127　　I've only been practicing for one afternoon and I've already got the hang of it.

　　I don't know if it was due to the Yangchun Technique, or if I got emotionally involved when practicing shooting. When you have feelings, things tend to develop very quickly.

　　Chen Jie saw that it was already late. At this time, a guard from the Peng Mansion came and brought a meal and said, "Fifth Master, the hall master told you that you have practiced well today. Too much is as bad as too little. After dinner, go back and settle your family. There is no rush to practice martial arts."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Thank you, brother. I'm hungry. By the way, where is my adoptive father?"

　　"Oh, the master has finished his meal and is going to listen to some music. Today the Southern Opera Troupe is performing at the Chunfeng Opera House."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie nodded, thinking that these big masters in the city really knew how to enjoy themselves. In their daily lives, besides fighting and killing, they also listened to music and opera.

　　This life is also leisurely, but this leisure does not belong to me for the time being.

　　Chen Jie ate the food brought by the guards. The food at Peng's mansion was very good, with plenty of white flour buns and braised pork.

　　Chen Jie was hungry after practicing shooting for an entire afternoon.

　　He began to eat with big mouthfuls. After he was full, Chen Jie took a spear and said to the guard, "I'll take this spear. I'll tell my foster father when he comes back."

　　The guard said, "Okay, Master Wu, please do as you please."

　　When Chen Jie arrived outside, he saw Feng Xuan coming in. Seeing Chen Jie leaving with a spear, he smiled and asked, "The spear technique chosen by Jiu Si, is it the Dong family spear?"

　　Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Thirteen shots to break the catastrophe."

　　Feng Xuan paused when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Good, this is a good shooting skill."

　　"Are you going home? Si Xi is waiting for you at the door."

　　Chen Jie asked: "Brother, what are you doing?"

　　Feng Xuan said, "Oh, it's nothing. My men had a conflict with the Cao Gang and three of them died. I'll report to my adoptive father."

　　Chen Jie said: "It seems that my foster father went to watch an opera."

　　Feng Xuan said: "I know that Master Peng will go to Chunfeng Theater and Miss Huadie's theater to show his support."

　　After saying this, Feng Xuan still walked inside. Chen Jie knew that he went in even though he knew Peng Shizhong was not there, which obviously meant that there were some rules that Chen Jie was not aware of.

　　Since I just arrived, I can't ask too many questions.

　　After figuring all this out, Chen Jie went out and just happened to see Si Xi, whose carriage was still waiting.

　　"Fifth Master."

　　Si Xi shouted, and Chen Jie went over, put the spear on the shaft of the cart, and got on.

　　He discovered a problem with using the gun. This long gun was inconvenient to carry, which was indeed a problem.

　　Chen Jie thought of a way, which was to customize a good spear, the kind that could be disassembled and installed, for example, made into three sections, and then each section was fixed with threads. When fighting, take it out and twist it up, and it would be a two-meter-long spear.

　　When not in use, they can be removed and become just three short sticks of about 70 cm in length.

　　Even in close combat or street fighting, when a long gun is not useful, it can be used as a pistol.

　　Chen Jiegou thought, however, this kind of spear needs to be forged by a good blacksmith, and it also requires good materials.

　　In addition, according to this process, especially the threaded structure, it is estimated that a lot of work will be wasted and the cost will definitely be high.

　　I have less than fifty taels of silver in my pocket now, which seems like a lot, but in fact, in the county town, it may cost several taels of silver to watch a play. It is not enough to spend.

　　At this moment Chen Jie couldn't help but miss Xiantao Town. There, with the fifty taels, he could eat and drink as much as he wanted and it wouldn't last him a whole year.

　　And here, it doesn't take long.

　　This county has too much prosperity, but also too many dark transactions.

　　For example, the black market!

　　The black market is a shady place, so transactions here only start after dark.

　　This is in an ordinary teahouse in Mianshui County, with a few drinkers sitting there, drinking tea.

　　At this time, a middle-aged man wearing coarse linen clothes and deliberately sticking on a big beard came to the shopkeeper's counter.

　　"Boss, your tea tastes too light and not tasty."

　　At this time, the owner of the tea shop immediately smiled and said, "Sir, we are a small business. Ten cents for a cup of tea. What kind of tea do you want?"

　　"Boss, I have some good tea leaves here. Can I borrow your stove?"

　　"Can I borrow the stove? I need some good tea leaves."

　　After hearing this, the man took out a package, opened it, and inside was a stack of banknotes.

　　Seeing the banknote, the shopkeeper smiled happily and said, "Zhu Zi, please ask this gentleman to make some tea in the backyard."

