the enlightener says

"Mo Zhe?" Qin Ke saw Bai Qi wearing plain black clothes and holding a long sword through the crack of the window, even though his face became a little distorted because of seeing the tragic death of Robe Ze, even though his temples were full of sky. The raised dust made him look a bit chaotic, but his brows showed unyielding and uprightness.

Master once told him about this very special group, and he probably listened to it with curiosity and a little ignorant reverence.

When the first generation of Mohist giants founded the Mohist School, they put forward the most important two points: universal love, non-attack, virtuous, advocating the same, frugal use, festival burial, non-joy, non-fate, heavenly will, and ghosts. , that is, both love and non-aggression.

Universal love means that people love each other and treat each other equally.

Rather than attacking, it is opposing countries to conquer each other and invade other countries' land.

It's just that compared to the Confucian disciples who sit and talk, these Mohists learn from the Mohist giants, but they practice these "naive" principles with practical actions.

Most of them are knights in the market, with martial arts skills, they can draw their swords to help when encountering injustice, but they also become sergeants who form troops or go to battle to kill the enemy in times of war.

When the world is peaceful, these people study the knowledge of institutions, divert water to irrigate farmland, and induce wind to drive stone mills. They are unknown and admirable.

It is also such a group of people who protected the peace of a large area of ​​land in the northwest from Jicheng to the central part when the previous dynasty was overthrown and the world was in chaos. Later, in order to reorganize the government, they reopened the capital and established the ancestral temple. The largest country in the world, Mohism.

"It's a group of respectable but sad people."

The master finally came to a conclusion, with a look of regret on his face, "It's hard to sustain for a long time. After that, the Mohist school gradually declined. Above the Mohist court, Confucianism and Legalism fought against each other and gradually became the mainstream Well, after the new Mohist tycoon took office, he had already forgotten about Jian Ai Fei Gong, instead he raised the banner of 'helping the world' and sent troops to annex all the vassal states."

The famines and wars that Qin Ke encountered in his youth were inseparable from these. Thinking back to the time when he starved for thousands of miles, he still had a fresh memory, so when the master said this, he naturally felt a little more heavy in his heart.

Only those who have seen hell will know the horror of hell. He hates things like war from the bottom of his heart, so until now, he has never felt that he is a Mohist citizen—it’s just that the world is so big, but he has nowhere to go. Just go.

Maybe when he finds his master, he can take his master to live in Jingwu?It's just that he was a little reluctant to part with the uncles and aunts in Daoxiang Village, but Master would be very happy to be reunited with his elder brother Zhuge Wanling, right?

Outside the door, Mr. Yuan laughed and said, "It's Bai Qi? That's right. As a member of the Mohist family, you burned, killed and looted in the territory of our Tang Dynasty, causing the death of the master of the Tu family in Ru County. Isn't this your fault?" for?"

Bai Qi snorted coldly, but he was constantly calculating how many steps it took to get to the forest when he went out.

"Burning, killing, looting? A joke! The Mohists traveled the world and followed the righteous way of weeding out the strong and supporting the weak. How did they ever commit looting? The young master of the Tu family robbed the women of the people and forced them to death three times, causing harm to the village. The masters of the Tu family relied on lending money to defraud the people of their land, causing the hard-working farmers to lose their crops, so they could only throw themselves into the river... But the government ignored it! If this is the case, I, a member of the Mohist family, should stand up. As for We didn’t take a single cent of the belongings of Mr. Tu’s family, but distributed them to the people in the village, so why looting?”

Mr. Yuan shook his head and said with a sneer: "I'm afraid it's not necessarily true? This is within the territory of our Tang Dynasty, so why do you Mohists come forward? I'm afraid you have other plans. I'm afraid you are worried that my Tang army will invade your Mohist territory. Want to come to my Tang country to cause trouble?"

He suddenly raised his voice: "You still say that you are not a Mohist spy?"

"You fart!" Bai Qi's forehead was bulging with veins, and his hand holding the long sword became more and more forceful, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it? As a Mohist, he will only fight head-on on the battlefield in the future, and will never Do something like that!"

