Naturally, not all of the guards at Prince Lu's Mansion are just for a living.
Think about it, even Song Xiang, the tyrant of Runan City who appeared in the previous article...his family has good players like Zhao Youtiao and Ma Chu, and those raised in the palace Can the diners be any worse than those from the Old Song family?
What's more, as we have mentioned before, Zhu Yue is not an ordinary prince. He is a very ambitious person, so the number of "masters" he has under his disciples is not ordinary.
Of course...the majority of them are fishing in troubled waters and pretending to be fake.
After all, the young prince's own martial arts skills are very average, and he can't tell which ones are the real masters and which ones can only deceive him with his layman's tricks.
As for the "masters", whether they are real masters or fake masters... they will not go to the master to expose each other's true level.
This is considered an industry rule.
Because warriors like them who work for the powerful, whether it is Jianghu Dao or Green Forest Dao, are somewhat discriminatory towards them, so they can only rely on their peers to take care of each other.
They all come out to make a living. If you say too much today and say that someone’s martial arts skills are not as good as yours, their jobs may be ruined tomorrow. What about someone with a higher martial arts skills than you tomorrow? He also ruined your job and then lived alone? This is no longer interesting.
So, among Zhu Yanyang’s many disciples, which ones are the real masters?
Leaving aside the corpse, there are three people whose martial arts are indeed impressive.
The first one is named Xiahou Yuan, the mandarin duck; this man is about forty years old, tall and thin, with extraordinary wingspan. He wields a nine-section whip in one hand and is known as the "dragon on the arm" ".
The second person, whose surname is Gongsun, has a single name of "Jiu", which means "Jiu". He is in his fifties, has a thin body, and is known as "Blood Covers Silver Front".
Third place, Taishi Ci, is the porcelain who touched the porcelain. This man is in his mid-thirties, has a strong back, and wields an iron rod. He is known as the "mountain-knocking king".

Then why do you think the pronunciation of the names of these three people has the same accent as that of the generals of the Three Kingdoms?
If I tell you from the perspective of setting, it is that their parents love to watch the Three Kingdoms, so they were naughty when naming them; and if I tell you from the perspective of my personal creation, , just on a whim.
Speaking of these three people, they were already resting in the room in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, they suddenly heard Shi Xuanzi's voice.
Most of these martial arts practitioners don’t sleep particularly deeply, and some can even use pranayama meditation instead of sleeping, so the three of them almost opened their eyes as soon as they heard the shout.
After just one breath, three figures came out of three different rooms.
AlthoughAlthough they were only wearing white pajamas at this time and didn't even have time to put on a coat, they could hold the weapons in their hands well.
The right way is to raise an army for a thousand days, but to use it for a while. The more capable disciples like them, the more they look forward to the opportunity to perform.
Now, this opportunity has come.
These three are also veterans. When someone calls out to catch a thief, they do not run towards the source of the call immediately after leaving the house. Instead, they use their ear skills to catch the "house" Is there any sound of feet stepping on tiles?
When Jiang Muchan sneaked in, he was cautious and would rather slow down than make that kind of noise, but now he was in a hurry to leave, so he made the noise.
When the three heard the sound, they naturally jumped onto the roof...
Just like that, about twenty seconds later, Jiang Muchan was blocked by them. On a roof between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard.
Actually, Jiang Muchan's running speed is not too slow, but the "explosive speed increase" he used to avoid Corpse Manzi's magic is obviously impossible to maintain for a long time, otherwise he will become lightning. A hero.
At this moment, Jiang Muchan's direction to the courtyard wall was blocked by those three people. If he turned back and went to the inner courtyard...not to mention there was a corpse there, there might be others. Experts appear again.
Therefore, after weighing it for a while, Jiang Muchan sighed, looked at the three people standing in front of him and said: "Alas...it seems that I have to go to the knife with you."< /p>
The three people opposite him just sneered when they heard this.
Shouldn’t you laugh?
In one-on-three, just use the knife, not Gatling. Do you think you have a chance to win?
"Little brother, I see that you are still young, and we have no grievances, so I advise you... hurry up and be captured, lest you waste your life here." Xia Houyuan said this, He is arrogant and arrogant. In his heart, he feels that three against one cannot win. However, he is still a retainer of others, and his responsibility is more important than his pride. If he really takes action, he will also No mercy.
"Heh... I accept my brother's kindness." Jiang Muchan responded with a smile, "To be honest, I don't want to hurt the lives of the three of you, so I would like to advise... You'd better get out of the way."
"Hmph! You're such a crazy boy... I think you're not going to drink the wine as a penalty!" Gongsun finally figured it out. Odds of winning, can you bear this?
Before he finished speaking, he had already bent down and took a bow, shrunk forward.
His pair of judge pens have double-ended tips and a ring in the middle. The penholder can be rotated in the ring of the finger ring to grasp, throw, release, and rotate the pen to penetrate, point, pick, and Stab and attack the enemy, which is changeable, fast and dangerous.
