived.

Xie Yuan packed up, put the brand new tiger bone axe on his waist, hung up his long sword, and rode away to Panlong Town.

But as soon as I arrived outside Panlong Town, I found that it was so crowded that I couldn't even ride my horse in. I had no choice but to leave my horse outside and squeeze into the town through the crowd like a fish.

So many people obviously came to watch the rare martial arts competition among the three families in Panlong Town, which is closely related to the situation of the entire town.

Ordinary people don’t have much entertainment, so this kind of public competition must not be missed.

Xie Yuan was looking forward to it. Since the stage had been set up and the audience was in place, Master Liu should be there, right?
If he really ran away, the news should have leaked out, so it wouldn't be such a big deal, right?

Xie Yuan felt a little nervous. He saw disciples lighting firecrackers at the gate of Tieyimen Martial Arts School among the crowd.

With a crackling sound, the door opened and Monk Liu, wearing a purple training suit and with a serious expression, walked out in the smoke of firecrackers.

Xie Yuan was cheered up, as expected he came!
