Chapter 89: Copper Sparrow Bow, Yuwen Family

This is a small courtyard twenty steps square.

A blue stone path in the courtyard, with vegetables planted on both sides.

There is a large house on the east, west, and north sides.

The large house on the north side is brightly lit, casting several dark human shadows on the window.

Cheng Xiazi Cheng silently poked his head out from outside the south wall, holding the knife handle, "scanning" the courtyard with his white eyes, and slowly retracted his head.

Soon, his figure appeared on the roof of the uninhabited east house.

He flipped over the roof ridge quieter than a cat, jumped lightly, rolled on the ground, and was completely silent.

He was equipped with a knife on his left side, and this roll was tilted to the right side, rolling out. After unloading the force, he happened to crouch under the window of the large house on the north side.

"... Wen family wine house, after all, has many people. Not to mention the busy guests during the day, there are quite a few residents at night.

With just the three of us, wanting to kill the target smoothly is not a simple matter."

"This person should have times when he goes out. Let's observe again and find a time when he is alone to take action."

"Hey! If you ask me, why be so careful? With intention against no intention, even in the bustling market, we can take action.

Remember that time we killed a county magistrate in Sichuan? Taking advantage of the Lantern Festival, we walked past him, and just like that, his life was taken. By the time his wife, children, and followers found something wrong, we had already mixed into the crowd and disappeared.

Haha, the crying sound of that little girl, the feeling of us slipping away in that bustling market, made me feel more comfortable than the reward given by the family later."

"Restrain yourself. Only the three of us took action that time. This time, I heard that quite a few people are coming. If we meet in the future and find that you have any place that is easy to expose, the punishment from above will not be lenient."

Cheng Xiazi Cheng's ruined eyeballs didn't move usually.

Today, listening to these words, his eyelids were half-open, and his eyeballs were turning around.

A killing intent luster was restrained in his turning eyeballs, hidden and not emitted.

He picked up a small stone at the foot of the wall and threw it up.

The small stone landed on the roof of the large house on the north side, colliding with the tiles.

"Who?!"

The three people in the house were all fierce and strong, wearing coarse cloth clothes, and the plump luster on their hands and faces showed that their physique was very good.

The sound on the roof made them move instantly.

One person blew out the lamp.

One person had already soared into the air, holding the beam with his left arm, and a short gun in his right hand, stabbing straight at the position where the sound came from.

There was another person who suddenly broke through the door to observe the situation outside from the perspective of the courtyard.

At the same time he broke the door, Cheng Xiazi Cheng broke through the window.

The person who blew the lamp only felt a blur before his eyes.

Another person appeared across the table, and his hand had been buckled by that person.

Crack!!

Cheng Xiazi Cheng folded and shook his hand, the lamp-blower's wrist dislocated, and the entire arm was pulled violently, and the elbow and shoulder were all dislocated.

But before he could scream.

Cheng Xiazi Cheng's hand pushed forward again.

This twist and push made the dislocated joints collide again, but they were all misaligned collisions.

The instantaneous pain was several times greater than a simple dislocation.

The lamp-blower's eyeballs rolled white, and the scream didn't come out, he had already fainted from the pain.

The person soaring in the air saw something was wrong, changed his left hand from holding the beam to pushing the beam, and his body accelerated and pounced down.

Boom!!!

With the person and the gun, this downward stab smashed the table into pieces, and the oil lamp also shattered.

But the gun tip didn't hit the target.

Cheng Xiazi Cheng's figure suddenly lowered in his field of vision and disappeared.

If there were bystanders, they would see that Cheng Xiazi Cheng's movement trajectory at this moment was like a python suddenly whipping its tail.

His body lowered, and he turned more than half a circle, already at the side of the gun-holder, and the tail of the knife scabbard poked at the gun-holder's neck.

The gun-holder's neck tilted, his body collided with the ground, and he lost his voice.

The person outside the door just found something wrong and turned back into the room.

