Chapter 240 A Cold Arrow

"How did my grandfather praise me? What's my reputation? Is it worth living?"

The governor of Dengzhou, Li Ji, obviously did not expect Duan Yi to answer the question like this, he glanced at Duan Wenchang in a daze.

Isn't this just polite talk between people?

Duan Wenchang did mention Duan Yi, but he opened his mouth to talk about the unfilial son who wanted to kill his father.

Seeing that Duan Wenchang was at a loss for words, Li Ji looked at Duan Yi kindly, "I praise you for your filial piety and high ability. Although you are a girl, you are a woman who does not give way to a man, and can be in charge."

Duan Yi nodded seriously when she heard the words, "If the sage said seventy without confusion, my grandfather is indeed old enough to recognize the reality."

Standing next to Duan Yi and listening, Cheng Qiong wished he could dig a hole and bury his head in the ground.

My lord, don't praise yourself so solemnly!What a shame!

Li Ji listened, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He saw that although Duan Yi was a strange person, his tone was friendly, and he said, "We are all from the same family. There is no reason to fight each other. Why don't you take a nap and see uncle?" Take this rich water?"

"When the time comes, we will join forces, and the world will be profitable? My niece doesn't like red makeup but martial makeup. How about being the number one general under my uncle's command?"

Duan Yi burst out laughing.

She picked up a few prickly ash peppers, stuffed them into her mouth, and chewed them like soybeans.

"What's the matter? I'm afraid my uncle ate a pot of peppercorns, or why is his head so numb that he can't think about things? It's good to join the army. Since Li Shishi likes being my elder so much, how come How about I make you the emperor's uncle?"

"King Duan's uncle, it sounds like someone who climbed a high branch and daydreams, it suits you very well, doesn't it?"

Not only the Duan family army, but also the Fushui army above the city tower couldn't help laughing out loud.

Uncle Li was furious, he glanced at Duan Wenchang, and said sharply, "Why didn't father-in-law talk about her?"

Duan Wenchang raised his eyelids, like dead lumps that can't be splashed with oil, "It's too early to say."

Uncle Li said something, but was at a loss for words.

"Cao Ben!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dengzhou Army branched out, and a soldier in his early twenties, wearing a green armor, rushed out.

The armor was very unique, there were cracks on each piece of armor, as if the thousand-year-old tortoise had green hair, people couldn't help but stare at him.

Before Duan Yi could speak, Xu Yi from this side had already slapped his horse forward, fighting with the young general Cao Ben.

Duan Yi watched with relish, Xu Yi's ancestors were executioners all over his body, he was full of evil spirit, and he acted abnormally fiercely, he slashed at Cao Ben's vitals.

But Cao Ben looked like a living person, but he was like a ten-thousand-year-old zombie, with a body of copper skin and iron bones. Xu Yi's big knife slashed at him, but he remained motionless.

The two of them attacked one by one and defended by another. The fight was inseparable, and it was hard to tell the winner for a while.

Duan Yi saw it in her eyes, and waved to Uncle Li, "You have such a big face, I don't know how powerful your hands are! Do you dare to fight me? Don't worry, because you are my uncle, I'll leave you with a whole body."

Uncle Li blushed instantly.

If he doesn't fight, others may laugh at him. If he fights...he is not a military commander. Although he is a gentleman and has learned some riding and archery skills, if he really fights, how can he be the opponent of those reckless people?

Although Duan Yi is a young girl, I heard that she is a good hand in the army all the year round.

It's good if you win, but if you lose...

After such a meal, Duan Yi laughed contemptuously.

Uncle Li clenched the long sword in his hand, snatched the big drumstick beside him in a fit of shame, and thumped the war drum.

Duan Yi watched, but didn't care, she turned her head to look at Cheng Qiong, "It's up to you!"

Immediately afterwards, he raised the spear in his hand and ran forward.

She is very different now from when she was in Jincheng. In the past, the only generals available by her side were Su Yun and Lao Jia, but now there are Wei Meng, Ao Xu and others. Several groups of horses lined up and moved towards the enemy. rush away.

Watching that battle made people feel sorry for each other, and Cheng Qiong was in the middle army with Qi Lang, and You Fanyao led the Chu Family Village to protect each other.And the rear army even has Han Dashan, who was newly recruited in Jingling, spending time with Li Yuan.

When Xu Yi came back to his senses, several war horses roared past behind him and rushed into the Dengzhou army. The Duan family's army surrounded them, and the two sides stood in a group.

Xu Yi watched with shock in his eyes.

The last time he played against Duan Yi was in Jincheng at the beginning of winter.It has only been a few months now, and her skill has improved rapidly, which is not the same as before.

The ancestors of his family were all executioners, and their sword skills were fierce, as long as they could cut off a human head, there was nothing fancy about it.

In the past, Duan Yi's marksmanship was inherited from Gu Congrong, and he had the common fault of a famous teacher passing down his family, which made people dazzled when he fought.

But over the past few months, he can clearly see that Duan Yi's style has changed.Now with the gun in her hand, none of the moves is superfluous, almost killing her with a single shot.

If the imperial court executes a sentence, it does not force the beheading, but the throat can also be sealed.

All the executioners in the world may ask Duan Yi to steal her job!

Not only Xu Yi was frightened, but Shen Cheng on the tower was even more frightened.

"Father, is this an formation? The Dengzhou army didn't notice it at all, and it has already entered the pocket of the Jingling army. Although I don't know how to break the formation, I can see the whole situation from a high-energy perspective, and I can see some ways."

"Then Governor Li..."

Shen Cheng's head buzzed, he turned his head, and Shen Hui in military uniform came into view.

He grabbed Shen Hui's wrist and said angrily, "Why are you still here? Didn't you tell you to leave the city quietly with your mother and younger brother and go to the capital? This rich water can't be kept. If you stay here, you will die." Character."

"You are a girl, and you were born well. You don't know the governor of Dengzhou, he is a greedy and lustful person. When the time comes for your father to die, what should you do? Hui Niang, I know you didn't grow up by my side, and I feel I'm sorry, Aunt, for being partial to your younger brother."

"But, you are also my daughter. Now that it's life and death, you don't have to be stubborn."

Shen Hui's eyes moved slightly, she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

Taking advantage of Shen Cheng's unpreparedness, he took the bow and shot the arrow in one go.

With a swish of the long arrow, it flew towards the direction where Uncle Li and Duan Wenchang were.

Shen Cheng was shocked, but it was too late to stop him. He looked at Shen Hui excitedly, and said angrily, "You!"

Shen Hui took the bow and said mockingly, "Isn't father worried about me? Afraid that I would fall into the hands of the governor of Dengzhou? Since Fushui can't be kept anyway, why don't we join the Jingling army and defeat the Dengzhou army?"

"At that time, the third lady will be in charge of Fushui. She is a girl, so why is my daughter in danger?"

Before Shen Cheng could speak, Shen Hui said again, "I did not turn back when I opened the bow. I shot a cold arrow at the governor of Dengzhou. Father has no choice but to sit on the sidelines. Get ready to fight!"
