Chapter 16 Guidance
"They're just a bunch of kids. Talking to them about killing with one blow and being ruthless is like casting pearls before swine. Don't even mention demons and monsters; have they ever killed cattle or sheep? They have to learn to walk before they can learn to run."
Once they've laid a solid foundation, take them hunting in the mountains a few times, slay some demons, and seriously injure some people. They'll naturally understand what fighting is. Right now, teaching them techniques and rules is more important.
Sun Shun said.
"That's why, even though part-time tutors receive an extra bit of national fortune energy every month, I still don't want to take care of children. If it were up to me, I'd just take them to the mountains for real combat. Getting some blood and a few injuries is more useful than anything else."
The man in black shook his head and sighed.
"That's our fresh blood, not weeds."
Sun Shun rolled his eyes.
"You've achieved the unity of your bones, tendons, and blood for a while now, so when are you going to the secret chamber to break through your Qi Sea?"
The man in black sized up Sun Shun. At this moment, Sun Shun had not concealed his aura, and the man in black could clearly feel Sun Shun's abundant energy.
"Originally, I planned to finish teaching the classes in the next two days and then go for the breakthrough, but the commander said it would be best to use contribution points to exchange for a Qi-breaking pill, and then rent a Dragon Tiger Secret Chamber before making the breakthrough."
With the help of the Qi-Breaking Pill and the aura of national fortune, my chances of breaking through will increase by at least 30%, and even if I fail, it won't damage my foundation.
Sun Shundao.
"This is indeed the safest method, but it costs a lot. Both the Qi-Breaking Pill and the Dragon-Tiger Secret Chamber require a considerable contribution."
The man in black nodded in agreement.
"I'll almost have enough."
Sun Shun thought for a moment and then said.
Wealth can move people's hearts, and fine wine can make people blush. If there are not enough benefits, who would be willing to fight demons and monsters on the brink of life and death?
Sun Shun changed the subject: "Alright, enough of the small talk. You didn't come all this way just to check on me, did you? Are you going on a mission?"
"No task, just trouble."
The man in black scratched his temple, his tone tinged with distress: "The commander-in-chief gave us orders to only monitor and deter those major smugglers and gangs, and not to take any action for the time being, but things haven't been peaceful for the past month or so."
"Has another smuggling deal been hijacked?"
Sun Shun asked.
"Yes, last night, the Li family's smuggling deal with the Green Gang was robbed. About twenty men were all killed, including Minghe, who had already broken through to the Blood Gate."
The man in black said, "The entire courtyard was turned into a morgue, and Minghe himself was beaten so badly that there wasn't a single intact bone left on his body."
"Should!"
Sun Shun made no attempt to hide his delight. He smirked and said, "If it weren't for the Commander-in-Chief's order to only monitor and not take action, the Green Gang's shady dealings would have been wiped out long ago. Having someone else do the work for us, isn't that much easier?"
"On the surface, all I can say is that the Commander-in-Chief has his own considerations, and there might be a deeper level of power struggle involved, requiring a consideration of the overall situation in Gaoyang County. Privately, I think the same as you: it was good that he was killed."
The man in black said, "But an order is an order. If the commander-in-chief says we can only monitor, then we can only monitor."
"You suspect I did it?"
Sun Shun understood immediately.
"There are many people in Gaoyang County who can easily kill Minghe who has broken through the blood barrier, but there are not many who can make him give up the idea of escaping, fight to the death, and take nearly twenty of his subordinates with him to their deaths."
Of these few people, most wouldn't get involved in this mess or meddle in other people's business. Even if they were willing to meddle, they wouldn't have enough information.
With several leaders killed in succession, Minghe is no fool; he will naturally change locations. Even with our intelligence capabilities, we only obtained the general area of the transaction a day in advance.
Therefore, after rigorous selection, only three forces remained that possessed both the capability and the motivation.
The man in black held up three fingers: "The county government, the imperial guards, and us."
Yesterday you were on leave, and your performance met the standards, so the commander-in-chief sent me to ask you if you did it.
"no."
Sun Shun denied it without hesitation.
After a pause, he added, "Although I do really want those Green Gang members to die, an order is an order, and I won't do anything unnecessary."
The man in black remained silent, his gaze sharp as he stared at Sun Shun, who stared back without blinking, his face completely composed.
After ten breaths, the man in black nodded: "I believe you."
"I'm leaving now. You can continue taking care of the child."
After saying goodbye, he turned and left.
"etc."
He had only taken a few steps when Sun Shun called out to him. When the man in black turned around, Sun Shun asked, "Were traces of our methods found at the scene?"
The man in black nodded: "Flash Talisman."
"It really wasn't me. If necessary, I can go to the interrogation room to report to the commander after class."
Sun Shun said.
The man in black waved his hand, said nothing more, and left.
"That's not the case. You're just a suspect. Those who should be in the interrogation room for questioning have already gone."
Sun Shun watched the man in black leave, his eyes full of doubt. Who exactly did this job of acting on behalf of Heaven?
In the shade of trees at the edge of the drill ground.
"You really think that way?!"
Liu Yu looked Fu Que up and down, as if he had only met him today. Was he really the same Fu Que who had committed manslaughter and had no choice but to hide in the Tiger Cavalry?
"Anyway, the choice is yours. You should know that in Da Zhao, no one dares to withhold the favor of those who die in battle as Dragon Tiger Cavalry, but it will only be bestowed upon one generation, which is you. Your children will not have this benefit."
Fu Que calmly said, "Your mother chose not to receive the full compensation, but instead used most of it to send you to the Tiger Cavalry. Do you understand what that means?"
"They just want me to take over my dad's job, but I'm really not cut out for it!"
Liu Yu looked distressed. He had tried to improve his martial arts skills before, but he simply didn't have the talent or the comprehension.
"That's only one point. Use your brain. Why did your mother still let you stay in the Tiger Cavalry after she knew you had no talent for martial arts?"
Fu Que was speechless. What a blockhead! He could only point to the dejected teenagers not far away.
Liu Yu looked in the direction he was pointing, and when he saw the slightly worn training clothes of the group of young men preparing to ride the Tiger Riders, a thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind: "You mean...?"
"Sometimes, the measure of a person's value is not necessarily how much ability they have, but how much value they can leverage."
Seeing that Liu Yu roughly understood his thoughts, Fu Que continued, "The young people who were selected all have good aptitude for martial arts."
However, not everyone can afford the expenses of learning martial arts, and the Tiger Cavalry is not a charity; it cannot take care of everyone. At this time, someone should lend a helping hand.
If outsiders reach out, it will be seen as an attempt to win over the Tiger Cavalry, and there's a chance they'll get a seat in the Imperial Prison.
But your helping hand can only be considered a gesture of camaraderie; who can say a word against that?
