The night passed quickly. As usual, after soaking in the medicinal bath, Liang Yue began practicing his fist techniques.

However, his practice area had now been moved from the courtyard to the newly opened basement.

These were special times. Last night, taking advantage of the darkness and heavy snow, this guy had caused a ruckus for most of the night, going back and forth, wiping out more than a dozen so-called meritorious clans. At this moment, the city of Beiping was in turmoil.

The increasingly heavy snow in the sky could not dispel the noise in the air.

The atmosphere in the city had inevitably become somewhat paranoid. At this time, any unusual event could become the fuse that provoked the Qing court's nerves.

Therefore, although the government officials and soldiers outside were making a lot of noise, chasing so-called rebels everywhere since last night, the large residential areas inside the city appeared even quieter.

Especially in the area where Liang Yue lived, a large area inhabited by powerless and uninfluential lower-class people, it was almost deathly silent everywhere, and people didn't even dare to go out.

The snow layer in front of the door was still intact, for fear that the officials would find them displeasing and impose an unwarranted charge on them, and then send them to prison.

Liang Yue, on his side, was naturally happy to be idle, cooperating with the surrounding atmosphere and refusing to go out, secretly immersing himself in the cultivation of his skills.

Soon, another two days passed. During this period, Liang Yue's Golden Bell Cover cultivation progressed rapidly. Unknowingly, his proficiency also showed a small step-like increase.

However, this was naturally not a gift he received out of thin air.

It was the harvest Liang Yue gained after sticking to the pattern of working during the night and resting during the day, and encountering a group of Jianghu figures in the process of implementing a clearing strategy in Beiping City.

As a result, Liang Yue's progress in clearing out the families and sons of princes and nobles who were granted power by the Qing court was forced to slow down, no longer the grand occasion of sweeping more than a dozen families in a row on the first night.

A group of imperial hounds specifically targeting martial arts figures, and the enshrined figures from various powerful families, were also ordered to patrol the night in Beiping.

However, the benefits of this were also obvious.

In addition to a small increase in the proficiency of the Golden Bell Cover due to being beaten a few times, the data for the hunting mission was also boosted by this guy.

"It seems that when I go out tonight, I should wear an extra layer of leather armor. Although those martial arts masters can't leave any marks on me, the damage is not low at all~"

Thanks to the blessing of the MC game character, when Liang Yue fought against those imperial hounds in the previous two days, although he was accidentally cut a few times, slapped twice, and hit by hidden weapons and darts, etc.

The data-driven physical conditions would directly turn all the damage to him into a pile of health damage, which would not affect any of this guy's physical functions at all.

And as a feature of the MC world's laws, the loss of health would quickly recover as long as the satiety was full.

This was Liang Yue's unique advantage, which was not the case for those who fought against him.

If they were not careful, as long as they were cut by this guy's double swords, or hit by the firearms in his hand, even if they didn't hit the vital point, they would at least end up with a bloody mess or even a serious injury.

They might have to directly explain their lives there.

Moreover, compared to those martial arts figures, who had limited Qinggong skills of flying over eaves and walls, Liang Yue also had a unique "digging" skill!

Even if he was temporarily caught off guard and fell into the enemy's encirclement, this guy could still use the iron pickaxe in his hand to calmly dig a hole underground and escape.

Even if those imperial hounds still chased him relentlessly and refused to give up, wanting to play the game of digging three feet into the ground with him.

But for Liang Yue, a mere unit of earth cube was ninety by ninety centimeters thick.

Even if they hired professional tomb raiders to dig the pit, they would still have to dig for a while!

Moreover, this was just a soil cube. If Liang Yue blocked them with a stone or even iron, the situation would be different~!

"Knock knock knock~!"

At this time, just as Liang Yue had completed a round of cultivation and was sitting in the house gobbling down his meal, the courtyard door outside was suddenly knocked.

"Who is it~"

Hearing the sound, Liang Yue frowned subconsciously, and felt a little surprised in his heart, thinking, could it be that I was exposed? Shouldn't be?

"It's me~ Taoist Liang! Come quickly! The government has sent people to distribute food!"

Hearing the voice of his landlord, the butcher, outside, and after hearing what the other party said, Liang Yue was somewhat relieved.

Now, three days had passed since the destruction of the West Camp and the annihilation of the 40,000 Eight Banner Army. During this period, Beiping City had been in a state of martial law.

Some merchants were okay, at most they just couldn't do business. Anyway, the whole city was like this now.

But for ordinary households, I'm afraid that a good number of people didn't have much food stored at home. The main reason was that this change came too suddenly, causing panic.

In addition, it was the cold winter months, and it had been snowing all these days.

In this situation, if the people's homes lacked food and firewood, it would inevitably sow the seeds of disaster~

The government is now distributing food, which is also a means to stabilize people's hearts in a timely manner.

"Squeak" a sound.

Liang Yue opened the courtyard door, and the landlord's fat face immediately appeared in front of him, still as greasy as ever.

"How is it, Brother Liu? Did they catch the criminal?"

"How would I know! But since the government is here to distribute food, it seems that they haven't caught him yet, alas~! This martial law will probably last for a while!"

"So the government is distributing food now, is it free for us?"

"Hum~! You're thinking too well! I heard from the yamen runners I know that you have to pay for it yourself! What's wrong, Taoist Liang, are you a little~ short of money?"

"It's not that bad, I still have a little travel money left, but just sitting and eating, it's not a solution."

"That's true! But with your skill in alchemy, Taoist Liang, how can you be short of silver? Hey~ you know what! The medicine you gave me the other day, it really works! I've never felt so comfortable before!"

"It's not like I haven't opened for business yet! Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in Beiping City!"

"Alas~ that's right! I just slaughtered a fat pig a few days ago, who would have thought that I would run into the city being under martial law, and I'm still stuck at home and can't sell it.

Fortunately, it's winter, and it's snowing, so things don't spoil easily, otherwise, I would have lost everything!"
