Chapter 647 Catch them all in one fell swoop
On the other hand, after Chai Xin left Xingzilin, Qiao Feng's life experience was almost the same as in the original novel, and was uncovered by Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing and others, who also gave a general understanding of the great battle outside Yanmen Pass thirty years ago.
However, since Chai Xin had exposed the affair between Bai Shijing and Kang Min in advance, and even pointed out that the two of them had teamed up to harm Ma Dayuan, the members of the Beggar Gang had more trust and reluctance towards Qiao Feng than in the original novel.
But Qiao Feng had been a Han Chinese for thirty years, and one night he learned that he was actually a Liao Chinese. He was so upset that he gave up his position as the leader of the Beggars' Sect without hesitation, left behind his green jade dog-beating stick, and disappeared, even ignoring his new sworn brother Duan Yu.
Not long after Qiao Feng left, Bai Shijing and Quan Guanqing began to push for the appointment of a new gang leader. However, just as the matter began, they heard the sound of horse hooves approaching quickly.
After a quick inquiry, a few Beggar Gang disciples found out that it was the banner of Jinqing Yipintang.
The appointment that Qiao Feng mentioned earlier in Songhe Tower was actually made with Yipintang. When the Beggar Gang was in trouble, he did not forget to ask Captain Jiang to send someone to postpone the appointment.
However, at this moment, the other party had ill intentions. In order to cover up the fact that the gang was leaderless, the beggars temporarily elected the most respected Elder Xu to take charge of the situation.
Just as the Beggars' Sect had finished their discussion, they heard the sound of drums and trumpets, followed by eight Jinqing warriors with long braids.
When Elder Xu saw the behavior of these eight people, he immediately knew that they were all people with high martial arts skills.
After the eight warriors entered the forest, they immediately stood to the left and right. Then a burly man on horseback came slowly towards them. It was Helian Tieshu.
This guy was almost scared out of his wits by Chai Xin before, but now he has become full of energy and arrogant again.
He was wearing a bright red brocade robe and a top hat with a peacock feather. He was about thirty-four or thirty-five years old, with a hooked nose, a moustache, and was very tall with a huge nose. Nurhai followed closely behind him.
As soon as Nurhaifang entered the forest, he shouted condescendingly: "The general of Jinqing Kingdom has arrived. The leader of the Beggars' Sect comes forward to greet him."
The voice was full of sarcasm and contempt.
Elder Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Our leader is not here, so I am here to take charge of the affairs of the gang. All the brothers of the Beggars' Gang are from the underworld. If General Jin Qing wants to meet you as a guest, we are not worthy of your attention. Please go and pay a visit to the princes and military officials of the Song Dynasty. If you want to meet us as a fellow martial artist, then you are a guest from afar, so please dismount and treat us as host and guest."
These few words are neither arrogant nor humble. They do not offend the other party and also take one's own status into consideration. It is true that experience still makes the most sense.
Nurhai sneered and said, "Since your leader is not here, my general cannot greet you."
Then he glanced at the green jade stick still stuck in the ground, knowing that it was an important item of the Beggars' Sect, and said casually: "Well, this stick is crystal green, it can be used to make a broom handle, which is not bad."
As he said this, he stretched out his arm and swung the horsewhip, heading towards the dog-beating stick.
This is something that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Beggars' Sect. It is held in turn by the leaders of the southern and northern factions, and is replaced every three years. How can we allow outsiders to get involved?
Seeing this, the beggars immediately shouted in unison: "Get lost!"
Some people also shouted: "You are looking for death!"
Some people even shouted "Dog Tartar!"
Just as the tip of his whip was about to wrap around the dog-beating stick, suddenly a figure flashed and a man leaped over from the side, blocking in front of the dog-beating stick, stretching out his arm and letting the whip wrap around his arm.
He bent his arm, and the big-nosed man could no longer stay in the saddle, so he jumped up and stood on the ground.
The two men exerted their strength at the same time, and with a "snap" sound, the horsewhip broke into two pieces. The man picked up the dog-beating stick and retreated without saying a word.
The movements were smooth and fluid, showing how high his martial arts skills were.
The members of the Beggars' Sect were immediately excited because he was the elder who taught the sect martial arts.
To be able to serve as a martial arts elder, he must be very skilled in martial arts. It can be said that looking at the entire Beggars' Sect, he is second only to the leader.
Although Nurhai was frustrated, he did not show any embarrassment on his face. He said contemptuously: "Beggars are really stingy. They are reluctant to give even a stick to others."
Elder Xu didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he said bluntly, "Why did you guys from Jinqing make an appointment with our gang?"
Nurhai squinted his eyes and said, "My general heard that the Beggars' Sect has two unique skills, one is the Cat Beating Stick Method, and the other is the Eighteen Snake Subduing Palms. I want to see them."
