I practiced with a cheat

Buwusi.

This is the agency of the Fucheng Yamen that is responsible for all affairs of the Fucheng Martial Arts School. It has a general director, two auxiliary officers, and a number of servants.

The opening and closing of martial arts gyms, applications for various support policies, exchange activities between martial arts gyms, and even various matters required by sects to select disciples at the martial arts gym, etc. are all handled here.

In this era when martial arts are prosperous and martial arts schools are everywhere, the power and interests of the Buwu Division are not insignificant. Both the chief commander and the auxiliary officials can be said to be local celebrities and highly respected. At the same time, they also have a very close relationship with the major martial arts schools. .

The current General Secretary of Buwu in Huangtong Mansion is named Tian Chong. He was once an apprentice at the Tongchang Martial Arts School. He reached the ninth level in his twenties and later left the Martial Arts School to work in the Buwu Department.

After more than twenty years of hard work and Huang Jingfu's secret support, he has established a firm foothold here. As the leader of the Buwu Division, he has great power.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that he alone can make the decision on support applications for martial arts schools and young martial artists is already a huge benefit.

Of course, there are too many people watching the results of this support application, and sometimes the palace master Wu Zongshan will ask about related matters. Even if Tian Chong is alone in Buwu Division, he cannot act too randomly.

At this time, Buwusi's inner hall.

Tian Chong was drinking tea leisurely. This was a habit he and Huang Jingfu had developed together. They often drank tea together on weekdays.

An auxiliary officer next to him looked embarrassed. Looking at the materials that had just been judged on the table, the auxiliary officer gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and said: "Director-General, it's not appropriate to fight back like this. "

The other auxiliary officer was dozing off, but he immediately lost sleep after hearing these words. He opened his eyes, glanced at the colleague opposite him, and said: "Feng He, are you questioning the decision of the General Secretary? "

"Ren Guang! You, please don't slander anyone!" Feng He suddenly blushed when he heard this and said, "I just think that Zhou Heng is indeed a genius, and it is rumored that he is valued by the Lord of the Palace."

"You still said that you didn't question the decision of the General Secretary?" Ren Guang sneered: "The duty of our auxiliary officers is to assist the General Secretary, not to question randomly!"

"Okay." Tian Chong put down the tea bowl, threw aside the information about Zhou Heng and Longxing Martial Arts on the table, and said with a smile: "You two should not always be so vindictive.

"There is a reason why I suppressed the application for support from Zhou Heng and Longxing Martial Arts School this week. Zhou Heng took medicine to break through to the ninth level. In the next Changxing Sect selection, he will compete with Kong Chengshun.

"Kong Chengshun is a true successor of the Changxing sect. He is at the eighth level of martial arts and ranks ninety-nine on the list. He is one of the strongest members of the younger generation. If Zhou Heng competes with him, even if it is just a test, the chance of winning is almost non-existent.

“If our Buwu Division gives out the support policy in advance, and the warriors we focus on to support lose in full view of the public, we will inevitably be criticized.

"If he really wins by chance, wouldn't it be more appropriate and safer for us to pass on this support policy in the name of a reward?"

"This..." Feng He was confused. This explanation seemed to make sense, but he always felt that something was not right.

"What is this? Mr. General Secretary has made it so clear." Ren Guang sneered: "You still don't understand?"

"But the master of the palace..." Feng He was still a little worried.

"Did I not make it clear enough just now?" Tian Chong glanced at Feng He and said calmly: "It is natural to suppress this application now. There is no problem. Even if the master of the palace comes, he can't say anything. "

"My subordinates understand." Feng He could only nod his head and said, "The Chief Secretary is wise."

"As long as you understand." Tian Chong smiled and said, "Actually, if Zhou Heng can really win the competition, it is not impossible to increase the support standard to another level for him."

Unfortunately, there is absolutely no way he can win.

…

On the way back to Longxing Martial Arts School from Buwusi.

Lin Cang and Lei Xiu traveled far to a secluded and uninhabited place.

"Master, what's going on? How could it be rejected?" Lin Cang finally couldn't help asking, his face full of confusion and unable to understand this situation.

"It's Huang Jingfu who's doing this!" Lei Xiuyuan said with a gloomy face, "Tian Chong used to be from Tongchang Martial Arts School and has a good relationship with Huang Jingfu. He is helping Tongchang and Changsheng suppress Zhou Heng."

"Why is he crazy? Isn't he afraid of the Lord's intervention?" Lin Cang asked in confusion: "And what good does this do to him?"

