Several people saw Jiang Nan escorting an injured young man back, still holding a bow in his hand, looking at each other, and there was a faint guess in their hearts. It was Xiao Cui, who got up and walked over quickly.

"Childe, who is this?" Xiao Cui looked at the young man who was pressed to the ground by Jiang Nan and asked suspiciously.

After getting along for a long time, I found that Jiangnan was different from others, I didn't put a shelf in front of me, it was good for myself, and I taught myself martial arts, Xiaocui was not as afraid of him as before, and even the word "Jiang" was saved, and he was called "Gongzi" directly, which seemed much more cordial.

Everyone also knew that on the way back, they would not live in peace, although they fell asleep because of exhaustion, but their hearts were also tense, and they did not sleep deeply, and they woke up at the slightest noise.

When they saw the young men pressed to the ground, they whispered to each other. After a while, everyone woke up one after another.

Yao Zhankui woke up late, I don't know if it was because of the master's words, or because Jiang Nan was beside him and slept very soundly, maybe the latter was more reasonable.

Jiang Nan didn't know if he had saved his relationship, Yao Zhankui subconsciously trusted Jiang Nan extraordinarily, as if as long as he was there, he would not be in danger.

Looking around suspiciously, seeing that everyone was pointing and talking about it, Yao Zhankui looked in the direction of his finger, and saw Jiang Nan tying an injured young man to a tree with his back hand, he froze for a moment, was a little dazed, and got up and walked over.

Jiang Nan casually pointed at the tied young man and asked, "Big brother, do you know this person?" ”

Yao Zhankui looked at the young man left and right repeatedly, thought about it carefully, and remembered that he had never seen this person, and said puzzledly: "I don't know." Who is this? ”

"Just now, when we were resting, I went around to look around, and found this man approaching us with a bow and arrow, and his appearance was very suspicious, so I captured him. Maybe the bandits sent them to fight the front station. ”

Jiang Nan explained briefly, and handed the confiscated bow and arrow to Yao Zhankui.

"This is the bow and arrow he used, big brother, look at it, can you see any clues?"

Yao Zhankui knew at a glance that this bow was a military standard, and so was the quiver, and only the arrow was homemade. His brows furrowed, he thought for a moment, and said:

"Bows and quivers are military, but arrows are not. It may be that he picked it up, or it may be that someone is suspicious and confuses the public. It's really hard to say. ”

"Does the eldest brother have any enemies in Zhichong Mansion?"

Since it was military, Jiang Nan immediately thought of Zhichong Mansion and asked in a low voice.

Yao Zhankui was stunned for a moment, and laughed softly: "When it comes to entanglements of interests, how can there be no contradictions?" But there should be no one who wants to take my life. Your eldest brother and I are in Zhichong Mansion, there is a lieutenant to protect me, and there is a Taishou to take care of outside, once the matter is revealed, I will lose my head if I kill my colleagues. ”

When Jiang Nan heard this, he thought to himself, it would be difficult to do it if it wasn't for the people in the Zhichong Mansion, so he could only start with this young man.

"What's your name? What are you doing here, where did the bow and arrow come from? Jiang Nan glared at the young man and asked in a deep voice.

"Phew!" The young man spat on the blood and turned his head away with a straight face.

Seeing this, Pang Qing, the deputy butler, slapped him with a slap, and with a snap, he slapped his head back, and his cheeks became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Jiang Gongzi is asking you! You give me an honest answer, otherwise you will suffer. ”

The young man was also angry, gritted his teeth and glared at Pang Qing angrily, without saying a word.

Pang Qing opened the bow left and right, snapped, and fanned several times.

The young man's face instantly bulged like a blown balloon, and a bright red streak of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Nan knew some methods of torture, but at this time, there were many people, and if he exposed too much, he was afraid that it would arouse suspicion, so he had to pretend to be helpless and stand aside.

Yao Zhankui frowned and fell into deep thought, this is not the first time he has thought about who did it, but he has no clue every time.

Not to mention the Folding Mansion, the competitors in the industry under their name also know their background, the death of the four sons, the attack on themselves, and the robbing of the cloth many times, there must be something related before and after, and the people who can have this power are stunned that the name in their hearts does not match, and they should not have such strength!

Yao Zhankui patted his swollen head hard, a little upset.

"Master, Jiang Gongzi, look!"

Pang Qing's surprised voice sounded.

Jiang Nan followed his fingers and looked, only to see dark red blood flowing from the corner of the young man's mouth, the young man coughed violently twice, his eyes widened, and in a moment, his head hung weakly.

Jiang Nan's heart was cold, who did Yao Zhankui offend? actually raised the dead, and chose to commit suicide after the matter was revealed. I thought it was a colleague or a business competitor in the Ojichong Prefecture who did it, but now it seems that things are much more than that.

Thinking about it, my head sank, buzzed, and fainted. Again? Jiang Nan thought to himself.

"Childe! You're awake! Scared the hell out of me! ”

Xiao Cui's cry of surprise sounded in her ears, Jiang Nan looked at her red and swollen eyes, pear blossoms with rain, I saw the pitiful look, and my heart was extremely warm.

