"Zhao Chuhai's underling? No, no, if it were someone sent by Zhao Chuhai, they should have recognized me. Besides, he wouldn't have dared to send someone into our territory; could it be someone from the Yingzhou Zhongtunwei? That doesn't seem right either, I heard their main force has been transferred, otherwise Big Brother wouldn't have decided to rob that batch of military rations."
"Ugh, thinking is such a hassle! Why don't I just take action? With my skills, snatching the small bottle and taking down those two wouldn't be difficult at all. But what if they're desperate and try to harm the bottle? That's so annoying!" Iron Wind was silent, his mind racing with various thoughts.
Opposite Zhang Feng saw him not answering and asked again: "Is there only one mountain stronghold in this mountain forest?"
"Yeah" Tie Feng subconsciously replied, but didn't notice his subordinates behind him looking at him helplessly.
Zhang Feng was also speechless when he heard the answer from the opposite side. He asked you so many questions before, but you didn't say a word. Now I'm about to call you a mountain bandit, and your response is quite prompt. This sentence "Is it?" made Zhang Feng not know how to continue.
"Preposterous! You little brat, how dare you quote my words back at me?! I'll kill you!" Iron Wind, finally turning the corner, was furious and shouted loudly to cover up his own mistake.
Zhang Feng was once again defeated by his own logical thinking, wondering if he was of the grandfather's generation or the father's generation. Hmm? No, it doesn't seem right, no matter what, I always seem to be at a disadvantage, Zhang Feng couldn't help but suspiciously glance at the big man in front of him, not knowing whether he was truly foolish or just pretending to be...
"Xiao Wu, what are you dawdling here for? Why haven't you gone to find Bao'er yet?" Just then, a shout came from behind Tie Feng. Xiao Bao's ears perked up and he immediately recognized the voice as his Uncle Wu. "Uncle Wu, I'm over here! Bao'er is here!" Bao'er waved his small arm excitedly, jumping up and down to get Uncle Wu's attention from a distance.
Ding Wu heard the sound of Ping'er and hurried over, just in time to see Zhang Feng holding onto Ping'er's hand standing not far away, while Old Liu still had a tangled expression wanting to pull Zhang Feng away.
Ding Wu was taken aback, wondering who these two strangers were and why Xiao Pingzi was with them. Just as he was about to ask questions, Tie Feng walked up to him and whispered in his ear: "Second brother, when I arrived earlier, Xiao Pingzi was already following that big-faced young man. The old man came later, and they don't seem like ordinary villagers. Moreover, it seems like they know we're mountain bandits, just like Zhao Chuhai's minions and the people from Yingzhou Garrison."
Ding Wu Gan heard him say the three words "Zhao Chu He" and immediately flipped his left arm from behind, pulling out a large bow. His right hand drew two sharp arrows from his waist, which were already on the string, pointing directly at Zhang Feng's and Old Liu's heads.
Xiang saw the newcomer Zhang Gong loading his bow and immediately pulled the small bottle to his own back, and with a reverse hand, he pulled Lao Liu who had been pulling him to the front, using them two to block the bottle. As for whether Lao Liu was willing or not, he couldn't care about that at this moment. (Lao Liu said: I have a sentence "my mother sells..." I don't know if it's suitable to say or not!)
"Who are you?" Ding Wu's hoarse voice rang out, the bowstring in his hand creaking with a faint noise. Although it was not good to kill people in front of this bottle gourd, these two people were suspicious and their intentions unclear. If they were from the Yingzhou Guard, that would be fine; they had already intended to surrender. But if they were sent by Zhao Chuhai, he must take the initiative to strike first.
Ding Wu and Tie Feng both thought of their two sworn enemies, but forgot that a large army was coming to annihilate them. Zhang Fen and the others didn't know what Ding Wu and his companions were thinking, and the two sides confronted each other once again...
An early-rising magpie is searching for food for its own children, although the kids in its nest look a bit strange, after all they are still its own babies, and it's worth the trouble to raise them.
At this moment, the magpie grasped two handfuls of mud and shot them out with force, flying down towards the earthworm in the muddy riverbank. Unfortunately, it was right in the line of sight between Zhang Feng and Ding Wu. Just as she landed, "twang" - the bowstring vibrated, and two arrows flew towards Zhang Feng at the same time.
