Chapter 43: Lianzhu

As soon as Chen Mingye said a word, several sons and brothers looked at him a little strangely.

This condition is simple, but in fact it is the most difficult. They are never easy to convince people, and the meanings of the words Brother Chen and Brother Ye come out of their mouths, but they have completely different meanings. Yan Wendao, as the faint eldest brother in the martial arts circle in Kyoto, called Chen Mingye a night brother, and the meaning was even more extraordinary.

"Why don't you want to?" Chen Mingye smiled slightly, looked at the silent Yan Wendao and said.

Yan Wendao's eyes froze, and the doubts in his heart suddenly dissipated, and his strong self-confidence did not allow him to have the slightest idea of retreating: "Since Brother Chen has the confidence to say this condition, how can Yan not be?"

Chen Mingye said with a smile: "That's fine, then Chen has nothing else to say, and he can start here." ”

Yan Wendao looked at him seriously, originally he still had some thoughts about keeping his hands, after all, it was just an initial game, so he didn't have to take it too seriously, but as soon as Chen Mingye's words came out, he would definitely not be able to hide it anymore.

Chen Mingye glanced at him, and his eyes were still a casual and casual color. Xiao Hong, who was in her arms, quietly sat up straight, and said to Chen Mingye with a smile: "Little junior brother, are you planning to use spiritual power secretly?"

Chen Mingye shook his head: "Gentleman comparison, I won't cheat." ”

"Pull it down. Xiao Hong pursed her lips, "Even if you don't use spiritual power, how can your spiritual breath observation and perception be comparable to ordinary martial arts, and this is not a laipi?"

Chen Mingye laughed: "Then I have no choice." ”

The group marched forward, and Meng Che casually introduced a few words to Chen Mingye about the situation of this Langsleeve Mountain.

The beautiful scenery of Lang Sleeve Mountain is a perennial hunting ground near Kyoto, and civilians are strictly forbidden to poach or cut firewood, so the dense forest is full of life. All kinds of animals grow freely in it, and only in autumn and winter, when they are fat and strong, their own nobles come to hunt and play in season.

Meng Che still seemed to be a little worried about Chen Mingye at the moment, but fortunately, the bet between Yan Wendao and him was also a trivial title, and Meng Che was naturally much more relieved.

Of course, the idea of innocence was in Meng Che's thoughts, but as for the two people who competed, they were smiling at the moment, and a different light flashed in their eyes.

Not long after the group rode their horses, they saw several frightened pheasants fluttering out of the bushes.

For a while, Zuo Qiu, who was happy to see the hunt, was the first to rush out, and several guards hurriedly followed, lest their young master have an accident.

The Tian twins laughed, and the remaining teenagers shrugged their shoulders, but they looked indifferent.

Yan Wendao's gaze still did not waver, with his ability, he naturally would not care about a small prey like a pheasant.

"Drive!" waved the reins again, and Yan Wendao continued to move forward.

Chen Mingye was naturally not to be left behind, and the horse also followed.

And in the distance behind them, several figures also quietly disappeared in the dense forest.

"Brother Chen, why don't we go in one direction and go back to the mountain pass at sunset?" Yan Wendao glanced at Chen Mingye, who had been silently following behind him, and suddenly stopped and said to him.

"Yes. Chen Mingye nodded, he didn't care.

But for Yan Wendao, if it goes on like this, it is just a matter of pure luck who encounters the prey first, and it is really inconvenient to completely use his own means.

"Okay, if you say it, then Yan will take the first step. Seeing that Chen Mingye agreed, Yan Wendao laughed, didn't stop any longer, and rushed out with a whip again.

Chen Mingye looked at his back, but there was a hint of discoloration in his eyes, and he asked softly to the little girl in his arms, "Xiaohong, do you feel it?"

Xiaohong pouted and nodded slightly.

Meng Che on the side was puzzled: "Brother Chen, what are you talking about, Yan Wendao has gone out, why are you not in a hurry at all?"

"What's the hurry, it doesn't depend on luck," Chen Mingye laughed, his eyes quietly swept around his body, and there was nothing unusual to find.

Yan Wendao rushed out, and the few sons and brothers who had been following naturally rushed out with him, and the open space here was soon left only Chen Mingye and Meng Che and a few guards with him.

Chen Mingye's spiritual power radiated out, and the corners of his mouth quietly rose. In his perception, the few figures hidden in the shadows did not leave, indicating that their targets turned out to be himself and Meng Che.