When the beggars heard this, they became furious.
This guy deliberately called the Dog Beating Stick Technique the Cat Beating Stick Technique and the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms the Snake Subduing Eighteen Palms, which was obviously a deliberate insult. Naturally, the scolding became more intense.
Amid the beggars' shouting and cursing, Elder Xu, the Transmission Elder, and the others were secretly worried: "The Dog Beating Stick Technique and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms have always been used by the leader. These people know the names of these two unique skills, but they still come to challenge without fear. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them."
Elder Xu thought for a moment and said, "The Cat Beating Stick Technique and the Eighteen Snake Subduing Palms were created to deal with stove cats and scabby snakes. Since you want to see them, do you want to learn to be a cat or a snake?"
Elder Wu laughed and said, "The other party is a dragon, so we subdue the dragon. The other party is a snake, so beggars are good at catching snakes."
Nurhai lost both the fight of arms and the fight of words. Even though he was very thick-skinned, he was speechless for a moment.
After a few breaths of silence, he continued, "Elder Xu, our general wants to see the Dog Beating Stick Technique and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. If you have treasures, please offer them. If you really don't know how to do it, we don't have the time to accompany you. We will take our leave now."
Elder Xu was ridiculed by him again and again. Even a clay man would get angry. What was more important was not to bring down the reputation of the Beggars' Sect. He sneered and said, "The masters of your country's First-Class Hall are boasting about their first-class martial arts, but they have never shown any of their moves. If you want to see the Dog Beating Stick Technique and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, I'm afraid you are not qualified enough."
Nurhai raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does it take to be worthy of this?"
Elder Xu said calmly: "At least we useless beggars must be defeated first, and then the leader of the Beggars' Sect will come out..."
Just as he said this, he suddenly coughed loudly, and then his eyes felt extremely painful and he couldn't open them, and tears immediately burst out.
He was greatly surprised, knowing that he might have been ambushed, and without hesitation he jumped up, holding his breath, and kicked three times in the direction where he thought his opponent was.
Although Nurhai had a plan in place, he did not expect that this old man with white hair and beard could start fighting as soon as he said so, and his skills were so agile.
He tried to dodge hastily, but he could only barely avoid the vital part of his chest. His shoulder was still kicked. His whole body trembled twice, and he took advantage of the momentum to quickly leap back.
Elder Xu listened to the sound and determined the location. He planned to jump up a second time and try again. However, when he was in mid-air, his hands and feet became numb and he was completely out of control and fell heavily to the ground.
Everyone in the Beggars' Sect felt uncomfortable and shouted, "Oh no! The Tartars are playing dirty tricks!"
"What's in your eyes?"
"I can't open my eyes!"
Everyone felt a stinging pain in their eyes and tears flowed unconsciously.
The same is true for Wang Yuyan, A'zhu, A'Bi, Bao Bu Tong and Feng Bo'e.
It turned out that as soon as the people of Jinqing Yipintang entered the forest, they had already begun to spread the colorless and odorless "Sad and Soft Breeze". This poison was made by collecting poisons from the Happy Valley of the Great Snow Mountain in Jinqing Longxing.
It is usually stored in a bottle, and when it is used, the antidote will have already been stuffed into the person's nose.
Just pull out the cork and the poisonous water will turn into steam and come out like a breeze blowing on your body. No matter how clever you are, you won't be able to detect it.
By the time I felt a stinging pain in my eyes, the poison had already rushed into my head.
After being poisoned, tears fall like rain, which is called "sorrow", the whole body cannot move, which is called "numbness", and the poison gas is colorless and odorless, which is called "clear breeze".
But all that could be heard was endless screams and curses, and people in the field fell to the ground one after another.
Only Duan Yu had taken the Manggu Zhuha, which made him immune to all poisons. He was unaware of the "sad and soft breeze" he inhaled into his nose. But when he saw the beggars, Wang Yuyan and others all looked embarrassed, he did not understand what was going on for a moment and felt a little frightened.
Nurhai shouted loudly and ordered the warriors to tie up the beggars, but he himself approached Wang Yuyan and reached out to grab her wrist. He had actually noticed this extraordinary beauty a long time ago.
Duan Yu immediately shouted, "What are you doing?"
In a hurry, he stretched out his right index finger quickly, and a stream of true energy shot out from his fingertips with a hissing sound. It was the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" of the Dali Duan family.
Nurhai didn't know how powerful he was and ignored him, still trying to grab Wang Yuyan's wrist. Suddenly, there was a snap, and his right arm bone inexplicably broke into two, and immediately fell limply, and he stopped with a scream.
Duan Yu hurriedly leaned over and hugged Wang Yuyan's slender waist, performing the "Lingbo Weibu" technique. In an instant, he took three steps sideways and two steps horizontally, and rushed out of the crowd.
