Chapter 394 If you don’t take action now, I will cross the river!
Xiang Qiaohe sat next to Ye Changkai and said, "Since Brother Ye has the leisure time, I will accompany you."
"Oh!" Ye Changkai looked at him in surprise, "Brother Xiang, aren't you afraid that someone else will get there first?"
"If you are not afraid, why should I be afraid?" Xiang Qiaohe said.
"Hahaha~ Interesting, interesting~" Ye Changkai laughed.
So what if you get there first?
If you want to get the Jade Dew Peach, not everyone who kills Yang Zhengshan can get it, but whoever hands over Yang Zhengshan’s head to Shanhe Tower can get the bounty from Shanhe Tower.
Therefore, there is no point in being the first to arrive; the real key is to wait and see.
……
In an inconspicuous house in Xinglong City.
Luo Jinsong and Sun Chunsheng sat opposite each other with indifferent expressions.
Both of them are from the Xingyue Sect, but in fact they are not familiar with each other.
Luo Jinsong is the head of Yuhengxing Hall, one of the Seven Star Halls, and Sun Chunsheng is the sword-wielding guardian of the main hall.
The status of the Sword-wielding Guardian in the headquarters is somewhat similar to that of a guest official. Although his status and position are high, he does not control real power.
So Luo Jinsong was not very afraid of Sun Chunsheng.
There is no hierarchical relationship between the two, nor is there any difference in status.
However, Sun Chunsheng came from the headquarters after all, and he came with orders from the headquarters, so Luo Jinsong still obeyed the orders of the headquarters.
"Yang Zhengshan is a very powerful man, and he is also the general of Chongshan Town. You want to kill him, have you considered the consequences?" Luo Jinsong asked.
"I've considered it, but this Jade Dew Peach is very important to the headquarters!" Sun Chunsheng said indifferently.
"How important is it?" Luo Jinsong asked.
"More important than Yuheng Star Hall!" said Sun Chunsheng.
Luo Jinsong's face darkened.
It is more important than Yuheng Xingtang. Doesn’t that mean the headquarters can sacrifice Yuheng Xingtang for Yulu Lingtao?
Although he had such a guess before, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart when he heard Sun Chunsheng's words.
However, he did not argue with Sun Chunsheng because it was meaningless.
Sun Chunsheng was only the sword-bearing guardian of the headquarters, and he was only following the orders of the headquarters, but he could not influence the orders of the headquarters.
"I understand. I will help you get the Jade Dew Peach!" Luo Jinsong said coldly.
Then he got up and left.
He was completely disappointed with the headquarters. He had been constantly disappointed with the headquarters since five years ago.
The Seven Stars Hall is just a tentacles of the main hall to collect gold and silver. The main hall does not care about the life or death of the Seven Stars Hall at all.
For so many years, they have been working hard to meet the needs of the headquarters, but in return they got nothing but a result that could be easily sacrificed.
If the main hall no longer has the Yuheng Star Hall, a new one can be built at any time.
But if he no longer has the Yuheng Star Hall, can he build another one?
Without the Yuheng Star Hall, whether he can survive is another matter.
……
On the banks of the Ru River.
The sound of horse hooves crushed the dazzling glow of the sunset.
At the riverside pier, many warriors in various attire were looking at the cavalry galloping towards them.
As the distance got closer, the warriors on the dock gradually became noisy.
"That's Yang Zhengshan?"
"It should be. It is said that Yang Zhengshan is tall and strong, with an extraordinary bearing. After seeing him today, the rumors are indeed true!"
"Haha, I heard that General Yang is very murderous. In the battle in the north five years ago, General Yang led only a thousand cavalrymen to slaughter more than 100,000 Hu bandits. A few months ago, General Yang burned tens of thousands of Wuliang Hu cavalrymen to death at Guanshan Pass!"
"Among the generals in the border towns, this General Yang is definitely a wise and brave general!"
Many warriors looked at Yang Zhengshan who was running towards them and talked a lot.
As the news of the Shanhe Tower Golden List spread, Yang Zhengshan's name also became widely known in the martial arts world. In just a dozen days, Yang Zhengshan seemed to be a name that everyone in the world knew.
"I don't know if General Yang can escape this disaster! I heard that many people are eyeing General Yang's bounty!"
"There are always some people in this world who disregard the righteousness of the country and are only interested in profit!"
There are also heroes in the world.
Not all martial artists in the world are the kind of people who are immoral for the sake of their own cultivation.
There are also many martial artists in the martial arts world who value family and country and serve the country and the people.
Generals like Yang Zhengshan, who guard the border for the dynasty and the people, are also respected by many martial artists.
However, at this time, Yang Zhengshan did not know what the martial artists around him were thinking. He rode his horse calmly and came to the pier on the bank of the Ru River.
This pier is located to the north of Xinglong Prefecture, less than three hundred miles away from the border of Shuntian Prefecture.
Now Yang Zhengshan is about to cross the dock and head to Xinglong City.
However, just as Yang Zhengshan was about to enter the dock, his heart suddenly jumped, and then a sharp arrow suddenly attacked him.
