Chapter 15: Liu Dazhan's True Nature Revealed

  "The big brother's shooting is accurate, the apple is right in the center, without any deviation." The gunshot fell, a bandit soldier ran over to check the target, picked up the smashed apple from the ground, and immediately reported back. After checking the apple on Liu's side, he walked to the brother who was holding an apple in front of Chen Shaogin, and found that the apple was still intact and motionless on the brother's head. He then subconsciously examined the brother's body carefully, and tried to pat him down, first opening his arm to check if there were any injuries. When he didn't find any wounds, he turned around to report to Liu, "Chen Shaogin missed the target, the bullet hit the wall!"

  "What?" Xue Yumei immediately expressed her doubts upon hearing the result. On the battlefield, she had personally witnessed Chen Shaobin's hundred-step piercing arrow technique, and even when ambushing Lieutenant General Matsumoto, one shot had pierced through two enemy heads - a divine feat that was still vivid in her mind. Now, it was just shooting an apple placed on someone's head, motionless, how could there be such a huge margin of error? "How is this possible?"

  "Brother, the result of our wager is out. I'm a man of my word, what I say counts. Since we've already agreed on the time for you two to come under my jurisdiction, naturally I'll follow through with our agreement!" Liu Ke didn't pay any attention to Xue Yumei's suspicions. Perhaps in his heart, he thought it was only normal for others to lose to him, so he felt like he had expected this outcome all along. He only delayed until now to make the other party submit. "Guards, take that Chen Shaoyin or whatever outside and execute him! And as for Xue Yumei, leave her behind to be my mountain stronghold's lady!"

  Xue Yumei heard this and was so angry that she wanted to go up and slap the little brat, but she couldn't shake off the two bandit soldiers beside her, and couldn't get close to Liu.

  Chen Shaoyin was very calm, but when he heard the opponent order his subordinates to take action, he suddenly burst out laughing, and that laughter seemed to be mocking Liu, making him feel a bit uneasy. He couldn't understand what was going on at first, so he walked up to Chen Shaoyin, his eyes staring fiercely, and pointed the gun in his hand at Chen's chest, shouting: "What are you laughing at? Don't you even have the courage to admit defeat?"

  "I'm just laughing at those self-righteous guys, it turns out that so-called fairness and justice are just a cover for cheating and deceiving the world. Chen learned his lesson today!" Chen Shaoqin saw that his loud laughter was about to enrage Liu, so he decided to add fuel to the fire and said some words to him, whether he was there or not, planning to directly confuse him into a cloud of confusion.

  "Damn it, losing is just losing, and you still dare to say such sarcastic words in front of our boss. You really don't know how to live!" Seeing Chen Shaoqin taking the initiative in front of Lao Da, Er Ge's heart started to get anxious, so he took the initiative to help Lao Da regain some face, and rushed over, wanting to teach Chen Shaoqin a lesson.

  Liu immediately grabbed the hand of Lao Er and pushed him heavily to one side. Originally, Lao Er had wanted to use his strength to help Liu regain some face, but now this behavior appeared after Chen Shaoqin's laughter, having the opposite effect, making Liu feel humiliated, so he didn't think about brotherly love, and with a push, he opened up a path for himself to walk towards the two brothers standing opposite him. He had to take a closer look, and if he couldn't find anything else, he vowed to skin Chen Shaoqin and Xue Yumei alive together, because this was another time they were playing tricks on him, and he absolutely could not accept such a thing happening to him for the second time.

  Lao Er and Lao San followed him, the abnormal behavior of Lao Da earlier had already made them feel very surprised, now that Lao Da personally went to test the target, it made them even more puzzled, so they all wanted to follow and take a look, and must figure out what's going on.

  Liu came to the wall and carefully examined the bullet holes, but he didn't find anything unusual. However, he believed that there was nothing special here, Chen Shaoqin wouldn't laugh in front of him and say such things, so he decided to investigate further.

  Then, Liu pushed open the bamboo door that was slightly ajar and only then did he discover that after penetrating the wall, the bullet had hit two swallows. The two swallows were clearly flying in formation during flight when Chen Shaobin aimed at them with his gun and shot them through. On the spot, both swallows fell to the ground, and their positions were almost on a straight line.

  "This……" The second and third elders were so shocked by the pair of swallows in front of them that they couldn't say a word, clearly not daring to believe that all this was real. In their view, it was absolutely impossible for anyone in this world to use a Mauser pistol to penetrate a wall and kill two flying swallows with one bullet, which was simply a mythical story. But now, these impossible things were happening right before their eyes, of course, making them shocked and frightened.

  "My marksmanship is not even worth mentioning in front of that Chen kid!" Seeing all this, the arrogant and self-important Liu, who was still proud on the surface, suddenly became like a deflated balloon. He didn't even dare to walk out of the door and face Chen Shaoyin, which would make him feel ashamed and humiliated, and he even wanted to find a place to hide in the mud.

  "Big brother, no matter how amazing that kid's marksmanship is, all of this happened inside the house. Except for our own brothers, outsiders won't know anything about it. Why don't we just agree that the kid missed his target and didn't hit anyone? Then we can get rid of him directly. This way, today's incident won't spread out, and your reputation will still be intact in the Jianghu!" Old Three saw Big Brother's dejected look and took the initiative to suggest a plan, looking like he had already thought of a way to cover up everything, just waiting for Big Brother's consent.

  "Bastard!" Lao Liu slapped Lao San, "We're called bandits by others because we've indeed robbed some rich households and left no good reputation. But every one of us is a man of integrity, how can we do such despicable things?"

  Liu said, turned around and walked towards Chen Shaoqin outside the door. When he arrived in front of Chen Shaoqin, he immediately apologized to Chen Shaoqin and said his discovery: "Brother, I was really too arrogant, didn't expect that there is a sky outside the sky and people outside the world, so this time our competition, you won, I will fulfill my obligations as promised!"

  Chen Shaoqin was about to say something, advising the young man not to be so serious, but at this moment, several shells fell from the sky and landed on the school field, causing a series of explosions in an instant. The sand and dust were blown into the air by the shockwave, and it was almost impossible to see people around.
