Chapter 1368 Dragon Tongue Bow
"Marty, what's the situation?"
Just as Chen Xu and others were waiting, dense footsteps and shouts came from behind. Soon, thousands of people came through the woods in black, leading a strong man with disheveled hair, holding a wooden stick as thick as a calf in his hand, which was the little overlord Xiang Yu.
"Xiang Ji stayed behind. Manager Tu led the first battalion to find all the villagers and gathered them on the open space by the lake. Manager Fang led the second battalion to help the musket team. Executives led the fifth battalion to search for warnings around him. All strangers were caught, and those who resisted were killed without any revenge!"
"Yes, Marquis!"
Three managers instantly led thousands of teenagers to scatter. The entire lakeside was filled with shouts and scolding. A group of teenagers swarmed into the village like wolves and began to search. As they cried, women, children, young and old were driven to the open space by the lake.
"Do you know why I want to leave you alone?" Chen Xu turned his head and looked at Xiang Yu with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist and said lightly.
"Xiang Ji doesn't know, so please tell me!" Xiang Yu was a little puzzled with a big stick.
"Your third uncle Xiang Bo escaped into the sea and disappeared after hiding in Zhoushan for a while. You didn't find out whereabouts. But today, I don't know if you are lucky or your third uncle is bad. We were able to meet on this deserted island. If you catch Xiang Bo later, what do you think this marquis should deal with it?"
"Ah? I... my third uncle is on this island?" Xiang Yu was trembling slightly excitedly.
"Although the news has not been confirmed, this marquis speculates that it is almost impossible to separate. You will know the result later. You have two choices now. One is to keep your promise and kill Zhonglimei and capture Xiang Bo... The other is to help Xiang Bo and others escape the pursuit. As for whether you can survive in the end, it all depends on your ability and luck!"
"Plop~"
Xiang Yu threw the wooden stick in his hand next to him and knelt heavily in front of Chen Xu on one knee.
"At the beginning, in Wuzhong, Ji was young and ignorant to collide with the marquis and caused trouble. The uncle in the later clan was bewitched by Zhonglimei and others and started a rebellion, and colluded with Ji brothers to ambush the marquis. Although all this had nothing to do with Ji, Xiang was not a person who dared not take responsibility. How could he refuse? Since Zhonglimei was on the island, Ji went to kill him and brought him to see the marquis. As for the third uncle who was guilty of rebellion, if the marquis could make a fuss, Ji would be grateful. If he could not, Ji was willing to trade his life for the third uncle to live a lifelong life, so that the second mother could reunite with the third uncle, and Xiang Ji had no regrets in his death!"
"Okay, let him have a steel knife!" Chen Xu nodded slightly, and a guard pulled out a snow-clear and cold-slided three feet away. After Xiang Yu got up, more than ten guards surrounded Chen Xu in front, back and forth, and each sword was unsheathed, staring at Xiang Yu with great vigilance.
"The Marquis is here to wait for me, and you will come when you go!" Xiang Yu pulled up his steel knife, and flickered as if he was carrying a toy and strides towards the direction of the sound of chasing.
"The Marquis believes so much?" After Xiang Yu left, a group of guards with hair on their backs all breathed a sigh of relief. The guard leader licked his dry mouth with lingering fear.
"If you have gratitude and revenge, you should have gratitude and gratitude. In order to prevent the Ji brothers from ambushing me, Xiang Ji and Xiang Jing went to find me without hesitation. In the end, both of them were almost injured when they were unexpected. This marquis let him go just to repay his kindness. Now that the kindness has been repaid, of course, they have to take revenge. If he really kills Zhonglimei and captures Xiang Bo, I will naturally let him have a way of life. If he chooses another way, then the Xiang family will completely disappear from now on..."
It took less than twenty minutes from the first gunshot to the large-scale round-up.
The situation in the village was chaotic. Amid the shouts and scoldings of thousands of people, guards soon came with three bodies and two injured people.
A member of the musket team died, and his opponent was very cruel. A long black arrow as thick as a thumb penetrated directly into his chest, his face was purple and black, and his two dead and injured were all adult men with disheveled heads, with rough fingers and rough linen cloth. One of them was shot on the head, and half of his head was shot into rotten watermelons, and his facial features were not visible at all. Another one was shot on the back and had died. The other two injured were shot in the legs and the other was shot in the abdomen. Especially the latter, they looked like gold paper, covered with blood, and basically no longer could do it.
Looking at the dead musket team member and looking at a long dark arrow piercing through his chest, Chen Xu's fist slammed, his eyes turned cold, and his face showed an uncontrollable murderous intent.
