In the fourth month, the overlord gun and the eight-pole gun were completed, and the archery was small. During the infantry battle, Liu Jizu could already tie with Elder Xiang with a gun, and his archery could hit the target within 100 steps.

In this regard, even Hou Changlao, who has always been very arrogant, had to say: "I have been learning this arrow for a year to have this kind of accuracy, and you can reach this level in a month, I have nothing to teach you, just practice the rest by yourself!"

In the fifth month, the Overlord Gun and the Eight Pole Gun were out of the division, and Elder Xiang was no longer Liu Jizu's opponent on foot or immediately. The archery is complete, and the arrows can hit the bull's-eye within 100 steps, the arrows hit the target within 150 steps, and half of the targets within 200 steps.

Even Elder Long was secretly frightened when he saw it, saying that if it was an arrow shot at a close range or a sneak attack at night, the lethality of this bow and arrow would be just as effective against the masters of the rivers and lakes. He vigorously said that it was a pity that the bow and arrow were banned by the imperial court, and then encouraged Liu Jizu to practice archery immediately.

In the sixth month, the Shadow Sword was released, and the seemingly timid Company Elder turned out to be a master of assassination.

Elder Long even said that except for a few people in the ancestral sect and the sect, Elder Lian when he was young could kill whoever he wanted.

Liu Jizu didn't believe it at first, but one night, when Elder Lian came to Elder Long to help find a loophole in his martial arts, Liu Jizu happened to be there, and Elder Lian didn't know whether he showed his hand intentionally or unintentionally, which scared Liu Jizu into a cold sweat. At that time, it was already dark, and the Lian Elder who was originally in front of him suddenly disappeared, and with Liu Jizu's ears, eyes, and perception, he didn't even notice his existence at all. At this time, Elder Lian suddenly patted him on the shoulder behind him, and Liu Jizu broke out in a cold sweat, almost scaring his heart out. From then on, he no longer dared to underestimate Elder Lian, and he also studied this martial art with extra care.

On the surface, the Dark Hand Sword is just a martial art, but in fact, in order to complete the assassination mission, it requires a series of martial arts to cooperate. The whole set of martial arts includes many techniques such as light body, rest, observation, stealth, surprise, fighting, retreat, and throwing knives, so it is more appropriate for this martial art to be called assassination. Originally, it was not easy to master so many techniques, especially light body and flying knives. But Liu Jizu knows how to follow the steps, and has learned a secret weapon with Wu Lun, so he also has some foundation to learn, and it is not difficult, but he needs to change the power point, center of gravity and strength.

In addition to the strong martial arts, the Lian Elder has no experience in the rivers and lakes. He is extremely good at observing and hiding, and even has a knack for letting him blend in with the crowd, and a few people disappear in the blink of an eye. For this reason, Liu Jizu specifically consulted, and Elder Lian told him that the trick was to make himself the same as the people around him, and then effectively use others and obstacles to block his vision, and quickly change out of his original clothes.

Liu Jizu also carried out special training for this purpose, although it had a certain effect, but it was always unable to catch up with the company elders.

After watching his demonstration, Elder Lian analyzed that he was not good enough, firstly because his movements were not natural and skillful enough, and secondly, because he was outstanding in size and his appearance was not ordinary enough. Liu Jizu could only make up for this by practicing harder, so in addition to Elder Long, Liu Jizu had studied with Elder Lian for the longest time and learned the most, and the more he learned, the more he admired Elder Lian.

The level of archery is also getting higher and higher, and he can now hit half of the bullseye at a distance of 150 steps, and he can also hit the bullseye within 100 steps of archery on horseback. Liu Jizu thought to himself that although the academy is not authentic, it has really accumulated a lot of stunts and cultivated a lot of talents over the years, it can be said that it is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, if anyone can gather these people together, it is really amazing!

Elder Long helped him even more, in addition to guiding him to learn martial arts, answering various questions, and helping him find out the drawbacks of each martial art and how to deal with it. More importantly, he guided him according to Yang Shengwu's silk book and helped him integrate the martial arts he had learned. Whenever he encountered a problem, as long as he mentioned a point, Liu Jizu immediately became enlightened, allowing him to avoid a lot of detours. The reason why Liu Jizu was able to learn so quickly was that it was impossible without Elder Long's guidance.

In the past half a year, Liu Jizu can be said to have been reborn. In the more than ten years at home, he laid the foundation, learned literature and martial arts, and accumulated a lot of money, but the life in the small mountain village was peaceful, and on the whole, Liu Jizu was not greatly touched. In less than a year since he left home, he has experienced several big twists and turns:

The first murder outside the post station made him realize the sinister nature of the human heart and the cruelty of the rivers and lakes;

The arrogance of the six surnamed disciples in the sect made him realize the hot and cold state of the world in the rivers and lakes;

The sleek city government of Feng Siye and Hou Tong made him realize the complexity and insidiousness of the human heart;

The gentleness of the seventh sister made him experience the joy of humanity and made him a man;

Siyizhuang's humiliation and revenge made him experience setbacks and defeat his demons;

And Shi Zu, Elder Long and others led him into a new realm of martial arts.

