The next day.
He Zhong did not immerse himself in the gentle countryside.
As usual, get up early in the morning.
Dress and wash.
The first-class guard's clothing is pure black, and there is a round hollow jade medal hanging on his waist. Both in terms of quality and style, it is much better than the gray and black clothing of the second-class guard.
Get dressed.
He Zhong glanced at the bed.
Xiaocui didn't make any movement, her face was white and red, and her eyes were tightly closed.
"Still pretending to be asleep!"
He Zhong smiled secretly in his heart.
Through Xiao Cui’s breathing.
He had long noticed that she had actually woken up shortly after he got up. She probably kept pretending to be asleep because she didn't know how to face him.
He Zhong did not reveal it.
Anyway, after marrying him, Xiaocui can no longer work as a personal maid for He Bei. The new position has not been arranged yet, so she is idle now and can sleep as long as she wants.
He first went to the canteen to get some food.
The superiority after becoming a first-class guard is reflected.
The food is no longer limited, you can eat as much as you want, and he even brought a portion for Xiaocui along the way.
But look at her attitude.
Probably won't appreciate it.
He Zhong didn't care.
He tied sandbags on his legs, arms, chest and back, and started practicing martial arts in the courtyard with the Bailian Huanshou Sword.
The sandbags were filled with iron sand and were far heavier than ordinary sandbags. The total number of sandbags on his body was close to three stones, which according to Blue Star's measurement unit, was almost three hundred kilograms.
At Blue Star.
It is basically impossible for an individual to carry a weight of 300 kilograms and still move freely, tossing and turning without being affected; but in this world, the emergence of martial arts and inner energy has made this kind of thing normal.
What He Zhong practices is a sword technique called "Five Tigers Water Dividing Knife".
This is also the martial arts he acquired in the martial arts hall when he was young.
Five Tigers Water Splitting Knife.
The name sounds very popular and ordinary.
But it is already a martial arts that many people dream of.
The "Five Tigers Water Dividing Sword" includes mental skills, footwork and the most important sword technique. If you have enough qualifications and perseverance, it is not impossible to advance to the innate level through this sword technique.
Except for the lack of light skills for long-distance attacks, it can be said to be a complete set of martial arts classics.
An ordinary guard like Huang Tie.
I dream of owning a set of martial arts secrets like this.
The first sword of the Bailian Ring was in He Zhong's hand like an arm. The cold sword light flashed in the void, and afterimages almost appeared.
"Although it is possible to rely on the 'Five Tigers Water Dividing Knife' to advance to Xiantian, the time is too slow. It will take at least more than ten years. He simply can't wait. Moreover, the 'Five Tigers Water Dividing Knife' is not a profound martial arts. Innately, the actual combat ability is not strong, so you must abandon your sword and replace it with a sword."
Although He Zhong is practicing his sword skills.
But what was on his mind was something completely unrelated to sword skills.
recently.
Because of He Bei's spiritual root awakening, the entire He Family Fort was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Especially He Zhong, who had a certain relationship with He Bei, also received some attention. For example, he was forced to marry Xiao Cui because of He Bei's influence. Impact.
In order to prevent He Jiabao from being hostile to him.
He Zhong has never done anything extraordinary.
Now that such a long time has passed, he is still married to Xiaocui, and the attention from the superiors on him has decreased, and some of his plans can begin to unfold.
first.
Naturally, he started practicing the "Ten Injury Sword Technique".
Only this swordsmanship can allow him to achieve innate talent in a short period of time, and his actual combat ability is no less than that of other veteran innate masters.
The improvement in strength will give He Zhong the confidence to deal with He Bei.
so.
He needs to practice the "Ten Injury Sword Technique" without being noticed by outsiders.
Originally, He Zhong had planned it.
Find a foreign assignment, apply to be transferred out of Hejiabao, and practice the "Ten Injury Sword Technique" in other places.
but now.
He had a better plan again.
Although Xiao Cui was unforgiving, she was right about one thing. Thanks to this marriage, under the instruction of Mrs. Liu, He Zhong was promoted to the rank of first-class guard.
Take it literally.
Only one level higher than a second-class guard.
But in fact, the authority of first-class guards is far beyond that of second-class guards.
The two are not the same class at all.
In Hejiabao, the second-class guards are low-level members and are dispensable. They can be regarded as high-level executors at best; while the first-class guards have truly stepped into the middle class. In some unimportant tasks, First-class guards already have the right to make their own decisions.
After being promoted to first-class guard.
He Zhong then had an opportunity to go to the Cangwu Pavilion to choose martial arts.
He planned to take the opportunity to go to the Zangwu Pavilion to choose a swordsmanship in a few days, and practice the "Ten Injury Swordsmanship" in a fair and honest manner, on the grounds that his swordsmanship had not improved yet and he wanted to learn by analogy through swordsmanship.
——
——
A few days after He Zhong and Xiao Cui got married.
He Zhong got the news that He Bei left Hejiapu through some gossip.
He Bei walked silently.
in the news from the outside world.
He Bei just went to other places to take charge of Hejiabao's business.
But in the eyes of a caring person like He Zhong, it is not difficult to tell where He Bei went.
The only one that deviated from what He Zhong thought.
Just as Xiaocui said at the beginning, He Bei would leave Hejiabao in three months. Now, He Bei has already left in less than two months.
certainly.
This is just a small section.
What worries He Zhong even more.
In addition to He Bei, her mother, Mrs. Liu, also disappeared with He Bei in Hejiapu.
It's not hard to guess.
It is possible that Mrs. Liu is worried about her daughter.
So he followed He Bei to the place where he cultivated immortality.
No wonder he so firmly refuses Xiao Cui to follow He Bei.
Presumably, even if ordinary mortals can go to that place to cultivate immortality, there must be certain restrictions, especially the number of people.
It is very possible that Mrs. Liu kicked Xiao Cui away so that she could follow He Bei.
With Mrs. Liu’s scheming and wisdom.
He must be a powerful helper on He Bei's path to immortality.
He Zhong had some regrets.
If possible, of course he would also like to be closer to He Bei. No one understands the principle of first-come-first-served.
pity.
He had no reason to follow He Bei.
After He Bei left Hejiapu.
What He Zhong can do now.
Just wait.
Wait for the right opportunity.
After all, He Bei was born in Hejiabao, so the relationship with Hejiabao cannot be severed.
While waiting.
He Zhong must practice the "Ten Injury Sword Technique" as soon as possible to enhance his martial arts strength and improve his status in Hejiabao.
Wait until he reaches a certain height in Hejiabao.
Naturally, I will come into contact with He Bei again.
When he has enough strength, he will have the confidence to plan He Bei.
worst plans.
It's just that He Bei died before He Zhong could grow up; or He Bei was extremely talented in cultivating immortality, and in just a few years, his cultivation far exceeded the limit of He Zhong's martial arts.
These extreme situations really happen.
He Zhong asked himself that he couldn't stop it.
He could only think of other plans.
Think about it this way.
It's not a bad thing for Mrs. Liu to follow He Bei, at least it improves He Bei's chances of survival. Moreover, since Mrs. Liu is not in Hejiapu, there is one less person to pay attention to He Zhong, so he can act more confidently.
