Chapter 516 Shi Jin, the Nine-Tattooed Dragon: I want to become your apprentice!

"What's going on? Why are there so many stinky out-of-towners coming to Bianjing City lately, filling all the inns?"

"Sigh, it's all because of that guy named Nan Yanxia. Hearing that he was coming to Bianjing, all sorts of monsters and demons from all over the country are rushing to Bianjing."

"Nan Yan Xia..."

"Is that the chivalrous hero of Nanyan that the storyteller spoke of? The chivalrous hero of Nanyan who draws his sword to help those in need?!"

"it's him."

"Tsk tsk, do you know why he came to Bianjing?"

"Some say they came seeking revenge, others say they came to purge the court of corrupt officials..."

The person at the table who was talking to immediately lowered their voice.

Less than three years after the new emperor ascended the throne, the common people in Bianjing (Kaifeng) clearly felt that life was getting harder every day. Officials were becoming increasingly corrupt, and local thugs and ruffians were becoming more and more powerful. They couldn't afford to offend them, and they couldn't avoid them. The expenses for bribing officials in business had increased several times over, and the profits they could earn were decreasing month by month.

Where did all the money go?

No one dared to delve into these issues.

In the inn, the innkeeper knocked on a room door, followed by three waiters. When the guest opened the door and saw the innkeeper, he invited him in to talk.

"Sir, shouldn't you pay your room fee? You've only paid for three days, so we've already accommodating you to stay until the fifth day," the innkeeper said to Shi Jin.

"Shopkeeper, I'm having some difficulties, but I will never delay paying your rent. Please be lenient with me for two more days, and I will definitely pay you double."

"Ha... Sir, do you think this place is a charity?"

"If you can't afford to stay, then don't stay. Going out and lying under a bridge is also a decent place."

"You've taken my room! Do you know that hotel room prices in Bianjing are going up every day?" The innkeeper winked at the three waiters behind him, preparing to make a move on Shi Jin.

"Wait a minute, I'm leaving now."

"Alright. Leave quickly, and I won't charge you for the past two days. Don't hold a grudge against me; this is Bianjing City, not some backwater," the innkeeper said with a forced smile.

"I understand."

Shi Jin packed his luggage, picked up his stick, and left the inn.

More than a dozen guests in the inn's lobby were secretly watching Shi Jin's antics. As soon as he stepped out of the inn onto the street, the inn was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Shi Jin clenched his fists, lowered his head, and didn't turn around to look at the people in the inn who were mocking and laughing at him.

"How did I, Shi Jin, the Nine-Tattooed Dragon, end up in such a state?" Shi Jin murmured to himself.

He loved playing with knives and sticks since he was a child. His mother said he would die of anger and frustration. His father, Grandpa Shi, also died suddenly of a serious illness more than a year ago.

Old Master Shi spent his money to hire seven or eight masters to teach Shi Jin martial arts. Shi Jin was complacent and considered himself a master of martial arts. However, a group of bandits came down from Shaohua Mountain, knocked him unconscious, looted the Shi family manor, and burned it to the ground.

Shi Family Village originally thought that Shi Jin could handle the five hundred bandits on Shaohua Mountain, but unexpectedly, more than a dozen of the village's able-bodied men died with him, and Shi Jin himself was beaten to a pulp.

In Huayin County, Shi Jin, known as "Nine-Tattooed Dragon Shi Jin," is often referred to as "Maggot Shi Jin." Whenever Shi Jin is mentioned, people always tell the story of how he was beaten by Chen Da, the "Leaping Tiger" of Shaohua Mountain, until he crawled on the ground like a maggot.

Shi Jin did have martial arts talent, but he never met a master. The seven or eight martial arts instructors that Shi Taigong hired taught Shi Jin some fancy moves and basic martial arts, which were no match for the real hard-hitting bandits. His stances were full of openings.

After leaving Huayin County, Shi Jin wandered around, seeking out renowned teachers and hoping to avenge his previous humiliation.

I felt extremely frustrated.

With no money, no connections, and no fame, Shi Jin faced setbacks everywhere he went.

It was the bandits of Shaohua Mountain who turned him into a homeless dog. Shi Jin was filled with resentment and swore to the heavens that he would never go up the mountain to become an outlaw.

Now, Shi Jin places all his hopes on Wang Jin, the chivalrous hero of the South.

The fame of the Great Hero of the South Wild Goose spread throughout the martial arts world, and Shi Jin dreamed of it.

If he were to confide his plight to the chivalrous hero Wang Jin, the man embodying loyalty, righteousness, and justice, he would surely be accepted as a disciple and helped to avenge himself. He arrived in Bianjing City, waiting patiently, hoping to finally meet Wang Jin, the chivalrous hero.

……

……

"Father, what's wrong? Are you worried about that Wang Jin?"

In Grand Commandant Gao's residence, Gao Yanei watched Gao Qiu pacing back and forth anxiously, looking restless.

"He's here to kill me! He's here to kill me!!" Gao Qiu looked at Gao Yanei and kicked him.

"You still dare to sit there? I'll make you cry!" Gao Qiu kicked Gao Yanei a few times, knocking him off the chair, and vented his fear.

"Father, is there no one left in the Commander's Mansion? If Wang Jin wants to kill you, he should at least have his men take a few blows for you and die in your place!" Gao Yanei cried out.

"..."

"Don't you still have a precious sword? Let someone with the skill take it and chop down that Wang Jin!"

Gao Qiu, who had been kicking Gao Yanei, stopped and began to plot.

Gao Qiu was promoted by the current emperor and appointed as the Grand Commandant of the Palace Guard. Countless people wanted to curry favor with him, and he knew more about Wang Jin than the rumors circulating in the martial arts world.

Nan Yanxia is none other than Wang Jin, the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards whom he forced to flee. There is no doubt about it; local officials have already verified it for him.

"Father, do you have an idea?" Gao Yanei asked, lying on the ground.

"What, do you have some ideas?" Gao Qiu asked in return.

"Or how about setting up a trap? Arrange a venue, make a big show of inviting that Wang Jin in, and tell him you regret your past mistakes and are now begging for his forgiveness. Meanwhile, have your henchmen lying in ambush, using the smashing of a cup as a signal!" Gao Yanei whispered in Gao Qiu's ear.

“His surname is Wang, not Liu. Does he really think he can turn into a wild goose?” Gao Yanei added at the end.

Gao Qiu was somewhat tempted.

Wang Jin was just a head instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards, and how could there be few other head instructors of the Imperial Guards in the Palace Commander's Mansion?

"But you want me to put myself in danger," Gao Qiu said with some dissatisfaction.

What he wanted was to eliminate Wang Jin without ever meeting him.

"Father, we are in the open while he is in the dark."

"He can also sneak up onto the roof in the middle of the night to take your head from your neck, Father..."

Gao Qiu was furious.

Wang Jin was like a fly to him, something he could swat with a single slap, but now he was being bothered by him and couldn't sleep at night.

"Father, I have one last way."

"Tell me."

"We could try to plead with the officials..."

Gao Qiu slapped Gao Yanei to the ground, his terrifying gaze making Gao Yanei swallow all his words.

"I never thought you were so quick-witted before, but today I've really gotten it all out of you."

"Father, the fame of Prince Jin of Nanyan has probably reached the palace. What if the Emperor becomes curious?" Gao Yanei covered his face, his eyes glistening with tears.

"What do we do? What do we do?!"

Gao Qiu continued pacing in circles, clearly agitated.
