Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 17 Zhao Zong

 As soon as I walked into the bedroom.

Even though the room was dark, the dark clouds dispersed a little, and the moonlight shone into the room, making the situation in the room much clearer, allowing Chen Mu to see clearly at a glance.

I saw that both Chen Yue and Wang Ni had been awakened by the previous movements, but the two little girls looked different at this time.

Wang Ni looked obviously frightened. She was curled up at the foot of the bed and shivering. Although she couldn't see clearly, she could vaguely feel the fear in her eyes in the dim light.

But she was so scared that she didn't make a sound. The reason was that the other little hand was covering her mouth tightly, but it was Chen Yue who was leaning next to her, half-hugging her, and covering Wang Ni's small hand with one small hand. Her mouth prevented her from making any sound.

 If you look carefully.

You can see that Chen Yue's body is shaking slightly, but he grits his teeth and tries to stay calm. He not only covers Wang Ni's mouth, but also prevents himself from making any sound.

 Chen Mu taught her these things. No matter what happens at night, she must not make a sound. She has always remembered it and understood the reason very well. If it is something bad, panicking and shouting will only make it worse.

She didn't know what was happening outside, but she only knew that no matter who it was, if it hurt Chen Mu, just like the stories Chen Mu had told her, she would endure it and try her best to live a good life. Go down, and then... use all your strength to get revenge and make the person who hurt her brother pay the price.

"elder brother?"

Seeing that the person who walked into the room was Chen Mu, Chen Yue's chaotic thoughts finally calmed down a little, but she still didn't dare to make a sound. She just opened her mouth slightly and made a mouth shape towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu closed the door, nodded slightly at her, and said, "It's okay."

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Chen Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she let go of Wang Ni, she couldn't help but rushed over and hugged Chen Mu, and began to cry.

 No matter what, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl. She was awakened from her sleep in the middle of the night, and encountered a situation where a robber came in and her brother rushed out with a knife. She was strong enough to endure it until now.

"OK OK."

 Chen Mu patted Chen Yue's back and put her on the bed, feeling deeply that this sister had grown up.

 Well, it’s growing up in every sense of the word.

 When he first came to this world, Chen Yueke was not as alert and strong as she is now. It was also because of his years of instilling various ideas from his world that made her heart grow rapidly.

 The period from twelve to fifteen years old happens to be the most critical period for psychological growth.

 At last, his hard work was not in vain. Although there was no near miss tonight, Chen Yue's reaction still made him very happy.

Even if she couldn't help crying at this moment, she was still trying to lower her voice, just whimpering. Wang Ni next to her didn't cry at all, but she was frightened even more severely, and she was completely blinded by fright. , I haven’t recovered yet.

 “Stop crying, we will move to another house in a few days.”

Chen Mu was thinking while comforting Chen Yue.

Tonight seemed to be a disaster. I got nothing and had no chance to touch Tang Quan's body. But in fact, there were some benefits. First, it came into the sight of Xu Hongyu, the chief mission officer, and secondly, he couldn't touch Tang Quan's body. However, Tang Quan's wanted reward for finding the body was impossible to get rid of because of Xu Hongyu's dignified status.

In addition, his demonstrated strength has been initially recognized by Xu Hongyu, and it is estimated that he will be promoted to a poor position by Xu Hongyu during this period of time. When he gets some money, it will be no problem to get a microdermabrasion method, and it will be no problem to move to another house. It's logical.

Chen Yue and Wang Ni were both frightened.

Chen Mu kept comforting the two little girls until midnight. They coaxed them to sleep together, and then they fell asleep together.

 …

 The next day.

 Chen Mu got up early in the morning.

 When he woke up, he was lying in the middle. Chen Yue on the left looked like a koala, with four little paws hooked on him, while Wang Ni on the right curled up next to him, like a little chicken.

 Chen Mu moved Chen Yue's hands and feet aside, then walked out of the door and glanced at the place not far away where he and Tang Quan fought last night. There were still stains of blood on the ground there, but it had completely dried up.

 “It seems to be okay.”

Chen Mu nodded slightly.

Although Xu Hongyu took away Tang Quan's body last night, there was no guarantee that there would be no more trouble, so he slept very lightly. However, nothing else happened after the night, and no one even checked around here, which meant that he had indeed arrived. Xu Hongyu stopped.

The two little girls were very frightened last night, so he didn't wake them up. He went to the woodshed to make a fire and cook. After the trouble, he woke them up to eat, and then comforted the two little girls for a while. Then he put on his official uniform and went to the City Guards Department.   Conventionally listed and flipped.

