Start from the Martial Arts

Seeing Ye Jin'er's breathing gradually stabilize, Fang Xiu said goodbye to Xiaolu without disturbing her.

"The orb that can activate the true qi..."

On the way back, Fang Xiu was still thinking about what happened just now.

It is said that this orb was left to Ye Jin'er by her mother, and it has the effect of warming the body.

Fang Xiu touched the orb just now for only a moment, and the true qi became unusually active.

Maybe this orb is a rare treasure that can assist in the practice of true qi.

"If it is true..." Fang Xiu really wants to try again, but the orb is Ye Jin'er's personal belongings, so he can't ask for it.

And even if it is true, he can't take out more precious things to exchange.

Unless he can achieve Xiantian, or prove that he can achieve Xiantian, and promise to warm up Ye Jin'er's body in the future.

But the Xiantian master needs three hundred years of skills, and Fang Xiu has only found the way to Xiantian now.

Whether he can get there is still unknown.

After all, those people from the Changsheng Sect will not come and line up to absorb his internal force obediently.

After years of hard work, I finally gained several decades of power, but suddenly someone came and said, "I am your leader. I want to absorb your power to achieve innateness."

If it were Fang Xiu, he would only think about whether he could absorb the other person's power.

......

Fang Xiu left Ye's house and went to the county prison again in the evening.

The new county magistrate Song Wenchun has arrived. He was transferred from Linjiang County in the northwest.

Although they are both county magistrates, Linjiang County is a small county, while Qingshi County is a large county, so the seventh-rank county magistrate was promoted to the sixth rank.

It is said that this county magistrate Song has a very good reputation and is called Song Qingtian by the locals.

On the day he left office, thousands of people gathered outside the county government office, begging him not to leave Linjiang County.

When this county magistrate Song arrived, there were only five people in his family, plus an old servant and a maid.

Ma Sandao retired early and went home. This county magistrate Song did not bring any relatives or confidants with him, and directly let Li Han, the old jailer, take over the position of prison officer.

This made Li Han very proud.

After all, according to the original trajectory, after Ma Sandao retired, it would definitely be Fang Xiu's turn to be the prison officer.

......

"Xiao Fang, wait a minute."

Fang Xiu arrived at the county prison, delivered the meal, and was about to go home, but was stopped by Li Han.

"Uncle Li."

Fang Xiu stopped.

"Are you going to the farewell banquet later?" Li Han asked.

"What farewell banquet?" Fang Xiu was stunned.

"Of course it's the farewell banquet for the boss!" Li Han looked at him in surprise.

"Don't you know? The boss will go to the prefectural city in two days."

"Uncle Ma is going to the prefectural city?" Fang Xiu was puzzled. After Ma Sandao retired, he would either stay in Qingshi County to retire or go to Jiulian County to find his daughter. Why would he go to the prefectural city?

"There was a man in the prefectural prison who had no family, and he couldn't find any relatives. Lord Zheng introduced the boss to the prefectural city."

Li Han said.

"I don't know anything. Uncle Ma didn't tell me." Fang Xiu shook his head.

"The boss probably forgot, or he is ready to tell you after he is settled. You will be blessed in the future!" Li Han patted Fang Xiu's shoulder.

"What do you mean?" Fang Xiu was stunned.

"The boss has no son, only a daughter, and he is not close to him. He probably won't let his grandson be a jailer in the future. He will retire in a few years, and you can become a police officer!" Li Han sighed.

"Uncle Ma..." Fang Xiu also reacted after hearing what he said.

Ma Sandao is nearly fifty years old, and his family is relatively well-off. He can enjoy his old age.

There is really no benefit in running all the way to the capital city to be a police officer at this time.

"Let's go." Li Han summoned a few new jailers and asked them to do their duty well, and then took Fang Xiu to Shengyun Tower.

When they arrived at Shengyun Tower.

Fang Xiu saw Ma Sandao in casual clothes and half white hair, and his heart was touched.

"Uncle Ma..."

"It seems that Old Li has told you everything. He is really a big mouth!"

Ma Sandao was not as serious as usual, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go! Today we will treat you! Don't go home until you are drunk!" Li Han patted his chest very generously.

The group went into the private room on the second floor of Shengyun Building and drank until the night.

Originally, Li Han was going to spend a lot of money to invite a few people to Chunjiang Building to have fun.

Ma Sandao refused, so Fang Xiu did not go either, went downstairs, and sent the slightly drunk Ma Sandao home.

