After the strange purple-gray smoke was blown away by the wind, Weiming and Qi Li carefully returned to the original place. After finally confirming that it was safe, Weiming began to lie on the ground looking for the arrow he had just shot.
Seeing Wei Ming crawling on the ground with his butt stuck out, Qi Li's originally full affection dropped a few notches.
"These stinky men have to make themselves dirty to be happy. Who wants to be friends with them?"
Although she thought so in her heart, Qi Li would not say that.
Although Qi Li is an ordinary girl with no talent for martial arts, she knows too much about the hardships of her poor family since she was a child. Even for snacks, she can only choose inexpensive sour plums, black plums, etc. When she sees other rich ladies wearing
She would covet the golden hairpin for a long time at most, but she would never tell anyone what she wanted.
Qi Li's emotional intelligence is much higher than Wei Ming, who is still a teenager.
"Thank you for saving my life again." Qi Li said shyly to Wei Ming, who had finally given up the search and was covered in dirt.
"When the road is rough, draw your sword to help, it's a trivial matter." Wei Ming said this kind of quackery when facing girls. No wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend yet.
"It's a pity that the flowers in my hands are all smashed." Qi Li looked at her empty hands and said with a cry.
"It's better if you don't pick it again." Weiming said to Qi Li disapprovingly.
What a straight man’s answer, full marks.
"It's getting late, I have to leave." Qi Li was so frightened that she was not in the mood to pick flowers. She said angrily to Wei Ming.
"Go slowly and be careful on the road." Weiming waved to Qi Li, turned around and left.
He still has to go to Wangyou Valley, and now it seems he really needs to learn the stick technique as soon as possible.
Qi Li looked at Wei Ming, who was running faster than herself, and was so angry that she almost shed tears. How could anyone treat a delicate girl like this? What a nuisance.
Originally, Qi Li really had a good impression of Wei Ming, but now it has completely dropped to zero.
Wei Ming just now really shocked Qi Li.
Although Qi Li does not have the talent to learn martial arts, it does not mean that she does not have the vision in this area. As soon as the masked and knife-wielding bad guy took action, Qi Li knew that she was much better than her sweetheart Guan Wei.
Then, the bad guy with the knife attacked repeatedly, but in the end, he didn't even touch the corner of Wei Ming's clothes.
Weiming didn't know how to do martial arts in late autumn last year, but now in the middle of summer, he is so good at it.
It was really an eye-opener for Qi Li. She finally knew what type of martial arts talent she had.
In this regard, Qi Li is really the wrong person.
Every martial arts practitioner has his or her own growth curve, which is generally divided into rapid growth period, stable growth period, slow growth period, and bottleneck period. The length of the rapid growth period almost determines the highest level of a character's martial arts ability.
.
Although there are some who finally become a generation of masters through long-term stable growth and slow growth, after all, human life is limited, and ordinary people's bodies will start to decline after they are fifty years old. How can someone like Wu Xiazi grow up to be eighty years old?
There are only a few people who can still sit firmly in the position of super masters since ancient times.
Wei Ming's period of rapid growth is very long, and he is still in the period of rapid growth since he joined Xiaoyao Valley.
Wu Xiazi discovered very early that this apprentice's talent in martial arts far exceeded that of his two senior brothers, and he would definitely be the one with the highest achievements in martial arts in the future.
Although Wei Ming had only been in the valley for a few months, Wu Xia Zi treated Wei Ming equally and did not keep any secrets in martial arts. He passed on a set of [Small Wuxiang Kung Fu] to Wei Ming.
It's just that he didn't know that this new internal skill hadn't been practiced to a small degree yet, and the one that was still functioning in today's battle was the [Xiaoyao Kung Fu]. Otherwise, he would have been much more difficult to provoke by using [Small Wuxiang Kung Fu] in conjunction with Drunken Fist.
Weiming carried his bow and ran wildly. By the time he arrived at Wuyou Valley, it was almost dark. If he had delayed a little longer, he would have had to walk on the cliff path at night.
Wei Ming found the Jiu Xian in the Valley of Forgetfulness. He apologized and said to the Jiu Xian that he originally brought him a small pot of wine today, but he drank it on the way. Then he explained in detail the strange knife he encountered on the road.
people.
After the drunken Jiu Xian heard Wei Ming's story, he stopped drinking. He picked up a branch from the ground and put it on his waist. Suddenly, the Jiu Xian waved his hand, and a half-moon slash appeared in front of Wei Ming's eyes.
"Wei Ming, can you see if this is the move?" Jiu Xian smelled of alcohol and was half drunk. It was hard to imagine that the extremely sharp slash just now was casually executed by him. If the move of the man in black just now was like this
It's so fierce that Weiming may not be able to escape.
