Chapter 12: The Mysterious Man in Black
From the main hall of the Lingbei County Government Office, Master Fang Jingzhi, Master Liu and others came out.
Fang Jingzhi said softly, "Master, tell me what you think about Xie Hou."
"Sir, I think Mr. Xie did the right thing. Even though Mr. Su has great talents, once he is invited, the scene will be huge. With Mr. Xie's personality, he will naturally not like it."
"And the county exam in January will be a good time to measure Mr. Su's strength. What we have to do is not to please him deliberately, but also to provide appropriate help."
"Well, Mr. Liu is very careful, so I'll leave this matter to you. In short, no matter how you treat Mr. Xie or that Su Xiucai, you can't be too negligent."
"Don't worry, adults. Children have their own sense of proportion."
Fang Jingzhi nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Wang Yamen behind him, and said casually.
"I heard that you embarrassed Mr. Su just now at the gate of the county government office because of your lack of foresight?"
Wang Yamen's expression suddenly changed, and he kowtowed to the ground quickly, looking panicked.
"It's my fault. I was blinded by lard. I hope you will give me another chance."
Fang Jingzhi didn't say anything. He just stood there and exchanged a few words with Master Liu before leaving.
At this time, Wang Yamen's face was pale, and large areas of sweat were dripping from his forehead. It looked like he was quite frightened.
Mr. Liu stepped forward, patted Mr. Wang on the shoulder, and said softly, "Xiao Wang, your life is saved this time. Remember, in the county examination in one month, if you meet Mr. Su again, I want to
You should know how to do it."
"I understand, I understand. Thank you, Master, for saving my life. This life belongs to you, Master. From now on, I will go up mountains of swords and seas of fire..."
Before Wang Yamen finished speaking, he looked up and saw that there was no trace of Master Liu anywhere.
On Su Qian's side, after receiving the reward, the group of five people headed straight to Dongshan Village as quickly as possible without stopping along the way.
Strangely enough, Su Qian and the other five did not encounter any trouble along the way and returned to Dongshan Village very smoothly.
The time to return to the village was less than half an hour faster than the time we went there.
When the five of them returned to the village, it was almost sunset, but as soon as they stepped into the village, a large number of people were standing waiting at the entrance of the village. It looked like they had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the five people returning safely, countless villagers felt relieved.
The leader, Village Chief Li, quickly walked up to Su Qi'an, patted his shoulder and asked quickly.
"Xiao An, how is your journey going?"
"Uncle, don't worry," "With the four of us here, the journey will go smoothly." Li Hu patted his chest and said confidently.
Village Chief Li was not polite and slapped Li Hu on the head, "You are so clueless. If it weren't for Xiao An, I would be very worried."
"Uncle, there are so many people, why can't you give me some face?"
Suddenly, the villagers around him burst into laughter.
After the laughter, Su Qi'an did not delay the business and handed over the pension that had been allocated in advance to Village Chief Li.
Holding the pension in his hand, Village Chief Li had mixed feelings. He was about to say something aloud when Su Qian stopped him.
"Village Chief, don't say anything polite. We all belong to the same village. If you can trust me, Xiao An will naturally try his best. I just hope that the village will get better and better in the future and everyone will be safe. That's all."
"Well, what Xiao An said is right. The old man is confused. Okay, everyone, please leave. I think Xiaoyin is getting impatient after being delayed for so long."
"Well, what the village chief said is reasonable. If we are stuck here, Xiaoyin might think something has happened. We can't delay Mr. Su and his wife's meeting."
"After all, as the saying goes, if you don't see it for a day, it won't be the same."
"That's called not seeing each other for a day. It's like three autumns. I said, Third Aunt, if you're uneducated, don't talk about it here. It's a shame."
"Hey, women like us can't compare with Mr. Su. Fifth sister, don't laugh at me. When I go back in the evening, I will make sure that your aquatic student teaches you well."
As soon as the village chief's voice fell, several Orion wives beside him began to make all sorts of obscene jokes, making everyone around them burst into laughter.
Even though Su Qian had received a modern education, her ears turned red after being teased by this group of young wives and old sisters-in-law.
After greeting the village chief, Li Hu and others a few times, they fled as fast as possible.
Seeing this scene, these old sisters-in-law and young wives covered their mouths and laughed wildly.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Su, who is not afraid of anything, could not stand these jokes.
Su Qianzai got rid of the crowd, walked a mile or two, and finally returned to his home.
From a distance, although the thatched house looks simple, several oil lamps have already been lit inside.
Su Qi'an watched this scene from a distance and sighed, "It seems that I will have to find time to build a new room in the future."
Now Su Qi'an has been in Da Liang for a while. He has a lovely wife at home. Since he has to be responsible, he must live a good life.
This time I hunted tigers and harvested a lot, and I basically had the money to build a house.
Just when Su Qian was thinking like this, suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Is it your husband?"
Su Qi'an looked around, and at some point, Qin Ziyin was standing at the door, holding an oil lamp in his hand, looking around.
