In the early spring, the cold was unexpectedly steep, and it seemed that due to the billowing gunpowder smoke in the distance, the frost and snow on the ground on the ground outside Jinyang City were muddy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qi Dezhong stood alone in the center of the official road, surrounded by more than ten horsemen in front and behind, armed with swords and muskets, but no one dared to step forward.

This group of well-equipped and well-trained soldiers were all officers and men of the Qianchao Dynasty, and they had been specially trained to go deep behind enemy lines to reconnoiter and sabotage.

Since the establishment of the Hongshan Council, the twelve sects of Kyushu no longer take the initiative to participate in the Hongchen disputes and the change of dynasties with the power of the sects. However, in addition to the various sects that the Red Mountain Council gradually absorbed, there were many practitioners throughout Middle-earth Kyushu who had scattered lineages and were not well known.

Most of these cultivators lack all kinds of helpful things in the process of cultivation, such as the blessed land cave heaven that is quiet and peaceful, the heavenly materials and earth treasures that can be refined into cultivation weapons, and the elixir used to boost mana.

Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, if there is no protection of the sect inheritance, this kind of help is hard to find, but if you are attached to the emperor and rely on the court to use the power of a country to search, it is much more convenient than going up the mountain and into the sea by yourself.

These cultivators who lived in the emperor's family also had the intention of leaving a Taoist inheritance through the emperor's family business, or becoming the master of the imperial palace, or selecting successors among the many princes and generals.

Since ancient times, there have been many cultivators and immortals, and even those who have attained immortal power are even more ethereal and difficult to find, even those with great mana are not easily visible in the world. Perhaps he may not be able to show his advantage in the face of continuous artillery fire on the frontal battlefield, but as a scout guerrilla behind enemy lines, he is unable to defend against it.

The captain has been stationed in Jinyang City for a long time, and in the battle to defend the city, he received an order from the cultivation elder of the army, asking him to go out of the city to search for the whalebone staff, and to carefully interrogate every unknown person on the road to prevent spies.

When the army in the city was ready to launch a counterattack against the Heavenly King's rebels, the captain led his most elite group and galloped towards the northern outskirts of the city, where the whalebone staff might be found.

Not long after, the lieutenant found Qi Dezhong walking alone on the official road from a distance, unaware that the nearby war was raging and very dangerous, and such a sudden appearance of the character was definitely not an ordinary confused passerby.

"Who is coming, quickly put down the blade and weapon!" The captain saw Qi Dezhong, and his heart was nervous, if it was an ordinary person, he would have asked his subordinates to go up and search his body.

Qi Dezhong was not frightened, lowered his eyebrows, did not even raise his head, his lips opened and closed, and his slender voice reached the ears of the soldiers of the Qianchao: "Qi Dezhong, who is scattered in the rivers and lakes, passing through Jinyang City, does not know the smoke of war here, and is trying to retreat. ”

"What is the long strip of cloth wrapped around your back?" The musket in the captain's hand was aimed at Qi Dezhong, although this flintlock pistol was average, but in his hand it was completely sure to shoot Qi Dezhong.

"Entrusted by the predecessors, we will continue to send it to other places. ”

"Elsewhere, it can't be a traitor to the Heavenly King Sect, right?"

"It's not. ”

"Where can you argue!" The captain couldn't bear the uneasiness in his heart, and shouted: "Seeing that you also have some cultivation, hurry up and cooperate with us to unload your blades and enter Jinyang City for interrogation." ”

Qi Dezhong was silent, he suddenly felt an inexplicable anger and restlessness, this group of soldiers came to intercept, obviously for the whalebone staff.

Huzhou Ke helped the Qianchao, shot and Xin Wuliang fought in the clouds and lost, Qi Dezhong, as a bystander, felt sad and calm, and his mood floated, which was where Qi Dezhong's fate lies.

But now, seeing the officers and soldiers of the Qianzhou Dynasty and the cultivators in Jinyang City, there is no one who is saddened by the death of Huzhou guest, but the Jiji camp wants to obtain the whalebone staff.

No one asked the officers and soldiers and cultivators in Jinyang City to mourn for Huzhouke, but they understood that things were not the same as emotional acceptability, and Qi Dezhong's anger came from this.

"The battle ahead is urgent, you should return to Jinyang City quickly. Qi Dezhong waved his hand, "Even if you take back the whalebone staff, what's the use? Jinyang City has an iron wall, but at this time, he rashly went out of the city to fight back, wouldn't he give up his advantage?"

"The whalebone staff is indeed in your hand!" the lieutenant exclaimed, "Take it!"

As soon as the order came out, the surrounding muskets rang out continuously, the projectiles galloped, and the cold mist and water waves around Qi Dezhong's body rose, and the speed of the projectile immediately slowed down.

The captain seemed to have expected it, and flew out on the back of the horse, the scimitar at his waist swirled and danced, and the Dao Dao sword light was one after another, and he directly took Qi Dezhong in the gap of the projectile.

The knife momentum was even worse, Qi Dezhong dodged backwards, and the suspended projectiles around him fell to the ground, and at this time there was another burst of gunfire!

"Good calculation!" Qi Dezhong was silent, but he was surprised in his heart.

Compared to the bandits in Changlin County, the soldiers who had really been in battle for a long time and understood the subtleties of the cultivation of the Dao, even though their cultivation was not as good as Qi Dezhong, they knew all kinds of means to deal with cultivators.

In the first round of shooting, Qi Dezhong used the technique of divine condensation to capture the incoming projectile, the captain did not wait for Qi Dezhong to cast a magic to reflect the projectile, and forced Qi Dezhong to defend himself and dodge with a knife at close range, and took the spell of foreign objects in the air, and his mind could not be broken.

This group of scout elite cavalry carried definitely more than one musket, and at the moment when Qi Dezhong collected the method, without any orders, the second round of shooting seemed to be connected into the same sound, which shows that it is dense!

The lieutenant rolled to the ground, and all the surrounding projectiles shot Qi Dezhong's body, but there was no blood.

Looking closely, there was a layer of frost condensation on the surface of Qi Dezhong's body, which was as hard as gold and iron, and resisted the fire of the musket to the death.

Qi Dezhong exhaled lightly, if it weren't for the snow dragon ball in his hand, which he used to turn into a layer of ice armor, even if he didn't lose his life in the second round of shooting, he would be seriously injured on the spot.

The situation is critical, the other party already has the heart to take his life, Qi Dezhong no longer has to hide his clumsiness, the Jueyun sword does not pull out, and the hilt of the sword that flies out upside down is like a siege tree, directly connecting people and horses to fly in front of several horses, and the figure flashed, as if disappearing in place.

The captain was shocked, and he knew that Qi Dezhong had more than one cultivation artifact on his body, and seeing that several of his subordinates were injured and fell from their horses in the blink of an eye, the captain quickly took out a bomb, pulled the fuse, and the fuse suddenly spontaneously combusted, and it was thrown into the distance, and the bomb exploded.

Contrary to the imaginary situation where the fragments of the fire were scattered, after the bomb exploded, a thick fog mixed with yellow and green instantly spread, and the captain and the soldiers took out a mask to cover their mouth, nose, ears and eyes and put it on.

The dense fog was like a living thing, and it didn't give Qi Dezhong a chance to retreat and dodge, and rushed towards him like the wind.
