Northern Dragon and Southern Eagle, these are two well-known giants in the world. Nan Ying is Zeng Guoquan's personal bodyguard Ying Ying. He studied under Southern Shaolin, and his Eagle Claw Kung Fu and Qing Kung Fu are unique in the world. However, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was at its worst, he went down to seek refuge with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, hoping to gain glory and wealth through his hard work.
It's a pity that times have changed. Although martial arts still had some market in the late Qing Dynasty, it was already in its doomsday. When the Qing army fired a burst of white smoke, the eagle was buried in a pile of corpses. Later, the injured Yingying thought about it carefully, and he suddenly realized that in this era, martial arts can only shine in certain circumstances.
For example, guards of high-ranking officials, assassins, spies... these professions that require dealing with various complex environments are the ultimate destination of martial arts people. Afterwards, Yingying took refuge in Jizi Camp of the Hunan Army. After only two or three reconnaissance missions, he gained the respect of the Ninth Commander, and was even promoted to the position of personal bodyguard. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Xiang Shaolong's experience is even more legendary. This young man, who is not over thirty, showed his talent in martial arts at a very young age. The family spent everything they had to get Xiang Shaolong to study under famous teachers, and even studied in Wudang Mountain for three years.
After he came down from the mountain at the age of 25, it took only three years for him to become famous as Lord Long in the north. Xiang Shaolong was originally from Xiangjiazhuang in Yanqing. It is said that he is a descendant of Xiang Yu, a nobleman of Chu State. Of course, Chinese people have been attached to famous people since ancient times. This happened thousands of years ago. Who knows whether it is true or not? Most people just take it for granted. Laughter.
But after Beilong's name became famous, and when Xiangjiazhuang began to make a lot of money, this rumor that seemed like a joke gradually became true. Until ten days ago, a stranger actually came to him because of Long Ye's reputation, and said with certainty that as long as one thing was accomplished, Xiangjiazhuang would be guaranteed to join Xiang Yu's clan, and he would also be given money to Xiang Yu. The family estate predetermines a share for each person. Update as soon as possible
Dragon Master Xiang Shaolong was stunned at that time. He couldn't believe his ears, but when someone said a person's name in his ear, Xiang Shaolong gave up all doubts and immediately came out.
For the ancients, regardless of whether he was a businessman, a bandit, or a top tycoon in the green forest, as long as they encountered an opportunity to shine on their family or even join the ranks of scholars, they would go crazy.
Fan Ru is like this, Xiang Shaolong is the same, everything is inferior, but the idea of being a good scholar has been engraved into the bone marrow of the Chinese people after thousands of years of brainwashing. For the sake of the family's reputation, Xiang Shaolong went straight down the mountain to Xiao Letian without paying a penny. He even went across the mountains and ridges to Taibaiding to get a feel for him. Although he did not find the big fish Shi Dakai, but He also vaguely guessed the true identities of these people. Update as soon as possible
"Okay, colluding with the long-haired devils, writing foreigners' evil scriptures to deceive the people of the Qing Dynasty, any one of these crimes is worthy of death. I kill Xiao Letian, this is to do justice for heaven..."
Xiang Shaolong didn't have any psychological burden when he killed Xiao Letian. In the minds of people educated in Confucian tradition, it would be unreasonable not to kill such a person if he was a Japanese devil, wrote foreigners' evil scriptures, and colluded with the rebels. .
But what made him incredible was that after he successfully kidnapped the man and woman, he seemed to have burst a huge hornet's nest, and one incredible thing happened one after another.
Xiang Shaolong didn't expect that he and his disciples had just left Beijing, and not even more than ten miles away, they were already being watched. Moreover, there were traps set up by Jianghu figures on the official road, and the caravans were inspected one by one. Originally, Xiang Shaolong wanted to use his identity as Dragon Master to deal with these minor characters, but he didn't expect that these people didn't give them any face and started to attack them.
Xiang Shaolong managed to get through four traps set up by Jianghu people along the way, and in the end he actually found the checkpoints set up by Shuntian Mansion and Jiumen Admiral. This time Xiang Shaolong was a little hesitant. He finally understood that this task was not that easy to complete. Xiao Letian was a hot potato.
In fact, the fight that Xiao Letian saw after he woke up was already after Xiang Shaolong broke through the six lines of defense, and it was already nearing the end.
Originally, Master Long thought that it was safe to enter the mountain after dark, but he didn't expect that the eagle with the same bone-corrosive poison actually chased him, and took action to deal with the last two apprentices. Now there is only one apprentice in the hut who has just started training less than two years ago. Guarding the hostages, he was already entangled by the eagle.
To be honest, the kung fu between Long Ye and Ying Ying is about the same. Ying Ying is stronger in Qing Kung Fu, while Xiang Shaolong is proficient in Wudang Internal Kung Fu and is about the same level in his own right. Once these two people get entangled, they won't be able to decide the outcome for an hour or two.
Now in the hut, only the little apprentice who was boiling water was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and was guarding Xiao Letian and the two at a loss. He looked at the hostages for a while, and then looked at the fight outside. To be honest, the duel between the masters was so exciting that it even left an afterimage, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder between the fists and feet.
The young apprentice was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and it was the time when curiosity was strong. How could the duel between the Northern Dragon and the Southern Eagle not attract him? At first, he paid the same amount of attention to both sides, but gradually the young man was attracted by the door. I was attracted by the wonderful showdown outside.
Just when he was stunned, a figure suddenly rushed towards him like a tiger, and then he screamed in pain from his wrist, and the wooden stick fell directly to the ground.
