Chapter 134: I am an upright official, how could I be a thief?
It was pitch black all around. Even though Yang Zhengshan had the eyesight of an ordinary person, he could only see clearly what was happening within a few meters around him. Anything beyond ten meters was just blurry and could not be seen clearly at all.
However, the sound of fighting pointed him in the direction, and soon he arrived at the location of the fight.
"grown ups!"
Before he could get close, Wei Cen took him to a hidden alley.
"over there!"
Yang Zhengshan hid in the alley and looked up at the rooftop not far away.
I saw two dark shadows entangled together, and sparks of weapons colliding appeared from time to time. The light was too dim to make out the movements of the two people fighting.
"Is that a swordsman?" Yang Zhengshan could vaguely see that someone was using a long sword.
"Well, the one using the short blade should be Hou Jun, but I don't know who the one using the sword is." Wei Cen said in an inaudible voice.
"Where are your people?" Yang Zhengshan frowned.
"They're all hidden!"
Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, without any other movement, just observing quietly.
Originally they wanted to follow the clues to see if they could catch a big fish, but they didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear halfway.
Moreover, it seems that Cheng Yaojin is much stronger than Hou Jun. He suppressed Hou Jun so much that Hou Jun tried to escape several times but failed.
But if Hou Jun was captured by Cheng Yaojin, wouldn’t they have wasted their opportunity in vain?
Yang Zhengshan frowned, wondering whether he should help Hou Jun.
At the same time, he was curious about who this swordsman was.
Judging from his moves, he is obviously a martial artist.
Will his move alert Hou Jun?
Just as Yang Zhengshan was hesitating, another sound of breaking through the air was heard, and whoosh, a figure joined the battle.
Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Are there really big fish?
The man who appeared was helping Hou Jun. He stood in front of Hou Jun and forced the swordsman back.
This man held two swords in his hands and moved like a ghost. His strength and speed were so great that he forced the swordsman to retreat again and again.
"Who is this person?"
Twin swords, not many people would use this kind of weapon.
A general on the battlefield would definitely not use such complicated weapons. All kinds of weapons are useful among martial artists, but double swords are not common weapons.
Dual swords do not mean just holding two swords. What weapon a warrior uses depends on what kind of martial arts he practices.
For example, the Yang family practiced the ancestral spearmanship, so everyone used spears. They could also practice other weapons, but they were definitely not as easy to use as spears.
Using two swords means practicing swordsmanship that matches the two swords.
Common exercises mean they are popular, and it is easier to find corresponding exercises.
Niche weapons mean that there are few people who share the same beliefs, and it is difficult to find a method that suits you to learn from or practice.
Weapons like double swords are definitely much rarer than weapons like swords, spears, swords and halberds.
Masters who wield dual swords should be easier to identify, because there are few people who practice dual swords, and even fewer who have names and surnames.
However, Wei Cen shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Yang Zhengshan was not disappointed because Wei Cen didn't know. Instead, his eyes lit up and his heart was filled with surprise.
Wei Cen didn’t know which meant that the warrior wielding dual swords was an existence that the Secret Weapon Guards hadn’t detected.
This means that they have found a new clue.
"You keep an eye on him while I rescue that swordsman and see who he is!"
While the two were talking, the swordsman could no longer hold on and was beaten back step by step by the dual-sword warrior. It seemed that he was about to be killed on the spot.
Throwing down a sentence, Yang Zhengshan leaped up and rushed towards the direction of the fight.
His light body skills are not good, but that doesn't mean he is not fast.
Yang Zhengshan was definitely not slower than Hong Yun when he was running at full speed.
In just a blink of an eye, Yang Zhengshan had rushed to the two of them, and then waved his sleeves.
With a crisp sound, he pounced towards the double-sword warrior. At the same time, Yang Zhengshan turned around, grabbed the swordsman's shoulder, and flew in the opposite direction of the garrison office.
When the crisp sound was heard, the warrior with two swords retreated continuously and had no time to stop Yang Zhengshan.
The crisp sound is not from something insignificant, but from copper coins, which can also be called money darts.
The so-called gold coin dart is made of copper coins with polished edges and can be used as a concealed weapon.
This dart is easy to make, can be carried in large quantities, and is used covertly. It is the most common concealed weapon in the underworld.
Yang Zhengshan often used copper coins when practicing Thousand Machine Hands, so he put a lot of copper coins in his Lingquan space. However, he only used these copper coins to practice the Thousand Machine Hands technique, and did not grind them into gold money darts.
But even if it wasn't polished into a gold coin dart, with Yang Zhengshan's strength, it would still be very painful if this thing hit someone.
Hundreds of copper coins were thrown out, making a loud noise. Even if they didn't hit anyone, they could still scare people.
Yang Zhengshan named this move "using money to hit people".
Well, this is real money-grabbing.
The dual-sword warrior dodged very quickly, but there were too many copper coins. A large number of copper coins fell down and he was hit several times. However, he was not seriously injured, but it was enough to make him extremely angry.
"Damn it!"
