Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 126 Hostage
"Let the lady go!"

The surrounding guards shouted in surprise.

Shang Xinyan rushed towards Jiangnan quickly, and stopped even faster.

Because, before she swung her two sabers to Jiangnan's approach, the long sword in Jiangnan's hand had already reached her slender neck.

Shang Xinyan's dual knives froze in the air, not daring to move.

The martial arts of the young lady of Merchant Fort is just like the beginning of the sea.In the eyes of these guards or ordinary Jianghu people, it may already be very high.

Here in Jiangnan, it's not enough to see at all.

"Girl, look, it's not good to fight and kill."

Jiang Nan smiled slightly, and unexpectedly withdrew the long sword on Shang Xinyan's neck.

"who are you?"

Shang Xinyan retreated a few steps, retreated into the protective circle of the guards, and asked through gritted teeth.

"Passers-by."

"I'm asking about your identity."

"Girl, it's not a blind date, so there's no need to ask so clearly, right?"

"you……"

Shang Xinyan almost gritted her silver teeth.

The black veil of the cloak covered her face, and her expression could not be seen, but the waves on her chest exposed her heart at this moment.

"So, what I'm looking for is on your body." Shang Xinyan said firmly.

"What?" Jiang Nan asked in surprise.

He didn't want to take such a big blame for no reason.

Obviously, he just didn't want to be searched and expose the huge amount of money on his body.

"Don't pretend to be stupid!" Shang Xinyan yelled coldly: "That thing is of great importance, and it involves forces unimaginable to ordinary people. I advise you, hand it over quickly, so as not to lose your life."

Jiang Nan looked confused: "So, girl, you have to tell me first, what exactly is it?"

"Huh?" Shang Xinyan was obviously taken aback.

Looking at Jiangnan's posture, it seems that it really doesn't look like an act.

This made Shang Xinyan feel hesitant in her heart.

"Please wait a moment. If I really made a mistake, I will apologize to you later."

As Shang Xinyan said, her eyes moved to the remaining five Jianghu people.

"Everyone, there are only a few of you left now. Please give me Merchant Fort a face and cooperate."

"I know that you are all heroes who have traveled the rivers and lakes. This kind of inspection is a bit difficult for others."

"However, that thing is indeed very important to my Merchant Fort. This move is really a last resort."

"I promise here that the rest of you, as long as you pass the inspection and prove your innocence, my merchant castle is willing to give 50 taels of silver to each of you."

Shang Xinyan turned her head and ordered to one of her subordinates: "Bring the money!"

The subordinate immediately opened the package, revealing the glistening silver inside.

Heroes of the rivers and lakes sound majestic and generous, and they always say "boil a pot of good wine and cut two catties of beef", they seem to be very lavish.

In fact, that is only a minority.

Most people in the Jianghu, if they do not do some shady business against their conscience, they will not be as beautiful as others imagined.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the last meal is not the next meal.

Let me ask, if you don't do serious work and don't do crooked ways, where does the money come from?

Fortunately for the disciples of the sect, there is a monthly salary from the sect.

Small sects and ordinary casual cultivators can only find ways to make a living by themselves.

Why do heroes of the rivers and lakes like to rob the rich and help the poor so much?It's not that during this operation, part of the oil and water can be intercepted for daily use.

Just like in Jiangnan's previous life, those in power liked to engage in new projects and big projects.

The landscape trees on the street should be replaced every three to two years, and the sidewalks on the roadside should be dug every two to three years.

It is obvious that the government is gritting its teeth and spending, and the local finances are getting poorer and poorer.

But in fact, it made some people richer and richer.

Back and forth, it's all oil and water.

50 taels of silver is just a small amount of money for Jiangnan, who was born in the three major families in Nanshan City.For these ordinary Jianghu warriors, it is definitely a windfall.

and so.

When the white money appeared in front of his eyes, the five people in the rivers and lakes who had been on the sidelines and refused to be searched, immediately rushed to the tent at the same time.

Ha ha.

What warrior dignity.

In front of money ability, it's not worth mentioning at all!
Jiang Nan felt emotional in his heart and burst out laughing.

but.

soon.

Jiang Nan couldn't laugh.

Because the five people in the rivers and lakes all passed the inspection, took the money from the other end of the tent, and strode away.

In the encirclement, the only "suspect" left is Jiangnan.

Since everyone else is fine, doesn't that mean...

"Girl, is the person who gave you the news reliable?"

Facing the gaze of nearly a hundred pairs of eyes, Jiang Nan said awkwardly: "Look, everyone has been checked..."

"Isn't there still you?"

Shang Xinyan sneered.

The more I confirmed my previous guess, the thing must be in the hands of this hidden swordsman.

Shang Xinyan subconsciously laid her swords across her chest, concentrating on her guard.

Although this cloth masked man has amazing swordsmanship, he is not afraid of nearly a hundred warriors on his side.

Don't look at these warriors, most of them are not even rank nine warriors.

However, with the help of horsepower, a collective charge is launched, and the combat power that explodes is such that even masters of the air sea dare not directly attack them.

