Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

Cao Meng nodded. "Master, I'll be going now."

Lu Feng chuckled softly, "Squad Leader Cao, I'll say it one last time, you really don't need to call me master anymore."

You are a straightforward man who keeps his promises, and I admire that.

However, it sounds awkward for you to call me "master," and it also sounds awkward to me.

Let's just let this matter drop, shall we?

Cao Meng's eyes flickered, and finally he shook his head and said, "My mother taught me that a man's word is as good as his bond."

"Words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back."

Lu Fengshen sighed softly, "I really can't do anything with you. How about this, if you insist on calling me master, I can't just accept it for nothing."

I'll break down the four-arrow-in-a-row technique for you three times. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself.

Upon hearing this, Cao Meng's face lit up with surprise. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Fengnian took out four arrows from his quiver, held his longbow upright in front of him, and began to demonstrate the technique of shooting four arrows in quick succession.

He deliberately slowed down each movement and described it in detail.

Soon, after dismantling the four arrows in quick succession three times, Lu Fengnian put away his bow and arrows.

"Thank you, Master!" Cao Meng bowed respectfully.

Lu Fengnian nodded and smiled, "Now that I hear you call me master, I feel at ease."

Cao Meng hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Master, Yu Qingde is protected by a martial artist who has acquired the acquired skills. You only have one chance to shoot an arrow. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you must leave."

His saying such things at this moment shows that he already has a bias towards Lu Fengnian.

A flicker of joy crossed Lu Fengnian's heart, but a look of doubt appeared on his face. "A martial artist who has reached the acquired realm? Commander Lei didn't tell me about this."

Cao Meng avoided eye contact.

Lu Fengnian frowned and asked, "Did Commander Lei deliberately conceal this information?"

Cao Meng responded in a low voice, "Master, telling you this information is already disobeying Lord Qianhu's orders. Do not ask any more questions."

After saying that, he tried to leave.

Lu Fengnian said in a deep voice, "Alright, I won't ask that question."

Then let me ask you, what kind of person is Yu Qingde, what is his reputation as an official, and is he a person who deserves to be killed?

Cao Meng's expression changed, but he did not respond immediately.

Lu Fengnian continued, "I taught you to shoot four arrows in a row because you are upright and loyal."

I came to kill Yu Qingde to protect myself and my family.

However, I know very little about Yu Qingde; all the information I've heard comes from Commander Cao.

If Yu Qingde deserves to die, I can kill him with a clear conscience; if Yu Qingde is a good official or a good person, I will not be at peace with myself if I kill him.

I respect you as a man of integrity and loyalty, and I consider you a trustworthy person.

I absolutely believe your opinion of Yu Qingde.

Cao Meng hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Yu Qingde is a corrupt official who abuses his power and disregards human life; he deserves to die!"

Lu Fengnian nodded. "I'm relieved to hear that."

At this point, he changed the subject, "I can see that you are extremely loyal to Commander Lei."

Without hesitation, Cao Meng replied, "My life was saved from the battlefield by Commander Lei."

No wonder.

Lu Fengnian nodded, then asked, "What rank are the Acquired martial artists following Yu Qingde?"

Cao Meng whispered, "Second Rank of the Day After Tomorrow."

Lu Fengnian was slightly relieved. "I understand. Just wait for me at the water gate."

Cao Meng added, "Master, a martial artist who has acquired skills is invincible."

Acquired martial artists have speed and physique far superior to ordinary people. Even a first-grade acquired martial artist's combat power far surpasses that of Liu Laosan.

"Your archery skills are excellent, but once they get close, it will be extremely dangerous."

Lu Fengnian nodded. "I know. If things become unmanageable, I will prioritize self-preservation."

Cao Meng bowed slightly and said, "Master, I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he quickly descended the roof ridge and disappeared into the night.

As Cao Meng walked further and further away, Lu Fengnian's brows gradually furrowed.

…………

Time passed slowly, and the night grew deeper.

The Yixianglou restaurant was getting more and more crowded and lively.

At the beginning of Hai hour, the lights finally came on in the Chun room of Yixianglou.

A maidservant quickly tidied up the room and prepared a sumptuous feast and fine wine on the table.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, a thin old man strode into the room, inspected the room, and even stuck his head out of the window to look left and right.

He then left the room and stood guard at the door.

Lu Fengnian judged that this old man should be the acquired martial artist beside Yu Qingde.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a large belly and an oily face, supported by two scantily clad young women, entered the "Spring" room. It was Yu Qingde.

The gaunt old man who had just entered the house followed him in, bowing his head and standing behind Yu Qingde.

Yu Qingde entered the room, sat down at the table with an air of authority, and pulled the two women to his side, embracing them and touching them, kissing and groping them, completely disregarding the withered old man behind him.

For a moment, inside the "Spring" room, Yu Qingde's unrestrained laughter and the two women's coquettish giggles mingled together, filling the air with a continuous cacophony...

Lu Fengnian lay on the roof ridge, waiting quietly.

After a few teasing words, one of the two women poured wine and served drinks, while the other went to the table, wearing a thin shirt, and sang and danced.

Yu Qingde's eyelids were red, and his eyes were unfocused.

The gaunt old man's vigilance also noticeably decreased, and his gaze frequently fell on the dancing woman.

As it approached midnight, the atmosphere in room number "Spring" had reached its peak. Yu Qingde was completely numbed by alcohol and was about to commit that filthy act in front of the withered old man.

The gaunt old man was used to this kind of situation and simply retreated to the doorway, lowered his head, and pretended not to see it.

Lu Fengnian finally got his chance and quietly climbed up from the roof ridge.

Then, with a whoosh, there was a sound.

An iron arrow pierced the night sky and swiftly shot into room number Chun.

With a snap, the oil lamp was extinguished, plunging the room into darkness.

The gaunt old man reacted immediately, shouting, "Sir, be careful! There's an assassin!"

As he spoke, he immediately lunged at Yu Qingde.

However, just as he was about to make a move, with a whoosh, an iron arrow pierced through the window and shot towards him.

The gaunt old man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly dodged away.

With a soft "poof!"

The arrow grazed past him and embedded itself in the wall behind him.

At the same time, with another whoosh, a third iron arrow shot into the Chun-character room, heading directly under the table.

At that moment, Yu Qingde was squatting under the table.

The moment the oil lamp in the room was extinguished, Yu Qingde broke out in a cold sweat, and the effects of the alcohol dissipated almost completely.

On instinct, he hid under the table.
