It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

"Is it related to the Eight Special Skills?"

Zhou An narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

This news is indeed somewhat unexpected.

He suddenly remembered that it seemed that he hadn't encountered the Eight Special Skills in a long time.

Specifically, a long time ago, a Zongxing with eight unique skills was cut off.

Unexpectedly, another eight unique skills appeared now. It seems that Zong Xing has been stable during this period because he is holding back his ultimate move.

"Which eight unique skills are they?" Zhou An asked.

He Sheng pointed to the corpse on the ground and said: "One of the eight unique skills is arranging troops and dispatching generals."

Arrange troops and dispatch generals?

Zhou An touched his chin and said, "It doesn't seem to fit very well."

He knows the eight tricks.

In the information given by the emperor at the time, there were also explanations and explanations about arranging troops and dispatching generals.

The eight unique skills of arranging troops and dispatching generals are actually derived from the miscellaneous profession of generals.

Generals are one of the few miscellaneous skills that exist today that have been handed down from that era.

As we all know, the original eight unique skills were all derived from miscellaneous skills.

The founder of Eight Special Skills combined various skills to create the most representative Eight Special Skills.

The general's profession is all about winning by quantity, and most of them appear at the border.

It is said that powerful generals who command powerful soldiers are all leaders in their realm.

For example, the weird one that Zhou An encountered in the palace cemetery before commanded the weird one and was even able to exert its peak strength in the psychic realm.

This business is all about quantity.

Placing troops and dispatching generals was born out of this industry, but it is even better.

These eight unique skills are not limited to soldiers at the border, but can even be controlled by people in the industry.

Not only can it be controlled, but it can also enable people in the industry being controlled to exert strengths beyond their capabilities.

Regarding these eight unique skills, they have also appeared in the arena.

Back then, there was a man who had a platoon of soldiers and generals in his hand, and turned his entire family into platoons of soldiers and generals.

Not only can they exert their strength beyond their limits, but they can even strengthen their own abilities in arranging troops and dispatching generals through practice.

Later, this family only had a few hundred people, but it defeated a powerful force with thousands of people in the world.

In that battle, the person in charge of arranging troops and dispatching generals sat on the throne. With a wave of his hand, the people of those families attacked and defended in an orderly manner, as if they were in a deserted land.

If it hadn't been for this person getting bigger and bigger later on, and even becoming rebellious, he would probably still be living a comfortable life.

This is the power of platooning troops and dispatching generals.

Not only can he perform exceptionally well, he can also practice on his own and gain stronger strength.

At that time, Zhou An thought that if he had this ability, he would only need to divide the things he controlled into different types to become the overlord of a party.

For example, there is an attacking part, a defensive part, and you can even arrange some auxiliary parts such as treatment.

These eight unique skills are perfect for group fights.

Basically, we'll beat you up in a group.

"Sir, as far as I know, the reason why these people were drained of Qi is because they used their Qi as soldiers and controlled them all."

He Sheng explained: "This is a manifestation of how troops and generals have been trained to a high level, and it is also a manifestation of how troops and generals can control people."

"If anyone is disobedient, they can be killed immediately."

When Zhou An heard this, he checked the bodies on the ground again.

A question suddenly occurred to him.

"Perhaps, the other party adopted the so-called double-combination method just to plant the seeds of arranging troops and dispatching generals." Zhou An said.

He connected all the clues and came up with the result.

Approach these family forces through a combination of methods, and then plant the seeds for arranging troops and dispatching generals.

Thinking about it later, what will the indulgent people do after they take control of these families?

In the simplest way, using these families to organize troops and generals can cause horrific consequences.

"Control all the families immediately." Zhou An waved.

After this decision came out, He Sheng was slightly stunned.

"Sir, if this is the case, wouldn't it be a warning to others?" He Sheng said hesitantly.

They cast the net just to see the plan behind Zong Xing.

If these families are controlled now, it will tell Zongxing that they have found the reason.

The indulgent one will definitely not show up anymore.

Snakes hiding in the dark are the most dangerous. He Sheng felt that doing so would risk alerting the snake.

