Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 135
"It really is the legendary Zhaoye Jade Lion!"

Zhang Sanshun's eyes lit up and he muttered to himself.

Zhou Yunlong's expression changed dramatically.

He knew in his heart that it must be Yao Qing from the Big Sword Gang who passed the news to this person.

You know, this horse put a lot of effort into camouflage, and no one else in the escort agency knew about it except Zhou Yunlong and his daughter.

Only yesterday outside Chang'an City, I had no choice but to tell Yao Qing of the Big Sword Gang.

Zhou Yunlong originally thought that due to the dual relationship between the Murong family and the Huashan Sword Sect, and the fact that the Chollima was not what the Dao Gang was looking for, even if he told Yao Qing, Yao Qing would not dare to do it.

Who knows.

Then Yao Qing really didn't do anything at the moment.

But he told the news to Zhang Sanshun of the Changhe Gang.

Regardless of whether Yao Qing is cooperating with the Changhe Gang or simply selling news, things are beyond Zhou Yunlong's control.

The Changhe Gang is a giant gang that runs across thousands of miles of rivers, with no fewer than [-] disciples. It is definitely not something that a small Liuyun Escort can compete with.

Especially in recent years, the Changhe Gang has developed rapidly, gained popularity, and acted more and more domineeringly. Zhou Yunlong is really not sure whether the reputation of the Murong family and the Huashan Sword Sect can make the other side retreat.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a thousand-mile horse like the Zhaoye Jade Lion is rare in a hundred years.

Whether it is used as a gift for a big person or used for personal use to show one's status, its value cannot be measured by ordinary gold and silver.

However, the matter has come to this point, the Zhaoye Jade Lion hidden among the horses has been exposed, Zhou Yunlong can only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and bite the bullet: "Yes, this horse is exactly the Zhaoye Jade Lion. However, Its owner is Murong Piaoxue, the second lady of the Jiangnan Murong family, one of the eight great martial arts families."

"The Escort Bureau was honored to be entrusted by the employer to escort this good horse for Miss Murong Er. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they specially made a disguise."

As Zhou Yunlong said, he also pointed to Zhou Xiaomeng who was holding a sword beside him: "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce, this is the little girl Xiaomeng, who is a disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect. Xiaomeng usually only knows how to practice swords under the elder's sect. This time I happened to go down the mountain, and I learned a lot from walking darts with Zhou."

As Zhou Yunlong expected, Zhang Sanshun's expression froze when he learned Zhou Xiaomeng's identity as a disciple of Huashan Mountain.

Zhou Yunlong struck while the iron was hot:
"Boss Zhang is a horse lover. He doesn't know the identity of his employer, so he misunderstood the slander. This is also understandable."

"Of course, we can't let Boss Zhang take this trip in vain. In this way, except for Miss Murong's Zhaoye Jade Lion, the other six BMWs will be given to Boss Zhang at the discretion of Zhou, how about it?"

Zhou Yunlong's words were painstaking.

First he pulled out the banners of Murong Family and Huashan Sword Sect, and then used six ordinary BMWs to stop Zhang Sanshun's mouth.

If Zhang Sanshun acts forcefully again, he will not give face to these two major forces, and he will be at the wrong side.

"Haha, so it belongs to the second lady of the Murong family! Haha..." Boss Zhou said haha.

Immediately afterwards, the topic changed:
"A certain family is in the Changhe Gang. Although they are only unknown, they have always admired the Murong family."

"Boss Zhou, why don't we have a discussion, how about sending this thousand-mile horse to Jiangnan Road for you?"

"Don't worry, it's your Escort's reward, and a certain one doesn't want a cent."

"A certain family simply worships the Murong family and wants to contribute to the Murong family."

"Besides, it's more than 2000 miles to the south of the Yangtze River, and the head of the bodyguard Zhou has only traveled less than one-tenth of the distance, and he almost let Liangju fall into the river. A certain family is really worried about the strength of the expensive bodyguard."

Zhang Sanshun pointed to the panicked horse, which was half submerged in the water, and said solemnly.

Zhou Yunlong's face was ugly and he didn't answer.

This San Shun obviously wants to treat himself as a fool!
What to help deliver?If this horse got into the hands of the water bandits of the Changhe gang, even if it was finally delivered to the second lady of the Murong family, it would be given by the Changhe gang, and it has nothing to do with Liuyun Escort.

In the end, Liuyun Escort still had to compensate for the loss of the dart!

