Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 69 Zhao Family
  A water ghost jumped off the boat, but the moment he left the boat, a cold light flashed through.

The sharp-eyed sailor saw that the water ghost's head was penetrated by an arrow. The water ghost lost control in the air and fell into the water with a bang. A stream of red blood gushed out and spread on the surface of the water.

"Don't be afraid, get into the water together, and kill him if you get in the water!" The bandit leader quickly found a place to hide himself, and ordered loudly.

They are all water bandits, at least there is no real fear yet, because there is no despair yet.

Three water bandits jumped out at the same time. This time it was even more terrifying. As soon as they took off, one water bandit was shot dead.

The water bandit's body did not fall into the water, but fell directly on the deck.

The other two water bandits had better luck. They were shot and killed outside the deck area, and their bodies fell into the water.

The killing range of the 'Zhentian Bow' is five hundred steps, and currently all the six boats of the water bandits, large and small, are within this range.

Jia Qiang increased his agility to 51 points, which allowed him to draw the bow and shoot three arrows per second, which is particularly powerful.

He swept his fingers through the quiver at his side, and five arrows fell into his hand.

Then he placed the arrows one by one on the bowstring, stretched the bowstring, and shot the arrows.

Originally, his archery skills were pretty good after long-term hard practice. Coupled with the newly upgraded 'Spiritual Tactics [Intermediate]' effect, his arrows would automatically hit the target as long as they were five meters away from the target.

When shooting arrows on a ship, even a sharpshooter cannot guarantee 100% accuracy.

Because the hull of the ship will sway slightly with the water waves, a small error will be magnified many times over a distance of five hundred steps.

But Jia Qiang will not miss. All he needs to do is to shoot the arrow with all his strength and kill the enemy in the shortest time possible.

Not only did he prevent the water bandits on the large speedboat in front from entering the water, he also took care of the ships on the left, right and rear.

The quiver of arrows beside him seemed to be never used up. In fact, every time he swept his fingers over the quiver of arrows, he took out arrows from the inventory.

Xue Tong has truly seen the world. He has also met many brave people and made friends with them.

But he had never seen such a sharp archer standing on the river, while the water bandits from all directions fell one by one.

Jia Qiang started the fight, and Jia Qiang controlled the subsequent rhythm.

No water bandit can enter the water alive. Even those water bandits who have no intention of entering the water will turn into corpses as soon as their bodies are exposed to Jia Qiang's eyes.

After just a cup of tea, the canal became quiet.

You could still vaguely hear the sobbing of panic from the large speedboat ahead. At this moment, the bandit leader hated Manager Zhao to death, but he was still a few steps away from where Manager Zhao was hiding.

There was no obstruction in these few steps, so the bandit leader did not dare to go over and cause trouble for Manager Zhao.

"How dare you, the Zhao family, provoke the Xue family, who has such an amazing archer?" the bandit leader shouted angrily.

If he had known that the Xue family had such a sharp archer, he would have gone far away and would not have appeared in the sight of the Xue family's merchant ship.

The stewards sent by the Zhao family of the imperial merchants were considered eloquent, but at this moment, steward Zhao was hiding in a safe place like a quail, and the sobbing sound was made by him.

"Xue An, move the boat to the edge of the big ship in front!" Xue Tong saw that the water bandits were almost killed, and he quickly shouted instructions downwards.

Under the control of the crew, the Xue family merchant ship slowly approached the large clipper with a broken mast.

Of course, the bandit leader noticed the movement of the Xue family's merchant ship. He gritted his teeth, thinking that after the two ships approached, by surprise, as long as he boarded the Xue family's merchant ship, the sharp archer would be useless.

In order to survive, he mobilized all his strength and prepared to explode with all his strength.

The Xue family's merchant ship came into contact with the side of the large speedboat, and the two large ships shuddered. At this moment, the bandit leader flew out from the darkness, and he was extremely fast.

He thought very well. Even a sharp archer would not be able to shoot arrows stably when the big ships collided.

All he wants is an opportunity. As a water bandit living on the water, he knows what will happen when two ships collide.

But the moment he flew out and revealed his body, an arrow shot into his head, entering from the eye and penetrating the skull. When he was shot, the bandit leader was still in the air and his feet had not touched the ground. When he landed, he turned into a corpse.

