() Zhou Jingxuan's face darkened, as if a layer of frost had covered his face, and he shouted, "Put down your bows and arrows! Shiying, this silver fox was clearly one of their targets. Do you, a young hero, have to use your strength to snatch it away?"
"
Xiao Shiying put down his bow and arrow helplessly, snorted coldly, and said, "A few little bastards have taken advantage of us, why should we be polite to them? If we hadn't gone through all the trouble and chased them for a day and a night, just a few of them could have hunted Silver
Fox? I can’t even touch a hair on it.”
Zhou Jingxuan apologized and said, "My brother is a little impatient. We have been played by this silver fox all day and night, and we are angry in our hearts. Please forgive me for what I just offended. Brother Fang said five hundred taels of silver, which is true."
It's a very fair price. But we went hunting in the mountains and didn't bring much money with us. I have fifty taels of silver here. If Brother Fang doesn't mind, you can use it as a deposit first. When we get back to town, I will transfer the remaining silver taels.
Here you go, do you think this is good?"
Xiongdan said, "You can't fool us. You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. If you don't have enough money, then come to Qingniu Village to find us after you have enough money. And you'd better hurry up. If it's late, someone else may pay the price."
Gao, maybe we’ll sell it.”
Xiao Shiying was about to have another attack, Zhou Jingxuan reached out to stop him, took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket, respectfully presented it to Fang Ping, and said, "In that case, please accept Brother Fang as a deposit. When you return,
After collecting the silver, we will immediately come to Qingniu Village to redeem the silver fox."
Fang Ping glanced at Xiao Shiying and said, "You can also let me accept the deposit. However, I have one condition. Since you said that you were the one who hunted this silver fox, then you must at least show your hands to prove that you are
I do have the ability to hunt silver foxes, so I can sell them to you at half price, don’t you think so?"
Xiao Shiying jumped up immediately, "Are you saying that you want to compete with me in bow and arrow? Okay, then I will show you. Bows and arrows have no eyes. If you accidentally lose your life, don't blame me."
Zhou Jingxuan laughed loudly and said proudly, "Since Brother Fang has made this proposal, we have no reason to refuse, otherwise we will make Brother Fang look down on him. However, we are destined to meet each other today and cannot hurt our friendship, so a competition is absolutely impossible.
Shiying, show your hands to Brother Fang and others."
Xiao Shiying shook his head, "I'm not a monkey trick, so why should I show my hands to them? If he is not afraid of death, he will compete with me with real swords and guns. Whether he lives or dies depends on his ability."
Fang Ping laughed, "Since you don't want to show off your skills, then I have to compete with you. But Brother Zhou said it's not harmful to our friendship, and we don't have to fight for our lives. In this way, we each shoot three arrows, and I
You will do whatever you want to do. If you can follow these three arrows, I will give you this silver fox without taking any of it."
When Xiao Shiying heard this, he immediately became happy. Several other followers also had a look of pride on their faces. For this hunting trip, Xiao Shiying was the archer they specially invited from the mercenary union. Fang Ping said that he would follow him
If you compete in archery, wouldn't it be like running into a knife's edge?
"If I lose, I will lose these hands to you." Xiao Shiying said nonchalantly.
Zhou Jingxuan frowned and said, "Shiying, you should think carefully about your bet."
Xiao Shiying waved his hand, "What's there to consider? Don't I still know those people within a hundred miles of Lishui Town who are better than me in magic? How could I lose to this bastard?"
Fang Ping smiled, "What do I need your hands for? It's not pig's trotters? If by chance I win, just call me master."
Xiao Shiying said carelessly, "If you can really beat me, I would be willing to call you Grandpa, not just Master. Is this possible? Stop talking nonsense and start quickly."
Fang Ping didn't say anything. He bent his bow and fired an arrow. The arrow shot out and nailed a tree trunk a hundred steps away.
"Good archery skills!"
It was the look of adoration on his face that surprised Xiao Shiying and others.
"You idiot with big breasts and no brains, what's so great about this archery skill." A follower behind Zhou Jingxuan muttered in a low voice, with a look of disdain on his face. He is also a man, no matter what, looking at
A beautiful woman cheers for another man, but she always feels unhappy in her heart.
"Please." Fang Ping made an invitation gesture.
"That's it?" Xiao Shiying's face suddenly showed disdain. It would be really ridiculous if Fang Ping regarded this as a difficult thing to challenge him.
Xiao Shiying walked to Fang Ping's side, bent his bow and arrow, and without much aim, shot out an arrow and nailed it under Fang Ping's arrow.
Fang Ping nodded, "Not bad." He said, walked forward with a smile, pulled out both arrows, and walked back to the original place.
Fang Ping bent his bow and arrow again, aimed at the branch, and shot out an arrow.
