The boat was docked, and Li Jing put the feather arrow back into the arrow bag, took off the iron fingers used to open the bow, and then handed the heavy iron-tied bow to the personal soldiers behind him, and then jumped to the shore.

"Thank you Lord Li for helping me." Gao Bufan said in surprise. This guy came in time.

Li Jing smiled indifferently and said, "I heard that my friend Changqing has a very good nature. I believe that I can turn the danger into safety without taking action. By the way, who is that masked man?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the other party and Li Shanfei are in the same group. His martial arts are unfathomable. He is definitely not an opponent. This person leaves when he sees Lord Li. Isn't it because he is afraid of Lord Li?"

Li Jing frowned and said, "Since this person is in the same group as Li Shanfei, it is possible that he is Wang Xuba. These two are sworn brothers. If it is really him, that makes sense."

Gao Bufan said curiously: "What's the solution?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "Because Wang Xuba recognized his official position, of course, he was not afraid of his official position, but a sworn brother who was the official position!"

Gao Bufan's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely guessed who this person was, and tentatively said: "I dare to ask who this sworn brother, Lord Li, is so powerful that he makes Wang Xuba afraid of this!"

Li Jing actually showed a respectful expression on his face and said, "This sworn brother named Zhang Zhongjian, nicknamed Qiulang Ke, is a strange man in the world. He once captured Wang Xuba, but in the end he spared his life, so Wang Xuba was very afraid of him. He knew the relationship between him and his elder brother, so he did not dare to be an enemy of him."

Gao Bufan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Wang Xuba's martial arts skills were already terrifyingly high. How strong is this bearded guest? No wonder the black-clothed ghost-faced man repeatedly warned himself not to expose his martial arts knowledge in front of the beard guest.

At this time, Gao Bufan glanced at Li Jing with a little guilty conscience. Since Li Jing is a sworn brother of the bearded guest, would he also be a Taoist sect?

Speaking of which, Gao Bufan still couldn't see the depth of Li Jing's martial arts skills. He only knew that he was very archery and his strength was not weak, because the strength of the iron-tied bow should be about three stones.

Li Jing did not notice Gao Bufan's abnormality and asked, "Has my friend Changqing ever met the bandit leader Zhang Jincheng?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "I met him, but Zhang Jin said he had been killed by Li Shanfei." As he said that, he briefly said the story.

Li Jing couldn't help but frown when he heard this, "Li Shanfei is so scheming. It seems that he is determined to rebel. Where is the body of Zhang Jinzhu?"

Gao Bufan took Li Jing over, and Zhang Jinsheng and the bodies of four personal soldiers were indeed lying there. Li Jing checked that it was Zhang Jinsheng and he couldn't help but feel happy. Zhang Jinsheng said that this military operation was a complete success and he achieved great achievements.

"My friend Changqing, Zhang Jin said that although Li Shanfei killed him, you were the first to see him. This credit should be attributed..."

Gao Bufan immediately interrupted: "Zhang Jin said that his death was not unrelated to defeat, and it was Lord Li who defeated him, so this contribution naturally belongs to Lord Li. How dare you take the credit if you give me!"

Li Jing looked hesitant and could see that he was a little embarrassed, but his current situation really needed this credit. After measuring it for a moment, he finally bowed to Gao Bufan, and his gratitude was all indifferent.

Gao Bufan smiled. Li Jing needed credit, but he needed Li Jing's favor, but he took each of them. After careful calculation, Gao Bufan felt that he had made a big profit!

Li Jing obviously didn't think so. He took the credit of Gao Bufan, which made him a little uneasy, but he was clumsy and didn't know what to say for a moment, and his expression was a bit embarrassing!

Gao Bufan's eyes rolled and he took the opportunity to say, "I have been having a great relationship with Lord Li for a long time. If Lord Li doesn't dislike him, why don't we follow the example of the ancients and become brothers of a different surname?"

Li Jing was stunned. Now he is unknown and frustrated. He is so different from Gao Bufan's age. The other party actually proposed to be sworn brothers with him, which was beyond his expectations. However, sworn brothers in the ancients were also a kind of trend. As the saying goes, he does not ask for birth on the same year, month and day, but wants to die on the same day, so age is definitely not a problem!

"This..." Li Jing was hesitating, but Gao Bufan sighed: "Since Lord Li looks down on the boy, then forget it!"

When it comes to this, Li Jing naturally has no choice but to refuse again, and quickly said, "Since that's the case, then Li Jing will call him a good name."

