MTL - Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 28 Ambush

 After three rounds of drinking.

Min Baoyi was a little tipsy. He patted Chen Mu's shoulder with his big hand and said with a smile: "We've almost finished the food and wine. I heard that you are not yet married. Do you want me to take you to a good place? The food there is very good."

As soon as he said these words, he naturally knew what a good place it was. Before he could think about it, the blood in his body surged first. Just when Chen Mu was about to move, he suddenly thought of the golden jade skin resurfacing method. Shou Qi Xue's statement immediately suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

“Brother Min, Yaxing should accompany me, but I have just started to practice tempering the body, and my performance has not been completed...”

 Chen Mu declined politely.

Min Baoyi immediately slapped his thigh and said: "Hey, forget about this. The gold and jade skin resurfacing method really locks up the blood. If you focus on practicing this method, I'm afraid your marriage will be postponed for a few years."

 “No hurry, no hurry.”

Chen Mu smiled and shook his head.

 In fact, someone asked Wang Gong yesterday to arrange a marriage for him. After all, he was the new chief in Jiutiao, and he was valued by the superiors. He had a bright future, and he was only twenty-two years old. There were many local squires who were willing to marry their daughters.

However, Chen Mu was not thinking about it for the time being, and he wanted to practice gold and jade skin resurfacing, so he declined them all.

 “Well, the days ahead will be long.”

Min Baoyi stood up and went down to the restaurant with Chen Mu. After watching Chen Mu leave, he touched his chin and said: "The concentration is not bad... That's true. If you can understand the power of the sword at this age, how can you lose your willpower?"

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of the time when he was being flirted with by someone, so he couldn't help but go to the hookup place, and then he got out of hand. As a result, the skin polishing process was delayed for three years. !

 Otherwise, he might have entered the Yijin level now.

 The past cannot be told.

In short, Xu Hongyu likes this young man. Needless to say, he has understanding, is cautious in his actions, has remarkable perseverance and determination, and has a very clean background. He is indeed worth cultivating. He can explain it to Xu Hongyu in detail.

 …

  Distinct from Min Baoyi.

Chen Mu had no intention of wandering around, so he hurried home.

 When Min Baoyi was drinking just now, he deliberately restrained himself and didn't drink much. In addition, he had a good drinking capacity and was practicing skin resurfacing now, so his energy and blood were abundant, so there was basically no impact at this time.

 The Yu family, the He family, the Chijin Gang…

 Chen Mu was thinking about the many messages he had received from Min Baoyi. At present, it is the safest way for him to stay in Jiutiao and practice martial arts quietly, occasionally dealing with two thieves and collecting tax money.

In fact, after he figured out the general structure of the City Guards Department and the overt and covert struggles between the various forces, he even felt that it would be a better plan if he did not get promoted to the post of head of the city and remained an inconspicuous sergeant.

Although Chatou is only a small role for a truly powerful person, after all, it involves Xu Hongyu, so it is inevitable that he will get into the eyes of others and cause some trouble.

 But opportunities and tribulations coexist, as is always the case in the world.

If he had not come into Xu Hongyu's field of vision, he would not have been able to obtain the 'gold and jade skin grinding method', and hundreds of taels of silver would be nonsense. It is also impossible to receive gifts from all the squire forces in just a few days. The housewarming ceremony.

Although each share is not very valuable, the total income is over a hundred taels of silver.

This has only been a few days.

With money, power, and a way to make progress, his whole life has been turned upside down. Even if it involves some troubles, Chen Mu has no complaints at all. There is no free lunch in the world.

“The practice of the Skin Grinding Technique will be very fast, but the Gale Wind Sword Technique will take a lot longer to achieve the power of the sword.”

 Chen Mu previously knew it from Min Baoyi.

Above the sword force, there is indeed a realm called 'sword intention', also known as artistic conception, but that kind of thing is far more ethereal than the sword force. It is too difficult to cross it in one step, so there is still a gap between the force and the intention. There is a transitional phase of accumulation.    It is called multiple potentials.

