Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 40 Planning
It worked!
Zhao Rong was elated, his eyes fixed on the jade pendant in his hand.

You are worthy of being the old friend who came to this world with me, baby!
If it weren't for the power of the pendant, it would be impossible to achieve cold strength in a short period of time.

And now he has not only refined the cold energy, but the effect is even better than the "Frost Cold Energy" secret book record, and there is a pendant to refine it. The effect of this fragmentary technique combined with the internal strength of the Yi Jin Jing is simply comparable to the ice energy of Zuo Alliance Leader.

According to what Fei Fei said, if the Xuan Tian Finger in Hei Baizi's hand could be obtained and integrated with the ice power, it would probably be even more powerful!
Zhao Rong smiled crookedly, a little greedy.

A steady stream of coldness came from the veins, flowing along the blood throughout the body, and the whole person was shaking like chaff from the inside out.

Without letting the enemy get the ice energy, Zhao Rong first experienced the effect of the cold energy himself.

He was too new to this skill and had great flaws in using it.

First of all, it consumes a lot of internal energy, and secondly, the cold air cannot be controlled well and cannot move the fingers like an arm, so it keeps moving in the meridians. In addition, the internal energy is vigorously stimulated, and one's own blood can freeze if you are not careful. That's bad luck.

But these can be overcome.

Being able to cultivate the ice energy is equivalent to saving years of hard work.

Even those warriors with outstanding talents who practice Frost Cold Strength may not be able to achieve the effect that Zhao Rong has after using the pendant to increase his strength after a few years.

If anyone in the martial arts world knew about this terrifying efficiency, they would probably die of envy on the spot.

Thinking of all these things, a proud smile appeared on Zhao Rong's lips that were white from the cold.

Although there is only one month to prepare for the dart, with the precious jade pendant in hand, he should be able to develop a lot of ice power.

Now you have to let your body gradually adapt to this true energy.

One more trump card means more protection.

He sat down cross-legged, performed the marrow cleansing technique, lowered the curtain to watch the orifice, and quickly adjusted his breath.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Rong tried the pendant's function again.

He discovered that the cold air blended with the inner energy, and using the properties of the pendant, it could be stored in it for a period of time.

Unfortunately, it was too short-lived and could not be used for even a cup of tea. There was no practical significance at all in treating it as the second Dantian.

Zhao Rong was not disappointed.

Hang the pendant close to your body, put your hand on your heart and feel a sense of peace of mind.

The effect this baby brings is incredible enough, so you can’t force it too much.

When he came to the escort agency the next day, Lu Gui saw that his face was white and his lips were pale. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and persuaded him that "young people should know how to be moderate", and asked him which girl from Qunyu Court he was looking for.

Lao Lu is a wise emperor.

Zhao Rong was too lazy to use a pornographic accent and just said it was because he was practicing late.

"Where's Mr. Lu?"

"I didn't see you." Lu Gui shook his head and was keenly aware of the difference in his expression. "What happened?"

Zhao Rong looked around, then motioned to the two helpers in the stable.

Lu Gui understood and found an excuse to pick fodder and sent the two away.

"The chief escort has taken another escort to Yingtian Mansion. Will I go?"

"Let's go together. Head Guard Lu has informed us."

"Is there anything wrong with this escort trip?"

Zhao Rong said frankly: "Last time Yingtian Mansion's escort was robbed, and now that I'm going on this escort journey again, I feel a little bit scared."

Lu Gui was indeed a veteran, so he took advantage of the situation and asked, "What else does Brother Rong know?"

Zhao Rong did not hesitate and told Lu Gui what he saw in the theater.

The latter looked shocked.

But he accepted it faster than Lu Shilai and did not question Zhao Rong's words at all.

"It seems that this escort trip is full of dangers."

Lu Gui sneered, "But we are not easy to bully. Since we know the danger, we should prepare early."

"exactly."

"Lai Zhirui is the person invited by the chief escort. Telling him this may cause a confrontation between them. It's hard to say what will happen. After all, it's just my words. Lai Zhirui can use the excuse to say that I am malicious. Slandering him, after all, there was trouble before."

