Chapter 40: The fire horse gallops

"Good shooting skills!"

Yan Qing's ruthless three-pronged beads attracted Xie Keda's praise.

To be honest, when Zheng Yanqing was bargaining with the horse thief, Xie Ke looked down on Zheng Yanqing a little. He was so mean and had no courage. He actually discussed with the horse thief to buy his life? It was too embarrassing and too weak.

Then, Yan Qing's three consecutive beads surprised Xie Ke.

He is also a person who is proficient in archery, so how can he not see it? Yan Qing's archery skills were taught by experts and famous teachers. Thinking about it again, Zheng Yanqing was under Changsun Sheng. Changsun Sheng was the number one archer in the Sui Dynasty, and archery skills were superb. How could the disciples he taught were easy?

Xie Ke is young after all, so he can't help but feel arrogant.

However, he immediately admired Zheng Yanqing's birthday, and he was worthy of being the half-Yuanjun who wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He was really clever.

Xie Hong saw this psychological change in his eyes.

He sighed secretly and said: After all, he is still not as good as the one with the one in Yuanjun!

The Zheng family has a half-destined king, which has slowed down suddenly and started to show signs of recovery. This has also caused major families to focus on the growth of their children. The same is true for the Xie family. Now that Xie Ke has developed a Xie Ke, he is a leader among his peers. Therefore, the Xie family has made up their minds to cultivate Xie Ke well. Today, when it comes to secretly competing, Xie Hong has to admit that at least in terms of nourishing qi, Xie Ke is more than just weaker than Zheng Yanqing.

For Zheng Yanqing, even problems that can be solved with money are not allowed.

He began to show a gesture of concession, and also wanted to find some useful information from his opponent.

Unfortunately, Xie Ke couldn't bear it and shot an arrow first, which forced him to change his attitude. But even so, he found out some clues. This was a horse thief in Shouyang Mountain, and the leader was named two-headed snake. Obviously, this was not a person's name, but the other party's nickname. Moreover, the reason why he came to the door was because he was instructed by others.

Ten thousand pounds to buy your own life?

This is a considerable price...

The client's background should not be too small. If an ordinary family doesn't say ten thousand coins, they may not be able to produce a hundred coins. Secondly, the two-headed snake knows the identity of Yun Qiwei, but dares to take action at will, which means he is fearless.

In other words, his client has a good background.

If you count it carefully, there are not many haters who cannot be resolved with Zheng Yanqing.

Is Maizi Zhong?

It should be impossible. Judging from the several contacts with him, although this person is unruly, he is a person who can afford to lose.

People from the Yuwen family?

It is impossible... Yuwen Shu just expressed his intention to reconcile, so how could he cause trouble for him? Besides, Zheng Yanqing and the people of the Yuwen family did not have an unresolved hatred. Yuwen Chengzhi's secret love for Pei Cuiyun is related to Yanqing, but he bought a murder for this matter. I am afraid that Yuwen Shu would not do this, and he did not bother to use this method.

The rest are Wang Tong, who was humiliated and returned to Taiyuan four years ago, and Zheng, who lost face to worship his ancestors this time.

Wang Tong is not like someone who uses such a method.

To put it bluntly, he is just a scholar who loves reputation, and he still has the pride of a scholar in his bones. If he could endure for four years and suddenly take action at this time, then the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties would be left with a strong mark.

Not Wang Tong...

This answer is about to come out!

There is no other person except the Zheng family.

But which room was it? Which person was secretly instructed? Zheng Yanqing was not clear yet. But this is not difficult to investigate. As long as Yan Qing is alive, he will definitely be able to lift this person out. No one expected that the quiet and speechless Zheng Yanqing had found the answer.

After a moment of riot, the horse thief outside the mountain gate stabilized.

But Zheng Yanqing did not find the leader's place, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.

How did such a team without a leader lead the way? From the beginning, two-headed snakes did not appear, but Zheng Yanqing was sure that the two-headed snakes must have been in the team. Two-headed snakes died before the battle had an extremely powerful deterrent effect for ordinary horse thieves. But now, they still seem to be orderly.

"Mr. Xie, can you find the thief leader?"

Xie Hong was also observing silently and whispered: "Not found yet!"

Before he could finish his words, hundreds of thieves shouted in unison. In an instant, the troops were divided into three groups, with dozens of cavalry as the main force, and rushed towards the mountain gate. At the same time, the thieves were divided into two teams and rushed towards the south and north gables.

Their pretentiousness is not very good, but they are quite well-organized when attacking.

The one who rushed in the front was more than a dozen thieves holding wooden shields, while the other thieves bent over and hid behind the shield hands. They seemed to be slow, but rushed forward very quickly.

Zheng Yanqing secretly called out bad...

"Mr. Xie, please bring people to block the mountain gate!"

As he spoke, he quickly rushed towards the south gable with his bow.

The three entrances of this ancient temple, the one with the worst combat effectiveness is Dang Shiying, who is guarding behind the gap in the south gable.

As for the North Gable, although there is a large gap, there must be no big problem with Pei Zi, a veteran of his hometown. However, Dang Shiying is relatively weak. Although he has five master generals under his command, his control is obviously insufficient.

