Chapter 267 A man returns favor with a sword

Li Shenxian stared blankly at the smiling young man in front of him, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

He stood up in a hurry, spat on the ground angrily, and said hatefully: "Damn it! When the brothers were hanging out in Bazhou, they were often criticized by the rich and powerful, but they didn't expect to come to Gouchen Courtyard. Such a new stove can still not escape the shameful fate of being a stepping stone for others!"

As soon as these words came out, the hundreds of crossbowmen around them all showed angry expressions, and they all shouted: "Since everything is the same everywhere, it is better to go back to Bazhou than leaving home and business behind!"

"That's right, it's better to go home and live with your parents and my wife!"

In the midst of the commotion, Li Shenxian just listened silently, with an uncertain expression on his face.

This man with a sinewy face, wolf-like waist and ape-like arms just claimed to be Bazhou Ji's surname Li. He also has a family's unique skills. He is obviously from a wealthy family. However, he is dismissive of the so-called aristocratic dignitaries. He also has a sense of being a son of an aristocratic family. Rare gangster spirit.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was able to win the heartfelt support of a hundred Bazhou crossbowmen, and a few words could make them filled with indignation and clamor.

After letting the soldiers vent their grievances, Li Shenxian suddenly waved his hand and shouted sternly: "That's enough!"

As a result, Lin Zhong immediately became quiet again, and everyone's eyes fell on his rather fierce face.

Qi Jingzhi just looked at Li Shenxian quietly from beginning to end, as if he were looking at an old monkey king in the mountains who was eager to consolidate his authority and protect his territory.

From the young man's point of view, Li Shenxian's words and deeds just now were announcing to the young battalion of the Zuowu Army Governor's Mansion that among the hundred Bazhou crossbowmen present, he was the only one recognized by Li Shenxian!It would be a dream to make Li Shenxian and his brothers obey orders with just a token and a small flag!
Sure enough, Li Shenxian was seen staring at Qi Jingzhi, gritted his teeth and sneered: "I fell down from the tree just now, was it because of your kid's plot?"

As soon as these words came out, the crossbowmen once again became excited. Although they did not dare to curse out loud because of Li Shenxian's power, they used a knife-like gaze to dig into the young man's body, as if as long as this matter was fulfilled, The young man will be cut into pieces immediately.

Qi Jingzhi seemed unaware and just smiled casually: "Yes! Although I am sure to catch Brother Li's second arrow, there is no guarantee that I will not be injured. We have no enmity before, and we will most likely be colleagues in the future. There is really no reason to do so. Fight to the death."

"Ok?"

Li Shenxian was very surprised. He obviously didn't expect Qi Jingzhi to admit it so straightforwardly, and the arrogance he had accumulated earlier was eliminated a lot: "You are sincere!"

There are always some people in this world who seem extremely difficult to get along with at first glance, but if they really have the right temper, they are easier to talk to than most people.

Li Shenxian is this kind of person.

He furrowed his brows and was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I, Lao Li, don't hide it either. Even if you didn't plot against me just now, I would be really exhausted after I shoot one more arrow."

He raised his head suddenly, and his tiger eyes not only looked at you, but also contained something else: "Linzhou Qi family...are you a clan member?"

Qi Jingzhi naturally shook his head and denied: "Before I practiced cultivation, I was a hunter in the mountains, barely making ends meet."

"Orion?"

Hearing these two words, Li Shenxian's brows relaxed a little: "My Bazhou Li family, together with a hundred brothers here, are mostly hunters in the mountains!"

He looked the young man up and down, as if judging the authenticity of his words: "How many stone bows can Brother Qi shoot?"

Qi Jingzhi gave a startled smile: "I only occasionally use my grandfather's homemade soft bow. I usually rely on traps for hunting. By the way, one time I even used a net cage to catch a red fox stealing bait. It turned out to be a living creature. He is intelligent, but it’s a pity that he can’t speak…”

Now the boy was gesticulating, recounting the strange things he had encountered, such as the fox sawing the tree and the tiger losing its skin, how to set a trap, how to kill the fox and skin it, how to be frightened on the top of the tree, how to wait for dawn to come down the tree to pursue, and how to How to run into a tiger spirit, how to win and kill...

He didn't mention the tiger spirit at all, and only talked about the rest of his experience. It was really interesting and detailed. It made the crossbowmen feel like they were immersed in the scene, sometimes laughing, sometimes exclaiming, and by the way Most of the hostility towards the young man has dissipated, and I admire him for not giving up on Lao Mandrill and resolutely stepping forward to fight for his life.

The grudges, likes and dislikes among the fighting men in the army are so clear.