Ding Wu's action was purely subconscious, the magpie's sudden pecking startled him and he involuntarily loosened his grip. If the person opposite him had no malicious intent, wouldn't that be a case of mistaken injury to an innocent? Reacting quickly, he immediately shouted out to Zhang Feng.
"Be careful!" The words had barely fallen when two arrows arrived in front of Zhang Feng.
As for Zhang Feng, he only felt two cold arrowheads coming from near and far, facing the two sharp arrows, Zhang Feng was slightly panicked, his right hand grasped at the same time as he dodged to the side.
"Thud..." An arrow shot straight into the big tree behind Zhang Feng, the arrowhead deep in the trunk, the tail feathers still quivering.
A drop of fresh blood fell into the river, and a bright red blood stain appeared on Zhang Feng's right cheek. The other arrow was tightly grasped in Zhang Feng's hand.
Lao Liu was stunned, he had a bad feeling when Ding Wu appeared, from the intelligence he knew that there was an archer with excellent marksmanship in the mountain bandit gang, it was this archer who killed a hundred households and a general flag of the Yingzhou camp, and at this moment Ding Wu's bow and arrow made Lao Liu's whole body sweat coldly, with his many years of experience he determined that Ding Wu was indeed the archer.
But these two sudden arrows made him completely unresponsive, the battlefield's intuition was half a beat late, but unexpectedly Zhang Feng dodged one arrow and grabbed another, leaving only a shallow blood mark on his face. Zhang Feng's unexpected performance left it unforeseen.
But what's even more unexpected is that Ding Wu, although he lost an eye which made his archery skills decline, after so many years of hard practice, his current one-eyed archery skills, although still not as accurate as they were in their prime, have regained seven-tenths of their former prowess. If it weren't for his archery skills holding them back at the time, the three of them would have been killed two years ago during that assassination attempt.
"Brother, are you okay? That was definitely an accident. It was that sparrow that startled me. You absolutely must not harm Bottle!" Ding Wu saw that Zhang Feng was unharmed and hastily threw down the bow in his hand, loudly explaining himself, and also told Tie Feng and the others to quickly put down their weapons, fearing it would lead to even more misunderstandings.
And the culprit who triggered everything fluttered back to feed her children.
"Phew..." A deep breath was let out, and the sweat on Zhang Feng's forehead glistened. This time it was absolutely perilous; if he hadn't reacted in time, his life would have been lost.
After hearing what the other person said, Zhang Feng scolded me: "I bought a watch last year and almost lost my life. You just tell me that it's a misunderstanding? Misunderstanding your turtle egg ball!"
He was about to flare up in anger and scold, but was held back by Old Liu. Old Liu saw Ding Wu and others voluntarily dropping their weapons and knew that this was just a misunderstanding. He also stopped Zhang Feng from causing another conflict between the two sides, after all, they were outnumbered.
Zhang Feng was just furious and his brain was about to explode, but being stopped by Old Liu made him disperse a lot of fire. He looked at the group of people opposite him who were suspected mountain bandits, and an idea suddenly came to mind.
"Alright, since you said it was a misunderstanding, then you should at least get some bandages. My face is still bleeding."
"This... did any of you bring medicine?" Ding Wu couldn't help but ask Tie Feng and the others, the surrounding subordinates shook their heads one after another. Tie Feng shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he never carried things, a great man leaving some blood was nothing.
Helpless, Ding Wu could only look at this group of teammates and said to Zhang Feng: "Little brother, we didn't bring any medicine with us, why don't you come with us to the mountain stronghold? There's good medicine there for you to use!"
Zhang Feng was overjoyed. Ding Wu's words were exactly what he wanted to hear. He had been planning to sneak into the mountain stronghold and see if this group of people were indeed a bandit gang.
He immediately touched the still bleeding face, picked up the small bottle and walked towards Ding Wu and others. When he was halfway there, he turned back to Old Liu who was standing in a daze and said: "Old Liu, let's go, don't just stand there, it's just right to go grab some food."
Old Liu looked bewildered and didn't know what to say. Running into Zhang Feng was the most unlucky thing that had happened to him in all his years of being a soldier. He felt helpless inside - what kind of situation was this? Two government soldiers entering the bandits' lair as guests, wasn't this like a sheep entering a tiger's den...
