Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 137

"what?"

The cripple was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Jiangnan to escape his sneak attack.

At the moment, regardless of Jiangnan, he turned around and rushed towards Zhou Xiaomeng who was about to kill the two Qihai sea bandits.

When Zhou Xiaomeng heard the movement behind him, he had no choice but to return his sword to meet the enemy.

"Zheng-"

With just one turn, the long sword in Zhou Xiaomeng's hand was knocked flying by the dark crutches.

Zhou Xiaomeng's expression changed drastically.

The strength of this cripple completely exceeded Zhou Xiaomeng's expectations.

The two air and sea bandits took their lives, and they looked at the cripple with horror.

This cripple, who is usually despised by himself and others, actually hides his secrets, at least he is also a master of the Gang Qi realm.

It is even possible that he is stronger than his boss Zhang Sanshun!
Only then did the two understand that it was no wonder that Zhang Sanshun was very polite to the cripple on weekdays. It turned out that it was not as simple as a relative.

"Little girl, are you a disciple of Huashan Sword Sect?"

The cripple knocked Zhou Xiaomeng's long sword flying with one move, and stopped attacking, but asked while leaning on his cane.

"That's right. Teacher Huashan Elder Ling Ting." Zhou Xiaomeng calmed down, and continued: "Senior has excellent martial arts skills, and must be number one in the Changhe Gang."

"Today Zhang Sanshun snatches the Zhaoye Jade Lion from my Liuyun Escort, and he will definitely offend the Murong family and my Huashan Sword Sect at the same time."

"Senior, please stop the loss in time, let the younger generation take the horse away, and turn the war into jade."

"Hehe. You have such a good idea, girl. If this is the case, won't it be a waste of time for Zhang Xiaozi?" The lame pointed to the corpses of several water bandits on the ground: "Besides, you killed so many people from the Changhe Gang How should I explain it?"

"Uh... They were obviously the ones who robbed our bodyguards first." Zhou Xiaomeng explained aggrievedly, and his voice became more and more emboldened.Then, he gritted his teeth fiercely: "As long as senior promises to return the horse to me, our bodyguard bureau is willing to compensate."

"Oh? How much can I pay?" The cripple narrowed his eyes.

"How much do you want, senior?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked.

"One, two, three...seven, you killed seven people in total, and two were seriously injured." The cripple pointed at the body of the water bandit on the ground with his crutches: "The dead ones cost 1 taels of silver each. The one seriously injured [-]. Well, there is also the broken roof, and the hard work that Zhang Xiaozi paid for going out..."

"Well, for the sake of your master, you Liuyun Escort will give you a total of 20 taels of silver, and let you take this horse away. How about it?" The lame man made some calculations and directly reported the number.

"Why is it that the injured are more expensive than the dead?" Zhou Xiaomeng opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily, "You...you are robbing!"

"Hey, little girl, you can't say that." The cripple laughed.

"It was you who said first that you were willing to compensate."

"This is a deal. Deal, do you understand? If you think the price is high, you can counter the price!"

"Up to 1 taels." Zhou Xiaomeng gritted his teeth and said, "I heard from my father that our Liuyun Escort only has so much cash in cash."

"That's not acceptable." The cripple shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll cut you 1 taels at most, so let's pay 19 taels."

That expression is like a fox.

"It's impossible!" Zhou Xiaomeng shook his head vigorously: "Even if we sell our escort agency, we won't be able to get so much money."

"Then there's nothing I can do." The cripple spread his hands helplessly, and changed his voice: "How about you ask your companion to give me the formula of the medicine powder that he just overthrew these guys, and I can give you a discount of 5 taels. Next, you can inform your father and let him figure out a way."

The cripple pointed to Jiangnan who was still on the roof.

Zhou Xiaomeng was taken aback when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, the lame man fell in love with Jiangnan's prescription.

Subconsciously looked at Jiangnan.

Who knows.

