Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 145 Exposure
In the end, Zhou Xiaomeng still rejected Jiangnan's "dividing the spoils".

As a young heroine from a decent family, she has not yet developed such a habit as a fledgling.

Jiang Nan didn't force it, anyway, he was just being polite.

Since Zhou Xiaomeng was polite, Jiang Nan was not.

It was relatively simple to deal with Ma Wuye's body.After destroying the tooth marks of the Golden Winged Flying Snake, cut the throat again, without even burying it.

This kind of villain who is looking for a way out has an ordinary background, and few people will care about his life or death.

After repeated tossing, the sky was already dark.

The two got on their horses together and galloped southwards in the direction Zhou Yunlong left.

After traveling for about ten miles, a gray knight suddenly came to meet him.

The gray-clothed knight was also riding a black horse, with a tall physique and a very handsome appearance. In the blink of an eye, it passed by the two of them and galloped away.

Zhou Xiaomeng's expression changed suddenly, and he exclaimed in shock, "That's my daddy's horse!"

Jiang Nan also realized that the black horse that the knight in gray was riding was the dyed Zhaoye Jade Lion that Zhou Yunlong rode away? !

The Zhaoye Jade Lion fell into the hands of this gray knight, wouldn't Zhou Yunlong...

"stop!"

Zhou Xiaomeng turned his horse's head and shouted loudly.

just.

In just the blink of an eye, the Zhaoye Jade Lion has already run twenty feet away.

I don't know if it was too far away, the gray knight didn't hear Zhou Xiaomeng's call, or he heard it and ignored it on purpose.

Zhou Xiaomeng patted the horse's neck vigorously, and hurriedly chased after it.

Jiangnan followed suit.

It's a pity that the horses under the two people's seats are completely incomparable with the Zhaoye Jade Lion.In just a few breaths, the gray knight was gone.

It was a matter of his father's life and death, so Zhou Xiaomeng was naturally unwilling to give up like this.

He kept patting the horse's neck with the scabbard, and chased wildly.

Soon, the two had arrived at the previous market.

As night fell, there were few people in the market, and only a few roadside stalls and restaurants hung up lanterns.

Zhou Xiaomeng caught a glimpse of the Zhaoye jade lion tied next to a wonton stand.

And the gray knight was munching on wontons at the small table of the wonton stand.

"What a thief! What did you do to my father?"

Zhou Xiaomeng got off his horse, raised his sword and stabbed at the gray knight without saying a word.

The knight in gray didn't move, and with one movement of the chopsticks in his hand, he pinched the long sword stabbed by Zhou Xiaomeng.

"Cha-"

The moment the chopsticks clamped the sword, it was cut off by the sharp long sword.

The gray knight's face changed slightly, and he leaned back, dodging the sword blade that was still cutting towards him after the chopsticks were cut off.

Obviously.

The sharpness of Zhou Xiaomeng's sword moves exceeded the expectations of the gray knight.

Coercion failed.

"Say, where did your horse come from? What did you do to my father?"

Zhou Xiaomeng pointed at the slightly embarrassed gray knight and asked eagerly.

"Who is your father?" The gray knight stood up and asked.

He shook his head, revealing his face covered by the long hair that slid to his forehead.

This is a man about 30 years old, who looks a little worse than Jiangnan.

"My father is the owner of this horse." Zhou Xiaomeng pointed at the Zhaoye Jade Lion beside him and gritted his teeth, "Before, my father rode on this horse. Now that the horse is in your hands, where is my father? Was it you who killed me?"

"Ha! It turns out that this horse belongs to your father." The man was stunned: "I said, how could there be such a fine horse in the wilderness, it turned out to be the owner of it!"

"Miss, don't get me wrong. When I was passing through a bamboo forest thirty miles away, I suddenly saw this lonely horse."

"I shouted a few times, but no one answered, so I took the liberty to ride over."

When the man spoke, he was very polite.

Although Zhou Xiaomeng still maintained his attire as a scholar, he didn't deliberately hide his voice. The man could tell his gender when he heard it.

For convenience, it is not uncommon for women to disguise themselves as men in the arena.

