Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 2 The Gun King of the Northland, well-deserved reputation!
Above the official road, a carriage was bathed in the moonlight. Under the protection of three knights, there was a crisp clatter of horse hooves.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, the leading silver-armored knight pulled the reins in his hand, and the horse under his seat neighed and stopped.

"Major General, what's the matter?"

The other two knights came to the side of the silver armored knight and asked in a low voice.

The silver armored knight narrowed his eyes and pointed to the side of the official road.

"Uncles, why is there a fire over there?"

The two looked along the fingers of the silver-armored knight, and saw dozens of fires flickering among the mountains shrouded in night in the distance, which could be seen even from a long distance.

"Major General, it's important that we are on our way and don't miss the main business."

A knight frowned and whispered on the horse.

The silver-armored knight was about to speak when he heard the words, when his ears moved suddenly, and his expression changed slightly.

As a martial artist, the silver armor knight's five senses have been greatly strengthened.

Just now, he used the night wind to faintly hear the words "Little Lord" from the direction of the firelight!
The Hou Ye of Taihe Mansion has no other family except Zhao Qin, the Marquis of An Guo.

Then this young master must also be a figure in An Guohou's mansion!

Thinking of this, the knight in shining armor no longer had any doubts and made a decision immediately:
"You two uncles, you are here to protect aunt. I feel quite uneasy in my heart, so I will go over there to check in person. If there is nothing wrong, I will come back soon."

"Major General..."

The two knights looked at each other and opened their mouths to speak.

At this moment, a maid aged fourteen or fifteen jumped out of the carriage and said to General Silver Armor:
"Major General, Madam asked the servant girl to ask, but something happened ahead, why did you stop moving forward?"

The silver armored knight bowed his hands to the two knights, rode his horse to the side of the carriage, got off his horse, and bowed his hands to salute in one go.

"I've met Aunt Xiu."

"Youwei, what happened?"

A soft and charming female voice came from the carriage. Then, the curtain of the carriage was opened by a delicate hand, revealing a beautiful face of no more than 25 years old.

This person is none other than Zhang Xiu's aunt, the widow Zou.

It turned out that Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle, once served under the command of Anguohou Zhao Qin.Zhang Ji had no children, and treated his nephew Zhang Xiu as his own son. He not only taught Zhang Xiu the art of war and formation, but also spent great efforts to find famous teachers to teach him martial arts.

On his deathbed, Zhang Ji, who was grateful for the kindness of Marquis Anguo, called Zhang Xiu, who had returned from studying arts, to the bedside and told him to serve under Marquis Anguo after the vigil.

Three years of filial piety passed in a flash, and Zhang Xiu took two of Zhang Ji's old subordinates to go to the Anguohou Mansion to serve.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiu thought that after he left, his aunt Zou would be alone and life would be inconvenient, so she persuaded Zou to go to Taihe Mansion with him.

"Auntie, it's like this..."

Zhang Xiu respectfully expressed his thoughts to Mrs. Zou.

Zou Shi listened, nodded and said:
"Youwei, you are doing the right thing. If you are a member of the Marquis of An Guo, with this incident, you can also get into the eyes of that Marquis, and it will be more conducive to gaining a firm foothold in the Marquis Mansion; if not, you should do good deeds and accumulate virtue. With meritorious deeds, I can turn danger into danger in future battles on the battlefield. Go ahead, Auntie will be protected by your two uncles, so there will be no problem."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Zou again, got on the green-maned horse, and galloped towards the fire.

Uncle Zhang Ji regarded himself as his son, Zhang Xiu also regarded Zhang Ji as his father, and Zou as his mother.

If Mr. Zou doesn't agree to go, then no matter how unwilling he is, he can't go against it.

Watching Zhang Xiu disappear into the night, Zou in the carriage twisted a strand of long hair to play with, her beautiful eyes were erratic.

"An Guohou's Mansion... If I can have a place in this Marquis's Mansion, then the Shimen, who were chased to nowhere by those bald donkeys and bull-nosed men in the north, may be able to take root in the Chu land in the south..."

The sound of horse hooves coming from far away made Ma Laosan couldn't help but frown.

Did he just pass by by accident, or did he come specifically to see them?
"Boss?"

an assassin asked in a low voice.

Ma Laosan waved his hand.

"Take four or five brothers over there to have a look, don't let the other party disturb our good business!"

"Here!"

The assassin cupped his hands, beckoning five or six brothers to turn around and run towards the sound of horseshoes.

"This little Marquis is quite good at hiding. Tell the other brothers to hurry up!"

He exhaled a heavy breath and gave instructions to his men.

For some reason, Ma Laosan felt an unspeakable irritability in his heart.

On the other side, Zhang Xiu was riding on his mount, looking at the people standing in front of him, he asked in a deep voice: "Why do you all block the way?"

"Boy, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. If you are sensible, just turn around and leave obediently. Otherwise, grandpa recognizes you, and grandpa won't recognize you with a knife in his hand!"

An assassin said sadly.

Zhang Xiu's eyes flickered when he heard the words.

He is not a stupid person. This group of people are all masked with black scarves, and they can tell at a glance that they are not good people.

Combined with the three words "Little Hou Ye" that he just heard, Zhang Xiu had a faint guess, and his thoughts changed, but he made a decision in an instant.

He saw his legs gently clamping the horse's belly, and the green-maned horse that connected with his mind rushed out from under his crotch.

Accompanied by a flash of cold light, the leading assassin said "ho ho" a few times, clutching his neck and fell to the ground dead.

"This kid killed Lao Xu?!"

"How brave!"

