The Martial Saint begins by collecting corpses.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the county government was somber and oppressive.

Lu Ming hadn't expected his first meeting with Chu Sanfeng to be like this, and his pupils constricted slightly.

But he quickly calmed down, bowed to Chu Sanfeng, and said:

"What do you mean by that, my lord?"

Chu Sanfeng snorted coldly, remaining silent. Li Xiu, standing to the side, solemnly said:

"Lu Ming, it's one thing for you to kill Li Hu in the street earlier."

"You even prepared a fighting stance; consider yourself lucky to have gotten away with it."

"Later, they used the name of the county government to collect protection fees, which seriously damaged the reputation of the county magistrate."

"Today, the Giant Strength Gang, the Iron Palm Gang, and two other gangs invited you to a banquet. You went to the banquet, but instead, you tricked my county government's secret agents into poisoning you."

"Since you entered the government, you have been using the power of the county government to seek personal gain by any means necessary!"

"What do you take the county magistrate's mansion and the magistrate for? With what you've done, you deserve to be beheaded ten times over."

As Li Xiu spoke, there was indeed some anger in his eyes.

He didn't expect that after Lu Ming obtained Xiao Wule's identity from him last night, he would immediately go to find Xiao Wule and, in his name, have Xiao Wule poison the wine.

He was both shocked and furious when he learned of this.

Lu Ming is absolutely audacious!

However, news just came that Lu Ming had indeed easily dealt with the four gang leaders using this incident.

This made him admire Lu Ming; he was indeed decisive and ruthless in handling matters.

Unfortunately, Da Hu's superior physical constitution is the county magistrate's hope, so they have no choice but to give up on Lu Ming.

If Lu Ming is left here, no matter how much they train Da Hu, in the end they will probably only be doing the work for Lu Ming's benefit.

"Lu Ming, what do you have to say?" After Li Xiu finished speaking, Chu Sanfeng looked at Lu Ming and said indifferently.

Lu Ming remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

"What does Your Excellency mean?"

Chu Sanfeng remained silent.

Li Xiu continued:

"You've only been here in the manor for a little over a month, and so much has happened."

"We dare not keep you here any longer. The Duke has already written a letter and sent it to Shen Mo of the Zhenye Division. You can go to him and join the Zhenye Division."

"Perhaps there will be a better future."

Lu Ming thought to himself that Shen Mo had probably come to their door, and the county government was just going along with it.

Just as he was about to reply, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside. Turning around, he saw Da Hu burst in.

"Big Tiger, come back!" A man hurriedly caught up from behind, looking somewhat annoyed. It was Chen Yihui.

He didn't expect that in a moment of inattention, Da Hu would sneak out of the training ground. Although this guy seemed a bit silly, his intuition was surprisingly good.

Seeing the situation in the hall, Da Hu turned to Chen Yihui and angrily said:

"You said you'd show me the true intentions behind the Canglang Fist. But it was just a way to stall me and get them to drive my brother away, wasn't it?"

Seeing this, Li Xiu knew he was in trouble and quickly said:

"How can you say you're driving your older brother away? Your older brother has found a better place to go. Letting him stay here is harming him."

He then gave Lu Ming a meaningful look, his eyes containing a hint of threat.

Chen Yihui, who came in from outside, didn't say a word, but he also frowned as he looked at Lu Ming.

How did Lu Ming gain Da Hu's trust? If only he had met Da Hu sooner.

"Big brother, tell me, are you leaving? I'll go with you." Da Hu stared intently at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming thought to himself, "True intention? What is this thing? It seems to be the true essence of the Canglang Fist."

It seems that Chen Yihui is indeed very satisfied with Da Hu's talent and is now about to pass on his true intentions to Da Hu.

A moment of silence fell over the hall, the atmosphere subtly tense.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Ming suddenly smiled and patted Da Hu on the shoulder:

"Big Tiger, you stay here."

"Big Brother!" Big Tiger's eyes widened, about to speak.

"Big Tiger, listen to me. The reason we're always on the defensive is because we're not strong enough."

Lu Ming stared at the tiger and spoke slowly.

"You can receive the best training here, and I can better utilize my abilities at the Town Night Division."

"Cultivate yourself diligently, for life is long!"

Lu Ming patted Da Hu on the shoulder again, turned around and left. He went to the courtyard to pick up Monkey and Wolf, packed his things, and left the county government office that day, arriving at the gate of the Zhenye Division.