That is the Zhaoye Jade Lion!Even if the entire Liuyun Escort was sold, it would not be enough to pay.

On the opposite side, Zhang Sanshun continued to add fuel to the fire:
"Boss Chief Zhou, you probably don't know how to swim, right? Look, this ferry is about to sink."

"It doesn't matter if your father and daughter are dead, Chief Escort Zhou, but you must not kill this one-in-a-kind Maxima because of you, Chief Escort Zhou, and miss the important event of the Murong family."

"At that time, not only will the horse be gone, but the reputation that the Liuyun Escort Bureau has accumulated over the years will also be ruined.

"What does Chief Security Chief Zhou think?"

Zhang Sanshun smiled sinisterly, as if Zhou Yunlong was definitely convinced.

At this time, most of the ferry boat that Zhou Yunlong and the horses were on had sunk.

Indeed, as Zhang Sanshun said, even if Zhang Sanshun didn't take action, Zhou Yunlong and his daughter would have a hard time saving Zhaoyeyushi, a big horse weighing hundreds of catties, ashore even if they could escape without a boat.

It is definitely the end of the darts.

Of course, Zhang Sanshun, who came here specially for the Zhaoye Jade Lion, would definitely not watch it being drowned or washed away by the river.

Zhang Sanshun doesn't need to do anything now, he just needs to wait until the ferry completely sinks and Zhou Yunlong and his daughter are too busy to take care of themselves, and directly rescue the Zhaoye Jade Lion on board.

In the future, even if the Murong family came to the door, they would have an excuse to say that the horse was rescued from the river, not robbed.

Although the power and martial arts in Jianghu are relatively high or low, they don't all rely on fighting and killing.

In many cases, people in the rivers and lakes must first follow the rules.

The so-called gain more help means that if you have the truth, you can be confident, and you can get the most alliances at the least cost.

In terms of strength alone, the Changhe Gang is not afraid of the Murong family.

If the "reason" is again occupied, even if the Murong family knows they are at a disadvantage, there is nothing they can do.

Zhang Sanshun, who specialized in this side business on the Changhe River, obviously played this trick very well.

Zhou Yunlong was naturally not stupid, he saw the doorway here clearly, and his face turned blue with anger.

If it is on land, with the huge team of the Escort, they are not afraid of the few people from the Changhe Gang on the opposite side.

pity.

No if.

Gang Qi warriors are still unable to walk on water.

Zhou Yunlong and his daughter, who have no boats and sailors and can't swim, can't even protect themselves in the wide and turbid river.

"Ah! Zhou admits it!" Zhou Yunlong let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said, "I also ask Boss Zhang to let the boat come over and rescue my father and daughter ashore."

"Hahaha..." Zhang Sanshun let out a long laugh, and said loudly: "The so-called one who knows the current affairs is a hero. The head of the bodyguard Zhou also had bad luck this time. He took a broken ship that was in disrepair for a long time, which caused the accident of Zhao Yeyu Lion. Falling into the water. It was a natural disaster, not the negligence of the head of the bodyguard. I believe that with the demeanor of the Murong family, you will not be held accountable by the Liuyun Bodyguard Bureau. Haha..."

A cold light flashed in Zhou Yunlong's eyes.

It's already been decided, first bear the burden of humiliation, and after boarding the boat later, then desperately take down Zhang Sanshun, the leader of the thief, and look for a chance to turn things around.

"Then I will borrow your good words from Boss Zhang!" Zhou Yunlong pretended to flatter.

Zhang Sanshun's big boat soon approached the ferry that was about to sink completely.

A large net was cast down from the big boat, and precisely covered the Zhaoye Jade Lion with less than a third of its body on the water.

Several masters of the Changhe gang pulled the net rope with all their strength, and put the horse on the boat.

"Take it easy! You motherfuckers, take it easy! This is the legendary Chollima Zhaoye Jade Lion, worth 10 taels of silver, more expensive than ten oirans in Zhongfang Pavilion! Knock off a little hair and sell you all!" I can't even afford it... You fucking mother, don't pull Mao Mao, you have to hold it with your hands, um, you can hug it gently like a woman..."

Zhang Sanshun nervously yelled at the side to give instructions.

Zhou Yunlong's father and daughter, who only had a place to stand, saw their teeth itching, but they had no choice but to pretend to turn a blind eye.

After a lot of difficulty, the Daizhaoye Jade Lion was taken onto the big boat intact by the members of the Changhe Gang.On the ferry, the other six horses were already submerged up to their noses. In panic, they fell into the water in a panic and were gradually washed away by the river.

