Chapter 31: Undefeated and Defeated
No wonder everyone was surprised.
Although it seems that these Tangut people are only a few hundred, it is not much.
But you must know that these are all warriors from the Yipintang of Western Xia, and all of them have martial arts.
There are also many masters recruited by the Western Xia State, which are by no means comparable to ordinary armies.
This is a group of martial arts masters who have been trained by the army, and they are enough to match a team of 10,000 people on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, they were beheaded by Zhao Mingyuan and Qiao Feng to capture the flag, and they were all forced to surrender.
This can also be seen more and more that the martial arts of the two are beyond everyone's imagination.
What's even more amazing is that after this battle, the dead bodies in the apricot forest saw the fierce battle, but Zhao Mengyuan and Qiao Feng didn't seem to be injured.
Although the clothes of the two were already stained with blood, they were both the blood of the enemy.
This also reflects the strength of the two, and they are still comfortable in the face of such a situation.
After this common battle, Zhao Mingyuan and Qiao Feng also established a common friendship, and the two sides cherished each other.
Zhao Mingyuan praised Qiao Feng's eighteen palms of dragon descent for being fierce and violent, invincible, and worthy of being the first palm in the world.
Qiao Feng also said that Zhao Mingyuan's swordsmanship was exquisite, and his sword aura was like a rainbow, even the six-vein divine sword of Tianlong Temple might not be able to catch it, and it was not an exaggeration to call it the first sword in the world.
In fact, seeing Qiao Feng's majestic and invincible appearance when he fought, Zhao Mingyuan also thought to himself in his heart.
Because, he found that although his hard power was definitely above Qiao Feng, if it really fought, the two would fight to the death, and the winner might not be him.
Zhao Mingyuan saw that Qiao Feng's every move and change against the enemy was just right, and he actually played a record that was not inferior to his own strength with a slightly inferior strength.
This is not only because of Qiao Feng's supreme talent, but also because of his intuition tempered by a hundred battles.
Speaking of which, Zhao Mingyuan has traveled all the way, and his hands are by no means small.
However, as his martial arts have become stronger and stronger, in recent years, Zhao Mingyuan has done a lot less. And most of them are crushing battles, and there are really not many cases where the weak fight the strong.
Compared with an invincible person of the same rank like Qiao Feng, who is accustomed to having fewer enemies and more enemies and defeating the strong with the weak, it is indeed difficult to win with the same strength.
However, after thinking about it, Zhao Mingyuan also extinguished his heart.
Invincible at the same level is certainly very powerful, but wouldn't it be better to crush the strength?
Invincible at the same level, and even killing enemies at the same level, is almost the standard configuration of the protagonist.
But most of that is because it is difficult to raise the strength to another level, so you can only carefully temper the current realm.
However, Zhao Mingyuan has a clear path to promotion, and he can improve to a higher realm of strength by cultivating step by step.
Compared with being invincible at the same level, taking one's strength to the next level is a more suitable path for Zhao Mingyuan.
Thinking about it like this, Zhao Mingyuan no longer dwelled on this matter. Let them, the genius protagonists, continue to be invincible at the same level, and it's better for people like themselves to find a way to level up.
Soon, the beggars found the antidote to the "sad crisp breeze" from the Tangut people.
A foul smell spreads, and the poisoned person is soon free to move.
Zhao Mingyuan also specially hid a poison and antidote of "Sorrowful Crisp Breeze", and prepared to go back to study it.
After all, this is indeed a peculiar prescription.
Zhao Mingyuan has also studied medical skills for many years, so he naturally can't be called a miracle doctor, but he can also proudly be called an old Chinese medicine doctor.
With this great victory, what to do with these captured Tanguts became a problem.
Kill it directly? Something seems wrong.
After all, Helian Tieshu was not only the general of the Western Xia, but also the envoy who came to the Great Song Dynasty this time, and he entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty justifiably.
Therefore, if all the envoys of Western Xia died in the hands of the beggars, the impact would definitely not be small.
Diplomacy is no trivial matter, and it is definitely not a trivial matter in the first place. This is a force comparable to that of an army of 10,000 people, and how to deal with it is absolutely not to be underestimated.
If all of them were killed, the diplomatic relations between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia would inevitably break out again, and even if the war resumed, it was not impossible.
Although the two countries were often at war, the Western Xia had long coveted the Great Song Dynasty. However, once the smoke rises again, I don't know how many Lebanese people will suffer because of it.
Such a responsibility, but the beggars can't afford it.
Besides, a gang of hundreds of thousands of people like the Beggar Gang, who is in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, how can they really not be controlled by the Great Song Dynasty at all?
How is this possible?
In terms of internal management, there is no government that is the most proficient than the Great Song Dynasty. Especially the martial artists, they are being stared at to death.
After all, at the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin was a one-handed Taizu long fist who fought all over the country, and also laid this foundation. How can their children and grandchildren despise the people in the rivers and lakes?
In fact, maybe today's series of actions against Qiao Feng were secretly fueled by people in the Song Dynasty.
After all, they absolutely did not want to see a Khitan in the territory of the Song Dynasty holding such a powerful force in the rivers and lakes.
