Gao Wu: My martial arts training relies solely on hard work

Chapter 39 Gu Qingqiu’s Call
Early the next morning, Zhao Xuan rushed back to the county seat without stopping, and went to the county government office to find Mr. Li's life.

After the meeting, he deliberately concealed the matter of Luo Yuru and briefly told the story of his annihilation of Black Tiger Village.

It was emphasized that he was not paying attention for a moment and allowed the bandits to set fire to the cottage. The corpses of the bandits were burned beyond recognition.

Therefore, this credit cannot be given to fellow arresters.

Because of the Luo Yuru brothers and sisters, Zhao Xuan must keep this matter secret.

Once word spreads, Zhenwumen will follow the clues and easily identify him as the murderer.

Therefore, outsiders cannot know that he destroyed Black Tiger Village.

According to Luo Yuru, that was the sect that the chief manager of Jiangnan Dao wanted to visit.

Master Li didn't say much after listening.

He just asked Zhao Xuan to take out the Soul Refining Flag and check the progress of lighting up the runes.

Then he casually mentioned it, asking him to pay more attention when walking outside and not to easily offend people he couldn't afford to offend.

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan became even more convinced that Master Li was following him secretly and knew everything about Luo Yuru.

Otherwise, he would not believe what he said and warned him not to get into trouble easily.

Finally, Master Li encouraged Zhao Xuan, saying that he handled the matter neatly, and waited for him to report it to the county magistrate and reward him with a martial arts skill.

He even knew everything about him obtaining the sword manual, and even used martial arts skills to lure him.

Of course, it may also be a warning to him: The county magistrate has everything you want, so don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have.

Zhao Xuan took the opportunity to ask: "Master, does he know the true martial arts sect?"

Master Li asked knowingly: "Oh, have you met someone from the Zhenwu Sect?"

Zhao Xuan said without blushing, "Well, I met a man and woman by chance. They claim to be members of the Zhenwu sect. They act domineeringly and perversely. You can't afford to offend them at first sight."

Master Li took a deep look at Zhao Xuan and said calmly: "The third generation grandmaster of the Zhenwu Sect has over ten thousand disciples and ranks seventh among thousands of sects in the Jin Dynasty. Of course, ordinary people cannot afford to offend him."

"If you accidentally offend them, don't panic. You can call yourself a lackey of the Lu family. The name of the Lu family of Wu County may save your life."

"It should be noted that in the Jin Dynasty, apart from the Wang and Xie families, the name of the Lu family is undoubtedly the most useful, and the royal family will give three points of noodles."

If Zhao Xuan's level was not too low, he wouldn't mind telling him: The Jin Dynasty was established jointly by my Lu family and other aristocratic families.

Zhao Xuan pretended to be stupid and said: "But I don't know anyone from the Lu family, so how can I dare to call the Lu family a lackey?"

Master Li said proudly: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, is a descendant of the Lu family. Why can't you claim that?"

"Remember, Lord Lu of the county is well-known. He is the grandson of the head of the Lu family, and he is deeply loved by the head of the family."

"With him taking care of you, no one will dare to touch you."

Zhao Xuan had a proud expression on his face, but his heart sank to the bottom of his heart.

The more powerful a county magistrate is, the less likely he is to escape control.

Old fox, I'm asking about the Zhenwu Sect. Who asked you about the Lu family in Wu County?

Speaking of this, Zhao Xuan asked along the way: "May I ask Master, what are the things I can't afford to offend? In the future, I will try to keep a respectful distance from you."

He wanted to know which side he should embrace if he fell out with the county magistrate one day.

Although there is no rush at this moment, people have no long-term worries and must have immediate worries.

Make plans as early as possible.

Master Li glanced at him: "You can't afford to offend too many, just be careful."

"As for those who can't even afford to offend the county magistrate, they are only the direct descendants of the six great families of Wang, Xie, Lu, Zhu, Zhang, and Gu, as well as the true disciples of major sects such as Sanqing Temple and Wanfo Temple."

"Have a good life and practice. These people are all dragons, phoenixes and unicorns flying in the nine heavens. They will not have any connection with you."

