The morning light appears.
Gu Xiaotian's injuries have almost recovered.
He dressed himself up like a beggar and went to the busiest street in Mobei City. He squatted on the street and watched the officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth, tapping his fingers on the ground.
For beggars, most officers and soldiers only take a look at them and don't pay much attention to them.
But if they were more careful, they would find that Gu Xiaotian was not beating irregularly, but every time a group of officers and soldiers passed by, Gu Xiaotian would stop for a moment, pluck a blade of grass from his body, and put it on the on the ground.
There was a long interval until the next group of officers and soldiers passed by again.
In one morning, Gu Xiaotian roughly deduce the current course of action of the officers and soldiers in Mobei City.
After that, he slowly stood up and came to a noodle stall closest to the military camp.
The noodle shop owner here usually does military business. When he sees a beggar coming, he will come up and attack him.
Gu Xiaotian was not stingy either. He handed over all the copper coins in his bowl to the boss and said, "Make a bowl of noodles for the uncle, and add more meat!"
The boss stared at the money in the bowl with his eyes shining. He usually did business at a loss. The soldiers in Mobei City were all scoundrels, and only a few conscientious ones would give him enough money. But such a good place close to the barracks has its disadvantages. On weekdays, the soldiers would also joke with the boss, which gave the boss more face than all the noodle stalls in Mobei City.
The boss muttered: "When did beggars get rich?"
But he just muttered, after all, no one would have trouble with money.
It was just lunch time, and many soldiers came to sit down at the noodle stall. The boss immediately became busy and had no time to care about Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian took two bites of noodles that were neither salty nor bland at a small table at the edge, then put down his chopsticks and listened to the discussions of the soldiers.
The soldier sitting at the next table looked unhappy and complained: "What's going on recently? There are only a few people on the other side, so they are going to such a big fight?"
The other two soldiers at the table nodded in agreement.
Because of Gu Xiaotian and his party, most of the barracks in Mobei City became active, which obviously increased the workload of these soldiers.
Mobei City was peaceful before. These soldiers usually just patrolled the streets and went back to drink and gamble happily.
The soldier at the next table became more and more enthusiastic. In excitement, he slammed the table, "It's best not to let me catch that Gu Xiaotian. If I catch him, I will definitely skin him first." , after cramping his tendons, making him unable to live or die!"
In the noodle stall, all the soldiers were mobilized and shouted.
"What are you arguing about?"
A strong man eight feet tall suddenly shouted angrily and walked towards the noodle stall.
The soldiers who were originally excited suddenly lost their temper and lowered their heads to eat noodles.
The strong man looked around, and his eyes happened to fall on the soldier who just took the lead, and he strode towards him.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, the soldier quickly knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling and said: "General...General, I was wrong."
The strong man's face was expressionless.
When the soldier saw that there was no sound, he slowly raised his head. What came face to face was a big foot that kicked him in the chin.
The soldier jumped up into the air and fell heavily on Gu Xiaotian's table. Noodle soup was spilled all over him. He was covering his mouth and still had a few broken teeth.
The strong man warned: "If you dare to do this again next time, you won't want your head anymore."
Regardless of the pain, the soldier quickly stood up and knelt down, banging his head.
The strong man waved his hand and asked the soldiers at the same table to take the unfortunate guy away.
Gu Xiaotian was now looking shabby and looking like a beggar. The strong man probably didn't recognize him.
The strong man walked up to Gu Xiaotian, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, handed it to Gu Xiaotian and said, "I have offended you so much. The money for this bowl of noodles today is mine."
Gu Xiaotian took the silver ingot.
He chuckled and said, "Master, you still know the truth."
The strong man nodded, turned around and waved his hand and said, "Eat quickly. We will gather at the barracks training ground in a quarter of an hour. Those who are late will bear the consequences."
The soldiers at the other tables immediately started gobbling it up.
After eating, these soldiers immediately stood up and ran towards the barracks.
The noodle stall owner looked at the broken table and shook his head helplessly. However, he still did not complain. He just silently put away the bowls from other tables and urged Gu Xiaotian: "Little beggar, get out of here after you finish eating." .”
Gu Xiaotian approached the boss, handed over the silver ingot given by the strong man, and asked: "Boss, can I ask you something?"
The boss looked at the silver ingot, and his eyes almost fell out of his head. He immediately put on a smiling face, took the silver ingot, wiped it on his body, put it in his pocket, and said, "Say it, little beggar." , I am not bragging to you, my noodle stall has been open next to this barracks for seven or eight years, and I know a lot of inside information here."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Boss, who was that strong man just now?"
The boss said: "You mean that tall guy just now? That person is amazing. Qiu Feng, the great general of Mobeicheng, is this guy."
After saying that, the boss gave a thumbs up.
Gu Xiaotian nodded and continued to ask: "Then what is the origin of this hill? I think the soldiers are afraid of him?"
The boss said: "This General Qiu is amazing. We northern barbarians are all good at fighting, but in the eyes of outsiders, most of us only have well-developed limbs and simple minds. But General Qiu is different. He has a good mind. He is really born with it." He is a general who has made many military exploits. It was originally said that he was going to be sent to Kyoto as a deputy general, but he had to choose to go back to Mobei to lead the army. I don’t know what he thought, but thanks to General Qiu, he stayed in Mobei. , we in Mobei have always been the number one in the Northern Wilderness."
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It seems that General Qiu's reputation among the people is quite good?"
The boss nodded, "No, General Qiu may have a weird temper, but he is not a picky person when it comes to work. With him here, the people of Mobei City can feel at ease."
Gu Xiaotian suddenly changed the subject, "In the eyes of the people, which one is more important, the Xing family or General Qiu?"
