Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 94
"What's wrong?" Jiang Nan asked.

My aunt didn't answer, but raised her sword and approached the bandit leader's corpse, and used the point of the sword to pry open the trousers on his calf where the golden-winged flying snake had bitten him.

The two black snake tooth marks are very conspicuous.

Jiang Nan immediately understood his aunt's plan.

Sure enough, with a swipe of my aunt's long sword, the tooth marks were turned into a big wound, and the tooth marks disappeared completely.

From the trauma alone, it would only be thought that it was stabbed by a poisoned sword blade, and it would not be connected to a living snake.

In this way, the Golden Winged Flying Snake will not leak.

At critical times, it might be able to be used as a big killer again.

"Miss Ye is as sincere as a hair!"

Jiang Nan praised, and followed suit with other corpses poisoned by the Golden Winged Flying Snake.

After some processing, the four of them went back on the road.

In order to avoid the pursuit of Shangguan Wujiu and others, the four decided to abandon the land route and take the water route instead.

Although the water route is slower than the land route, as long as you hide in the cabin, no one will know who is sitting in the boat, reducing the possibility of exposure.

The four hurried for more than 100 miles and arrived at the bank of the Lianshui River.

Jiang Nan deliberately disguised himself as a scholar studying, and rented a two-foot-long black awning boat.

The boss of the boat is a dark man in his thirties.

Claiming to have been sailing on the Lianshui River for nearly ten years, he promised to reach the territory of Henan Road along the Lianshui River in two days.

The shipping fee is calculated on a daily basis, two taels of silver a day.

Jiangnan ordered the boat boss to steer the boat away from the pier and dock in a deserted place five miles downstream.

The boss of the ship didn't ask too many questions, just executed it.

Jiang Nan successfully picked up Xiong Er and San who had been waiting for a long time.

Jiang Nan asked himself that this careful operation did not leave any traces.

Unexpectedly, within half a day, the boat was surrounded by seven or eight small boats more than one foot long.

Although the boats are small, they don't have a canopy. There are two big shirtless men with paddles on each boat, and the rowing speed is more than twice as fast as that of a black-covered boat.

The face of the boat boss changed drastically.

The person standing on the bow of the boat rushed to the boat and shouted, "I've met all the heroes of the Lianshui Gang in Xiawuqi!"

"This month's monthly payment has already been handed in. I don't know if you come here, what are your orders?"

"Stop the boat, let everyone in the cabin come out and accept the inspection." A squint-eyed man who looked like a leader on the boat shouted at Wu Qi.

The boss of the boat, who called himself Wu Qi, looked distressed: "There are female relatives in the cabin, isn't that good?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The leader pointed at Wu Qi with a long knife in his hand, and ordered coldly: "Either you let them come out, or we kill them and get on the boat."

Wu Qi's expression changed, and he said with an apologetic smile: "The heroes calm down, I will let them come out."

Immediately, he turned his head towards Jiangnan and the others in the cabin and said with a wry smile: "Guests, I'm sorry, please come out and let the heroes of the Lianshui Gang check it out."

The boat is not big, Wu Qi believes that the owner in the cabin has heard the conversation just now clearly.

I have tried my best.

"What does the Lianshui Gang do? Is it an official?" Jiang Nan asked loudly in the cabin.

Wu Qi was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to explain to Jiangnan.

You can't say in front of the Lianshui Gang on the surrounding boats that this Lianshui Gang is a gang on the Lianshui River that specializes in collecting protection fees and tolls.

I had no choice but to answer honestly: "No."

"Since it's not an official post, what qualifications do you have to inspect us?" Jiangnan asked coldly.

Wu Qi was taken aback by Jiang Nan's words.

This questioning must have been heard by the thugs of the Lianshui Gang on the surrounding boats.

really.

"Haha! Someone asked us what qualifications we have?"

The squinting-eyed leader seemed to have heard a big joke, and casually pointed to a skinny shirtless man beside him: "Liu Ming, tell him!"