Jiang Nan directly laughed, and unceremoniously shouted at the cripple:

"Haha. Cripple, you want my prescription?"

Everyone present was taken aback.

"What did you call me?" The cripple pointed to his nose in disbelief.

"You're a cripple. Aren't you?" Jiang Nan smiled disdainfully, jumped off the roof lightly, and stood beside Zhou Xiaomeng.

"you wanna die!"

The cripple was trembling all over, and he slammed his dark crutches hard on the ground, and the bluestone floor suddenly burst into all directions like a spider's web.

The broken stone chips bounced off the ground and shot straight to the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiang Nan also stepped on the ground with his right foot, and the stone slab lifted just enough to block the stone chips that came from the lasing.

The cripple's eyes were fixed, and he said coldly: "So you are a master! No wonder you dare to be so presumptuous in front of the old man!"

Jiang Nan ignored it.

Instead, he bent down on his own, picked up Zhou Xiaomeng's long sword that was knocked into the air, handed it to Zhou Xiaomeng, and said lightly, "Little girl, what do you think about negotiating a deal with Cailang?"

Zhou Xiaomeng's pretty face flushed.

I don't know if it's because of the title "little girl" or the latter sentence.

Yes!

He was obviously robbed by these water bandits, but in the end, he ended up paying the water bandits himself? !
Zhou Xiaomeng felt ashamed.

Knowing that he must have seen the strength of the lame man's limping, knowing that he is not an opponent, he subconsciously developed a compromising mentality, and was suppressed by the lame man's aura.

Think about it, with these water bandits' disposition of money-wolves, even if they really took out the money, they might not abide by the agreement and return the Zhaoye Jade Lion to themselves.

Maybe, it will kill people instead!

The reason why the cripple talked nonsense with him and pretended to negotiate a deal with him was just to trick him into raising more money on his own initiative.

This is to slaughter yourself as a pig!

The more he thought about it, the more righteous indignation Zhou Xiaomeng became.

I just wanted to go up and fight the cripple.

However, from the attack just now, Zhou Xiaomeng obviously also understood that the difference in martial arts between the two was too great, and it was useless even if they tried their best.

I couldn't help but put my hope on Jiangnan who showed his expression.

"Boy, who are you? At your age, with this kung fu, you shouldn't be an unknown person, right?" The cripple asked solemnly.

"Why, do you want to date?" Jiang Nan asked disdainfully.

The lame choked.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said solemnly: "Boy, don't be shameless!"

"Do you have any face?" Jiang Nan retorted.

"Good boy! Facing a strong man, being eloquent and taking advantage of words is just asking for death!" the cripple threatened through gritted teeth.

"Really? I don't believe it!" Jiang Nan shook his head solemnly.

"The old man will get your letter!"

The cripple roared angrily, swung his cane and threw it towards Jiangnan.

Jiang Nan had been on guard for a long time, and with a sway of his body, he borrowed a little strength from the wooden pillars beside him, and he had already climbed onto the roof again.

"Cripple, come after me!"

Jiang Nan hooked his fingers and challenged the lame man.

The cripple had inconvenient legs and couldn't jump onto the roof as easily as Jiang Nan did, so he just hit the wall in front of him with a cane.

Most of the house collapsed, and Jiang Nan couldn't stand, so he had to jump off the roof again.

The cripple touched the ground with his cane, and rushed towards the foot of Jiangnan.

However, Jiang Nan didn't fight the cripple head-on, he retreated quickly and climbed onto the roof of another house.

Continue to move his finger at the lame man: "Come on, come on, come on and hit me!"

The cripple burst into anger.

He swung his cane again and threw it at the house at the foot of Jiangnan.

The furious cripple, like a house demolition monster, quickly smashed down four or five houses in the courtyard.

pity!

I didn't even touch a piece of clothes in Jiangnan.

"Boy, what is the skill of hiding on the roof? If you have the skill, come down!"

The cripple shouted angrily at Jiangnan on the roof, panting.

