Xu Yang and his entourage saw a group of bandits rushing towards them in the west, although they knew that with Xu Yang there, they would be safe, but they were extremely timid and panicked in their hearts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yin Su'e and Liu Xiangping saw the bandits running towards them, and out of instinctive reaction, they hurriedly hugged Xu Yang, as if only Xu Yang was in a safe place. Even Gui also hugged Ma Zichen, buried his head in the other party's arms, and didn't dare to look outside.
Xu Yang saw these bandits riding horses, mules, and driving carriages, and the carriages were full of things, as if they were moving, so they couldn't see the edge at a glance, and thought to himself: "I only let the leader of the bandits bring the money in the cottage, why did I bring so many people?"
Just when Xu Yang was muttering in his heart, these bandits all came to Xu Yang and his party, and immediately fell to the ground one by one, and the leader of the bandits shouted: "Back to the master, the little one not only brought money and other things, but also brought his family and brothers. These people all begged to follow the lord to the death, and hoped that the lord would take us in. ”
"Sir, take us!" begged the bandits one by one.
Xu Yang saw that many bandits had taken off their black clothes and changed into cloth clothes and wore them on their bodies, as if they really planned to abandon the darkness and follow him. Ma Zichen and the others saw that the bandits all called Xu Yang master, and they didn't understand when Xu Yang had this title.
Everyone saw that the leader of the bandits was in his thirties, and Xu Yang was in his twenties, and the difference between the two was nearly ten years, so they actually called Xu Yang the master.
Xu Yang saw that the bandits were willing to follow him, and immediately cried and laughed, and said with a smile: "We are just going to Longjing, not to fight or occupy the mountain, it is useless for you to follow me." Besides, what do I want you people to do? Get up, every man to his house, and to do his own business. ”
When the bandits heard that Xu Yang was unwilling to take him in, they immediately knelt there in frustration, waiting for their leader to say a good word for themselves. It turned out that after the leader of the bandits returned to the cottage, he touted Xu Yang as a god, and said that he would follow Xu Yang in the future and let the brothers continue to do the bandits' business.
And these bandits saw that only their leader had returned, and they didn't understand what was going on, but when they heard that the other party was really determined to follow Xu Yang, they immediately begged to take themselves and defect to Xu Yang. Therefore, the bandits moved and begged Xu Yang to take him in.
When the bandits came to the place where Xu Yang and his party were, they were horrified to see that the ground was full of the corpses of their companions, and there were no external injuries on these corpses.
The leader of the bandits saw that Xu Yang rejected his request, and saw that the other party's expression was also non-negotiable, but the brothers around him all cast expectant eyes at him, so he had to give it a try, and said: "Master, although we are all engaged in the bandit business and have killed countless people, but these brothers of mine are all outstanding and expert. Moreover, the old man traveled all the way north to Longjing, and the journey took two months, and there were also numbness on the road. If you bring us brothers, you can bless the master to arrive in Longjing. I hope the lord will think about it and take us in!"
Xu Yang swore not to give up when he saw that the bandits did not follow him, but if he really took in these people, wouldn't it be more and more inconvenient to his movements. Xu Yang was about to forcibly drink the bandits to leave, but it was difficult to convince people when he thought that this was the case.
When Xu Yang heard the leader of the bandits praising his subordinates, he immediately thought about it and said, "You said that all of your men are outstanding people, so let's make a bet." My wife can also shoot a gun, but you might as well compare who can shoot accurately. If you win, then all follow me, and if you lose, only your leaders can follow me. If you don't want to compete, it's okay, then go back all!"
The bandits thought that Xu Yang would come up with some harsh rules, but they didn't think about it, it was a test of marksmanship, and they all looked happy and proud, and they all smiled in their hearts, thinking: "We deal with fire guns all day long, isn't it as good as your lady?"
