On the battlefield of the Fancheng Military Camp, Liu Jing rode his horse and rushed. Every time he ran for dozens of steps, an arrow shot out, and a straw man stood sixty steps away.

Liu Jing had been practicing for nearly an hour and shot more than 60 arrows. His arms were so tired that he could hardly pull the bow.

But the effect was not good. Only ten arrows shot into the grass man with more than 60 arrows, and all the rest were shot away. This result made Liu Jing a little depressed.

At this time, a soldier who took the arrow for him advised: "Mr. Jun. You are a little anxious. Just shoot steadily before you can hit it."

Liu Jing sighed. He also understood that he was shooting urgently, but Huang Zhong ordered him to shoot two arrows a day. According to the current situation, it would take at least four hours to shoot. He simply doubted whether he could complete this indicator.

If it is a step bow, one arrow after another may be completed, but riding a bow is different. It takes physical strength and energy only to balance the body. It is very difficult to shoot each arrow.

To complete the mission of the two arrows, you must work harder. Liu Jing was deeply touched at this time. Huang Zhong seemed gentle, but in fact he was extremely strict.

However, what made Liu Jing feel relieved was that his horse control skills improved rapidly, which was also his weakness. Now that he only shot more than 60 arrows, his balance ability will increase greatly. If he continues to practice like this, he will become a horse control expert in a month.

After gaining and improving practice, this will inspire people's fighting spirit. Liu Jing took a short rest and ordered the soldiers: "Give me two more pots of arrows."

On the school ground, Liu Jing started a new round of archery again. At noon, Liu Jing felt that his arm was completely numb, and even the soreness disappeared without any sense.

He had shot an arrow, and he was still halfway to complete today's mission.

Liu Jing turned over and got off the horse and walked towards his official ward. At this moment, a soldier rushed to report, "Qi reported to the Marquis of Military Affairs, a woman from outside the camp, surnamed Tao, said she had an urgent matter to ask for a meeting."

.........

The girl surnamed Tao can only be Tao Zhan. I wonder if she had something urgent to do, Liu Jing couldn't think too much and walked out of the military camp quickly.

When she walked out of the military camp, she saw a young girl flashing from behind a big tree more than ten steps away. It was Tao Zhan. She ran towards her face with panic on her face.

"Master" she shouted in a low voice, her voice very nervous.

Liu Jing didn't see her carriage, and he felt a little strange. He felt Tao Zhan's panic again and asked quickly: "What happened?"

"People, help me, something happened to Dow Business...."

Liu Jing was stunned and turned around and looked at the street. From here, he could vaguely see the Tao Trading Company. He saw that there seemed to be a large group of soldiers there.

He nodded, "Go home with me first, let's talk about it when we go back."

Tao Zhan followed Liu Jing closely like a frightened deer. The soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed into the Tao business, which made her still scared. Every soldier running past her made her feel nervous, as if they were coming to catch her. She couldn't help but hold Liu Jing's strong arm.

Only in this way can she get a little sense of security.

Soon, they returned to Liu Jing's courtyard. With the sound of closing the door, Tao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Jing patted her hand and comforted her with a smile.

Tao Zhan then realized that he was still holding Liu Jing's arm, which scared her to thrust her hands, her pretty face suddenly turned slightly red, and she whispered: "Thank you, Mr.

"Go to my study to talk"

Liu Jing felt that Tao Zhan was still scared, and his body was still shaking slightly. He quickly ordered Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, pour a glass of wine."

In the study, Tao Zhan sat down, held the ear cup in his hand and took a sip of wine slowly, and his heart gradually calmed down.

"Thank you, I'm much better."

Tao Zhan was grateful. If Liu Jing hadn't helped her, she would have really no idea where she should go. She remembered that her second uncle was tied up and was caught by Wuhua. Her eyes turned red and tears couldn't help falling.

"Tell me, what happened?" Liu Jing asked in a deep voice as he looked at her.

Tao Zhan restrained his emotions and said red nose: "I don't know what happened. Just now, a large group of soldiers rushed into the commercial bank and said we were banned from smuggling transportation, so he captured my second uncle and all the managers. I... happened to go buy makeup and come back. I saw them arresting people across the street..."

Tao Zhan's voice trembled, and finally couldn't help crying in a low voice. Liu Jing pondered for a moment and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, after all, the Tao family is a distinguished guest of the provincial governor. The army is afraid of throwing rats and not daring to do anything to him."

Tao Zhan wiped away tears with a hand towel and looked at Liu Jing with red eyes, "Can you help me?"

Liu Jing nodded silently, he stood up and ordered Xiaobao, "Take good care of Miss Tao."

Xiaobao nodded quickly, "Don't worry"

Liu Jing looked at Tao Zhan again, turned around and strode away. Tao Zhan looked at his back and walked away, with only an indescribable gratitude in his heart.

...........

Liu Jing walked to the city gate, and Zhuang Zhong, on duty, hurriedly greeted him, bowed and bowed, "please give orders from the military marquis."

"What's going on today? So many soldiers came into the city to arrest people"

Zhuang Zhong curled his lips contemptuously, "It's all the navy. I heard that it seems that the Tao family is trafficking some prohibited items, and I don't know the specific position."

