Chapter 10 Breakthrough again, Zhou Tingyu, Li Lu in distress
In the past few days, more and more people have entered Kyoto.
Most of them were attracted by the vision of the imperial mausoleum.
Among them, many are powerful people.
But no matter how powerful they were, even those who were domineering, when they arrived in Kyoto, they all restrained themselves a lot.
Hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Kyoto are not something you just talk about casually.
Some strong men from several sects relied on their strength to talk nonsense in restaurants in Kyoto, look down on one party, and even forcefully buy and sell in some shops.
But within half an hour, he was invited to the Demon Slayer Department for tea.
Of course, this tea is not cheap.
It is said that fishing for someone requires at least five hundred taels, and some even require thousands of taels.
After being fished out with heavy bleeding, these people became honest.
When they saw the people from the Demon Slayer Division, they all lowered their eyebrows and looked down, and they were extremely flattering.
Of course, this is only for the demon-hunting envoys and Silver Heavenly Guards of the Demon-Slaying Division, and even the Demon-Slaying Masters and Golden Heavenly Guards.
As for the executioners at the lowest level of the Demon Slayer Division, they are not within this scope.
What Jianghu people value is strength.
Most of them are only torturers in the physical training realm and are not qualified to be feared by these powerful men in the world.
At this time, Jiang Nan, one of the torturers, was practicing his sword skills at home.
After killing ten monster beasts, perhaps due to constant killing and decomposition, Jiang Nan finally made a breakthrough in the "one-sword slashing" of "Shadowless Sword Technique".
With one strike, it can instantly turn into four swords.
Jiang Nan used basic footwork, and when she moved, her sword flashed, and she was powerful.
After practicing his sword skills for a while, Jiang Nan took a bath and then stayed up late to read.
Life in ancient times was too boring. In the evening, apart from going to Goulan to listen to music, it was also going to Jiaofangsi, which was basically related to women.
Apart from these, there are really no interesting activities.
Jiang Nan had no intention of going out.
First of all, he is still a sinner and is not suitable for walking around.
Secondly, all his thoughts are on understanding the world and improving his strength, and he has no intention of drinking flower wine for the time being.
As he reads more and more books, he understands more and more about the world.
Jiang Nan was shocked. This world was much bigger than the earth in his previous life.
According to ancient records, no one knows how big this world is.
Just one Ming Dynasty was already very vast.
In addition to the Ming Dynasty, there are also the Zhou Dynasty and the Daqian Dynasty on this continent that are equally powerful as the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to these three dynasties, there are also demon realms, barbarian realms, orc realms, demonic abyss, endless oceans, and more unknown regions.
This shows how vast the world is.
But while I was shocked, there were also more and more doubts.
In many documents, some strange events are just mentioned in passing without explanation.
It's like these are taboos.
This made him feel that the world might be more dangerous than he imagined.
All he has to do is continue to strengthen himself.
Only when you are strong can you protect yourself and everything that belongs to you.
After reading for about an hour, Jiang Nan went to bed.
At dawn the next day, Jiang Nan got up.
After a night of recuperating, he felt refreshed and full of energy.
I also exercised in my previous life, and my physique was very good, but compared to my current state, my physique was far behind.
I simply washed my face and started practicing martial arts.
While practicing basic footwork, practice basic boxing techniques and basic sword techniques, and then practice the "Shadowless Knife Technique"...
After practicing, I took a shower, had breakfast, read a book for a while, and then went to work in the Demon Slayer Department.
The Demon Slayer Division.
"My lord, can you arrange for me to kill more monsters?"
Jiang Nan cupped his fists.
Shi Wenhao shook his head, "No, Shitou is my greatest authority."
Although Jiang Nan had nothing to do with killing ten monsters, if something happened, his position as the leader would be over.
Although this man was demoted to a commoner, he was still the only son of Prince Yong and the eldest grandson of General Zhenbei.
Not an ordinary person.
Nothing can happen to him.
At least not in his hands.
Seeing Shi Wenhao's firm attitude, Jiang Nan had to give up the idea of continuing to plead.
Ten heads are ten heads, it's still early to get off work this way... After thanking Shi Wenhao, he went to the dungeon again.
…
Three days passed in a flash.
In these three days, Jiang Nan gained a lot.
The tricolor tree has grown a lot taller.
The light red branch bore two fruits, one of which was mature and the other light red fruit was already half the size.
After swallowing the ripe fruit, he successfully awakened a dragon again, and his physical strength reached 20,000 kilograms.
Strength and defense skyrocketed.
Jiang Nan punched a big rock, but the surface of the back of his hand was not damaged at all.
There are already four leaves on the gray branch.
As for the light green branches, they are still bare.
With strong Qi and blood, he suddenly opened up five thick and strong meridians, and entered the middle stage of the Second Heaven of Tongmai Realm.
If he continues at this rate, in another month, he may be able to reach the state of Tongmai.
This is not the main thing.
The important thing is that if he continues with the current situation and practices "Ancestral Dragon Kaitian Jin" with sufficient energy and blood, he is sure to awaken ten to twelve or three dragons in his body within a month.
