C8 Ba zhong county
"These villains dare to act in such a way. They are simply insane." The county magistrate opened the secret letter. With just a few glances, he flipped the table and flew into a rage.
"Milord …" The Head Constable Cai asked intentionally as he lowered his body to look at the county magistrate's slightly pale face.
Liu Qingping waved his hand and said with a serious expression, "This matter is of great importance, I can't make the decision now." Mu Tu, you will leave immediately and deliver this letter to the south side of the city, Ba Zhong County, for your decision. "
With that, the county magistrate sealed the letter again and used red candle oil to return it to Mu Tu.
Mu Tu received the letter and stuffed it into his chest. He turned around and cupped his hands, about to leave, but then he heard the county magistrate gritting his teeth as he said in a trembling voice, "Head Constable Cai, go and take out my Stepping Wind Ink Lion from the horse shed and gift it to Young Constable Mu. You must report this matter to Ba Zhong County as soon as possible. "You guys can leave first. I need to think about something."
"Yes, sir." Everyone excused themselves, leaving the county magistrate to sit in his room and sigh.
...
"Brat, the rivers and lakes are dangerous. Take this Five Tiger Absolute Soul Saber Technique, it is a cultivation technique that was once a famous cultivation technique in the martial arts world. However, it gradually became stained with dust and disappeared into the martial arts world. This time, I will give it to you as a gift. Firstly, I will cover up your family's inherited cultivation technique. Head Constable Cai brought the county magistrate's BMW in front of Mu Tu, who was about to pack his bags, and handed over the reins along with a tattered secret knife manual to Mu Tu.
"Uncle Cai, this …"
"Keep it, it's useful. This Ba Zhong County is rather far from our Guangyuan City, it will take us three days to get there by riding this thousand li horse. Now that the martial arts world has risen again, you need to be careful on the road, and be careful of your safety. "
"Yes," Mu Tu nodded and agreed.
Under the setting sun, Mo Long rode away. However, the child on the back of the horse was still somewhat nervous as he bent over and hugged the Stepping Wind Ink Lion's mane tightly.
"Has this brat never ridden a horse before? "Why does it look so awkward?" Head Constable Cai couldn't help but mutter as he watched the small figure of his back gradually disappear into the distance.
"Are we really just going to let this go?" Suddenly, the sound of the county magistrate coughing came from behind him. The county magistrate sneakily looked around and whispered to the Head Constable Cai.
"It doesn't look like a young master from a large clan, but rather the heir of an old monster. Sir, don't forget that this Guangyuan City is located at the border of the Ku Hai City. "Just a single child, let's first befriend him and have a look!"
"That's true. I really need him to deliver the letter this time." Oh right, go and capture that old thing, Dao Buting's matter is not over yet. " The county magistrate shook his sleeves, lowered his voice, and ordered, before turning to leave.
The Head Constable Cai turned his head towards the blood-red sunset and sighed deeply …
Furthermore, Mu Tu was riding this Stepping Wind Ink Lion all the way to Ba Zhong County, the horse he didn't train with could not even compare to the gentle old horse in Ku Hai City. Mu Tu rubbed his burning thighs, and the corner of his mouth slightly cracked.
The only advantage was that the Stepping Wind Ink Lion was indeed fast, and because of human nature, it would take the initiative to alert the surroundings when resting at night.
After two days of travelling, Mu Tu had already engraved the style of the Five Tiger Soul Breaking Blade into his mind. This blade technique was much better than the average Eight Trigram Knife Technique from fifty years ago. Although it was a dragon set martial art, its techniques were still quite effective. The only requirement was that this blade technique be a heavy blade.
The first form of the Five Tiger Soul Breaking Blade Technique, the White Tiger Leaping River, was used to slash at the opponent. Although this technique looked simple, but if your movement was extremely powerful, then the power of this technique would multiply, and it would be extremely suitable for the current Mu Tu.
The second form of the Five Tiger Soul-Splitting Saber Technique, Dark and Dark. It was a pity that this saber art required the activation of the Five Tigers mental cultivation method and exuded the might of the tiger. However, there were no records of the Five Tigers mental cultivation method in the book. Mu Tu practiced the Tiger Form in the air, but Tiger Intent seemed to be inferior to even the Eight Trigram Knife Technique.
Just as he was getting close to the Ba Zhong County, he met an old man who was selling the porridge and pickled vegetables at the breakfast stand. The dishes only cost two coins, so he rubbed his empty stomach and found a table to sit on.
Just as he was about to eat, he saw a big, sturdy man with three friends shouting at him.
"Old man, you haven't paid your protection fee for the last three months. Since I'm here personally today, you should at least give me some face!" The burly man extended his leg and stepped on the old man's table, revealing the black hair on his leg.
"Boss Huang San, you're a good person. This old man really can't afford to take out that much silver!" The old man lowered his body and was very humble. His face was thin, and there was no color to his skin. Clearly, he was truly poor.
