This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 119: The people have no guilt, no regrets

10 month 19 day.

The bandits who had attacked Luojia Town two days ago attacked Tushan Town on the same day. This is also a town near Xingcheng.

Naturally, there are no city guards in these towns. There is only one inspection station with more than 30 inspectors.

Such defense force can only guarantee the basic public security of the town, but is powerless against large groups of horse bandits.

So after Luojia Town, Tushan Town also sent a rescue signal to Xingcheng.

Xingcheng Government Hall, Director General’s Office.

"We sent out so many spies, but not a single one came back?"

Gu Zhenhui looked at Cheng Bi angrily and questioned him.

Cheng Bi lowered his head: "Yes, the other party may have a master in charge."

After the incident of the horse bandits, Gu Zhenhui took it very seriously and immediately asked the Supervisory Council to send spies to gather intelligence, hoping to find out the strengths and weaknesses of these horse bandits and their whereabouts, so that he could send troops to eliminate them.

But none of the dozens of spies sent out in the past few days came back alive, and all of them disappeared without a trace.

"It's so obvious, is it really the work of the Tiger Blade Gang?"

Gu Zhenhui's face was gloomy.

When he was suppressing the Tiger Knife Gang, some horse bandits suddenly appeared. He naturally suspected that these horse bandits were sent by the Tiger Knife Gang in order to lure the city guards out of the city.

The City Guards are the most relied-upon armed force in Gu Zhenhui's hands. Once something goes wrong with the City Guards, he will be like a general without his soldiers in Xingcheng, and will no longer be able to suppress the Tiger Blade Gang.

So Gu Zhenhui would certainly not send troops out of the city easily. He had to figure out the situation first.

As a result, none of the spies sent out returned.

This actually dispelled Gu Zhenhui's doubts, making him almost certain that the Tiger Knife Gang was behind this group of horse thieves!
"Could it be that Yu Hu had already made arrangements several years in advance and raised such a group of horse thieves in the Qiuping Mountains?"

Gu Zhenhui frowned and thought.

The group of horse thieves in the Qiuping Mountains existed five years ago. If the horse thieves who came to Xingcheng to cause trouble were from the Qiuping Mountains, it would mean that the Tiger Blade Gang had started planning five years ago.

"Sir, I have learned in detail that the group of horse thieves in the Qiuping Mountains has about 200 people, hundreds of trained horses, dozens of powerful crossbows and dozens of firearms. It is impossible to have no traces at all to support so many people and horses, and to provide weapons and ammunition. However, the Supervisory Office has not found any connection between the Tiger Blade Gang and the Qiuping Mountains in the past few years."

Cheng Bi spoke quickly.

He didn't believe that the Tiger Blade Gang could completely hide the fact that they were keeping so many people outside from the Inspectorate. If that was true, then he and his colleagues in the Inspectorate could all resign!
"Well, the Tiger Blade Gang has no connection with the Qiuping Mountains, but that doesn't mean others don't have any."

Gu Zhenhui believed in Cheng Bi's judgment and the ability of the Supervisory Council, but he still felt that the group of horse thieves in the Qiuping Mountains were related to the Tiger Blade Gang:

"How is the investigation of [Han Jiang Xue] going?"

Now we know that the Taoist foundation constructed by Yu Hu is [Han Jiang Xue]. As long as we can find out which forces have mastered the method of practicing this Taoist foundation and are likely to pass it on to outsiders, we can infer which force is likely to support the Tiger Blade Gang behind the scenes.

"I am incompetent. I have searched all the forces in Datong Prefecture that have the Dao-based cultivation methods, but I have not been able to find any that have the cultivation method of [Han Jiang Xue]. Please forgive me, sir."

Cheng Bi knelt down on one knee and apologized to Gu Zhenhui.

"No?"

Gu Zhenhui stood up anxiously and paced back and forth in the office.

He rarely showed his emotions like this because he didn't like the feeling of being out of control.

Next, if the horse bandits outside the city continue to harass the towns around Xingcheng, and Gu Zhenhui has no way to track the bandits, then he can only send the city guards to garrison in these towns to resist the attacks of the horse bandits.

But doing so would give the other side the opportunity to defeat us one by one.

If he leaves it alone, it means that the chief, Gu Zhenhui, is incompetent and unable to guarantee the safety of the people in the country. At that time, Yu Hu only needs to create public opinion and let his officials report the matter to the higher authorities to alarm Datong Prefecture.

Even if Gu Zhenhui does not resign directly at that time, he will definitely not have an easy time.

Therefore, whether troops are sent or not, Gu Zhenhui will fall into the trap.

This is a conspiracy!

"Yu Hu, without Zhang Mingze, can you still do this?"

Gu Zhenhui walked to the window and looked in the direction of Yu Mansion:

"Or was this move actually planned by Zhang Mingze before his death?"

Lecture on martial arts hall.

