Chapter 2 Exchange
It has been several months since I last saw Zhu Wusi.

A lot of things happened in the past few months. The Princess Lixiu incident ended; Cheng Shifei was deceived into being indestructible and left in anger; Duan Tianya also married Liu Sheng Piaoxu, and Cheng Shifei became a prince consort.

Wang Ming did not participate in these things and stayed away from them as they were unprofitable and dangerous.

In the past few months, he only went out once, and took advantage of the chaos in the gambling house to exchange a fake mermaid pearl for the real one.

Then he continued to study his original body's martial arts at home.

Among them, Wan Sanqian and Zhu Wusi had looked for him several times, but Wang Ming turned them down with excuses and asked him to go find someone. But Wang Ming was not the real Zhang Jinjiu, so there was nothing he could do.

But Wang Ming discovered that he could not understand the martial arts secrets of his original body. The characters in this world were different from modern characters. He had no idea what meridians and acupoints were, and he didn't know how to circulate qi and dantian.

He could roughly recognize the words in the secret book by guessing, but he couldn't understand their meaning when he put them together. It was a secret book written in classical Chinese, and Wang Ming felt like an illiterate on the spot.

Wang Ming had no choice but to put down his martial arts and try to learn the writing of this era.

I wanted to find a private tutor to teach me ancient Chinese literature, but I stopped just as I was about to take action.

This is definitely an idiotic operation. Zhang Jinjiu, the world's number one detective, suddenly became illiterate?

What do you think Zhu Wusi would think if he knew this?
So I could only give up this idea for now and wait until Zhu Wusi died.

I think it’s better to get martial arts secrets and accumulate more of them.

After the plot is over, it will not be easy to find the martial arts secrets.

···········
"Come out!"

"The No. 1 secret agent in the imperial court is indeed powerful. He can hear my movements from such a distance." Wang Ming appeared behind Gui Hai Yidao with a wine jug in his hand.

Wang Ming calculated the time and waited for Gui Hai Yidao at Shuiyue Temple.

"Zhang Jinjiu, you came to see me. Did you find any results on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Before that, Gui Hai Yi Dao asked him to investigate the cause of death of his father, Gui Hai Bai Lian.

"no!"

Wang Ming answered in a still drunken tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ming felt the air become colder.

"But I accidentally found out where your father's martial arts skills are, Xiong Ba Tian Xia."

"Where is it?" Gui Hai Yidao was obviously a little excited.

Wang Ming did not reply, but found a place to sit down and started drinking.

After a moment of silence...

"I can ask Shen Hou to give you the wine you want." Gui Hai Yidao understood that he wanted a reward.

"No need to bother, I don't want any wine"

"Then what do you want? As long as I can do it, I can get it for you." Gui Hai Yidao was a little anxious at this time.

"Sword Manual, I want to copy one too."

At this time, Wang Ming no longer pretended to be drunk and looked directly into Gui Hai Yidao's eyes.

"no problem"

Gui Hai Yi Dao is a good man who has been brainwashed by Zhu Wu Shi. Under normal circumstances, he would not kill people easily.

Hai Yidao still needs him for something.

A quarter of an hour later, the two met again in the bamboo forest not far from Shuiyue Temple.

"I've looked for these clothes hundreds of times, but I can't find them." Gui Hai Yidao brought the things his father left behind.

Wang Ming stood up, picked up his clothes, and threw them directly into the fire he had built in advance.

"What are you doing!" Gui Hai Yidao got angry when he saw Wang Ming destroying the clothes.

"Look!" Wang Ming didn't care about Gui Hai Yidao's anger.

The clothes on the fire really showed up and dominated the world.

"Hahahaha... I found it, I will definitely take revenge" Gui Hai Yidao picked up the sword manual on the fire.

Wang Ming looked coldly at Gui Hai Yidao who was yelling, without any intention of disturbing Gui Hai Yidao who was in an emotional state at the moment.

Copy the knife!
Wait until he calms down before asking him to copy the sword manual! If he doesn't know how to behave at this time, Wang Ming is afraid of being chopped to death.

Half an hour later,
After Yidao calmed down, he read the sword manual several times before copying it for Wang Ming.

After copying the sword manual, Wang Ming left Shuiyue Temple.

Wang Ming did not waste this period of time. He did not dare to ask a private school teacher to teach him to read, but he still thought of a way to learn to read.

That is to buy a novel or storybook and read it once by yourself, guessing the meaning and remembering the words you don’t know.

Then find a poor scholar and read the story to him according to the storybook.

If you don't know how to read, ask a private school teacher to teach you. Zhu Wusi knows that it's not normal without thinking. Being lazy and asking a poor scholar to read a story book is just like listening to a storyteller in a tavern. He doesn't care at all.

