    The full moon hangs in the sky, the top of the human head is like a jade plate, and the moonlight is like water.

    A group of more than a hundred cavalrymen wearing refined armor turned from the official road into the small road, and the powerful horse hooves seemed to crush the moonlight on the dirt road.

    This cavalry force, all armed with swords and crossbows, was extremely capable. The burly leader of the cavalry actually lifted a long spear diagonally. Under the moonlight, the man's hideous scar was clearly visible diagonally across his entire face.  Ma Cha rarely appeared on the battlefield after the Spring and Autumn Period. This kind of weapon has been the favorite of frontier generals since Dafeng.

    Firstly, it is difficult to build, expensive, and as rare as a bloody horse. Secondly, it is inconvenient to use. It takes at least ten years of soaking to see the skill, so the children of non-border aristocratic families will not carry it into battle.  This cavalry commander can possess a long spear, so he is obviously no ordinary cavalry captain, and he must have a distinguished background.

    A scout turned back from the path and reported loudly: "General, the Xu family's thieves are still escorted by more than a dozen Jianghu grass bandits. They will soon be easily intercepted by our brothers who are waiting in front!"

    "Okay! These reckless scumbags dared to get together with the remnants of the Xu family and ruined more than thirty of our brothers. I will take good care of these bastards tonight!"

    About a mile away from this elite cavalry, on a small road where only three cavalry could pass abreast, twelve or three people were escorting a carriage at a high speed. When they saw the bright light in front of the road, everyone's expressions changed drastically.  I saw torches being raised at the other end of the road. There were three riders in each row, about ten rows, in an orderly manner. Under the light of the torch, among the elite riders, there were Liyang military standard light crossbows, ready to go.  .  Seeing this scene, the dozens of people in charge of Jianghu Caomang were still frightened even though everyone had already put life and death aside. The Xu family of Guanhai County, who had previously rescued the Xu family of Guanhai County who had been loyal for generations, went from secretly leaving the mansion to having an affair.  The soldiers at the gate of the city left the city smoothly without any danger, and it was smooth sailing. Unexpectedly, not long after they left the city, more than a hundred riders came diagonally. Seven or eight people died on the spot under the fire of light crossbows. If it hadn't been for  The senior martial artist with the cultivation level of a Little Grandmaster took the initiative to cut off the rear and retreated from the enemy with his own strength, dragging the cavalry's horses back. I am afraid that no one can escape these thirty miles. Some of them looked back for the last time,  I only saw that the respected senior was hit by several arrows after killing more than 20 horsemen, and then was stabbed through the chest by a cavalryman with that weird spear. With the huge inertia of the horse rushing forward,  After knocking the grandmaster away for more than forty steps, the cavalryman finally threw the body several feet away. It was obvious that the cavalryman was quite astonishing in both his natural physical strength and his martial arts skills. Even if the second-grade young grandmaster was not injured,  I'm afraid it's just like fighting with them.

    A knight in the rivers and lakes glanced at the large rice fields beside the road. Most of the autumn harvests had been completed. Clumps of threshed rice straw were stuck together and scattered on the fields. There was no time to pick them home.  He turned around and roared: "Go into the fields!"

    The old horseman driving the horse gritted his teeth, reined in his horse suddenly, turned around, and headed straight for the dry rice fields along the slope. After all, the carriage was not as light as riding a horse, and it suddenly bumped violently. After passing a low but hard field bank, it rushed past.  The four wheels were suspended in the air for a short time, and then crashed to the ground. There was a burst of pain and shouts from the car. There were men and women. Their voices sounded young, and they were even a little childish.

    Almost everyone in the elite cavalry in front who was responsible for blocking the carriage team was sarcastic. These guys really thought they were Beiliang frontier troops and Beimang cavalry. On the battlefield, such a blunt turn could be done casually.  of?  More than forty light cavalry also went downhill into the fields, but compared to the panicked fleeing team, this cavalry that was familiar with bows and horses was not only calm and leisurely, but also had a somewhat autumn hunting safari style.

