Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there is trouble.

Some people are born to solve problems.

The first assassin of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Arrow Gongzi, is one of them.

The Arrow Boy is one of the most mysterious three people in the rivers and lakes, and the other two are the old man of Tianji and the heir of the hidden sword.

On the rivers and lakes, when it comes to archery masters, in addition to the Nanshan arrow of Zhongnan Mountain, it is this arrow boy.

No one has ever seen the arrow boy, and no one even knows whether he is a man or a woman, fat or thin, who his surname is, how old he is, and he has never appeared in public.

Although Gongzi Jian is a native of Da Zhou, three years ago, he left Da Zhou and began to do business in Da Ming and Da Chu. Of course, it is rumored that the reason why he left the Great Zhou was to flee: because he offended the regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Tuoba Climb.

Three years ago, the emperor of the Great Zhou State, Tuoba Run, suddenly contracted a disease and died violently, and the eight-year-old little prince ascended the throne to inherit the throne, and the power fell into the hands of Tuoba Crawl. However, it is said that Tuoba was not infected with a disease, but was pierced through the head by an arrow from outside the world in the palace, and the owner of this arrow was the arrow boy.

The regent found the arrow boy and wanted to buy the emperor's head, and the arrow boy offered a price of 100,000 taels of gold, which was already very fair for the emperor. As a result, the arrow boy lurked for seven days and seven nights on the three-hundred-zhang Yanhui Tower, and finally seized an opportunity to release an arrow from beyond the sky to the palace.

However, when the arrow boy asked the regent for money, he was rejected by the regent, and sent two masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty to chase and kill the arrow boy, and the arrow boy was forced to leave the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and said that the interest rate of 100,000 taels of gold will be calculated at a monthly interest rate of seven percent, and if it is not cashed within five years, he will personally come to collect the debt.

Xiao Jinyan didn't expect to meet this legendary arrow boy in Yangzhou tonight. He didn't expect that Arrowboy's arrows would be aimed at him.

Xiao Jinyan didn't dare to move, because the other party had locked his qi. The arrow boy practiced the archery technique of the South China Sea Arrow God to the Central Plains, and cultivated to the Datong Ming Realm, and the arrows shot can ignore space and time, and even distort space, thousands of miles away, killing people invisibly.

Xiao Jinyan knew that he couldn't dodge, so he simply pulled Yu Wenshuang to sit on the ground and chatted.

"Do you know who is the most powerful archery in the world?"

Yu Wenshuang didn't know what he meant, but he still asked very cooperatively, "Who?"

Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "It should be the Nanshan Arrow of Zhongnan Mountain, I once drank with him, and during the banquet, he claimed to be the first in the world in archery, I was a little dissatisfied, saying that the arrow boy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has unparalleled archery skills, and you two have not tried it, how dare you call yourself the first?"

At this time, a flock of sparrows flew by, about a hundred, he picked up a bow, pointed to the sky, and said, among these sparrows, there is a sparrow lame, believe it or not, I say not believe it, he opened his bow is an arrow, shot down a sparrow, and sure enough, one of the sparrow's legs was broken. I knelt down at that time, and said that if I had the opportunity to meet the arrow boy, I would tell him about it. ”

A voice came from the night sky, "Above your left ear, there's a mosquito." "The voice is flickering and flickering, some of it is shrill and erratic, and it sounds a little strange.

Xiao Jinyan reached out and touched his left ear.

Sou!

A cold light passed past Xiao Jinyan's ear, and with a ding, it was inserted into the branch next to him.

The two looked over, but it was a small red arrow the size of a palm, with the tip of a needle like a needle, and a mosquito nailed to it.

Xiao Jinyan was horrified in his heart, he sensed it with string force, and he didn't sense anyone outside a radius of thirty zhang, that is to say, the owner of this arrow was thirty zhang away, and in terms of this eyesight alone, I am afraid that few people in the world could do it.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Your Excellency is the son of the Northern Zhou Arrow?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. The voice added, "Are you afraid of death?"

Xiao Jinyan tried to find out where the man was hiding, and tried several times, but it was all in vain, so he said: "Afraid! uh, it's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm very afraid." ”

Arrow boy smiled, "It's honest." ”

"Honesty is a virtue. It's interesting, but someone offered a hundred taels of gold to buy Yuwenshuang's life, so you are dead. Although they were chatting, the man's aura still locked on the two of them.

Xiao Jinyan was puzzled and asked, "What does it have to do with me if the person who spent the money asked you to kill her?"

Arrow Gongzi said: "In the past two years, the economic situation has been down, there is a trade war, and interest rate hikes, business is not good, buy one get one free, you are the one." ”

Xiao Jinyan was a little frustrated and said: "This is too hurtful." ”

Yu Wenshuang sneered, "Who thinks so highly of me and pays a hundred taels of gold?"

"Confidentiality for our clients is our work ethic. ”

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "Killing innocents indiscriminately, this is immoral!"

The arrow boy said disdainfully: "What kind of benevolence and morality do you need to talk about in the business of being a killer?"

At this time, a melodious sound of flute floated from afar, only to hear the arrow boy scolding, "Who the hell is sneaking up on the old man...... Ouch!"

With a pop, a figure fell from a poplar tree a hundred feet away, and as soon as Fang hit the ground, the man immediately jumped up and jumped into a small lake not far away, and the water fled.

