From slave trader to the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws
Chapter 7 Riding Xu Niang Under the Moon on the River
The night is not collected.
The Imperial Black Office, whose function is similar to the Six Doors, was originally a notorious assassin organization in the martial arts world, just like Ding Feng Bo. However, more than ten years ago, it was taken into the imperial court by the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty. Although it is not an official government office, it enjoys a salary from the court.
of course.
If someone is short of money, everyone in the night watchman's ward, from the chief constable to the lowest-ranking clerk, will go out and take on private jobs.
The two constables were the ones who took on the job today.
Although they were just yamen runners, those who could take on jobs under the night watchman's jurisdiction must have been at least sixth-rank martial artists.
This is already considered a master in the martial arts world.
...
The bright moonlight illuminated half of the courtyard wall.
Madam Xu jumped down, unfastened the latch, and pushed the door open to come in.
Upon hearing the rustling sound of someone pushing open the door, the two constables who had been lying on the wooden bed in the mortuary pretending to be dead immediately stopped breathing and woke up from their state of suspended animation.
"call out!"
The wind whistled past my ears.
Wei Dalong raised his hand and threw a dart. He heard a loud thud inside the house, as if it had hit a wooden stake, and knew that he had failed.
However, he had been practicing this hidden weapon technique for almost twenty years, and even ordinary masters of internal strength could not defend against it.
What's more, it was an attack launched from a blind spot!
But the person in front of them simply lowered his head and easily dodged it, a sight that shocked the two brothers.
"Big brother!"
"Hmm, that's a pretty good idea."
"What should we do then?"
"Scare him first."
The two brothers exchanged glances, about to speak, when they heard a wise woman's voice from across the room:
Which pot?
"Your grandfather doesn't collect night watchmen!"
The two brothers responded instinctively.
But the woman opposite him remained silent.
The Night Watchmen are known for their ruthlessness and fame; any madman in the martial arts world with a blood debt trembles at their name.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, thinking the woman was scared. Just as they were feeling smug, a glint of white light flashed in the darkness opposite them, and a cold glint appeared!
"Hey you..."
Wei Dalong reacted quickly, dodging to the left from which the cold light had come, and at the same time kicked his second brother, who was still in shock, causing him to stumble and fall uncontrollably to the right.
It was only then that Wei Erhu realized that the enemy's hidden weapon was already close to his eyebrow. He looked over in horror, but only saw a sliver of cold light, and had no idea what the hidden weapon was.
Naturally, I can't name it.
But I knew it was fast!
"Bang—!"
With a loud bang, Han Guang flew between the two brothers, Da Long and Wei Zhi, and into the brick wall. He then passed through the wall, blasting a hole the size of a fist, through which the bright moonlight flowed in like a spring.
Wei Erhu was furious. Having suffered this injustice in silence, he was instantly enraged. The moment the cold light pierced the wall, he drew his sword and charged forward, his eyes wide open like a god of death descending from the heavens.
"Die!"
Although Madam Xu was simple-minded, she was quick to react. With a simple gesture, she pinched and pulled two fingers from her sleeve, and a thread thinner than a hair was pulled out and thrown out softly yet firmly.
"clang--!"
The goose-feather blade struck the silk thread as if hitting hard iron, causing Wei Erhu's hand to go numb and the hilt of the blade to nearly slip from his grasp.
So he changed to holding the knife with both hands and splitting Mount Hua in two.
It struck Xu Lian's skull directly!
"choke--!"
Wei Erhu slashed fiercely, creating a powerful gust of wind with each strike.
However, the Goose Feather Blade had already suffered a severe blow, damaging both its hardness and toughness, and was already on the verge of collapse. After Wei Erhu's powerful slash, the overburdened blade instantly broke in two.
"Snap!"
The sound was like tearing silk.
Wei Erhu's expression froze. He still held the knife in both hands, hovering in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the goose-feather knife that was slashing down on Xu Niangzi's head, shattering like a mirror.
Madam Xu did not dodge him, but instead raised her leg and kicked him hard.
"Bang!"
Wei Erhu was kicked away, his body flying like a broken sack, until he crashed into several wooden beds before finally coming to a stop.
He clutched his lower abdomen and had just managed to get up when a gust of wind suddenly swept in front of him, and a pair of long legs landed on the ground.
"Big brother!"
Wei Erhu shouted.
Madam Xu ignored him.
