Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

The man in gray smiled slightly, very satisfied with Fang Yue's reaction. He did not answer Fang Yue's question directly, but asked instead: "How much do you know about King Wucheng's power?"

Fang Yue pondered for a while and replied: "King Wu Cheng is the number one rebel in the Wei Dynasty. His power spreads all over the government and the public, and he has many masters under his command, and he has the support of the demon world.

It is indeed not an easy task to take back the 'Dragon Vein Stone' from his hands. "

The man in gray nodded and said: "You are right, King Wucheng's power is indeed powerful, but we are not without a chance.

Next month, King Wu Cheng will leave Shanyang Mansion and go to a secret place. At that time, he will only have a few trusted experts with him. This is our opportunity. "

Fang Yue's heart was moved and he asked: "Senior, do you mean that we want to sneak into the city after King Wucheng leaves Shanyang Mansion?"

The man in gray smiled slightly, nodded and said: "That's right. After King Wu Cheng leaves, the defense of Shanyang Mansion will inevitably be much looser. This is a great opportunity for us to sneak into the city and look for the 'Dragon Vein Stone'."

Fang Yue frowned and said, "But even if King Wu Cheng is not in Shanyang Mansion, there are still many masters in the city. How easy is it for us to sneak into them?"

The man in gray said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have a way for you to sneak into Fucheng without anyone noticing. However, after sneaking into Fucheng, everything will be on your own. I will give you a share of Fucheng. A detailed map of where the 'Dragon Vein Stone' may be hidden. You need to find the 'Dragon Vein Stone' and bring it out in the shortest possible time."

Fang Yue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I understand, senior. I will definitely handle this matter."

The man in gray patted Fang Yue's shoulder and said: "Okay, I believe you. As long as you can successfully recapture the 'Dragon Vein Stone', you will be a great contributor to our Tianjian. When the time comes, no matter what reward you want, no matter Open your mouth."

Hearing the words of the man in gray, Fang Yue's eyes flashed with passion.

He took a deep breath and said firmly: "That's fine."

The man in gray nodded with satisfaction. He took out a map from his arms and handed it to Fang Yue. "This is a detailed map of Shanyang Mansion. It marks the locations where the 'Dragon Vein Stone' may be hidden. You have to study it carefully." , be fully prepared.”

Fang Yue took the map and carefully put it in his arms.

He knew that this map would be the key to his next move.

He must carefully study every possible hiding place and formulate the most comprehensive plan.

The man in gray then warned: "Remember, be careful when acting and don't act recklessly. Although King Wu Cheng is not in Shanyang Mansion, his power is still strong. Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Fang Yue nodded solemnly, indicating that he had taken the man in gray's instructions to heart.

He knew that this operation would be a double test of his strength and wisdom, but he also believed that as long as he had enough preparation and determination, he would be able to successfully recapture the "Dragon Vein Stone".

Seeing this, the man in gray clothes said no more, turned around and drifted away.

Fang Yue stood there, watching the back of the man in gray disappear into the night.

Fang Yue returned to the rented courtyard. It was a secluded and simple courtyard with high walls and several old trees surrounding it, providing him with a relatively safe haven.

He pushed open the heavy wooden door, walked in, and then closed the door tightly to isolate himself from the noise and prying eyes of the outside world.

Back inside, Fang Yue lit the oil lamp on the table, and the dim light filled the entire room, bringing a touch of warmth and tranquility.

He took out the map given to him by the man in gray, spread it on the table, and began to study it with concentration.

The map is extremely detailed, and every street and building in Shanyang Mansion is clearly visible.

The man in gray carefully marked several locations where the "Dragon Vein Stone" might be hidden, and each location was accompanied by some brief instructions and reminders.

Fang Yue checked these locations one by one, analyzing the advantages, disadvantages and possibilities of each place.

He knew that he could not act blindly, he must choose carefully, and once he decided, he must attack quickly and decisively.

Time passed by, and the sky outside the window gradually turned white, but Fang Yue was still immersed in the world of the map and tireless.

He thought over and over again about his plan, trying to find the most perfect one.

Finally, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window lattice and onto the map on the table, Fang Yue let out a long breath.

