It was noon.
The number of people returning to the city grew larger and larger, eventually forming two more caravans, each with more than two hundred members.
"It's like enemy troops are taking refugees with them to attack the city."
Ren Qingshan gradually calmed down and joked with Fang Yanping in a low voice.
"Cough—cough—"
Fang Yanping's cough worsened, his face turned pale, and he occasionally coughed up blood, managing only a faint, pale smile.
"Qingshan, if I die in battle today, you should leave first! Whether you go to the prefectural city or the capital, protect yourself first."
"I have two close friends in my life. One is Gu Qinglin, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice in the capital, who is my mentor. The other is Qin Guanhai, a border general and a commander of a thousand men, who is my sworn brother. If you meet them, just say that you still remember what you saw and heard at Langya Mountain back then—they will naturally know your identity and will take care of you."
He appeared to be giving his last words.
Langya Mountain—what happened—the three of you had a party together?
Ren Qingshan inwardly scoffed, but firmly smiled and said, "Stop talking such discouraging things, you look so defeated! How about you teach me the Fang family's secret internal energy combat technique?"
"good!"
To Ren Qingshan's surprise, Fang Yanping agreed without hesitation.
He is indeed not pedantic; he knows how to be flexible and adaptable.
Fang Yanping spoke in a low, detailed voice.
This set of true qi combat techniques is a finger technique called "Intercepting Pulse Finger".
The aim is to sever the key points of the opponent's energy channels and interrupt their true energy.
The difficulty lies in anticipating the enemy's moves, accurately identifying acupoints, acting decisively, and having extensive knowledge and understanding of the opponent's martial arts style.
There's only one move: the pulse-cutting technique.
Ren Qingshan listened attentively. The most authentic part of the Fang family's battle tactics was the summary of the flow path of true qi and key acupoints, as well as some hidden acupoints that were kept secret.
Learning it is difficult.
However, if you want to use it well, the difficulty increases by almost a hundred.
After walking for several dozen miles, about half an hour, Ren Qingshan had learned it.
On the way forward, I circulated my internal energy and explored more than a dozen hidden acupoints, and indeed found that they all had wonderful uses.
No wonder he studied medicine.
To master this combat tactic, one must have a very subtle understanding of the human body.
However, this tactic is suitable for winning battles when you have plenty of time to observe your opponent, but it is not very useful in losing battles and you will be crushed by stronger opponents.
Ren Qingshan pondered the move repeatedly, and a sudden realization dawned on him: this technique could perhaps be transformed into a hidden weapon technique.
He took out ten arrows, pinched off the arrowheads, and played with them between his fingers, seemingly lost in thought.
Fang Yanping felt a sense of satisfaction and was once again impressed by Ren Qingshan's martial arts comprehension.
This move was originally derived from the technique of concealed weapons.
It only transforms into finger techniques after reaching the True Qi Realm, but it can still be used in conjunction with hidden weapons.
The rapid sound of hooves rang out, as if dozens of horses were moving at the same time, galloping towards them.
When Ren Qingshan saw the leader from afar, he felt goosebumps rise all over his body and a chill run down his spine.
The one who rode in first was none other than Fang Yanping!
Their figures, temperaments, and facial features are extremely similar!
The horses beside them belonged to Yang Yi, Li Xuanqing, and Yi Zhongyan, followed by a group of his men.
"Traitor!"
"How dare you impersonate me and commit all sorts of evil deeds!"
"Fang Yanping" on horseback, looking down at the enemy, immediately let out a tiger's roar, his imposing presence astonishing—he had snatched the vest ahead of time.
-
Fang Yanping was taken aback, speechless, but quickly came to his senses.
"Xuanqing, Brother Yang, Zhongyan, don't be misled by this man!"
He grasped the key point: the support of these three chalcedony stones was the balance that could be turned around!
Fang Yanping on horseback sneered, "Still trying to deny it! I hold the official seal of a county, how could you possibly impersonate me? You scoundrel, you dare to impersonate someone in the countryside, why don't you dare to steal my seal in the city?"
"Qingshan, kill this traitor!"
The other side used the same tactic to try and win over Ren Qingshan.
Li Xuanqing, Yang Yi, and Yi Zhongyan all had extremely serious expressions on their faces as they watched the scene unfold, but did not take any action for the time being.
I don't know if they really can't tell the difference, or if they're just observing, or if they've already defected to the enemy.
Ren Qingshan listened to his words without expression, but in his heart he thought, "Wow, this is amazing! I've never seen anything like it before! It's a secret technique of the martial arts world: disguise!"
Change your bones! Change your voice!
Top-tier evil magic!
"Haha, two county magistrates, which one is real? Which one is fake?"
"Let's ask!"
"Fang Yanping comes from the Fang family in the prefectural city. He possesses a unique family martial art passed down through generations. Why don't you two write it down and show it to everyone?"
Ren Qingshan first distanced himself from the situation, taking a central position as the examiner.
Upon hearing this, the group of equally bewildered constables and onlookers, though not daring to utter a sound, nodded secretly.
This method is correct!
There are techniques of disguise in the martial arts world, but martial arts skills cannot deceive people.
"There's no need to write anything down; I'll tell you myself. My Fang family's unique skill is called the Meridian-Severing Hand, a method used in combat to cut off the flow of the opponent's vital energy."
"Its general principles and essentials are: reverse the pulse and lock the source, separate the meridians and collaterals, quickly cut off the weak and deficient, and conceal the weak and advance the substantial."
The one on horseback spoke first.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yanping's expression changed drastically!
Even Ren Qingshan felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart.
Damn—he's really good at this!
Looking at Fang Yanping with a puzzled expression, Ren Qingshan sighed, "There's probably a traitor in the Fang family."
On second thought, with Fang Yanping's way of becoming an official, not only would his family not be able to make money, but they would also be punished if he caused trouble—there would be considerable internal resistance.
Mr. Fang, we're surrounded by enemies!
"Qingshan, stop being so stubborn. Fine, if you don't want to fight, then just stand by and watch. I won't make things difficult for you."
"Brother Xuanqing, temporarily safeguard the imperial seal for me. Any traitor who dares to impersonate me, I will personally kill him!"
Fang Yanping, on horseback, took out a large seal wrapped in yellow silk from his bosom, handed it to Li Xuanqing, and then jumped off his horse, drawing his sword.
Even the constables present couldn't help but lean slightly towards the latter.
After all, they have the seal!
Moreover, the city's demon-suppressing bureau, the garrison, and Chief Constable Yi all approve of it!
Fang Yanping's face turned ashen.
What Ren Qingshan could think of, he could also think of someone in his family trying to harm him!
A self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips, his fists clenched tightly, and he said calmly, "Qingshan, step aside, this is my battlefield."
The two Fang Yanpings, separated by Ren Qingshan, gazed at each other from afar, their battle about to erupt.
The atmosphere was extremely tense, and everyone was watching intently.
"Actually, I have another way."
"This kind of transformation technique is something that ordinary people definitely don't know. It must be the Divine Dragon Cult. As everyone knows, the Divine Dragon Cult has tattoos below the navel in the dantian."
"How about you two take off your pants and let everyone see?"
Ren Qingshan smiled playfully, his eyes fixed on the fake Fang Yanping.
The atmosphere on the court was already incredibly tense, and upon hearing this, it was as if a balloon had been popped, with some people unable to help but burst out laughing.
The head of a county—taking off his pants in public?
It's amazing that Ren Qingshan could come up with this idea.
But—if that were truly possible, it would be incredibly exciting, County Magistrate! County Magistrate's ass!
