Archery of Gongshou Rivers and Mountains

Yang Kang tidied up his clothes and left the thatched hut. After walking a few steps, he saw a Taoist priest standing on the side of the road.

"Master." Yang Kang took two steps forward and bowed in salute.

Qiu Chuji flicked his whisk, turned to look at Yang Kang, and only after a while did he let him get up: "Get up... It seems that you have made up your mind."

Yang Kang stood up straight. Although the sky was dark at this time, Qiu Chuji was no longer impetuous and reckless as he was in the room just now. Instead, he was calm and unrestrained, with a bit of an old fairy air. Listening to his question, he probably already knew What did Yang Kang and Bao Xiruo say in the room—as for how they knew it...that is not the issue that should be paid attention to now: "Yes, Tuer has made up his mind"

Qiu Chuji sighed, and said, "Kang'er, don't act emotionally and impulsively, and you will leave a bad reputation forever!"

But Yang Kang smiled and said calmly: "Master, you are a monk and have no family, but you only worship the ancestors and don't respect the ancestors. But I am a layman, and I have to follow filial piety." Now no one knows that Yang Tiexin is still alive, so Yang Kang's father was only Wanyan Honglie who had raised him for 18 years. Filial piety is the righteousness of Confucianism. Even if Lao Tzu rebelled and his son denounced him, it would be nothing but fault.

Sure enough, Qiu Chuji was taken aback, and finally he just sighed: "You go." He didn't say anything else.

Yang Kang saluted and left in a hurry.

However, Yang Kang didn't go back to his room, nor went to look for Huang Rong, but went to Wanyan Honglie's study.

As he walked, he couldn't help thinking wildly—he wondered what Qiu Chuji was thinking. If he only wanted to find the orphan of the Yang family and raise him well, then when he found their mother and son, he should have taken them with him. go.Even if Qiu Chuji himself traveled around and couldn't take good care of the orphans and widows of the Yang family, then there is Quanzhen Sect, a big sect, two extra bowls, and two pairs of chopsticks are nothing.

But he still let the two of them be caught in the palace, to be the heir and the princess.And even though Yang Kang was admitted as a teacher, he didn't raise him much. Just like what Yang Kang said to Huang Rong, Wang Chuyi was more like a master.As a result, he was eighteen now, an adult, and all kinds of ideas had been fixed. It was time for Qiu Chuji to compete with others, and only then did the truth come to light.

Now that he was a sound-sounding adult who had already prepared himself, he still felt dizzy as if he had been hit with a sap.Not to mention the boy who was spoiled and raised...

Thinking that he had already arrived at Wanyan Honglie's study room, he still knocked on the door twice, and Wanyan Honglie allowed him to enter before he pushed the door open.

"Kang'er, did you know it was delivered so soon?" Before he could speak, Wanyan Honglie asked.

"Someone sent it?" Yang Kang was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was referring to Yang Tiexin, Mu Nianci, and Guo Jing, "Father, this matter was messed up by the child. It seems that the prefect of Dudan still wants to Crooked."

Yang Kang admitted his mistake on the face, but in his heart he didn't really admit it.With regard to the royal family, a slight misstep would be a catastrophe for the destruction of the family. Although Bao Xiruo's reputation might be bad if the news spread, but with Wanyan Honglie's protection, Bao Xiruo didn't leave the door. Damn it, Bao Xiruo's ears couldn't hear these dirty stories at all.Yang Kang is naturally a power of two evils, whichever is lesser.

"Forget it. You are used to fighting with swords and guns on the battlefield. I have never taught you this kind of private matter. How could you?" Wanyan Honglie patted Yang Kang on the shoulder and sighed.

Although Tu Dan Nanping said that he would definitely keep the secret, even if he would not say it, there are many people who have handled this matter, and it is not known who will leak it.It's also fortunate that Yang Kang asked people to come so early, otherwise more people would suffer, and the possibility of leakage would be greater.

Wanyan Honglie lowered his head and thought about how to deal with those three people. If he killed them immediately, it would be a murder to silence them. What was originally nothing to Bao Xiruo turned into nothing.But if they don't kill them... would they just let them go?How could Wanyan Honglie be reconciled?

"father."

"Huh?" Wanyan Honglie heard the call, raised his head, and saw Yang Kang knelt beside him at some point, "Kang'er, what are you doing? How could such a trivial matter make you like this?"

"Father, it's not for this matter." Although the two things seem to be related.

"Could it be because of your righteous sister?" Wanyan Honglie immediately looked at Yang Kang with an expression that all men know.

