In Canglan Mansion, on the day when the new bounty list was announced, many martial arts masters gathered at the entrance of major bookshops early. Most of these people were in the third martial arts scene, and some masters were mixed among them.
The road in the world is not that easy, and it is not as carefree and passionate as the storytellers say. In the final analysis, it is just another group of people's firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, money is needed.
Official bounties are the most reasonable way to earn money. Of course, there are many other ways to offer bounties, such as sects and private individuals, but that is called assassination. Compared with the unknown origin of the assassination mission and the suspiciousness of the information, the official bounty is It looks particularly 'beautiful'.
The freshly baked bounties were sold out immediately, and you can still smell the rich fragrance of ink on them when you open them.
"Have a look to see if there are any new rewards."
"Yes, there are quite a few. This issue's bounty list is very good, with a total of 274 people added."
"The reward for the number one on the list has been increased again, and now it's one million taels of silver."
"Not only the first place, but also the others have increased a lot. I don't know who can complete it. Once the reward is completed, I will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of my life." There was a sigh from the crowd.
Just think about this kind of thing, they are actually very good at 13, let alone the top ten bounties on the list. As long as they can survive three rounds on the bounty list, basically no one is willing to get into trouble. Those are all tough things.
The big waves wash away the sand, and what comes out is the shining golden strength.
Qi Jingchu bought the next volume and did not follow the others to gather together. Instead, she went straight to the other side and started reading. She directly skipped the top 100 bounties and quickly scanned down. She was very purposeful and picked the Location, he was going to Cangzhou to take up a post this time, and he was looking for rewards that could be found near Cangzhou or on the way to Cangzhou.
Frowning, he took out the ink pen from the treasure bag at his waist and marked the target.
The tip of the pen suddenly hovered over a person's name, "Yanshi?"
Cao An, eighteen years old, is a third-level Yanshi or above. His strength is unknown. He last appeared in Qianye Town. This ruthless man once massacred dozens of ordinary people in Qianye Town and then left. Bounty: one hundred taels of silver.
'It seems that Yanshi of level three or above should be more careful. '
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. She put away her bounty, and like a dragon, she passed through the crowd and attacked a lean man in ragged clothes. She grabbed his wrist with one hand and twisted it back.
It was an ugly man with malignant sores on his face. He was caught by someone. Feeling the power coming from his wrist, he yelled with anger and guilt: "What are you going to do?"
Qi Jingchu ignored him and called a woman, "Hey, miss, stop for a moment."
After saying that, he took out a money bag and threw it over like a magic trick, "Let's see if this is your money bag."
The woman hurriedly caught the money bag, staggered and almost fell. Then she touched her waist and found that the money bag hanging on it was gone. The money bag in her hand was not hers or someone else's. This was her father's life-saving money. She really couldn't imagine what she would do if the money was lost.
"Thank you, Heroine. Thank you, Heroine."
Qi Jingchu waved her hands, feeling a little unhappy with the looks from around her, and dragged the man to the other side.
"Who are you trying to do? You even dare to meddle in the affairs of my Liuhe Gang. Are you tired of living? If you are capable, leave your name!"
"I, Qi Jingchu, come with me to the Yamen now."
As soon as he heard the woman's name, the ugly man's head drooped, with a stern look on his face, "It turns out that the Iron-faced God is arresting Mr. Qi. I don't have eyes to see Taishan. I don't need you to follow me. I'll go to the Yamen to take the blame myself."
Qi Jingchu let him go, not worrying that he would dare to escape. None of the people she arrested in Canglan Mansion dared to escape. And he was indeed in a hurry to go to Cangzhou, so he immediately waved for him to leave.
The ugly man nodded and bowed and left, heading towards the Yamen.
Under the current rule, there are many great catchers, but there are not many great catchers who are selfless and have a strong sense of justice. Generally, such catchers are killed before they become great catchers. Of course, there are some smart people who will be cowardly and wait to become the master catcher. But when he becomes the master catcher, he will find that he is no longer selfless.