No, before Qiao Feng and the others discussed countermeasures, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty came to the door.
Looking at the big nose on his face, Zhao Mingyuan understood why he was able to persuade Na Helian Tieshu to surrender, but it turned out that he had planned it a long time ago.
Looking at Duan Yanqing, Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan beside the Great Song officials, Zhao Mingyuan understood why the beggars didn't see a few of them when they counted the corpses and prisoners.
Zhao Mingyuan thought that they saw the strength of Zhao Mingyuan and Qiao Feng, and knew how powerful they were, so they fled.
Now that I think about it, half and half.
Seeing the strength of the two, Duan Yanqing was indeed not ready to step forward and fight hard.
After all, he went to the Xixia Yipintang to make offerings to seek benefits. It's just a temporary shelter here, but it's not here to work for the Tangut people.
Seeing such a powerful enemy, where was Duan Yanqing really willing to rush forward? It's just for show.
Only a person with a bad brain like the South China Sea Crocodile God wants to step forward and fight to avenge the crane in the clouds.
However, this was stopped by Duan Yanqing.
After all, with such a useful tool, Duan Yanqing didn't want the South China Sea Crocodile God to die here like a crane in the clouds.
So, the three of them didn't work hard and pretended to be. Then he took advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides and quietly slipped away.
After all, Duan Yanqing, a member of the Western Xia side, has the highest martial arts and knows the situation on the scene best. He knew that although there were many warriors in the Xixia Yipintang, he would definitely not be able to help Zhao Mingyuan and Qiao Feng.
It is impossible to kill both of them unless their internal power is exhausted. However, as long as the two of them don't fight to the death, they can leave immediately after the beggars help the disciples withdraw. Then the Western Xia side is just defeated and invincible after all.
Unfortunately, their slip-up was discovered by the big nose, which had been keeping an eye on the situation in the rear.
The big nose did not stop them, but pushed them to find the officials of the Great Song Honglu Temple, that is, the officials and diplomats of the Great Song Dynasty who received the Western Xia delegation on this trip.
In fact, those officials had been following the Western Xia mission all along.
It's just that everyone in Western Xia rushed to the apricot forest here, and they hurried all the way. The civil officials of the Great Song Honglu Temple didn't know how to ride a horse, so they had to sit in a carriage and move forward slowly, which was pulled to the back.
The big nose asked Duan Yanqing and his party to rush to call the officials of the Great Song Dynasty as a backup hand. I didn't expect it to work.
Hearing that the Western Xia envoy General Helian and his party were besieged by a group of beggars from the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song officials were immediately furious, and under the guidance of Duan Yanqing, they quickly came to the apricot forest.
The officials of the Great Song Dynasty greeted Helian Tieshu with a pleasant face, whether he was frightened, and so on, made Helian Tieshu feel at home, and soon settled down.
In order to calm Helian Tieshu's anger, the Great Song official also made it clear that he would severely punish the matter.
Then he turned his head, as if with a different face, and reprimanded the beggar gang harshly.
Although he is only a literati, he has no martial arts. But among the hundreds of beggars, this Great Song official was not afraid, and as soon as he yelled at Qiao Feng and the others, his big hat was buttoned over again and again.
said that they were lawless, interfered in the military affairs of the two countries, and even dared to threaten foreign guests. This is a sinner who ignores the people of the world and intends to provoke a war between the two countries, and is a national sinner.
Saying this, the beggars were furious, and they all clenched their fists.
In fact, the reputation of the beggar gang in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was not good.
No, it should be said that all the people in the martial arts do not have a good impression in the hearts of the literati.
Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, these five words almost exhaust the point of view in their hearts.
What kind of chivalrous and righteous deeds, how can you martial artists do, then what do you need to do in the law?
Even if that official embezzled and took bribes, robbed people's daughters, and destroyed his family, it was not something that you martial arts people should be in charge of, let alone kill.
You can collect evidence of his crime and solve it through regular channels.
When the time comes, we will naturally deal with it impartially.
Whether it is fined three glasses of wine or demoted to a foreign place to be an official, it will definitely be dealt with.
This is probably the opinion of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty on these so-called "heroes".
Seeing that this Great Song Dynasty official was submissive to the Western Xia people, he attacked his patriots hard.
Many of the beggars were extremely angry, only to feel that their enthusiasm had been wasted, and they couldn't help but be disheartened.
and the Tangut people shed blood desperately, they are not afraid. However, it is desperate to see that all your efforts are not recognized.
However, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
For the sake of hundreds of thousands of beggar gang disciples, the beggar gang had to let the Great Song Dynasty officials take away a group of Western Xia warriors.
Even, the Great Song Dynasty officials tried to get them to apologize to Hao Liantieshu and his party.
It's just that seeing that all the people were looking at themselves with fierce eyes, they looked at themselves eagerly, as if they were ready to do it, and the Great Song Dynasty official finally stopped insisting.
Looking at the swaggering, as if the Tangut people had returned victorious. In the apricot forest, there was silence. The people of the rivers and lakes are all happy.
