Chapter 23, Lady Nanban

Jiang Wangshu heard the sound of women laughing, went up the river, saw a few figures from a distance, and walked in and saw that there were three women, one was washing clothes, one was washing hair, and one was scooping water.

Jiang Wangshu hid behind a tree, watched the three of them talking and laughing, and guessed that the village of the Southern Barbarians should not be far away.

The woman carrying the water waved goodbye to the other two and walked deeper into the forest, Jiang Wangshu followed unhurriedly. This woman who carries water is also strange, she doesn't use a flat burden, she carries a bucket in each hand, and she doesn't see a drop of water spilled all the way.

"You've followed me so far, it's time to show up, right?" The woman said in a broken Jing Chu official dialect.

Jiang Wangshu didn't know Jing Chu's words, and guessed that the woman was not talking about herself, so she was silent.

A flying knife flew over, Jiang Wangshu turned his head to avoid it, and secretly admired this flying knife technique, both in strength and accuracy. Since it had been exposed, there was no need to continue to follow her, Jiang Wangshu walked out, took twenty steps away from the woman, and said, "I'm from Liangzhou."

"Liangzhou?" The woman's eyebrows were extremely beautiful, like willow leaves, more like flying knives, and she changed to a broken Liangzhou official and asked, "Did the Fang Kingdom also participate in the Southern Barbarian Dispute?" ”

Jiang Wangshu was confused by this inexplicable question, although there was a dispute between the Fang State and the Nanban, there had been no war for many years, not to mention that now the Qi people had flowed into southern Xinjiang, forming a buffer zone in the middle.

"The contemptible Jiang Wangshu, the prince of the country, has no offense," Jiang Wangshu smiled helplessly, "There may be a misunderstanding between us?" ”

"Misunderstanding?" The woman sneered, "Even the famous Jiang Hou is here, and they all want to take advantage of my Nanban rebellion to get a piece of the pie?" ”

As the words fell, the woman pulled out two short knives from her waist and stepped on the fallen leaves to kill.

Jiang Wangshu had a headache, and he was most afraid of dealing with such unreasonable people, but the woman had already raised a short knife to kill in front of him, and Jiang Wangshu could only draw his sword to resist.

The woman's knife skills are extremely good, and she pays attention to fast knives, and the two short knives stab each other, all towards the vital point.

Jiang Wangshu only used ordinary swordsmanship to resist, for fear of hurting this woman, otherwise the misunderstanding would be really big. The sword can be attacked and defended, and the surname of Dali Yao is such as Song, Lu, Wu, and Yue. and the Huthis and Jing Chu, which were inherited from the previous dynasty, were heavily swords; Liangzhou Three Kingdoms sword and sword parallel; Of course, long soldiers are often used in the army.

Iron smelting technology first appeared in the Central Plains, soon swept Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, nearly ten years Jingzhou iron smelting technology does not lose Yuzhou, and Liangzhou has always been remote, in recent years began to promote iron smelting technology, iron weapons and bronze in the army coexist.

Swords are most suitable for fighting, so the Dali Dynasty prevailed in the style of sword and sword.

During the fight, Jiang Wangshu found that the short knives held by the Nanban woman were all made of iron and had excellent workmanship. Nanban has always been remote, and thinking of the lame Jingchu words of the previous woman, Jiang Wangshu had a guess.

This woman was very skilled, and knew that she could not win with her strength, so she took advantage of the terrain and gave full play to the superiority of the short knife, and could not retreat into the mountains and forests with a single blow, and then attacked from behind.

Jiang Wangshu was a little annoyed, he thought that this woman just had some skills, but after the fight, it greatly exceeded his expectations.

Jiang Wangshu held his breath and listened to the footsteps with his ears, then turned around and handed out a sword, picking up a short knife in the woman's hand.

Jiang Wangshu admits that this woman's sword is very fast, but his Xinghe swordsmanship is also a fast sword, and it is extremely fast, and all will have a sword.

