Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 136 Sneak Attack
For going on a mission with Zhou Xiaomeng, others were envious and jealous, but Jiangnan frowned secretly.

Because I work with the boss's daughter, I can't fish.

Moreover, Jiang Nan had already used his magical powers on Zhou Xiaomeng, so he wasn't very interested in what happened to Zhou Xiaomeng.

However, Jiangnan couldn't refuse to serve people's bowls.

The task of the two is also to find out where Zhang Sanshun and others are.

After leaving the Escort's temporary residence, Zhou Xiaomeng talked to Jiangnan for the first time, "Hello! What are your plans?"

"Miss Zhou?" Jiang Nan threw the ball back to Zhou Xiaomeng.

"The big boat of the Changhe Gang is going down the river, and I am going to search along the river bank. The big boat can't go fast, and we have been delayed for half a day, and it can sail at most thirty or forty miles. With my lightness skills, I will soon be able to Catch up." Zhou Xiaomeng said confidently.

After finishing speaking, he changed his voice and asked, "How is your qinggong?"

It means don't be too poor in lightness work, and the speed is too slow, which will hinder you.

Jiang Nan didn't take it seriously, and asked instead: "How does Ms. Zhou know that Zhang Sanshun and others won't disembark halfway? Don't let us chase for a long time, but in the end we only caught up with an empty boat."

Zhou Xiaomeng's expression froze, and he said angrily, "Then what do you say?"

"If I'm not mistaken, then Zhang Sanshun is the leader of the Changhe Gang who is in charge of the waters around Fenglingdu?" Jiang Jiang asked.

"So what?" Zhou Xiaomeng was puzzled.

"Let's find his old lair directly." Jiang Jiang explained: "It would be better if we could find the Zhaoye Jade Lion in the old lair. If we can't find it, we will take advantage of his weakness and force him to come to us on his own initiative."

Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes lit up when he heard this.Immediately, he asked in surprise, "What weakness?"

"Of course his family, children, wives and concubines."

"This...isn't that good?" Zhou Xiaomeng looked at Jiangnan with somewhat disdain.

However, he immediately thought that Jiangnan was also working for the Escort, so he couldn't make his own people sad, and added: "The rules of the rivers and lakes don't hurt your family. If we really do this, it is really against the morals of the rivers and lakes."

"Fart! With a group of water bandits who kill people and steal goods, what morals can we talk about?" Jiang Nan asked disdainfully, "Could it be that he is only allowed to seek money and murder, and we are not allowed to seek justice?"

Zhou Xiaomeng's heart skipped a beat.

He felt that although the handsome bodyguard's words were vulgar, there was some truth to them.

Before going down the mountain, the master had taught her to adapt to the situation, and to use special methods for special people.

Moreover, this seems to be the most effective way at present.

"Then, how do we find each other's lair?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked.

"Since they are local water bandits, it is natural to ask the locals. After all, no matter how secretive their actions are, they will always leave traces and fall into the eyes of those who care about them." Jiang Jiang said.

"good."

Zhou Xiaomeng nodded happily.

Abandoning Jiangnan, he ran directly to a boatman who looked like a local by the river, and asked loudly, "Uncle, do you know where the water bandits of the Changhe Gang live nearby?"

The boatman staggered in fright.

Pointing at Zhou Xiaomeng with a trembling finger, he said angrily: "Little girl, don't be so cruel! The Changhe Gang are all heroes, how can there be any water bandits?!"

As he spoke, he looked around nervously.

Zhou Xiaomeng was taken aback for a moment, and then rescued him: "Yes, it's not a water bandit. Do you know that uncle, the Changhe gang... Well, heroes, where do they usually live?"

"I don't know. I really don't know." The boatman shook his head like a rattle: "There are old people and young people on the forehead, so let it go and go fuck other people..."

While talking, he jumped into his own boat as if fleeing, pulled the cable, rowed the boat frantically, and fled to the center of the river.

Zhou Xiaomeng complained to the approaching Jiangnan in astonishment: "The method you said won't work!"

Jiang Nan put his hand on his forehead: "Sister! When I say local people, I mean local power leaders, not these ordinary boatmen."

"The Changhe Gang is tyrannical. Don't say that these ordinary boatmen don't know the stronghold of the Changhe Gang. If they know, who would dare to say it?"

Zhou Xiaomeng's pretty face flushed slightly, and complained: "Then you didn't say it earlier, you hurt me..."

