Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

Shen Qing often traveled between Hongshan Village and the county town, and the road he had to take was controlled by this "tyrant".

If he tried to avoid seeing this "tyrant", he could avoid it for a day, but not for a day.

He would have to meet him sooner or later.

It was better to do it on the first day than to choose a day.

Now was the time to go and test the other party's strength.

Otherwise, if he refused today and lost the other party's face and became enemies with him, he would have no room to turn around in the future.

After killing the two people, Shen Qing did not stay there, but quickly got up and left, hiding in the alley next to him and waiting patiently.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps on the road, and a group of people passed by in front of the alley.

Shen Qing was sharp-eyed and saw Shen Xiaohu among them. He walked out of the alley and shouted, "Xiaohu."

Shen Xiaohu stopped suddenly with a bow and arrow in his hand.

He turned around and looked behind him. When he saw Shen Qing, he looked puzzled and hurried over to ask, "Brother Qingzi, why are you here?"

Shen Qing didn't explain too much and said casually, "Wait a minute."

Now that he was no longer restrained by the tyrants, he had the initiative in his hands.

Shen Qing was a little more confident and no longer seemed so anxious.

He moved his eyes from the front of Shen Xiaohu to the people behind Shen Xiaohu.

He was a little surprised to see the face of "Big Brother Ouyang Tiezhu".

If he remembered correctly, wasn't Big Brother injured?

Shen Qing was a little confused.

Except for this Big Brother, the remaining person was even more unfamiliar and was not from Linfeng Hall.

He looked to be in his early twenties, with dark skin and a resolute face. He was wearing a slightly white cotton coat, which wrapped his thin and strong body.

"Who is this..." Shen Qing asked.

"Yang Zhaoping." The twenty-year-old young man clasped his fists, introduced himself, and spoke very competently.

After he finished speaking, "Big Brother Ouyang Tiezhu" glanced at Shen Qing and said, "Are you the employer?"

"Huh?"

When this "Big Brother" spoke, Shen Qing immediately felt something strange.

His voice was similar to the previous one, and he looked similar, but his tone was completely different, and he was uncouth.

He immediately thought of what Ouyang Tiezhu had mentioned to him, that he had a younger brother.

"Are you... Ouyang Tieniu?"

When Shen Qing spoke, he glanced at Shen Xiaohu vaguely.

Shen Xiaohu hurriedly explained, "I bumped into him at the door when I was leaving."

Seeing that Shen Qing recognized him, Ouyang Tieniu did not deny it.

He stretched out two fingers very seriously, shook them in front of Shen Qing's eyes, and emphasized: "It was agreed at the beginning, two taels of silver, don't forget it!"

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, and reacted after a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Ouyang is really straightforward, let alone two taels, if he does well, he can get twenty taels."

"Really?" Ouyang Tieniu was a little surprised by the amount Shen Qing said, as if it touched his heart.

"Of course it's true, I'm well-educated and won't lie to you." Shen Qing said with a smile.

If he had followed the two men of Ba Ye at the beginning, he would undoubtedly be humble and passive, and easy to be manipulated.

But now it's different.

The two men sent by Ba Ye had been killed by him, and now Shen Xiaohu and four others followed him.

If they went together, they would have enough momentum and confidence.

It was related to his safety, and this was not the time to feel sorry for the money, so he made a bold promise.

In his opinion, Ba Ye had been domineering in the outer city for so long, and this amount of money should be there, it just depends on whether he can get it.

Shen Qing's words hit the mark of Ouyang Tieniu's heart.

What others don't know is that since Wang Mazi's death, he has no livelihood now, and the most lacking thing is money.

He went to Linfengtang today to ask for help from his eldest brother.

If he can make money, even if he meets his boss's boss, he doesn't mind supporting the scene. At worst, he will run away if he sees the situation is not right.

He is familiar with this way.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will lead to victory in every battle.

When Shen Qing saw Ouyang Tiezhu, he thought of something and asked, "I remember your brother told me before that you were working under Wang Mazi, that is, under this Ba Ye. How much do you know about this Ba Ye?"

Ouyang Tieniu recalled for a while and replied, "Ba Ye's original name was Zhao Ba. He came from the county city to make a living. When he was young, he picked up many heroes from the Eighteen Wards in the outer city, and finally established a foothold in this western city."

"He had five younger brothers, and now two are dead, leaving only three."

"How is Zhao Ba's cultivation?"

Ouyang Tieniu knew everything and said, "He practiced a hard Qigong called Tongbei Tieshan Kao, with brute force. He just started stretching and training bones last year. Now I guess he is only at the level of stretching, not at the level of training bones."

After listening to Ouyang Tieniu's words, Shen Qing was more confident.

After three or four days of hard training, he continued to improve his proficiency in Lingfeng Finger, and now he has entered the realm of stretching and has a way to transmit force.

Compared to this Zhao Ba, he is not much behind.

Shen Qing looked around at everyone and asked, "Is there anyone among you who is the best at archery?"

Seeing no one answer.

Shen Qing felt helpless, he looked at Shen Xiaohu and said solemnly, "You will hide behind us later, and then act according to the situation. Only hidden arrows are the most difficult to defend against."

Shen Xiaohu nodded heavily and said, "Okay."

After explaining, Shen Qing cupped his hands towards Xiao Zhi and others and said, "Please, please come behind me."

…

The outer city area outside the West City Gate.

In a low-rise shantytown, stands an unusually eye-catching house.

It has smooth walls, blue bricks and black tiles, and is lined with green trees. A stone-paved path leads to a half-open wooden door.

It is in sharp contrast to the surrounding simple houses.

In the house, Zhao Ba, the hero of West City movies, was sitting on the main seat in the main hall of the house.

He was wearing a black robe, with a stern face, and his hands kept tapping on the table, making a dull sound.

"What time has it been? Why hasn't that boy come yet?"

After a while, some of the subordinates got impatient and complained.

Zhao Ba picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip, then put it down, and said in a low voice: "I have sent someone over, and he will come over even if he doesn't want to come. In this Taiping County, except for those dignitaries, Besides, no one can disgrace me.”

"Don't be anxious, good things come slowly. I'm just a little hunter, and I can't make big waves."

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

Zhao Ba waved his hand to signal his men to be quiet.

"Okay, the person I called is here."

One of the men stepped forward, walked behind the door, and opened it.

Shen Qing was seen standing outside the door wearing a gray-blue cotton coat.
