Chapter 27: No Reason

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

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

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

Qi Xuansu's attitude made the people in black relax their vigilance slightly, because in their impression, most of the members of the secret society were desperadoes who would only kill fish and fish, but would not sit back and wait for death. Coupled with the approaching cavalry, these men in black felt that they had a chance to win and had the situation firmly in their hands.

The realm is high and the cultivation level is high, so what?

Of course you can kill all of us by yourself, but as long as you don't want to hide your head and tail for the rest of your life, then you have no choice but to give up resistance when facing the men in black, the Protectorate, and the court.

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

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

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

"They are your vassals, and they are also the ones who want my life. If those fire blunderbuss hit me, what will happen to me? I am not a heavenly being. I cannot wave my sleeves and leave you with no power to fight back. I won’t hurt you at all. Of course, if I were a human being, I wouldn’t stand here and talk nonsense to you.” Qi Xuansu asked, “Or, their lives are lives, but my life is not life.”

Chen Meng smiled but said nothing.

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, and of course they could not be compared.

The same is true for Qi Xuansu. This is just a group of people who just start shooting without saying a word after meeting him. He doesn't care what stories these people have, whether they have wives, children, parents, or brothers and sisters. What does it have to do with me? Is this the reason why you killed me?

If Qi Xuansu is a true heavenly being, it's not that he doesn't mind showing his kindness, because these people can't hurt him. But not now, because these people did hurt him and could even kill him.

I am not the Xuan Sage who helps the world, I am just Qi Xuansu who takes care of 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 and so is Qi Xuansu. It is just a matter of life and death.

At this moment, the cavalry were no longer one hundred feet away. Because Qi Xuansu had obviously given up resistance, the cavalry began to slow down and no longer maintained their charging posture.

Chen Meng punched Qi Xuansu hard on the abdomen: "This punch is for Wang Mutou."

Qi Xuansu remained motionless.

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

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

Qi Xuansu remained motionless, just narrowing his eyes.

The cavalry began to form a circle and stop.

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

Qi Xuansu watched the cavalry from the corner of his eye, but still did not resist.

"This is for Old Stone."

"This is for No. 2 Middle School."

Chen Meng had no intention of stopping, and his fists and knees kept falling on Qi Xuansu's body.

When Chen Meng stopped panting, Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand to press his lower abdomen. If he didn't have supernatural powers derived from flesh and blood and a body comparable to that of a martial artist, he really wouldn't be able to hold on. Even so, he could clearly feel the pain passed down from his body. The pain comes.

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

Chen Meng narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Qi Xuansu smiled: "If you don't trust someone, how can you regret what you promised?"

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 are wearing, and I understand your desire to avenge your brother, but to me, this is not the reason why you want to kill me."

"Obviously you were the ones who struck first indiscriminately, and the blunderbuss was fatal. I had to fight back to protect myself. As a result, you were inferior to others in skill and were maimed by me. In the end, it seems that I was guilty of the worst crime."

"The strong have their reasons, the weak have their reasons, but we, the people in the middle, have no reason. Isn't this too unreasonable?"

Chen Meng was silent and drew his saber: "The imperial court and military orders are the greatest truth."

Qi Xuansu said: "I said that being convenient to others is also convenient to yourself."

"I also said that fighting against the men in black and the imperial court will not end well." Chen Meng said coldly.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "It is true that fighting against the court and the Taoist sect will not end well, but what does this have to do with you? If you die, what will happen to your wife, children, and children? Even if I am cut into pieces, what should I do? To eat or not to eat, don’t you think about them?”

Chen Meng's expression suddenly changed, but it was already too late.

Qi Xuansu's figure surged up. At such a close distance, Chen Meng could not avoid it.

Qi Xuansu was seen holding Chen Meng tightly with his limbs, like a python strangling its prey. Then Qi Xuansu exerted force suddenly, and there was a sound of bones breaking, which made people shudder. Chen Meng, who was only half a step away from the Kunlun stage, had no power to resist. His limbs and chest were crushed alive, his eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs almost fell out of his eye sockets.

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

The black-clothed men around him never expected such a shocking change, and they all raised their muskets and aimed at Qi Xuansu.

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

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

The black-clothed men's muskets and bullets all fell on Chen Meng's body. With this layer of obstruction, the bullets became a spent force and could not hurt Qi Xuansu. After a wave of fire guns, Qi Xuansu pushed the corpse away, picked up his "Shenlong hand gun", jumped up, and ran straight to the cavalry leader.

While 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 hand gun was that he didn't want to face the charging cavalry, even if it was just light cavalry, not heavy cavalry with armor on horseback.

However, without enough distance to accelerate the charge, the power of the cavalry was quite limited.

The leader of the cavalry was a captain, with pupils contracted, staring at the unknown person in the world, neither advancing nor retreating, but instead pulling the reins, riding the horse with legs clamped on the horse's belly, and drawing the sword to meet him.

The black-clothed cavalry cooperated well, and the others also drew their swords to surround him.

This was an era when firearms were in the ascendant and cold weapons still dominated.

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

Looking at the whole world, there are five major horse-producing areas. The first is the northwest horse-producing area, including part of the Western Regions, as well as Qinzhou, Liangzhou and other places. The second is the northern horse-producing area, which is the vast grassland ruled by the Golden Horde. The courts of all dynasties have set up horse markets here. The third is the southwestern horse-producing area, mainly in Shuzhou and Yunzhou. The fourth is the Central Plains horse-producing area. Since ancient times, the Central Plains has been a place where people have been chasing horses and horses, and horse breeding has become popular. Later, it declined for a time. Jinzhou Yanmenguan is the entrance to the northern horse breed. The court has set up a herdsman in Jinzhou Hedong Prefecture. The fifth is the Liaodong horse-producing area, which is mainly concentrated in Fengzhou and Liaozhou, with Fengzhou as the main one.

The Daxuan court set up the Yuanma Temple in these five places to manage horse breeding. The Yuanma Temple has the same duties as the Taipu Temple and is a third-grade government office. Each temple has one minister and one junior minister, and there is no fixed number of temple secretaries. Each temple has six supervisors and 24 gardens. The gardens are divided into three levels. The upper garden has about 10,000 horses, the middle garden has 7,000 horses, and the lower garden has 4,000 horses. The Yuanma Temple supervised the raising of horses in each garden and obeyed the Ministry of War.

The mounts of these Western State border troops came from the upper garden of the Yuanma Temple in the northwest. They were tall and large. Even without armor, the horses themselves weighed two thousand pounds. If they were heavy cavalry with both men and horses in armor, they would weigh nearly three thousand pounds. Such heavy cavalry, forming a formation, charging together with tens of thousands of cavalry, was truly an iron armored torrent that was unstoppable.

But the next scene made everyone's eyes widen.

Qi Xuansu collided directly with the captain. Instead of the imagined scene of Qi Xuansu being trampled under the horse's hooves, Qi Xuansu stood still and held the horse with his shoulder. Then Qi Xuansu grabbed the tall horse and exerted force all over his body. The veins in his arms bulged, his waist and back twisted, and the true energy in his body flowed to the extreme, and he was directly overturned to the ground with the horse.

This is the warrior in the Five Immortals' inheritance, who abandoned his true qi and thoughts, and united his spirit and flesh, gaining unparalleled physical strength. Qi Xuansu is not a pure warrior, but with the help of the true qi of a wanderer, he is not much inferior.

The general was pressed under the horse and unable to get up. Qi Xuansu took a step forward and strangled his throat with one hand before the other cavalry arrived.
