Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 202 Overnight Fee

poisonous!

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that this is poison in medicine.

And it's also poisonous.

Seeing this, the male host's face changed drastically, and he turned around and fled.

pity.

Only two steps away, Jiangnan's long sword was already on his neck.

"Hero, spare your life! The little ghost is obsessed, it's all instigated by outsiders... ah..."

Before the host could finish speaking, his body shook suddenly, and he was shot in the vest by a hidden weapon.

The hidden weapon is not big, but the strength of the person who launches the hidden weapon is not small.

The hidden weapon went from the back, through the vest, and shot directly into the heart of the male host.

The male master was just an ordinary person, after he cried out in pain, he immediately fell silent.

Jiang Nan withdrew his sword and let the host's body slowly fall to the ground.

In fact, when the hidden weapon was shot at the back of the male host, Jiang Nan had already noticed it.

but.

So what if you notice?

A person who dares to poison himself, no matter what the reason is, will die as soon as he dies, and there is no need to save him.

Just right.

So as not to get your hands dirty.

"Boy, you are already surrounded by us. Let's get caught!"

A middle-aged beggar who was blind in one eye held a portrait in his hand, and shouted loudly while comparing Jiangnan's appearance.

Originally, Jiang Nan actually changed his appearance with makeup, and there was not much similarity with that portrait.

However, after being beaten into the river by the congenital old man who secretly protected Zhou Jing, he hid at the bottom of the river for a long time, and the medicine powder applied to his face had already been washed away by the river water, returning to his original appearance.

For a while, Jiangnan didn't bother to remake up, so he lived in this farmer's house.

Now that I think about it, it was probably when the host went to the city to help Jiangnan grab medicine, he saw this wanted portrait somewhere and betrayed Jiangnan.

More people appeared outside the hut than Jiang Nan expected.

In addition to more than a dozen members of the beggar gang in ragged clothes, there are more than [-] warriors in different costumes.

Several of them, Jiang Nan had seen in the martial arts gym before.

Most likely, he was invited by these beggar gang members to help him.

The group of people outside may have gathered most of the experts in Chaohai County.

pity!

No matter how many mayflies there are, they can't shake the big tree.

"Oh! Actually, I don't like killing people!"

Hearing the blind beggar's yell, looking at the pair of eyes staring at the surrounding, feeling the other's expression as if he was determined by him, Jiang Nan sighed softly.

"Pretend! When death is imminent, I'm still pretending...hahaha..."

In the encirclement, someone laughed.

The others laughed as if they were laughing.

just.

Soon, the laughing person seemed to be stuck in the neck, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Because the few people standing at the front who laughed the most, including the head of the middle-aged blind beggar, all rolled to the ground with their smiling heads.

It's just a flash of sword light.

"This is a master! The ultimate master!"

In the hearts of the survivors, such a thought flashed subconsciously at the same time.

As the organizers of this operation, they are very aware of the martial arts of the blind beggar, and they are definitely among the top three in Chaohai County.

Therefore, when the blind beggar invited them to act together, no one dared to lose face.

However, when they learned that what they were dealing with was just the young man with the boyish face in the portrait, there were definitely a lot of complaints from the bottom of their hearts or privately that the blind beggar was "making a fuss out of a molehill".

Unexpectedly, the blind beggar who was so powerful in their hearts couldn't even block the opponent's sword.

No.

More precisely, it was a half-sword.

Because of the opponent's sword, several heads were cut off at the same time.

Whether it is a "powerful" blind beggar, or the ordinary beggars around him, under that sword, there is no difference.

"The wind is screaming!"

Someone yelled in slang.

"Mom..."

Someone exclaimed directly with a mantra.

The expressions are different, but the movements are surprisingly consistent, and they all run away.

The sword light in Jiang Nan's hand flashed again, killing all the remaining Beggar Clan disciples in the crowd, and then stopped.

The number of people is large, and it is enough to kill these beggar gang disciples who are the "masterminds", whether it is "killing chickens to make an example" or "killing people to silence the mouth".

Ants that can be trampled to death with one foot will not have much sense of accomplishment even if they end up with an ant nest.

Watching this group of mobs all escape without a trace.

Jiang Nan knew that the trouble had only just begun.

Gently wipe the blood off the sword.

He dug out a set of coarse cloth clothes with a fishy smell from the room, and casually took a bamboo hat with a rotten hole... After some dressing up, the original weak scholar became a common fisherman in Chaohai County people.

Without delay, Jiangnan immediately picked up a pile of fishing gear and strode towards the beach.

Compared with the land, the vast sea is safer.

Even a congenital master would become extremely small in the face of the boundless sea.

