"There are assassins!"

The cold light pierced the sky, and the other guards finally reacted, but it was a little late, and the sharp arrows in the shadows had almost hit Li Yuan's face.

"Qiang ......!", sparks splashed, and the sharp arrow was hammered down by the little leopard three inches away from Li Yuan's door, the little leopard only felt a shock in his hand, and the left hand that smashed the sharp arrow was shocked by a strong backlash, the arrow was smashed down, but the hand was bounced back, and at this moment, there were two bow sounds, and the sound did not arrive, and the arrow had arrived.

The speed of the two arrows behind it has exceeded the speed of the sound, one arrow chasing the other, the little leopard's hand has been swinging away at this time, and it is impossible to hammer the arrow again.

However, his first hammer had already bought Li Yuan time to react, and almost at the moment when the little leopard's first hammer smashed the sharp arrow, Li Yuan snorted coldly, and his body flipped from the horse, and instead of jumping, he flipped under the horse.

Everything happened between the lightning and flint, from the little leopard's hammer to smash the first long arrow, to Li Yuan turning over and dismounting, and then his horse was fixed on the ground by the flying arrows, it was only a matter of moments.

After three arrows, everything was calm.

The surrounding space was silent for a moment, and then it was drowned out by a loud noise.

The guard battalion has been automatically divided into three teams, one team searched in the direction where the long arrow flew, one team was on guard in the surrounding streets, and the last team, which was the team where the little leopard was, was guarding Li Yuan's body.

"Little leopard, good job!" After lying down for three arrows, Li Yuan's face was a little pale, and he looked palpitating, but he still had a smile on his face, patted the little leopard's shoulder, and said affectionately, "If it weren't for you, I would have been here today!"

"This is the duty of subordinates!" the little leopard said respectfully, without the slightest arrogance in his attitude, nor did he show a smug expression because of his great achievements.

"Good, very good, very good!" Li Yuan said with satisfaction, and at the same time turned his head and said to Qi Fei, "Let them come back, the person who shot has already left, this guy only has the power of three arrows, and the three arrows are useless, so he can only escape!"

Qi Fei left in response.

"Does the general know who it is?" asked the little leopard curiously.

"An old friend!" Li Yuanqiang smiled and waved his hand to the surrounding guards, "Let's all disperse, it's all fine, let them chase it, let's go to the school now!"

"Still going?!"

"Why don't you go, it's already been decided, you can't just run back to the Admiral's Mansion because that guy shot three arrows, it's too shameless!" After a few words, Li Yuan had returned to normal, his horse had been shot dead, but there were still a lot of horses around, so he pulled a horse casually and turned over, "Okay, little ones, cheer up, run Lao Tzu to the school field!"

"Yes-!" The group once again rushed towards the east of the city, but the speed was much faster than just now.

The little leopard gradually understood that the reason why Li Yuan wanted to go to the school to continue the martial arts exercise was not because he liked this martial arts exercise, but because of the face problem, because he was absent-minded in the process of performing martial arts。

After this incident, the status of the little leopard in the guard camp seems to have been mentioned a lot, not for anything else, it is because of the arrow he hammered down, saving Li Yuan's life, which is equivalent to saving the lives of everyone in their guard camp, as a guard, whether it is identity or status, or treatment is much higher than ordinary soldiers, but relatively speaking, the responsibility is also very heavy, if Li Yuan died in this assassination, then, all the guards present will naturally be difficult to escape their responsibility, even if they do not apologize for their crimes, it is impossible to stay in the army, and the future is bleak and irrelevant。

This may be more uncomfortable than death for these promising guards, and Xiaobao's hammer not only saved Li Yuan's life, but also pulled their future back, how can you let them not be grateful?

Of course, the little leopard will not refuse all kinds of overtures to them, as a once glorious public servant, he knows very well what it means to have a good relationship with the people around him, and of course, there is no obstacle in dealing with these veterans.

Therefore, this little leopard is living more and more nourishing in the guard camp.

As for the origin of the assassin who suddenly appeared and disappeared, causing great trouble to the guards, the little leopard also slowly inquired about it.

