Chapter 63: Confusing
Qiu Bentong looked at all this as if he was remembering something, and then he raised his hand to lift his clothes, and there was a scar on his shoulder that ran through his stomach.
This scar, according to Su Xin's visual inspection, should have almost disemboweled.
The scar could almost become a fatal injury, but Qiu Bentong was lucky to survive, which couldn't help but make Su Xin secretly amazed.
I don't know what Qiu Bentong has gone through to have this terrifying scar, but at present, Qiu Bentong shows this to Su Xin, Su Xin asked suspiciously: "Boss Qiu, what does this mean?"
"This scar was left after I fled from southern Xinjiang, fortunately I was not caught at that time for special reasons, otherwise you would not have seen these war horses I raised here. ”
Qiu Bentong sighed while explaining, then put his clothes back on, and pointed to the group of war horses and said: "Our family has been raising horses for a living for generations, and when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, we provided war horses for the imperial army. ”
Su Xin's eyelids jumped, he didn't expect Qiu Bentong's family background to be so big, and he actually began to breed war horses during the founding of the country.
But Su Xin thought about it, since this family has such a long history, and it is also a strategic resource such as cultivating war horses, then their family's heritage should be very strong.
Although there are a lot of hundreds of war horses, for such a family, it is indeed quite shabby, and even if there are only hundreds of war horses, their value is far from being defended by Qiu Bentong, who is only in the psychic realm.
"Boss Qiu, I still can't believe it. Su Xin said this lightly, he vaguely guessed in his heart that he seemed to have come into contact with some secret, he wanted to leave here as soon as possible, originally he didn't want to protect Zhu Haifeng to reach southern Xinjiang, but because of the task released by the system, he had to complete it.
Immediately after that, Su Xin hurriedly said: "I don't know Gongzi Zhu well......"
"Su Gongzi, don't leave in a hurry, even if Gongzi doesn't help me, can you listen to Qiu. ”
Su Xin originally wanted to turn around and leave, but after hearing Qiu Bentong's words, he stopped suddenly, and then turned around and stood in place.
Qiu Bentong let out a long breath.
"Trouble Mr. Su. ”
Su Xin was listening to Qiu Bentong's story, and the voice of the system also came out of his mind, and when he listened to what the system said, he couldn't help but jump up, but Qiu Bentong was in front of Su Xin again, he forcibly suppressed his emotions, and said silently in his heart: "System, are you playing with me." ”
"The system simply publishes tasks based on the behavior of the host. ”
After Su Xin heard this, he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, why didn't he just leave neatly, but he had to stop for a while.
The system issued another side quest to Su Xin, but this side quest was different from usual, it was an investigation task.
"Investigate the secrets behind the Qiu Bentong family and make those behind the scenes unlucky, rewarding the unknown. ”
Oh my God, Su Xin is about to shout out, the system you let yourself be unlucky, don't harm others, it's not enough to do these things by being just a person in the martial arts realm.
Su Xin wanted to refuse this mission, but the mission was the same as the main quest that was issued mandatorily.
For Su Xin, these are just things that happened in his heart, and Qiu Bentong is now talking about what he wants to tell Su Xin.
Qiu Bentong's voice diverted Su Xin's attention from the system, since the system has forcibly released this side quest, even if it is not clear what kind of reward can be obtained in the future, but it still has to be completed, and now what Qiu Bentong said is a clue, Su Xin can't be careless.
Su Xin felt Qiu Bentong's aura fluctuate, and the aura overflowed from his body, causing the several war horses running around him to scatter in fright.
After Qiu Bentong calmed down, he let out a long breath.
"The history of our family's horse breeding is too long, and even I don't know how many war horses my family has bred, but the only thing that is certain is that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if our family is called second in horse breeding, no one dares to call it first. ”
Qiu Bentong said very confidently, and Su Xin looked at him and felt that he didn't look like he was lying.
"Our ancestors are said to have bred a dragon horse, the mount of the Founding Emperor.
This dragon horse is said in my family's classics, it is a war horse that has surpassed the realm of qi control, but since then, no one has been able to breed it. ”
"Over the years, our family has been weaker than the generation, and the war horses that have been cultivated are not as good as the generations, it is said that hundreds of years ago, when a large-scale invasion of foreign races, the dynasty dispatched the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry, which had not been used for a long time. ”
"At that time, the Great Zhou Iron Horse, their war horses, each of them was at least above the psychic realm, and there were even a large number of war horses in the Gathering Vein Realm, these iron horses, but the aliens were frightened, and they also took advantage of the situation to step on several great sects with a thousand-year-old inheritance. ”
When Su Xin heard this, he couldn't help frowning, if what Qiu Bentong said was true, their Qiu family was really a big family, even if it was not comparable to the top families in the imperial capital, but its strength and heritage should definitely not be underestimated, plus he was able to breed war horses, which was quite tied to the Great Zhou royal family, who dared to provoke easily.
But it was such a family that lost the core inheritance of its own family in an accident, that is, the method of cultivating top war horses.
Although a part of the inheritance has been retained under the desperate protection of the family, the most core content that can cultivate war horses above the realm of gathering veins has disappeared without a trace.
Then the family began to be lonely, unable to breed top war horses, then for the Great Zhou royal family, it must have no use value, without the protection of the royal family, Qiu Bentong's family will be struggling.
The various resources they obtained by using their influence were divided among other big forces in a battle, but they couldn't come up with the strength to deal with these big forces that took advantage of the danger, so the family collapsed.
In Qiu Bentong's generation, they were able to breed war horses, but they could only supply ordinary elite troops, like the top terror army in the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry, but they never had a chance again.
However, at the beginning, their family could at least breed war horses in the psychic realm, even if the number was extremely rare, but they were still able to occupy a certain position in southern Xinjiang.
For example, similar to the hundreds of war horses in front of them, at that time, they were able to breed nearly a thousand war horses every year, which was a behemoth compared to other ordinary families.
