There is still a month to go, and the prisoner ring competition in the edict prison is about to begin.

In order to improve their fighting skills, many of the participating martial artists began to catch and practice martial arts in the prison barn, so every morning, as long as the prisoners who did not have labor tasks would gather in a circle in the small open space in the prison cell, watching the martial artists in the same warehouse compete.

At this time, no matter how noisy it is, as long as no one dies, the jailer doesn't care.

This competition is a tradition left over from the Imperial Prison for many years, deep-rooted, just like the Chinese New Year, a natural and festive day, and it is also like a carnival dance party organized by the prisoners and the Imperial Prison Jinyi Guards and the outside gold owner, and the participants are deeply fascinated, temporarily forgetting the game itself and the bloody and cruel life of the prison life.

Yan Long had no interest in learning and practicing with the prisoners, not only because his martial arts training could always be carried out in the system space, but also because at this time, his attention had already been placed on another matter.

――How to effectively and quickly contact Xia Houba!

There is no doubt that this otherwise inconspicuous matter has turned into a big problem.

Because Lao Liang, the eyeliner and liaison person sent by Zhang Yang, has been hanging beside Yan Long, this is in the open, and it is difficult to say whether there are other eyeliners in the dark.

His relationship with Jiang Wei and his relationship with the Qianfang Sect must not be discovered by Zhang Yang, in order to keep it secret, so even if Xia Houba, as the jailer general banner who manages the Dongcang Qianzi, has come to their warehouse several times, Yan Long has not passed on the message to Xia Houba.

He's waiting for an opportunity.

Two days later, the opportunity came.

There are countless prisoners in the Imperial Prison, there are large and small things, thousands of things, difficult to express, so some miscellaneous and trivial flow accounts, all need to be written down with paper and notes, over time, these transactions involving the operation of the Imperial Prison more and more flow accounts, at the end of the year or the beginning of the year, the above people have to come to check the accounts, so the Beizhen Fu Division needs to transcribe these flow account books out a lot of copies, and then send a copy to various departments for verification.

So the question is, how to copy so many accounts?

The edict prison has given full play to the fine tradition of making the best use of things and making the best use of talents, and most of the prison inmates are scholars, anyway, it is the copying and copying of some irrelevant running accounts, and whoever copies is not copying!

Therefore, gathering these scholars and copying them is the most cost-effective way to save the manpower of Jinyiwei.

Yan Long was a highly educated person in his past and present life, especially in Chinese studies, so whether it was simplified or traditional Chinese characters, whether it was pen characters or brush characters, it was difficult for him. After the assessment, Jin Yiwei, who was responsible for recruiting people, was very satisfied with his words!

So, it was a great honor for Yan Long to become an honorable scribe.

Facts have proved that being educated is good, no matter what you are in prison or what you do, you have a feeling of superiority.

Yan Long and the others were assigned to separate compartments to begin copying, the compartments here were like open compartments during scientific expeditions, with partitions on both sides and at the back, and the front was open, so that they could not disturb each other or communicate with other prisoners during the copying process.

This is exactly what Yan Long wants to see, because it gives him a chance to write something alone.

As long as the jailer on patrol didn't pay attention, he began to write down a secret book of words from his memory in his previous life. With each page, he incorporated it into his backpack in the system space.

After a few days, the codebook was almost completed, and the code words on it were processed by Yan Long, which was more suitable for use in prisons, and some of the secret words were also more refined, and he gave up many things that were not needed in the original.

After writing this codebook, he put it in the system space backpack, and then the most critical step was how to hand it over to Xia Houba.

Jiang Weigui is a thousand households in prison, limited by his identity, in order to avoid suspicion, of course, he can't often come to the prison to "visit" Yan Long. Xia Houba can often inspect the various prison warehouses, but in full view of everyone, it is not easy to smoothly hand over the secret script.

On the last day of copying, Yan Long stacked the ledger he had copied in one day and prepared to hand it over to the jailer.

The jailer who collected the ledger walked to his cubicle.

It's Xia Houba!

Yan Long quickly took a look at his surroundings, and within his line of sight, there were only two people, him and Xia Houba.

Xia Houba was about to speak.