Fang Xiu was going to call a carriage, but Ma Sandao said he wanted to walk back to sober up.

Ma Sandao did not speak along the way, and the two remained silent.

Seeing that they were almost at the door of the house, Ma Sandao stopped.

"You kid...you look more and more like your father."

A trace of reminiscence flashed in Ma Sandao's eyes.

"Back then, I and your father...forget it, let's not talk about the past."

Ma Sandao sighed.

"Uncle Ma..."

"My dear nephew, I will not be in Qingshi County from now on. You must be careful. The water here is very deep and you cannot get involved."

"Don't worry, Uncle Ma, I will save you trouble."

"If you don't want to stay in Qingshi County, remember to go to Fucheng as soon as possible."

"Yes! I remember!"

"Go back."

"Uncle Ma, I will take you there."

"No need, it's just around the corner. Go back..."

"Uncle Ma... take care!" Fang Xiu bowed to Ma Sandao.

When he walked to the corner of the street, he saw Ma Sandao still standing in the snow, watching him leave.

"It's better to leave. Fucheng is safer."

Fang Xiu thought to himself.

The biggest crime committed by the Changsheng Cult in recent years was the robbery of grain carts last year, the robbery of the execution ground and the attack on the county prison last month.

If the Changsheng Cult dares to attack the prefectural city one day, it may not be long before the change of dynasty.

"If I can't stay in Qingshi County, the prefectural city is also my first choice."

Fang Xiu's heart moved.

It is said that the scale of the prison in Tianze Prefecture is very large, second only to the Tianlao in Shendu in the entire Yan State.

A chaibo can manage ten jailers. In terms of authority alone, it is not much less than that of the Qingshi County jailer.

Although jailers are menial jobs, such iron rice bowls are not something that ordinary people can get unless they can find relatives and have connections.

What's more, he went to the prefectural city to be a chaibo.

For ordinary people, anyone wearing a chaibo uniform is an official.

......

Two days later.

Ma Sandao followed the Ziyang Escort Agency's convoy to the prefectural city.

Fang Xiu sent him out of the city gate.

Late that night, Bai Xing came to the door with a jar.

"Junior Brother Bai? What do you want to talk to me about so late?"

"Junior Brother Fang, I found that golden-winged sturgeon came out to hunt in the evening. It must be very hungry!

Tonight is the best time to catch it!

Look, this is the bait I made with the blood and flesh of the red-blooded carp king.

When you go into the water, apply the bait on your body to attract it."

Bai Xing opened the jar, which contained minced fish meat and dark red blood plasma similar to fish jelly.

The bloody smell made Fang Xiu frown.

"Junior Brother Bai, were you secretive enough when you came? How is Jiang Ming doing recently?"

Bai Xing said confidently: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Fang! I put a red-blooded carp king in the Jinshui River, and now the people of the Jinqian Gang are busy looking for it! They have no time to pay attention to us.

Besides, with my current body skills, it is wishful thinking for Jiang Ming and his men to follow me."

"That's good, let's go." Fang Xiu nodded.

......

The two of them went out of the East Gate together, performed the Gale Kick Technique, and rushed to the ferry crossing of Yixing Town in the northeast direction.

When they arrived at the ferry crossing and confirmed that there was no one around, Bai Xing sprinkled some bait.

Then, he sprinkled it every quarter of an hour.

When half of the bait was left in the jar, Bai Xing stopped.

"Brother Fang, let the golden-winged sturgeon taste it first, and then throw the remaining bait in half an hour, and it will be lured out." Bai Xing took Fang Xiu to the pavilion next to him and waited.

"Golden-winged sturgeon?!"

As soon as Bai Xing finished speaking, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded.

"Who is it?!" The two turned around at the same time.

Wow!

Three people suddenly rushed out of the forest on both sides of the ferry crossing.

The leader was a purple-robed old man who was as fat as a ball.

And the two people beside him, the strong man on the left was tall and strong, full of fierce aura.

The woman on the right was petite and plump, but she was carrying a huge sword over five feet long on her shoulder.

"Jiang Ming!"

Bai Xing was shocked.

"Zhang Zhongdong!" "Wei Ping!"

"You really kept us waiting!" Jiang Ming said jokingly.

Bai Xing looked incredulous: "How did you know..."

"Brother Bai, stop pretending at this time, why don't you deal with Fang Xiu together!" Jiang Ming sneered.

Bai Xing's face changed again when he heard this.