"Holy shit, Huniu!" Xiao Letian didn't expect Huniu to be so wild and actually attack the enemy unprepared. And when he opens his mouth, he uses a special trick. Xiao Letian didn't dare to neglect, he rushed forward, picked up the hardwood stick, hit the back of his little apprentice's head and hit it with a stick.
There was a muffled sound, and the little apprentice rolled his eyes and fainted. "It's amazing, it turns out that the wooden stick is so easy to use..." At this time, Hu Niu didn't care anymore and pushed open the back door. "Let's go, let's go quickly..." "After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Letian's hand and got into the darkness.
"No...don't go through the back door, it's a ravine..." Xiang Shaolong shouted subconsciously, but what he got back was the screams of Xiao Letian and Huniu.
At this time, the eagle finally caught an opening, and its claws hit Xiang Shaolong's ribs like electricity. This move was so severe that two of his ribs were broken. "Ah! Enough..." Xiang Shaolong dodged his legs and ran straight for the eagle's chest. Just as the eagle was dodging, Xiang Shaolong actually took out the foreign gun that Xiao Letian had captured from his arms.
The operation of the Colt revolver is very simple, and anyone who has never fired a gun can understand it at a glance. Two crisp gunshots, bang bang, were passed back and forth in the valley, and the echoes were extremely melodious.
"Well!" Eagle covered his shoulders, blocked the blood, turned around and backed away. "Long Ye is really powerful enough to even use a foreign gun? Mr. Xiao, go down the valley. Your men have come to rescue you." ..." After saying that, his whole body disappeared into the darkness. Please come to more and faster chapters.
At this time, Xiao Letian and Huniu were knocked unconscious. Fortunately, this was a gentle slope instead of a cliff. Although their foreheads were broken by the collision, there were no fatal injuries.
"Hu Niu, where are you? Are you okay..."
"I'm here, I'm right next to you..."
The two hugged each other in the dark and couldn't tell the direction at all. However, Xiao Letian knew that the terrain here was high in the west and low in the east. As long as he walked in the low-lying direction, he would be able to get out of the mountain.
In Xiao Letian's arms, there was always a fireworks with a wax-sealed yellow phosphorus head. It was a life-saving flare specially made by Xiao Letian at the firecracker shop. Fortunately, it was not confiscated by Xiang Shaolong. As long as Xiao Letian can get close to the rescue team, he can definitely escape with this signal flare. Update as soon as possible
The two of them were groping in the dark night, and Xiang Shaolong's shout came from behind them, "Don't go forward, be careful of the cliff..." Xiao Letian said in his heart, even if there is a cliff, it would be better to fall to death than to die. Strong in your hand.
Damn it, I'll ask Shi Da to spread the hero posts when I get back. Anyway, I have the money to spend high prices and I have to hire a few real top players. I don't want to suffer this sin again.
Just as Xiao Letian was running for the road, Xiang Shaolong finally waited for the apprentice soldiers to respond. More than fifty Xiang family disciples rushed into the hut and saw Mr. Long sweating in pain at a glance.
"Master Long! Who hurt you? Let's fight him desperately..." A group of disciples gathered around him, Xiang Shaolong's face looked unusually pale under the light of the torch.
"I'm fine. The bones are not broken. They are probably cracked. They were attacked by the eagle. But don't worry, he was injured much more seriously than me... Now, all the troops are divided into two groups. One group goes down the valley to search for Xiao Letian, and the other group Blocking the mountain pass to intercept reinforcements..."
"Master, when you see a person named Xiao, do you need to kill him on the spot?" Xiang Shaolong obviously hesitated, and he shook his head, "It's better to capture him alive. I'm very curious about this person..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was suddenly a burst of footsteps from outside the hut, followed by a loud voice: "Musketeers... load ammunition... launch..." A thunder was heard on the ground, The wooden door of the small courtyard was banged with iron sand, and screams could be heard in the courtyard.
"Brothers, load the ammunition. We are soldiers trained by Mr. Xiao. Even if we lose our lives today, we must rescue Mr. Xiao...Fire!" Another barrage rushed into the small courtyard, and now all the apprentice soldiers were frightened. Lying on the ground, they had never seen a real volley of muskets.
The ones who came were none other than the ten musketeers trained by Xiao Letian at the Mountain Temple. When they heard that Mr. Xiao was in danger, they automatically gathered together and surrounded Xiao Hexin, insisting on joining the pursuit. .
The person shouting slogans on the far left side of the team is Luo Huo, who has been whipped the most by Xiao Letian. He is now the core figure of the ten-man team. Under the instruction of shopkeeper Fan Lian, the ten guys have given up learning to do business and just join in when they have nothing to do. Xiao Letian gave them tips on practicing musket volleys together.
Today the ten foreign guns showed off their power again. Last time it was a mountain temple and this time it was a thatched house. The depths of the mountain became the best training ground for the musketeers. If Eagle were here, he would definitely be stunned, because these ten musketeers showed better qualities than veterans of hundreds of battles.
Faster reloading speed, faster firing speed, and better psychological quality. Ten musketeers can actually defeat fifty close combat masters in close combat. This is impossible without strict shooting discipline.
At that moment, Luo Huo and the others should really be grateful to Xiao Letian for his whip. Without his strict discipline, their appearance would not have been possible.
Xiang Shaolong was desperate now. It was not that he had never seen the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion fire shotguns, but he had never seen the musketeers who dared to come close to ten steps and fire intensively, and the firing frequency was so fast.
Long Ye endured the pain and wanted to rush past from the side and use his own skills to disrupt the enemy formation, but when he saw more figures coming into the darkness, he gave up completely.
"Scatter and smear into the valley, don't go up against them..."