Immediately, three skilled warriors from the Jin Qing army came on horseback to chase after them. In a panic, Duan Yu once again pointed his finger and shot down a warrior. Then he placed Wang Yuyan horizontally on the saddle, then he also jumped on his horse and fled away.
Jin Qing and many other warriors had already occupied the key positions around the apricot forest. Suddenly, they saw a man riding a horse and rushing out. They all shot arrows at him. Fortunately, there were dense trees around, and more than ten wolf-fang feather arrows were nailed to the apricot trees. Fortunately, Duan Yu was not hit.
He rode his horse at full speed and disappeared in a moment.
"One ran away!"
Several of Jin Qing's warriors immediately shouted and rode their horses to chase after him.
Helian Tieshu waved his hand and shouted: "Don't chase the desperate enemy, capture these beggars first!"
At this moment, a figure suddenly leaped out from the forest, like an eagle soaring into the sky, and headed straight for Helian Tieshu.
Helian Tieshu was so happy that he felt the trip was a great success that he was not prepared at all.
In fact, given the intruder's martial arts, even if he was prepared, it was impossible for him to dodge or block it.
"boom!"
With just one palm, he was thrown off the horse and fainted in mid-air. After landing on the ground, he was completely unconscious.
At this moment, everyone in Jinqing Yipintang, who had been full of vigor and vitality, was suddenly shocked and urged their horses or used their lightness skills to rush forward together.
"It's a good thing you came. It saved me a lot of trouble!"
The man let out a clear whistle, and his figure was as straight as a ghost. He lightly tapped Helian Tieshu's horse's back and moved sideways more than ten feet, shooting down several knights who were rushing towards him in the process.
"It's you!"
Nurhai held his broken arm with one hand and pointed with his other hand at the figure of the young man who was still dashing left and right in mid-air, beating down the warriors of Yipintang as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. His eyes were full of fear.
The person who came was none other than Chai Xin who had returned!
Yang Guo asked him where to find the people from Yipintang, but he didn't know that he was familiar with the original work and knew these people's plans clearly, so there was no need to look for them at all.
Before charging into the forest, he had already placed Yang Guo outside to prevent him from feeling any burden.
"You are such sinister and cunning people. You really come here to harm others. I, Chai Xin, will not tolerate you!"
Chai Xin shouted angrily with great righteousness, and in an instant he was in front of Nurhai, and knocked him out with a casual slap.
The blind and weak beggars, as well as Ah Zhu, Ah Bi and others, suddenly showed joy in their fear, and at the same time they were secretly grateful.
Especially the people in the Beggar Gang, they secretly thought that Hero Chai really lived up to his name as even though he had conflicts with them, he still stood up to save them at the critical moment.
Isn't this style of behavior exactly the same as that of Qiao Feng?
Recalling how they had previously exposed Qiao Feng's background and forced him to give up his position, many members of the Beggars' Sect showed signs of guilt on their faces.
"Thank you, Master Chai, for saving us. From now on, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Thank you, Master Chai, for saving my life!"
Many elders and disciples of the Beggars' Sect closed their eyes and thanked loudly.
"No need to thank me, I'm just doing my job, not trying to save you!" Chai Xin responded coldly.
But his words "do what you should do" made everyone admire him even more. With such character, he is worthy of the title of a hero.
"My second brother will no longer have anything to do with the Beggars' Sect, so please stop bothering him! As for Ma Dayuan's death, whether you believe it or not, it was a conspiracy between Bai Shijing and Kang Min. If anyone dares to bother my second brother again, I will kill him wherever he goes!"
When Chai Xin finished saying these words, his voice gradually faded away, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves.
The voices of the surrounding Jinqing warriors also disappeared. Everyone wanted to take a look at the situation, but unfortunately the effect of the Beisu Qingfeng medicine had not yet worn off and they still could not open their eyes.
The sad and cold wind can be said to be the most terrible poison in the world. Without an antidote, even if they have profound skills, it will be difficult to recover within a few hours.
Little did they know that Chai Xin had knocked out all of Jin Qing's warriors, and took away more than a dozen of them with the highest internal strength - including Helian Tieshu and Nurhai.
Although the martial arts of these dozen people are not as good as the four evil men, they are generally among the second-rate in the martial arts world, and there are a few who are close to the first-rate.
The combined skills of these people can at least help Yang Guo improve his skills to the level of twenty-five or twenty-six years. He can be among the top second-rate masters and can compete with many first-rate masters.
Chai Xin tied up the dozen or so people from Yipintang with ropes that he had prepared long ago, and then tied them to batches of horses and took them away.
He picked up Yang Guo outside the forest, then spurred his horse and whipped it, and soon they had galloped several miles.
"Guo'er, take these people with you to the place I arranged for you and devour all their power. I'm a little worried about your uncle's safety, so I want to catch up and take a look."
