Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 83 Assassination
  "There's still one month left before the Yanyin will be distributed. When I left the Yanyunshi Yamen recently, you should follow me as a guard!" Lin Ruhai thought for a while and made his request.

This is my disciple. Since my disciple is so brave, don’t waste it.

Every time during the salt distribution period, there will be small and medium-sized salt merchants who take desperate risks and want to create chaos in order to cause problems in the salt distribution, so as to obtain benefits beyond their own income.

After Jia Qiang finished chatting with Lin Ruhai, she was called over by her master Jia Min.

When he arrived at Jia Min's place, he saw Lin Daiyu and Yun Fei there, as well as a graceful and graceful woman in gorgeous clothes.

Since Yun Fei came to the Lin Mansion, she has washed off her beauty and dressed in plain clothes and light makeup. She has completely lost her appearance as the first courtesan in Jiangnan. However, this does not affect her appearance, but she has become more charming.

"I've met Master Mu!" Jia Qiang bowed and saluted Jia Min.

"You are quite famous!" Jia Min said lightly, causing Lin Daiyu to snicker, and Yun Fei also had a faint smile on her face.

Jia Qiang finally understood where Lin Daiyu's sharp words came from, and they were all inherited from Jia Min.

"Master, you are wronged!" Jia Qiang quickly replied.

He was already thinking about beating Xue Pan's big head into a pig's head the next time he saw him. It was all because of Xue Pan's manipulations that made outsiders think he liked famous prostitutes.

"I don't have many rooms here, so don't bring any more women back!" Jia Min knew that Jia Qiang was not to blame, but she still had to say what she should have said.

She not only wanted Jia Qiang to be Lin Ruhai's disciple, but also wanted Jia Qiang to be her son-in-law, so she had stricter requirements.

"Thank you, Master!" Jia Qiang heard what Jia Min said and knew that Jia Min had arranged it for her.

"Master Zhu, from now on you will live in the mansion and get along well with Yun Fei!" Jia Min turned around and said to the woman in gorgeous clothes.

"Yes, Mrs. Lin!" Mr. Zhu bowed gracefully.

She secretly glanced at Jia Qiang, feeling very happy.

She was trained by the Wang family since childhood and entertained many guests on the boat. However, since she was not old enough to comb her hair, she was confused about the future.

She was suddenly given away by the Wang family, which caught her off guard, but she was helpless.

With her status, even though she looks like a famous prostitute, she is actually just a tool in the hands of the Wang family.

Now that this tool is about to be used, naturally she can't help it.

She is even more pitiful than Yun Fei at the beginning, because she has never met Jia Qiang, and she has no idea about her future destiny.

Unlike Yun Fei, at least she has met Jia Qiang and knows that Jia Qiang has a distinguished status, so she is willing to join Jia Qiang.

Mr. Zhu had no autonomy at all. It was not until he was sent to the Lin Mansion and met Jia Min that he realized that he had been given to a young man named Jia Qiang.

Then she met Yun Fei, who was also a famous prostitute. They had met before, which relieved her anxiety.

After actually meeting Jia Qiang, Zhujun's inner uneasiness completely disappeared and was replaced by joy.

What girl is not pregnant with love? Even if Zhujun has met a lot of people, Jia Qiang's appearance and temperament are also top-notch. It is the kind of mist that makes you feel more and more lost.

In fact, the appearance of Jia Qiang's body is the best even in the world of Red Mansions.

Not to mention the special temperament caused by the fusion of two souls and the concentration of different cultures from two worlds in the same soul.

What makes his temperament even more special is the influence of practicing the "Taixu Jing" through game mana. The independence of the immortal, the elegance of the scholar, and the bravery of the warrior. All these characteristics are combined into one, creating a unique character. temperament.

This is also the reason why Yun Fei just met Jia Qiang once and thought about entrusting her with her for the rest of her life. Zhu Jun felt at ease when she saw her once.

"Sister, please take care of me more in the future!" Mr. Zhu just lost his mind and then saluted Yun Fei and said.

"Sister, you have also been reading poetry and books for a long time. Let's accompany the good lady together from now on!" Yun Fei reminded softly.

In front of Jia Min, she did not dare to call Lin Daiyu Sister Lin, but called her Miss.

"Mr. Zhu has met the lady!" Although Mr. Zhu didn't know the reason, she was also a person with Hui Zhilan's heart. Hearing Yun Fei's reminder, she bowed to Lin Daiyu again.