This arrow was so familiar that it made him wake up from nightmare. The moment when the Hangu Pass was as thunder-like as the arrow hit Jiang Chuyue heavily in his arms, he flew backwards as if he felt as if he was struck by lightning.
"Zhonglimei is nearby, protect the Marquis!"
When the guard leader saw this familiar arrow, his hair stood up and roared. More than a dozen guards immediately squeezed Chen Xu into the crowd like they were facing a great enemy. Chen Xu also felt his scalp tingling and tense all over, and reached out to take out his pistol to open the security.
In addition to lakes and farmlands, this place is surrounded by lush forests and thorns. It is not an exaggeration to say that a master of archery skills such as Zhonglimei is trying to penetrate the poplar a hundred steps. Within a hundred meters, the arrows are almost completely fired. If you hide nearby and be targeted, the disciples of the immortal family will also be burping.
After suffering a loss once, Chen Xu is now much more careful.
Just as Chen Xu was standing at the entrance of the village and looking around, a group of teenagers were searching around the lake, Chen Xia also came with more than a hundred musket players. Chen Xu and a group of guards breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Chen Xia to carry all the bullets to search carefully in the woods around the lake, without missing any clues. Then Xia Zijin and Xiang Jing and Han Xin also followed one after another.
"Why are you all here?" Chen Xu was a little nervous.
"My husband is our backbone, so you are the most important. Have you ever known who to fight with?" Shui Qingrou pulled Chen Xu's hand with equal nervousness and checked it carefully, and then he was relieved when he found that everything was fine.
"It was Xiang Bo, Zhong Limei and others who escaped. The musket team members had died..." Chen Xu pointed to a corpse covered with sackcloth in the grass.
"My father..." Xiang Jing exclaimed, his face pale and shaking it with his chest, tears flowed down instantly.
Xia Zijin stepped forward and lifted the sackcloth and looked at it, and his face became solemn: "Poison Arrow, it's indeed Zhonglimei!"
"Mr. Marquis, a longbow was found by the woods!"
Chen Xia came over to report with a few musket team members, and presented an iron wood long bow that was more than five feet long. The bow arm was thick and the dragon tendons were stringed. The tips of the bow at both ends were covered with fine copper. The color was red and the wear was severely worn. The workmanship was exquisite but very ancient. The horn guards at the handle had been ground into a transparent patina, which was obvious. At first glance, they were objects that were rubbed day and night.
The longbow is intact, but it is stained with many blood stains. The blood stains are not dry and there are long traces flowing along the bow arm.
"Marty, I found an arrow in the grass near the longbow!" Another musket team member presented a pitch-long arrow that was more than three feet long in length in the thickness of his thumb.
The bow is big and heavy, and the same is true for the arrow. The two got together. Chen Xu tried to pull the arrow and barely opened it. However, when he pulled the bow, Chen Xu's eyes fell on the inside of the ox horn guard, and there were two very small seal characters engraved here.
"Qingrou, what is this written?" Chen Xuheng looked vertically for a few times but didn't recognize him.
Water looked at it gently and said, "Gao Tongue."
"Along Tongue Bow~" Xia Zijin took it in surprise and looked at it for a few glances, nodding, "It is indeed the Along Tongue Bow, it turned out to be in Zhonglimei's hands!"
"Is the agave bow very famous?" Chen Xu was puzzled.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, there were many famous swords. Longyuan Tai Agan and Moye were all enthusiastic targets of the emperors and civilians. However, Chen Xu had never heard of any famous bow craftsmen who created famous tools that were passed down from generation to generation during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.
What's more, the heroes like Zhonglimei are not worth mentioning to the real immortal sect like Xia Zijin Shui Qingrou. This long bow is indeed heavy and large and extraordinary in workmanship, but in Chen Xu's opinion, it is just Er'er. If the factory's latest high-elastic steel is used as the tire and cork, the bow made will definitely have a longer range and greater power.
"This dragon tongue bow is said to be written by Mo Zhai. It uses recursion technique. It was made by Mo Zhai imitating Houyi's sun shooting arch. It is extremely powerful and requires four stones to be pulled open. It is said that when the bow is made, blood rain splashes and falls half of the dragon tongue. Therefore, Mo Zhai named this bow the dragon tongue. However, Mo Zhai believes that the evil spirit of this bow is too heavy and has never been shown to anyone. Therefore, there is only one legend in the world!" Xia Zijin looked at the longbow and said.
Chen Xu didn't believe it when he heard it, shook his head and said, "Since it has never been shown to anyone, how can this legend come from the world? After Zhonglimei was injured, he threw down this bow and escaped. It seems that his injuries are not light. Follow this marquis to chase him. He must be killed this time and do not let him escape. Come out!"
"Here~"
