Chapter 85: Divine Arrow
There was a long laugh on the hillside, "Dog officer, even if I can't kill you, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive tonight!" ”
Xiao Zhang was so angry that he took the sword from a guard next to him and was about to chase after him.
Several guards followed.
Sizhen hurriedly said: "Poor Kou Mo chase, don't fall for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”
Xiao Zhang stopped and said hatefully, "Did you just let him go like this?" ”
Sizhen sighed slightly: "Don't worry, this is not an ordinary mountain bandit, didn't he say before that he would make it impossible for us to survive tonight, then he will definitely come again." ”
Everyone was stunned, and the deputy envoy of Xindao Kong said well, Qinglong Mountain is already on the edge of Guangxi's territorial boundary, how bold do mountain bandits dare to be so rampant?
Xiao Zhang was even more nervous, and whispered next to Lord Du: "My lord, you said that this Qinglong Mountain is on the edge of the capital, and there are such mountain bandits, Dingfan is responsible for the safety of Guangxi, and Lord Lian doesn't know whether it is an official bandit ......."
Xiao Zhang didn't finish the words of collusion between officials and bandits, but Sizhen already understood what he meant, but Lord Nadu said in disbelief: "Collusion between officials and bandits? How could Liandutong do such a thing? ”
Sizhen pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's hard to say, it's just that mountain bandits have always been seeking wealth, and they will retreat if they miss a blow, and it's really rare to be stubborn like this." How much of our manpower has been lost? ”
After Xiao Zhang brought someone to count the number of people, Lord Du muttered and asked, "Deputy Envoy Kong, if Lord Lian knows, what should we do about this matter?" ”
Thinking of the uncle who taught her martial arts when she was a child, Sizhen shook her head: "It shouldn't be, maybe it's the idea of his subordinates." She glanced at Master Du, "I'm afraid, our whereabouts have been leaked." Someone wanted to borrow Kong's life to force the capital to Liangshan. ”
Lord Du listened to Sizhen's words, and he suddenly realized.
If Sizhen died on the border of Guangxi, whether this matter was instructed by the national security of the line or not, he would bear this reputation, even if he was loyal to the imperial court and loyal to the four zhen, he would be forced by the people under him to support the army and respect himself, so that the imperial court would be in a dilemma, and he would take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, if he ignored it, it would chill the hearts of the generals who were loyal to Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan.
Seeing Lord Du's expression, Sizhen knew that he had figured out this truth, and nodded approvingly.
Lord Du is just a civil official, what happened tonight, it is already very good that he was not frightened, and he can still understand her words in a blink of an eye under the panic, and he is quite bold.
Soon, Xiao Zhang reported the number of people counted, and in the middle of the night, nearly one-third of the guards and sergeants were killed and wounded.
Even one of the people brought by Qi Dongping was hit by an arrow in the arm.
Fortunately, when he saw that the situation was wrong, he had already asked the guards to send Du Dagongzi back to the car, and the stunned boy was only a little frightened.
"My lord, we just caught a mountain bandit and found out about their lair, what should we do next?" Qi Dongping escorted someone over and said to Lord Du, but his eyes were looking at Sizhen.
Master Du stroked the goatee on his chin and also looked at Sizhen: "What does Deputy Envoy Kong mean?" ”
Sizhen hugged his fist at him: "Kong Mou asks for his life, bring some men and horses to attack his unpreparedness, and kill them up the mountain, so that when they move, they will be attacked by the enemy." ”
Master Du looked at her in surprise, and said continuously: "No, no, the son of a daughter can't sit down, how can you-"
"Only in this way can we have a chance of winning, otherwise, if the other party is blocked, we will be blocked here. As for Kong's safety, adults don't have to worry, Kong can protect himself. ”
Sizhen stretched out his hand.
The thrush handed over the bow and arrow.
In the eyes of everyone, Sizhen didn't even aim, so he released an arrow and shot it into the dark mountain forest, and then, he heard a scream, Qi Dongping waved his hand, and the two people flew up the mountain, and after a while, they lifted someone down, and the person was hit by an arrow in the throat.
One of the thinner ones walked up to Master Du with a grin: "My lord, this person is about to light a fire twist, as soon as the fire twist burns the rope, their entire row of rocks will fall and hit us, if it weren't for the arrow of Deputy Kong Envoy, I'm afraid we would all have to die here." ”
It turned out that the mountain bandit said just now that they couldn't survive tonight, it turned out that they wanted to smash them to death with the prepared falling rocks, and the one who was shot to death by Kong Sizhen was the one who stayed at the end and lit the fire.
Lord Du lowered his head, looked at Sizhen a little sluggishly, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
To be able to shoot such an arrow in the dark, and to shoot it so accurately, this eyesight, this ear power......
This kind of archery can only be described as terrifying! I didn't expect King Dingnan to have such a daughter...... It's really a tiger father and no dog girl!
Of course, Lord Du didn't know, Sizhen in order to take revenge, practiced three times in winter, practiced three times in summer, and never stopped for a day, just to practice the arm strength of the bow, she once held an empty bow, and stood still with both hands in the posture of pulling the bow for an hour or two, at the beginning, it was a small bow, a wooden bow, and then a big bow and an iron bow.
