Loan Wusheng

Chapter 3: Swordsmanship!
Who are the brothers Zhao Da and Zhao Er?
Zheng Jun was startled, but soon thought of the two brothers Zhao Da and Zhao Er from the wave of memory.

Zhao Da is the leader of the soap squad, and Zhao Er is just a quick hand in the fast squad. The two brothers have a good relationship with Lao Sun, the leader of the fast squad.

The two brothers were clerks in the county government office and were used to being domineering. A few days ago, Zhao Er drank three taels of horse urine and became unrecognizable. He had an argument with Zheng Jun and they almost got into a fight.

After that, Zhao Er kept an eye on Zheng Jun day and night. It was Zhao Er who made Zheng Jun guard the gate alone during the arrest of 'Wave-riding Thief Lou Wei'.

"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking? Killing an official is a serious crime, and I cannot afford it." Zheng Jun spread his hands helplessly and said, "I practiced with a sword with branches, and I feel that I have become much better. I just want to show off my sword skills..."

The Zhao brothers are indeed hateful, but they haven't yet reached the point of killing anyone.

There are only 140,000 people in Heishan County. The death of one person is a big deal in normal times. If an official dies, it will cause a sensation in the whole county.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Zhou Pu also became interested. He jumped up from the kang, opened the cabinet, took out a broken sword, and threw it to Zheng Jun, shouting, "How can you be proficient in using a Pijia sword? Those constables and fast fighters in the yamen who have some savings have saved up a few coins and gone to the Xu family martial arts hall in the north of the city to practice boxing. Who would still practice with this rotten Pijia sword?"

The Xu Family Martial Arts School in the north of the city is home to martial artists from other places. They are masters of horizontal training and are said to be as strong as iron and invulnerable to swords and spears. Even infantrymen with bare hands can't do anything to them.

There are two other martial arts schools in the county, but they are far inferior to the Xu family martial arts school.

Zheng Jun took the knife and immediately felt it was heavy in his hand. He took a deep breath, weighed it a few times, and walked out of the house.

Zhou Pu was very interested. He tore off a piece of chicken butt and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he followed Zheng Jun and walked out of the house.

He wanted to see how perfect this swordsmanship could be.

Seeing this, Zheng Ping rolled her eyes at the two of them, then held two bowls of muddy wine and walked away, shouting, "Why are you in such a hurry? It won't be too late to play after dinner. It will be cold by then!"

After leaving the courtyard, Zheng Jun clenched the old sword with a mottled blade in his hand, ready to start practicing sword moves.

The so-called "armored sword technique" is nothing more than a practice sword technique developed by some martial arts masters, traveling bodyguards, and farmers. It is one of the basic sword techniques and is very diverse. The so-called "sweep, chop, poke, cut, pluck, hold, chop, and thrust" are all included in it.

Zheng Junzheng was holding the knife, starting with sweeping, then chopping, slicing, and slashing. He practiced all of them honestly, layer by layer, learning the forward, reverse, left, right, and diagonal grips one by one, and his steps and positions were changed quickly. He was really proficient.

On the side, Zhou Pu, who was chewing a chicken butt, didn't take it seriously at first. After swallowing the chicken butt, he took the rice wine handed to him by Zheng Ping, swallowed it quickly, and then glanced at Zheng Jun's practice.

After taking a look, he couldn't figure out anything, but he thought the boy's performance was quite interesting. He grinned and said to Zheng Ping beside him, "This boy doesn't slack off on weekdays and he looks quite good... If I didn't know he had only been here for a month, I would have thought he was some old constable!"

After practicing swordsmanship, Zheng Jun finished the set very quickly. His eyes became much clearer and he learned many skills without any instruction. It was as if they were imprinted in his mind and he could refer to them whenever he needed them.

"The fruit of the future is so mysterious..."

Zheng Jun's eyes were bright. He felt that if he went back to the daytime and stood in front of the door with a knife, those petty thieves would not be his match at all.

[Current repayment progress: 15/5000. ]

The small ink characters flashed before his eyes, and Zheng Jun took a deep breath.

One set of swordsmanship can advance the progress by 15 times, and one only needs to practice 334 times to repay the karma. If one wants to repay it in one month, one needs to practice about eleven times a day, which takes about an hour and a half.

Zheng Jun thought to himself, if that's the case, then although the Dacheng sword technique is indeed hard work, it doesn't seem to be that difficult. No, that's not right!

The way I repay the future consequences is actually a shortcut, because I am practicing with the fully-developed sword technique, so it is naturally faster. If it is a novice who has just learned the skills, it will take at least several times longer to practice. How can he be compared with me?
"Good good!"

At this moment, he heard his brother-in-law Zhou Pu's cheers. Zheng Jun then remembered that his sister and brother-in-law were still there, so he immediately put away his knife and walked over.

"You kid, you're not lazy at all! You wield this sword better than your brother-in-law." Zhou Pu scolded with a smile, "I told you before that a new county lieutenant has been transferred to the county. If you show your ability in front of him, I'll get you a sword! You don't have to come to me to borrow it every day!"

Lord County Captain?

Zheng Jun recalled it and remembered it vaguely.

The previous Lin County Lieutenant heard that the daughter of the county magistrate was ill and needed the gall of an old snake as a medicine. In order to curry favor with the county magistrate, he organized people to hunt snakes in the Black Mountain. However, they failed to hunt the snakes and were eaten by a big monster in the Black Mountain. A number of the hunters and quick hands they brought with them also died. This gave Zheng Jun the opportunity to fill the vacancy of the hunters.

When the county magistrate learned about this, he was furious and reported it directly to the court. The court ordered the county soldiers to go out to fight, and they came from all over the mountains. They said that after they killed two big monsters, they withdrew their troops and returned. At the same time, the court appointed a new county lieutenant who was said to have some background, and he took office in the next few days.

Ah.

Ordinary people were eaten by demons when they went into the mountains, but they turned a deaf ear to it.

When the county magistrate gets angry, he can order the county soldiers to go out to fight, they will move mountains and kill monsters and return.

Power is indeed a fascinating thing.

A thought flashed through Zheng Jun's mind, and then he took the rice wine handed to him by his sister and took a sip: it tasted sour and sweet, a bit like the probiotic drink given away in the Guochao Pinhaofan, but a little harder to drink than that.

After taking a sip, Zheng Jun licked his lips and continued, "Brother-in-law, can you lend me your sword every night to play with it? Practicing sword skills requires practice, day and night, and you will definitely improve!"

"Huh."

Zhou Pu didn't know what to say when he saw this. He patted his head and said, "This knife belongs to the government, not just your brother-in-law. He may have a mission at night, so he can't keep it with you forever... So, you can go with me to the workshop's treasury later. I'll make you a broken knife that needs to be melted down, and you can practice in the government office!"

Is there a broken knife in the yamen?

When Zheng Jun heard the news, he immediately thought of this. There were indeed quite a few damaged weapons like this in the workshop.

However, these weapons need to be melted down and become the assets of the imperial court.

but……

The emperor was far away, and it was not difficult to exchange a broken knife for a small amount of silver in the workshop.

When reporting, why not just report one less?
Thinking of this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but feel happy.

While Zheng Jun was extremely happy, Zhou Pu had already put his arm around Zheng Jun and led him into the house: "Okay, okay, let's go, eat some meat and drink some wine! Why are you blowing in the cold wind in the yard here!"
