King Chao completely let things take their own course, while the recruitment business was in full swing.
Because only by joining Chao Tianwang can you earn money and have food to eat.
They slaughtered the wealthy, plundered their wealth, recruited soldiers and bought horses, but ignored the lives of ordinary people.
"This Chao Tianwang wants to escape?"
"Go quickly!"
"If you leave, I'll leave too."
The city of Nanyang was almost destroyed by the disaster.
"When we get to Lijiang City, I will stay at home and practice martial arts. I won't go out no matter what."
This world is really chaotic.
They would massacre entire cities and families at any time.
……
Putting away the books, Chen Mu walked into the center of the yard.
He crossed his hands and gently pressed his lower abdomen. His breathing rhythm suddenly changed and became rapid.
He began to practice the Heavenly Serpent Form Training Technique.
Even though he has been hiding from the outside world recently, he has never given up practicing the art of shape-shifting.
As his breathing changed, Chen Mu began to twist his waist and hips, twisting his body backwards to an incredible angle.
This is exactly the characteristic of the Heavenly Serpent Form Training Technique, which can greatly enhance the body's flexibility.
Chen Mu practiced slowly and rhythmically according to his usual pace.
After finishing it once, Chen Mu let out a long breath.
Glancing at the grey wall.
Serpentine Form Training Technique: 9536/10000/Level ;
"almost!"
……
In the afternoon, the sun sets and the vast sunset glows blood red.
The dazzling red and yellow light fell on Chen Mu's cheeks.
call……
A long breath was exhaled.
Chen Mu's muscles began to move rapidly. Instead of expanding, they began to contract inwards.
Large muscles become dense and firm, both flexible and hard, yet full of explosive power like springs.
As long as he wanted, he could instantly unleash all his strength, like a python wrapping around its prey.
Moreover, Chen Mu discovered that he had grown another finger taller and was almost 1.79 meters tall.
"Another form training technique, Yi Sui, has been perfected."
"In a month at most, I will be able to train the sixth Wandering Soul!"
Chen Mu lifted up his clothes and gathered all the wandering souls into his stomach.
Suddenly, a black belt two palms wide appeared on his belly.
"A hundred years of soul-nurturing? Ha!"
"Who are you looking down on!"
Chen Mu laughed proudly for a while, then reached out and pinched his shiny black belly.
"I don't know what this courage is."
It is dark and shiny, but the skin texture is not visible, which shows that this is not a simple skin quality change.
But if we say that it is an independent substance covering the epidermis, we cannot feel its thickness.
"Anyway...it's magical!"
……
In the evening, at the prefectural government office.
The main hall of the inner courtyard is located in the center, guarded by a team of elite soldiers.
There was not a single maid or servant within fifty meters, eliminating any possibility of eavesdropping.
In the main hall, Heavenly King Chao Fang sat at the top with a smile on his face, and his twelve brothers sat in two rows below.
"You've made a lot of money recently." Chao Fang smiled.
Everyone below burst into laughter.
Zongtai, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, had a forced smile.
Since he entered the inner city, he was sent to guard the library, and gained nothing!
"It's okay to make money yourself, but don't let the people below fool you." Chao Fang said, "Old Two did a good job."
"Hanging a naked man can easily intimidate those cunning officials."
"Second brother is the one with the best ideas!" Jia Xiang, who was sitting in the first seat on the right, laughed loudly: "I went to see that old fellow, his testicles are about to burst from the sun!"
"Hahaha……"
The twelve brothers laughed and joked.
Zongtai pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a gloomy and bitter smile.
"Zongtai, it's just a few books on physical training. It's okay if someone can cheat them away." Chao Fang comforted him.
"But take this as a warning. How dare I burden you if you don't act in a prudent way?"
"Brother is right!" Zongtai quickly stood up and said respectfully.
“Sit, sit, sit…” Chao Fang waved his hand kindly.
He immediately stopped smiling and said solemnly: "Brothers, it's time to retreat."
"Go and quietly take out the Soul-Fixing Stake tonight, and we will leave the city early tomorrow morning."
"Brother, why are you in such a hurry?" asked the third brother Jia Xiang puzzledly.
"Shangguan Ji has arrived eighty miles outside the city. He is stationed at Xiulinpo with eight thousand elite soldiers from the Tangshan Camp."
"He also brought a mirror to ward off evil spirits. The evil spirits imprisoned outside the city could not stop him."
Chao Fang's expression became more serious: "We have recruited enough people and made enough money. Brothers, it's time to go."
"The most important thing tonight is to retrieve the Soul-Fixing Stake. We must not allow any unnecessary complications."
"If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Chao Fang said indifferently.
Everyone who was laughing just now immediately stood up and saluted respectfully: "Yes, sir!"
Everyone looked at Zongtai vaguely.
Although they call each other brothers on weekdays, they must never delay the important matters of the king.
This second brother who has been neglected until now is the best role model!
Zongtai clasped his fists and lowered his head, feeling the gazes behind him, and couldn't help but clench his back teeth!
"Damn Song Jiang!"
……
Linhengfang, Chen’s house.
Next to the brick stove at the foot of the east wall, two clouds of black smoke floated on the top of the chimney.
The smoke from burning firewood is first swallowed up by the black smoke below, and then ejected from the black smoke ball above.
With one in and one out, the carbon elements produced by incomplete combustion are completely filtered out.
The five ghost bags were thrown into the vertical feeding shaft, and balls of clear water floated in the air.
The smoke from the stove was constantly rinsed and suddenly lost its color.
"You want to use the smoke from cooking to capture me as a man? If you find me, I lose!"
Chen Mu held a spatula in his hand, humming an unknown tune as he stir-fried the delicious bacon.
"Today I have mastered the art of shape-shifting. I have to add another dish no matter what!"
If time permits, he would definitely stew a pot of braised pork for himself.
"We can't delay going to see Miss Yutao's performance."
"Tomorrow, I will make it up tomorrow!"
……
Zongtai walked out of the inner courtyard of the government office and passed by the office of the sixth department of the government office.
Looking up, I saw the skinny figure hanging on the flagpole and clenched my fists.
Thinking of his other brothers who were full of vigor and vitality, and their wealth and soldiers all increased, he was still a commander without troops.
He became more and more angry towards Old Man Ding.
"It is important to take the Soul-Fixing Stake."
"I'll let you live one more night, old man!"
"We will set off early tomorrow morning... hehe!"
Zongtai changed his clothes, put on a bamboo hat, left the prefectural government office, and took a carriage to the south gate of the inner city.
The roads in the inner city were wide and there were few pedestrians in the evening. It only took him a quarter of an hour to get out of the inner city.
After making several turns, the carriage arrived at Linhengfang a quarter of an hour later.
Zongtai jumped off the carriage and looked around.
