In addition to arranging people to inquire about information and make sand tables, Shen Mu did not dare to fall behind at all when it came to cultivation.

The month of the knife, the year of the stick, the long time of the gun.

As soon as Ning Han came up, he chose the most difficult weapon for himself.

Although Shen Mu has worshiped Zhao Zilong who rode the Savior seven times in and out since he was a child, the gentian silver spear made the enemy fearful. I never thought I wanted to practice marksmanship.

Guns, the king of a hundred soldiers.

It's majestic, but if you can't play it, you'll only have to play with a spear. It was really when Shen Muxue began to admire those famous generals who used guns.

Ma Chao, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang.

Zhao Yun, Luo Cheng, Wang Yanzhang.

There is also the Yang family general who has been singing for a long time!

The barrel of the gun is higher than his own, and if he is not careful, he is afraid that it is not the enemy who will be injured, but his own life.

Ning Han was also very relieved to Shen Mu, and he just asked him to practice alone in front of the scarecrow these days. After saying a few words occasionally, he went to seriously teach the people of Wulong Mountain to get swords, bows and crossbows.

Compared with the people of Wulong Mountain, Shen Mu seems to be a free-range child.

Ning Han said that there are too many scarecrows, and the technique is pure. What I want you to learn is not a move, but the inertia of the gun, the way of holding the gun, and the strength of the stab.

Ning Han said, do you think it's easy to stab a scarecrow who doesn't move? What you have to practice is the heart, the eyes, and the coordination of the whole body.

Shen Mu suddenly felt that the fifth uncle could really fool, where was this teaching himself, completely teaching himself to fend for himself.

Well, if you paint a thousand eggs, I'll be Picasso...... The abstract ones don't even know what they are drawing, and they can only rely on stories to make up the level.

As for the so-called secret book of the fifth uncle, it is only a simple explanation of the essence of marksmanship.

The book says: The most basic moves of spear art are blocking, taking, and piercing.

When blocking and taking, you will be instantly energetic, and you will have to whirring when you stop and take it. , and said that playing with guns needs to be like a swimming dragon, flexible and abnormal. The spear is like an arrow off the string, rushing to a line, swallowing in an instant, and the force is like thunder and lightning.

There is no difference between saying these words and not saying them, but it is to draw a map, and it is good to draw a scoop according to the gourd.

Maybe the fifth uncle's painting skills are not good, lest he laugh at himself.

Isn't it a straw man who trains bayonets? Wasn't it also a scarecrow at the beginning of the fight against monsters? Yes, it's a pity that the scarecrow can't speak, otherwise he would have protested and quit his job.

Duan Chao and the others watched Shen Mu start to practice weapons, and they were curious for a while, and then laughed a few words. Later, when I saw Shen Mu's dedication to practicing every day, it was not surprising.

That's right, Mr. Shen's skeleton is not good at exercising, I'm really afraid that it will be blown away by the wind one day.

Today is the beginning of winter, and according to the rules, mutton should be eaten.

Duan Chao sent people to get more than a dozen goats early in the morning, and a group of people slaughtered the sheep and divided the meat, and they were busy in full swing.

Lu Laosan also happened to rush back from Sizhou today. For the other three villages, the first thing Shen Mu wanted to know was the situation of the Brotherhood Alliance. Lu Laosan was familiar with the Xishan Road, so it was naturally the most suitable to send him.

However, Lu Laosan brought back the information that Shen Mu didn't want to believe the most.

The big boss of the brotherhood alliance in Sizhou is not surnamed Yan, but surnamed Huang, called Huang Tailei, and there is no son named Yanbo.

When Shen Mu heard this information, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Yanbo, this person, does not exist?

Who were the people who intercepted them in the woods that day?

Shen Mu recalled at this time that the group of people who ambushed him that day were skilled in bows and arrows, full of accuracy, and even more forbidden to act. It's not at all like the qualities that mountain village husbands and cottage guys can have, but like regular officers and soldiers.

Thinking of this, Shen Muden let out a long sigh.

How can the four major villages exist for so long without a little backing. There must be an intricate web of relationships. As he and Juan talked about at the time, raising Kou is self-respecting.

There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the court who can't do it themselves. And at this time, a character like Qixingzhai can come in handy.

This is an eternal dark deal, and I am arrogant that only my own brain can come up with such a thing. The struggle for power and profit is not to play finance, which appeared relatively late, but the relationship between soldiers and bandits has always existed since the concept of the world.

It seems that the so-called Yanbo should be from the government.

It seems that they did not kill all of their own people, but because of the constraints in the army.

No wonder, they didn't chase after it.

Shen Mudeng had a feeling of hindsight, why didn't he realize this at that time? The fifth uncle was right, the previous self was too confident, confident that everything was under his control. Now that I think about it, it seems that I have been calculated.

Blood Coral, his gang is just here for that rare treasure. Their purpose should be the opposite of Qixingzhai. Qixingzhai got the treasure and sent it to his backer. And the gang bypassed Qixingzhai to snatch the coral, the purpose was to prevent Qixingzhai from offering treasures.

Of course, this is still a plan to kill four birds with one stone.