"Dragon Vein Stone and Great Dragon Pill. It seems that this trip to Shanyang Mansion City is inevitable." Fang Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. In any case, both of them will be of great use to his subsequent practice.

~~~~~~~
Ten days later.

Under the careful arrangements of the senior Si Tianjian, Fang Yue successfully obtained a new identity in Xiahe County.

He became the owner of a medicine shop. He was a wealthy businessman who loved martial arts and was obsessed with martial arts. He spent his days searching for experts to learn martial arts.

This medicinal shop is located in a prosperous area of ​​the county town, with an endless stream of people coming and going.

Fang Yue appeared in front of everyone as the owner of a medicine shop. He was kind and generous, and he quickly won the trust and favor of the people around him.

In order to better conceal his true identity, Fang Yue also deliberately made friends with some local warriors and people in the world.

He often exchanged martial arts skills with them and learned from each other, which not only improved his actual combat ability.

He quickly integrated into the circle of warriors in Xiahe County.

On this day, Fang Yue was busy in the medicine shop, when suddenly a burly man walked in. This man's name is Li Tieniu, a well-known martial artist in Xiahe County. His sword skills are superb and he is quite famous in the local martial arts circle.

Li Tieniu walked up to Fang Yue, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Fang Dong's family, how are you doing these days?"

Fang Yue looked up and saw that it was Li Tieniu. He quickly put down what he was doing and returned the greeting: "It turns out to be Brother Li. I'm sorry for missing you from afar, but I hope you'll forgive me. I don't know why Brother Li came to my humble home today. What's the point?" Li Tieniu laughed. , said: "The Fang Dong family is too polite. I came today because I want to have a discussion with the Fang Dong family. I wonder what the Fang Dong family wants?"

Fang Yue's heart moved and he knew this was a good opportunity to make friends with Li Tieniu, so he smiled and said: "Brother Li invites you, do you dare not to obey? Please!"

The two came to the open space behind the medicine shop and stood facing each other. Li Tieniu pulled out the long knife from his waist, the blade gleaming with cold light and exuding a fierce murderous aura. Fang Yue picked up a wooden stick from the side. Although the wooden stick was ordinary, it seemed to have spirituality in his hand.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then moved at the same time. Li Tieniu swung his long sword, and a beam of sword light struck Fang Yue. Fang Yue dodged and avoided the light of the sword. At the same time, he swung the wooden stick and hit Li Tieniu's ribs. Li Tieniu was surprised. He didn't expect Fang Yue to be so agile. He blocked Fang Yue's wooden stick with a long sword.

The two of them started fighting back and forth in the open space, and there was a trace of murderous intent in the light and shadow of the sword. But their fight is not a fight to the death, but a point-to-point discussion. The passers-by around him stopped to watch and cheered from time to time.

After a fierce fight, the two took a few steps back at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled. Li Tieniu cupped his hands and said, "I admire the Fang Dong family for their great skills!"

Fang Yue also raised his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Li, I give in. Your sword skills are exquisite and eye-opening to me."

Through this competition, Fang Yue not only demonstrated his strength, but also successfully made friends with Li Tieniu, a powerful warrior, further consolidating his position in the martial arts circle in Xiahe County.

At the same time, he also learned some information about Shanyang Mansion from Li Tieniu, which had important reference value for his future actions.

In the days that followed, Fang Yue continued to have in-depth contacts in Xiahe County as the owner of a medicinal material shop, and at the same time continued to collect information about Shanyang Mansion. Through interactions with martial artists such as Li Tieniu, he gradually learned about the close connection between Xiahe County and Shanyang Mansion, as well as the lofty status of Shanyang Mansion in the martial arts world.

On this day, a mysterious customer came to the medicine shop. He was wearing a black robe and had a deep face, giving people an elusive feeling. Fang Yue's heart moved and he secretly guessed the identity of this guest.

The man in black robe walked up to Fang Yue and said in a low voice: "Fang Dong's family, it's been a long time."

"Who are you?" Fang Yue asked.

"Haha, I am Li Sidao, King Wu Cheng's envoy looking for talents. Your Excellency is extremely talented, and King Wu Cheng is thirsty for talents."

The words "King Wucheng's envoy in search of heroes" suddenly stirred in Fang Yue's heart, and the fish finally took the bait.

But there was no expression on his face. He quickly calmed down, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Envoy Li, disrespectful and disrespectful. I wonder if the envoy has any advice for coming here this time?"

Li Sidao, the man in black robe, smiled slightly and said: "Fang Dong's family, you don't have to be polite. I came here this time on the order of King Wu Cheng, specifically to look for talents like you. King Wu Cheng has always been interested in warriors with strong martial arts skills and talents. They are all thirsty for talents, and the performance of the Fang Dong family in Xiahe County has already reached the ears of King Wucheng. "

Fang Yue's heart moved. Why did King Wu Cheng notice him? This must be a lie. Just listen to it. Anyone who believes it would be stupid.

He quickly adjusted his mentality and said humbly: "Your Majesty, the messenger, is overly praised. I am just a commoner with some minimal skills, so why should I care about you?"

Seeing Fang Yue's humble attitude, Li Sidao nodded slightly, satisfied with his reaction. He continued: "The Fang Dong family is too humble. Your strength and talent are obvious to all in Xiahe County. King Wu Cheng has always been willing to win over talents like you at all costs. I don't know what the Fang Dong family's plans are for the future. ?”

Fang Yue laughed secretly in his heart, Li Sidao's method of winning over people was quite straightforward. He thought for a while and then replied: "Although I have some low-level skills, I also know that there are people outside the world and there is a heaven outside the world. For the future, I naturally hope to reach a higher level in martial arts. If I have the opportunity to meet Gao It’s a great blessing for me to have people give me advice.”

After hearing this, Li Sidao's eyes flashed with admiration and said: "The Fang Dong family is indeed a sensible person. In this case, I will tell you directly. King Wu Cheng hopes that you can join our camp and plan big things together. With your His strength and talent will surely shine under King Wu Cheng’s command. “What do you think?”

Fang Yue was prepared in his heart. He knew that he couldn't agree immediately, otherwise it would arouse Li Sidao's suspicion. So he showed an embarrassment and said, "Mr. Envoy, this matter concerns my future and fate. Please allow me to consider it."

Li Sidao smiled slightly and said: "Fang Dong's family may consider it. But I want to remind you that opportunities are rare and fleeting. King Wu Cheng has always been eager for talents. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you will not be able to do it again in the future." It’s rare to encounter such a good opportunity.”

Fang Yue nodded in agreement, saying that he would seriously consider the matter. Seeing this, Li Sidao didn't say anything more. He cupped his hands and said goodbye before drifting away.

After Li Sidao walked away, Fang Yue took a deep breath and thought to himself: "It seems that the fish has taken the bait. The next thing is to wait patiently for the opportunity to come."