Li Shenxian's expression softened obviously. He raised his hand and patted Qi Jingzhi's shoulder, praising: "Brother Qi is very skilled and loyal. Being just a battalion captain is really an indignity."

In just a short time, the man's name for the young man quietly changed from "your boy" to "Brother Qi".

Qi Jingzhi laughed: "Compared with Brother Li, I am only slightly better. I am a talentless person as a battalion captain. Brother Li must have felt the same way?"

The words "slightly better" were really harsh. The flesh on Li Shenxian's face twitched, and he struck again without hesitation, hitting the young man's shoulder hard one after another, making the armor plate there clang. .

Qi Jingzhi calmly took half a step back with his right foot, and then managed to stabilize his body.

He quickly changed the subject: "Brother Li just said that he recognized the wrong person. I wonder who the brothers were ambushing here. Who were they originally trying to deal with?"

Who knew it would be a good thing not to ask? When he asked, the rough guys around him burst into laughter.

Li Shenxian grinned, and the flesh on his face bulged: "Of course, I am going to ambush whoever I encounter!"

"Brothers Qi have just arrived and are not aware of the current situation in Gouchen Courtyard. In the past few days, soldiers from various prefectures and counties in Da Qi have been ordered to come. Everyone does not belong to each other, and they are used to running rampant in the local area. Naturally, No one is convinced by anyone, and they compete with each other or fight fiercely all day long, and they have to score points to show off."

"I, Lao Li, am not a talented person. I am lucky enough to have gained some prestige. I and a few other tough guys couldn't help each other, so we discussed taking shifts every day to give the newly arrived assassins a kick in the ass, so as not to disturb the restless young ones. No one can be at peace."

"Today is our turn of one hundred Bazhou crossbowmen. Unexpectedly, we met Brother Qi. We really don't know each other until we fight!"

Qi Jingzhi nodded. What the other party said was very disappointing at first glance. It was purely because he was full. However, this is not the case in the army. The one with the biggest fist is always respected.

Thinking of this, he casually glanced at Li Shenxian's waist, but did not see Gouchen Yuan's token. "Your Majesty kept these arrogant and capable generals in Gouchen Court without paying any attention to them, let alone granted them military positions. Could it be that you wanted them to decide among themselves first? No wonder Li Shenxian saw the token and Zuowu banner just now. , so angry that I couldn’t hold back my temper and complained.”

"In this case, anyone who sees this token of mine and knows that I have already appointed a battalion captain position in the Governor's Mansion of the Zuowu Army will regard me as an enemy and wish to kill him as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi smiled even more kindly.

He turned back and pointed at Bannu's Zuowu banner, and wrote lightly: "That day, my mount accidentally got a Zuowu banner. Da Sima happened to be present. He regarded it as an auspicious omen and immediately decided to set up the Zuowu Army Governor's Palace. This matter is nothing. It's just a coincidence, it actually has nothing to do with my little brother."

Unexpectedly, when Li Shenxian heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn: "So it's a gift from heaven? No wonder Brother Qi was able to win the favor of the Grand Sima and be awarded an official position before us common mortals!"

Once he got the right look, this man's perception of Qi Jingzhi took a complete turn.

In his opinion at this time, the young man in front of him was worthy of befriending just because of his cultivation and temperament, not to mention that he was obviously very close to Da Sima. This meant that not only could he not offend him, but he had to make great efforts to make good friends with him, especially when he was alone today. Come, it’s the time when you need help the most. It’s really a God-sent opportunity!Otherwise, when will their hundred Bazhou crossbowmen, whom grandma does not know and uncles do not love, come forward?
"Oh, Brother Li is so flattering that I don't deserve the respect!"

Qi Jingzhi waved his hand quickly, and suddenly a four-edged black-feathered arrow fell out of his sleeve.

"Oh!"

The young man exclaimed, quickly bent down and took the feather arrow in his hand, then smiled at Li Shenxian, whose eyes were burning, and said, "I almost forgot about this!"

He came closer to the other party and used his spiritual energy to restrain his words into a line: "Brother Li, the good teacher, learned that this feather arrow was obtained by Jingzhi by refining Meizhou General Sha. As the saying goes, the feeling of pity for a son and the pain of losing a son are so obvious. It refers to the fate of a person, and he is happy to see an early death... Holding this arrow and calling someone's name to shoot someone can mess up the mind and take away the life expectancy!"

Having said that, the young man couldn't help but put General Sha Yu's arrow into Li Shenxian's hand, and he did not forget to loudly proclaim: "Brother Li's amazing shot is rare in the world. This magical arrow should belong to Brother Li!"

When he looked at Li Shenxian again, the man from Bazhou was dumbfounded and did not hide the shock in his heart.Anyone who saw his appearance at this moment would realize how extraordinary that so-called divine arrow was.

