Pawn Crossing the River

The Jianghu is not a good place, and there are few good people in the Jianghu.

Qi Xuansu is naturally not a good person. He has always had a very simple concept. If you want to kill me, I will kill you. It is fair and reasonable.

So it is impossible for him to sit back and wait for death.

When the cavalry approached quickly, Qi Xuansu opened his hands: "Check it out."

Qi Xuansu's attitude made the black-clothed people relax their vigilance a little, because in their impression, most members of the secret society are desperate people who will only fight to the death and will not sit back and wait for death. In addition, the cavalry rushing to help are approaching, which also makes these black-clothed people feel that they have won and have firmly grasped the situation.

High realm, high cultivation, so what?

You can certainly kill all of us by yourself, but as long as you don't want to hide your head and show your tail for the rest of your life, then facing the black-clothed people, facing the Protectorate, and facing the court, you can only give up resistance.

Chen Meng slowly stepped forward and stood almost face to face with Qi Xuansu. Behind him were a group of men in black. Although no one was dead, they were lying on the ground.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Aren't you going to check?"

Chen Meng answered irrelevantly, "They are my comrades, but now they are lying on the ground. Some of them are disabled and can only leave the border army."

"They are your comrades, and they are also the ones who want my life. What will happen to me if those muskets hit me? I am not a god. I can't wave my sleeves and let you have no power to fight back without hurting you at all. Of course, if I were a god, I wouldn't stand here and talk nonsense with you." Qi Xuansu asked back, "Or is it that their lives are lives, and my life as a lone ranger is not a life?"

Chen Meng smiled, but didn't speak.

To him, Qi Xuansu was a stranger who was suspected of being a member of a secret society, but those people were his brothers and friends who lived with him day and night, so of course they could not be compared.

The same is true for Qi Xuansu. They are just a group of people who opened fire without saying a word after seeing him. He doesn't care what stories these people have, whether they have wives, children, parents, brothers and sisters, what does it have to do with me? Is this the reason why you want to kill me?

If Qi Xuansu is a real celestial being, it's not that he doesn't mind showing his kindness, because these people can't hurt him. But now it's not possible, because these people did hurt him, or even kill him.

I'm not a Xuansheng who helps the world, I'm just Qi Xuansu who only cares about himself.

If you want to kill me, I will kill you, it's that simple.

This matter has nothing to do with right or wrong. Chen Meng is right, Qi Xuansu is not wrong either. It's just about life and death.

At this time, the cavalry was less than a hundred feet away, because Qi Xuansu was obviously giving up resistance, and the cavalry began to slow down and no longer maintained the momentum of charging.

Chen Meng punched Qi Xuansu's lower abdomen fiercely: "This punch is for Wang Mu."

Qi Xuansu didn't move.

The cavalrymen approached slowly, and the sound of horse hooves became clearer, but no longer intense.

Chen Meng punched Qi Xuansu in the lower abdomen again: "This punch is for Sun Shuisheng."

Qi Xuansu still did not move, but narrowed his eyes.

The cavalrymen began to form a circle and stopped.

Chen Meng grabbed Qi Xuansu's shoulders with both hands and hit Qi Xuansu's lower abdomen with his knee: "This is for Xiao Gao."

Qi Xuansu observed the cavalrymen with the corner of his eyes, but still did not resist.

"This is for Lao Shitou."

"This is for No. 2 Middle School."

Chen Meng had no intention of stopping, and his fists and knees continued to fall on Qi Xuansu's body.

When Chen Meng stopped panting, Qi Xuansu reached out and pressed his lower abdomen. If he did not have the supernatural power derived from flesh and blood and a physique comparable to that of a warrior, he really could not hold on. Even so, he could clearly feel the pain coming.

Qi Xuansu took a breath and said slowly: "Can I leave now?"

Chen Meng narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Qi Xuansu smiled: "A man cannot stand without trust. How can you go back on your promise?"

Chen Meng reached out and held down his saber.

The cavalry stood solemnly, like a group of spectators.

Qi Xuansu said: "I respect the black armor you wear, and I understand your idea of ​​revenge for your brother, but for me, this is not a reason for you to kill me."

"It was you who took the initiative without knowing right or wrong, and you were so fierce that I had to fight back to protect myself. As a result, you were not as skilled as me and were crippled by me. In the end, it seemed that I was guilty of a heinous crime."

"The strong are right, the weak are right, but we who are caught in the middle are not right. Isn't this too unreasonable?"

Chen Meng drew his saber in silence: "The court and military orders are the greatest principles."

Qi Xuansu said: "I said that it is convenient for others and for yourself."