The sound of the flute is tactful, like a bright moon, hanging on the big river, blowing exactly the "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", Xiao Jinyan doesn't understand the rhythm, but he is also stupid. Yu Wenshuang showed a hint of surprise on her face, and when the song was finished, she exclaimed, "Third aunt?"

Under the bright moon, a lady in a cyan robe floated in. Xiao Jinyan saw that this person was about thirty years old, with a beautiful appearance, although the robe was loose, it still couldn't cover her delicate figure, and her eyes were like a bright moon, like a fairy who didn't eat fireworks in the world.

The middle-aged lady came to Yuwenshuang and smiled slightly, "Shuang'er!"

Yuwenshuang, who has always been arrogant and cold, saw this person, as if she had seen a relative, stepped forward to take her hand, and said, "Third aunt, if you come later, you won't see Shuang'er." ”

Xiao Jinyan listened to Yuwen Shuang's tone, and knew that this person was Yuwen Tianlu's third lady, Li Xiyao. At that time in Dengwen Academy, he had heard of Li Xiyao's name, the first beauty and talented woman in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago, and later married Yuwen Tianlu as a concubine, which caused a lot of sensation in the rivers and lakes. He took a step forward, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed to salute, "Senior Xiao Jinyan, meet the third lady!"

Li Xiyao looked Xiao Jinyan up and down, and smiled faintly, "You and Li Chuntie are from the same family, I am just a few years older than you, so I don't have to be so polite." ”

Yu Wenshuang said, "Third aunt, why did you come to Yangzhou?"

Li Xiyao said with a smile: "Your father asked me to come to Yangzhou to do some things, I wanted to contact you earlier, but I was delayed when I encountered something, I went to Yangzhou rice shop in the afternoon, and found that the Yangzhou rudder was destroyed, so I have been hiding in the dark, tonight's events, I have seen it, after you escaped, I have been following you in secret, who would have thought to meet the person who likes to pretend to be a ghost in the Northern Zhou Dynasty." I couldn't get used to it, so I rewarded him with a few silver needles of ice spirit. ”

Yu Wenshuang said: "It's just that over the years, my aunt has been dedicated to cultivating the Tao, and she has never asked me about my father, what can make you run in person?"

Li Xiyao pointed at Xiao Jinyan, "Actually, I'm here for you." ”

Xiao Jinyan was puzzled: "For me?"

Yu Wenshuang was surprised: "For him?"

Li Xiyao nodded and said, "Have you ever heard that there is a saying in the rivers and lakes that the golden sword is immortal, and the hidden sword does not come out?"

Yu Wenshuang said: "Isn't that a sentence from the "Martial Scripture"?"

"Not long ago, Wang Banxian once confided a sentence after drinking, saying that the hidden sword will come out, and your father has made a deduction with the Fengyue Treasure Book, and once concluded that this Xiao Gongzi is the hidden sword that is about to be born, so he sent me to investigate this matter, but this Xiao Daxia, whether in terms of martial arts or potential, is really unsightly, most likely your father miscalculated. ”

While saying these words, Li Xiyao had been observing Xiao Jinyan's reaction.

Xiao Jinyan also showed a look of surprise, and then smiled: "Madam is also too exalted to Xiao someone." ”

Li Xiyao saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and said: "There is something in your arms, which is what I want, but for the sake of you saving Shuang'er tonight, I will let you go." turned around and told Li Chuntie that there are some things that are not necessarily believing, so let him think twice. ”

Xiao Jinyan scratched his head, "What do you mean?"

"Just say that, and he'll understand. Li Xiyao said to Yuwenshuang, "Shuang'er, let's go." ”

Yu Wenshuang hesitated a little, stood still, Li Xiyao was a person who came over, and how could she not know her thoughts, and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you in front." Leaving Xiao Jinyan and Yu Wenshuang behind, they walked not far away.

The two of them had their own concerns and were silent.

The air, suddenly, was quiet.

Yuwenshuang's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, her eyelashes blinked, and she looked at Xiao Jinyan with a lot of thoughts in her heart. The man in front of her, his martial arts skills are not high, his appearance is not very outstanding, he looks like he is a child, and he doesn't care, however, at a critical moment, he is duty-bound, and this kind of responsibility makes her a little obsessed. However, she is a proud person, even if she has a good feeling in her heart, she is not willing to admit it. What's more, he has a close relationship with Li Chuntie of Dengwen Academy, and he will become an enemy sooner or later in the future.

Yu Wenshuang said softly: "Xiao Jinyan." ”

Xiao Jinyan was also thinking nonsense, she was stunned when she heard the words, raised her head to meet her gaze, and couldn't help but move in her heart, "Huh?"

"Are we friends?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "It should be, approximately, forget it." ”

Yu Wenshuang sighed, "It's a pity, you are a person from Dengwen Academy, and you are inseparable from me, today goodbye, if we meet again, I am afraid that when the swords face each other, I beg you two things, you have to promise me." ”

"What's the matter?"

"You say yes first. ”

Xiao Jinyan saw that she was sincere, and couldn't bear to refuse, and said, "I promised you." ”

Yu Wenshuang said solemnly: "First, you can't do martial arts, if you and I are enemies in the future, I won't kill you, and you are not allowed to kill me." ”

"Uh-uh......" Xiao Jinyan groaned slightly and nodded. "What about the second thing?"

Yu Wenshuang took a step forward, came to Xiao Jinyan, and whispered, "Kiss me!"

After that, he closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes flashed like stars in the sky.
