Chapter 540: A Bloody Assassination
There are no powerful Jianghu celebrities or Jianghu gangs in Xiangyang.
Therefore, Jia Huan did not have to go there to visit.
For some reason, since he awakened his wisdom, he has lost much enthusiasm for communicating with fellow Jianghu people, even with Qiao Feng.
What he likes to do most is to study martial arts alone and explore the secrets of the golden finger.
Only those who can communicate with him in these aspects can get his favor and recognition.
On the surface, there are only a few people.
As for privately, there should be more than two hands!
Since he became the leader of the Beggars' Sect, he knew that the Tianlong world is not as simple as imagined.
There are masters in the royal family!
Song Taizu claimed that he was invincible with a long stick, but it was not a boast.
The Taizu boxing and Taizu stick techniques that are widely circulated outside are all simplified versions.
The full set of Taizu Changquan and Panlong Thirty-six Sticks are the secrets of the Zhao family royal family.
If there were no strong men in the royal family, how could the emperors of the Zhao Song Dynasty hold the power of the emperor?
In addition, there are also many top masters hidden in the world!
After all, it has only been a hundred years since the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
There must be many families with strong martial arts inheritance!
Even the Chai family, whose throne was taken away by Emperor Taizu of Song, also has top innate masters hidden.
Otherwise, Emperor Taizu of Song might not be able to wipe his face, but Emperor Taizong of Song would not have such concerns. It would be too easy to kill a pair of orphans and widows.
However, these guys are very hidden!
It is not so convenient for Jia Huan to come to the door to communicate.
He stayed in Xiangyang for almost half a month, mainly to understand the operation of Xiangyang Hall, and also to find the location of Jueqing Valley.
There is definitely a good place to be a hidden base!
Unfortunately, the Xiangyang Hall did not know that there was such a place as Jueqing Valley before.
It is said that the Jueqing Valley was where officials of the Tang Dynasty lived in seclusion with their clansmen and servants to avoid the An-Shi Rebellion.
So too, the martial arts of the Jueqing Valley have obvious traces of the martial arts of the Tang Army.
If they can find a place, the Beggars' Gang can completely build the Jueqing Valley as an important reserve talent training base, because the environment there is too suitable.
The special products of the Jueqing Valley, the love flower and the heartbreak grass, are things that cannot be easily touched in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of a genius doctor like Jia Huan, they are rare good things.
Even the special environment of the Jueqing Valley may be a treasure land for the cultivation of precious medicinal materials.
In short, the Jueqing Valley is a good place!
Fortunately, the Jueqing Valley is not an isolated place.
There are still many people living there. Even if they can be self-sufficient in food and other things, they have to purchase a large amount of daily necessities such as salt from outside.
As long as you observe carefully, you will definitely be able to see the clues!
After the investigation was almost done, Jia Huan led his entourage all the way south.
The development situation north of the Yangtze River is still OK, but it is not so good south of the Yangtze River.
Except for the towns along the Yangtze River, the rest of the area is all lush and green, and many mountains and forests are filled with miasma, and there are endless beasts and poisonous insects, and the environment is quite harsh.
In fact, in Jia Huan's opinion, many places south of the Yangtze River are very suitable for the life and reproduction of Bodhi Snake, but I don't know if it is true?
All the way is along the river, but there are also many robbers!
There is definitely no need for Jia Huan to take action personally, and the followers around him can be easily dealt with.
The disciples who can follow Jia Huan are all carefully selected by the headquarters.
Each of them has a solid foundation in martial arts and a pretty good execution ability.
Jia Huan only gave some pointers when he was resting and occasionally on the road, which was enough for them to absorb and digest well and get a lot of improvement.
It is estimated that when they follow Jia Huan back from Dali, their strength may be greatly improved.
These guys may be the backbone of the Beggars' Sect in the future.
When they arrived at the border of Dali, Duan Zhengchun, the King of Zhennan, was already waiting here.
With the power of the Dali Duan family, if they could not detect the identity and whereabouts of Jia Huan and his party, it would be a joke, and there would be no need for the Dali Kingdom to exist.
Duan Zhengchun was dressed lightly and had only three or two guards around him. This was a reception for Jia Huan and his party in the style of the underworld, which was normal.
People in the underworld were casual in their behavior and were not used to the cumbersome official etiquette.
"I haven't seen you for years. Boss Jia is even more charming than before!"
"You're too polite. I can't compare to Lord Duan, who is so cool and unrestrained. I'll have to trouble you in Dali!"
"Haha, Boss Jia, you don't have to be polite. We are all fellow martial artists. Since Boss Jia has come to Dali, the Duan family will naturally play the role of host!"
Duan Zhengchun was quite straightforward. Seeing that the atmosphere was good, he asked directly: "I wonder if Boss Jia has any specific purpose in coming to Dali?"
"Let's go to Tianlong Temple to pay respect to the monks first!"
Jia Huan also answered in the way of thinking of a martial artist: "After that, I'll have to trouble you, Lord, to help find a sect called Shennong Sect!"
Since someone dares to call himself Shennong Sect, he must have unique methods in the field of medicinal materials.
This is in Dali in the southwest. Maybe Shennong Sect also has the ability to cultivate and train poisonous insects and snakes.
In the southwest, such things are quite normal!
Except for the towns, there are dense forests everywhere, and the air is warm and humid. This place is known as a place with four seasons like spring.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise for poisonous snakes and insects.
If the forces that survive here do not have some targeted means, they will not be able to survive at all.
The Beggars' Sect at the moment really needs talents in this area!
Not only because of the Bodhi Snake, but also because of the Five Poison Sect inheritance brought by Jia Huan from the Smiling Proud World, it also needs forces like the Shennong Sect to help test and verify.
The formula for brewing "Five Treasures Honey Wine" alone is worth Jia Huan's personal effort.
In the Smiling Proud World, a jar of "Five Treasures Honey Wine" weighing five pounds can help the drinker improve his skills for about five years, which is quite exaggerated.
I believe that in the Tianlong World, the effect will be even more amazing if it is prepared with better "Five Poisons" materials.
As long as the experiment is successful, the Beggars' Sect can mass-produce such a good treasure.
"Shennong Sect? I've never heard of it!"
Duan Zhengchun shook his head, his face very natural: "Don't worry, Boss Jia, as long as there is such a gang in Dali, Duan will definitely help find it!"
"Thank you, Prince Duan!"
"Go to hell, you unfaithful man!"
Just when Jia Huan was being polite, a black horse suddenly rushed out from not far away on the official road, and the rider on the horse was a plump and charming beauty in tight clothes.
The pretty face of the tight-fitting beauty was frosty, and a black light shot out with her right hand, heading straight for Duan Zhengchun's... shoulder!
