Chapter 529: The Demons Dance
Mu Lanxiang is waiting for this opportunity, she and Iga Shibei have fought hundreds of moves, and have gradually figured out the other party's martial arts routines, since childhood practice and the past ten years of experience, has already drawn inferences from the little junior sister, and the ability to learn in the battle has been perfected, although she has hardly seen Oriental martial arts before, let alone ninjutsu, but has been in these hundreds of moves to keenly judge Iga Shibei's response.
The long sword in Mu Lanxiang's right hand quickly shook out three small sword flowers, knocking down the three cold rays that shot to the ground, and the scabbard in his left hand rotated horizontally, transported the internal force, and threw it like a sleeve arrow.
Iga Shibei was in mid-air, unable to dodge at all, and the ninja sword in his hand had been lost, and there was no room to block, he let out a terrible scream, and the scabbard began to enlarge infinitely in his eyes, and he was about to penetrate his body, blasting himself directly out of a huge blood hole.
At this moment, suddenly a gust of yin wind swept by, and a silent evil aura flashed away, and the meteor-like scabbard instantly stood still in the air, as if it had been immobilized, and then, this scabbard made of fine wenge wood, which was enough to accommodate the seven-star sword, was actually split in the air, shattered into pieces of wood chips, and then turned into a handful of wood powder, and then fell down.
Mu Lanxiang's flower appearance suddenly lost color, this skill is really incredible. With her skills today, she would definitely not be able to do this, and in the fierce fight just now. She didn't realize that there was such a master on the side, someone came to save Iga Shibei, obviously friend or foe, she retreated half a step, crossed the sword in her chest, and was on guard, but she shouted: "Where is the master." If you're here, why don't you show up? ”
Heavenly Wolf's heart also sank suddenly, he was different from Mu Lanxiang. Although he was also engrossed in watching the fierce battle between the two just now, when Mu Lanxiang made a killing move, he also felt that cold and evil aura, although he had only seen this aura once. But that impression is unforgettable. Yes, this trick is sheathed in the air, and the magic technique of destroying it into sawdust is not performed by others, but it is the son of Yan Song, the worst in the world, the old Yan Shifan of the small pavilion!
There was a burst of laughter, and a one-eyed fat man in a brocade robe, a gilded cloak, and jade bun walked on the road in the woods. The most striking thing was his agate blindfold, even in the dark of night in the woods. The evil aura that came from the soul could still not be concealed, and from the black aura between his eyebrows and the sinister smile on his face, it could be seen that this person was by no means a good person.
The last time Mu Lanxiang saw Yan Shifan once in the dark night in the Mongolian camp, but it was too dark, and Yan Shifan was in a state of disguise, and then as soon as Lu Bing came, he took the opportunity to escape, so he didn't have a deep impression of this person, but he vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you, why do you want to save this widow?" ”
A gloomy smile appeared on the corner of Yan Shifan's mouth: "Mrs. Xu, we meet again." ”
Mu Lanxiang's heart moved: "How do you know where I come from?" Why are you here? ”
Yan Shifan hadn't spoken yet, but a few applause sounded in the grass, Xu Hai's slender figure appeared from the grass on the side of the road, and there was also a cold smile on that handsome face: "I only heard the old shipowner say that Xiaoge's old martial arts are world-famous, but he didn't show up in the rivers and lakes, but when I saw it today, I really admired, Your Excellency's martial arts, standing alone in the world, Xu opened his eyes today." ”
As Xu Hai walked out of his hiding place, on the trees, there were Japanese ronins in the soil, Shangquan Xinzhi and Mao Haifeng also laughed while patting the soil on their bodies, Shangquan Xinzhi didn't look at Mu Lanxiang, and directly stepped forward to salute him and said: "Xiaoge Lao, why are you here now, originally we wanted to capture this woman for you as a meeting gift." ”
Yan Shifan's one-eyed eye moved back and forth on Mu Lanxiang's face and chest in a daze, seeing that Mu Lanxiang was furious, and shouted: "You are Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song?" ”
Yan Shifan smiled and nodded: "It is here, today I have the fate to see the demeanor of Wudang Mu Woman, it is really a blessing for three lives, hehe." ”
Mu Lanxiang spat on the ground hatefully: "Yan Shifan, your father is in the position of Zaifu, and he is favored by the country, and you yourself are full of poetry and books, but you actually colluded with the Japanese Kou, do you still want to be embarrassed?" ”
Yan Shifan shook his head in confusion: "This kind of military affairs, you are naturally a female generation does not understand, after hearing Mrs. Xu's reputation for a long time, I admire Mrs. Xu's character and martial arts very much, and today I dare to invite Mrs. to the house for a few days, and I have to talk to Mrs. about these family and country affairs." ”
Although Mu Lanxiang is extremely angry, she is not without brains, Yan Shifanlu's kung fu just now completely shocked her, this villain's martial arts seem to be far above herself, plus there are so many Japanese masters around her, she can't deal with it at all, and it's impossible to even get out, she began to secretly blame herself for why she was led here so easily by two Japanese robbers, so that she was in a desperate situation.