"Yes, Master, this is the trick." Wei Ming nodded and replied.
Weiming has two masters, the teaching master is Wu Xiazi, and the teaching master is Jiuxian. Sun Wukong has two masters, and Weiming doesn't think this is surprising anyway.
If Huang Xiaoshi knew that such a thing existed, he would probably be jealous of him.
These days, if you want to teach you martial arts, you have a mentor who taught you martial arts. If you don't want to teach you, then you have a different school.
Damn, that’s too shameful!
After the wine master casually threw away the branch in his hand, the sharp aura on his body dissipated, and he became a drunken old man again.
Jiu Xian said to Wei Ming: "The weapon you saw used by the man is very strange. It looks like a knife but not a sword, and looks like a sword but not a sword. That's because it is not something used by the martial arts people in the Central Plains.
The person you are fighting against today is a Japanese, and she uses Japanese swordsmanship. Oh," Jiu Xian patted his forehead and said, "the Japanese like to call swordsmanship 'swordsmanship'."
"Japanese?" When Weiming heard this, he jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on. He shouted loudly: "Isn't that the Japanese pirates!"
When Jiuxian heard this, he shook his head and said: "Japanese pirates are Japanese, but that doesn't mean that Japanese are Japanese pirates. It's like there are bandits among the Central Plains people, but that doesn't mean that all Central Plains people are bandits."
"Oh." Weiming suddenly said, "But I see that she is wearing black clothes and a black scarf, and she doesn't look like a good person."
"She is wearing night clothes." After Jiuxian nodded, he said to Wei Ming, "But wearing night clothes in broad daylight does look suspicious."
After a while, Jiu Xian said to Wei Ming: "Recently, there seems to be signs of turmoil in the world. This is the time when your generation is in turmoil. Find a stick and I will teach you the Drunken Stick."
When Weiming heard this, he happily went to find a stick.
…
In a dark room somewhere.
"How about the new guy named [Hua]?" asked a voice that was so sweet that it made people feel cloying.
The person who asked the question was a woman. She had smooth skin and exquisite curves. Her beautiful facial features made her look even more charming, but her dress could no longer be described as bold.
If Yaksha's clothes are "shameless" with charm and temptation, then this woman's clothes are only "mean" with slutty words written all over them.
This woman is the Tianyi City killer [Lang].
Last time, after Yasha brought the four major murderers of the Tianlong Sect to a collective appearance, the reaction was huge, the effect was very good, and it was unanimously recognized by everyone in the martial arts world.
Therefore, the boss of Tianyi City also felt that he should clean up his killers and form a new assassination team. At the same time, he could also do some external publicity work.
Although our line of work is mainly low-key, we still need to build our own brand.
But the boss of Tianyi City really doesn't have many good players at the moment, so he only pulled out three after much tossing.
I don’t know why, but the people of the Central Plains are particularly concerned about the number "four", so the boss of Tianyi City simply added a newbie with great potential, and reluctantly formed a four-person team of "Langdu Crazy Flower", responsible for high rewards.
Operation gold.
The leader of the "Vicious Crazy Flower" team is the killer [Lang].
This [Lang], no matter how she looks now, she looked like this many years ago.
Cough, cough, it means that [Lang] is not as young as she looks.
Ever since [Lang] learned a set of [Wanhua Li Jing] internal skills that can harvest yang and replenish yin, he has always maintained his youthful and beautiful appearance. Even [Poison], who has been in Tianyi City for a long time, does not know that [Lang]
How old is [Lang]? He just calculated based on his own experience that [Lang] is at least an old witch.
Now, [Poison] is reporting the test results of the newcomer [Flower] to [Lang].
What [Flower] didn't expect was that [Poison] not only didn't leave just now, but was secretly observing her every move from a distance; what [Flower] didn't even know was that the unknown accident actually saved her life.
Life.
After hearing [Lang]'s question, [Poison] shook his head and said: "The strength is not bad, but I am a little afraid of fighting when facing strong enemies."
[Poison] gave [Hua] the order to kill Qi Li and then pretended to leave. [Hua] drew out her sword and rushed towards Qi Li, but suddenly a disruptor appeared.
This man was very skilled in martial arts, and his drunken fist skills were superb. [Hua] fought with him for a while and was beaten into confusion, so [Hua] chose to evacuate.
This is the whole thing that [Poison] saw, because [Hua] had just turned fourteen, and this was her first time fighting with someone, so [Poison] evaluated [Hua] as "fear of fighting"
.
If Wei Ming did not show up at that time and [Hua] directly knocked Qi Li unconscious with the back of the knife, then she would be evaluated as "disobeying orders".