    No wonder these cavalry are so arrogant, but they deserve this arrogance. They once belonged to the cavalry sequence of the southern Xinjiang army that crossed the Guangling River north. Although the fighting on the battlefield in Gyeonggi has not been fierce in recent years, in the early years, since they could  He became the Southern Xinjiang Cavalry, and was even seconded for a period of time to His Royal Highness, the then Crown Prince and now the Emperor, for Zhao Zhu's driving. Naturally, he can be regarded as a first-class warrior with a lot of money, but at the critical moment when merit is judged and rewards are given,  Gao Bohai, the general with 8,000 cavalry, had some trouble with Cheye, who was directly related to the old tribe of Shu King Chen Zhibao, for some reason. He originally thought it was a big deal and would not delay the appointment of a marquis. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to pay for such a sesame-sized thing.  Long Yan was furious about the incident. Even though Gao Bohai interceded with the two meritorious generals Zhang Dingyuan and Gu Ying, he was still directly dismissed. His eight thousand cavalry were split into three. One of the two thousand cavalry remained in Guangling Road and was temporarily subordinate to  At the Jianzhou General's Mansion, the cavalry commander Gao Tinghou was the only son of the former commander Gao Bohai. Now he directly skipped the Jianzhou General who was in charge and secretly established a relationship with the deputy governor Song Li.

    Guanhai County was not eye-catching on the map of the old Western Chu where "half of the world's reading seeds came from Guangling". The county did not present a lush scene of well-dressed Chinese people standing side by side. Instead, the Xu family in Guanhai stood out, and the Xu family was the only one.A well-deserved hairpin from generation to generation, the family lineage can be extended all the way back to the Ganlu South Crossing in the last years of Dafeng. It is an important branch of the Huang Dengxu family, the top wealthy family in Dafeng. Later, the Guanhai Xu family assisted the great Chu Jiang family for generations.  , good at literary governance, was once praised by the Emperor Jiang as "my great Chu literary daring". However, when Jiang Si and Cao Changqing joined forces to restore the country, the Guanhai Xu family may not be optimistic about the restoration of Western Chu.

    It may be that he was frightened by the billowing smoke of the Chu Dynasty's fall, but he also escaped the disaster. However, the talent of the Guanhai Xu family has withered, and the family's decline has become an irreversible situation. The family's high hopes have been placed on it.  The eldest grandson of Song Dynasty participated in the imperial examination together with Song Maolin. However, the latter won the first prize in one fell swoop, which was a great addition to the flourishing Song Dynasty. However, the former did not even qualify for the imperial examination and failed early in the autumn period.  , destined to be unable to provide help to the family in times of crisis, he had to stay in the capital with all his might and wait for the next meeting.

    Originally, the ups and downs of the Xu family in Guanhai were only in the Jiangnan Shilin or the future officialdom of Xinliyang. However, because of Rouge Ping, God made a big joke with the Xu family who "has the strongest fragrance of Guangling Taoist books".  The concubine of the Xu family, who was originally raised in a boudoir and unknown to anyone, was on the rouge list when she was only fifteen years old.

    Overnight, it became known all over the world. One comment, "The beauty of the little girl from the Xu family is enough to make the carp in the lake jump to the shore." It became famous all over the country and ranked fourth in the rouge review!  In an instant, people seeking marriage almost crossed the threshold, and people from all walks of life came one after another. Although the Guanhai Xu family devoted themselves to learning, she still maintained the character of a scholar when faced with being caught off guard. She bluntly said that the woman in the family had already made an appointment with a matchmaker several years ago.  The marriage will be consummated as long as the man is married. Guanhai Xu will never regret it.  But no one expected that the Xu family would grit their teeth and persevere, but the Guanhai County nobleman who had been friends with the Xu family for a long time backed down and refused to admit the marriage. The young man who was only half a year away from the crown ceremony even  It was at the urging of her parents that she got married quickly and married a well-matched girl from the Xiaojia Biyu.  Of course, the Vice Governor of Song Dynasty who smelled the fishy smell was obstructing all of this. Just imagine, how could Song Li miss a Yanzhi Ping Juese who was within his jurisdiction?  The bloody interception and killing tonight was nothing more than Marquis Gaoting's surrender.  It's just that Marquis Gaoting didn't expect to deal with a bunch of scholars and lose thirty elite cavalry who were fully capable of making contributions at the border. After all, he underestimated the background of the Central Plains clan.

    The dozens of heroes who were riding around the carriage all saw something strange in the distance. Behind a rice stack in the field in the distance, there were two people, one large and one small, burning a bonfire, as if they were roasting game.

    At this time, the elite cavalrymen who had caught up with the carriage team and were galloping parallel to each other had already raised their arms with crossbows in hand, and arrows shot out one after another. The unique sound of the arrows breaking through the air was particularly harsh in the quiet fields.

