Chapter 322: One Arrow
It was September 26, 23rd year of Zhaohua.
Departing from Kyoto, the bandit suppression team, which had been walking for ten days, finally arrived at the foot of Shilipo on the evening of that day.
There were no abnormalities along the way.
Ning Zhixing never said a word to Li Chenan again, and he must have really given up.
The girl riding a donkey would only talk to Li Chenan during dinner. She didn't talk about the disciples in Wanxizhai or Wanxizhai, and even rarely talked about the world.
What she was more curious about was Li Chenan's strange behavior that slowly moved along the way-
He always goes to the fields to stroll around at noon or evening when the team is camping!
For two nights, he even took the two knives of Mushan Knife to two popular villages!
She didn't go with her the first night, but she went the second night.
Then I saw Li Chenan sitting on the threshold of a shabby room chatting with an old man dressed in shabby!
This was beyond Xiao Baozi's expectations.
Because she knew that Li Chenan had a high status and rumored that he was the eldest son of the emperor.
Even though she had been living in Wanxizhai, she passed the entire first floor of books left by her master, and naturally knew what the world was.
There are masters in the world, and masters are disdainful to low-level players.
The temple is separated by ranks, and the lower level is subject to the order of the higher level.
There are even more places in the world, and it is difficult to see each other, let alone sit together and chat.
But Li Chenan really chatted with the old man for a long time!
At first, the old man was afraid.
But Li Chenan seemed to have forgotten his identity. He put himself in a very low voice and spoke casually, without the arrogance of a literati, nor without the arrogance of the eldest son.
He is very good at seducing the other party to speak.
So before I knew it, the old man seemed to have ignored his dark and clean clothes, and gradually started talking.
The two actually talked about harsh taxes from farming, and from mulberry silkworms to bad policies.
The final topic finally came to this, because the old farmer didn't dare to say it again, even if he wanted to say it when he went up.
Li Chenan naturally did not force it, and then said goodbye and left.
When Xiao Baozi came, Li Chenan's behavior was of course not aimless.
"I thought you would give that old man a few taels of silver..."
Xiao Baozi raised his eyes to Li Chenan, sat lazily on the stool, as if she felt a little uncomfortable, so she changed her position and said:
"After all, that old man is really pitiful. He has to serve more than ten acres of crops and bring two grandchildren. The family can no longer be unscathed, and the wild vegetables picked from the mountains are not enough for the grandfather and grandson to fill their stomachs."
Li Chenan pondered for a moment, "This is not a problem that can be solved by giving a few taels of silver. If the root of this problem is not solved, their lives will never be sustainable."
Xiao Baozi's slender eyes widened a little, "Where is the root of the problem?"
"If a person as hardworking as the old farmer can't eat, if the people in the world will be hungry with their hard-working hands..."
Li Chenan poured a cup of tea for Xiao Baozi, "If the merchants can't lose a few taels of silver after fighting for a year, if the handicraftsmen get sick but can't even get the money for treatment...then there is something wrong with this country."
"The root is above the temple!"
Xiao Baozi took the teacup and pouted his mouth and took a slight sip, then raised his eyes to Li Chenan, "How to treat it?"
Li Chenan did not answer, he smiled slightly: "Tell me your name first."
Xiao Baozi put down the teacup and glanced at him, "Go and ask the Prime Minister!"
Li Chenan turned his head and saw that the little black donkey was drinking water by the stream. It was lying on the ground with its butt sticking out.
"Who are those people over there?"
Xiao Baozi looked at the group of silver-armored soldiers in the distance and then asked.
"The Second Prince's personal guard."
"Second Prince? He is here with you to suppress the bandits?"
"No, he came to kill me."
"…Then why didn't you kill him?"
"Go to Shuangjiao Mountain to kill."
Xiao Baozi's mind suddenly went down, and she looked at Li Chenan again. In the eyes that had been dull, there was still a hint of doubt.
She felt that it was difficult for her to understand the man in front of her.
"If you want to choose a place to kill someone?"
"I don't have to choose a place, but you have seen him too. After all, he has so many soldiers. If I attack him at this time, my people will be killed or injured."
Li Chenan also looked at the Silver Armor Army in the distance, "His life is not worth a lot, but my life is very expensive. The arrangement in Shuangjiao Mountain should be completed. It is more cost-effective to let him die without a single soldier."
Xiao Baozi pondered for a moment, "I think you are more like a shrewd businessman now, why don't I kill him?"
"Wait, no hurry."
As soon as Li Chenan finished speaking, Xiao Baozi suddenly turned around and looked at the mountain behind the camp!
This mountain is the front mountain that enters Shuangjiao Mountain!
This mountain is not high, but there are many pine and cypress on the mountain, so the forest is dense.
The sunset has already set, and the tired birds should have returned to their nests, but at this moment, a group of birds flew up at the mountainside about twenty feet away.
Xiao Baozi's slender eyes suddenly narrowed into a line and turned into a slit.
When Li Chenan saw Xiao Baozi's strange appearance, he also turned his head and looked at him, and said, "I am the bait. I want to lure one or two masters from the martial arts world to appear. If it is the northern beggar Zuo Qiu Buming, he can shoot an arrow at most!"
Xiao Baozi ignored his words. She kept on the mountainside. After a while, the flying birds fell back to the tree.
No arrow came.
But there was at least one move just now.
"I'm here to run away."
Li Chenan was Xiao Baozi's eyes at this time. He now felt that Xiao Baozi's eyes seemed to have some problems.
Because she always likes to squint her eyes, especially when she wants to observe something.
Could it be myopia?
If this master of the martial arts world is myopia, he may suffer a lot of losses when fighting.
Xiao Baozi withdrew his gaze and opened his slender eyes a little, "So you took away the two swords of Mushan Dao? Just to make Zuo Qiu stop shooting you with an arrow?"
"Well, after all, they are here. Even if Zuo Qiu Buming is a half-step master, he will not be sure to hit me with one arrow."
"Can you block Zuo Qiu Buming's arrow?"
Li Chenan picked up the teacup and shook his head, "I can't, aren't you there?"
"...You are indeed a shrewd businessman."
"What level are you?"
Xiao Baozi did not answer, she stood up and walked towards the little black donkey like a weak willow and helping the wind.
"Why should I block that arrow for you?"
She walked to the stream, sat on the back of the little black donkey, took off her shoes, and soaked the white little feet that Li Chenan could not see in the stream.
She was about to wash her feet happily, but suddenly she turned toward the mountain.
Her eyes narrowed into a thread again. In an instant, she turned her head slightly and frowned between her eyebrows. She heard an extremely faint sound of breaking through the air.
A sword was slashed in the mountains.
But she already knew that an arrow shot towards Li Chenan.
She reached out and pulled a tuft of donkey's hair from the butt of the little black donkey.
The little black donkey, 后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后后
But it was still lying by the stream and didn't dare to stick its butt up.
Xiao Baozi waved.
A tuft of donkey hair flew towards the arrow.
Almost at the same time, she also flew up from the donkey's back.
Because that tuft of donkey hair can block the arrow of the half-step Grandmaster.
Her body flew into the air and her hands fell on her waist.
Li Chenan looked up and saw her waist suddenly loosening, and her wide long skirt bloomed like a mushroom.
She flew over Li Chenan's head!
Li Chenan suddenly widened his eyes.
But it was not because of the arrow that flew in.
But...
He saw a bright look in the long skirt that was opened... bright red!
After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed.
Chapter completed!