Seeing that the opponent is not cooperating, he will act immediately.

Jiang Nan frowned slightly.

Shrugging his shoulders, he said helplessly, "Girl, there are no outsiders now, so you can tell me, what are you looking for?"

"I just came from Jiannan Road yesterday, and this is the first time I've even heard of the name Merchant Fort, so how can I take your things?" Jiang Nan explained honestly.

Who knows.

Shang Xinyan's eyes lit up when she heard the words:
"It's really you!"

Jiangnan: "..."

"Hand over the gourd mechanism lock on your body." Shang Xinyan took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

"Ok?"

Jiang Nan was taken aback when he heard the words.

It turned out to be a gourd lock?

What these people are looking for is actually themselves!
Jiang Nan's first thought was that something must have happened to the beggar.

The only one who knew that the gourd mechanism was locked on him was the chivalrous beggar.

Moreover, only the chivalrous beggar knows his whereabouts and can judge his approximate itinerary so accurately.

just.

What Jiang Nan couldn't understand was that with the character of a chivalrous beggar, even if he fell into the enemy's hands, it shouldn't be possible to betray him.

In particular, the contents of this gourd, according to what the beggar said, are related to hundreds of thousands of disciples of the beggar gang, and the beggar regards his own life more than his own life.

However, at this time, Jiang Nan couldn't afford to think too much.

Because Shang Xinyan had already said coldly: "Did you take out the things yourself, or..."

With a wave of Shang Xinyan's arm, nearly a hundred of his subordinates all approached.

Tensions.

"It seems that the lesson just now is not enough."

Jiang Nan sighed.

There is no sword.

The iron cloth shirt of the perfect level was launched brazenly, like a monster, directly squeezed into the crowd holding weapons, and rushed straight to Shang Xinyan, who was guarded by more than ten men.

The weapons of those subordinates chopped on Jiangnan's body, except for cutting Jiangnan's clothes, they didn't even hurt a single hair.

And the things hit by Jiangnan, whether they were people or weapons, immediately flew upside down.

"boom--"

"Crack-"

"Ch..."

After a burst of noise, the guards standing in front of Shang Xinyan were seriously injured and fell down a lot.

"You are actually a body refiner?"

Shang Xinyan stared in amazement at Jiangnan who was already close at hand, and exclaimed in surprise.

Previously, after seeing Jiangnan's swordsmanship, Shang Xinyan always thought that Jiangnan was a swordsman, but he didn't expect that the other party was so strong physically.

This is definitely a top forging martial artist who has achieved great success or even perfection in body forging kung fu.

Judging by his size, he's not big, is he? !

In a flash of thought, in order to avoid becoming a prisoner of Jiangnan again, Shang Xinyan had no choice but to lower her body and get behind several guards again.

"Send a distress signal!"

While retreating, Shang Xinyan yelled at the knights on the edge of the encirclement.

Stepping into the Sea of ​​Qi Realm at a young age, Shang Xinyan's talent and eyesight are naturally not bad, knowing that this kind of forging warrior who is almost invulnerable to swords and guns is more difficult to deal with than a top swordsman.

A single swordsman's attack is powerful, but his physical body is weak.Falling into a siege, there is no guarantee that you won't be hit by a weapon one or two times and get injured.After a long time, the energy consumption will die.

This kind of body forging martial artist is completely different.

Not only is the defense strong, but it is useless to cut ten knives and eight swords. It also has long endurance. It can fight for a day and a night without sleep, and it is not sure who will die.

A few or dozens of ordinary low-level warriors actually don't make much difference to this kind of body-forging metamorphosis.

Unless, the number of people can reach hundreds or even thousands.

The merchant castle has a population of tens of thousands, and there are only a thousand or so people who can really fight with weapons and obey the orders of the merchants.

Relying on more than a thousand guards, even if he could finally take down the perverted target in front of him, his vitality would definitely be severely damaged.

However, the matter was so important that Shang Xinyan had no choice but to call for reinforcements and do her best.

In Merchant Fort, apart from himself, there are two other sixth-grade Qi Sea masters.

Especially her father, Shang Zhenye, the owner of Shangbaobao, has stepped into the fifth-rank Gangqi not long ago.

Now that things have come to this, Shang Xinyan can only hope that her father can block this perverted master head-on, and then let many subordinates use other methods to slowly consume them.

As a local force, Merchant Fort may not have as many top masters as the martial arts school, but over the years, it has also explored many ways to use ordinary warriors to deal with top masters.

The pervert in front of him, judging from his figure, eyes and voice, doesn't seem to be too old, no matter how strong he is, he must be limited.

Although Shang Xinyan was shocked, she was not afraid.

I feel that the odds are still on my side.

"call out--"

A distress signal was shot high into the sky, leaving a trail of dark yellow smoke that could be seen for tens of miles around.

Shang Xinyan felt a little settled.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation in my ear: "Miss, be careful!"

Waking up with a start, a hot palm was already on his neck.

Unexpectedly, this palm is not as rough as that of ordinary warriors, but smooth and soft.