Zhou An shook his head and said: "You control it first so that the situation does not spread further. Next, I will naturally have a way."

If you follow the conventional method, it must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and slowly figure out the ultimate goal of vertical sex.

But there are risks.

A member of the family has died today. Although this family is a traitor, who can guarantee who will die next?

Zhou An's doing this, although in He Sheng's view, controlled the risk, it also cut off his escape route.

Of course, He Sheng didn't know that Zhou An had also considered it, and it was very simple.

"I don't need to follow the clues at all. I'm only 20,000 points short of proficiency in Bagua arithmetic."

Zhou An thought to himself: "After reaching level seven, count again, and then you can strike accurately."

Controlling the situation while also being able to strike accurately from behind was what Zhou An wanted.

He Sheng stopped thinking about continuing.

As the Zhensi Si, Si Jing is in charge of the entire Zhensi Si.

Zhou An had spoken, and their subordinates could only obey.

Thinking of this, He Sheng quickly accepted the order.

"Dispose of these corpses and then start." Zhou An narrowed his eyes.

If you want to cause trouble, I'll play with you.

Soon, the town police began to deal with these corpses.

Zhou An left the house and went to Zhenguisi alone.

Now that something happened, he couldn't do anything.

After returning to this town, Zhou An took out the information about the major families in Huaixi Jing and checked it carefully.

"Anyway, I am good at arithmetic, so I don't need any restrictions on the venue. I just stay in Zhenguisi so that I can find out the specific things as soon as possible."

Zhou An thought to himself.

Bagua arithmetic does not need to be like other skills. It can be performed anytime and anywhere. For him, it is the same everywhere.

There are also rooms reserved for resting and sleeping here in Zhenguisi, so it is more convenient to stay here.

After making up his mind, Zhou An also continued to read.

It didn't take long for him to sort out the situation of all the families.

"These clues are not very complicated. What exactly are the manipulative people planning to do?" Zhou An thought to himself as he touched his chin.

The above things are indeed not very complicated.

Zhou An just doesn't understand what the meaning of indulgence is.

If you just want to rely on arranging troops and generals to cause trouble, then why do you want to kill your own people?

When arranging troops and dispatching generals, victory depends on quantity. If you kill your own people, wouldn't you be cutting yourself off?

Zhou An couldn't understand, but it wasn't a big problem.

"After you get it under control, the other party should react."

Zhou An thought to himself: "Then following this reaction, we can actually find key clues."

"If it doesn't work, my Bagua arithmetic will reach level seven soon. Then I can try to see if I can figure out the specific root cause."

You have your plan, and I have my ladder.

Zhou An has also made a follow-up plan and is waiting for the plan to start spreading.

He was doing it here, and on the other side, there was a place where the man in black robe was hiding. At this time, he was sitting on a chair with the old god present.

"Sure enough, Zhensi Si has taken action and is preparing to control all the families. It seems that Zhou An's vision is a bit short-sighted."

The man in black robe sighed: "I thought he was as magical as the rumors in Jianghu, but I didn't expect that he would actually use such low-level tricks."

"If I could control it just by controlling it, I wouldn't have done this."

Next to the man in black robe, the woman in gauze stood with her hands down and said nothing.

There is a unique momentum in the veiled woman, which is very strong.

"Now, the focus of those families controlled by the Suppressing Spies has shifted to the other side, so that is our real goal."

The man in black robe asked: "Are you ready?"

The veiled woman nodded: "My subordinates are ready and will go to the Yamen on a certain day to have a good chat with Pei Jingling."

"It's best to choose a suitable opportunity, you should understand." The man in black robe said.

The veiled woman responded respectfully, indicating that she knew.

The man in black robe withdrew his gaze and said nothing more.

He stood up, came to the window, looked at the street outside the window, and said slowly: "The real platoon of troops and generals, how can it be the platoon of people?"

"You all got it wrong, including those who were in charge of arranging troops and dispatching generals. They all got it wrong."

"The real role of platooning troops and dispatching generals is the platoon's ability and leadership!"

