Chapter 26: Can you teach us how to fight

Chapter 26

Gong Xiaohua and everyone else returned to the Ministry of Justice, handed over the big knife in their hands to the Capture and Arrest Division, and then went to the dungeons with Sun Daqiang.

As Sun Daqiang walked along the road, he kept stealing glances at Gong Xiaohua. When Gong Xiaohua looked at him, he would turn his head and look into the distance.

"Brother Daqiang, what's wrong? Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

"No, nothing. Xiaohua, can I make a request?"

"What request?"

"Can I see your face? Don't get me wrong, I just feel that you're completely different from the Xiaohua I knew."

"I heard that there is a type of face skin on the black market that can be worn on a person's face to completely alter their appearance. Hehe, I'm just curious."

Gong Xiaohua was somewhat stunned by Sun Daqiang's strange request.

However, she was not afraid. Her face was still the original face, only her core had changed. No matter how he looked, he wouldn't be able to detect anything wrong.

As long as she kept her calm, no one would be able make her reveal any flaws. Gong special agents were never lacking in psychological quality.

Gong Xiaohua moved her face close to Sun Daqiang and said, "Go ahead and look."

Seeing that Xiaohua readily and boldly allowed him to look without any hesitation, more than half of Sun Daqiang's doubts automatically disappeared.

But he still moved closer to Gong Xiaohua and carefully observed the sides of her face, especially around her ears. When he didn't find any traces, the remaining half of his doubts also vanished.

Yet he really couldn't imagine how a person could completely change their personality and martial arts skills, even their voice hadn't changed much, after suffering from amnesia.

Maybe it really was like what she told them a few days ago in the cell when they were chatting. A blessing in disguise - almost dying but managing to survive. During her recuperation at home, she was able to practice boxing with her dad every day and randomly comprehend her own martial arts style.

Perhaps Xiaohua really was a gifted person, just like how she had completely memorized all the words in the book "Initial Literacy" within a month of learning to read.

Thinking this, Sun Daqiang was at ease.

Seeing the relaxed expression on Sun Daqiang's face indicating that his doubts about her were gone, Gong Xiaohua knew the other party had dismissed his suspicions of her.

It looks like in the future, she would have to try her best to control her words and actions. Otherwise if her cover was blown one day by someone with malicious intent, she might be dealt with as a monster.

When they arrived at the dungeons, some colleagues immediately surrounded her.

"Xiaohua, I just heard from someone in the Capture and Arrest Division that the kidnapping master criminal was captured single-handedly by you?"

The news had spread this quickly? She had only just arrived at the Ministry of Justice and the story had spread already?

"That's not true, we caught him together."

"Xiaohua, you're too modest. Now many people outside are discussing it and even gave you a nickname, the Flying Female Hero."

"That's right. I just passed by the martial arts field and let me tell you, everyone is talking about how your martial arts even surpass Li General's. You're truly formidable."

There was a sudden coughing sound from behind. It was the dungeon chief. Everyone immediately dispersed.

"You're really famous now in the Ministry of Justice, but the taller the tree, the stronger the winds that shake it. Don't stand out too much in everything."

"Yes, chief, I'll bear that in mind."

"Mm, you can go now."

Today when catching the kidnapping master thief, Gong Xiaohua clearly felt that her speed was less than half of what it was in her previous life.

This was probably related to her current weight. It looked like she needed to find a way to quickly reduce the weight of this body, otherwise when she met opponents in the final round of competition, there would be trouble.

In the afternoon, Gong Xiaohua first went to the arena where the internal selection competition was being held. Today was the fifth day. She first went to observe how others utilized their weapons.

Know yourself and know your opponent, then you can win every battle.

After watching a few rounds, Gong Xiaohua felt that there really weren't many people in their ministry who had good martial arts.

To put it bluntly, even the skills of the kidnapping master thief she had caught were better than those so-called leaders. No wonder that thief was able to roam free for so many years.

Judging only from a kidnapper's martial arts skills, the level of martial arts in this world didn't seem too bad.

But when she recalled that the Dayi Dynasty had always favored civil over military affairs, it was understandable why the overall level of martial arts was not high.

From this, one could imagine how extremely biased the emphasis on civil over military affairs was in the Dayi Dynasty of the past.

No wonder the Daye Country now wanted to promote martial arts. If this continued, the country being destroyed would be a matter of sooner or later.

After watching several rounds of competition, Gong Xiaohua went on to train in the martial arts hall, a place in the Ministry of Justice specially prepared for staff to practice martial arts.

When she arrived at the martial arts hall, many people were already inside practicing martial arts.

The people inside were startled for a moment when they saw Gong Xiaohua come in, and stopped practicing in unison. The martial arts hall suddenly became quiet.

Gong Xiaohua did not mind. She walked straight to a row of weapon racks where the competition weapons were also stored.

The variety of weapons collected here was very complete - bows, crossbows, spears, sticks, knives, swords, halberds, whips, axes and various other cold weapons.

The cold weapon Gong Xiaohua was most proficient with was a short knife, but short knives were more suitable for close combat.

The opponents in subsequent match rounds would only get more tricky, so she still needed to train more with other weapons.

Among the many weapons, she chose a sword. In modern times, apart from her superhuman fighting skills, her marksmanship and fencing skills were also quite good.

After selecting a sword, she started training alone.

Seeing that Gong Xiaohua had begun training, everyone followed suit and resumed their practice. f𝐫eewe𝚋nove𝗹.𝗰o𝚖

When Gong Xiaohua trained, she would become completely engrossed and forget everything else. It wasn't until a voice lightly shouted "Good!" that she was brought back from her focused state.

At some point, the people practicing martial arts around her had stopped and gathered around to watch her.

"Ms. Gong, your martial arts is truly great. Can you also teach me?" A shy young man ran over and asked Gong Xiaohua sheepishly.

"Don't worry, I won't teach for nothing. I have money, I can pay you."

"Me too, I can also pay if you can teach us as well."

With one person opening the door, a chorus of voices followed, everyone surrounding Gong Xiaohua and asking if she could teach them.

Seeing Gong Xiaohua silent for a long time, they thought she did not want to teach them. Disappointed expressions immediately appeared on everyone's faces as they prepared to disperse. Some still held out hope though:

"It's fine if you can't teach us, as long we're allowed to watch every time? Rest assured, I can also pay you."

Gong Xiaohua knew they had misunderstood. Hurrying to speak up before everyone left:

"I'm not refusing to teach, it's just that I've never taught anyone before so I'm afraid I might not teach well. And I may not always have the time to come here and teach everyone." Gong Xiaohua explained.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can teach us sometimes, even if it's just one day. We'd be grateful."

"All right then, I'll be here these few afternoons. Those of you who want to learn can come over during that time. You don't need to pay me."

"Thank you!" Everyone expressed their gratitude and scattered.

Seeing that everyone had left one by one, she also found the dungeon chief to ask to leave work an hour earlier to prepare some things for Xiao Hao'er before taking her leave.
