When the man in black finished speaking, Su Qi'an was shocked, and the fingers on the arrow suddenly relaxed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another three arrows were fired straight at the man in black. These three arrows were so powerful that even experienced veterans did not dare to be careless.
The man in black moved, and he saw the right moment with the long knife in his hand. He swung it fiercely and broke three arrows at the waist.
The fact that the arrow was broken was not unexpected by Su Qi'an. Being able to see through Su Qi'an's strength and identity was enough to show that this person's identity was extraordinary.
Being targeted by such a person is also troublesome. Su Qian's eyes were solemn, and he pulled out a few arrows from the arrow basket behind his back. Without hesitation, he fired at the man in black again.
The arrow that shot through the air this time was obviously different from the previous ones. The arrow actually shone with a cold light under the moonlight.
Whoosh!
The cold arrow shot straight at the man in black's head. This time, it seemed that Su Qi'an had murderous intentions.
If a scholar with superb archery skills is investigated by some interested people, he will probably become suspicious, which is not a good thing for Su Qi'an.
If you want to prevent the matter from being spread and leaked, the best way to keep silent is to die.
The man in black picked up the long knife again. This time, although the cold arrow was broken, a dull explosion sounded at the moment of breaking.
Like the explosion of gunpowder, a puff of thick smoke instantly enveloped the man in black.
The man in black let out a light sigh, obviously curious about this strange arrow.
But then, in the thick fog, several arrows were shot into the thick fog again.
The angle Su Qian chose this time was very tricky, almost blocking the man in black's escape route.
clang! clang! clang!
Several dull metallic sounds sounded again in the thick fog, and then, the figure of the man in black rushed out of the thick fog.
"Haha, you are indeed a marksman. If I hadn't been experienced, I might have taken advantage of you just now."
"Although the marksman is strong, sir, do you know that the marksman has a fatal flaw, that is, he cannot fight at close range!"
Immediately, the man in black stepped forward fiercely, his body like a violent beast, holding a big knife, and rushed towards Su Qi'an.
The speed was so fast that no matter how quick Su Qian's reaction was, he could only shoot two arrows quickly.
Su Qian's face was calm, and his fingers still took out a few arrows from the arrow basket behind him, as if he wanted to make one last move.
The man in black looked at this scene, but shook his head disdainfully. With his speed, even a sharpshooter would not have a chance to draw a bow and shoot an arrow.
However, in just a few breaths, the man in black rushed in front of Su Qian, with the long knife in his hand clearly visible above his head.
Su Qi'an's expression remained unchanged. The arrows in his hand were not fired in a volley, but were held in Su Qi'an's hand.
The two arrows were like two weapons. He crossed his hands, raised them fiercely, and slashed the long knife above his head.
The imagined scene of the arrow breaking did not appear, and a harsh metal collision sounded in the air.
The long knife containing terrifying power was actually blocked by two arrows.
The man in black raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Hey, there's something weird about this arrow."
Before the man in black could think more, Su Qi'an's mouth curved in a strange way.
Su Qi'an pressed his fingers, and two seemingly ordinary arrows suddenly shot out. The arrows fell off, like two darts, and went straight to the door of the man in black.
The man in black was startled, his body turned violently, and the two arrows just brushed against the man in black's face.
The body of the man in black rolled in mid-air. When he landed on the ground, at some point, an arrow emitting a cold light was aimed at his head, only one meter away.
At such a close range, no matter how fast he was, he would only end up being shot by Su Qian.
"You lost." Su Qian looked at the motionless man in black with calm eyes.
"Haha, I underestimated you this time, but you don't want to know anything from me. If you want to kill me, I will cut you into pieces."
Before Su Qi'an asked, the man in black said directly. That kind of straightforwardness stopped Su Qi'an's intention of asking.
Su Qi'an did not speak, but slowly opened the long bow in his hand. The man in black closed his eyes slightly, as if waiting for death.
The bow string was drawn to its fullest, and the next moment, the arrow shot through the air.
Su Qi'an's faint voice sounded, "You are a loyal person, but you have never had murderous intentions towards me. Although I, Su Qi'an, want to silence you, I am not a villain who murders people violently."
"Your life is saved."
The man in black opened his eyes and stared at Su Qi'an with a surprised look.
Su Qi'an held a long bow in one hand and crossed his arms across his chest, looking casual.
"I don't want to know who you are or who the big shot is behind you, and I don't want to know. I, Su Qian, am just an ordinary person and I don't want to make grudges with others."
"The road is facing the sky, everyone goes to one side. You are a bit curious and want to test me. I understand. You can go."
"Remember, this is the first time, but it's also the last time."