After Liu Xiangping heard Xu Yang's suggestion, she also knew that the other party was now riding a tiger, and she had to use herself to force these bandits to retreat in the face of the difficulties without hurting each other's faces. Liu Xiangping nodded at Xu Yang, pulled out two short guns from his waist, and held the guns in both hands.
When the bandits saw a woman beside Xu Yang holding two short guns, they knew that they were going to compete with each other, and they couldn't help but look at each other for a while, and they couldn't see where the other party was at stake.
The leader of the bandits looked at Liu Xiangping and said, "Master, this is what you said personally, and when the time comes, we won't have to say anything!"
"Don't worry, if you all win, I will keep my promise and let you follow me all the way north. Xu Yang said.
After hearing Xu Yang's words, the bandits immediately geared up one by one and were eager to try.
Liu Xiangping saw the impatient appearance of the bandits one by one, snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone: "How to compete, say a rule!"
When the bandits were in high spirits, they suddenly heard the cold voice of the other party, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and couldn't help but tremble, how could they not guess that the other party was still a beauty, how could they talk with such a deterrent, and they couldn't help but make people obey each other.
The leader of the bandits saw that he looked away, and said: "We are old men, if we set the rules and let us win, we will naturally be ridiculed and said that we will not be able to win." How to set the rules of the game, you just say. With that, the bandits pulled aside the corpses of the bandits lying on the ground, dug a pit and buried them.
"Hmph! Don't look down on people. Since I am up to me, then I can say: first, we can only play one-on-one, not win more or less, and second, win two out of three. In the first game, it is determined that whoever can hit a copper coin 500 meters away will win; in the second game, it will be determined that whoever can hit the copper coin falling from the air will win; and in the third game, it will be judged that whoever can hit the copper coin on horseback will be considered to win. Do you understand the rules?" Liu Xiangping said.
The bandits also heard the truth, how could they not understand the truth? Suddenly, the leader of the bandits asked people to clear the field, and one person hung two copper coins five hundred meters away, measured the distance again, and signaled that it was time to compete.
The leader of the bandits looked at the little minions behind him, searched and searched, and found a satisfactory subordinate and asked him to compete with Liu Xiangping.
After everyone saw Liu Xiangping and the bandit standing up, they squinted their eyes and looked into the distance, only to vaguely see two copper coins hanging from the tree, ten meters apart from each other, and the red ropes tied to the two copper coins were also swaying from side to side in the breeze, rippling non-stop.
Xu Yang knew from the last time he was on the river that Liu Xiangping's marksmanship was very accurate, but the previous time it was a solid target, and the target was very large, and this time the target was only the size of a copper coin, and it was still 500 meters away, and it was still swaying from side to side. Xu Yang regretted the idea he had just made, but he was relieved when he saw Liu Xiangping still standing there with a calm expression.
Everyone saw that the bandit was holding a firearm and aiming at the copper coin in front of him, while Liu Xiangping was holding a short gun and aiming at the copper coin in front of him. Suddenly, everyone didn't dare to take a breath, holding their breath and concentrating, hoping to use this to change their fate.
And Xu Yang was thinking in his heart: If Liu Xiangping loses, what good excuse will he use to refuse the bandits' request.
With a "bang", Liu Xiangping shot first. Immediately after that, there was another "bang", and the bandit also fired. When everyone saw that both of them had fired, their hearts immediately rose to their throats, and they didn't know who could hit the copper coin and win the first win.
One of the bandits bore the brunt and ran towards the copper coin, which was five hundred meters away. When he saw that Liu Xiangping had beaten the copper coin and disappeared, only a red silk thread was left to wave in the wind, which made his face change greatly;
"Damn it, who won and who lost?" shouted the leader of the bandits.
When the little minion heard his boss shouting, he trembled and said, "It's the master's wife who wins." ”
When the bandits heard that they had lost, they were stunned one by one, and the leader of the bandits looked towards the copper coin with a fierce attitude, only to find that it was their side that lost, so they came back with a depressed face, and glared at the person who was competing with Liu Xiangping, hating how the other party was not angry.
