Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 140 Stop Pretending, Butterfly!
"Father, do you want it?"

In the cabin, Zhou Xiaomeng quietly gestured to Zhou Yunlong to wipe his neck.

Zhou Yunlong shook his head.

He stood up, walked out of the cabin, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, my son, I don't like to be disturbed by others. As the saying goes, it's convenient for others, so please do me a favor. This ingot is my treat for you to drink."

As Zhou Yunlong said, he took out an ingot of ten taels of silver, raised his hand, and threw it directly to the boat.

The member of the Changhe gang subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it.

When he looked down, his expression couldn't help but change.

There are three fingerprints on the silver.

Apparently, the middle-aged man dressed as an ordinary guard on the opposite side pinched it casually.

Reminiscent of the "Master" in his mouth, an ordinary guard has such martial arts, and his status as "Master" must be extremely difficult.

"The opponent is acting both hard and soft!"

The toll collectors of the Changhe Gang understood it in their hearts.

Looking at each other, the leader stuffed the silver into his bosom, nodded and said: "Okay, then we will give you this face!"

The boat withdrew slowly, out of the way.

In this world, there may not be many people that the Changhe Gang can't afford to offend, but there are countless big figures like myself who are unaffected by the Changhe Gang's youngsters.

Anyway, the money has already been obtained, so there is no need to take the risk of boarding the big ship just to find out.

Looking at the martial arts of the middle-aged guard pinching flat silver ingots, it is obvious that few of them can deal with it.

If you get anxious, or see something you shouldn't see, and the other party kills in a fit of rage, you won't be able to escape.

These people have been hanging around in the Changhe gang for a long time. Apart from bullying the weak and fearing the hard, they also know how to seek good luck and avoid evil.

Watching the boat go further and further, the old boatman finally heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly glanced at the black horse in the cabin curiously.

This middle-aged villain was obviously afraid that those members of the Changhe Gang would find the dark horse when they boarded the boat.

Reminiscent of the other party's previous move of not allowing the dark horse to board the boat from Fenglingdu Wharf, the old boatman knew that this dark horse must be something extremely important.

"It's best not to look at things you shouldn't look at!"

Zhou Yunlong's cold voice suddenly came from the old boatman's ear.

The old boatman was startled, not knowing when this villain came to him.

Hastily nodded and bowed to apologize: "Yes, yes, yes! The little one will definitely take care of his eyes. You rest first, and the little one will make you a pot of hot tea."

As the old boatman said, he took the opportunity to hide aside.

For a long-distance boat like this, it usually takes several days to float on the water.In addition to dry food, there are simple cooking utensils on board.Pottery stove, iron pot, kettle, charcoal, water, etc.

Zhou Yunlong returned to the cabin, and not long after, the old boatman came in with a pot of steaming tea.

Zhou Xiaomeng reached out to take it, and poured a bowl for each of them.

There was not a drop of water all night, and the three of them were indeed thirsty.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Nan took the tea bowl from Zhou Xiaomeng, smelled the faint fragrance of the crude tea, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

While blowing away the tea powder floating in the tea bowl, he pretended to casually glance at the old boatman who had left the cabin.Seeing that the other party was secretly watching the movement of several people in the cabin.

Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing.

really.

The rabbit will kick the eagle when it is anxious.

Even an ordinary boatman who doesn't know martial arts dares to take the risk if he is pushed hard.

In the arena, one cannot underestimate any seemingly insignificant person.

At this time, both Zhou Yunlong and Zhou Xiaomeng had brought the tea bowls to their mouths.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Nan suddenly spoke.

"what happened?"

The father and daughter stopped their movements vigilantly.

"There is a small bug in this tea, which is already dirty and can't be drunk."

As Jiang Jiang spoke, he picked up the teapot and walked out of the cabin, and handed it to the old boatman: "Old man, please reheat the pot."

"Okay, son." The old boatman replied tremblingly, taking the teapot with his trembling hands: "Wait a minute, the little one will go now."

When Jiang Nan returned to the cabin, Zhou Yunlong took out a silver needle and inserted it into the tea to test the poison.

The color of the silver needle has not changed.

"No problem?" Zhou Xiaomeng looked at Jiangnan suspiciously.

For most poisons, silver needles will change color.

"It's not poisonous. It's just an ordinary sweat medicine." Jiang Nan said lightly.

Zhou Yunlong picked up the tea bowl and licked it lightly, and he found a faint sour taste.

It's the smell of Mongolian sweat medicine.

The rough tea tasted very strong, if not for Jiang Nan's reminder, Zhou Yunlong really wouldn't be able to taste it.

Seeing his father's expression, Zhou Xiaomeng immediately understood that Jiang Nan was not lying.

Pressing the long sword, he said angrily: "I will kill this father and son who are trying to harm others."

He was grabbed by Zhou Yunlong: "Okay, you kill them, who will drive the boat?"

When Zhou Yunlong said this, he obviously understood why Jiangnan didn't expose him face to face, but ordered the old boatman to re-burn the pot.

