Zheng Shicai rushed to the front with a knife, followed closely by Zheng Yi and Zheng Bo.
Since the light in the forest was dark, Zheng Yi was also very confident in his archery skills. He did not hold the bow at this time, but held it casually in his hand.
Zhang San endured the pain, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he lay motionless in the grass. Hearing the approaching footsteps, his heartbeat continued to accelerate.
From the sound of footsteps, Zhang San estimated that there were only two or three people, which gave him a stronger desire to survive.
But Zhang San didn't dare to move, fearing that his movements would put the enemy on guard.
He had no choice but to wait quietly for the enemy to approach him, so as to catch him by surprise.
Close, close.
Zhang San silently prayed to himself in his heart. Just when Zheng Shicai was about to approach him, Zhang San instantly got up from the ground and immediately pulled the trigger.
Zheng Shicai broke out in a cold sweat when he saw that Zhang San was not dead, and was still holding a crossbow in his hand. However, he was too close to Zhang San at this time, and there was no way to avoid the crossbow arrows fired at him.
As soon as he said it, Uncle Zheng behind him shouted: "Mr. Lang, be careful."
Then Uncle Zheng knocked Zheng Shicai away, and the crossbow arrow instantly hit Uncle Zheng.
Zheng Shicai didn't care about Uncle Zheng's life or death. He rolled over on the ground and hid behind a tree.
When Zhang San saw that the person who wanted to assassinate him turned out to be Zheng Shicai, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. Of course, this was not the time to think about this.
When Zheng Yi saw Zhang San getting up, he was about to draw his bow in a panic, but how could the bow and arrow react as quickly as Zhang San's hand crossbow, and the distance was so close.
At the moment when Uncle Zheng fell, Zhang San calmly shot two arrows at Zheng Yi who was behind him.
Although Zheng Yi dodged one arrow, another arrow that followed was not so lucky and hit Zheng Yi's chest.
Ever since his little sister's accident, Zhang San has been practicing using his hand crossbow when he has nothing to do. At this time, he can not say that he is always hitting the target, but at such a close range, he can almost make sure the arrows are in vain.
Zheng Shicai was filled with fear when he saw Zhang San finish off the two people on his side at once.
Without Zheng Yi as his helper, it seemed very difficult for Zheng Shicai to escape from Zhang San who was holding a crossbow, let alone kill Zhang San.
After all, Zheng Shicai turned out to be just a young man from an aristocratic family, and he was very disdainful of sword-wielding.
Blood was still flowing on Zhang San's arm, but seeing that he had killed two people, Zhang San felt a little relieved.
"Zheng Shicai, we have no grievances, why do you want to kill me?" Zhang San leaned against a tree and shouted to Zheng Shicai, who was also hiding behind the tree.
"No injustice or enmity? Zhang San, my Zheng family ended up like this all because of you, and you actually said it had nothing to do with you?" Zheng Shicai hid behind the tree, carefully guarding Zhang San with a knife.
Zhang San also had little martial arts skills, so he did not dare to act rashly, fearing that Zheng Shicai might have another move.
"You, the Zheng family, have brought it upon themselves. Besides, the emperor has surpassed your family. What does it matter to me?" Zhang San was also speechless. Is this considered an innocent shooting?
Of course, it doesn't make sense to say that it really has nothing to do with him. How can he say that the evidence of the Zheng family's liaison with other countries was Zhang San's chance to catch it.
"Li Shimin, I will seek revenge on him, but before that I have to kill you, the culprit." Zheng Shicai gasped and said angrily.
"It's just you. I still have a hand crossbow in my hand. You can't kill me. How about this? I'll let you go and we'll be even. How about that?" Zhang San didn't want to fight the desperate Zheng Shicai.
Thinking about how to get out of here safely.
"Let me go? I am the son of the Zheng family and I don't need pity like you, a farm boy." Zheng Shicai would not be so naive as to believe that Zhang San would be so kind as to let him go.
Zhang San was also worried that if he turned around and left, he was afraid that Zheng Shicai would shoot him behind the scenes.
