You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 574 - 262: Do You Want a Wife or Not? (Part 3)
The law of the jungle is the ultimate truth of the world!
He rode up in front of Ye Qingzhou, looking down with undisguised disdain and sarcasm in his eyes: "Central Plains people, submit or die?"
Perhaps his accent was too thick, Ye Qingzhou didn’t understand what he was saying.
But it wasn’t anything good anyway, and the naked malice already revealed the opponent’s attitude.
Ye Qingzhou casually picked up a longbow from the ground, and shot the wolf-toothed arrow he had just pulled from his own chest at the other, the drawing and shooting of the bow done in one swift motion.
With a whoosh, the arrow pierced through the man’s throat.
"Dare to kill my people? Courting death!"
Seeing his subordinate killed, Wuh Wei was furious, raising his hand and shooting an arrow straight at Ye Qingzhou’s face.
His archery was sharp, and he wielded a renowned bow within the tribe, the magpie blood dyed feather, famous for hitting fast-flying magpies and staining their white feathers with blood!
With a sharp whistle, the deadly arrow flew.
Ye Qingzhou, however, was unhurried, neither dodging nor avoiding, as if plucking a peach from the treetops, he "grabbed" the incoming arrow.
With a casual twist, the arrowhead was now pointed at its original owner.
"You take an arrow from me too!"
Whoosh~
The bow was like a full moon, the arrow like a meteor, and in the instant the string vibrated, Wuh Wei, a hundred steps away, fell to the ground from his horse.
This arrow from Ye Qingzhou, white rainbow piercing the sun, directly pierced through his skull.
"Lord Wuh Wei is dead!"
"Avenge Lord Wuh Wei!"
Wuh Wei was not only a warrior of the Owl Feather Division but also the son of the chieftain. With his death, the accompanying followers went mad.
"Kill this despicable Central Plains man, or we’ll all accompany him in death!"
"Kill this Central Plains bastard!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Stones flew like locusts, and although Ye Qingzhou had lost his cultivation in Qi Refining and Body Refining, his strong Divine Thought still afforded him terrifying combat power.
Facing the dense rain of arrows, he stepped on the Nine Palace Steps, always able to anticipate the arrows’ landing points in advance to dodge, simultaneously catching the flying arrows and counterattacking.
After consecutively killing seventeen people, the Donghu cavalry before him broke morale and fled in panic.
"Run away!"
"He’s not human!"
"He must have the protection of ghosts and gods, let’s go back and ask the High Priest to cast a spell to kill him!"
The Donghu people came and went like the wind, quickly disappearing without a trace.
Ye Qingzhou then started "looting corpses," picking up seven fine Donghu warhorses and a gemstone-encrusted long sword from Wuh Wei’s body.
The sword had "Jingzhe" engraved on its blade, sharp enough to cut hairs, its cold gleam clear, obviously the handiwork of a renowned craftsman from the Central Plains Liang Kingdom.
"An Donghu noble, eh? Your head ought to be worth something."
Ye Qingzhou swung the long sword, cutting off Wuh Wei’s head, preparing to take it back and see if he could exchange it for a reward.
......
"Military Marquis..."
"Those damned Donghu savages didn’t catch up, did they?"
"No, they didn’t."
"That’s good."
Currently, Liu Chang and his group were exhausted and were planning to rest before continuing on their way when suddenly a cloud of dust rose behind them, scaring him witless.
"Stay alert!"
Their hearts almost in their throats, only one person and seven horses arrived.
Just as Liu Chang thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, the follower beside him trembled as he spoke: "Shoot... Eagle Shooter Wuh Wei..."
On horseback were hung more than a dozen heads, one of which was unmistakably Wuh Wei’s, an arrow in his brow and an unpeaceful death stare, looking rather eerie.
Seeing Liu Chang and the others, Ye Qingzhou, thinking they might share a meal in the future, smiled and nodded.
Liu Chang and the others, however, were trembling, feeling like newcomers in the face of a top master.
Not until Ye Qingzhou’s horseback silhouette disappeared from sight did Liu Chang and the others dare to take big gulps of air.
Their faces were filled with uncertainty and astonishment: "Wuh Wei is dead?"
"He faced over a hundred Flying Bow Cavalry alone and not only escaped unharmed but killed so many? Is he the reincarnation of the Wuqu Star?"
To face one against a hundred!
What a peerless hero!
......
Enter Ye Qingzhou into Yu Yang County City, he was soon granted a personal audience with Governor Shen Huaimin.
At this time, the Da Liang Kingdom was in a tumultuous period, with endless factional strife at the court, unrest in the Northwest yet to be resolved, and the Northern frontier barbarians longing to move south at any moment.
Hence the wise had already begun to select heroes and talents, planning for the future.
Youzhou served as Da Liang’s northern frontier shield, with Yu Yang Commandery bearing the brunt, making Governor Shen Huaimin feel quite insecure. Therefore, upon learning there was a warrior under his jurisdiction who could fight one against a hundred and killed Eagle Shooter Wuh Wei, he was amazed and personally received him despite his own status.
To show his intention to be close, Shen Huaimin even hosted a banquet at his home.
At the banquet, after seeing Ye Qingzhou, who remained composed and dignified after killing, neither servile nor overbearing in the face of him, the Governor of a commandery, Shen Huaimin immediately admired his talent: "I wonder if Nephew Ye is betrothed."
"No,"
Ye Qingzhou shook his head.
The original was also an unfortunate fellow, whose parents were melon farmers from Yuzhou, with an elder brother at home.
When the county was conscripting, his brother wasn’t home, so he had to fill the headcount.
Initially promised he could go home after three years.
But three years turned into another three, now it’s been nine years, from fourteen to the age of adulthood, enduring nearly ten years of wind and sand in Youzhou, his family thought he had died.
"My daughter is turning sixteen, waiting in her boudoir..."
The words that Shen Huaimin next uttered left Ye Qingzhou speechless.
I just came to collect a bounty, yet you want to marry your daughter to me?
Is it really so hasty?
This being their first meeting, Ye Qingzhou couldn’t help but suspect if there was some conspiracy behind this.
Yet after thinking about it, he had nothing to be taken advantage of, so he straightforwardly agreed to the marriage, intending to leverage the Shen family’s influence to investigate the whereabouts of the Xuanyuan Sword.
