Chapter 3 Ten Years
Whoa!
The wooden table was torn apart in the chaos of several people, and the fragments flew to the distance and fell to Qi Yuanming's feet.

He stared closely at the side, thinking that these people should know kung fu, far better than ordinary people's kung fu.

Wait a while to see if you can touch something, it's not a loss.

But when several people were at a stalemate, another old man walked out of the carriage.

Lifting the sword, stabbing, it seemed inevitable, and killed him with one move.

A simple sword.

The assassin died.

The two servants hurriedly dragged the assassin's body to the back of the carriage, but the maid had no time to rest, so she went to help the frail young man back into the carriage.

Qi Yuanming, who was waiting to pick up the leak, could only stare blankly.

The dead are not spared?

Qi Yuanming shook his head, drank the last sip of tea, and watched the carriage and the people walking into the distance.

It has nothing to do with him anyway.

He packed up his prey and was ready to continue to set off. The episode just now did not bring him any benefits.

Although things like this are not common, they do happen occasionally, sometimes in the city, sometimes at the gate of the city, and it is really rare to see such things in tea sheds.

After entering the bustling city of Wumi, he found a place in the market and put his prey on the stall.

Qi Yuanming waited quietly.

His hunting skills are superb, and there is no shortage of people who buy them.

Someone once offered a price of ten taels of silver in January, and asked him to supply it exclusively.

But he still refused. First, the price at the market is higher, and second, he can meet more people, maybe he can get to know more people.

……

a few days later.

It was still the day to go hunting in the mountains, and such a day-to-day life made him feel a little boring.

But today, something is different.

At dusk, Qi Yuanming suddenly found a pool of blood in the dense forest on his way home.

It obviously didn’t exist before coming here, when did this appear?

Qi Yuanming approached, touched it with his finger, pinched it lightly, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it...

This is not animal blood, this is human blood!

Years of hunting life have given Qi Yuanming a clear understanding of the relevant knowledge. Generally, the blood of animals in the mountains is darker red and thicker.

It's definitely not the blood that hasn't dried up on the ground.

Although it is very similar to human blood, it is different after all.

Qi Yuanming raised his hand to look in the direction where the blood was going away, and swallowed.

finally coming?

chance?

Or disaster?

But this day-to-day life eventually bored him.

In this small place, I don't know any martial arts people at all. Although I have heard of one or two martial arts sects, the other party saw that he was just a hunter, so they all rejected Qi Yuanming's request to join.

Only the repeated hunting and sales... made him a little tired.

Anyone would be tired, right?

Raising his vigilance, Qi Yuanming boldly followed the bloodstains and walked in an unknown direction.

Although he hadn't been in this direction a few times, he had some impressions that there were no wild boars and tigers nearby, so it was considered safe.

Along the way, the grass and bushes on the ground scratched Qi Yuanming's already dirty clothes.

But Qi Yuanming didn't care at all, because it was getting closer.

He could sense that the wounded and bleeding man was nearby!

Where the blood disappeared, he looked around.

Finally, behind a huge tree, Qi Yuanming found the man in black lying on the ground and passed out.

Without hesitation, he went straight to attack the man in black, but he didn't find the so-called martial arts cheats.

But he's still breathing...

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Yuanming finally chose to take him home.

The man in black's face was pale. Although the wound on his abdomen was no longer bleeding, it was obvious that he was extremely weak.

If left here alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive tonight.

Carefully carrying him on his back, step by step, he walked back to the wooden house he had built with great effort.

……

"you're awake?"

Qi Yuanming stared at the vigilant man in front of him and asked softly.

"Who are you? Where is this place?"

The man looked at Qi Yuanming, then looked around the room, realized that the other party was not malicious, and asked calmly.

"My name is Qi Yuanming, and I am a hunter of Wumi Mountain. This is my home, a wooden house built at the foot of Wumi Mountain."

Qi Yuanming replied softly.

"Oh……"

Seeing the man lower his head, Qi Yuanming handed him a bowl of water: "Then who are you? And why did you end up in such a state?"

"I can't say." The man shook his head.

"I'm your savior, can't you say that?"

"If you can't say it, you can't say it. It has nothing to do with you saving my life." The man's tone became more serious.

Hearing the man's words, Qi Yuanming smiled:
"Well, that's good. I'll go to the city tomorrow and ask if there are any men in black who fled to Mount Wumi."

This is a threat.

Very simple threat.

The man suddenly raised his head and stared at Qi Yuanming: "You! Hmph!"

"Can we talk now?" Qi Yuanming's face returned to calm.

If he didn't say anything else, he would really go to the city to ask.

Even if this person is handed over to the City Lord's Mansion in exchange for some money, it is still better than nothing.

