Chapter 26 The Yellow Bird Behind

Qi Xuansu didn’t know much about the game between the Taoist sect, the imperial court, the “inn”, the Qingping Society, the Eight Tribes, the Baiyutang and other forces. He only knew one thing, that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. He even gave up the idea of ​​returning to the Qianhu Suo and prepared to leave Xi Gobi directly.

As a result, when Qi Xuansu was about to leave Xi Gobi, he encountered a team of more than ten people in black.

Qi Xuansu did not expect that the black-clothed people had blocked this place. His attention was all on the Taoist people driving the flying boat. He was not on guard against the black-clothed people at all. As a result, he was ambushed by the black-clothed people with fire guns and was hit twice on the spot.

If these fire guns only used ordinary armor-piercing projectiles instead of the “Dragon Eye” series, Qi Xuansu would have been seriously injured on the spot if he had not had the supernatural powers derived from flesh and blood.

But even so, Qi Xuansu was still suffocated, because the projectiles fired by the rifled musket were fired in a high-speed rotation, and were attached with armor-breaking talismans, which directly broke through his "body-protecting true qi". Along with the projectiles, there was also a turbulent airflow entering his body, which would cause a cross-shaped or star-shaped explosion. Although Qi Xuansu's physique withstood the impact of this airflow, he also felt the pressure it brought.

It must be said that these men in black are by no means comparable to local defenders. They should be elite border troops who have experienced hundreds of battles. In terms of coordinated operations, their firearms are also far superior to the Qingluan Guards.

Qi Xuansu hid behind a huge rock without hesitation.

This group of men in black were actually equipped with a thunder gun, which was equipped with five gun barrels. They could rotate the gun plate and fire five gun barrels in sequence, firing eighteen bullets in one breath.

Only the sound of fire guns could be heard continuously, hitting the rock, stirring up countless dust, and breaking stones kept falling, but in the blink of an eye, the rock was like a hornet's nest.

Faced with this situation, Qi Xuansu did not intend to sit and wait for death. He first squeezed out the two bullets shot into his body with his muscles, healed the wound, and then took out his "Shenlong Hand Gun".

In the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, the use of firearms also accounted for a considerable proportion. In terms of the use of fire guns, Qi Xuansu was not inferior to these men in black, and he had an advantage that these men in black could not match. He could survive one shot, two shots, three shots, or even four shots, but these men in black would die as long as they were hit.

In fact, Qi Xuansu could also solve the problem with a "Phoenix Eye Yi San", but considering that he only had two "Phoenix Eye Yi San" left, he was reluctant to do so.

The next moment, Qi Xuansu stood up and made an accurate judgment based on the direction of the sound of the fire gun. He instantly shot the "Thunder Gun" and smashed the expensive fire gun that cost more than 3,000 Taiping coins into pieces. Then he jumped out. Because he was still wearing a horse armor on his legs, he seemed to shrink the ground into an inch and instantly came to the front of the team of black-clothed men.

The black-clothed men holding fire guns were not panicked. While the front row of fire gun soldiers retreated quickly, the black-clothed men holding swords and shields pushed forward. If Qi Xuansu, who was only at the Kunlun stage, faced these well-trained black-clothed men, he would probably find it very difficult. However, Qi Xuansu was now at the Return to the True Stage.

He threw the "Dragon Hand Gun" weighing ten kilograms directly, hitting the face of a black-clothed man who was still trying to raise the gun to shoot while retreating, not only making his face bloom, but also knocking him unconscious. If it weren't for the protection of the helmet, it would not be impossible for the brain to burst.

This is the advantage and disadvantage of the "Shenlong Hand Gun". It is very difficult for ordinary people to lift the weight of ten kilograms, not to mention stable shooting. However, for people like Qi Xuansu, the weight is not a problem. On the contrary, it can be used as a large hidden weapon, comparable to a meteor hammer.

Qi Xuansu, with his hands free, let the black-clothed man's steel knife fall on him. He punched out with both fists. Although he failed to break the shield, he only left two fist marks and deformed it. However, the wrist of the black-clothed man holding the shield could not withstand such force and broke directly. The two black-clothed men holding shields couldn't help screaming, and they could no longer hold the shields in their hands, staggering back.