Star chasing was originally one of the eight famous (vessels) in the world, and it was a boutique made by Ou craftsmen. Ou Jiang has sealed the furnace, and no name (vessel) was born in the world.

In terms of iron-smelting skills, today's level is much higher than it was back then, but there is no such god craftsman as a European craftsman, how easy is it to forge a name (instrument)?

With a famous sword in hand, coupled with the swordsmanship of the galaxy, coupled with the amazing people in the world who are alone in Liangzhou, this sword flashes like a star.

The woman was knocked down by Jiang Wangshu's sword, and her horror flashed, and then another knife attacked.

Jiang Wangshu handed out the second sword again, and the second star light condensed on the tip of the sword, knocking down the second short knife.

"Jiang Hou really lives up to his reputation, if he wants to kill, he will kill him." The woman looked coldly at the star-chasing sword in front of her, and said resolutely.

"There may be a misunderstanding between us," Jiang Wangshu put away his sword and explained, "I'm here to find a medicinal herb." ”

The woman was still vigilant and asked, "Are you really not involved in the Nanban dispute?"

Jiang Wangshu shook his head, he didn't ask about the dispute between the Nanban, it was better to cause less trouble.

"I'm Nanban Lady Ji Yanqing, and I'm offended." The woman retracted her hostility.

Jiang Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this Nanban lady, Ji Yanqing, is not an unreasonable person.

"What medicinal herbs is Jiang Hou looking for?" Nanban Lady Ji Yanqing asked, "Please also move to the village to talk about it." ”

"There are still companions outside," Jiang Wangshu noticed some changes in Ji Yanqing's eyes, so he explained, "Just four." ”

Only then did Ji Yanqing retract his hostility and said, "I will send someone to pick it up, and ask Jiang Hou to move to the village."

Jiang Wangshu wanted to fight again, Ji Yanqing whistled, and dozens of southern barbarians rushed out from all around.

"Go and meet the four distinguished guests." Ji Yanqing shouted coldly.

The Southern Barbarian warriors looked at Jiang Wangshu with fierce eyes, making Jiang Wangshu feel like he was entering the tiger's den.

"If Jiang Hou wants to kill me, do you have to wait until now?" Ji Yanqing said coldly.

The Southern Barbarian warriors left, and Ji Yanqing refused Jiang Wangshu's help, inserted two short knives into the belt around his waist, and carried a bucket of water in each hand to lead the way.

"Madame," Jiang Wangshu said from the bottom of his heart, "the contemptible people have not noticed the warriors in the forest. ”

"Actually, as soon as Jiang Hou entered the Nanban, I knew about it, and I also deliberately brought Jiang Hou here," Ji Yanqing said with a smile, "I also heard of Jiang Hou's reputation, so I don't know how high I want to compete with Jiang Hou, and I am convinced." ”

Jiang Wangshu almost broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that his group was hidden enough, but he didn't want to be exposed under Ji Yanqing's nose as soon as he entered Nanban.

"Thank you Jiang Hou for your mercy." Ji Yanqing deliberately slowed down three steps and walked side by side with Jiang Wangshu, and said softly.

"If the contemptible person dares to make the slightest move, I'm afraid there will be no bones." Intuition told Jiang Wangshu that this woman was not easy to mess with.

"If I didn't know that Jiang Hou is not a murderer, I wouldn't dare to risk my life." Ji Yanqing confessed truthfully, and then stepped forward quickly, twisting his waist like a water snake.

"What does Jiang Hou think of Nanban?" Ji Yanqing asked.

"The mountains are good, the water is good." Jiang Wangshu did not comprehend Ji Yanqing's intentions, and replied truthfully.

"What about the man?" Ji Yanqing turned around and asked.

Jiang Wangshu felt that there was a colorful beautiful snake in front of him, although it was beautiful, it was deadly. He looked at his nose and replied, "The Southern Barbarian warriors are worthy of their name."