The man in black robe turned around, looked at the gauze woman, and said: "I have worked hard to let you get in touch with warriors and Qi masters, and then transfer all their Qi and abilities to yours through the ability to arrange troops and dispatch generals. On the body."

"Now, your ability has reached the peak of the psychic realm, and you have mastered the abilities of dozens of martial arts warriors and Qi refiners."

"But only by arranging troops and dispatching generals can these capabilities not conflict."

"Next, the only thing left is scholars, and Pei Jingling is the best scholar in Huaixi Capital."

"When the three major categories are gathered together, you will surpass the psychic realm. By then, Huaixi Capital will become a dead city."

"This is my real purpose!"

When the man in black robe talked about this, his whole body began to tremble.

"Killing is the happiest thing. No one understands how good the joy feels when a new life disappears."

"Watching their pain and struggle is just a joy."

Those who join in indulgence are amplifying their own desires and doing whatever they want.

The same is true for the man in black robe.

He is bloodthirsty, extremely bloodthirsty.

And I like to appreciate the despair of the murdered.

Only through indulgence can he have room to develop.

"Now, I didn't expect that I would meet Zhou An."

The man in black robe said sadly: "It is said that Zhou An has the ability to overcome adversity. With such strength beyond the psychic realm, I am looking forward to seeing if he can kill him!"

The gauze woman said slowly: "Master will definitely succeed."

The man in black robe suddenly turned his head: "Honestly, do you hate me? I let you do such a dirty thing, and I used you to control their Qi, and then used your troops to dispatch your generals to give the illusion of purifying Qi."

The veiled woman shook her head and said: "I was just a little person, and it's only because of my master that I have the strength I have today. The master is very kind to me, and I don't hate him."

The man in black robe did not continue to speak.

He just expressed his feelings and didn't care whether Qingsha Woman hated her or not, because Qingsha Woman was his general, and the abilities of Qingsha Woman were his soldiers.

"While the Secretary is distracted, I will arrange a suitable opportunity for you to enter the Yamen tomorrow," the man in black robe said.

The veiled woman nodded, indicating that she understood.

Soon, the room fell into silence.

——

Time flies by.

When the next day came, the Yamen was busy.

As the yamen of Huaixijing, there are many and complicated things here.

Pei Jingling was currently in the lobby, looking at the book in his hand.

He has to deal with a lot of things every day. He starts from the morning and has to be busy until the afternoon before he can rest.

But for him, he is already used to it.

"Zhen Guisi has also become busy recently." Pei Jingling put down a booklet and said calmly: "Zhou An must be busy too."

The master next to him had a goatee and said with a smile: "Zhou An encountered this kind of thing not long after he came to suppress Guisi. He must be very worried."

Pei Jingling chuckled: "You deserve it."

Just two simple words.

The master didn't say anything and just echoed in a low voice.

For the master, he knew Pei Jingling's character well.

To put it more clearly, Pei Jingling is a person who is very good at judging the situation.

At the beginning, he was also a founding hero of the great Chu State, and his contribution was also great.

He even became attached to the Prime Minister's lineage early on.

Nowadays, the Prime Minister is not happy with Zhou An. This is something that many people know. Pei Jingling naturally stands in line.

So now that something happened to Zhou An, Pei Jing ordered Quan to see it as a joke.

As for helping, that's impossible.

"By the way, many maids have resigned recently. Have they recruited new ones?" Pei Jingling asked.

I don’t know what happened recently, but many maids from the government offices have left.

So Pei Jingling started recruiting again.

Naturally, they have servants and maids when they serve as imperial officials, and this is also to arrange things in their lives so that they can work better.

The master hurriedly said: "There have been very few people coming recently, but this morning, a woman named Susu came over. We have already received it."

Before Pei Jingling could speak, the master quickly added something.

"Don't worry, sir. We've found out. He's innocent and there's nothing wrong with him."

"That's good." Pei Jingling did not continue, but began to read the book.

This look lasted all afternoon.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Pei Jingling stretched himself and returned to the inner courtyard.

The backyard of the Yamen has always been their residence.

At Pei Jingling's age, he was already married and had children.

