After a satisfying meal, the dust and noise have been washed away.

Lying on the bed in the inn, Jiang Xiaoqi closed her eyes and practiced her hidden weapons in the study space.

Yes, I have mastered all the skills I have learned, and the map of the Great Zhou is gradually being improved and filled with detailed terrain features of the territory.

So the system was asked to search for hidden weapon manuals, which only cost 150 points.

The contents are quite comprehensive, even including the Little Li Flying Dagger. I wonder which dimension the system collected this complete guide to hidden weapons from.

However, I couldn't bring myself to buy any hidden weapons; they were a bit expensive.

It's more cost-effective to spend silver to have some made at the blacksmith's shop. Even if it's not made of iron, it won't cost much to make some lightweight hidden weapons with silver, since gold and silver are the last thing he has in his space right now.

With the largest reserves of silver, it's entirely possible to administer silver needles, which can be used both for testing poison and as concealed weapons.

The silver needles I left for my senior brother can be made into sixteen needles for one tael of silver. The labor cost isn't expensive either, so we can find several silversmiths to work together to finish them.

Today is the third day of practicing accuracy and speed in launching projectiles. On the target we earned with fifteen points, the plastic darts are still a bit far from the bullseye.

It seems that if he wants to be as handsome as Li Xunhuan, he still needs to work harder. Although Jiang Xiaoqi is not a third-place scholar, he also wants that kind of carefree and cool feeling!

Jiang Xiaoqi took a deep breath and fired another cheap plastic dart, this time getting closer to the bullseye.

Keep up the good work. When "rolling up" becomes the norm, people will forget their initial desire to give up.

I once told myself that I would slack off after paying back the points I owed, but I was still swept up by the mentality of being a "king of points" and kept moving forward. Perhaps this is the awakening of the bloodline of every Chinese child.

Strive for excellence, never give up, and catch up with the world.

What does it matter if it's a little hardship and fatigue? He carries the burden himself so that his family can live a peaceful life.

Moreover, he now has four family members involved in this case, four affiliated online legal systems, even though the parties involved are unaware of their existence.

But I only provided guidance; I absolutely did not force anyone to struggle or even die.

Just as Jiang Xiaoqi was about to continue practicing, she suddenly heard the sound of tiles breaking outside the study area.

He put down the dart in his hand, his mind instantly snapping out of the study space.

His eyes remained closed, as if he were fast asleep.

Jiang Xiaoqi heard light footsteps approaching the bedside and sensed that the person coming was hostile.

He silently reached under his pillow, where his soft sword was hidden.

Just as the man reached out and was about to touch him, Jiang Xiaoqi suddenly opened his eyes and swiftly thrust out his soft sword.

The newcomer was clearly caught off guard by Jiang Xiaoqi's sudden counterattack and was unable to dodge in time, resulting in a sword wound to his shoulder.

Without giving the opponent a chance to react, Jiang Xiaoqi lunged forward and unleashed several tricky sword moves in quick succession. The opponent panicked and tried to defend, but ended up kicking the lampstand and basin stand in the inn room.

The clanging and banging also woke up Li Haisheng, who was sleeping next door.

"Junior brother!"

Li Haisheng rushed into the room, and was stunned by the scene before him. Then he drew his sword and joined the battle.

With the two working together, the enemy gradually lost ground and was tied up with a bed sheet, while their jaw was dislocated.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Xiaoqi used his sword to pierce the black cloth covering the newcomer's face, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.

"Who are you? Why did you try to assassinate me?" Jiang Xiaoqi demanded.

The man snorted coldly and didn't answer. Oh, or maybe his jaw had been dislocated, so he couldn't speak at all.

“Junior brother, this person is clearly targeting you. There must be someone behind him with ulterior motives.” Li Haisheng still felt that Yang Guojiu was the most suspicious.

"Senior brother, let's leave this inn first, in case the enemy has any further tricks up their sleeves," Jiang Xiaoqi suggested.

"Okay, I'll go wake everyone up now, but what about this person?"

"Take this with you, and feed him some of the 'dispersing energy powder' that Master previously developed, just so he can't cause trouble. Put it in the carriage, take it to the capital, and deliver it to the Jingzhao Yin's office!"

"Is this necessary? Master doesn't have much of that medicine to dissipate his power. Why waste it on such a small fry?"

“Senior brother, he’s no pushover. It took the two of us fifty moves to defeat him. Besides, the fighting was so loud just now, and no one else came over except you.”

"You mean, this person had already drugged the entire inn without anyone knowing before coming to your room?"

That doesn't make sense either. Since there's a sleeping potion, why not just knock both of us out? That would be safer.

Jiang Xiaoqi looked at Li Haisheng as if he were an idiot. The other party slapped his forehead and said, "Right, right, how could I forget? Over the years, Master has been regulating our physiques, so no kind of sleeping potion works on us anymore."

"Alright, senior brother, stop talking nonsense. Let's get him down with the dissipating energy powder first, lest something go wrong. I'll go to the other rooms to dispel the sleeping pills for everyone."

"Okay, go ahead, you go ahead, I'll leave this bastard to my senior brother!"

Jiang Xiaoqi first went to his grandfather's room and used his internal energy to dispel the remaining intoxicating fragrance in the air.

Then, Ouyang Zheng placed her specially made cooling pills under Landlord Jiang's nose. After a few breaths, Landlord Jiang slowly woke up.

After her grandfather regained consciousness, Jiang Xiaoqi briefly explained the current situation and then went to her mother's and sisters' room.

Landlord Jiang was somewhat frightened. His grandson was right; it was not a good place to stay.

However, since there was still some time before the city gates opened, everyone had to get ready and wait at the city gates so they could leave the city as soon as they opened.

Lin Yueniang and Jiang Xiyue had martial arts skills, so they weren't too deeply affected by the drug and woke up faster than Jiang the Landlord. After waking up, they helped Jiang Xiaoqi wake up the others.

The three of them worked quickly, and by the time dawn broke, everyone had woken up and packed their luggage.

Following Jiang Xiaoqi's instructions, Li Haisheng fed the assassin a drug that would dispel his powers. Once the drug took effect, he took off the bedsheets from the inn and returned them to the waiter.

Using the hemp rope he brought from home, which was originally used to tie up seafood, he re-tied it into an extra-large zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), stuffed it into his carriage, and had the brothers Li Chunsheng and Li Qiusheng watch over it.

Anyway, this guy is a cripple now, and he's not even as strong as a child. Two strong men can easily take care of him, so there's no need to use any guards.
