"Kill or be killed!"
Between these two answers, where there was no choice, Zhang Yi finally chose to resist. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Everything in my previous life is like smoke, and I will no longer be ordinary in this life. ā
On the very night he made up his mind, he had a dream. He stood on a vast and incredible river, like a fish living in the water, accidentally jumped out of the water and saw the scenery and the situation ahead.
A road leads to destruction, the leper Liu Qiang married his sister, and then killed him for robbing the cloth village, and his fate ended.
The other leads to the unknown.
Zhang Yi walked into the unknown without hesitation, what else did he hesitate between life and death?
The other road is not a smooth road, there are short sword assassination failures in the dark and being killed, there are traps that are easily recognized, there are also the sudden death of the leper Liu and the assassination by others, and so on.
Just when Zhang Yi wanted to see a little more clearly, he suddenly woke up.
"What's that? a weird dream?"
"No, it's not that it's an unrealized, coming future. ā
"That is the River of Destiny, the River of Destiny reflected by the Three Thousand World Orbs. Lin Hongyang, who had no reason, felt a piece of information flood from the bottom of his heart.
Because this jewel can reflect the river of fate, its owner can relatively grasp his own destiny and choose his own future, so it can be worth three thousand worlds.
The reflection of its fate is absolutely real, a prophecy that is not obscured by any factor, and it is an absolutely true prophecy.
"Looking forward to the heavens and the earth, looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, but I hope for you. Buddha, your old man's production, that is absolutely powerful. ā
At this time, Zhang Yi didn't dwell too much on this matter, and with the memory produced in his mind, he clearly realized that he didn't have the possibility of killing the leper Liu alone. can only rely on the back to raid and kill him by surprise, once the sneak attack fails, then the consequences are unimaginable.
If he hadn't been killed on the spot by the leper Liu, in this world where cultivators were rampant, it would be a capital crime for civilians to sneak attack monks, and even if they weren't caught, they would have to wander in the wilderness.
"The most suitable weapon for a sneak attack is the crossbow, although the musket is more powerful, but time is running out, now we must kill the leper Liu within a month, before he comes to the door again to force marriage. ā
Zhang Yi, who had made up his mind, immediately pretended to be crazy and stupid and infiltrated Zhang's blacksmith's shop, and spent nearly a month making the most important crossbow arms and triggers from highly elastic steel, and twisting them into strings with hair and hemp thread.
It was reworked several times during this period, and it is only today that a usable steel bolt has been made.
After closing his eyes for a while, Zhang Yi did not get up until the moon rose. First changed into a dark night suit, and then wound the crossbow, Zhang Yi quietly left the house.
It's been nightfall for a while, and even the lights on the main street have been turned off. Zhang Yi walked lightly in the shadows of the house without alarming even a dog.
Quietly leaving the town, he set up an ambush in a thatched pile by the river. Now that he was covered with thatch, his breath was like nothing, and the crossbow was aimed at the waterway that Leper Liu often passed, quietly waiting for the ship that Leper Liu would return from Fang City for fun.
The tips of the three crossbow arrows have been painted black, like the bifurcated poison core of a poisonous snake, and this sneak attack has only one chance, and if it is not successful, it will die.
In the middle of the moon, it was gradually approaching midnight, and a gorgeous two-zhang long canopy boat was flowing downstream, a slave was operating the boat at the stern, and the leper Liu was in the cabin without showing up.
Zhang Yi in the ambush couldn't help but be secretly anxious, if he really couldn't do it, he could only miss today, and the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous his sister became.
"What to do?
Just when Zhang Yi was secretly anxious, he only heard the boatman shouting: "Master, I'm home." "There was a thin monkey-like man with a short stature in the boat.
Zhang Yi saw that it was the leper Liu, and he could still vaguely see his disgusting ringworm skin in the moonlight.
Zhang Yi is now calmer, his breathing is becoming more and more slender, his steady hands are thin, carefully adjusting the direction of the shot, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and only the figure of the leper Liu is reflected in the eyeballs.
It may be that he is about to get home, and the leper Liu is just stretching his waist, his hands are empty, away from his heart, and his face is facing the sky.
Zhang Yi gently pulled the trigger, the crossbow arrow was fired, and his people immediately rolled into the river. If the leper Liu did not die, then this river would be his retreat, and if the leper Liu died, he would destroy the boatman's life and make the whole boat disappear together.
Zhang Yi, who rolled into the river, immediately dived and swam under the boat, and when he heard the footsteps of only one person on the boat, Zhang Yi immediately turned over and got on the boat.
I saw that the leper Liu had been hit by three arrows in his body, one arrow in the throat, and two arrows in his chest and abdomen. His hands clenched the tail of the arrow at his throat, the blood had already fainted under him, and his ugly face was completely frozen in the moment of death.
And the boatman was already frightened on the spot, and he was about to scream loudly when he saw Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi rushed forward with a brisk step, grabbed his throat with one hand, and suppressed his exclamation in his throat. A staggered pair of hands displaced his cervical spine.
Zhang Yi lightly pulled the two closer to the cabin, sprinkled the gorgeous silk cloth inside with lamp oil to pile the two up, and then pulled out the crossbow arrows.
A fire ignited the canopy and sent it down the water.
Zhang Yi, who had completed all this, only felt that he had put down a big stone in his heart and could breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yi, who rushed home at midnight, boiled a bucket of water by himself, burned the black clothes and the crossbow together, and the crossbow arrows were also burned and deformed. After destroying all the evidence, he took a hot bath and completely relaxed.
"Ahh Brother, why did you sleep in the bathtub all night?" With a crisp scream, Zhang Yi opened his eyes.
It turned out that he had unknowingly slept in the tub all night, and his limbs in the water were already a little stiff, and the skin on his whole body was wrinkled.
After getting up quickly, he changed into a new dress, and Zhang Yi said to his sister Zhang Yun: "Sister, don't say it." ā
Zhang Yun nodded with some disgust, probably when his stupidity flare up again.
After breakfast, Zhang Yi went to Blacksmith Zhang's shop again, probably thinking that Zhang Yi was dying, and Blacksmith Zhang unceremoniously blasted Zhang Yi out.
"Okay, I'm just about to leave, who wants to give you a hard job. ā
Zhang Yi walked away without hesitation, wandered around the street, and returned home under the eyes of a group of people looking at fools.
"I hope this clears my name. ā
