Nightfall Chapter 19: Going on horse as a thief (3)
Volume Two, Winter Lake, Chapter 19, Mounted as a Thief (3)
(Ning Que is Mr. Thirteen on the second floor. The implication is very clear. He is a second man.
I am also a second force, and I will decide that starting from February 13th, 7 days a week 4D will be done, but it will definitely be the most difficult at the beginning, so if the writing is rough, don’t mess with me first, next Every week, I will start from the second volume to make revisions and continue to write, see you later. )

……
Regardless of whether he mounts as a thief or a soldier, the person sitting in the saddle usually uses the shortbow scimitar because of space constraints, but Ning Que is different. Starting from Weicheng, he uses the boxwood hardwood bow and Pu The knives are long, so he is accustomed to stepping up, straightening up his bow to shoot arrows or drawing swords to cut people. Although it is somewhat inconvenient to operate, in the eyes of bystanders, this posture is actually quite beautiful.
When he fired another arrow and shot the second horse thief in the distant night, Mo Shanshan, the girl who had been following behind him expressionlessly, finally gave birth to some splendor in her eyes.
There are winter clouds above the wilderness, covering the stars from the light. In the dark night, even the hand holding the bow can't see clearly, but Ning Que can accurately shoot the horse thief just one arrow away. It's really incredible. Things, as if the night could not cover his eyes, as if he could clearly see everything in the darkness.
Although Ning Que's body has only passed through ten orifices, he can control too little vitality of the heavens and the earth, but years of meditation and mental exercises have made his mind and perception condense like needles, making him extremely sensitive to changes in the breath of things around him. , When he was climbing on the second floor of the academy, he was able to walk through that mountain path and relied on it.
At this time, in the dark night, you can easily see the horse thieves, who can lock the opponent at the front of your arrow path, relying on the extremely condensed and sensitive mind power, the mind power comes out of the sea, and the night wind touches the world The vitality in between, so for him, this wasteland is like daylight.
This method should not have been used by any cultivator in the past, because it is too wasteful of precious thought power. If the thought power is sufficient, just kill the ordinary horse thieves in seconds. Why use mind power as a means of detection?
Speaking of, I can only say that Ning Que is always different from ordinary practitioners. The amount of vitality he can control is so small that it is embarrassing, and his thought power and sensitivity are so embarrassing that he devotes himself to practice. The will to combine with the battle is embarrassing, and a few sighs have created such an embarrassing and emotional picture. .
When Ning Que shot the second arrow, Mo Shanshan was staring at him quietly. As the most outstanding practitioner of the young generation in the world, she was keenly aware that at this moment there was a hint of condensed Thought power fluctuates, oscillating next to him, and he can't help but frown slightly, wondering if he is really a practitioner?
The horse thieves in the distance just woke up from their sleep, and two of their companions were killed by arrows. Although they were shocked by the accuracy of the arrow feathers in the night, they responded quickly and jumped on their horses. , Squeezed the horse's belly, and ran towards the arrow feathers, trying to shorten the distance between the two sides in the shortest time, so that the enemy's terrifying archery could not be used, and at the same time, the darkness was no longer the piece in front of them. Fabric curtains in order to fight back.
The sound of hoofs is like rain.
As the horse thief rushed over, Ning Que pulled the bowstring, and a feather arrow slammed into the head of a horse. The horse howled and knocked the horse thief on his back to the ground. Another feather arrow was dangerous. Flew away, nearly rubbing the cheek of a horse thief.
The horse thieves on the grassland are good at riding and shooting. They drew their bodies into the horse's abdomen during the charge. No matter how hard it was for Ning Que’s feather arrows to directly threaten them, in a flash, it was accompanied by increasingly clear and dense hoof sounds, faintly In an appointment, the nearly ten horse thieves swept in like a gust of wind, and even the light reflected by the sharp blades could be seen.
The **** horse has not experienced a real field battle, but it is not afraid to see those of the same kind that are getting closer and closer. Instead, there is a light of excitement in its eyes, and it is constantly kicking its front hoof, not waiting for Ning Que Lifting the rein, he wanted to rush forward.
Looking at the horse thieves approaching, listening to the screaming and angry roars of the horse thieves, Mo Shanshan didn't know how Ning Que was going to respond, and the fingers trapped in the white sleeve gently picked up something.
