But these things can't be said to Li Yunqingming, he can only sneer at Xuanji, after a long time, Li Yunqing thinks that this is Fang Ming targeting him, the result of this state is that Fang Ming is doing everything behind Li Yunqing's back now, including the full awakening of his subordinates every ten days, until now Li Yunqing still doesn't know anything, and the estrangement between the two ministers is getting heavier and heavier.

......

A month later (July 21), the Ink Garden

The weather was hot, and Li An had less to do, so the soldiers were idle and practiced in the courtyard.

Li Yunqing and Xuanji were chatting on the edge of the courtyard wall, near the gate, and were chatting energetically, but they were interrupted by the sound of talking outside.

"I said Zhao Sheng, what is your strength now?"

"I don't know anything else, but I can be sure that even if there are ten of you like this, I can clean it up. ”

"You're on the next level?"

"Of course, the lord is very loving, and I, Zhao Sheng, can have today. You've got to work harder. ”

"Cut, don't stink, nine days later, it will definitely be my turn to make Xu Du. ”

The voices grew louder and louder, and it was clear that the two of them were talking as they walked, walking along the fence towards the gate.

"Brother Qing, what do they mean by Nine Heavens?" asked Xuanji in a low voice to avoid others from hearing it.

"I don't know. "Zhao Sheng and Xu Du He knows each other, Li An's soldiers, listening to the meaning of this, Zhao Sheng has already been promoted, and more importantly, nine days later, it is very likely that Xu Du will be his turn?

"It's not easy, ask someone. Xuanji rolled her eyes and said with a smile, as soon as Zhao Sheng and Xu Du entered the door, she shouted: "Two big men, ask you something." ”

Li Yunqing and Xuanji have often been in the ink garden in the past month, and the two naturally know each other, Zhao Sheng asked, "What's the matter?"

"Big man, your name is Xu Du?" Xuanji heard that this person was Zhao Sheng's voice, so she asked the other person.

"I didn't expect the girl to recognize me. Xu Du stinks and said, which man can hold it in front of beautiful women, especially a stunning beauty like Xuanji.

"Big man, will you be able to break through in nine days? You are so confident in your martial arts. Xuanji blinked and asked softly.

"I have no faith, it is all thanks to the help of the Lord that we can achieve what we are today. Speaking of Fang Ming, Xu Du's face was full of admiration.

"Since it was Brother Fang who helped you, then why do you have to wait for nine days?"

"It's not that the lord needs to restore the inside." Xu Du was about to finish, but was interrupted by Zhao Sheng, "Let's go, the lord is still waiting for us." After speaking, he pulled Xu Du away.

"Brother Qing, it seems that in the ink garden, although your martial arts are the strongest, I'm afraid you don't know Brother Fang." Xuanji was indignant.

"Let's go, let's go back first. Li Yunqing interrupted Xuanji's words, turned around and walked out.

He didn't notice the sarcastic and evil smiling face behind Xuanji.

"But Brother Qing, it's not that Xuanji underestimates you, I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, even if Li Hu's talent is not as good as you, but with the help of Brother Fang, sooner or later he will surpass you and enter the realm of the grandmaster, Xuanji doesn't want to see Brother Qing, who is omnipotent in my heart, being compared. When Li Yunqing stepped out of the gate of the ink garden, Xuanji ran forward and said urgently.

Hearing Xuanji's words, Li Yunqing paused, clenched his right hand, looked back at the ink garden deeply, and then stepped away.

Xuanji behind him had a cold expression: "Fang Ming, wash your neck and wait!"

......

Two months later (September 13), Mao Shi, Mo Yuan, Fang Ming's room.

After a night of cultivation, Fang Ming opened his eyes.

'Dragon Spirit, check my attributes. ’

Fang Ming

Force: 67

Intelligence: 90

Constitution: 67

Power Points: 10/200

Pure Soul Transformation: Strong Skin Realm'

'The force value has reached 67, and now when I cultivate, my attributes have increased faster, I don't know when the next breakthrough will be, I really look forward to what kind of scene it will be after Li An and Li Hu enter the second-grade martial arts. ’

In the first two days, I couldn't get out of my body, and I didn't have a full energy awakening for my subordinates, and I wasted two days of energy points, and it wasn't until last night that Wang Li was fully awakened, which was the second full energy awakening for the ninth soldier in the scout battalion in three months.

Because of their low strength in the early stage, these two people improved slowly, and only reached the strength of the fourth-grade martial artist after two full awakenings, and the force value was basically 61-65, even the Niu family brothers were not as good, Niu Lie's current force value had reached 66, Fang Ming had to sigh, talent is such a thing, you can't force it, but Long Ling explained that their bodies have been transformed twice, and they will eventually reach the ranks of third-grade masters, but the time is much slower than that of Erniu.

"Anyway, time flies so fast, the autumn harvest has begun, and the old man Li Guangyi took Steward Huang to inspect everywhere. "Because Yuncheng County is mountainous, some sunny and rainy places have already finished harvesting crops, while in some places it takes a few days for crops to mature.

"Li Yunqing, this guy, hey!" Speaking of Li Yunqing, Fang Ming's face was full of disappointment, this kid hasn't come to Moyuan to report for a month, is there anyone like this who is a subordinate?