And when Xu Yang and his entourage saw that Liu Xiangping's marksmanship was really accurate, they cheered around each other one by one.
The leader of the bandits kept looking at Liu Xiangping, thinking in his heart that among the women he knew, who would be so accurate in marksmanship. When the bandits thought about all the women, they were horrified to find that the big boss of the Poison Dragon Village was also a woman, and he was also a sharpshooter with two guns, but he had never seen each other, and he didn't know if the other party's marksmanship could compete with the other party. In fact, the bandits didn't know that the object of their competition was the big boss of the Poison Dragon Village himself.
The leader of the bandits shook his head, and got rid of the cranky thoughts in his heart, thinking that it was absolutely impossible for him to meet the other party here so unlucky, and Liu Xiangping was definitely not the big boss of the Poison Dragon Village, and after thinking that he had two more chances on his side, he said: "There are still two more competitions, hurry up!"
After everyone left the open space of the competition one after another, the leader of the bandits thought that he only had two chances left, and if he lost again, he would have to obey Xu Yang's orders. Therefore, the leader of the bandits took the lead and started the second battle with Liu Xiangping.
Liu Xiangping saw that the leader of the bandits had personally gone out this time, and saw that the other party was clinging to the same short gun as herself, and also held two short guns, thinking about the other party's marksmanship and not knowing if she could win herself, and said: "If we compete together, we can say who hit the copper coin in the air." Only when we come one by one can we see who wins and who loses. Either you come first?"
The leader of the bandits was about to agree when he heard that the other party had let him come first, but after thinking about it for a while, he said, "It's a guest from afar, or a lady is preferred!" After speaking, he left the other party's side and made room for the other party, so that the other party could use his skills flexibly.
After Liu Xiangping stood up, he nodded to the bandit on the side, signaling that the other party could throw the money. I saw that the other party came to the field, threw two copper coins into the sky, and flew straight into the sky. Everyone also followed the trajectory of the copper coin, only to see that the copper coin was shining in the sun, and there was no shadow to be found, and they couldn't help but worry about Liu Xiangping.
Liu Xiangping saw the two copper coins soaring into the sky, and then slowly fell towards the ground, and immediately aimed at the trajectory of the two copper coins landing.
Although there was a dazzling sunlight, Xu Yang could still see that Liu Xiangping's two bullets were hitting the copper coin, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, thinking that if he shot to hit the copper coin, he would definitely not be as good as the other party.
When the two copper coins fell from the air, a bandit hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up, and was horrified to see that the two copper coins were all hit by bullets, and the projectile happened to be stuck in the heart of the copper coin, and he was immediately terrified, thinking that the other party was indeed a sharpshooter.
"Damn, did you hit it?" roared the bandit leader.
When the little minion who picked up the copper coins was admiring Liu Xiangping's marksmanship, he heard the voice of dissatisfaction from his leader, and immediately ran towards the other party, presenting the two copper coins in his hand in everyone's field of vision.
When everyone saw that there were two projectiles stuck in the hearts of the two copper coins, they immediately gasped, wondering how Liu Xiangping's marksmanship could be so accurate?
So, Xu Yang and his entourage began to happily congratulate Liu Xiangping again, so angry that the bandits gritted their teeth.
The leader of the bandits snorted coldly, and immediately strode into the field, holding two guns in his hands, and shouted at the men who threw the money: "Throw it to Lao Tzu well! ”
"Wait! If you let your subordinates throw money at you, won't you be invincible and suspected of cheating? I didn't ask my husband to throw money at me just now, and you should also let our side throw money at you, otherwise there is even more possibility of cheating. Liu Xiangping hurriedly stopped.
When the bandit was about to throw money at his leader, he did have selfish intentions, and wanted to throw the copper money slowly and low, the purpose was to let his leader win, but he didn't think that his trick had been noticed by Xu Yang's side.