Zhou Xiaomeng didn't say the word "make a fool of himself".

Zhou Nvxia, who is going to be strong all her life, obviously feels that as long as she doesn't say it, she won't really "make a fool of herself".

Seeing that Jiang Nan didn't reply, Zhou Xiaomeng thought it was his complaint that made Jiang Nan angry.

He took the initiative to ask: "Then which force should we find?"

"No. We'll just follow that boat." Jiang Nan pointed to the boat that had rowed to the middle of the river.

Zhou Xiaomeng was taken aback again: "Why? Isn't he afraid to say it?"

"He really didn't dare to say it, but he will lead the way." Jiang Nan smiled slightly.

"Ok?"

Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes widened in confusion.

Jiang Nan accidentally discovered that she was a little cute.

"You asked about the location of the Changhe Gang just now, which is already a warning. Although the boatman is not a member of the Changhe Gang, he has always lived under the shadow of the Changhe Gang. In order not to be misunderstood by the Changhe Gang and to prove his innocence, he will definitely go to Report to someone from the Changhe Gang." Jiang Nan explained.

Zhou Xiaomeng reacted immediately.

The two hired another black-covered boat nearby, and followed the boatman's boat far away.

The boat sailed for about ten miles and docked under a big willow tree on the bank.

The two people in Jiangnan pulled the wupeng boat aside, went ashore and followed.

Sure enough, some fresh horseshoe marks were found on the shore.

The boatman walked seven or eight hundred meters on the shore when two big men suddenly appeared from among the reeds and held their necks with knives.

Trembling all over, the boatman explained intermittently for a long time before he was led by one of the big men into a courtyard with high walls not far away.

The two people in Jiangnan understood that it was probably the stronghold of water bandits near the Yellow River Gang.

Zhou Xiaomeng was so excited that he couldn't help but look at Jiangnan a few more times.

This garden is extremely secretive.

Today, if it wasn't for this bodyguard named Li Qingshan, I don't know how much effort I would have spent to find this place.

"What should we do now? Should we touch it directly or?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked Jiangnan subconsciously.

Unknowingly, Zhou Xiaomeng has regarded Jiangnan as the leader of the two-person team.

Jiangnan Fuer said something in Zhou Xiaomeng's ear.

Zhou Xiaomeng glared at Jiangnan, and said angrily, "I am a disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect, and you asked me to do this?"

Jiang Nan was not afraid at all, and asked back: "Then the woman Xia Zhou has a way to take down the person hiding in the dark without disturbing the people in the courtyard?"

Zhou Xiaomeng looked embarrassed and did not answer.

The rest of the Changhe gang was hidden among the reeds, and there was only one small road around.

It is obviously impossible to touch it quietly.

From a small road, you can see it from a distance.

From the reed, one must touch the reed and make a sound.

As long as he shouted and shouted, the other water bandits in the courtyard would definitely be alarmed.

He hesitated for a while.

Zhou Xiaomeng gritted her teeth fiercely, handed the long sword to Jiangnan, took off her outer shirt, leaving only the white inner lining, and took off the hair ribbon to mess up her hair.

Then, pretending to be in a panic, he ran to the hiding place of the big man.

After running a few steps, he seemed to be tripped by something on the ground, "Ouch", exclaimed delicately, and fell to the ground.

The big man hidden among the reeds suddenly couldn't bear it when he saw a weak woman with disheveled clothes and I felt sorry for him, and approached Zhou Xiaomeng cautiously with a long knife.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

The big man stopped two feet away from Zhou Xiaomeng, staring straight at the disheveled Zhou Xiaomeng and asked.

The closer he got, the more the big man was shocked by the beauty of this woman.

When Zhou Xiaomeng looked up pitifully with blushing cheeks, the burly man's lips fell off.

"Nujia, I was chased by a vicious dog and sprained my ankle." Zhou Xiaomeng sat on the ground, covering her chest with one hand and holding her ankle with the other, infinitely shy.

"Hey. I know how to set bones, do you want my help?" the big man rubbed his hands and said.

"Then I will trouble you, brother." Zhou Xiaomeng lowered his head, his voice was like a mosquito.

The big man was overjoyed, and ran to Zhou Xiaomeng quickly, squatted down impatiently, put the long knife on the ground, and was about to reach out to touch Zhou Xiaomeng's ankle.