Qixingzhai is naturally the first to bear the brunt. The unlucky Qixingzhai has to close its doors because of this matter, needless to say, it is natural to discuss countermeasures.

And Wulong Mountain will also be unlucky, because, in a short time, many people will know that it was Wulong Mountain that robbed the blood coral. Endless retribution ensues.

The third bird is the Brotherhood of Sizhou. The IOU written in horse blood clearly wrote the name of the Brotherhood Alliance, and the people who laid it out had long wanted to pull the Brotherhood into this troubled waters. It doesn't matter whether the Brotherhood Alliance has Yanbo or not, as long as the IOU clearly says the Brotherhood Alliance, then Huang Tailei has hundreds of mouths, and it is not clear.

The last bird is probably the ultimate goal of that group of people, the force behind Qixingzhai.

The more I don't want to be used as a gun, the more I end up becoming a pawn in the hands of others.

When Shen Mu thought of this, he suddenly felt a little dizzy. originally thought that if I got that treasure, I could blackmail Qixingzhai. Unexpectedly, so many people were worried about that thing.

It's really a recipe for stealing chickens.

In the current situation, it is necessary to think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible before the revenge of Qixingzhai comes.

No, not only Qixingzhai, but also officers and soldiers.

Qixingzhai can take advantage of this opportunity to find officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress Wulong Mountain.

As for the crime, it is to rob the tribute, which is a major crime of the nine clans.

Shen Mu hurriedly found Ma Linzi and Ma Zhong and told them to quickly return to the hillside of the day to see if the treasure was still there.

Ma Linzi was a little strange and asked, "Why did Mr. Shen only think of digging up that treasure now?"

Shen Mu said: "It's not that I didn't want to, but I couldn't. No matter where the gang came from. As long as they find out that the things in the carriage are fake, they will inevitably send someone to keep an eye on us. As long as one of us goes over to retrieve the treasure, they will definitely catch it. And now seven or eight days have passed, and they have seen that we have not gone to dig up the treasure, but when we are also deceived and deceived, they will naturally withdraw the people who are being watched. At this time, it should be safest. ”

Ma Zhong gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. is really amazing"

Shen Mu said: "You go and go back quickly, no matter if that thing is still there, safety first." Brothers, I want to eat mutton together!"

The two answered, took their horses, and hurried along the road of the day.

Shen Mu secretly prayed in his heart: as long as the thing is still there, there will still be a chance to crack the plan of killing four birds with one stone. If the gang takes the coral, all they have to do is run away.

As soon as the two left, they saw Wang Dongnan rushing back from Dingzhou Mansion.

When Shen Mu saw Wang Dongnan, his heart was shocked, could it be the Seven Star Village operation?

Shen Mu asked, "Brother Wang, why did you come back, but what happened to the shop?"

Wang Dongnan said: "Mr. Shen is relieved, it's not that there is something wrong with the shop, but that the two scholars you said are coming to the door today." Hou Cheng and I didn't know what to tell them to do, so we asked them to wait in the store. ”

Guo Gao and the others came to vote, which is the happiest thing today. However, at the moment, Shen Mu can't leave the cottage, and the matter of Guo Gao and the others can be put aside for the time being.

Shen Mu said: "Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work. First ask the two of them to get acquainted with it in the shop, and say that I am a comprador in the field, don't talk about the cottage, they are both scholars, don't scare away people, tomorrow morning, I will go over to arrange. ”

Wang Dongnan saluted, turned around and left. Shen Mu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Wang, don't leave yet, go and meet with the big boss first, and report it." Today is the beginning of winter, I will go back and ask the third brother to prepare some clean mutton, and you can take it back to celebrate the festival with Hou Cheng. ”

When Wang Dongnan heard this, his heart warmed and he said "Okay". went to find Duan Chao to report back.

In the evening, the two horses retrieved the coral.

In order to avoid causing a commotion among the crowd, Shen Mu only taught Erma to take Coral to Duan Chao's room together.

Duan Chao was trying to calculate the total amount of silver in the past few days. Since Wang Dongnan reported the list, Duan Chao found an abacus and began to fiddle with it. The abacus was brought back from Dingzhou a few days ago, as the master of the village, if he didn't know how much silver he had in his silver village, wouldn't it be a joke for Shen Mu.

The algorithm of the abacus is Professor Zeng Roushui. Zeng Roushui's abacus is Professor Shen Mu's again. Although Zeng Roushui came to ask about the usage of the abacus, Shen Mu already knew that it must be for Duan Chao, so he didn't break it immediately, and it took half an hour to finally teach Zeng Roushui to understand the meaning of the beads on the abacus and simple addition and subtraction.

Duan Chao calculated for a long time, and always felt that something was wrong. It's a pity that Zeng Roushui is not here, and he can't ask. When I wanted to ask Shen Mu, I was afraid that his stinky face would preach for a while.

When Ma Linzi knocked on the door, Duan Chao was already sweating profusely, and when he heard that it was Ma Linzi, Shen Mu and others, he hurriedly put away his abacus, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and calmed down before opening the door.

Duan Chao saw Ma Zhong holding a tightly wrapped thing in his hand, looking mysterious, and said strangely: "Ma Zhong, what kind of messy things, hold them to me." ”