Yan Long put his finger to his lips and shook his head, signaling Xia Houba to silence, and then quickly took out the secret language book from his arms (in fact, he just used his robe as a cover and took out the secret language book from the system backpack) and handed it to Xia Houba.

Xia Houba has followed Jiang Wei for many years, and he is also a careful, calm and calm person, and he is not surprised when he sees this, so he puts away the secret language book closely. Then he began to say in a loud voice, "Prisoner 568, have you copied your ledger?"

Yan Long also responded in a normal voice: "Tell your lord, everything has been copied, and everything is inside." With that, he pointed to the secret book in Xia Houba's arms with his finger.

Xia Houba understood, picked up the stack of ledgers on Yan Long's table, and turned to leave.

Yan Long saw Xia Houba's performance, and was very satisfied: "This person is bold and careful, calm and calm, but he is very suitable to be a connector." ”

In the ciphertext, there is an agreement on the code language, and it is also agreed on the place where the code word is written throughout the prison.

In the future, as long as the two sides can have the opportunity to approach the place where the code words are written, they can communicate with each other without meeting, of course, this place where the code words are written needs to be secret, and it needs to be a place where Yan Long can reach.

There were many such places in the Imperial Prison, and the prisoners in the prison also had various opportunities to get out of the warehouse, so Yan Long was not worried about the lack of places to write code words.

When he returned to the prison barn, Yan Long saw Lao Liang in his neighbor's shop, so he greeted him with a smile and said, "Lao Liang, why don't you go and join in the fun!"

Lao Liang also smiled: "I have an old bone, so I don't bother to be beaten by others." ”

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the open space in front of the warehouse door, Yan Long pretended to be an opportunity to chat with Lao Liang and sat on the side of his bed. When he saw Lao Liang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he knew that Zhang Yang must have something to say to him.

Sure enough, as soon as he approached, Lao Liang lowered his voice and said, "Shangfeng asked you, why haven't things progressed in the past seven days?"

Of course, the thing refers to killing Ran Tianci.

Yan Long secretly laughed in his heart: "You have been using me as a gunman, and you don't want to help, Lao Tzu is in a hurry!" There was a sad and gloomy expression on his face, and he said softly: "What is the environment like here, you don't know, I'm also anxious, but the precautions are very strict, and I have nothing to do." With that, his eyes glared at the iron fortress with the iron gate closed.

Lao Liang approached Yan Long and said, "If you have any needs, please feel free to mention them." I'll do it myself. ”

"Let me think about it!" Yan Long said with a smile.

At this time, someone approached their area, and Yan Long got up and returned to his bed, lying on the bed and pretending to sleep.

In fact, he entered the system space and continued to practice the Overlord Hammer Method.

Cultivating martial arts is different from cultivating internal force, it must be combined with moves and internal force, and the main thing to study is the combination of internal force and moves, so you must use your mind to cultivate in the system space.

Now Yan Long's internal force cultivation is going on anytime and anywhere, so it is progressing quite quickly.

Seven days ago, he still had the three acupoints of the Du Mai (Zhiyang Acupoint, Lingtai Acupoint, and Shendao Acupoint) unopened, as long as these three acupoints were opened, the internal force level could be officially promoted to the high level of the Acquired Realm.

Through these seven days of hard training, he felt that the internal force in his body was like a spring breeze, sending out a strong force surging within the Du Pulse, and it was entirely possible to take advantage of this momentum to open up to the Yang Acupoint and then take a step closer to the higher level of the Heavenly Realm.

But Yan Long didn't do that.

Instead, he carried out the foundation building method in the Ziyang Nine Dragons Technique, and dispersed the internal force true qi cultivated for many days into the acupoints that had been opened up one by one, although this practice slowed down the rise of the realm to a certain extent, but because the acupoints that had been opened up were consolidated by the vitality again, the capacity of the internal force stored in the acupoints was further expanded, and the speed of internal force circulation was also faster, which was equivalent to the further reinforcement of the foundation of a high-rise building, which was beneficial and harmless for the future cultivation and advancement.

Of course, there is another important reason why Yan Long did this!

――Because the martial arts level appraisal before the ring match is coming!
