CHAPTER 249: CHAPTER 244: MODIFYING GUN LAW

The doctor was right, this wound will heal soon.

Back at the county government, Fu Tinghan applied the medicine himself, then looked at the box on the table, "Can you find a spear to test it out?"

He said, "I want to see your usage habits and where you exert force."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at his hand.

Fu Tinghan looked exasperated, "It’s nothing, go quickly!"

Zhao Hanzhang, hesitating, laughed awkwardly, then turned and ran to get a spear.

Zhao Hanzhang learned spear fighting from Zhao Ju and later battled some squad leaders in the army, picking up some different techniques.

Perhaps it’s inherited knowledge engraved in her soul, or the original body’s talent, but her ability to learn martial arts is especially strong.

She learned a set of spear techniques in less than ten days, then began to familiarize and refine them, making them more suitable for herself.

Zhao Hanzhang is currently learning saber techniques. She sparred with Zhao Ju and found that besides the spear, a cavalry saber is also very handy on horseback.

The cavalry saber is slightly longer than a sword, heavier, and more conducive to chopping, but similarly, requires more strength.

Zhao Hanzhang doesn’t have enough strength yet, so she’s just learning it and doesn’t plan to use the cavalry saber immediately.

If she fights on horseback, she still prefers the long spear.

Zhao Hanzhang took a spear, shook it in the courtyard to start, but Fu Tinghan called out, "Wait a moment."

Zhao Hanzhang stopped, Fu Tinghan came over with a ruler, "Do you feel this spear is just right, or is it too long, or too short?"

After thinking, Zhao Hanzhang said, "I feel it’s a bit short; I can use a longer spear."

Fu Tinghan nodded, measured her height, then measured the spear length, and let her start.

The spear and lance are somewhat different, the spear shaft is flexible, and when fast, it can bend and attack. Zhao Ju’s spear technique is broad and open; his martial skills are excellent, and he’s strong, making his spear technique famous for powerful sweeping and thrusting.

Zhao Hanzhang started learning with these moves.

But she soon realized the inadequacy; as for strength, who knows how it will be in the future, for now, she can’t match Zhao Ju.

So she slightly modified the spear techniques according to her situation.

After all, there are elementary spear moves, it depends on how you make moves, how you change moves, and how you connect them.

Using martial arts routines: when you treat yourself as part of the weapon and become one with the spear, you naturally know how to resist, unwind forces, counterattack, and attack...

This requires a lot of sparring, so when idle, Zhao Hanzhang enjoys going to the military camp to spar with Zhao Ju. To accumulate enough sparring experience, she brought all the squad leaders, centurions, and those with good martial skills to practice with her.

Now, there’s probably some progress.

She’s just more thoughtful than Zhao Ju and others, retaining some fragmented knowledge pieces in her mind.

In this world, many things are afraid of being pondered; once pondered, many difficulties get solved.

For example now, Fu Tinghan focused on her spear thrust and quick pull-back, immediately drawing a circle on paper, then sketching a stick figure.

Fu An slowly moved over from behind, leaned forward to see what the gentleman drew on the paper, found it somewhat amazing, as he instantly recognized the wooden stick figure’s posture.

Zhao Hanzhang finished practicing a set of her modified nameless spear technique, wiped the sweat off her forehead, stepped forward, and asked, "How’s that?"

She wanted to ask if she was impressive?

Fu Tinghan held up the paper covered with stick figures and said, "Not bad, I have a general idea of the problems, let’s start from the beginning."

Zhao Hanzhang looked down and found over a dozen stick figures, suddenly stunned, "These moves are..."

"All your incorrect moves."

Zhao Hanzhang gave him an odd look, "You even know spear techniques?"

It didn’t show when sparring and practicing swordplay with her every day; his moves were always somewhat rigid and not nimble.

Fu Tinghan: "...Not being able to play the piano doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it, I don’t know spear techniques, but I can see the directions and forces you exert, such as in this move, your speed in changing illusion to reality is extremely fast..."

Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly asked, this is her most proud move, using this move, she defeated Zhao Ju, "What’s wrong with this move?"

"...There’s nothing wrong with this move," Fu Tinghan glanced at her, "The problem is your retreat move."

"Your retreat force’s focus point is incorrect, so the speed isn’t fast enough, your stance is unstable," he said, "If your opponent reacts even a bit quickly, attacks while injured, you’d surely be hurt too."

Zhao Hanzhang stared at the stick figure he drew.

"So during your retreat, you can try focusing force here and here, retreat quickly, thus switching to your familiar posture, making it easier to make the next move or respond more calmly to the opponent..."

Initially coming for spear shaft making, and ended up as a spear technique modification discussion gathering.

When Chang Ning couldn’t wait any longer in front and couldn’t get Zhao Hanzhang, he finally couldn’t bear it and went personally to the county government backyard.

Acting all sticky and cozy like this, how can a woman achieve something significant if she’s caught up in relationships?

Chang Ning, bursting with anger, arrived at the backyard, seeing Zhao Hanzhang wielding a long spear in the courtyard, her body like a dragon, sharp and unstoppable in moves, even when a spear thrust towards him, he felt scared, but before he could clearly see the thrusting spear, she quickly retreated...

For some reason, he felt the retreat move was a bit sluggish.

Zhao Hanzhang practiced the modified spear technique again, still feeling somewhat unfamiliar, but both her body and mind now have memory, practicing a few more times will make it fluent.

She could also feel that the modified moves were smoother and faster, but her moves isn’t skillful yet, so it’s not apparent, waiting for her to practice expertly...

Zhao Hanzhang put away her spear, feeling slightly breathless from repeated practice. Seeing Chang Ning, she smiled happily and asked, "Why did Chief Clerk Chang come to the backyard? Done with affairs at the front?"

Chang Ning looked expressionless at the nearby government official.

The government official snapped back to reality, immediately stepped forward and said, "Lady, Chief Clerk has something to attend to with you, he’s waiting at the front... oh, waiting here."

Chang Ning, discontented, directly waved his hand, "You head back, you’re out patrolling the streets today."

The government official responded disappointedly.

In the past, street patrol was considered a great assignment, as one could earn some on the side, but now it’s tedious work because Zhao Hanzhang doesn’t allow government officials to accept things from the people, although their treatment in the county government has been increased.

Now street patrol has become a chore, who wants to go out in the cold wind on such a chilly day.

Fu Tinghan handed Zhao Hanzhang a cloth to wipe her sweat, didn’t stay to listen in, directly went to the study with the data recorded just now.