But after hearing Yan Shifan's words, no matter how stupid she was, she could hear the obscenity in this person's words, and she was so angry that her eyebrows rose: "Bah, shameless disciple, even if I die, I won't let you get your wish." ”
Yan Shifan smiled, didn't answer Mu Lanxiang's words, and turned to Iga Shibei: "Iga-kun, I've worked hard for you today, and I will try to make up for your losses." ”
Iga Shibei's eyes were shining with tears, but he was defeated in a battle today, his subordinates died, and he almost died under Mu Lanxiang's sword, if it weren't for Yan Shifan's rescue, he would already be a dead man at this time, and he had no bargaining capital, gritted his teeth, and said: "Xiaoge Lao, blame me for being incompetent, even this woman can't deal with it, save my life, I'm Iga Shibei remember eternal life, this compensation is forgotten, he has a chance one day, I must kill this woman with my own hands and avenge my brothers!" After saying that, his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the gloomy woods.
Yan Shifan shook his head, but there was no trace of disappointment on his face. He turned to Xu Hai and looked at it carefully, obviously this was his first meeting with this person. Yan Shifan put on a smiling face again: "Mr. Xu, come all the way to Nanjing, let's get used to it." ”
Xu Hai also looked at Yan Shifan without blinking his eyes, as if he wanted to see more content from this person's words and deeds, and when he heard Yan Shifan's words, he nodded: "Xiao Ge Lao, he is a Han in the next year." This time it's just a revisit, this time we originally designed to capture this woman as a meeting gift to talk about in-depth cooperation with you. I didn't expect you to appear at this time, which is really unexpected for us and others. ”
Yan Shifan laughed: "I forgot, before Mr. Xu joined Mr. Wufeng's fleet, he was a senior monk in Hangzhou Hupao Temple for a few years. I am no stranger to the world of flowers in the Central Plains. How about it, I haven't been back to the Central Plains for a few years, and I don't feel like I've changed much from before. ”
Xu Hai nodded: "There is a small pavilion to govern the entire Ming Dynasty, naturally it is more prosperous than in the past, especially in the southeast coastal area, this time we have traveled all the way, but it is very rich, and there is a lot of silk porcelain." Put so many good things and do not trade overseas. But it's really a bit of a tyrannical thing, Xiao Ge Lao, if we can let go of the sea ban, and we are responsible for selling these things to the countries of the East and the South Seas, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money. ”
Yan Shifan put away his smile and said: "Well, we have to think about it in the long run, of course there is no problem with our father and son here, but the emperor has always refused to let go of this mouth, and we don't want to say much, and you have been attacking coastal towns all these years, and there are always some Qing schools of imperial history played for this, now I will say that the sea ban and do business with you are not easy." ”
The corners of Xu Hai's mouth hooked, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ge Lao, in the past few years, we have rarely attacked coastal towns as openly as before, but when your Ming official army invaded us on a large scale, we will attack a few coastal towns to show our strength, strength is the basis for us to talk about cooperation on an equal footing, if we can defeat and eliminate the Ming army so lightly, now we don't need to talk about cooperation here, right?" Last year, the Mongols invaded, hit the city of Beijing, besieged the city for three days, only then did the emperor loosen his mouth and promised to open the border city, although our old shipowner could not hit the city of Beijing, but if the army was mobilized, it was still possible to go around the city of Nanjing. ”