The excitement of the big dark horse did not make Ning Que feel relieved. He was very annoyed to retake a shot on its head, signalling it to be quieter, but leaped off the horse, and as soon as his feet landed, he did not hesitate. Charged to the horse thieves who swept through the dust and violently.
The distance between the two sides has been pulled very close, the contact is only a short time, no matter who is too late to pull the bow and shoot the arrow, the horse thieves finally see the appearance of the enemy clearly, the front left and right rides are the reins and directly hit Xiang Ningque, the number riding behind, screamed and sat upright, drew the scimitar from his waist and kept waving.
Chopped.
Ning Que pulled out the Pu knife behind her back, with a wrong foot, avoiding the two horses coming in the strong wind, turning his right hand, the blade drew two white rays of light, and then blood appeared.
The two horses wailed, fell forward suddenly, fell heavily on the field, making two muffled noises, and the front hooves chopped off by Piao Dao danced in the air according to inertia, bringing out two paths A miserable bloodline.
The blade strikes, following a cold, curved and deadly trajectory. If you change to an ordinary person, you may not be able to avoid such a weird chopping, but Ning Que is too familiar with the scimitars used by the horse thieves. Even if you close your eyes, you can easily avoid being touched by the other party.
At this time, the night is deep, and there is not much difference between eyes open and closed eyes.
So he easily lowered his head and turned and slanted, avoiding the sharp edges of the scimitars attacked by the horse thieves from above, and then tightened his hands, and the long slender knife tore through the night sky. In the gap, cut off a few horseshoes, split the horse thief's chest and abdomen, with a few thin horsehairs, and then inserted it into the hard plain mud.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the end of the horse thieves. Two horse thieves were killed by the knife and five horses fell. The scimitars in the hands of the horse thieves did not leave any marks on him.
At this time, the winter clouds in the sky occasionally scattered, and a little starlight was leaked. Although the face is still not clearly visible, the figure can be clearly seen. The horse thieves turned their heads back and looked at Ning Que, who was standing in the wilderness with a knife. His body was stiff, and his hand holding the scimitar was shaking, but he still felt extremely cold.
The horse thieves rescued their aspiring companions on the ground as quickly as possible. They ran for a distance to the outside, nervously looking at Ning Que, but didn't have the courage to aim at him.
Ning Que came over and listened to the miserable howls of the horses with broken hoofs in the surrounding night field. The simple knife in his hand pierced through the air, slowly and steadily cutting through the horses’ throats, so that they could best Die fast.
Then he looked at the horse thieves not far away, stretched out his fingers and shook in the night breeze. He didn't know if the other party could see his movements clearly or understand the meaning of his movements.
"Why don't you kill all these horse thieves?"
Mo Shanshan looked at the horse thieves who were escaping far away in the night and asked in confusion.
"A horse thief can't be killed."
Ning Que said: "At least these horse thieves are surrounded by us, I can't kill them alone."
Mo Shanshan looked back at him, his expression was very focused, but his eyes were still a little wandering, and he appeared very unfocused.
Ning Que looked at her beautiful round face and said after a moment of silence: "The reason why I will kill people tonight is that they can bring back an accurate information."
"What information?"
"I want to tell them that besides you, the talisman, there is also someone who is good at killing horse thieves in the food delivery team. If these horse thieves want to eat us, they must pay a higher price. The benefits are not proportional to the risks to be taken, and perhaps they will withdraw by themselves."
Mo Shanshan said: "Although I haven't met horse thief, I have heard many legends of prairie horse thief. They are known for their cruel blood and cruelty. How could they retreat because of some small setbacks?"
"The colder the one who kills, the more afraid of death... I may know more about horse thieves than you."
He continued: "I will kill the horse thief tonight. In addition to asking them to bring a clear message back, I also want to teach you something."
Mo Shanshan's condensed but refreshing eyebrows that looked like ink frowned: "Teach me to kill?"
"Killing, or how not to be killed."
Ning Que looked at her and said seriously: "You are the strongest person in this team. The horse thief is attacking, I can save my life, but the lives of ordinary soldiers and civilians will ultimately depend on you. But the first ones In my opinion, it’s a wasteful practice for you to waste your thoughts and arrange talisman formations outside the camp."
He said: "You are our big killer, then you should not be used for defense, but for offense."
Mo Shanshan was silent for a long time after listening to these words, and then she said: "I have practiced the Rune Dao since I was a child, and in my cognition, only magical runemasters can actively attack."
