The hand was pressed into the copper basin, and the warm water overflowed from the back of the hand to the wrist, and the blood stains dissolved into silk threads in the clear water and then spread into a rainbow in an instant.

Candlelight, water waves.

Through the gradually changing water, through the candlelight in the room and the reflection of the water, Jiang Zhao saw the faces reflected in the basin - although he was twenty-seven years old, it seemed that he had experienced less wind and sun, so his skin was fair, and his eyebrows were still delicate and childish.

His hands were trembling slightly, which Jiang Zhao knew well.

However, unexpectedly, the first time he killed someone, he killed three in one go, and he did all this in the bloody way of hacking to death with a long knife, and he did not feel the nausea, fear, or even vomiting that was rumored to be.

The heartbeat is only slightly faster.

But the trembling and detachment of his muscles made him feel like he was normal. Humans are adaptable and different creatures - maybe I'm one of those people who can adapt to blood.

Jiang Zhao stirred his hands, and the delicate face in the reflection distorted and deformed, and then disappeared into the waves......

……

Zhao Yuan led the other servants to clean up the blood stains in the courtyard, Jiang Zhao closed the door, sat on the bed that he was still a little used to sleeping, and began to check his harvest this time.

In the system store, the skills extracted from the souls of the three people are arranged on the interface according to their value.

[Water Bandit Actual Combat Knife Technique]: At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Haikou XXX evolved from the eight golden lock knives, Chang~zhou Wujia knife techniques, and some Dongying ronins in the Ming Dynasty in the pirate in their perennial pirate career. It has the characteristics of simplicity and swiftness, and actual combat.

Exchange for Soul Coins: 2800 points

Jiang Zhao knew that this was the skill extracted from the soul of that sea coward. It is a real combat sword technique formed by this fierce water bandit who has been a pirate for more than ten years based on his original martial arts, plus learning and integrating the actual combat skills of various factions! It is characterized by being fast, accurate and ruthless!

Through the "preview" function provided by the system, Jiang Zhao took a general look at the actual combat images of this knife technique, and sure enough, he saw a lot of wonderful pictures. A lot of the kills are crisp and crisp, or the moves are weird and wonderful, which is really good.

[Feiyanmen Light Gong Residual Recipe (5 Doors)]: At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Feiyan Gate Light Gong Residual Technique, the original twelve practice methods have been passed down to the present day with seven methods, and the snitch Mu San'er only practiced through its five doors, so it can only strengthen the effect of the five exercises. They are the iron sand running skills, the spirit monkey hanging tree skills, the raccoon cat biting skills, the goats running pile skills, and the gecko swimming wall skills.

Exchange for Soul Coins: 2700 points.

The difference between this Feiyanmen's light skill and the water bandit's actual combat sword technique is only 100 soul coins, Jiang Zhao knows that if this Feiyanmen's light skill is a complete twelve practice methods, I am afraid that it will far exceed the actual combat sword technique, and the soul coins that he has accumulated for so long may not be enough to buy. But this is, after all, a "residual trick".

And no matter how good the light work is, it seems that it is difficult to fight against the knife technique in a one-on-one situation, so the price is slightly lower.

Also from the preview, Jiang Zhao can see the actual effect of this Feiyan Gong display, and the wonderful pictures of its eaves walking on the wall and jumping over the ridge make Jiang Zhao, who is used to watching the videos of parkour gods in later generations, widen his eyes.

Many of the exercises and usages that I hadn't thought about before, and the hearty ones I watched in this preview video opened Jiang Zhao's eyes.

In addition, there are also skills such as long fists, bone crushing hands, and 32 small grappling techniques from the "Living Ximen Qing", as well as the 'flying knife skills' that the snitch Mu San knows.

Although Jiang Zhao had accumulated a lot of soul coins a while ago, it was obviously impossible to exchange them all.

After carefully considering the time of nearly a cup of tea, Jiang Zhao made a decision.

As the saying goes, "learning the fine does not learn the mediocre", since there are martial arts with higher evaluations, there is naturally no need to learn those inferior martial arts.

Among all the skills provided by the three death row inmates, it is obvious that the attack power of the 'Water Bandit Actual Combat Knife Technique' is the strongest, and because of the relationship between its practical weapons, it is naturally more lethal than that of Ximenqing's boxing technique.

If it was in a modern environment, when knives were forbidden, Jiang Zhao would naturally prefer to exchange fists or grappling kung fu.

After all, modern society can't walk around with a long knife on your shoulder every day, right?

However, in this era, the knife technique is more practical. Especially Jiang Zhao, who has watched the movie, is very alert to the scene that Huang Feihong and his friend Chihuo were blocked in the alley twice in the plot and hacked, despite their strong martial arts, they couldn't escape.

Don't say anything else.

If Huang Feihong and Chihuo had used knives, those members of the Beihai Gang and the Black Tiger Gang would probably not have been so easy to deal with.

According to the martial arts of the two of them, even if they are exhausted, I am afraid that they will have to put seventy or eighty heads on before this!

Compared with the situation of fighting back and forth with fists and feet, often knocking down seven or eight people to kill one, it must be a world of difference!

For the same consideration, "Feiyanmen's Light Skill Residual Technique" is naturally also Jiang Zhao's must-choose.

After the two expenditures came down, Jiang Zhao didn't have many soul coins left, and it was no longer enough to exchange them for other skills.

However, I felt the infusion and fusion of countless information in my mind...... Countless moves and experiences are as if he has personally practiced them for more than ten years, and the effect has greatly increased Jiang Zhao's confidence.

recalled the previous communication with Lei Gong, Lei Gong's walking, walking, sitting, and the "kung fu foundation" and reasons inadvertently revealed between various postures are also reflected in the bottom of my heart.

As for the Northern Kill, Old Snake, and Black Crow, the skills of the people are even more transparent!

"At this time, there is a good knife missing!" Jiang Zhao was all about knives and light skills at this time, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.

……

Four years earlier, the Taiping Rebellion had been shattered by the return of the Manchu government and its brutal massacre of tens of millions of people.

The Qing government, which had survived the turbulent years by reducing the population, returned to the glory because of the promotion and incumbency of a large number of capable officials, so that there was a false prosperity of Tongzhi Zhongxing.

But there is no absolute truth or falsehood in this kind of thing as dynasty luck, as long as it is operated properly and some luck is added, the fake luck will not continue to be blessed.

However, it will be clear to future generations that the Qing government will not be able to raise its head under the ravages of the European powers, and even if it is not conspicuous at this time, Japan, which had just begun the "Meiji Restoration" and the war between the shogunate and the emperor in January of this year, will catch up in the near future, and then completely break the backbone of this great empire in the Korean War and the Sino-Japanese War.

Sitting on the terrace of a teahouse near the Whampoa Wharf, Jiang Zhao overlooks the harbor, where countless sea boats and river boats meet, carrying goods from overseas or inland onto the wharf on the bustling wharf, and from the wharf on completely different ships......

"Hahahaha~~~! Why is Brother Jiang so leisurely and elegant to drink tea in the teahouse today? With a burst of hearty laughter, surrounded by a group of gangs, the fat Lei Gong walked up from the staircase.

When the tea guests on this floor saw that Lei Gong was coming, they didn't need to help the crowd to catch up, so they immediately quietly took the initiative to leave.

This domineering is very similar to the Wu gang leader of the Beihai Gang.

Seeing these tea guests bowing their heads and tiptoeing away quietly from behind Lei Gong's younger brother, Jiang Zhao, who had been in this world for nearly a month, once again felt how servile and obedient this huge empire was. I also vaguely understand the reason why this country was defeated again and again by those small countries in later generations......
