Mortal counterattack

Zhou Chen had no intention of getting any benefits from saving Xia Rong, but if he didn't mention it, Zhao Kuo would feel very sorry.

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'm a martial artist. I wonder if there are any martial arts skills for me to practice in the county government?"

"There are quite a few martial arts skills, but these are the things of the empire. The empire has regulations that can only be practiced by people who belong to the empire. You are not from the yamen, and even Master Xia has no power to give them to you at will."

Zhou Chen just said it casually, and he had no intention of joining the county government, "If this is the case, then forget it."

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "I will discuss this matter with Mr. Xia."

"Didn't you say you have to be from the Yamen? Why do you want Mr. Xia to turn a blind eye?"

"To tell you the truth, it's not impossible for outsiders to learn the martial arts in the yamen."

Hearing this, Zhou Chen was overjoyed, "Looks like there's something going on." Zhou Chen was worried that he didn't have any martial arts skills to improve his strength.

"I don't know what to do"?

"I can apply for you to have a vacant position in the Yamen. You don't have to do anything or stay in the Yamen. You don't have to be bound by Yamen rules in anything you do."

The reason why he didn't want to join the yamen was that he was afraid of too many restrictions. If he couldn't accept it, since it was just a false position, it didn't matter to him.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Zhao."

Seeing that Xia Rong had nothing to do, Zhou Chen and Zhao Kuo couldn't stay here anymore. Leng Yiyao was left to take care of Xia Rong, and they left the room.

"By the way, have any babies been stolen in the city these days while I'm away?"

"This is strange to say. Since you ambush them last time, Ba Dao Martial Arts Hall has been quiet for a few days. There has been no theft of babies in the past few days."

"What about those people I captured last time?"

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "Don't mention it. They were poisoned to death for no apparent reason the day after you left. Now that there is no evidence of their death, there is nothing we can do with Ba Dao Martial Arts Hall."

Now the clues to this matter have been broken again, but Zhou Chen doesn't care, this is not something he should worry about.

Then Zhou Chen asked, "Brother Zhao, I wonder where I can cast soft armor in Tsinghua County?"

"Why do you ask this? Although civilians can forge weapons, armor has always been controlled by the empire. If civilians forge it, they will be beheaded."

Zhou Chen told Zhao Kuo his thoughts and showed Zhao Kuo the jade lin snake scales he had collected. Zhao Kuo said, "It is actually simple to cast soft armor. Although it is controlled by the empire, as long as you are willing to spend the time Silver can still legally own armor."

"The Wang family in the city has the right to cast armor, but they have to report it to the government. They cannot cast it for outsiders. If you want to cast soft armor, I can help you."

If most people get these scales, they basically sell them, and the price is not low. Looking at the scales in the bag, Zhao Kuo said, "These scales should be able to make three pairs of soft armor."

"Just get one according to Yi Yao's body shape. I don't know if the county government will accept the rest."

"Of course I'll charge this. How about if I pay a thousand taels for building these phosphorus-armored yamen, I won't charge for the cost of building them."

Zhou Chen didn't know the price of the phosphorus armor, but after hearing a thousand taels, he didn't care anymore and agreed immediately.

"I wonder when soft armor will be built"?

"Three days is enough."

Late at night, in the secret room of Ba Dao Martial Arts Hall, a white-haired old man was closing his eyes and concentrating. Next to him was a large bowl filled with bright red blood. As the old man vomited, the bright red blood slowly turned into a burst of blood. The blood mist went toward the old man's nose.

After about ten minutes, the blood in the bowl had evaporated completely. At the same time, the old man's white hair was slowly turning black.

At this moment, the old man opened his eyes suddenly, his hair that had not yet turned black instantly turned black, and the big bowl next to him exploded at this moment.

"Hahaha, I finally did it."

The door to the secret room opened slowly, and Li Ba walked in from the outside, "Father, are you ready?"

This person is Li Long, the former master of the Ba Dao Martial Arts Hall. "Haha, yes, now I have reached the seventh level of bone training. No one in Qinghua County can be my opponent."

If Zhou Chen were here, he would definitely be shocked, because at this time the old man's power has reached 400. Without the blessing of the demon pattern, Zhou Chen's power is only 160, which is more than a little different from the old man.

Three days later in the morning, Xia Rong, who had been unconscious for who knows how many days, finally woke up. Leng Yiyao ran out excitedly and called Zhao Kuo and Zhou Chen. After the two came, especially Zhao Kuo, grabbed Xia Rong's hands. The tears on my hands couldn't help but flow down again.

"Uncle Zhao, why are you crying? What's wrong with me?"

At this time, Xia Rong was still very weak and spoke weakly, "It's okay, everything is over. You have a good rest and I will come see you later." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes as she spoke.

Leng Yiyao worked hard for several days but didn't get a good rest. When she saw that he was fine, she went back to the room to rest.

It wasn't until night that Leng Yiyao woke up rubbing her eyes. When she woke up, she saw Zhou Chen staring at her. Leng Yiyao asked curiously, "Brother Chen, why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhou Chen took out a piece of soft armor from behind and handed it to Leng Yiyao, "Try it on and see if it fits."

"Ah, what is this? It's so ugly piece by piece." Although he said it was ugly, he still put it on obediently.

This soft armor is just right for his body size, "Yiyao, don't wear this soft armor except when taking a bath."

Then Zhou Chen explained the reason to Leng Yiyao. When Zhao Kuo gave this soft armor to Zhou Chen, he said that this armor cannot be broken by a ninth-grade warrior, and even an eighth-grade warrior must use all his strength to break it.

If Xia Rong had this armor, she would not have ended up like this. The two stayed in the county government for a few more days. During this period, there was no baby theft in the city. It seemed that the six people Zhou Chen arrested last time were the culprits. Qinghua County fell into peace again.

Xia Rong also took medicine for several days in a row. Although she has not recovered all her injuries, she is basically fine. The first thing she did after getting out of bed was to come and thank Zhou Chen, because if it weren't for Zhou Chen, his nickname might not be saved one night.

That day, Zhou Chen sat on a recliner and watched Xia Rong and Leng Yiyao practice. Yes, it was Xia Rong. After a few days of getting along, and with Leng Yiyao's care for him before, Xia Rong now treats Leng Yiyao as her own sister.

The two have been practicing swords together these days, which also makes Zhou Chen free. Zhou Chen is sitting on a recliner and thinking about when to go back. Now that the clues of the baby theft case have been cut off, it is not a good thing for him to stay in the county government all the time.

The night before he made up his mind to say goodbye to Zhao Kuo, the baby theft case happened again. Needless to say, it must have been done by Ba Dao Martial Arts School.

So Zhou Chen and Zhao Kuo teamed up to lurk in Ba Dao Martial Arts School again. After the treatment of Hua Shenyi, Zhao Kuo has also recovered.

Late at night, Zhou Chen and Zhao Kuo sat on a roof and looked at Ba Dao Martial Arts School below. The weather was bad tonight, and there was heavy snow in the air.

This government office is just not efficient in doing things. They know who did it, but they just can't catch him because they have no evidence. Zhou Chen thought that why not sneak into Badao Martial Arts School and kill Li Ba while Zhao Kuo isn't paying attention, so that he won't be unable to return home.
