Chapter 125: Contest of hidden weapons, swords and heroes
The Seven Heroes hunt the gods, and become stronger when they patrol the streets. Chapter 125: Contest of hidden weapons, swords and heroes, Pingnan Palace?
Yan Ming frowned slightly and looked at these unfamiliar faces.
These people are very powerful, especially the middle-aged man standing silently behind him, who makes Yan Ming feel a faint threat. It seems that he is probably another third-level Grandmaster.
At this time, Qingqing and the others also discovered Yan Ming, and they all looked this way.
"This must be the famous Yan Captou, right?"
One of them said, looking up and down at Yan Ming with a smile, and then cupped his hands to say hello, obviously trying to be more friendly to him.
"I am Lu Tianxiang, a guest from Prince Pingnan's palace. I have heard about Yan Captou for a long time. When he came here, our prince specifically asked about Yan Captou several times. He just likes to make friends with young heroes like Yan Captou!"
"Don't dare." Yan Ming bowed his hands slightly and returned the greeting.
Then he looked at Qing Qing with a questioning look on his face.
Then Lu Tianxiang also turned around and said to Qing Qing.
"Lord Wuqing, our prince respects the reputation of Lord Zhuge, that's why he is so polite. Now that the procedures are in place, when can we take this man away?"
Qingqing lowered his head and looked at the official document in his hand, which had the seal of the Ministry of Punishment on it.
But it would be a bit too hasty to just hand over the newly captured Green Deer Holy Envoy to the other party.
Just as Wu Qing was hesitating, a homing pigeon suddenly flew over and landed firmly on Qing Qing's shoulder.
The carrier pigeon carries a letter on its lap.
Qingqing took it out and started browsing, and his expression changed one after another.
This letter was actually written jointly by Master Zhuge Shenhou and Guo Juxia from the Six Gates.
After reading it, Qingwu sighed reluctantly.
Not long after, Qing Wuqing ordered the people below to pick up the limp Green Deer Holy Envoy and hand it over to the people on the opposite side.
"Thank you, Mr. Qingqing, for your cooperation."
Lu Tianxiang beamed with joy and thanked Qingwu.
"I won't give it away!" Qing Qing said coldly with a stiff expression.
Yan Ming raised his eyes from the side and met the eyes of Holy Envoy Qinglu.
I saw that Qinglu was not panicked at all, but rather calm in his eyes, as if he was not worried about his own safety at all.
The middle-aged man with great strength behind him stepped forward and used a trace of vitality to check the condition of the Holy Envoy of the Blue Deer. He shook his head and pulled Lu Tianxiang over to mutter a few words.
Their voices were very low, but Yan Ming heard clearly: "Her meridians and acupuncture points have been sealed with special techniques."
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at the eyes of the Holy Envoy Qinglu, and then glanced at Yan Ming together.
However, they didn't say anything more and left directly with the Qinglu Holy Envoy.
It wasn't until their backs disappeared that Qingqing sighed and looked at Yan Ming.
"Yan Captou, you caught the man, but there is nothing you can do about it. This is what Guo Juxia meant..."
Wu Qing said, handing over the letter just now.
Yan Ming took a look and saw that it was a letter written by Guo Juxia, asking Wuqing Wu to cooperate with them in making friends, and that Prince Pingnan had informed him.
"Why does Prince Pingnan want to take away people from the Black Lotus Sect?"
"I don't know, but it is said that Prince Pingnan has an unclear relationship with the Black Lotus Sect. People in black robes often come in and out of the Prince's residence."
He said ruthlessly.
Yan Ming has also heard of this, having seen some similar rumors in Jianghu Monthly News.
Seeing that Qing Qing didn't want to say too much, Yan Ming didn't continue to ask.
Because he knew that everything involving King Nan was somewhat magical and sensitive.
King Pingnan is extremely powerful, and he has been disobedient in recent years, but he has not openly expressed his disobedience, so the court has always been submissive and accommodating as much as possible.
I heard that King Pingnan not only maintained a lot of private soldiers, but also recruited a large number of masters to serve as his commanders. His strength far exceeded that of many Jianghu sects or gangs.
One of the most familiar ones is Ye Gucheng, the famous Lord of Baiyun City.
Legend has it that Ye Gucheng had a very good relationship with Prince Pingnan.
In this regard, Yan Ming believes that in the original work, Ye Gucheng served as King of Nan. In this world, his title was slightly changed to King of Pingnan, but they are all the same.
Prince Nan wanted to rebel, so he specially joined forces with Ye Gucheng to take advantage of the opportunity of the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City to attack the emperor. However, he was stopped at the critical moment by Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue, and then there was the full moon night on the top of the Forbidden City.
of war.
I just don’t know whether the appearance of Prince Pingnan in this world is the same as that of the current Holy Emperor.
