Shen Hao dressed up and went to the backyard before dawn.
After habitually moving his legs and feet a few times, he started to dance the sword, three passes and three kills. After practicing, he put it back into its sheath and put it aside, and continued to practice the technique.
As his cultivation level continues to improve, Shen Hao's need for sleep is getting less and less. Now he can get enough sleep in two and a half hours, which gives him some extra time to practice.
Now Shen Hao has felt that his barrier to the second level of the God Converging Realm is loosening. Based on his experience, he can make another breakthrough within this month.
Shen Hao has now mastered Earth Escape and Palm Thunder to the point where he can use his hands and fingers as well as he can. With the thought in his mind, the techniques can be executed instantly without any awkwardness.
The figure disappears like a ghost, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. When it appears, it is always accompanied by bursts of thunder and lightning, and there is a faint lingering light.
This is a routine that Shen Hao uses together with his earth escape and palm thunder. What he pursues is that the palm thunder will be thrown out the moment he uses earth escape to engage the enemy, catching him off guard and winning with one blow.
But the only regret is that the current power increase of the palm thunder has stagnated. It feels like it has reached the ceiling of this technique. Even if Shen Hao's cultivation level increases in the future, it will not continue to increase the power of the palm thunder.
"It seems like we should look for the advanced technique of Palm Thunder."
Advanced magic is more cost-effective than learning a new magic alone. Because there is a foundation as a foundation, advanced spells will overlap with basic spells in terms of soul utilization, which can save some of the pressure on the soul. This is also the reason why the monks' spells are extended in series.
However, the thunder method among the Five Elements Wood attributes has always been in short supply, and Shen Hao doesn't know when he will find the right one.
After practicing the escape technique and palm thunder for a while, Shen Hao began to practice the soul-suppressing technique again. This technique is much more difficult than the previous two. After practicing it for such a long time, he has only managed to reach the level of the Heart Seal Technique by relying on the technique of splitting it. It is still far from being able to use fingers like an arm. But it can be maintained for a long time without being affected by other movements.
By the time I gathered my energy and collected my strength, the sky was already turning white.
Lady Xia fussed over the hot water and helped Shen Hao wash up. At the same time, she helped Shen Hao put on his expensive waistband and other items.
"Did you eat enough when you were in the tribe?" When he arrived in the main room, he asked Xia Nu who was standing next to him as if he was chatting while eating breakfast.
"That's enough. Our tribe also had to farm before, but it was wheat instead of rice. The soil where we live is very good, there is a harvest every year, and there is no shortage of food." Xia Nu opened her mouth without thinking. come out. But thinking about the tribe's subsequent misery at the hands of the slave caravan, the expression on his face was a little sad.
Seeing this, Shen Hao stretched out his hand and pinched the stupid slave's ears as a comfort. But he still asked: "Have you never been short of food?"
"Yes. Sometimes the big tribes will come over to collect food, leaving only rations for us and taking the rest away. Sometimes they will leave some iron tools in exchange, and sometimes they will leave nothing at all."
This is the style of the Nanman people. It is natural for the weak to eat the strong. It sounds like raising food, but in fact it is robbing. Not only do they rob food, but sometimes they also rob people. It often happens even when the Southern Barbarians gather to form the Blackstone Royal Court.
This is also the reason why most of the barbarian slaves are easy to tame after being captured. Because these races have long been accustomed to the tragic law of the weak losing everything.
"Will the big tribe be short of food?"
"Yes. They have many warriors. Warriors don't have time to work. They train all day long and eat a lot. So the larger the tribe, the more likely it is to be short of food."
"Do you have warriors in the fox clan?"
"Yes, but very few. The fox clan has slender bones and is not suitable for being a warrior. I heard that they are more likely to be assassins." Xia Nu actually doesn't know much. She can only tell what she has seen.
Shen Hao nodded and stopped asking. After breakfast, he went to work.
Today there was a regular press conference in the Qianhu Office. Shen Hao made himself a cup of herbal tea and then took it to the meeting hall. His seat is on the left, next to Fu Qianhu.
Regular reporting meetings are held once a month, and all officials from hundreds of households within the jurisdiction of Fengri City will participate. In most cases, the officer in charge of the Hundred Household Office will report on the main situation during the month. At the same time, the Thousand Household Office will also make overall arrangements for some issues. Sometimes important news such as personnel appointments and dismissals will be announced at the press conference.
Since the establishment of the Black Flag Camp, everyone thought that they could hear about the internal situation of the Black Flag Camp during the monthly briefings. When Chen Yiyun was still in office, he could indeed find out something about it, but now that Shen Hao has come to power, the Black Flag Camp has been gathering information every day. Yue's press conference was as if he was invisible, and he couldn't even say a few words even if it was a scene.
Wu Changhe was a little more oppressive at first. He also wanted to know some of the actions within the Black Flag Camp, but Shen Hao pushed them back. After that, Shen Hao used sharp means to control three of the four general flag officers of the Black Flag Battalion, and Wu Changhe's outstretched hand was completely cut off. Just not to the point of breaking out.
So now Shen Hao only comes to the monthly reporting meeting with his ears and rarely speaks. He would leave immediately after the meeting without communicating with colleagues around him, acting like a lone wolf.
Lone wolf? Gradually, because of Shen Hao's relationship, he was labeled as Black Flag Camp. Whether it is a thousand-household camp or a four-hundred-household camp, the Black Flag Camp gradually becomes alienated in the atmosphere of tacit understanding around them.
Wu Changhe was very pleased that Black Flag Camp was isolated.
Shen Hao did it even more deliberately.
Although internal audit will not make you an enemy of your colleagues, you still need to have a necessary sense of distance. This is very good for Shen Hao's opinion in the eyes of higher-ups.
However, Shen Hao, who was listening a little drowsily, was suddenly startled because he heard a piece of news from Wu Changhe who took over the conversation: On the seventeenth day of this month, the fifth prince will come to Licheng for a visit. All localities have prepared security measures in advance and directly requested the Black Flag Battalion to provide full assistance.
Fifth prince? Visit?
Although Shen Hao quickly agreed to this arrangement, he still felt a little strange in his heart. Because generally speaking, only after becoming a "prince" can a prince have authority over the military, government and other institutions in various places, and can he also be able to "visit". Before he became a prince, he could only be called "playing".
But now Wu Changhe used the word "visit". Shen Hao secretly looked around and found that he was not the only one who expressed doubts about Wu Changhe's words just now. Many people also noticed it, but they chose silently not to speak.
Wu Changhe didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with his wording just now. He was still talking about requiring the Xuanqing Guards from all over the country to launch a purge within their jurisdiction within three days, and to compact all issues so that they could not appear during the arrival of the fifth prince. Any change that damages Xuan Qingwei's face.