Qi Jingzhi smiled lightly and said with some embarrassment: "There is just one thing. Because of my refining technique, this arrow should not be effective on me, and if it is too far away from me, its effect will be ineffective." It may be greatly reduced, or even become useless and dead.”

The reason why he said this was because Gao Tianzhang's spirituality was restrained by the Mysterious Mirror of Heaven and Earth, and it was absolutely impossible to turn against him, the master of the Mysterious Mirror of Heaven and Earth, and the general's evil feather arrow and the dead man's clothes were just carrying objects. Compared with the corpse, his supernatural powers are obviously more closely related to Gao Tianzhang.

All in all, Qi Jingzhi has the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth in hand, and is not afraid that Li Shenxian or anyone else will use this arrow to backfire on him. On the contrary, once the function of the general's evil feather arrow is known, the effect of disturbing the mind will be useless. , as for the plan to take away one’s lifespan...it also overlaps with the plan to take away one’s lifespan, Jianrenshou, which is equally dispensable.

"This...this is a battlefield warrior who chases souls and saves lives to make comebacks!"

Li Shenxian has personally tried the miraculous power of this feather arrow to "confuse the mind". Although it has limited effect on a master like him, when competing in the same realm, life and death are only on a thin line.

Therefore, although Li Shenxian didn't know the inside story, seeing Qi Jingzhi, who had just met him for the first time, he generously gave him this rare treasure and treated him with such sincerity, his tiger eyes gradually turned red, and his cheeks and neck turned red even earlier. .

He clenched the General Sha Yu Arrow in his hand, first raised his eyes to look around at the brothers Paoze, then looked sharply at Qi Jingzhi, gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "Qi Yingwei, please give me a solid explanation for the brothers. If we had continued to fight just now, what would have been the final result?"

Although Qi Jingzhi didn't understand what he meant, he still thought about it seriously, and then slowly replied: "To be arrogant, if Brother Li can only shoot two arrows, and you all refuse to retreat, I will use my own sword alone." With my fighting skills and cultivation, I am sure that I can kill all of you here within the longest time of one stick of incense."

He paused, then pointed at the feather arrow in Li Shenxian's hand and added: "If other means are used...a cup of tea is enough."

Li Shenxian stared into the young man's eyes from the beginning to the end. Seeing that his eyes were pure and honest and did not seem to be fake, not to mention that the young man even gave away those precious arrows, so there was no need to deceive him.

Therefore, Li Shenxian took a long breath, bowed his head resolutely, and solemnly saluted Qi Jingzhi with cupped fists: "Li Shenxian will not be ignorant of good and evil if the battalion commander gives you face like this!"

"I, Old Li, have never obeyed anyone in my life, but today I am completely convinced by the Yingwei! From now on, Li Shenxian and Bazhou's [-] brothers...only the Yingwei will obey!"

Once this man has made up his mind, he will never look back.

"A man wields a sword to repay kindness, but he is not willing to live his life in vain!"

"But that's all!"

Li Shenxian stood up suddenly and waved his hand at the silent Bazhou crossbowmen around him: "Why don't you come with me to meet the captain?"

As soon as these words came out, a hundred men suddenly agreed, pushing down the golden mountains and falling jade pillars, kneeling on one knee, cupping their fists and saluting.

In an instant, a roar like thunder came out through the forest, frightening the birds and stopping the flying clouds: "The battalion commander is here, from now on we are waiting for you to follow your lead!"

Now it was Qi Jingzhi's turn to be stunned.

He originally felt that he was alone, but when he saw that Li Shenxian and a hundred Bazhou crossbowmen were both powerful and compatible, he wanted to form a good relationship, but this was not the first time he had done such a thing. Able to grasp the balance well, the strength makes it a bit fierce...

Faced with the desperate surrender of these fighting men, the young man was inevitably a little dazed for a moment.

Li Shenxian saw that his battalion commander looked thoughtful, so he did not ask his brothers to get up, but took the initiative to step forward and said: "According to the Daqi military system, the battalion commander should have five hundred tiger warriors under his command. We will wait for him. There are only 100 crossbowmen in Bazhou, and there is still a huge shortage. What are your plans?"

Qi Jingzhi came back to his senses and saw Li Shenxian and the surrounding soldiers with earnest eyes and enthusiasm on their faces. He felt like he was being chased away.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered the quarrels that Li Shenxian mentioned, and immediately asked: "Who are the people in Gouchen Courtyard who can be the rival of our Bazhou crossbowmen?"

Hearing this, Li Shenxian's face immediately showed a ferocious smile, with evil intentions coming from the bottom of his heart.
