Book 38 - Chapter 4 – The Anle Tragedy (1/2)
‘Swish!+’
The powerful arrow left the Extinguished Sun Bow, like a streak of lightning it shot toward Xu Ziling, standing five hundred paces away, holding a shi+eld in his hand
‘Dang!’
With an ear-splitting clear ringing noise, both the arrow and the iron shi+eld shattered into pieces at the sa brushed away the debris on his clothes and said with a s that, Ren Jun and Jian Dashi+ were duht that Kou Zhong could shatter an iron shi+eld five hundred paces away Such archery th behind it, could be considered unrivaled in the world
This was the wide archery practice field next to Jian Dashi+’s factory After unearthing the divine bows he buried at the rear court, Jian Dashi+ uished Sun and Perished Moon boere not made of ordinary wood The body of the boas reinforced using special strands of steel wire twisted around it, which not only increased its elasticity, but made it incomparably solid as well The best feature was that it could be folded into three sections, so that it was easy to store The bowstring was -the-heaven skill; no wonder there were people willing to bid a thousand taels of gold for it
Ordinarily, a bow requiring thirty stones of force to pull could already be considered extraordinary The Extinguished Sun and Perished Moon were two-hundred-stone strong bows; those with a bit less strength would not be able to pull Yet Kou Zhong was able to casually pull the bow into a full moon, which already stunned Jian Dashi+
Kou Zhong loved it sowith the divine bow in his hands, he clicked his tongue in wonder and said, “Unexpectedly there is such an a bow in the world; it is really beyond anybody’s expectation”
Xu Ziling walked over toward the three men, “Extremely formidable,” he commented, “If I did not use the power to protect my body, I am afraid I would have been shocked to injury But if I injected my true qi into the shi+eld, the one shattered would be the arrow”
Kou Zhong said, “If I have an endless supply of arrows, even if the opposite side has uard, they would surely suffer a big loss In the desert, on the prairie, coe will be twice as good as the eneuarantee ill be able to kill Shen Mohuan’s Sha Bang, turning them into rivers of blood, in utter defeat”
Jian Dashi+ caentleuished Sun and Perished Moon If two gentlerateful”
Kou Zhong patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly, “Since Dashi+ has this desire, ill definitely give consideration to your wish”
It was as if Jian Dashi+ has become a different person Excited, he said, “You wait here for a , he returned to the factory Kou Zhong handed the Extinguished Sun to Ren Jun and said, “Treasured bow is not easy to find, Xiao Jun, you give it a try”
Ren Jun raised the bow and pulled the string; straining, he pulled only halfway, and already he had to stop since his strength was exhausted The bowstring vibrated back and forth on the bow, creating a buzzing noise
His face turned beet-red, he said in disgrace, “I still do not have the qualifications to use this bow”
Xu Ziling raised his own Perishi+ng Moon Bow and said with a s the bow, you can’t used your arh the whole body, using the strength of the entire body to pull the bow, like this”
Just like Kou Zhong, he effortlessly pulled the bow into a full moon
Ren Jun calmed his qi down, he was quiet for a h, he ht, his qi i out, “Xiaozi benefits fro hoas receptive to their teaching, Kou Zhong cheerfully said, “The only thing you lack right now is soet to Shanhai Pass, youa nice surprise, let him know that it’s a mistake to assume that there is no talent under Da Xiaojie’s co but then hesitated Xu Ziling said, “Whatever it is you wanted to say, youhis head down, Ren Jun said, “Being together with two Ye’er for some time is the happiest moment in Xiao Jun’s life; if two Ye’er bestow permission, Xiao Jun wishes to coain experience, while also serving two Ye’er in everyday life and take care of the horses”
Kou Zhong said, “If we let you co risks outside the Pass, ill only bring harly, in two years your saber technique will achieve small success; besides, Da Xiaojie needs a martial art master like you by her side Trust us! This is your best choice, going to Shanhai Pass is enough for you”
Ren Jun could not hide his disappointment, but he still bent his head and received the instruction, “Xiaozi follows your orders,” he said
This ht and quick, his left and right hands each carried a bulging bag, he said, “These are my specially cast hollow iron bullets, very difficult to aiuys there shouldn’t be any problem Each pouch contains three hundred pieces, they could coh”
Greatly delighted, Kou Zhong picked one bullet frohed aloud and said, “This time there will be a lot of people outside the Great Wall who are going to encounter disaster!”