"Whoosh", the arrow traced a perfect trajectory in the air and nailed into the branch again.
"Isn't this the same? What is this guy doing?" Some whispering voices sounded.
"What a great archery! It's amazing!"
The followers all looked at Fang Ping with jealous eyes.
He Qi noticed Xuanxuan's eyes looking at Fang Ping. She looked a little sad and lowered her head. He could feel that Xuanxuan was not just showing off to those people. What was contained in Xuanxuan's eyes was
The kind of sincere admiration that comes from the heart.
He Qi's thoughts swirled for a while, and then he began to feel relieved. He and Fang Ping were once brothers who wore the same pants, but since the past few days, Fang Ping seemed to have changed, and gradually became someone he needed to look up to.
.This change started when Fang Ping knocked down Fang Wei with one punch and forced him to apologize to Xuanxuan. Although he understood that the brotherly relationship will never change, in He Qi's heart, Fang Ping's image has become taller and taller.
, and became a person that was beyond his reach.
Nowadays, Xiongdan is loyal to Fang Ping and works hard without complaint. It is normal for Xuanxuan to fall in love with him. And what about him? No matter how Fang Ping changes, he will always be his brother. Even if one day Fang Ping does something
Emperor, he will definitely give him a Taiping official position, making him prestigious. He Qi knew that he and Xuanxuan had little hope in the first place, and everything in the past was just his wishful thinking. Now Xuanxuan has her own heart.
His brothers are soaring to the sky again, isn't he happy for them?
He Qi was not the kind of person with a narrow mind, so after a brief moment of disappointment, he immediately yelled, "Okay!" This was a good sentence, and the sound was like thunder, which shocked everyone.
This sound shocked Fang Ping. If it had been in the past, he would have felt that something was wrong with the string in his head and roared again. However, after being reborn, his thoughts became much more delicate. Fang Ping looked at He Qi in laughter.
With a faint expression of disappointment, his eyes were scanning Xuanxuan's side intentionally or unintentionally. Looking at Xuanxuan's heart-pounding admiration eyes towards him, Fang Ping understood what was going on.
Something happened.
"Brother, I'm sorry. Emotional matters cannot be forced, and I can only let them take their own course." Fang Ping pursed his lips and said in his heart. He and Xuanxuan looked at each other, and Xuanxuan's bright eyes looked at him.
He smiled sweetly, and that bright smile was like the sunshine in the early spring, which made his heart rumble, and all his thoughts melted quickly like lingering snow, becoming empty and transparent.
Zhou Jingxuan and others did not understand the subtle emotions in the hearts of Fang Ping, He Qi and Xuanxuan at this moment. Xiao Shiying stared closely at the arrow shot by Fang Ping, and his eyes gradually narrowed. His fingers tightened
Holding the arrow tightly, he gradually drew the bow to full capacity. However, he never fired the arrow. After a while, layers of fine sweat beads seeped out from his forehead and ran along his face.
As it flowed down, he gradually saw clearly the beauty of Fang Ping's arrow. Fang Ping's arrow shot into the hole of the first arrow.
It is not impossible for a top archer to accurately shoot the second arrow into the hole of the first arrow from a distance of a hundred steps. However, what if the arrow hole is still in the tree?
If it is difficult to see clearly under the shade or a hundred paces away, then that is a different matter.
Seeing that Xiao Shiying was hesitant and delayed in shooting the arrow, the people on his side gradually realized that Fang Ping's arrow was not as simple as it seemed. When understanding Fang Ping's general
After the second arrow shot into the hole of the first arrow, there was a sound of exclamation. A slight gasp of cold air came from several people. With their eyesight, even if they could clearly see the dark tree trunk,
The arrow holes were not good, let alone the shot. Only then did they understand that Xuanxuan was not blindly touting Fang Ping's archery skills, which were truly amazing.
Xiao Shiying took aim for a long time, his lips pursed into a line. Finally, his face turned pale, he let go and shot the arrow. After shooting the arrow, he turned his head away, not daring to look at the trajectory of the arrow.
"Buzz", the arrow was heavily nailed into the tree trunk, and the arrow feathers buzzed. Someone rushed over to check, and then cheered, "It's hit! It's hit!"
It wasn't until he heard the cheers from his entourage that Xiao Shiying dared to turn around. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his solemn expression relaxed slightly. There was already a lot of respect in his eyes when he looked at Fang Ping. He was a practitioner.
A man of arrows will naturally have an extraordinary respect for the master archer. Although he has a bad temper and an impatient temper, he has always been submissive to those who are stronger than him. Otherwise, Zhou Jingxuan would not be able to control him.
he.
"Not bad." Fang Ping said calmly and raised the horn bow in his hand again. This faint sound of "good" was already a great compliment to Xiao Shiying.