"Where is this? How long have I been in a coma? Jiang Nan looked around suspiciously and asked.

It was a small wooden house, larger than the thatched hut I had originally lived in, but not much better.

"This is Longbridge Town, and you've been in a coma for more than three hours. After you fainted, the old man found a doctor on the road to show you, and the doctor said that you were just frightened, nothing serious, just take a rest. The master was worried that something would happen without you taking care of him, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and we rushed here without drinking any water all the way. There lived an old man in this house, and gave him twenty cents, and rented his yard for one night, and he went out to find a place to live, and now only our people are here. The lord said that this town is relatively large, and the thieves should not be so rampant and rob in public. Seeing that Jiang Nan woke up, Xiaocui kept talking excitedly.

Three hours is six hours, and I used to be in a coma for more than ten hours every time, but it seems that now my body is beginning to adapt to this situation, and the time of coma is shortened, and it will be shorter in the future, and I won't even be in a coma, Jiang Nan thought to himself. The quack doctor actually said that he was stunned, and at this level, he was embarrassed to treat people.

"Where's my eldest brother?" Jiang Nan sat up and asked.

"The master is afraid that the thieves will come again at night, so he is going to arrange for people to take turns on duty at night, and he is arranging it in the yard. - Oops! You're already awake, I'll tell you the news right away. After Xiao Cui explained, she screamed, got up and ran out.

Jiang Nan was about to raise her hand to stop her, but she had already gone out in a hurry, so Jiang Nan had no choice but to get up and walk out.

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, Jiang Gongzi, who was praised by the master and had strong martial arts, was afraid of death, and his courage was too small. Seeing him come out at this time, everyone's eyes were a little less afraid and more close, it turned out that he was also an ordinary person, and he also had something to fear.

If Jiang Nan knew what they were thinking at this time, he was afraid that he would cry and laugh, and he couldn't pull everyone to explain that I wasn't afraid of the dead, I just met a ghost who would be in a coma when he read his memory.

"Brother Xian, are you awake, are you okay?" Yao Zhankui asked with concern, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It's okay, just get some sleep." Jiang Nan replied helplessly.

As soon as I saw his expression, I guess I thought I was scared by the dead young man and fainted. Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, there is nothing to explain.

Sit down on a random rock and listen to how they set it up for the night.

"We can select a few people to be on duty at night, and the thieves will shout when they come." One of the housekeepers suggested.

"Hmmm! I think it's okay, it's better to sleep less at night than to lose your life. Another chimed in.

"Thieves have weapons, we don't have anything!" A family member who has experienced being robbed said.

"Yes, big brother, why don't we prepare a knife?" Jiang Nan also felt that what Jia Ding said just now made some sense, and asked out loud.

"Virtuous brother! You really don't remember! Where did the knife come from? Yao Zhankui sighed and said.

After his explanation, Jiangnan learned that after the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Liang confiscated all weapons into the treasury in order to prevent people from making trouble, and legislated that private individuals were not allowed to mine iron ore; All blacksmith shops must be registered with the government and approved before they can make ironware, but they must be household utensils, and the consumables and users of each ironware must be recorded in detail for verification; Anyone who makes a private iron weapon will be killed. Therefore, only the special departments of the imperial court can make weapons, and only the army and the government can use them.

After listening to his explanation, Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, and made another fuss. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, the people who chased and killed Yao Zhankui last time were all armed with steel knives, and they were obviously not ordinary people.

"In that case, let's go to the nearby forest and chop more wooden sticks, sharpen one end, and make a wooden gun, which can defend yourself to some extent, better than with bare hands." Jiangnan suggested.

"Good! Do as you say! Yao Zhankui patted his thigh and said, beckoned Pang Qing and told him to arrange it.

"Try to cut new ones on the trees, so that there is enough water in them and they are strong; Don't do it, it's too dry, it's brittle, it's not strong. Jiang Nan added on the side.

Although Yao Zhankui is a master, he is different from the family Ding, but he is very open-minded, patiently listens to everyone's discussions, and writes down useful suggestions.

Not to mention Jiangnan, there is no idea of respect and inferiority in this world at all, and he is well versed in the truth that the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, so he talks less and listens more. Some people's suggestions are good, but when their thinking is not clear, they think about how to improve it.

In this way, a preliminary plan for the enemy was born in the collective efforts of the people.

Divide the family into two groups, and the number of strong people in each group who know how to fight and kick is as equal as possible, and everyone has a wooden spear, which is distributed around the courtyard, and the thieves will loudly remind everyone that the two groups will be exchanged when the time comes, so that everyone will have time to rest, and they can also watch out for thieves.

After the arrangements were made, Jiang Nan persuaded Yao Zhankui to rest, his martial arts were close to his body, and he was still full of energy the next day after meditating and pranayama for one night. Yao Zhankui didn't refuse, got up and went back to the room.

Jiang Nan sat on the ground and began to practice pranayama. Seeing this, Xiao Cui also sat beside him, cross-legged pranayama.
