Chapter 43

(Fang Xie is a knowledgeable man. He has not only traveled a lot in the past 15 years, but also never been to the imperial capital in his last life. Therefore, in his mind, Chang'an city is just an ancient city with green walls, red tiles and many wooden buildings. Therefore, when Xiang qingniu talked about how magnificent the imperial capital is, he really didn't mention any interest.

Cui lueshang listened with interest and soon became fascinated.

"Do you know how high the walls of the imperial capital are?"

Xiang qingniu sat on the red carriage next to the big dog, proudly picked his chin, stood up and motioned: "it's so high!"

Fang Xie, who rode on the horse, chuckled: "Dear Taoist priest, can you not use your height as the basis for the grandeur of Chang'an City? Even if you stand up from the carriage and draw... If the wall of Chang'an city can be drawn with your height and arm exhibition, I really doubt whether the name of the first city in the world is a little empty.

He stretched out his hand, gestured on the head of Xiang qingniu and said, "even fan Gu's wall is so high."

Xiang qingniu had a little annoying fear for the boy who didn't know his origin. He didn't know whether it was because the four intersecting lines in Fang Xie's palm and the red mole, or because this guy was a little better than him in terms of thick face and black heart.

So he just snorted coldly. After a while, he felt that he had to find some face, and then pretended to be very arrogant: "you are not a candidate of the martial arts academy, otherwise I guarantee you can't pass the exam."

Cui lueshang was stunned, then pointed to Fang Xie and said: "He's a candidate from the martial arts academy, and he's also a candidate from the military. It's easier to say than us to get the identity of a candidate. You know, my aunt got the quota because she was recently granted the title of imperial concubine. With this level of face and many gifts, he only needs to save enough military achievements in the border army, and then have a recommendation to take the exam."

"Aha!"

Xiang qingniu immediately became interested and opened his eyes: "you are really a candidate of the martial arts academy, then you are miserable!"

Fang Xie ignored Xiang qingniu, but looked at Cui lueshang seriously and solemnly and said, "it seems that in the eyes of people from large families, soldiers in the army are not qualified to get the number of students in the martial arts academy? It seems that in your eyes, it is easier for ordinary soldiers without prominent background to get the number of places than your noble children?"

Cui lueshang paused for a moment and asked in some surprise, "isn't it so?"

Fang Xie couldn't help laughing. He smiled so darkly: "I don't know how much money you spent, and I'm not interested in knowing how much face your family sold in exchange for a place for you. But you must not know what I bought. Maybe even if I told me I bought it with 21 military exploits, you wouldn't feel it."

He said seriously, "I just ask you, do you know what twenty-one military exploits mean?"

Cui lueshang asked, "what?"

Fang Jie said word by word: "It means my life is big, and I will die twenty-one times... You people will never understand how important and extravagant a quota for reference in a martial arts academy is to an ordinary soldier! It is an opportunity to change their fate that they have worked hard for countless times, perhaps in their lifetime. You rely on family fame and gold, silver and jewelry for that quota, and we What I want is to trade my life for it. "

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, laughed at himself and said, "of course, in your eyes, the lives of our border soldiers may not be worth the money you sent out."

"I..."

Cui lueshang blushed, couldn't help shaking his head and explained, "I really don't think so."

Fang Xie smiled coldly and asked, "let me ask you something. If you or your noble friends kill an ordinary soldier on purpose or not, how can you solve it once it happens?"

"Compensation."

Cui lueshang said seriously: "A large sum of money is enough to compensate a loved one who has been dead enough to live in his life." of course, there will be some Kwai family Born Losers Who will press down on this matter by their own forces. They will never mention litigant's lawsuits. Li Yuan had killed a fast man's hand in Xiangcheng, and had not lost a copper coin. He also drove the family out of Xiangcheng. I know it's wrong to do so. I advised him... "

Fang Jie interrupted Cui lueshang and asked, "what if an ordinary soldier accidentally killed a noble son like you?"

"Will... Die..."

Cui lueshang's face changed and he found that his voice was so low that he could hardly hear. He had never thought of this problem before. Now he thought about it carefully and was really touched.

"It's over when you die?"

Fang Xie snorted coldly: "if the helper in Xiangcheng accidentally killed Li Yuan, he's afraid that it's not just as simple as dying, his family will be broken and people will die... Even relatives and friends will be harmed!"

"Do you know how many thieves the soldiers of the border army kill to accumulate military merit?"

He asked.

Cui lueshang shook his head.

Fang Xie said in a slow voice: "when one enemy is wounded, CE Xun turns and more than three people are killed, CE Xun turns nine times. After CE Xun turns nine times, he accumulates military skills once. If he wants to take the exam of the great Sui martial arts academy, he needs to accumulate military skills at least 20 times... Have you calculated how many thieves he killed? Do you know that every time he kills someone, he faces a great risk of being killed?"

What Fang Xie didn't know was that Li Xiaozong lied to him. According to the rules of the great Sui Dynasty, if you accumulate five military achievements, you can sign up for reference to the martial arts academy. In order to keep Fang Xie, Li Xiaozong lied for at least two years.

While Fang explained that he was killed, a powerful crossbow came quickly and went straight to his throat!

……

……

Crossbow from the earth!

Dozens of big men in black suddenly jumped up in the grass on both sides of the official road. Before or hidden in the previously dug pit, they only waited for Fang Xie and others to pass by. These people suddenly jumped into the air, just like dozens of eagles suddenly flapping their wings in the grass. They all hold the same single crossbow in their hands, with amazing power.

