The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 17 Gift of Knife (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
Su Mu is a complete novice who knows almost nothing about martial arts training.

When he practiced the Fu Bo sword technique, he was just crossing the river by feeling the stones alone, and no one ever gave him any guidance.

Last night he had a fight with the third in command of the Black Dragon Village, and he discovered that the other party's strength was far beyond that of ordinary people. Perhaps it was related to this body tempering method.

"Body Tempering Method... Well, you must have never known about it."

Sun Dazhao said, "The warrior master we usually refer to is someone who has entered the realm of body tempering, the four stages of body tempering: skin, flesh, tendons, and bones.

Body quenching is just a general term. Quenching the skin, quenching the flesh, quenching the tendons, quenching the bones are all body quenching methods."

"Among the four outer cities of Wuling City, there are only a handful of forces that can teach the Body Tempering Method, and our Hunter Gang is one of them."

Sun Dazhao said with some pride, "How about it? Do you want to join the hunting gang?
With your hunting skills and my help, I am sure you can learn the body tempering method.

If you were to change to another force, you would have to serve for at least four or five years before you could learn the Body Tempering Technique. "

Su Mu's heart moved slightly.

The police route is not easy to take, do you want to change the route?
However, there seems to be no future in joining a gang. Even the leader of the Hunter Gang is a commoner.

Just when Su Mu was hesitating, there was a sudden and hurried knock on the door.

Sun Dazhao winked at Su Mu, then walked to the door and opened it.

"Master, why are you here?"

Sun Dazhao showed his signature smile on his face and said with a slightly bent body.

"A new mission. There is a hunter named Su Mu. Captain Xing has mentioned his name. Find him and send him to the South City Division."

The hall master did not enter the room, but directly ordered outside the door, "I remember he is under your jurisdiction, go find him."

After saying this, the hall master left in a hurry.

The smile on Sun Dazhao's face gradually stiffened. He slowly turned around and his gaze fell on Su Mu, with helplessness emerging in his eyes.

"Or, you can run away secretly before anyone knows."

Sun Dazhao showed a look of struggle on his face and spoke hesitantly.

"I ran away, what should you do?"

Su Mu said with some surprise.

"What can I do if you run away? It's not a big crime to not be able to find you."

Sun Dazhao said.

"Grandpa Sun, I appreciate your kindness."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "But I can't run."

It was not easy to change my household registration to Wuling City. If I run away, I will become a refugee again.

"You kid——"

Sun Dazhao was a little anxious, "Do you know the consequences of staying?

Nanchengsi will definitely order you to attack Black Dragon Village. Do you think attacking Black Dragon Village is like hunting?
It will kill people! "

"I know."

Su Mu sighed and said, "But if I run away, Nanchengsi will not let me go. Rather than becoming a wanted criminal, I might as well stay and give it a try. What if?"

"How many people are betting on a one in a million chance, and how many of them win?"

Sun Dazhao said.

Su Mu smiled and said nothing.

Sun Dazhao stared at Su Mu, and after a long while, he waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it. You are just as stubborn as I was when I was young. Young man, you won't turn back until you get your head broken and bloody."

Sun Dazhao said unhappily.

"I had no choice."

Su Mu said, and bowed to Sun Dazhao, "No matter what, thank you for what happened today, Master Sun. If I can come back alive..."

"Bah! Bah!"

Sun Dazhao pouted twice, "Don't say such nonsense, you don't have to thank me, I helped you, but it was for my own good.

If you can climb to a high position, you can also promote and take care of me."

Su Mu knew it, but no matter what Sun Dazhao's purpose was, at least his good intentions were real.

"Forget it, there's no point saying anything now."

Sun Dazhao waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Su Mu bowed and walked out.

He had just walked to the door when he suddenly heard Sun Dazhao calling from behind.

"and many more!"

Su Mu stopped and looked back with a puzzled expression.

Sun Dazhao walked quickly into the house, and came out again after a moment, holding a long sword with a sheath in his hand.

"This knife is what I used when I was young. Although it's not a magical weapon that can cut iron like mud, I spent a lot of money to buy it back then." Sun Dazhao came to Su Mu and looked at the knife in his hand reluctantly, "I give it to you."

"this--"

Su Mu's face was full of surprise.

After Su Mu practiced swordplay, he also wanted to buy a sword to use.

But after asking about the price, he gave up immediately.

Anyway, a hatchet will do.

A slightly better knife would cost more than ten taels of silver, and even the worst one would cost seven or eight taels of silver.

His current financial resources are not enough to use a knife.

Su Mu didn't expect that Sun Dazhao would actually give him a knife.

To be honest, although Sun Dazhao always greets people with a smile, the two of them did not have a very deep friendship.

It was already unexpected that Sun Dazhao could help him today, and now he even wants to give him a knife.

If Su Mu didn't know that there was nothing about him that was worth coveting, he would really suspect that he had ulterior motives.

"Grandpa Sun, this is too precious——"

Su Mu was very excited and said hesitantly.

"Take it."

Sun Dazhao said, "It's useless to keep it in my hand anyway. You are going to attack Black Dragon Village, and this knife is better than your hatchet."

He stuffed the knife into Su Mu's arms, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, turned around and walked into the house.

As he walked, he waved to Su Mu with his back to him.

"Stop dithering like a woman and get out of here."

boom!
The door is closed.

Su Mu's expression was a little complicated. He silently hung the knife on his waist, bowed to the room, then turned and walked out.

The sword is ready, and when you go out, you will enter the world of martial arts.

…………

"Su Mu, right? I heard that you are the best hunter in South City?"

In the South City Division, Captain Xing sat behind the desk, looked at Su Mu, and spoke slowly.

His body was covered in bandages and he looked a little tired, but his eyes were like an eagle's, sharp and vicious.

After Su Mu left Sun Dazhao's residence, he went straight to Nanchengsi.

Since there was no way to avoid it, he decided to face it head on.

After giving his name, he was brought directly to Xing Zhaofu.

How could Su Mu not understand at this time?

This matter from last night has not been resolved yet. Xing Zhaofu still doesn't want to let me go.

"Yes."

Su Mu looked at Xing Zhaofu and spoke slowly.

His answer made Xing Zhaofu slightly stunned and feel a little surprised.

Why does the timid peasant last night seem like a different person today?

I actually felt in him some of the confidence and edge that only the children of the inner city had.

It must be my illusion!

Xing Zhaofu shook his head, thinking that he was probably injured too badly and was a little dazed.

"The tone is not small."

Xing Zhaofu said coldly, "Do you know what will happen if you lie to me?"

"I don't know what adults mean by lying."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "I only know that I am indeed the best hunter in South City. I have never seen anyone with better skills than me."

"Are you getting more excited as you talk?"

Xing Zhaofu sneered twice and said, "Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. If you are really the best hunter in South City, this captain will reward you handsomely. If not--"

"If not, I'll leave it to you, my Lord."

Su Mu said.

"But if I can prove that I am the best hunter in South City, then I have a request, and I hope Your Excellency can agree to it."

"Negotiate terms with this captain?"

Xing Zhaofu's face turned cold, "If I were to follow my usual temper, I would have had you beaten to death by now.

However, now is the time when the South City Division is in need of people, so I will forgive your disrespect. Tell me, what do you want?"

　Tuesday, I'm looking for a follow-up read. I beg everyone to move their fingers and click a little. Follow-up reads are related to whether this book can be tested and promoted. Today is the third update. Thank you~
