Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 57 Promotion

 Triple potential!

How can this not shock Xiao He?

Because it was only last month that Xu Hongyu finally understood the potential of the second skill and practiced another sword skill to perfection. Compared with Chen Mu, Xu Hongyu had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had gone through more than ten spring and autumn years. He has experienced countless fights and is a figure who stands out from the Yu Family Martial Arts School in the inner city.

 Where is Chen Mu?

According to what she knows, she can only practice swordsmanship for four or five years at most, and there is no guidance from a master, so she has to figure it out on her own.

 What is the concept of practicing three postures in four or five years!

Although she and Xu Hongyu thought that Chen Mu had a good understanding in the past and could master a trend by his own exploration, now it seems that they still underestimated Chen Mu. Such an understanding is also top-notch in the inner city. Talent.

 “When did you... happen?”

Xiao He opened his mouth, and after a while he managed to suppress the shock in his heart.

Chen Mu walked back to the eaves with his sword in hand and said, "Just these two years."

In fact, he originally had the idea of ​​exposing some of his talents in skills to gain more attention and facilitate his subsequent acquisition of some resources. However, during the last Black Crow Sect battle, he accidentally revealed extreme skin grinding instead of skills. .

"how did you do it."

 Xiaohe said with a somewhat complicated look.

She is also a warrior who has mastered the Dripping Rain Sword Movement. She understands the difficulty of perfecting a skill. Although it would be easier to hone the second skill after having a foundation of one skill, but that is not the case. Only relatively speaking.

 To understand a different kind of potential, what is still needed is hard work and a flash of inspiration.

 “Practice diligently, regardless of the cold or heat.”

Chen Mu looked at the falling snowflakes in the yard and opened his mouth.

Xiao He shook his head, his tone still a little shocking: "This can't be achieved by just practicing hard. Your talent in swordsmanship is probably no less than that of my master among the people I know. "

Xu Hongyu's father practiced the second level at the age of nineteen and the artistic conception at the age of twenty-seven. With Chen Mu's talent, if he could understand the Xunfeng artistic conception diagram in Qiantiankundi now, he would undoubtedly be able to master the artistic conception. .

 Artistic conception!

That is a power that few people can master even among characters at the bone forging level.

At this time, Xiao He also walked under the eaves and looked at Chen Mu carefully again. Watching the man put away his sword and admire the snow with his hands behind his back, he seemed to feel that his whole temperament was different from before, and there was a kind of handsomeness that he had never noticed in the past. And chic.

She and Chen Mu are now very familiar with each other. She once commented on Chen Mu as 'good', 'very good', etc. But looking at it now, all previous evaluations of Chen Mu still underestimated him. .

Even though it was a little late for him to start practicing cultivation, given time, Chen Mu’s name will definitely be spread in this huge Yucheng.

 “Does anyone else know?”

Xiao He calmed down again and asked Chen Mu.

Chen Mu shook his head and said: "This is the first time I have used these three powers in front of others."

 Xiao He took a deep breath and said: "That's good. Before you step into the realm of Yijin, it's best not to reveal the triple potential casually, otherwise it may cause some trouble."

If the talent displayed by Chen Mu before made some people in the inner city take a second look at it, then the current Chen Mu has realized the triple potential, has extraordinary talents and extreme skin grinding, and would cause an uproar in the inner city.

“Thank you, Sister Xiaohe, for reminding me. I will pay more attention.”

Chen Mu turned to look at Xiao He and smiled at her.

 Actually, the reason why he displayed his triple strength in front of Xiao He was not entirely because he was inspired by her, but because their relationship has gradually gotten closer recently. Xu Hongyu and Xiao He have completely regarded him as one of their own, and it doesn't matter if he shows a little strength.

Moreover, this discussion also allowed Chen Mu to roughly judge his own strength. With the superposition of the three powers, he only needed to use about one-third of his strength to defeat Xiao He.

If he takes action with all his strength...