As for eyesight, in addition to what her father taught her in the past, she also learned from Qi Niangzi, at first she was shooting arrows in the sunlight outside, and later, Qi Niangzi locked her and her brothers in a meditation room in Guanghua Temple, the windows were covered with black paper, and candles were lit to shoot arrows, and the candles were reduced one by one, and the arrow targets painted on the wall became smaller and smaller, until they could shoot a bullseye the size of a fingerprint in the dark......
In the end, they threw a hornet's nest into it and told them to shoot down the hornets one by one, and there was also a requirement to shoot only the head, or the left wing and the right wing.
Under such training, although the mountain bandit only wiped the flint, he was still discovered by Sizhen.
When learning these skills, Sizhen has never been a girl or a character with a bewitching arrogance, and even, she is harder and more attentive than others. Because she deeply understands that in the barracks, at the beginning, people may give her a little thin noodles because she is Kong Youde's daughter, but if she doesn't have real skills, it is impossible to really convince those soldiers who lick blood on the tip of the knife.
Lord Du was just surprised, and Xiao Zhang on the side was admiring the five-body throw.
The first time I saw this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with an extremely beautiful appearance, Xiao Zhang was unimpressed, in his opinion, Sizhen, who was wearing a brocade robe, with fine white skin, eyes like lacquer, and every move was a magnificent young man, but he was an arrogant boy from the above family, and he followed this errand to mix up qualifications. Maybe because the family is rich, so even the adults of his family are polite, Deputy Kong makes the former Deputy Kong Deputy Envoy, driving and living in the hotel, all based on the opinions of this young man, although Xiao Zhang doesn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart, he doesn't treat these four chastities very much, and thinks that she has fine skin and tender meat, and can't bear any hardship, but I didn't expect that people have such a good archery skill.
He clenched his fists and said: "Deputy Envoy Kong, my subordinates are willing to go to the mountain bandit village with you......"
Sizhen smiled slightly: "Zhang Zuoling, Lord Du still wants you to protect here, and another, the mountains and rocks here do not fall, after a long time, the mountain bandits will inevitably become suspicious, you have to let them go forward a few miles, and then send someone to burn the rope, the mountain stone falls, and at that time, the mountain bandits think we are dead, and they will definitely send someone to check, we just caught him off guard......"
After hearing the words, Xiao Zhang nodded again and again.
**
It's horrible, these people are horrible.
The mountain bandit boss Moda wiped a handful of blood from his face and thought as he ran.
There are more than 100 people under his command, all of whom have killed people with knives, among them, there are also one or twenty people like him who have been on the battlefield, usually on Qinglong Mountain, by virtue of the terrain, it can be said that it is to call for wind and rain, not to mention the general tourists, businessmen are afraid, it is the garrison of Taining County, because they have not fallen well in several confrontations, and they are also afraid of three points, so that later, an unwritten rule was formed with them, Qinglong Mountain belongs to them, and usually they rob money without hurting their lives, and the government will ignore it.
This time, Zhao Dutou of Taining County personally brought him a message and asked him to make a big ticket, and said that if he robbed and killed these officers and soldiers who came from the north, not only would the property belong to them, but Zhao Dutou would also give another thousand two hundred silver. Although at the beginning, he heard that he was going to rob and kill the officers and soldiers, and he was a little reluctant, after all, as a last resort, Mo Da also knew that it was best not to clash with the officers and soldiers, but later, he was still moved by Zhao Dutou.
Anyway, the county official is not as good as the current official, the people from the capital, if there is an earthquake, the mountain and rocks roll down, and suddenly stoned to death, even if they come to check, there are also county officials and Zhao Dutou They explained, he Qinglongzhai got money and did not have to show his head, the most suitable is However, such a good thing, although it is a little dangerous, it is also worth a vote.
After all, wealth is in danger. Besides, these officers and soldiers from the capital have never been on the battlefield, thinking that they will be great if they are on the martial arts training ground.
Unexpectedly, just when they heard the rumbling of the rocks and the flames, and wanted to celebrate in a hurry, the mountain gate was coaxed open by a brother who was left to watch the movement.
The dozen or so people who came in attacked them like chopping melons and vegetables.
In less than an hour, his men and horses were killed and wounded.
Even he, the big leader, could only see that the situation was not good, and hurriedly fled.
When Lao Tzu finds Zhao Dutou and borrows soldiers, he must kill you!
Just when Moda was thinking hatefully, he suddenly felt a chill in his vest, and he rolled forward without thinking, and then he felt a cold wind sliding down his back, and he didn't even dare to turn his head back, so he ran away, for fear that it would be too late to delay the opportunity, and as a result, he froze there without running ten steps.
On the other side, a young man looked at him with a bow and a smile, and next to him, there was a man holding a torch.
Under the firelight, Moda saw that the boy looked no more than fifteen or sixteen, and his appearance was extremely beautiful, if it weren't for the thick and dark eyebrows, he would look a little like a girl, although he was holding an empty bow in his hand, and the arrow was not on the string, but Moda did not dare to be careless.
He couldn't forget that it was this quiet and beautiful young man who shot out all the lights in their cottage in just a moment, and blinded one of his eyes before the last light went out!