As the name suggests, after mastering one sword style, you can practice other sword skills at the same time. If you can practice a second sword style, then the combination of the two becomes a 'double style'. Compared with a single style, it will be more powerful. Be stronger.

However, it is already very difficult for a martial artist to master one type of posture. Many people practice hard all their lives and cannot reach that level. It is even more difficult to master multiple postures.

 As for the higher triple potential and quadruple potential...

There are very few people who can practice to this level. They are basically big people. Even Min Baoyi knows not many.

“Ordinary people don’t have that much energy and time to practice multiple sword postures, but I don’t have this problem with the system panel. I can master the second sword posture in up to half a year.”

 Chen Mu also nodded secretly to this, at least the path he chose before was not wrong.

Even if he practices a variety of sword techniques, he still cannot reach a higher level of artistic conception, but at least he can stably master the 'multiple potentials' and always have an advantage in the field of skills. This will be his superiority. at.

Thinking in my heart.

Unconsciously, Chen Mu walked into a somewhat secluded street.

 When he came back to his senses, he was already in the middle of this quiet street.

Since it was broad daylight and still at noon, Chen Mu didn't care and went straight forward.

But after walking forward for a while, a few figures suddenly walked out from the nearest corner in front. These people were all wearing short old clothes, carrying sticks or bright machetes in their hands, and their eyes were filled with excitement. Exuding a fierce light.

"Um?"

Chen Mu frowned slightly.

Suddenly, I heard movement coming from behind. I turned my head and looked back, only to see some figures rustling from behind the alley. They were all wearing ragged clothes, but they all had a sinister aura.

There were gangsters appearing before and after, and now Chen Mu was finally sure that these were not gangsters passing by, but were coming for him!

Although he and Min Baoyi went out to drink and did not wear official uniforms, it would be ridiculous to say that these people who came to him did not know him... To use a sword against a chaotou in Kutiao in broad daylight was a shame. audacious in the extreme.

Let alone ordinary villains, even if a gang as prestigious as the Chijin Gang dares to act like this, it will inevitably make Xu Hongyu, the chief police officer, furious. Even if he directly leads people to defeat the Chijin Gang, it is unreasonable!

 He asked himself that he had not offended anyone in the past few days.

At that moment, Chen Mu had a sullen face, and did not stop. Instead, he continued to walk forward. At the same time, his right hand had already grasped the handle of the sword at his waist. Now he could never leave his body with the sword. This most critical weapon was always with him. Won't let go.

More and more villains are coming.

 At least seventeen or eight people turned out from the corner of the alley, which made Chen Mu frown even more.

There were at least thirty or forty people in front and behind him. Even if the world is in chaos, it would be impossible to set up such a large formation to ambush him here in broad daylight without alerting all parties.

These people walked straight over without saying a word, and when they were close to a position four or five meters in front of Chen Mu, the leading men threw a piece of white stuff at Chen Mu at the same time, accompanied by a pungent smell.

Chen Mu was already on guard and reacted very quickly. He immediately closed his eyes and jumped back, avoiding the lime powder that fell head-on.

"I used this thing to plot against Tang Quan a few days ago, and then someone used this trick to plot against him. It's really God's will and retribution..." Chen Mu thought to himself.

Furthermore, Min Baoyi had just told him that nothing would happen to him as long as he was careful in this territory. However, they had just been separated for a while, and the slap in the face came as fast as he could.

This time the distance was very close, but Chen Mu managed to avoid most of it. Just a little impact was not very big. After avoiding, he immediately moved forward again, fiercely violently, and the sword in his hand was like a strong wind. Fall suddenly!

 The wind is turbulent and the west wind is howling!

 Click!

The leader of the group met him with a knife, but with just one blow, Chen Mu's wild and vicious knife cut him open. The sword in his hand rubbed against the opponent's blade, causing a spark to fly, and he was struck with one blow. The throat was cut and blood immediately spurted out.

“You attack and kill officials in broad daylight. Do you want to rebel?”

Chen Mu shouted coldly, and his voice resounded throughout the streets. With the killing power of this sword, all the villains were shocked for a moment.
