Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

As long as Nagarjuna and Buddha's head delay for a moment, the main cavalry of the Song Army will surround them.

Therefore, the wisest thing to do is to delay as much time as possible.

Only by holding on until reinforcements arrive will Nagarjuna and the Buddha's head be safe!

"Where to escape!"

Then, the Song Army's cavalry quickly adjusted their formation and pursued Nagarjuna towards the location where he escaped.

Within a moment, the two sides distanced themselves.

"Damn it, why did they suddenly speed up?!" Longshu frowned into a Sichuan shape.

According to common sense, the speed of cavalry is much slower than that of infantry, but the Song Army's cavalry is actually getting faster and faster!

"Something's wrong! This Song army is too weird!"

The Buddha's eyes were cold, staring at the Song Army cavalry pursuing them in the distance.

He felt that the Song Army's cavalry did not seem to be walking, and they were even faster than riding horses!
"Master, look at them!"

Nagarjuna pointed at the pursuing Song army and said in horror: "They are riding horses, how can they run so fast!"

"What the hell!"

The Buddha's head also widened his eyes and was horrified.

He really couldn't understand that the Song army on horseback could actually run faster than the infantry on horseback!

What method did the Song army use to give the cavalry extraordinary speed?

Just when the two of them were shocked, the Song Army cavalry had arrived less than ten meters in front of Longshu.

They pulled out their swords one after another, and the sharp cold light bloomed with a dazzling luster, as if the sickle of death was coming.

"Amitabha!" The Buddha's head clasped his hands together.

"Kill!" Song Jun shouted.

Nagarjuna roared angrily, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, swung his long sword and charged forward, fighting with many Song troops.

Nagarjuna holds a three-foot green sword in his hand and displays his power among the Song army's cavalry. He is invincible!
But the Song Army's cavalry were not ordinary people. They cooperated tacitly and in an orderly manner, giving him no chance to breathe at all.

"Damn it!" Longshu was attacked continuously, with a painful expression on his face, and several cuts on his chest and clothes.

For some reason, every time Longjun used his inner strength to imbue his sword, the Song Army cavalry could always predict it in advance and intercept Longjun from various tricky angles.

"Something's wrong! Something's definitely wrong!"

"What kind of moves did this group of Song Army cavalry use?"

The more Nagarjuna fought, the more frightened he became, vaguely aware that something was wrong.

Just as he was thinking, several more swords struck him fiercely, injuring Nagarjuna's left shoulder again.

"Pfft!" Nagarjuna couldn't help but spit out blood, his face turned pale and his spirit was listless.

"Fuck!"

"If you continue fighting like this, you will be killed sooner or later!"

Nagarjuna's face was pale, panic flashed in his eyes, and he was extremely frightened.

Now that he was seriously injured, he was unable to continue fighting, otherwise he would be doomed!
"kill!"

"Kill him!"

The Song cavalry rushed forward madly and aggressively.

Nagarjuna narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts were racing, and various escape strategies came to mind.

But no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't find a way to get out of trouble.

"It's over!"

Seeing the Song Army cavalry getting closer and closer, Nagarjuna finally admitted that he was finished.

If he falls into the hands of the Song Army, he will definitely die!

"In that case, let's fight to the death!" Nagarjuna looked resolutely in his eyes, slapped the horse's butt, and sprinted over.

Then, taking advantage of the Song army's cavalry being unprepared, Nagarjuna jumped up on the horse and waved his sword with all his strength.

In an instant, silver sword flowers bloomed all over the sky, covering the Song Army cavalry.

The Song Army cavalry screamed and fell from their horses one after another.

"Hmph! Playing swordsmanship with me? I am a famous swordsman in the world!"

Nagarjuna looked arrogant and drove his horse to escape into the distance.

But he didn't notice that the Song Army cavalry behind him had strange sneers on their lips.

Two arrows suddenly shot through the air and hit the horse's front hooves accurately.

The horse suddenly howled and fell to the ground.

Nagarjuna's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned over and jumped off the horse.

Then, just as he stood firm, he saw a cold light passing by his side.