Just like the nobles whose ten fingers have never touched the spring water.

Shang Xinyan somehow felt that those fingers seemed to be extraordinarily slender.

Heart jumped.

Shang Xinyan spat secretly, raised her head suddenly, and met Shang Jiangnan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Girl, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to come with me."

Jiang Nan glanced at the signal smoke in the air and said helplessly.

"it is good!"

Contrary to the expectations of many subordinates, Shang Xinyan did not threaten the negotiation or delay the time, but directly agreed.

"So, offended."

Jiang Nan flipped his palm, and the hand on Shang Xinyan's neck slipped to his shoulder.Grab Shang Xinyan's shoulder directly, and lift her onto the back of the big maroon horse.

The big horse struggled hard, raised its front hooves, trying to overturn Jiangnan.

Jiang Nan pinched his legs, Da Ma suffered pain, and immediately settled down.

Shang Xinyan was sitting in front of the horse in the arms of Jiangnan Banlou, her heart was pounding with anger and embarrassment.

Seeing many subordinates with weapons in their hands, nervously surrounding the horse, but they are afraid to throw a mouse and dare not make a move.

I had no choice but to say:
"Get out of the way!"

"Yes."

The guards felt relieved and quickly made way for them.

Jiang Nan leaned forward, patted the horse's neck, and the big bay red horse swung its hooves away, leaving a trail of smoke and dust behind.

This horse is worthy of being the mount of the business lady, it is definitely one of the best horses in a thousand miles, carrying two people without any difficulty.In a blink of an eye, he had already run more than ten miles out of the canyon.

"law--"

As soon as Jiangnan pulled the rein, the bay red horse stopped immediately.

"what happened?"

The dizzy Shang Xinyan spoke subconsciously.

Then, it was discovered that Taniguchi was blocking a burly man with a golden silk sword on his shoulder.

Immediately my body froze.

He said tremblingly, "Father, why are you here?"

"Hmph! Why, you don't want me to come?" The burly man snorted coldly.

"Uh... no. I just didn't expect you to come so soon, Dad!" Shang Xinyan hurriedly explained.

Her posture with Jiangnan at this time was indeed somewhat ambiguous, for fear that her father might misunderstand.

The burly man looked slightly relaxed.

Gently took off the golden thread big ring knife on the shoulder, put it on the ground, faced Jiangnan, and said in a deep voice: "The next Shangshang Fort is the owner of Shang Zhenye. Your Excellency can break through nearly a hundred knights, obviously you are also a master. "

"Shang gives you a chance, let go of my daughter, and take ten tricks from me."

"If you can take it, let Your Excellency leave. If you can't take it, hand over what we want."

"how?"

Jiang Nan stared at the gold-threaded big ring knife in the hand of the burly man, and glanced at the dozens of knights flocking far behind him.Nodded: "Okay!"

Let go of Shang Xinyan's arm.

With a leap, he jumped off the horse.

Chad was free, feeling that the body temperature that was close to her had suddenly gone away, Shang Xinyan was slightly startled, and felt a little empty in her heart for no reason.

"Borrow a knife and use it!"

Jiang Nan, who jumped off his horse, suddenly turned around and said to Shang Xinyan who was sitting alone on the big red horse in a daze.

Shang Xinyan subconsciously handed over her two knives.

"Thanks!"

Jiang Nan thanked softly and only took one of them.

"you are welcome……"

Shang Xinyan answered instinctively.

On the opposite side, Shang Zhenye's face darkened suddenly, holding a gold-threaded big ring knife in his hand.

Is this fucking her own daughter?
He even handed a knife to an enemy who wanted to fight with his father...

Seeing the burly man's face, Shang Xinyan on the horse suddenly realized that she had acted inappropriately just now.

Unfortunately, the knife was already in Jiangnan's hands, and it was hard to ask for it back.

It's just that my cheeks are hot and my heart is beating hard.

Fortunately, with a cloak to cover her, she is not afraid of being seen by the two men in front of her.

Shang Xinyan's double knives are a kind of mandarin duck knives. There are two knives in one sheath.

As soon as he got the knife, Jiang Nan regretted it a little.

Originally, seeing that Shang Zhenye was using a sword, Jiangnan was delighted to see Liexin for a while, and wanted to practice the secret sword technique of the Dugu family that he had obtained from Aji.

After borrowing the knife, I realized that this knife is too delicate and more suitable for women to use. It is a little bit reluctant to use it to perform the domineering "Wen Tian Jue".

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is not easy for Jiangnan to change weapons.

Fortunately, Jiangnan has absolute confidence in the secret sword technique of the Dugu family.

Before, when Jiangnan's internal energy cultivation was only restored to the state of Tongmai, he used it to deal with several masters of the Changhe Gang.

At this time, his skill has improved again, even if the power of the saber technique is greatly reduced due to the weapon, it is still much better than before.

"Be careful, I'm going to make a move!"

Shang Zhenye's gold-threaded big-ring saber was thrown across his chest, and he shouted at Jiangnan.
