My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 62: The First Lesson in Jianghu

Here, Captain Ding swung his long stick and smashed it down on Master Bai's head.

However, he was just a capable constable in Lin County. Although he was rated above average every year, he could never be a match for a fifth-rank boxer. After just a few moves, he was defeated.

However, in this dynasty, martial arts are flourishing and all kinds of skills are being spread. As a constable is a public office of the state, the court has a complete martial arts system designed specifically for this position, including "Public Security Stick Techniques" and "Security Boxing"!
I saw Lao Ding shaking out the stick, sweeping and wrapping, neither seeking to win nor retreating, but just wrapping around like taffy, and actually making Master Bai unable to win quickly.

Just as he was falling into the wind, there was a violent sound of wind. Captain Ding's deputy, holding double maces in his hands, leaped into the air from behind and chopped down with both maces, smashing over his head.

Master Bai gathered his strength and swung his fist, hitting both of the maces and sending the reckless man flying.

But at this moment, the hook-and-sickle spears on both sides attacked his legs. He retreated calmly, and two constables protected themselves with shields and approached from both sides. The Qi-breaking Cone was specially designed to counter external hard skills and stabbed straight in a fierce manner, forcing him to fight back with his fists. At the same time, two flying hooks had already grabbed his arms.

"ridiculous!"

He changed his position and with a slight guidance, the two flying hooks became entangled and tied together.

However, the two constables who used flying hooks had trained side by side for many years and had a tacit understanding. When the flying hooks were entangled, they were not in a hurry to untie them. Instead, they simultaneously exerted force on their arms and shook the chains. The two entangled hooks then shook and exerted force like giant pythons, dancing wildly in the air, humming, and were thrown from mid-air behind Master Bai.

Immediately, he attacked him from behind, reducing his space for escape.

The sword-and-shield soldiers and the hook-and-sickle soldiers provided cover on both wings, allowing Captain Ding to attack with the cooperation of the double maces. The eight men surrounded the arc-shaped moon, which was a special arc-shaped moon formation designed for the captain's battle group to deal with masters of external martial arts.

The constables are not even considered officials, but they are military men after all and can enjoy the emperor's food and military feasts.

Therefore, in addition to daily work, the boss will train you once a day, train you once every three days, and test you once every five days. If you fail to meet the assessment standards or the training is ineffective, you will be dismissed at any time...

After all, you can eat the royal food! If you don't want to eat it, there are many people who want to eat it!
These seven elite detectives, with Captain Ding as the core, surrounded Master Bai and fought like a spinning lantern.

Their cultivation is nothing compared to that of a fifth-rank warrior, but they have sophisticated weapons, targeted restraint, and have been practicing formations for a long time. The core essence of the martial arts taught by the constables is the word "drag", just like a shameless warrior with mediocre cultivation but who can use his mind to attack with both hands and is good at pestering.

With the sole purpose of delaying the enemy, he actually entangled a fifth-rank master for more than ten rounds!
After fighting for more than a dozen rounds, it was just a short time, and Li Bailong had already rushed over. He saw that the output position was full, so he did not move forward to attack, but stood at the corner, staring at him.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. County Lieutenant Feng Guozhong was leading the way, followed by Mu Qingge, who led a group of county soldiers armed with bows and spears, rushing towards them with great momentum.

Feng Guozhong sat upright on his horse, with a farther vision. Coming from a frontier army background, he could judge the situation quickly and accurately. He immediately saw the situation clearly, urged his horse to seize another position, and with a slight wave of his hand, the county soldiers went their separate ways.

He County's soldiers led everyone to fly onto the roof and took a high position. More than ten county soldiers, half of them holding powerful crossbows and the other half holding heavy bows, each chose their positions with their companions and aimed at Master Bai who was entangled by the captives.

County Lieutenant Feng took out his spear, looked at Li Bailong, raised the spear slightly to signal, and was about to throw the spear over. Seeing that Li Bailong shook his head in rejection, he held the spear in his hand and lightly clamped the horse's belly.

His warhorse was a gift from the Lingyu Sect. It was psychic and ferocious, and knew its master's mind. It could move its own pace, observe the road ahead, and plan a charge route.

Mu Qingge walked around to Li Bailong from the side.

"Brother!" She said succinctly, "I am of humble status, and I am afraid that if I enter the branch of the six major sects, I will not be able to gain people's trust and waste my time, so I went directly to find County Magistrate Feng and asked him to deal with it!"

Indeed, the six major sects have a transcendent status and look down upon others. They would not pay attention to ordinary warriors. If Mu Qingge was the niece of the head master or the seventh uncle, she would have brought people from Xuanyuan Sect or Cao Gang long ago.

Unfortunately not.

As for the identity of the head of the Six Gates, in the eyes of the six major sects, he is nothing but a lackey of the royal family.

Li Bailong nodded and praised: "You did a good job."

Then again.

