Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 81 Behind the Scenes
  Even if the veteran archer does not shoot an arrow on target, the veteran archer still has too many choices when he is blind. There are three directions to choose from, left, right and center. Jia Qiang only needs to make any one choice to avoid being shot. The probability is very high.

The most important thing is that Jia Qiang is confident. As long as he is not hit by an arrow in the head and has the 'Healing Technique [Intermediate]', he doesn't have to worry about being injured at all.

The old archer fired the arrow in his hand. He held back the severe pain in his eyes and swept it out with all his strength with the spine of his bow.

He came through a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and even in the most dangerous times, he still maintained his offensive power.

Unfortunately, he met Jia Qiang. Just as he swung the bow spine, one hand grabbed the bow body, and then he felt a lightness all over his body, and the huge force lifted his body off the ground.

"Boom", he was hit hard to the ground.

Although the old archer did not have heavy armor, he still wore inner armor out of habit.

Jia Qiang felt it as soon as he got his hands on it. He didn't want to use both hands to break the inner armor, so he chose to smash it.

This blow was caused by Jia Qiang using a treasured bow to drive the old archer. The old archer had held the bow all year round and did not choose to give up when the bow was caught, causing his body to be hit hard on the ground.

Then Jia Qiang reached out and grabbed one of the old archer's hands, and smashed it heavily to the ground again.

These two blows broke countless bones in the old archer's body.

That is to say, he had practiced the general body-refining technique and his vitality was very strong, so he did not die on the spot.

At this time, the remaining Jianghu people alive were frightened by Jia Qiang and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to retreat or fight.

Jia Qiang quickly told them not to think about it anymore. He picked up the bow and took the arrow pot from the old archer.

Of course, this arrow pot is just a show. When he sets up his bow and shoots an arrow, the fate of these people in the world is sealed.

Jia Qiang stood in front of the gate of Shangfang Temple and took off the net on his body.

After a battle, Wang Bo died without knowing when, with multiple wounds on his body.

Jia Qiang didn't pity him either. Wang Bo had lured him into this trap.

He came to the old archer's side and first took action to crush off the old archer's hands and feet.

The severe pain made the old archer wake up. He saw Jia Qiang, but said nothing.

"Who sent you here?" Jia Qiang asked calmly.

A sarcastic look flashed in the old archer's eyes. He had lived long enough and his whole family relied on the Zhen family for their livelihood. Although he was not a dead soldier of the Zhen family, he was almost there.

Jia Qiang couldn't help but feel a headache as she looked at the old archer.

He looked around and knew very clearly what he was going to do. Since killing enemies would gain game experience, it would be difficult for him to survive unless he wanted to intentionally stay alive during the battle.

Think about it, under the huge force of two thousand kilograms, he will almost die by rubbing. How can these people in the world without armor survive?

Jia Qiang's spirit is strong, and he can sense the aura of the old archer, which is a kind of aura that has been battle-tested for a long time.

Such people have long been accustomed to life and death and have little fear of death.

"Hey, you guys are still alive. Your young master was killed. Why don't you go to the Salt Transport Envoy's Yamen and report to Mr. Lin!" Jia Qiang saw that several of Wang Bo's servants were still alive, and he ordered in a deep voice.

These servants were really unqualified. When they were attacked, they chose to flee aside.

It wasn't until the battle was over that they came back timidly.

These servants had long been frightened by the tragedy at the scene, and their heads were a little unclear. After hearing Jia Qiang's instructions, one of the servants turned around and ran away instinctively.

The other servants reacted after a while.

Their young master was killed and they had to go back and report it no matter what. However, Jia Qiang's momentum was so strong that the first thing they thought of was to go to the Yanyunshi Yamen to find Mr. Lin.

Jia Qiang turned to look at the old archer again. He took off the inner armor from the old archer's body.

The old archer didn't know if he had any position in the army in his early years. This inner armor was made of silver wire and was very light in weight. It was obvious that the material was extremely special.

Jia Qiang is no longer surprised that there are materials in this world that were incomprehensible in her previous life. In a world with immortals, it is normal to have any special features.

He was just short of a piece of inner armor, and someone came to his door.

Anyway, there was still some time to wait for someone to arrive, so he took off his Confucian shirt, took off the 'Fengyue Baojian' on his chest, and was about to fix it on the silver inner armor.

But when he saw the old archer, his hand stopped.

