Sixteen, Double Inferior Conjunction (Upper, First Watch)

  Songmu Town is five miles south.

  Muyu Village

  Late at night.

  The village head's big courtyard house, a thatched hut in the west wing.

  Tan Yong entered meditation quietly.

  Xie Zilan had something else to attend to and didn't come with them to the village.

  And Shi Huang quietly left after settling down Tan Yu.

  Tan Yong didn't know what he was going to do, and originally wanted to ask a question with the spirit of being responsible for his senior who had lived together for several days, but after vaguely sensing the sharp aura of the opponent's accumulated repression, the words reached the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back.

  In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a deep sorrow for some people.

  Don't those people know that even a desperate dog will jump over a wall, let alone when they are forcing a tiger!

  An old evil tiger that is at the top of the food chain in every aspect and still wants to protect its cubs!

  This is still the outer periphery of the Shennong Great Forest, but it's already closer to the inner circle.

  Including the village chief's family, most of the villagers didn't have much of a nightlife. Even some energetic men and women had all but exhausted themselves by this late hour.

  The surroundings were extremely quiet.

  With such a good external environment, Tan Yu decided to work hard and grasp the time to penetrate the Aishi acupoint on both sides of his navel.

  One evening should be more than enough.

  No matter how much you say, it's your own strength that speaks in the end.

  On the ground of Shennongjia, where masters are as common as fish in a river, if you don't advance quickly, you're nothing.

  I hope it remains this quiet tonight, all the way until dawn!

  ……

  It's obvious that this year is a bad year for Tan Yu, such a small wish, is destined to be just an extravagant hope.

  It's not yet dawn, but from afar, the sounds of people shouting and horses neighing can already be faintly heard, and they're getting closer and closer.

  Tan Yong initially tried his best to endure, gathering his six senses and not thinking too much about it. Later, when he heard a horse suddenly let out a loud and mournful cry, followed by the sudden increase in the noise of a group of people quarreling, he knew that trouble had still come.

  He got up and put on his backpack, drew his bow and took out another arrow, and quietly slipped out of the house.

  The big yard was still very quiet, and there were no family members with strong curiosity coming out to ask anything.

  Those lively scenes in Qin Yu's ears are actually not very clear to ordinary people.

  Qin Yu thought it was just right, he didn't go to open the big door of the hospital either. In the dark night, the movement was too loud and the target was too obvious.

  The wall was less than two meters high and had no thorns or copper wire surrounding it, so he easily climbed over the wall.

  Muyu Village is roughly in a north-south direction, with the village chief's house at the northernmost end, and the noise comes from the northeast all the way over.

  Hiding under the big Chinese scholar tree at the village head, Tan Yu looked up at the sky, the stars were all over the sky, a crescent moon, the light was enough, it's not easy to see clearly in the distance.

  The horseshoes clanged, and a lone rider gradually approached, not at a particularly fast speed. Behind him, there seemed to be seven or eight riders in pursuit, with only one rider pursuing at the very front, while the others appeared to be seasoned horsemen as well, but their speed was apparently also not daring to open up.

  In this icy and snowy weather, unless it's a rare breed of horse like the Treading Water Flying Frost Beast, even the Red Hare Absolute Shadow wouldn't dare to gallop at full speed. Otherwise, there would be a huge risk of slipping and breaking its hooves at any time.

  Tan Yun suddenly thought of the pair of red horses that Xiao Die and Zeng Yinyin had on that day.

  Although it was dusk and a well-maintained official road, the speed of those two horses in the snowy sky was still breathtaking, and they must have been special mounts with ice and snow attributes.

  A burst of chaotic shouting and cursing followed:

  "You scoundrel, what are you doing? Quickly return the horse to our young master!"

  "You stinky little brat, no one can help you now, surrender and accept your death!"

  "Dog thief runs again, catch you and make you pay!"

  "I'm fed up with these guys' stinky mouths......" Qin Yu was thinking to himself, when he saw the knight in front of him suddenly loosen his hand and shoot an arrow from under his arm.

  A loud "thud" immediately followed, and one person fell down with a thud.

  Qin Yu's eyes widened in shock, her heart racing wildly. The knight's movements, drawing his bow and shooting arrows from under his arm, were all too familiar.

  Looks just like little Shifeng!

  Tan Yong thought again, what's the point of being so similar, it was good in the first place?

  Zhang Ren's "archer" technique, is there anyone else in this world who can imitate it?

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The pursuers roared and scolded, shooting out their long arrows one after another. However, Zhang Ren crouched extremely low, his whole body almost like a camel's hump on the horseback, making it impossible for them to hit him, while they had to be constantly on guard against his cold arrows.

  "Qin Yu thought: 'How shameless do you have to be to cultivate a freak like Little Shidi? Ni Ma... no, will these people shoot horses or not?'"

  Just as he was thinking about it, a wolf's fang seemed to sense his thoughts and shot out low, pouncing on Zhang Ren's warhorse's buttocks.

  Luckily, it didn't hit me.

  This arrow immediately drew the anger of the leader of the pursuers in front: "Which stupid cunt, even if you want to lick horse ass, is Ben Shao's Qianli Hong also a place where you dare to speak?"

  No one dared to respond.

  Tan Yun saw Zhang Ren quickly approaching the village, furrowed his brow, looked up and suddenly found that in front of him, on the right side of this big locust tree, not far away, there was another locust tree brother with almost the same thickness.

  Qin Yu smiled and started working. The thick branches of the tree blocked out most of the moonlight, making it an ideal place for a clandestine operation.

  He stretched out his hand and pulled out a roll of black twine from his bag.

  This was a gift from Xi Zhilan, originally intended for another use in the mountain cave, but at that time Tang Nanmu's delay was too short, and Xi Zhilan was discovered by Shi Huan, so it didn't come into play at all.

  It's being used now, just in time.

  ……

  Zhang Renyi rode ahead, and from the village head, he charged in alone.

  He was also flustered and completely unaware that this was a village. It wasn't until he passed under the two large locust trees guarding the entrance of the village and stepped onto the flat village road that he came to his senses.

  "Where is this going? Looks like a small village."

  Then, he heard a burst of horse whinnies behind him, more than one horse, followed by the sound of thuds, and was taken aback.

  "What's going on?"

  Zhang Ren pulled the reins to turn his horse's head, and saw that under a large locust tree, five or six horses had fallen to the ground, neighing pitifully. The riders were thrown off their horses, and hardly any of them could scramble up unscathed.

  Look again at the knight leader who was knocked out, he fell to the ground with his butt twisted and couldn't get up. Beside him stood a tall and handsome young man, playing with a long sword in his hand, occasionally swiping it past the knight leader's neck.

  "Second Master!" Zhang Ren was overjoyed and hastily rode his horse over, jumped off, and rushed towards Qin Yu.

  "Keep your distance from me," Tian Yun hastily said, "be careful or I'll unleash my divine sword skills and cut you..."

  Zhang Ren stopped in his tracks and looked at the last two clumsy knights. These two were lucky, they ran a bit slower, and both the horses and riders were controlled, without going up to join in the fun.

  "Hey kids, get down here. Otherwise, I'll take care of his little brother first." Qin Yu glanced over and saw that the leader of these kids wasn't very old, quite handsome, and dressed like a rich young master.

  A sword pressed against the young leader's **, and suddenly a low murmur sounded, a pungent smell surged...