Everyone in the martial arts knows that most of the strange weapons other than the "eighteen kinds of weapons" are difficult to deal with. A person who is used to dealing with swords and sticks will face this for the first time. When planting weapons, he will be completely confused about the opponent's attack mode, and then it is very likely that... he will not have a second chance..
After all, you only have one life.
It was a little late, but then he saw Gongsun Jiu's thin body walking on the sloping roof as if he was on the ground. The lightning was coming, and the silver tip of the judge's pen in his right hand flashed, and he performed a fairy style. Pulling the needle, the judge's pen in the left hand went down three paths, and a hand was made to steal the peach from the bottom of the leaf.
Seeing this, Jiang Muchan stepped back with her right foot, turned her body to the right, touched the ground with her left foot, and jumped back one minute.
In this step of turning around and taking a step back, it seemed like the world was so far away. It seemed like no big move, and he didn't even move his position much, but he avoided the opponent's dangerous killing move. It was so clean that Gongsun couldn't even catch the follow-up move.
After Gongsun Jiu’s attack failed, his body lost a lot, and a big flaw was revealed... Considering that Jiang Muchan had not moved too far, if Jiang took action at this time, even if it was just a strike with his bare hands. Palm, Gongsun will be seriously injured for a while.
But, he didn't do that.
He just stood there and slowly...at least slowly for himself...pulled the knife on his back out of the sheath.
In the two seconds he was "working hard", Gongsun had already adjusted his body shape, turned around, and performed the Double Butterfly Dance with both hands, and at the same time he shouted: " Great idea! Help!"
Actually, there was no need for him to shout. At this moment, Xiahou Yuan and Tai Shici had already taken advantage of the situation.
These two are not blind, they have seen what happened just now; they can also see Jiang Muchan's behavior of "raising a hand" even though he could seriously injure Gongsun Jiu.
Xia Houyuan thought to himself at that time: "This kid... is either soft-hearted or too arrogant. He feels that he can do anything at any time. Even if the three of us come together, he can handle it more than enough." ..."
His guess is probably 80% correct.
Jiang Muchan did think it was easy to deal with the three of them, and he did not want to kill people indiscriminately, but what he did was not called soft-hearted, but kind-hearted.
Some people may think that using "kindhearted" to describe a "thief" is a bit contradictory, but it is not.
As the saying goes, "There are many people who slaughter dogs for justice, but there are many people who are scholars who are unfaithful."
Human beings are inherently contradictory.
Prostitutes can have true feelings, and good people can also have evil intentions. Not all people who become thieves are bad people, and not all people who become officials are good people.
Why is Jiang Muchan called "a man who wants money but not his life"? First, because he specializes in picking on corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, and even princes and generals, and his colleagues describe him as bold; second, because he really "just wants money, not life" - he will not kill anyone unless absolutely necessary. Not even dogs are killed.
Just like now, even when faced with the siege of three people, Jiang Muchan had no real intention to kill.
Crack, crack, crack——
With a burst of metal twisting, the nine-section whip in Xiahou Yuan's hand rose up from the air like a dragon, and the whip hit Jiang Mu directly.The left side of the cicada's trunk.
Huh——
Taishici's iron rod swept against the tiles at Jiang Muchan's feet, attacking his lower plate.
Chicking, chicking, chicking—
And just a few inches in front of Jiang Muchan, there was a pair of judge pens spinning towards her.
Three fronts, three dangers.
One life, one knife.
At this moment, the "dull knife" was finally unsheathed.
The knife is fast, and so are the people.
Jiang Muchan's move "Wind and Snow" is like the breeze chasing the moon, like a flying giant imprinted in snow.
This sword move was actually silent.
But in this silence, Gongsun Jiu and Taishi Ci fell.
They were not dead, or even bleeding. They were just stabbed in the ribs with a blunt knife one after another, and were so shaken by the force of the knife that they could no longer stand.
When they fell, the sound of them crawling on the tiles and the sound of their weapons falling from the roof broke the "moment of silence" that seemed to be frozen just now.
"My sword is not sharp, it is benevolence." At this time, Jiang Muchan spoke again, "I am merciful to the three men, it is justice..." He paused for half a second and said Su Leng, "I hope the three of you will stop here and fulfill your benevolence, otherwise..."
"Otherwise...what?" Xia Houyuan, as the only person who can still stand and speak at this moment, Naturally, I took on the obligation to communicate with the other party.
But in fact, he also knew in his heart... The biggest reason why he could stand was because his nine-section whip attacked from a distance... If he also attacked at close range, it would probably be My son was already lying there.
"Otherwise, I have to show you my 'wu'." Jiang Muchan continued.
"Isn't what you did just now considered 'martial arts'?" When Xia Houyuan asked this, he was calm on the surface, but he was a little shocked in his heart.
"Of course not." Jiang Muchan said.
"Then let me ask you boldly...what should I do?" Xiahou Yuan said.
“Being able to cut things without cutting them is my ‘martial arts’.” Jiang Muchan said.
"What?" Xiahou Yuan asked again.
"Anything." Jiang Muchan replied.
"Well..." Xiahou Yuan heard the words and groaned, then took two steps back, turned sideways, and made a way out, "Hero, please come this way... ”