More than half of Chaohai County is on the coastline.Jiangnan carried the fishing gear and walked for about half an hour before arriving at the beach.

Some people sort out the catches, some mend the fishing nets, and some tidy up the fishing boats.

Jiang Nan fell in love with a larger fishing boat, and controlled the owner of the fishing boat with the method of soul-stirring, and gave the other party a piece of silver far exceeding the value of the fishing boat.

In a daze, the captain passively completed the transaction.

Fishing boats set up in the south of the Yangtze River, along the coast, all the way south.

The arrest warrant of the beggar gang was indeed somewhat beyond Jiang Nan's expectations.Going further north, no matter how good the disguise is, it is inevitable to show one's feet.

On the contrary, the further south, out of Yangzhou, into Lingnan and even Jiaozhou, the power of the beggar gang will become smaller and smaller.

This has nothing to do with geographic location, but mainly with local economic conditions.

The richer the place, the more beggars there are, and the greater the power of the beggar gang.

Such as Jiangnan Road and Yangzhou.

These two places are the most prosperous places in Dazhou except for the imperial capital, and there are tens of thousands of disciples of the Beggar Clan in these two places.

The environment in Lingnan Road and Jiaozhou is harsh and sparsely populated. Relatively speaking, there are many fewer Beggar Sect disciples.

The local people, even if they are struggling to feed themselves, how can they find food to feed the beggars who are used to eating cheap food? !

Jiangnan once stole the ability to steer a boat from a boatman, so there was no problem in manipulating a fishing boat.

The fishing boat kept its position two or three kilometers away from the coast, and went south all the way, but it was safe at first.

Before I knew it, it was evening.

The sea wind suddenly picked up, and the waves gradually became rough.

The fishing boats in the south of the Yangtze River are like a light leaf, undulating with the waves, gradually losing control.

"Manpower is really too small in front of nature!"

After working hard for a while, Jiangnan had to abandon the fishing boat and swim back to the shore alone.

Halfway through the swim, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a big ship that also sheltered from wind and waves.

This big boat was seven to eight feet long, and although it couldn't compete with the waves, it wasn't in danger of capsizing at any time like the fishing boats in the south of the Yangtze River.

The people on the big boat soon discovered Jiangnan.

Someone threw a rope and yelled, "Hold on!"

Jiang Nan was not polite, he grabbed the rope and was pulled onto the deck by the people on board.

More than a dozen men on the deck are working together to control the sails, trying to get the ship into a natural safe harbor not far away.

"Little brother, why is he alone at sea?"

The first middle-aged fat man in a long gown asked in surprise.

"I caught a big fish in the net. I got greedy and didn't want to let go. I was dragged away by the boat. Then, I encountered a strong wind..." Jiangnan sighed: "As a result, the fish also ran away and the net was broken. Yes, the boat capsized too!"

"Oh, little brother, you are really unlucky!"

The fat man sighed dumbly, glanced at the wet coarse clothes on Jiangnan's body, and did not doubt Jiangnan's words.

Comfortingly said: "You don't have a boat, if you don't have a living for the time being, you can follow me and help on the boat."

The fat man pointed to the piles of pockets on the boat: "I mainly do some salt selling business, and I can't make a lot of money. It's not a problem to give you enough food to eat."

Hearing this, Jiang Nan was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, I met a good man.

Although the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty had expressly stipulated that private sales of salt were prohibited, it mainly referred to the mainland.

Along the coast, there are many natural salt fields that are rich in sea salt.Many local people make a living from this.

If the imperial court really banned it completely, it would cut off the livelihood of these common people, and there would definitely be big troubles.

Therefore, the salt ban policy is actually turning a blind eye to the coastal areas, and private trafficking in sea salt is not uncommon.

However, most of these "private persons" are local rich and powerful families, and even local ruling officials stand behind them.

Anyway, Haiyan has entered Yangzhou and other major commercial cities, but most of it has flowed into official channels.

It's not easy for this fat man to do sea salt business.

"That's it, thank you very much!"

After Jiang Nan thanked him, he took the initiative to join the sailing team.

After about half a cup of tea, the big ship finally successfully entered the safe harbor.After the sail was lowered, the shaking of the ship's body was also much smaller immediately.

Everyone on board breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people were so tired that they just sat down on the deck.

Fatty looked at the wind and waves outside the safe haven in the distance, and ordered loudly:

"Leave two people on duty overnight, and the rest will rest in the cabin. Looking at the weather, we have to spend the night here tonight!"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, a sneer suddenly came from the cliff outside the harbor:
"Hey! I want to stay here overnight, have you paid the overnight fee?"