In the training room of the training building, Hao Yi was fighting with Li Fei.

Li Fei still had his eyes blindfolded and his ears blocked, relying entirely on his perception to fight Hao Yi.

Both of them attacked and moved very quickly, the two steel knives kept colliding to create sparks, and the blades left afterimages!

Now, under Hao Yi's training, Li Fei has become completely familiar with fighting with others purely by relying on his perception ability. It is as if he has opened his "mind's eyes". Even if he loses his vision and hearing, he can still clearly "see" everything around him and accurately grasp Hao Yi's every move.

Not only that, the biggest benefit his super perception ability brings him is - prediction!
Every time before Hao Yi drew his sword, Li Fei would have a mysterious feeling in his heart, which allowed him to predict how Hao Yi would draw his sword next.

Hao Yi originally asked Li Fei to build his own combat system with the supernatural ability of "danger perception" as the core. Now Li Fei has tasted the sweetness and feels more and more that this supernatural ability is really useful!

Of course, his swordsmanship is far inferior to Hao Yi's, but with the advantage of anticipating the enemy, he can fight with Hao Yi evenly when Hao Yi intentionally suppresses his speed and strength.

In addition, relying on the excellent defensive power of "Ba Ti", Li Fei can also launch a defensive counterattack by predicting Hao Yi's moves, which is also accurate.

While playing, Li Fei suddenly sensed that a large group of people appeared in the corridor outside and were walking towards this practice room.

At the same time, Hao Yi also stopped attacking.

So Li Fei took off his blindfold, took out the cotton in his ears, and looked towards the door of the training room.

At this time, he could clearly hear a series of footsteps outside.

Soon, the person outside stopped outside the door of the training room, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Hao, excuse me, Chief Gu is here to visit you."

The voice of the new leader of the Martial Arts Hall came from outside the door.

After the previous hall master Li Shengjiang was arrested, Gu Zhenhui quickly arranged a new hall master. Now the Military Academy is finally in the hands of the chief general and his faction has the final say.

"Gu Zhenhui is here?"

Li Fei was a little surprised to hear the voice and turned to look at Hao Yi.

Hao Yi said calmly: "Go open the door."

So Li Fei walked to the door and opened it.

There was a group of people standing outside the door, and the leader was Gu Zhenhui.

"Chief Gu."

Li Fei saluted Gu Zhenhui.

"Haha, Xiaofei, we meet again."

Gu Zhenhui smiled heartily at Li Fei.

Then he walked into the training room and turned to the people outside and said:

"It's all gone."

So the people outside quickly dispersed.

"Director Gu, then I will..." Li Fei was about to say that he would also step aside and let Gu Zhenhui and Hao Yi talk alone, but Gu Zhenhui waved his hand:

"Xiao Fei, you stay. There's no need to avoid it."

"Yes."

Li Fei nodded and closed the door.

Gu Zhenhui then looked at Hao Yi and said sincerely:
"Mr. Hao, I apologize for disturbing you."

"Director Gu, you don't have to be polite. If you have something to say, just speak directly."

Even when facing a general manager, Hao Yi remained very calm and spoke directly.

This is the confidence of a strong person in the Dao Foundation Stage.

Gu Zhenhui didn't mind this either. He said in a deep voice:

"In recent days, horse bandits have been harassing towns around Xingcheng. I have sent more than 30 spies from the Supervisory Council to investigate the bandits, but none of them came back alive! I suspect there is a master behind this bandit, and he has big plans!"

Hao Yi looked at Gu Zhenhui expressionlessly:
"So Chief Gu wants me to go out of the city to find the whereabouts of this horse bandit?"

This is the only possibility. Otherwise, why would the general manager condescend to come to the martial arts hall in person to ask to see a special lecturer?
Gu Zhenhui nodded:

"If I can't find the trace of the horse bandits, I can only send the city guards out of the city and station them in various towns, but this will give the enemy a chance to defeat them one by one. So I would like to ask Mr. Hao to help the people of Xingcheng find the trace of this horse bandit!"

Having said that, he actually bent down and bowed to Hao Yi!
"I know Mr. Hao doesn't like power struggles and doesn't want to get involved in the dispute between me and the Tiger Blade Gang, but those horse bandits outside the city take away more than a dozen lives every time they attack the town and rob the people of their money. How pitiful are these people?"

Gu Zhenhui bowed to Hao Yi and said excitedly:

"Mr. Hao, even if you hate me and the Tiger Blade Gang, the people have done nothing wrong. Mr. Hao, please help me wipe out these horse bandits!"

Li Fei, who was standing aside, was really disgusted by the Xingcheng chief who was willing to bow down and beg for help in person.

"You, as the chief, failed to protect the people of Xingcheng. Now you come here and shout that the people are innocent. Aren't you just shifting the blame? Aren't you just using moral kidnapping?"

Li Fei really wanted to shout these words to Gu Zhenhui.

