Chapter 258: The Visitor
Zhang Lida arrived at the Xiqi Shooting Range very early that day. He had been waiting for a long time but did not see Guan Wenliang coming with his two children, so he seemed a little unhappy.
Zhang Lida had a majestic figure, with rough skin on his long, dark face, thick black eyebrows with upturned ends, and a daunting look. His appearance gave people a fierce feeling, and he seemed a little unhappy at the moment, making him even more difficult to approach.
"Why did you come just now? Where is the sparring partner named Wu Xunsheng?" Zhang Lida asked.
"He will be here soon." Guan Wenliang said.
"I waited for you for a long time before you finally arrived. There is still one person who hasn't come yet. What are you doing dawdling?" Zhang Lida looked at Guan Wenliang dissatisfiedly and said, "I have already prepared the horses and bows and arrows. I want to see what level the two children have reached first. Now that the other child hasn't come, what do you think, should I see the young patriarch first, or wait for that child to come and see them together?"
Guan Wenliang said: "Let's look at the young patriarch first."
Tie Hongyan looked at Zhang Lida and felt that his eyes were not friendly. He missed the kind-looking Fei Cunyi even more.
"Come with me!" Zhang Lida said to Tie Hongyan seriously.
Although Tie Hongyan didn't like Zhang Lida very much, he couldn't do anything but go over. Zhang Lida then began to test Tie Hongyan's current horse archery level.
Guan Wenliang stood aside, thinking: What's so great about being a horse archery master? You are so arrogant in front of me. Don't you know what kind of person I am in the eyes of the clan leader? If you make me angry, let the clan leader teach you a lesson!
Chapter 55
On that road with plants growing on both sides, the people who beat Wu Xunsheng had already left, leaving Wu Xunsheng lying alone on the ground. He was in pain all over, his hands and feet were tied, and there was a tin bucket on his head. His voice was hoarse from shouting. After a while, there were finally footsteps.
"Oh, why is the bucket here! These two kids are so naughty!" A man in his forties said as he walked up to Wu Xunsheng. It was obvious that he had just run over while finishing his work.
Just as the man was about to take off the metal bucket covering Wu Xunsheng's head, he heard Tie Wandao's voice from behind: "What's your name? Why is he lying here?"
The man picked up the tin bucket, greeted Tie Wandao and said, "Chief, my name is Wei Nan, I work for Elder Tian, I just got here, I don't know how he got here, I came to take back the tin bucket. Just now, Tian Wen and Jian Rou grabbed the tin bucket with a rope and ran away. When I was about to chase them, others asked me to move things. After moving the things, I came out to look for the bucket. There is only one bucket, I can't do my work without it! These two naughty children!"
While Wei Nan was answering Tie Wandao's questions, Wang Qi, who came with Tie Wandao, walked up to Wu Xunsheng and untied the ropes that bound his hands and feet.
"Wu Xunsheng, where are the young clan leader and Guan Wenliang? Why are you here alone?" Tie Wandao asked.
"Chief, they went to the West Riding and Shooting Field first. The young chief and I wanted to go to the East Riding and Shooting Field to see if Master Fei was waiting for us. He didn't let the young chief go, so I went to see him. I can tell the chief then." Wu Xunsheng said.
Wu Xunsheng thanked Wang Qi for untying him and tried to get up, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't use any strength. Wang Qi rolled up Wu Xunsheng's sleeves and trouser legs and found that he was covered in bruises and had suffered many injuries. He said to Tie Wandao, "Chief, Wu Xunsheng has suffered a lot of injuries. I will carry him back and find a doctor to see him!"