　　After hearing this, a waiter came over and said with a smile, "Sir, please come in."

　　The middle-aged man took the package and went straight into the backyard.

　　When we arrived at the backyard, we saw a door panel lifted up by the pillar, revealing a tunnel inside.

　　After going down the tunnel, I saw that it was brightly lit inside.

　　Zhuzi said, "Sir, please come in, someone will receive you."

　　After saying that, he closed the bed and went out to greet customers like a normal waiter.

　　The middle-aged man took the package and went down the passage. When he reached the door, he saw a man sitting with a long knife in his arms. The man had a bamboo hat covering his face, as if he was sleeping.

　　Looking past the middle-aged man, I could hear voices talking inside.

　　"Buy or sell!"

　　At this time, the man sitting there asked, and the middle-aged man immediately said, "Buy, I want to find a roster."

　　"Oh, Room A-1!"

　　After hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded immediately and went in. He saw a very long passage with torches and oil lamps stuck in it.

　　It looks like there must be a vent here.

　　Room No. 1, Type A, is the easiest to find; it is the first room.

　　Entering the house, there was only a skinny old man inside. The old man was puffing on his pipe. He looked up at the middle-aged man and said, "First time here?"

　　The middle-aged man said, "Yeah."

　　"Don't be nervous. Although this place is called the black market, we never rob other blacks. Since you've come to me, you must be going to kill someone, right?"

　　"Who are you going to kill?"

　　The old man was smoking a pipe and blowing a smoke ring.

　　After hearing this, the middle-aged man said, "Fishing Gang, Chen Jiusi!"

　　The old man, upon hearing this, tapped his pipe and said, "Killing people from the fishing gang, well, it's not cheap."

　　"Money is not a problem, I just want him to die!"

　　The man said anxiously, and the old man heard it and asked, "Do you have a grudge?"

　　"Well, he killed my master, I want to avenge him!"

　　After hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "You are still a loyal servant. Tell me about this Chen Jiusi in detail. Don't hide anything. Once our people find that the information you provided is inconsistent, they can interrupt the operation at any time. In addition, the deposit will not be refunded."

　　The middle-aged man said, "Well, I know the rules."

　　moment.

　　The old man smoked a pipe, frowned and said, "Peng Shizhong's adopted son, this is not easy to deal with."

　　"Please think of a solution. Money is not a problem."

　　The old man smoked his pipe and said, "Well, if the money is enough, it's not impossible to do it. Fortunately, Chen Jiusi is only at the Flesh Training Realm. If it was higher, no one would be willing to take the order. After all, a Dark Force master doesn't want to get into trouble."

　　"But for those in the Flesh Training Stage, you can look for those who have just broken through the Dark Energy and need money, or those who have reached the peak of Flesh Training and are half a step into the Dark Energy. Ask them. For the sake of money, they are still willing to take a risk."

　　"In this case, three thousand taels, no bargaining."

　　The old man said, and after hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned and said, "Three thousand taels, I only have two thousand taels."

　　"I'm sorry, please go ahead!"

　　The old man is going to fire people!

　　"Wait, are you saying that as long as we have three thousand taels of silver, we can definitely kill Chen Jiusi, even if he is Peng Shizhong's adopted son!"

　　The middle-aged man asked with a red face.

　　"Well, if the money is in place, it can be done."

　　"Okay, help me find someone first, I'll go back and raise money now!"

　　The middle-aged man turned and left. When he left the teahouse, the moon shone on him. He looked up at the sky and murmured:

　　"Master, I will definitely avenge you. Chen Jiusi must die!"

Chapter 111: Muscle-relaxing Pill, Improves the Willow Muscle Realm

　　Baihu Hall is located at the intersection of Yongchang Street and Heping Street. Chen Jie wants to return to the residence arranged for him by Peng Shizhong.

　　You have to cross Heping Street and half of the big vegetable market.

　　Heping Street is Zheng Chuan's place, and all the people there are big businessmen.

　　Most of them are silk shops and silver shops. The architecture here is also very exquisite, and many of them are two-story buildings.

　　It is very quiet here during the day, but at night, it becomes quite lively.

　　Chen Jie looked out of the car window and saw a building with bright lights, as if there was a constant stream of people coming and going during the day.

　　Next to this store are silver shops, high-end silk shops, or antique shops. When other shops are closed, their lights are still on.

　　In this dark night, it is like a firefly, luring people around.

　　Chen Jie asked: "Si Xi, where is this?"

　　After hearing this, Si Xi immediately said, "Oh, this is the Second Master's Chuanhebao Bureau."

　　"casino?"