My son was very ambitious and became the magistrate of a county.

Recently, his wife missed her son and went to that county. She has not returned yet.

So he was the only one living in the yamen.

Recently, many maids and servants have left, making the inner courtyard even more deserted.

Fortunately, after the New Year, this early spring has swept away all the loneliness.

Pei Jingling returned to the room and was about to turn off the lights and rest.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" Pei Jingling frowned.

It was already getting late. At this time, unless there was something important, no one would knock on the door.

Just as he was thinking this, Pei Jingling heard sounds outside.

The voice was very soft, but it was filled with heat, which made people feel slightly sultry.

"Master Pei, I am Su Su."

"Susu?"

Pei Jingling was stunned for a moment, then remembered who it was.

During the day, the master said that the new maid was called Su Su.

Since he came back late, Pei Jingling didn't care about this.

Now hearing this, he asked: "What's the matter?"

"Sir, you came back late. Taking a foot soak before going to bed will be good for your sleep." Outside the door, Su Su whispered in a very gentle tone.

Soak your feet?

Pei Jingling used to have this habit, but then he became busier and busier, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Originally, he didn't plan to soak his feet.

But now listening to this voice, Pei Jingling suddenly thought that it didn't matter if he just took a dip.

Besides, let's see if this new maid meets the conditions for being a yamen maid, as the master said.

"Come in." Pei Jingling opened the door.

The moment the door opened, he was still slightly stunned.

Outside the door, Susu was wearing maid's clothes.

Although the dress is ordinary, it is difficult to conceal the elegant atmosphere.

Pei Jingling couldn't help but think of what the master said not long ago.

The master said that Su Su was originally a young lady, but she fell into this situation because of an accident that caused her family to fall into ruin.

"My lord, my lord?" Su Su reminded him softly, holding the basin in his hand.

From the outside, she doesn't seem to have any ability in the industry.

But she knew that her ability had been covered up by her master's deployment of troops. As long as she didn't have to come out, she could hide it.

Only then did Pei Jingling react and let Su Su in.

Su Su was very unfamiliar and put the water basin on the ground.

But he didn't go out.

Pei Jingling frowned and said, "Go out. After I finish washing, you can take it away."

He usually does things like foot washing by himself.

But Su Su shook her head: "I'll help you wash it."

Pei Jingling's frown deepened.

Before he could speak, Susu spoke next.

"Now, I have been homeless for a long time. I finally found a place that can take me in. I want to do better." Su Su lowered her head, looking like she was about to cry.

When Pei Jingling heard this, he sighed: "That doesn't have to be like this."

He knew that for a person like this, being able to work in a government office, even as a maid, would be stable enough, so he was naturally afraid of losing it.

"Sir, please let me do my part." Su Su whispered.

Pei Jingling originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Su Su's stubborn look and Su Su's elegant appearance, he suddenly agreed.

"That's okay, it's just a foot wash. After letting her feel at ease, she can work more steadily."

With this idea in mind, Pei Jingling took his seat.

Susu squatted in front of Pei Jingling and began to take off Pei Jingling's shoes and socks.

From Pei Jingling's point of view, especially from such a condescending position, looking at Susu with her head down and busy, for some reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

Soon, his feet entered the hot water. Pei Jingling felt comfortable all over and could not help but squint his eyes.

Soaking feet was the most distracting time. At this time, Pei Jingling completely relaxed and felt a little sleepy.

In this environment, Pei Jingling became more and more relaxed.

But at this moment, Pei Jingling suddenly felt a different kind of comfort.

He opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the scene in front of him.

In his sight, his belt was loosened, and Susu was...

Not a foot bath?

Why is this still there?

Pei Jingling stood up instantly: "What are you doing!"

As he stood up, he brought Susu down.

Su Su fell to the ground, showing a look of pain: "When I was washing your feet just now, I saw how majestic you were, so..."

Pei Jingling said angrily: "Do you know what you are doing is..."

Before she finished her sentence, Su Su suddenly stood up, then came to Pei Jingling and stretched out her hand towards Pei Jingling.

