Chapter 13: Fighting
Gu Zhiqing also took action the moment they jumped over the wall. His movements were extremely light, and with the help of the shade of a tree, his body almost scratched the dozens of meters of courtyard wall without a trace.
Finally, he fell to the position where the spies had just fallen, and he took a seat behind them, followed them step by step into the courtyard, and then let him bypass the guest room where the sailors were, and went directly to the study on the left.
"It seems that they have a clear purpose, they are looking for something" Gu Zhiqing followed them all the way.
Until they found them in the study picking up the ledgers they had put on the table during the day, they suddenly woke up and said, "Sure enough, they are still here for this."
Knowing the true purpose of these people, Gu Zhiqing no longer hesitated, and quickly rushed into the study.
Then there was a snorting sound similar to the extinguishing of a lamp and candle, one by two, and in the blink of an eye, those who were still reflected in the window lattice disappeared one by one, and finally only one person was left, he was Gu Zhiqing, he turned on the fire fold and lit the lantern. There were corpses all over the house, and they were all stabbed in the throat without exception, and the blood was still spurting blood, like a blood-colored plum blossom fountain.
Gu Zhiqing took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, walked to the corpse, and splashed it casually. In less than a quarter of an hour, these spies were completely erased from the world, and in this day and age, no one can find any trace of their existence.
"A group of Deadpools, it seems that they are not the main masters" Originally, Gu Zhiqing thought that they were his real opponents, but after fighting, he realized that these people were not real spies at all, at best, they were Deadpool.
Just when some of them were captured alive by Gu Zhiqing, they would immediately bite the pill in their mouths and commit suicide.
The clues were completely cut off, and Gu Zhiqing's original idea of continuing to track them down was completely shattered.
Gu Zhiqing waited in the study for another hour, and found that no one had sneaked in, so he also found a room, and then set up some departure mechanisms, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning.
The sailors rushed out of the room with panicked expressions on their faces, and immediately rushed to the front yard to find Gu Zhiqing's whereabouts.
They were all sent to protect Gu Zhiqing, and they didn't know why they got drunk last night.
I slept in that room all night.
They were really afraid that Gu Zhiqing would have an accident, and they would not be able to explain to Lin Hubing Cao at that time.
When they turned the courtyard gate, they saw Gu Zhiqing cutting wood with a knife.
Only then did they take a long breath and hurriedly rushed over to check if Gu Zhiqing had any harm or something.
"Don't worry, nothing happened last night, I just slept and it was dawn"
"Really," the sailors scratched their scalps and glanced at each other.
Gu Zhiqing secretly laughed, "At this level, if those people really came to deal with them, they would have died a long time ago."
However, Gu Zhiqing also knows that soldiers and rivers and lakes are two different things, and in the military formation, it is more about group cooperation, as well as strategy and tactics, rather than individual bravery.
"Brother Gu, are you making a crossbow?" One of the sailors looked curiously at the half-finished product assembled in Gu Zhiqing's hand.
"It's about the same, it's just that some slight adjustments have been made in some places" Gu Zhiqing quickly assembled a few wooden strips together, and then took out a long blade that was made from the blacksmith yesterday. Use it as a launch crossbow for a crossbow.
"Bullets made of iron?" The sailor stared at the crossbow piece in Gu Zhiqing's hand with a shocked expression.
"It's not iron, it's steel, it's steel with a certain degree of resilience"
Homemade crossbows and bows were a compulsory lesson for him as an agent.
Because in many cases, they simply cannot carry thermal weapons with them, they have to make them themselves.
In the memories of the sailors, the crossbow arrows they used were all made of cow tendons, so they were very curious about the new crossbow arrows made of steel in Gu Zhiqing's hand.
Gu Zhiqing also deliberately satisfied their curiosity, so he handed the crossbow arrow to one of the sailors and said: "You come and shoot at that wall, and then use your own crossbow to fire, compared to the two, you know how powerful this crossbow arrow is."
The sailor held the new crossbow arrow in his hand, and then pulled out his waist to supply the crossbow arrow.
The left and right hands were raised at the same time, and they began to pull the mechanism against the opposite wall, and suddenly a whooshing sound was heard.
Several arrows from the wooden poles were fired at the opposite wall, and with a thud, the wooden shafts let out a loud tremble.
At this time, some sailors went up to inspect and found that there was only one arrow shaft on the wall, and the other one had long since completely submerged into the wall.
The sailor's eyes widened in astonishment, and after he grabbed the dirt with his hand, he revealed an inch of the wooden pole before he was convinced that what he saw in his eyes was real.
"This steel piece can really be used to shoot crossbow arrows," the sailor with the new crossbow arrow in his hand had a look of hope in his eyes.
Then he fell in love with the new bolt and even hung it around his waist.
"Brother Gu, can you still make this kind of crossbow arrow? I can talk to Lin Hu Bing Cao, and order some for you, if you have this kind of crossbow arrow, the brothers can burn a few people to death if they go to suppress the bandits."
Gu Zhiqing pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not difficult to make, but this material is not easy to find."
"Brother Gu, do you mean this is made of shrunk?" The sailor instantly pulled out the crossbow arrow from his waist and put it in his hand to observe the steel bullet.
"It's this kind of steel, which needs strong resilience and hardness, if the material doesn't match, this crossbow can't be remade" Gu Zhiqing deliberately sighed.
"Brother Gu, then where did you get this rebound steel?" The sailor still stepped forward to ask.
Gu Zhiqing took advantage of the situation and said: "My rebound steel is made from a treasure knife in Su Ye's hand, but it's a pity that Su Ye's treasure knife has already been smelted by me, where can I find the exact same?"
Hearing this, the sailor's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is this the case?" he immediately turned around and pulled out a long knife from another sailor.
In fact, Gu Zhiqing had already discovered the saber on his waist, so he naturally knew that it was exactly the same as Su Ye. I'm afraid that Su Ye's knife was also given to him by Lord Duwei.
"That's right, it's this kind of long knife," Gu Zhiqing pretended to be stunned.
"If you use such a long knife to make crossbow arrows, it is simple, we still have many such long knives in the warehouse, don't you know, our southern sailors do not like to use this kind of long knife, it is extremely uncomfortable to hold in the hand, so they are discarded in the warehouse, but this crossbow is our favorite weapon"
The sailor's rhetoric also confirmed Gu Zhiqing's inner speculation, he had long seen that the long knife was not made by the southern sailors, but a long knife that could only exert its power on horseback and cut off the horse's legs.
"In that case, as long as I can get together the materials to make a crossbow, I can transform a new crossbow for you."
