Chapter 223 The mountain is high and the sky is above
Being forced to this point by Li Xiake with a feather arrow is an unprecedented shame in Cao Tian's life, but it is also an unprecedented danger.
Before this, he never expected that one day he would be forced to this point by an arrow.
As the fourth among the four major divisions of the East Factory, Cao Tian is usually overwhelming. Not to mention the many subordinates of the East Factory, even the civil servants and military generals of the entire Ming Dynasty, they must be cautious and respectfully shouted "Eunuch Cao" when they see him, and no one dares to be arrogant.
But today, Li Xiake just shot an arrow and made him move, forcing him to dodge desperately and almost died on the spot.
Each of them is an amazing master of the world. He is skilled and brave, and is loyal to Cao Shaoqin and has long been put aside the matter of life and death.
Now that Li Xiake has taken action against him, how can Cao Tian still tolerate it? Although he is shocked by Li Xiake's ability, since he is an enemy, it is useless to be afraid. After hearing Li Xiake ask about the archery technique, Cao Tian naturally won't say anything good, and demote Li Xiake's archery technique to nothing.
"It turns out that there are quite a lot of tricks in this archery."
When Li Xiake heard Cao Tian belittle his archery technique, he was not angry and said with a smile: "I have never learned archery before. Although I have been thinking about archery techniques these days, the time is still short. It makes sense to say that I am not good at archery techniques."
He threw the bow and arrow in his hand at Cao Tian: "Come on, come and shoot me with an arrow, let me feel what's going on!"
At this time, Jia Ting had already stood up from his seat, and Lu Xiaochuan also jumped from the second floor to the downstairs. The two of them looked at Li Xiake with a look of horror on their faces, their hearts pounding. The other few men holding swords also looked at Li Xiake in surprise, and they didn't dare to take action, but sweat was rolling down their faces.
Seeing Li Xiake throwing the bow and arrow to Cao Tian, the people next to him were all confused, wondering what Guo Dalu meant.
"I said I had no malice."
When Li Xiake saw them, he was surprised and laughed: "Look at you, you are nervous. Even if I do something, I will attack Cao Shaoqin and bully you young children. That would be a bit unfair."
He waved his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down, I won't kill you. If you kill you, who will do my business for me in the future? Cao Tian, I've given you all the bows and arrows, why are you hesitating?"
The last sentence was said to Cao Tian, the fourth-level leader.
Cao Tian glanced at Jia Ting and others, took a deep breath, bent his bow and arrow, and pointed it at Li Xiake: "You asked me to shoot this!"
Whoosh!
Just as he was talking, the bowstring suddenly let go, and a little cold light went straight to Li Xiake's chest. After his arrow was shot, he almost pulled out three feather arrows from the quiver pot, bent his bow and shot it again at Li Xiake. After shooting out all the feather arrows in the quiver pot, he threw the bow and arrow aside, panting.
Cao Tian is the second only to Cao Shaoqin in the entire East Factory. He is proficient in archery techniques such as pearl arrows, phoenix tail arrows, wolf teeth arrows, etc. He is not as good as Jia Ting and Chang Yanxiao in frontal fights, but in the case of long-distance battles, Jia Ting and Chang Yanxiao may not be able to withstand the feather arrows he shot.
Each of them has their own good things. Jia Ting, the big boss, has a very skilled swordsmanship, and has already obtained the true teachings of Cao Shaoqin. In terms of strength, Jia Ting is naturally the most powerful. The second boss, Chang Yanxiao, is responsible for handling Dongchang documents and dares to endure them. He practices the Taiyin Heart Technique and rarely uses weapons because he is responsible for the handling of confidential documents. Chang Yanxiao did not follow them this time, but assisted Cao Shaoqin in managing Dongchang affairs and was unable to escape.
As for the third brother Xiaochuan, he is a flying needle hidden weapon, with few in the world, and his swordsmanship is also first-class. The four of them have their own strengths, but they also have their own weaknesses. Only the fourth brother Cao Tian has the most temper.
Therefore, Li Xiake asked him to shoot arrows, but he really dared to shoot, and he shot all the arrows in the quiver in one breath.
If it were Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan and others, this would never have been the case.
When Li Xiake saw the arrow shot from the other side, he sat at the wine table without dodging or avoiding it. He even closed his eyes, grabbed his palms from the front and back, and could not see how fast his palms were protruding out. However, the seven or eight feather arrows shot by Cao Tian were all grabbed by him in the palm of his hand, forming a small bundle.
After capturing all these arrows, Li Xiake lowered his head and pondered, saying nothing.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jia Ting and others looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything. The hall was quiet for a moment and could hear breathing.
Zhou Huaian and others saw Li Xiake’s behavior just now on the second floor, and everyone’s face changed color.
"He actually was arbitrarily fooled by the three major players in the East Factory. How powerful is this person?"
Zhou Huaian looked at Qiu Moyan: "Mo Yan, that's the only person who has fought with the four major players and has fought with Cao Shaoqin. Do you think which is better, Li Xiake or Cao Shaoqin?"
Qiu Moyan looked solemn: "I only fought Cao Shaoqin with one move, but with just one move, I knew that I was definitely not an opponent of this person, so I left quickly. He didn't take me seriously and let me escape. I just fought with these four big heads one by one. Each of these four people's kung fu was not simple, especially the big head Jia Ting, who had amazing sword skills and high internal strength, and was a strong enemy."
She said this and let out a light breath: "But the strength of the four people and Cao Shaoqin is simply incomparable. If Cao Shaoqin is a mountain, I might have only contacted a stone at the foot of the mountain. As for how high the mountain is and how hard the stone is, that is no longer something I can infer."
Zhou Huaian said: "What do you think of Li Xiake?"
Qiu Moyan pondered slightly and said, "If Cao Shaoqin is a mountain, then Li Xiake should be the sky."
"sky?"
"Yes, the mountain is high and the sky is above us. Li Xiake is the sky on the top of the mountain, and it is also the sky above us!"
Qiu Moyan looked at Zhou Huaian and others: "Don't you see it yet? Li Xiake is fearless at this Longmen Inn. He is not afraid of Cao Shaoqin at all. And you also said that he had fought with Cao Shaoqin in Datong. At that time, Cao Shaoqin was present and did not dare to take him down. Instead, he let him leave. Do you still understand the terror of this person? "
Zhou Huaian shook his head and said, "How can one person resist thousands of soldiers and horses with his power? If there is really such a person in the world to fight against the enemy country, what else should the army do? Mo Yan, you are thinking too much!"
He smiled and said, "At that time, Li Xiake fought with Cao Shaoqin in Datong Mansion. I had inquired carefully. It is said that Cao Shaoqin was willing to cherish talent, so he let him go. Otherwise, thousands of black flag troops would take action together and ten Li Xiakes would be killed!"
Qiu Moyan nodded slightly: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, but by the methods just now, all of us will not be his opponent. We already have the big enemy of Dongchang, and we must not provoke Li Xiake anymore."
He Hu, Tie Zhu and others had a deep feeling and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, never provoke Li Xiake, this person is even more terrifying than the people from the East Factory!"
In the hall.
Li Xiake slowly raised his head, opened his eyes slowly, and suddenly stood up and smiled, "So that's it!"
He stretched out his hand to Cao Tian: "Cao Tian, give me the bow, let's do it again!"
Cao Tian: "...Li Xiake, don't bully people too much!"
