Chapter 6 First Kill
Several people rushed out of the bushes.
Almost at the same time, Xu Xuan, who had expected it, dodged to the side of the carriage, using the carriage as a cover, and was about to draw his bow and shoot arrows.
In contrast, Xu Feng was stunned.
Although his mother was a barbarian, he had lived a life of luxury and had never experienced such a scene.
Xu Xuan's quick reaction also surprised Li Hu.
The next moment he stood in front of everyone and said:
"Don't do it, it's a misunderstanding, I know your second in command."
After that, Li Hu took out a wooden sign with some patterns on it, as well as ten taels of silver, and said: "Old rules."
The leader took the wooden sign and the silver, waved his hand impatiently, and motioned everyone to go over.
After the convoy left the forest, Li Hu said to the two people:
"There is a Wupo village here, where a large group of bandits gathered, but it's okay. We have dealt with them many times, and we can leave after paying money."
The larger the mountain village, the more rules it follows.
For those foreign merchants who don't come for several years, they are usually robbed directly, anyway, they don't expect them to come next time.
If they are local merchants, they can basically pass by paying money, after all, it's a long-term solution. If they provoke others to not come, they don't know where to eat.
"Yes, I know." Xu Xuan said.
Xu Feng was silent. His performance just now was much worse than Xu Xuan's, which made him a little embarrassed.
Immediately afterwards, everyone passed Meishan City, and Li Hu repeatedly told everyone not to stop in Meishan County for supplies.
"Why?" Xu Xuan asked.
This time Xu Feng spoke up, saying, "Chenzhou has one prefecture and four counties, with a total of three forces."
"The strongest is Chenzhou Tusi Wu Lan, the pacification envoy, who has guarded Chenzhou Prefecture for generations and has influence over Chenxi and Hecheng counties. The second is our grandfather, the Sanshan Barbarians Guard; the third is the Wei clan magistrate of Meishan County and the Wei clan magistrate of Pushui County. The two Weis are one."
"The Wei clan has always been in conflict with us, so they don't pass through Meishan."
The other two forces each have two counties, and Xu Feng's grandfather is hiding in the mountains. He doesn't look strong, but in fact it's the other way around.
The other two families became families, turned to business and became officials, and mainly focused on small families.
Liming took over the barbarians in the mountains. As the leader of the mountain barbarians in the Chenzhou area, Liming has a great advantage in terms of military strength.
The two families coveted Liming's military strength, and Liming coveted their land and wealth.
Chenzhou's population of 100,000 was divided up by three families.
"Second Young Master is right, so when we get to Meishan, we must be extremely alert."
"I see."
After a smooth journey, everyone finally walked out of Chenzhou and arrived at Nanzhou County, Yiyang.
At night, everyone came to the woods, and nine corpses took off their robes, revealing the oil paper bags tied to their bodies, which contained refined salt worth 300 wen per pound.
Xu Xuan and others unloaded the coffins on the carriages, opened the coffins, and found that they were full of coarse salt.
The other side was a group of strong men in armor.
"Captain Wang, the things have been delivered." Li Hu smiled.
"Yeah."
Captain Wang counted for a moment, glanced at everyone again, nodded slightly, and his men behind him handed over a bag of silver.
"Thank you, Captain!"
The two sides did not talk too much nonsense, and left immediately after confirming the number.
The nine people stopped loading corpses and all got into the carriages.
The three carriages rushed back to Chenzhou City.
"I'll drive the carriage." Xu Xuan took the initiative to take over the task.
On the way, he didn't blink his eyes, practicing the magic archery.
Archery requires not only strength, but also eyesight. Victory or defeat often happens in the blink of an eye. A strong archer can keep his eyes on the target without blinking.
The mirror will not add points, but will only reflect the situation of one's own practice.
But watching the percentage of one's own practice continue to rise, this sense of accomplishment is not something that ordinary people can experience.
At the same time, he was thinking about what to do next.
This world is obviously in the last years of the dynasty, and there are foreign invasions.
There will be a lot of suffering in the future.
As a merchant family, those dynasty armies, warlords, refugees and foreign races all want to cut your flesh.
A warrior is nothing among the chaotic soldiers, and magic can still guarantee his safety.
"Maybe I have to build my own power."
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are afraid of being strangled by bows and crossbows.
But magic is different. In this world without magic, the power of magic does not need to be too strong. Just rubbing a fireball can attract many people to join you.