"Don't kill me, I surrender!" Manager Zhao was scared to death this time. The dead body of the bandit leader was lying next to him, and a hollow eye that had been shot through seemed to be looking at him.

"Brother Jia Xian, it would be useful for me to keep him alive!" Xue Tong said to Jia Qiang.

"Okay!" Jia Qiang smiled slightly and put away the 'Zhentian Bow'.

He is not worried about any other water bandits. In fact, his archery skills are the worst among all combat abilities. If it weren't for the help of 'Spiritual Warfare [Intermediate]', he would be above average.

Ten Xue family crew members rushed onto the large speedboat with knives and guns, and caught Manager Zhao who was lying limp on the ground.

Three living water bandits were also found. These three living water bandits were also frightened and were able to survive until now because they lost their courage.

Those who thought they were strong enough fell down in the middle of the dive one by one.

Jia Qiang ignored the next matter of cleaning the battlefield.

The Xue family merchant ship cleaned up all the ships one by one, and then pulled the ships behind the merchant ship with ropes.

"Brother Jia Xian, on behalf of everyone on the ship, I want to thank you for your life-saving grace. If you hadn't taken action, maybe I would have become this underwater ghost!" Afterwards, Xue Tong set a table of food and wine and raised a glass of wine.

After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Then there was a continuous cough. It seemed that his body was not very capable of drinking. It was entirely to express his gratitude to Jia Qiang that he drank like this regardless of his body.

"Brother Xue is in trouble, why didn't you see a doctor?" Jia Qiang made Xue Tong calm down and asked while drinking.

"Why haven't you seen it? From the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, I have even called in the imperial doctor. He just said that his body was exhausted. I have tried all kinds of good medicine, but it has no great effect!" Xue Tong put down his wine glass and shook his head helplessly with a smile. .

"Then don't work too hard. It's important to take good care of yourself!" Jia Qiang advised again.

"I'm not afraid of Jia Xiandi's jokes. I have a treacherous son who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. I can only support myself and work for a few more years. I hope the treacherous son will wake up and take over the business soon!" Xue Tong said with a sigh.

Jia Qiang naturally understood who the traitor Xue Tong was talking about was Xue Pan.

Needless to say, Xue Pan's character is known as "The First Overlord of Jinling" and nicknamed "The Overlord of Dumb".

"There is no separation between medicine and martial arts. I have learned some medical skills, so why not let me take a look at it for you!" Jia Qiang thought for a while and felt that Xue Tong was a good person, so she said with a smile.

"Brother, please check, the only thing I worry about is my children. If I can live a few more years, it will be enough to watch my children get married!" Xue Tong put his wrist in front of Jia Qiang and said.

Jia Qiang stretched out her hand and took Xue Tong's pulse.

Indeed, as he said, there is no separation between medicine and martial arts. He has practiced the 'Jia Shi Hundred Turns Refining Technique' and the combat skills in the 'Yangong Bingshu', and has done some research on the human body's qi and blood.

When he took his pulse, he knew from the movement of the pulse that there was something wrong with Xue Tong's internal organs, and he couldn't detect the details.

After all, he is just a pretender, not a specialist in medicine.

"I have a method of acupoint massage, let me try it on you first!" Jia Qiang didn't finish what he said. In fact, he didn't know whether the 'healing technique [intermediate level]' could treat this condition.

But one thing is certain, that is, the 'Healing Technique [Intermediate]' can definitely cure the symptoms.

Jia Qiang's so-called acupoint massage method is actually the ordinary massage method used in martial arts, except that when he used the massage method, he used the 'Healing Technique [Intermediate]'.

Just after he cast the 'Healing Technique [Intermediate]', Xue Tong's blood bar was revealed in front of his eyes.

Xue Tong's health bar was less than half empty. Jia Qiang first performed a 'Healing Technique [Intermediate]' to fill up Xue Tong's health bar, and then performed another 'Healing Technique [Intermediate]'. This time it was a slow release. Effect.

In the next few days, the 100-point increase in blood volume will slowly affect Xue Tong's body.

Xue Tong didn't believe Jia Qiang at first. Jia Qiang was a scholar and an expert archer. At his age, Jia Qiang was already an extremely talented person. It was impossible to say that he also learned medical skills and surpassed the imperial doctor.