Qi Xuansu took advantage of the situation to knock the two away, like a tiger into a flock of sheep. In a blink of an eye, several people broke their tendons and bones and fell to the ground.

Without the sword and shield soldiers, the remaining fire gun soldiers had no problem with the fire guns and fire sticks in their hands at this distance.

One man just raised his musket and was about to shoot, but Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand and bent the muzzle, causing it to explode, and half of his face was covered in blood.

The other man just raised his musket and felt a strong force coming. The muzzle involuntarily changed from horizontal to upward, and his musket also shot into the sky. Then he was kicked in the chest, and the whole person flew backwards like a cloud, and vomited blood after landing.

Two musket soldiers took out their daggers and stabbed Qi Xuansu.

In close combat, long guns are very inconvenient. Although hand guns are convenient, ordinary black-clothed men will not be equipped with hand guns. They are only equipped by generals. For example, the "Shenlong musket" can only be equipped by the first-level guerrillas of the court or the first-level fourth-grade priests of the Taoist sect. Of course, those bought from the black market or Tianji Hall are counted separately.

However, the close combat strength of the fire gun soldiers is not as good as that of the sword and shield soldiers, so how can they compare with Qi Xuansu? Qi Xuansu just slapped the two men with two slaps.

The others were shocked by Qi Xuansu's powerful fighting power and dared not move for a while.

Qi Xuansu picked up his "Shenlong Hand Gun" and asked: "Why are you attacking me?"

A man in black who seemed to be the leader replied: "Chen Meng, the sentry officer of the Xizhou border army, under the military order of the Duhufu, led his troops to blockade the front line of Cuowenbu and search for all members of the secret association."

Qi Xuansu said coldly: "Is this how you hunt? Beat people to death first? If I am a member of the secret society, that's it. If I am not a member of the secret society, wouldn't my death be in vain?"

The man in black said: "With your cultivation, we can only stop you by firing cannons. And I don't think fire cannons can kill you. Please obey the military orders of the Protectorate and accept the interrogation of the Protectorate. There will be no good outcome if you go against the imperial court.”

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Let me remind you, your lives are in my hands."

"I would also like to remind you." Chen Meng was a bit tough, "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers are on the shore of the land. If you go against the Protectorate and the imperial court, you will not end well. If you, your Excellency, If you are not a member of a secret society, you can be inspected and interrogated. We will not let any bad person go, but we will not wrongly accuse any good person. "

Qi Xuansu sneered and was about to speak when the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.

At the end of the line of sight, towards the horizon, a group of cavalry was rushing towards this side.

This is a common method used by men in black. They use gunmen and infantry to guard a certain location and form a stronghold, and then send out rangers to patrol and wander between various strongholds, relying on their high mobility to carry out rapid reinforcements.

The sound of the previous fierce fight had already alerted the group of supporting rangers.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the feeling of shaking on the ground became more and more obvious.

The pressure brought by the man in black is completely different from that of Qingluan Guard.

The Qingluan Guards are just the emperor's eyes and ears, while the men in black are the emperor's swords, symbolizing the majesty of the court.

Qi Xuansu did not pay attention to the rangers who would take some time to arrive here, but looked up and down at the sentry in front of him.

He missed his original Taoist identity a little. As long as he had that layer of skin, even if a chief soldier injured him, he would still have to give an explanation in terms of face. But without that layer of skin, a small sentry officer would dare to embarrass him. he. But he was really afraid, or he didn't dare to do anything because of fear, so he didn't dare to really kill him, otherwise the sentry officer would be dead.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Let me go, it is convenient for others and for myself."

The sentry didn't speak, just shook his head.

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment and chose to put down the "Dragon Gun" in his hand.

The sentry officer's face softened a little, thinking that Qi Xuansu had surrendered, and said in a deep voice: "Very good."

Qi Xuansu looked at him deeply: "I am just an ordinary Jianghu person. I hope you can keep your word. If you are sure that I am not a member of the secret society, then let me go."