Ning Que remembered what his master Yan Se had taught him in Chang'an, and couldn't help laughing. He looked at her bun face with no expression, but with a kind of natural joy, and said: "Who said that if you don't know the realm of fate, the talisman can't attack? As long as it is used properly, even if the bun is frozen hard, it is fine. Smashed people to death."
Although they have a clear understanding of the prairie horse thieves and have dealt with them for many years, the direction of the situation is not exactly as Ning Que expected. The horse thieves were a little farther away from the food delivery team on the second day, but they did not He didn't just disperse, but reunited as a team far away, still embracing them reluctantly.
The beauty of distance can also create a sense of security. The distance between the horse thieves and the food delivery team is extended. Although there is no real significance to safety, you can clearly feel the mental pressure of the Yan army and civilian husbands in the team. A lot smaller, even the girls of Dahe Country can occasionally see a smile on their faces.
A corner of the carriage curtain was raised. Mo Shanshan looked at Ning Que on the black horse next to the carriage, looked at his cheek that was mostly covered by the hat, and suddenly asked: "Are you familiar with the wasteland?" /
Ning defect nodded.
Mo Shanshan looked at the shadow cast by the hat on his face and said: "The wasteland is windy, and ordinary people should not wear hats, but why do you and many horse thieves wear hats?"
Ning Que hooked up the lace of his chin with his little finger, and said, "With a strap, I'm not afraid of being blown away by the wind. As for why we are used to wearing hats...the sun on the wasteland is too strong, this thing can shade, the most important thing is It can cover your face."
The purpose of covering your face is naturally not to see people without a face, but to not let others see your face. Whether the horse thief or him, he always protects his identity thoroughly.
Tmall female looked at the group of horse thieves who were almost parallel to the food delivery team in the northeast, and asked with her fine eyebrows: "Brother, where did these horse thieves come from? It should not be far from the royal court. Isn’t anyone in charge?"
"I seem to have answered this question a few days ago."
Ning Que lowered the hat, and said, "Many of the most powerful horse thieves on the grassland have masters. Now the group of horse thieves who are following us obviously also have masters."
Tmall woman curiously asked: "How did you see it?"
Ning Que looked at the horse thieves in the distance, and said after a moment of silence: "Because these horse thieves are too disciplined."
"Who is their master?"
"I don't know."
Ning Que shook his head, thinking that there are not many forces that can afford such a large group of horse thieves on the grassland. However, as analyzed a few days ago, those forces have no reason to instigate the horse thieves to grab this food delivery team. .
The Central Plains countries are in peace talks with the Imperial Court of the Left Account. This food delivery team represents attitude. The food delivered is mainly symbolic, and the quantity is not too much. If this group of horse thieves come for the grain and grass, then After they found that the food delivery team was very difficult to eat, they should be withdrawn immediately. Unless the purpose of the horse thief robbing the food team is not food, but wants to break the agreement or target someone in the food team, then this matter will become very tricky.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the car window beside him. When the winter breeze blew, the corner of the curtain was blown, revealing the calm and indifferent face of Mo Shanshan.
In his opinion, the food delivery team is qualified to attract so many horse thieves, and it can only be the white-clothed girl in the carriage. Of course, when thinking about this issue, he eliminated himself in advance, because he believed that no one knew that he pretended to be a male Mochiyuan disciple in the food delivery team.
The situation gradually deteriorated as Ning Que thought. The atmosphere in the food delivery team only relaxed for a day, and then quickly became more tense and even panicked, because for the next two or three days, there will be food delivery. The horse thieves of the team not only did not leave, but new small groups of horse thieves continued to appear, merging into the group of horse thieves in the distance.
This place is not too far away from the royal court. It only takes about two and a half days for the elite cavalry to arrive. The food delivery team cannot break through the encirclement lightly, so they have to look forward to the reinforcements. There were two bundles in the camp that night. The fireworks rose into the night sky, brightening the deep night, and at the same time shining out the mountain-like horse thieves in the distance.
Fireworks bloomed all the way, and horse thieves came in all the way. The number of horse thieves adorned with the food team grew more and more, and they were gradually turning into a sea of black and overwhelming people.
Ning Que became more and more silent. He looked at the group of horse thieves that had more than six hundred riders in the distance, and the doubt deep in his heart became more and more intense: What do these horse thieves want to do?
