As he spoke, Wang Dadao looked back at the hill where Shi Jian was hiding with a look of panic, his heart in his throat.
He betrayed Shi Jian right in front of him, and he felt both scared and excited.
He was the first soldier in the entire Xiliang Kingdom who did not give Shi Jian face.
This cannot be blamed on him. If he continues to follow Shi Jian, he probably won't survive for a few more days.
Every time something life-threatening happened, Shi Jian would push him out. No matter how lucky he was, he couldn't stand this kind of torture over and over again.
Cong Chongqiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the small hill in the distance. He looked at the head shaking behind the hill and sneered.
Do you think he can't see you because you're too far away?
hey-hey!!
I have a magic weapon that can see far away.
Cong Chongqiu curled his lips, picked up the telescope hanging around his neck, and looked towards the hill.
There were seven horses hiding behind the hill, and seven heads occasionally popping out to look towards the city gate.
The seven horses were barely hidden, but the seven men were quite well hidden.
And the person who peeks over is not the same person every time.
Cong Chongqiu looked for the seventh time before he saw Shi Jian stretching his neck and looking towards the city gate.
“Sneaky!!”
Cong Chongqiu sneered and stretched out his hand towards the city gate guard beside him.
"Bring the crossbow."
Judging from the distance from the hill to the city gate tower, it is still within the range of crossbows.
If it were the crossbows and bows of the Western Liang Kingdom, they would definitely not be able to hit Shi Jian.
At a distance of two or three hundred meters, even the best crossbows of Xiliang Kingdom could not reach it.
However, the crossbow in his hand was not the junk from Xiliang Kingdom.
If you use all your strength, shooting three or four hundred meters will be no problem at all.
When Wang Dadao turned around and saw General Cong suddenly holding a crossbow in his hand, he was so scared that he almost fell off his horse.
He opened his eyes wide in fear, and his mouth trembled non-stop.
"General Cong, please spare my life, please spare my life..."
"I sincerely surrender to General Cong. I beg you to give me a chance~~~"
"Woo woo~~"
Wang Dadao couldn't help crying and wailing, "I have a 60-year-old mother above me, three younger brothers and two or three younger sisters below me, I can't die."
"I haven't married yet, woooo~~"
"I....."
"Shut up!" Cong Chongqiu couldn't help but frowning when he heard Wang Dadao's noisy crying.
He stared at the hill through the telescope, waiting to kill Shi Jian as soon as he showed his head, and didn't even look at Wang Dadao.
Now the fourth head has popped up, and it will soon be Shi Jian's turn. He is very excited.
There is not a single good person in the Shi family. They have harmed so many soldiers. Shi Jian should have gone to the underworld to apologize to those soldiers long ago.
Wang Dadao was choked and stared at Cong Chongqiu with watery eyes.
When he saw that General Cong's crossbow was pointing towards the hill, his heart skipped a beat.
Thinking of the scene where Shi Jian was shot in the head by an arrow, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
But... at such a long distance, the crossbow arrow can't reach at all.
Wang Dadao looked worriedly at the crossbow in Cong Chongqiu's hand, then glanced at the strange thing blocking Cong Chongqiu's way, frowning tightly.
He wanted to help General Cong trick Shi Jian over, but he wasn't even 10% sure.
Shi Jian was a man who valued his life too much. As soon as he opened his mouth, Shi Jian would probably become suspicious and kill him directly.
Anyway, his life doesn't count at all in Shi Jian's eyes.
Wang Dadao took a deep breath, looked at the brand new crossbow in Cong Chongqiu's hand, and prayed silently in his heart that General Cong could hit the target with one shot.
Even if it didn't hit Shi Jian, it would still scare him away.
"Seven..." After seeing the sixth head go down, Cong Chongqiu curled his lips and counted to seven, then shot an arrow towards the place where Shi Jian's head appeared.
With a "whoosh" sound.
The sharp crossbow arrow rushed towards the hill quickly.
Wang Dadao covered his heart with both hands, stared excitedly towards the direction of the hill with wide eyes.
"What did you see?" Shi Jian frowned and looked at the guard who had just stuck his head out.
The guard frowned and said, "I saw Wang Dadao negotiating with the people on the city gate tower."
Shi Jian's lips trembled, and he almost rolled his eyes in anger, "Did you see clearly who is on the city gate tower?"
How could he have such a bunch of useless people talking nonsense?
Wang Dadao went to negotiate, so he didn't need them to tell him.
What he wanted to know now was who was the person who came to the city gate tower to negotiate with Wang Dadao.
The guard shook his head. "That person seems to be wearing a black mask on his face. I can't see his appearance clearly."
Shi Jian glanced at the guard and took a deep breath.
Forget it, let him see for himself. These guards’ eyesight is not very good.
Shi Jian turned his head to look at the hillock, pressed the hillock with both hands, and slowly moved his head up.
Before he could even stick his head out of the hill, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and was extremely anxious.
Shi Jian frowned and paused his head as he looked up.
Why did he have a bad feeling?
Listening carefully, I could hear the northwest wind blowing all around, and no sound of footsteps or horse hooves could be heard.
Shi Jian pursed his cracked lips, hesitated for a moment, and continued to look towards the city gate tower.
Just as his head poked out a little from the hill, an arrow quickly pierced his head.
Shi Jian's mind went blank and his eyes rolled back.
"Great General!!"
When the guards heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, they hurried to pull Shi Jian.
Before his hand touched Shi Jian, he saw Shi Jian fall to the ground with a bang.
Seeing an arrow stuck in Shi Jian's head, the guards widened their eyes in shock, and no one dared to step forward to help him for a long time.
The guard beside Shi Jian was the first to come to his senses. He took a deep breath and picked up Shi Jian, who was lying on his side, with trembling hands.
"Alive, alive!! Not dead!!"
The guard looked at the arrow on Shi Jian's forehead and shouted in surprise,
"The arrow didn't penetrate the general's head, it just lodged in his scalp."
When the stunned guards heard this, they all immediately gathered around.
Several people took a closer look and felt Shi Jian's pulse, confirming that Shi Jian had just fainted from fright and was not dead.
However, the arrow that shot into Shi Jian's scalp made them a little embarrassed.
Although the arrow did not penetrate his head, it peeled off a layer of his scalp. Shi Jian's head was covered in blood, which looked quite scary.
If they pulled out the arrow directly, Shi Jian's scalp, which was pierced by the arrow, would definitely be completely stretched.
But if we don't pull it out, will the general be left with such an arrow on his head?
The guards looked at each other, and one of them frowned.
"Wake up the general first. The rest of you take turns watching the city gate. If anyone comes, we must escape quickly."
As he spoke, the guard reached out and pinched Shi Jian's philtrum.