The strength of a dragon is ten thousand kilograms.
Ten pieces equals one hundred thousand catties.
It's hard to imagine what it would be like if a hundred thousand pounds fell on a person.
Jiang Nan felt that in terms of strength, he could at least compete with the Shenzang Realm.
Of course, he didn't know what level he could compete with at the Shenzang Realm. He would only know after trying it.
But it is certain that it will transcend the Kaiyuan realm.
It is said that the strongest strength at the peak of Kaiyuan Realm is only 30,000 to 50,000 kilograms.
However, the comprehensive strength of a warrior cannot simply be measured by strength. It also includes weapons, body skills, martial arts, and even blessings such as talismans and defensive inner armor. There are many comprehensive factors involved.
However, one force can defeat ten enemies. When the force is so strong that it surpasses the opponent by too much, it is possible to defeat the enemy with one move.
Jiang Nan is full of expectations for the next training.
He was even more grateful to the emperor for demoting him to the dungeon of the Demon Slayer Division.
I practiced for a while in the evening and then read a book.
Early the next morning, Jiang Nan got up on time.
Practice, eat, read, and then go to work.
The days were very fulfilling.
Although it is early summer, the temperature in the morning has gradually increased.
Under the not too hot sunshine in the morning, the carriage headed towards the Xicheng Demon Slaying Department, and Jiang Nan started another day of demon slaying work.
…
Kyoto inner city.
Jiaofang Division.
In the private room, there was a table of food, but a young man in rich clothes was drinking alone.
"Made, didn't you just make up half a bad poem for some purpose?"
Zhou Tingyu cursed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The cup was not small, so after taking a big gulp, my face suddenly turned red.
He was very unhappy today. The oiran Yixiang he had arranged to meet was actually cut off by a scholar.
It made him very angry to think that the son of Zuo Shilang, a dignified official, was worse than a poor scholar from the Imperial College.
"Hey, why is Brother Zhou drinking alone?"
At this time, two young men in casual clothes appeared at the door, their auras were obscure, they were obviously two masters.
Zhou Tingyu looked up and didn't get up. He just cupped his fists slightly and said, "It turns out it's Brother Xu and Brother Cao."
Xu Chuliang and Cao Jing, both of them are very powerful and both are in the Divine Treasure Realm. It is said that they are the disciples of a certain prince in the palace.
These two people also often come to this Jiaofangsi, and even helped him out during a gathering, and they became familiar with each other after going back and forth.
Cao Jing smiled and said: "It seems that Brother Zhou is not in a high mood. Do you want us brothers to accompany you?"
Before Zhou Tingyu could speak, Xu Chuliang on the side said boldly: "It's boring to drink alone, and drinking too much can be harmful to your health. I've invited you to have this drink, and we two brothers will drink with you."
While talking, the two of them sat down unceremoniously.
I asked someone to refill the wine glass, ordered another bottle of wine, and ordered a few more hard dishes.
Zhou Tingyu naturally didn't care if someone was treating him, and he happened to have someone to talk to about his bitterness.
"Why do you think Yixiang is so mean? Half a poem sounds like bullshit, so I lured her away."
Zhou Tingyu picked up a glass of wine and said angrily and depressedly.
"If you want to become famous in one fell swoop and surpass all others by relying on half a poem by a scholar who has no fame, is there something wrong with Yixiang's brain?"
After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Cao Jing and Xu Chuliang looked at each other, and they already understood that Zhou Tingyu was probably deeply rooted in the memory of Xiangqian and could not extricate himself from it.
If he has feelings for a Jiaofangsi woman, this guy may have lost his mind.
Cao Jing then said with a smile: "Yixiang is indeed a beauty, with a fierce and big butt, but Brother Zhou, it seems that you won't be able to wait for Yixiang tonight.
How about this, brother, I have a maid who is very beautiful and has a strong waist and a slim waist. I will give her to you directly.
Don’t worry, she is definitely a yellow flower girl and I guarantee your satisfaction.”
Yellow flower girl! Beautiful! Big and thin waist!
These words made Zhou Tingyu's drunkenness disappear.
His eyes suddenly brightened.
He just likes Da Xiang, and Yixiang from the Jiaofang Division is such a beauty that he often can't put it down and lingers among the mountains.
Now Cao Jing actually has a beautiful maid with a big waist and a big waist to give to him, and she is also a yellow flower girl. How can he not be tempted?
He looked at Cao Jing, "Is this true?"
"really."
Cao Jing said.
Zhou Tingyu looked at Cao Jing, stared at it for a few seconds, and then said in a calm tone: "No reward for no merit, tell me, what help does Brother Cao want from me?"
Of course he knows that there is no free lunch in the world, only eternal transactions.
This Cao Jing wanted to give him a woman for no reason. He didn't believe it at all if she had no intention.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhou speaks quickly and is indeed a sweetheart." Cao Jing laughed loudly and said, "I really don't want Brother Zhou to help me, I just want to deepen our relationship."
Zhou Tingyu smiled slightly and looked at him, but said nothing.
Obviously, he didn't believe it.