He smiled and put the front of the 'Feng Yue Bao Jian' in front of the old archer's eyes, and used his fingers to pop up a 'healing technique [intermediate level]' to alleviate the old archer's injuries a little bit.

The old archer was shocked. He didn't know what was in front of him, but he saw the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror' at a glance.

Then his eyes became blurred, and the greatest desire in his heart appeared on the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror'.

Jia Qiang saw a woman's figure appearing on the 'Feng Yue Bao Jian'. The woman was wearing a fifth-grade imperial uniform and was smiling at the old archer.

"Who is she?" Jia Qiang asked aloud.

"Mrs. Zhen!" The old archer's mind was affected by the 'Feng Yue Baojian' and he murmured back unconsciously.

Jia Qiang saw that the old archer's energy was rapidly draining away, and he would die soon if he continued like this.

He doesn't want the old archer to die on the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror'. Who knows if being killed by the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' will gain experience. It doesn't matter if he is an ordinary person. This is a man who has practiced the art of general training. A warrior in the army.

He put away the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror'. Even if the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' was taken back, the old archer's eyes were still blurred and he had not recovered.

Jia Qiang felt chilled. The ability of the immortal's treasure to control people's hearts was really terrifying.

If he hadn't had a game panel, his fate might not have been much better than that of the old archer.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed the old archer's neck, and broke his neck with a little force.

When the old archer was dying, he still had a weird smile on his face.

Jia Qiang picked up the treasured bow lying on the ground. Treasured bow is a general term for metal bows. Because it requires too much power and is supervised by the palace, only generals who practice the art of general cultivation can possess it.

Any treasure bow is extremely precious and cannot be obtained only by being rich and powerful.

If Jia Qiang hadn't saved Emperor Jingwen at that time, Emperor Jingwen might not have given him the treasured bow 'Zhentian Bow'.

Although there is a "Zhentian Bow", Jia Qiang never thinks that there will be no shortage of treasure bows. I have always equipped the 'Zhentian Bow' in the game equipment column before. This is actually risky. After all, it is a gift from the royal family, which is still very noticeable.

If it is taken out suddenly on some occasions, the trouble will not be small.

He put the nameless treasure bow in his inventory. Even if someone traced it, he would not admit that he had taken it.

He fiddled with the inner armor again, fixed the 'Fengyue Baojian' on the inner armor, put the inner armor on his body, and finally put on the Confucian shirt.

The inner armor is very light, and the Confucian shirt is originally wide, so it can't be seen from the outside at all.

He patted the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror'. This treasure really saved his life. He also secretly warned himself that the strength of the ninth rank was not foolproof.

After coming to this world, he killed hundreds of martial arts masters, killed powerful generals who practiced the art of general body refining, and even immortals were severely wounded by him and fled.

This made him a little self-inflated. This arrow made him sober up a lot and re-recognized his own strength.

The monks from Shangfang Temple arrived first, but Jia Qiang stopped any behavior and only asked the monks to help protect the scene.

After waiting for a while, a group of people arrived. Lin Ruhai, a civil servant, was riding on a horse. After seeing Jia Qiang, Lin Ruhai's heart finally dropped.

After hearing that Jia Qiang was attacked and killed, although he learned from the person who reported the news that Jia Qiang was fine, he still felt uneasy because he had never seen him.

When Lin Ruhai saw more than thirty corpses at the scene, he couldn't help but be furious.

However, the matter still needs to be reported to the prefect and magistrate, and his official position cannot resolve the case.

But in this case, Jia Qiang was his disciple, and Wang Bo was from the Wang family, a salt merchant. They both had some connections with Lin Ruhai, so it was okay for Lin Ruhai to stay and watch.

Jia Qiang also felt that there was trouble. After waiting for a while, Magistrate Wu and Zhizhou Zhang also rushed over.

After all, it was a major case in which dozens of people died, and the prefect and prefect must arrive at the scene.

Professionals inspected the scene. In fact, just one look at the scene revealed that this was a trap set by Jianghu people against the powerful generals in the army.

Of course, the materials of the five large nets are not something ordinary families can come up with.

When Wu Zhifu and Zhang Zhizhou saw the old archer's body, their expressions changed.

"This is General Zheng!" Zhang Zhizhou said in a deep voice.

An old general who retired from the army and still lived in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhang Zhizhou himself also commanded the army, so he knew the old general Zheng.

Magistrate Wu had met Old General Zheng on another occasion, and he knew even more that General Zheng was a worshiper of the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

Magistrate Wu turned to look at Jia Qiang. He had only heard that Lin Ruhai had accepted a new disciple before, but today he found out that the identity of this disciple was not simple.

