Chapter 943 An old friend comes to surrender later
A sudden arrow shocked the whole audience!
This arrow came so suddenly and so fast that the naked eye could not follow the flight path. It seemed as if it was not limited by space and appeared in front of Wei Lai instantly. Wei Lai was so frightened that he almost instinctively jumped to the side.
Thanks to his martial arts training, his conditioned reflexes were very fast, and he managed to avoid the fatal heart area. However, his arm was still scratched by the sharp arrow, leaving a bloodstain, and a sharp pain instantly swept through his mind.
"hiss--"
Wei Lai was shocked and did not dare to fight. He rushed a few steps, got on his horse and ran towards the city.
Luo Wu, who breaks through with force, is no longer sure of victory. If there is another expert with arrows, he will die if he doesn't leave.
It all happened so fast and suddenly.
So that everyone only reacted when they saw Wei Lai escaping. They turned around and saw a man and a horse galloping towards him. They were all dressed in coarse cloth and looked like ordinary people. The horses were just ordinary war horses. They were a little old and not very fast, but they were fast.
People have a sharp feeling, like a dusty sword being slowly unsheathed and shining brightly in all directions.
This man was holding a large bow. The bow was fully drawn and rattled as he locked onto Wei Lai again.
"call out--"
Another terrifying scream sounded, and the sharp arrow flew past like a meteor, with the momentum of piercing through.
Wei Lai, who was running for his life, focused all his attention on the incoming man. When he saw the arrow being released, he did not hesitate to hide it in his pocket. However, the sharp arrow did not go towards the man, and it was nailed hard on the front thigh of the war horse.
"Xilulu!"
The war horse was in pain, screamed and fell forward violently.
Wei Lai on horseback was also thrown away and fell heavily to the ground. The sound of landing was dull and painful to watch.
At this time, two people rushed out of the city. One person held the saddle steady, leaned down, grabbed Wei Lai, pulled the reins of the horse, turned around and ran quickly towards the city. The other person picked up Wei Lai's sword and followed.
Luo Wu did not take the opportunity to chase and kill the defeated general. He would have many opportunities to kill him in the future. Instead, he looked at the man who rushed up and did not recognize him. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help just now, brother!"
"You're welcome. If I hadn't shot the arrow, this person would have been killed by the general. But I missed the general. Please forgive me. It's just that I was eager to make a contribution and wanted to shoot this person as a token of surrender to the King of Han."
He returned the courtesy with his hands raised and his tone was calm.
After the force breakthrough, Luo Wu was indeed sure to kill Wei Lai just now, but he was also moved by the upright words of the visitor, and said with a smile: "I can't talk about it. There will be many opportunities in the future, but my archery skills are amazing and admirable. I don't know how."
What do you want to do with the King of Han?"
"I, Wang Chao, also known as Shengzhi, came here to join the King of Han. I thought I would come empty-handed, but I was not in harmony with Li. When I saw the opportunity, I shot an arrow, but it was a pity that the enemy ran away."
"Brother Victory!"
"Hahaha, why are you here?"
A joyful voice came.
Wang Chao turned around and quickly clasped his fists and said: "Shengzhi, pay homage to the King of Han!"
"My family, why are you so polite?" Qin Huaidao looked at Wang Chao, his eyes bright. This guy's archery skills were no less than Xue Rengui's, and he could be compared to a sniper when used properly.
In my memory, the two families were family friends. They practiced archery with each other for a period of time when they were young. Unfortunately, they were not talented enough, so they later concentrated on practicing the family's secret technique.
"Uncle, who is this?" Luo Wu asked curiously.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Luo Wu, let me introduce to you. This man's surname is Wang, his given name is Chao, his given name is Shengzhi. He is the legitimate son of Wang Bodang, the world's best archer. You saw the arrow just now, so far away
They can all hit it, which is amazing."
"That's it!" Luo Wu suddenly realized.
Qin Huaidao looked at Wang Chao and continued: "Back then, your father scared off Wei Wentong with two arrows and saved my father. Today, you scared off Wei Wentong's son Wei Lai with two arrows and saved Luo Wu. It's also a good story. We haven't seen each other for many years.
