After chasing for five or six miles, I finally saw a soldier running for his life about two miles away on the route ahead. I chased for another four or five miles and was already less than a hundred feet away from the soldier. The width in front of him was about two miles.
On the grassland, there were six or seven horses scattered and galloping eastward. Some were riding alone, and two people actually didn't forget to bring an extra horse, so they were riding alone and in pairs.
The soldier directly in front of He Qizhou must have noticed that someone was chasing him from behind, and whipped up his horse whip crazily. But when he looked back, he saw that the pursuer was still approaching quickly. He was so frightened that he wanted to turn sharply towards his companion on the right.
As he got closer, the horse was pulled around while running wildly, staggering uncontrollably and almost knocking the soldier off his horse.
He Qizhou took this opportunity to quickly approach and swung his sword into the opponent's neck. When the soldier heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from behind, he actually raised his saber in advance to protect his neck from his side.
He Qizhou's internal strength had not yet been restored. When he struck out with his sword, the opponent was not hurt at all, but he completed the turn and fled to the right.
He Qizhou was not willing to let go of the soldier who was close at hand, and chased after him. Unexpectedly, the soldier's sword skills on horseback were better than those in foot combat. Facing a layman like He Qizhou, he parried for four or five rounds before being penetrated by the sword.
He died by the throat. At this moment, he saw Xu Mu riding his horse past half a mile to the left. He couldn't help but blush, and he was so excited to kill that he forgot the most important thing.
When heading east again, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the deserters who were not on the marching route. The blue and white Tianju seemed to enjoy the fun of horse racing, and did not need He Qizhou to push it, spreading its hooves, passing the horses one after another on both sides.
Army horse, He Qizhou saw Xu Mu neatly kill a soldier and fell behind him again, so he no longer cared about the situation behind him and used the moonlight to look for the officer's whereabouts.
There was a short white feather next to the yellow feathers on the officer's helmet, so he was easy to recognize. He chased for about four or five miles. He Qizhou felt that the green horse was no longer able to hold on, and was about to give up and turn around to intercept a few more.
When I was fishing, I suddenly noticed two horses running quickly up a hill about a mile to the left. The man on the horse had skillfully jumped from one horse to the other. There were two feathers on the man's head!
It turned out that he had caught up, but the hill blocked his view! Without thinking, He Qizhou quickly moved to the west. Because he was wearing Keji costumes, the officer also spotted He Qizhou at a glance. The officer who originally thought he had escaped was frightened again.
Get up and hurry your horse forward.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The Qi people wearing Keji clothes were chasing him at a very fast speed, and this place was at least a hundred miles away from the Yulin Army camp. Unexpectedly, the two best army horses took turns to run wildly.
After nearly twenty miles, I was still caught up.
The thirty-year-old officer habitually touched the jade pendant with the word "Helian" engraved on his waist. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have been promoted to Deputy Qianhu after returning from this trip, but now he may even lose his life.
Can't keep it!
Those useless Yulin Guards were only focused on escaping for their own lives along the way, and they didn't even block it for themselves. If they could survive, they would definitely be made worse than death, as well as the group of barbarians from the Keji Tribe...the sound of horse hooves behind them was no more than two seconds.
Ten feet long, the officer was thinking wildly as he approached another horse with a bow and arrow from the Yulin Army hanging on it. They were both the best two-stone bows in the Qi Army!
He Qizhou was twenty feet away and saw the opponent carrying the quiver behind him from another horse, then taking off a long bow that was very similar to his own, then skillfully opening the bow and nodding an arrow, turning sideways in the direction he was running.
Shoot an arrow.
He Qizhou dodged and shot the second arrow towards Qing Ma's chest. Qing Ma seemed to be spiritual and deflected a little. He Qizhou leaned forward and used his sword to deflect the arrow that was aimed at Qing Ma. Then he turned around and sat upright.
, only to see that the third arrow had already flown towards his face. The officer's shooting skills were only as good as those of Urna's brother and sister! Even while running at high speed, he could still predict the direction without losing his accuracy.
He Qizhou, who had already caught up less than ten feet away, didn't want to miss the opportunity. Without thinking, he raised his left arm to block in front of him. The unicorn armor had given him enough confidence. As expected, the arrowheads made of fine steel could not penetrate the armor at all.
The protection of the arm fell to the ground with a "ding" sound.
After shooting three arrows in a row, not only could he not delay the opponent, but he was also quickly pulled within five feet. The officer had no choice but to throw away his longbow, draw his saber, and turn his horse to one side, preparing to turn its head and meet the enemy on horseback.
He Qizhou knew that he might not be able to get a bargain right away, and he was reluctant to let the green horse get injured in the horse fight, so he urged the green horse to get close to the officer who turned the horse's head. When the opponent's speed slowed down, he stood on the horse's back, jumped with his sword, and flew towards the opponent.
He pounced on him, imitating Xu Mu's wavering gesture, and swept out his sword horizontally, as if he was going to knock him off his horse even if both of them were injured.
