The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 85: Tempering the tendons (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
Nanchengsi Yamen, backyard.

Everyone gathered in front of the screen wall, staring at the lines of words carved with a knife on the wall without blinking.

"All the flowers fade, only the blooming one remains."

Si Cheng started to mutter, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

"All the charm goes to the small garden..."

The chief clerk continued, his voice trembling slightly.

With a swish, everyone's eyes were focused on the courtesan.

She shook her delicate body violently and her face turned pale in an instant.

"The shadows are sloping and the water is clear and shallow, and the dark fragrance floats at dusk."

She murmured to herself and recited the last two lines of the poem on the screen wall, and tears suddenly flowed down her face.

"I was wrong!"

He suddenly said to everyone, and then rushed out regardless of everything.

"Why are you running away? I'm telling you, you took my money, so you can't just walk away halfway."

Wang Guan shouted, "You girls, why don't you bring the person back to me!"

He yelled at the maid that he had brought with him.

The maids hurriedly chased after them and hugged tightly to those who were trying to chase out.

"Everyone, please don't..."

They had never seen their wives behave so badly, completely disregarding basic etiquette.

"Let me go. I want to apologize to Master Su."

He said to everyone anxiously, "I was wrong. I am willing to accept the punishment."

"I'm telling you guys, what do you mean? The Young Master Su you're talking about is my Brother Mu?"

Wang Guan was completely confused. He couldn't recognize all the words on the screen wall, let alone understand what they meant when put together.

"Sima, don't ask anymore."

The master covered his face and pulled Wang Guan back, whispering, "You just need to know that with this poem, Xiang will be the undisputed number one courtesan in Wuling City in the future, and no one will be able to compete with her.

Even thousands of years later, your name will still be known to people, and your name will go down in history."

The master looked envious.

Although Daxuan was founded on martial arts, there were also many scholars who served as officials.

Thousands of years later, the warriors have turned into bones, but good poems can be passed down through the ages.

There are also many talented men and beautiful women who have left their names in history because of their poetry.

Although he had a great reputation in the past, he was ultimately just a prostitute.

But things would be different with this poem. She would go down in history because of this poem. This opportunity would make a man, let alone a prostitute, ecstatic.

After the master explained for a long time, Wang Guan finally understood.

"Are you saying that the poem written by my brother Mu is good?"

Wang Guan asked.

“Excellent!”

The master said affirmatively.

"I'll just say it!"

Wang Guan slapped his thigh and laughed, "I told you that my brother Mu is not an ordinary person! I came to Nancheng to be Sima and those people looked down on me, they know nothing!

My brother Mu is a man of both literary and martial arts, and if we join forces, we will become famous all over the world sooner or later!"

Everyone had different reactions. The literati like Si Cheng and Zhu Bu were shocked and ashamed, while the gang leaders just watched the fun; they didn't understand the literary show and didn't think it was a big deal.

On the contrary, it was the relationship between Captain Su and Lord Sima that made them respect Su Mu more.

"Master Sima, I am old now, so I will take my leave now. Please forgive me."

Si Cheng and Zhu Bu could no longer stay there, so they confessed their crimes to Wang Guan and left in disgrace.

Everyone finally calmed down at this moment. They secretly made up their minds and forced themselves to cheer up to deal with Wang Guan.

…………

"Damn, I didn't expect Su Mu could actually write poetry."

Si Cheng returned to his house and cursed angrily.

How could such a good poem be written by a crude and vulgar warrior?

If he did it, he might become everyone's favorite tonight and have sex with her!
That figure——

Si Cheng felt a part of his body stirring. He drank too much at night, so he went to the toilet first, and then went to his new concubine's room...

As he thought about it, he unbuckled his belt.

"Oh no! The master fell into the toilet!"

A moment later, a scream was heard in Si Cheng's mansion, followed by chaos.

The same thing happened at the Zhubu Mansion not far away.

…………

Su Mu returned home feeling refreshed.

The two old guys fell into the toilet. Even if they didn't drown, they would not have the face to stay in Nanchengsi anymore.

For these old guys, this is more painful than killing them.

"I am a person who holds grudges. Who asked you to provoke me?"

Su Mu said in his heart.

He quickly put the events of the night behind him.

Even that Xiang Daren did not leave the slightest trace in his mind.

I copied the poems to show my saintliness, just to repay a favor to Xiang Xiaoyuan.

After all, the other party helped him practice the "Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method".