There has been no news about you. My father was looking for you, but unfortunately he couldn’t find you. Why are you here?”
"Return to the King of Han..."
"Hey, there's no need to be so polite and appear aloof, just call me little brother as before. Uncle Wang saved my father's life back then, and we have been friends for eight years. You won't deny it, right?" Qin Huaidao interrupted.
"You are the King of Han now, so you must not break the etiquette and let others gossip."
"Okay, then when there is no one around, you and I will still be brothers."
Wang Chao was deeply moved when he saw that Qin Huaidao was still as affectionate and cordial as ever, and did not look down on him because of his change in status and identity. He was deeply moved and said: "In the second year of Wude, Li Mi rebelled against Li Yuan. You also know the relationship between my father and Li Mi. Please persuade him."
After the failure, I followed you and was killed after the defeat. I was worried about the liquidation, so I left Tianzhu and kept my name anonymous. After learning about your situation, I came here to seek refuge."
"It doesn't matter whether you surrender or not. We are brothers. We can do something for the world and the people together. It is not a waste of time to come to this world. I am very happy that you can come. Let's go back and have a drink!" Xue Rengui said happily.
The three of them walked towards the army.
Xu Shiji came up to him and asked curiously: "King of Han, who is this hero?"
"Wang Bodang's son, Wang Chao, is nicknamed Shengzhi. Speaking of it, this name was given by my father. It means that he will be far superior to Uncle Wang and will win every battle." Qin Huaidao explained happily.
At that time, Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang and others followed Li Mi and defected to Li Yuan. Li Mi rebelled because he could not be re-employed. Wang Bodang tried to persuade him to no avail and followed him to rebel. Xu Shiji and others chose to side with Li Yuan.
All in all, Xu Shiji and Wang Bodang worked together and had a good relationship.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Shiji said with emotion: "I didn't expect that we are old friends. No wonder our archery skills are extraordinary. We joined Gaozu together back then, but we took different paths, and now we are together again. It's really... the world is impermanent!"
"Chao, meet General Xu!" Wang Chao cupped his fists and saluted.
"Good nephew, you are polite." Xu Shiji returned the courtesy.
Qin Huaidao saw that Xu Shiji was sighing and feeling wrong, so he tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, brother Xue, let me introduce to you. This brother Wang Chao and I have been friends for eight years. Brother Shengzhi, this person's surname is Xue and his name is Li."
, named Rengui, is also my sworn brother, one year older than you."
"Rengui, meet my eldest brother!" Xue Rengui was not a fool. He felt the kindness and expectation in Qin Huaidao's words and greeted him proactively.
"How shameful! Shengzhi, I have met the Xue brothers." Wang Chao was confused about the situation and quickly returned the gift.
Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction: "Brother Xue, Sheng Zhi is a loyal and righteous man. You have also seen his archery skills. He is by no means inferior to you."
"Are the Xue brothers also good at shooting?" Wang Chao asked in surprise.
"If I have a chance to compete, I would also like to know who is higher and who is lower between you two." Qin Huaidao smiled happily, then looked at Xu Shiji and added: "Young Master, I am happy today. The war is over. I will go back to take over the victory for my eldest brother."
Wash off the dust and fight again tomorrow."
"The King of Han will take the first step, and I will take care of the aftermath." Xu Shiji said knowingly.
"Walk!"
Qin Huaidao shouted happily, but in his heart he was thinking about how to use an archery master like Wang Chao.
Luo Wu led the guards to guard the surrounding area and headed towards the inner garden.
Wang Shengzhi observed carefully and quickly realized that the guards around him were extraordinary. No matter their discipline, momentum or position, they were all extraordinary. No one had the chance to kill Qin Huaidao with a cold arrow, even he himself couldn't do it.
What's even more frightening is that these people seem to be relaxed, but they always press one hand on the handle of the sword. This action can ensure that they draw the sword and join the battle in a very short time. Only elites who have fought a hundred battles will not have this habit.