He shrugged his shoulders, lifted the longbow in his hand, pulled it slightly, and said to Meng Che on the side: "I don't know how Brother Meng's archery skills are?"

"Me?" Meng Che smiled bitterly and waved his hand repeatedly, "I can't do this." ”

"I haven't tried it, how can I say that I can't do it?" Chen Mingye said with a smile, "I've already talked about the technique of five shots just now, why don't I demonstrate it for Brother Meng here?"

Meng Che was stunned: "This ...... Brother Chen, you only have ten arrows, let's save some of them, if you want to demonstrate, we can take our time later. ”

Chen Mingye waved his hand, gave him a look, and continued: "It's okay, these arrows are more than enough, Brother Meng can relax." ”

“...... All right. Meng Che gave him a deep look and nodded.

Chen Mingye stretched out his hand and pulled out an arrow from the quiver hanging next to the saddle, put it on top of Changgong, and aimed it at a tree trunk in front of him: "White arrow, the arrow pierces the bull's-eye and the arrow is white, this is the power of three points into the wood." ”

Saying that, Chen Mingye's hand had already been released, and the arrow flew out with a "whoosh".

Meng Che watched as the arrow was shot at the tree, and it was clearly going to the bushes, which was more than 108,000 miles worse than the direction that Chen Mingye was aiming at.

Meng Che was speechless for a while, and was about to speak, but he heard a crisp sound of "ding" coming from the bushes.

Chen Mingye's movements in his hands did not stop, and he continued in his mouth: "Participate in the connection, put an arrow in the front, and the last three arrows go in succession, the arrows and arrows belong to each other, if the beads are connected, this is a coherent skill." ”

Words and words, or should be said to be words and arrows, and there are four arrows in a row, and in the blink of an eye, in Chen Mingye's quiver, only half of the arrows are left.

There was a cry of pain in the bushes, and at the same time, knowing that the three black shadows that had been exposed could no longer bear it, they rushed out of it and pounced swiftly towards this side.

Meng Che was taken aback, and then he understood the intention of Chen Mingye's glance just now. The guards behind also reacted at the same time, and they all had to step forward for a while.

Chen Mingye smiled slightly, the movements in his hands did not change in the slightest, but continued: "Before the battle, do not panic, the skill of the note is called the disease of the arrow, the aiming time is short, and the arrow is released." ”

With that, another arrow was fired.

If the first few arrows were still shot blindly through perception, then this arrow was aimed at the black shadow headed by him.

The arrow was released and hit, and in just seven words, Meng Che was stunned when he heard it. The swiftness of this arrow, even in the eyes of the person next to him, couldn't help but stand on end, and he was terrified.

This arrow, Chen Mingye has actually infused spiritual power into the arrow in order to kill it, so whether it is strength and speed, compared to the previous arrows, it is indeed far superior.

The black shadow was frightened, and in a panic, he wanted to raise the long knife in his hand to block it, but the speed of this arrow was far above his reaction.

Kill an arrow through the eyebrows.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow was knocked over by an arrow, and fell to the ground on its back, not knowing whether it was alive or dead.

The remaining two black shadows were shocked, looked at each other, and knew that this trip had failed, so they turned their heads and fled into the depths of the dense forest.

Chen Mingye squinted at the two people who were far away, and unhurriedly pulled out two arrows from the quiver, took a bow and volleyed, all in one go.

Before Meng Che could react, he saw two figures not far away, both of them were hit by an arrow in their backs, their bodies were stagnant, and then they fell to the ground.

"Awesome. Xiaohong in Chen Mingye's arms was not afraid, and even clapped her little hands with a smile.

The few guards behind Meng Che who were about to make a move were also stunned, looking at Chen Mingye's back, they were terrified for a while.

Chen Mingye shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn't have much feeling about such a record, but turned his horse and walked slowly towards those dark shadows.

Meng Che hurriedly followed, looked at Chen Mingye and bowed his hand slightly, and said sincerely: "Brother Chen's archery skills, Meng Mou is really eye-opening today." ”

Chen Mingye waved his hand, and his face was light and light: "Brother Meng has lifted it, but it's just a small skill of carving insects." ”

Meng Che shook his head and said with a straight face: "Shooting is the art of the six arts, and it is also the way to resist the enemy, how can it be said to be a small skill?"

Chen Mingye glanced at him, a little speechless, so he had to cough dryly: "Let's not talk about this first, let's take a look at the identities of these people in black, I don't know how they appeared here." ”

Meng Che reacted at this time, and nodded again and again: "I don't know who their specific target will be, we have to inform Brother Yan quickly that they are." ”

Chen Mingye smiled faintly: "I think the target should be us, and they should be fine." ”

Meng Che was stunned when he heard this: "What Brother Chen meant, it is their ......"

