The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 45 Choice (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
"I heard that the yard where you live, Captain Su, was set on fire?"

Nancheng Sima He Yuxing said with a smile, "How can we, the head constable of Nancheng Division, not even have a place to live in Nancheng?"

He hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this, I have an unused courtyard in Pingkangfang. It's not big, but it's clean. I'll give it to you, Captain Su."

"Thank you, Sima."

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "But no need, I have a friend who also lives in South City, I can just stay with him for a while.

It would be more reassuring if I bought this yard myself, Sima, don’t you think so? "

It's not that Su Mu couldn't be nice to He Yuxing for a few days, but he really didn't have the patience.

Anyway, he was going to the inner city soon, so he didn't care whether He Yuxing would hold a grudge against him for being rejected again.

Su Mu's refusal made He Yuxing's eyes darken slightly, but he still had some shrewdness after all. He paused for a moment and said slowly, "Since Captain Su is young and ambitious, I won't say much. Captain Su will know it over time. Working under me, I dare not say anything else, but it should be no problem for you to buy a yard in South City in a year."

He Yuxing patted Su Mu's shoulder meaningfully.

"Have you finished your work for today? Let's all go."

He Yuxing waved his hand, then turned and left.

…………

Su Mu spent the whole day dealing with visits from all sides.

Su Mu accepted all the congratulatory gifts.

Practicing martial arts is very expensive, and he has no other way to make money now, so naturally the more money the better.

As for whether accepting the money would have any negative consequences, he didn't care at all.

Anyway, he is going to the inner city soon. Can these people still go to the inner city to find him?

After the sun went down, Su Mu went straight to a shabby alley and knocked on a shabby wooden door.

Yang Jin opened the door and pulled Su Mu into the yard.

"Have you mastered the Golden Scale Skin Tempering Technique?"

Yang Jin asked anxiously.

The biggest news in South City today was that Su Mu broke into Xu's house at night, killed the guards in front of Xu Mingchen, and took away the housekeeper.

Those who are more informed are all discussing Su Mu's affairs today.

Yang Jin naturally heard about it as well. When he first heard the news, the wine in his hand spilled all over himself.

Killing a guard of the Xu Mansion who had achieved minor success in body tempering and major success in martial arts with just one sword strike is something that even an ordinary warrior at the first level of body tempering may not be able to do.

Regarding Su Mu's strength, the major forces in South City have various speculations.

Some guessed that he had just started to temper his body, while others guessed that he had already made some progress in tempering his skin.

But there is one thing everyone has reached a consensus on.

That means Su Mu has mastered a sword technique!
Su Mu nodded slightly. His golden scale skin tempering method had been perfected, but it seemed okay to say that it had been moderately perfected.

"call!"

Yang Jin let out a long breath, a look of surprise on his face.

Others may not know, but Yang Jin knows it. He was the one who found the Golden Scale Skin Tempering Method for Su Mu.

The problem is, he has only taught Su Mu the Golden Scale Skin Tempering Method for two months at most. Before that, he was sure that Su Mu had never practiced the Body Tempering Method.

In just two months, he has already mastered the Golden Scale Skin Tempering Technique to a small degree. What kind of talent is this?
Yang Jin approached Su Mu because he was impressed by Su Mu's understanding of martial arts. Unexpectedly, Su Mu's talent for practice was so amazing!

This is really an unexpected success!
When he made the deal with Su Mu, it was purely a gamble and he didn't really have much expectations.

Unexpectedly, Su Mu gave him such a big surprise.

"Alas, it's a pity that you were born in such a poor family that you didn't get to know the Body Tempering Technique earlier. Otherwise, you would have reached the third level of Body Tempering by now."

After Yang Jin was overjoyed, he couldn't help but sigh, "Now that you are past the best age for body tempering, you may be able to reach the third level of body tempering before you are thirty, but the chances of reaching the fourth level are slim."

Although Yang Jin felt a little sorry, as long as Su Mu could reach the fourth level of body tempering, there would be hope that he could help him kill that man! "Old Yang, I have to stay at your place tonight, is that okay?"

Su Mu glanced towards the house and spoke.

Yang Jin looks like a bachelor, so there shouldn't be any inconvenience for him.

"You are so popular in South City now, but you don't even have a place to live?"

Yang Jin said.

"Of course there are. He Yuxing is even going to give me a courtyard, but I don't trust them. In South City, I only trust you."

Su Mu said lightly.

For some reason, Yang Jin suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"If you don't mind the simplicity, you can stay as long as you want."

Yang Jin said.

"It won't be long."

Su Mu said.

He will go to the inner city to seek for a future tomorrow, and he will definitely live in the inner city by then.

"By the way, Old Yang, where did the Taipingsi Yamen in Wuling City come from last time?"

Su Mu asked.

This was the real reason why he came to Yang Jin's place to stay tonight, otherwise he could have stayed anywhere for the night.

Although this matter might be able to be found out by asking the Nancheng Division, the same thing still applies: Su Mu does not trust the people in the Nancheng Division.

He didn't want anyone to know that he was going to the Taiping Division until the dust settled.

After all, he was not sure what the identity of Brother "Taiping" was at the time.

It's always better to be cautious.

"You still haven't given up on the Taiping Division?"

Yang Jin frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you? The threshold of the Taiping Division is too high. Although you have some talent, the Taiping Division is not short of geniuses. Moreover, you have a poor family background and you were exposed to the Body Tempering Method too late."

Without waiting for Su Mu to speak, he continued, "If you really don't want to be mediocre, then you can join any of the four major families in the inner city. With your talent, I'm sure they won't refuse.

If you can get in touch with any of the four major families, you will be able to secure your position as the head constable, and even if you take a step further, you may be able to work in the inner city."

"Hasn't Nancheng Sima He Yuxing already shown his good will to you? He Yuxing comes from the He family in the inner city. If I'm not mistaken, the He family will definitely send someone to recruit you after hearing about you."

Yang Jin continued, "If you refuse, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the position of the head constable of the South City Division. The He family will not allow an outsider to sit in this position.

However, the other three companies definitely want to put their own people in this position, and they will definitely extend an olive branch to you.

In your current situation, you can just wait for the right price. You can join whoever offers the highest price.

Anyway, the four major families are equally powerful, so it doesn't matter who you choose."

Yang Jin analyzed it carefully, as if he was the one who had to make the choice.

From him, Su Mu gained a better understanding of the situation in Wuling City.

The four major families in the inner city, Luo, Xie, Wang, and He, each of them is extremely powerful.

Behind He Yuxing is the He family, and behind the Xu family is the Wang family in the inner city.

Yang Jin analyzed the pros and cons of choosing each one, but he didn't know that Su Mu didn't need to make a choice at all.

His only choice is to slay demons and eliminate evil, and the Taiping Division, which is specially authorized by the emperor!
"If you want to join the four major families in the inner city, you'd better make a choice immediately."

Just as Yang Jin and Su Mu were talking, a voice suddenly came from the roof.

Before he finished speaking, a burly figure jumped down and appeared in front of the two of them.

　I am not very enthusiastic about following the novel. Is it because the author does not update the novel well enough? I don't know if three updates are sincere enough. Can I read more? I will start three updates today. I am sincere enough. The rest is up to you~~