His understanding of martial arts has now reached an unprecedented height, and when a move came before, he only knew how to instinctively use his own moves to deal with it, but he never considered why he wanted to deal with it this way, and whether it was the best way to deal with it. Now it's different, every time the opponent hits, he can analyze a lot of information through some details just by looking at it.

For example, the opponent's height, weight, strength, martial arts type, weapon characteristics, as well as his attack points, power points, possible changes in the next move, and even which method can be used to knock down or even kill the opponent more effectively. It's as if the other person's speed is slowed down, and he has more time to observe, think, and respond.

When he first felt this way, Liu Jizu thought it was an illusion. Later, he found that this feeling often occurs when fighting with people, and he realized that he had changed. It's a fantastic change that makes him feel extra relaxed when dealing with people. When Elder Long saw him for the first time, he thought he had seen his ancestor in a trance, and he rubbed his eyes only to find that it was Liu Jizu.

Elder Long said to himself, "The Sect has grown taller again, and he is more like his ancestor, how can he feel so similar to people. is so calm, as if he has seen through the opponent. Could it be that he has reached the level of Senior Brother Yang now? He is not yet seventeen years old! How is it possible?"

And Liu Jizu in the field was even more excited, since he was able to control this ability independently, as long as he fought for a period of time, he could defeat or kill the opponent at any time after he discovered the opponent's loopholes. But he never did that, but deliberately hid it like he did when he fought against Wu Lun before. But this method seemed a little obvious to people like Elder Long, so the elders who were fighting against him in the back slowly found out and stopped fighting him.

And Wu Lun has not been idle in the past few months, he and the elders he knows well have been transferred to the shift, on duty for a month, and off for a month. When he was resting, he would drive around in a mule cart, first helping Liu Jizu sell pills, and then looking for a suitable place to stay, but he also found a few places, but none of them were very ideal. Later, the weather gradually became colder, and it was around the Spring Festival, Wu Lun did not go out, but was on duty at home while buying various materials.

Some time ago, when he was walking around, he could clearly feel the difference in the situation. People are in constant fear that war will come one day, and if possible, they are trying to find a way to sell their property and move their families to the city. Housing prices in the city are also rising day by day, and prices are also rising. If this continues, there is no need to really fight, and many poor people will not be able to afford to eat, and then it will really be chaotic.

Liu Jizu is very worried about his family, he has written four letters during this time, and his family has replied to two, and he still asked Liu Jizu's classmates to help write them. In a recent letter, he said that the family was fine, that they were in a remote location, that they were not on the battlefield, and that they had not been affected. And they listened to Liu Jizu's words, and also made preparations, and used the money he gave to buy a lot of food to prepare, so that he could go to school with peace of mind. Liu Jizu was somewhat relieved.

Laifu has grown into a big dog, very spiritual. The training content has been completed a long time ago, and now his body is already a lap bigger than Xiao Hei, and he is still growing, and he has a huge amount of food. One of the pleasures of Seventh Sister and Ye Zi is to watch Liu Jizu and Laifu eat, according to them, it can be appetizing.

Xiao Hei has died, Wu Lun buried it, sad for a long time. Later, he went to the Tongling Pavilion to buy one, named Black Tiger, and now he is only a few months old, and he follows Laifu as a follower every day, and he is very envious of the leather armor on Laifu's body.

On this day, Wu Lun came back very early, and as soon as he came back, he called everyone over and said, "There is a fight! Today, an elder came back from outside and said that the armies of the King of Jin and the King of Qin were fighting with the army of the imperial court, and the armies of the King of Wu and the King of Chu were also watching. I don't know why they marched in this season, now it's just spring, and the military rations have not been found. Maybe it's going to be messy, so we have to make plans early!"

When Liu Jizu heard this, he was also surprised, so he had dinner and came to find Elder Long with Wu Lun.

Ye Zi opened the door, saw Liu Jizu's face flushed, and hurriedly saluted and led the two into the house.

