Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Qin Han's eyes were calm. His "Nine Yang Divine Skill", "Yi Jin Jing" and "Dragon God Skill" all had miraculous healing effects. It was not impossible for him to use his Celestial Realm True Essence to treat Lian Xing's limp, but it would just take more time.

I was calculating in my mind that Lianxing was sentimental, which can be seen from her later disobeying Yaoyue's orders to save Hua Wuque. If it weren't for her inferiority complex due to her limp, her martial arts achievements might not have been inferior to Yaoyue's.

He offered a soft word of comfort.

"Just bear with it, it'll be over soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the true essence in his palm turned golden and trembled slightly.

A faint, crisp sound of bones realigning echoed through the carriage.

The cracking sounds reached Lianxing's ears as the dislocated joints in her foot gradually returned to their original positions, and the atrophied tendons slowly relaxed.

The extreme pain came quickly and went quickly, followed by a warm feeling that flowed through my limbs and bones, making me feel very comfortable all over.

Lianxing was completely exhausted and could no longer hold on. She leaned softly against Qin Han's shoulder, her clothes soaked with fine cold sweat, and tears silently streamed down her face.

She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. She had lived her whole life under her sister's oppression, feeling inferior, repressed, and afraid. No one had ever treated her so kindly before.

After a while, Qin Han withdrew his hand.

"Alright, now you can try moving around a bit."

Lianxing quickly looked down at her left foot. Her foot, which was originally deformed and incomplete, was now perfect, with straight joints and smooth skin, just like her right foot.

She reached out and gently touched it; the texture felt very real, definitely not an illusion.

Lianxing was filled with mixed emotions. This person had the strength to easily crush everything, yet he was willing to lower himself to soothe the pain of her life.

She raised her misty eyes.

"Thank you so much..."

Qin Han simply nodded and looked away.

"It was nothing, don't mention it."

He thought to himself, with the situation in Shandong so tense right now, and a bunch of women watching him in this carriage, he didn't have time to worry about personal feelings. The most important thing was to get back to the Golden Snake Camp as soon as possible and stabilize the situation.

Lianxing looked at his expressionless profile and suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart.

This man, known as the Golden Serpent King, had just shown the sisters no mercy, teasing them like a frivolous playboy, and now he had suddenly cured their lameness...

(What kind of man is he exactly?)

Qin Han didn't say anything more, but he called out to the outside of the carriage curtain.

"Little Fish, you two speed up, travel day and night."

Xiao Yu'er and Jiang Yulang, sitting on the carriage shaft, wore long faces, but dared not delay for a moment. They quickly responded and cracked the whips, instantly increasing the carriage's speed as it sped along the empty official road towards Shandong.

They traveled day and night without incident.

......

Less than two days later, it was already noon when the carriage drove into a seemingly ordinary farm.

From the outside, the farm looks nothing special. Farmers are working in the fields, just like any other village. But if someone in the know looks closely, they will notice that the farmers' temples are bulging, their breathing is steady, and although they stand in seemingly casual positions, they are actually looking out for each other and protecting the entire farm.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, a masked man stepped out, followed by twenty masked men dressed in black.

Lin Pingzhi strode to the carriage, knelt on one knee, and handed it over with both hands, holding up a neatly arranged scroll.

"Your subordinate Zhao Gao greets Your Majesty. All the case files from Shandong have been compiled into a book."

This is his new name in Shandong, separate from the Black Jade Qilin of Luo Wang.

Xiao Yu'er and Jiang Yulang on the carriage shaft, as well as Xiao Hufei sitting on it, were all startled by the scene, their faces filled with astonishment.

Jiang Yulang's heart skipped a beat. The masked man's aura was terrifying. His eyes were cold and sinister, even more frightening than the Palace Master of Yaoyue. Just one glance from the other man sent chills down his spine.

Little Hu Fei's eyes lit up; he admired them greatly, thinking that Uncle Ye's men were truly impressive.

Qin Han hummed in agreement. The reason there was no trace of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) along the way was because he had sent Lin Pingzhi ahead of time to Shandong to gather intelligence before he set off.

He reached out and took the secret report, quickly reading it through.

As Qin Han read the contents of the secret report, his expression gradually darkened.

Although Ao Bai died, he had cultivated his influence in the court for many years, and his power and connections were complex. Taking action against one of them would implicate many others. After Emperor Kangxi first came to power, he spent a great deal of effort to clean up the remaining factions in the capital.

Now that things have stabilized in the court, the young emperor finally has a free hand and is turning his attention to the Golden Snake Camp, which is entrenched in Shandong.

Kangxi's plan was also meticulous. First, he used the pretext of appeasing the three feudatories and paying tribute to stabilize the southwest. Then, he used the pretext of marrying a princess to win over Wu Sangui to prevent him from being attacked from behind. Next, he sent the famous Manchu general Tuhai as the commander-in-chief, with Du Fuwei, the Grand Master of the Sticky Rod Office, secretly following behind.

They brought a total of 100,000 Eight Banners and Green Standard Army soldiers, marching south from Dezhou and surrounding the Golden Snake Camp layer by layer, as if they were going to wipe it out.

The presence of 100,000 troops outside was already a significant crisis, but the internal chaos described in the latter half of the secret report infuriated Qin Han even more.

Chu Hongliu, Sha Tianguang, and Nie Tianfeng, these seasoned veterans, had a history of such actions during the championship tournament, but they hadn't dared to make a move because they were afraid of their own strength.

Seeing the Qing army's overwhelming strength, these men, eager for wealth and power, have secretly sent someone to contact the Qing army's commander-in-chief, Tuhai.

Once the Qing army arrives, they will surrender the city and exchange it for high-ranking official positions and generous salaries.

"snort."

Qin Han snorted coldly.

The moment that cold snort was uttered, the atmosphere around them instantly tensed up, making it difficult for anyone to breathe.

It's true what they say: when the cat's away, the dog's gotta jump around.

He sneered inwardly. If he hadn't been in a hurry to go to Sichuan to handle some business right after the championship, he would have already eliminated these old guys with a criminal record for robbery and plunder.

"Zhao Gao."

"Your subordinate is here!"

Lin Pingzhi straightened up and bowed in response.

"Take a team and take the girls and children in the car to the villa. Send another team to ensure their safety."

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Pingzhi received the order, stood up, and looked at Xiaoyuer and Jiang Yulang on the carriage shaft.

"My lord, what should we do with these two young men?"

Qin Han glanced at the two nervous-looking boys and thought to himself that these two lads still needed to be disciplined.

"Give them a change of clothes. I'm leaving them in your care from now on. Teach them some things properly."

When Little Fish heard that he was going to be disciplined, he groaned inwardly and was about to try to sneak away.

But when he looked up, he met Lin Pingzhi's emotionless eyes, which looked at them as if they were two dead people.

Xiaoyuer and Jiang Yulang both shuddered. What kind of people are these? Why are their eyes so scary?

Qin Han ignored the two of them and spoke softly into the carriage curtain, "Long'er, I'll take you to see a few of your younger sisters first."

Lin Pingzhi understood. He took a gilded longsword from his subordinate and presented it to Qin Han. A golden snake was coiled on the hilt. It was Xia Xueyi's Golden Snake Sword and also the token of the Golden Snake King.

Qin Han took the Golden Snake Sword, casually hung it on his waist, and led Xiaolongnu toward the Golden Snake Camp headquarters.

P.S.: Thank you again to "柒墨" (Qi Mo)! I'm truly touched. I'll work overtime and update again tomorrow with 10,000 words!