Gao Bufan was immediately overjoyed and said cheerfully: "Brother."

Li Jing was really uncomfortable with being called the elder brother by a young man who was nearly a few decades younger. He smiled bitterly: "Third brother, please call me the second brother. The bearded guest is my sworn brother, and of course you are your elder brother. From now on, you will be the third brother!"

Gao Bufan was secretly happy. The reason why he became sworn brothers with Li Jing was naturally optimistic about Li Jing's potential, and the second was because of the Qiulang Guest. With this relationship, he thought that even if the Qiulang Guest knew his origin, he would not be able to take action in the future.

"What my second brother said is very true!" Gao Bufan said happily.

Li Jing couldn't help but be happy when he saw Gao Bufan so happy. After all, he is not a big figure now. Gao Bufan is so happy to make friends with him, which makes him a little proud. Moreover, Gao Bufan's conditions are not bad. He is both civil and military at a young age and is also appreciated by the General of the Right Guard. He will definitely have a bright future in the future and his achievements will definitely be above him.

Speaking of decades of frustration in the officialdom, Li Jing was a little depressed and even became self-doubted. Although he made a good contribution today, he obviously did not have much optimism about his career. After all, he was over forty years old, and Gao Bufan was the rising sun, and his future was much brighter than him!

"Brother, let's go back, everyone is still waiting for us," said Gao Bufan.

Li Jing nodded. Since he had become sworn brothers, the relationship would be different. He was no longer embarrassed and ordered his personal soldiers to carry Zhang Jincheng's body to the merits, and the group returned to Xicheng County.

…………

The autumn wind was shining, and a light boat was walking through the waterway of Gaojipo. The man in black-clothed ghostly face had taken off his mask, revealing a middle-aged man full of vicissitudes of life. The beard under his jaw was sparse, just like his eyebrows.

As Li Jing expected, this person was Wang Xuba. However, as his name was, all Xuba was pulled out, and it was normal that it was sparse.

Li Shanfei used lake water to clean the blood on his face, and the knife wound on his forehead became more obvious. The flesh turned outwards looked very terrifying.

Wang Xuba frowned and said, "What is that kid? Even brother, you are no match for him!"

Li Shanfei shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only know that he is the young owner of Feiying Horse Farm. His father Gao Kaishan is just a horse-raising person, and he is like a martial artist. He doesn't know where that kid learned his skills."

Wang Xuba said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that there was such a person in this county. This world is indeed hidden and lying on the creek."

Li Shanfei tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes, wrapped the wound on his forehead, and asked, "When will the eldest brother come?"

"I arrived in Zhangnan County last night. Later, I heard that you followed Zhang Jinsheng to attack Xixian County, so I came overnight. Li Jing is indeed good at using troops, and Zhang Jinsheng said he was defeated without any worries!" Wang Xuba sighed.

Li Shanfei angrily heard this, "If Li Jing hadn't come out halfway, my plan might have been successful soon. And I had the chance to kill Li Jing just now, why didn't my brother take action?"

Wang Xuba didn't say anything, Li Shanfei sighed and said, "So many years have passed, and my elder brother is still afraid of the bearded guest!"

Wang Xuba Yaobi said, "It's not that the bearded guest was so kind to not kill me back then. What's wrong with me for giving Li Jing's life today!"

Li Shanfei said angrily: "The bearded guest has never been ungrateful to me. If I have the chance to kill Li Jing next time, I will never be ruthless!"

"It's better not to provoke him!" Wang Xuba said seriously: "I'm not the opponent of the bearded guest, and you're not even more so!"

Li Shanfei was a little depressed, this was indeed the truth, and he said angrily: "What's the matter with me, brother?"

"The owner has a new task to us!" Wang Xuba's face became even more vicissitudes of life when he spoke.

Li Shanfei gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, our brother has been working for him for more than 20 years. Is it enough? Why do you still order us to do things?"

Wang Xuba said calmly: "The owner said that this is the last time to complete this order. We will have no relationship with Jinghua Shuiyue Tower from now on!"

Li Shanfei asked with a dark face: "Who will be killed again this time?"

"Princess Yicheng!"

Li Shanfei's expression changed and he blurted out: "Turkish Kedun, it's crazy. Not to mention that we can't find the Turkish tent, even if we find it, there will be no chance to start. Kedun must have many guards, and there are many masters."

Wang Xuba shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this, brother, the poster has already patrolled us."

Li Shanfei's face changed and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is the last time. I will never serve you anymore. At worst, I will give you my life back."
