No wonder everyone is surprised.
Although it seems that these Xixia people are only a few hundred, not too many.
But you must know that these are all warriors of Xixia Yipintang, and all of them have martial arts skills.
Many of them are masters recruited by the Xixia Kingdom with huge sums of money, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary armies.
This is a group of martial arts masters who have been trained by the military, and they are enough to compete with an army of ten thousand people on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan and Qiao Feng captured the flag and forced them all to surrender.
This also makes it clearer that the martial arts skills of the two men are beyond everyone's imagination.
What's even more amazing is that after this battle, the dead bodies in the apricot forest saw the fierce battle, but neither Zhao Mengyuan nor Qiao Feng seemed to be injured.
Although both of their clothes were already stained with blood, they were actually the blood of their enemies.
This also reflects the strength of the two of them, and they are still able to face such a situation with ease.
After this common battle, Zhao Mingyuan and Qiao Feng also established a common friendship, and both sides cherished each other.
Zhao Mingyuan praised Qiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms for being powerful, violent and invincible, and worthy of being the best palm technique in the world.
Qiao Feng also said that Zhao Mingyuan's sword skills were exquisite and his sword energy was like a rainbow. Even the Six Meridians Divine Sword from Tianlong Temple might not be able to match it. It would not be an exaggeration to call him the best sword in the world.
In fact, seeing Qiao Feng's majestic and invincible appearance in battle, Zhao Mingyuan also thought to himself.
Because, he realized that although his physical strength was definitely superior to Qiao Feng, if they really fought and the two fought to the death, the winner might not be him.
Zhao Mingyuan saw that Qiao Feng's moves against the enemy were all just right, and he actually achieved an incomparable performance with a strength slightly inferior to his own.
This is not only because of Qiao Feng's supreme talent, but also his intuition honed through hundreds of battles.
Speaking of which, Zhao Mingyuan has always been very hands-on in his journey.
However, as his martial arts has become stronger and stronger, Zhao Mingyuan has become less active in recent years. And most of them are crushing battles, and there are really not many situations where the weak fights the strong.
Compared with an invincible person of the same level like Qiao Feng who is accustomed to defeating the strong with fewer enemies, it is indeed difficult to win with the same strength.
However, after a second thought, Zhao Mingyuan also gave up his intention.
Being invincible at the same level is certainly powerful, but wouldn't it be better to be crushed by strength?
Being invincible at the same level and even killing enemies across levels is almost a standard feature for the protagonist.
But that's mostly because it's difficult to improve your strength to another level, so you can only hone your current level carefully.
However, Zhao Mingyuan has a clear path to improvement. If he practices step by step, he can reach a higher level of strength.
Compared with being invincible at the same level, taking one's strength to a higher level is a more suitable path for Zhao Mingyuan.
With this thought, Zhao Mingyuan stopped worrying about this matter. Let the talented protagonists like them continue to be invincible at the same level. It is better for people like me to find ways to upgrade.
Soon, everyone in the Beggar Clan found the antidote to the "Sorrowful Breeze" from the Xixia people.
An unpleasant smell spread out, and the poisoned person soon became able to move freely.
Zhao Mingyuan also specially hid a copy of the "Sorrowful Breeze" poison and antidote, preparing to go back and study it.
After all, this is indeed a strange medicine.
Zhao Mingyuan has also been studying medical skills for many years. He cannot be called a miracle doctor, but he can proudly be called an old Chinese doctor.
With this great victory, how to deal with these captured Xixia people became a problem.
Kill it directly? Something seems wrong.
After all, Helian Tieshu was not only Xixia's general who conquered the east, he was also the envoy to the Song Dynasty, and he entered the Song Dynasty legitimately.
Therefore, if all the Xixia envoys died at the hands of the Beggar Gang, the impact would definitely be huge.
There is nothing trivial in diplomacy, not to mention that this is definitely not a trivial matter in the first place. This is a force comparable to that of an army of ten thousand people, and how to deal with it must not be underestimated.
If they were all killed, the diplomatic relations between the Song Dynasty and Xixia would inevitably lead to renewed disputes, and even the resumption of war would not be impossible.
Although the two countries were often at war, Xixia had also coveted the Song Dynasty for a long time. However, once the war breaks out again, it is unknown how many people will suffer as a result.
The Beggar Clan cannot afford such a responsibility.
Besides, how could a gang like the Beggar Clan, with hundreds of thousands of people in it, really not be under the control of the Song Dynasty at all?
How is this possible?
In terms of internal management, there was no government that was better than the Song Dynasty. Especially the warriors were stared at.
After all, it was Zhao Kuangyin who used Taizu's long fist to fight all over the country and laid this foundation. How could his descendants despise the people in the world?
In fact, maybe someone from the Song Dynasty was secretly fueling the series of actions against Qiao Feng today.
After all, they absolutely did not want to see a Khitan controlling such a powerful force in the Song Dynasty.
No, before Qiao Feng and the others could discuss a countermeasure, officials from the Song Dynasty came to their door.
