Mu Tianming told the city defense army at the gate of the city, and showed the identity card of the county lord of Maying, saying that he had caught a mountain bandit leader.

The city guards inspected and let them go.

Mu Tianming took the yellow-faced man to the headquarters of Qingshan City at the Six Gates, and asked Qiu Fu and the three of them to go home first.

Li Yuanhao came out to greet him and said: "Brother Mu has made a great contribution, this person's name is Huang Si, he is a bandit in the vicinity, and he has to buy less to rob the house and kidnap the ticket and tear the ticket." Those who were tied up by him to the mountain would be served by him with sticks and knives, and finally collected the money, squeezed the oil and water, and then were tortured to death. ”

"I'll leave it to you." Mu Tianming said.

"According to the regulations on punishment in wartime, these mountain bandits who wreak havoc in the rear can be immediately sentenced to death and executed on the spot." Li Yuanhao said, "In the past, death row prisoners needed to be handed over to the capital for review, but now everything is simple, according to the laws of wartime. ”

A few more messengers from six doors came out, verified the identity of the yellow-faced man, and grabbed his fingers and pressed his fingerprints.

Huang Si shouted: "I'm looking for a master!" ”

"Hey, tell Lord Yama to go." Li Yuanhao carried him to Caishikou Street next to the six doors, and shouted loudly: "Today, the mountain bandit Huang Si was caught and sentenced to death, and he was executed immediately." ”

Li Yuanhao drew his sword.

Mu Tianming was beside him, hurriedly pulled out his war knife, handed it over and said, "Use my knife." ”

"Want to get a sabre in the blood? Yes. Li Yuanhao took the sword.

Some of the surrounding people gathered around to watch the killing.

Huang Si saw that he was really going to kill him on the street, and hurriedly shouted: "This is not in line with the process!" I want to see the master! ”

Li Yuanhao spat on his face, picked up the knife and slashed down.

Poof!

The head fell to the ground and rolled two meters away.

Blood dripped from the blade, Li Yuanhao shook the knife and returned it to Mu Tianming.

An hour ago, Huang Si was still robbing in the mountains, and now that his head has landed, maybe he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out to rob today. But to do this business, there will be this day sooner or later.

Mu Tianming took the knife and asked, "Brother Li, I want to get more blood with this knife, do you still have a head?" ”

Li Yuanhao said: "In the six-door prison, a group of rogues were detained, as well as a group of barbarian prisoners. will be beheaded in the near future. Originally, the Ministry of War planned to exchange prisoners with the barbarians, but I heard that the barbarians had killed a group of our people, so we also retaliated and killed a group of them. ”

Mu Tianming said: "Then use my knife." ”

"Okay, the pattern of your knife is really beautiful, and more blood can ward off evil spirits, and it can also make the owner of the knife more brave in battle." Li Yuanhao said, "I'll invite you to dinner at noon, and I'll ask Zhao Dushi to arrange the beheading of the captives in the afternoon, let's go together." ”

"Okay."

Mu Tianming said.

On his saber, he is blessed with a [Blood Drinking Talisman], which requires the blood of thirty people to be drunk to activate the enhanced special effect.

Yesterday with the barbarian small-scale ambush battle, this knife drank the blood of five barbarians, today beheaded the mountain bandit Huang Si, if you use it in the afternoon to see the head, presumably today can reach the number of thirty people.

In a soup restaurant, I ordered four dishes and one soup, and the two of them ate it.

Li Yuanhao returned sixty taels of silver, which he borrowed from Mu Tianming a few days ago. Now that I have paid a fortune, and I have received a bonus for killing the barbarian yesterday, I will pay it back when I have money.

Li Yuanhao said: "The heads of the four barbarian sentry scouts are worth five taels of silver each, plus a high-quality grassland war horse, which is worth forty taels. Yesterday I won a bonus of sixty taels. Your share has also been reported, and when it is approved, I will send it to the house for you. ”

"Did the red-robed woman catch it?" Mu Tianming asked, "The one who drove the medicine slaves." ”

"King Huaixi's subordinate Qiyue will take over, and the news will not be transparent, where will we know." Li Yuanhao said, "Actually, after I came back, I thought about it carefully, yesterday fortunately, the people who prayed for the moon went, otherwise the five of us would fight with the red-robed woman and the five medicine slaves, and it would be difficult to say whether the outcome would be said." ”

Mu Tianming also nodded.

Li Yuanhao said again: "Yesterday you killed the barbarian sentry, and today you captured the leader of the mountain bandits and came back, according to the wartime reward regulations, your merit is enough to be promoted." Do you want to come to our six doors to do it? Transferred from Maying County, we will be brothers together in the future. ”

Mu Tianming said: "I bought an official, an idle job, and I went to your six doors to work every day, so uncomfortable." ”

"Haha, too." Li Yuanhao said, "You should be able to be promoted to the county magistrate." ”

While they were chatting, a young woman in a silk skirt walked out and saluted the two.

