Chapter 483 Ranking of Masters in Jianghu
In early September of the 9th year of Jinghan's reign, the spring was bright and beautiful. A huge boat sailed upstream slowly through the Yangtze River waterway, with green trees on both sides. Occasionally, rice fields, farmhouses and villages flashed across the field of vision.
Ye Zixun stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands, admiring the surrounding scenery.
He came to the new world this time to relax. It wasn't until he discovered Ning Yi's existence that this relaxing trip turned into a classic case that can be recorded in the history of the alliance.
Now he and Li Yunzuoyu have submitted their applications.
Boss Lin also passed the review and allowed indigenous time travelers like Ning Yi to join the alliance.
The troublesome things were finally over, and he could finally enjoy the leisurely life of the low-level martial arts world.
This building ship is currently the largest ship that can be found in the inland waterways. Even if it goes up the Yangtze River, it is quite stable along the way.
The ship was divided into two floors. Because Ning Yi, Ye Zixun and others were bringing the pregnant Su Tan'er with them, they were arranged by the government in a room on the first floor where they could least feel the bumps.
Of course, Su Tan'er's pregnancy is just a more pleasant superficial reason.
What really matters is Ning Yi's contribution and his relationship with China.
After everyone arrived in Huzhou, a letter came from someone from the Secret Investigation Department sent by Qin Siyuan, the right prime minister of the current court. The letter praised Ning Yi's actions in Hangzhou and sincerely invited him to come to the capital to help again.
This time, Ning Yi did not refuse. He just said that he would go back to Jiangning first and deal with the trivial matters before setting off for Beijing.
On the other side of the deck, Lu Hongti looked at Ning Yi's profile and suddenly said.
"After I get off the boat this evening, I will go north and not enter the city."
Ning Yi was silent for a while and said softly: "I know you are eager to go back, but it's not too late for a few days. What's more, I still have some ideas that haven't been completely sorted out. You might as well stay and leave in two days. "
Lu Hongti smiled, shook his head and said: "No, I have seen the things you have sorted out, and these are enough... This time, I have been away from the village for too long, and I feel a little worried and worried, so I better go back as soon as possible. good."
"...Okay." Ning Yi sighed, "I will work harder tonight to sort it out and try my best to hand it over to you before you get off the ship."
"Thank you very much."
Lu Hong raised his hands.
Ning Yi smiled and waved his hand: "We are all children of Jianghu, there is no need to say such pretentious words."
Seeing Ning Yi assuming the free and easy posture of a knight, Lu Hongti couldn't help laughing: "By the way, I also wrote a small book for you. It's not the kind of secret book mentioned in your martial arts stories, but it should be useful to you. It’s useful, you started practicing martial arts too late, your muscles and bones are already set, and you probably won’t become a first-rate master in the future, but if you keep practicing, you’ll be able to defend yourself in three to five years.”
"...That's not necessarily the case!" Ning Yi smiled mysteriously.
Now he no longer practices martial arts and has turned to immortality!
With the speed of cultivation assisted by gray mist coins, after three to five years, it will be the late stage of Qi training, or even foundation building. By then, let alone self-defense, even the so-called Grand Master will only be able to fly a sword.
Although Ning Yi no longer needs any martial arts secrets, he still accepted Lu Hong's kindness.
"That's right." Recalling the description of the realm in the "Qinglian Changchun Kung", Ning Yi couldn't help but wonder, "You haven't said yet, what are the so-called first-class masters and martial arts masters in this world?"
Lu Hongti thought for a while and said: "The leader of Liu Village in Ba Dao camp, as well as the general manager Liu Tiannan, Chen Fan, Fang Qifu, and Li Tianrun are all top-notch masters. As for the grand master, Zhou Tong with the iron arm should be considered the best in the world." Recognized as a master figure.”
Speaking of this, Lu Hongti paused and glanced at Ye Zixun's back at the bow.
"...and then there are your three brothers."
"But I'm not sure if they are considered masters. After all, boxing is afraid of young people, and the same is true for masters. And this is the first time I have heard of such a young master... I guess Zhou Tong is no match for them in front of them."
Ning Yi said enthusiastically: "So Zhou Tong is the acquired master, and my three brothers are the innate masters!"
Lu Hongti was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Nature, day after tomorrow?"
Ning Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing. I'm thinking about setting a level for the world's martial arts masters. When the time comes, I will compile a booklet with a ranking list of martial arts masters..."
Lu Hongti wondered: "What's the significance of this?"
"That means so much!"
Ye Zixun's excited voice came from the side.
The two turned to look at Ye Zixun, who was walking from the bow of the ship.
"You are indeed eavesdropping..."
Lu Hong gave him a blank look, her face not very pretty.
Ning Yi smiled and said: "Third brother, do you want to be number one in the world, or third in the world?"
Ye Zixun said without hesitation: "Of course he is the best in the world!"
Lu Hongti asked doubtfully: "Can you beat Zuo Yu and Li Yun?"
Ye Zixun answered honestly: "I can't beat them...but I know they don't care about fame. When the time comes, fourth brother, you can just make some arrangements and give me the title of No. 1 in the world."
"……Yeah?"
Lu Hongti recalled Zuo Yu's appearance and couldn't help but have some doubts about the comment of 'don't care about false reputation'.
Ning Yi knew that Zuo Yu had an inconsistent personality and probably had a game mentality towards this kind of thing.
For him, it would be nice to be ranked number one in the world, but he wouldn't care if he didn't rank.
