After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 66
Although Fei Xiong had great strength, he still felt strenuous after a long time, and his movement of waving the copper shrub slowly slowed down.

Gao Li couldn't sit still anymore. These public disciples had good eyesight, and they could clearly see the changes in the offensive and defensive momentum on the field.

"My lord, if two tigers fight, they will be wounded. How about a tie?"

All the sons looked sideways, the Gao family is also a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the sons of this generation behaved so unbearably.

In fact, Gao Li also had a lot of hardships. He grew up away from Linzi, and after he came back, he behaved a little perversely, so he felt that he was not welcomed by the princes.

This time, he managed to get a warrior from his elder brother who was a general in the army. He wanted to take this opportunity to show off. If he accidentally got hurt, he didn't know how to explain it.

Guoyuan was in a bit of a dilemma. During the martial arts, even the person in charge couldn't intervene casually, otherwise it would ruin Guo's reputation if it spread.

While hesitating, another change occurred on the field.

Taking advantage of Fei Xiong's impatience, Liu Xiazhi pretended to stagger, revealing obvious flaws.

Fei Xiong swung the copper for a long time, but his strength had already run out, and when he was impatient, he really hit the trick, and he used all his strength to pounce.

Liu Xiazhi had expected it a long time ago, so he dodged lightly, taking advantage of the time when the opponent's moves were exhausted, he rubbed his body, and the point of the sword hit Fei Xiong's throat.

Fei Xiong froze suddenly, gasping for breath, his eyes were fierce but he didn't dare to move again.

The whole audience was silent, and then burst into applause. Seeing Fei Xiong's cruelty, the crowd felt a sense of sympathy for the enemy, and seeing Liu Xiazhi defeat the strong with the weak, they were as happy as if they were victorious.

Guoyuan thumped the bronze bell on the case, announcing that Liu Xiazhi had won. Gao Li stood up angrily, and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves.

Liu Xiazhi retracted his sword, turned around, bowed his hands in the direction of Guoyuan, and Guoyuan also smiled.

According to the rules, it would take another nine victories or an hour without a challenge before they could end, but everyone knew in their hearts that anyone as ferocious as Fei Xiong would be defeated by his sword, and no one should be overconfident anymore.

Liu Xiazhi thought the same way, so he raised his hand casually and arched his surroundings, which caused another burst of applause.

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering roar from behind, Liu Xiazhi was in a bad mood, before he could turn around, there was already a violent wind above his head.

Everyone screamed, Liu Xiazhi clearly saw the look of panic in their eyes, but it was too late.

"My life is over!" Liu Xiazhi secretly scolded himself for getting carried away, and he closed his eyes helplessly. It is estimated that it would be difficult to keep the whole body when he was hit with such force.

A white light flashed, and there was a roar, and Fei Xiong shot a bloody arrow from his neck, then fell down with a crash, and the copper tree also hit the ground beside him heavily.

what happened?Everyone was stunned, not knowing why, a few sharp-eyed people looked everywhere for the source of the white light just now.

Liu Xiazhi was the quickest to react, ran to pick up the feather arrow on the ground, wiped it clean with his sleeve, sent it to Meng Di, knelt down on the ground, and said in shame: "Zhi is incompetent, let the Lord bother you."

You young masters were also confused at first, and only after seeing this did they realize that Fei Xiong had been shot.

"What a fast arrow!" Someone exclaimed. Everyone has been archery since elementary school, so they naturally know how difficult it is to shoot such a high-speed arrow.

Gao Li stood stunned, as if he hadn't figured out the situation yet.Fei Xiong was the most valiant and loyal general under his elder brother's command. He begged for a long time to borrow it, but he was killed here. He didn't know how to explain it to his elder brother.

Until Guoyuan reminded: "Does Mr. Gao want to take away the corpses of his subordinates for burial?"

"Take it away? No, I want to take the murderer away!" Gao Li reacted and said viciously.

A group of guards in bright armor came to disperse the onlookers and surrounded Meng Di and others.