Xu Ziling folded the Perished Moon Bow and hid it in the pocket inside his robe Clapping his as-eht as well don’t carry any arrows, use the iron bullet to take the enemy, and when the iron bullets are exhausted, we could randomly find so, Kou Zhong said, “Whythe enemy, won’t we have an endless supply of arrows?”
Jian Dashi+ threw his head back and laughed heartily; his extreloo the bows, they returned to the Mansion Xing Wenxiu, Zhuang Gong, and Liu Datian naturally did not expect it Seeing the ghost-axebows, they were evenHe explained the Da Dao She affair to Xing Wenxiu, and asked whether he had a way to scout so and Beiping are escort agencies’ two big stations standing side-by-side left and right of the border fort; they will always stop either here or there Such a big escort agency like Zhong Ye described, you only need to check guest houses and inns, you will io to investigate immediately”
The three took this opportunity to freshen up Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling went to see their two beloved horses to spend so to the small hall in the inner residence to talk
After sitting down, Kou Zhong said, “It looks like our trip outside the Great Wall this time is specifically on an assassination , Hu Yanjin and Han Chao’an, there is also Shen Mohuan, this ”
Xu Ziling said, “Shen Mohuan is ais really the Tujue’s hunting dog, he also must die As for Hu Yanjin and Han Chao’an, whether they are related to the sheepskin robbery, even Da Xiaojie herself is still unclear Wesaid, “Hu Yanjin is Qidan horse thief Just look at Ku Ge! A grandiose son of a king, unexpectedly he went to the Central Earth as a bandit to kill people and rob their belongings The rest can be i said, “Old Ba was also a horse thief; is he a good person or a bad person?”
Scratching his head, Kou Zhong said, “Honestly, until now, I aoodsaid, “I just want to reh we ht to be killed, we should not presumptuously kill the innocents as well To Han people, Hu Yanjin is a horse thief who is wicked beyond redemption, but to his own tribesood things have we, Han people, done for thehisoff from Zhuoxian, their route took them across Qidan, shi+wei, and other places where these outer tribes roae and destruction that they caused? I heard that when the Sui Ar], due to Sui Army wantonly raped and plundered the people, the discipline of the arroup and for Gaoli army in the middle of the city seized the opportunity to strike back, and dealt serious blow to the Sui Ar Guang, it was precisely because Gaoli people’s hatred toward us was as deep as the ocean”
Staring blankly, Kou Zhong said, “You are right I was only thinking of spreading out uished Sun Bow’s formidable power We see the their own people Ay! The ainst each other, must we still speak about cority with them, to elaborate the reasons why they shouldn’t be killed?”
“Don’t overdo it,” Xu Ziling said, “I a out that we should act cautiously andCurrently, it is only because the Central Earth’s nation is in chaos, its poeak – that one after another various outside tribes are striking back at us, Han people This kind of dispute and hatred is not soht In the future, if you becoood relations with outside tribes; everybody live and coexist in peace, then I won’t be worried when you beco dejectedly said, “The e being captured, everybody died except s refused to obey ed to overtakeKou Zhong was puzzled, he said, “Turns out wanting to be the eood dreaive up contending over the world?”
Xu Ziling stared at hih your mood fluctuation is easy to rise and easy to fall, but coursing through your body is aressive blood No matter what blow you receive, you are able to recover very quickly This ti outside the Great Wall, the main purpose is to stealthily learn cavalry battle skill fro Ar that if you don’t catch up urgently, youwiped over the floor on the battlefield”
Kou Zhong’s tiger-eyes shone, he laughed and said, “nobody knows hly of ly Ha! If reat and Li kid is weak, perhaps I would let hi s Wenxiu came back at this time, sat by the two and said, “I found a secret society member who is familiar with Da Dao She’s affair Unexpectedly he did not know about the escort job this tioods this ti city, to keep their route a secret”
