Chapter Forty-Seven: One Arrow Relieves a Thousand Sorrows
Hong Rong's continuous screams were particularly poignant in the chaos of the Yan family.
At this time, many of the Yan family's family members and subordinates were busy fetching water to put out the fire, but there were still Yan family's guards who heard Hong Rong's cry and ran towards the backyard.
Yan Liqiang was also running, and under him was the roof of a room in the Yan family's mansion, and under his feet were pieces of tiles and eaves.
Hong Rong hid behind the flower platform in that courtyard, which was the dead end of the shooting, and he had to rush to that courtyard to solve Hong Rong's problem.
The Yan family has already killed four, and this Hong Rong naturally can't let it go.
Yan Liqiang's heart was as murderous as a dragon.
Carrying a quiver on his back and holding a horned python bow wrapped in cloth, he ran lightly across two courtyards and a courtyard wall like a cat jumping on the roof, and then jumped from the courtyard wall more than three meters high to the courtyard at once.
One of the Yan family's guards was the first to rush to the courtyard from another door, and the courtyard also saw Yan Liqiang, the two sides were ten meters apart, and after being slightly stunned, the courtyard screamed, and rushed towards Yan Liqiang with a knife.
Draw arrows, draw bows, shoot arrows - Yan Liqiang's three actions were done in one go, and in the blink of an eye, the Yan family's courtyard only ran three steps, and the arrow in Yan Liqiang's hand had already pierced the right shoulder of the courtyard.
The huge force of the bow flew backwards with the guard, and then fell heavily to the ground, completely incapacitating the guard.
After advancing to the Triple Heaven Realm in the Archery Dao and feeling that it would be difficult to advance to the Quadruple Heaven Realm in a short period of time, these days, one of the actions that Yan Liqiang practiced the most in his archery cultivation was to draw arrows and tie the strings, and he was pursuing to complete the attack in the shortest time. For an archer, the speed of the arrow, that is, the rate of fire of the bow and arrow, becomes the most critical factor in determining victory or defeat in the hand-to-hand combat.
"Killer, killer here......" In the courtyard, Steward Hong, who had just been frightened, was like a chicken, pulling his neck and screaming in the yard.
Yan Liqiang shot an arrow, and the thigh of the Hong steward, who was still riding a rhinosaurus horse a few days ago, condescendingly looked at Yan Liqiang, was pierced by an arrow in an instant, and the Hong steward fell, and the shout turned into a wail, holding his thigh and rolling in pain on the ground.
Yan Liqiang quickly rushed to the courtyard.
Hong Tao was still standing dumbfounded, looking at the corpses of Hong Chengshou and Hong Ding on the ground, with a smirk on his face, as if he was stupid.
When he rushed over, Yan Liqiang had already aimed the arrow at Hong Tao, but the moment he made empty eye contact with Hong Tao, Yan Liqiang turned his bow and arrow in one direction and shot towards the courtyard gate behind him.
The second guard rushed in, and as soon as he turned the courtyard gate, he didn't even see Yan Liqiang's figure, he was shot in the thigh by an arrow, and fell to the ground with a scream.
Yan Liqiang's movements were as accurate as an automatic rifle, and almost at the moment when the arrow left the bowstring, his hand pulled out a backhand, and then pulled out an arrow from the quiver he was carrying, quickly put it on the bowstring, and rushed to the side of the flower bed in two strides.
Hong Rong, who was hiding behind the flower stand, looked at Yan Liqiang with a bow and arrow facing him with extremely shocked eyes, his mouth opened slightly, and the stunned eyes seemed to be saying four words - why are you?
Looking at Hong Rong's appearance, Yan Liqiang knew that Hong Rong had also met with the mountain wind.
The two were less than ten meters apart, Yan Liqiang's hand was loosened, the arrow was off the string, Hong Rong's head was like being shot at close range, and the arrow pierced through the eye socket, and exploded in an instant, blood spilled on the ground, and hung up without saying a word.
Another Hong family's courtyard rushed in, but it was still useless, Yan Li forcibly opened a bow, and the right shoulder of the Hong family's courtyard was instantly pierced and fell to the ground.
"Everyone, be careful...... The assassin had a bow in his hand...... "There was a mess outside the courtyard, until this time, Yan Liqiang killed all the people who could be in charge of the Hong family, and those who were about to rush over knew what kind of weapon Yan Liqiang was holding in the courtyard.
The word "with a bow", in this era, is like hearing "there is a gun" in the ears of ordinary people, and it has a huge deterrent power.
Listening to the screams of a few undead people in the courtyard, a bunch of guards crowded outside the courtyard, for a while, no one dared to rush in, there was a mess outside the courtyard, but someone was shouting, "Go get the shield, go get the shield...... "Go get the crossbow, get the crossbow......"
Of course, Yan Liqiang would not wait for the Hong family's guards to rush in with shield machine crossbows, after killing Hong Rong, he had already rushed towards the courtyard wall, kicked twice with his feet on the courtyard wall, and had already climbed the courtyard wall more than two meters high, and then ran along the courtyard wall, ran on the roof, and quickly ran towards the back of the Hong family's house.
In the easternmost part of Liuhe Town, the Hong's house is the periphery of the Hong's backyard, which is a small garden in Hong's alley, and the outside of the garden is the suburbs of Liuhe Town.
"The assassin is on the roof, the assassin is on the roof......" The Hong family courtyard below saw Yan Liqiang running on the roof, and shouted while chasing Yan Liqiang below and running towards the back.
There was a nursing home who also jumped onto the courtyard wall and wanted to climb the roof of the mountain, Yan Liqiang backhanded an arrow, which hit the nursing courtyard in the thigh, and the nursing courtyard screamed and fell off the wall.