Pei Jingling was hugged by Su Su.

On Su Su's right hand, a transparent talisman flashed, emitting light.

This is one of the abilities of the Qi Refiner, which can control people's minds.

Of course, it cannot be controlled in an instant, but is subtle.

After all, Pei Jingling is a real psychic, so he can't be too superficial, otherwise he will be discovered.

At this moment, Su Su used her appearance to gradually exert influence on Pei Jingling while washing her feet.

They have tried this method many times and succeeded.

Especially when the other party is preconceived, it is easiest for the other party to relax their vigilance.

Pei Jingling felt the warmth in his arms and was stunned.

Has he ever seen such a scene before?

As a scholar, he has the unique rigidity of a scholar, so at certain times, he is extremely rigid.

This scene now was beyond his imagination.

Moreover, this strange feeling made him hesitate.

"Just once, just once."

Su Su whispered: "In this way, Su Su can stay in the Yamen with peace of mind and feel more at ease."

Pei Jingling understood.

He believed that Susu used this method because she was worried about being unstable in the yamen.

On Su Su's right hand, the light of the talisman flashed slightly.

Under the influence of the light, Pei Jingling's consciousness suddenly flickered.

An idea suddenly occurred to him.

"I am helping her. If she does this, she can stay in the inner court with peace of mind and manage the affairs of the inner court better."

Immediately after Pei Jingling came up with this idea, he unexpectedly said something unexpectedly.

"It won't happen again."

Susu nodded and squatted down.

Pei Jingling lowered his head and looked at the head below. For some reason, the strange feeling became more and more frequent.

Tonight was a sleepless night for Pei Jingling.

——

Zhou An naturally didn't know what happened to Pei Jingling.

He is now peacefully working on his proficiency.

The matter is under control. Although there is a possibility of alerting the enemy, it has no impact on Zhou An.

He just needs to wait for his proficiency to reach full level and upgrade Bagua Arithmetic to level seven.

At this time, it was already very late, and Zhou An was still burning the midnight oil to fight in the town.

As for those families who were controlled by the Zhengui Si, they were still lucky. Because they were controlled early, they were not drained of all their energy and blood essence.

Of course, these families are already traitors, and the fate that awaits them will not be very good.

During this period, He Sheng came twice and reported the specific situation to Zhou An.

Zhou An asked them to continue moving and ignore the rest.

After everything was arranged, Zhou An stayed here, focusing on his proficiency.

Golden gossip emerged in mid-air.

Zhou An has been using Bagua arithmetic to calculate himself, which is equivalent to plucking his own wool.

Unfortunately, even after using level 6 Bagua arithmetic, Zhou An still couldn't find the slightest clue.

He himself is a fog and cannot see through it at all.

Of course, this also has advantages. The advantage is that it can be used as a permanent experience package. At least the Bagua arithmetic skill does not need to be worried.

Next to him, Black Jade stared at Zhou An's golden gossip and sat in a chair in a daze.

This is not a familiar environment, but she has become much better behaved, and is not as naughty as before.

Zhou An was busy doing Bagua arithmetic while looking at the honest black jade.

Suddenly, he had an idea and stopped doing Bagua arithmetic.

Black Jade was still looking at Zhou An's golden gossip. After seeing Zhou An stop, he gave Zhou An a strange look, not knowing what Zhou An meant.

Zhou An waved to Black Jade.

Black Jade immediately ran over, not even asking for a chair, but put her head in front of Zhou An and begged to touch him.

Zhou An also touched it casually and asked, "What are the eight unique skills you know now?"

As far as he knew, Black Jade knew five and eight unique skills, but he had to ask himself which ones they were.

After so many promotions, Black Jade has already become much smarter, but it's only when he is around Zhou An that he seems stupid.

Now that he heard Zhou An say this, Heiyu clapped his fingers and said stupidly.

"Extreme casting, heavenly arithmetic, silk weaving, breaking demon poison, spiritual magic."

As Black Jade finished speaking, she scratched her head, then slapped her head onto Zhou An's arm.

"It's so brain-burning, my brain is broken."

