Hanging on his side is a special nine-foot sword with a blade length of four feet and a handle of five feet. This sword was forged by the emperor himself and is two feet longer than the standard seven-foot sword. Using hundreds of refined steel and secret casting techniques, the entire Southern Han Dynasty only had two.
It is said that Pan Chongche personally asked the emperor for the horse-cutting sword in his hand, so that it could be used as a horse weapon for Qu Quji. Pan Chongche said that Qu Quji was born with divine power and had an excellent talent for the art of swordsmanship.
The weapons used in the past were thick-backed knives passed down from our ancestors. Because of this inheritance, many people in the Qu family have been questioned. Of course, it is also for this reason that Qu Quji is somewhat aloof among the Qu family.
Many people questioned how this thick-backed sword came into the hands of Qu Quji. Not to mention the direct descendants of the Qu family, there were also many descendants of concubines. This thick-backed sword was the weapon that accompanied King Jiaozhou from Jiaozhou to King Xing's Mansion.
As the founding king of the Southern Han Dynasty with a different surname, Quhao, the king of Jiaozhou, was well known for his aloofness. He followed the great ancestor Liu Yan in various battles and won hereditary favors for the Qu family. And this thick-backed sword has also become a symbol of King Jiaozhou. If King Jiaozhou hadn't handed it over to Qu Quji before he died, I'm afraid Qu Quji would have been quartered by the Qu family's children.
Qu Quji has become one of the top ten elites of the Qu family, which is naturally enviable to outsiders, but to many of the Qu family's children, they feel aggrieved and helpless. Even though Qu Quji originally followed Qu Ju, many of his disciples were deeply hostile to Qu Quji.
However, since Qu Quji joined the emperor, gained the emperor's appreciation and entered the Dongguan Military Academy, and personally trained him for several months, and was given an important position, this sword can truly belong to Qu Quji.
But now this thick-backed sword is always carried on his waist. The horse-cutting sword has become Qu Quji's main weapon. Even if Qu Quji keeps practicing his sword skills, he rarely uses it because there are many tooth soldiers around him. arrive.
There are similarities between the thick-backed sword and Pan Chongche's tyrant sword. They are both short-weapon swords. Qu Quji failed to get the special skills taught by King Jiaozhou, but unexpectedly he got close to Pan Chongche.
The Qujia's "Mu Nao Dao Technique" that Qu Quji studied was limited to a few basic moves. It wasn't until he temporarily took over Suizhou that King Quye of Jiaozhou generously ordered someone to send him a complete set of sword manuals. As a musician, this is a supreme honor.
Naturally, Qu Ye, in his special capacity, took the initiative to let Qu Quji enter the Qu family's family tree. This not only represented the Qu family's meaning, but also showed that Qu Qu Ji was truly recognized by the Qu family.
Although it is also a kind of psychological comfort for Qu Quji, anyone can see the meaning. When the Qu family is gradually declining, they hope to retain their glory through Qu Quji. But these superficial things are no longer what Qu Quji cares about and cares about.
Obtaining the complete "Mu Nao Knife Technique" was once the highest goal in life for Qu Quji. But after actually getting it, this kind of thinking has become much calmer as it continues to grow.
Pan Chongche, who was also good at swordsmanship, undoubtedly stood at the pinnacle of his current research on swordsmanship. After constantly studying with Pan Chongche, Pan Chongche naturally would not covet this sword technique, but instead gave Qu Quji countless pointers.
Qu Quji and Pan Chongche undoubtedly benefited a lot from being together. Pan Chongche himself would also have some insights. After all, the set of swordsmanship left by King Quhao of Jiaozhou is not only the understanding of the swordsmanship by the ancestors of the Qu family of Jiaozhou, but also the swordsmanship that Qu Hao himself perfected after following Liu Yan.
Pan Chongche told Qu Quji without any taboo about the strengths and advantages of this set of sword techniques, nor did he hide the insights he gained. Therefore, not only did Qu Quji completely succeed in learning, but he also solved many problems that Qu Quji encountered, and naturally he also added some of his own ideas.
Now Qu Quji is eager to give it a try.
Taking advantage of the early morning light, Qu Ququji rode his horse into Huaqiao Pu. Now that we were approaching Hengzhou City, we should be more careful, but Qu Quji was even more fearless. The four cavalry marching forward were followed by the eight cavalry. These were the bodyguards guarding Qu Quji. They were all special forces trained by the Dongguan Military Academy.
These twelve knights are not only good at martial arts, but also good at a set of combined attack techniques and close duels, and they have also received strict training in the use of muskets.
Their duty is to protect Qu Quji, and they can be regarded as Qu Quji's personal bodyguards and tooth soldiers. However, Qu Quji was not only the governor of Suizhou, but also the training envoy of Suizhou regiment personally appointed by Emperor Liu Jixing. The future future of these twelve people is obviously limitless.
I rode slowly towards this small town, where the morning market had just started. The dirt streets were lined with stalls from farmers near Huaqiaopu.
It's nothing more than some coarse cloth, fruits and vegetables, iron hoes, three-headed plows, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and even shrimps and river fish, all of which are produced in small places in the countryside. Although they are inconspicuous, they are all the objects of transactions here.
There are even some stalls selling whole grain breakfast and tofu and rice cakes, exuding the tempting original aroma of the food.
There are bargains everywhere, and there are voices one after another. It seems that there is a lot of noise here.
The town is not big, and the streets are not too long. Although it is noisy and dizzying, it still provides a picture of living and working in peace and contentment.
Qu Quji looked around, and there seemed to be no trace of war at all.
Although Huaqiaopu is a small town, it is the main thoroughfare of Quanxi County. It is hard to imagine that in Hengzhou, which is dozens of miles away, an expedition is taking place at this moment, but there is still nothing happening here.
An old farmer carrying fresh vegetables, with an impressive old wrinkle on his face and a pair of yellow old eyes, was looking around to find a place to stay.
Seeing the horse team approaching, he hurriedly stepped out of the way while carrying the vegetables while shaking his body.
An ox cart loaded with fresh straw seemed to have been collected early and rushed over beside the cavalry. The driver of the bullock cart had a simple and honest look on his face, as if he was afraid that he would miss something if he drove the cart. He whipped his whip without even looking at the people riding the horses, causing passers-by to give way.
Because although this is a rescue operation, for the Suizhou army, it is a temporary acceptance operation. What's more, when they came across the border to support Chu, no one was equipped with standard weapons. Although they were all dressed in convenient earth-green outfits, none of them were wearing armor.
Although speed is the key to action, Qu Quji also understands that haste makes waste. I don’t know what Pan Chongche’s situation is now. Hengzhou City cannot be defended by hundreds of people. According to Qu Qujiji's prediction, Pan Chongche's skills should be fine.
The secret party in Hengzhou City still has a certain foundation. As one of the decision-makers of this operation, Qu Quji did not have the right to control the secret party, but he did not have little contact with it. Knowing that they will definitely mobilize the people in Hengzhou City, that is the most practical power.
Now Qu Quji's status is different, and there are many more tooth soldiers and guards around him. After all, when he first entered Suizhou, Qu Quji was assassinated by the twelve zodiac animals. This incident let the emperor know that the emperor naturally paid special attention to Qu Quji's safety.
