Chapter 52: One Strike Defeats the First-Rate! [Seeking monthly ticket for follow-up reading]

"kill!"

Amidst shouts and the sound of horse hooves, a group of about twenty to thirty gangsters rushed into the riverbed and quickly surrounded the escort team.

These people all wore conical hats, looked ferocious, and had all kinds of weapons. Their clothes made them look more like bandits than knights.

"Let them go quickly!" the leading man shouted at the two yamen runners.

The two yamen runners secretly groaned in their hearts, but they could only draw their swords to defend themselves, shouting, "It's hard to disobey the official's orders!"

A burly man nearby glared at them and said, "If you don't let me go, I'll kill you!"

As he spoke, he raised the long sword in his hand.

"Wait!"

The leading man shouted quickly: "We are here to save people, not to kill people."

"If we have to kill, we must kill the running dogs of the East Factory!"

As the man spoke, he looked up at the hills in front of him, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

It was obvious that they had discovered the officers and soldiers lying in ambush on the river bank.

"Ha! You have quite a sharp eye!"

Seeing the man's actions, Cao Shaoqin put down the monocular in his hand and sneered, "Since he knew we were here, he still dared to come to rescue us. He is really brave!"

Jia Ting, who was standing next to him, was also looking through a telescope. He frowned slightly, turned around and said, "Boss, these people are just ordinary bandits. Zhou Huaian is not among them!"

"Don't worry, these are just small fry, the big fish haven't appeared yet."

Cao Shaoqin's face was calm. He waved his hand and said calmly, "Captain Jiang, have your men go down and meet these rebels."

Jiang Xuan frowned. He had already recognized the identities of the group of people below. They were none other than He Hu, Tie Zhu and other bandits whom they had met in Helan Mountain when they went to Jinglu Tunbao.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Moyan still asked these bandits to help rescue people.

This group of bandits is quite powerful. Cao Shaoqin's words clearly indicate that he is ready to send his men to their deaths.

But Jiang Xuan was prepared. Hearing this, he remained expressionless and bowed in agreement. He then turned to look at Xu Qinglong and instructed, "Go ahead, be careful."

"Don't worry, sir!"

Xu Longqing also recognized the identity of this group of Helan Mountain bandits. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't say much. After bowing, he led his team down the mountain.

"The running dogs from the East Factory are here!"

"It's the Royal Guards!"

"Kill, charge out!"

He Hu and others had just persuaded two yamen runners to rescue Yang Yuxuan's children. When they saw the Jinyiwei rushing down, they were not afraid at all. The two sides soon fought together, and all kinds of fighting and shouting rang out instantly.

Everyone kept a close eye on the battlefield situation.

I saw that this group of bandits were extremely skilled and were no match for ordinary bandits.

Especially the leaders, who were all top-notch masters. They were not afraid at all when facing the siege of several Jinyiwei, and were even able to handle it with ease. They brought Yang Yuxuan's children and quickly broke out of the siege, fighting and retreating.

"What a waste!"

Seeing this, Cao Shaoqin glanced at Jiang Xuan and snorted coldly, "We spend so much money every year to support you, but you can't even deal with a few bandits. This is really a disgrace to the court. You are worse than raising a dog!"

Jiang Xuan suppressed his murderous intent and calmly bowed his hands to plead guilty: "Forgive me, eunuch."

Cao Shaoqin said nothing more, waved his hand and said: "Cao Tian, ​​take people down to help."

"Yes, boss!"

Cao Tian, ​​who had a mole between his eyebrows, walked out, glanced at Jiang Xuan next to him, sneered in disdain, and then rushed down from another direction with a dozen black cavalrymen, blocking the retreat of He Hu and others.

With the help of the special bows and arrows in the hands of this group of black cavalry, the situation was quickly reversed, and He Hu and others suffered heavy casualties.

The law——

At this moment, another fast horse suddenly came galloping from the distance.

There was a figure on horseback wearing black clothes and holding a sword, with a light veil covering his face, so his features could not be seen clearly. However, his skills were extremely terrifying. With just one encounter, he rushed through the middle of a dozen black cavalrymen.

"Ding ding ding..."

The black-clothed figure drew his sword and forced Cao Tian back with one strike, killing four or five factory guards.

Then he moved his body and flew up directly from the horse's back, stepped on the stone wall beside him to gain leverage, and rushed up like a nimble eagle.

sigh~
The man in black quickly used the force to fly up the hill, and the long sword in his hand stabbed towards Cao Shaoqin like a poisonous snake.