Lin Daiyu is very happy that she has another sister who is knowledgeable and courteous. With Yun Fei recently, she feels that her attainments in poetry and books have improved. The most important thing is that she has friends with whom she can talk.

"Brother Qiang, what are you still looking at here!" Jia Min said when she saw that Jia Qiang hadn't left yet.

Jia Qiang touched her nose. He was called by Jia Min. How dare he leave without Jia Min's instructions.

However, he did not dare to reason with Jia Min, so he bowed and bowed before exiting.

The next day, Jia Qiang received a notice from Lin Ruhai that Lin Ruhai was going to a dock.

He knew why he informed himself. He changed into a suit of armor and wore an inner armor with the 'Feng Yue Treasure Book' embedded in it. At his waist was the 'Qingfeng Sword' and the newly acquired nameless treasure bow, plus a pot of arrows. .

Putting down the visor, even if anyone knew him, they would not know that he was Jia Qiang.

The only flaw is the white horse, but not many people have seen his white horse officially.

Lin Ruhai took a carriage this time because the journey was quite far, and Jia Qiang rode a white horse beside the carriage.

Lin Ruhai brought a large number of saltmen with him. The first hundred people opened the way, the last hundred people blocked the rear, and the middle hundred people protected the carriage.

It's just that the weapons in Yanding's hands are really poor. They are mostly wooden spears and some Yanling knives. Jia Qiang thinks that the combat power is very unbearable.

But this is not in the capital. The capital camp in the capital protects the palace and has the best equipment.

Yan Ding is pretty good here. He wears cloth armor and the weapon in his hand is very sharp. It's not just a fake, it's a weapon that can really kill people.

"Be careful today!" Lin Ruhai reminded softly through the car window.

Jia Qiang suddenly became alert. He had previously thought that Lin Ruhai asked him to protect him as a precaution, but judging from the situation, Lin Ruhai had received news that someone wanted to assassinate Lin Ruhai.

He no longer took it lightly, but focused on his surroundings.

He had encountered an ambush before and almost suffered a big loss. After gaining experience, he was more alert to possible dangers.

However, we did not encounter any trouble on the way, and the carriage arrived at the dock.

This is a cargo terminal on the Yangzhou Canal. Dozens of cargo ships are lined up on the terminal, and some cargo ships are waiting to dock. From now on, you can see the current prosperity of Yangzhou.

Lin Ruhai got off the carriage, and Jia Qiang jumped off the white horse and followed behind Lin Ruhai while holding the white horse.

Someone in charge ran over and reported the matter to Lin Ruhai. Jia Qiang didn't listen much. He still focused on his surroundings.

Lin Ruhai handles affairs extremely carefully. In addition to listening to the supervisor's report, he will also go to the cargo ship to inspect and take samples from the salt bags for inspection.

There are many people on the dock, mainly coolies.

In a dock like this, all goods are moved up and down by manpower. The manpower is limited, so a lot of coolies are needed. The clothes of these coolies were in tatters, and some were even shirtless.

Jia Qiang's eyes swept over several people. Although the clothes of these people were also patched, their temperament was more like that of a sergeant than ordinary coolies.

"Be careful!" Jia Qiang suddenly reached out to block Lin Ruhai, and at the same time pulled out the 'Qingfeng Sword' from her waist.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!" A series of gold and iron sparks appeared on Jia Qiang's armor, which was the effect of a volley of short crossbows in the hands of several assassins.

"Kill the dog officer!" someone shouted, and at least two hundred coolies drew weapons from everywhere and rushed towards Lin Ruhai.

The rest of the coolies and unrelated people were frightened and ran in the other direction.

The location chosen by this group of assassins was very clever. When Lin Ruhai inspected the goods, he did not bring the rest of the saltmen with him. Three hundred saltmen guarded the perimeter, still some distance away from Lin Ruhai.

At this time, there was still a distance of tens of meters between Lin Ruhai and Yan Ding, but the fleeing coolies and others blocked these tens of meters. Even if Yan Ding wanted to rush over, it would take some time.

On Lin Ruhai's side, there were only Lin Ruhai and Jia Qiang. This was the best opportunity for the assassin to choose.

However, the assassin did not expect that the volley of short crossbows arranged in advance would at least seriously injure or kill Lin Ruhai, but the armored guard directly blocked all the attacks.

However, the assassins were not depressed. With more than two hundred people against two people, they still had a huge advantage.

It can only be said that those who have never seen heavy armored cavalry cannot imagine how terrifying heavy armored cavalry is.

"Sir, get on your horse!" Jia Qiang's voice came from inside the helmet, making a buzzing vibration.