But if he rushed forward, he didn't know if he could shoot Zheng Shicai. After all, the key to why he went so smoothly just now was that he was caught by surprise.
At this time, Zheng Shicai was already on guard. Besides, he was hiding behind the tree and couldn't find a suitable angle.
Zhang San didn't want to take risks, but he was very anxious. After all, he had also been hit by an arrow. Although it was not a critical injury, he was still bleeding, and it really hurt.
If I had known earlier, I would have peed on the roadside, but now I am fine. My horse is on the roadside, and there is still a short distance to get here.
While Zhang San was talking to Zheng Shicai, he slowly moved out of the forest. At the same time, he looked around to see if Zheng Shicai had any hidden helpers.
"Zheng Shicai, you are so depressed now. I still have some broken silver in my arms. I will give it to you. How about we call it quits and make peace? I promise not to report it to the official." Zhang San had already moved more than ten meters away.
"Tian Shelang, I don't need your charity. I still have my helpers in the mountains and forests. Just wait to die and don't think about escaping from here." Zheng Shicai also wanted to give up at this time, so he threatened Zhang Sandao.
"Haha, what a liar. If you had help, why would you still be hiding behind a tree?" Zhang San said he didn't believe it, but his eyes were looking around, and he also found a big tree to hide in.
"If you don't believe it, just stand up and try it. If you didn't have a crossbow in your hand, you would have become a dead body by now." Zheng Shicai used the same tactics as Zhang San, confusing the other party while thinking about how to escape.
go.
Zhang San didn't dare to try. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.
At this time, Zhang San waited for the sky to get completely dark before preparing to escape. Zheng Shicai was more eager than Zhang San for it to get dark as soon as possible.
Then I can escape under cover of night.
Unfortunately, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the official road outside.
Zhang San and Zheng Shicai were both nervous. Zhang San was afraid that the person coming was Zheng Shicai's helping hand. Zheng Shicai was also worried that Zhang San would shout and disturb passers-by.
At this time both sides fell into a brief silence.
"Stop, it's Sir Alex's horse. Where is Sir Alex's horse?"
Suddenly Zhang Fu's voice came from the official road. Zhang San felt that Zhang Fu's voice sounded like an angel.
When Zheng Shicai heard the man calling him Lord, he howled in his heart. He didn't care whether Zhang San was holding a hand crossbow and fled deep into the dense forest.
"Zhang Fu, I'm here. Be careful. Someone wants to kill me. It's Zheng Shicai. I don't know if anyone else is inside besides him..." Zhang San shouted towards the official road, reminding Zhang Fu at the same time.
When Zhang Fu heard this, he was so frightened that someone was ambushing here and wanted to kill the prince.
Fortunately, when Zhang Fu came, he asked Zhang Fugui to send him a dozen people.
"Sir, please hide, we are here to rescue you." Zhang Fu led the escort and ran in the direction where Zhang San's voice came from.
"Sir, are you injured?" Zhang Fu came to Zhang San and saw that Zhang San had been hit on the shoulder, and asked with great concern.
"I'm fine. You guys hurry up and chase Zheng Shicai. He must have ran inside. Be careful. I don't know if there are any of his accomplices here." Seeing Zhang Fu bringing a dozen escorts, Zhang San
At this point I felt completely relieved.
At the same time, for Zheng Shicai who wanted to kill him, Zhang San did not want to let the tiger return to the mountains and play hide-and-seek with the escort in the dense forest. Zhang San wanted to say that you are both brothers.
"The five of you will escort the lord back, you two will report to the official, and the others will follow me. The Zheng family is such a bastard, I can't believe that someone else has slipped through the net." Zhang Fu said cursingly.
"Be careful, safety first. There are two people he brought over there. They were shot by me. I don't know if they are still alive." Zhang San warned.
"Okay, Sir, I'll leave this place to you. You can go back and heal your wounds first." After Zhang Fu said that, he led the remaining people into the dense forest.
Zhang San was escorted by three members of the escort team, carefully evacuated the mountain forest, and then rushed to Zhangjiacun.
