Chapter 1135 Hand Warmer
The martial arts tournament continued. Due to the limited number of places, the fighting became more intense towards the end. Few people were injured in the first two days, but more and more people were injured as time went on. Five days passed in a flash. The martial arts tournament was a mess, and finally decided One, two, three, etc.
Jiang Hao from Huajian School, Ye Xiaofei from Wufeng Saber School, Cheng Xiao from Benlei Sword, Li Rusong from Wansong Villa, and Zhong Sledgehammer from Iron Fist School became the first class.
The loser left angrily, and the remaining seventy-five people all stayed in Wansong Villa. Several tables of banquets were prepared in the hall, and everyone drank to celebrate. , but it can be regarded as a future, isn't it.
On the second day, before people got out of their excitement, several sect masters called the crowd together again and announced something.
"Everyone, if you want to be an official, you have to do one more thing, and that is to write down all your martial arts methods and submit them to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will issue official awards to you." Master Liu said.
Martial arts are extremely cherished by martial arts, and some people quit immediately, "If you are a general, you should be a general. Why do you need our martial arts!"
"This is an order from the imperial court. Disciples from several of our sects have also joined and will hand over their exercises." Master Liu said.
Everyone was silent when they heard what Liu Yucheng said, but they were still reluctant to ask them to hand over their exercises obediently.
At this moment, a person stood up and said loudly: "Master Liu, I, Jiang Hao, would like to hand over the 'Huajian School' exercises. Please arrange a place for me to transcribe them."
What is taken in advance must be given first. In order to obtain other people's skills, Jiang Hao felt that he had to make a nest first.
Everyone saw that the person who spoke was Jiang Hao, a flower swordsman. This flower swordsman was not claimed by Jiang Hao, but someone here picked it for him.
Jiang Hao's martial arts can be said to be the highest here, the first five people, and the other four have fought against Jiang Hao, and all of them were defeated. Now that the strongest martial arts are willing to hand in, it is hard for them to say anything.
Owner Liu was overjoyed and immediately asked someone to arrange it.
I am most afraid that someone will take the lead, and the herd effect will occur, and other people will agree to hand over their mental formulas one after another.
After getting the pen and paper, Jiang Hao wrote down the four words Nong Hua Jian Fa. As for the mental method, that thing was at his fingertips for Jiang Hao. Although the 258 yuan bound book of martial arts cheats could not allow him to practice martial arts, it could be used to deceive people to confirm It is very useful.
After getting the martial arts mentality, Master Liu asked someone to send Jiang Hao and the others a certificate from the official. These documents were prepared before, and they can be used only by filling in a name. It seems that the other party has long been prepared. Jiang Hao took After looking at the official authorization certificate, the place to be dispatched is the Putuo Guard.
The Putuo Weisuo is the later Zhoushan Putuo. Jiang Hao has read the history of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, the official Japanese pirates were the most ferocious.
"Let us fight Japanese pirates?" Jiang Hao asked with the official award.
The others also went to the various coastal guards, and looked at Zhuang Liu together.
Master Liu said: "Everyone, the Japanese pirates are now causing disasters along the coast, looting and burning, and even breaking into counties to rob and kill people. Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangzhou are the hardest-hit areas. The Japanese pirates dare to go hundreds of miles deep and rob Nanjing and Hangzhou. It can be seen how rampant it is, now that the guards lack available personnel, there will be this competition recruitment, this is also your opportunity, otherwise how could the imperial court appoint officials so hastily."
Jiang Hao didn't have any resistance to fighting the Japanese pirates. He looked at the official certificate in his hand, and stuffed it into his arms to make room for it.
At this point when everything was over, everyone left Wansong Villa one after another, and Wansong Villa also packed the collected cheats into boxes, sent people to escort them to Fuzhou City, and sent them to Cao Shaoqing's military prison.
No one noticed, all this was watched by a hawk.
Cao Shaoqing flipped through the secret books inside, and said with a smile: "We have recruited warriors and collected martial arts skills. I think the governor will be satisfied with what our family has done. In a few days, he will be sent to Nanjing. It will be sent to the capital."
Back in his small courtyard, when it was night, Jiang Hao said to the two women: "I have important things to do, you go to bed first."
"My lord, be careful, Xiaoxiao will wait for you to come back." Xiaoxiao said with concern.