The boss quickly let out an ouch and made a shushing gesture, "Little beggar, you can't say this nonsense. You don't want this head anymore?"
Gu Xiaotian said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? Is it possible that your little noodle stall has ears on the wall?"
The boss shook his head, "If you can't say it, you can't say it. As ordinary people, how dare we use this as a talking point?"
Gu Xiaotian patted the boss on the shoulder and said, "It seems that the people are also very dissatisfied with the Xing family."
The boss frowned and said with a grimace: "Little beggar, you are not from the Northern Wilderness, are you?"
Gu Xiaotian nodded, "Boss is smart, I'm really not from the Northern Wilderness."
The boss took a long breath. He didn't blame anyone who didn't know, but he still advised: "Little beggar, remember, this is different in Beihuang from other places. Don't talk about the above things on weekdays. We ordinary people can live well. Just every day will do.”
Gu Xiaotian suddenly asked: "Boss, do you want Beihuang to become the second king with a different surname?"
The boss thought for a while, then looked at Gu Xiaotian, and finally just sighed and said: "What we ordinary people think is not that important. Whatever the superiors do, we just accept it. As long as we can live well, it is more important than anything else. "
Gu Xiaotian smiled helplessly.
After saying goodbye to the boss, Gu Xiaotian walked out of the stall, turned his head to look at the barracks, and murmured softly: "What a pity... this thing about stance is really harmful."
Xu Ji did not have to wait for the night to enter the city like Gu Xiaotian, but chose the most direct way and walked to the city gate in a swagger.
As a native of the Northern Wilderness and a descendant of the Xu family, Xu Ji was naturally much easier to recognize than Gu Xiaotian. In addition, he did not hide anything and walked to the city gate alone with a knife. , naturally aroused the vigilance of the soldiers defending the city.
A veteran bravely came up, stretched out his hand to stop us, and said, "No visitors allowed in."
Xu Ji had no expression on his face and said calmly: "I am not an idler."
The veteran frowned and said, "The Xing family has made a rule that no one from the Xu family is allowed to enter the city."
Xu Ji said coldly: "Mobei is also my home."
The veteran shook his head and said, "Master Xu, it used to be your home, but it's no longer your home."
Then, the veteran waved, and several soldiers rushed out and surrounded Xu Ji.
Xu Ji looked around, looked at the soldiers, and said, "I don't want to kill anyone." Z.br>
After all, he is still a Northern Wilderness person.
Although Xu Ji rarely goes out on weekdays and mostly just stays in the martial arts studio or studies martial arts at home, these faces are still familiar.
The veteran was quite helpless, "Master Xu, if you hadn't betrayed the Xing family, I'm afraid you wouldn't be like this."
Xu Ji said calmly: "What the Xing family did is shameless. As people in the world, we should naturally stop it."
The veteran shook his head, "Master Xu, this is the Northern Wilderness."
Xu Ji held down the handle of the knife and said softly: "This is also the world."
Seeing Xu Ji about to draw his sword, many soldiers took a few steps back.
These soldiers are still self-aware. Even if they go together, they will not be Xu Ji's opponent, and they will not even be able to fill the gap between his teeth.
The veteran thought so too. He gritted his teeth and finally ordered: "Open the city gate."
The soldiers were relieved and ran to the city gate one after another and opened the city gate.
Xu Ji held the long knife at his waist and walked towards the city step by step.
However, at this time, the sound of horse hooves sounded behind Xu Ji.
A swarm of dark troops were rushing towards Mobei City.
At the same time, on the other side, a snow-white army was also rushing towards Mobei City.
Xu Ji looked back, took a closer look, and saw clearly the two men leading the troops at the front.
Demons and monsters.
Naturally, the monsters also noticed Xu Ji. They were far away from each other, but they still met their eyes and said loudly: "Kill him!"
The two troops roared together, and the sound shook the sky.
Xu Ji's hand was pressed on the handle of the knife from beginning to end, and he just looked at the two troops coldly.
The sound of horses trampling on mountains and rivers is loud.
The first one to kill was the cavalry in black. The leading cavalry had already fired a shot at Xu Ji.
At the moment when the spear was swept out, Xu Ji's knife was also unsheathed.
The long knife cut off the spear abruptly. Then Xu Ji pulled the cavalryman to the ground with one hand, raised his hand and stabbed through the heart with a knife.
More and more cavalry came, and the first cavalry were all very brave, and they drew their guns one after another.
Xu Ji had an expressionless face, holding a knife to remove the head with one hand, and grabbing the person at close range with the other to dismount him.
Thousands of cavalry faced Xu Ji, who only held a sword, but they didn't even get the slightest advantage.
This made Xi Mei feel a little depressed.
This time when they borrowed troops to go to Mobei, Xiao Mei naturally brought over the best ones in the city, for no other reason than that. Since he had chosen to stand on the Xing family's side, it would not be wrong to put in more effort.
At this moment, Xu Ji was already furious.
His face was covered in blood.
Jin Mei commanded from behind: "Everyone, stop first!"
All the cavalrymen who had not yet charged forward stopped and looked at Xu Ji from afar.
When the demons and demons met, the demons said angrily, "This guy is not simple. I'm afraid our cavalry can't hurt him."
The demon glanced at Xu Ji, nodded and said, "Let the cavalry withdraw first."
As soon as the order was given, the cavalry retreated, and the crossbowmen at the rear stepped forward one after another and set up their machine crossbows.
The corner of Jin Mei's mouth curled up.
If I can't get close to you, why can't I shoot you to death?
Xu Ji slowly exhaled a breath and looked at the machine crossbows, but still stood still.
Just right
When they were about to launch the first salvo, an unharmonious sound suddenly came from the city wall.
"Xu Ji, it seems you are in trouble."