Su Qi'an stepped forward quickly, took the oil lamp from Qin Ziyin's hand, and said softly.
"Madam, this is my husband. I have made you wait for too long. You must be anxious."
"It's good that you come back safely. My husband hasn't eaten yet. Let's go back and eat."
Su Qi'an nodded and walked into the home with Qin Ziyin. The candlelight was swaying and the table was full of food. Su Qi'an enjoyed the warm feeling.
"Madam, you are so kind to me. When you come back this time, madam, our good days are not far away."
Qin Ziyin smiled and nodded, just pretending to be Su Qi'an's joke.
It's not that she doesn't trust Su Qi'an. To be honest, all the things Su Qi'an did after Su Qi'an was rescued moved Qin Ziyin's heart and gave him an indescribable sense of dependence.
She believes that as long as Su Qian prepares well for the exam, their good days will come once they reach high school.
Listening to Su Qian's chattering, Qin Ziyin was clearing away the leftovers on the table. After a while, a pair of warm hands surrounded Qin Ziyin from behind.
Su Qian's generous chest hugged Qin Ziyin, and a warm body temperature flowed. Qin Ziyin blushed and did not resist.
He just whispered, "Mr. sir, turn off the lights."
A gust of wind blew by, and the candlelight in the thatched house was extinguished, and then, a spring breeze was released again...
When the candlelight in the house was lit again, a bright moon hung high in the dark sky.
Su Qian put on her clothes, looked at Qin Ziyin who was sleeping soundly, and got out of bed quietly.
After a while, he walked out the door holding a long bow.
The moon is very bright tonight. Even if you are walking on the road, you can see several meters around you.
Su Qi'an went out so late not for hunting, but to try out his newly improved longbow.
I chose an open space, which was not far from Su Qi'an's home, about two or three miles. If anything happened, Su Qi'an could return as soon as possible.
The moonlight is shining in the sky. Although it is the cold winter season, it does not prevent Su Qi'an from shooting arrows. On the contrary, in this environment, Su Qi'an's heart becomes calmer.
Su Qi'an closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. With every breath she took, she gradually became one with the surrounding environment.
After a while, three sharp blasts of wind suddenly sounded in the silent air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three arrows were fired in volley. When Su Qi'an opened his eyes, the three arrows hit a thick tree in front of him accurately.
The three arrows are like a bunch. If they hit one point, the distance will be at least 70 steps.
The weak body has almost recovered gradually, and Su Qian's archery skills have almost returned to 80% of the level of his previous life.
Not long after the three arrows were shot, Su Qi'an's body moved like a rabbit, agile and constantly moving back and forth.
The arrows in his hands were shot towards the big tree in the distance one by one. The speed and accuracy were so fast that if Li Hu and the others were present, they would be stunned and stunned.
Because the arrow shot by Su Qian just now had already reached 80 steps, and it seemed that the distance was getting wider and wider.
Just when Su Qi'an shot a dozen arrows and the number of steps had expanded to 90 steps, Su Qi'an's constantly changing body stopped.
The long bow was nocked and an arrow was aimed at the dark space in front of the left. Su Qian's eyes were sharp and he shouted coldly.
"Friend, after watching it for so long, don't you plan to come out?"
But Su Qi'an's response was silent, and the finger on the bow was released without hesitation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three arrows, sharper than before, were shot towards the dark space at extremely fast speeds.
Three arrows were fired in volley, and a harsh metal collision suddenly sounded in the silent space, and then, a black shadow jumped out.
The moonlight shone brightly, and the person who came was tall, wearing black clothes and covering his face, so his appearance could not be clearly seen.
Holding a long knife in his hand, a cold murderous aura was slowly released.
Su Qi'an frowned slightly. Judging from the man's attire, he was probably not a bandit. Although bandits also had the same murderous aura, the look on this man's body made it clear that he was a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
The only people who can drive veterans are mostly government officials.
Su Qi'an's eyes flashed. In his opinion, there should be no enmity with the official family.
Even if he had a conflict with the Lingbei County government during the day, considering Master Liu's character, he really wanted to take action against Su Qi'an. Su Qi'an would have to die many times in Lingbei County.
I won't wait until I return to the village to do such a dirty thing.
The only possible explanation is that Su Qi'an unknowingly offended someone higher than the Lingbei County Magistrate.
As early as during the conversation with Master Liu during the day, Su Qi'an had already noticed that something was wrong. In order not to cause panic, Su Qi'an did not tell Li Hu, Zhao Da and others about this speculation.
Unexpectedly, what was supposed to come came anyway.
Although he didn't know who he had offended, it was absolutely impossible for Su Qi'an to be captured without restraint.
Su Qian's eyes were solemn and he touched the arrow basket with his fingers. Once the veteran on the opposite side made any move, he would be greeted with the sharpest attack.
Su Qi'an's thoughts naturally could not escape the eyes of the black-clothed veteran, and he chuckled.
