Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 63 Sharpening the Knife
In the martial arts training ground of the police station, Yang Qian fought with others holding his newly acquired oxtail knife. The white blades were flying everywhere as he moved, which was terrifying to watch, but there were seldom any sounds of weapons clashing. It was obvious that they were mainly practicing martial arts, and there was no real killing contest.

The person who fought with Yang Qian was Wang Hai, who was known as the best fighter in the Sandaocheng government office.

This morning, Yang Qian came here to practice swordplay. The larger the place, the easier it was to practice swordplay than at home. He happened to run into Wang Hai, who was excited to see the prey and took the initiative to let Yang Qian spar with him.

Yang Qian had just received his new weapon and needed someone to help him get familiar with it, so he readily agreed.

That's how the scene unfolded.

One is the captain of the police station who has been in the limelight recently, and the other is the chief captain of the police station. It is rare to see such a competition between them.

Many constables soon gathered around to join in the fun, clapping and cheering from time to time, and the scene looked very lively.

After fighting for about half an incense stick of time, Yang Qian stepped in the wrong position and exposed himself. Wang Hai seized the opportunity and kicked him down, thus deciding the winner.

"it is good!"

"The chief constable is awesome!"

"As expected, the Chief Constable is still better!"

Cheers rang out one after another, and Wang Hai waved his hand with a smile, signaling everyone to disperse quickly, but the smile on his face was much kinder than usual.

After everyone left, Wang Hai and Yang Qian went to a teahouse nearby and sat down to rest. It was obvious that they had something to say, and the people around them were tactful and did not come over. However, many people cast envious glances at Yang Qian.

Being valued so highly by the Chief Constable, this young Constable Yang will surely have a bright future!

"How did you train yourself, kid? Did you hold back when you were sparring with me just now? Did you deliberately leave me a flaw with the last move? Were you worried that I couldn't beat you?"

Yang Qian quickly smiled and shook his head, saying, "Captain, what are you talking about? How can my humble skills be a match for you? You are the one who showed mercy, otherwise how could I have held out for so long?"

When sparring, everyone must hold back. Otherwise, wouldn't it just be a fight?
However, Yang Qian did deliberately give Wang Hai a flaw in the end, otherwise it would be a big deal if the two of them kept fighting. He couldn't let the chief constable keep fighting with him for a long time without being able to defeat him, right? This would be embarrassing.

Yang Qian is aware of this.

But Yang Qian knew it best. He could not be called holding back just now, but letting go. He did not expect Wang Hai's "Triple Strength of Waves" to be so much worse than his. It felt like he had just entered the realm of mastery. The same was true for his body movements, and his swordsmanship was even worse.

This is under the premise that Yang Qian has not released all of his physical strength enhanced by the Blood Strengthening Pill, otherwise Wang Hai would be even further behind him.

Yang Qian felt that if he were to face Wang Hai in a real killing spree, he could kill him within twenty moves!
"You just like to hide your tricks. Never mind. This is not a bad thing. But your swordsmanship is really amazing. Even if you hold back, I can feel that the sword power is completely untraceable and extremely sharp. Is this perfect?"

"Yes, Chief Constable. The Eight Styles of the Oxtail Knife has been completed for some time. I continued to ponder it and came up with new insights. I am sorry to embarrass you, Chief Constable." Yang Qian did not hide anything about this.

"Hiss, Yang Qian, your talent in swordsmanship is a little scary!"

"Captain, it's useless to have good talent. Sword skills are hard to find. After the "Oxtail Sword Eight Styles", I have no sword skills to practice."

Seeing that Yang Qian sounded pitiful, Wang Hai knew that the other party was trying to test him.

So Wang Hai said with a smile: "Good boy, are you waiting to get something from me?" "Captain, I have no other options, so I can only ask you for some advice." Yang Qian was just trying to find out a new sword technique. He couldn't just wait until he became the chief constable to learn a new sword technique, right?

Not to mention how long it will take, why would Wang Hai make room for you, Yang Qian?

Therefore, if Yang Qian wanted to learn new sword techniques, he had to find another way.

Wang Hai didn't play tricks on Yang Qian. It was obvious that he could understand Yang Qian's anxiety of having so much energy but nowhere to use it.

After thinking for a while, Wang Hai said, "Now if you want to learn a better sword technique than the Eight Styles of the Oxtail Sword, there are only two options.

Or you can buy it at a high price. I know a few people who do this. However, the price may not be affordable for you, and the knife skills may not follow the "Oxtail Knife Eight Styles" and may not be suitable for you.

Or you can get new knife skills from the state government. This way, you don't have to spend money, and you can follow the "Oxtail Knife Eight Styles" method, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and it is the most suitable for you.

I can help you get new knife laws from the state."

Yang Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly prepared to stand up to thank him, but Wang Hai grabbed him and pushed him back to his seat.

"Don't be so quick to thank me. Although there are precedents in the government office for applying for sword skills beyond one's rank, it is extremely difficult and only those with great achievements can do so.

So, even if I am willing to help you, you have to show your support yourself. Otherwise, even if I help you apply, it will just be rejected.”

"Please give me some advice, Chief Constable!"

"Haha, do you still need my guidance? You know what's going on with the case you have now. If this matter can have a good result, not only will I help you apply for the new sword technique, but the yamen master will definitely be willing to sign it. When the time comes, with your contribution, it will be a sure thing.

So, now you know what to do, right? "

"My subordinate understands!"

"That's good to know. But don't be impatient. We need to take our time with the case and make sure not to alert the enemy."

"I know that there is a case that is progressing well. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to give the chief constable the first detailed file soon."

"Oh, so soon? Okay, I'll wait for your news. By the way, how is Tang Guozi's matter going? The yamen master has been helping you bear the pressure recently, so you have to make some good progress to justify it."

Before the government office helped, Yang Qian was naturally allowed to run his own candy business and see how it went. But after Yang Qian had a conflict with the guards in the street and it became such a big fuss, the main pressure shifted from the candy itself to the government office.

There have been many frictions between the government office and the garrison recently, which has completely broken the previous silence of not interfering with each other. Both sides have gradually become angry, and will not miss any opportunity to take advantage of the other party. It has even begun to affect the private business of some of the secretaries and officials in the government office. All these pressures need to be relieved by Yang Qian, the instigator.

Cui Mingsheng didn't urge him, but Wang Hai was kindly reminding Yang Qian that this matter couldn't be dragged on in silence.

Yang Qian lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, Chief Constable. Not everyone can learn the ways of Masheng Lane. Everything is going well at the moment. The first batch of money will come by the end of this month. I would like to invite you to have a drink and report the situation of the smuggled sugar. What do you think?"

Seeing Yang Qian so confident, Wang Hai put aside his worries and nodded, "Okay, as long as you get your business done, I'll help you invite the yamen master."
