The archers on the roof were horrified when they saw Qin Ning knocking down the whipman in just a few moves. He bent his bow and nocked an arrow. Qin Ning turned his head and said with a smile, "Do you want to try again? You know that with your Archery can't hurt me at all."
The whip man struggled to get up, and when he realized he had encountered a hard nail, he took two steps back, turned around and ran away. Qin Ning chuckled, flashed his body, and blocked the whip man's path in an instant. He said with a smile: "The old beggar keeps his word. You haven't kowtowed yet, how can you just leave like this? The old beggar wants to send you to the government."
The whip man gritted his teeth, his body suddenly shook, his eyes bulged, and he slowly lowered his head. He saw a sharp arrow piercing his chest from behind, but Qining was also heartbroken. He didn't expect that long The archer actually shot his companion, and the whipman raised his hand to grab the arrow, shook his body, and then fell to the ground.
Qi Ning's expression turned cold. When he saw the archer turning around and walking away, he immediately stepped forward and chased after him. Ximen Zhanying also saw the archer trying to escape. At this time, with the help of a beggar with strong martial arts skills, he was confident and followed closely. Qi Ning shouted from behind: "Don't run!"
The archer was extremely fast, and Qining's speed was even more impressive. The archer flew away on the roof, while Qi Ning chased him down the long street. In just a moment, Qi Ning was already on par with the archer, and sneered and shouted: "I said If I don’t let you go, you won’t be able to leave.”
After running for more than ten steps, the archer seemed to know that it was difficult to get rid of Qi Ning. He suddenly stopped and turned around. Qi Ning also stopped. The two looked at each other with sharp eyes.
Although Ximen Zhanying was much slower, he had already caught up with him and stared coldly at the shooter on the roof.
The shooter sighed and said: "Your Excellency's martial arts are admirable. I am convinced that I am no match for you."
"Since you know you are not your opponent, why don't you still obey?" Qi Ning said coldly: "Why don't you get down?"
The shooter shook his head and said: "Since you are an expert, you naturally understand that once people like us make a mistake, there are only two results, either to escape unscathed or to die on the spot. There is no way we will fall into the hands of our opponents."
"So you shot your companion?" Qining said calmly.
The shooter smiled and said: "Before he was injured, he could advance and retreat with me. He was my companion. But once he missed and got injured, he was my enemy. Naturally, I couldn't let him live."
"You are evil-hearted, who are you?" Ximen Zhanying asked coldly.
The shooter said: "If I can tell you what I know, I don't have to be afraid of falling into your hands. Senior, you are very skilled and I am no match for you, but if you want to catch me, it won't be that easy." "
Qi Ning said: "We can give it a try."
"Senior, you misunderstood." The shooter said with a smile: "I'm not saying that you don't have the ability to catch me, but you won't do that, because you are different from me. You still care about this girl's life. I don't care about anyone. life."
Qi Ning frowned and sneered: "What do you mean by this?"
"My archery skills are not worth mentioning in front of seniors." The archer said slowly: "I also think that I have no ability to hurt seniors at all, but the girl next to you is different. Seniors, are you willing to make a bet with me? As long as I If you wish, one arrow will be enough to kill her.”
Ximen Zhanying's pretty face was startled. She had just seen this person's archery skills. Although Qining could easily dodge it, it did not mean that this person was not good at archery. In fact, it was just the opposite. Ximen Zhanying did not know archery skills. As a member of the Shenhou Mansion, she had some experience with all kinds of weapons. She naturally understood that this man's archery skills were actually extremely good, and he could definitely be regarded as a top archer.
Qi Ning was able to dodge because of the ghost's movement skills, but Ximen Zhanying knew that he would never be as skilled as Qi Ning. If the archer really wanted to shoot him, it would not be difficult.
She glanced at the beggar next to her. Under the moonlight, her rather slovenly yellow face had a solemn look on her face. She secretly regretted it. She knew she shouldn't have followed him just now. If only this beggar had caught up, the archer would There is absolutely no reason to escape, but now that the archer is using himself as a threat, things will be in trouble.
She blamed herself in her heart, but Qining also knew that what the archer said was true.
The archer can do it almost in the blink of an eye, whether he is bending the bow to nock an arrow or shooting an arrow. He is extremely skilled, and he does not know that he has practiced it thousands of times. He can dodge the archer's arrows, but Ximen Zhanying Obviously it can't be done.
"Are you threatening me?" Qining said coldly.
The archer shook his head and said: "It's not a threat, it's a plea. I don't want to die here, so I can only make this move. Senior is from the Beggar Clan. We have never had any enmity with the Beggar Clan. Senior just wants to save this person." Girl, now that this girl is safe and sound, and I have left one life as an apology, shouldn’t seniors also kill them all?”
Qining smiled and said: "You are very frank, and I really like your frankness."
The archer also smiled and said: "When I met senior today, I realized that there are many talented people in the Beggar Clan. In fact, in this Aoki Conference, senior can definitely compete to be the leader of the gang."
"That won't bother you Northern Han people." Qining said with a smile.
Ximen Zhanying's delicate body trembled, and the archer smiled and said: "Senior has good eyesight, so he can see my origin."
"If you want to kidnap people from the Shenhou Mansion to claim credit, it can only be done by people from the Northern Han Dynasty." Qining raised his hand and scratched his face and asked: "By the way, are you from Jiutian Tower?"