Su Qi'an's voice was very soft, but he had a very strong aura. The man in black had no doubt that if there was a second such test, this scholar would definitely keep his word. "
The man in black stood up, raised his hand to Su Qi'an, and said apologetically.
"I'm sorry, sir, it was our fault this time. You are a great talent and you should be respected. To express my apology, I would like to thank your subordinates for these silver coins."
Immediately afterwards, the man in black took out a heavy money bag from his arms and threw it directly to Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an did not refuse and caught it with one hand.
Although Su Qi'an is not greedy for money, the silver he gave him should not be wasted, and this is compensation.
Although Su Qi'an later saw that the man in black did not have murderous intent in his attack, but was instead a test, on the other hand, it could also be seen that Su Qi'an's strength was extraordinary.
If Su Qi'an were defeated, the harmonious scene might not be as harmonious as it is now.
The man in black looked at Su Qi'an accepting the silver, feeling less apologetic in his heart, and raised his hand to Su Qi'an again.
"Don't worry, sir, no one will disturb you during the period before the county examination. You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind. My master looks forward to seeing you again."
"Here, I would like to congratulate you in advance on your high school. See you in Lingbei County! Farewell."
After saying that, the man in black moved and disappeared instantly. The woods in the distance rustled, swayed, and soon returned to calm.
Su Qian was a little surprised when he saw the clean-cut man in black who was about to leave, but he quickly figured it out.
If what Su Qi'an thought was true, he must have been sending a tiger during the day, and was noticed by a big shot in the county government, so he became interested in him.
In order to test his strength, he sent a master to compete with him.
Fortunately, in the end, Su Qi'an won, but this time it was a small victory, even a bit lucky.
The man in black who came was very strong. If he were to fight alone in close combat, Su Qi'an might not be his opponent.
But then again, survival in Great Liang does not rely on fists, but more importantly, brains and strategies.
Su Qi'an's military prowess in Great Liang was probably inferior, but in terms of strategies and tactics, he was familiar with the Thirty-six Stratagems in his previous life and was a master of Sun Tzu's Art of War. He could kill a man in black.
Watching the man in black go away, Su Qi'an thought a lot. Now this is just the beginning. He is being targeted by a certain big shot. When the county examination is held in a month, the people and things he will come into contact with will probably exceed Su Qi'an's expectations.
Although he was a little worried, Su Qian was also very open-minded. Since God allowed him to live again, he would naturally have to live up to his status.
In Great Liang, you have to create your own world no matter what.
Thinking of this, Su Qi'an took a deep breath, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and felt very good. After collecting the broken arrows after the battle, he quickly returned home.
At this time, in a fine wing of the Lingbei County Government Office, a black shadow, like a roc, flew high in the sky, climbed over the top of the wall, and sneaked into the wing in a few flashes.
Although the lights were not turned on in the wing, with the help of the moonlight, one could still see a tall young man sitting upright behind the desk, as if waiting for someone.
This kind of waiting lasted for almost half an hour. Suddenly, the closed door opened and then closed, and a black shadow stood silently in front of the young man.
"How." The young man uttered two words.
The black shadow said, "This person is very strong! It's beyond my expectation."
"Compared to you?"
The shadow was silent for a while, as if thinking, and then said. "In a distant battle, I am no match for him. In a close battle, he is four and I am six."
"Oh, it's rare for you to comment like this. Looking at the Splitting Mountain Army, it seems that this person is really the talent we are looking for." The young man sighed.
"Most likely, but Lord Marquis, although this person looks ordinary, he is quite unruly in his heart, and I can feel that the gentleman has already made some guesses about our identity."
"And during the battle, I held back my hand, and Mr. Su also held back his hand. His scheming was terrifying. If you want to recruit him, it won't be easy." Heiying thought for a while and said.
The young man nodded and said softly, "Well, it doesn't matter. Generally, people with great talents like this will be arrogant. It would be best to recruit them. Even if they fail, they must not be their enemies."
"Nowadays, Great Liang is changing. As a citizen of Great Liang, it is absolutely impossible for a person with such great talent to be willing to live in a small mountain village for the rest of his life. It depends on whether I can be a bole once and bring out this thousand-mile horse."
"I am ordering you not to bother Mr. Su with any matters during his preparation for the exam. At the same time, say hello to the examiner of this county exam. Remember, don't do anything too obvious. Everything must be done secretly."
"I'll take care of it now." As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow disappeared instantly.
Xie Cang, who was sitting behind the desk, his eyes flashed, looked up at the moonlight outside the window, and murmured softly.
"Mr. Su, I have done everything for you that I can do. Now I am waiting for you to shine in the county examination. Don't let me down."
At night, the moonlight shines, and the whole county is silent. Tonight, some people are fast asleep, but some people have not slept all night.
A big change is coming.