The man covered the bandaged wound and was silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth:
"My name is Li Qing. I'm an assassin... I was ordered to assassinate Qingfeng Sect's young master Zhang Jian... and I was seriously injured by him."

"Hehe." Qi Yuanming laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at!?" Li Qing was a little excited.

He just wanted to get up, but a pain in his abdomen made him lie down again.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yuanming stopped laughing and asked instead: "No, that Zhang Ju is so powerful?"

Li Qing frowned and said unwillingly:

"He hides it too deeply. We all thought he was just a half-baked guy, but we didn't expect that he had already practiced the Qingfeng mental method..."

Qi Yuanming listened silently.

Although Li Qing didn't say his origin, he could vaguely infer from his words that he was from the City Lord's Mansion.

A few days ago, a distinguished guest in the City Lord's Mansion was assassinated, and all the clues pointed to Qingfeng sect's young master Zhang Ju, so he sent people to assassinate Zhang Ju as a courtesy.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuanming suddenly remembered the assassination at the roadside tea stall a few days ago. Could it be that the delicate young man was a distinguished guest of the City Lord's Mansion?
who knows...

But Qi Yuanming was only thinking about how to make money from it, not money, but martial arts cheats!

After thinking about this, he simply asked: "You should know martial arts, right?"

"Although I haven't cultivated inner strength and mental skills, I still know a little bit about boxing and kicking." Li Qing was not proud, but said lightly.

This is just his humble words, he can be sent to assassinate Zhang Ju, even in the city lord's mansion, he can be counted as a master, worthy of any external skill practitioner.

I just didn't expect Zhang Ju to hide it so deeply...

Hearing this, Qi Yuanming asked generously: "Then can you teach me martial arts? Treat it as my reward for saving you."

"I've been fond of martial arts since I was a child, but I have no way to do it..."

Li Qing showed a look of surprise, he only held the other party to prevent exposure, and what he revealed was in twos and threes, not the whole picture.

Didn't expect him to have the idea of ​​practicing martial arts?

With his eyes narrowed, Li Qing said slowly, "I can recommend you to the City Lord's Mansion to practice martial arts, how about it?"

Qi Yuanming was delighted in his heart, but his face was still calm: "Really?"

What he lacks is an opportunity!
With a low background and not having grown up in a sect since childhood, no one would accept him as a disciple at all.

Even knowing that there are many people in the City Lord's Mansion and the Qingfeng Sect who know martial arts, they just lack that stepping stone.

They are separated by a door, but there are thousands of differences, which separates Qi Yuanming and the matter of martial arts far away.

Li Qing nodded.

……

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, ten years had passed.

During the past ten years, Qi Yuanming successfully entered the City Lord's Mansion with the help of Li Qing's relationship, where he could learn superficial martial arts.

Later, I continued to make contributions and gradually learned some good external skills.

Using the martial arts and resources of the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Yuanming practiced hard and became a martial artist stronger than Li Qing.

He has also reached the limit of what this body and age can achieve. Although he is not as good as the second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, he is already a rare strong man in the small place of Wumi Mountain.

This also made him more eager for the legendary inner strength method...

That night, Liu Ruxin of the City Lord's Mansion called Qi Yuanming to his room.

This Liu Ruxin was exactly the delicate young man he had met in the tea shed ten years ago, he was of noble status, and he was the illegitimate son of the head of the Liu family.

Now the old city lord of Wumi City is about to die, and Liu Ruxin has accumulated ten years of accumulation, and with the help of the Liu family, becoming the new city lord is already the trend of the times and the aspiration of the people.

"Yuan Ming, you and I have been together for ten years."

Compared with the fragile one ten years ago, Liu Ruxin looks much more mature now, with a little beard and a bigger body.

In the past ten years, Liu Ruxin, as the young lord of the city lord's mansion, has won the support of many people, gradually gained power, and became No.1 under the city lord.

"Well, it's been ten years." Qi Yuanming affirmed.

When he came to the City Lord's Mansion, he realized that the assassin Li Qing belonged to Liu Ruxin, and it was Liu Ruxin who used the power of the City Lord's Mansion to exclude Zhang Ju from assassination.

Then naturally, Qi Yuanming became Liu Ruxin's confidant.

Catch animals and collect medicines for him, search for mountains and seas, assassinate opponents, and prove his loyalty with his own actions.

At the same time, Liu Ruxin also provided Qi Yuanming with some resources needed for martial arts and martial arts, and helped Qi Yuanming become stronger as much as possible.

Thanks to this, the entire City Lord's Mansion, no matter whether it is up or down, knows that Liu Ruxin has a loyal and powerful follower.

In the spacious house, after receiving Qi Yuanming's answer, Liu Ruxin heaved a sigh of relief and kept pace.

"I want you to do something."

"Please tell me, my lord." Qi Yuanming said decisively without hesitation: "If you give me an order, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will go!"
