Chapter 34 The pinnacle of the rivers and lakes

In the carriage, Shen Qianyi was surrounded by the calming aroma of ambergris, leaning on the sandalwood table.

Shen Qianyi was thinking about what might happen next, although this time she promised to give out 1.5 million taels of gold, but in fact, she would not lose this transaction.

If there is an ambush on the road ahead, then this 1.5 million taels can hire a top master to protect himself in this wilderness, and it is naturally not a loss.

And if there is no danger ahead, then once she arrives in Qingzhou, with the wealth she has accumulated, even her two brothers together are not her opponents.

At that time, the position of the head of the next generation of the Shen family will be hers, and for the rich Shen family, a mere 1.5 million taels is nothing.

What she is worried about now is the strength of that young man, although he is definitely a top master who can leave an inch-deep mark on the Yin Gang Wooden Carriage, but to what extent Shen Qianyi does not know, and he is only one person, what if his fists are difficult to defeat the wolves.

Shen Qianyi regretted it a little, she knew that she would hire two more masters, even if it was possible to leak some rumors, but it was better than the strength of no resistance once the other party attacked.

What's more, if there were a few masters around him to protect him, he might not lose that superb pearl that was not simple, and he would not have been robbed by that young man who took advantage of the fire to take away 1.5 million taels.

In the other carriage, Ji Dang rubbed the sword that Yang Qing had left behind.

The floating red sword, the appearance of a gentleman's sword, this is the original Yang Qing specially ordered the swordsmith to make it like this, so as to play a better role in disguising his identity.

Although the spine of the sword is slightly thinner, the sword body is slender and covered with red cracks, and it seems that it cannot compete with people.

But it doesn't matter, this sword is a strange soldier made of rare and precious finger-wound steel, the sword body is extremely tough, between the soft sword and the hard sword, if it is subjected to great force, it will bend, and will not hurt the sword body.

And if it is not slashed by gravity, just like a hard sword, the blade of the sword is stabbed as usual, and it can be said that this sword has both the advantages of a soft sword and a hard sword.

However, this is also the use of finger-winding red-veined steel worth 10,000 gold, and if it is replaced with ordinary iron, it will only be a gentleman's saber that is extremely fragile and can only play a decorative role.

This sword is also the reason why Ji Dang only has more than a hundred taels of golden tickets left on his body.

Yang Qing had saved tens of thousands of taels of gold before, and most of them were used to buy finger-winding red steel. The rest was to hire a well-known swordsmith to help him craft the sword.

It is said that military generals love horses and martial artists are heavy soldiers. And Yang Qing loves this strange sword to the extreme, and the sword never leaves his body.

The floating red sword and the swordsmanship he knows are really tricky and vicious, and the sword path is strange, which makes people unguardable. This is why Yang Qing was able to kill the missing finger in his thirties.

But it's a pity that Yang Qing has only used this sword once, and he has no chance to use it again, and it is cheaper for Ji Dang.

And when Ji Dang disguised himself and mixed into the Zhu Mansion, he naturally couldn't bring a sword in, so strictly speaking, this floating red sword worth 10,000 gold had only been red once.

And now that Ji Dang is wiping this sword, he naturally wants to use it to meet the next big battle.

Ji Dang was excited when he thought of the big battle that might happen next, or he was excited when he thought of the value points he might get.

Ji Dang and Shen Qianyi thought the opposite. Shen Qianyi would rather have the 1.5 million taels of white flowers than hope that someone would really ambush them on the road ahead, but Ji Dang would rather not have the 1.5 million taels and that there would really be someone in ambush on the road ahead.

A large number of masters are indispensable in terms of value, and I don't know if Shen Qianyi's two brothers will come?

Thinking of this, Ji Dang's hand wiping the floating red sword paused, and his eyes narrowed. A big meal, no main course is not good!

Of the two sons of the Shen family, one is very influential in the Yizhou area, while the other can more or less influence the entire Western Wilderness.

Although the second son of Shen can't be like the boss of the Shen family, one sentence can decide the life and death of many people in Yizhou, but it doesn't matter, the Western Wilderness is big and there are many people.

So if you really want to talk about it, Ji Dang feels that if he kills the second son of the Shen family, the value points he will get should be much older than the Shen family. At this time, the second child of the Shen family didn't know that he had successfully overpowered the boss of the Shen family and became Ji Dang's primary target.

About seven or eight miles away from the Qingzhou state boundary, in the woods next to the avenue.

A big man with a scarface sat on a big rock and complained to a thin man in gray next to him: "It's been a few days, it stands to reason that the third lady of the Shen family should have arrived a long time ago, do you say that she didn't enter Qingzhou from this road." ”

The man in gray obviously didn't want to pay much attention to him, and replied succinctly: "Wait!"

And the scar-faced man obviously didn't understand that the other party didn't want to talk to him, and continued: "I said that you assassins don't like to talk like this, and it took half a day to collapse two words! Or is it that your Tsing Yi Tang assassins are special!"

