Chapter 52: Your Highness is a Heavenly Vein? Sadistic Ming Qingda!

The Shadow Secret Guard who was about to rush over to help was stopped by Zhao Gao, "Your Highness can handle it, don't get in the way."

"You guys rushed forward, but His Highness still had to avoid your sword energy. You are overestimating your own abilities!"

Xing Yusen couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Li Changan who was at ease.

"A 9th-grade master at the age of sixteen is simply unprecedented and unheard of!"

"Awesome! Awesome is the only word that can describe your majesty's magic!"

The shadow guards behind him waited for a long time, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Commander Xing, which word?"

Xing Yusen stared and said, "It's the word 'Niu', didn't I say that?"

"Haitang Duoduo, the last disciple of Northern Qi's Grandmaster Ku He, is also a ninth-rank young man and is revered as a saint in Northern Qi."

"In recent years, Northern Qi has been saying that she is a person of the Heavenly Vein. I don't know if it's just hype or if it's true!"

In the eyes of the people in this world, those with Tianmai are the bloodline left by God, and they have extraordinary attainments in combat power or literature and art.

At this time, Zhao Gao said contemptuously, "What saintly man and saintly woman! If there is really a person with a heavenly vein in this world, it can only be Your Highness."

"You all say that only a grandmaster can release his true energy, but look at your sword energy, isn't it invisible and intangible, and can it hurt the enemy without being seen?"

“Although I don’t have as strong Qi as a grandmaster, I can release Qi like a grandmaster.”

The Shadow Secret Guards nodded one by one, Li Changan obviously fits the characteristics of a Heavenly Veined Person more.

In just a few words, Li Changan had absorbed all the internal energy of the eighth-grade master.

The eighth-grade master only felt that his dantian was empty, and the originally majestic true energy disappeared!

Even though he was already at the eighth level, his meridians were still there even though his Qi was gone, so he could still train it out, but it would take many years of hard work!
The remaining seventh-rank killers were also killed by him one by one.

At this moment, Fan Wujiu had become a bloody man with more than a dozen knife wounds on his body, but fortunately, no vital parts were seriously injured.

He looked at the salt fields stained with blood and the corpses of more than twenty masters, his eyes filled with horror.

Such a young ninth-grade warrior easily killed more than a dozen seventh-grade warriors, including several masters above the seventh-grade!

Moreover, this person's martial arts were so strange that Fan Wujiu had never seen them before.

"Thank you for saving my life. I have no way to repay you. If you have any orders, as long as they are not against the law, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Li Changan said to the Shadow Secret Guard who caught up with him, "Stop the bleeding first."

The Shadow Secret Guard applied medicine to Fan Wujiu to stop the bleeding. Li Changan then asked, "Are you Fan Jin, the failed scholar who caused a big fuss in Suzhou?"

Fan Wujiu smiled bitterly and said, "Now he is the wanted criminal of Jiangnan Road, the deadly scholar Fan Wujiu."

Li Changan asked, "How many salt merchants have you killed who cheated their children to pass the imperial examinations?"

Fan Wujiu smiled with relief, "Including the four killed by the man named Liu, there are still two alive.

Fan killed them, which was also a way to vent the anger of the Suzhou candidates! "

Li Changan shook his head and said, "You are too short-sighted. Guo Zheng is still alive and well."

Fan Wujiu gritted his teeth and said, "Kyoto is an important place, and there are experts everywhere. My identity will be discovered soon after entering the city."

Li Changan said, "I have a way to help you regain your legal status, but you must work for me."

Fan Wujiu had some experience in the martial arts world, and after seeing Li Changan's unfathomable skills, he had already been tempted.

"Sir, what do you want Fan to do?"

Li Changan said, "Come to Tianqiong Villa outside the city on the 15th of this month. No more waiting after that date."

After saying this, Li Changan took the Shadow Guards and escorted the eighth-grade master who had lost all his martial arts skills away from the salt field.

Fan Wujiu knew Suzhou. It was a famous villa for wealthy merchants in the city. It seemed that this young man was a wealthy man.

Since there is a chance to clear my identity, I should seize the time and kill the remaining two salt merchants first!
If this young master can help him clear his identity and take part in the imperial examination again, it is not impossible!