Seeing that Zhou Tingyu didn't believe it, Cao Jing shook her head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I really just want to deepen my relationship with Brother Zhou..."
Zhou Tingyu raised his eyebrows, reached out to pick up the wine glass, and took a sip.
Seeing this, Cao Jing sighed and said, "Let's just think that Brother Zhou owes me a favor. Is that okay?"
Zhou Tingyu put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "It depends on how big the favor is and whether it's worth it."
Although he is a playboy, he is not stupid.
If Cao Jing opens his mouth like a lion, how can he agree to it?
Of course, he doesn't have to admit it.
But as the son of the Minister of Civil Affairs and a celebrity in Kyoto, if he doesn't have this reputation, then he will not be able to get along in Kyoto in the future.
Everyone is a respectable person, and he can't do anything like going back on his word.
"Brother Zhou, don't worry. We really want to make friends with Brother Zhou. Even if we ask for something in the future, we will get something else in return. Today's meal and maid are just a little expression of our brother's feelings."
Cao Jing said seriously.
Xu Chuliang also nodded and said yes.
Having said this, Zhou Tingyu finally felt relieved.
A smile appeared on his face, he cupped his fists and said, "Okay, thank you both."
Then he picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, brothers, I'll give you two a drink."
Cao Jing and Xu Chuliang quickly took the cups and said, "Brother Zhou, you're so polite. It's us who respect you."
While talking, the two of them drank the whole drink in one gulp, showing the bottom of the cup.
Putting down the wine glass, Cao Jing said with a smile: "However, I want to remind Brother Zhou first that this waitress is beautiful, but has a bit of a temper. You have to be mentally prepared. It depends on whether you can be able to calm down when the time comes.
Brother Zhou is on his own."
Zhou Tingyu was stunned, "She is a practicing practitioner?"
"That's right, but it's only in the body-building realm."
Cao Jingdao.
Zhou Tingyu smiled, "It turns out it's just the body training realm, so there's no problem."
He is at the eighth level of the Kaiyuan Realm, just a body-forging realm, and he can subdue him even with one hand.
Besides, Zhou Tingyu is very good at dealing with women.
Then he rubbed his hands and asked expectantly: "Where is she?"
"Hahaha, brother Zhou, don't be anxious. You go back first. I will send someone to kidnap you later. You can just receive the goods at home."
Cao Jing laughed.
It might be more interesting to play tied up...
Zhou Tingyu, who drank two more glasses of wine, suddenly felt impatient.
He immediately stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll go home and wait."
"Brother Zhou, please."
Cao Jing and Xu Chuliang stood up and clasped their fists.
Zhou Tingyu immediately left the Jiaofang Division. Cao Jing and Xu Chuliang looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
…
Banyan Tree Street.
Li Lu came out of Tianxiu Jewelry Store with a smile on her pretty face.
She just bought a bottle of perfume.
It smells particularly good.
She felt that if she applied it on her body, it would definitely attract the attention of her young master.
When Jiang Nan came back from Jiaofangsi before, she had this smell on her body.
But after being demoted to a commoner and entering this Cuizhu Residence, Jiang Nan hardly had time to talk to her except studying, practicing martial arts, or going to work.
She is like a transparent person.
This made her a little anxious.
Li Lu looked up at the sky and felt that it was almost time.
It's time to go back to the outer city.
I have to make dinner for the family when I get home.
But before going back, she had to buy a jar of wine and a pack of aphrodisiac powder.
Qilixiang is a famous winery in Kyoto. Their wine is mellow and full of flavor.
Li Lu often heard that men had sex after drinking, and she thought that if the young master drank wine with aphrodisiac powder added, he would definitely have that kind of interest in her. After all, she was the only woman in the family.
Thinking of this, Li Lu sighed slightly in his heart.
She knew this was a bad idea.
But the only thing of value to her is her virginity.
Only in this way can she have excuses to stay with the young master of the Jiang family.
Apart from this, she couldn't think of any other way for the time being.
She is already twenty years old, which is indeed a bit old.
Other women as old as her would have been married long ago.
If she doesn't have physical contact with the young master she serves, she's afraid she won't have a chance.
She is just a maid and a slave. She has a physical relationship with Jiang Nan and cannot have any status.
But as long as she has skin-to-skin contact, she feels she has an excuse to stay.
I heard people say that once a man has sex with a woman, he will often understand the taste and continue to ask for it.
As long as she keeps Jiang Nan interested in her body, it is not impossible to stay in Jiang Mansion in the future.
Although Jiang Nan was demoted to a commoner, he was always the only son of Prince Yong and the only grandson of General Zhenbei.
His status remains transcendent.
If she is lucky enough to become Jiang Nan's woman, it may be her greatest blessing.
On this point, she was as clear as a mirror.
Therefore, she must seize this opportunity no matter what.
Li Lu quickened her pace and walked towards Qili Xiang Winery.
When I turned a corner in the street, someone suddenly appeared from the corner.
Before Li Lu could react, someone covered her mouth from behind and was hit on the back of her head. Her eyes blackened and she fainted immediately.
