193 Growth

"Will there be a war in Yancheng?"

"In the seemingly peaceful prosperous world, there will always be people standing in the dark shadows, with bloody hands."

"Really? …… Oh, yes. Jing Xi asked himself and looked down at his palm.

Obviously, it's very clean.

But it's not clean again.

……

The sun has risen for a new day, and light has come down on this land again.

Uncle Sun and Xiao Sanniang and their family were packing their luggage.

Because Sheng Ting had already sent people to inform the residents of this area, they would not stop them if they wanted to continue to live here, but Yancheng welcomed them very much.

It was useless for the king of Qi to ask for an empty city, he wanted people, productivity, and taxes, so the people of Sheng Court spent twelve points of energy lobbying.

And it works well, and most people are willing to move out of the mountains.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, Uncle Sun is a hunter.

He cherishes his hunting tools, big and small.

But he couldn't take all the old guys who had been with him for decades away.

When Jing Xi changed his clothes and went out, Uncle Sun was looking at a bow and was distracted.

It wasn't until Jing Xi walked in front of him that he came back to his senses.

Uncle Sun glanced at Jing Xi and smiled: "It fits perfectly, but you are thinner than him." ”

Uncle Sun was talking about the clothes on Jing Xi's body, which belonged to his late son.

Because Jingxi's clothes are dirty and torn, he can't wear them anymore.

Jing Xi sat down on a stake opposite Uncle Sun, looked at the glowing bow that had already been touched, and asked:

"It's been a few years, you can take it to Yancheng, go around the mountains in your spare time, hunt a rabbit or something."

"yes, it's been years. My son has used it for more than thirty years and is not going to take it away. Leave it to him, and lay it on his grave.

Actually, I had never hunted with a bow or arrow, and my leg, as well as one of my son's eyes, had been shot by the Ugin people more than thirty years ago.

My son and I wanted to get revenge, but we never had this chance, and he never had this chance again. Do you want to try it? Draw the bow and shoot the arrow. ”

"May I?"

Uncle Sun handed over the bow and arrows to Jing Xi.

Jing Xi took it, and she was a little unaccustomed to it at first, because this was not her hand.

There is a target in her yard and she practices archery every day.

……

Sheng Ting and his men changed into the clothes of the soldiers of the Ugin Kingdom and stood guard at the exit of the mountain, as if nothing had happened last night to outsiders.

At noon, the more than 300 people who had gone up the mountain first returned.

One by one, they returned with a full load of prey, and their laughter could be heard from afar.

Sheng Ting had already received information long before they returned, so he gave an order to every family to lock the courtyard door early.

Just wait for the more than 300 people to enter their encirclement.

But after all, there are many fresh faces among the people in Sheng Ting's belt, and every household in the village abnormally closes the courtyard door, and the people of Ugin finally found the clue.

However, by the time they could react, it was too late, and most of them were besieged, leaving only the last few dozen people in the group to escape.

After Sheng Ting narrowed the encirclement, he urgently dispatched a squad to chase down the remaining Ugin soldiers.

His order was to 'kill no one, and not one to be spared'

With an average of two to three heads per person, it's not a difficult task.

It's just that I didn't expect that at the end of the pursuit, another team of Ugin soldiers suddenly popped out of the forest, which suddenly disrupted the team's plan.

Sheng Ting frowned, he guessed that the team should have been the team sent into the mountain to search for the corpse before, and they just came back at this time.

After a wild chase in the dense forest, Sheng Ting twisted the necks of two enemies in succession.

At the same time, he also lost the trace of another Ugin soldier, the last one, to be exact.

He frowned, carefully distinguishing the signs of abnormal breaking of branches in the forest, and walked quickly forward.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of branches grinding behind him, and at the same time felt the strong wind of the big knife slashing down.

He quickly turned sideways, and just as he turned his elbow, he saw an arrow burst through the air, steadily and accurately into the eye of the Ugin soldier.

Almost at the same time, he snatched the broadsword from his enemy's hand and swept it through.

A human head fell to the ground in an instant, and the blood splashed his face.

The final kill was complete, and he looked at the archer.

The man was covered with his face, and his clothes were so gray that he couldn't see his face clearly.

And he, again, took up the bow......

Sheng Ting's eyebrows tightened, and he immediately lowered his body and made a roll on the ground, ready to sprint forward to take the person down.

But by the time he stood up, the archers were long gone.

Looking back, the arrow had been shot at the leg of the headless corpse.

Judging from the strength and accuracy of the man's first arrow, his second arrow would not have been so far off. Sheng Ting frowned, which means that the target of his second arrow was not himself, but why did he shoot the leg of a corpse?

Sheng Ting blew a whistle, and the team members approached from all directions in the forest, each carrying a few heads in their hands.

Sheng Ting glanced at it: "There is still one left!" ”

……

"Who!" The soldier had two still bleeding heads hanging from his waist and hooked the neck of the bearer of the bow to use the dagger.

The bearer of the bow carefully opened his arms and dropped the bow in his hand: "My own people." ”

"What kind of face do you cover!"

"I have a swastika, on the back of my neck, I don't believe it, I don't lie to you, General Sheng drew it a few days ago."

The soldier lifted his collar and took a look, and there was indeed a special small hook at the end of the word 'ten'.

The loud whistle sounded again, and the soldiers quickly marched into the woods.

Jing Xi tore off the cloth used to mask his face, picked up the longbow on the ground, put it on his back, and walked back quickly.

In the evening, there was a sudden knock on the door of Jingxi's room.

She quickly pulled up her clothes: "Who?" ”

"It's me, Sheng Ting."

"What's the matter? I'm changing clothes. ”

Sheng Ting clenched the two arrows in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Was it you in the forest just now?" The one that released the arrow. ”

"......" Jingxi was silent for a moment, and then opened the door.

She nodded at Sheng Ting: "It's me." ”

"Did you know that the forest was dangerous at the time?"

Jing Xi frowned and tilted his head.

Sheng Ting stared at her tightly and added, "Do you know that I promised Xiangyun and Murong Gongzi that I would definitely bring you back safely?" ”

"I saved you."

"I don't need you to save me!"

"......" Jing Xi nodded, and there was something in his eyes that he had never had before, "Okay, I'm not here to save you, I just did what I wanted to do and could do." ”