But compared with the original plot, there are definitely differences, at least now it involves the Black Lotus.
Since there were official documents from the Ministry of Punishment and letters from Guo Juxia and the Shenhou Mansion, Yan Ming didn't say much.
He immediately said goodbye to Qixia, and wanted to return to Qixia Town first.
After all, he was the only official in the town at the moment, and Yan Ming was also worried that something unexpected would happen if he stayed away for too long.
Things here will be handled slowly and ruthlessly.
"OK."
Sitting in a wheelchair, Qing Qing nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but ask Yan Ming.
"Yan Captou, I heard that your hidden weapon skills are also good. I wonder if we can learn from each other?"
After saying that, Ru Wu was still a little embarrassed.
After all, Monk Kongxing is a monk with a straightforward temperament. He says whatever he thinks and doesn't pay too much attention to it. However, he is ruthless and thin-skinned. He also wants to discuss things, for fear that Yan Ming will misunderstand him.
However, he rarely met an opponent in hidden weapon kung fu. Hearing that Yan Ming's hidden weapons were powerful made him feel very itchy and always wanted to communicate.
"no problem."
Yan Ming also chuckled twice. He was good at many martial arts, but he was not very good at this. There were always people who wanted to compete with each other.
"OK!"
After hearing Yan Ming's promise, Ru Wu immediately got excited and took a cup from the table next to him. He stretched out his hand and pushed the cup. The cup was pushed by Zhen Qi and landed on a chair not far away.
Immediately, Qing Wu poured another cup of tea for himself and Yan Ming and handed them over.
"Let's use water instead. The target is the cup. You attack and I defend without hurting the harmony."
Yan Ming took the tea and nodded.
The two of them immediately stared at the cup in the distance.
Yan Ming dipped two fingers into the tea and then took them out.
A few drops of water suddenly flew out and went straight to the quilt in the distance. Qingwu also took action at the same time, and a few drops of water popped out.
The seemingly fragile water droplets made a hissing sound when they hit in the air, and then shattered.
Yanming popped out a few drops of water, Wu Wuqing intercepted them with a few drops of water, and the two sides collided and turned into dots, not one drop too much, not too little, very precise.
It can be seen that the ruthless hidden weapon skills are indeed at their peak, much higher than the beautiful and uncompromising sisters I met before.
This seemingly simple operation actually not only tests your skills, but also requires good timing and precise vision.
Yan Ming also became somewhat interested, and the water droplets in his hand kept popping up like bullets, drawing dozens of trajectories in the air in front of him.
Some are going straight towards the cup, while others are lingering in the air, drawing curves back and forth, making it difficult to capture their true trajectory for a while.
Qing Wuqing perked up and moved his fingers in the same direction almost without thinking.
The sound of chi chi was continuous, and for a while, countless tiny water droplets exploded in the air, forming layers of water mist. Coupled with the refraction of light, it turned out to be quite beautiful.
However, just a moment later, the ruthless movements of his fingers suddenly stopped unconsciously.
In the large net he built, Yan Ming suddenly ejected a few droplets of water like petals. He only shattered the outer layer of the guard, but the core water droplets suddenly accelerated twice in the air and broke through directly.
A ruthless defense.
"Ding……"
It bounced off the cup and made a crisp sound.
The moment he touched the cup, ruthless obstruction had already arrived, but he could see clearly that he was still half a step too late and failed to succeed.
The strange thing is that although Yan Ming succeeded, the water droplets so quickly did not have much momentum. The water cup only moved slightly and did not fall or break.
Logically speaking, such a fast speed should release a huge impact.
But the more this happens, the more it shows Yan Ming's proficiency in controlling strength, which at least Qing Wu thinks he can't do.
Wuqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted, shook his head, smiled, and poured the remaining tea in his hand on the ground.
"Yan Baotou is good at concealed weapon skills. Thank you for your advice."
Ru Wu is admitting that his skills are inferior to others.
"Lord Qingqing is being polite, but in fact it's just a fluke." Yan Ming also hurriedly said modestly.
After a brief competition, he had already realized that Wu Qing's hidden weapon skills were indeed excellent, and his level of sophistication was no less than that of Xuan Qian Huan Shou, who was at the third level of his own.
This is already very scary. After all, Yan Ming relies on the system to quickly upgrade. If he just practices on his own, even if he is highly talented, it will be difficult to do both.
But Qing Wu actually managed to achieve such a powerful hidden weapon skill on the basis of breaking through to the Grandmaster level.
If you only rely on tactics, you will be equally matched with Wu Qing, and it will be difficult to win or lose.
In the end, Yan Ming tentatively added some strength tips from Tai Chi, attaching a force to it, so that he could achieve a second acceleration in the air and reduce the impact when hitting the target.