"If you refuse a toast, you will be punished. It seems like you don't want to do business anymore. Men, smash him." The big man kicked the table over and smashed the bowl on it into pieces. A few of the small fry came over to chase them away.
"Eat, eat! Whatever you eat, scram!" The small fry chased away a few tables of customers, and even tried to smash Mu Tu's rice bowl.
Seeing that this fellow was being so unreasonable, Mu Tu wanted to eat something warm but his chopsticks had not even moved. Anger exploded in his heart, and he pulled out the Twilight Knife behind him with a 'whoosh', wanting to do it for justice.
"The brat from there actually dared to harm me, go ahead," a few of the lackeys surrounded Mu Tu, blades in their hands shining brightly.
Mu Tu spun his body, and used the [Five Tiger Soul Breaking Blade] 's first move he had learned, the White Tiger Leap. From time to time, he jumped up and fiercely slashed at the big sized men. As Mu Tu's body spun very quickly, the blades wielding minions were all drawn out by the spinning force.
The big guy, Huang San, was the last to take cover. Just as he took out his huge saber, he received a heavy blow that cracked open his palm and made it hard to grip.
"I'm so angry, you … "If you have the guts, then stay here and wait for laozi to call someone back." After saying that, the Huang Clan Head ran off.
The surrounding customers had already dispersed a long time ago, and there was not a single spectator.
The old man bowed and bowed to Mu Tu, "Old man Bai knows that my benefactor has saved me, if not for my benefactor today, I am afraid that I would have already admitted defeat. My benefactor has nothing to repay my kindness, and my breakfast stall does not have much money to repay my benefactor, but this old man has been buying breakfast all year round, and has received quite a bit of news. If Eunuch has any news on the martial arts path in the future, you can come here to find my old man."
"It's alright. Old man, quickly get up. I'm still hungry here. Can you get me some porridge so that I can eat my fill?" Mu Tu reached out to help the old man up, and said while licking his face.
"Ahh, alright. Little Benefactor, please wait a moment. This old man will serve you a bowl right now." The old man hurriedly took out a big bowl from his carrying pole, filled it with porridge, dug out a big spoonful of side dishes and gave it to Mu Tu.
"Sir, please slow down and eat. If it's not enough, this old man will add more for you." With that, the old man turned around and helped the table that had been pushed to the side.
The crowd gradually returned. In a short while, the old man's tables were filled with people.
Mu Tu ate a big bowl full of food, burped comfortably, and placed two coins on the table, "Elder, I will leave the money here," Without waiting for the old man to speak, he jumped onto his horse and galloped back to Ba Zhong County.
Ba Zhong County City was much bigger than Yu Guanyuan City, and there was a team of yamen runners standing by the huge city gates to inspect it. Mu Tu alighted from the horse security and showed his constable order to the leading bailiff, then stepped into the city.
Compared to Guangyuan City, the inside of the city was much richer. Besides, there were also restaurants and dojos, and the roads were paved with bluestone slabs just like the grounds of Shi Mansion. Compared to Guangyuan City, it looked much cleaner and tidy.
The entrance of the yamen was covered in fine vermilion sand. A pair of tiger heads hung down from the wooden door, looking extremely mighty. Their eyes were glaring with anger and awe-inspiring with majesty, as if they were about to jump out in the next moment. The guards on both sides of the door were staring without blinking.
After displaying the police order badge, Mu Tu openly entered the yamen's main hall, which had a cool breeze, mountain river and ink painting on the back. The County Governor Jiang sat high up in the middle hall, his gaze gentle like jade, but also seemingly able to see far through.
"Subordinate Constable Guangyuan, quick Mu Tu, greets lord. Under the orders of the lord magistrate, I have this letter for you." Mu Tu respectfully saluted the County Governor Lord Jiang and took out a secret letter from his chest pocket to hand to the Lord Jiang.
"Oh?" Lord Jiang took the letter and read it. His expression gradually turned grave, "No wonder why the County Magistrate of Guangyuan City wants to pass this letter to me. This matter is indeed troublesome. How about this, I will arrange some people to investigate and obtain the evidence, and during this period of time, you will stay in the Ba Zhong County to follow our Head Constable Shui to busy yourself for a while! Go and find the Head Constable Shui to report and have them arrange for you. I will have the person in charge of the Household Registration Office look for you and change your domicile. "
Mu Tu lowered his head and agreed, then bowed to take his leave. After looking for a long time, he finally found Head Constable Shui in a small room.
"Oh," At this time, Head Constable Shui was deep in thought. The county governor sent someone to tell me that you captured the King of Thieves, Dao Buting, in Guangyuan City. Coincidentally, I will be making a trip to the Yichang Office in a few days, so the matters here will be temporarily taken care of by you.
Saying that, Head Constable Shui looked at the younger Mu Tu with interest as he pinched Mu Tu's tendons and bones, "Look at your body, it seems like you have cultivated Old Cai's Five Tiger Soul Breaking Blade, but you do not have any internal energy to complement with your body, so it's just a show. This Gui Xi breathing technique is not really a profound inner force skill, so I'll give it to you as a greeting.