Jiang Hao pinched her face: "If it goes well this time, I will bring that Cao Shaoqing back for you to dispose of. If it doesn't go well, then I will bring his head and let you worship your parents and relatives."
night,
It was as black as ink.
A masked man in black rushed into a house, scurrying through the houses like a civet cat, and finally landed on a roof. He peeled off the blue tiles and checked to confirm that it was this room. There is a lock hanging on it. This kind of thing is useless in front of Jiang Hao. The iron piece is poked in it and it will be opened immediately.
There are two boxes in the middle of the room, which Yaoying has investigated before. These are the two boxes containing the cheat books, with a seal on them, and they are going to be sent away in two days. Jiang Hao waved the two boxes into the space.
After collecting the boxes and leaving the room, Jiang Hao jumped back to the roof, got the cheat book, and Cao Shaoqing was next.
Harrier Eagle also scouted Cao Shaoqing's room before, Jiang Hao sneaked over, listened outside the door, opened the latch with a dagger, and went in silently, when Jiang Hao approached the bed, suddenly there was a warning sign, a sword light Stab at him, extremely fast.
If it was someone else, it would be extremely difficult to dodge, but Jiang Hao's sixth sense gave an early warning, and he dodged the sword with a slight dodge.
The next moment, a figure flew out of the bed and shot straight at Jiang Hao. The sword in his hand shook countless sword flowers, which was extremely fierce!
"Little thief, dare to break into my room, die!"
Jiang Hao drew out the sword in his hand, and hit the opponent's sword flower with a slap, and the two separated in frustration. Cao Shaoqing was also taken aback. This man's swordsmanship was so precise, and through these two swords, Jiang Hao also detected Cao Shaoqing's Strength, should be able to enter the ranks of first-class masters.
In the past, Jiang Hao was definitely not his opponent, but after these days of martial arts training, Jiang Hao's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and now Cao Shaoqing is definitely not his opponent.
"Die!"
Cao Shaoqing yelled, and the sword stabbed again. Jiang Hao blocked two moves with the sword, not wanting to tangle with him, and shot a few darts. Point on the acupuncture point.
puff!
The point of the sword was only half a centimeter into the body, but the spiritual power injected into the body, directly sealing his acupuncture points, and Cao Shaoqing fell to the ground with a plop.
Looking at Jiang Hao in horror, Jiang Hao didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly injected the silver needle. This kind of dead eunuch has a very hard mouth, let him suffer first.
After about three or four minutes, Cao Shaoqing's eyes were a little loose, and Jiang Hao untied Cao Shaoqing, and when he woke up, he looked at Jiang Hao, his eyes full of fear.
"Where is your money hidden? If you don't tell me, you will continue to suffer the pain just now until you tell." Jiang Hao said lightly.
Cao Shaoqing was terrified of the pain just now, and immediately said, "I told you, the money is in the secret room."
"Where is the chamber of secrets?"
"I'm under the bed."
I tapped the guy's acupuncture points again, went to the bedside to search, and finally found a movable green brick. After pressing it down, the bed board turned to the side, and Jiang Hao went down slowly. The secret room is not very big, only a dozen square meters. What's inside is clear at a glance.
There are a few boxes in the middle, and an antique shelf on the wall. There are many treasures on the shelf, such as porcelain vases, jade vases, jade incense burners, jade bowls, ivory carvings, rhinoceros horn carvings, and a one-foot-long statue. Tall pure gold Avalokitesvara statue.
How did an eunuch get these things? They must have been bribed and extorted by force. Jiang Hao took the Bogu rack and the things on it together.
Opening the lid of the box, a golden light flashed under the candlelight, and there were all gold ingots inside, neatly stacked.
Jiang Hao estimates that the gold here is worth no less than 100,000 taels of silver. Fuzhou is an export port and there are countless rich merchants. Cao Shaoqing is an eunuch in the army, so it is no problem to search for this money.
take away!
After a while, all the big boxes containing gold disappeared.
Going back to the room and closing the secret door, Cao Shaoqing was still staring at the roof. Jiang Hao came to him, clicked on the acupoints so that he could speak, and asked: "Before you asked people to collect martial arts mental methods, do you want to use them?" Where to send it?"
Cao Shaoqing didn't dare to hide it for fear of suffering, "Send it to the Nanjing Imperial Palace first, and after sorting it out there, it will be transcribed and sent to the capital, and finally stored in Huangshicheng for easy reference."
Jiang Hao knew that Huangshicheng was the royal archives of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, also known as the watch library, where all the royal classics were stored.