Zhang Sanshun, a horse lover on the big boat, turned a blind eye to the six BMWs that fell into the water.

He just stared at the Zhaoye Jade Lion on the big boat, whose fur dye had been completely washed away by the water.

The sound of "tsk tut" continued.

"Boss Zhang, look, can our father and daughter get on the boat?" Zhou Yunlong, whose shoes and socks had been soaked by the river, had to remind him aloud.

Zhang Sanshun glanced arrogantly at Zhou Yunlong's father and daughter who were in a state of embarrassment, and said with a strange smile: "Yo——I'm sorry, a certain family only cared about the horses and forgot the two of you."

As he said that, he turned his head and ordered to one of his subordinates: "Old Yang, go, throw that life-saving ship plank over to Mr. Zhou's escort."

The subordinate named Lao Yang took the order.

He picked up a five-foot-square broken plank from the corner of the big boat, stood on the side of the boat, and threw it at Zhou Yunlong and his daughter with all his might.

"Snapped--"

The broken board fell in front of Zhou Yunlong and his daughter, splashing a large amount of water.

Zhou Yunlong and his daughter stood at the last foothold of the ferry, unable to dodge, and were splashed all over by the water.

The Changhe Gang on the big boat laughed out loud.

The old staff of the escort agencies on the other two ferries shouted angrily, but there was nothing they could do.Without a boatman to steer, they could just watch.

"I'm sorry, there are extra horses on board, and there is no room to spare. I can only wrong Mr. Zhou and your father and daughter, lying on the life-saving ship board." Zhang Sanshun said strangely.

There was no chance for Zhou Yunlong to board the boat to find opportunities at all.

Zhou Xiaomeng glared.

Anger also flashed across Zhou Yunlong's face.However, immediately, with a thrust of the long sword, it pierced through the broken plank that was about to be washed away by the river, and pulled the plank to his feet.

To Zhou Xiaomeng: "Xiaomeng, you go up."

But he thought that his daughter was a young woman after all, if she didn't use this plank, she would fall into the water later, her clothes would be soaked, and she would be seen by so many big men... the consequences would be disastrous.

Had no choice but to ask for perfection again.

"Father, what about you?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked.

"It's okay. As a father, you only need to hold on to the corner of the boat and borrow a little strength to swim to the shore." Zhou Yunlong pretended to be indifferent.

"Chief Escort, why is this so?"

On the ferry in the distance, there was a sudden shout.

Zhou Yunlong followed the prestige and saw that the new bodyguard named Li Qingshan cut off a huge ship board with a square of one zhang with his sword.He raised his hand and threw the board into the river.

Then, he picked up another oar and jumped onto the board.

Swinging the oar left and right, after a few strokes, the huge plank was near Zhou Yunlong's father and daughter.

"Come on, Chief Escort."

Jiang Nan said softly.

This ship plank is huge, and it can carry three people without any problem.

Joy flashed across Zhou Yunlong's eyes, he exchanged a glance with Zhou Xiaomeng, and jumped onto the boat boards at the foot of Jiangnan one after another.

The board of the boat sank slightly, but it did not sink into the water.

Jiang Nan waved the oar in his hand, and soon arrived at the intact ferry.

The three of them were all masters of martial arts, and jumped onto the ferry directly.

Although there is no boatman on the ferry, it will not be able to dock for a short time, but it will not sink.

On the opposite side, Zhang Sanshun, who was on the big boat of the Changhe Gang, looked gloomy at this sudden change, but didn't say anything else.Instead, he ordered directly to sail away.

This week Yunlong is a master of stellar qi like him.If it is in the water, it is natural to let him handle it, but it will not be so easy to deal with on the ferry.

The Zhaoye Jade Lion has already been obtained, so there is no need to continue to make extra troubles.

Watching the big boat of the Changhe Gang go away.

Zhou Yunlong cupped his hands and thanked Jiangnan: "Thank you, Brother Li!"

"The Chief Escort is serious. I'm ashamed to say that I just came up with such a method after being inspired by the plank thrown by the bandit leader. Otherwise, the Chief Escort should have been brought ashore long before the ferry sank." Jiang Nan replied with shame.

"You can think of it, it's pretty good." Zhou Yunlong patted Jiang Nan on the shoulder, and changed his voice: "Looking at the way you steer the oars, could it be that you know how to steer a boat?"