From the moment she was attacked, every decision and every move this little girl made was to the point. She didn't waste any time or opportunity. This was in stark contrast to her previous foolish and useless appearance caused by the sugar-coated bullets... The family education of this Liushen family is really too good.

He was suspicious and glanced at Mu Qingge, who was unaware of anything. He just focused on the scene and shouted, "Ah, Brother, this thief is pestering these constables!"

indeed.

Li Bailong has been observing the scene and the situation has changed a long time ago.

When the attacker saw the reinforcements coming, he instead engaged in close combat, entangled Captain Ding and his crew, forcing them to be unable to escape. As a result, the eight constables actually became his human shields. Not only were the archers unable to shoot arrows, but even Li Bailong and Feng Guozhong, the most skilled in martial arts, found it difficult to get in easily.

Although the detectives could temporarily stalemate with the opponent, the opponent was, after all, a fifth-grade boxer, whose strength and experience far exceeded those of this group of grassroots civil servants. After a long battle, they would inevitably be vulnerable.

"He wants to take Captain Ding hostage."

Li Bailong took a look and immediately made a judgment, signaling Feng Guozhong to prepare for a charge.

Who would have thought that although Master Bai was fighting with several people, part of his energy was always focused on Li Bailong. When he saw him winking at the county lieutenant on the other side, he knew that the other party had made a decision.

He shouted loudly, and used both arms to grab and push. Captain Ding felt a numbness in the palm of his hand, and his stick flew into the air. He then saw the opponent's five fingers like hooks, grabbing at his chest.

The other constables rushed to rescue immediately, but after fighting for too long, their martial arts moves were seen through. Master Bai swung his left arm freely, and the two sword and shield men could not hold on. They fell to the side and collided with the two hook and sickle men. He then bent his elbow and hit the man with two maces. This move was so powerful that it was going to force the other man to retreat.

However, the constable saw the danger in his chief officer's eyes and did not dodge, but continued to swing his double maces down fiercely!

With a bang, the constable was hit in the chest and flew backwards. Master Bai had no choice but to retract his right hand and deflect the falling mace. Constable Ding was able to escape and was protected and retreated by the rest of his subordinates. Seeing his confidant being hit in the chest by this powerful elbow and flying far away, his eyes immediately turned red.

This villain has outstanding martial arts skills and is very skilled in external skills. Old Song will be dead after being hit in the chest!

"Dog thief!"

He was about to go forward and fight desperately, but was held back by his subordinates. Because of the flashing white shadow, Li Bailong saw that the formation was broken, and immediately moved to fill the position and intercepted Master Bai. The two men clashed, and the strong energy overflowed, forcing everyone to retreat.

Captain Ding rolled and crawled towards his confidant who had been knocked flying. The confidant fell down the stall and lay straight on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. "Old Song! Old Song!"

I just picked him up and shouted a few times, and suddenly I heard the other person laugh twice.

Under the surprised and delighted gaze of Captain Ding, Old Song tore off his uniform, revealing the straps on his chest, and pulled out a cloth bag from it. When he opened the bag, countless porcelain pieces fell out like sand. This was... a ceramic guard plate produced by Jingtian Kiln!
Due to its special properties, it can withstand external heavy punches and internal strength penetration, and absorb all the incoming strength. Many people buy it for self-defense and to ambush others.

Due to the high price, the Lin County Government would definitely not allocate constables to them. The reason for this is due to the donation sponsorship from Huaxinlou - everyone knows that Young Hero Li Bailong prefers cooperation between the police and the public the most!
Captain Ding sat down on the ground, grabbed the guard cover, and threw it hard at the other surprised and happy detectives: "See! This thing is uncomfortable to wear, but it can really save lives! Who dares not to wear it in the future... I'll fucking..."

When the rough man said this, his voice choked and he slapped Old Song on the head.

Master Bai looked over and saw this scene, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you feel relieved, Senior? Are you glad that you didn't kill the constable, or that you didn't cause any loss of life?"

The calm words were accompanied by fierce moves. Master Bai analyzed and responded without saying a word.

But he remained silent, and the other party continued to chatter: "I see that you are not a bad person, so don't resist. Why don't you sit down and talk? Don't be afraid of my revenge. The fact that you came to beat me is not important at all. Who sent you to beat me is important to me. To be honest, I must get the answer from you, it's useless for you to run away, and..."

Facing Master Bai's sneer, Li Bailong said quietly: "If someone really sent you to fight me, and you fail to complete the mission, even if you escape from Lin County, you may not end up well..."

"..."

Fuck!
During the high-intensity chase, Master Bai was highly concentrated. When he heard Li Bailong's reminder, he remembered that he had messed up two tasks in a row this time!

But he didn't understand the hidden meaning of Li Bailong's words.

"Stop it, senior. Even if you can escape, you will be wanted by the government. Why suffer more?" Li Bailong advised. "If you have any difficulties, you may as well tell me directly. I also have some connections and can think of a solution for you. We are a famous and upright sect and we are the most reasonable. If you have any request, just let us know and we will discuss it..."