"Let me ask you, who among your eunuchs has the best martial arts?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Of course it's Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, and that's my godfather." Cao Shaoqing glanced at Jiang Hao as he spoke.
"anything else?"
"Xichang Yuhuatian."
"Are there any hidden masters, such as hiding in the inner circle?"
Cao Shaoqing thought for a while, "Thinking about it, there are. How can the emperor not have expert guards around him? In this world, there are countless traitors who want to murder the emperor."
"What about the Nanjing Palace, are there any masters?" Jiang Hao asked.
Cao Shaoqing thought for a while, "Probably not. If there is a real master, I'm afraid they will be transferred to the emperor's side."
After getting what he wanted, Jiang Hao picked up Cao Shaoqing and went straight out of the room. With his feet on the ground, his body flew up and flew towards the outside of the mansion. The kite eagle chased him high in the sky.
After leaving the city, he quickly returned to the other courtyard. The whole process took only three or four hours. When he just entered Zizi, Jiang Hao threw Cao Shaoqing in the courtyard. Under the lantern, Cao Shaoqing's complexion turned paler.
Jiang Hao took off the black cloth covering his face, kicked Cao Shaoqing, unlocked his acupuncture points, and imprisoned his dantian, preventing him from using his internal strength.
Cao Shaoqing recognized Jiang Hao immediately. He had been to the Wansong Villa for martial arts competitions, and he knew that the man in front of him was Jiang Hao from the Huajian sect. On the ground, "Jiang Shaoxia, we have no grievances, why did you arrest me?"
"No injustice, no hatred, maybe not." Jiang Hao said lightly.
Su Xiaoxiao and Ping'er in the room heard the commotion in the courtyard, and they both came out with their swords in hand, "My lord, you're back."
Jiang Hao pointed to Cao Shaoqing, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Xiao Xiao, I have captured him, and now he is yours to deal with."
Xiao Xiao looked at Cao Shaoqing, her breathing was a little short, her eyes were full of hatred, "Evil thief, you have today."
"Girl, I don't know you well. There should be no enmity between you and me." Cao Shaoqing looked at Xiao Xiao and asked in a daze.
"Cao Shaoqing, do you still remember a man named Su Peng, that man is my father." Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said.
Cao Shaoqing knew that something was wrong, but still wanted to struggle, "Miss Su, there must be a misunderstanding here. I am the court supervisor of the army. Your father violated the military rules. It is the national law to punish him, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Don't quibble here. I know everything about that day. It's because you couldn't hold grudges when you asked for bribes. You deliberately made up reasons to frame my father. You ruined my family. Today I will kill you with my own hands and pay homage to my parents."
Xiao Xiaoxiao took a step forward, and thrust out the sword in his hand, piercing straight into Cao Shaoqing's heart.
"Ah~~!"
Cao Shaoqing screamed and fell to the ground, with blood spurting from his chest.
Xiao Xiao knelt on the ground with her back on her back, tears streaming down her face, and murmured: "Father, mother, daughter personally killed your enemy Cao Shaoqing, and I have avenged you, you can rest in peace under the nine springs."
He walked up to Jiang Hao again, knelt down again, and looked up at Jiang Hao, "Master, Xiaoxiao has fulfilled his greatest wish in this life. Thank you for fulfilling it. From now on, Xiaoxiao will follow you and serve you wholeheartedly. There is no one else. think."
Jiang Hao smiled, "Go and wash your face first, it's all wet from crying, I'll find a place to throw Cao Shaoqing away."
Carrying Cao Shaoqing's body away and throwing it into the ravine, the beasts and insects will clean it up, and when they return to the other courtyard, Ping'er has already prepared Jiang Hao's bath water and is waiting for him to take a bath, but Xiao Xiao does not come over.
Jiang Hao thought that Xiao Xiao was already asleep, so he didn't call her. After washing, he went back to his room, and suddenly found a person lying under the quilt on the bed, and he didn't need to guess who it was.
"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?"
Su Xiaoxiao quietly revealed half of her head, "It's getting cold, Xiaoxiao warms up the bed for the young master."
Although Xiao Xiao is his personal maid, Jiang Hao has never done anything to her. Xiao Xiao took the initiative to come here today, how can he win the woman's affection, if he refuses, she will be very sad.
It was indeed a bit cold today.
Although he is not afraid of the cold, who doesn't want to be more comfortable.