He cursed inwardly, but unfortunately it was pitch black around him and he could no longer find Yang Zhengshan and the swordsman. He could only turn around angrily and said "let's go" to Hou Jun before leaving.
After they left, a few little followers followed them quietly through the streets and alleys.
Wei Cen's people are the elite of the Secret Weapon Guard. Although their strength is not very strong, they are extremely good at tracking.
Even in this pitch-black night, they could still follow Hou Jun and the dual-sword warrior steadily based on the traces left on the snow.
On the other side, Yang Zhengshan grabbed the swordsman and ran quickly in the alley.
"You are injured!" After running through four or five alleys in a row, Yang Zhengshan suddenly stopped and asked.
He felt his hands were sticky, obviously stained with blood.
The swordsman groaned, "You caught my wound!"
Yang Zhengshan was stunned, then he withdrew his hand awkwardly.
Guilty sin.
He had caught him pretty hard just now, but the swordsman was able to endure it and didn't speak until now.
wrong!
Suddenly Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise: "You are a woman!"
The man in front of me was wearing a black suit and his face was wrapped tightly with black cloth, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
If she hadn't spoken, Yang Zhengshan would not have been able to tell that she was a woman.
However, the swordsman did not answer him. Instead, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, as if he had fainted.
Yang Zhengshan was speechless.
He didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin who showed up out of nowhere was actually a woman.
She's a woman so be it, I just hope she doesn't look like Cheng Yaojin.
"Hey, wake up!" Yang Zhengshan reached out and poked the woman on the ground, but the woman did not respond.
"You're not going to die!"
He reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist. Her pulse was still there, so she was not dead yet, but she had fainted.
Yang Zhengshan looked up and around. It was freezing cold, and he definitely couldn't just leave the person here.
After hesitating for a while, Yang Zhengshan could only pick up the woman and stealthily walked towards the garrison office.
But as he walked, he felt something was wrong.
"Why doesn't this feel good?"
"It makes me look like a bad person."
"Holding a woman in the middle of the night, this is what a flower thief should do!"
"Bah! I am a decent person, how can I be a flower thief?"
He looked down at the woman in his arms. Judging from her features, she seemed to be quite pretty and probably not too old.
"I am at best a corpse collector!"
While he was daydreaming, he returned to the backyard of the garrison office.
Yang Zhengshan hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not put the woman in the guest room, but brought her back to the main courtyard.
It’s not that he wants to do anything unspeakable, but the current situation is special, so it’s better not to expose this woman.
He also had to find out the identity and background of this woman, so that she wouldn't show up again and ruin their plans.
Throwing the woman on the kang, Yang Zhengshan hesitated for a moment, but still pulled the black cloth off her face.
"is her!"
Yang Zhengshan was slightly surprised when he saw the woman's true appearance.
He had seen this woman before. She was the woman that Yang Chengye bumped into when he was going down the stairs in Fuyun Building.
But he was only surprised for a moment and didn't take it to heart.
They only met once, and the two had no communication, so they couldn't be considered acquaintances.
What he cared about was the identity of this woman and wanted to find out why she wanted to kill Hou Jun.
But before that, he had to heal the woman's injuries first, or at least wake her up.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan began to check her injuries.
The injuries were not serious, only two minor injuries, one on the shoulder and one on the thigh.
She definitely couldn't fall into a coma with such an injury. The blood from the wound was pitch black, indicating poisoning.
This is the bad thing about martial artists in Jianghu. They will do anything to achieve their goals, often poisoning their own weapons, without any martial ethics at all.
But the problem is that Yang Zhengshan doesn't know how to detoxify.
In desperation, Yang Zhengshan could only give the woman a bowl of spiritual spring water and then wait for Wei Cen to return.
He didn't have to wait too long before Wei Cen came back.
"How is it?" Yang Zhengshan first asked about the situation of Hou Jun and the dual-sword warrior.
"They were hiding in a small courtyard in Xicheng District. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I did not continue to track them down. I just asked people to keep an eye on them!" Wei Cen said.
Yang Zhengshan nodded, then took out a handkerchief, handed it to Wei Cen and asked, "Look, what kind of poison is this, can it be cured?"
There were stains of the woman's blood on the handkerchief, which was black in color.
Wei Cen held up the handkerchief and asked, "The Ecstasy Powder can cure it!"
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his waist and handed it to Yang Zhengshan.
"Is this the antidote?" Yang Zhengshan was extremely surprised.
"The Ecstasy Powder is the most common poison in the martial arts world. Once infected, it will make a person fall into a coma in just a moment. This poison will not kill a person, but as long as the antidote is not taken, the person will remain in a coma."
"We often use this poison when facing some people who are still useful!"
Wei Cen explained.
Got it!
The martial artists in the martial arts world have no martial ethics, and you, the Secret Martial Guards, have even less martial ethics than the martial artists in the martial arts world.
What else could Yang Zhengshan say? He took the antidote and went back into the house.
He gave the woman the antidote, bandaged her wounds, and then sat beside her and pretended to take a nap.