The skinny man without tongs couldn't help laughing: "Because we have many brothers, because our fists are big, and because the godmother of our gang leader is a famous innate master!"

The lean man named Liu Ming spoke proudly.

It seems that because of these, they are superior to others.

"What is a congenital master?"

Jiang Nan, dressed as a scholar, stepped out of the cabin and asked curiously.

"The Xiantian Grandmaster is nothing... Ah, bah! The Xiantian Grandmaster is a martial arts master who can start a sect!" Then Liu Ming was surrounded by Jiangnan earlier.

He thought to himself: "It turns out that he is a sour scholar who reads dead books, no wonder even the innate master doesn't know about it."

So, continue to speak to Jiangnan to popularize knowledge:

"Let me tell you, the Xiantian Grandmaster is no different from the third-rank officials on the side of your administration!"

In order to let the nerd on the opposite side understand the intimidating power of the innate master, this Liu Ming also took great pains, and even made a rare analogy.

"Such a dick?!"

Jiang Nan looked terrified.

"Haha. Are you scared?" Liu Ming looked smug: "Now, hurry up and call out the female relatives in your cabin and let our leader check to see if they are the culprits that my Lianshui Gang wants to arrest... Hehe ..."

Liu Ming's last smile was extremely obscene, obviously with malicious intentions.

The squinting-eyed leader also had a wretched expression of "You still understand me".

"Since you are a female family member, how can you show your face so easily?" Jiang Nan shook his head, took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and handed it to Wu Qi reluctantly: "Xiaosheng has five taels of silver here, please pass it on to the heroes of the Lianshui Gang, can you do it?" convenient?"

Wu Qi took the silver, and carefully threw it across the water to the squint-eyed leader on the boat, and said, "This young master is so polite, can you please take care of me, Wu Qi, and don't disturb the female relatives in the cabin?"

"In the cabin, apart from the young master who is studying, there is only one guard and two female relatives." Wu Qi added, "There are really no thieves you want to arrest!"

"Two men and two women?"

The squint-eyed leader was startled when he heard the words.

He exchanged a glance with Liu Ming who was beside him, with a pleasant expression on his face.

The captain of the boat, Wu Qi, didn't know that he had inadvertently leaked information that Jiang Nan tried so hard to cover up.

Nodding instinctively, he asked, "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem! It's a big problem! Hahaha..."

The squinting-eyed leader laughed loudly, raised his hand and released a cloud-piercing arrow into the sky as a signal.

The dark smoke lingered for a long time in the air tens of feet high.

Wu Qi looked shocked.

It also seems to realize that something is not right.

Jiang Nan put his hand on his forehead and smiled helplessly into the cabin: "Can you swim?"

Auntie and Ye Qingqing nodded at the same time.

Only Xiong Er raised his head and asked naively: "I know how to plan with a dog, does that count?"

"Forget it." Jiang Nan said with a smile.

"The Lianshui gang, named after water, must be very good at water kung fu."

"If the situation is not right, jump into the water and go ashore immediately."

The crowd nodded.

The members of the Lianshui Gang on the small boats opposite were not in a hurry to approach the awning boat after sending out the signal, obviously knowing that the target on the boat was not easy to deal with.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan had no choice but to draw his sword in his hand, and ordered to Wu Qi: "Rush over!"

Wu Qi was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again: "No way. If you offend the Lianshui Gang, you will die."

"If you don't charge, you will die now." Jiang Nan's long sword shook.

"well……"

Wu Qi hastily compromised, leaning over as if to steer the boat.

Then, taking advantage of Jiangnan's unpreparedness, a fierce son plunged into the river.

Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing.

He also had no intention of embarrassing the boss of the ship who was innocently involved.

Otherwise, there are at least several ways to kill it the moment it jumps into the river.

"I'll drive the boat." My aunt got up and said.

"I'll help." Ye Qingqing also said.

The two were born in the East Island, and swimming and boating are basic skills.

