save the bachelors

Chapter 4315 4317 [The Great Hidden in the City]

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling then found an abandoned house in the city to stay in and practiced martial arts until night.

During this period, Xiang Nan also helped Xu Ziling transfer a lot of internal energy, which made him show signs of gradually breaking through the third level of "The Art of Immortality" and entering the fourth level.

When the "Eternal Life Secret" is practiced to the fourth level, the twelve main meridians can be opened up, allowing the internal force to flow more smoothly and circulate over and over again, and the strength will increase accordingly.

If you go one step further, when you reach the fifth level, you can open up the eight extraordinary meridians. When you reach the sixth level, you can open up the Ren and Du meridians and break through the threshold of life and death. At that time, you can really be among the top masters.

Xiang Nan had the advantage in this regard, as he had already opened up his Ren and Du meridians, so his "Eternal Life Secret" had been practiced to a very high level.

Just to appease Xu Ziling, he chose to hide and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.

"It's almost time, let's go." At the first watch, Xiang Nan said to Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling nodded, and set off for the Duke's Mansion with Xiang Nan.

With their current skills, it would not be difficult for them to enter the Duke's Mansion.

For them, the ten-foot-high wall of the Duke's Mansion was just a matter of jumping off.

After entering the Duke's Mansion, the two first captured the servants, "Where do Miss Li Si and Miss Song live? Tell us the truth, or we will kill you!"

"Our young lady is not in the Duke's Mansion. She went to Yangzhou and hasn't come back yet." The servant was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly replied, "Who is the young lady of the Song family?"

"Are you sure? Your young lady is really not here?" Xu Ziling was stunned and asked quickly, "Young lady of the Song family, that is, the eldest lady of the Song family, Song Yuzhi, she is not here either?"

"Our young lady is definitely not here, and neither is Miss Song." The servant waved his hand and said, "Our second young master is fighting outside, and our fourth young lady should be helping. As for Miss Song, I really don't know where she is."

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling looked at each other, then let him go and left the Duke's Mansion.

"Master Zhong, it turns out that Miss Li and Miss Song are not here. What should we do then?" Xu Ziling looked at Xiang Nan and said.

"Don't worry, we won't die without them." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Before, we lived to the age of eighteen. Now that we have unique skills, are we still afraid of not being able to survive?

So, we will go to the treasury of Hengtai Bank and steal some money. Since he won't give it to us, we will go and get it ourselves. After we get the money, we will find a place to stay and practice martial arts.

When we have mastered the magic skills, we can go anywhere in the world. It won't be us who surrender to others, but others who will recruit us. Who will dare to give us a hard time and who will dare to refuse our debts? "

"That makes sense." Xu Ziling nodded.

……

The two then came to Hengtai Money House and secretly sneaked into the money house.

Although there were guards in the money house, their strength was far inferior to that of Xiang Nan and the other two, so the two of them entered the money house without any effort.

Then, by catching the man's tongue, he easily found out where the treasury was.

When the two men arrived at the treasury, they saw that it was built with huge stones, and the door was made of cast iron. There was a huge copper lock hanging on the door, weighing hundreds of pounds, and the lock rod alone was as thick as an arm.

Such a large number of copper locks cannot be broken by pure external force. Even with a saw, it will take half a day.

There are so many guards in the bank. If you smash it hard or cut it with a saw, it will definitely attract the guards and you will definitely not be able to escape.

From this we can see that the treasury of Hengtai Money House is truly impregnable and impeccable.

But he happened to meet Xiang Nan.

With a wave of his hand, the copper lock immediately turned into a flying bird.

Xu Ziling was immediately delighted, and immediately pushed open the door of the treasury. He saw that the door must be a thousand pounds heavy, and it was estimated that even with explosives, it might not be able to be blown open.

When they entered the treasury, they saw rows of shelves filled with gold and silver ingots, and copper coins were piled up like small mountains.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen so much money." Xu Ziling couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.

"Then why don't you go roll in the pile of copper coins? Don't worry, I will pretend I didn't see anything." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Don't give me that. I'm not that useless." Xu Ziling waved his hand and said, "Come on, hurry up and take as much as you can."

"Well, be careful, don't touch the mechanism." Xiang Nan reminded, and then worked with Xu Ziling to put the gold and silver ingots on the shelf into sacks.

The box was so full that it was hard to put more stuff in, so the two of them left contentedly. When they left, Xiang Nan thoughtfully turned the bird back into a lock.

In this case, let the Chai family figure out how the warehouse was stolen.

……

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling each carried a sack of gold and silver and left Hengtai Money House, avoiding the night patrol soldiers all the way.

The sack was not put down until he returned to the abandoned house.

Then they counted carefully under the light and found that this time they carried out a total of 300 gold ingots and 100 silver ingots.

Each gold and silver ingot was fifty taels, which meant fifteen thousand taels of gold and five thousand taels of silver. According to the exchange rate of six to one for the price of gold at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they barely made back their money this time.

"That's pretty good, it can be considered revenge." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Xu Ziling also nodded. With so much money, they were considered rich.

"How do we spend this money?" he asked Xiang Nandao.

"As the saying goes, small seclusion is in the wild, great seclusion is in the city." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "We can rent a house in Taiyuan City and practice martial arts diligently every day. After a while, when our martial arts skills are perfected, we will be able to return to the martial arts world and naturally be successful in everything we do.

I think that Kankan and Ren Shaoming probably wouldn't believe that we, with our unique skills, would be willing to be ordinary citizens, right?"

"That makes sense." Xu Ziling nodded.

Anyone who has mastered a skill will want to show off.

Just like Taoist Master Shilong, after he mastered the "Secret of Immortality", he immediately turned against Fu Jun'er and went on a killing spree in the martial arts world, causing everyone in the martial arts world to know that he had obtained the magical power of "Secret of Immortality", which brought him disaster.

So Xiang Nan was right. The more they mastered their skills, the less they should show off. Instead, they should try to keep a low profile.

In this way, they will naturally not attract attention, and they can practice with peace of mind until the day when their magical powers are perfected.

……

The next day, Xiang Nan rented a small courtyard in Taiyuan City and lived in it with Xu Ziling.

The courtyard is well laid out, with three northern rooms and two side rooms forming a small courtyard. Pomegranates and grapes are planted in the courtyard. It is the end of summer now, and the pomegranates and grapes are ripe, with abundant fruits, which looks particularly festive.

After moving in, Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling began to practice martial arts at home.

As for the three meals a day, they were all delivered by the restaurants on the street. You had to deposit a few taels of silver first, and the bill would be settled at the end of the month. Once you were familiar with the business, you could also put it on account and settle the bill every quarter, half a year, or even a year.

This was a very common phenomenon in ancient times.
