Introducing the Scholar Next
Only seen.
There weren't even any bandits standing guard at the entrance of the village.
The entire village was in dead silence.
It was as if all the humans and animals in the village were dead.
Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat.
I knew something had probably happened to this village.
Without thinking, he turned around and left.
Unfortunately, it's too late!
A big net suddenly fell from the sky, covering Jiangnan's entire body.
Jiang Nan struggled hard, but couldn't break free. There seemed to be something like beef tendon in the net rope.
"Hehe, I really caught a big fish, it's not like our brothers spent a long time in ambush!"
Two masked men walked out from the bushes nearby with a smile.
One of them glanced at Jiangnan and said disappointedly: "The fish is indeed a fish, but it's a pity that it's not big."
"How do you know it's not big?"
"Looking at his appearance, he's probably not a big deal."
The man pointed at the clothes on Jiang Nan's body.
Jiangnan's clothes were first scratched on the back by Lin Feipeng, then dragged and tied up by Wang Fugui after he was unconscious, then soaked in a river, and finally crawled in the mountains and forests for a long time. They were dirty, rotten, and beggars.
There is no difference.
If he were a powerful person, he would definitely not be reduced to this.
The masked man who asked the question seemed to have reacted, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and unlucky.
Pointing at Jiangnan, he shouted: "Boy, who are you? What are you doing here? What do you have to do with the bandits in this village?"
It’s almost the Three Questions of the Soul.
Jiang Nan didn't know what these two people were like, but judging from their appearance and methods, they probably weren't good guys either.
Pretending to be frightened, he said: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I am a scholar from Nanshan City. I accidentally offended a gangster on the street and was robbed of my property and driven out of the city."
"I am hungry and cold and have nowhere to go. I heard that this village is looking for accounting clerks, so I want to join them and make a living."
"In the next ten years, I will have no problem keeping accounts and writing letters."
"Please also ask the two kings to take you in!"
Jiang Nan saluted with his hands on the internet.
"Hey...it turns out he is a down-and-out scholar!"
The masked man smiled at his companion and said, "You really are a fool for reading. Saying 'Your Majesty' and saying 'Your Majesty' when you say it is just like singing in an opera."
"Haha. I think this scholar is not too pedantic." The companion shook his head and said: "At least, when he was desperate, he still knew how to put down his body and join the bandits. He is better than those poor people who would rather starve to death than eat the food they brought.
Be like the multitude of men.”
"That's right!" The masked man nodded and then sneered: "It's a pity that he was unlucky and came to the wrong place at the wrong time."
My companion also shook his head and sighed.
Although the two of them didn't say anything explicitly, Jiang Nan already knew in his heart that the two of them were probably going to kill someone and silence them.
Secretly on guard.
Sure enough, the masked man slowly drew out the long knife on his body.
"Wait a minute." His companion suddenly stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't get the net dirty."
I was actually worried that blood would be spilled on the Internet and would be difficult to clean up.
The two of them acted as if no one was around.
Jiang Nan also pretended not to understand, and said: "You two kings, are you afraid that the dirt on my body will stain the net? It doesn't matter, don't look at the next scholar, in fact, I am proficient in washing and cooking. Two kings, accept it
After I'm here, you can leave all the cleaning and cleaning things to me down here."
The two masked men were stunned when they heard this, looked at each other, and then laughed.
"This scholar is quite clever. If it were another time, I would have accepted him as my younger brother." The masked man joked to his companion.
"Haha. Business is more important."
The masked man put away the long knife, untied the sword from Jiang Nan's waist from the mesh, handed it to his companion, and then reached out to untie the knot on the rope net.
The sword is the weapon of a gentleman.
The scholar's sword not only shows the scholar's integrity and courage, but also symbolizes concern for the country and the people.
In this world, it is a etiquette and trend for scholars to carry swords.
Therefore, it was not surprising that the masked man saw Jiang Nan claiming to be a scholar and carrying a sword.
Seeing that the masked man had untied most of the knots of the shrinking net, his companion was bored and casually pulled out Jiangnan's sword.
A cold light flashed.
"Huh?" the companion exclaimed.
The masked man who was untying the rope was also startled, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't expect it to be a good sword!" replied the companion who drew the sword.
Jiangnan obtained this sword from Master Wei, the second-in-command of the Poison Wolf Gang. Seeing its extraordinary quality, he always carried it with him.
"Boy, where did you get this sword?"
The masked man who was untying the rope stopped what he was doing and asked curiously.
"You mean this gentleman's sword? It's passed down from our ancestors."
Jiang Nan's expression was full of nostalgia: "It is said that in my ancestors, there were people who were awarded Jinshi and became high officials. This sword was passed down from that time. It is named Junzi Sword, which means that a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement."
"Gentleman's Sword? Haha."
The masked man smiled, no longer doubting, and continued to untie the knot.
The knot was untied quickly.
The masked man pulled off the big net from Jiang Nan's body and put it aside.
"Boy, do you really want to join our village?" the masked man asked with a smile.
"Yes. I hope your Majesty will make it happen."
"You have to think carefully. As a bandit, you will often encounter beatings and killings. You don't need to know martial arts, but you have to have a lot of courage. Don't let the bloody scene make you wet your pants..."
"I'm not afraid. The most important thing for scholars to cultivate themselves is courage." Jiang Nan spoke firmly.
"Okay. Then stand on that rock and I'll try your courage." The masked man pointed to a convex rock on the edge of the cliff not far away.
Jiang Nan understood in his heart.
I know that this masked man is probably afraid that if he kills him here, he will leave traces of blood, which will affect their ability to ambush others who come after him.
Therefore, I wanted to trick myself into walking to the edge of the cliff, and then throw the body directly to the bottom of the cliff after killing him.
"No problem. Just try."
Jiang Nan said and walked towards the protruding rocks on the edge of the cliff.
When passing by the masked man holding his long sword, the "Nine Yin Divine Claw" was suddenly used.
The man was completely unprepared and his throat was scratched.
Before the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, Jiang Nan had already grabbed it in his hand.
"You...you are not a scholar?"
The remaining masked man was shocked and angry.
Just now, he was secretly happy that he deceived Jiangnan into "throwing himself into a dead end", but in the blink of an eye, he discovered that he was the fool who had been deceived the most!
Now that he was out of danger, Jiang Nan no longer talked nonsense with the masked man.
The long sword in his hand transformed into a sword shadow and attacked the frightened and angry masked man.
The masked man blocked with a knife.