It's not that his original intention has changed, but that he has gone deep into the quagmire, and the intricate fetters have tightly bound him. If he wants to be unselfish, the first person who should be unselfish is himself.
Qi Jingchu is different because she has a father that no one dares to mess with.
…
Dawuguan is a real pass town. Compared with it, the high wall of Qianye Town is like a child's toy. It cuts across Cangzhou and Canglan Prefecture. Cao An and his two people walked here. It was already dark. They stopped and walked. After many months and miles, we finally saw the city gate.
Along the way, the two of them rarely stopped in the city except for supplies. Firstly, Cao An found it inconvenient to practice, and secondly, he deliberately wanted to reduce contact with others.
The familiar and heavy-handed person was setting up the fire, while Cao An was practicing on the boulder near the river. His boxing frame was spread out, and his bearing was just like those old boxers who had been raped for decades.
The punches are like the wind, and the experience of two lifetimes has produced incredible miraculous effects in this world.
Cao An practices Xingyi Mother Boxing, also known as Xingyi Five Elements. When he makes split fists, his power reaches Zhongfu and Yunmen, and his Qi penetrates Shaoshang. It is completely different from the confused and specious feeling in his previous life. Cao An really feels that I felt as if I was in water, and the stagnation and pull brought about by every move, punch and kick was extremely obvious.
The Qi and power in the body flow, and the hair orifices all over the body are smooth and transparent; the fists are turned over and collapsed in one breath, and the hands are moved back and forth. Suddenly, there is a feeling of thick arms and big fists, comfortable ribs, and light steps...
The inspirations in his mind converged, and a shadow appeared on its own, and it struck with fists and steps.
The fist in Cao An's hand changed, and he faced this unexpected enemy. His aura turned into practice, and a breeze wrapped up in the plains, gathering at Cao An's side. He Shen, who was busy at the same time, also saw this scene, stopped what he was doing, and looked towards There was a hint of envy in Cao An's eyes.
This is a sudden enlightenment, a sudden enlightenment in the martial arts, and the world and the earth are inspired by the thought. This is the time when the world and the earth are all working together.
If nothing unexpected happens, after this experience, Cao An will be able to perfectly integrate his skills and step into the second scene of martial arts, the realm of blood and energy.
As the 'battle' intensified, Cao An no longer adhered to form and meaning, and the moves in his hands lacked some traces of tricks. His moves were like antelopes hanging horns, and his movements were unconstrained, but his purpose remained unchanged, and the root of his strength was still born out of Xingyi, just no longer stick to moves.
At this moment, he felt as clear as ever in his mind, like glass that had been wiped clean of dust, with grasping, form, meaning, and finger pointing intertwined.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became. If at the beginning, he had a way to deal with the moves alone, then in less than a quarter of an hour, he discovered that at this moment, he actually did not face Cao An's attack. courage.
This dance didn't stop until the silver moon hung high in the sky, and he stopped and stood contentedly. He could clearly feel the difference in himself, whether it was his body or his momentum.
That breeze is not just a background. The transformation of the physical body and the rapid development of muscle groups come from it. The energy comes from it, nourishing the physical body until the blood and energy are self-generated at the limit. In this current state, if there are ghosts, ordinary ghosts will die if they approach. At least, according to records That's what he said.
The blood and energy are surging, and ghosts and gods are changing things.
Cao An, who stood firm on his feet, fell straight into the stream, took a refreshing bath, and then came ashore.
"You haven't eaten yet, are you waiting for me?"
"You're not hungry either, Brother Cao, are you in your second scene now?"
Cao An nodded. It took more than a month to step into the second scene. It was just like what he imagined. It was not much different. He originally estimated that he would be able to step into the second scene in two months. Sometimes he seriously doubted the world. The vitality of heaven and earth is mixed with the principles of martial arts. It depends on each person's practice to comprehend, select and integrate them. Otherwise, it would not be so fast.
"Oh, by the way, what level have you reached before?"
"I am in the third stage of martial arts, the Qi Condensation stage, but now with the weakening of Qi and blood, I can barely be considered the second stage."