Wuyang Mountain, Qingfeng Village Sanzhai main Yunluo.

Yunluo and Li Yuan have a big enmity, thirty years ago, he was almost killed by Li Yuan, desperately escaped with a surname, and Li Yuan did not take him to heart, but he didn't expect that ten years ago, Yunluo suddenly appeared, the first assassination of Li Yuan, although it was not successful, but it was also shocked that Li Yuan was in a cold sweat, Guy Luoyun actually had a sub-divine weapon, called the Cold Moon Bow, which was very powerful, but at that time Yunluo only had the power of an arrow, and just got the treasure bow not long ago, he was eager for revenge, and he did not practice skillfully, so he did not kill Li Yuan with an arrow, and in the next ten years, Luo Yun continued to look for opportunities to assassinate Li Yuan, from the previous power of an arrow, has been able to send three arrows now, but since Li Yuan was assassinated for the first time, he has strengthened his defenses, and the official has become bigger and bigger, from an inconspicuous general to the commander of the current moderation side, and it is becoming more and more difficult to assassinate him.

"In this way, this Luo Yun must be the general's great enemy, why don't you arrest him?!" the little leopard said with some puzzlement.

Under this Great Jin Dynasty, assassinating the ministers of the imperial court is a serious crime, even if Li Yuan himself can let him go, the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty cannot let him go, it's been ten years, how can he still let him live so comfortably and easily, and assassinate him as much as he wants?

"It's so easy to talk about!" At this time, Qi Fei sat opposite the little leopard, holding a glass of wine in his hand, his face full of bitterness.

"This Luo Yun is the master of the three villages of Qingfeng Village in Wuyang Mountain, and Qingfeng Village is one of the three major Kou of my Great Jin Dynasty, and the imperial court has sent troops to recruit and suppress it several times, but they have returned in vain, let alone us!"

Three anti-thieves?

When the little leopard heard this, he couldn't help laughing, the three major Kou of the Great Jin Dynasty are similar to the existence of Liang Shanbo, and they are alone, and the government is extremely troublesome about their existence, but they are powerless to exterminate them, so they can only do their best to suppress them, Wuyang Mountain Qingfeng Village is one of them, think about it, then Li Yuan is also very confused and depressed about this, right?

"Okay, Qi Yingguan, don't talk about it, this is a grudge between the general and Na Luoyun, we just need to protect the general's safety!" "Reasonable, although Na Luoyun is powerful, but in the past ten years, his assassination has never been successful once, but he was almost caught twice, this time, it was the most thrilling one, but, fortunately, with you present, it didn't cause a big disaster, and now the brothers of the whole camp have all inherited your love!"

"Everyone is a brother in the first battalion, what are you talking about!" the little leopard smiled, "Come, Brother Qi, drink!"

"Okay, drink!"

............................................................ The day passed gradually, and in the blink of an eye, it was another month, except for the time when Li Yuan was assassinated on the street, and their guards never encountered anything like that, and the child gradually became idle, but the little leopard gradually became busy, except for a few hours of fixed practice every day, but he couldn't be idle in any way.

Because the people of the Wujia ironware shop are already in place.

Wu Yuntian died, and he died with infamy, but this does not mean that the Wu family's power in this Zhonghe county town is gone, although Wu Yuntian is arrogant and domineering, but in the final analysis, he is just a local director of the Wu family, just because he has the blood of the Wu family in his body, so he will be more arrogant than the directors in other places, and now that he is dead, theoretically speaking, the Wu family only needs to change a supervisor.

It's just that the candidate for this director has made the entire Wu family very troubled.

Because, now Zhonghe County is too important to the Wu family, and there is an underground fire vein here.

It is precisely because of this underground fire vein that Zhonghe County, which was originally on the edge of the Wu family's power, has now become a fragrant bait, but it is also a hot potato, take it over, do it well, it will greatly increase its status in the Wu family, and the benefits are endless, and if it is damaged, it is the sinner of the Wu family, and the status has plummeted, so, in the face of such an opportunity, everyone is very cautious, and the Wu family has also gone through a bloodless struggle, and finally selected the person in charge and the master, of course, they have not forgotten the little leopard, and now the little leopard is the key surname of the Wu family to obtain benefits from the underground fire vein, so he was also given a position as the director of foreign affairs, it turned out to be that he was asked to deal specifically with the relationship between Zhonghe Junwu Mansion and the Admiral's Mansion.