"Fear of war" is just a matter of ability, which can be overcome through training, while "disobedience to orders" is a matter of loyalty, which can only be eradicated once it occurs.
Hearing [Poison]'s report and evaluation of [Flower], this was no surprise to [Lang]. So what if he was [Attendant]'s apprentice? He was not just a young girl.
After thinking for a while, [Lang] said to [Poison]: "This operation is important, you and [Kuang] will act together. As for [Kang], I will come and talk to him personally."
[Poison] nodded and said no more.
To be honest, although anyone who cooperates with him will kill people, [Poison] does not want to cooperate with [Crazy]. It should be that no one in the entire Tianyi City wants to cooperate with [Crazy].
Because [Crazy] is a madman.
[Crazy] After killing the target, he often kills the target's family members and people around him. If he is not satisfied after killing all these people, he will start attacking people when he sees them. If he really can't find any passers-by, [Crazy]
】You can’t help but attack your teammates around you.
It has only been a few months since Tianyi City reopened and resumed business, and the number of killers killed by [Crazy] was in double digits.
Some time ago, the Lord of Tianyi City finally couldn't help but get angry. He personally punished [Kuang] once and warned [Kang] that if he deliberately attacks his teammates next time, the Lord of Tianyi City will beat him to death with his own hands.
Under the pressure emanating from the super master, [Crazy] finally felt the fear from his heart. Since then, he has restrained himself a lot, but he still likes to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
[Poison] likes killing people silently. Although he is not afraid of [Crazy], he really doesn't want to work with [Crazy], mainly because their styles are extremely incompatible.
But [Poison] himself also knows that his outer martial arts can only be described as superficial, so this operation must match him with a teammate who is good at outer martial arts.
Coincidentally, [Lang] is also good at silent assassination, and her outer martial arts are not good either.
In fact, if I could choose my own teammates, [Poison] would still want to choose [Flower], even if I look like a mutated monster, who doesn't like young and beautiful girls.
Well, neither [Lang] nor [Crazy] like it.
[Lang] is so jealous when he sees beautiful young girls that he wants to kill them. [Crazy] Not to mention, he just wants to beat any living person to death.
But since it is an organizational order, it must not be violated.
Because this bounty target is very rare to assassinate a first-class master.
The Lord of Tianyi City established the "Poisonous Flowers" group just to deal with this high-value target.
The last time [Poison] and [Lang] worked together, the total reward for the deal in Luoyang City was only a mere hundred taels of silver.
There was no way. Tianyi City had been uprooted and completely destroyed. The killers of Tianyi City had been killed and injured. The new Lord of Tianyi City had spent many years of hard work to rebuild Tianyi City.
The newly opened Tianyi City is now facing many difficulties.
The first is the lack of killers.
Cultivating killers is actually similar to cultivating martial arts masters. Both require a long time to cultivate talents. That is because Tianyi City is currently short of manpower, so [Crazy] and newcomers [Hua] who have become monks on the way can quickly come forward and be reused.
The second problem is that Tianyi City’s reputation is not good.
People are forgetful, especially for an organization that has been flattened by others before. People obviously lack confidence in Tianyi City.
Therefore, Tianyi City now needs to make a big deal to boost its reputation among the people.
So, this order came at just the right time.
It's just that this master's external martial arts is very powerful. It doesn't just rely on a large number of people. Therefore, the core of this assassination mission is [Poison]. Just in case, a person with strong martial arts skills is needed to cooperate with [Poison].
] Come and take action.
According to the intelligence, the last few days have been the easiest window for the target to attack. After the Lord of Tianyi City issued the assassination order, [Poison] began to seize the time to prepare new poisons.
"A first-class master? I look forward to your death."
…
[Lang] Although she no longer goes out to work, she is still very busy.
While [Poison] and [Crazy] are on missions, [Lang] should properly train the newcomer [Flower], teach her to obey orders, and feel for herself what the price will be if the mission is not completed.
[Lang] enjoys this kind of thing.
…
Talk about this.
After the fierce battle with Heifeng Village, the caravan never encountered any other troubles. In mid-May, the caravan finally arrived in Wuhan.
After finding someone from the government, I submitted the delivery list and goods, and spent another day counting them one by one. Finally, I got the word "Received" and the seal of the Wuhan government on the hand letter.
The other caravans and porters were not in a hurry to return. They had to wait until the next shipment to Luoyang was ready before starting their journey. Guan Wei and the people from the Changhong Escort naturally stayed in Wuhan to wait, so Huang Xiaoshi took Shennong with him.
The people from Baicaomen returned empty.
In late May, Huang Xiaoshi finally returned to Luoyang after being away from home for a long time. When he was about to take a good rest for a few days, someone from the Tianlong Sect took the initiative to come to his door.
