Sword from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 133 The Mysterious Young Master Zhou (Happy Children's Day!)
Seeing this, Feng Ge became curious, as he and Fang Zetao were old friends.

Master Fang had been dealing with Pegasus Ranch for more than a year and a half, and he had met the ranch's four stewards, head steward, and the two elders, Peng and He.

This young man's martial arts skills are clearly superior to theirs, so why doesn't the master mention it at all?
However, it's normal for a ranch to have some hidden history.

"I am of poor eyesight and do not know how to address you, my friend?"

Zhou Yi already knew that Li Mi's men were near Jingling City, and since the score hadn't been settled yet, he didn't want to scare away any important figures among them.

Therefore, he concealed his identity slightly: "General Feng, my surname is Zhou."

week?
Pegasus Ranch has had seven owners, all of whom were from the Shang family. The others were from various other families, including Liang, Liu, Tao, Wu, Xu, and Luo, but none were from the Zhou family.

Chen Ruiyang noticed Feng Ge's confusion, took two steps closer, and lowered his voice to say:

"General Feng, you may not know this, but Young Master Zhou is someone that my farm owner values ​​highly."

Chen Ruiyang pronounced the word "extremely" very clearly, and Feng Ge immediately misunderstood when she saw his look.

A second glance at Zhou Yi deepened the misunderstanding.

People in the martial arts world near Jingling all know that the ranch owner sits high in Feima Mountain City. Despite his unparalleled beauty, he is only aloof and self-admiring.

That's it
It's not appropriate to ask further about that, so Feng Ge cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

"Bandits are rampant now, and powerful thieves are emerging one after another. You may come with me to Jingling City. Tomorrow I will send someone to escort you back to Nanjun. Please also send a letter to the farm owner so that he knows that even though Master Fang is not here, our alliance has never been broken."

Lou Ruodan quickly clasped her hands in thanks: "Thank you very much, we will certainly convey General Feng's kind intentions."

The army set off, torches held aloft like a long dragon.

From the south of Fenchuan, heading slightly west.

Half past midnight, the city walls and ramparts of the prefecture began to appear in the distance.

Along the way, Zhou Yi listened to Feng Ge and Lou Chen's conversation and gradually learned about the current situation in Jingling County.

At the same time, he also understood Feng Ge's thoughts.

This old general inherited the will of the Fang family lord, on the one hand stabilizing the county town to prevent bandits, and on the other hand waiting for a wise ruler to appear so that he could submit to his command and save Jingling from the calamity of war.

He also has a nephew named Feng Han in the city.

The two shared the same idea: they did not want to declare themselves kings and rebel.

Qian Yun, another general in charge of troops within the city, was quite shrewd.

They were not on good terms before, and now there are even more conflicts.

"We've arrived!"

The middle-aged man beside Feng Ge rode forward and shouted towards the city wall. Upon hearing this, the garrison commander immediately directed the lowering of the drawbridge from the five-zhang-high city wall.

However.
Before the group even entered the city, they suddenly heard a loud chorus of footsteps echoing through the city.

The city gate tower was illuminated by torches!
One group after another poured out, each man wielding a gun and halberd; judging by their numbers, they were clearly more numerous than the men Feng Ge had brought.

A middle-aged man in armor, riding a black horse, followed behind the gun formation.

Feng Ge's expression was quite unpleasant: "General Qian, what do you mean?"

Qian Yundao:
"I just don't want to see you do anything wrong. The people from Pegasus Ranch killed the manor lord, and the news is already spreading like wildfire. Does General Feng want the manor lord to die with his eyes open in disgrace?!"

"Bullshit."

Feng Ge snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he spurred his horse and rode alone towards the army formation blocking his way.

"Anyone who dares to block my way will be killed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people on the city wall had already formed their battle formation.

A commander shouted, "Form ranks!"

All the archers stood on high ground, aiming their arrows at Qian Yun. Everyone was intimidated by Feng Ge's reckless spirit. When they heard Qian Yun give an order, the spearmen blocking the drawbridge quickly scattered to both sides.

Despite Qian Yun's higher status in the village, in terms of prestige and courage, he is far inferior to this veteran.

The people in front dispersed, and the people behind followed suit.

Feng Ge rode his horse to Qian Yun's side, the man facing each other, but the horses' heads facing opposite directions.

"Brother Qian, Master Fang has treated you well; I hope you won't forget it."

Qian Yun's face was as cold as iron, and Feng Ge rode his horse into the city.