"Kill this kid and avenge Lao Xu!"

No one expected that the other party would dare to attack first. Frightened and angry, several assassins pulled out their weapons and slashed at Zhang Xiu, shouting and cursing.

"The turkey dog!"

Zhang Xiu snorted softly, inserted the long sword into the sheath with his backhand, and took out a steel gun from the winning hook. With a twist of his hands, the steel gun turned into pear blossoms the size of bowls, and used them as hoods for the assassins. Down.

puff!puff!puff!
Those assassins only felt a pain in their foreheads, and the next moment, their consciousness fell into the boundless darkness.

Zhang Xiu didn't even look at it, and rode his horse forward while shouting loudly.

"Young Master, don't panic, reinforcements will arrive in no time!"

Zhao Yu, who was lying in the bushes, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard these words.

It's just that he didn't know whether the other party's words were true or not, maybe it was to lure him out of his hiding place?

Therefore, Zhao Yu did not take any action, and still lay quietly in the bushes.

When it comes to your own life, you should put caution first.

"Damn it, what are Lao Xu and the others doing, they let the other party rush over!"

Seeing the one man and one horse approaching continuously, Ma Laosan spat on the ground bitterly.

"Lao Li, take your team and continue the search. The others, together with me, kill that guy who doesn't know the heights of the world!"

Following Ma Laosan's order, most of the assassins swarmed towards Zhang Xiu under his leadership.

"Good come!"

There was a bloodthirsty smile on Zhang Xiu's handsome face, he shook the reins, and said in a low voice:
"kill!"

The green-maned horse under its crotch seemed to have sensed the murderous intention of its owner. As its hooves thrashed, its speed suddenly increased, and it rushed forward dozens of feet in the blink of an eye.

"Give me my life!"

Zhang Xiu fought Chunlei with his tongue, and shook his hands. The steel gun seemed to be divided into three, and it stabbed out with a cold light. The three assassins who rushed to the front felt a blur in front of their eyes and a pain in their throats, and they fell down almost at the same time. land.

"Your son is so brave, you dare to kill the people under Grandpa's subordinates!"

Seeing that the three of his subordinates died unexpectedly when they met each other, Ma Laosan was startled and angry, jumped up, and pierced Zhang Xiu's face with the long sword in his hand.

"Qinggong? People in the Jianghu?"

Zhang Xiu showed disdain, snorted coldly, and twisted his right hand that was holding the end of the gun. As the tip of the gun trembled slightly, countless cold lights shot towards Ma Laosan who was flying towards him with murderous intent.

Ma Laosan only blocked three or two shots, but felt that his whole body was struck by lightning, his ugly face was flushed red, his right hand holding the sword was shaking non-stop, and he retreated more than ten steps in a row before he took off the sword With all his strength, he was both shocked and angry.

Where did this master come from? !
From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the hiding place of the young master, Ma Laosan hated secretly, but knew that there was such a person, and he would not be able to do everything he wanted.

"Boy, you have the guts to meddle in the affairs of the palace. Hmph, let's read the libretto on a donkey, we'll see!"

Unable to do anything, Ma Laosan made a decisive decision and flew back.

"withdraw!"

"Did the young master let you go?"

Seeing that the opponent wanted to escape, Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, hung the bright silver gun back on the victory hook with his right hand, and took off the horn bow from his back with his left hand and held it in his palm.

With the sound of "creaking", the bow opened like a full moon.

hum-

The bowstring vibrated, and the arrow slid through the air, heading straight for Ma Laosan's back.

When meeting each other, Ma Laosan saw that the opponent was carrying a longbow, so he was wary of the opponent shooting arrows, but now he heard the sound of the bowstring, he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and saw an arrow skipping over his shoulder, his heart suddenly relaxed.

But the next moment, he felt a pain in his back, and when he looked down, he saw an arrow with blood in his eyes.

Obviously there is only one string sound, how could it be...

With such doubts, Ma Laosan's consciousness fell into boundless darkness.

"The leader is dead?!"

Seeing that their leader was shot through by the opponent's arrow, the rest of the assassins were shocked.

As the leader of the assassins, Ma Laosan was two steps higher than them in terms of cultivation alone, so he was easily dealt with by the other party?
At the thought of this, these assassins were so frightened that they became like birds and beasts in an instant.

Zhang Xiu bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot several assassins to death before stopping.

Even with the moonlight, compared with the daytime, the vision at night is still too poor, otherwise, at least half of these assassins would have to be handed over to Zhang Xiu.

After killing the assassins, Zhang Xiu said loudly:

"Little Marquis, the assassins have been killed by Zhang Xiu. Please show up. Zhang Xiu will escort the young Marquis back to the Marquis Mansion."

Zhao Yu, who was lying in the bushes, felt relieved when he heard what the other party said.

"Thank you, General Zhang, for saving your life. I will never forget it!"

As Zhao Yu said this, he came out of the bushes and saluted Zhang Xiu.

"Young master has broken Zhang!"

Seeing the young marquis of Anguo Mansion salute him, Zhang Xiu was so frightened that he dismounted from his saddle and only turned sideways to receive a half salute.

He is going to serve in this An Guo Mansion in the future, and when it comes to relationships, the other party is the master and he is the subject, even if he has the grace of saving his life, he dare not accept the full salute of the other party.

"How did the little marquis encounter an assassination?"

Zhang Xiu asked Zhao Yu to get on the horse and asked.

"Oh, this is a long story..."

Mentioning today's narrow escape, Zhao Yu couldn't help but get reddened eyes.

I, really, it's too difficult!