"The big fish has finally appeared!" Cao Shaoqin sneered and stood still. Jia Ting and others beside him also sneered and said nothing, with no intention of stopping him.

Ding!
Just as the black-clothed man's long sword reached in front of Cao Shaoqin, Cao Shaoqin did not see how he would react. After a crisp sound of sword, the black-clothed man paused, and his pupils under the veil shrank slightly.

Cao Shaoqin actually caught her sharp sword with just two fingers.

He was slightly startled, but the man in black did not hesitate. With a little force, he pulled out a short sword from the long sword and stabbed it at Cao Shaoqin's face again.

"Mother and Child Sword?"

Cao Shaoqin raised his eyebrows, tilted his head back slightly to avoid the sword, then flicked the sword with his fingers, and an invisible force surged, instantly repelling the man in black.

Cao Shaoqin stared at the figure of the man in black, frowning slightly, as if he had discovered something was wrong.

"presumptuous!"

Seeing that the man in black was about to assassinate Cao Shaoqin again, Jia Ting and others could not help it and shouted and were about to take action.

But at this moment, another figure rushed out before them, blocking their way as if by teleportation, and shouted coldly: "You bold assassin, you dare to assassinate the eunuch, you are seeking death!"

choke!
With a loud shout, a long sword rose from the abyss like a hidden dragon, bringing with it a dazzling blade light, and slashed towards the masked man in black.

The man in black seemed to be frightened by the familiar voice. He was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he saw a flash of cold sword. The sword contained the power of a tiger descending from the mountain. The sound of the sword was like a tiger's roar, which made people feel terrified. In an instant, he had no intention of fighting back.

In this moment of distraction, the knife light was already in front of him.

The black-clothed man's face suddenly changed, but at the critical moment he could only raise his sword to block in front of him. Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound of weapon, and a huge force came along the sword. The black-clothed man felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining his veil red.

At the same time, she was also knocked away by the knife and fell into the riverbed under the cliff again.

"Is this the power of the sword?" Cao Shaoqin narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Xuan's figure. For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

There was also a hint of solemnity and fear.

Jiang Xuan didn't have time to think too much. After forcing the man in black to retreat with one move, he stepped on the ground, suddenly rose up, and leaped over ten meters in the air, chasing after the man in black.

"Dengdengdeng..."

The man in black vomited blood and fell to the riverbed. He staggered back more than ten steps before he could steady himself. Then she looked up at the slender figure falling above her head. Her handsome almond-shaped eyes under the veil were also filled with shock and solemnity.

Then came disappointment and anger.

She gritted her teeth, gripped her sword tightly, and rushed towards Jiang Xuan again.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

In an instant, the knife flashed and the sword energy swept, and the two fought again for several rounds, and their moves were extremely exquisite and strange.

But as the fight went on, the man in black felt a strange feeling in his heart, and his eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

Because she could clearly feel that although Jiang Xuan's subsequent moves seemed fierce, their power had long lost the domineering and fierceness of the first strike.

It seems like... he is intentionally holding back?
Just as she was filled with doubts, Jiang Xuan's voice suddenly rang out beside her ears as he used a move to close the distance between them: "Let's go."

The man in black trembled and dodged Jiang Xuan's sword by moving sideways. A corner of his fair face was revealed under his veil. After taking a closer look, who else could it be but Qiu Moyan?

"Do you know it's me?" Qiu Moyan whispered.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Jiang Xuan lowered his voice and said, "If you delay any longer, you won't be able to leave."

Qiu Moyan frowned. Although he didn't understand why Jiang Xuan held back, he saw that the sounds of fighting around him were getting quieter and quieter. It was obvious that He Hu and the others could no longer hold on.

If they continue to fight, they will all die here.

"Ding!"

She looked at Jiang Xuan deeply, then used the force of the last blow to rebound and retreated. Then she quickly used her lightness skills and retreated to the side of an ownerless warhorse after a few jumps. She flew onto the horse's back, flicked the whip, and chased in the direction of He Hu and others' retreat.

Jiang Xuanjing stood still and did not pursue.

Wow…

At this time, Xu Longqing, Cao Tian and others also brought people to chase after them.

Seeing Jiang Xuan standing still, Cao Tian was furious: "How dare you! Jiang Xuan, how dare you let Zhou Huaian escape? What crime should you be punished for?!"

Jiang Xuan just glanced at him coldly without saying a word. He turned around and used his strength to perform the Wind Chasing Step. He flew up the hill in a few flashes and came in front of Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin and the others all had cold expressions and stared at him coldly.

"Master Jiang, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