"Father, I just came back from my mother's place."

"What's wrong with your mother?" Upon hearing that Bao Xiruo was involved, Wanyan Honglie immediately became serious.

"My mother... told me something about what happened before I was born."

"..." There was a long silence, until Wanyan Honglie opened his mouth in a trembling voice, "Kang'er...your mother..." But after only saying these four words, his voice fell silent again.

Yang Kang raised his head, and saw Wanyan Honglie's face was blue and gray, his lips were pale, and his eyes were lax, like someone seriously ill. He walked up to Wanyan Honglie's knees and called out softly, "Father."

Wanyan Honglie was startled, and said with a sad smile, "You still call me daddy?"

"Apart from you, who else is my father?" Yang Kang sighed in his heart. This is actually his greed for wealth and honor. Yu Gong, if he wants to fulfill his long-cherished wish in this life, he can only be "Wanyan Kang", but he will never be able to. As Yang Kang, naturally, his father can only be Wanyan Honglie.Yu Ji, at his real age, he really couldn't call out his father to a stranger.

Just now his mother leaned on his shoulder and cried bitterly, and within a quarter of an hour, he was grabbed by his shoulder by his father.However, this time it was silent, but the shoulders gradually felt wet and cold.

Wanyan Honglie is the king of Zhao, but in his life, his favorite wife has always belonged to someone else, and his beloved son has always belonged to someone else. In the end, even the country has become someone else's...

After an unknown amount of time, Wanyan Honglie finally raised his head again, but his cheeks were clearly stained with tears, and his eyes were also red.Probably because he felt embarrassed in front of his son with such an appearance, he just met Yang Kang's eyes, and immediately rubbed his face with the palm of his hand, and then helped Yang Kang up: "Kang'er, get up quickly."

Yang Kang didn't resist, and followed Wanyan Honglie's strength to stand up.

"Your mother...why would you tell this to you?"

"The child doesn't know, but the master and uncle are here, and the master said that I have grown up, so I should know some things." He simply told him what Bao Xiruo and Qiu Chuji told him not long ago, one by one. Talk about Wanyan Honglie.

"Bang!" Wanyan Honglie slapped the table and stood up on the spot, "Qiu! Chu! Machine! I shouldn't have let you worship him as a teacher back then!" Fortunately, Wanyan Honglie was young and in good health, otherwise today's exciting It is not an exaggeration to say that it will make him crooked in anger.

"Father, don't get so angry, this matter... Qiu Chuji should still know how to measure it." Counting all the people who know the truth now and will know the truth soon, Qiu Chuji is definitely the one who knows how to measure it.

"My lord! My son!" Before Yan Honglie could say anything, a guard outside suddenly shouted, "There are assassins!"

"Send someone to protect the concubine!" Wanyan Honglie got up immediately and walked out. Yang Kang followed behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart—just now he only blamed Qiu Chuji, but he seemed to have forgotten Bao Xiwei. , and he only thought about his princess. With such affection, if the two love each other, it is naturally good.But if Luohua intends to flow ruthlessly, then...

The father and son left the study, and the guard approached to explain the current situation.It turned out that six men and women dressed as Jianghu people broke into the palace, and now they are fighting with the guest ministers and guards in the palace.

"What did these people take my Prince Zhao's Mansion for?! Send the order down, no need to ask any more questions, and be killed on the spot!" Wanyan Honglie is now full of anger, and these people naturally hit the muzzle of the gun.However, although Wanyan Honglie was aggressive, Yang Kang frowned. These six people, especially the blind man with a cane, sounded familiar to Yang Kang. They were Guo Jing's master, called the Six Immortals of Peach Valley... No, they were called Jiangnan. Of the six monsters... (Actually, it was seven monsters, and one of them has already died, but Yang Kang's memory is also blurred.)

"Father, I'll go and see."

Wanyan Honglie hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Be careful, I'll go see your mother."

Wanyan Honglie left in a hurry. Compared to himself, Yang Kang was more worried about him. After all, his father's martial arts were too poor, and the people who came here tonight were all masters of martial arts. If this happens...

But on the other side, he couldn't help but look at it.After all, Qiu Chuji was also in the mansion, if he and the others were indeed Guo Jing's masters, it would be no wonder that nothing happened when the two sides met.

Yang Kang hurried to a small courtyard, the fighting had stopped, but not because of the assassins.