Li Yuanhao said: "Brother Mu, I will introduce to you, this is Yazhu, my newly accepted concubine." Because the fierce man in the family didn't let her in, I bought her a small courtyard. Her father is the owner of this soup restaurant, and she is idle and bored on weekdays, and she also does something here. Yazhu, toast to Brother Shepherd. ”

"Yazhu salutes the pastor. I wish you a long and healthy life, and you will rise step by step. ”

The young woman poured the wine, brought it to Mu Tianming, and after smiling, she raised a glass herself.

She has an elegant posture and a delicate face, like a flower dancing in the wind.

Mu Tianming took the wine and drank it with her.

Li Yuanhao said: "The dishes in this small restaurant of her house are good, and the pastoral brother can come to patronize more in the future." Discounts for you. ”

"Well said." Mu Tianming said.

The one named Yazhu toasted and withdrew.

Li Yuanhao drank a few glasses of wine, and said: "Although Yazhu's family has a restaurant, her father is in debt and the family is poor, which is extremely difficult. If I don't return to the case one day, Yazhu will entrust it to the care of the shepherd. The shepherd brother took her home and gave her a bite to eat. ”

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"I'll entrust it to you, what do you mean...... She is very skilled. Li Yuanhao said, "She also has a docile personality and is a good woman who does not fight or grab." If something happens to me, you take care of her. ”

"......," Mu Tianming said, "Why do you say this?" ”

Li Yuanhao wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "Recently, there are always brothers who have been injured in handling cases, and I am afraid that something will happen to me." Anyway, if I entrust Yazhu to you, I will rest assured, you are a good person, and you should not treat her badly. ”

“…… You'd better take care of it yourself. ”

Mu Tianming ate the vegetables.

Li Yuanhao seemed to have something unspeakable, but Mu Tianming didn't ask after several inquiries.

The two ate and chatted again, and in the afternoon, they went to the execution ground.

Two rows of prisoners about to be executed knelt on the ground.

Li Yuanhao took Mu Tianming's saber and handed it to the executioner.

The executioner took the knife.

The official in charge looked at the time and shouted: "Today, I will behead thirty-three barbarian prisoners of war to comfort the souls of the dynasty and execute them!" ”

Woooooooooooooooo

The horn of war sounded.

Knock knock knock!

The drums of war are ringing in unison.

Poof, poof, poof!

The executioner wielded his sword and cut off the heads one by one.

A faint red light entered the blade of the knife.

……

In the evening.

Mu Tianming returned home with the knife, and after killing the prisoners of war in the afternoon, the blade had completed the conditions for drinking the blood of thirty people.

A row of small print also appears in front of the retina:

[After the conditions of the blood drink charm are completed, please choose one direction to strengthen: 1: Toughness, 2: Sharpness, 3: Weight gain, 4: Rust prevention]

Mu Tianming thought for a moment and silently recited "one"

[Your saber is strengthened by the Blood Drink Charm to gain special effect Tenacity]

Mu Tianming saw this typesetting, and then saw a faint red light flashing on the blade.

For high-tech alloy steel, there is no shortage of sharpness, but toughness is the more. The higher the tenacity, the less likely it is to be cut or broken in a confrontation.

At dinner.

Mu Tianming dined with the three concubines, and the three of them opened their mouths and chatted about the mountain bandits they encountered during the day.

Originally, it was according to the ancestral motto of "eating without saying a word", but it was too dull, so Mu Tianming asked everyone to talk about something casually.

Zhang Wan'er is a newcomer, acting in strict accordance with etiquette, and the audience silently eats in small sips without interjecting.

Mu Tianming introspected himself, it was too risky to take his female relatives on a trip today, passing through the mountains. If it weren't for the leader of the mountain bandits, with his one person and one sword, I am afraid it would be difficult to resist the siege of dozens of bandits, not to mention that he had to be careful of the archers' hidden arrows.

After dinner.

Mu Tianming was in the study, continuing to comprehend the "Secret Book of Organ Puppets", and by the way, he dismantled the puppet.

This puppet is an ancient thing given by the Star Spirit Ancestor, and it is said to be a relic of the defunct gate.

Through disassembly and matching the secret book, Mu Tianming has a more thorough understanding of the production process of this puppet.

The next few days.

Mu Tianming concentrated on studying the puppet production.

Blacksmith Park forged the parts of the "warehouse" and the skeleton of the puppet.

Mu Tianming began to assemble in the study, and the meals were all eaten in the study.

According to the secret book, assemble the warehouse.

Biting his fingers, he drew a secret text with his own blood and painted it on the skeleton of the puppet.

As for fillings, there are plenty of options, all kinds of meat and plants are available.

Ambushed the barbarian sentry in the dense forest of Qingshan Lake, and received four packages, and there were a lot of "Seven Star Sponge Grass" available.

Mu Tianming used these sponge grasses as fillings and tied the grass to the puppet skeleton.

Put the "jujube nucleus crystal" into the puppet's chest, and the specific techniques were learned from dismantling the sparring puppet. There is also a light blue crystal in the sparring puppet.

Once everything is assembled, it is placed in the "warehouse".

The warehouse has been loaded with six "jujube core crystals", and at this time, the whole body exudes a faint fluorescence.

Mu Tianming has already begun to look forward to what kind of puppets he can make in the "Secret Book of Puppeteers of the Organs" that he has been studying day and night for a month and a half.
