Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 144 Hunting

Liang Xiao attacked first, Wei Qing and Qin Ge responded, and in a blink of an eye, only one of the ten archers remained.Seeing that the situation was not good, the man turned around and burrowed into the woods. After walking a few steps, his foot missed, and he rolled down the mountain road screaming.

As soon as the shout came out, Liang Xiao shot an arrow, piercing his throat.

"Ah Xiao, your archery skills have improved again?" Qin Ge rushed over with a bloody long sword in hand, and gave a compliment when he heard the screams stop abruptly.

Liang Xiao smiled.After four days of retreat in the Houyi camp, although he didn't even touch a bow, he felt that he had made great progress in both hearing and body skills.This is a discovery, and I will retreat every once in a while in the future.

"How are you?"

"It's fine. What should we do next?" Wei Qing put away his long sword and took off his bow.

"You go grab a boat and go back to the island to rescue the lord. The lord is from Wu County, and he knows how to get back. I'll stop them here to buy you time. Before dawn, the news will not leak out. After dawn, it's hard to tell. "

Wei Qing hesitated for a moment: "Does your lord know that we are going to rescue him?"

"Yes, I have made two appointments with him, one is the third watch. If all goes well, you should rush back to the island now and dive near Liu Ju's big tent. It will be almost the third watch. Before dawn, he'll find an excuse to slip out."

Wei Qing was relieved.

While observing the yelling archers around, Qin Ge said, "What about you, how can we find you?"

"You don't need to look for me. After dawn, no matter what, I will leave here and go find Li Jiao and the others. We will meet up in Wu County."

"Okay!" Qin Ge nodded vigorously, pulled Wei Qing, bent his back, and walked quickly to the lake along the way he came.

Liang Xiao put down his bow and arrow, tightened his belt again, and entered the fighting state.The shouts all around were getting closer, but the woods were pitch black, and it was not easy for these people to find him.There is only one person he is worried about: Zhong Liqi, and Zhong Liqi has been persuaded by him, and he will not really come to arrest him.

What he had to consider was how to hunt and kill these people, and then create an opportunity for Zhong Liqi to save them, and delay as much as possible to buy time for Wei Qing and Qin Ge to rescue Yan Zhu.

Liang Xiao let go of the bowstring and rewound it.After four days of retreat, his strength has increased a bit, and he needs to change to a shorter bowstring.A bow can be adjusted by matching different bow strings, the shorter the bow string, the stronger the bow power.Although the range of adjustment is limited, for experts, this little difference is enough to affect the outcome.

After changing the bowstring, he checked the quiver again.His quiver is specially made.Ordinary quivers usually hold thirty arrows, but his one can hold fifty.After being away for a few days, he needs to recheck the number of arrow branches to make sure that they are all available.

Touching the cold arrowhead, brushing the straight bamboo shaft, and pinching the flexible arrow feathers, Liang Xiao's heart slowly calmed down like a lake.The sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, the hurried footsteps of the archers, and the whirring of the torch in his hand came to his ears one by one.

"You two come with me, protect Zheng Fang and Zheng Er." Zhong Liqi's voice sounded.The two archers responded and ran forward following Zhong Liqi.

Liang Xiao smiled.Zhong Liqi was covering for him.From the moment he boarded Huanyuan's boat, he felt Zhong Liqi's dissatisfaction.Zhong Liqi has great martial arts skills, but he is not a man of the city. He is a standard Han, and he will show everything on his face.From the way Zhong Liqi looked at Ye Tianlong, Liang Xiao guessed Ye Tianlong's identity, and then brazenly killed Ye Tianlong.

It took four days for Liang Xiao to get a lot of information from Zhong Liqi, and only then was he confident enough to persuade Zhong Liqi.

The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, Liang Xiao suddenly appeared, opened his bow and fired an arrow, and shot the pursuers five steps away with one arrow, then rushed to a boulder and shouted: "Hey, I'm here!"

The two panting archers raised their heads and looked at Liang Xiao in surprise, the torches in their hands illuminated their sweaty faces.

Liang Xiao is Huan Yuan's eldest disciple, and the story that opening a bow with an empty hand can cause the tent to heave has already taken root in their hearts.Liang Xiao escaped from Zhong Liqi's side, and in just a few words, he shot and killed several people one after another, almost hitting every shot. Every scream from his companions added a layer of fear to their hearts, making them chase after him in the dark. Liang Xiao, it was quite a challenge.

Just when they were worried that Liang Xiao was hiding in the dark, Liang Xiao suddenly stood on a high place and announced his existence loudly.This violated the practice of raiding at night, and they were momentarily at a loss, and even forgot to throw the torches in their hands, and hid their bodies.

Taking advantage of their stunned moment, Liang Xiao fired his bow again, "swish" two arrows, one arrow killed an archer twenty steps away, and the other pierced the thigh of an archer thirty steps away.

At such a distance, he can almost shoot wherever he wants, and he will never miss.

The injured archer screamed, threw away the torch in his hand, and fled forward in a stumbling manner.Like a fierce tiger, Liang Xiao followed behind him unhurriedly, silently but full of murderous intent.

The archer's screams alarmed Zheng Er and the others, and they quickly moved closer together, protecting the Zheng brothers and sisters, covering each other, and rushed over.

The archer with a thigh injury limped to Zheng Fang and Zheng Er, and fell to the ground. "Little Junhou, we...we have been attacked."

"Who?" Zheng Fang was a little flustered. "Who actually attacked us?"

Zheng Er's face was pale, and he hid behind the two archers, looking around with frightened eyes. "How many people are there, are they the Han army?"

"It's Liang Xiao." Zhong Liqi rushed over with three archers, his face sullen. "He ran away."

"Run away? How did you look at it?" Zheng Er called out.

"It's not because of you running around." Zhong Liqi said angrily, "If he doesn't have a quiver, what use is he?"

Zheng Er stared, not knowing how to refute Zhong Liqi.She made mistakes first, and now that something happened, she felt a little guilty, plus she was afraid of Zhong Liqi, at this moment, facing the hateful senior brother Liang Xiao, she still needed Zhong Liqi's protection, and she dared not argue with reason .

"Go!" Zhong Liqi seized the initiative and ordered to retreat immediately.

"Why are you leaving?" Zheng Er suddenly realized. "We can't just let him run away, we have to catch him back."

"You are not his opponent, let's save your life first." Zhong Liqi said without explanation, and ordered eight archers to form an array, assuming a posture of breaking out.Seeing this, Zheng Er became even angrier. "There are only three of them, and there are eleven of us. Are you still afraid of him?"

"Don't talk about eleven people, even if there are a hundred people, you are not his opponent."

Zheng Er was completely irritated.She struggled to break away from Zhong Liqi's arm. "Let go, I want to fight him!"

"Junior Junior Sister, although your archery skills are not very good, your courage is remarkable." Liang Xiao made a voice from a distance, and teased in a playful tone: "Eldest brother likes you very much. Don't leave. Come back to Chang'an with me, and bring water to wash my feet every day..."

"I asked you to bring me a chamber pot every day—" Zheng Er screamed, raising his hand to shoot an arrow.