Soon, the awning boat suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the surrounding boats.

The squint-eyed leader's small boat was the first to bear the brunt, unable to dodge in time, it was directly overturned by the black-covered boat, which was twice its size.

The awning boat rushed out of the encirclement, but my aunt's expression suddenly became serious.

"Duh-duh-"

Suddenly, there was a dull noise from under the hull.

It was the squint-eyed leader and others who fell into the water, sneaked under the black-covered boat, and drilled holes in the bottom of the boat with weapons.

The awning boat is an ordinary passenger ship, not specially reinforced.

Soon, there were two large holes in the bottom of the boat.

The river gurgled into the cabin from the hole.

My aunt had no choice but to try her best to control the awning boat to dock.

When it was still three feet away from the shore, most of the hull had sunk, and other intact small boats had also surrounded it.

"You go ashore first."

Jiang Nan broke off a few boat planks and threw them onto the river.

Ye Qingqing and her aunt understood, and jumped up, using their toes on the floating planks of the boat, they jumped onto the shore.

"It's too far! I can't jump over it." Xiong Er hesitated slightly.

Jiang Nan knew that Xiong Er would not do light work, so he comforted softly: "It's okay, I'll help you."

Saying that, when my aunt stood still on the shore, she directly grabbed Xiong Er's lapel, lifted his huge body, and threw him towards the shore suddenly.

With a tacit understanding, the aunt raised her hand to stroke Xiong Erfei's body a few times, and Xiong Erfei's body immediately adjusted its direction and stood firmly on the ground.

At this time, the river has soaked to the bottom of Jiangnan.

Jiang Nan didn't dare to be negligent, he put his right foot on the black-covered boat that had almost completely sunk in the river, used his strength to jump more than one foot high, and then condescendingly threw himself towards the shore, directly jumping more than two feet away.

However, it is still half a foot away from the shore.

Fortunately, the scabbard in Ye Qingqing's hand reached out in due course.

Jiangnan grasped the top of the scabbard with a little force, and finally managed to get ashore.

Looking back, there are more than ten black spots of different sizes coming quickly in the distance.

Jiang Nan knew that it was the Lianshui Gang who had seen the signal and surrounded them.

These minions may not be taken seriously by Jiang Nan and others, but if they are entangled by the other party and wait for other masters, it will be troublesome.

Jiang Nan and his aunt looked at each other, and immediately ran to the mountains in the distance.

The mountains are suitable for hiding, as long as you don't meet masters above Longmen, with the strength of four people, they are enough to deal with them.

Sprint all the way.

Behind them, the people of Lianshui Gang got farther and farther away.

This was the third wave of enemies that everyone encountered after entering Jiangbei Road.

During the break, my aunt suggested: "Juyi Villa is powerful, and even the waterway is blocked. If we go further, the enemy may be stronger. Or, we should do the opposite and return to Shannan Road?"

"The strongest martial arts force in Shannan Road is the Zhongnan Sword Sect. Its master Taixu Zhenren and my second brother are inseparable. If it is not possible, we can seek refuge in the Zhongnan Sword Sect."

"I'm afraid Miss Ye wants to go to Jiannan Road via Shannan Road?" Jiang Nan exposed without any concealment.

Auntie's face turned red.

In fact, when Shangguan Wujiu said that Fusheng Swordsman was going to challenge Chu Wuji, the acting leader of the Demon Sect, my aunt and Ye Qingqing wanted to go to Ye Fusheng and persuade him to give up.

However, at that time, my aunt was seriously injured, and Jiang Nan did not hesitate to teach her the secret healing technique, and Shangguan Wujiu was eyeing her like a tiger, so the two of them couldn't just abandon Jiang Nan and leave.

Thinking of surviving Shangguan Wujiu's pursuit with Jiangnan, it won't be too late to separate.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wujiu's pursuit came so violently.

Auntie spoke at this time, in addition to her original intention, there were actually two reasons she said.

It's just that he didn't expect that Jiang Nan would directly guess it.