The man is not surprised either.

"Huh? You mean, when you saw the horse, there was no one there?" Zhou Xiaomeng's expression changed slightly, he was skeptical.

"That's right." The man nodded: "The girl is worried about your father's safety, but I want to accompany you to the bamboo forest where you found the horse?"

Zhou Xiaomeng turned to look at Jiangnan.

Seeing Jiang Nan nodding, he nodded and said, "Okay. Then I'll have to work!"

"My name is Zhou Xiaomeng, and I am a disciple of Huashan Sword Sect."

"He is Li Qingshan."

"What is your name?"

Through the temptation just now, Zhou Xiaomeng knew that this man's martial arts were not weaker than his own.

Most of them are masters in the realm of fifth-grade stellar qi.

A fifth-grade Stellar Qi around the age of 30 is already remarkable.Even in a first-class force like the Huashan Sword Sect, they can be regarded as elites.So take the initiative to report your identity and ask the man's identity.

"Oh? It turns out that he is a master of the Huashan Sword Sect. No wonder his swordsmanship is so good."

The man put down the severed chopsticks in his hand, cupped his fists in salute: "I'm helping Jiang Fan in Xiahan River."

"Oh. It turned out to be Jiang Shao, one of the four heroes of the Dajiang League." Zhou Xiaomeng returned the gift with his hand.

Obviously, he was a little surprised by Jiang Fan's identity.

Although Jiangnan had never heard of Jiang Fan's name, he still knew about the huge power of the Dajiang League.

Like the rise of the Changhe Gang, the establishment of the Dajiang League took less than ten years.Members are mainly water gangs of Dajiang and its tributaries.

As the No. [-] river in the world, the Dajiang River has a well-developed water system and numerous tributaries, and its water area covers about a quarter of its entire circumference.There are countless gang forces on the water to make a living.There are many who have helped thousands of people.

It wasn't until more than ten years ago that the Changhe Gang suddenly rose up and dominated the Changhe, and began to encroach on the surrounding waters.

In order to fight against the Changhe Gang, many gangs on Dajiang and its tributaries formed an alliance of common advance and retreat under the connection of people with aspirations, which is the Dajiang League.

In terms of comprehensive strength, the Dajiang League, which is composed of many gangs, is naturally superior.

However, this type of alliance also has its own weaknesses, unlike the Changhe Gang, a single force with unified command and strict orders.

Because the territory is too large and too many forces are involved, since the establishment of the Dajiang League, there have been constant intrigues.Even the position of leader is rotated back and forth among the strongest gangs.

The Han River is an important tributary of the Great River.

The Hanshui gang above it is also one of the strongest gangs in the Dajiang League.

Jiang Fan, the young leader of the Hanshui Gang, was able to become one of the "Four Heroes of the Great River League". Apart from his own strength and talent, obviously, his status also played a big role.

Different from the rampant and domineering of the Changhe Gang, the overall reputation of the Dajiang League is relatively better.

Zhou Xiaomeng didn't particularly reject Jiang Fan.

"Since the horse is owned by the girl's father, it will be returned to the girl."

Jiang Fan was also very knowledgeable. Before leaving, he directly sent the Zhaoye Jade Lion painted black to Zhou Xiaomeng.

In Jiang Fan's mind, this black horse, which was dyed for some reason, was not precious enough to offend the Huashan Sword Sect, even though it was exceptionally handsome.

In terms of comprehensive strength, the Dajiang League really doesn't have to be afraid of the Huashan Sword Sect.

But that is for the entire Dajiang League, not the Hanshui Gang under the Dajiang League.

The Hanshui Gang alone is a scum in front of the Huashan Sword Sect.

As the young leader of the Hanshui Gang, Jiang Fan knew very well who he could offend and who he should befriend.

Zhou Xiaomeng was still deliberating on how to get the Zhaoye Jade Lion back. Seeing Jiang Fan being so upbeat, he felt relieved, and naturally he was not polite.

He got on his horse and gave up the white horse he was riding to Jiang Fan.

Three riders and three riders rushed to the bamboo forest that Jiang Fan mentioned.

