Chapter 406: Leading You to Achieve Merit

I dodged it twice, which made Zhang Jing even angrier. His shooting skills were very good, and he could almost hit the target 100%. How could a little kid like me, who looked only 14 or 15 years old, be able to dodge his attack? If I told others about it, wouldn't they all laugh at me?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jing wished he could poke eight or ten holes in my body and turn me into a sieve.

Zhang Jing thought so and did so. He danced like a silver pine tree with great vigor, sweeping away all the snow within a few dozen steps of him.

Without the snow on the ground, it is much easier for me to move around.

I rushed towards the officer who was holding my axe, and before he could react, the axe was in my hand. He stared at me in disbelief with his empty hands.

With the axe in hand, my confidence increased immediately. I rushed towards Zhang Jing with the axe in hand, shouting, "Just in time."

Zhang Jing didn't take me seriously at all. His martial arts skills were second only to Zhao Zhenyuan in the army. Every time the army held a martial arts competition, Zhao Zhenyuan was the commander and could not participate, but he always won the first place in the Zhao family army. People who get the first place too many times will become proud and conceited, and Zhang Jing is just like that.

He committed the great taboo of underestimating the enemy. Although my combat experience was not as good as his, my internal strength was far superior to his. This is the benefit of having all the eight extraordinary meridians opened up. The internal strength is like a continuous flow of river water. Not only does one become more flexible and light, but the moves can also be varied and are no longer limited to the original moves.

Moreover, after the internal strength is greatly increased, fighting against someone who has less internal strength than oneself is just like a child fighting an adult. The opponent's flaws will be discovered quickly.

The spear has more advantages than the short axe, and Zhang Jing is an expert in using the spear. His moves are fast, accurate and ruthless. He can kill the enemy with one move. If my internal strength is not better than his, I am afraid I can't dodge his moves. Unfortunately, my internal strength is far better than his. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Jing and I have exchanged dozens of moves, and he can't even touch the corner of my clothes.

Zhang Jing saw that he couldn't defeat me after dozens of moves, and sometimes I would counterattack him. My moves were fast and tricky, and he could hardly hold on. He couldn't help but panic. Even if he fought with General Zhao for dozens of moves, he wouldn't be so embarrassed. What's wrong with this little brat? It seems that his hair hasn't grown out yet, but why is he so flexible and his moves are so weird? The most important thing is that he seems to have predicted every move of mine in advance, and he can always avoid it in time and even counterattack. It's really weird!

Zhang Jing became more and more nervous as the fight went on. He initially underestimated the enemy and was careless, but became more and more cautious and careful in his responses. In the end, he had to admit that this kid was much stronger than himself. Most importantly, this kid seemed to have internal strength, and his internal strength was no less than that of General Zhao!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jing couldn't help but be shocked. Internal strength is not something that can be cultivated just by wanting to practice. Without decades of practice as a foundation, internal strength is just an empty thing.

But this kid looks only about ten years old, how could he have such a deep inner strength? Who is he?

Zhang Jing was shocked and anxious. What if I was a spy? With my high martial arts skills, it would be easy for me to escape.

Zhang Jing regretted sending someone to find an axe for me. If this kid didn't have a weapon, he might not dare to fight with me, and I wouldn't be in such a mess.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jing moved his spear faster. He was a general on horseback, often fighting one against a hundred without losing, but now he actually wanted to escape!

Zhang Jing despised himself for this idea thousands of times, and wanted to slap himself in the face, but now he was losing more and more. Zhang Jing could even hear the discussion and ridicule of the officials around him, which made him anxious and angry. As a result, he made many mistakes in his moves. Just when he was distracted, I chopped the spear in his hand to the ground with an axe, turned around, and put the axe on Zhang Jing's neck!

The spear in Zhang Jing's hand fell to the ground, but his hands were still in the position of holding the spear, only they were shaking constantly due to the shock and he couldn't even close his hands.

Everyone was stunned. The deputy general of the Zhao family army was actually defeated by a teenager!

The officers quickly realized that Zhang Jing was a hostage, and they couldn't let me go, so they came towards me with weapons in hand. Just as the officers were about to attack me, a loud shout suddenly came: "Stop it!"

When everyone looked back, they saw that it was Zhao Zhenyuan who was rushing over with a team of cavalry!

Zhang Jing was even more ashamed when he saw Zhao Zhenyuan. He was too ashamed to face General Zhao, who was like an old father to him. He was about to put his neck on the blade of my axe and kill himself. I quickly pulled the axe away, but Zhang Jing used too much force and stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

Zhao Zhenyuan held Zhang Jing and asked with concern, "Is Lieutenant General Zhang okay?"

Zhang Jing didn't dare to look up at Zhao Zhenyuan. He shook his head and said, "General Zhao, I am useless. I can't even beat a prisoner."

Prisoner?

Zhao Zhenyuan glanced at me. He didn't quite believe that my martial arts skills were better than Zhang Jing's, but Zhang Jing never lied. He felt a little sorry that he didn't watch our fight just now.

Zhao Zhenyuan asked me, "Why are you here so late at night, Ah Man?"

I put the axe on my shoulder and said, "I came here because I wanted to. But you, why don't you go back home to recuperate? What are you doing here?"

Zhao Zhenyuan sighed and said, "There are still more than 300 rebels missing. Your Majesty has ordered that the remaining rebels must be wiped out. I cannot return home for the time being."

I said angrily, "You only have half your life left, and you still don't know whether to live or die."

Zhao Zhenyuan said helplessly: "I know, I will go back home to recuperate tomorrow."

Zhang Jing listened to our conversation and looked up in surprise. He looked at me in disbelief, then looked at Zhao Zhenyuan and said, "Do you two know each other?"

I rolled my eyes at Zhang Jing and said, "Everything I said is true, but it's a pity that you don't believe it."

Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Zhenyuan, who was looking at me with a doting fatherly expression, and was so shocked that he took a few steps back and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

I said angrily, "Don't ask me who I am. I just told you to do great things, but you didn't believe me. Now that General Zhao is here, I will give the credit to General Zhao."

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Jing from afar, then looked at me, and asked in surprise, "What is the credit?"

I said, "I heard a sound coming from the bottom of the lake, but the ice was too slippery for me to walk across. But I was sure there was someone hiding under the ice."

Zhao Zhenyuan's face changed and his eyes flickered after hearing this. After a while, he said, "It's impossible for someone to hide under the ice. There must be a tunnel leading to the bottom of the lake. No wonder we can't find anyone. It turns out that this martial arts academy has dug a tunnel."

After Zhao Zhenyuan finished speaking, he immediately said to Zhang Jing: "Take your men to the lake to check the situation immediately. Make sure to find the entrance to the passage."

Only then did Zhang Jing understand why I asked him to perform a great deed, but he did not feel disappointed, because even if he believed what I said, he would have to report to Zhao Zhenyuan before taking any action.

The Zhao family army has strict military discipline, which can be seen in many details. Zhao Zhenyuan is indeed good at commanding the army.

"Yes, General!" Zhang Jing received the order and immediately left with a team of people.