The archer said: "There are many masters in the Northern Han Dynasty, but there is not just one Jiutian Tower."
Qi Ning thought that it was said that Jiutian Tower was controlled by Muyun Hou of the Northern Han Dynasty, and Muyun Hou Beitang Huanye was also one of the five great masters. Such a figure may not have the mind to get involved in domestic battles. After all, if Beitang Whoever Huanye wants to support, there will be no internal fighting among the princes in Han Dynasty vying for the throne. Since these people are fighting for the throne unscrupulously, it is naturally because Beitang Huanye is not involved.
Although Mu Yunhou is in charge of Jiutian Tower, he may not really get involved. However, since Mu Yunhou is not involved, Jiutian Tower will not get involved rashly, let alone allow other princes to be sent out to assassinate them. Beitang wind.
"You are a very straightforward person, and I appreciate your straightforwardness." Qining said with a smile: "Since you are pleading with me, you will definitely feel very uncomfortable if you kill all the old beggars."
The archer smiled and said: "Senior will never care too much about us unknown people."
Qining sighed, waved his hand, and the archer immediately said: "Thank you, senior." Although he was far away from Qining, he still stepped back cautiously. Ximen Zhanying was anxious, but he had no choice but to see the archer. After disappearing, he stamped his feet and said bitterly: "Damn it, let him run away."
Qi Ning glanced at Ximen Zhanying. Under the moonlight, the unwilling look on his face was really beautiful. He didn't want to get too close to Ximen Zhanying. After all, Ximen Zhanying was quite familiar with him, and this girl was also If you're not stupid, don't let her see the flaw. He coughed and said, "Go back quickly, but don't run around alone again." Without saying much, he turned around and left.
Ximen Zhanying hurriedly caught up and said: "Senior, just now... thank you for your help just now."
Qi Ning didn't look back, and said in a hoarse voice: "The old beggar can't watch a girl being bullied. I say girl, you have to change your temper. From now on, don't run around alone when you have nothing to do. There are always people around you." Just like these few people, there are no dangers out there, you can't always meet someone to help you."
Ximen Zhanying knew that what the beggar said was true, and said: "I have remembered what senior said. Senior, may I ask your name?"
Qi Ning said as he walked: "He is just a beggar who feeds thousands of families. He is nameless. Girl, please go back quickly."
Ximen Zhanying kept a distance of two steps from Qi Ning, not daring to go beyond. After all, if it wasn't for this beggar to help tonight, the consequences would be really unimaginable. Ximen Zhanying felt really grateful and immediately said: "Senior, aren't you willing to tell me your name?"
Qi Ning stopped and sighed: "Girl, you are a member of the official family, and I am just a beggar. There is a huge difference in status, so it is best not to have too much contact with them."
"So what?" Ximen Zhanying said immediately: "Are beggars any shorter than others? As long as you are kind-hearted, there is no distinction between high and low."
Qining laughed and said, "It's a pity that not everyone sees it the way you do."
Ximen Zhanying hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Senior, junior... I have something to ask you, I don't know... I don't know if I should ask or not."
"Oh?" Qining said, "What's the matter?"
"Senior... Senior's footwork just now was very powerful. I wonder... I wonder if it was created by Senior himself?" Ximen Zhanying said in a slightly respectful tone.
Qi Ning smiled and said: "What? Girl, do you think that footwork is acceptable?"
"Actually... Actually, this junior has seen such footwork before." Ximen Zhanying said: "That person... That person's footwork is almost exactly the same as that of the senior, so...!"
Qi Ning immediately thought that Ximen Zhanying had seen his Xiaoyao Xing before. He turned around and looked at Ximen Zhanying. Ximen Zhanying hurriedly took a step back, looking a little reserved. Qining asked with a smile: "Have you ever seen someone leave? Walking like this? Who is that?"
Ximen Zhanying did not answer, but just said: "Maybe... maybe I remembered it wrong."
Qi Ning rolled his eyes and suddenly thought: "Girl, the old beggar tells you the truth, there are only two people in the world who know this set of steps. Apart from the old beggar, only the old beggar's apprentice has learned it." go."
"Apprentice?" Ximen Zhanying was stunned for a moment, then said: "That means I admitted my mistake. The senior's apprentice is also a member of the Beggar Clan, right?"
Qi Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true. My apprentice and I are very destined, and we met by chance, but he is kind-hearted, handsome, and has excellent character. Although he comes from a good family, he is not a noble man. He had a good airs and was kind to others. The old beggar saw that he was a talent, so he passed on this set of footwork to him."
"Senior said... the apprentice he was talking about, but... his name was Qi Ning?" Ximen Zhanying's eyebrows showed a look of joy.
Qi Ning deliberately looked surprised and asked: "Do you know Qi Ning? Yes, my apprentice is Qi Ning."
"We know each other." Ximen Zhanying said immediately: "Junior... Junior and he are... friends, and we are very familiar with him."
Qi Ning said "Oh" and wondered: "You are from the girl's family, how can you be familiar with him? My apprentice has never told me that the girl's family is his friend." Thinking of something, he said: "Yes Yes, I happened to bump into him last time when he went to Dongqi as an envoy. We drank two more drinks that time, and I tricked him into telling the truth. He actually mentioned a girl and couldn't forget her."
Ximen Zhanying immediately asked: "Which girl did he mention?" He seemed to realize that he was a little embarrassed, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said slightly shyly: "Senior, he... which girl did he talk to you about?"