Jiang Fan rode a white horse and led the way first.

In the darkness of night, the shadows in white are indistinct.

About half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the bamboo forest.

Jiang Fan reined in his horse and was about to prove the exact place where he picked up the Zhaoye Jade Lion, when a large net suddenly came down from between the bamboo branches above his head.

Jiang Fan was caught off guard, and even the man and horse were caught in the net.

"Haha... I caught the Zhaoye Jade Lion!"

Someone laughed happily.

More than a dozen masked men in black rushed out from around the bamboo forest.

"Zhaoye Jade Lion?"

Jiang Fan, who was caged in the net with the white horse, looked bewildered.

Zhou Xiaomeng's expression changed slightly as he was riding the Zhenzhaoye Jade Lion, knowing that the matter had been exposed.At the same time, regarding the encounter between Baima and Jiang Fan, they were a little dumbfounded.

The legendary Zhaoye Jade Lion is a white horse with pure white fur.Because of the dyeing, those who came to Zhao Yeyu Lion obviously had the wrong target.

Seeing that the man in black who rushed out was about to control Jiang Fan and the white horse in the net, Zhou Xiaomeng did not stand idly by. With a flick of his long sword, he jumped up from the horse's back and waved his sword to stop it.

The martial arts of these men in black are obviously not weak.

The worst ones are seventh-rank Tongmai, and sixth-rank Qi Sea can be found everywhere.

In a hurry, even if Zhou Xiaomeng's swordsmanship is sharp, it is difficult to gain the upper hand.

However, this obstruction also bought time for Jiang Fan.

The big net was cut through by a dagger that Jiang Fan took out from nowhere.

Being attacked suddenly, Jiang Fan was naturally full of resentment, and immediately joined the battle unceremoniously as soon as he was out of the predicament.

The men in black were quickly killed by Jiang Fan and Zhou Xiaomeng.

"The idea is tough, Boss Ding, why don't you hurry up and make a move?" Someone in the men in black shouted loudly.

"waste!"

With a loud curse, a steel fork suddenly stabbed Jiang Fan from behind a certain bamboo to Jiang Fan who was showing off his majesty.

Jiang Nan could clearly see that the man holding the steel fork was the mustache he had seen on the long river before.

Because of the shout of the man in black, Jiang Fan had been on guard for a long time, and he backhanded the dagger in his hand, and the stabbing with the steel fork missed.

"Are you from the Changhe Gang?"

Jiang Fan's voice was dignified, and he obviously recognized Boss Ding who was holding a steel fork.

"That's right. You have some good eyesight." Boss Ding said with a slanted finger and said coldly, "You don't seem to be from Liuyun Escort, so don't meddle in your own business!"

"Liuyun Escort?" Jiang Fan was slightly taken aback.

"That's right. My Changhe Gang is determined to win the Zhaoye Jade Lion escorted by the Liuyun Escort. No matter what your status is, I advise you not to take this muddy water."

Boss Ding made no secret of the threat in his mouth.

"Zhaoye Jade Lion?" Jiang Fan glanced at the white horse struggling in panic under the broken net, with a strange expression on his face.

Jiang Fan had ridden this white horse himself just now, but it was just an ordinary white horse.

How could this be the legendary Chollima Zhaoye Jade Lion?
Puzzled, Jiang Fan's heart suddenly moved, and he subconsciously glanced at the dyed black horse that was returned to Zhou Xiaomeng just now.

The doubts in my heart were instantly resolved.

Immediately, a ray of light that couldn't be concealed burst out of his eyes.

Is that the legendary Zhaoye Jade Lion?
While Jiang Fan was excited, he couldn't help being slightly annoyed.

If I could recognize this legendary horse that covers a thousand miles earlier, I would ride it back to the Hanshui Gang earlier.Whether it's an auction or a gift, not only himself, but the strength of the entire Hanshui Gang will skyrocket because of this priceless horse.

Confused at night.

Boss Ding didn't see the change in Jiang Fan's expression.