Jia Qiang told what happened, not to mention his hidden identity, but his identity as a student of the Imperial College, so that Magistrate Wu could not do anything to him.

Unless the Imperial College is notified and Jia Qiang's status as a supervisor is removed, Magistrate Wu cannot use shackles or other torture instruments on Jia Qiang. Instead, he can imprison Jia Qiang, but he needs to explain clearly to the Imperial College afterwards.

It would be fine if the supervisors ignored him. The supervisors had been treated unfairly outside. What was waiting for Magistrate Wu was the revenge from the Imperial College.

Therefore, Magistrate Wu did not even mention the matter of Jia Qiang being imprisoned. He questioned bystanders on the spot, determined the whole matter, and closed the case directly.

Everything was clear from the beginning to the end, and there were both witnesses and physical evidence.

Of course, another reason why Magistrate Wu closed the case so quickly was because of the Jiangnan Zhen family.

It concerns the Jiangnan Zhen family, and Magistrate Wu doesn't want to help the Jiangnan Zhen family deal with Jia Qiang. He doesn't want to become a knife in the Zhen family's hands, let alone offend the Jiangnan Zhen family, so closing the case directly is the best option.

As for Jia Qiang, can she be considered a simple person if she can let the Jiangnan Zhen family send out their army's sharp archers to deal with her, and then escape without any injuries?

"Why did you offend the Jinling Zhen family?" Lin Ruhai asked in a deep voice while riding a horse alongside Jia Qiang when they were going back.

Lin Ruhai is rooted in Yangzhou, but the salt business is actually spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. Although he has not seen it with his own eyes, he knows about General Zheng and other retired military figures.

After Zhang Zhizhou called out the name of the corpse, he knew that it was the work of the Jinling Zhen family.

"I originally had a conflict with the third master of the Zhen family in the capital, but it has been resolved. I didn't expect that the Zhen family would still hold on to it!" Jia Qiang said with a cold light in her eyes.

He has no mercy towards his enemies, but the Jinling Zhen family is still a problem.

The main reason is that the Jinling Zhen family does not need him to move, and it will collapse within a few years, and the end will be quite miserable.

But no matter what, he must teach the Jinling Zhen family some lessons. He really thinks that Jia Qiang is so easy to bully.

"The Zhen family has great influence in Jiangnan. The entire Jiangnan officialdom gives their family face. You should be more careful!" Lin Ruhai thought for a while and did not say anything to persuade, but just reminded.

What did he say? What he was most worried about was that Jia Qiang would directly destroy the Zhen family in Jinling regardless of the situation.

It must be said that he was not very clear about Jia Qiang's force before, but through this time and the previous conversation with Xue Tong, he learned about Jia Qiang's ability to kill water bandits on the canal, and knew that Jia Qiang was really determined to kill. , can indeed pose a great threat to the Zhen family.

Take Old General Zheng as an example. He was a sharp archer in the army, but with the help of a trap and more than thirty martial arts masters, he was all killed in Shangfang Temple.

Jia Qiang focused on his game character status panel. After killing General Zheng, he was finally able to level up.

It's really hard to upgrade to this level. He didn't know how much experience he had accumulated before, but he killed dozens of water bandits on the canal, and this time he killed more than 30 martial arts masters, but he still couldn't upgrade.

It wasn't until he broke General Zheng's neck that he felt that he had accumulated enough game experience.

He looked at the game character status panel and clicked the '↑' symbol on 'Name: Jia Qiang [Level 15↑]', and the character level was raised to level 16.

Looking at the extra '↑' symbol below the four items of strength, constitution, agility and spirit, he once again fell into the trouble of happiness.

In the end, he chose to improve his agility attribute, adding all five attribute points to his agility attribute, 'Agility: 56'.

The reason for improving the agility attribute was a decision he made after careful consideration.

Strength is 5 points more and 5 points less. Compared to the total of 100 points, it is meaningless. Physical fitness is enough for now and there is no need to improve it.

As for his spirit, his spirit has been slowly improving since he practiced the 'Tai Xu Jing'. Although this improvement process is extremely slow, he can improve his spirit through practice, so there is no need to waste precious attribute points.

Of course, the most important thing is that he realized the benefits of improving agility.

This time when facing General Zheng, in addition to protecting his vital points due to the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror' on his body, his reaction speed and movement speed were fast enough.