"Your Excellency, this is most likely the pinnacle that you can reach in your lifetime."

Zhao Xuan chuckled: "I'll save it."

……

Zhao Xuan returned to the small courtyard in Nancheng, opened the door, and saw a row of pebbles and a leaf cut into a lotus leaf under the tree in the courtyard.

This was the contact code he had agreed with Gu Qingqiu, the Liansheng teacher.

She came to him?
Zhao Xuan turned around and locked the door, pretending to pass by the tree casually, and glanced at Shizi.The message conveyed by Shizi: Gu Qingqiu made an appointment with him to meet at the Earth Temple in the south of the city today at Unity Time.

Zhao Xuan made a note of it and scattered the stones and smashed the leaves.

It was still early now, so he put on the Yin-Yang jade pendant given by Gu Qingqiu and began to think about "Ruthless Killing".

The scenes of countless villains practicing swordplay went through his mind like a movie or TV drama.

The next moment, the long sword was unsheathed and he started practicing according to the villain's movements.

Sometimes he leaps and slashes, sometimes he sticks to the ground and teases.

After putting it all together, waves of heat filled my body, and a reminder appeared:
"The Yin-Yang Jade Pendant calms the mind and calms the mind, and ruthlessly kills emotions and desires. The two complement each other. Under the influence of the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant, you practiced the ruthless slash ten times and your progress doubled."

"Ruthless Slash: 1/100."

"The Yin Yang Jade Pendant has absorbed a bit of your essence, please be careful."

The yin-yang jade pendant increases understanding, and it is indeed good to practice swordsmanship while wearing it.

It's easy to use, but it's a bit energy-consuming.

Zhao Xuan ignored the risk warning and continued to practice his sword.

He practiced until noon at one breath, and his feet became weak after practicing. He was able to upgrade the "Ruthless Slash" to level 15, reaching the entry level.

As soon as the prompt came out, Zhao Xuan immediately struck the ground with his knife, took off the jade pendant, and let out a long sigh of relief.

He stopped practicing for the time being. If he continued practicing, he was afraid that his waist would not be able to bear it.

Instead, he went to the house to get a few taels of silver, and went to the drug store to buy a batch of medicinal materials for nourishing qi and blood, to replenish himself.

In addition to the level improvement and ruthless killing, the biggest gain from the annihilation of Black Tiger Village this time was a hundred and ten taels of silver.

If he saves some money, he can use it for decades.

In the afternoon, Zhao Xuan went out early like last time and went around the city twice.

After confirming that no one is following you and that you don't feel like you are being spied on, go to the Earth Temple.

This time, before Zhao Xuan arrived at the Earth Temple, he was stopped by a girl in a white gauze skirt.

The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and a charming smile: "Master, come and play."

Zhao Xuan paused.

Isn't this Gu Qingqiu's voice?

He looked at the girl carefully. She had a delicate oval face, without any makeup, which was astonishingly bright, and she looked like a lady.

But with that sentence, there is an indescribable sense of violation.

Are you just playing with the contrast here?
Without waiting for Zhao Xuan to respond, Gu Qingqiu directly pulled him towards the back mountain.

As he walked, he asked, "Where have you been these two days? Why didn't I see you?"

Zhao Xuan replied: "The superiors arranged to investigate the case and went to the countryside."

Gu Qingqiu did not continue to ask because she felt the jade pendant on Zhao Xuan's waist.

The jade pendant was radiant, obviously deeply moisturized.

As expected of a spiritual messenger, only two or three days are worth an ordinary person's month.

The two came to a secluded place.

Gu Qingqiu suddenly came closer, almost face to face with Zhao Xuan, and a unique girly fragrance rushed into Zhao Xuan's nose.

He instinctively stepped back and ran his fingers across the hilt of the knife.

Gu Qingqiu's slender white hands held him: "Don't move, in case the wall has ears."

While speaking, his other hand fell on the jade pendant around Zhao Xuan's waist.

Suck.

The pure and rich essence entered her body, almost making her scream.

She suppressed the feeling of comfort and said softly: "Senior nephew, I have something to ask of you."