Zhou Xiaomeng's palm, which was covering his chest, suddenly stretched out and grabbed the big man's throat.

The big man sensed something was wrong, and was about to wave his hands indiscriminately to fight back, when Zhou Xiaomeng clasped his throat with force.

There was a soft "click".

The big man's larynx had been crushed.

The big man didn't dare to move any more.

Zhou Xiaomeng pinched the big man's throat, dragged him to the side of the reeds, and said coldly, "I ask, you answer. If there is a lie, I will make your head fall."

The big man turned pale and nodded hurriedly.

"Is this Zhang Sanshun's den of thieves?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked in a deep voice.

The big man nodded.

"That Zhang Sanshun, is it here?"

The big man shook his head.

"Huh?" Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes widened, and the claws pinching the big man's throat tightened.

The big man was taken aback, and nodded quickly.

"Is it here or not?"

Zhou Xiaomeng said angrily.

The big man quickly shook his head again, rolling his eyes.

"You can't talk?" Zhou Xiaomeng was furious, and the claws pinching the big man's throat became more and more forceful.

"You squeeze him too tightly, he can't speak. You loosen up a little." Jiang Nan had to show up to remind him.

Zhou Xiaomeng's cheeks flushed again.

He took his long sword from Jiangnan and put it on the big man's neck, then let go of the palm that was pinching the big man's throat.

"Quickly, is that Zhang Sanshun here?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked coldly.

"Our boss is not here. He left half an hour ago." The big man replied quickly with a pale face and lingering fear.

In the few blows just now, the little girl in front of her was almost suffocated.

"Gone? You didn't lie to me?" Zhou Xiaomeng's expression changed.

"No. No. It's gone." The big man glanced at the long sword on his neck with bitter eyebrows: "How dare you lie to the heroine!"

"Did Boss Zhang take the white horse that you snatched away?" Jiang Nan interjected and asked.

"White horse? That's not true." The big man replied: "The white horse is still in the yard. Only our boss left by himself, saying he was going to meet some buyer."

The Jiangnan two were overjoyed when they heard the words.

As soon as Zhou Xiaomeng moved his long sword, it was about to end. The big man went to the courtyard to grab the horse.

Jiang Nan quickly grabbed his arm.

That's it.

The big man's neck had already been cut with a line of blood by the long sword.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked Jiangnan dissatisfied.

Jiang Nan didn't answer, but turned to the big man and asked: "How many people are there in the courtyard here, and what strength are they?"

The big man just turned around from the gate of hell, knowing that today is destined to be a bad day, so he simply slapped his neck, closed his eyes, and ignored Jiangnan's question.

Zhou Xiaomeng touched his nose in embarrassment.

Knowing that I was too impulsive, I forgot to ask such an important question.

Now, this big man knows that he must die, so he probably won't be able to ask.

Zhou Xiaomeng regretted it, and was about to comfort Jiangnan. Anyway, Zhang Sanshun, the leader of the bandit, had already left, and no matter how many minions there were in the courtyard, it was nothing to be afraid of.

Jiang Nan had already drawn out his long sword and put it between the big man's legs, and said solemnly:
"That's right. You are sure to die. However, there are two ways to die. One is to die quickly, and lose consciousness with a light stroke of the sword. The other is to draw dozens or hundreds of wounds on the body, Throw it into the long river and let the fish and shrimp eat it up..."

"Which way of death do you choose?"

As Jiang Nan said, the long sword had already made a long cut in the big man's thigh.

The big man was shocked.

Hastily begged: "I'll say it. I'll say it. I just ask the hero to give me a good time later."

"That depends on your performance." Jiang Nan said indifferently.

"In the courtyard, apart from the two Qihai masters who left with Boss Zhang, there are 24 other people. Among them, there are two Qihai masters of the sixth rank, four of the Qihai Tongmai of the seventh rank, seven of the internal breath of the eighth rank, and body forging of the ninth rank. Nine people." The big man said like pouring beans.

"There are two more?" Jiang Nan asked.

"There are two more, one is a cook, the other is a useless cripple."

"Useless cripple?"

"Well. That person is said to be a distant relative of Boss Zhang. He stays in the gang and has never been on a mission. In fact, he relies on Boss Zhang's relationship to earn a living."

"Oh."

Jiang Nan nodded to Zhou Xiaomeng.