Just ran through two rooms, and suddenly, with a bang, Yan Liqiang only felt a strong wind flying over more than a meter away from him, which made Yan Liqiang suddenly startled, and when he looked back, several of the Hong family's nursing homes were in a courtyard not far away, holding a crossbow at himself, and the arrow just now was shot by the Hong family's nursing home with a crossbow.
Yan Liqiang didn't think about it, turned around and shot an arrow, and before the Hong family nursing home with the crossbow could load the second crossbow arrow in the crossbow, Yan Liqiang's arrow had already directly hit the heart of the nursing courtyard, piercing the heart with an arrow, and killing the nursing courtyard on the spot.
This is the first person Yan Liqiang killed in the Hong family tonight in addition to the Hong family.
A nursing home next to him subconsciously wanted to pick up a crossbow, but Yan Liqiang shot another arrow, directly nailing the palm of the nursing home to the ground.
Two arrows were fired, and several Hong family guards next to them were so frightened that they hurriedly ran away, and they didn't dare to show their heads.
Yan Liqiang continued to run towards the back, while running, he changed his voice and shouted in a rough voice, "The Hong family hired me to deal with the Yan family's father and son, but afterwards I regretted and denied it, I wanted not to give money, I deceived people too much, today I crossed the mountain wind to kill the Yan family, just to seek justice for myself, this is my grievance with the Hong family, who dares to keep me, don't blame me for being ruthless and ......ruthless under the arrows."
After listening to Yan Liqiang's words, the crossbow fell to the ground, but no one dared to pick it up anymore, after all, there are really not many people who don't want to die.
After being killed by a guard, a cadre of the Hong family's guards were babbling and shouting in the courtyard, seemingly chasing Yan Liqiang, but the pace of many people had quietly slowed down a lot.
Yan Liqiang finally ran to the back garden of the Hong family, jumped off the courtyard wall of the garden, and ran towards the field.
A dry Hong family's nursing home and the family chased out with torches, but before chasing out dozens of meters, an arrow suddenly shot from the front, running in the middle of the Hong family's nursing home held in the hand, and then shot away the hat of a Hong family member in the back, the burning torch turned into a pile of sparks in the dark and exploded, a lot of sparks splashed on the faces of the people holding the torches and the hands of others, the hot next to the Hong family's nursing home Ding wow wow screamed, and the Hong family Ding who was shot off the hat turned pale, touched his head and a strand of hair that was taken away, his feet were inexplicably soft, and he almost couldn't stand......
Seeing that the figure in front of him finally disappeared into the darkness, the steps of the Hong family's family members slowed down, swallowed their saliva one by one, glanced at each other, and didn't dare to chase after them.
At this time, the firelight and shouts on the side of the Hong family's mansion, as well as the sound of the gong that sounded quickly, gradually alarmed Liuhe Town......
......
On the Yan family's side, Steward Lu stood in the courtyard, looking at the fire coming out of the east of Liuhe Town and the noise outside, his whole face was a little shocked, I don't know if the people of the Hong family are doing something.
......
While asking the two guards of the Lu family to pay attention to vigilance, he asked Zhou Tiezhu to go outside to inquire about what was going on.
Half an hour later, Zhou Tiezhu came back and told him that it seemed that the Hong family's mansion was on fire and that someone was dead, and Steward Lu's face became wonderful......
"Steward Lu, you said that Liqiang hasn't come back yet, it's going to be fine!" I don't know when, Yan Dechang had slowly walked out of the room by himself, came to the courtyard, looked at the fire on the side of the Hong family, and asked with a worried face.
"Well, Yan Gongzi went out to buy something, maybe he was temporarily delayed by something, Master Yan don't worry......" Steward Lu could only say as calmly as possible, trying to comfort Yan Dechang.
After speaking, they waited in the courtyard, and waited for more than an hour in their hearts, when they heard someone knocking on the door, one of the Lu family's guards opened the door, only to find Yan Liqiang standing outside the door empty-handed.
Seeing Yan Liqiang come back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Liqiang's face did not look different, but was a little relaxed, seeing that Yan Dechang was also waiting for him in the courtyard, he took the initiative to admit his mistake to Yan Dechang, "Originally, I wanted to go to the mountain to pick a little mushroom for your father, but I didn't expect that it would be dark later, and I got lost on the mountain, and after a while, I lost the back basket hoe I brought with me......
Seeing Yan Liqiang come back, Yan Dechang breathed a sigh of relief all of a sudden, where would he worry about the little worthless things he lost with him......
"By the way, I came back just now and met someone in the town, I heard that something seems to have happened to the Yan family......" On the stone table in the courtyard of love, Yan Liqiang was eating the warm meal that Wu's mother brought out for him, while looking at the Lu steward who was quietly looking at him, "That mountain wind, sure enough, is an outlaw, although he is wanted, he has not left Qinghe County, tonight I don't know why, he suddenly ran to the Hong family to kill......"
"What, the mountain wind?" Steward Lu looked surprised, just when he heard that the Hong family had an accident, Yan Liqiang did not come back, and Steward Lu was still speculating whether Yan Liqiang was reckless to find the Lu family's people to take revenge today, and now when he heard Yan Liqiang say that he actually did it over the mountain, the surprise in Steward Lu's heart was completely written on his face.
"What, does Steward Lu think it's someone else?" Yan Liqiang looked at Steward Lu with a smile.
"Ahem...... cough ......" Steward Lu coughed twice, and hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, this kind of thing can only be done by outlaws like the mountain wind, and the Yan family should be careful tonight......"
The Yan family naturally had nothing to do overnight, but the next day, when the exact news of the Hong family finally came, almost the entire Qinghe County was shaken......
