After putting more than a dozen medicinal herbs into the barrel one by one, Ling Yun took off his clothes and jumped in directly.

First, a warm feeling enveloped Ling Yun, and then Ling Yun felt a large amount of heat pouring into his pores.

The warm feeling disappeared and was replaced by a burst of burning pain. This pain was not only felt on the surface, but also the flesh, flesh and bones of the whole body could feel the burning sensation freshly.

Ling Yun held a stiff black fruit in his mouth. After feeling the pain, he decisively bit the fruit into pieces with his teeth.

A cool breath instantly spread from the mouth, and then the fruit residue was swallowed by Ling Yun.

"Hold it!"

Ling Yun gritted his teeth and began to activate the true energy in his body. With the help of the power of the "Two Heavens of Ice and Fire", he began to attack the second meridian.

…

Three days later, Ling Yun appeared in a small military camp behind the county mansion on time as agreed.

At this time, Ling Yun has changed into a neat martial arts shirt. Although he has not yet reached the age of weakness, martial arts cultivators can comb their hair in advance. This is the martial cultivator's right.

"Huh? Are you a martial artist?"

The relative of the old fox is named Li Xun. He is a hundred-man commander of the city guard. The position of being able to command a hundred people is naturally not a mortal body, but a genuine martial artist who has opened the six meridians.

The old fox did not say that the person was a martial arts cultivator before arranging the appointment. At this time, Li Xun was somewhat surprised when he saw Ling Yun's attire.

"How many pulses did you open? Can anyone give me some advice?"

Li Xun looked at Ling Yun carefully, and finally found that he, a six-meridian martial arts cultivator, could not see through the opponent's aura.

"Reporting to Commander Li, Ling Yun's qualifications are dull and he has only opened two channels at present. There is no one in the village to give advice."

Ling Yun stretched out his hands and clasped his fists, and explained his situation. Li Xun nodded, and his first impression of the young man in front of him was quite good.

"I originally thought you were just better at martial arts. Since you are now a martial artist with two branches, I will temporarily incorporate you into my personal guard. Your qualifications are quite good for your age. If you perform well, you will be in the national government in the second half of the year.

After the assessment, I will recommend you!”

"But before you join the Guards, you still need to complete the task of protecting the city for one month. First, you can experience the hardships of guarding the city, and secondly, when I promote you, you can make everyone familiar with you, which will help convince the public!"

Li Xun had a very clear idea of ​​how to do things. After seeing Ling Yun's agreement, he immediately arranged for his subordinates to apply for Ling Yun's recruitment and issued a waist badge.

"Okay, there will be a changing of the guard in Beicheng tomorrow, you can just go directly!"

After everything was settled, Li Xun left in a hurry. Ling Yun could see that Li Xun's face seemed a little anxious.

After a night of silence, Ling Yun rushed to the North City Gate in the early morning of the next day to change the defense.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Ling Yun's martial arts shirt attracted the attention of the city guards who were changing defenses, and their attitude towards Ling Yun was also too good.

There were only eight people in Ling Yun's team including Ling Yun. Under the arrangement of a small team leader, Ling Yun sat directly in the straw shed built at the city gate without even going up the city wall.

After a brief communication, Ling Yun learned the names of these eight people. The captain's surname was Wang, and Ling Yun called them Team Wang without any pretense.

After Team Wang briefly inquired about Ling Yun's situation, he also understood the above intention. All he had to do was sign in sooner or later if Ling Yun was free.

"Thank you Captain Wang for taking care of me, but I still have to obey my orders impartially. If there is really something trivial, I'll ask Captain Wang to sort it out for me!"

Ling Yun cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and then he and Team Wang sat in the hut and started chatting.

The north city gate is an auxiliary gate. The gate is not big, and there are relatively few pedestrians. There is only a small official road in front of the gate, which connects to a nearby mine.

Therefore, most of the people who come in and out of Beicheng are the people working in the mines, the rulers of the mines, and several major families in the city.

"Team Wang, who are the powerful families in our county?"

When the topic reached this point, Ling Yun asked Captain Wang.

"Except for our county government, most businesses are monopolized by the three major gang families, King Zhao and Li. These three families are equally powerful and are constantly fighting overt and covert affairs."

"Oh? What about besides these three major families?"

Ling Yun didn't hear the name he wanted to inquire about, so he immediately continued to ask.

Below the three major families are the vassal families of these three families. For example, Yanfu, the minions of the Zhao family, and close relatives of the Li family..."

Team Wang obviously knew the forces in the city very well and gave a general overview of the forces in the city.

"I see!"

Ling Yun also asked clearly what he wanted to know about, and sorted out what Captain Wang had said in his mind.

The Yan Mansion that he had offended was a vassal of the Zhao family's powerful gang. The Jinmen Gang, which relied on the Zhao family, was also a powerful force in the county.

Moreover, Ling Yun also found out that there were real martial arts masters in Yan Mansion serving in the Kinmen Gang, and they were highly regarded by the Kinmen Gang.

"Open the city gate quickly!"
Chapter completed!
