Bao Zigang and Jiang Dali accepted the order and picked a dozen people each. They brought Lin Changqing, Little Tiger, and Little Green into the forest and chased after the young bandit leader who had just escaped.

Cheng Lihu had slashed the bay horse’s leg. In order to escape, the young bandit leader, who was as strong as Cheng Lihu, had already used his trump card to save his life. Soon, he would fall into a weak state.

With their lineup, it would not be a problem for them to chase after them. There were traces of horse blood along the way. Little Tiger did not need to lead the way to track them.

The bay horse was indeed a good horse. Despite being injured and constantly losing blood, it still ran very fast. Lin Changqing and the others chased for more than twenty minutes before discovering the bay horse on the ground.

The young bandit leader had already disappeared.

Lin Changqing looked at the bay horse and saw that it was foaming at the mouth and panting heavily. It was about to die.

“Stop looking at the horse! A good horse is a good horse, but it can’t be saved after this. I want Little Tiger to look for him. Where is he hiding?” Bao Zigang said to Lin Changqing.

Lin Changqing asked Little Tiger to find someone. He was a little tempted by this bay horse. As long as he captured it successfully, he should be able to save its life. However, there were too many people around and with his status, he could not protect such a horse at all. He could only give up and watch this good horse die.

“Woof woof!” Little Tiger searched around and found his target. He rushed into the depths of the forest.

Everyone abandoned the bay horse that was waiting for death, left the mark of the Knife Gang, and followed Little Tiger into the depths of the forest. After chasing for another ten minutes, they finally caught up with the young bandit leader who could no longer run.

“So you have two good dogs!” The young bandit leader had already thrown away his long saber and only kept a short self-defense knife. He leaned against a big tree and looked at Little Tiger and Little Green who were chasing after him. “Let me go! This silver is all yours.”

The young bandit leader took out a cloth bag and opened it. Inside was a large stack of banknotes. Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw the banknotes, but they did not dare to act rashly. They had to be alive to spend the money.

“Let’s test it out.” Bao Zigang said to the tall and thin man beside him.

The tall and thin man took out a strange short knife and threw it at the young bandit leader like a throwing knife. With a bang, the short knife sank deep into the tree trunk.

The young bandit leader dodged the flying dagger attack in a very sorry state. A few more people took out the same flying daggers and threw them at the young bandit leader. Bao Zigang and Jiang Dali held their knives and were ready to attack at any time.

Little Green, who was beside Lin Changqing, quietly took a few steps forward.

When the young bandit leader struggled to block a few flying daggers with his self-defense dagger, the tall [Wolfhound] Little Green suddenly used [Charge] and instantly appeared beside the young bandit leader at an extremely fast speed, biting his hand that was holding the dagger.

Crack!

“Ah!”

Plop!

Little Green’s bite force was very terrifying. The arm it bit broke with a sound. It swung it again forcefully and threw the young bandit leader who was in pain to the ground. Another close-range lunge and bite. This time, it bit the head and neck.

Crack!

With another sound, the young bandit leader’s head and neck were bitten off and he stopped resisting.

Bao Zigang, Jiang Dali, and the others came back to their senses. When they saw this scene, they were all very shocked. They didn’t expect Little Green to suddenly attack and easily kill the horse bandit leader who could injure Cheng Lihu.

“The wolfhound is really hiding its strength. This speed, this strength! If it really wants to attack me, it can do it in one move.”

Jiang Dali was ashamed of his inferiority to Little Green.

“Changqing! Good job!” Bao Zigang couldn’t help but give Lin Changqing a thumbs up.

The other elites of the White Tiger Hall had a whole new level of respect for Lin Changqing. The way everyone looked at Lin Changqing became much closer.

Originally, everyone thought that Lin Changqing got in with the hallist’s connections and was only good at tracking. The people who followed him didn’t see Lin Changqing’s performance on the battlefield.

But now, Lin Changqing could control the wolfhound, and the wolfhound had displayed powerful combat strength, so everyone acknowledged Lin Changqing from the bottom of their hearts.

Little Green seemed to be a little excited. It bit the young bandit leader and shook him a few more times. After confirming that the enemy in its mouth had no signs of life, it slowly let go. It sniffed around the corpse again and scratched around with its claws before closing its mouth and happily returning to Lin Changqing’s side.

During this period, no one went over.

“Have you found him?” At this moment, Cheng Lihu’s voice came from behind. He had caught up with a group of people.

“Hallist, we’ve found him. He’s been bitten to death by the wolfhound!” Bao Zigang went up to Cheng Lihu.

When Cheng Lihu saw the scene and confirmed that the young bandit leader was dead, he laughed loudly and said, “Not bad! It’s indeed not in vain raising a dog for so many years! Changqing, your talent is amazing! Work hard in the future! For this mission, I’ll give you the first credit!”

Lin Changqing was also quite happy and said, “This is all thanks to Hallist’s careful nurturing.”

“Let’s go! Bring him up. Don’t leave anything behind. We’ll send him to the government.” Cheng Lihu waved his hand and returned with the people and the spoils of war.

Lin Changqing vaguely sensed that this Knife Gang seemed to have an extraordinary relationship with the government.

—————–

Due to Lin Changqing’s special status, he hadn’t officially joined the White Tiger Hall yet. He didn’t need to participate in the subsequent matters. He was one step ahead of Cheng Lihu. He followed the party that returned to the city and returned to his temporary residence in White Tiger Hall.

On the way back, Lin Changqing relaxed and enjoyed the natural scenery of this world.

Lin Changqing was still under the supervision of the White Tiger Hall and could not move around casually. If he wanted to return to his courtyard in the slums, he had to wait for Cheng Lihu to clear his identity as a suspect of the murder of Leader Lu.

“Little Green, what did you secretly bring back? Let me see!”

Lin Changqing had long known that Little Green had secretly taken something from the young bandit leader. He had kept his mouth shut along the way.

Little Green’s intelligence was very high. The thing it secretly brought back must have a certain value. Lin Changqing only asked Little Green to hand it over when he returned to his courtyard and there was no one else around.

Little Green wagged its tail proudly and opened its mouth, revealing something black.

Lin Changqing took something from Little Green’s mouth and went to wash it. He realized that it was a scroll wrapped in black oil paper. He tore open the oil paper and took a look. Inside was a scroll made of an unknown material.

He unfolded the scroll. There were bold words and exquisite patterns on the scroll. It was actually a martial arts cultivation technique.

The words [Cangwu Saber Technique] should be the name of this cultivation technique. Lin Changqing felt that this saber technique was similar to the Knife Gang’s Heaven Gate Saber Technique.

Lin Changqing now knew that whether it was the Heaven Gate or the Cangwu, they were only the source of the cultivation technique. It could be the name of a sect or a place. The quality of the cultivation technique could not be seen from the name.

Many cultivation techniques in this world liked to be named like this.