"That's right. As long as you find my second uncle, who is your father, from Juyi Villa in Jiannan Road, he will definitely not dare to attack us again." Ye Qingqing opened his mouth to help my aunt.

Hearing this, Jiang Nan rolled his eyes helplessly.

This joke is impossible!
Several people identified the direction, immediately adjusted their direction, and rushed back to Shannan Road.

Auntie's decision may have really exceeded the expectations of the people in Juyi Villa. It was not until they returned to the junction of Jiangbei Road and Shannan Road that the pursuers came up.

Unexpectedly, this pursuer was an old woman selling candied haws.

Because of the continuous rush, the four people in Jiangnan were thirsty and hungry.

When the old woman selling candied haws appeared under the archway at the entrance of the town, the bunches of red and round candied haws almost made Xiong Er and Ye Qingqing drool.

Even my aunt couldn't help but subconsciously licked her full lips.

Ye Qingqing took out the silver and was about to go up to buy it, but was stopped by Jiang Nan.

"what happened?"

Ye Qingqing asked in surprise.

Jiang Nan patted the skin on his waist and smiled, "Candied haws are too sweet, eating them will cause tooth decay."

"Tooth decay?"

"It's just that there are worms growing in the teeth." Jiang Nan explained.

Ye Qingqing was startled, and put away the money with a troubled expression: "Then I won't eat."

"Yeah." Jiang Nan nodded, pointing to the busy town in front of him: "There is a restaurant there, let's go directly to eat."

Auntie looked suspiciously, glanced at the old woman selling candied haws calmly, and answered first: "Okay."

The four of them entered the town, entered the restaurant, just sat down, before the food was ordered, the old woman selling candied haws came in with her.

"Go, go, sell candied haws, sell them outside, don't affect our business."

As soon as he saw the old woman, the shopkeeper of the restaurant shouted to drive her away.

The old woman's face changed slightly, and a stern light flashed in her eyes, but she retracted it in an instant, and exited the restaurant calmly.

Taking advantage of the time between ordering dishes, Jiang Nan pointed to the old woman who had already walked outside the restaurant and asked the waiter: "Is the candied haws sold by the old woman delicious?"

"I don't know." Xiao Er shook his head, "I haven't eaten it."

"Why, isn't this old woman from your town?" Jiang Nan asked.

"No. I've never seen it before." Xiaoer thought for a while, and added, "Maybe, he just came from another place. The world is bad, and there are more and more refugees..."

Jiang Nan nodded, and used a piece of silver to dismiss Xiao Er who was about to chatter away.

"Why, is there something wrong with the old woman?" Ye Qingqing asked curiously.

"Maybe. I just think it's too coincidental that the old lady appeared." Jiang Nan replied, "Besides, when she appeared, my little baby was a little restless."

Jiang Nan patted the skin on his waist.

Ye Qingqing knew that there was a golden-winged flying snake inside that could bite to death a strong qi master.

My heart suddenly trembled.

Immediately, he glared at Jiangnan angrily again: "Okay. If you have any questions, just tell me directly. Why did you lie to me that eating candied haws will cause worms to grow in your teeth?"

"I didn't lie to you. If you eat sweets, you will really grow worms..." Jiang Nan explained with a smile.

It's just that no matter how you look at this smile, it seems to be deliberately scaring people.

"Hmph! I believe you! You rambunctious guy, you are very bad..." Ye Qingqing stretched out his hand to pinch the soft flesh in Jiangnan's waist, but was easily dodged by Jiangnan's side.

"Then what do we do now?"

The auntie interrupted their playfulness.

I don't know when, my aunt, who was quite hostile to Jiangnan, has unknowingly regarded Jiangnan as the core of the team.

"Eat first." Jiang Nan said, "I guess that old woman is probably a master of Gu."

"Gu technique?" Auntie's expression changed.

Hastily grabbed Ye Qingqing's hand holding the teacup, and shouted: "Don't drink!"
