The Imperial Court's Hound: Upgrading Everything from a Constable

[Low Martial Arts] [Alternate History] [Court Politics] [Scheming] [Chaotic Times] [Yaoguai and Ghosts] [Multiple Heroines]

Everyone says the dynasty is in its final years, with treacherous ministers in power and their hawks and hounds running wild.

Li Xunzhen doesn't see it that way. All he sees is a bunch of diligent workers.

When the grand edifice is about to fall, why not give it a kick if you can't prop it up?

We all practice martial arts, so why do your moves come with special effects?

We all practice swordsmanship, so why can your sword fly on its own?

We all train our bodies. "Invulnerable to blades and spears" is a figure of speech, so why are you literally invulnerable?

We all cultivate internal energy. Having true energy reach the mystic is just something from picture books, so how did you actually pull it off?

Here's another little-known fact: the martial path doesn't have to be lonely. You can gain fame and fortune, too.

What do you mean, robbing someone? I merely suspected he was a wanted criminal. He handed over the money himself.

What do you mean, stealing? I just couldn't bear to kill. Otherwise, I could've taken it after killing him.

What do you mean, holding up a caravan? I saw how hard they worked, but they misunderstood me, so I had no choice but to defend myself.

What do you mean, bandits? Those heroes, heartsick that they had no way to serve their country, gave me an unclaimed mountain.

What do you mean, lecher? The ladies were lonely, so I just wanted to give them a home.

What do you mean, rebellion? Oh, right, this is a rebellion. Excuse me, I'm off to become emperor.