"The reason given by Tian Chong is very legitimate and cannot be argued with." Lei Xiuyuan shook his head and said solemnly: "Not to mention that the Palace Master may not pay attention to this matter. Even if the Palace Master really asks, he can't find it. Something went wrong.

"As for the benefits, it's nothing more than money. The support he gave Zhou Heng and Long Xing would naturally be given elsewhere.

"When Zhou Heng loses, he can naturally give this support to the people and martial arts schools who have obtained the quota of outer disciples of Changxing Sect, Tongchang or Changsheng.

"When the time comes, the Changxing Sect will also receive support funds. Will Tian Chong's benefits be deprived of him?"

"The dignified General Secretary of Buwu actually wants to conspire with the martial arts gym to embezzle support funds??" Lin Cang was stunned and said with some disbelief: "How dare he? Where does he have such courage? He is not afraid of being attacked by the palace master. Sir, take care of it?"

"Tian Chong, this person is very good at maneuvering and clinging to people." Lei Xiuyuan sighed and said, "I heard before that his daughter was hooked up with a collateral son of the Pei family in the county.

"You know, the chief military commander of the prefectural city is directly appointed by the county city military commander, and the father of the son of the Pei family's collateral branch is the chief military commander of the county city military commander.

"And what kind of status the Pei family has, you should also know, Old Lin. Do you think the Lord of the House really took the risk of offending the Pei family to deal with Tian Chong for Zhou Heng?"

"The Pei family." Lin Cang had to smile bitterly and sighed: "Pingzhou Pei family, one of the twelve great families of Daqi, the Tianren family, the head of the family Pei Hongdao is a fourth-grade peerless master, ranked ninth on the earth list, and served as the governor of Pingzhou County..."

As he spoke, he couldn't continue.

The answer is obvious.

Huangtong Prefecture is a subordinate administrative area of ​​Pingzhou County. It is impossible for the Lord of the House Wu Zongshan to deal with Tian Chong for Zhou Heng, which means the risk of offending a behemoth.

Even if the line that Tian Chong is attached to is only a collateral branch, it is enough to make Wu Zongshan afraid.

"The Pei family is not worth offending. "Lei Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Not to mention that Tian Chong's reason for rejection is hard to justify, even if something goes wrong in the end, the Lord of the Mansion will most likely turn a blind eye.

"Alas, I originally thought that Tian Chong would not be so unscrupulous, and should have done things according to the rules, but I didn't expect that he had become so rampant.

"The teacher Tao Feng of Changsheng Martial Arts School that we met earlier was probably here to laugh at us... Alas, it's just a pity for Zhou Heng. A genius like him can't get the support he deserves. What a pity, what a pity. ”

"Is there no way?" Lin Cang didn't want Zhou Heng to suffer such grievances.

"There's no way." Lei Xiuyuan seemed to be deflated all of a sudden, as if he had aged a dozen years, and shook his head and said, "Maybe this is fate. We have finally produced a genius in Longxing, but we have to face such difficulties. ”

"As long as Zhou Heng can win the test competition, everything will be solved. "Lin Cang was a little unconvinced, and said, "I'll go back now and make him practice the Benxiao Luoxia Sword to perfection! ”

…

At dusk.

Zhou Heng finished a day of practice and went home to lie directly on the bed.

His back and waist ached, and his wrists were numb.

He did not stop all day, and kept practicing the Benxiao Luoxia Sword.

Lin Cang was like taking medicine, and kept supervising him in the independent practice room, asking him not to stop for a moment.

If it were not for the fact that the Quanzhen internal energy method could be operated automatically all the time and could quickly recover from fatigue, he would have been exhausted after this day.

Of course, this is also a great gain.

[Eighth Grade] Dugu Nine Swords: Sword Breaking Style: Advanced (2658/3000)

[Eighth Grade] Benxiao Luoxia Sword: Advanced (152/3000)

Only one day had passed, and he had upgraded the proficiency of Benxiao Luoxia Sword from intermediate to advanced, and his sword-breaking style was one step closer to mastery!

After lying down for a while, Zhou Heng got up from the bed, intending to bathe and burn incense, and opened the two silver lucky bags and one copper lucky bag he had obtained before.

Lucky bags are something that cannot give birth to new lucky bags.

It was still nice to open them.

However, as soon as he got out of bed, he heard the sound of knocking tiles on the roof.

Then, a clear and pleasant female voice came.

"Brother Zhou, I'm here to listen to your story."

It was Pei Luoling.
