Chapter 79 Killing

Huang Tian shook his head, "It's not too late to come again tomorrow."

"I'll officially take office tomorrow, so it's not appropriate to go in now," Luo Chan understood. He glanced back at the warriors who were looking around curiously and said with a smile, "There are too many people here, so why don't we find a quiet place to have a chat?"

Huang Tian raised an eyebrow and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

The two walked about a hundred steps and sat down at a tea stall on a street corner.

"Two bowls of tea, please."

"okay."

The tea stall owner served tea, and seeing Luo Chan dressed in official robes, he consciously kept his distance.

Taking a sip of tea, Luo Chan said, "You will be taking office tomorrow, so let me first introduce you to the situation of the Hundred-Household Office..."

There was a chief official and a deputy official in the yamen. The original chief official was transferred away, and now only the deputy official Qi Hong is left. She is a spirited woman with the strength of a seventh-rank official and is quite popular.

Below Qi Tou are three generals, and this subordinate is one of them. The other two are brothers named Tang Fu and Tang Gui. They are not bad people, but they seem to be a bit slick in their actions.

Below the main flag were nine junior officers, each leading ten men. Including the clerks, there were over a hundred people in the yamen…

With over a hundred people, even the weakest among them had developed their strength, making them a relatively powerful force.

Huang Tian nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although these comments were only Luo Chan's personal opinion, they gave him a preliminary impression of his future subordinates. This was the advantage of having trusted confidants.

After briefly introducing the situation in the yamen, Luo Chan looked around, lowered his voice, and said with some worry, "Commander, I heard that Huang Qian, the meritorious official, has taken a leave of absence. It is rumored that he has purchased a Qi Gathering Pill and intends to go into seclusion to take the pill and cultivate his Qi. If he succeeds, it will be a troublesome matter."

Huang Qian?

Qi Gathering Pill?
Huang Tian smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright. Even if he succeeds in stimulating his Qi, he's still a long way from breaking through to the middle third rank. There's no need to worry."

Even if Huang Qian successfully transforms spiritual energy into true energy, he has only crossed the first threshold. He still needs to slowly refine his blood and qi and cultivate his true energy before he can break through.

Just like Huang Tian now, he has already passed the Qi Induction stage, but it will take him another half a month to break through. Huang Qian will undoubtedly take even longer, half a year or a year is common.

By then, I won't even know what level I've broken through to, so why would I care whether Huang Qian has broken through to the sixth rank?
Seeing that Huang Tian looked relaxed and not worried at all, Luo Chan felt relieved and said with a smile, "Apart from that, there's nothing else."

"Drink tea."

"it is good."

The two sat and drank tea for a while before parting ways. Huang Tian returned to Qinghui Garden and stayed in the back garden. He took several blood-clotting pills and focused on practicing stances and fist techniques to refine his qi and blood and true qi.

The next day, at dawn, the air was thick with fog.

With Heng'er's help, he changed into a trial centurion's uniform, put on his waist badge and sword, and set off for the centurion's office.

'Huh? Someone's watching me?'

As soon as he stepped out the door, he noticed two pairs of eyes staring intently at him from behind, but they were not malicious and did not make him feel uneasy.

'It seems to be someone who's been secretly protecting me...'

He understood what was going on, so he stopped paying attention and walked to the Hundred Household Office. The two places were not far apart, and he arrived in no time.

When he arrived, he saw more than a hundred people standing in front of the Hundred Household Office, bowing in unison under the leadership of a tall, valiant woman with a high ponytail.

"Greetings, Commander!"

The shouts were loud and clear, startling birds into flight and causing pedestrians to stop and watch.

"No need to be polite, just stand up."

"Thank you, Commander Xie!" The group straightened up, their gazes falling on Huang Tian with a variety of ambiguous expressions: envy, jealousy, curiosity, admiration, eagerness... and so on.

"Please invite the centurion into the yamen."

The leading woman, Qi Hong, stepped to the side, and her subordinates parted like water, making way for her.

Huang Tian, ​​dressed in a dark black official robe, strode through the crowd and into the government office.

Upon entering the government office and arriving at the main hall, Huang Tianan sat in the head seat, while Qi Hong, Luo Chan, and the other three stood below, announcing their names and strengths.

Qi Hong, a seventh-rank official, is skilled in swordsmanship.

The brothers Tang Fu and Tang Gui are both eighth-rank officials, skilled in swordsmanship, and possess a unique combined attack technique.

Luo Chan, an eighth-rank official, is skilled in palm techniques.

After listening to their introductions, Huang Tian nodded, waved for them to leave, and then summoned a clerk to give him a general overview of Baoqingfang.

"There are a total of..." The old clerk, holding a booklet, slowly recounted the story.

As Huang Tian listened, he activated his mental switch, and instantly, a multitude of voices flooded into his ears.

'Hmm? Another black line?'

A deep, dark voice pierced through the void, causing him to furrow his brow and follow the sound.

Hurry~
The scene shifts to a guest room in a restaurant.

"Fang He, are you crazy? How dare you come to my place looking for me? If we're discovered, we'll both be dead!" A middle-aged man with a hooked nose and triangular eyes cursed in a low voice, somewhat agitated.

"Senior Brother Zhang Yu, what are you panicking about!"

The man named Fang He was a fair-skinned, beardless young man. He chuckled and said, "The county government, the Zhenwu Guard, and the Six Doors are all after you, yet you dared to run to the county city to hide. You have extraordinary courage. Why are you flustered when you see me today?"

Zhang Yu snorted coldly: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Who would have thought that I would dare to hide in the county town after killing the county magistrate and county commandant and being hunted everywhere? Especially since I disguised myself and hid in Baoqingfang, right under the nose of Zhenwuwei, I am naturally safe and sound."

"But you are a bronze-badged constable of the Six Doors, a seventh-rank martial artist. Your status is not low. If someone happens to notice you and discovers me in the process, we will both be doomed!"

Fang He leaned back in his chair and stretched lazily. "Senior brother, you're being too cautious. Although I'm a bronze-badge constable, I've always kept a low profile. Who would be watching me?"

"Keep a low profile? Do you mean you broke into my hiding place?!" Zhang Yu roared.

If Fang He weren't a valuable agent planted in the Six Doors, he would have loved to beat him half to death right now.

"Hey, I told you not to worry about it, not to worry about it. I never make mistakes," Fang He said with a grin. "Besides, I came here to bring you some medicine for your injuries and tonics."

He tossed several porcelain bottles from his sleeve. Zhang Yu carefully caught them, opened them, and glanced at them. Seeing that they were indeed all top-quality pills, his expression softened, but he still frowned: "Even if you're delivering medicine, you don't need to come in person. Couldn't you just have a trusted confidant deliver it?"

Fang He chuckled: "A trusted confidant? My trusted confidants have no idea that I'm a spy for the Flying Swallow Sect. If they were to deliver medicine to you, they probably wouldn't know what they'd do if they saw you, a wanted criminal..."

Zhang Yu snorted coldly, too lazy to argue further, and simply said, "You came here today for more than just to bring me medicine, didn't you?"

Fang He nodded, his expression becoming serious. "The sect has given orders for you to cooperate with the people from the sect to kill another person."

"Who?"

"Huang Tian, ​​Trial Commander of Baoqing Ward, Zhenwu Guard!"