Most likely, they also considered the consequences, pretended not to know, and gave the other party a chance to choose again.

To put it bluntly, this old boatman was only terrified by Zhou Yunlong, worried that he would not give them the antidote for the so-called Qigu Duanchang Pill in the end, so he wanted to use Mongolian sweat medicine to overthrow the three people's medicine, and take the initiative in his own hands .

The root of the grievances actually lies with Zhou Yunlong.

"Qingshan, how did you know there was something wrong with this tea?" Zhou Yunlong asked in surprise.

Zhou Xiaomeng also looked at Jiangnan with burning eyes.

"I have a little knowledge of medical skills, and I have seen the color of tea mixed with Mongolian sweat medicine, so I recognized it at a glance." Jiangnan Road.

"Oh? You still know medical skills?" Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes lit up, and then she stretched out her hands and approached Jiangnan, and said anxiously: "Then help me to see, my hands have been a little black since yesterday afternoon. Look, am I suffering from some strange disease?"

Jiang Nan looked intently and found that Zhou Xiaomeng's slender hands had turned into a faint black.

Jiang Nan stretched out his hand to rest on Zhou Xiaomeng's pulse.

"what?"

Jiang Nan's face changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked nervously.

Zhou Yunlong was also concerned about waiting for Jiangnan's diagnosis to take over.

"Miss Zhou's pulse condition is neither sinking nor floating, neither big nor small, neither strong nor weak, neither fast nor slow, even and gentle, with a regular rhythm... completely normal." Jiang Nan said in a deep voice.

Zhou's father and daughter almost choked to death at the same time.

Since it is completely normal, why do you say such a long list?
"Because the pulse is normal, it's a little strange that Miss Zhou's palm turned black." Jiang Jiang added.

"Ah."

Zhou's father and daughter nodded subconsciously.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of getting sick, you are afraid that the cause of the disease will not be found out.

Jiang Nan's fingers did not leave Zhou Xiaomeng's wrist in a hurry, but rested on his pulse, continuing to sense the situation in the opponent's body.

Jiang Nan's frown deepened.

After the consummation of "The Secret Record of the Golden Chamber", it was assisted by medical and poisonous classics such as "The Complete Chapter of the King of Medicine" and "The Secret Code of Ten Thousand Poisons". It's the top handful.

but.

Zhou Xiaomeng's inexplicably blackened hands left Jiangnan at a loss.

"Bah bah——"

When Jiangnan was thinking about Zhou's father and daughter, the black horse hidden in the cabin suddenly snorted.

The three instinctively looked towards the black horse.

Seeing that the black horse's body was painted in an uneven black, the three of them had the same thought in their hearts: "Could it be..."

Zhou Xiaomeng withdrew her wrist suddenly, and dipped some tea in the bowl on her blackened fingers.

Rub hard.

The black really faded a lot.

Three people, you look at me, I look at you, that expression...

Zhou Xiaomeng's cheeks turned red, and Jiangnan's cheeks were also hot.

What is a fucking social death?
This is called a fucking social death!

Zhou Xiaomeng hurried out of the cabin, poured out half a basin of clean water beside the old boatman, soaked her two palms in it, and rubbed them vigorously.

After the paint was washed away, witnessing a miracle, the hands regained their rosy white color.

Zhou Xiaomeng just wanted to bury his head in the valley below his neck!

At this time, another pot of tea from the old boatman boiled again.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the old boatman put the tea in orderly, without doing anything else.

Jiang Nan picked up the teapot and rinsed the previous tea bowl before refilling the hot tea.

After Jiangnan drank half a bowl first, Zhou's father and daughter started to drink immediately.

Before the tea was finished, the old boatman's son outside the cabin suddenly shouted: "It's not good! People from the Changhe Gang have come around!"

Jiang Nan heard the words and looked out of the cabin.

Sure enough, a big boat with the banner of the Changhe Gang and three small boats surrounded it from all sides.

"Father, what should we do now?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked solemnly.

"It's okay. They don't necessarily come here for the horse." Zhou Yunlong ordered in a deep voice: "You stay in the cabin and don't come out. I will negotiate with them."

"If we can't reach an agreement, I will kill the big ship and restrain the other party's main force. You hold the boatman hostage, and after rushing out, go ashore as soon as possible and go by land instead."

"Let's meet again on the way to Jiangnan Road."

As Zhou Yunlong said, he turned his eyes to Jiangnan: "Qingshan is extremely intelligent, if father is not around, you should listen to Qingshan's advice."

"Yeah." Zhou Xiaomeng nodded: "Father, be careful yourself."

"Qingshan, the safety of Xiaomeng and Zhaoyeyu Lion is in your hands. Don't worry, we father and daughter will never treat you badly afterwards." Zhou Yunlong patted Jiangnan on the shoulder and promised. "

"Don't worry, Chief Escort." Jiang Nan nodded.

While speaking, the big boat of the Changhe Gang was less than two feet away from the boat that the few people were on.

The boatmen on both sides tried their best to control their boats and not let the boats collide with each other.

