The rolling snowfield hills, raging the north wind, blowing on people's faces, like a knife cut, Ma Xiao rode a long-haired thin horse slowly in the wind and snow, wrapped in sheepskin, his face was frozen red, but he was holding an old book to read with relish, that day Dugu Xiaodao left after Ma Xiao did not stop, not only found his weapons in the village, but also put away a few bags of dry food left by the Chu soldiers, before leaving Ma Xiao collected the body of Lao Wang, although this person wanted to take away his own foundation, but after all, he gave this Dan Yuan on his body, and even the basic method of practicing Qi was taught by him, so that he accidentally embarked on the road of practicing Qi, Open the door to a new world, since Lao Wang has passed away, these grievances have also been written off, Ma Xiao also found a package on Lao Wang's body, there are some relics in it, this book is one of them, there is no title, the content inside is a note on the cultivation experience, recording the method of practicing qi and various matters that need to be paid attention to, but it is only remembered before the foundation is built, and there are also many basic medicines and treatment methods for treating external and internal injuries, but the most interesting thing is that the master of the note learns and creates his own self-defense kung fu, Lao Wang" Exit hurts people" is one of the kung fu, the content is very miscellaneous, Ma Xiao is more and more happy, actually laughed on horseback, with this note, even if there is no guidance from Lao Wang in the future, he can continue to practice qi, the only regret is that Ma Xiao is not very literate, can not read all, but this is no problem, there are many fallen gentlemen and scholars in Taizhou City, as long as you ask them for advice, you will be able to read through this note.

This person and a horse have been wandering on the snow field for seven or eight days, although Ma Xiao probably knows the direction of Taizhou City, but the mountain road has long been covered by wind and snow, it is difficult to identify, has gone wrong several times, and now Ma Xiao is addicted to notes, has no intention of looking at the road, all by this long-haired thin horse wandering around, unconsciously the sun has set, Ma Xiao is still addicted to the book and can not extricate himself, suddenly the long-haired horse stopped, pricked up his ears and turned his head to look in one direction, Ma Xiao also put away the old book and looked in the same direction, only to see a team of people and horses marching a few miles away, at this time they also noticed Ma Xiao, a cavalry in the team galloped towards Ma Xiao, and came to the front after a whileMa Xiaoyi was overjoyed when he saw that it was Peijun, and hurriedly dismounted and asked, "The eldest brother in front is Peijun from Taizhou City?"

The Peiguo cavalry stopped his horse and looked at Ma Xiao, and saw that he was also wearing Pei's military uniform, but he was a little embarrassed, so he replied, "That's right, where are you, how can you be on this mountain road?"

"I am also from Taizhou City, and was sent out to carry out military affairs, but the group was ambushed, the leader was arrested, and the rest were killed or captured.

"Well, you come with me first" The cavalry turned his horse and led Ma Xiao back to the team, and reported Ma Xiao's situation to the captain who led the team.

The lieutenant was a man of great stature, and he immediately carried a long mace, and he also looked Ma Xiaopien up and down and asked, "Which battalion are you from, but you have a famous thorn and a military card?"

"I am the leader of the new army in Gucheng in the east of the city, and this time I am performing military affairs with Captain Xu Qing, this is my name and military card" Saying that, Ma Xiao handed over the name thorn and military affairs card, and the lieutenant officer took it and looked at it, and then asked some about the new army of Gucheng and the implementation of military affairs, and confirmed Ma Xiao's identity, and let him join the team, but the long-haired horse was confiscated, and when he entered the marching team, Ma Xiao found that there were more than 100 people in this team, except for a few miscellaneous servants like himself, the others were all cavalry, and the posture of wearing a strong and stubborn posture was obviously a carefully selected elite, and the team was followed by more than a dozen carriages, and the goods on the carriage were covered with a thick canvas, and they were firmly tied with several ropes, which should be extremely important things, Ma Xiao suddenly thought that Lao Wang had told him, Several groups of teams they were sent out were suspicious soldiers, in order to cover the real purpose, if you guessed correctly, the team in front of them is the real "purpose" of Peijun's operation.

Without the long-haired horse, Ma Xiao sat in the carriage behind him like other miscellaneous servants and continued to march, Ma Xiao wanted to talk to the surrounding soldiers and miscellaneous servants to talk a few words, but these people all ignored him with a cold face, Ma Xiao was very thick-skinned, and he didn't care, but he smelled a faint fragrance in the team, it should be a kind of herbal incense, following the fragrance Ma Xiao saw a few different cavalry in the team, although a few of them also rode horses and wore Peijun's military uniforms and armor, but their bodies were obviously thin and slender, and Ma Xiao, who was a thief, recognized those people as women at a glance, and they were deliberately dressed like this, which made Ma Xiao suddenly interested, and kept aiming at several people。

As if sensing the gaze from behind, one of the petite women suddenly turned around, and stared at Ma Xiao viciously with her eyebrows upside down, so frightened that Ma Xiao quickly looked away and didn't dare to look at each other, thinking to herself, "This woman looks so beautiful, why are her eyes so fierce."