Li Changan and his party came to a secluded place in the forest, and Xing Yusen began to interrogate the master of Jiangnan Water Village. "Who is your boss? You'd better tell me clearly!"

The man lost all his martial arts skills and was very cooperative. "I am from Jiangnan Water Village. I brought half of the leaders with me this time. I didn't expect that I could not defeat you alone!"

As he spoke, he began to kowtow to Li Changan frantically, "Young Master, your martial arts are unparalleled. I admire you very much. I hope you can spare my life."

"Fan Jin, the failed candidate, also known as the fatal scholar Fan Wujiu, is a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the Jiangnan Road salt merchants!"

"The salt merchants were afraid of being killed, especially those who bribed the examiners, so they hired Jiangnan Water Fort to take action with a large sum of money."

Li Changan asked, "After these twenty people died, what is the cultivation level of the remaining people in your water fort?"

The man replied, "The village leader's uncle, the old priest, is a master among the ninth rank masters and is well-known in the Jiangnan Road martial arts world."

"Among the village chief and other leaders, there are three eighth-rank ones, more than thirty seventh-rank ones, and more than two hundred brothers below the seventh-rank."

The nine shadow guards led by Xing Yusen were all of the eighth rank, and with the addition of the invincible Zhao Gao under the Grand Master, it would be no problem for them to massacre this water fort.

According to Luowang's information, Ming Qingcheng, the illegitimate son of the Ming family, once appeared nearby and was hunted down by the Jiangnan Water Fort.

In the original timeline, Ming Qingcheng eventually joined the Jiangnan Water Village, changed his name to Xia Qifei after his mother's surname, and successfully inherited the position of village chief.

Because of his deep hatred for the Ming family, he finally succeeded in revenge with the support of Fan Xian and took charge of the Ming family for Fan Xian.

Li Changan was not only interested in Xia Qifei's identity as the illegitimate son of the Ming family, who could help control the inner treasury in the future, but he also had his eyes on the Jiangnan Water Fort.

The Jiangnan Water Fort is similar to Liangshanpo in the Water Margin, and its business is robbery and looting with no capital.

This kind of hidden and dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is a good place to gather people for rebellion and also a holy place to raise troops.

After conquering Xia Qifei, you can secretly raise an elite force here, which can support both infantry and navy.

"Has the Seventh Young Master of the Ming Family been captured by you?"

When the man heard about the Seventh Young Master of the Ming Family, he immediately nodded his head like pounding garlic, "In fact, the relationship between the village leader and the Ming Family is not good. We have intercepted things from the Ming Family, so there is a grudge between us!"

“But Young Master Ming Qingda offered a lot, a full 50,000 taels of gold, for Ming Qingcheng’s head!”

"We mobilized dozens of good hands and finally caught the guy. He is now in the dungeon of the water fort."

"But that kid is a tough guy. There are neat and dense marks of knife and axe cuts on his body. The village chief and the old priest both grimaced at him."

Li Changan grinned, because he knew that those injuries were caused by the abuse caused by his elder brother Ming Qingda since childhood.

Li Changan is still deeply impressed by the Ming family's perverted and sadistic habits, let alone their treatment of an illegitimate child like Ming Qingcheng.

"So, your village leader has already decided to accept a disciple?"

The man looked at Li Changan in surprise, "Young Master is truly a god! Young Master Ming Qi has excellent bones, is brave and strong, and the old village chief admires him very much."

"Now the old priest still disagrees. He said that these people from wealthy families will sooner or later accept the amnesty and will not be loyal to the village."

It seems that Ming Qingcheng’s matter cannot be delayed. We must capture him immediately and subdue him, and then quietly develop him in Jiangnan.

"Okay, no need to ask any more questions. Let him lead the way. We will destroy this water fort tonight."

According to Emperor Qing's order to suppress martial arts, those martial arts masters who disobey the court must be eliminated. Li Changan was killing people in compliance with the emperor's order.

That night.

Under the leadership of the prisoner, Li Changan and his party took a small boat and found the Jiangnan Water Fort in the dense water network.

Just as we were about to land, we met a patrol boat from the water fort.

"Listen everyone on the boat, you have been surrounded, put down your weapons immediately and accept interrogation!"

Hearing this, Xing Yusen got furious. He was actually stealing my lines!

"Listen up, pirates on the boat! You are surrounded!
Lay down your weapons and release the hostages. This is your only way out!"