This time, the director of Zhonghe County sent was an elder, and this elder was the old man who came with Xu Yong, named Xu Andong, who had a good relationship with Xu Yong, and most importantly, he was a free elder, and he had no foundation in the Wu family, purely because his strength was promoted to the elder after cultivating to the fourth grade, and between becoming elders, he was just an ordinary inner disciple, not a core disciple, so he did not inherit the status of a certain line within the Wu family like Xu Yong.

Therefore, his status among the elders of the Wu family is not high, but he is very detached, and he is also in the interests of all the veins of the Wu family when he comes here as a supervisor, and this Elder Xu invited the little leopard over on the first day he arrived in Zhonghe County to discuss the matter of the underground fire vein.

The little leopard has been annoyed by him a lot these days.

However, this underground fire vein is very important, not to mention the Wu family, even the court of the Great Jin Dynasty does not dare to slack off, and has begun to establish a smelting room and other places in this underground fire vein, and the management power is in the county guard and admiral Li Yuan of Zhonghe County, at the same time, higher-level negotiations and benefit distribution have begun, but in Zhonghe County, this specific level, because of the existence of the little leopard, the Wu family has a great advantage.

For example, the day before yesterday, the little leopard took a group of Qiu Ba and blocked the craftsmen of the Jian family for two hours, and the poor old man led by the Jian family almost pulled out a knife to kill.

"This Zhou Leopard is really too much, relying on a little bit of merit, he dares to do anything! Our Jian family, for the right to use this underground fire vein, but it has taken a lot of effort, and he has a small personal guard, and he dares to stop people outside!"

Zhonghe County Jian Mansion, Jian Ruyun roared like thunder, he is the supervisor of the Jian family in Zhonghe County, and Zhonghe County has always been the traditional sphere of influence of their Jian family, and now they have found the underground fire vein here, it stands to reason that they should be the one who benefits the most, but unexpectedly, a little leopard appeared inexplicably, not only completely knocked out the advantages of the Jian family in Zhonghe County, but even hindered everywhere, Rao is he has always been a gentle surname, and he can't help but be annoyed by the little leopard's domineering behavior.

"Master, this Zhou Leopard is now a celebrity next to Li Yuan, and he saved Li Yuan's life a month ago, and the entire personal guard battalion has accepted his affection, as long as what he does does not touch the bottom line of the government, the government will not care about him.

"Then what do you mean?!" Jian Ruyun asked, this apprentice of his had always been very scheming, so he asked this question.

"Bear with, wait!" Yu Dong said lightly, "Now this Zhou Leopard has borrowed the power of the government, and there is a king snake behind him who doesn't know what it has to do with him, there is no chance of winning a direct confrontation with him, it is better to sit and wait for a while, and then see the situation, Master, don't forget, in addition to our Jian family, there are also Pei Luo's two families, and they are also eyeing the fire veins underground, let's see if this Zhou Leopard only stops us, or even those two, if he even stops those two together, we don't have to worry!"

"What if he doesn't stop him?!"

"Then it's a bit of trouble!" Yu Dong frowned.

........................................................................ "I'm crazy, the four masters of iron smelting, you let me stop the three?!" Zhonghe County, in Wufu, the little leopard looked at Xu Andong without flinching, as if he was looking at an idiot, "Such a wrongdoer, it's enough for me to provoke one, you let me provoke three families at once, I'm not crazy?!" "Isn't there anything I can't do?" Xu Andong looked at the little leopard, with a look of embarrassment, although the little leopard is young, but his status in the Wu family is not necessarily lower than him, so he can only endure the surname Zidao, "The upper side is talking, there is a stalemate, we need to add some bargaining chips for that side!" "I don't care about this, I can't care about it!" The little leopard shook his head and said, "The general has already told me about this matter yesterday, the people of the Jian family have already made trouble with the general, and he doesn't want to see the people of the Pei Luo family go to him too!"