Chapter 337 Killing

Mr. Yuan gave an evil smile. Of course he knew that Bai Qi was not that kind of person. The group of Mohists had long since lost its heyday in terms of prestige and numbers, but even the few remaining few still adhered to the old traditions. of those creeds.

It's just...he's not here to try the case.

Bai Qi inside the wall seemed to be waiting for something, and he was also waiting.

Suddenly, there was a scream of pain from the back of the inn, accompanied by the sound of tables and chairs being overturned, and after a young man yelled "Senior Brother", everything stopped abruptly!

Bai Qi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hissed loudly: "Cheng Mo!"

He finally understood why these people outside hadn't attacked for a long time.

It wasn't that they were afraid of themselves, but they had already arranged manpower to block the back door, just waiting for his juniors to throw themselves into the trap.

"You bastard!" Bai Qi only felt a twitch in his heart that made him almost unable to stand upright. "Do you think you can escape the revenge of Mo Zhe in the future by doing this?"

Mr. Yuan looked at the empty door with great interest, shook his head and said, "Revenge? Hiss... Isn't Mo Zhe flaunting both love and non-attack? Why, the enemy can't love it?"

Bai Qi gritted his teeth and said: "Today you turned black and white and killed my three juniors on unwarranted charges. In the future, Mo Zhe will kill you, not out of enmity, but only for justice."

"Fairness? What a fairness." Mr. Yuan's face became solemn, "Then if you die here, who will know what happened here? How many Mohists are still walking in the Tang Kingdom now? Even if they come to your door , How long can you last under the hooves of my cavalry? What's more, this is the Tang Dynasty, not the Mohist family. You gathered people to assassinate the court officials, and you said you were not Mohist spies?"

"Under the eyes of everyone, you can't let you cover the sky with one hand! Even if I die today, once the news spreads... Hehe, you always have to eat, you always have to go to the toilet, you still have to go to brothels and dance halls... You should know, Once Mo Zhe issued the killing order, even princes, dukes and ministers would not be able to escape the word 'death', but you are just the son of a small prefect, do you think you can escape?"

Mo Zhe lore order.

When the Son of Heaven lost his throne and the previous dynasty collapsed, the Mohist school had not yet established a country, and the Mohist tycoon issued thirteen killing orders in a row under the name of "Zhu Wudao". Among these thirteen goals, the one with the lowest status He was also a general in the vassal states, and the tallest one was actually the lord of one party.

It was only over a month since the killing order was issued, and all the 13 people died unexpectedly. As a result, the reputation of the Mohists was greatly enhanced, and it attracted countless people to submit to them, and finally became the great cause of the Mohism today.

Even in the current Jishang Academy, there are still students from various schools talking about this matter. In the eyes of Legalists, such unreasonable killing is obviously too much, but it is also considered extrajudicial.Although Confucianism felt that this move was "harmful to benevolence and righteousness", they never denied the profound significance of the thirteen killing orders to Mohism when it was first established.

Now that Bai Qi mentioned it again, it sounded like the words of grief and indignation before his death, but it also caused a slight change in the expressions of many cavalrymen behind Mr. Yuan. There are still a lot of people traveling in various countries, if it is true as he said, there will be a mohist killing order... such a price, even the prefect can hardly bear it..."

Mr. Yuan's expression was not natural, but he couldn't see much fear, he chuckled lightly and said, "Stupid! Now that we have killed the three of them, wouldn't it be possible that if we let go of Bai Qi, we wouldn't be issued a killing order? "

The deputy general thought for a while, and suddenly said: "But under the watchful eyes of everyone, you can't kill everyone present, can you?"

However, at this moment, he saw a stern smile on his young master's face, and his heart tightened suddenly: "Young master... are you serious?"

Mr. Yuan glanced at the inn, and said with a smile: "Since it's all in full view, I can only blame these people for seeing something they shouldn't see, so it's okay to kill them all..."

"But this..." The lieutenant general knew that this son had always acted unreasonably, but he never thought that he would kill all the witnesses in order to get a share of the credit for killing Mo Zhe.

"The smugglers here are all tacitly approved by the prefect. Even this inn, if it wasn't for the prefect's consent, I'm afraid it wouldn't have survived to this day. I'm afraid the prefect will dislike you if you do this..."