"Watching the boatman row the boat, take a few more glances and learn a little bit." Jiang Nan scratched his scalp.

Zhou Yunlong was slightly disappointed, but he still couldn't help asking: "Is there a way to make this ferry dock as soon as possible?"

This is a calm bay for crossing the river, the current is gentle, relying on the momentum of the river alone, it is unknown how long it will take for the ferry to dock along the current.

"You can try." Jiang Nan replied.

"Okay. I'll let everyone on board obey your command."

Under Jiang Nan's command, the bodyguards picked up the oars, and Jiang Nan steered the rudder. After about a stick of incense, the ferry finally landed successfully.

After reaching the shore, Zhou Yunlong immediately contacted the boatman on the shore, drove a small boat to the middle of the river, and picked up another ferry boat.

During this process, Zhou Yunlong's father and daughter got together with two masters of the Iron Palm Gang, and they discussed something.

When all the bodyguards gathered, Zhou Yunlong said: "Everyone has witnessed the matter with their own eyes. Yes, the real bodyguard that our bodyguards are going to escort this time is that rare Zhaoye Jade Lion."

"Now, the bodyguard has been robbed by members of the Changhe Gang. If we don't care about it, our Liuyun Bodyguard Bureau will probably be disbanded. Naturally, Zhou does not want to let years of hard work be ruined. Therefore, he decided to look for an opportunity to get the horse back. .”

As soon as Zhou Yunlong finished speaking, the guards below immediately whispered.

Someone even said directly with an ugly face: "Chief Escort, that's the Changhe Gang! With our little manpower..."

The meaning of the words is self-evident.

Zhou Yunlong was not surprised either.

Pressing both hands, after everyone calmed down, he continued: "Yes, the Changhe Gang is indeed powerful. With our little manpower, we are definitely not the opponents of the Changhe Gang."

"However, I have nine levels of certainty. The high-level members of the Changhe Gang did not know about this incident. It was Zhang Sanshun who did it privately. Therefore, what we need to face is not the entire Changhe Gang, but only Zhang Sanshun and his gang. "

"Besides, I'm not going to fight recklessly. I just want to ask everyone to disguise themselves and go to find out the news."

"Find out where Zhang Sanshun hid the horse, and then, let's take it back quietly."

"Many of the people here are old people from my Liuyun Escort. The Liuyun Escort is able to exist today because of everyone's hard work and dedication. I think everyone definitely doesn't want our Escort to be disbanded, right?"

"I promise, as long as I successfully recapture the Zhaoye Jade Lion, all the rewards for this dart will be doubled!"

Many bodyguards were moved when they heard the words.

"Chief Escort, what if, I mean what if, what if someone from Chang He helps to intervene?" Someone suddenly asked.

Everyone understood what this man meant.

Knowing that he was asking, if things were not as Zhou Yunlong said, it was Zhang Sanshun's private action, but the idea of ​​the Changhe Gang's senior management.At that time, even if they take back the Zhaoye Jade Lion by surprise, they will inevitably face the pursuit of other masters of the Changhe Gang.

With their hands, they will definitely not be able to carry it.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Don't worry, everyone, this Zhaoye jade lion belongs to the Murong family. The Murong family will definitely not sit back and let the people of the Changhe Gang snatch the Chollima. Later, I will have someone send a letter to the Murong family, asking for support."

"In addition, my daughter is the disciple of the elder of the Huashan Sword Sect. Later, I will also ask my daughter to write a letter to her master, asking her master to come down the mountain to help."

"This place is not far from the Huashan Sword Sect. I believe that within two days at most, the masters of the Huashan Sword Sect will arrive..."

After Zhou Yunlong's encouragement, the bodyguards finally agreed.

Then, it is to assign tasks, send letters, and listen to news.

Perhaps because of his performance just now, Jiang Nan was assigned to be in the same group as Zhou Xiaomeng.

All the bodyguards looked at Jiangnan with unabashed envy and jealousy.

This is the daughter of the Chief Escort, and a disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect.

If you go out on a mission alone, you come and go, sparks are sparked... Tsk tsk!For the rest of my life, I don't have to work hard to eat wind and drink dew...

Especially Zhou Xiaomeng's appearance, according to Zhao Wu's private words to Jiangnan last night, is simply more handsome than the two wandering warblers he spent 100 taels of silver in Zhongfang Pavilion combined!
If you can eat Zhou Xiaomeng's soft meal, wouldn't it be equivalent to earning 100 taels every night...
