The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 12 Changes
"After so much effort and sweat, we are finally on the right track."

Su Mu exhaled slowly.

When I called up the panel again, I saw that the content on the panel had changed quietly.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Hunter (white body)]

【Points: 0】

[Martial arts: Fubo swordsmanship (minor success), archery (entry level)]

The points have been reset to zero, and instead, the Fu Bo swordsmanship has entered a minor success realm.

A small success in swordsmanship may not be worth mentioning to a truly strong person.

But for Su Mu, he went from being a gangster to where he is today, and he had to endure countless hardships and shed a lot of sweat.

His slight improvement in swordsmanship meant that he had taken a big step forward on the right path.

His minor success in swordsmanship meant that he could join Nanchengsi as an officer at any time.

His swordsmanship had improved a little, which meant that he could now earn a living as a security guard for a wealthy family.

"The next step is to master the swordsmanship. Only when you master the swordsmanship can you be considered a figure in South City, and you can even be a leader as a guard."

Su Mu said to himself, "The revolution has not yet succeeded, we must continue to work hard."

He focused his thoughts on the Fu Bo sword technique, and a hint appeared in his mind.

To master the swordsmanship, three hundred points are required.

"It's not bad, less than I expected."

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. With his current identity and occupation, it would only take him 150 days to accumulate three hundred points.

"Would you like to try being a police officer?"

Su Mu thought to himself, "With my current swordsmanship, it shouldn't be a problem for me to pass the Nancheng Division's selection. If I become a police officer, my points should increase even faster."

After thinking it over, Su Mu didn't sleep well all night. He got up at dawn the next day and walked towards Nanchengsi.

Just when Su Mu arrived outside the Nanchengsi, he happened to meet a large group of officers in black robes walking into the Nanchengsi government office in a panic.

Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He arrived late and only saw that the last few officers who entered the Nanchengsi Yamen seemed to have blood on their bodies.

"Man, what happened?"

Su Mu moved closer to the crowd watching the fun, picked a man who looked easy to talk to, and asked with a smile.

"Hey, Nanchengsi went out of the city to suppress bandits, and lost."

The man chuckled, looking as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

"They usually show off their might, but now they have come to this?"

"Who says they are not? They can only bully ordinary people like us. If they run into those vicious bandits, won't they be beaten to a pulp?"

Another man next to him also whispered.

Su Mu's heart moved, and he first thought of what Liu Feng had said before about the Nancheng Division recruiting officials.

Could it be that they sent the newly recruited officers out of the city to suppress the bandits?

Isn't this just asking people to die?
Su Mu seemed to understand something in his heart, and his original idea of ​​enlisting in the military service was immediately questioned.

It would be fine if the constables and police officers had a bad reputation.

But if it is so dangerous, Su Mu will have to think carefully about it.

Thinking in his mind, Su Mu turned and walked towards Liu Hai's house.

Liu Feng just joined the Nancheng Division not long ago, and it is unknown how much he knows.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley where the Liu family lived, Su Mu knew that there was no need to go to Liu Feng to inquire about the news.

Because he had heard the howling coming from the Liu family.

A group of neighbors gathered outside the Liu family's door, talking about something.

Su Mu only listened for a moment and already knew what had happened.

Liu Feng was sent back by people from Nancheng Division early this morning.

What was sent back was a dead body. "The Liu family kid is still good. I heard that the kid from Zheng Tu's family in Pingkangfang didn't even bring back a body."

The sound of discussion drifted into his ears, and Su Mu felt a chill all over his body.

When Liu Feng came to invite him to participate in the Nancheng Division selection that day, he was actually a little tempted.

If he had followed Liu Feng at that time, would he have become a corpse like Liu Feng now?
The water in the yamen is too deep. I have only mastered the swordsmanship to a certain extent. If I step in rashly, I am afraid that I won't even be able to make a small splash.

"Being a runner is too dangerous. I'd better just be a hunter. I'll consider upgrading my status after I perfect my sword skills."

Su Mu thought to himself as he walked out.

"Although the upper limit of the hunter is limited, I think we can continue to explore it."

…………

The loss of Nancheng Division's troops and generals was like the end of the world to some families, but to most people in Nancheng, it was just a topic of conversation after dinner.

They continue to live their lives as usual.

Su Mu gave up the idea of ​​being a laborer and continued to rush towards becoming the best hunter.

One day, Su Mu was walking out of the city early in the morning with a bow and arrow on his back, when he was suddenly stopped by Sun Dazhao.

"Xiao Su, there's a good job here, would you like to take it?"

Sun Dazhao spoke with his signature smile on his face.

"Thank you for your care, Grandpa Sun."

Su Mu cupped his hands and said, "It's just that I only know how to hunt, and I don't know how to do anything else..."

"They are looking for hunters."

Sun Dazhao said with a smile, "Captain Xing of our Nancheng Division wants to find a few hunters to do some small tasks. After the task is completed, there will be a reward of 20 taels of silver.

This is much better than hunting, do you want to do it? "

For an ordinary hunter, he would be considered lucky if he could earn one or two hundred coins a day from hunting.

It is not common to encounter such a good opportunity as Su Mu making three or two taels of money at once, as happened last time, only once every few months.

Twenty taels of silver is almost equivalent to a hunter's harvest in two or three years.

But Su Mu did not agree immediately.

He keenly captured a message.

Captain Xing from the South City Division!
Although he did not know this Chief Constable Xing, there was only one Chief Constable Xing in the entire Nancheng Division, and he was one of the top five big shots in the Nancheng Division.

The most important thing is that all the constables and runners in Nanchengsi are under his jurisdiction.

Previously, they were recruiting a lot of policemen, and now they are looking for hunters...

Su Mu instinctively felt that danger was approaching.

"Master Sun, it's not that I don't give you face, but I accidentally injured my leg yesterday. If I go to work for Captain Xing, I'm afraid it will ruin Captain Xing's plan."

Su Mu declined politely.

"Injured your leg?"

Sun Dazhao did not doubt Su Mu's words. After all, it was a good opportunity to earn twenty taels of silver, and other hunters were all scrambling to get it.

That is to say, Sun Dazhao thought that Su Mu was of good level and was respectful to him on weekdays, so he thought of Su Mu.

In Sun Dazhao's opinion, Su Mu had no reason to refuse.

"That's a pity. Good things like this are hard to come by. If you can earn these twenty taels, then your wish to buy a house in Wuling City will come true."

Sun Dazhao said with regret, "What a pity."

"Who says it isn't?"

Su Mu also pretended to be annoyed, "It's all my fault."

Seeing Sun Dazhao's shaking back disappearing around the corner, the smile on Su Mu's face faded, replaced by a solemn look.

Although he didn't know what had happened to Nancheng Si, he now had a strong sense of crisis.

"He has already targeted the hunters. I am one of the best hunters in South City. I was able to dodge it this time, but I may not be able to do so next time."

Su Mu thought to himself, "I didn't expect that even if I didn't participate in the selection of the police, I couldn't avoid this unforeseen disaster. It's too difficult for a small person to control his own destiny. I must practice my sword skills to perfection as soon as possible!"