    One south and one north, the distance between the two sides was less than thirty steps. Most of the heroic warriors with martial arts were able to block the crossbow arrows with their weapons. However, there were still two people who were unlucky and escaped one arrow but not the second.  , one rider was shot through the throat, and he staggered forward for ten steps before falling off his horse and dying. The other rider was nailed directly into the sun, and the huge penetration force caused the rider's body to be thrown out on the spot.

    By the time the carriage passed by the bonfire, two more Jianghu martyrs who stood up for the Guanhai Xu family out of righteous indignation were killed on the spot.

    Probably because the two sides were about to leave the field and rush into the dense forest in front of them after galloping fifty steps, the light crossbows of the elite riders began to deliberately shoot at the horses of these people, especially the two big horses of the carriage.  After the horse in the north was hit by three arrows in a row, although the fine cavalry was afraid of accidentally injuring the prey in the carriage, the arrows fired at the horse were not fatal, but they were enough to stop the carriage.  The elderly groom tightened the reins with despair on his face, ignoring the severe pain in his arm, and forced the horse to stop to prevent the carriage from overturning.  The remaining knights in the arena stopped their horses on the north side of the carriage and lined up in a line to protect the carriage behind them.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    A middle-aged knight who looked like a captain leisurely turned his horse around, pointed the tip of his knife at the carriage, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone get out of the car!"

    No one responded.

    The knight sneered and waved his sword forward, and fired another wave of light crossbows. Only eight knights were left. Half of them either used their weapons to brush off the arrows or bent down to avoid the arrows. The other four knights rushed forward.  When they rushed, without exception, they were all shot into hedgehogs by dense arrows.

    An arrow accidentally hit the carriage, making a loud bang.

    The captain of the cavalry army didn¡¯t even look at the corpses and said sternly: ¡°I¡¯ll give you one last chance!¡±

    A more rapid and dull sound of horse hoofbeats sounded in the distance, and the general, Gaotinghou, had led the hundreds of horses to come.

    When he passed by the bonfire, he didn¡¯t kill anyone brazenly. He just poked and picked him with his horse. Suddenly, the fire burst out and enveloped the two people sleeping in the countryside.Poor thing.

    He slowed down the horse's hooves because he found that the two people who should have been in a hurry were still sitting where they were, not rolling and crawling to dodge the sparks.

    Marquis Gaoting hesitated for a moment, but still did not stop his horse. After all, tonight's prey was related to his career advancement, and he could clearly distinguish the importance.

    Due to the "mercy" of the general Gao Tinghou, the hundreds of elite cavalry behind him did not kill him. However, a few of them fired a few arrows in a showy manner, and they were nailed into the ground around the two people. The nearest arrow was just a few meters away.  The man in green shirt had only three or four inches at his feet.

    Marquis Gaoting came to the carriage, looked at the four heroes, and said with a gloomy smile: "You four, please dismount and you will not die! We escorted you all the way here, and you have done your best to benevolent and righteous."

    After the four people looked at each other, three of them dismounted slowly with shame on their faces. Gaoting Hou tilted his head, and arrows rained down immediately. All three of them were hit in the thighs by several arrows and fell to the ground wailing.

    Marquis Gaoting raised his horse, pointed at the only young knight who had never dismounted, and said with a smile: "Send your name, I will not kill unknown people!"

    The handsome young righteous man put his sword into its sheath, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Hezhou Dajian Hall's disciple, Liu Guanshan!"

    Marquis Gaoting raised his eyebrows, "What is your relationship with He Jianwu, the master of the Great Sword Hall?"

    The young swordsman with an elegant temperament replied neither humble nor arrogantly: "He is my mentor."

    Marquis Gaoting couldn't help but frowned. Then He Jiangwu was not only a sluggish figure in the world of Hezhou, but more importantly, I heard that He had blocked Cao Changqing of Western Chu from entering Tai'an City in the early years.  I took a copper fish bag. When His Majesty the Emperor led the army to the north as the Crown Prince, many of the disciples of Dajian Hall defected to the army to follow him. This was a trouble, but it was just a small trouble.  Marquis Gaoting twitched his lips, "I heard that your master is expected to become a first-class martial artist in the next few years. Then go and talk to He Jiaowu and give me a message when he breaks through, Marquis Gaoting.  I will definitely come to your door and decide whether to live or die with your master. We can also see whether the sword of your Great Sword Hall is stronger or the sword of my Gao family in Southern Xinjiang is longer."

    The young swordsman was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

    Marquis Gaoting raised his voice, "If you, the descendants of the Xu family, still have any backbone, get out of here!"