"Cripple, what's your ability to stand on the ground? Come up if you have the ability!"

Jiang Nan smiled back.

"Come down!"

"Come up!"

"you come down!"

"you come up……"

Zhou Xiaomeng and the water bandits who were still alive were dumbfounded at Jiangnan's cheap operation and the crippled look.

Especially Zhou Xiaomeng.

She never imagined that the enemy she thought was invincible would be teased by this little escort!

"Little girl, don't be dumb!"

Jiang Nan stood on the roof, fighting with the cripple, avoiding the flying stones thrown by the cripple with his cane, and yelling at Zhou Xiaomeng.

Only then did Zhou Xiaomeng come to his senses, and he raised his sword and threw himself at the Zhaoyeyu Lion.

Two Qihai bandits stepped forward to stop them, and the three of them fought together again.

"boom--"

The house at the foot of Jiangnan was smashed down again by the lame man.

Jiang Nan didn't stay in the courtyard for too long, and rushed out directly.

The cripple, who had fainted from anger, touched the ground with his cane, and immediately jumped two feet with his strength, and chased after him.

This cripple's martial arts is about to reach the limit of the dragon gate when the gang energy is perfect.

If he fights head-on, Jiangnan at this time is also very sure to kill the opponent.

However, Jiang Nan was pretending to be a Tongmai little bodyguard, and his real internal strength was only a sixth-grade sea of ​​energy.

Killing the cripple head-on would inevitably be difficult to explain to Zhou Xiaomeng and his daughter.

It's just that there is no problem with teasing the lame with lightness.

It's a big deal, it's just a matter of time to expose Qi Hai's internal strength at the right time.

Sea of ​​Qi cultivation base, and a superior lightness kung fu, taking advantage of the weakness of the cripple's inability to move, go around in circles with the cripple, and lure the cripple away, which is not difficult for people to accept.

At that time, even if Jiangnan concealed Qi Hai's cultivation, Zhou Xiaomeng's father and daughter would be suspicious.But there is credit for recapturing the Zhaoye Jade Lion, and the credit outweighs the fault, so it's not good for the father and daughter to care too much about it.

What's more, it's just the sea of ​​qi, which doesn't pose any threat to Zhou Yunlong, a senior stellar qi master.

It can reassure Zhou Yunlong.

Jiangnan deliberately lured the lame away from the courtyard, and when he saw that the lame wanted to give up chasing, he immediately stopped to provoke him, and kept a distance of seven or eight feet from the lame all the time, giving hope to the lame, but making him unable to catch up.

After chasing and stopping, before he knew it, he had already left the courtyard more than ten miles away.

Seeing that the bitch in front of him was neither blushing nor out of breath, it was obvious that he still had strength to spare.The cripple also reacted at this time, knowing that he had hit the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.

Moreover, if you continue to chase, there is no hope of catching up.

Had to stop bitterly.

Jiang Nan didn't care either.

Guessing it took so long, Zhou Xiaomeng should have dealt with the two air and sea bandits and snatched the horse back.

Immediately change direction and rush to the road where the two came.

really.

On the way, I saw Zhou Xiaomeng galloping on the Zhaoye Jade Lion.

"Li Qingshan, how are you? You weren't hurt by that cripple, right?"

Zhou Xiaomeng reined in his horse and stopped, and asked with concern.

"No." Jiang Nan shook his head: "The cripple can't run fast, and he can't catch up with me at all."

"Ha. How did you come up with the idea of ​​using lightness kung fu to lure the cripple away?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked curiously.

"Didn't the book of war say that you should use your own strength to attack the enemy's weakness?"

"Ah? Do you still know the art of war?"

"I understand a little bit. Let's hurry back to the Escort Bureau station, so as not to be caught up by the people of the Changhe Gang."

"Yeah." Zhou Xiaomeng moved her butt forward, and suddenly said, "Come on."

"Ok?"

"This Zhaoye jade lion runs fast, so you can ride it too." Zhou Xiaomeng tried to keep his voice calm.