"Is there such a thing?!"

The little leopard didn't answer, but said, "Elder Xu, that's all I can do now, as for other things, please leave it to you, Elder!"

"But ......!" Xu Anton wanted to say something more, but the little leopard had already left on his own, without giving him any time to speak.

"This stinky boy!" Xu Andong scolded helplessly, but there was nothing he could do, as for whether the little leopard's words just now were true or false, he would not be stupid enough to go to Li Yuan to verify, "That's it, it's not bad to be able to find some trouble for the Jian family, Zhonghe County, with the strength of the Jian family, it will be of great benefit to us to beat them down, so don't be so demanding!"

.................................................................. The little leopard refused Xu Andong's request, and he was still very unhappy, he just wanted to cultivate with peace of mind in this county, and he didn't want to talk about so many things, but now he was already in the depths of the whirlpool, unable to extricate himself.

"Damn, there's no way, I'm going to Qinling County in three months, if Lao Tzu gets involved in this matter again, he really won't have time to cultivate!" The little leopard was secretly distressed, "It seems that we have to find a way to solve this problem, damn the underground fire vein, isn't this giving me trouble?"

Walking on the street of Zhonghe County, the little leopard's face looked a little ugly, and after turning a few corners, he came to a market.

It has been a few months since Zhonghe County returned to the hands of the Great Jin, and the new county guard of Zhonghe County is also a rare capable official.

This market is the largest market in Zhonghe County, similar to the small commodity market in the previous life of the little leopard, with a wide variety of goods.

As soon as I turned into this street, I saw crowds of people, shouting, bargaining, quarrelling, crying, and commotion, mixed together, converging into a huge noise, rushing to the face.

The little leopard didn't care, and slowly walked into the depths of this street, most of the merchants on this street were setting up stalls along the street, and the little leopard walked and looked at it as if he was looking for something, and walked for a while, and finally, he stopped in front of a small stall.

"This little brother, what do you want?"

The little leopard had just come out of Wufu, wearing a full suit of civilian clothes, and the vendors on the street naturally wouldn't recognize who he was, and he was not very old when he saw him again, so it was appropriate to call him a little brother.

"What are you made of a mask here?" the little leopard crouched down, then picked up a mask and knocked it, "Wood?!"

"Hehe, most of them are made of leather paper and wood, how about it, brother, do you want one?"

The little leopard put down the mask in his hand, carefully looked at the mask on the ground, and pointed to one of them, "Show me that one!"

The vendor looked at the direction of the little leopard's finger, immediately laughed, and handed over the mask that the little leopard pointed to, "Little brother, this mask is good, it is breathable, and it can be worn for a long time!"

The little leopard put the mask in his hand and looked at it several times, put it on his head and tried it, put it down again, and said to the vendor, "Can you order a mask here?!"

"Order?" The peddler looked up a little confused, looking at the little leopard, he had been in the business of this mask for several years, but no one had ever asked him such a thing.

The little leopard didn't say much, and took out a piece of cloth directly from his body, with a strange face painted on it, and the color of each pattern was also marked on it, "Help me make a mask according to this pattern, it is better to breathe, no problem, right?"

"No problem!" The peddler glanced at the mask and said with a smile, "This face is really good, but brother, if you order it, the cost may be ......!" "Money is not a problem, I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow, right?!" As he spoke, he took out ten cents and handed it to the vendor, who immediately smiled, you know, even the most expensive mask here is only five cents a piece.

Although he was thinking about increasing the price just now, he also increased it to a maximum of eight cents, a small business, where would he have thought that the little leopard would take out ten cents at once.

"That's only half of it, after I get the goods, I'll give you another ten wen, that's enough, right?!"

"Enough is enough!" the hawker nodded busily, "Little brother, don't worry, the day after tomorrow, you are satisfied!"

"That's good!" the little leopard nodded, stood up, left the stall, and wandered around the street for half an hour, buying sugar people, rouge gouache, small pendants and the like, a whole bag, and walked home.

This big bag of things is for Zhou Huaer and her children, anyway, he is also the uncle of those little guys, isn't he?

