Speed ​​Pass starts with choosing a hunter

Chapter 256 Mixing
There was silence in the room.

After a long time, Du Qinghui spoke again: "You are very good."

There are not many young people as pure as Bai Yuan nowadays.

"It is not your wish to give up your master. If you are interested in joining the Zhenbei Army, I can help you."

There were quite a few members of the Xuanyang Sect who joined the army. After earning military merits, many of them returned to their original sects in order to obtain the resources of the Zhenbei Army.

The Zhenbei Army was also happy to see this happen.

There are many powerful men in the Zhenbei Army, and they have many unique skills.

It was precisely because of the foundation of the Zhenbei Army that Dong Wanjun was able to break through the perception barrier ahead of time.

If Bai Yuan is willing, joining the Zhenbei Army is indeed a good way out.

But then Du Qinghui shook his head and smiled. When he thought that Bai Yuan's master was Dong Wanjun, it seemed unnecessary.

Now that the General Zhenbei no longer believes in Xu, both Xu Dingchun and Dong Wanjun still have great influence in the Zhenbei Army. Bai Yuan will not suffer any loss if he goes to the Zhenbei Army.

"You are really old and confused. It is not my turn to manage the Zhenbei Army yet."

Bai Yuan suddenly felt that this old man Du Qinghui was somewhat interesting, at least different from what was rumored.

Du Qinghui seemed to notice the change in Bai Yuan's expression. He chuckled and said, "Why, do you think I am different from the most conservative person in Xuanyang as rumored?"

Bai Yuan answered truthfully: "It is indeed quite different from the rumors."

Du Qinghui lowered his body a little further while lying on the head of the bed to make his lumbar spine more comfortable, and smiled at himself.

"I'm just an old man who likes reading."

"But the more books I read, the more I feel that human hearts are unreliable."

"If Xu Dingchun were still alive, perhaps the war in the north would have ended long ago. But at that time, even if Xu Dingchun had no intention, Your Majesty would never tolerate him, and the world would only become more chaotic."

"Emperor Taizu, who was a powerful minister and killed the previous emperor in the palace, thought he was a loyal and good family before he rose to power."

"People's hearts are the most unpredictable thing."

"Xuan Yang is not a bad place. We cannot destroy the peace we have worked so hard to achieve just because of Xu Dingchun. That will only lead to more deaths."

"."

Du Qinghui said a lot in one breath.

Bai Yuan mostly played the supporting role or just listened quietly.

As Du Qinghui said, there are countless such things in history.

A powerful minister who is able to survive and hold military power is too terrifying, enough to make the emperor unable to sleep or eat.

Bai Yuan knew very well that this was the deadlock of any dynasty and there was no way to break it.

Even the Sima family thought they were descendants of loyal and brave people before they became emperors.

Who can tell for sure?

Du Qinghui actually didn't like to talk much. Even when facing the emperor, he rarely spoke.

That is, when facing young people, he would occasionally say a few more words, but never as much as today.

Maybe it’s because the young man in front of me is really good.

"I'm old, and my body is really not good anymore."

Du Qinghui smiled and shook his head, then lay back on the bed with the help of his maid.

Bai Yuan turned around and walked out of the room silently.

He was not interested in the things happening in the court, but the Zhenbei Army seemed to be a good option.

With his current strength, as long as he is careful, he will not be defeated instantly, and the Zhenbei Army does not need to search all over the mountains for the enemy.

"There's no rush yet."

Bai Yuan shook his head again.

The situation is unclear now, so there is no need to make a decision so quickly.

Night is coming.

It's already four o'clock in the morning.

The Du Mansion was brightly lit, and teams of soldiers were patrolling the mansion.

These are the elite troops of Lingzhou Army, sent by Dong Wanjun to protect Du Qinghui.

The young man not far from Du Qinghui's door had long disappeared.

In a dark corner of the courtyard wall.

A man in black jumped down from the courtyard wall.

"Ugh!"

Only a painful wail was heard, and he turned into a pool of blood the moment he hit the ground.

Bai Yuan clapped his hands indifferently.

The Manggu Zhuhe skill is so useful that it even saves the step of raising dust.

This is already the fourth wave of assassinations tonight. The Soul-Chasing Tower has no intention of letting Du Qinghui go.

The killers sent by the Soul-Chasing Tower are all masters. It is impossible for the martial artists of the Lingzhou Army to detect these people sneaking in. Of course, it is impossible for the killers of the Soul-Chasing Tower to detect Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan walked slowly back to Du Qinghui's room.

Tonight is destined to be a restless night.

Dong Wanjun had anticipated such a situation, which was why he let him stay in the Du Mansion.

"How about it?"

As soon as Bai Yuan walked to Du Qinghui's door, he heard an old voice.

“It has been cleaned up.”

"Ah."

There was no other sound in the room.

No sleep for one night.

Ever since the fourth wave of killers was slaughtered by Bai Yuan, no killers from the Soul-Chasing Tower have come again.

However, out of caution, Bai Yuan waited until dawn.

Just as he was stretching and yawning, Old Man Dong came in front of him. He waved his sleeves and a palm-sized object flew in front of Bai Yuan's face.

Warm.

Xiaolongbao.

Bai Yuan tore off the oil paper, picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"The Zhu family in the east of the city."

Dong Wanjun did not forget to mention the source.

"Last night, the provincial government office was attacked by the Soul-Chasing Tower. Thirteen people died, and those forces in the city also suffered heavy casualties." Bai Yuan blinked.

