"Oh, by the way, he just ordered a 15-stone heavy bow from the blacksmith's workshop, tsk tsk..."

"Your Excellency, please try to avoid going out at night these days."

"If something unexpected happens, there's a good chance we won't even be able to find the body. I won't have any evidence to avenge you!"

"He dares!"

Ji Guangxian was quite confident: "If that's the case, then we have a perfect reason to execute him!"

Xiang Tingchun said no more, gave him a look as if he were looking at a corpse, shook his head, and turned to leave.

……

Outside the military settlement, in the fields.

A man and a woman, one in red and one in blue, walked side by side.

Sun Li habitually placed one hand on the hilt of her sword: "According to the records of the Governor's Office, you began practicing martial arts after the autumn harvest. Now, two months have passed, what level have you reached?"

Although she was a woman and not very old, her tone of voice carried the unique authority of a senior.

"In response to the selection of the vanguard officer."

Chen Sanshi answered truthfully, "I'm currently training my bones."

"Bone training?"

Sun Li's eyes flashed with surprise at first, then she suddenly remembered something: "Who told you to rush into bone training? Didn't anyone tell you that after practicing the inferior breathing method, your qi and blood will be fixed and your future potential locked?"

Normally speaking.

After entering the Eight Great Camps, a selected military officer will receive a new breathing technique depending on their aptitude.

Relearn a moderate or superior breathing technique to replace the previous inferior breathing technique.

However, once the bones are strengthened, the quality of qi and blood is locked in and can never be changed.

According to the rules, the person in charge of instructing the selected military officers should have explained it clearly.

"Ok?"

Chen Sanshi was startled, thinking something was wrong. He explained, "Officer, you are overthinking it. I am practicing the Righteous Breathing Technique."

"The Righteous Breathing Technique?"

Sun Li asked in surprise, "Who taught you that?"

This breathing method is indeed a superior breathing method.

But it is also the most difficult to learn. It is a skill that is carefully selected by the Eight Great Camps and only taught to people with truly high aptitude.

“Wang Zhi, Wang Baihu”.

Chen Sanshi said, "The selection officer might know him."

"Wang Zhi?"

Sun Li pressed on, "I don't know this person. What does he look like? Where did he get the Righteous Breathing Technique?"

Chen Sanshi briefly described his physical characteristics.

'Could it be him?'

A barely perceptible killing intent flashed in Sun Li's eyes: "Where is he? Take me to see him."

Chen Sanshi replied, "I went to the prefectural city to visit relatives."

A few days ago, Wang Zhi rode away on a fast horse and has not been seen since.

At that time, he felt it wasn't like visiting relatives, but more like running away.

Judging from Sun Qianjin's attitude, it seems she guessed correctly.

Did Wang Zhi embezzle too much money, or did he commit some other crime?

If he commits a serious crime, I might not be able to help him.

"Never mind, let's wait until he gets back."

Sun Li took a deep breath: "Let's go."

Chen Sanshi didn't understand: "Where to?"

"Go to your home."

Sun Li smiled and said, "I'm tired. I'd like to go to Commander Chen's house for a bowl of tea. Are you not welcome?"

"Of course you're welcome, come with me."

Chen Sanshi led the way, trying to figure out what the other person meant.

What is this, a home visit?

The Governor's Office is very strict in selecting personnel, and they need to understand all aspects of the situation.

Throughout the journey, Sun Li kept questioning her about her background.

Chen Sanshi answered each question in turn.

"You've had it tough."

Sun Li's voice was as clear as ice: "If you achieve something in the future, I hope you will not forget your original aspirations."

"I dare not forget it for a moment."

Chen Sanshi said sincerely.

"arrive."

Knock on the door.

A charming young woman with a face like a lotus calyx and a graceful figure appeared before them.

That would naturally be Sister Lan.

"Brother Shi?"

Gu Xinlan noticed the woman beside her: "This must be a guest, please come in quickly."

She busied herself inside and out, making tea and pouring water, and asking a neighbor to help her buy some snacks from the city. From beginning to end, she didn't ask a single question about who the woman was.

"Commander Chen does have a beautiful and virtuous wife."

Sun Li sipped her green tea and changed the subject: "Before coming here, I heard that Poyang County has been quite unsettled lately. First, the Witch God Cult caused trouble, and then people went missing. What do you know about this?"

The Witch God Cult.

Chen Sanshi understood.

It seems that the fact that the governor sent his own daughter is also related to Xianbao.

"Reporting to the Vanguard Commander, there have been patrols and searches of the city recently, but nothing has been found."

In three to five days at most, after he broke through to the Bone Refining Realm, he went to investigate and find out what was going on inside the Medicine Valley.

"No need to call him a striker."

Sun Li was a serious person, but she was also quite straightforward: "Your aptitude and cultivation are both fine. Come back to Liangzhou with me next spring, and at the very least, you can stay in the Governor's Mansion as an inner disciple. We'll be family sooner or later, so you can just call me Senior Sister."

"So, junior brother, I have nowhere to go and am planning to stay here temporarily. You won't kick me out, will you?"

Junior brother.

Since that's what they call it, it seems like it's passed the initial assessment.

Chen Sanshi had no reason to refuse, so he asked Gu Xinlan to prepare a guest room.

Very well, this is the daughter of the Grand Coordinator.

His knowledge and skills must be extraordinary. How could we waste a training instructor we picked up for free?

At dinner, Chen Sanshi ate most of a bear heart and drank a bowl of bone-nourishing soup.

Taking advantage of the surge of energy within him, he carried his spear to the courtyard, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Senior Sister Sun, please enlighten me!"

"You're one to never suffer a loss. Alright, your senior sister won't eat and drink for free either."

Sun Li could easily see through his thoughts, and said calmly, "I have reached the peak of Bone Refinement, so please make your move."

Bone training completed.

That is, it is close to refining the internal organs.

Judging from her appearance, Senior Sister Sun is at most eighteen or nineteen years old. To have reached this level of martial arts after only three to five years of practice is definitely remarkable.

A rare opportunity!

Chen Sanshi's breathing became increasingly complex, the dragon and elephant blood within his body began to boil, and all his strength gathered in his arms. The reed-leaf spear in his hand gleamed coldly in the moonlight, like a venomous snake poised to strike.

"Come on, please."

Sun Li, dressed in red, stood under the plum tree in the courtyard. Her high ponytail swayed in the night wind, and her long skirt billowed in the breeze.

She closed her eyes, one hand resting on the hilt of the sword at her waist, hesitant to draw it.

Only when the sound of the spear piercing the air was just a step away from him did he fiercely draw his sword and slash down!

"clang--"

The clash of swords and spears was like a thunderous explosion, even startling the white swan horse sleeping in the corner of the courtyard.

Under the overwhelming force, Chen Sanshi staggered back several steps, his reed spear trembling violently, his tiger's mouth aching slightly, and his arm numb. He had to circulate his qi and blood to regain his balance.

He was, after all, a blood-training martial artist.

The person standing opposite is about to undergo organ refinement, and his strength is second only to Xiang Tingchun.

It's normal for there to be a difference.

"Come again!"

Chen Sanshi thrust his spear at the opponent again and again.

Each time the spear was cleaved in two with perfect accuracy, the resulting impact was so great that after several rounds, his arms and both sides were in excruciating pain, and he almost lost his grip on the spear shaft several times.