He continued: "That's right. This Zhaoye Jade Lion was snatched by members of the Liuyun Escort Bureau from Chief Zhang of Fenglingdu of my Changhe Clan. This was originally a gift that Chief Zhang planned to give to our young leader. Your Excellency If it has nothing to do with Liuyun Escort, please leave as soon as possible."

This strange man is a master of stellar energy, Boss Ding is not sure that he will win.

It would be great if he could be driven away with the name of the Changhe Gang.

"So that's it." Jiang Fan nodded when he heard the words, turned his head and shouted at Zhou Xiaomeng who was still fighting with other men in black: "Miss Zhou, since this is a conflict between your bodyguard bureau and the Changhe Gang, I'm sorry to intervene. Farewell! "

After finishing speaking, he took several steps back and exited Boss Ding's attack range, then turned around and left quickly, disappearing into the vast night.

Boss Ding seemed very satisfied with Jiang Fan's choice.

Zhou Xiaomeng's expression changed drastically.

With a sword, he forced back the two men in black who were besieging him, glanced at Boss Ding who had already walked up to the white horse, gritted his teeth, and shouted at Jiangnan who was riding on the ordinary black horse:
"Surnamed Li, ride my horse and go! You must find my father!"

After shouting, he waved his long sword and rushed towards the remaining men in black.

Zhou Xiaomeng didn't ask Jiangnan to help.

Zhou Yunlong had clearly told her that this bodyguard named Li Qingshan only had the Qi Sea realm in his internal strength.

Therefore, in Zhou Xiaomeng's heart, even if Jiangnan's lightness kungfu is good and he has that unusually powerful golden snake, he can never be the opponent of Boss Ding present and so many men in black.

The golden snake might be able to sneak attack, just like Ding Qiushuang, and kill Boss Ding, a master of stellar qi.But the rest of the dozen or so men in black, who were mainly in the Sea of ​​Qi state, were still enough to surround and kill the two of them.

Zhou Xiao dreamed about how Ding Qiushuang and Nama Wuye died.

I know that the reason why the golden snake is powerful is because the venom in its teeth is poisonous enough.

Like this kind of venom, with the physique of the golden monster snake, it must not be too much.

Biting one will reduce some.

Surely it would not be possible to poison all the men in black present.

Instead of annihilating the entire army, it is better to drag the man in black to his death and let Jiangnan ride the real Zhaoye jade lion to find Zhou Yunlong.

With the speed of the Zhaoyeyu lion, it would be too late when Boss Ding found out that the white horse in the net was from Xibei, and tried to pursue it.

Zhou Xiaomeng's plan may be the most cost-effective choice at the moment.

pity!

She far underestimated Jiangnan's strength.

Hearing Zhou Xiaomeng's shout, instead of changing horses and leaving, Jiang Nan jumped off his horse and rushed towards the men in black who were besieging Zhou Xiaomeng.

"Swipe, swipe, swipe—"

Jiangnan's long sword swung repeatedly, and in an instant, four men in black at the Qi Sea Realm fell to the ground.Compared with Jiang Fan who was in the Stellar Qi Realm before, he shot more easily.

Zhou Xiaomeng was shocked, but also slightly moved.

This man didn't follow his advice, and left himself on the Zhaoye Jade Lion!
in fact.

When Zhou Xiaomeng shouted at Jiangnan, he didn't have much hope for Jiangnan to find his father.

This man named Li Qingshan has a mysterious identity and is extremely unusual. He must have a major conspiracy to sneak into the Escort team.The priceless Zhaoye Jade Lion is very likely to be the opponent's target.

Maybe, after the opponent rides the Zhaoye Jade Lion and achieves the goal, he will never return.

just.

Now that things have come to this, Zhou Xiaomeng has no other choice.

Besides, it's better to take advantage of this man who saved his life twice than to take advantage of the Changhe gang.

Who knows-

This man didn't listen to his advice at all!
Moreover, why is his swordsmanship so powerful? !
Zhou Xiaomeng became a little dazed unconsciously as his thoughts surged.

A man in black who had been stabbed by her before suddenly lifted up quietly from the ground, took out a splinter from nowhere, and stabbed viciously at Zhou Xiaomeng's vest.