What happened last night seemed to be uneventful. The news that Tang Quan, who was wanted, was dead, had not spread, and there was no discussion along the way.

Many policemen were still talking about various personnel matters, as well as the widow on West Street and the top star of the flower house on East Street.

 “Chen Er is here.”

 Liu Song and Li Tie smiled when they saw Chen Mu coming, and then called Chen Mu to set off.

But Chen Mu shook his head and said, "I have to go to the headquarters at noon, so I won't go on today's patrol."

Liu Song and Li Tie were a little surprised when they heard this, but it was not uncommon to send someone to the headquarters. It might be to deliver official documents on behalf of the chief, so they joked a few words with a smile, and then the two of them went on their way.

As the sun rose, a large number of police officers in the yard quickly left in scattered directions. In the end, only a few police officers such as Chen Mu and Ren Yan were left in the yard. Ren Yan rarely went on patrol recently. , saying that he was staying at the City Guards Department to do the work of sorting out official documents, but in fact there was nothing at all.

Even occasionally practice swordsmanship in the small courtyard behind.

Just when Chen Mu was calculating the time and it was almost time to set off for the headquarters, Qin Bei, the chief officer in blue clothes, and Zhao Zong, the chief officer who had not been to the city guard department for a long time, came side by side.

Zhao Zong used to come to the City Guards often, because he was getting older and didn't miss Goulan Land much, but he rarely came here a few months ago. After the news of the relapse of an old injury came out, many people were surprised.

 “Master Qin, Master Zhao.”

The few scattered messengers in the courtyard immediately stood up and saluted.

 Chen Mu slightly observed Zhao Zong, the old chap, and saw that his complexion had indeed declined a lot compared to before. There were some scattered black hairs, but now they were all gray, and there were many wrinkles on his face.

Compared with the past, the whole person is a little less gloomy and bleak, and a little more kind and lonely.

 “The arrest warrant for the evil thief Tang Quan can be withdrawn.”

Qin Bei walked in with his hands behind his back and announced in a calm voice.

After hearing this, Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly. It seemed that the news spread very quickly. It was probably sent by Xu Hongyu, but it seemed to have nothing to do with him, because Qin Bei didn't look at him at all, but After the announcement, he and Zhao Zong walked towards Ren Yan.

 “Qin Tou, Mr. Zhao.”

 Ren Yan was respectful to Qin Bei and Zhao Zong.

Although the policemen in the yard basically think that he will be the new chief to succeed Zhao Zong, he is not yet after all. In front of other police officers, he is very casual and casual, and he still maintains respect when facing the two chiefs.

Zhao Zong was very satisfied with Ren Yan's attitude. He stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Okay, the best is better than the last... How far have you reached in your skin-polishing skills?"

Ren Yan smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Go back to Mr. Zhao, and you have achieved some success."

Zhao Zong nodded and said: "Well, the sword technique is about the same. In another year or two, when the skin sharpening is perfected and the sword technique is perfected, it will basically be done."

 It is difficult to perfect sword skills these days, but with perfect skin sharpening and sword skills, you are not weak anymore. You can basically deal with more than a dozen armed thugs without any problem, and you can be very reliable as a bad guy.

certainly.

If one can practice swordsmanship to perfection, then he is a rare talent, because even if he is only in the realm of skin-grinding, with the skill of practicing "shi", he can still compete with some martial arts who have just entered the level of meat training and whose skills have stopped at Dacheng. .

To put it bluntly, whether it is skin grinding or meat training, it is all a matter of water grinding. As long as there are enough resources to train it, anyone can be stacked up, including sword masters. If the big forces in the inner city want to cultivate this kind of private soldiers, they only need to It's no problem if you have money, but it's different if you practice your skills to the point of "shi". As long as you practice the body tempering method to the level of flesh training, you can compete with ten flesh training martial artists of the same level, and easily kill dozens or hundreds of ordinary gangsters. Then It's enough to become a police officer.

 “Want to have a drink with me?”

 Zhao Zong smiled and spoke to Ren Yan.

Ren Yan quickly said: "Mr. Zhao opened his mouth and dared not to obey orders."

Qin Bei also smiled slightly, and then went out with Zhao Zong and Ren Yan, not paying attention to the other messengers in the yard.

A few scattered policemen looked at Ren Yan and the two police officers walking away, and they couldn't help but look envious. Only Chen Mu always looked calm. After the people disappeared, he looked at the sun, then stood up and left the city. Wei Si, go to the General Department.