The soldiers first set up a black tent for five special cavalry, even the lieutenants could only be wrapped in sheepskin to spend the night in the snow, the miscellaneous servants surrounded more than a dozen carriages around the black tent, Ma Xiao was arranged to collect firewood to make cremation snow water, and so the soldiers finished eating, the horses were fed and drunk, all the open flames were extinguished, with the brigade of men and horses as cover, Ma Xiao finally relaxed in the nervous mood, and could practice with peace of mind, and found a corner that no one cared about and sat in the sheepskinLeaning on the wheels of the carriage, he began to meditate.

According to Lao Wang's instructions before his death, Ma Xiao has been able to practice qi in the five acupuncture points of Xiao Zhou Tian without obstacles, and filled up the heaven and earth vitality in the five acupuncture points.

The second layer of cultivation is first to fill the dantian, strengthen the Dan Yuan, prepare for having enough vitality to travel the Great Zhou Tian, and at the same time start to try to find more than a dozen important acupuncture points in the Great Zhou Tian, Ma Xiao continues to breathe in the Yuan Qi step by step, slowly refining and absorbing, after this period of cultivation, the speed of refining and absorbing the Yuan Qi is getting faster and faster, and the Dan Yuan in the abdomen is slowly becoming thicker and thicker, but the cultivation is the most taboo greedy and aggressive, after the Dan Yuan is stable, Ma Xiao uses his mind to mobilize wisps of Yuan Qi to condense, and the silk is wound into a thread, and it begins to run along the meridians, According to Xiaoba, the divine thoughts of the human race are too inferior, and it took him a lot of effort to get rid of his "illusion divine skills" A set of cultivation methods simplified, Ma Xiao memorized the mantra and began to practice every day under the supervision and guidance of Xiaoba, so the power of his divine thoughts has been slightly enhanced, and the perception of meridians and vitality is clearer, and the cultivation time can be extended for a period of time than before, and at the same time, the situation of dispersion of thoughts or distracting thoughts in the middle of cultivation becomes less, which is of great help to him to absorb refining vitality and mobilize vitality, maybe there is cavalry by his side tonight, Ma Xiao does not have to worry too much about his own safety, or maybe he has read a lot of cultivation experience and notes in the past few days, Ma Xiao's cultivation today is very smooth, and he has completed all the acupuncture points and meridians in a decent manner, and completed a big Zhou Tian happilyAfter finishing work, a wave of weakness and exhaustion hit, Ma Xiao knew that today was too strong, consuming too much vitality and thoughts, so he quickly packed up his mind, while continuing to slowly exhale vitality, while sealing his heart and mind, and nourishing his thoughts.

About five watches, Ma Xiao withdrew from the cultivation, although he did not wear a padded jacket at this time, but he did not feel cold at all, but there was a faint sense of surging qi and blood, this is the benefit of practicing qi, he was very satisfied with today's practice, stood up, moved his hands and feet, at this time the camp was very quiet, more than a dozen night vigil soldiers set up a clear sentry and a secret sentry, the rest of the people were resting, Ma Xiao looked at the sky in a daze, and after a while, he saw two snow eagles from far and near, chasing and wandering over the camp, such a pleasant tranquility made him look stupid, at this moment out of the black tent in the middle of the camp A woman wearing an earth-colored military uniform came out, glanced at the snow eagle on his head, came to the lieutenant officer, pushed him awake, pointed to the snow eagle on his head, whispered a few words in his ear, and then turned back to the tent.

The captain's face changed, immediately woke up several chiefs, and then the chiefs woke up their subordinates, no one said a word throughout the whole process, there was no other noise in the camp except for the sound of rectifying the armor, the discipline was extremely strict, after the Peijun was rectified, they held shields and weapons, rode on the war horses and lined up, surrounded by iron barrels around the carriage, and cooperated with each other very skillfully, this is also the Peijun who is most like a soldier that Ma Xiao has ever seen, after arranging the military formation, the captain took a longbow, and took the arrow to shoot two arrows at a very fast speed at the snow eagle in the sky, and the two snow eagles fell next to the camp one after the other, and then the camp fell into silence, except for the sound of the wind there was no sound。

The surrounding soldiers all looked like the enemy, and the excessive silence made Ma Xiao a little nervous, and he didn't know where he should stand, so he simply stood by the carriage with a round shield and a javelin.

About half a pillar of incense, the southwest direction of the camp lit up torches, and at the same time the neighing of horses sounded, and then the camp's four sides were lit up with torches, the cavalry in the darkness from several directions quickly approached, and after a while, the Pei regiment was surrounded on the periphery of the camp, seeing that there were two or three thousand troops, and after sealing all the roads, the cavalry stopped half a mile away and did not come forward again.

Several black-clothed horsemen came to the front with banners and torches, and shouted: "Let your lord come out and answer."

The army formation parted a mouth, and a scout rode out of the battle and replied, "The nameless rat dares to call my master to come out, if you have something to say, tell me!"

The black-clothed cavalry flashed the military flag and shouted, "Hmph! Tell your leader, the general Rong Gongqin of the Chu State has surrounded you, if you hand over the materials, read that you are loyal to the country, you can release a way to live after disarming, if you want to resist, there is no forgiveness" As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew out of the camp and shot directly at the Chuguo military flag, and the lieutenant walked out of the camp and replied: "Peiguo's sons have no bad seeds, go back to your General Rong, let him let the horse come!"
