"I knew that Brother Chen was a capable person. He would soar to the sky sooner or later. Isn't this a blessing in disguise?"

"I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so powerful. He is actually a real warrior!"

"Madam Zhou is enjoying a good life now!"

…

The news that Zhou Chen became a warrior and was valued by County Captain Zhang swept through Dahe Village like a hurricane, and countless men, women, young and old were envious and jealous.

the next day.

Many people came to the door.

Especially those who had offended Zhou Chen before, were terrified and sent generous gifts to apologize.

But ordinary villagers are extremely poor and don't have anything good.

Instead, the village chief Qin Jianghe and the village gentry pooled together twenty taels of silver and gave it to him as a token of their appreciation.

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.

He is short of money now.

Moreover, even if he accepted the money, when Qin Jianghe and others asked him to do something in the future, whether he would do it or not would depend on his mood.

He is happy and will help if he can.

He is unhappy, so even if he can help, he can refuse.

The initiative is in his hands.

What's more.

Although twenty taels of silver is not a small amount, it is not much for wealthy people like Qin Jianghe. They are just trying to establish a good relationship.

Zhou Chen is from their village, so at least they have some ties to the family.

If you need help in the future, you will not be unable to find a way. In other words, one more way means one more protection.

Around noon.

Zhou Chen took Qin Hongyu and followed Zhang Long and his party to Qinghe City.

As a county lieutenant, Zhang Long had considerable power in Qinghe City and gave Zhou Chen a house.

Zhou Chen knew that this was the other party's investment, so he accepted it without hesitation.

He had no place to live in Qinghe City and was in urgent need of a house.

Besides, what would Zhang Long think if you didn't accept it? In many cases, accepting gifts is also an important part of improving the relationship between the two.

Zhao Hu, Yang Dagen and Yang Dali, three of Zhang Long's confidants, were a little envious, but knowing Zhou Chen's strength, they could not be jealous.

They have practiced martial arts for many years, but now they are only quasi-martial artists who have developed their qi and blood, and their skin refining has not yet been completed.

Only after completing the skin refining and entering the second stage of body refining can one be considered a true warrior.

Because they are like two different creatures from ordinary people.

There is an insurmountable gap.

The three of them helped Zhou Chen settle down, running around, and it could be considered an investment for his future.

After settling them down, Zhou Chen treated them to a meal to express his gratitude.

night.

Qin Hongyu lay in Zhou Chen's arms, touching his strong muscles, feeling like a dream, and said, "Brother Chen, am I dreaming? Have we really settled down in the city?"

"Of course it's not a dream!"

Zhou Chen kissed Qin Hongyu's smooth forehead. In this era, it was very difficult for ordinary people to settle down in the city.

Moreover, even if they could save enough money to buy a house, how would they make a living in the future? This was also a big problem.

However, these are naturally not a problem for Zhou Chen, a warrior.

Don't mention that he was planning to sell drugs.

Even if he didn't sell medicine, his current status was enough to ensure his food and drink in the city.

"Don't think too much, life will only get better in the future!"

"Yeah, I know Brother Chen is the most capable!"

Qin Hongyu hugged Zhou Chen's neck with a look of happiness and satisfaction and gave him a sweet kiss: "Brother Chen, I love you!"

"Me too!"

“Hmm…”

The night was getting hot.

It was not until the fifth watch that Qin Hongyu fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.

Zhou Chen closed his eyes to rest, but in the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, his soul was learning passionately with Ji Fengxia.

【Romance Points +6】

【Romance Points +9】

【Romance Points +6】

…

When a ray of morning light tore through the dark sky and lit up the earth, Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes and first looked at the points column on his personal panel.

【Fengyue Point: 1350】

"Over 1,300 in two days, an average of about 700 per day!"

Zhou Chen was very satisfied.

Ever since he had Ji Fengxia, his romantic interests became more abundant.

"First, raise your cultivation to the third level of body refining!"

Zhou Chen didn't think much and said directly:

"Yi Archery, add some points!"

Zhou Chen left 320 points to increase the Breath-Containing Technique, and added the rest to Yi's archery.

The information in the realm column changes.

It seemed like Zhou Chen had been training hard for ten years regardless of wind and rain, and finally broke free from the shackles, perfected his flesh training, and advanced to the third level of body training - tendon training.

His muscles trembled and his veins shook like a dragon rising and falling, with powerful force surging in his body.

Now.