From the beginning to the end, Su Mu never thought of taking the path of a literati.

Although the Daxuan Dynasty also had civil officials, in this world full of demons, military officials obviously had a higher status.

The monsters are terrifying. Without strength, I can't even sleep well.

His determination to fight is unwavering.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Head of the Police/Taiping Division White-robed (Ninth Rank)]

[Points: 420 points]

[Realm: The third realm of body tempering (skin tempering extreme realm, flesh tempering extreme realm)]

[Kung Fu: Tianlong Eight Sounds Muscle Tempering Method (Not yet started/+)...]

[Martial Arts: Cloud and Rain Sword Skills (Perfect), Fubo Sword Skills (Perfect), Pofeng Sword Skills (Perfect), Archery (Beginner/+)]

It was past midnight and the points increased by another 140 points.

Su Mu did not hesitate and pressed the "+" after the Tianlong Eight Sounds Tempering Technique.

"hiss--"

Su Mu's body suddenly arched and he took a breath of cold air.

In an instant, he only felt streams of burning air dispersing into countless needle-like thorns, falling into the deeper parts of his body through his pores and muscle gaps.

The tendons in the human body seem to be constantly twitching by a mysterious force. Every time they move, they become a little thicker.

To temper the tendons is to make the tendons of the human body strong enough, so that the muscles of the whole body can be connected into one piece, thereby bursting out greater power.

Su Mu had seen Peng Li, who had mastered muscle hardening, and could leap four or five feet with a single leap.

Before tempering his muscles, although Su Mu was as strong as Peng Li, he could only jump two or three feet.

That's because the tendons in his body are not strong enough, and he cannot fully exert the strength of his skin and muscles.

As he got started with the tendon-strengthening method, Su Mu felt that the tendons in his body were being reshaped. Given time, his explosive power and agility would surely undergo a qualitative change.

The burning and numb feeling lasted for an unknown amount of time before gradually disappearing.

After the pain and itchiness disappeared, Su Mu felt a sense of comfort all over his body, as if he had had a massage.

After stretching his limbs casually, Su Mu immediately felt something significantly different from before.

He clearly felt that the large tendons in his body were connecting the muscles and membranes all over his body more closely together.

With a thought, Su Mu called up the system panel again. [Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Head of the Police/Taiping Division White-robed (Ninth Rank)]

[Points: 220 points]

[Realm: The third realm of body tempering (skin tempering extreme realm, flesh tempering extreme realm)]

[Kung Fu: Tianlong Eight Sounds Muscle Tempering Method (Beginner)...]

[Martial Arts: Cloud and Rain Sword Skills (Perfect), Fubo Sword Skills (Perfect), Pofeng Sword Skills (Perfect), Archery (Beginner/+)]

"I have finally gotten started with the Tempering Tendon Method. It takes 600 points to go from entry level to minor success. I should be able to do it in about four or five days."

Su Mu said to himself, "This progress is not bad, but I still have to practice martial arts, and the points are still not enough."

With the blessing of dual identities, the upper limit of points Su Mu can get every day is 140 points. He works diligently on duty, and basically gets more than 100 points every day.

This speed is actually very fast.

But Su Mu still felt that it was not enough.

The main reason is that he started later than others. If he wants to catch up with others, he can only run harder.

"To become a regular employee of the Taiping Division, Bai Yi must be at least at the fourth level of Body Tempering. Even those at the fourth level may not be enough."

Su Mu pondered in his heart.

The position of the Taiping Division official cannot be promoted for the time being. The identity of the head of the police——

The positions of Sicheng and Zhubu were vacant, but they were civil servants and I was not suitable for them.

Sima?

Wang Guan hadn't offended him, so it didn't seem appropriate to attack him.

It's really difficult to move up the social ladder.

Su Mu felt emotional and decided that a more feasible method would be to find a way to get another identity.

He couldn't help but think of the ghostwriter again.

You can make money, practice, and gain points, it's like killing three birds with one stone.

The task is just for the ghostwriter, and it cannot overlap with the assignments of the Taiping Division and the Nancheng Division, otherwise it will affect the performance of the other two identities.

It is like someone paid him to kill Peng Li. Even if he killed Peng Li, it would only be considered as the normal performance of the duties of the chief constable of Nancheng Division. The system panel would not recognize his identity as a ghostwriter, or if it recognized his identity as a ghostwriter, then the performance of the chief constable would be lost.

One thing is that the system panel will only calculate performance for one identity.