She simply reached out and grabbed his face, like grabbing a ball, and slammed it to the ground with a thud, creating a large crater.
But Wei Erhu was no pushover. His shout was not a plea for help from his brother, but a signal to launch a counterattack.
"go!"
With a flick of his wrists, Wei Dalong unleashed a torrential downpour of black iron lotuses, which shot out from his sleeves in an instant, like a shower of pear blossoms.
The previous attack, which had cornered the target, was ineffective.
Therefore, Wei Dalong decided to win by sheer numbers. He used a hundred or so Black Iron Lotuses, and anyone who was hit by even one would die from the poison.
But Madam Xu remained calm. She didn't even get up. She kept her right hand on Wei Erhu's face, raised her left hand, and waved it towards the direction from which the hidden weapon came. In an instant, there were many afterimages, as if hundreds of hands were striking at the same time.
"Ping ping ping!"
Iron lotus seeds fell to the ground.
Wei Dalong was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock:
"This...this is...the Hundred Methods of Dragon Capture?!"
He froze, his mind involuntarily replaying the scene of the woman pulling silkworm threads from the fabric and throwing them as projectiles. This further solidified his suspicions, and he exclaimed in shock:
"No mistake, no mistake... This is the ultimate hidden weapon technique—the Hundred Solutions to Dragon Capture! But this technique is extremely difficult to master, and those who can learn it will have martial arts attainments that are beyond the reach of others..."
Could it be... she's a martial arts master?!
Thinking of this, Wei Dalong's legs went weak, and his heart pounded with anxiety: "I'm just a lowly sixth-rank martial artist, what good fortune do I have to encounter a grandmaster? And I even dare... to be his enemy? That Xu family business guild, they've really ruined me!"
As he thought this, despair welled up in his eyes, and he could no longer muster any strength.
Surprisingly, Madam Xu did not press her advantage. She glanced around, listened intently for a moment, and heard the movement of soldiers outside. She immediately shouted in a low voice:
"Keep chiseling!"
"Old San Shuo has been around for a while, and there are many people who whip and boil."
...
Yunshuifang, a certain alley.
"Why haven't they come out yet?"
"I don't want to lose this woman for nothing."
Jiang She pondered, then lowered his body and observed quietly.
"Tap tap tap!"
Dozens of people ran past the alley entrance, all dressed in short clothes and trousers, carrying lanterns and knives, with the words "Xu Family" printed on their backs.
"A few dozen more people."
Jiang She thought to himself, "The Xu family has only a few hundred guards, yet they've sent out half of them to handle this mess."
"Don't you think there's something to be gained from this?"
Jiang She's mind raced. He thought to himself, "This is strange. Xu Lian is the top assassin in Dingfengbo, yet he is only ordered to kill members of the Xu family. But the number one secret alliance in the martial world, how could they not wipe out wealthy families overnight? Could it be that they are blinded by a leaf?"
"Or is there some adultery you haven't discovered yet?"
He paused, thinking:
"The Xu family has been in business for four generations, and Xu Qingyue will be the fifth generation to take over. It is normal that there are some old grudges between the ancestors."
"It seems... we still have to dig deeper into Madam Xu's past."
Just as Jiang finished thinking, he heard a commotion coming from the street.
"Thief, don't run!"
"Grab her! Quickly!"
Ding ding—
After a few clanging sounds, the shouts on the street ceased. Jiang She peered out and saw that dozens of guards had all fainted.
"what?"
"Is there another pot?"
Madam Xu blinked, stared at the alley where Jiang She was hiding, then suddenly scratched her head, her face full of question marks:
"Ginger color, what's wrong with the mud?"
Jiang She didn't waste words with her, but called out, "Madam Xu, hurry! I've come to meet you!"
"Borrow me?"
Madam Xu paused for a moment.
She fled all the way here, encountering at least three or four ambushes, including Xu family guards and government soldiers, who clung to her like glue.
This is truly a huge headache.
"Do you know how he escaped?"
"I asked, Madam Xu."
"Um."
Jiang She nodded: "I followed them closely and saw that there were many ambushes along the way. I have kept those in mind and cannot be careless."
"Please, my lady, help me escape at once."
"it is good."
Madam Xu nodded, then stuck out her buttocks and bent over, making a gesture as if letting a child ride a horse.
Ok?
Jiang She was stunned.
"Madam Xu, what are you doing?"
Madam Xu blinked.
"I run fast, you can't ride me!"
