The sailboat sailed down the river, hundreds of miles a day,
In this retreat-like practice, Hou Jiuming's mana also accumulated rapidly, and the bottleneck in the later stage of Qi training was within reach.
However, in order not to arouse suspicion, I still go out for short activities and meals every day.
On this day, it was time for dinner again. Hou Jiuming finished his practice and left the cabin.
I roughly estimated the time and found that it was still a while before the meal, so I chose to go to the deck to take a look at the scenery.
However, the atmosphere on the ship today was a little strange. There were two strong men standing at the cabin door.
"Are all warriors now dead?" As he walked in the aisle, Hou Jiuming felt doubts in his heart, because these two men turned out to be warriors with advanced cultivation.
Although it is not enough in front of his talent.
But he was considered a good hand in the ordinary world, but he didn't expect that he was just a janitor.
As soon as this idea flashed through his mind, one of the two people spoke.
"He who comes is stopped!"
"Huh?" Hou Jiuming, who was confused, looked up at the two of them, "Who are you?"
It was already the fifth day of sailing. During these five days, he would go out to eat every morning, noon and evening, but he had never seen anyone guarding the cabin door.
Two people suddenly appeared and stopped, which made him feel a little strange.
When asked, the man replied indifferently, "There is so much nonsense, just stop if you dare to stop. If you dare to pester, don't blame our ruthless men."
"Ha~" The corner of Hou Jiuming's mouth couldn't help but evoke a touch of teasing. He looked at the two of them without saying a word, and continued to walk forward in large strides, showing his attitude with his actions.
Seeing that Hou Jiuming ignored the warning, the man who spoke narrowed his eyes and said, "Boy, it seems that you will be punished with a drink instead of a toast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force on his feet, stepped forward, and came to Hou Jiuming. He raised his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and was about to slap him on the head.
The strength of the warrior who has entered the Jin Dynasty has not been restrained at all. If an ordinary person faced it this time, he would be injured or disabled.
Looking at the merciless man, a cold light flashed in Hou Jiuming's eyes. He placed his right hand between his chest and abdomen and patted the air.
"Buzz~"
The illusory palm formed in the trembling sound and flew forward quickly.
"Bang~"
There was a muffled sound, and the man flew backwards towards the exit without even having time to react.
While the person was still in the air, a large amount of blood was already spurting out of his mouth.
As for the other man, when he saw his companion taking action, he didn't pay much attention, and just regarded it as a break from the boring work.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the play started, his eyes were covered by a dark shadow.
"What is that?" As soon as the words came to mind, I felt a pain in my chest and my body fell back uncontrollably.
"Bang~ clang clang clang~" The two of them collided and rolled towards the deck like a gourd rolling on the ground.
"Someone is attacking, protect the lady?"
At the same time as the sound sounded, there were constant "clang~" sounds on the deck. It was obvious that the people on the deck were drawing weapons.
"Da~da~da~" With no more obstacles in his way, Hou Jiuming took a few steps out of the cabin door.
He wanted to see who was so powerful, so he blocked the door while watching the scenery on the deck.
As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, he saw cold lights on the deck. A dozen men wearing the same clothes were holding three women behind them with knives, looking at him solemnly.
The three women seemed to be very scared of this sudden change. They hugged each other and didn't even have the courage to raise their heads and look over.
As for the two people who were originally guarding the door, they were both lying on the deck, one clutching his chest and groaning, while the other had blood at the corner of his mouth and could not stop coughing.
"who are you"
The middle-aged man standing at the front of the crowd stared at Hou Jiuming with an unkind expression, as if he would launch an attack at the next moment. The two people who fell on the deck were his men.
"Who are you, and why are you holding the cabin door so no one can get out?" Hou Jiuming asked the other party in the same way.
"Boy, I think you want to cause trouble."
The middle-aged man saw two of his men defeated and knew that Hou Jiuming had martial arts skills. Out of caution, he didn't want to get into trouble, but he didn't expect that the boy opposite was very arrogant.
Not only did he not have any room for relaxation, he even made provocations.
How could he, an acquired master, endure this?
Immediately, without saying a word, he prepared to step forward and weigh Hou Jiuming's ability.
But at this moment, one of the three women who were protected by them spoke.
"Ma...Master Ma, forget it...forget it, it's a misunderstanding, don't argue..." I saw the weak girl in the protection looking at the middle-aged man timidly.
The woman's opening caused the middle-aged man's movements to freeze abruptly.
Just when Hou Jiuming thought the man was going to retort, he didn't expect that the other man would step back very obediently.
"Let's go back to the cabin!" After the man retreated, the woman spoke again.
As her words fell, the men around her responded immediately.
"yes!"
These people's voices were neat and their movements were neat and tidy. They didn't look like the rough and tumble people in the world at all. Instead, they had the style of soldiers who enforced orders and prohibited them.
"You guys go and carry Xiao San and the others back to the cabin, and the others will follow me to escort the lady." The middle-aged man immediately arranged his men after the woman spoke.
Hou Jiuming watched from the side and did not stop him.
Just when he thought it was over, Fatty Qian came to the deck shaking his body fat.
"Misunderstanding~ misunderstanding, please don't do anything. If you have anything to say..."
Behind Fatty Qian were several boatmen, who seemed to be following him closely to protect his safety.
"Shopkeeper Qian, didn't I tell you that my lady wants to enjoy the scenery on the deck and no one is allowed to disturb her? What happened to him?" The middle-aged man had already decided to swallow his breath.
But after seeing Fatty Qian, he immediately vented his dissatisfaction to him.
The identities of these people seemed not simple. Fatty Qian was very afraid. After hearing the man's words, he immediately said flatteringly, "Blame me. The people below are not doing things well.
I apologize to you for disturbing your young lady's enjoyment. Your Excellency has a lot of money. Please forgive me this time. I will immediately teach those subordinates who did not do things well."
Although he was wary, Fatty Qian was a businessman after all, and his shrewd eyelashes were almost empty. He naturally responded to this situation with a few words and calmed down the middle-aged man's anger.
"Hmph, I will never do this next time." When he said this, he looked at Hou Jiuming, and his eyes were clearly pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.
Hou Jiuming didn't care about this either. Let alone a mere acquired warrior, even if there were a few like him, he wouldn't take it to heart.