Carrying the big bags home, naturally provoked Zhou Hua'er to complain for a while, what kind of money to spend indiscriminately, to save some money and so on, the little leopard had a headache, he had become a landlord's wife, and he was still the same as before in the mountain village, and he couldn't see anyone spending money indiscriminately.

Then there was another burst of nagging, but this time the focus became the little leopard's ear hanging on the Waidan, Zhou Huaer naturally didn't know that this was the little leopard's Waidan, how to look at the little leopard's earring-like Waidan, how unpleasant, the little leopard once again fled.

"Damn, this is my waidan, in a few months I will be able to save my life on it, if I take it off, I will still be a bird!" the little leopard muttered to himself, and returned to his room.

This house belonged to him, so his room was naturally the largest of the house, located in a small reading courtyard.

The little leopard entered the yard and, before he had gone a few steps, stopped.

His eyes looked around vigilantly, his expression moved slightly, his spiritual sense was completely released, and after three breaths, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes locked on the stone table in front of him.

"I don't know what method you use to keep me from seeing you, but you better get out on your own and save me a hammer!"

"It's so strong, it's much stronger than I imagined!"

When the visitor saw that he was discovered, he did not hesitate, nor did he linger in the hiding place, and slowly revealed his figure.

At this time, the little leopard found out that the appearance of this person's body was like a chameleon, integrated with the surrounding environment, and even the breath was consistent with the surrounding nature, so when he entered the yard, the little leopard did not immediately find it, but felt that there was something wrong around him, until he released the spiritual sense, and then found the traces of the other party.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?!" the little leopard asked.

What appeared in front of him was a young man, not very old, it should be said, very light, about the same age as him, that is, thirteen or fourteen years old, his face was very handsome, full of childishness, but, in this childishness, there was also a faint trace of arrogance, this arrogance is not the kind of arrogance with arrogance, but a kind of arrogance from the bottom of the heart, extremely confident in himself, such a person, judging by the experience of the two lives of the little leopard, should be an extremely good background, and have enough strength to have the temperament of talents.

That's why he wondered, what did such a guy do when he came to his house?

"Pingzhou Li Xiu, I have come to teach Your Excellency the hammer method?!"

"Pingzhou Li ......?!" the little leopard's brows furrowed slightly, "Teach me my hammer technique, I don't seem to know you, do I?"

"Uncle Yuan praises you as the best among the young people of this generation, I really want to know how good the person who can be praised by Uncle Yuan is really good, so I take the liberty to come, and please don't be surprised!"

"Rely on ......!" the little leopard seemed to understand something, and secretly scolded in his heart, this is here to challenge, in the past six months, the little leopard has done a lot of things, any of these things are enough to make him famous in the martial arts, this is his fame, and in the martial arts, many people like to be famous, and the best way to become famous is to defeat celebrities, the little leopard is now a celebrity, but first, he is too young, and secondly, it seems that the background is very hard, but it is a difficult bone to gnaw, so no one comes to his trouble.

Not before, now there is.

The most troublesome thing for the little leopard is that it seems that the one in front of him still has a very good background, Pingzhou Li, that is a very famous gate valve in the world, his top boss, Li Yuan, the governor of Zhonghe County, is from the side branch of the Li family, the kid in front of him screamed "Uncle Yuan, Uncle Yuan", obviously has a lot to do with Li Yuan, the little leopard naturally has scruples in his heart, that is, he has to move, and he has scruples about it, and he can't let go at all.

Therefore, after hearing Li Xiu's words, the little leopard felt a little headache.

"You just said that you hit me with a hammer, but now it seems that your hammer is not on your body!" Li Xiu was obviously not as complicated as the little leopard thought, just looked at him, "What a surprise to me, your weapon didn't even come with you!"

As he spoke, the hand holding the long sword at his waist tightened, as if he was afraid that his sword would disappear, and almost at the same time, an extremely sharp momentum emanated from his body.

"Huh?!" The little leopard was startled, the hairs on his body all stood up under this sharp energy, his steps moved slightly, he took a step back slightly, and his brows furrowed even tighter, although this young man is young, but his achievements in kendo are extremely high, looking at his cultivation, he is almost the same as himself, and the peak of the three grades is just that, but the momentum on his body has been condensed and formed, turned into substance, and the whole person is like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and the sword intent has been initially formed.