This time, the man in gray didn't even have any interest in the word "collapse" outside, wiped a pair of short swords in his hand, and ignored the scar-faced man.

But obviously this is not the first time this has happened, and the scar-faced man does not feel embarrassed, and the man in gray does not talk to him, so he talks to himself.

"He was numb, he knew that Lao Tzu would not agree to the two brothers of the Shen family. If it weren't for them patting their chests to ensure that the other party didn't have any masters, there would be no danger. Just for the sake of a few taels of gold, Lao Tzu will not stay in this broken forest with no wine, meat and no women for several days!"

Then he glanced at a group of masked men in green clothes who were far away from the two of them, and continued, "Still staying with a group of dead assassins who don't open their mouths. ”

The gray-clad man next to the scar-faced man was also an assassin, but he didn't have any displeasure.

He knew that this Zhang Wuye beside him, the famous stunt tiger broke the golden knife, the moves opened and closed, unstoppable, and there were few opponents on the rivers and lakes.

And his personality is as famous as his knife skills, with a fiery temper and impetuousness! What he just said was to provoke the man in gray to fight him and relieve his boredom.

This is not the first time this has happened, but the man in gray has always felt that he can't distinguish between life and death, it is meaningless, and it is a waste of energy. So I have been ignoring his various provocations before.

But this time Zhang Wuye didn't feel annoyed, but the man in gray felt a little annoyed.

The man in gray threw out a cold sentence: "If you really want to fight, go fight with the one over there!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wuye subconsciously glanced at the black-clothed man with black hair who was leaning on an old tree not far away, holding a red copper long stick in his arms, and closing his eyes to recuperate.

One glance, just one glance, Zhang Wuye withdrew his gaze.

It is said that things gather by like, and people are separated from groups, and sometimes this is true.

The ordinary assassins of Tsing Yi Tang didn't dare to sit with Zhang Wuye and the gray-clothed man, because they were not strong people of the same level and had no qualifications, so they were far away from Zhang Wuye and the others.

And Zhang Wuye and the man in gray are not like this, they think that they don't have the qualifications of the big man in black to sit under an old tree, so they sit here.

Although Zhang Wuye has a hot temper, he usually doesn't pay attention to anyone. looks like the eldest and the third, but that's because the rivers and lakes are too big, and he didn't run into an existence that he couldn't afford to provoke.

Just like the man with the hair who has been living in the legend, Zhang Wuye didn't dare to stay on him for too long. Afraid that the other party would feel that he was looking at him and be unhappy, then Zhang Wuye would really be carried in this broken forest with no wine, meat and no women.

However, he was not so polite to the gray-clothed man Zhang Wuye, Zhang Wuye waved his hand: "Don't tell Lao Tzu this, you have the ability, why don't you go and learn from that person." ”

When the man in gray heard this, he also glanced at the big man with the big hair, with deep jealousy in his eyes, and stretched out three fingers to Zhang Wuye.

Zhang Wuye asked, "What do you mean?"

The man in gray replied, "Thirty moves! I should be able to survive thirty moves under that man!"

Zhang Wuye sighed disdainfully: "You can say that you can hold on to thirty moves as proud that you can win within thirty moves, and you are amazing." ”

Zhang Wuye sighed at the man in gray, but the man in gray was not angry, but laughed at Zhang Wuye's loneliness. Speaking of this big man with big hair, the man in gray is no longer the one who is not interested in anything.

"It's really fearless for the unknown, do you know that the one who is going to that station now is the pinnacle of the whole world. In other words, if you are the same person who is also using force to open and close the way, you can survive twenty moves, you are amazing!"

Seeing that the gray-clothed man's expression did not seem to be fake, Zhang Wuye asked: "Is it really fake, the pinnacle of the rivers and lakes?

"Hmph, the old monsters on the rivers and lakes? I'm afraid they have all become a bunch of old waste! Do you think those people are not born easily, they really look down on fame and fortune and retire to the rivers and lakes?"

"You don't want to think about how many years have passed since today when those people were at the peak of their prestige! At least they have been more than ten years, and a group of seventy or eighty-year-old men have lost so much in strength! And fifty percent of the strength at the peak is luck!"

"Whether it's internal or external, as we age, the body develops and ages. There are periods of rapid growth of strength, peak of strength, and decline of strength.

The man in gray raised his eyebrows and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that person seems to be in his thirties this year, and he is at the peak of his body!"

"He still has a powerful external skill, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is now the peak of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes. Maybe there are a few people in the world today who can compare with him, but it is estimated that he is still a little second. ”

When Zhang Wuye heard this, he couldn't help but wonder when he sighed: "Then how did you say that the Shen family brothers were invited." It stands to reason that when you reach that level, you don't want anything. ”

And this question obviously stumped the man in gray, and after a while, the man in gray guessed and said: "I guess it's something that can't be found, there are few in the world that need it." ”