Yan Shifan's words also revealed a hint of coldness: "Mr. Xu, I am very clear about your ability, but now that Hu Zongxian is in the southeast, it is not so easy for you to imagine that you have been driving straight into the country as before, if you fight a naval battle and cut off ocean trade, you have no problem, but if you want to say that tens of thousands of people can land to reach Nanjing, hum, is it really a paper paste when I am a million-strong male division of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Shangquan Xinyi saw that the two of them became more and more stiff as they talked, and there was a tendency to turn their faces, so he hurriedly interjected: "Xiao Ge Lao, Mr. Xu is used to staying at sea, and his temperament is a little rushing, you can take care of one or two, he means that everyone cooperates to make money together, not to have any disrespect for Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao." ”
Yan Shifan replied coldly: "Mr. Luo, I know these truths, I don't need others to remind me, if it is not profitable, I will not take this trip, a while ago the Mongols invaded, the emperor has already had a prejudice against my father and son, and recently there are people who have taken advantage of the fire to rob and collect evidence of corruption and perversion of the law by the people we recommend, although it has not been presented to the emperor yet, but it is only a matter of time. ”
Xu Hai didn't know about the affairs of the court, and when he heard this, his face changed slightly: "Xiao Ge Lao, this time you took the initiative to invite us to negotiate the mutual market, and now that we are here, you are telling us this, are you playing with us?" ”
When the wolf heard this, his heart was bright, it turned out that Yan Shifan had been in contact with these widows for a long time, and the eight achievements were after the last time Shangquan Xinzhi was arrested, Yan Shifan secretly established a relationship with the sea thief Wang Zhi, and this Xu Hai also seems to be a powerful pirate leader, plus that Mao Haifeng is Wang Zhi's adopted son, this Xu Hai is in the leading position in this negotiation, and it seems that he is at least the second-in-command of Wang Zhi's group, and now Yan Shifan is pouring bitter water, I am afraid that it is not that he does not want to open the sea ban, but it is just a means to raise the asking price.
Yan Shifan smiled, turned his head to glance at Mu Lanxiang, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, Mu Nuxia is here today, and we can't talk about it deeply, so it's okay, we'll talk about it in detail another day." ”
Xu Hai's eyes also fell on Mu Lanxiang, but his words were directed at Yan Shifan and said, "Little Pavilion Elder." This woman's martial arts are very high, and she has heard so many things about us today, so she must not leak out from her. ”
Yan Shifan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. The voice was terrible and harsh, startling the birds in the forest to fly wildly, laughing, and revealing a domineering and arrogant voice in his voice: "Mr. Xu, you can't trust my ability, can't even Mrs. Xu move?" ”
Xu Hai didn't speak, and stood with his arms crossed. Mao Haifeng on the side shouted: "Little Pavilion Elder, we know that your martial arts are high, but we are afraid that you will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." Let this woman take advantage of the loophole and escape. ”
Yan Shifan looked at Mu Lanxiang, and his voice suddenly became extremely soft: "Mrs. Xu, will you leave?" ”
Mu Lanxiang originally listened to their dirty deal, but he regarded himself as nothing. I was already so angry that I was smoking. It's just that the enemy is strong and I am weak, just now she was listening and on guard, and a pair of eyes had already been looking around, looking for a way out, as soon as she heard Yan Shifan calling herself, she instinctively prepared to sneer at each other, but a pair of eyes found that Yan Shifan's eyes revealed a strange light. And his eyes were suddenly inseparable from his eyes, gradually. I only felt that my brain became blank, but my mouth involuntarily said, "I, I won't go." ”
Yan Shifan's voice became softer, as if hypnotic with the night breeze: "Mrs. Xu, who do you say I am?" ”
Mu Lanxiang's eyes became dull, and she couldn't take her eyes off Yan Shifan's eyes at all, her red lips opened lightly, and she murmured: "Senior brother, senior brother, you are here." ”
Yan Shifan seemed a little surprised, but the light in his eyes did not decrease: "That's right, I am your senior brother, follow me back to Nanjing City." Let's go. As he spoke, he began to recite some strange spells in his mouth, and Mu Lanxiang's whole person was like a zombie, without any soul and life, and he also recited these spells, and a strange atmosphere appeared in the entire forest.
