After handing over the care of the hospital to Luo Zhang, Qin Huaidao returned to the iron shop in the west courtyard, drove Uncle Ma away, and hid inside alone for a long time, until it was dark, and a simple crossbow gun was ready with an effective range.
Twenty meters, it can be fired ten times in a row. It uses short iron arrows with triangular cone-shaped arrows. If you don't hit it, you won't survive.
Crossbows were controlled weapons in the Tang Dynasty. Once exposed, the consequences would be serious. Qin Huaidao had no doubt that there was a spy in the house, so he took off his coat, wrapped the crossbow and returned to the backyard.
After hiding the crossbow gun, Qin Huaidao returned to the front yard to have dinner with Luo Zhang. Luo Zhang solemnly said: "Cousin, there are a lot of suspicious people outside the house, and the housekeeper said they are probably coming for the sword. Bad guys
People have also stepped up patrols in the area, and I'm afraid something will happen tonight."
Bad people are similar to policemen in later generations.
"It doesn't matter, just to see if your marksmanship has improved." Qin Huaidao had already been mentally prepared. The crossbow gun he had been busy building for a long time was prepared for this. When the butler came in, he asked: "Uncle Jia, how is the tea?"
"We have purchased thousands of kilograms of fresh tea. Because the purchase volume is large, the tea merchant has negotiated a penny per kilogram and will continue to purchase it tomorrow. However, there is not much stock in Chang'an City and needs to be transferred from outside."
In the Tang Dynasty, tea was an exclusive consumer product for aristocrats, wealthy businessmen, literati, and elegant people. Ordinary people would not buy it. The market supply was limited, so the price was relatively high. Fresh tea is fresh tea leaves that have been picked not long ago. It is rich in moisture and costs one penny per pound.
Not cheap, equivalent to ten dollars in later generations.
One pound of fresh tea after frying is less than one tael, and ten pounds of fried tea is worth one pound. One pound of fried tea is equivalent to more than one hundred yuan in later generations, while ordinary tea in later generations is worth tens of yuan per pound.
However, Qin Huaidao was confident that after processing, the profit per kilogram would be ten times or even higher. He warned: "Intensify the acquisition efforts. Also, how is the tea mountain negotiation going?"
"I have inquired about it. There are two barren mountains in the direction of Qinling Mountains. They are nearly 10,000 acres. They are about half a day's ride from Chang'an. There are many ancient tea trees on them, but no one takes care of them. They are overgrown with weeds, making it difficult to pick, and the roads are not easy to walk.
.”
But Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up when he heard about the nearly 10,000 acres of land. After taking it, he could not only pick the tea leaves, but also use the ecological environment to breed and breed wild animals. If he cooperates with hunting, he would definitely make money. He immediately warned: "Jia
Uncle, take a few people to the field tomorrow to find out a few things first, don't scare the snake, wait for a few days to capture it."
"Here!"
After the meal, Qin Huaidao summoned the nursing staff, redeployed them, delineated the patrol area, route, time, and agreed on a secret code. Then he took Luo Zhang to the backyard and explained: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. If there are enemies,
If you come in with a sneak attack, you will be responsible for fighting head-on, and I will support you secretly, making sure not to let anyone go."
"Okay! Then I'll kill time in the yard practicing with guns." Luo Zhang agreed and came to the yard, picked up the tiger-headed spear and started dancing around casually. Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong were cousins, and they taught each other their martial arts. Luo Cheng
Qin Qiong knew the Qin family's mace and marksmanship, and Qin Qiong also knew the Luo family's spear, and Qin Huaidao also learned the Luo family's spear.
Seeing that Luo Zhang's dancing Luo family gun had great fire, power, speed, angle and feel, Qin Huaidao felt a little emotional. This guy is indeed a martial arts idiot. Without disturbing him, he took back the crossbow gun and found an inconspicuous place to hide it.
Get up and be serious.
Time passed by minute by minute, and there was silence all around.