"Eat and take a good rest. Tomorrow we will pass through Dawuguan and enter the territory of Cangzhou."
At this moment, a man came over holding a horse, "How about adding me?"
The tone was cold, but it was not difficult to tell that it was a woman's voice.
The woman was dressed in red official attire, with a knife hanging on the saddle, and a piece of brown linen wrapped around her body, covering most of her head and cheeks, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
When she came forward, she tore off the linen cloth, shook it, and raised a fine dust. Then she neatly folded it and placed it on the saddle, and casually tied the reins to the wooden stake on the side.
But he took the knife off easily.
Zhan Zhan looked ugly and was about to stand up, but was pushed down by Cao An, "I made a bit too much, I really can't finish it. It's okay if my friends can help me."
Qi Jingchu hummed, took the bowl and chopsticks naturally, and ate without saying a word.
She ate very elegantly, in a way that was pleasing to the eye. Cao An felt that her appearance should be a factor, otherwise, no matter how good-looking she was when eating alone, she would not look good.
She didn't eat much, so she only ate one bowl, but Cao An and Shen Zhong cleaned the rest carelessly and patted their bellies.
"Little Fatty, I'll leave the cleaning to you. I'm so tired after having a full meal!"
"Brother Cao..."
Cao An reassured him, "Go, go!"
Weighing the pots and bowls heavily, he turned back three times and walked towards the stream.
"My friend, you've eaten this meal. Why do you want to do it? You might as well just tell me."
"Are you Cao An?"
"It's me, but I don't remember any interactions with your friend."
Qi Jingchu stood up and said, "The intersection is not important. From now on, you will remember me. I am Qi Jingchu, formerly Canglan Prefecture Yamen Xuan Yibao, now Cangzhou Prefecture Yamen Zhu Yibao. Cao An, you bully the weak." , killing ordinary people in Chiba Town has violated the laws of our court!"
"Dozens of people are dead. If you don't want to repent and try to escape, you should be killed according to the laws of this dynasty!"
Cao An touched his nose. He didn't want to explain anything. The situation of this world has determined the unfairness and limitations of its so-called laws. He was just a little curious as to who gave him this crime.
If you involve yourself in the power of the imperial court, the road ahead in Cangzhou may not be easy.
He bowed his hands and said, "It turns out to be a court eagle dog, disrespectful!"
"Cao An, are you making yourself uncomfortable?"
Cao An kicked the small mound in front of Fei Fei, "Who is making someone uncomfortable? You are a court agent, not a wanderer. I have dozens of lives on my hands. Have you verified it? Where did the information come from? Come? You came to arrest me. Have you never considered an unjust, false or wrongful conviction?"
"Where were you when the wealthy and powerful family caused the tragic death of tens of thousands of people for their own selfish interests? Do you still feel that you are particularly righteous? What you did was sacred and glorious?"
Qi Jingchu frowned slightly, but she was not the one who could change others' opinions with just a few words, otherwise she would not have gained such a big name in Canglan Mansion.
"It is up to someone to investigate the case. This arrest is only responsible for bringing you to justice. Cao An, are you going to surrender or wait for me to take action?"
"Feng Yuxiu, Ip Man, Huang Feihong."
When Cao An finished speaking, three figures were guarding him. He himself slowly stepped aside with a calm expression, "Little Fatty, are you okay? Let's pack up and rest somewhere."
Qi Jingchu was so angry that the veins on her forehead were a little prominent. She had a stern look on her face, but she couldn't pull away. Yanshi is so shameless. The current Cao An is not the Cao An who was in Shifang before. He is surrounded by heavy people. Even if he cannot exert his full strength, he can still make short moves to make up for his original shortcomings.
As long as he wasn't killed instantly, Cao An would have a chance to sacrifice his puppet. These three are all made on the road. They are not exquisite, but they are better in quantity.
On the other hand, Qi Jingchu became more and more frightened as she fought. These were clearly three third-level puppets, but their fighting skills were at their peak. They were so difficult to deal with that she could only parry.
I can't even say a harsh word...
