Sword from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 41 A small test of one’s skills
Li Mi and his gang not only make up rumors, but are even addicted to it.

One rumor after another, he made up a story for himself.

Zhou Yi was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

"I don't know what evil they are plotting to divert hatred like this. If it was just for me, they wouldn't have put so much effort into it."

After listening to a few words in the wild shop, he didn't want to stay any longer.

Continue south along the official road.

After walking about two miles, Zhou Yi glanced behind him slightly, and this movement was so subtle that it was impossible to detect.

When we reached the next bend in the mountain, we suddenly broke into a run.

In a blink of an eye, he disappeared on the official road.

"Deng deng deng"

Footsteps came quickly from behind, and they were two vicious men, one tall and one short, with murderous looks on their faces.

They turned the corner and looked towards the official road ahead, but there was no sign of anyone.

"Lost!"

"Damn, this guy is so slippery!"

The tall man frowned and said to the short man holding a pistol next to him, "It's all thanks to you stepping into a puddle and letting him hear me. Otherwise, with my light body skills, how could he have noticed me from such a distance?"

"If the chief asks, you will take the responsibility."

The short man spat, "You fart!"

"I chased that demon from Anlu County all the way to Fule without losing him. In terms of light-weight martial arts, can you match me?"

"It was you who kicked a stone and hit the tree trunk, and he heard it, yet you blame me."

The two of them blamed each other and seemed about to quarrel.

The tall man said, "Stop arguing, just think of it as a mistake."

The short man nodded. "Yes, if the leader asks, just tell him we killed him and threw his body into the sand river."

The two of them made a discussion and turned back.

At the bend of the mountain, a wild peach tree grows on a three-meter-high stone wall. New leaves are blooming layer by layer, and raindrops are sliding down the umbrella-shaped branches.

Just as the two people below turned around!

A white shadow almost formed a line with the falling raindrops, floating down!

The short man heard the noise and reacted very quickly, "Hide!"

He shouted a warning and rolled to the side.

The tall villain suffered from his height and long legs, and was not as agile as his companions.

I felt a tingling sensation on my skin and a pain in the Tianzhu point at the back of my neck!
Finished!

He was so frightened that he didn't even see the face of the attacker.

The two large tendons behind the neck are like pillars supporting the sky. The pillar of sky is right here, and it is the main channel for the upward and downward flow of qi.

The person who attacked him hit the acupoints very accurately. With a flick of his wrist, he became dizzy, groaned, and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"It's really you!"

The short man rolled over, shocked and angry, and thrust his spear forward while shouting.

Zhou Yi turned around to avoid the tip of the gun and quickly attacked the Yangchi point on the opponent's wrist.

This time it was quick and urgent, and it hit the target directly!
The pistol fell out of his hand!

The short man was an experienced fighter, and he anticipated that the gun would fall from his right hand.

He formed a claw with his left hand, grasped the gun handle horizontally, and stabbed it towards the opponent's chest!

But I saw the other person point his toes, a white shadow flashed in front of my eyes, and I felt my shoulder being hit sideways.

The strong wind brought by the pistol tore through the rain curtain, but it was strangely deflected when it touched the opponent's clothes.

He felt a chill in his heart, he didn't expect the other party to be so difficult!
Zhou Yi took advantage of this opportunity to leap and went around behind him.

He gripped the spear head with his right hand into a claw, and used the force of the dwarf's forward thrust to suddenly turn around!

The left knee hit his waist like a crane's leg, and the short man felt pain, and the pistol in his hand was instantly snatched away.

There was no room for resistance anymore. The tip of the gun was already against his throat, leaving a bloody hole.

Blood gushed out!

“Slow, slow!”

The short man called out for mercy: "Please spare my life, dear man. We are all in the underworld. Today I am in trouble. I am willing to pay money to buy my life."

Zhou Yi said, "How much gold and silver do you have? How much is your life worth?"

Seeing that he didn't make a move, the short man thought there was room for negotiation, so he quickly said, "Life is everything, and money is naturally all your wealth."

"I've been wandering the world for many years and made a fortune, but now it all belongs to you."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to save your life," Zhou Yi pointed at the tall man on the ground, "Your companion is just unconscious and can be awakened at any time."

"Now I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them. I'll wake him up later. If you both give the same answer, your money will be mine, and I don't care about your life either."

"If you dare to lie to me, I will take your life, and I don't care about your gold and silver either."

The short man swallowed and said, "Go ahead and ask me. If I tell you a lie, you can just kill me." "Who are you and why are you following me?"

The short man immediately said, "We are the boss's men. I saw you opening your umbrella outside the tea stall just now."

"We weren't sure we could catch you, so we sent out a carrier pigeon and followed you all the way."

"What do you mean, Boss Xiang? Explain it clearly." Zhou Yi said with a bad look on his face.

The short man complained in his heart that he was ignorant, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, "The Xiang boss is Xiang Batian."

It turned out to be the four great bandits.

Xiang Batian is one of them, and he is known as the one where no grass grows.

This man is good at using the deadly tooth ring. If the top strong men in the world meet him, they will die if they are not careful.

"Have you seen me in the inn in Fule City?"

"Yes."

The short man said honestly: "At that time, we were hunted by the Yingyangfu Army, and several leaders died. The leader Cao had already ordered that you must be killed. Because we later thought about it and found out that day..."

"What was that day?"

The short man was furious: "I fell for your trick that day. You and that Taoist Mu are clearly in cahoots."

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Yi was delighted. "The four bandits aren't four idiots. They have some brains."

"Just you two, where are the others?"

The short man said, "He's in a nearby market town and hasn't arrived yet."

"By the way, who does your boss Cao want to kill by name?"

"Zhou Guanchao."

This was a pseudonym Zhou Yi used casually at the time.

Seeing Zhou Yi was lost in thought, he quickly said, "Everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, you can wake him up."

"Okay, I'll ask right now."

Zhou Yi took the tip of the gun away from his throat and pretended to turn around to wake up the tall man.

The dwarf's mouth twitched slightly.

The moment Zhou Yi turned around, he reached out to touch his trouser leg.

“Ugh~!!”

At this moment, there was a scream. It turned out that Zhou Yi threw the pistol with his backhand, piercing him through the heart.

"You~~!"

The short man tilted his body and fell headfirst.

He didn't even pull the knife out of his trouser leg, let alone stab him in the back.

Zhou Yi took the knife that the short man was about to pull out and stabbed the tall man with his backhand.

After searching the two men, I found that they were extremely poor and had no secrets. They only had a few colorful bellybands.

Two bastards!

Thinking of what the two bandits had said before, he threw them into a ravine beside the road.

When a flash flood occurs, they will be washed into the river.

See who throws whom into the sand river.

These two are actually not weak, especially the short one with the gun.

However, Zhou Yi is no longer the same as before.

His experience in fighting with the people in the martial arts world far exceeds that of the time in Fuzi Mountain.

At that time, there was a subordinate of King Liang named Kuang Hui, who almost seriously injured him with his two swords.

Now these two thieves are both better than Kuang Hui, and they can be easily captured.

Zhou Yi was already very satisfied, after all, he had only been practicing martial arts for a short time.

In fact, after practicing with these two thieves, I felt a sense of confidence in my heart.

With my current skills, and the trump card of the circulation of pulse energy and true energy, if Lao Ma comes again, I will probably be able to fight him fiercely.

Although Lao Ma is only the leader of a small sect, his level is nothing compared to this underworld full of monsters and demons.

But as long as you keep a low profile, you can still protect yourself.

Because of this, Zhou Yi felt less panicked when he heard the short man talking about sending messages by carrier pigeon...