Mr. Yuan was slightly annoyed when he heard his family's rebuttal, but his face remained calm. He shouted: "General Ye, keep your mouth shut, Lord Prefect, but your boss is me now, not my father! I am both After taking over the position of captain, he naturally has the power to make decisions."

He glanced over indifferently, and said, "You are just a lieutenant general, just follow orders, where do you get so many women's benevolence?"

"Yes." The deputy general cupped his hands and said, "Understood."

Hearing that the deputy general obeyed, Mr. Yuan felt proud, but he also knew that it was important for him to establish prestige as a new official, and he could not chill the hearts of his subordinates, so he smiled consolingly and said, "Forget it, it's okay to tell you, in fact, my Tang country We have already reached an alliance with Canghai, and soon we will send allied forces to attack the Mohists, and at that time, the 20 generals of our Tang State will go out in several groups, and one of them will pass through this county..."

It turned out that in order to supervise the food and march, the court would send Jiedu envoys to follow them all the way, and once the Jiedu envoys set foot in their county, they would naturally inspect all aspects of the county. If one is not careful, this smuggling route will be blocked. To make your lord know, Yuan Gongzi's father must not be able to eat and walk around.

So this way can no longer be maintained now.

Only then did the deputy general suddenly realize, and immediately looked at Young Master Yuan with admiring eyes, and said, "So that's it, Young Master, you want to abandon the car to protect the handsome man?"

"Exactly. Otherwise, the father and son of the Tu family who are not as good as dogs, how can I kill for him personally?" Mr. Yuan said coldly: "It just so happened that a Mohist killed a squire in this county, and gave me such a chance. At that time, I said that this is where the Mohist spies gathered, and then I led people to destroy the inn. Anyway, these smugglers travel between the Tang Dynasty and the Mohism every year. I said they were all spies, and who would defend them?"

Mr. Yuan sneered, a little disdainful: "The common people are a bunch of weak bones. As long as they don't kill them, even if their relatives die, they can only swallow their anger."

Bai Qi leaned against the wall, couldn't hear the movement outside the door for a while, and felt a little suspicious, but he didn't dare to face the crossbow arrows and charge straight out of the gate. With his cultivation, it was really a bit difficult to survive under such a dense crowd of crossbow arrows. adventure.

It's just that the front and back doors are surrounded by cavalry, so what are these people waiting for?Could it be that he was frightened by the "lore order" he said?

However, under the twilight, the surroundings of the inn gradually lit up with bits and pieces of fire.

Bai Qi was slightly taken aback, feeling that there seemed to be dozens of ominous shooting stars in the sky, and the swishing sound pierced his eardrums, and when these flaming arrows fell into the inn, they quickly ignited such as Inflammable places such as straw, firewood, doors and windows, even an arrow was shot between the stacked wine jars. After the sound of shattering, the originally strong wine suddenly spread a flame on the ground.

The merchants hid in the inn and howled bitterly. Several of them made up their minds and headed for the door, but were hit in the chest by several arrows. Their bodies fell on the threshold, and their clothes also burned.

Outside the courtyard, more than a dozen archers with bows on their backs got off their horses and were re-stringing the lit arrows. Then, rays of light rose into the air and fell into the courtyard wall.

At this time, the proprietress who had been in a daze suddenly picked up a piece of rough wood from the ground, rushed towards Mr. Yuan's horse like crazy, and shouted hoarsely: "Yuan Beiwang! I will fight you!"

But she was just a woman after all, and an ordinary person after all, with her three-legged feat, she couldn't even bear a slap from an ordinary sergeant.

A slap like a steel whip was slammed on her face, and she fell to one side and fell several steps away. Then the sergeant gave a grinning grin, held his saber, and stabbed the proprietress in the chest. Blood spattered out, splashing Chu Gou's body and face beside him.

Chu Gou was dizzy from the sudden change. Looking at the shining saber, he fled back and forth, shouting, "Don't kill me...don't kill me..."

Before he finished speaking, his crotch became hot, and he was so frightened that he lost control of himself.

Chapter 338 The Thief and the King

Holding the knife, the sergeant approached step by step, but suddenly smelled a smell of urine, wrinkled his nose, and cursed: "Grandma, bad luck."