Sure enough, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi came, along with three strangers, a man and a woman, a blind man with a crutch, a short fat man with a whip, a woodcutter with a pole, and a woman with a sword.Except for the woodcutter, the other three were pointing at Qiu Chuji and cursing, generally saying "hypocrite", "knowing that your apprentice can't compare with us, then do something wrong" and so on.As for Ouyang Ke, Master Lingzhi, Hou Haitong of the Three-headed Jiao, Old Monster Shenxian and other guests of the palace, they stood aside, obviously looking at the show from their expressions.

"What's going on?" Yang Kang pretended to be puzzled, and asked the leader of the guards beside him with a frown.

"First of all, the group of guest lords, otherwise we will do it, and rush up to fight the assassin alone, and the fight is halfway. Qiu Daochang and Wang Daochang came, and then... that's it." The leader of the guards looked helpless and aggrieved.

Yang Kang is also depressed, this is the difference between a soldier and a person in the rivers and lakes.Although they are all "Wu" people, their ideas are completely different.People in Jianghu pay attention to fighting alone, and the competition is based on the level of personal martial arts. The more you fight the less, bullying the weak, unless you are facing demons and heretics, otherwise it is a very embarrassing thing.As for the soldiers, there has never been a situation where "you have fewer troops than me, go back and call for enough manpower, and we will fight again."

"Aren't there six people, and two more?"

"It's a guy who looks like a poor scholar, and someone who looks like a small businessman. They went in another direction at the beginning. There's no news about what's going on now."

"Up arrow."

"Ok?"

"Up arrow!"

"Yes!" The leader immediately regained his spirits, and the guards in the palace had already been waiting in full force, but no matter whether it was the guests, or Naqiu and Wang, they all had higher status than them, so they could only watch from the sidelines. .

All the guards bent their bows and set their arrows, and opened their postures. Everyone in the field, except for the blind man, could naturally see clearly.Ouyang Ke waited for a group of guests to retreat to the side immediately, and a short fat man pointed a whip in his hand at Qiu Chuji and yelled: "You are so stupid! You are really not a good person! You said so many words, but..."

"shoot!"

Qiu Chuji naturally also saw Yang Kang coming. He thought he was still standing in the field, although Yang Kang ordered the guards to shoot arrows, he probably just put on a show and would not attack him together.Therefore, while consoling the four monsters in the field, he asked Wang Chuyi to come over and explain the situation, who knew that Yang Kang had already given the order.

There are no more than a few dozen guards in the royal palace here, although they can't be considered to be firing all arrows, but the terrain in the courtyard is narrow, and the guards are all using iron arrows and strong bows. With the current distance, even a buffalo can shoot straight through. , let alone people.

The shouting and cursing in the courtyard stopped immediately, even Qiu Chuji hurriedly avoided.But the short fat man was unwilling to let Qiu Chuji leave, so he dodged the arrow and stretched out his long arms to grab his Taoist robe.When he was about to grab this hand, he heard the sound of the wind, and another arrow shot straight at his chest.The fat man turned sideways, and brushed past his chest dangerously, but his expression remained the same, and he took a quick step, still going to grab Qiu Chuji's Taoist robe.But before this step was solid, the fat man felt a pain in his left shoulder: "Ouch!"

When he yelled, his body stopped, and two more arrows hit his right shoulder and left thigh, and they all passed through with a pile of flesh and blood!

"Third brother!" "Old third!" A man and a woman with discerning eyes exclaimed, even the blind man heard the fat man's exclamation.

The woman who was close to the fat man wanted to go to rescue her, but just as she took a step, another arrow passed her nose, but the sound of the wind came again, she hurriedly raised her head to dodge, and the faster arrow was already heading towards her neck, this time She could only continue to tilt her head back, and simply came to an iron bridge. Before she could get up, an arrow had already pierced her thigh.

The woman was in so much pain that she couldn't even cry out, she fell to the ground in the same body.

"Third, fourth, seventh sister, what's going on?"

"Brother, there is me."

"Sinister! Don't stop!"

It turned out that everyone saw clearly now that although many people shot arrows, there was only one person who injured them - Yang Kang.It turned out that he did not know when he also took a bow and a pot of arrows and stood beside the guards.

While dodging the arrows, the man who looked like a woodcutter rushed towards Yang Kang.Yang Kang, however, looked calm, and stretched out his hand to grab into the quiver. Except for the thumb and forefinger on his left hand, there were no arrows between the other four fingers. It looked like a big fan at first glance. , It's really beautiful.

He put these arrows on the bow in this way, he didn't see how hard he was, but he just pulled it lightly, and the bow stretched like a full moon.

The woodcutter had already picked up his fine iron pole, and he could beat Yang Kang to death with just two more steps, but he couldn't make it through just these two steps.
