As soon as Xiao Dezi came to the outside of the cottage, he saw some figures shaking in the woods not far from the cottage.

And these figures are still running towards the grass house at a very fast speed. Seeing these figures, Xiao Dezi couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

"Looks like the man from above has arrived! Ye Qiutong's fire whistle arrow just now didn't play a big role. Although Xiao Dezi's heart was already ecstatic, he didn't dare to express it on the surface.

After all, seeing that the people on his side are about to arrive, wouldn't it be a great loss if Mu Qingyun's gang provoked them at this time and cut themselves down.

"Do you think that the people you sent have already been killed, and you are going to be saved?" Although he was trying his best to hide the joy in his heart, Ye Qiutong's voice shook his heart like a heavy hammer.

As soon as Ye Qiutong's words fell, Xiao Dezi felt that the hairs on his body stood up, and a feeling that suffocated him instantly enveloped him.

Before he could look back to see what had happened, a long knife had pierced his back and pierced his heart.

A cold sensation began to spread from his heart to his chest. Because a large amount of blood poured into the lobes of his lungs, causing him to start choking and coughing.

As he coughed, a large amount of blood began to pour out of his mouth, instantly staining his gray-white servant clothes red.

But even so, his eyes were fixed on the swaying woods in front of him. Just before he felt a bout of vertigo and his consciousness was about to fall into complete darkness, he saw a group of people rush out of the woods.

The leader was a bearded man, and he was followed by a dozen people. Although Xiao Dezi's vision was clear for a while and blurred for a while, his face still showed a smile at the last moment.

For he knew the bearded man who ran at the front, and this was the man who had been handed over to him. It's just that at this time, he can no longer communicate with the bearded man.

But this doesn't matter anymore, after all, these people have already run to a place not far from the grass house, and now even if Ye Qiutong starts shooting arrows, it is impossible to shoot all a dozen people in a short period of time.

And once these people rushed closer, even if Ye Qiutong was a master of archery, it would be useless. As for the other servants around Mu Qingyun, they were just ordinary people, and in the face of the extremely vicious water bandits, they could only be captured.

Thinking of this, Xiao Dezi finally collapsed completely with a smile. It's just that when Xiao Dezi fell, it was not Ye Qiutong but a woman standing behind him.

This woman is Mu Qingyun's maidservant, and she is also a little virtuous person, and she is also familiar with her. And this woman has always been the kind of elegant and gentle little jasper in Xiao Dezi's impression, and even the male servants in the Pingsuri Mansion will blush when they say a few more words to her.

But at this time, she stepped on Xiao Dezi's corpse, and then held the handle of the knife with one hand, and pulled out the long knife inserted in Xiao Dezi's heart with a force.

Immediately, as soon as she threw the long knife, the blood beads on the long knife flew out, and then she returned the knife into the sheath and stood beside Ye Qiutong.

Her set of movements is smooth, and at first glance, she is a master of using a knife. The other servants around him were frightened by her hand.

None of them thought that this woman would have such a great martial arts and hide it so deeply.

At the same time that the woman was dealing with Xiao Dezi, the people who ran out of the woods in the distance were running in terror and began to scatter.

The bearded man who ran at the forefront had already regretted his intestines at this time. Just as they had just sneaked to the edge of the woods, not far from the grasshouse, an arrow with flames and a whistle shot from the direction of the grass house towards the forest where they were.

At first, the bearded men didn't pay much attention to this fire whistle arrow. They thought it might be because the people in the cottage had discovered their presence, and they had fired the whistle arrow to warn them not to come closer.

"This arrow is too far off! If it had been lower, it might have scared us, but now it's a waste of a feathered arrow. One of the bandits looked up at the fire whistle arrows in the sky and couldn't help but scoff.

As soon as he finished speaking, a feathered arrow suddenly came from behind him, piercing him directly through his neck and nailing him to the trunk of a tree.

In an instant, the bearded man realized that he had probably been ambushed by the other party, and just as he was about to open his mouth to warn everyone, one after another feathered arrows shot at them like flying locusts.

At this time, the water bandits who fell at the back were considered unlucky, and a large number of feathered arrows quickly shot them in the back into hedgehogs.

As they fell, the bearded men reacted instantly, and he shouted.

"Everyone, run away." Then he took a step and ran forward, like fish being chased by a net.

As they ran, the people who landed behind were pierced by arrows one by one, and their bodies fell to the ground.

When they rushed out of the woods, less than half of the original team of thirty or forty people remained. At this moment, the bearded man and his subordinate bandits had no idea how to assassinate Mu Qingyun, and as for the coveted commission, he didn't want it at all.

After all, no matter how much money you make, it's useless to spend it without a small life. But at this time, although they already had the intention of escaping, the people in the woods did not plan to let them go.

Just after the bearded man and the others completely ran out of the woods, twelve more people came out of the woods. The men were all dressed in yellow-green clothing, and each of them carried a longbow in his hand, and a pot of feathered arrows on his shoulder.

Immediately after rushing out of the woods, the men stood still and began to bend their bows and arrows, and in the next moment several others were shot to the ground.

Listening to the whistling sound of the feather arrow flying past his ears, the bearded man was really remorseful at this time.

If he knew that he would end up in such a situation now, he should have listened to the flower ruler tree. It's just that it's hard to buy a thousand dollars, and I know that I can't buy regret medicine in this world, and the shameful man's remorse can only completely dissipate with a feather arrow piercing the back of his head.

And the rest of the people were also killed by the arrows of these twelve people. When the last man fell, the twelve archers also relaxed completely, and slowly walked in the direction of the grass house.

And when they approached one of the bandits who had been shot, one of the archers suddenly drew the feathered arrows from the quiver and shot them into the heart of the bandit lying on the ground.