This person was the most agile and had enough strength. Just that break of the door, his whole body was wrapped in a layer of airflow.

As soon as he entered the room, the wrist guard on his right hand lit up slightly.

Soldier soul, "Urging Wind"!

Can bring up an airflow in the same direction when the soldier master moves.

When punching, the wind pressure within three feet blinds the eyes.

Wind is the most common thing in the world, the easiest to be influenced by invisible power.

Many soldier soul effects are related to wind.

When this person punched, the hand gesture he made was also a bit strange. The knuckle of the index finger protruded particularly forward, and there were some gaps between the fingers.

As soon as he punched, it seemed to pierce a bird's cry in the air.

Not the cry of an ordinary sparrow, but the cry of that kind of mountain sparrow.

With a bit of sharpness, and very short.

The sparrow cry and wind pressure arrived almost at the same time, pressing on Cheng Xiazi Cheng's head and face.

Cheng Xiazi Cheng finally pulled out his knife, held the scabbard with his left hand, reversed the knife handle with his right hand, and pulled it out instantly.

This action was extremely smooth.

The knife handle hit the puncher's wrist guard from bottom to top, pushing this arm away.

The blade then broke through the wind pressure, leaving a slanted wound on the puncher's chest and abdomen.

Clang!!!

The sound of the knife leaving the scabbard reached his ears, and the puncher only felt that his strength disappeared along with the coldness on his chest.

Thump!

His whole body felt cold, his legs went soft and he knelt on the ground, his buttocks sitting on his feet, looking up in horror.

Besides the wound on his chest and abdomen bleeding, a stream of blood also flowed down from the wrist guard on his right hand.

The force of this person hitting the wrist guard with the knife handle could actually penetrate his wrist guard, break the skin, and crack the wrist bone.

It was as if his wrist guard had a weakness that even he didn't know, and it was hit exactly by the knife handle.

Cheng Xiazi Cheng held the blade horizontally in front of his neck.

"Speak! How much bounty did the Yuwen family give you to chase to Nanzhao to kill me?"

Cheng Xiazi Cheng said coldly, "There are more than just the three of you, right? How many people are there in total?"

The puncher didn't know if he had been injured in the internal organs, but at least he shouldn't have injured his heart and lungs, a touch of luck flashed in his heart, and he became more afraid of death.

"I, I..."

He confessed, "We are not here to kill you. It's a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding. We don't know you at all."

Cheng Xiazi Cheng's blade advanced by one point: "Still want to lie to me? You were talking about the Wen family wine house just now!"

The puncher almost shed tears of grievance.

"It's really not you."

He cried out, "We just want to kill the landlady of the Wen family wine house."

Cheng Xiazi Cheng's eyelids opened completely, his white eyeballs and black pupils staring fixedly at this person.

"Kill her?!"

Cheng Xiazi Cheng's killing intent soared, thicker than before, almost accidentally wiping this person's head off.

"Why do you want to kill her?"

The puncher stammered: "This, I don't know either. The above just gave such instructions, maybe because she is a famous person..."

A voice came from outside the door.

"Sigh, this reason is too bullshit."

Cheng Xiazi Cheng suddenly turned his head, his killing intent released and retracted, and he steadied his mind: "Why did you come?"

Seeing Chu Tianshu stepped in.

"I saw you were restless, estimated that something was going to happen, and followed to see."

Seeing Chu Tianshu looked around the room and smiled, "It seems that it's not you who is going to have an accident, it's them."

Cheng Xiazi Cheng frowned: "You have already gotten what you wanted, why are you still so meddlesome?"

"Could it be that someone who cultivates both life and nature can't memorize what I said?"

"Huh?!"

Seeing Chu Tianshu tilted his head, making a puzzled sound, "Old brother, I first wanted to make a friend with you, and then thought, can I get a secret manual from a friend."

"This order is very important, don't get it wrong."

Cheng Xiazi Cheng's mouth moved, noncommittal, and turned to continue interrogating that person.