He turned his head to look at Mr. Yuan, grinned and said, "Look, Mr. This kid peed out of fear."

Of course Mr. Yuan saw it clearly, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Interesting, save his life first, and talk about it later."

The sergeant nodded, stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him to the rear of the army formation like a chicken.

Bai Qi behind the courtyard wall saw the flames rising in the inn, and finally understood Mr. Yuan's plan, gritted his teeth and cursed: "This beast!"

As a Mohist, what he does is to eradicate the strong and help the weak. Now that he sees the lives of people in the inn at stake, how can he continue to retreat?

He gritted his teeth, clenched the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, and planned to rush out, anyway, the juniors had already left first, so even if he died, he had to die a little more heroically.

But suddenly there was a warm and strong hand on his shoulder.

How could someone approach her behind silently?All of a sudden, the hairs on his body stood on end, and the long sword in his hand subconsciously slashed out.

But before he could draw his sword, a sheathed sword on the side pressed his arm, preventing him from moving forward.The scabbard is simple in style, with a few shallow cut marks on it, and a few lines of Sanskrit are engraved under the scabbard.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva?" Bai Qi had seen this kind of writing before, but he didn't know much about it. He raised his head, and a fair young man nodded at him.

Qin Ke slowly let go of the scabbard in his hand, looked at the burning flames, heard the screams in the inn, knew that time was running out, and said: "If I help you block the crossbow arrows, Are you sure you can catch that leader, Young Master Yuan?"

Bai Qi's eyes looked Qin Ke up and down, and found that this was the boy who lived next door to him, and he was wearing a demon bear's skin when he came.

At that time, he had sighed to his juniors that this person was definitely not weak in cultivation, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he said: "Of course! This Yuan Beiwang can become the captain only because of his father's power. Because, he has just entered the first level of realm, and my cultivation base has not yet entered the third realm, but Mo Zhe has been trained all the year round, and it is not difficult to catch such a dude."

"Then give it a try." Qin Ke took a look inside the inn. After hearing what he said, Lao Pang ran to the rooftop on the second floor and honestly hid in a large water tank. If the matter is resolved, the trip to Jinzhou may also be delayed.

"I'm in front, you take advantage of the situation and rush out." Qin Ke took off the coat given to him by the innkeeper, took a deep breath, and almost instantly rushed out the door decisively!

"Let go!" The cavalry who had been waiting outside the door for a long time held crossbows, and at this moment gave Qin Ke the expected volley.

However, in the eyes of those cavalry holding crossbows, what rushed out was not white Qi, but a large mass of turning gray!

The coat that Qin Ke swung and twirled was only made of the most common linen, but compared with the light silk, this kind of clothes was heavy and wear-resistant enough. When he waved his hands vigorously together, the linen coat seemed to come alive immediately Coming over, like a roc flying high, it covered Qin Ke's figure for a while, and also covered Bai Qi behind Qin Ke.

The crossbow arrows hadn't arrived yet, but Qin Ke had already judged their direction in his ears, and at the moment when these crossbow arrows actually hit the coat, he flipped his hands over, blood poured into his arms suddenly, and rolled up the whole coat , "Moc bird" retracted its wings, and turned into an open pocket, swallowing all these crossbow bolts in one go.

With the sound of "stabbing" coming from the coat, Qin Ke looked down slightly, only a few crossbow arrows pierced the coat, and he secretly thought of luck.

Tang Guo's hand crossbow was indeed not as sharp as the Mohist black cavalry's continuous crossbow, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to intercept the next wave of arrows with a linen coat.

At this time, Bai Qi was already ready to go. Seeing Qin Ke intercepting this wave of crossbow arrows, although he was a little shocked, he also knew that now was the best time for him to make a move.

In just one breath, the energy and blood in his whole body surged, pouring into his limbs, and his whole body rose into the air like a gust of wind.

Qin Ke leaned down, and Bai Qi stepped on the air with his shoulder, and slashed at Mr. Yuan with his sword!

"Young Master, be careful!" In the blink of an eye, it was the lieutenant next to Young Master Yuan who was the first to react. He was a member of the army, after all, he had more experience than these disciples of Gaoliang who had gold spoons in their mouths.