~~~~~~~~
As night falls, the stars are twinkling, and the hustle and bustle of Xiahe County gradually subsides.

Fang Yue sat alone in the backyard of the medicine shop, playing with the exquisite jade pendant he got from the man in gray, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"The envoy seeking heroes under King Wu Cheng..." Fang Yue murmured to himself, but he was sneering in his heart.

He knew that his current identity and strength had attracted the attention of King Wu Cheng's forces, which was both an opportunity and a huge challenge for him.

If he can use this opportunity wisely, he may be able to gain a deeper understanding of King Wu Cheng's power and even find a breakthrough to recapture the "Dragon Vein Stone".

But equally, once his identity is revealed, endless pursuits and dangers await him.

While Fang Yue was deep in thought, a black shadow silently fell behind him.

Fang Yue's heart trembled, he quickly calmed down, turned around and saw the man in gray standing there.

"Senior!" Fang Yue was slightly startled and quickly stood up to salute.

The man in gray nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite. He walked to sit down next to Fang Yue and asked in a low voice, "Has Li Sideo been looking for you?"

Fang Yue nodded in agreement and told the man in gray exactly what Li Sidao's purpose was and his countermeasures.

The man in gray nodded slightly after hearing this and said: "You did a good job. You were right not to agree to him immediately. You still need more time and opportunities to understand King Wucheng's power."

Fang Yue took a deep breath and said: "Junior understands. But now that I have attracted their attention, the next actions need to be more careful."

The man in gray patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to protect you secretly. You just need to act according to the plan."

"Thank you for your care, senior." Fang Yue thanked him sincerely.

The man in gray waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

He continued: "In the days to come, you have to be more careful to hide your identity. I think the hero-seeking envoy will come to you again soon. When the time comes, act carefully and promise to the other party, and then you can be honest. Entering the city of Shanyang Prefecture" (End of this chapter)