"Similarly, we can't tell those who stay in the escort agency to help, because they will definitely tell the chief escort."

Zhao Rong had already thought about it, "At that time, we will still need the cooperation of you and me, Biaotou Lu, to help each other to avoid being plotted by the dark people."

"Exactly!"

"Pu Kui is probably coming back from Yongzhou Mansion soon. His escort trip was easy." Lu Gui said.

"Since he just left for escort, don't ask him to go to Yingtian Mansion this time. Let him spend more time with his daughter when he has time. That little baby is only five years old and usually alone." After Zhao Rong finished speaking, Lu Gui deeply agreed.

Pu Kui has poor qualifications, his martial arts skills are not as good as theirs, and he doesn't have much power.

If he followed her, she would most likely become cannon fodder, and the fate of his young daughter would be even more tragic.

If you can take care of him, you will take care of him. The two of them have a tacit understanding and do not discuss it with the public.

Lu Gui has twenty years more experience in the martial arts world than Zhao Rong. He is responsible for purchasing all the medicine, hidden weapons, and poisons needed along the way.

Zhao Rong reminded Lu Gui that he was also more cautious than ever.

Near dusk, Lu Shilai finally returned to the escort agency, and he found Zhao Rong alone.

"What did the Third Master say?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Shilai came up with several answers in succession that surprised Zhao Rong.

"I met my mentor and told him everything you noticed."

"but,"

Lu Shilai had a rather puzzled look in his eyes: "My mentor seems to have known about this for a long time, even earlier than you."

"Um?!"

Zhao Rong was startled, "Then why did you let it go?"

"Senior Brother Lai is a disciple of Uncle Lu. My mentor means that Uncle Lu should discipline him himself."

Third Master’s hands are too soft!

Zhao Rong complained secretly.

It seems that what I considered before was still simple.

Hengyang City is the territory of the Hengshan Sect. How could it be that they were unaware of what was happening under their noses? It turned out that they were deliberately ignoring it.

There must be something inside that I don't know about.

"What about the escorts going to Yingtian Mansion?"

"Escort!" Lu Shilai said decisively, "This is what the escort agency does. If you don't dare to take this escort, then don't do the work toward the north."

"The Changrui Escort Agency will collapse, and the reputation of the sect will be damaged."

"Moreover, those people will not let it go, they will only push forward."

"My mentor's attitude is rather confusing. It seems that Uncle Lu also knows something inside."

Lu Shilai guessed: "There may be more than one spy in the sect. They probably want to stop the pain and remove it all at once."

This is possible.

Zhao Rong pondered, "Are you familiar with the character of the chief escort?"

"familiar."

"We can't tell him, otherwise our only advantage will be gone. Lai Zhirui may be feeling proud now."

"Will the third master send someone to accompany him?"

"No, but if we don't suffer any loss, we have enough manpower," Lu Shilai was very confident. "I will make some subtle moves and ask the chief escort to bring all the capable men, including friends who are assisting in boxing."

"What about you, what's your suggestion?"

Zhao Rong thought for a while: "Find a more detailed map. I hope to be familiar with the route before setting off."

"it is good."

Lu Shilai nodded, appreciating Zhao Rong's performance very much.

Then, he took out a volume of book from his arms and handed it to Zhao Rong.

"For you."

"This is?"

"Hengshan's basic swordsmanship," Lu Shilai pointed out, "This is true for all schools in the Five Mountains. Only after you have mastered the basic swordsmanship can you move on to advanced swordsmanship."

"My teacher asked me to give this to you, keep it safe."

"In the past few decades that I have known, disciples who have not become a master are not qualified to practice this swordsmanship." He patted Zhao Rong on the shoulder, "Brother Rong, you are a special case."

"My mentor has noticed you a long time ago."

"I know him well. If he confiscates you as his disciple at this time, he must have his plans. It will definitely not do you any harm."

"Ok!"

Zhao Rong held the book, the knot in his heart became smaller, and he arched his hand in the direction of Mr. Liu.