Therefore, Yan Ming cannot be said to be better than Qing Qing in hidden weapon skills, but he has more methods and stronger overall strength.
It's just that Qing Wu obviously doesn't think so.
After this brief discussion, both of them had some insights. Yan Ming explained to Qing Qing again before getting up and leaving.
Before leaving, he paid a special visit to Hao Laoqi's house.
They received a sum of money as a reward from Yan Ming, and the officers and soldiers also helped to re-erect their fence.
And Hao Laoqi is also nervously preparing to go to Guangyang Fucheng with Liu Chong to join the local garrison and start a new life.
In addition, the bandits were dealt with, and the family behaved happily.
The doctor he called in ruthlessly was also treating his mother's illness. Fortunately, it was just an ordinary illness that could be cured slowly.
After a while, Yan Ming used Qing Kung and left here.
He originally wanted to gallop all the way back to Qixia Town, just to take in the scenery along the way, but not long after he walked out, he couldn't help but frown, as if he sensed something.
After thinking for a moment, Yan Ming slowed down, stepped on the ground, and walked over.
Not far from him, there is a pavilion beside the road for passers-by to rest.
It's just that the people in the pavilion now are not porters or merchants coming and going, but a few familiar faces.
Holy Envoy Qinglu was sitting in the pavilion, leaning against a pillar. The leader among them was Lu Tianxiang, who was looking at Yan Ming with a smile.
It was obvious that they were specifically waiting for Yan Ming here.
"Yan Captou!"
Seeing Yan Ming approaching, Lu Tianxiang smiled and took a few steps forward, then made a gesture of invitation.
Wine and food have been placed on the stone tables and benches in the pavilion.
"We are waiting here specially for Yan to catch the head, so that we can talk to him and ask Yan to catch the head for a favor."
Yan Ming glanced at the taciturn middle-aged man and walked over without refusing.
He sat directly next to Holy Envoy Qinglu.
At this time, the Holy Envoy of Qinglu had already put on a thick robe and a veil on his face.
Just looking at Yan Ming and recalling that this guy was not polite to her at all before and had her body searched up and down, she was still a little angry and panicked, and turned around with a snort.
Yan Ming sat down, and Lu Tianxiang also sat opposite.
"Yan Baotou has made great achievements one after another, captured many evil thieves, and eliminated harm to the martial arts. He is admired by everyone in the world. It is really a blessing for me to meet a hero like Yan Baotou today. I would like to give you a toast to Yan Baotou.
"
Then Lu Tianxiang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
But Yan Ming opposite him was indifferent and had no intention of holding the wine glass at all.
Lu Tianxiang didn't feel embarrassed and sighed to himself.
"Good wine, really good wine. This Southern Green Wine was specially ordered by our prince to be brought as a gift to Yan Baotou. This shows that the prince loves Yan Baotou."
There is something in Lu Tianxiang's words.
"But apart from that, we have a small matter to ask Mr. Yan to help with."
Yan Ming smiled: "Let's not beat around the bush. You want me to unlock the acupuncture points and medicine behind her."
While talking, he looked at Qinglu next to him.
"Yan Captou is really a smart man, he can guess right."
Lu Tianxiang praised, but then the conversation changed.
"But Mr. Yan must be able to guess why we didn't speak before, but why we waited here specially."
Without waiting for Yan Ming to answer, Lu Tianxiang took the initiative to explain.
"It's very simple. We made a request in front of Qingqing before. With the documents and the letters between Guo Juxia and Zhuge Shenhou, Yan Baotou will definitely cooperate, but that is a business matter."
"And now, we want to use the honor of Pingnan Palace to ask Yan to reward this favor."
As he spoke, Lu Tianxiang leaned up, and someone next to him placed a box in front of Yan Ming, and then opened it.
Yan Ming looked inside and saw a box full of gold, silver and jewelry. Even Yan Ming had to admit that this was a considerable amount of wealth.
At the same time, another person took another long box and opened it in the same way.
Before he could see what was inside, Yan Ming's heart suddenly moved, and he felt that the sword intention he had realized not long ago was getting a little excited and was about to move.
"Um?"
Yan Ming looked intently and saw a sword inside, a precious sword!
The shape is simple yet sharp. The blade goes from wide to very narrow, drawing two straight but powerful lines. It suddenly closes at the tip, full of a different kind of beauty.
Yan Ming majored in swordsmanship, so he was naturally very sensitive to knives. This was an instinct, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
His actions caught Lu Tianxiang's eyes, making him even more satisfied.
"The name of this sword is Qinghong. It is a sword that our prince has treasured for many years. However, our prince also knows that swords match heroes, so he specially ordered us to bring it here and give it to Yan Baotou."
Although Lu Tianxiang said it lightly, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this gift is not small!
"The prince's request is also very simple. I hope to get this beautiful jade, Yan Baotou."