"it is good."

Jiang Nan didn't refuse either.

Get on the horse and sit behind Zhou Xiaomeng.

Although the physique of the Zhaoyeyu lion is a size larger than that of ordinary horses, it is inevitable that two riders will touch each other.

Summer clothes are light and thin.

Zhou Xiaomeng's skin was soft and hot.

Jiang Nan clearly felt that Zhou Xiaomeng's whole body suddenly tensed up when the two of them were touching their chests and backs.

Then, the butt moved forward again.

"drive--"

To cover up his embarrassment, Zhou Xiaomeng leaned over and patted the horse's neck.

The Zhaoye Jade Lion gallops forward.

Zhou Xiaomeng's long black hair was just tied up casually with a headband, fluttering in the wind, and most of it fell on Jiangnan's face.

Soft, itchy.

What floated on Jiangnan's face was not only Zhou Xiaomeng's long hair, but also the faint fragrance unique to girls.

Jiang Nan felt slightly strange.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but laugh.

really.

If it's okay, don't get too close to beautiful women.

As a normal man, there is some charm that cannot be resisted at all.

"why are you laughing?"

For some reason, Zhou Xiaomeng noticed Jiangnan's tiny movements as if he had eyes behind his back.

"I'm laughing. Ms. Zhou said before that if you save the Zhaoye Jade Lion, you will reward me with ten times the reward." Jiangnan exclaimed like a money fan: "Ten times the reward, that's 2000 taels of silver!"

"Hmph! I can't do without you!"

Zhou Xiaomeng snorted coldly.

He slapped the white horse under him vigorously.

"drive--"

Don't talk to Jiangnan anymore.

The two of them returned to the temporary station of the Liuyun Escort, and the bodyguards who went out to inquire about the news had not yet returned.

Only Zhou Yunlong and a few trippers were there.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes from a distance, Zhou Yunlong rushed out, and was overjoyed when he saw the Zhaoye Jade Lion like a bolt of white lightning.

"Xiaomeng, how did you do it?"

Zhou Yunlong asked in surprise.

After finishing the words, he noticed that Jiang Nan, who was sitting next to Zhou Xiaomeng, frowned slightly.

Jiang Nan got off his horse.

Zhou Xiaomeng also raised her leg and jumped off the horse.

"It's all thanks to Li Qingshan." Zhou Xiaomeng's voice was excited.

Like falling beans, how the two of them followed the boatman, how they found the courtyard, how they were overthrown by Jiangnan medicine, how they lured the lame master away, and finally he managed to snatch back the story of the Zhaoye Jade Lion, from the beginning. Said it at the end.

Zhou Yunlong looked at Jiangnan with complex expressions flashing across his eyes.

Immediately, he patted Jiangnan on the shoulder and said cordially: "Brother Li will make the first contribution to finding the dart this time. Don't worry, brother Li. When the dart is successfully sent to Jiangnan, in addition to the original escort's remuneration. The head will take out an additional 500 taels of silver as a reward for Brother Li."

Zhou Yunlong finished his sentence, and before Jiang Nan could answer, Zhou Xiaomeng interjected awkwardly: "Well, dad, I forgot to tell you something. Just now, I promised to increase his remuneration tenfold, which should be 2000 taels."

"Uh..." Zhou Yunlong's mouth twitched.

Immediately, he smiled again and said, "Okay. Just as you said, 2000 taels."

"You are my daughter and the head of the Escort Bureau. What you said is the same as what I said." Zhou Yunlong added.

"Yes. Thank you, dad." Zhou Xiaomeng smiled happily.

Quite proudly, he pouted at Jiangnan.

It seems to be saying, look, if I promise you, I will fight for you, and I will definitely keep my word.

Zhou Yunlong saw his daughter's expression in his eyes, and his eyes flicked across Jiangnan, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

Originally, the joy of recovering the Zhaoye Jade Lion also inexplicably diminished a lot.