A single shot crossbow is slightly less lethal than a crossbow, but it also depends on what occasion it is used. If the two armies face each other, the power of the crossbow can definitely be called a killing weapon. It can be used to assassinate, and the advantage of single crossbow is very obvious. The single crossbow has a longer range and greater strength. Even the door panel can be shot through with a crossbow.

Dozens of single crossbows are powerful at the same time, just like dozens of lightning splitting at one target at the same time!

Fang Xie was unprepared, because he had been used to the perception of two people around him, Mu Xiaoyao and big dog. One can sense the cultivation of the enemy, and the other can sense the murderous spirit. In the past, no matter what kind of crisis they encountered, these two people could warn in advance.

But this time, there was no sign.

Mu Xiaoyao in the carriage didn't feel that there were experts nearby, and the big dog didn't even smell the murderous spirit he would never smell.

This sudden assassination is the first time Fang Xie has met in his life!

He was neither with the big dog nor in the carriage.

He rode a tall horse with a very obvious goal. In addition to two steps beside him, trellis Shang, who also rode a horse, couldn't even find an obstacle that could resist the crossbow. The assassins leaped from both sides of the official path, only more than 20 steps away from the nearest Fang Xie. This distance is instant for a single crossbow.

The last second Fang Xie was still holding grievances for the border soldiers, and he was unprepared.

But the next second, the horizontal knife behind him had reached his hand.

Between the electric light and the flint, the square solution would have come to the hard crossbow in front of him, and then jumped without hesitation from the horse's back. No matter whether he would be hurt accidentally by Tristan and his guard horse, he rolled out on the official road and adjusted his posture like a cheetah to attack the enemy.

Instead of hiding behind the carriage, he unexpectedly rushed into the assassins on one side. Behind him, those crossbows and arrows were stuck in the official way.

If his movement is half a second slow, he may have been penetrated by at least three crossbows and arrows.

Just as he jumped out of the official road and jumped at the assassins, a red Ling flew out of the carriage like a Python and caught the assassin closest to Fang Xie. The python wrapped around the prey and tightened it fiercely. With a click, the assassin didn't know how many ribs had been broken and died immediately.

The next second, Mu Xiaoyao rushed out of the carriage.

And the big dog has crushed an assassin's neck.

It is in this short period of time that other people's reactions are different. One of the guards with the highest cultivation beside Cui lueshang kicked him off his horse, and then jumped down on Cui lueshang. After the arrow rain, Cui lueshang's four guards were all nailed to death. The guard who protected Cui lueshang got three arrows on his back and looked dead.

Xiang qingniu got into the carriage at the first time.

Fang Xie's body fell low, almost rushing forward close to the ground. Taking advantage of an assassin's time to discard the single crossbow in his hand, Fang Xie's Crossbow fiercely cut out. The knife drew a line in mid air and immediately came to the assassin. After a puff, half of the assassin's head was removed by a sharp horizontal knife.

The assassin had no time to shout. Before he fell down, Fang Xie had rushed to the second assassin. At this time, the second assassin lost the single crossbow and pulled out the ring head knife at his waist.

But he's still slow.

Fang Xie's horizontal knife stabbed up at an unimaginable angle below the side, penetrated the assassin's jaw, and then the blade came out from the top of the head. After a successful knife, Fang Xie's wrist twisted, and the blade turned fiercely in the man's brain and pulled out again.

As the body fell down, the white brain mixed with blood slowly gushed out of the wound. Because these two things are mixed together, they look extraordinarily viscous.

The third knife, Fang Xie, directly cuts an assassin's lower abdomen. The intestines and internal organs almost burst out along the cracked opening, and a large sticky mass fell at the man's own feet. A piece of intestines hung on the wound and connected to the mass of mud on the ground. The assassin was about to step forward and stab Fang, but he stepped on his internal organs, his intestines tripped his ankles, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.

Just when he killed three people in a row, Mu Xiaoyao had killed seven people and big dog had killed six.

For pure homicide, novice solutions don't seem to be much slower than the two of them. You know, Fang Xie is a person who can't practice. The speed of killing people can almost be described as abnormal. He doesn't look like a coward who hasn't killed anyone in the border town at all, but more like a hundred war veteran who climbed out of the sea of corpses!

"Something's wrong!"

The big dog jumped fiercely and punched through an assassin's heart. When his hand was taken back from the man's chest, he still held half a bleeding heart.

"These assassins are too weak. They are ordinary warriors at best! They don't even have the strength of a product!"

Fang Xie took off half of an assassin's shoulder with a knife and said, "why don't you smell the murderous spirit!"

With a click, the big dog directly pulled down an assassin's two arms from his shoulders, and then kicked the man's bare body out: "I don't know, I didn't understand!"

When Fang Xie and the three of them were busy killing people, the frightened Cui lueshang looked at the guard who died to protect himself and panicked, completely wasting his second-class cultivation, while Xiang qingniu, hiding in the carriage, couldn't help crying.

"Fang Xie, you son of a bitch! What's your origin and how can you get into trouble with these first-class and difficult guys in the world! If anyone is watched by them, he will die!"

But Fang Xie didn't die this time.

After the dozens of assassins killed and injured more than 20 people, the leading man whistled and turned and ran away. Big dog and Mu Xiaoyao chased each other out and captured one in a short time. But it was meaningless, because while captured alive, the two assassins bit the poison hidden in their teeth.

If he wanted to catch up with others, more than a dozen war horses rushed out of the roadside forest and ran away with the disabled assassins.

Fang Xie spat a bloody spit, jumped over and pulled Xiang qingniu out of the carriage.

"Who are they!"

Xiang qingniu trembled with fear and fell down almost soft. Not because of the assassination, but because Fang Xie didn't know when her eyes turned red.