"Ahh With a scream, the water bandit, who was already a corpse, suddenly screamed. Then he began to twitch on the ground until he lost his breath completely.

Seeing that the bandit was silent this time, the archer who shot the arrow deliberately kicked him in the head. Then two more people shot feathered arrows and killed the bandits who were lying on the ground and pretending to be dead.

When the twelve archers had checked all the battlefields, they walked to the grass. After coming to the grass house, the twelve people immediately knelt down together, and then shouted to Ye Qiutong Master.

It turned out that these twelve archers were all brought out by Ye Qiutong, and it was no wonder that they were only twelve people just now, but they were able to kill all the forty or fifty water bandits.

And the twelve of them also achieved no casualties at all, although they did have the suspicion of putting cold arrows behind the backs of others, but this could not hide the fact that they were masters of archery.

"Get up!" Although his twelve apprentices shot forty or fifty enemies to death, Ye Qiutong still didn't say a word.

He just leaned his back and slowly walked towards Mu Qingyun.

"Your Highness, those guys outside who don't know the height of the sky have all been shot by the old servant's apprentices." At this time, Mu Qingyun finally put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and then spoke slowly.

"Thank you, Ye Ban'er." Although Mu Qingyun's words are only seven words, the emotions contained in them are real.

At this time, on the Huaishui, the three people on the willow leaf boat were seriously observing the battle situation outside the grass house.

"It seems that the matter was really guessed by the adults, and this prince of Huainan is really a thoughtful person." A person on the willow leaf boat held a cylindrical thing in his hand, observed in the direction of the grass house for a while, and slowly spoke.

Immediately, the man beside him took the cylindrical object from his hand and put it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

"My lord, are we going to get rid of these twelve people?" The man watched for a while and found no one else coming out of the woods, so he relented.

"Although these twelve archers have good archery skills, that's all, we can't expose all the hole cards for these twelve people." The man in the middle of the willow boat spoke slowly.

"What are we going to do next, my lord?" The two people next to him asked in unison.

"Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done one by one." Then he put his finger in his mouth and blew violently, and a loud whistle resounded over the water.

Not long after his whistle fell, the three of them heard a whistle of the same rhythm from a reed swing in the Huaishui not far away.

Soon a small boat appeared in the midst of the reeds, and in this small boat stood a handsome young man with a slender figure, but the young man had a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that in addition to the group of water bandits, my lord also ambushed a group of people here." Seeing that the boat on the opposite side was getting closer and closer to his willow boat, the guy who had just proposed to kill all the twelve archers said with a flattering expression.

"Didn't you just say that you were not right with these twelve archers?" The other asked, tilting his head a little inexplicably.

"Who told you that Mu Qingyun only arranged twelve archers?" The man who had been turned into an adult by the other two said with a look of disdain.

Then he waved his hand towards the boat opposite, and the handsome young man standing at the bow of the boat immediately nodded, and then he put his finger again, and after a loud whistle, the hundreds of people hidden in the reeds immediately rushed in the direction of the grass house.

The handsome man who took the lead immediately shouted, "Kill!

"Running forward." The others followed him and swarmed towards the cottage.

The collective charge of these hundreds of people on the edge of this Huaishui is also spectacular. The three men standing on the willow leaf boat couldn't help but sigh that the young man was impulsive, and soon the earth-shattering shouts and dense figures appeared outside the grass house again.

"Shoot me hard right now!" Ye Qiutong took his bow and arrow and led his twelve apprentices to stand outside the grass house, they lined up and then began to bend their bows and arrows and shoot towards the people who rushed towards the grass house.

When the rain of arrows was about to reach him, the old man immediately took something out of the back of his neck and blocked it in front of him.

Then the feather arrow was gone

"Whoosh" shot at the round thing, and the other people on the run also took out what they were carrying behind them.

Those people blocked the thing in their hands directly in front of their chests, and for a moment the feather arrows blocked this thing.

Originally, Ye Qiutong thought that this wave of attacks by himself and his apprentices would be able to take down more than a dozen people. But the result was not as good as they expected, and there was not a single casualty among the hundreds.

And Ye Qiutong was also interested in what those people were holding in their hands. When those people were less than a hundred meters away from him, Ye Qiutong finally saw clearly what these people were holding in their hands.

It turned out that these things turned out to be hats made of bamboo. Although these hats may seem extremely ordinary, they are actually specially made.

First of all, the raw materials of these hats are different from ordinary hats, and under normal circumstances, the hats are made using ordinary pillars.

But the hats in the hands of these people were made of fine arrows and bamboo. In addition, bamboo strips are generally used when weaving hats, but these hats are made of a whole slender arrow bamboo.

Since these hats are made of whole bamboo, this ensures the toughness of the hats, so when the arrows hit these hats, they did not shoot through the hats directly, but were stuck in the hats.

"I don't believe our arrows can't penetrate some of our hats." Seeing that his feather arrows were blocked by a few broken hats, one of the twelve people couldn't help but say angrily.

His shout also ignited the morale of his other archers. They didn't pause after this wave of arrows, and they still bent their bows and shot at the hats.

This time they used a lot more force than before, because in his opinion, the reason why they didn't shoot through the hat just now was because they didn't use enough strength.

"Bell!" With a sound similar to the collision of metal, those arrows were still blocked by these hats.

In a moment, the twelve archers were completely overwhelmed by the strange hat of the other party.

However, not everyone present was in vain, among them, Ye Qiutong shot three arrows and killed the other three people.

For a while, the momentum of rushing forward also began to ease because of Ye Qiutong's hundred shots.

"Aim for these guys in the leg and shoot, they won't have time to resist." Seeing that the arrows he had shot were useful, he immediately opened his mouth to alert his apprentice.