"Masters of the Changhe Gang, we have already paid the toll, who are you?" The old boatman stood on the bow of the boat and asked fearfully.

"Hey. We suspect that you carried private goods on this ship, and you didn't pay enough tolls." A thin man with a mustache shouted coldly.

Jiang Nan discovered that the people standing behind the mustache were the people who collected tolls on the previous boat.

He knew in his heart that the other party must have taken the money, turned around and sold himself and the others, and reported the abnormality of the passenger ship to the superior in the gang.

This is Chi Guoguo's taking money and not doing anything!
Jiang Nan's eyes turned cold.

What is more hateful than those moths who accept bribes are this kind of villains who take bribes and do nothing, and then accuse you of bribes.

The old boatman subconsciously turned his head and looked at the cabin.

Zhou Yunlong came out of the cabin, cupped his hands and said: "My friends, there is nothing in the cabin except our young lady and my young master's black horse. If you don't believe me, send someone up to have a look."

Hearing the words, Bazihu ​​told a short man next to him holding a long knife, "Go."

The little man took the lead.

Immediately, he and a man next to him lifted a bamboo ladder on the big boat and put it between the two boats.

Stepping on the bamboo ladder, I carefully boarded the passenger ship opposite.

One side of Zhou Yunlong's body gave way to the short man to enter the cabin.

The little man leaned over to look into the cabin, and sure enough, there was nothing but a pair of young men and women and a black horse.

There was a man and a woman, the man was wearing brocade clothes, holding a folding fan, his face was fair, and he looked like a rich man.

That woman was dressed in a green dress, held a long sword, and had a beautiful appearance. She was a beautiful girl dressed as a Jianghu heroine.

The little man couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhou Xiaomeng a few more times.

Zhou Xiaomeng looked slightly angry, and tightened the long sword in his hand.

However, in the end I held back.

The short man saw Zhou Xiaomeng's expression and movements, smiled wretchedly indifferently, turned around and walked up the bamboo ladder, and returned to the big boat of the Changhe Gang.

"How?" Bazihu ​​asked.

"Aside from a man and a woman, there is indeed only one dark horse in the cabin. But..."

"But what?"

The short man smiled wretchedly, and whispered something next to his mustache.

The mustache raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed surprise: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true." The short man patted his chest and assured: "Hey, boss, how dare I lie to you?!"

"Okay! If this thing is done, I will credit you with great credit." Bazihu ​​promised excitedly.

On the other side, Zhou Yunlong on the passenger ship saw the reaction of Ba Zihu and others, and felt a little bit of a bad feeling in his heart.

really.

The character Hu took a few steps forward, walked to the bow, and shouted at Zhou Yunlong who was standing on the cabin: "Tell me, who are you? Where did you come from and where are you going?"

"Below is Zhang Kaishan, the guard of the Zhang family in Fuping City, Chang'an Road. In the cabin are the young master and young lady of our Zhang family. We came from Chang'an Road, and we are going to the imperial capital to join my young master's aunt." Zhou Yunlong replied neither humble nor overbearing. .

"Oh? Who is your young master's aunt?" The mustache asked with narrowed eyes.

"My young master's aunt is the second wife of the shopkeeper of Wang's Pharmacy in the imperial capital."

"Oh! So it's just the second wife of a pharmacy shopkeeper!" Ba Zihu sighed, and said to himself disdainfully, his face immediately changed, and he said coldly: "Zhang Kaishan, is this your fake name?"

Zhou Yunlong's expression froze, thinking that his identity had been seen through.

While secretly on guard, he pretended to be at a loss and asked back: "What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?"

"What do you mean? Hehe. Don't pretend..." Bazihu ​​sneered.

When Zhou Yunlong heard this, he subconsciously put his hand on the long sword at his waist.

Who knows.

But the mustache suddenly spit out a name he had never heard before: "Flower Butterfly!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Yunlong was stunned for a moment.

"Stop pretending, Butterfly! I'm talking about you! You flower-picker who roams around the Yangtze River Basin!"

The mustache shouted loudly.

"We've been tracking you down for a long time. Don't think you can fool me by pretending to be an ordinary guard under the pseudonym Zhang Kaishan!"

"The Miss Zhang family in the cabin is probably a victim who was coerced by you and is going to find a safe place to bully you?"

Mustache has a smug tone that I have seen through you a long time ago.

"Hey. With my brothers from the Changhe Gang, your dirty purpose will never succeed!"

The mustache stared at Zhou Yunlong righteously and shouted.

???

Not only Zhou Yunlong, but even Jiangnan and Zhou Xiaomeng in the cabin had countless question marks on their heads.

The boatman father and son had a sudden enlightenment expression on their faces.He thought to himself, no wonder this person is so vicious, he turned out to be a notorious flower picker!
"What? You were speechless after what I said?"

The mustache smiled triumphantly.

Then, he ignored Zhou Yunlong and ordered troops directly:

"You two, keep an eye on this flower picker. You guys, go to the cabin and rescue the coerced Zhang brothers and sisters."

"Well. Especially Miss Zhang, you must be careful, don't bump into each other..."
