Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 80 Ambush
  "I'm just waiting for the teacher's private news. Don't tell the other hundred people any news. They just need to follow orders!" Jia Qiang smiled happily after hearing Lin Ruhai's agreement.

"The news about private salt will have to wait for a while. Recently, the salt fields have increased their production, and large quantities of private salt will soon appear. After so many years of business, I am also a leader among salt merchants. I am concerned about the salt diced matter. It will be arranged, and I will dispatch some salt men with simple connections to participate in the operation!" Now that Lin Ruhai has decided, he no longer hesitates, he said seriously.

Jia Qiang came out of Lin Ruhai's study and came to her temporary study.

He saw two figures, one large and one small, between the bookcases, and his movements also alerted the two of them.

"Sister Lin, everyone Yun, I didn't disturb you!" Jia Qiang did not expect to meet Yun Fei here, he smiled and said hello to the two of them.

Yun Fei's face turned slightly red when she saw Jia Qiang.

Although she has seen many guests on the boat, the situation is different now. She is Jia Qiang's person.

"Brother Qiang, I'm afraid you came here specifically to see Sister Yun!" Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and chuckled.

Although she is still young, she has been extremely smart since she was a child. She also studied and read with Jia Yucun, which made her understand a lot of things at a young age.

She knew that Yunfei was given to Jia Qiang by the Xue family, so she joked with Jia Qiang as a child.

She didn't know what her parents were thinking about, so she started teasing Yun Fei.

"Sister Lin, other people's families have long forgotten about the slave family!" Yun Fei said with a slight snort, thinking of Jia Qiang not seeing her for many days.

Jia Qiang didn't know how to reply for a moment.

In Lin Daiyu, he can vaguely see the sarcastic and ridiculing words of Lin Daiyu when she grew up. However, Lin Daiyu now has not suffered the pain of losing her mother and father, but she has no intention of using harsh words to protect herself. Now she is mostly familiar with her. joke.

This Yun Fei is also not simple. With Lin Daiyu's words, he in turn defeated Jia Qiang's army.

"Sister Lin, everyone Yun, please let me go!" Jia Qiang bowed slightly.

Yun Fei gave Jia Qiang a look that made Jia Qiang's heartbeat skip a beat.

"I've been my brother for a long time, but I haven't seen any gifts!" Lin Daiyu said, stretching out her little hand.

"It's my brother's fault!" Jia Qiang chuckled. Most of the gifts sent by the Xue family were kept in this room. He stepped forward to open a box and took out an jade brush and a pen tube from it. The small jade plate is made of jade and is paired with a Duan inkstone made by a master.

"I heard that Sister Lin is busy writing every day, so my brother gave me this study room as a token of my gratitude!" He put the three things in front of Lin Daiyu and said with a smile.

Lin Daiyu fell in love with the jade brush and jade dish at first sight. She especially liked the emerald green.

"Thank you, Brother Qiang!" Lin Daiyu said without any politeness.

Her hands were too small. After taking the jade brush and jade plate, she couldn't take the Duan Inkstone, so she could only look at Yun Fei.

Yun Fei picked up the Duan Inkstone and looked at Jia Qiang with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"What do you mean, are you jealous of a seventeen-year-old child?" Jia Qiang didn't understand what Yunfei meant. Did she also want a gift?

In both lives, he couldn't guess what a girl was thinking. His understanding of Yunfei was limited, and he didn't know what to give to Yunfei at the moment. He couldn't give out a study room as a gift.

"Ah, it's very late. Mother is looking for her!" Lin Daiyu realized that it was a little late and said quickly.

She nodded to Jia Qiang, happily hugged the gift and left. Yunfei hurriedly followed, not forgetting to glance at Jia Qiang again before leaving.

Jia Qiang smiled and looked through her favorite book in the bookcase.

Two days later, there was no news from Lin Ruhai, but she was asked to go out to play again.

This time, the person who asked him out was the young master of the Wang family whom he met in a restaurant last time. This man is not a direct descendant of the Wang family, but just a branch. However, the Wang family has a large business, and these branches also play an important role in it. .

Jia Qiang originally didn't intend to pay attention to it, but the Wang family master asked him to give face to Yun Fei.

Regarding Yun Fei's matter, although it was the Xue family who came forward to talk to the Wang family, Jia Qiang didn't know the details, but Yun Fei ended up with him and she really needed to give the Wang family face.