Unfortunately, on this occasion, he could only remain silent.

Hao Yi looked at Gu Zhenhui, and was not moved by his attitude or words. He said coldly:
"If you really felt that the people were innocent, you wouldn't have let the city guards engage in a fierce battle with the Tiger Blade Gang in the city."

Gu Zhenhui's face froze.

He had repeatedly shown goodwill to Li Fei in order to win over Hao Yi through Li Fei, but he did not expect Hao Yi to be so ruthless.

Fortunately, he was prepared for this.

He slowly stood up and looked at Hao Yi:

"Mr. Hao misunderstood me. If I don't do that, how can I eradicate the cancer of the Tiger Blade Gang? This cancer has long been rooted in Xingcheng's body, sucking Xingcheng's blood and flesh every day. How can I get rid of it without going through excruciating pain?"

Hao Yi: "If the Tiger Blade Gang is a cancer, then what are those people under you? Didn't they suck the blood and flesh of Xingcheng? Otherwise, why would their heads be cut off and placed at the entrance of the market?"

Gu Zhenhui was not angry when he heard this, but smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Excuse me, Mr. Hao, you know martial arts, but you don't know how to be an official or political affairs. On the surface, I am the chief minister, the head of a city, and it seems that everyone should listen to me, but in fact, the government of Xingcheng has long been corrupted by the Tiger Blade Gang. If I want to do something, I must have the support of the people below. So how can I get their support? Rely on the majesty of the chief minister? Or rely on the morality in their hearts?"

"No, Mr. Hao. If I want to do something, I must first lure them with benefits, whether it's money or official positions, so that the people below can lend me their power. I can only rely on them to defeat the Tiger Blade Gang first, and then I can turn around and clean up the officialdom of Xingcheng and restore Xingcheng's innocence!"

"Don't I know there are many corrupt officials among my officials? But if we want to accomplish great things, we have to put these minor details aside. What else can we do? Am I going to let the Tiger Blade Gang completely control the Xingcheng government with their tricks?"

Gu Zhenhui looked at Hao Yi with extremely sincere eyes:

"Mr. Hao, what I said today is truly from the bottom of my heart! I know you may not believe me, but Mr. Hao, please wait and see what I do after I eliminate the Tiger Blade Gang. If I still can't clear Xingcheng's name, then let that Green-Faced Ghost chop off my head with a single blow!"

Hearing this, Hao Yi's eyes finally showed some fluctuations.

Li Fei on the side wanted to say something several times but hesitated, and finally remained silent and waited for Hao Yi to make his own decision.

Hao Yi looked at Gu Zhenhui and said word by word:

"If you want to achieve great things, you don't care about small details? Those small details you let go of contain lives and real lives. They are not small details, so I don't agree with your statement."

The expression on Gu Zhenhui's face froze.

However, before he could speak, Hao Yi continued:
“But I will take action.”

"Ok?"

Gu Zhenhui looked at Hao Yi in surprise, then bowed again and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, Mr. Hao!"

A gentleman can be deceived.

Zhang Mingze from the Tiger Blade Gang was very clear about this principle, so when he forced Hao Yi's students to death, he was not worried about being retaliated by Hao Yi.

Gu Zhenhui was obviously very clear about this, so he took the initiative to find Hao Yi today and begged him to take action.

Although Hao Yi's final attitude was not what Gu Zhenhui expected, it would be enough as long as Hao Yi was willing to take action.

"you can go now."

Hao Yi said to Gu Zhenhui bluntly.

"Okay, then I won't bother you."

Gu Zhenhui didn't mind Hao Yi's rudeness at all and turned around and left the training room.

After Gu Zhenhui left, Li Fei spoke:

"Teacher, this matter."

"If you were me, would you do it?"

Hao Yi turned to look at Li Fei and asked with interest.

Li Fei thought for a moment, looked into Hao Yi's eyes, and said slowly:
"When the Supervisor Cheng from the Supervisory Council came to see me, my teacher told me: You don't need to ask me, just do what you think is right."

"Now I also want to say to the teacher, there is no need to ask me, just do what you think is right!"

Hao Yi was startled, then burst into laughter:

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The last time he laughed so loudly in front of Li Fei was when he heard Li Fei say "seize the day".

He was willing to take action, not for Gu Zhenhui, nor for the common people mentioned by the other party, but for the morality in his heart.

He doesn't care what others think, he just wants to have a clear conscience!

However, what Li Fei said at this time still made Hao Yi feel very comforted.

At least this student understands himself.

"This incident is very strange. It is very likely that the Tiger Blade Gang is behind this. I just hope that the teacher can act carefully and take care of himself!"

Li Fei said to Hao Yi with concern.

"rest assured."

Hao Yi rarely showed his high spirits in front of Li Fei:

"In this Xingcheng territory, if I want to leave, no one can stop me!"