"What about the reputation of Jianghu?" Ning Yi asked with a smile.
Ye Zixun thought for a while: "I actually don't like Hong Tianlei very much. I'll change it to Shadowless Hand when the time comes, or you can give me a name that's more mysterious and mysterious...it can't be Jingshen anyway." A sword like this!"
Ning Yi smiled and nodded, agreeing.
At this moment, waves hit the hull of the boat, and several human-shaped black shadows flashed across the water.
Ye Zixun caught the movement under the water, raised his eyebrows immediately, and with a flash of silver light in his right hand, he took out a flying knife as if out of thin air.
The next second, Ye Zixun threw the flying knife in the surprised eyes of Ning Yi and Lu Hongti.
The flying knife cut through the air and penetrated into the water without causing any splash.
The sun shone on the water, and Lu Hongti keenly caught a flash of silver light. It was not the light refracted by the water, but a slender silver wire connected to the root of the knife.
"Come up here, you!"
Ye Zixun laughed loudly and pulled the silver wire with his right hand.
"thump!"
Water splashed everywhere, and a figure was pulled up by Ye Zixun, covered in water, and crashed onto the deck.
Ning Yi frowned and placed his right hand quietly on the handle of the gun in his arms.
Lu Hongti's face turned cold, he pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and put it on the man's shoulder.
"……Who are you?!"
The man was naked, only wearing a pair of tight-fitting shorts, and his limbs were tightly wrapped and bound by the silver wire. Every time he moved, the silver wire would cut his skin and sink into his flesh.
It was late autumn and the weather was getting colder.
It was fine when underwater, but once ashore, I was trembling with cold.
Coupled with the pain caused by the silver wire cutting the skin, the man's face turned pale and his teeth trembled.
But even so, he still didn't hum. Even if the sword was drawn, he didn't say a word. Instead, a trace of determination flashed across his face.
Lu Hongti's face changed slightly, and he immediately turned his sword and slapped the opponent's temple sideways.
"Snapped--"
There was a crisp sound, and the naked man rolled his eyes and passed out.
Lu Hongti quickly stepped forward, pinched the man's cheek, and used a slight force to remove his chin.
Ning Yi frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"...He's going to commit suicide."
Lu Hongti took off the back molars from the man's mouth, lifted them up and smelled them regardless of whether they were clean or not.
"It is a poison mixed with the sap of curare wood. It is extremely poisonous. People in the world call it 'blood seals the throat'."
"..." Ning Yi looked at the man in surprise, "He is still a dead soldier."
"Finally something interesting!"
A smile appeared on Ye Zixun's face, and with a flick of his wrist, the silver thread and flying knife wrapped around the man's body began to spin on their own, returning to Ye Zixun's hands in a way that was difficult for Lu Hongti to understand.
The next second, Ye Zixun threw the flying knife into the water again, and with a sudden lift, a figure flew out again.
This time, before Lu Hong could take action, Ye Zixun grabbed the other person's chin and spit it out with his fingertips. The poisonous rear molars flew out of the person's mouth and fell into Lu Hong's mouth. In the palm of your hand.
Lu Hongti was amazed by such exquisite power control.
But Ning Yi knew that this guy possessed the art of controlling objects and was actually a swordsman.
"boom!"
Ye Zixun threw the naked man in his hand onto the boat, and then took action again, catching all the people underwater, repeating the same pattern.
Unfortunately, they seemed to have realized that there were experts on the boat, and the two people they finally caught swallowed the poison early, leaving only Ning Yi and Ye Zixun alive.
"What do they want to do?"
"Of course it's ship-cutting!"
Ye Zixun replied with a smile. He turned his right hand and a chisel appeared in his palm.
Ning Yi raised his hand to take it, played with it for a moment, and suddenly said: "Third brother, someone wants the life of someone on this ship."
"Oh?" Ye Zixun asked enthusiastically, "Who is so unlucky to be targeted?"
Ning Yi looked at him and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, I always feel... it might be me."
"ah?"
Ye Zixun blinked and asked curiously: "Who wants your life? Is it the Chen family in the capital?"
Ning Yi thought for a moment and shook his head calmly: "No, Brother Wen Ren will not betray me, and he does not dare to betray me."
Ye Zixun frowned and said: "Who else could it be? We followed the path of the Tang family and took an official ship. If he dares to attack you here, in addition to having a grudge against you, he also needs to know the itinerary of the official ship." The connections, and the confidence to dare to take action..."
"You killed Mr. Chen from the Six Gates. The Chen family in the capital is quite powerful. It fits these characteristics best."
"Except for the Chen family..."
At this point, Ye Zixun's words stopped abruptly.
Ning Yi seemed to have remembered something. The two looked at each other with complicated expressions.
"...It shouldn't be him, right?"
"If it were him, it would be child's play to only send a few dead men to dig the ship."
Ye Zixun frowned and looked a little ugly.
Ning Yi shook his head: "Don't make rash judgments. Let's arrest them first. When they get ashore, I'll ask people from the Jiangning Secret Investigation Department to interrogate them and see if they can find out anything..."
Speaking of this, Ning Yi paused, looked at Ye Zixun and said: "If it is really him..."
Ye Zixun frowned and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he turned to look at the river.
I saw dozens of sailboats emerging from the river on both sides of the building, and the boats were filled with figures holding weapons.
It looks menacing and comes with bad intentions.
"I knew it……"
Ning Yi sighed and took out the platinum-colored pistol from his arms.
