My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 125 Exposed
"The plan has fallen through," Chen Mu sighed.

"I'm definitely not suited for infiltration."

Black smoke billowed from his palm, and the "Bone and Face Analysis" text vanished.

He glanced back at Old Man Ding and his companion chatting by the door.

He looked up again at the spiral staircase.

Chen Mu silently placed his hand on the bookshelf, and billowing black smoke quietly spread.

Half an hour later, Chen Mu left in a hurry with a dark expression on his face.

Inside the Five Ghosts Bag, there were dozens of medical books, poison manuals, and sword and weapon manuals.

The entrance to the Wuzi Battalion's garrison.

"Brother Song, call your brothers, let's go to Chunfeng Tower and have some fun!" Old Man Ding said with a beaming smile.

"I won't disturb your enjoyment; please go and have some fun."

After all, if you don't live life to the fullest now, you might never have the chance to do so again.

After seeing off the cheerful old man Ding, Chen Mu turned back to look at the vermilion gate.

"It seems we are destined to be apart."

After what happened with Xing Laoliu, he dared not stay in the inner city military camp anymore.

It's fine now, but what if someone exposes it?

"Third-order shapeshifting technique is still not enough."

……

Evening, the magistrate's office in the inner city. Inside the clerk's office next to the storeroom.

The chubby Manager Chen, who should have been off work and resting, stood in the room with a troubled expression.

Several candles, each as thick as a child's arm, were lit around the room, illuminating it brightly.

Zong Tai sat in the head seat with a gloomy expression.

He stared intently at Old Man Ding, who was kneeling in the center of the room: "What is the background of this Song Jiang?"

"They are bandits from Liangshan in the north." Old Man Ding, with a bruised and swollen face and wearing only a thin shirt, dared not hide the truth.

He was enjoying himself at Chunfeng Tower when he was suddenly punched unconscious as soon as he climbed into bed.

Naked, I was dragged out of bed, only managing to grab a single piece of clothing to cover myself, before being brought here.

"Where is Liangshan?" Zong Tai took a deep breath.

The loss of dozens of medical books, poison manuals, and sword and weapon manuals from the library is nothing unusual.

Just ask that person for it back. And if you pay enough, you might even be allowed to make a copy for them to keep.

But after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find Song Jiang!
"The other party is a hero from Liangshan, didn't you know?" Old Man Ding looked astonished.

Zong Tai looked bewildered: "Heroes of Liangshan? Are they that famous?"

"The 108 heroes of Liangshan who ate large chunks of meat, drank from large bowls, and divided gold by the scale. You don't know them?!" Old Man Ding looked incredulous.

Zongtai looked at Manager Chen with a bewildered expression: "Do you know?"

The chubby Manager Chen: "Do...should I know?"

"What on earth is going on?!" Zong Tai suddenly had a bad feeling.

Old Man Ding also sensed something was wrong and dared not hide his actions over the past few days.

Zong Tai's face grew increasingly grim as he listened: "You're saying they all went to the Wuzi Camp?"

"Yes, I personally delivered it in!" Old Ding quickly and confidently asserted.

“But in the last four days, not a single person has gone to report to the Wuzi Camp!” Zong Tai glared fiercely at Old Man Ding.

He understood perfectly well.

Old Man Ding was tricked by those people!

I was tricked by those people!

Right under his nose, those people brazenly stole four manuals on physical training and dozens of medical and sword techniques!
I almost leaked the information because of my carelessness.

Chao Tianwang had no choice but to attack the city ahead of schedule, narrowly avoiding a major disaster, which is why he was punished by being sent to guard the library.

Now another mishap has occurred...

Thinking about the possibility of being further ostracized, Zongtai's eyes turned red!
"You greedy old hag...you deserve to die!"

With a snap, Zongtai crushed the armrest of the seat into pieces!
Old Man Ding was so frightened that his face turned as white as paper, and he collapsed to the ground.

Manager Chen's fat jiggled, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. He had been paid too.

Feeling Zong Tai's murderous gaze fixed on him, Manager Chen's legs went weak.

Zong Tai took a deep breath, suppressing his murderous urge. He glared fiercely at Chief Chen: "Take men and ransack his house. Men, strip this old bastard naked and hang him on the flagpole outside the sixth office of the yamen!"

"Give him the best food and drink, don't let him die, hang him up for a month!"

"I'll let those cunning petty officials know that anyone who dares to shamelessly try to make money will not only lose their money, but also their reputation!"

Two soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers, tearing the old man's clothes in two swift movements.

He grabbed the other person's thin, bony arm, ignoring their whimpering and struggling, and dragged them out of the room like a dead dog.

"If you hadn't married the third brother's sister, I would have hung you up there," Zong Tai said coldly, staring at the chubby Chen, the head steward.

"Thank you, Second Master!" Manager Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Zong Tai glanced at the other person expressionlessly: "Go and confess to Jia Laosan yourself."

“If you really mess up the Heavenly King’s important affairs, even Jia Laosan can’t protect you.”

Manager Chen's face stiffened.

"Don't take any chances. If I can guard the library, what chance do you have?" Zong Tai said calmly.

He immediately got up and left, saying indifferently without turning his head, "Bring me the information on those people."

He had never been tricked like this before.

try to find!
No matter how much effort it takes, we must find it!

……

夜晚
Linhengfang is located on the outskirts of the inner city.

"We can't go back to Taohuafang and Shanglinfang."

The identity information of Chen Mu and Chen Jia is recorded.

If someone were to investigate, they could trace the information back to these two identities.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows, which is still useful."

The house he lives in now is three streets away from the old house in Linhengfang.

He even used a small paper doll to check the house opposite the old one, only to find it long since deserted.

"If I had a grand mansion to live in, I wouldn't want to live in this tiny house either," Chen Mu thought to himself as he sipped his tea.

He uttered three syllables and activated the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell.

Black smoke billowed, and dozens of books were suddenly piled up on the desk.

Chen Mu meticulously sorted and categorized the books one by one.

"Twenty-seven medical and poison books, and I can continue practicing medicine-making techniques. I'll set aside an hour before bedtime."

Chen Mu continued flipping through the pages.

"Three swordplay manuals and two hidden weapon manuals. They can only be used to broaden one's knowledge."

The items weren't bad, but they weren't very useful for fourth-tier iron lotus seeds and hidden swords. At most, they could broaden his horizons.

"The first floor is ultimately lacking."

He brought these two books just to make up the numbers.

After all, with so many martial arts manuals on display, it would feel like a waste not to take a couple.

Chen Mu put both away: "I'll watch them when I have time, otherwise I won't."

"Seven volumes of secret records of the martial arts world. This is good, I have something to pass the time."

If he hadn't been worried that too many empty spaces on the bookshelf would alert the middle-aged guard, he would have wanted to take even more secrets.

"We need to see what the martial arts world of Liang is like."

He has been in this world for over three years, either staying at home or preparing to move and continue staying home. He has a real lack of understanding of this unfamiliar world.

"These four books are the main attraction." Chen Muxi happily took out four training techniques and couldn't help but flip through them again.

The last book is called "Cloudy Form Refining Technique," which has 108 variations in breathing techniques, and it's quite good.

Compared to the three advanced body-training techniques mentioned earlier, this is somewhat lacking.

But if you train with a kestrel...

Forget it, let's not compare anymore. A little trash will always be a little trash.

"If I do the math, I've actually collected ten manuals of Body Refinement Techniques?!"

Half of them are advanced physical training techniques.

Chen Mu himself was a little surprised.

On such a joyous occasion, how about... Chunfeng Tower?