With a movement of the long sword in Zhou Xiaomeng's hand, the big man's throat was cut open.

Feeling relieved, the big man fell on his back.

Jiang Nan stretched out his hand to help gently.

The big man fell to the ground without making much movement.

"What should we do now?" Jiang Nan asked Zhou Xiaomeng.

"I'll stay here, you go back and report to my father, let him bring someone here immediately."

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. If this person hasn't returned for a long time, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the water bandits in the courtyard." Jiang Nan shook his head.

"Then what do you say?"

"Can Ms. Zhou be sure to deal with those two masters of Qi Sea?" Jiang Nan asked.

"No problem." Zhou Xiaomeng replied confidently.

"As long as Ms. Zhou can hold back those two sea-of-qi masters, I will have a way to deal with the rest."

"Huh? What can you do?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked in amazement, "You are only at the seventh-rank Meridian Tong realm. Besides the four Tongmai Tongmen, they also have more than a dozen other warriors."

Jiangnan reached out and took out a medicine bag from his arms, explaining:
"I got a pack of medicinal powder by chance, as long as it is sprinkled in the air and people can smell it, it can make the warriors of the third rank weak and limp."

"Is it only effective for warriors of the lower third rank?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked.

"Not bad." Jiang Nan nodded.

In fact, there is still a little fairy in Jiangnan.However, there are not many of these things left in Jiangnan, so naturally they won't be easily wasted on these little guys.

Moreover, if he behaved too powerfully, he would be suspected and feared by Zhou's father and daughter.

As a subordinate, you must show your best efforts without showing the ability to threaten your boss. This is the long-term way.

Although Zhou Xiaomeng was a little disappointed, she still gritted her teeth: "Okay! It's up to you!"

"If you can successfully recapture the Zhaoye Jade Lion, I will ask my father to double your reward again, no, ten times!"

"Then thank you Miss Zhou!" Jiang Nan smiled appropriately.

Without the sentinel hiding in the reeds, the two quietly reached the side of the courtyard.

Climbing up to the roof, he saw a tall, pure white horse tied to the courtyard.

It was undoubtedly the Zhaoye Yushi who was robbed by the Escort.

Around the Zhaoye Jade Lion, there are four men with weapons guarding it.The other water bandits were scattered throughout the courtyard.

"I'll go down to attract attention, and you scatter the powder from the air." Zhou Xiaomeng put her lips next to Jiangnan's ear and said softly.

Jiang Nan nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Xiaomeng jumped off the roof.

Before he landed, he stabbed a man guarding the white horse to death.

"careful!"

"Enemy attack—"

The entire courtyard suddenly became chaotic.

After Zhou Xiaomeng stabbed to death two more men guarding the white horse, he was surrounded by more than a dozen water bandits from the Changhe Gang.

The two leaders were extremely fierce and blocked Zhou Xiaomeng's long sword from the front.

While fighting, Zhou Xiaomeng quietly lured the water bandits to the hidden location in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan also lived up to expectations.

A big bag of medicinal powder was scattered from a height.Most of the water bandits were covered by the powder.

"poisonous!"

"Be careful……"

The water bandits exclaimed.

With this opening of the mouth, more powder was sucked into the mouth.

"The thief is on the roof!"

Someone yelled at Jiangnan on the roof, wanting to jump onto the wall and take down this despicable villain who spread poison powder first.

It was only after this jump that I realized that my whole body was sore and weak.

"Ding dong..."

The weaker water bandits couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands.

Zhou Xiaomeng seized the opportunity and stabbed to death several water bandits who were not covered by the powder.

Soon, only the two Sea of ​​Qi masters could stand in the courtyard.

Zhou Xiaomeng looked excited, and unreservedly displayed "Thirteen Swords of Strange Peaks".

The two air and sea bandits who were already affected by the medicine powder immediately retreated steadily, and the danger was everywhere.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Jiang Nan was about to jump off the roof.

A warning sign suddenly rose in my heart.

Without even thinking about it, the snake-moving raccoon turning over method in "Nine Profound Scriptures" was cast in an instant, and after a few rolls, it had already rolled from one side of the roof to the other.

"Pass--"

The place where Jiangnan was standing on the roof was pierced with a huge hole the size of a bucket by a huge force.

A dark crutch sticks out from the hole.

Under the hole, the one holding the crutch was a cripple with no good looks.