So he agreed to the Wang family's appointment, which was considered as repaying the Wang family's favor. He himself also had the idea of ​​​​contacting with these salt merchants.

The Wang family's carriage stopped outside the Lin Mansion. Jia Qiang got on the Wang family's carriage after leaving the door.

On the carriage, a young man named Wang Bo, a branch of the Wang family, prepared food and drinks with a very respectful attitude.

"Mr. Jia, thank you for the favor. This time, a friend asked me to come forward and be the go-between to meet you!" Wang Bo poured a glass of wine for Jia Qiang and explained the reason for the invitation.

"Who needs to use your name to make an appointment with me? Why not come to me directly?" Jia Qiang asked with some confusion.

"He said he had some conflicts with Mr. Jia. This time he invited Mr. Jia to drink from the first spring at Shangfang Temple to resolve the conflict!" Wang Bo explained with a smile.

Jia Qiang frowned slightly. He couldn't imagine who could ask Wang Bo to come forward to date him. Could it be the two young masters from the Cheng family or the Ma family?
  Wang Bo didn't want to say who that person was, but when Jia Qiang asked, he said he would know it when they met and asked Jia Qiang to give him face.

The carriage headed to the north of the city. The First Spring of Shangfang Temple is still very famous in Yangzhou. Many people go to Shangfang Temple just to make tea and drink from the First Spring. Coupled with the elegant environment of Shangfang Temple, it is definitely a good place to go.

Jia Qiang no longer thought about who wanted to meet her. While enjoying the scenery along the way, she chatted with Wang Bo without saying a word.

This Wang Bo was not very shrewd. As the chat progressed, he casually asked some questions, and Wang Bo gave the answers.

Especially when it comes to the secrets between salt merchants, I wonder if Wang Bo felt that by being the middleman this time, he owed Jia Qiang a favor. He said everything he could.

After leaving the city gate, fewer and fewer people went to Shangfang Temple. This was normal. Today was not a festival, or it had special significance, so naturally there were fewer people going to Shangfang Temple.

When you get to Shangfang Temple, you can only walk into the temple.

Jia Qiang walked with Wang Bo, followed by four servants.

Jia Qiang's strong spirit made him feel that something was wrong around him. Although there were few people in front of Shangfang Temple, there should not be a single person missing.

The most important thing is that there is no sound of birds or insects in the forest, and it is eerily quiet.

He sensed Wang Bo again. Wang Bo's behavior was normal and he didn't show any signs of guilt.

It seems that either Wang Bo has a big heart, or someone tricked Wang Bo and asked Wang Bo to come forward to lure him over.

No matter what it is, it seems that someone wants to deal with him this time and lured him here, probably with the intention of killing someone.

He was secretly careful, thinking about who had laid this trap waiting for him.

Although Jia Qiang is very careful, the trap for him this time was set by the Zhen family of Jiangnan.

Since I saw him take action in the capital, I know that he is extremely powerful, so the arrangements this time are targeted.

Although the cultivation method of Jianghu is not as good as the body-refining technique of Jiangmen, the people of Jianghu have already had methods to deal with those who are strong in the body-refining technique of Jiangmen.

Of course, this method cannot be used by a strong person who practices the art of general body refining with a large group of troops, and can only be used for ambushes and sneak attacks.

What Jia Qiang encountered this time was a specially arranged trap. He walked step by step between the big trees. The ground here was covered with weeds and leaves, and the tree crown above his head blocked the sky.

Suddenly, five large nets appeared around him, around him, and above him. The five large nets quickly shrank to surround him and Wang Bo beside him.

Jia Qiang had been vigilant, but after realizing something was wrong, it was too late to react.

The five-sided net is extremely delicately arranged. As long as he reaches a certain position, it will be seamless and there will be nowhere to escape.

That is, there is no net laid out on the ground beneath your feet.

The five-sided net shrinks through a mechanism, so it shrinks very quickly.

Jia Qiang was about to draw the sword but failed. The 'Qingfeng Sword' has a safety spring. To draw the sword, you need to press the spring button first before you can pull out the 'Qingfeng Sword'.

This is to prevent accidents. If an extremely sharp sword like the 'Qingfeng Sword' accidentally falls out of the scabbard, it may injure someone.

But at this time, the function of 'Qingfeng Sword' prevented him from drawing the sword immediately. His arm was contracted by the net and there was no space.

At the same time, he felt an extremely dangerous aura, and then his chest suddenly shook.