"What about me?" Ji Yanqing didn't plan to let go of Jiang Wangshu and teased.

Jiang Wangshu replied a little helplessly: "Madame's kung fu is good."

Ji Yanqing stopped talking, walked forward quickly with a bucket, and sprinkled all the way.

Jiang Wangshu didn't know Ji Yanqing's intentions, he could only pretend to be stupid, but I was afraid that it would be more difficult to get the Divine Dragon Wine.

On the main road, Jue and Qi Guanzhuang walked very slowly, but they couldn't see Wu Quji and Pu Yin following up. There was a fork in the road, and the two had to wait where they were.

"Childe, there are people." Qi Guanzhuang heard the footsteps of the dense forest and the friction of the leaves, a lot, guessed that it was someone, so he drew a knife to protect Jue.

Dozens of Nanban warriors appeared, and one of them chattered for a long time, and the two could only understand a few words, which was completely incomprehensible.

Dozens of Southern Barbarian warriors surrounded him, and Qi Guanzhuang shouted: "Childe, be careful, you will find a chance to run later."

Qi Guanzhuang was a little desperate, Jiang Hou was not there, he asked himself that he could not escape from the hands of dozens of Southern Barbarian warriors, so he had to prepare to fight for his life to open a bloody road for his son.

"Official, prepare to kill." Jue said.

Draw, out, sheath.

In an instant, the nearest Nanban warrior fell to the ground, blood spilling all over the ground.

"Childe." Qi Guanzhuang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Jue's hand really shocked him, and it seemed that there was hope for survival.

When dozens of Southern Barbarian warriors saw their companions fall to the ground, their faces changed drastically, and they changed the siege and killed, just wanting to chop these two strangers who didn't know what to do and what to do.

"Official, I will only do this trick." Jue waved the short knife to resist, and said helplessly.

Qi Guanzhuang's skills are not bad, and his knife skills are thick and sharp, but he has no discipline skills. After all, if you have been a bandit all your life, if you don't have some skills, I'm afraid you will already be in the belly of a dog.

Jue can only bluff people with one move and three styles, and the actual combat is not strong, so he simply picked up a Nanban war knife and waved it indiscriminately. Fortunately, in these years, he insisted on practicing swords and boxing in the morning and evening, although his moves did not grow, but his strength was not bad, and it was difficult for the Nanban warriors to get close to him for a while.

The group of Nanban warriors seemed to have some consideration, or were unwilling to fight to the death to increase casualties, and the two were in danger but could barely resist it.

Qi Guanzhuang tried his best to protect Jue's back, he was attacked on three sides, and there were four or five Nanban warriors who were killed and wounded under his sword, and he was also stabbed twice.

"Official, it's okay." Jue fought and retreated, and then retreated to a ten-zhang high waterfall, and the dizziness made him almost unable to hold the knife.

"Fortunately, the mosquito bit twice, and it didn't get in the way." Qi Guanzhuang gasped and replied.

"If you continue like this, you will definitely die." Jue shouted loudly.

"Childe, there is no other way but to jump." Qi Guanzhuang shouted loudly, barely drowning out the rumbling sound of the waterfall.

"Jump." Jue made a decision immediately.

Qi Guanzhuang handed out another knife, and then he jumped back into the deep pool under the waterfall.

"Shoot the arrows." A Southern Barbarian warrior gritted his teeth and glanced at the deep pool and roared.

More than a dozen Nanban archers took out their bows and arrows and shot towards the deep pool, as for whether they were hit or not, only God knows.

"Waste." The Southern Barbarian warrior glared at the dozen archers, picked up a stone and threw it into the waterhole. The rest of the Southern Barbarian warriors followed suit, lifting stones and smashing them into the deep pool, stirring up a column of water several feet high.

However, this waterhole was too big and too deep, and this group of Nanban warriors waited by the waterhole for half an hour without seeing anyone, so they had to drag seven or eight corpses away.