"Fuck your most reasonable one!"

This actually triggered Master Bai's anger: "You, a famous and upright sect, are the most disloyal and treacherous people!"

He shouted wildly, his palm power increased dramatically, and he rained down attacks on Li Bailong.

Feng Guozhong had lost his patience. Seeing the negotiations fall apart, he brandished his spear, heard the sound of horse hooves, and rushed over like a gust of wind and thunder. The tip of his spear pierced straight at him like a cold star: "You are shameless!"

Master Bai might not be able to defeat Li Bailong alone, not to mention that County Lieutenant Feng is a veteran with great merit, whose strength is far beyond that of Captain Ding. He rides on a horse as fast as thunder and points his spearhead straight at him. A strong murderous aura comes from behind, and Master Bai's hair stands on end. He senses a life-and-death crisis!
At the critical moment, he no longer hesitated, suppressed the trace of pain in his eyes, and suddenly shook his clothes. Something flew out from under his robe, rose into the air, and suddenly bloomed.

The strong brilliance was actually stronger than any flame or sunlight, causing those who were paying attention to him to scream and close their eyes at the same time. The charging war horses neighed in panic, Li Bailong took a wrong step and retreated, Feng Guozhong hurriedly reined in his horse, and the two people with the highest martial arts skills in the audience were frightened by the strong light. No one could stop Master Bai anymore, and this was exactly his plan to escape.

By the time everyone opened their eyes again and saw the scene clearly, he had disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it! The Xuanyuan Sect's tune has also been brought out!" Feng Guozhong calmed the horse and looked carefully. Master Bai had already rushed out of the city, hid in the town area, went straight into the mulberry forest, and rushed into the Chilian River.

"It doesn't matter." Li Bailong said calmly, "He can't run away... He has a strong will to resist. It's not easy for us to suppress and capture him directly in the city. It's easier to deal with him if he runs away."

"Indeed, I have more fun when I go out of the county."

Feng Guozhong sneered and ordered Captain Ding: "Old Ding, go find this guy's record in the county government, issue a warrant for his arrest, report to the surrounding counties, lock up his household files and martial arts certificates, and have the postmasters notify all the martial arts restaurants in the state along the way. If this guy shows up, call on all the martial artists in the restaurant to attack him together!"

"He is actually a fifth-rank warrior. I think highly of him, so I've set a huge reward for him. If I capture him alive, I'll give him 800 baht in grain, and if I kill him, I'll give him 400 baht in grain!"

"Old He, go tell the people in the barracks, and announce it to all the martial arts schools in Lin County, ordering them to send their elite disciples to participate in the search and encirclement of this person!"

When County Captain Feng said this, his face was filled with murderous intent.

Being transferred to a wealthy county to be a county lieutenant was a good job, but it was boring. People are mean-spirited and after living in comfort for too long, they actually missed the days of being like animals licking blood on the edge of a knife at the border.

This time we are hunting a fifth-grade beast, at least it will help me stretch my muscles.

"He is a fifth-rank warrior. He has consumed a huge amount of his Yuan Qi during the battle. I cut off his food supply and pursued him relentlessly. After two more battles, his internal Qi will be exhausted and his Zhen Rong will collapse. By then..."

Feng Guozhong grinned and said, "I want this boxing master to kneel before me and beg me to give him a bite to eat."

After saying that, he waved the tip of his gun and said, "Go!"

The constables and county soldiers responded in unison. One group went to notify the various departments of the government office to issue documents and dispatch men, while the other group went to notify the various sects and martial arts schools in the county, asking them to contribute manpower and manpower.

This is the law of the court.

All sects and factions received subsidies from the court, received grain and tax returns from the court, and enjoyed various policies. Naturally, they also had obligations, and this was one of their obligations.

Whenever the local government issues an order requiring assistance from local sects, any sect below Class A may not refuse for any reason. Even if it is a Class A sect, in principle it cannot refuse.

Especially this kind of activity to encircle and suppress criminal warriors.

The government may not necessarily need their efforts.

But the court hopes that they will all become monkeys watching the chickens.

After Feng Guozhong gave the order, he finally looked at Li Bailong: "Do you want to let Baihua Valley participate as well?"

Li Bailong frowned slightly: "I think it's not necessary."

"You'd better discuss this with your master."

Feng Guozhong looked at the sunlight in the sky.

Fighting at the border, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Lao Feng has long been as hard as stone, and he looks at things coldly and objectively. The only thing that he can never understand is that sometimes Li Bailong is so cruel that even Commander Yang can't help but invite a master from Zhengnian Temple to "check his inner demons", but sometimes he is too soft-hearted.

"I know you feel bad for your sisters, but for warriors like me, we will have to watch sooner or later."

Old Feng said indifferently, "Food is the most important thing for martial artists. This is the first lesson every master teaches his apprentice. But if you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never remember it in your life."