Through the recitation of a poor scholar, Wang Ming basically understood the ancient characters.

On the way back from Shuiyue Temple, he memorized the sword manual and then burned it on the spot.

I don’t know if this is a hidden benefit of time travel, but my memory has obviously improved. Although it’s not to the point of photographic memory, I can memorize the sword manual so that it won’t be confused.

. . . . . . . . .

Ever since Wang Ming got "Heroes Dominate the World" last time, he has been feeling uncomfortable at home.

The knife skills are useless!
Wang Ming has no interest in practicing crazy martial arts.

There are many good martial arts in this world, but the martial arts that can be exchanged for the information you know are all in the hands of the four great spies or Zhu Wusi.

Thinking of Zhu Wusi, Wang Ming fell into deep thought for a long time.

"Keeping up these rubbish skills is not good for my future plans!"

Finally decided to take a gamble.

After a while of hurried journey, Wang Ming arrived at Hulong Villa.

"Zhang Jinjiu, what are you doing here?" Zhu Wusi, who was standing alone in the hall, asked
"The Divine Marquis asked me to look up the news about Tianxiang Doukou, and I've already found some clues."

"Where?" Zhu Wusi's face suddenly changed and he asked excitedly.

Wang Ming was still pretending to drink, ignoring Zhu Wusi's questions, thinking in his heart: "You don't give me any benefits, but you want to get it for free!"

At this time, Zhu Wusi had not yet eliminated Cao Zhengchun, so he would not change his face so easily.

There was a strange atmosphere in the air.

After a while,
Zhu Wusi reacted and realized that Wang Ming was asking for benefits.

How could a person like him not understand Wang Ming's meaning?
It was just that I was too excited just now and ignored it for a moment.

"Haha! Don't worry, Zhang Jinjiu. As long as the news is true, I will give you all the bottles of wine from the world's number one wine god."

Zhu ignored Dafang's promise, as wine had no value to him.

"No! I don't want wine. Recently I feel that my martial arts skills are low, so I want to exchange it for Shen Hou's "The Great Shift of the Universe"." Wang Ming slowly stated his request.

After hearing this, Zhu Wushi's ecstatic expression suddenly disappeared, and his eyes suddenly looked at Wang Ming sharply.

Wang Ming felt a little uneasy when he saw this look.

Zhu Wusi didn't say anything. He turned and walked to his throne, took out a book from underneath, and used his internal energy to control the secret book, slowly floating it towards Wang Ming.

Wang Ming didn't even check it and just put it in his arms.

"The secret book is given to you, just tell me, Zhang Jin!" Zhu Wusi was a little impatient.

"Cao Zhengchun has one in his hand. The truth of the news can be verified by the Marquis. I am doing my best to investigate the rest."

"Okay, the First Detective is really amazing. We have found the remaining one. You can negotiate any reward you want."

Then Zhu Wusi lowered his head and wrote something. Wang Ming knew that he was saying goodbye and left quickly.

On the way back, Wang Ming's back was soaked. Before this, Wang Ming was actually very afraid that Zhu Wusi would not play according to the rules and would catch him and interrogate him severely.

Wang Ming actually wanted the "Energy Absorbing Technique", but he didn't dare to raise this condition, for fear of being ripped off by Zhu Wusi, and he was also afraid that he would be given a fake one.

He rushed back to his residence and read the secret book carefully, but still couldn't understand it.

You can’t understand classical Chinese books just by knowing the characters.

Especially the martial arts secrets, you have to memorize them first.

Wang Ming said anxiously, "I hope Zhu Wusi won't be so stingy as to send someone to kill me!"

The gains from this trip were quite significant, and Wang Ming wanted to continue practicing after he had mastered the basic knowledge.

Wang Ming said helplessly again: "Unfortunately, time waits for no one. I don't have time to study and develop silently. The information and intelligence I have are meaningless after a certain period of time. If I miss the plot node, it will be completely wishful thinking to get these secrets."

I thought that at this time, Cao Zhengchun should invite Zhu Wusi to the Tianxiang Doukou Banquet, and Zhu Wusi also went to verify the authenticity of the news.

Wang Ming's guess was correct. Zhu Wusi had already obtained the Tianxiang Cardamom and rescued Su Xin.

Originally, Zhu Wusi had the intention of killing Wang Ming.

But then Cao Zhengchun's invitation and his sweetheart Su Xin's awakening, these things happened one after another and he didn't have time to give the order.

Finally, looking at Su Xin, thinking of the third Tianxiang Cardamom, he suppressed his killing intent.
　An ordinary person with no power or influence and no martial arts skills would be a fool if he didn’t follow the plot.

　　This is his only advantage. Just give it up and wait for death.

　　Please collect and recommend.