While building up power, we also need to collect a lot of cultivation materials. Although this world has no spiritual energy, there are still many medicinal materials.
Xu Xuan thought.
Unconsciously, he had not blinked for half an hour.
His proficiency also increased by one percent.
At this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash of light in front of him.
…
A group of black-clothed masked men were ambushing in the bushes and behind trees, holding weapons with cold light, and the two leading men were holding two powerful crossbows.
"The head of the family said that this time we must cut off the source of Xu's wealth and teach them a lesson. Kill all these people."
The leader lowered his voice and whispered.
"Stop!!"
Xu Xuan suddenly spoke in the carriage.
The three carriages stopped.
"What's going on?" Li Hu poked his head out.
"There seems to be an ambush ahead." Xu Xuan's face was solemn.
"Brother, you are too timid, aren't you? In the wilderness, you can say you are timid, Amon, let's go!"
Xu Feng was dissatisfied and urged the guards to set off quickly.
He was very uncomfortable after not taking a bath for three days and three nights. Now he just wanted to return to the warm bed of the maid.
"Be careful."
"Then you stay here!"
Xu Feng mocked, and then the carriage took the lead.
Li Hu came out to make peace and said, "Let's go, be careful..."
As soon as the voice fell, a group of people really jumped out of the bushes in front.
Bang!
The tall guard was shot through the throat by a crossbow arrow, and blood splashed on Xu Feng's face. The guy was so scared that he stood there in a daze.
Another crossbow arrow hit Li Hu's abdomen.
Whoosh!
Another arrow, this time from Xu Xuan who was well prepared.
Xu Xuan drew his bow and shot two arrows in two breaths, accurately hitting the crossbowman's throat.
The long-range attack ended, and the opponent rushed over with a weapon in hand.
"Kill! Kill them!"
Li Hu stood up tremblingly and gave orders to everyone.
Soon, the nine people in the carriage and the other two drivers drew their weapons, jumped off the carriage, and fought hand-to-hand.
Xu Feng sat in the front of the carriage in a daze, as if he was scared silly.
"Kill!"
The two sides fought together.
Although the enemy leader didn't know why the Xu family reacted so quickly, since he had started, there was no reason to retreat.
Xu Xuan grabbed the edge of the carriage, turned over and stood on the canopy, stood on a high place and pulled the ox horn bow, accurately killing these enemies.
Whether it is a moving enemy or an enemy fighting with his own people, Xu Xuan can also hit accurately.
The whizzing sound in the battlefield is a death warrant for the enemy, but also a good medicine for boosting morale of the own side.
The martial arts in the advanced world are a level higher than here. If Li Qingshi from the mirror world comes here, he can be regarded as a top master.
After all, he is an existence that shoots several arrows in a row and kills tigers and leopards.
But in the mirror world, he is at most a good hunter.
Xu Xuan stood at the highest point, and the crossbowman was shot and killed early, and he was the focus of the battlefield.
Li Hu's eyes were surprised, as if he had seen Xu Xuan like this for the first time.
Xu Feng's expression was complicated, both jealous and resentful.
Xu Xuan performed so well that it was easy for people to look back at themselves...
"Why! Why can the son of a Han woman have such good martial arts!"
The mountain tribe is full of martial virtues, and the son of a Han woman...
At this time, the leader of the enemy came under the carriage under the cover of the last two people.
"Die for me!"
The leader threw the long knife at Xu Xuan's head.
Xu Xuan threw down his short bow, drew the long knife from his waist, blocked the flying long knife, and then jumped off the canopy.
Open the mountain!
The leader's head was split in half with a single cut, and the long knife was stuck in the bloody chest.
This move shocked everyone.
"Good job!"
Li Hu dragged his injured body and several guards to kill the last two.
They untied the leader's mask.
"Wei's people! It's really this bunch of bastards!"
Li Hu looked at the only seven people left and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long, leave quickly!"
Everyone didn't bother to touch the corpse and hurried on the road overnight.
At the front of the car, Xu Xuan's face was calm, and sweat had already wet his back.
The first time he killed someone, there was no vomiting described in literary works.
Blood and brain matter are indeed disgusting, but not to this extent.
At most, it was fatigue after the excitement, and inexplicable confusion.
"If I don't kill people, people will kill me. This is the first time, not the last time."
Xu Xuan officially transformed tonight, and from then on he was no longer a modern person who didn't fit in.