"You were the one who shot Fei Xiong?" Gao Li stood in front of Mengdi and asked through gritted teeth.

"Not bad." Meng Di said calmly while still holding the sun shooting bow.

"Okay, okay, you dare to kill people in front of me, take it down for me!"

"Who dares!" Liu Xiazhi jumped up, holding his sword in front of him.

"Hmph." Gao Li sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the armored soldier approached step by step with a spear in his hand.

Meng Di and Su Er looked at each other, with the martial arts skills of the three of them, it is not difficult to escape, but if they fight hard, this trip to Qi will be in vain.

Liu Xiazhi also understood this point, he was very annoyed, Heng Jian glared at Gao Li.

"Wait a minute" Guoyuan strode over, with an angry look on his face, "Master Gao, don't act rashly!"

Gao Li pretended not to hear, and ordered the soldiers to act quickly.

Guoyuan was furious, and the soldiers surrounded him. Gaoli's guards were at a loss, and turned around to face each other.

"Guoyuan, your family and I have been friends for generations, why bother standing up for someone who has nothing to do with you?"

"Since I know you and my two families are on good terms, today's Wujue is my job, why do you want to disrupt the situation?" Guoyuan said to himself, suppressing his anger.

"This person shot and killed Fei Xiong, he should die!"

"Fei Xiong sneaked up on him from behind, he should be punished. If you continue to be willful, don't blame me for going back and telling Uncle Gao."

The young masters arrived and hurriedly persuaded him, nothing more than to not hurt their peace because of trivial matters.

Seeing the calm expressions of Meng Di and the other three, Gao Li felt that everyone's persuasion was particularly harsh, and said with a very angry smile: "Well, well, you have Mr. Guo's backing you today, we will settle this account later."

After all, leave with a grudge.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Gao Li was just the eldest son of the Gao clan, and there were several older brothers in front of him, their status was far inferior to Guoyuan's status as the eldest son of the first direct son, it was unwise to act like this.

Guoyuan smiled wryly, cupped his hands to the three of them and said, "Young Master Gao is still a child at heart, I'm just joking with you, please don't take it to heart."

Originally, he only valued Liu Xiazhi's skill, but after seeing Mengdi's swift arrow, he became more interested in wooing him.After the ceremony, introduce all the princes around you one by one.

There are many clans in the state of Qi. In addition to the Guo clan and the Gao clan, which are all in power, there are also the Tian clan, Bao clan, Cui clan, Qing clan, Yan clan, Gao clan and other noble families. Among them, the Tian clan is the strongest, and the Bao's has always followed Tian's lead.

Today's martial arts, although the Guo family is the main one, the younger generations of all the families also come to watch. After the Guo family chooses, there are warriors they like to call.

At this point, there is no need for the martial arts to continue. Guoyuan announced that Liu Xiazhi will be the leader of this martial arts. Anyone who passes the test of a thousand catties of strength can choose one of the families present to join.

The onlookers also dispersed, discussing as they walked, this year's martial arts competition was really exciting, with twists and turns, enough to be used as a topic of conversation after dinner and wine.

"Please also invite the three of you to come to the mansion for a talk." Guoyuan said politely to Meng Di after arranging everything.

Before Mengdi spoke, Su'er groaned softly in her ear, she always suspected that it was the Guo and Gao families who killed her father, so she would not go to the enemy's house.

Meng Di slightly apologized and said: "We still have companions in the city, why don't we come to visit another day."

Guoyuan was quite surprised, and persuaded: "You have offended Gao Li, I'm afraid it will be very inconvenient in the city."

"Linzi city has its own kingly law, so can Mr. Gao harm us at will?"

Guoyuan changed his mind and didn't force it, instead he invited the three of them into the city together.

Meng Di knew that this was a different way to give the three of them a talisman. As long as he showed up in the city, he would tell everyone that he was a guest of the Guo family, and he didn't realize that he had a little bit of respect for Guo Yuangao.