The corners of Zhou An's mouth twitched slightly.

I ask you to do the math and you just say something mind-numbing. Isn’t this nonsense?

This guy is getting angry again.

However, this kind of skininess was not serious, so Zhou An did not blame him.

He pressed Black Jade's head, broke Black Jade apart, and said, "If there is another eight unique skills, can you learn it immediately?"

This is what Zhou An thinks. He knows that Black Jade is fierce.

Not to mention anything else, the eight unique skills can be integrated without any side effects. In this regard, it is even more powerful than the original eight unique skills founder.

Zhou An has a good plan.

Since black jade is similar to cultivation, why not just raise black jade and develop all eight special skills.

At that time, you will have an extremely powerful helper.

Think about the founders of the Eight Special Skills in the past, who fought against the three gates alone. They were very talented people.

If Black Jade can do this, if nothing else, he will definitely be very stable.

Of course, the premise is to see if Black Jade can learn it.

Black Jade tilted his head and said: "Yes!"

Zhou An said in surprise: "So sure?"

Black Jade pointed to his head: "Most of the time, I am smarter than anyone else."

Zhou An: "..."

Well, Black Jade, this guy, used his words flexibly again.

Zhou An touched his chin.

Since Black Jade says it can be done, then this idea can be done.

This time, he wanted to get the platoon commander and hand it over to Black Jade.

Thinking of this, Zhou An continued to think about Bagua arithmetic.

Speedrun!

Must speedrun!

When he's done counting, he just goes over with the sword, sweeps away all the enemies, and then gets the troops to dispatch the generals!

With motivation, Zhou Angan became more energetic.

——

Time passes gradually.

In the blink of an eye, many days have passed.

After so many days, everything is business as usual.

Zhou An's move was indeed a warning.

These guys actually disappeared.

Of course, to Zhou An, this situation doesn't matter.

He just needs to control the situation and wait for the seventh level of Bagua Arithmetic.

But for Zhensi, he has a different idea.

In the Zhengui Division, Zong Shanyin sighed and looked at He Sheng next to him, feeling a little worried.

"Master He, Master Zhou did not make a very good move."

Only at such times would he dare to beep quietly.

There is no other meaning, just emotion.

Whatever arrangements the leader has, that is all the leader's business, and they feel a little powerless.

He Sheng was also a little emotional: "The adults are very decisive in their behavior, but sometimes, it is normal to make some bad decisions. After all, no one is perfect."

In fact, the current Suppressors are not the only ones who have this idea.

Many people think so too.

the reason is simple.

Originally, according to their method, it was probably served in one pot.

But now, because of an order from Zhou An, it has reached another ending.

To alert the snake.

This is a taboo for suppressing spies.

In Zhenguisi, everyone is trying to achieve the ultimate goal, but Zhou An's actions made it impossible to achieve this goal.

Everyone is a little bit complaining.

That is to say, Zhou An's strength still has his own style. At the beginning, he gained a wave of goodwill. Otherwise, there would definitely be complaints at this moment.

The members of Zhenguisi also know it very well.

No one is perfect, and sometimes making the wrong move is actually normal.

"After all, Mr. Zhou was originally the top leader of the Craftsman Supervisor, so it is normal for him to handle things improperly in Zhensi."

He Sheng thought for a moment and said, "As long as you experience it a few more times, Mr. Zhou should be able to become proficient."

Zong Shanyin nodded: "Indeed, we Master Zhou must be strong and decisive, and we must take our time."

Although the conversation between the two people said it was normal, there was still a hint of depression in their words.

I can't help but feel depressed, because this matter is indeed an inadvertent mistake.

When the two of them were chatting privately, they were even thinking that if they hadn't alerted the snake, they might have gotten a lot of clues by now.

But reality is reality, and Zhou An's decision really made the follow-up impossible.

Just when the two of them had their own ideas.

Suddenly, everyone present, including Zhenshi Si, heard a voice.

The sound came from the room where Zhou An was.

Everyone is a master, and Zhou An spoke loudly, so naturally he could hear it clearly.

"It's done! I'm done! Hahaha!"