Generally, after the flesh training is completed, the strength can exceed 10,000 kilograms.

But Zhou Chen felt that he weighed more than ten thousand pounds, at least about twenty thousand pounds. Now he faced the county lieutenant Zhang Long and crushed him violently.

Zhang Long: “…”

“Hmm!”

Qin Hongyu woke up in shock, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Zhou Chen's terrifying aura, like a giant dragon awakening, really frightened her.

"dust……"

She opened her mouth but said nothing, for fear of disturbing Zhou Chen.

"Breath-Retention Technique, add some points!"

Using the remaining 320 points, Zhou Chen seemed to continue practicing the Breath-Containing Technique for decades, and caught a ray of inspiration and broke through again.

The aura of his breakthrough in cultivation level calmed down again as he practiced the Breath-Containing Technique, without leaking a single bit.

Zhou Chen looked at his personal panel:

【Feng Yue Bao Jian】

[Master: Zhou Chen]

[Kung Fu: Yi Archery]

[Realm: Third level of body refining and tendon refining (163/4000)]

[Magic Power: Lightning Ruyi Hand]

[Spells: Breath-Suppressing Technique Level 7 (0/640), Ghost Control Technique Level 1 (10/1000)]

[Skills: Archery (Superb), Tracking (Great 40/160), Throwing (Great 8/160)...]

[Prescription: Yang Ding Tian]

【Romance Points: 0】

"With my current cultivation and the Breath-Suppressing Technique, even those below the Foundation Establishment Stage cannot see through my cultivation!"

Zhou Chen was very full, looked at Qin Hongyu who looked worried, and said with a smile:

"It's a small breakthrough. You'll get used to it after doing it more often!"

"Congratulations, Brother Chen!"

Although Qin Hongyu didn't know how strong Zhou Chen was, she knew that it was always a good thing and made her happy to know that Zhou Chen was becoming stronger.

But she felt a little unworthy.

Zhou Chen is capable now, so maybe he can be given a concubine in the future to share some of the burden.

"I have to report to the county government today, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. You don't have to wait for me at home!"

Zhou Chen explained everything, then got up and washed with the help of Qin Hongyu.

After breakfast.

Zhou Chen arrived at the county government office, and Zhao Hu was waiting for him at the gate.

"Brother Tiger, thank you for your hard work!"

"No, I just arrived too!"

Zhao Hu led Zhou Chen into the county government office and met the senior officials of the county government.

County magistrate Chen Fan, county lieutenant Zhang Long, county assistant Chen Dao and others were all present.

Zhou Chen greeted everyone one by one and looked at them.

According to his feeling, the county lord was probably a warrior at the fourth or fifth level of body refining. The others, except Zhang Long who was at the third level, were all around the second level.

His strength of the third level of physical cultivation should be second only to that of the county lord.

"As expected, heroes emerge from youth, that's right!"

Chen Fan looked at the imposing and handsome Zhou Chen and nodded in praise.

"Thank you for the praise, County Lord!"

After a simple greeting, Zhou Chen officially joined the Qinghe County Government and received two sets of constable uniforms, a sword and other corresponding items.

"This knife is okay!"

Zhou Chen looked at the knife. Although it was a standard-issue sword, it was much better than the short knife he had snatched from Ermazi before.

Besides, a long sword is obviously more powerful in killing enemies.

If he had paid for such a knife himself, it would have cost at least five taels of silver! He saved money on the knife, but still had to pay for the dinner.

Zhou Chen invited everyone from the county government to Tianxiang Tower for a meal, and Chen Dao and others left after the meal.

But Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Yang Dagen and Yang Dali did not leave.

Zhou Chen invited them to Xueyuefang to wash their feet, no, to listen to music.

"Xiao Chen, today I'm treating you. Congratulations on joining our big family!"

Zhang Long knew that Zhou Chen didn't have much money and had just settled in Qinghe City, so he needed money for everything, so he spoke directly.

As a county lieutenant, although his salary was not very high, he was well-off thanks to the various gifts given to him by his subordinates.

As the saying goes, three years as an honest magistrate earns you 100,000 silver coins.

It's the same everywhere.

"Thank you, Brother Long."

Zhou Chen was not polite and came to Xueyuefang with Zhang Long and his party with a smile.

"Hey, Lord Long is here!"

When the madam Hong saw Zhang Long, she hurried over with a smile on her face.

"Call up all the best girls you have!"

Zhang Long waved his hand and said heroically.