Old man Dong spoke lightly, but the battle last night must have been brutal.

There must have been many assassins from the Zhuihun Tower who died at the hands of old man Dong. I didn’t expect that he was still interested in going to the east of the city to buy buns early in the morning. He is indeed the most skilled gourmet in Lingzhou.

Old man Dong said a few words and walked straight into the room.

Neither he nor Du Qinghui wanted to avoid Bai Yuan's thoughts, so Bai Yuan could hear the conversation inside clearly while he was eating dumplings outside.

"Kui Dong hasn't made a move yet."

"There's no movement from Qingzhou yet. The secret letter should be delivered soon."

"One hundred and thirty-five people died last night."

The people who died that Dong Wanjun mentioned were all martial artists; civilians were not included in the statistics.

Bai Yuan was still eating the buns.

He just hoped that Old Man Dong had washed his hands before buying the buns. Although it didn't make a difference, he would feel better at least.

Old man Dong spoke briefly and to the point, and he finished his speech in less than half an incense stick of time.

Du Qinghui didn't give many instructions. He just said "I understand" and Old Man Dong left the room.

The red tape that prevailed in Xuanyang was almost non-existent for the two of them.

Old man Dong walked out of the room and came to Bai Yuan again.

"Be careful."

"Ah."

Bai Yuan looked at Old Man Dong's departing back.

He looked down at the panel again.

After a little thought, he added all the enhancement points he gained last night to the Manggu Zhuhe Gong.

The lower the skill level, the more obvious the improvement effect will be.

Tonight will definitely be more lively, and he must improve his fighting power as soon as possible.

[You are in your tenth year of practicing Mang Gu Zhu He Gong. You feed on poisonous insects from all over the world to improve your skills.]

[In the 81st year of your cultivation of the Manggu Zhuha Kung, the amount of poisonous insects you swallowed every day increased to ten kilograms.]

[In the 270th year of your practice of the Manggu Zhuha Kung Fu, your poison skills have finally achieved some success.]

[Name: Bai Yuan]

[Occupation: Monster Hunter, Sword Ghost, Boxer, Soul Cooker, Skin Painter]

[Skills: Blood-sweeping Tiger Sabre (proficient), Manggu Zhuha Kung (proficient), Demon Performing Kung (master), Soul Taking (master), Soul Stealing (master).]

[Strength Points: 0]

Manggu Zhuha Gong is based on Toad Gong, which is essentially a method of refining poison into the body, but it is more powerful than Toad Gong.

Using poison is the most common method for the weak to defeat the strong in the underworld.

With his Manggu Zhuha skill, Bai Yuan is more than qualified to be the owner of the Soul-Chasing Tower.

He began to try to connect the Fu Hu Dao technique that he had learned randomly with the Manggu Zhuhe Kung Fu.

Before, the poisonous power of Toad Skill could not penetrate the body, but now it is different because he has cultivated the poisonous power.

Just like the Taoist Kaiyang in Changshou Palace before, if you can cover the blade with strong force, it will definitely be of infinite use.

It’s a pity that there is no special technique to practice this method, Bai Yuan can only figure it out on his own. Fortunately, his martial arts level is high enough now, so as long as he puts more effort into it, it is very likely to work.

Bai Yuan's mind moved.

Invisible and colorless force slowly flowed out of his body.

In fact, strength is somewhat similar to the true qi in martial arts movies in previous lives. Strength is used to strike objects from a distance.

Some martial artists with extraordinary talents have even made great use of their strength, just like Taoist Kaiyang before. Some can even use their strength to turn into armor and become invulnerable to swords and spears.

However, there are very few people who can achieve this level when they are just entering the state of strength.

All martial artists who want to break through the perception barrier must transform all the strength in their bodies into sensory power.

Sensational force is essentially strength, but it has some more characteristics.

In addition to improving the perception of martial artists, it can also better control the release of strength.

It is also for this reason that even if the martial artists above the Zhigan Pass lose their weapons, their combat effectiveness will not be reduced too much.

"It still doesn't work."

Bai Yuan sighed softly.

After several attempts, he found that his strength was like light smoke and did not obey his command at all.

But Bai Yuan had nothing to do anyway, so he continued to practice seriously.

Before I knew it, the sky turned dark again.

Bai Yuan listened to the sound of the gong outside the door at the third watch.

There is no day or night for practicing, and I didn’t expect that the same is true for practicing martial arts.

He calmed himself down and no longer thought about gathering his strength.

The moon hangs on the eastern branch, and it is already late night.

But strangely, there was nothing unusual in the Du Mansion, and Bai Yuan frowned slightly.

He didn't believe that the Soul-Chasing Tower would give up the assassination so easily.

After all, the King of Qingzhou is very likely to come to Lingzhou tomorrow, so it would be almost impossible for them to kill Du Qinghui again.

Once Du Qinghui recovers from his injuries, all their previous plans will come to naught.

So, tonight is most likely their only chance.

Bai Yuan sat outside Du Qinghui's door holding a long sword.

At this time, a maid slowly walked into Du Qinghui's room carrying a wooden tray.

Calculating the time, it is indeed time to take the medicine.

In order to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, Du Qinghui insisted on taking medicine even late at night.

Just as the maid was about to pass by Bai Yuan——

A flash of white passed by.

The maid looked at Bai Yuan in disbelief.

Bai Yuan shook off the blood drops on the tip of the knife expressionlessly.

The Soul-Chasing Tower finally took action.