The wolf looked cold on his back from a distance, this Yan Shifan looked like he used some kind of magic to control the little junior sister at once, his ultimate magic skill is the ancient evil art, maybe he also practiced some kind of mind control soul control method, just now he had made up his mind, if Yan Shifan really shot at the little junior sister, he would fight for this life, and he would also show up to save him, but now Yan Shifan directly used evil magic to control the little junior sister, and now he had to find a way to restrain Yan Shifan first, and then force him to solve this evil art.
After Yan Shifan finished reciting the incantation, the evil light in his eyes was retracted, and he returned to normal, and turned to the silent Xu Hai: "Mr. Xu, it's just a small skill of carving insects, which makes you laugh." ”
Xu Hai shook his head: "I didn't expect that what Xiao Ge Lao learned was actually the ancient secret art, the soul transfer Dafa in the ultimate magic skill, Xu had only heard of it before, but today he can actually see it with his own eyes, it's really an eye-opener." ”
Yan Shifan's face also changed slightly, and he turned to smile and said: "Brother Xu is really knowledgeable, even he knows this, this soul transfer Dafa can only be used by people who are not concentrating and have regrets in their hearts, just now I saw this woman looking around to find a way out, a little distracted, this is a temporary idea, I didn't expect it to happen all of a sudden, but what I am strange about is that this woman is the wife of Xu Linzong, the head of Wudang, but just now she kept saying what senior brother, could it be that she still has another adultery?" ”
Several of the leaders of the Japanese robbers laughed proudly, the wolf in the distance was like a knife, and he wanted to go out now to kill the demons, but he could only lurk and move, he had already made up his mind, and after a while after these villains broke up, he took action to restrain Yan Shifan, although he couldn't beat him in the Mongolian camp last time, but this time he practiced thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises, and a few days ago he fought against Chu Tianshu, and his martial arts have improved a lot compared to a year ago, if he fights alone, there is at least a forty percent chance of winning.
After Yan Shifan and the others finished laughing, Xu Hai glanced at Mu Lanxiang, who was already like a walking corpse, and hugged his fist at Yan Shifan: "Today, according to the little pavilion elder, we will talk in depth another day, we are all in Nanjing City for a while, and you know where to stay, if you want to talk to us, you can contact Brother Luo at any time." ”
Yan Shifan nodded: "That serious matter, I also have to meet Hu Zongxian before I can discuss it with you, so you can rest assured that you can play in this Nanjing City in the past few days, and by the way, you can also see what goods are in short supply on the market, and you can do these businesses after the sea ban is opened." ”
Nobuyuki Kamiizumi suddenly spoke: "This time Iga Shibei has suffered such heavy losses, after all, he was recruited by us from the East, how is Koge Elder going to continue to get along with him?" ”
The corners of Yan Shifan's mouth hooked: "It's too insincere for Igari to cooperate with us, so he sent these second- and third-rate goods to the Central Plains to die, I know that their head Iga Tianchang has martial arts, if he comes in person, he won't lose like this, I think it's good, I will pass you to transfer five hundred taels of gold to Igari, as compensation for them in this operation, as for the matter of cooperation, wait for the next time they show the strength to cooperate with us, it's not too late to talk." ”
Nobuyuki Kamiizumi let out a sigh of relief: "It's so good, it's just that this woman has killed so many people in Iga, if the Koge elder can hand her over to the Iga faction, I think Iga Tencho will be grateful, even if he personally leads the masters of the faction to the Central Plains to help, it is also very possible."