There is no opponent for practicing meat martial arts. Even if it is a figure in the realm of Yijin, it must be defeated first. At the Yi Jin level, he is no longer considered a weakling in Yucheng, and is considered a backbone and elite among the major families in the inner city. Such strength itself is a kind of confidence.

 “Pfft.”

When Xiao He heard Chen Mu's words, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Just call me Xiao He from now on. I'm not a big sister."

Strength and talent are symbols of status. In the past, Chen Mu sometimes called her 'Sister Xiao He', and she didn't think it was a big deal. But now when she heard such a title again, she felt a little weird, and some confusion arose in her heart. idea.

After secretly glancing at Chen Mu, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks involuntarily, but it quickly subsided and he said: "Okay, I came here to test your strength, but you bullied me. I should go back too." Delivered."

 Xiaohe's words made Chen Mu laugh.

 Why did he bully me, and when people heard about it, they thought he was plotting something against Xiao He.

 And it was obvious that Xiaohe's attitude towards him had changed again. In the past, she still had more or less a "high position" look, but now it has completely disappeared, and she has become more delicate and charming like a girl.

“I will definitely prepare a banquet next time and apologize to Xiaohe.”

 Chen Mu raised his hands to Xiao He.

"I don't have to apologize. I am just a maid next to the young lady. I am destined to be bullied...Okay, I will take the first step." Xiao He waved his little hand at Chen Mu and winked again, which was quite cute.

Chen Mu took Xiao He all the way to the door and watched Xiao He disappear in the snow wearing a bamboo hat.

 …

 Two days later.

 Jiujoli City Guards.

Chai Si Min Baoyi, Chen Mu, Qin Bei and other five chai chiefs all arrived. Everyone's expressions remained solemn. Min Baoyi stood at the front, and then the five chai chiefs lined up in a row, with Chen Mu standing first on the left.

In front of everyone is a man wearing a black uniform. This is not the uniform of the City Guards Department, but belongs to the 'Toji Guards'. The person in front of him is the 'Outer City Guards' who oversees the four major city guards in the southeast, northwest and northwest. 'The Guard.

 The appointment of a chaplain is no child's play.

Even Xu Hongyu, the chief commissioner, cannot make a final decision. She can dismiss other commissioners at will, but she cannot appoint them at will. The appointment of a commissioner must always go through the higher-level outer city capital secretary.

Although the imperial court has declined, many official positions and official systems are still retained in Yucheng.

  For example, the chief police officer of Nancheng District is Cong Qipin.

 The capital of the outer city is Cong Liupin.

Further up is the ‘Yucheng Dutong’, who is the fifth rank, second only to the city lord. He is also the commander-in-chief of the protective army outside the city, and has overall jurisdiction over all military affairs inside and outside Yucheng.

"... Secretary, there is a messenger Chen Mu, who is diligent in work and has good martial arts. He has made many achievements in the battle of the Black Crow Sect. The position of the messenger in Wutongli, Nancheng District is now vacant. After being nominated by Xu Hongyu, the chief messenger of the City Guard Department, Mr. Dusi With approval, Chen Mu will take over the post of Wutongli Chaosi."

 “Thank you, Sir, Sir Dusi for your support.”

 Chen Mu bowed politely.

Qin Bei and others next to him couldn't help but look at Chen Mu at this time, with a somewhat envious look in their eyes. Although they all knew more or less that Chen Mu was Xu Hongyu's favorite and would most likely be promoted to Chasi in the future. , but I didn’t expect it to come so quickly. In less than a year after being promoted to Chashu, the position of Chasi above became vacant.

It happened that the merits of the evil crow religion were justified, and the strong support of Xu Hongyu, everything was logical.

Chen Mu saluted respectfully, but the Dusi Guard did not show off. After receiving a salute from Mr. Dusi behind the representative, he put down the order scroll in his hand, then put on a smile and said: "Brother Chen, from now on The future is bright and I would like to congratulate Brother Chen on his promotion."