"Lord!" Li Hu's voice sounded outside the door.

"What?"

"Lord, the county government has something important to report soon. ”

"Bring him in. Li Hu pushed the door in, followed by a catcher.

"Lord County Governor, early in the morning, some people went to the county government to report the case, saying that Zhangjiabao was attacked by bandits yesterday, five villagers were killed and wounded, and the grain was robbed. Hurry up and walk in front of Fang Ming and report quickly.

"Bandits, when did Yuncheng County become bandits?" Fang Ming was puzzled, he had been in Yuncheng County for a year, and he had never heard of any bandits nearby.

"I don't know this. ”

"What about the person who reported the crime?"

"Waiting at the county office. ”

"Let's go, let's see!"

"Yes. ”

The county office, inside the class room.

"It's the case you reported. Fang Ming looked at the person who reported the case in front of him and asked.

"Back to the adult, it is the villain. "The person who came was over 50 years old, and judging from his physical appearance, he was undoubtedly a farmer.

"Tell me about it. ”

"My lord, yesterday, it was getting late, the villagers were busy with farm work in the field during the day, all of them were resting at home, suddenly more than 40 thieves rushed into the village, each masked, door to door, door to door, all the villagers were driven outside, divided the manpower to concentrate on the care, and then the rest of the people entered the house and robbed, food, gold and silver utensils, coins, etc. were all taken away, at first a few villagers resisted, after the thieves killed two people, everyone was afraid, no one dared to speak up again. After the thieves loaded the stolen money and grain into the truck and pulled them away, the villain appeased the villagers, and took his two sons to rush overnight to report to the official. The farmer's words paused, and he said a little when he thought of something.

"How many families are there in Zhangjiabao?"

"Lord Hui, a total of fifty-seven families, two hundred and seventy-three people. ”

"Oh, how do you know so well. ”

"My lord, the villain is Zhangjiabao Lizheng. ”

"Have you observed, do these thieves have a lot of weapons?"

"This, the villain didn't know, he was frightened at that time, and he didn't observe carefully. I just remember that among the twenty thieves who guarded us, there were only a few steel knives, most of them clubs. ”

"In Yuncheng County, there has never been news of banditry, where did this group of people come from, how are the villages near you, have you heard of banditry?"

"This, the villain doesn't know, the villain is in a hurry to report the crime, and it's dark night, and he can't see the scene of other villages all the way, only when he goes out of the village, the villain sees from the car prints on the road, they are leaving to the east. ”

"In that case, you are waiting at the county office, and the official will go to see it together after ordering a good person. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Come on, take this old man down to eat something. ”

"Thank you for your care. ”

In the end, considering the possibility of suppressing bandits, and I don't know how many thieves there are, for the sake of safety, except for Li Yunqing, all the people in Moyuan were dispatched.

According to Fang Ming's thoughts, two third-grade masters and thirty fourth-grade masters rushed forward, and no matter how many thieves he had, it would be useless.

Li An led thirty local soldiers to accompany him, all of whom were ordinary awakenings of Fang Ming, and their strength was comparable to that of martial artists in the five-rank realm, and they were also developed into 'his own people' by Li An.

With a large amount of cash in his hand, Fang Ming was not stingy, and equipped all the soldiers with the best equipment, especially the twenty-eight soldiers from the scout battalion, who were strong in their own strength, Fang Ming distributed to them all chain mail that could only be worn by captain-level officers, while ordinary soldiers wore hard armor, unlike other county soldiers, who could only wear a piece of leather armor to guard the vital points, and each soldier was also equipped with a spear and a waist knife. On the shield side, to meet the needs of different combat methods, some soldiers with good archery skills also carried bows and arrows, and these equipment alone cost Fang Ming thousands of taels of silver, and his flesh hurt for a while.

All the soldiers were fully armed, two people in a row, and under the leadership of Fang Ming, they lined up out of the city and rushed to Zhangjiabao.

Two of the county government's catchers came, and Li Zheng, who reported the case, followed the team at the end, Liu Yong stayed in the county seat to maintain law and order, there was no way, Wang County ordered most of the errand officers and arresters to be taken out to inspect the autumn harvest, and there was a shortage of manpower.

In the crops, the farmers are harvesting crops and turning over the land, and they asked a few people casually, after using chemical fertilizer, this year's harvest is the same as Fang Ming's estimate, and the yield per mu can reach about 700 catties, looking at the faces of the farmers full of happiness, Fang Ming sighed, the people's requirements are really not high, and I hope Li Guangyi will use chemical fertilizer in practice.

All the villages along the route were normal, and no one had heard of the bandits, except for the robbery of Zhangjiabao, which did not find anything abnormal.

When we arrived at Zhangjiabao, it was already noon, and the whole village was in a valley, and the thieves blocked the exit, and they couldn't run, it seemed that the thieves had already set their sights on here, and they began to rob when the autumn harvest was over.

After the investigation of Li An and the people, there were no usable clues left at the scene, and the few dead villagers were all killed by ordinary blades, without any special techniques, and it was not like a vendetta.