Once Luo Zhang practices Qigong, he enters a state of selflessness, unaware of the passage of time or tiredness.
Late at night, figures descended from the sky one after another, each wearing a mask, with gloomy eyes and evil aura, surrounding Luo Zhang. Luo Zhang snorted disdainfully, withdrew his horse, stared at everyone and said, "Just come, wait.
You’ve been together for a long time, let’s go together!”
The tone is domineering, confident, and belligerent!
When Qin Huaidao saw someone coming, he was already mentally prepared, but he was also very angry. These people were simply arrogant. A rough count showed that there were more than 30 people, aiming their crossbows at the past. No matter who came, he would kill them first.
.
One person took a step forward and said coldly: "You are not...who are you?"
"Waiting for the person who will kill you."
"Arrogant, let the master come out. As long as you hand over the sword, I will spare your life, otherwise there will be no chickens or dogs in the house tonight."
Luo Zhang was not a person who liked nonsense to begin with, and now he was even more lazy to talk. He shook his head and stabbed the opponent fiercely, with a cold voice that broke through the air, and roared: "Kill——"
"Looking for death, kill him." The other party was also angry and swung his knife to kill him.
The others also surrounded and attacked without showing any signs of weakness, cold, ruthless, and decisive!
Qin Huaidao could see that these people were all veterans, but he also wanted to see how strong Luo Zhang was, so he observed attentively and saw Luo Zhang swinging away from the two people, and suddenly stabbed back with the head of his gun, like a giant python probing, stabbing one person.
It's so heartbreaking, what a great way to turn the gun back!
"It's the Luo family's marksmanship, kill him." The leader exclaimed.
The other people's offensive suddenly became fierce, but Luo Zhang's marksmanship was tricky and domineering. He could attack from a distance as well as with short strikes. He could overwhelm two or three people in an instant without giving anyone a chance to get close. He firmly held his position. Qin Huaidao no longer waited and watched.
After all, Luo Zhang was still just a teenager, so he took action decisively.
"call out!"
An arrow passed by like a black light and shot through a man's neck.
Everyone's attention was focused on Luo Zhang. In addition, the arrow was silent and the attack was sudden. No one paid attention. They just thought he was assassinated by Luo Zhang. They attacked fiercely and violently, but Luo Zhang swept away thousands of troops and repulsed him.
.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three more arrows flew away one after another, like poisonous snakes hidden in the darkness suddenly attacking, instantly biting the vital parts of the three targets and causing them to fall to the ground, unable to fight.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
One short arrow after another silently attacked, this time hitting three people in the thigh. It was not fatal, but it made them difficult to move.
In an instant, seven people fell!
The others reacted, but had no intention of retreating. Instead, they were like demons with red eyes, swooping in and beating without fear of death, but Luo Zhang was unequivocal, and Ma Shanwu was so superb that he stabbed out several spear shadows in an instant.
Every gun shadow is real, but because it is too fast, only the shadow can be seen.
"Puff puff!"
Three more murderers were stabbed through their bodies and fell down almost at the same time. Luo Zhang stood up bravely and fired his gun like lightning with great force and force. He suppressed all the murderers. He advanced and retreated in a well-founded manner and fought very methodically.
Qin Huaidao was like a top sniper hiding in the darkness. He calmly shot the other four short arrows and quickly evacuated, changed a new ambush point, and quickly changed the arrow box. While observing the battle situation, he saw that nearly half of the invading enemies had been killed.
The remaining half are no match for Luo Zhang.
The strange thing is that these people obviously suffered a lot of casualties, but no one ran away. Apparently they received a death order?
Endless anger welled up in his heart. These bastards really regarded themselves as soft persimmons. They couldn't bear it anymore and took aim at the crossbow again.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Short arrows roared into the air like bullets from a barrel, carrying Qin Huaidao's endless killing intent.
One by one the killers fell injured, Luo Zhang's pressure was greatly reduced, and the Luo family's marksmanship became more and more comfortable.