"I also said that there is no good end to fighting against the black-clothed people and the court." Chen Meng said coldly.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Indeed, there is no good end to going against the imperial court and the Taoist sect, but what does this have to do with you? If you die, what will happen to your wife and children? Even if I am torn into pieces, I will still have no food to eat. Don't you think about them?" Chen Meng's face suddenly changed, but it was too late. Qi Xuansu jumped up, and at such a close distance, Chen Meng could not dodge at all.

Qi Xuansu could be seen hugging Chen Meng tightly with all four limbs, like a python strangling its prey. Then Qi Xuansu suddenly exerted force, and there was a crackling sound of broken bones, which was horrifying. Chen Meng, who was only half a step away from the Kunlun stage, had no resistance at all. His limbs and chest were crushed, and his eyes were His eyes were wide open and his eyes were almost out of their sockets.

When the flying boat crashed that day, Qi Xuansu used this move to strangle the old Taoist.

The men in black around them never expected such a sudden change, and they all raised their firecrackers and aimed them at Qi Xuansu.

But Qi Xuansu had expected it, so he rolled over and used Chen Meng to block his body.

He gave Chen Meng a chance, but if Chen Meng didn't cherish it, he couldn't blame others.

All the projectiles of the man in black landed on Chen Meng's body. With this barrier, the projectiles were reduced to the strength of the crossbow and could not hurt Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu waited until the wave of fire gun attack was over, pushed away the corpse, picked up his "Dragon Hand Gun", jumped up, and went straight to the cavalry leader.

Just when Chen Meng was "making a move" on Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu had been observing the cavalry around him. One of the reasons why he put down his gun was that he did not want to face the charging cavalry directly, even if it was just light cavalry, not armored men. heavy cavalry.

However, without sufficient distance for an accelerated charge, the power of the cavalry is quite limited.

The leader of the cavalry was a commander. His pupils were constricted and he stared at the unknown figure. He refused to advance or retreat. Instead, he reined in the horse, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and drew his sword to meet him.

The men in black and the cavalry cooperated well, and the others also drew their swords and surrounded them.

This is an era when firearms are in the ascendant but cold weapons still rule the roost.

Although the influence of firearms was enough to influence the direction of the war, the cavalry never retreated, and the Daxuan court still attached great importance to horse politics.

Looking at the entire world, there are five major horse-producing areas. The first is the northwest horse-producing area, including parts of the Western Region, as well as Qinzhou, Liangzhou and other places. The second is the Saibei horse-producing area, which is the vast grassland under the control of the Golden Horde. All the royal courts of the past dynasties have set up horse markets here. The third is the southwest horse-producing area, mainly Shuzhou and Yunzhou. The fourth is the horse-producing area of ​​​​the Central Plains. Since ancient times, horse racing has been popular in the Central Plains, and horse breeding has been quite prosperous. Horse breeding became popular, but it declined for a while. Yanmenguan in Jinzhou was the entrance point for horses from Saibei, and the imperial court had a pastoral supervisor in Hedong Prefecture in Jinzhou. The fifth is the horse-producing area in Liaodong, which is mainly concentrated in Fengzhou and Liaozhou, with Fengzhou as the main area.

The Daxuan court established Yuanma Temple in these five places to take charge of raising horses. The duties of Yuanma Temple were the same as those of Taipu Temple, and they were subordinate to the third-grade Yamen. Each temple is divided into one minister and one minor minister. There is no fixed number of ministers. Each temple has six prisons and twenty-four gardens. The gardens are divided into three grades. There are about 10,000 horses in the upper garden, 7,000 in the middle garden, and 4,000 in the lower garden. Yuanma Temple supervises the raising of horses in various gardens and obeys the orders of the Ministry of War.

The mounts of these Xizhou frontier troops come from Shangyuan of the Northwest Yuanma Temple. They are tall and tall. Even if they are not wearing armor, the horses themselves weigh up to two thousand kilograms. If they are heavy cavalry with both men and horses wearing armor, it will be nearly three thousand kilograms. the weight of. Such heavy cavalry formed a formation, and tens of thousands of cavalry charged together. It was really a torrent of iron armor, irresistible.

But the next scene made everyone's eyes widen.

Qi Xuansu collided directly with the handler. Instead of imagining the scene of Qi Xuansu being trampled under the horse's hooves, Qi Xuansu stood still, holding the horse with his shoulder, and then saw Qi Xuansu grabbing the tall horse. The whole body exerted force together, the veins in both arms popped out, the waist and back twisted, and the true energy flow in the body reached the extreme, and even the man and the horse were directly overturned to the ground.

This is the warrior in the Five Immortals inheritance. He gave up his true energy and thoughts, and united his soul and body in exchange for unparalleled physical strength. Although Qi Xuansu is not a pure martial artist, but with the help of Sanren's true energy, he is not much inferior.

The general was pinned under the horse and unable to get up. Qi Xuansu stepped forward before other cavalry arrived and grabbed his throat with one hand.