Zheng Yanqing ran quickly to the south gable, while Xie Hong and Xie Ke were each holding bows and arrows, facing the galloping war horses, shooting arrows, and blocking the way of the horse team. Although the horse thieves were prepared, more than a dozen bows and crossbows were still unprepared for them. From time to time, war horses neighed, and the mounts of the two horse thieves fell in a pool of blood.

At the same time, Yan Qing had already run behind the South Gable.

Seeing the thief getting closer, Dang Shiying was indeed a little panicked!

"Don't panic, leave the two of you to shoot with me. Dang Shiying, please bring the other two. If there are thieves approaching, just kill them without any hesitation!"

Although Yan Qingxiao looked at him, his words had a surprising effect.

He contributed a sharp arrow and silently said: Arrows and intentions are united, intentions are united, and gods are united with heaven and earth.

In an instant, he seemed to have entered an extremely mysterious state.

When the crisis came, the various priming essences taught to him by Changsun Sheng suddenly merged strangely. Changsun Sheng once said that shooting requires "empty", but Yan Qing could not understand what this "empty" means and how to do it. This emptiness does not mean relaxing the whole body, how...but it means the purity of the mind when shooting archery.

Can you be a baby if you focus on your energy and become gentle?

The finger suddenly loosened, and at the moment of release, the force produced a wonderful push with the bowstring.

With a bang, the sharp arrow shot on the thief's wooden shield, creating a sound that was almost bursting. The solid wooden shield suddenly appeared cracks. Yan Qing followed another arrow and pulled the bow like a full moon, and a cold light flashed away.

The bandit screamed and the blood appeared.

A gap suddenly appeared in the shield wall, and two archers were left with arrows flying out like meteors.

In the blink of an eye, three bandits fell to the ground and kept wailing.

The leader of the horse thief may indeed be a character, but these bandits are a mob.

In a panic, the bandits were panicked and retreated repeatedly. Zheng Yanqing stood up, his heart was as calm as water, and three arrows were fired one after another.

The three bandits who were wailing in a pool of blood suddenly disappeared.

This cold-blooded shooting made the bandits frightened and retreated like a tide in an instant. Yan Qing hid behind the gables and silently observed the movements of the bandits. It was strange that no one scolded them, let alone anyone walked around. The bandits quickly calmed down and were eager to try, preparing to start the next wave of attacks...

Something was wrong. What methods did these two-headed snakes use to comfort his men?

In the first wave of attacks, the bandits were just tentative charges. After dropping seven or eight corpses, they quickly began to rectify.

Chen Guang arrived in front of Zheng Yanqing, "Young Master, something is wrong with this group of strong men."

"You can see it too?"

"kindness!"

Chen Guang said: "I have been observing them. They don't have strong bows in their hands, and most of them use hunting bows. So from the beginning, they didn't shoot against us because the bows and arrows in their hands were far less powerful than us.

Every time this group of people collapsed, they would touch their left chest with their hands, as if they were praying for something, and then launched a new attack."

"Pooh!"

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but spat and said softly: "It's so damn evil. Where did these guys come from?

Also, which one is a two-headed snake, why haven't I found it yet?

If we can find these two snakes... we can't say that we can fight quickly. If we keep repeating this, after three or five impacts, our arrows will be tight."

After all, it is not a marching war, so Zheng Yanqing and others cannot carry too many arrows.

This is their most serious problem now... Once the arrows are exhausted, they will have to face a close fight with their opponents. Zheng Yanqing believes that he has reached the level of Yi Gu and can block three or four strong men. But he cannot guarantee that twenty of them can kill hundreds of thieves. Especially when he doesn't know who is a two-headed snake and cannot capture the thief first, killing the thief will become even more difficult.

"No, we must find a way to send someone out and seek assistance."

Chen Guang frowned, "If my arm was not injured, I might be able to fight out... But young master, with your skills and Yutu's foot strength, if we cover it with all our strength, we will definitely be able to break out of the siege."

Zheng Yanqing quickly shook his head, "Everyone can fight out, but I can't.

The thieves want to kill me, and most of the people here are mainly me. If I ask for my own peace, I will have the opportunity to escape just now, so why wait until this time? If I leave, everyone will be even more panicked and it will be even more difficult to resist the thieves...

Brother Shen, uncle and nephew Xie Hong were implicated by innocent people, but he refused to retreat in the face of war. Zheng Yanqing will not retreat!"

It is not to retreat, nor can it be retreated!

The two simple words have shown Zheng Yanqing's determination.

When Yan Qing said this last sentence, his voice suddenly increased.

For a moment, everyone in the ancient temple looked at him in unison, and his eyes even more showed a nearly firm spirit.

"Everyone only left a pot of arrows, and the rest were sent into the hall."

Xie Hong suddenly spoke, which made everyone stunned.

Yan Qing said: "Xie Ke and I each hold two pots of arrows. Everyone listens to Mr. Xie and put the arrows into the hall."

Relying on the gables, I can only hold on for a while.

So sooner or later, Zheng Yanqing and others knew very well.
