Chapter 94 - Secret Meeting of the Shouli City
The battle between Xiang Shaolong and Xiang Shaolong was a spar between warriors without any achievements. As the inheritor of this generation of the New Underworld, Yepingtai had traveled across all the mountains and rivers of Japan and had seen many different types of people in the Japan.
When Yepingtai realized that it was difficult to advance on the path of martial arts in the Japan, he started to look overseas. He longed for China, longed for the Western Ocean, longed to use his eyes to observe the world and comprehend the way of nature.
Originally, Japan's martial arts had absorbed a lot of the essence of Zen Dao and paid great attention to sudden enlightenment. Travelers were also a type of cultivation. Just like this, Yepingtai arrived at that Ba, and just as he was about to raise funds to sneak over to Qing Province, he unexpectedly discovered this Qing Nation expert, Xiang Shaolong.
could feel Yepingtai's obsession towards the way of martial arts. Essentially, the two of them were the same type of people.
Dragon Lord said that this was a very private spar, and he did not want anyone to watch it, so Xiao Letian did not follow, and did not send anyone to protect Xiang Shaolong. What a joke, if even the Dragon Lord needed someone to protect them, then Xiao Letian's bodyguard search would have been a failure.
But he never thought that's number one expert, Xiang Shaolong, would actually be injured tonight, and from the looks of it, his injuries were not light at all.
”Where's the Dragon Lord? ”How are your injuries …” ”Xiao Letian started to yell the moment he entered the door, and when he saw that Xiang Shaolong, who had finished bandaging himself up, was still nodding and smiling at him, he was finally able to heave a sigh of relief. ”Good boy, you scared me to death. In the future, we won't allow such martial arts competitions without my permission …”
Xiang Shaolong said with an ashamed look on his face, ”It's not that we suffered injuries during this competition, but after I fought with Yepingtai, I met with an ambush from a group of ninjas. It's really hard to guard against them …”
It turned out that when Xiang Shaolong and Yepingtai were fighting, a group of Ninjas had surrounded them. They seemed to know that the two men were very hard to deal with, so they didn't get too close. This group of vicious ninjas actually secretly planted spikes all over the road that they had to pass.
It was an iron concealed weapon with four spikes. No matter how you threw it on the ground, there would always be a spike that would rush forward. In the Ancient China, a horse's hooves that were usually used to hurt war horses were a common weapon on the battlefield. But in Japan, because of the lagging of smelting technology and the scarcity of resources, no one on the battlefield was willing to use such a weapon.
But to ninjas, this weapon was a sharp weapon used for sneak attacks and assassinations. When Xiang Shaolong and Yepingtai returned to the city after their fight, Dragon Lord, who was walking at the front, was the first to suffer a loss.
”Ah …” An ambush! ” Xiang Shaolong's right foot suddenly flew backwards, and following that, a Penetrating Bone Nail flew into the forest on both sides of the road. Yepingtai, who was behind Dragon Lord, pulled his blade and rushed into the forest, and immediately followed with a burst of dense sounds of weapons clashing.
”Yepingtai is different from other Japanese, he has good feelings towards China and this battle is a friendly spar. He even begged me to bring him back to China … This time, thanks to him, Japanese's wooden clogs were naturally the nemesis of this kind of concealed weapon. If it wasn't for him rushing to the front line to fight with these Ninjas, I might really not be able to make it back … ”
Xiao Letian was so angry that he almost went crazy. Damn it, this bunch of bastards, they were even speaking kind words to me just now and in the blink of an eye, they had already set their hands on me, turning hostile faster than flipping a book? I, your father, will remember this grudge, and there will be a day when I will settle this debt. ”
He pondered for a while and said, ”I feel that this matter isn't that simple. Rather than say that this group of ninjas came to find trouble with me, I feel that they came to find trouble with Yepingtai, because after I was injured, only a masked female ninja was fighting with me. The remaining ten over ninjas all surrounded and attacked Yepingtai.”
”Is the Japanese biting off more than she can chew? ”We don't need to care about them. Let them kill each other …” Xiao Letian did not care about Yepingtai's life or death. Although he had a good impression of this young swordsman, it was only a good impression.
But Xiang Shaolong did not think so. He earnestly requested for Xiao Letian to send people to search for him. In the end, Xiao Letian was unable to control him, so he could only let Sima Yun and Xiao Hexin lead more than twenty guards to search, but unfortunately, they could not find Yepingtai and the rest even after half a night.
The sky gradually brightened, and Naha Harbor gradually recovered his popularity. Xiang Shaolong knew that in the middle of the day, the Ninjas would restrain themselves a little. If nothing happened to Yepingtai, then it should be very safe. The Dragon Lord knew that Xiao Letian was going to meet with Ryukyu King Shang Tai in secret today. This kind of dangerous mission couldn't be done without the protection of the Dragon Lord.
”Dragon Lord, your leg is injured. You should rest in your room to recuperate.” Xiao Letian didn't want Xiang Shaolong to follow him no matter what, but he didn't expect that when the temper of the Dragon Lord came up, no one would be able to stop him. ” ”Isn't it just a few holes in my leg? It's not like it's a fatal injury. Even if I don't use my two legs, I can protect you with my concealed weapons …”
With that, Xiang Shaolong forced his injured leg into his shoes and jumped off the bed, walking a few rounds around the house. He didn't know how he managed to endure it, but he didn't seem to be injured at all. Xiao Letian let out a long sigh, and said while nodding his head, ”It's all my fault. How could I forget about this?