In the past six months, Ye Zi and Seventh Sister's martial arts have also improved greatly, and Elder Long has taught them sword techniques, and both of them have learned them. This set of knife techniques is very suitable for women with little strength, focusing on skill and surprise, fighting strong with weak, and winning without strength. In addition, considering the characteristics of girls, it is impossible to carry a knife on her back at any time, seeing that Liu Jizu's dagger skills are good, Elder Long created a simple set of dagger skills for self-defense. Liu Jizu gave the dagger given by Elder Long to Ye Zi, and then went to the weapon shop to buy a good one and gave it to the seventh sister. The two practiced together when they had time, and they made rapid progress. They also often practiced the concealed barrel and folding crossbow together, and now they were able to use them proficiently, hitting targets ten paces away. After more than half a year of exercise, the two of them have changed greatly, and they are both a lot stronger, but less are weak and more are bodybuilding. The leaves have grown a little taller, almost one meter six or five, because of the practice of martial arts, the two of them have eaten a lot, and they have plumped up a lot.

When Liu Jizu saw the gradually growing leaves, he always thought of the scene that day in his heart, and often teased her, but for some reason, the leaves always deliberately avoided him.

Ye Zi led the two of them into the hall and ran back to his house.

Wu Lun said with a smile: "This little girl is getting more and more peugeot, your kid is very blessed, I will do the marriage for you one day!"

Liu Jizu smiled bitterly a few times and did not speak.

Elder Long came out at this time, and when he saw that it was the two of them, he hurriedly asked, "You two came to me together, is there anything wrong?"

Wu Lun told him about the news he got today.

Elder Long pondered for a while and then said, "My son said in his letter to me before that the situation has become more and more tense, but I didn't expect that there would be a fight after all. For more than half a year, I have been deliberately asking my son and apprentices to collect news about the Four Kings and the capital. I heard them say that the four kings have been tossing a lot in the past six months, they have made official wishes, won over the surrounding feudal officials, recruited troops in their own territory, and expanded their power. Many Jianghu sects and local heroes have taken refuge in them, but these four people are not of the same mind, and their personalities are also different.

King Wu was the youngest and most cowardly among the four kings, and the current queen was his daughter-in-law at the earliest. But he can't, but his subordinates are strong, and he was bewitched into rebellion by a group of henchmen with evil intentions. His group of subordinates are pretending to be tigers, and they have done all the bad things behind his back.

The king of Chu was the most greedy and the richest, and some people even said that he was richer than the entire Great Zhou. He was the first to be crowned king out of the capital, and he was also the oldest. In the past ten years, the entire land of Chu has been scraped by him, and the people there are also the most bitter. Now in the entire Chu land, except for himself, all the rich people are his cronies and minions, and they all promote him if they say that he is a despicable villain.

King Qin did the best thing on the surface, at least he could pretend to be a corporal of Lixian, and many talents defected to him, so he was also the most talented among the four kings. The area under his jurisdiction was relatively well governed, and because of its proximity to the northwestern border, the people there were fierce and strong. But this person is also flawed, this person is indecisive, jealous, and does not listen to different opinions, so it is difficult for him to succeed.

The king of Jin is very smart, but he is tyrannical and cruel, likes to mutilate the people, and even tortures and kills palace maids, he is simply not human. But Jinyang is a strong city in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the troops there are also abundant. This person is extremely insidious, good at intrigue and trickery, but is the most difficult to deal with among the others. But if such a person wins the world, then he still has it!

Alas, Da Zhou is really over, the prince was still good, and he did it for many years with his tail between his legs, but he was still framed. I heard that only one son was rescued, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the Great Zhou really did not live by himself! But the three sects have stood for thousands of years, and they all have a fixed routine when dealing with such incidents.

Taking the academy as an example, the first thing is to shrink the personnel, and the disciples scattered all over the country are called back and arranged to guard them near the sect. Hmph! Now it seems that we are using our disciples with foreign surnames to prevent disasters for their six surnamed disciples. You know the combat effectiveness of our disciples with foreign surnames. It's not that I'm boasting here, as long as our disciples with foreign surnames come back and guard the various passes, it won't be easy for anyone to come in. Therefore, for thousands of years, although the turbulent times have continued, most of the sects have been in danger, and they have never encountered the situation where the sect has been captured.

The second step is to take the initiative, after judging the situation, they will take the initiative to participate, support one party's forces, contribute money, strength, and people, and in this way fight with the other two sects. Until the result of the struggle is reached, a new order is formed, and then the new regime is relied on to divide the sphere of influence.

The third step is to wait for the political situation to stabilize and dismiss the disciples with foreign surnames. It's not a good thing that so many disciples with foreign surnames gather near the sect, what if they have any thoughts about the sect. Therefore, after the chaos, it is not about rewarding meritorious deeds, but about dismissing as soon as possible, so that these disciples with foreign surnames can be scattered all over the country as soon as possible, so as to achieve the goal of divide and rule. If there is one who does not leave, it may be the matter of the Shuzi Battalion! The so-called Shuzi Camp has saved the sect several times, maybe this is the case. ”