"Water Army"

Liu Jing was sensitive in his heart, and he immediately thought of Zhang Yun. Could this matter be related to Zhang Yun again

He pondered for a moment and had to figure out the situation first. He thought of Li Jun, but he didn't know if he had any news.

Liu Jing returned to the military camp to get the war horse, turned over and ran towards Youjiao. As soon as he left the city gate, he saw Li Jun riding a horse, and Liu Jing hurriedly grabbed the reins.

"Master, I'm going to find you," Li Jun said anxiously.

Liu Jing pointed to the woods in the distance and said, "Go over there and talk."

The two of them came to the secluded place in the woods, and Li Jun whispered: "Master, it's a bit big."

"Don't be anxious, just talk slowly."

"It was probably midnight last night that Jiang Cao, the governor of Jiang who never left the river, brought a group of brothers out of the river, and captured the Tao family fleet, and two military crossbows and a thousand battle knives from the fleet. At this time, Zhang Yun led the navy patrol and arrived in time and detained all the people and ships."

"What a coincidence"

Liu Jing sneered and asked again: "Are these fifty ships the missing fleet of the Tao family?"

"I don't know this, anyway, people and boats are in the water village."

Liu Jing pondered for a while and asked again: "What is the crime of smuggling two military crossbows and a thousand war knives?"

Li Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "According to the laws and regulations of Jingzhou, those who sell five military crossbows are exiled for thousands of miles, those who sell ten military crossbows should be killed, and those who have above military crossbows should be sentenced to death."

Liu Jing's heart sank. This was obviously Zhang Yun was going to attack the Tao family. The situation was urgent and he had to rescue him immediately.

“Thank you”

Liu Jing turned his head and was about to leave, and Li Jun called Liu Jing again, "Mr. Jing, I have friends in the navy prison. Maybe I can convey some news to the Duke."

"Then I'll have a blessing from Brother Li, thank you for your thanks"

Liu Jing bowed his hand with his fists and urged the horse to run towards the dock. Li Jun looked at Liu Jing away and couldn't help but sigh. In fact, he liked Liu Jing very much and really didn't want to be his subordinate.

.............

Tao Li, the second in charge of the Dow Business Company, and more than a dozen managers were tied up and arrested into the Navy Village, ten miles east of Xiangyang City.

More than a dozen people were taken directly to the military prison, while Tao Li was taken to Zhang Yun's tent. Tao Li was the younger brother of the head of the family Tao Sheng and an important figure in the Tao family. He was about fifty years old, had a medium figure, big ears, fair skin, and a good appearance.

This time he brought his niece Tao Zhan to Xiangyang to investigate the disappearance of fifty merchant ships. Unexpectedly, he had just arrived one day, and before he could find out anything, the Tao family committed the crime and the army directly arrested him.

"You bastards, untie my rope."

Taoli shouted and a soldier kicked him and pushed him fiercely into the tent.

Zhang Yun sat in the big tent, with a smile on his face and an indescribable pride in his eyes, "Does the second boss still know me?"

"It's you"

Tao Li knew Zhang Yun, and two years ago he and the head of the family came to visit the navy captain.

"It turned out to be Captain Zhang, could it be that you arrested me?"

Zhang Yun waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat. Then he smiled faintly: "The second master doesn't know why he was arrested yet. Let me tell you, we got two military crossbows and a thousand war knives from the Tao family's merchant ship. Do you know what the crime is?"

Tao Li was furious and roared: "You are slandering people. My Tao family has been in business for fifty years. When did you sell weapons?"

"That's just that the Tao family was not caught."

Zhang Yun smiled coldly and took a stack of confessions from the table, "This is the confession of the client on the ship, including Zhang Xian, the manager of the Tao family. He has admitted that it was the Tao family who arranged for trafficking. There are all human and physical evidence, so you have no choice but to refuse to admit it."

"Zhang Xian"

Tao Li was stunned. Didn’t Zhang Xian disappear for half a month? He thought about it and immediately understood something. Looking at Zhang Yun with a proud look, Tao Li sneered, "If I guess correctly, this is what you have set up."

Zhang Yun laughed and praised with a thumbs up: "It's worthy of being an old man. It's really agile. It's a bureau I set up. I robbed the 50 cargo ships of the Tao family, and I put the crossbows in the bottom cabin. But... your people have already pleaded guilty, and soon your managers will plead guilty, including you, and you will press your handprints under the stick. It can be said that people and physical evidence are all complete. Can your Tao family escape this disaster?"

A sentence burst out from Taoli's lips for a while, "I'm despicable and shameless, hum, what do you want?"

Zhang Yun approached his face and squinted his eyes and said, "Will such a smart second boss ask such a stupid question?"

"You want money" Taoli understood what he meant.

“Yes”

Zhang Yun nodded and said slowly: "If you don't say secret words, I want 20,000 taels of gold. I will pay 10,000 taels first, and pay the other 10,000 taels within one year. This is my condition."

Taoli spat hard, "Dream it."

Zhang Yun approached his ear and chuckled in a low voice: "I am catching your niece now. Do you know what would happen if she was in prison and fell into the hands of those wolf-like prisoners? I think you agreed soon at that time."

Zhang Yun snorted in a dark voice, waved his hand, "Present in prison, let him confess."

Several soldiers rushed into the tent and pushed Taoli out fiercely. Zhang Yun pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered something and called out "People coming"