"General, be careful!" The personal attendant who had been on high alert quickly reminded him when he heard the sound of breaking air.
Yang Zhengshan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly stretched out his hands and clasped them in front of his chest.
The next moment, a dark black feather arrow appeared in his hand.
Looking at the feather arrow, Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes slightly.
What's coming is finally here!
But it’s time for him to come. If he doesn’t come now, he will enter Shuntian Prefecture.
If he entered the territory of Shuntian Prefecture, he might be attacked and killed by martial artists. That would mean he was not taking the imperial court seriously.
"You guys step back!" Yang Zhengshan looked up and forward and said lightly.
"General!" the attendants said nervously.
Yang Zhengshan raised the feather arrow in his hand and said, "Back off!"
"Here!"
The twenty followers had no choice but to obey Yang Zhengshan's orders and drive their horses away from Yang Zhengshan.
But Yang Zhengshan was looking at the warriors and laborers on the dock.
The pier in front of us is not small. After all, this is the official road leading to Xinglong Prefecture City. The function of this pier is to serve as an important channel connecting the north and south banks of the Ruhe River.
Although there is more than one official road leading to Beijing after entering Shanhe Province, this official road should be the one with the most pedestrians, so this dock also appears to be very busy.
At this time, many boatmen and coolies were busy moving goods at the dock, and many martial artists were standing or sitting on the boats, looking at Yang Zhengshan by the river.
Not far behind Yang Zhengshan, there were many martial artists following him.
The martial artists behind him had been following him for a long time, all the way from Xinping Town to here.
Yang Zhengshan took a casual glance and found that there were no less than a thousand martial artists around him, including many with extraordinary bearing.
As for the archers!
Yang Zhengshan looked at a building ship on the dock platform. A slightly thin figure was standing on the mast of the building ship.
"Since you've already made your move, don't hide anymore, come out!"
"Hahaha, if you don't take action now, I'm going to cross the river!"
Yang Zhengshan threw the feather arrow in his hand aside and laughed out loud.
His laughter echoed between heaven and earth, giving people a sense of heroic power, which instantly made the martial artists around who were joining in the fun become enthusiastic.
"As expected of a general who can charge into battle, he is truly heroic!" someone praised.
"General Yang is mighty!" Some people were still cheering for Yang Zhengshan.
A martial artist!
It’s important to watch the fun, no matter how big the event!
Some people wanted to kill Yang Zhengshan, some people admired Yang Zhengshan, but more people just wanted to join in the fun.
What do martial artists like most?
That's watching masters fight!
Normally, whenever a master challenges someone to a fight, countless martial artists will come to watch.
This time, Yang Zhengshan was on the Shanhe Tower Gold List, and the bounty was a Jade Dew Peach. Naturally, this would attract many masters to come and kill Yang Zhengshan, so it also attracted a large number of martial artists from the martial arts world to come and watch.
"That's Tong Jiuxin, the archer who can shoot through a willow tree at a hundred paces!" A martial artist called out the name of the archer.
Tong Jiuxin is a master who has just become famous in the martial arts world. His archery skills are unrivaled and he is famous in the martial arts world. He can shoot an arrow and hit the willow leaf from a hundred steps away, so he is named "Hundred Steps Through the Willow".
However, Tong Jiuxin has always been a mysterious person. Even the Secret Guards could not track his whereabouts. Therefore, no one expected that he would be the first to attack Yang Zhengshan.
Tong Jiuxin looked at the arrow feather thrown away by Yang Zhengshan, and his eyes flashed suddenly.
His arrow that was sure to hit the target was actually caught easily by Yang Zhengshan, which was really beyond his expectation.
However, he did not give up the idea of assassinating Yang Zhengshan. His body flashed and he flew down from the mast like a roc. In mid-air, he flipped over and a whooshing sound was heard. A sharp arrow shot straight at Yang Zhengshan.
Yang Zhengshan's mouth curled up slightly. After waiting for so long, he finally met a decent opponent.
But unfortunately, he was just an expert with arrows, which made him somewhat disappointed.
Yang Zhengshan jumped up from the horse's back. The next moment, he held the gun in one hand and snatched a pistol from under the saddle with the other hand. He raised his sleeve and the pistol shot out.
Arrows flew towards him, and Yang Zhengshan was in mid-air, waving his spear and knocking the arrows away with a clang.
On the battlefield, the most common weapon is arrows.
Yang Zhengshan has never been afraid of arrows. The reason is very simple. The power of arrows is limited and is not enough to threaten him.
The power of an arrow does not depend on the strength of the archer, but on the power of the bow and crossbow.
The heavier the bow, the stronger the arrow it shoots.
However, most of the bows on the battlefield were one-stone or two-stone bows, and only a few had more than three stones.
As for heavier bows, they are even rarer.
Tong Jiuxin's bow should be more than three stones, but even so, it still cannot pose a threat to Yang Zhengshan.
Yang Zhengshan could easily dodge or deflect the incoming arrows.
In comparison, the pistol thrown by Yang Zhengshan was extremely powerful.