The saber and the long sword exchanged in the air, and the light of the saber under the collision almost pierced Mr. Yuan's eyes. At this moment, Bai Qi found that the lieutenant in front of him had his legs clamped between the horse's belly, and he also jumped up in the air, and then the The man hit his knee and hit him in the chest!

A black shadow flashed, and Bai Qi flew upside down. Indeed, Mr. Yuan looked like a chicken waiting to be captured in front of him, but what he didn't expect was that the deputy general beside him would react so quickly.

Is this the end...

He turned his head sadly, wanting to take a look at the current situation of the young man who was cooperating with him, but in front of him was a flower, a figure within a few steps, had surpassed him who flew back upside down, and then The figure drew out the sharp sword, and in the twilight, a dazzling silver radiance flashed from the blade of the sword, carrying a bit of ancient spirit, and also a bit of decisive killing intent.

After the Bodhisattva came out of the scabbard, Qin Ke clenched the hilt of his sword, feeling full of strength again.

After fleeing in the mountains for ten consecutive days, it wasn't that he didn't fight Lu Ming and others face to face every time, but every time he escaped from the siege of the three of them, and kept rolling in the gravel called "life and death" , worn away a lot of immature energy in him, and the running in the mountains for several days and nights also strengthened the surge of energy and blood in his body.

Today, he can be regarded as a seasoned swordsman, a hunter who is decisive and never drags his feet.

The lieutenant general of the cavalry landed on the ground with both feet, and before he had time to recollect the wonderful knee bump just now, he could only feel the buzzing sound of piercing the air in his ears, his eyes widened, and he wanted to raise his hands subconsciously. I resisted with my saber, but found that my arm trembled because of a sharp pain...

The Bodhisattva easily pierced through his leather armor, and with a clear sword roar, Qin Ke pulled out the sword, which was as stable as Mount Tai, and swung it to the side habitually, the dark red blood splashed neatly on the ground in an arc.

This blow was too fast, so fast that the sword was drawn, and it seemed to be in the blink of an eye.

"You..." The lieutenant general's pupils had already begun to slacken, and he trembled his lips, wanting to say something, but Qin Ke's movement of drawing his sword just now took away all the strength in him.

Qin Ke stood sideways, but frowned slightly.

So, die?

He was a little surprised, but he took it for granted, and didn't know where to think for a while.

Now, he is already a cultivator of the third level, and his cultivation is getting more and more stable. Thinking about it, he is not far away from the little master level that he couldn't even imagine before. In fact, he didn't try his best with this sword, but He seems to be used to it. Every sword he stabs will subconsciously use some of the Qijin Sword's sword intent.

"I didn't intend to kill you." Qin Ke lightly patted the lieutenant on the shoulder, watched his body fall down like limp mud, and murmured in a low voice.

Chapter 339 Not My Court

Since leaving Jingwu, he has encountered many things, one after another, like waves layer upon layer, and after all, he has finally untied some shackles that he thought he could not break through in his life.

Today, he has taken a lot of light on the matter of killing people.

"General Ye is dead!"

The cavalry ranks were in chaos. They knew the strength of the lieutenant general, even among the defenders of a county, he could be regarded as a man of prestige. However, such a man died between meeting this young man. .

A "Plop" came from Qin Ke's body. It was Mr. Yuan, who was still calm and composed just now, who fell off the horse's back. Climb into the team of cavalry behind him.

At this time, he has long forgotten his identity as a practitioner, and even more so, his dignity as a captain. However, Qin Ke stabbed to death with a sword like General Ye. How long can it last?

In one breath?Between two breaths?

He is the son of the prefect, as long as he is alive, there will be glory and wealth for him to enjoy.As if thinking of this, his strong desire to survive made him crawl faster. He faced the yellow land and shouted loudly: "What are you all looking at! Kill him! Kill him!"

"Idiot bag." Qin Ke cursed in a low voice, and strode forward, wanting to grab Mr. Yuan's shoulder, but there were a few swishing sounds in the air, and several crossbow bolts struck from the cavalry like lightning, and charged straight at him. his chest.
