When the big-mouthed girl heard what Xiang Nan said, she nodded in approval.
The son is rising too fast now, causing people to underestimate his strength.
After he defeats a few more masters and truly establishes his position, there will be very few people who dare to challenge him.
Just like Gongsun Wulong, everyone knows that he is powerful, so naturally no one dares to mess with him.
"But son, you must be careful. If someone can't fight you openly, they may resort to insidious tactics." Big Mouth Mother warned.
"Don't worry, mother, I've thought about it all, so I told you not to wander around outside if you have nothing to do." Xiang Nan nodded.
He is not afraid of head-on confrontation, nor is he afraid of poisons or hidden weapons. He is just afraid that the enemy will not move him and attack his family members.
Just like Huang Shang, who was the best in the world in martial arts, but his whole family was killed by someone seeking revenge; Miao Renfeng, who claimed to be invincible in the world, ended up being stolen by Shang Jianming.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to them." Big Mouth Girl nodded.
With her martial arts skills, she is not afraid even if the abbot of Shaolin or the master of Wudang comes.
"Mom, I've caused you trouble." Xiang Nan apologized.
…
Two days later, Xiang Nan received Guo Juxia's carrier pigeon.
From the pigeon's left leg, he removed a wax-sealed copper tube.
After opening it, he took out a piece of paper, which was the task issued by Guo Juxia.
There are ten tasks in total.
Most of them asked him to help him catch people, and they were all gangsters, flower pickers, evil masters and the like.
They are highly skilled in martial arts and their whereabouts are unpredictable. It is difficult to bring them to justice with the power of the six gates alone, so Xiang Nan is invited to take action.
However, Xiang Nan cannot leave Qixia Town for the time being.
Otherwise, if those challengers knew about it, they would think that he was running away from the battle. As a result, the reputation that was so easy to gain must have plummeted.
Therefore, he cannot take on these arresting tasks.
There was a mission that he thought he could try.
That is, in the past six months, more than thirty wealthy families in the world have been wiped out overnight. Even the maids and servants were not spared, and all their property was looted.
Although these murders are distributed in 63 provinces in the south, seven north and south, the furthest ones are thousands of kilometers apart. But judging from the method of the murder, it was still the same group of people.
But who the murderer is is still unclear, so it is listed as an unsolved case by Six Doors.
Guo Juxia entrusted Xiang Nan with the idea of taking a shot if there were no dates.
When Xiang Nan saw this case, he immediately thought that it was very similar to the case of Bao Daren buying an official position.
Bao Daren bought an official position through Eunuch Cao of Dongchang, and spent 125,000 taels of silver to buy a minister in the Ministry of Rites. As a result, as soon as the people set out on the road, the whole family, young and old, and even chickens and dogs were killed by Dongchang's killers.
Bao Daren could not escape originally, but he was an undercover agent sent by Jinyiwei to Dongchang to protect the exhibition hall. After finding out about this, he did not kill Lao Bao, but took him to the capital and prepared to hand him over to Jinyiwei.
When the time comes, with him as evidence, Eunuch Cao can be overthrown, which will also be a huge blow to Dongchang's forces.
Xiang Nan had watched the drama and knew the ins and outs of the matter, so he immediately took on the task.
…
Later, Xiang Nan came to Xiaoliu and told him: "Xiaoliu, notify the brothers in the four townships and eight towns, and ask them to notify the inns, restaurants, footpaths, ferries, horsemen, and beggars below to help me keep an eye on these two people. .
Both have southern accents, one is a fat man with a greasy appearance, and the other is a tall and thin man with a sword in his hand.
As soon as their whereabouts are known, report them to me immediately. Remember, don’t alert the enemy. "
He estimated that Bao Daren and Zhantang should still be on the way at this moment.
Because the official letter from the imperial court appointing the new Minister of Rites has not yet arrived. In the play, this official letter only arrived after Bao Daren was arrested. It is a very important time node.
Therefore, he asked Xiao Liu to inform the police officers in the four townships and eight towns and ask them to help keep an eye on Bao Daren and Zhan Tang. From southern Yunnan to the capital, this is the place they must pass.
"Brother Li, who are they?" Yan Xiaoliu asked curiously.
"No need to ask more, I can't explain it in one sentence. In short, just pay attention to it for me." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Okay." Yan Xiaoliu nodded and left immediately.
Now, after more than half a year of training by him, Yan Xiaoliu is able to stand alone, and is no longer as fussy, frivolous and frivolous as in the play.
After Yan Xiaoliu left, Xiang Nan went to the blacksmith shop, preparing to make insinuations.
Innuendo is the most powerful hidden weapon of the Five Poison Sect.
Generally, concealed weapons are fired by hand, so there will be a warning when firing. But the insinuation is driven by a spring, and there is no warning before it is released.
Coupled with the strong spring force, the flying needles shot are as fast as lightning, making it impossible to prevent. And the poison is quenched on the needles, so even if you only hit one, it will be painful enough. Therefore, it is known as the treasure of the Five Poison Sect.
Xiang Nan plans to build two sets, one for Yang Huilan and one for Zhu Wushuang, to improve their protective abilities.
…
After arriving at the iron shop, Xiang Nan took out ten taels of silver, covered the iron shop directly, then closed the door and started the building work.
By innuendo, the most important parts are the spring and the mechanism.
If the spring is not strong enough, the flying needle will not be powerful enough, and people will easily avoid it;
If the machine is not sensitive and does not respond when pressed, then the hidden weapon is useless. If it is too sensitive, it will be fired if touched by mistake, which will cause greater trouble. If it cannot hurt the enemy, it will hurt itself first.
Therefore, it requires very clever design, very dexterous hands, and very good forging skills to create it successfully.
In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Five Poison Sect, there have only been two insinuations. Of course, this is also related to the fact that they are located in southern Xinjiang and are foreigners, so it is difficult to recruit skilled craftsmen.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan had learned metal casting in the world of "Sword Rain", so he was really no stranger to blacksmithing, and he could even be called a "wonderful craftsmanship".
In addition, Xiang Nan also learned clock making technology. Although the innuendo is sophisticated enough, it is still far behind the clock. Therefore, with Xiang Nan's skills, it is really not a problem to make innuendos.
In addition, he has accomplished internal skills and strong physical strength. In particular, he has learned the Sakyamuni Elephant Throwing Kung Fu, and his arms are strong enough to produce high-quality iron.
Ding, ding, ding, dong, dong, dong... Under his vigorous tapping, the components of the hidden weapon were gradually being created by him.
…
Two days later, Xiang Nan was assembling the insinuating parts.
The innuendo consists of a shell, a mechanism, a spring, a flying needle, etc. In order to be worn on the body without being noticed, it is actually very small, only about the size of a cigarette box.
There are fifty flying needles stuffed inside, so the space is even tighter, which requires very dexterous hands to assemble them.
At this moment, Yan Xiaoliu hurried in and said, "Brother Li, there is news about those two people."