Looking at the sultry big nose on his face, Zhao Mingyuan finally understood why he was able to persuade Helian Tieshu to surrender. It turned out that he had planned it for a long time.
Looking at Duan Yanqing, Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan beside the Song Dynasty official, Zhao Mingyuan finally understood why the Beggar Clan disciples did not see a few of them when they counted the corpses and prisoners.
Zhao Mingyuan had previously thought that they had seen how powerful Zhao Mingyuan and Qiao Feng were and knew how powerful they were, so they ran away.
Now that I think about it, half and half.
Seeing how powerful the two of them were, Duan Yanqing was indeed not prepared to step forward and fight for his life.
After all, he came to Xixia Yipin Hall to make offerings to seek benefits. I am just living here temporarily, but I am not here to work for the Xixia people.
Seeing such a powerful enemy, how could Duan Yanqing really be willing to rush forward and kill him? It's just a show.
Only a weak-minded person like the Crocodile God of the South China Sea wants to step forward and fight to avenge Yun Zhonghe.
However, this was stopped by Duan Yanqing.
After all, with such a useful tool, Duan Yanqing didn't want the South China Sea Crocodile God to die here like Yun Zhonghe.
So, the three of them just put on a show and put on a show. Then he quietly slipped away while the two sides were fighting fiercely.
After all, Duan Yanqing, who belongs to Xixia, has the highest martial arts skills and knows the situation best. He knew that although there were many warriors in Xixia Yipintang, they could never defeat Zhao Mingyuan and Qiao Feng.
It is only possible to kill the two of them unless their internal strength is exhausted. However, as long as the two of them don't fight to the death, they can leave immediately after the Beggar Clan disciples evacuate. So the Xixia side will ultimately lose but never win.
Unfortunately, their escape was discovered by Big Nose, who was keeping an eye on the situation behind them.
Big Nose did not stop them, but instead asked them to find officials from Honglu Temple of the Song Dynasty, who were the officials and diplomats of the Song Dynasty who received the Xixia delegation.
In fact, those officials had been following the Xixia mission.
However, everyone in Xixia Huishan rushed to the apricot forest and worked hard all the way. The civil servant of Honglu Temple of the Song Dynasty did not know how to ride a horse, so he had to sit in a carriage and move forward slowly, and then he was pulled behind.
Big nose asked Duan Yanqing and his entourage to call the officials of the Song Dynasty to come as a back-up. Unexpectedly, it actually worked.
Hearing that the Xixia envoy General Helian and his party were besieged by a group of beggars from the Song Dynasty, the officials of the Song Dynasty were immediately furious. Under the guidance of Duan Yanqing and others, they quickly came to the Apricot Grove.
The officials of the Song Dynasty asked Helian Tieshu if he was surprised with a pleasant look on his face, and other gestures of greetings and greetings made Helian Tieshu feel at home, and he soon felt at ease.
In order to calm Helian Tieshu's anger, this Song official made it clear that he would severely punish this matter.
Then, he turned around, as if he had changed his face, and scolded everyone in the Beggar Clan sternly.
Although he is just a scholar, he has no martial arts skills. But among the hundreds of people in the Beggar Clan, this Song Dynasty official showed no fear. He roared angrily at Qiao Feng and slapped his hat on them one after another.
They said they were lawless, interfered with military affairs of the two countries, and even dared to threaten foreign guests. This is disregarding the people of the world and intending to provoke a war between the two countries. It is a sinner of the nation.
These words made everyone in the Beggar Clan become furious, and everyone clenched their fists.
In fact, the reputation of the Beggar Gang in the official circles of the Song Dynasty was not good.
No, it should be said that all martial arts people do not have a good impression in the minds of literati.
Xia uses force to break the ban. These five words almost express their views.
What kind of chivalry and righteousness is not something you warriors can do? What else do you need the law for?
Even if that official takes bribes, robs women, and destroys families, that is not the business of people like you in the martial arts world, let alone killing people.
You can collect evidence of his crime and solve it through formal channels.
When the time comes, we will naturally deal with it impartially.
Whether it's three drinks as a penalty, or being demoted to another place as an official, everything will be dealt with.
This is probably how the literati of the Song Dynasty viewed these so-called "heroes".
Seeing this Song official being submissive to the Xixia people, he struck hard at patriots like himself.
Many members of the Beggar Clan were extremely angry, feeling that all their passion had been wasted, and they couldn't help but feel disheartened.
They are not afraid of bleeding and fighting with the Xixia people. However, it is disappointing to see that all your efforts are not recognized.
However, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of Beggar Clan disciples, everyone in the Beggar Clan had no choice but to let this Song official take away a group of Xixia warriors.
The Song official even tried to get them to apologize to Hao Lian Tieshu and his party.
However, seeing everyone's eyes looking fierce and looking at him eagerly, as if they were ready to take action, the Song Dynasty official finally stopped insisting.
Looking at the Xixia people who were proud and proud, as if they were returning victoriously. There was silence in the apricot forest. All the people in the world are in low spirits.