Sword intent!

Such a difficult thing, how did he do it at his age, the cultivation of the third grade, but he had already condensed the sword intent, how could this be?

Such a thought flashed by, and now the little leopard finally understood the horror of the three elders of Jian Peiluo when he saw that he had condensed his fist intent in the underground fire vein.

It is precisely because he has condensed the fist intent, so no one knows the difficulties in this regard better than him, the reason why he can condense the fist intent is inseparable from his magical eyes, if there are no eyes, he will never be able to condense the fist intent, but I can't imagine that this kid in front of him, who is similar to him, is also the same as him, condensed the intent, does he also have fiery eyes?

"What, don't I deserve your shot?!"

released his momentum, but seeing that the little leopard was only startled for a moment, the expression on his face changed, but there was no sign of making a move, Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"No, no, you're the strongest of all the opponents I've ever met!" the little leopard shook his head, "but you have to understand that it's extremely impolite and uneducated to casually break into other people's families to find someone to compete!"

"Uh......!"

As a future star who was born in a thousand-year-old family, received a good education since childhood, was placed on high hopes, and focused on cultivating future stars, every move represents the Pingzhou Li family, and all his words and deeds must conform to the norms, which is the temperament that a child of the Li family in Pingzhou should have, not like now, break into other people's guys, and point a sword at others to force them to compete with themselves, as the little leopard said, this is a very rude thing.

Thinking that he had originally come to Zhonghe County to relax, but unexpectedly overheard Li Yuan praising this Zhou Leopard and praising him to the sky, as if this young generation had no talent except for this Zhou Leopard, his brain was hot, so he rushed over, and he didn't think carefully about whether his behavior was right or not, whether he should do it or not, and whether doing it would have a bad impact on himself or the Li family.

The bad effects are certain.

Think about the young master of the Li family in Pingzhou, who suddenly went to the home of a rude young man from a mountain village, pointed a sword at the other party's nose and asked him to compete with himself, if this kind of thing spreads, the Li family's face and his own face will be lost, whether he wins or loses, he is a loser.

This series of thoughts was spinning in his mind, and it was only a momentary effort, and after thinking about it, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

The little leopard's eyebrows jumped, and he laughed in his heart, dealing with this kind of good-faced family disciple, he had experience in his previous life, seeing the change in his complexion, he naturally understood that it was his own words that had an effect, and took advantage of this Li Xiu's uncertainty, taking advantage of the situation to strike the iron road, "However, if Your Excellency is not familiar with the terrain, you came here by chance, and you met me by accident, and you have itchy skills for a while, if you want to learn from each other, it is harmless!"

Li Xiu's eyes lit up, "Oh, yes, yes, that's it, I was wandering on the street, and I accidentally met Your Excellency, and when I saw Your Excellency, you were graceful, and you were heroic, and you ......!"

"Alright!" the little leopard listened to his stammering and his mind was a little confused, interrupting him, "It's not impossible to learn, but it's really a little boring to just learn!"

"So, what do you say?!"

"Why don't we bet on the lottery?!"

"Caitou, how are you going to bet?!" Li Xiu's mood calmed down at this time, and he also regained his composure, just now he was just pointed to the scruples in his heart by the little leopard, and he was just flustered for a while, seeing that the little leopard obviously didn't mean to make a big deal about it, and it seemed that he still wanted to learn from himself, and his heart naturally became clear.

"I need a sword, a high-grade real soldier, if I win this competition, you have to help me get a good sword at the level of a real soldier, you can't say it to anyone, of course, I won't let you suffer, if I lose, I will give you five spirit stones of the fire lineage, you should know that the price of this spirit stone will never be inferior to that of a real soldier!"

"Deal!" Li Xiu's eyes lit up.

Even if he is the young master of the Li family in Pingzhou, but the spirit stone is not an extra one because of his status, for him, this spirit stone is also a thing that can be met but not sought, and there are five pieces at once, which is much stronger than the value of a real soldier, so he agreed.

(To be continued)