"Ahem, don't think too much," Chen Mingye was a little helpless, "It shouldn't have anything to do with them, after all, we just happened to meet them today, and I think it's a follow-up to the inn's assassination that day......"

"That's related to me!" Meng Che was startled.

"Don't be in a hurry to guess," Chen Mingye shook his head and pointed to the black shadow that fell to the ground in front of him, "Look at their identities, maybe there will be some clues." ”

Meng Che nodded.

Several guards took the initiative to step forward and dragged the men in black over one by one, and it was only then that they discovered that the men in black turned out to be not three but four, and one of them was killed in the bushes where Chen Mingye was hiding by a few arrows at the beginning.

The guards looked at Chen Mingye's eyes in awe for a moment.

Chen Mingye didn't pay much attention to it, turned over and dismounted with Xiaohong in his arms, and used his spiritual power to regain his senses, and confirmed that there was no abnormality, so he stepped forward.

"Brother Chen, be careful. Meng Che was still a little uneasy, and gave another extra instruct.

Chen Mingye nodded, stepped forward to talk about the masks of several black-clothed people and lifted them one by one. The four of them were all middle-aged men, and he naturally didn't know them, so he turned his gaze to Meng Che on the side: "Brother Meng, do you deny these people?"

Meng Che turned over and dismounted and looked at it carefully, then shook his head: "No impression." ”

Chen Mingye frowned: "That's it, leave it to the clues, what did those assassins in the inn find before." ”

Meng Che sighed again, still shaking his head: "Although our Meng family has been noble on the surface over the years, we have secretly offended a lot of people, and these assassins are difficult to investigate." ”

Chen Mingye frowned, the martial arts cultivation of these assassins is not high, the overall cultivation should only be about the fifth grade of martial arts, compared to the assassins who assassinate in the inn, it is obviously lower, from this point of view, it is very likely that it will not be a group of people.

He didn't say these words, but secretly hid them in his heart at first.

"Brother Chen, if there is this accident, should we find Brother Yan and them first, after all, in this case, the competition will not be possible. Meng Che said with some concern.

"I can't do it. Chen Mingye said with a smile.

"You're running out of arrows. Meng Che pointed to his quiver, frowned and said, "How can you compete like this?"

"Isn't there still two arrows?" Chen Mingye put his hands on his back and smiled slightly, "It's more than enough." ”

Meng Che was speechless for a while, but he didn't know how to refute it, Chen Mingye's archery skills had already been seen by him after all.

"Wouldn't it be unstable, after all, it's too much of a loss. Meng Che sighed.

"Entertainment competitions, don't take it too seriously. Chen Mingye smiled, "After all, the purpose of you bringing me here is also so that I can better fit in, isn't it?"

"Brother Chen......" Meng Che was stunned, but he didn't expect his thoughts to be pointed out directly by Chen Mingye.

"I know that you mean well," Chen Mingye motioned to him without an explanation, "This opportunity is just right." ”

Meng Che was relieved at this time, and he thought that Chen Mingye was indeed in the mood of entertainment next, so of course he didn't say anything more.

The corners of Chen Mingye's mouth curled up slightly, for him, two arrows were better than Yan Wendao, and it was indeed completely enough.

Xiao Hong raised her head in his arms at this time, looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "Little junior brother, who did you learn your archery skills from?" ”

Chen Mingye didn't answer, hugged her and got on the horse again, raised his head, and showed a trace of complicated memories in his eyes.

"Little junior brother?" Xiaohong felt a little strange, and called him again.

"That person, now, should still be in Northstate. Chen Mingye said lightly.

"Beizhou?" Xiao Hong tilted her head, "Is that where the little junior brother used to live?"

"There, that's my hometown. Chen Mingye reached out and gently touched the little girl's head, and smiled lightly.

"Hometown ......" Xiaohong muttered softly, with a slight confusion in her eyes, "In the future, will the little junior brother take Xiaohong to Beizhou?"

"......" Chen Mingye was slightly silent, and after a while, he spoke with some difficulty, "Yes, it will." ”

"Good!" Red replied, grinning comfortably, changing positions, and nestling comfortably in his arms.

Chen Mingye raised his head and looked at the sky, it was blue, the clouds were shallow, and there seemed to be birds flying northward in the distance.

He smiled.

There will be a day.
