Chapter 34: Burning the Reed Field

Gradually, when Liao Zhen stopped moving, Qin Feng did not rush over. Instead, he took out his crossbow, aimed at the opponent's neck and shot another arrow.

Well, it’s really dead, there’s no movement at all.

Seeing this scene, Qin Feng walked over with confidence.

Although it was his first time killing someone, he did not feel panicked at all. Instead, his thoughts were clear and he did not make any unnecessary movements.

The reason is simple. He has never eaten pork but he has seen pigs run.

There were countless such plots in the novels and TV shows of previous lives.

Among those who were killed, some died because of talking too much, some died because of arrogance, some died because of stupidity, and so on.

So in Qin Feng's mind, he has a general idea of ​​what should be done and what should not be done.

The assassination just now was a test of his "knowledge".

The most important thing is that a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit!

No matter what kind of enemy you face, as long as you want to kill him, you must use all your advantages to put him to death!

But to be honest, when Qin Feng was launching the sneak attack just now, he actually had many plans in his mind.

He didn't think he could kill Liao Zhen easily, and he was still thinking about how to deal with the consequences.

Who would have known that this man's life was so fragile? Even the warriors were no exception and were easily killed instantly by his crossbow.

This thing still works!

Qin Feng subconsciously glanced at the crossbow in his hand and thought to himself.

The road of martial arts is a long one.

When a low-level warrior is attacked by surprise, the defensive ability is not much different from that of an ordinary person. Only by becoming a high-level warrior can one have the means to protect the body with true Qi.

In addition, high-level warriors have sharp eyes and ears, and their physical fitness has been greatly improved, so you will be discovered in advance before you launch a sneak attack.

Therefore, sneak attacks are no longer effective against experts.

Unless your attack distance is extremely long, like the ninth-grade archer Yan Xiaoyi.

Or, you could have a sniper rifle.

Not to mention high-level warriors, even a grandmaster would have a chance of dying when facing a heavy sniper rifle.

Without thinking too much about those things, Qin Feng came to Liao Zhen.

Then he took out his dagger and used the tip of the sword to pry open the man's coat.

He was afraid that this guy had hidden drugs or some other poison in his clothes.

Although the possibility is very low, Qin Feng still has to be cautious.

Soon, the clothes were picked open and there was no danger.

Then Qin Feng began to search this guy to see what he had on him.

Liao Zhen was definitely not just the owner of a small martial arts school, but Qin Feng had no idea who he was.

He found a lot of things on Liao Zhen, including several small bottles of pills, a book, and some money.

Qin Feng recognized most of the pills in the small bottle. They were just daily medicines for healing and detoxification. There was only one pill he didn't recognize.

But judging from the taste, it is definitely a good thing. It contains ginseng, polygonatum and other herbs, which are all very tonic.

Then there is the book called Flying Bird, which is actually a manual on martial arts secrets.

Qin Feng flipped through a few pages at random. Judging from the text, it was quite advanced and could not be learned in a short time.

Finally, as for the money, there were fifteen silver notes of one hundred taels, four silver notes of fifty taels, more than ten taels of silver and some copper coins.

This adds up to more than 1,700 taels of silver, which is a huge sum of money!
Not to mention a small place like Pingchuan County, even in Kyoto, you can buy a small yard.

Qin Feng didn't have much time to sort out the harvest carefully. His elder brother had probably run far away, and if he didn't catch up, he might not be able to find him.

Moreover, Liao Zhen had been hunted before, and if he didn't run away now, he might be implicated.

So he put the things into his bag and immediately chased in the direction of his elder brother. In fact, Qin Feng was overthinking. The reed field was densely covered with reeds, and it was very difficult to track a person.

Liao Zhen had already shaken off the pursuers, and Qin Feng's battle just now didn't make much noise, so no one would find this place in a short time.

"Are you okay? What happened?"

When Qin Yun saw Qin Feng again, he immediately came up to him with a concerned look on his face.

"It's nothing. There was just someone nearby. I thought it was a lake bandit, but later I found out it wasn't."

Qin Feng did not tell the truth, but made an excuse.

"Where is that person?" Qin Yun looked behind Qin Feng but didn't see anyone.

"He was afraid I was a thief, so he left."

"I see. Then..."

"and many more!"

"What's wrong?" Qin Yun was stunned.

Qin Feng did not answer, but looked up at the sky, his face instantly becoming ugly.

Because he saw gray-black flying catkins floating in the sky.

That is not a beautiful sight, but the ashes turned into after the reeds were burned!

The wind blew it over his head.

"Get down! Stand still!"

Qin Feng took a few steps back, then suddenly stepped on his elder brother's shoulder and jumped, flying over the height of the reed field in an instant.

Southwest!
The fire came from the southwest.

It was midsummer at the time, and it was a lush reed field. A little spark would probably burn it to ashes in about ten minutes!
Qin Feng had anticipated this when he escaped here before, so when he fled, he tried his best to run towards the north.

It's humid over there and next to the lake, so even if someone sets a fire there, there's no danger to life.

But at this time, they were still some distance away from the lake.

"Quick, run north!"

At this moment, Qin Feng pulled Qin Yun and ran north.

He was racing against his life. He dared not delay or hide his shortcomings and ran at full speed.

Fortunately, he discovered the fire in advance, and ran as fast as he could, and finally escaped to the lake before the fire broke out.

Feeling the rolling heat waves above their heads, the Qin Feng brothers hurriedly dived into the lake.

Qin Feng was not worried about the banknotes and the secret book getting wet, because he had a special waterproof oilcloth bag in his bag.

It was originally used to store medicine, but now it comes in handy.

Qin Yun can also swim. After all, he grew up in the village and played in the water a lot when he was a child.

At this time, the two men were swimming in the lake, looking at the burning reeds on the shore, their eyes full of fear.

This fire is no joke. If I had run a little slower, I would have lost my life.

"go there!"

Because of the wind direction, the fire point, and the moist soil, there was a patch of reeds in the northwest corner of the reed field that had not been burned by the fire.

The two brothers swam over quickly and sat down in the wetland.

"The bandits were defeated!"

After the fire, the view in the reed field suddenly became much wider.

Qin Feng saw from afar that the bandits had been killed and the soldiers in the distance were rushing towards the viewing pavilion.

It seems that if they wait a little longer, they will be able to go out.