With a "clang" sound, a steel arrow bounced off his chest and fell to the ground.

"There are strong men who use treasure bows!" At this time, he didn't know what was going on.

Before, he thought that even with five large nets, he could ensure his own safety and also protect Wang Bo.

Judging from Wang Bo's behavior, he was deceived.

But after he truly found himself in a dangerous situation, he no longer considered other people. His life was the most important thing.

Before the archer hiding in the dark could shoot another arrow, his hands grabbed the big net, and his power suddenly exploded.

A huge force of two thousand kilograms acted on the net instantly. The net was made of unknown materials and could withstand his huge force.

But the mechanism connecting the big net collapsed directly, and with the sound of shattering, several big nets were disconnected by him.

Although these big nets are still wrapped around him, their impact on him is no longer as great as before.

At this time, another arrow was shot. 51's agility allowed him to react in time. The big net in his hand swept out and swept away the arrow.

He also saw an old man holding a treasure bow behind a big tree thirty meters away.

A look of horror flashed across the old man's eyes. Although he was old and had taken care of his old age in the Zhen family after retiring from the army, he had been supported by the Zhen family in his early years and had timely replenishment of medicines, so his strength had not diminished much as he got older.

With the treasured bow he was holding, at this distance and without armor, he was confident that even a rank six expert would not be able to avoid his arrows.

Not to mention that Jia Qiang was still restrained, especially the first arrow. He aimed at Jia Qiang's chest and heart, preparing to kill with one blow.

But the 100% sure-kill arrow did not hurt Jia Qiang at all after hitting her.

"Hurry up!" the old man shouted.

From all directions, more than thirty Jianghu people armed with various weapons rushed out and surrounded Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang had no time to untie the big net. Wang Bo was still in the big net. His arms were affected by the big net and the space for movement was limited.

It can be said that he was at an absolute disadvantage, but he did not panic and kept his feet on the ground.

In fact, as long as he is willing, this situation can be resolved in an instant.

The price is not to let anyone here escape, but also to kill anyone nearby who might witness the battle.

However, he did not want to put away the big net through the game inventory. These people were not worthy of him.

His figure flashed, and even with a big net and Wang Bo in the net, his speed was still unimaginably fast.

He waved his arms, and the big net became his weapon, sweeping away one person's sword, and his body hit the other person hard.

This man's martial arts skills didn't even get a chance to be used in front of Jia Qiang. Youdao is the only martial arts in the world that is fast and unbeatable.

Jia Qiang is extremely fast. With 51 points of agility, he can move 51 meters per second. This speed combined with his strength and the collision using his body as a weapon are enough to break the bones of most Jianghu people.

No one in the world expected him to be so fast. Everyone's bodies were rushing forward, but Jia Qiang was in the middle of them.

Jia Qiang was among these people, constantly hitting them, and the sound of the enemy's bones breaking could be heard with every blow.

Suddenly, he dwarfed, and an arrow passed through the body of a Jianghu man and grazed his scalp.

In the previous battle, he was very careful and always paid attention to the old archer.

During the battle, he chose to rush into the crowd because he didn't want the old archer to seize the opportunity.

But he never expected that the old archer would not even care about his own life and shoot arrows directly at him in the crowd.

The power of the treasure bow, at a distance of thirty meters, can penetrate the bodies of several people without losing any power against these people without armor.

Jia Qiang knew that she couldn't do this. His chest was protected by the "Feng Yue Bao Jian", and there was no defense in other places.

Once he is shot by the old archer, he must expose what he does not want to expose.

While thinking about it, he exerted force on his feet and rushed towards the old archer.

The old archer has the stability of a sharp archer. When he saw Jia Qiang rushing toward him, he judged that Jia Qiang's speed was too fast, and he could not escape even if he wanted to.

He drew the bow steadily, and a steel arrow was placed on the bow string, but it did not shoot immediately.

He knew very well that he only had one chance, and he had to shoot Jia Qiang with one arrow.

"Five thunders rectify the law!" Jia Qiang shouted at this time.

This pseudo-Taoist trick, which even immortals were struck by, had the same effect as always.

A ray of white light flashed among the trees. The old archer felt pain in his eyes and instinctively loosened his bowstring.

The moment he loosened the bow string, the old archer felt a chill in his heart. He understood that the arrow was too straight.

Jia Qiang dodged in time before performing the 'Five Thunder Methods'.
