Chapter 127: The Arrow Leaving the String
Chen Shiyi thought for a while and then said.
"That's possible. The government soldiers are only responsible for suppressing bandits. If Pei Luoshu's life is in danger, they can't do their best to save him, right?"
The county lieutenant said.
"We will definitely save them. After all, they are officials appointed by the imperial court. But it is probably impossible to ask them to sacrifice their lives in exchange for their lives."
Chen Shiyi asked with a smile.
"Sir, I saw your skill just now. If I say that with your speed, can my arrow shoot down and kill the bandits?"
The county lieutenant was truly shocked. He looked Chen Shiyi up and down. He never expected that this thin and petite girl had such abilities.
"Of course I can."
The gangsters in Wan Kei Shan are indeed difficult to wipe out.
But if there is an insider, it will be twice as effective with half the effort.
Why did Pei Luoshu choose to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits on the day Yang Zhengsheng agreed to help? People's hearts have changed, so it is better to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
It was drizzling, the forest was misty and dark, and the smell of soil was thick and sticky. It was not a good day for traveling, but it was a good day for killing enemies.
Pei Luoshu borrowed elite troops from the city, and with the detailed map given by Yang Zhengsheng, Jiang Weiyin led the troops in front to avoid the important fortresses of the bandits.
He also had an important bargaining chip.
That day, the person who gave him the dart and delivered the message was the second in command of Wanqishan.
Of course, the words of the bandits cannot be fully trusted.
However, Pei Luoshu could trust him completely.
The county magistrate who was hanged at the entrance of the county government office was his mentor.
Once a teacher, always a father.
So, he joined the bandits and kept silent, just for the day when he could kill these bandits with his own hands.
Pei Luoshu stood quietly in the dark, looking at the foggy forest in front of him with cold eyes.
The right time, the right place, the right people…
All three are in place.
He believed that if he failed to successfully eliminate the bandits this time, he would never have another chance in the future.
On Wan Qi Mountain, the sounds of fighting in the woods became more and more intense. On the top of the mountain not far away, dark blue smoke rolled up, which was very thick.
This time, the palace soldiers were divided into three groups, one group guarding the south gate, one group guarding the north, and the remaining half of the palace soldiers followed Jiang Weiyin's route and directly attacked their headquarters.
Fu Feng was holding an umbrella for Pei Luoshu.
The water drops falling from the umbrella's tail, that icy and crystal clear, slowly fell in the inky forest, without a sound, unlike the green smoke, which was so wild.
But what finally extinguished the green smoke were the gathered raindrops.
Therefore, when one has done all the evil things, that tiny, seemingly insignificant thing can instantly take the life of the evildoer.
Pei Luoshu lightly raised his right hand, and the wind blew violently, causing his clothes to flutter.
Just like that, the hand swung downwards firmly, and behind it, the palace soldiers in black iron armor rushed straight towards the green smoke.
The suppression operation took a very short time, and with the help of internal and external forces, most of the bandits were captured, but a small number still escaped.
Pei Luoshu and a group of elite soldiers are searching for the fish that have escaped the net.
This is very difficult and dangerous.
Moreover, according to reports from spies, there are still more than 20 people in the county town, and it is unknown what they are searching for.
Pei Luoshu was extremely panicked when he heard the news, but then he remembered that the county lieutenant was by Eleven's side, and all the county guards were guarding her, so everything should be fine.
But he still couldn't stop worrying, and just wanted to kill the bandits as soon as possible and go back to see her.
In front of us is a narrow valley with dense forests on both sides.
If it was him, this would definitely be a good hiding place.
At the same time, this is also a good place to kill.
Drops of drizzle fell on the cold blade, creating splashes of water.
The palace soldiers following Pei Luoshu all held their breath. At this moment, the entire canyon was devoid of birds and beasts, and it was silent. No one dared to act rashly.
Whoosh, whoosh…
In a moment, several feather arrows pierced towards them at high speed from the depths of the dark forest.
Pei Luoshu turned slightly to the side, and the silver arrow grazed his cheek, causing a few strands of his black hair to fly.
Then, arrows rained down like rain.
Pei Luoshu held a sword in his hand and nimbly blocked a large number of flying arrows, then found a big tree to cover his body.
Unexpectedly, a cold arrow came from the side and hit Pei Luoshu in the face.
At the critical moment, an arrow flew up from behind like a falcon in the sky and knocked the sudden arrow to the ground.
Pei Luoshu looked back.
Fifty steps away, on the mossy rock, stood a thin figure, his blue clothes fluttering, his waist-length black hair flying in all directions, he held a silver bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, his palms steady and powerful, as soon as he loosened his right hand, the long arrow shot into the cold forest like a meteor, followed by a startled scream.
"The girl is mighty."
The county lieutenant was generous in his praise.
"Girl, just shoot, I'll take care of the rest."
The county lieutenant was delighted and thought it would be nice to help the girl.
"The one lying on the top of the mountain on the left has a little bit of its head sticking out. Can you see it?"
After Chen Shiyi heard this, he narrowed his left eye, loosened his right hand, and the person in the distance fell to the ground instantly.
"There is a piece of grey clothing on the tree. He shot the bow at you, my Lord."
"Also, there's something hiding behind that rock."
"Fuck him."
…
Chen Shiyi thought that this county lieutenant's calm demeanor was like being thrown off the cliff of Wanqi Mountain and could never be retrieved.
She was quick to draw the arrow from her back and even quicker to nock it.
With the cooperation of the county lieutenant, he shot and killed five people in a single breath.
Pei Luoshu was really shocked that she was so good at using the bow and arrow!
She has changed so much over the years.
With Chen Shiyi's bow and arrow, the bandits hiding in the dark immediately lost their chance of survival, and a large number of soldiers rushed towards the mountain.
"A Luo..."
Pei Luoshu heard Chen Shiyi calling him from the mossy rock. Seeing that the crisis around him was resolved, he hurried towards her.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shiyi's frail body suddenly fell backwards.
"eleven…"
Pei Luoshu was so frightened that his voice changed.
"I'm fine. I'm fine."
Chen Shiyi came out from behind the rocks, accidentally slipped down from the rocks, and now has sprained his foot.
She walked out slowly, stepped on a stone and stumbled, her knees bent and she almost fell to her knees.
Pei Luoshu rushed to her at lightning speed, bent his knees slightly, and let Chen Shiyi fall into his arms.
He held her tightly.
The moment she fell from the rocks just now, he almost collapsed.
Chen Shiyi patted his shoulder.
"A Luo, I'm fine."
Pei Luoshu hugged her even tighter, refusing to let go.
Fu Feng behind him advised.
"Sir, we are still fighting the bandits. I'll hug you when we get back to the county..."
Pei Luoshu then let go of Chen Shiyi, his eyes red.
He stood up and picked up Chen Shiyiheng. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and saw the county lieutenant, his face frightened.
"You are closest to her, why don't you catch her?"
The county lieutenant curled his lips.
"I won't accept it. If I accept it, you will definitely make things difficult for me. Then, will I be able to be a county lieutenant or not?"
Pei Luoshu's eyes turned cold.
"I haven't asked you to pay for bringing her here yet. Be careful later."
The county lieutenant was immediately frightened and smiled flatteringly.
"Sir, sir, I think the girl has superb skills, it would be a pity if she didn't kill a few bandits. Besides, the county town is not safe, it is better to come here."