"Speak, what is the real reason?"

That person only said: "I really don't know."

Seeing Chu Tianshu walked up and pricked his head with a needle.

Generally, when performing acupuncture, when pricking the head, the fine needle will move between the skin and flesh.

Even if it is a long needle, it will not pierce into the skull.

Only when Seeing Chu Tianshu wants to kill someone will he exert force to shoot straight through the bone.

However, his needle this time was different.

It wasn't to kill, but the needle tip also slightly touched the skull.

Seeing Chu Tianshu let go of the silver needle, pinched a gesture, and recited a mantra.

"Lin!"

That silver needle seemed to be sensed by his voice and vibrated on its own, buzzing lightly.

The puncher only felt his brain go numb, his eyes became muddled, his mouth opened not knowing how to close, and a little saliva flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

"Kill the landlady of the Wen family wine house, what is the real reason?"

Seeing Chu Tianshu asked again.

The puncher answered very concisely this time: "Don't know, maybe because she is famous."

Seeing Chu Tianshu looked puzzled: "Then who sent you? Are you a killer organization? There should be an employer, right?"

The puncher said: "We are from the Yuwen family, don't know anything else."

"It seems that he really doesn't know."

Cheng Xiazi Cheng wiped his neck with a knife and turned to give the other two people a finishing blow.

Seeing Chu Tianshu pondered in the side: "You were originally planning to leave the wine house, did you mistakenly think the trouble was coming for you?"

"I... have some old grievances with the Yuwen family. I really couldn't stand it back then and killed a beast in their family who trampled on human life and forcibly humiliated a girl."

Cheng Xiazi Cheng heard this, stunned for a long time before speaking, the moon through the door and window illuminated his lonely figure, "However, for that impulse of mine, the one I loved... Qin Niang, was also shot and killed by the Yuwen family's arrows when I arranged for her to leave first."

"I am blind, but my listening wind has become sharper, and I can hear the operation of force."

"I will never forget the Yuwen family's 'Copper Sparrow Bow' endurance method in my life."

The Yuwen family had an ancestor named Yuwen Tai, who was the actual power holder of Western Wei and the founder of Northern Zhou.

Once, when he was fighting Eastern Wei, in the midst of chaotic troops, at the time of military danger, he drew his bow and shot directly, shooting down the copper sparrow on the Eastern Wei commander's flag.

Yuwen's army morale was greatly boosted, and they survived in a desperate situation.

Later generations, to commemorate this event, carved the copper sparrow pattern on the precious bow, and organized a variety of methods to practice strength, borrowing bows and horses to practice strength, calling it the "Copper Sparrow Bow."

The person just now, seemingly punching, was actually using archery techniques.

Cheng Xiazi Cheng noticed the characteristics of them practicing the "Copper Sparrow Bow" during the day, and thought it was for that Yuwen young master back then, coming to find the blind man for revenge.

"So that's how it is."

Seeing Chu Tianshu said, "But since they are aiming at Lady Madame Wenjing, can you still leave?"

Cheng Xiazi Cheng shook off the blood on the knife, and the force passed, the knife was not stained with blood.

"The Wen family has lived in Nanzhao for two or three generations. Although the Yuwen family's power is thick and the clan members are numerous, they are all in the Great Tang territory after all. How could they have grievances?"

Cheng Xiazi Cheng spat out his doubts, returned the knife to the scabbard, and was silent for a while.

"Dr. Chu, you are better at talking, can you help me ask her?"

Seeing Chu Tianshu stared wide-eyed and pointed at himself.

"Me? Old brother, are you serious?"

Cheng Xiazi Cheng said: "You help me ask, and the debt I owe will be waived."

Seeing Chu Tianshu was simply unbelievable.

"You are such a big person, just standing here, you two are in love, and then..."

"You let me ask?"

He suddenly doubted the vision of Qin Niang and Lady Madame Wenjing.

Do these two have a fetish for objects, especially liking dead-brained wood?
