Shao County is no better than HD County. In earth terms, this is a provincial capital. It’s just to avoid the limelight. Is it necessary to go to the provincial capital?
Except for Su Tong, the brothers Qiu Dezhu and Qiu Dezhu didn't understand their father's decision. They all ran to the county seat. Is it possible that Ma Zhiye could still chase him here?
Seeing his two children with puzzled looks on their faces, Qiu Laoquan sighed inwardly, blaming himself for staying in Xiaoling Village all these years and protecting his two children so well that they could not
Know the dangers of the world.
He was about to explain, but Su Tong on the side advised him: "Hongtang County is too close to Xiaoling Village. Ma Zhiye has lived in Xiaoling Village for so many years. Who can guarantee that he has nothing to do with Hongtang County.
Besides, we killed his son, and the hatred for killing his son is irreconcilable. If it were me, I would kill the person who killed my son at all costs. Now, do you still think that Hongtang County will be safe after defeating it?
"
After hearing Su Tong's explanation, Qiu Dezhu and his sister finally understood their father's intention.
Qiu Laoquan continued: "Dad has a friend in Shaojun that he hasn't seen for many years. After arriving in Shaojun, dad begged that friend to see if he could make an agreement and let you work in a martial arts gym. As long as
If you can be promoted to junior martial arts master this year, you will be qualified to become the instructor there.
In this way, you will have a job that can support your family, and dad will feel relieved."
"Dad... I am a useless child. I am embarrassing you." Hearing what Qiu Laoquan said, Qiu Dezhu lowered his head in shame. He is already in his twenties and is not even a junior martial artist. It is really embarrassing.
"
Qiu Laoquan sighed softly and patted his shoulder, "You don't have to be sad. It's no use to me. After all these years, I can't even afford a body-building pill, otherwise you would have been promoted by now. But.
Don't worry, you found the Moonflower Grass this time, plus we sold the fields and houses this time, plus we have saved some money over the years, when we get to Shaocheng we will sell these things and buy them for you.
Strengthening Pill, I believe you will advance to the next level soon."
Qiu Dezhu reminded: "Dad, half of that moonflower plant belongs to Brother Su."
Qiu Laoquan glared at him: "Dad is not an old fool yet. After selling the moonflower grass, dad will naturally have a share of the little brother. At that time, the little brother can either want money or exchange for body-building pills."
Su Tong originally wanted to refuse, but he swallowed his words again. This was the second time he heard the Qiu family mention the body-building pill. It seems that this kind of pill is quite expensive, even Qiu Laoquan
There is also a great need for this elixir.
"He couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Qiu, is it necessary to take body-building pills to advance to the next level when practicing martial arts?"
Qiu Laoquan shook his head: "That's not true. You can practice without taking elixirs, but the speed is very slow. Just like Dezhu, he has been practicing for five or six years and still has not been promoted to a martial arts master. It is because he lacks the assistance of elixirs.
's sake."
"Then if you say that, wouldn't it be possible for our disciples who are not short of elixirs to advance through the ranks by taking drugs?"
"It's not that simple. It's medicine that's three parts poison. No matter how good the elixir is, you can't take it for granted. It's just like a tonic. If you take too much of it, you won't be able to stand it."
Su Tong then asked what he was most concerned about: "Where can I get the skills to practice?"
Qiu Laoquan said: "Except for those top-level exercises, ordinary exercises are not too rare. In fact, to put it bluntly, exercises are methods of transporting qi and blood. The difference between various exercises lies in how they are used.
It is a technique that can use the most convenient, effective and safest method to transport Qi and blood to the greatest extent, strengthen one's own Qi and blood, and increase internal strength.
After all, practicing martial arts also has risks. If you don't do it well, your energy and blood may backfire, or you may become paralyzed or even die. This is why major families keep secrets about the techniques they practice."
"Oh!" Su Tong touched his chin. This world not only has martial arts techniques, but also legends about immortals. As his understanding increases, he becomes more curious about this world.
While they were talking, the three of them had almost finished talking. Qiu Laoquan was about to say something when suddenly he knelt down and put his ear to the ground. His expression immediately changed, "There is someone riding a horse from behind to catch up. It's 80% likely."
Ma Zhiye, it seems they have discovered the bodies of Ma Laoliu and the others, everyone is hiding... No, they are coming!"
While he was talking, seven or eight people on horseback had appeared at the intersection. With the help of the morning glow, Su Tong could already see the leader, who was not Ma Zhiye.
At the same time, Ma Zhiye and his party also spotted Su Tong and his party by the creek, and immediately stopped their horses.
After seeing Su Tong and his party clearly, Ma Zhiye's eyes immediately turned red: "Hey, Qiu Laoquan, I really didn't expect that you are so brave and dare to abscond after killing my son. Qiu
Lao Quan, ah Qiu Lao Quan, if I don’t kill you today, your whole family will not be a human being!"
"kill!"
After saying that, Ma Zhiye immediately rode towards Qiu Laoquan, and several riders behind him also rushed towards Qiu Dezhu and Su Tong.
Seeing such a situation, how could Su Tong be polite? When he realized something was wrong just now, he had already cocked his crossbow. When he saw someone rushing over, he raised his hand and shot an arrow.
The arrow weighing 50 grams reached a speed of 90 meters per second driven by the bow string, and with a whoosh, it knocked the rider at the front to the ground.
"good!"
Seeing Su Tong's move, Qiu Laoquan couldn't help but yelled "Hello". Then he didn't know how he moved. He rushed to Ma Zhiye with a single step, and stabbed the horse's neck under Ma Zhiye's crotch with the crutch in his hand.
On the horse, the horse let out a scream and then fell heavily to the ground. Ma Zhiye, who was riding the horse, flew up before the horse fell to the ground. He pulled out a short gun from his waist in mid-air and stabbed Qiu Laoquan, but was killed by Qiu Laoquan.
Qiu Laoquan struck one side with his palm, and the two immediately started fighting.
Qiu Dezhu also took the opportunity to rush forward, and hit the mount of another rider with the short knife in his hand. The war horse made a long neigh, raised its front hooves high, and threw the rider off the horse.
What surprised Su Tong was that Qiu Dezhu, a girl who rarely spoke, actually took out a sword from nowhere, followed Qiu Dezhu and started playing ping-pong-pong with the knights.
However, he was surprised, and Su Tong did not forget to work.
He also knew that it would be useless to go up with his skills. Taking advantage of this gap, he strung the crossbow again and pulled the trigger at the other rider.
"ah……"
A knight who rode his horse and rushed to Qiu Dezhu's side, intending to slash with his sword, suddenly saw an arrow in his face. The arrowhead penetrated deeply into his forehead, and he fell off his horse.
For a while, the two sides were fighting inextricably. Su Tong looked on in a daze. Qiu Laoquan, Qiu Dezhu and his son fought fiercely. Even Qiu Dezhu, a woman, did not do badly. She was inextricable from an opponent.
point.
While Ma Zhiye and Qiu Laoquan were fighting fiercely, with their backs turned to him, Su Tong shot an arrow at Ma Zhiye with a crossbow. He never thought that the back of his head seemed to have eyes, and the long sword in his hand went towards him.
With a last wave, the arrow was reflected towards him with lightning speed, grazing his forehead and passing by, scaring Su Tong so much that he broke into a cold sweat.