"You really came." Shen Mo greeted him from inside, a smile on his face.

After Lu Ming and the other two left the county government office, Da Hu remained sullen and silent.

That evening, he quietly packed his things and prepared to leave through the side door.

"Big Tiger!" A shout suddenly came from behind.

Da Hu turned around and was immediately stunned. He said somewhat guiltily:

"Instructor Chen, Lord Gong, have you been waiting here all this time?"

For more than a month, Chen Yihui taught him with great patience, care, and dedication, and Da Hu naturally felt this sincerity.

Therefore, he actually had great respect for Chen Yihui.

Chu Sanfeng, as a county magistrate, could be said to be the person with the highest official status in Heishui County, yet he went to such lengths for him, for which Chu Sanfeng was very grateful.

only……

"Dahu, listen to me. You may not know how talented you are. Among all the people in Heishui County, your martial arts talent is probably number one," Chen Yihui said solemnly.

Da Hu shook his head and said in a low voice:

"Instructor Chen, Lord Gong, you don't know, it was my elder brother who dug me out of a pile of corpses."

"At that time, a group of people contracted the plague. Even though I was not dead, I was left there by the others."

"If it weren't for my older brother saving me, I would be dead already."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yihui frowned. He hadn't expected that Lu Ming had actually saved Da Hu's life. No wonder Da Hu was so devoted to following him.

Upon hearing this, Chu Sanfeng sneered:

"He only cares about your large physique and wants to train a suicide soldier."

"Given his cunning, do you think he would risk contracting the plague to save you without absolute certainty?"

"You were saved through your own abilities. Although it was related to him, you don't need to be so preoccupied with it."

"Your future is limitless, and if he cares about you, he won't stop you from moving towards a better future."

After hearing this, Da Hu remained silent for a long time, lowered his head, concealed his face in darkness, and walked back with his luggage.

"Okay, I'll stay."

……

"What did you say? Sun Ji is dead? The leaders of four gangs, including the Iron Palm Gang and the Giant Strength Gang, are all dead. They were all killed by Lu Ming!"

"And none of the people we sent noticed that Lu Ming had been going in and out of the county government office so many times during this period?"

Inside a mansion, Zhao Meng was gently waving a folding fan when he suddenly heard a report from his burly subordinate. His face darkened instantly, and anger and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"Are you trying to tell me that Lu Ming can fly?"

The burly man's forehead was beaded with cold sweat as he gritted his teeth and said:

"We've already investigated. There's a left-side door inside the county government office that connects to an abandoned pharmacy. He probably entered and exited the county government office through that door, which is outside our monitoring area."

Watching Zhao Meng take a deep breath, his gloomy expression gradually returning to calm, the burly man continued:

"According to the information gathered, one of Lu Ming's subordinates, named Da Hu, actually possesses superior physical constitution."

"Superior physical constitution?" Zhao Meng's gaze sharpened.

The burly man nodded:

"The county government values ​​this person highly, but because of this, they drove Lu Ming and the other two away. They probably want to really and thoroughly cultivate Da Hu and don't want him to associate with Lu Ming and the other two anymore."

Zhao Meng suddenly realized:

"I see. If it's a top-tier physique, in just over a month, that tiger could very well have already broken through to the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement."

"Lu Ming has some cleverness and tricks up his sleeve. With the help of Da Hu's strength, it's not difficult for him to do these things."

Having said this, he had completely calmed down, opened his folding fan again, and gently waved it as he spoke:

"Now that he's been kicked out, Uncle Li, since you've personally taken action this time, I don't want to hear any more news about him."

The burly man, Uncle Li, nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said:

"They've already gone to the Town Night Division, probably to catch the latest round of assessments. I'll stay near the Town Night Division and wait for him to come out so I can personally crush him."

Zhao Meng shook his head and smiled: "He even went to the Zhenye Division? That magistrate of the county government is no indecisive person. He recommended him to the Zhenye Division, probably to appease Da Hu."

"The Night Guard isn't easy to get into. Go ahead, and when he fails the test and comes out, you make your move."

Uncle Li nodded and turned to leave.

Zhao Meng withdrew his gaze from him. Uncle Li was a veteran meat-training martial artist, and this time he was secretly murdering Lu Ming. Lu Ming was doomed.

Now his brow was furrowed; he was troubled by something else.

"Someone, why haven't the latest batch of corpses arrived yet...?"