He put Lin Ruhai on the white horse with one hand. He gave the order to the white horse, otherwise no one else could ride it.

Although a high-quality third-level war horse cannot be said to be the best in the world, it is definitely the top BMW.

In addition, the white horse is controlled by Jia Qiang, so Lin Ruhai who gets on the white horse no longer has to worry about safety.

Jia Qiang arranged Lin Ruhai, and he finally started to fight back.

Facing more than two hundred assassins, he rushed back.

His swordsmanship is only average compared to his spearmanship, but with two thousand kilograms of strength and 56 points of agility, his swordsmanship is no longer important.

He collided with the assassins. How can flesh and blood be compared with steel? In addition, the 'Green Edge Sword' cut all the enemies within a distance into pieces before the two sides collided.

He did not rush into the enemy group. Lin Ruhai on the white horse behind him had no ability to protect himself. He could not let any assassin get close to the white horse.

So he chose to move sideways. His speed gave no assassin a chance to break through his line of defense.

For a moment, blood flowed into a river in the area where he was, and as many as thirty bodies fell.

"Damn it, he's a warrior in the army, forming a formation!" Someone from behind yelled in horror.

Jia Qiang was frightened and formed a formation. This kind of slogan would not appear among the people, but in the army.

The reason why the army is powerful is that it can integrate individual sergeants using battle formations to form a combat power that exceeds the number of people.

Sure enough, as Jia Qiang expected, a hundred assassins in the back row separated from the rest.

They were divided into three layers, with spears at the far end, shields at the near end, and wild goose feather knives at the back, forming a typical defensive formation in the army.

Lin Ruhai also saw the difference between those one hundred people, his expression was as gloomy as water.

He believed in Jia Qiang very much. No matter which army this was, as long as a large number of men were lost today, they would be able to find out afterwards.

"Kill!" Jia Qiang shouted, his speed was at full speed. When the assassins who rushed over found that they were the only ones charging, they had already been killed by the 'Qingfeng Sword'.

In the end, only the hundred-man battle formation remained. They hid in the shields and pointed their spears at Jia Qiang from a distance.

Several assassins who used short crossbows also reloaded their crossbows. Unfortunately, they also knew that the power of the short crossbows could not break through Jia Qiang's armor.

Their eyes turned to the person in the center. The person gritted his teeth and wished he could tear the salt merchant who entrusted this matter into pieces.

Although the salt merchant was only a medium-sized salt merchant, the price offered was too attractive, and they had a good relationship with each other, so they had close contacts in the past.

Therefore, this hundred-year-old man originally thought that it would be easy to kill Lin Ruhai with the help of the people found by the salt merchant, but he never expected that there would be such a master beside Lin Ruhai.

Baihu said in his heart, he naturally understood how terrifying a warrior who had practiced the body-refining technique of generals and wore armor could be.

There is no corresponding hero, so the only way is to use life piles to drain the hero's physical strength.

But the problem is, let alone a hundred people, even if there are ten thousand people here, it is difficult to say whether they can kill a powerful general with their lives.

While Baihu was still thinking, Jia Qiang rushed towards the battle formation.

He paid no attention to the spears piercing his body. The spears could not cause any harm to him.

He didn't even use the 'Qingfeng Sword' in his hand, but raised his foot and gave it a forward kick.

The shield he kicked flew backwards along with the sergeant behind it.

This sergeant knocked down a group of sergeants behind him one after another. Not only did the sergeant die, but the sergeant who fell behind him was also seriously injured.

Jia Qiang whipped her leg again and swept another shield sergeant back.

The military formation set up by hundreds of sergeants was as ridiculous as children playing house in front of him.

With just two kicks, the military formation was completely broken, and a massacre ensued.

"Brothers, run away!" Baihu thought of the canal behind him. They were all sailors, so they might as well jump into the canal to escape.

If fewer of his men die, maybe he can cover it up.

As soon as he spoke, the sergeants who were originally preparing to fight dropped their weapons and ran towards the canal.

This is the edge of the port, only about ten steps away from the canal.

Seeing these assassins running away, Jia Qiang took off his treasured bow, and then his hand seemed to turn into an afterimage, and he shot out arrows one after another.

The arrows shot by the treasure bow do not kill one person at a time. At such a close distance, all the people in a line will be shot through.

When the last person falls, you will find that these people are still three or four steps closest to the canal water.

This is the terrifying thing about a sharp archer who uses a treasure bow. An arrow within the shooting range of his hand can hardly survive.