The officer did not expect that the opponent would still fight against him even though he had the upper hand. Moreover, the sword move he made was exactly the same as his companion's terrifying sword move. He had already been slightly injured, so how could he dare to attack him forcefully? He quickly turned over.
He dismounted and ran towards the other horse following him.
How could He Qizhou allow him to escape again? After he landed, he pierced the opponent's back with his long sword. The officer knew that he could not escape the pursuit. His escape was a lie, but his deliberate show of weakness was real. He wanted to take advantage of Qi Zhou's unsteady footing to launch a surprise attack, so he dodged behind him.
After striking the sword, he actually raised his saber and turned around with a top-down side slash. There was nothing flashy about the move, but it was the result of the officer accumulating all his strength.
He had already calculated that in order to chase him with all his strength, He Qizhou would find it difficult to dodge this move at high speed. However, He Qizhou did as he wished and did not dodge. Instead, he held the sword in both hands and changed his stabbing to teasing. He successfully recovered about six
All the strength was poured into the sword body, facing the gleaming steel knife.
Both of them were using their full strength. After the sword energy collided with each other, there was a "crack" sound, and the extremely tough saber was cut into two. He Qizhou's sword force did not stop, and when the opponent lowered his head to dodge, he put his helmet on
Two of his feathers were cut off! As long as they were one-on-one, the frost-defying sword filled with true energy was still unstoppable.
After the move, the sound of galloping horse hooves was heard not far away. The soldiers who had escaped from the Keji camp were passing by the two of them one by one. The officer turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran: "Come quickly."
, he is so angry! Come and save me! Don’t run away. If you run away again, be careful of military action! There will be a heavy reward for saving me..."
Although He Qizhou was really angry, he was still more than enough to deal with this officer. This man's four meridians, strong tendon and middle meridians' physique, and combat power were stronger than the six meridians he encountered on his way westward. He Qizhou hurried a few steps
, a sword slashed the opponent's left ankle as he was about to push hard on the ground. The officer screamed, and after a long series of somersaults, he finally stopped and shouted for mercy!
He Qizhou slowly approached with his sword in hand and said: "With your ability, as long as there are four or five more soldiers, I will probably be unable to do anything to you, but who told you to abandon them and flee first? Do you know
, after I just used that sword, I consumed too much, and I may not even be able to defeat two or three soldiers. If you don’t run away, and command your men to continue attacking, you may win or lose."
"Young hero, spare your life, I really don't dare to fight anymore." The officer cried, but he felt extremely regretful in his heart.
"Tell me, why are you going to the Western Regions?" He Qizhou approached with his sword in hand.
"I, I'm just a member of a hundred households. I really don't know anything about it. I'm just following orders. Please spare my life, young hero!"
"I'll spare you and let you go and destroy the Keji tribe again?" Xu Mu also rushed over and killed another Yulin Guard on the way.
"I swear that I will never touch a single hair of the Keji people again." The officer hissed, covering his injured ankle.
Xu Mu said to Qi Zhou: "There are still a lot of people running away, let's take him back for questioning first!"
"Okay." He Qizhou stepped forward and hit several important points on the officer, and then threw it onto the officer's own mount. The officer did not dare to resist at all and was at the mercy of He Qizhou. The other empty horse was also well-trained.
Su, obediently followed the three riders in front towards the Keji camp.
"Who are you? Who led the team? Hebian Qingfeng came here in person?" Xu Mu asked on the horse.
"No, no, my status is too low, and I don't know who is leading the team. He must be a big shot." The officer on the horse said hurriedly.
"Cut off another of his hamstrings!" Xu Mu said calmly.
"No problem!" He Qizhou took a few steps closer on horseback, drew his sword and was about to attack, when the officer shouted: "Wait, wait!"
"Say it!" Xu Mu said with a gloomy face.
"I will tell you if you can let me go," the officer replied.
"Do you think it's possible?" Xu Mu asked.
"Can you not kill me?" the officer asked.
"It depends on how you behave. There are other survivors in the camp. If you say even half a word wrong, I guarantee you will regret not committing suicide." Xu Mu already had great contempt for this person, and it was expected that he would not dare to commit suicide.
The officer hurriedly said: "I can say that I only ask you to spare my life!"
"If the information is useful, I won't kill you." Xu Mu said.
"Me too." He Qizhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"I, my name is He Lianshun, I am the fifth generation grandson of Taizu, and my father is the king of the county. You can ask him to spend money to redeem me when the time comes!"
"Hmph, you Zhou Dynasty princes only have eight hundred if you don't have one thousand, how valuable do you think you are!" Xu Mu snorted.
"Yes, I am nothing. This time we are led by the Sixth Prince. We are going to the Western Regions. I heard that the extra horses and people we asked for from the Keji tribe are going to be given as gifts. Where are we going?
A country with a hundred households really doesn’t know what it does.”
"Who is it? Don't you just want horses and food and grass? You have long expected that the Keji people will not be able to pay enough?" He Qizhou asked.
"Even if we have enough, we will still find a way to get them to give out a little girl." He Lian said succinctly.
"Why only a little girl?" Xu Mu asked, holding back his anger.
