The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 23 Dacheng (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly recommendation)
"It's done!"

Su Mu calmly returned to the courtyard he rented. After closing the door, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Half of a body leaned out of the room. Who else could it be but Yang Jin?

"call!"

Yang Jin also breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, before leaving the city, Xing Zhaofu will definitely not dare to target you again.

But when we attack Black Dragon Village, he will definitely try every means to make you die outside the city."

"The attack on Black Dragon Village is scheduled for one month later."

Su Mu said, "Xing Zhaofu needs to recruit new people and go out of the city to suppress the bandits in a month."

After a month, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh.

After all, one month is still too short. Even if his current identity and occupation can earn him at least 10 points every day, that's only points a month.

The best you can do is to practice the Fu Bo sword technique to perfection.

It sounds good, but he is definitely no match for Xing Zhaofu who is at the second level of Body Tempering.

Unfortunately, he had just tried to ask Sima He Yuxing to exempt him from the task of going out of the city to suppress bandits, but was directly rejected by He Yuxing.

He Yuxing also painted a big rosy picture for him, promising that if he could make contributions in the attack on Black Dragon Village, he would be promoted to the position of captain of the police.

Su Mu just thought he was talking nonsense.

"Yang Jin, didn't you learn the Body Tempering Method when you were in the army?"

Su Mu asked thoughtfully.

"Learned."

Yang Jin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "But my aptitude is not good enough, I haven't even reached the first stage of body tempering.

I can’t teach you this body-tempering method.”

"rule?"

"Military skills cannot be passed on to outsiders."

Yang Jin nodded and said, "Besides, the military's body-hardening methods are somewhat overbearing and extremely harmful to the body. If there is no other way, I do not recommend you to practice the military's body-hardening methods."

…………

Since killing the pink wolf Du Qian, Su Mu's life has returned to its previous peace.

Xing Zhaofu was busy preparing his troops, and perhaps also because of the intimidation from Sima He Yuxing, in any case he did not cause trouble for Su Mu.

No one knew what Yang Jin was busy with, and he had disappeared since that day.

Su Mu was also happy with the peace and quiet. He would report for duty and patrol the streets every day in a low-key manner, fulfilling his duties as a constable diligently.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed.

Su Mu sat cross-legged in the room, his eyes sparkling.

After midnight, the content on the panel changes quietly.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Constable (officer)]

【Points: 300】

[Martial Arts: Fubo Sword Skills (Minor Success/+), Archery (Beginner/+)]

Finally, the points are accumulated!

A “+” sign appeared after both Fu Bo Sword Skills and Archery Skills.

He had waited too long for this day.

In fact, he has already mastered the Fu Bo sword technique to a certain extent. Even without a system, as long as he has enough time, he can slowly practice it to perfection.

That would certainly save some points, but Su Mu didn't intend to do that.

If he wanted to practice hard and master the Fu Bo Sword Technique to perfection, it would take at least several years, and he didn't have that much time.

The Fu Bo sword technique, which was only at the minor success stage, was not enough to deal with the crisis he was facing.

"Fu Bo Sword Technique, add some points!"

Su Mu murmured in his heart without any hesitation.

In an instant, all three hundred points were used up.

Countless experiences suddenly appeared in Su Mu's mind.

It was as if the forgotten experience of training hard in the coldest days of summer and the hottest days of winter had resurfaced in memory.

It was like a personal experience. He practiced hard every day. When the sun rose, he practiced. When the sun set, he practiced. When it rained, he practiced. When it snowed, he still practiced. The cold and the hot, the years passed in a blink of an eye.

When Su Mu opened his eyes again, his whole body was soaked with sweat.

The sky outside the window was already turning pale.

It turned out that a whole night had already passed.

When Su Mu once again grasped the long sword given by Sun Dazhao, a feeling arose spontaneously.

The knife seemed to have become an extension of the arm, and it could be used at will.

The thirteen styles of Fu Bo sword techniques, as well as various variations of the moves, flowed through his mind like water.

He had mastered all the moves, and now when he performed the Fu Bo Sword Technique, he was no longer restricted by moves and changes.

His swordsmanship is very sophisticated. With a sword in hand, two or three armed bandits are no match for him. Even if there are five or six, he can handle them.

As long as he doesn't encounter a body-tempered warrior who is proficient in martial arts, he can handle it with ease.

Among the detectives of Nancheng Division, those who have mastered the swordsmanship to perfection can be counted on one hand.

"Unfortunately, the gap between me and Xing Zhaofu is still quite large."

Su Mu said to himself.

Taking a glance at the panel, it turns out that it takes a full thousand points to master the Fu Bo Sword Technique from great success to perfection.

"The basic points for a constable are 10 points per day, and the 'performance' fluctuates between 0-10 points. If you're just patrolling the streets, your 'performance' is at most two or three points. Only when you catch a murderer on the wanted list will your 'performance' skyrocket."

Su Mu thought to himself, "Not to mention that it's not that easy to meet the criminals on the wanted list, even if I do meet them, I may not be their opponent.

Even if you only take the basic points, it only takes three months to accumulate a thousand points."

As long as he can come back alive from Black Dragon Village, he will have enough time to accumulate strength.

You can even try to find a method to temper your body.

"Black Dragon Village..."

Su Mu murmured to himself.

There are still ten days left before the expedition, and it is obviously too late to practice the Fu Bo Sword Technique to perfection.

“It’s not enough to master the swordsmanship, but if I add these, it might be useful at a critical moment.”

Su Mu groped in his arms and then spread his hand on the table.

Five round balls were spinning on the table.

Killing the Pink Wolf Du Qian not only allowed him to show off in front of Sima He Yuxing and get a reward of 100 taels of silver, but also allowed him to obtain these five smoke bombs.

Yang Jin scoffed at this kind of thing, but Su Mu felt that it was Du Qian who was bad, not the smoke bomb.

So he unceremoniously put all five smoke bombs into his bag.

"A thief like Du Qian doesn't leave any money on him. He doesn't even have any martial arts skills with him. But these five smoke bombs are worth a hundred gold coins. If used well, they can even save your life."

Su Mu thought for a while and felt a little more confident. He carefully put the smoke bomb away and put the long sword beside him before lying down to sleep.

…………

Outside the city, Black Dragon Village.

A bronze-skinned man strode into the Juyi Hall.

"Brother, just as you expected, the Nancheng Division has indeed sent out troops again!"

The man shouted, "If Xing Zhaofu, that bastard, hides in the city, it will be hard for me to kill him.

Since he dared to leave the city, I must tear his head off to avenge Lao San!"

Although Nanchengsi did not publicize the death of the third in command of Black Dragon Village, Black Dragon Village actually did not know who killed the third in command.

In fact, even if the Nancheng Division announced the news, the person who killed the third in command of the Black Dragon Village would not be Xing Zhaofu, but He Yuxing's nephew.

Xing Zhaofu took credit for Su Mu's achievements, but in the end the credit did not go to him.

However, the chief constable of Nanchengsi is Xing Zhaofu, so it would certainly not be wrong to blame him for the death of the third in command.

The second in command of Black Dragon Village thought simply.

"Nanchengsi is determined to fight us to the death. Does he really think that I am a soft persimmon?"

The leader of the Black Dragon Village sat in the hall with his horse and sword in his hands, and said coldly, "If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I can use you to break through to the fourth level of body tempering!"

Before he finished speaking, a thick black aura suddenly appeared in his pupils, and strange and mysterious patterns appeared on the surface of his skin, like a tattoo, full of weird beauty.