The troops behind Feng Ge passed through Qian Yun's welcoming army and went straight into Jingling County.

After passing through the city gate, Zhou Yi glanced back.

He had been prepared to make a move, but he didn't expect that the man surnamed Qian was just putting on a show, putting on an act only to bluff.

Old ginger is spicier. Feng Ge's men are on this city wall. Old Feng not only occupies a favorable position, but also understands Qian Yun's character.

After a standoff, the outcome was immediately clear.

Zhou Yi admired General Feng even more and was planning to have a chat with him.

Suddenly, a loud "whoosh" was heard in the darkness!
The whistling arrow pierced the air, transforming into a shimmering silver glint, heading straight for Feng Ge!
Although General Feng was skilled in martial arts, his ability to observe subtle details was far inferior to Zhou Yi's. He heard the strange sound immediately but couldn't grasp the direction of the gust of wind. He turned his head to look at the incoming arrow, and was horrified. He immediately dodged, but even with his quick movements, he was still slower than the swift arrow!
He made a quick decision and hurriedly raised his arm to exchange his injury for his life.

“Crack~!”

A loud bang, like a bamboo tube exploding in fire, rang out. The powerful arrow shattered in front of him and collided head-on with the green bamboo hat, which was even faster than the arrow, and the two exploded.

Chen Ruiyang only saw Zhou Yi make a parabolic motion.

In the next instant, the figure stepped off the horse and disappeared like a phantom from the buildings beside the road.

"There's an assassin, in the direction of that pawnshop!"

Someone shouted, and hundreds of people immediately rushed out to search.

"General Feng!"

Several more people came to Feng Ge's side, and the old general wiped the bloodstains on his face that had been scratched by wood chips.

"I am fine."

This man's archery skills are extraordinary, and his power is exceptional. This arrow won't kill him, but the force of the arrow will explode within his body, and the arm that blocked the arrow will most likely be ruined.

"Where is Young Master Zhou?"

I covered my eyes and couldn't see anything clearly. When I turned around, the person was gone.

The middle-aged man beside him hurriedly said:

"Young Master Zhou threw his bamboo hat to block the arrow, and then went after the assassin who fired it."

He looked surprised and muttered to himself:
"I have never seen such speed. I didn't even see his move clearly, and his lightness skill was terrifyingly fast. General, this young master Zhou is no ordinary person."

Feng Ge is no fool.

His gaze swept over Chen Ruiyang and Lou Ruodan, but the two gang leaders showed no sign of worry.

"General, could it be that Qian Yun sent someone to do this?"

"uncertain."

General Feng glanced in the direction of the pawnshop: "Let's go back to the camp to reorganize. This assassin would never have imagined that there were such experts in the army. He probably won't be able to escape."

"Once Young Master Zhou returns, the truth will come out."

Feng Ge's camp was located in the north of the city, near the Jingling government office.

Meanwhile, the Duba Manor was occupied by Qian Yun, the commander of the Fang Manor Lord's personal guard.

After entering the city gate, they arrived near the main camp in less than a quarter of an hour.

Before Feng Ge and the others even entered the camp, a figure emerged from the darkness in the distance.

Chen Ruiyang and Lou Ruodan went to meet them and saw that Zhou Yi was carrying someone else.

Feng Ge and the others were all surprised, not expecting him to return so quickly. After calming themselves down, they quickly led the group to greet him.

Before I could express my gratitude, Zhou Yi asked:

"General Feng, it was he who fired the arrow from the shadows just now. He's stubborn and hasn't said anything. Can you tell who he is?"

The two men beside Feng Ge took the body and shouted outside:

"Someone, bring a few more torches!"

Four people immediately came over, and Feng Ge took a large pine torch and personally looked after it.

Several lieutenants nearby also stared at the corpse.

They were all locals from Jingling, and they immediately suspected Qian Yun, wanting to see if he was a skilled archer under Qian Yun's command.

The assassin who shot the arrow had a square face, large ears, a prominent chin, thick eyebrows and hair, and was dressed in black animal hide with a quiver wrapped around his back.

The group looked puzzled and shook their heads.
"This guy looks unfamiliar; he doesn't seem to be from the county town."

"Yes, there are many skilled archers in the county, and they are all familiar faces."

"..."

Zhou Yi listened silently, staring intently at the corpse, his eyes unfathomable.

At this moment, a wondrous true energy was swirling within his crown chakra.

This guy must be related to the person who attacked Fellow Daoist Songyinzi back then.

Suddenly, Feng Ge said:
"Don't worry, there's someone who might know."