Therefore, how to make the system panel recognize his identity as a ghostwriter is a problem that requires careful planning.

An idea gradually emerged in Su Mu's mind.

…………

"To everyone, Captain Su is out investigating a case."

In the early morning, at the South City Division, Zheng Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Our Captain Su is like this. He never has a moment of leisure. He is either investigating a case or on his way to investigate a case.

I really don't know when he will return to the classroom. He is never idle in the classroom."

"Where is his home then?"

Xiang Xiaoyuan asked, refusing to give up.

"It's no use. Captain Su won't go home during the day, and we don't know when he'll be back at night."

Zheng Wang said, "He often patrols at night. The peace and stability of our South City today is inseparable from the hard work of Captain Su."

"Is he such a man?"

There was a gleam in Xiang Xiaoyuan's beautiful eyes. "Thank you, squad leader. I will come again."

Looking at Xiang Xiaoyuan's graceful back, Zheng Wang was amazed and thought, "Captain Su, you are so lucky."

…………

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The wooden door creaked open, revealing a gray-haired head.

"Su Mu? Why are you here?"

Yang Jin looked at Su Mu with some surprise and asked puzzledly.

"Is it inconvenient to come and see an old friend?"

Su Mu said with a smile.

He has been very busy these days and has not seen Yang Jin.

Yang Jin didn't come to see him, as if he had forgotten the agreement they had made.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you."

Yang Jin opened the door, stepped aside, and said, "Come in."

After welcoming Su Mu into the courtyard, Yang Jin closed the gate and said, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I'm here to fulfill my promise."

Su Mu said seriously, "I promised you that I would help you kill someone one day."

Yang Jin looked at Su Mu with a calm expression, "Your current strength is not enough."

"How do you know I'm not strong enough?"

Su Mu said.

"Unless you want to kill a strong man in the Blood Exchange Realm or even the Rebirth Realm."

"Neither, but he is a master of the fourth level of Body Tempering and the Bone Tempering level."

Yang Jin shook his head and said, "You have only been tempering your skin for a year, you definitely can't be his opponent.

Although I don't know why you became a white-clothed officer of the Taiping Division and also served as the head of the Nancheng Division, but if you want to kill that man, neither of your two identities can help.

Not only will it not help, but it will also affect your ability to take action."

"Is the person you want to kill an official?"

Su Mu actually had some guesses in his mind a long time ago.

Yang Jin has been secretive from the very beginning, which can only mean that the person he wants to kill is of extraordinary status.

His strength and identity are extraordinary. Considering Yang Jin's original identity, the person he wants to kill is most likely an officer in the army, and his position may not be too low.

Wuling City did have a garrison, led by a fifth-rank military officer, who was only under the Lord of Wuling City and the Wuling City Governor of the Taiping Division.

Yang Jin nodded, "If you regret it now, then you can just pretend that our agreement doesn't exist."

"Yang Jin, the person standing in front of you now is not the captain of the South City Division, nor is he the officer in white from the Taiping Division, but the ghostwriter, Su Mu."

Su Mu smiled and said, "Give me one tael of silver and I'll kill that man for you, how about that?"

"Are you serious? Aren't you really afraid of ruining your future?"

Yang Jin said in a deep voice.

"Destroy your own future?"

Su Mu shook his head, "No, no, the murderer was a ghostwriter, what does it have to do with me, Su Mu?
To be honest, Yang Jin, you hired someone to kill someone, so you better be careful not to be arrested by me."

Yang Jin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

He understood what Su Mu meant. Killing people cannot be done openly.

Su Mu wanted to forge his identity to kill that man. As long as he was careful, no one would suspect that the murderer was the head of the Nancheng Division.

Unless Yang Jin betrayed Su Mu, who would suspect that the captain of the Nancheng Division would kill someone with whom he had no grudge?

Yang Jin could never have imagined that Su Mu was not just trying to hide his identity, he really wanted to have another identity.

"Okay, I can tell you who that person is, but you have to promise me that you will wait until you are sure before you take action."

Yang Jin said seriously, "I don't want anyone else to die because of this."

"Don't worry, I care more about my life than you do."

Su Mu said.

Yang Jin looked around vigilantly, then said a name in a voice that only Su Mu and he could hear.

Su Mu repeated the name twice, wrote it down, and then stretched out his hand towards Yang Jin.

Yang Jin was stunned again.

"Chenghui, one tael of silver."

Su Mu said.