"Not good!" Longshu's pupils shrank suddenly.

There were only two chichi sounds, and he was stabbed twice on his right arm and left chest.

Blood dripping and shocking!
Longshu raised his head with difficulty and looked at the Song Army cavalry beside him.

"Hahaha, little bald donkey, you are finally dead!" The leading man grinned ferociously.

The Song Army cavalry cheered in unison, their faces full of excitement.

Nagarjuna's face was pale, and he staggered back to the hillside, his face twisted and hideous.

Zhao Defang slowly came from behind, "Master Nagarjuna, your Tubo Kingdom has repeatedly invaded our Song Dynasty territory and has been wiped out by our army. Why don't you raise your hands and surrender?"

"Haha, you... ahem... also want to kill me?"

Nagarjuna kept sneering, and his expression became more ferocious: "Dream!"

"You can never catch me, let alone capture me alive!" Nagarjuna gritted his teeth and roared, "Let's all die together!"

Before he finished speaking, Longshu suddenly burst into action, rushed in front of the Song Army cavalry, and raised his sword to kill several soldiers!

"Ah!" The remaining soldiers were frightened and froze on the spot, forgetting to hide.

The sword light flashed, and Nagarjuna swept across six or seven corpses, and finally crashed into the Song army's camp.

Nagarjuna held the sword with both hands and thrust it directly into the ground, forcibly blocking the Song cavalry from approaching.

The sharp blade penetrated the soldier's body without mercy, instantly staining the ground red, and the strong smell of blood spread out.

When the remaining Song Army cavalry saw this, they all looked horrified and did not dare to step forward any further.

They never expected that Nagarjuna would choose to die together!

Nagarjuna was covered in blood and his face was pale. He was obviously exhausted and on the verge of life and death.

"You want to kill me? Dreaming!"

"I am the Protector of the Tubo Kingdom! I am one of the top five masters!"

"Even if I die in battle, I will support you!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Nagarjuna laughed maniacally, but his eyes were filled with sadness and regret.

"Pathetic." Zhao Defang sneered and immediately asked his soldiers to surround Longjun, then drew his sword and prepared to kill him.

Nagarjuna struggled and seemed unwilling.

He could obviously leave alive, but it's a pity that because of his greed for success, he ended up in danger!
Nagarjuna didn't want to give in, but he really couldn't hold on any longer, so he could only sigh helplessly: "Just...just..."

Zhao Defang held a sharp sword and stabbed Nagarjuna directly between his eyebrows.

Nagarjuna's eyes gradually became distracted.

Just when Zhao Defang was about to pull out the sword, Longshu's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at him.

"Huh?" Zhao Defang frowned slightly.

Nagarjuna's right hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the pulse gate of Zhao Defang's right wrist.

Then, with a sudden force, the sword in Zhao Defang's right hand was taken away.

Nagarjuna's face was as frosty as he roared sternly: "I said that even if I die, I won't make you feel better!"

Nagarjuna stabbed Zhao Defang in the chest with a long sword.

But Zhao Defang reacted quickly and turned sideways to avoid this fatal attack.

Taking advantage of the victory, Nagarjuna pursued him, intending to kill Zhao Defang.

However, the Song Army cavalry had already reacted and immediately organized a siege.

"Protect the commander!" Hundreds of Song Army cavalry rushed forward fiercely, trying to stop Longjun.

Although Nagarjuna was superb in martial arts, he was still outnumbered.

Eventually they were surrounded by hundreds of Song troops.

The Song Army's crossbowmen aimed at his vital parts.

"Fire the arrow!" the leader of the Song army shouted.

The dense rain of arrows, like pear blossom needles in a rainstorm, was shot towards Nagarjuna.

Nagarjuna kept yelling angrily, dodging the arrows in a panic.

Nagarjuna accidentally fell down and his knee was seriously injured and unbalanced, making it impossible for him to get up.

The Song Army's crossbowmen took the opportunity to fire arrows, and the arrows hit Longshu's body hard, making him scream in pain.

Nagarjuna was completely beaten into a sieve, and his body was covered with dense arrows.

Several more spears came and stabbed Nagarjuna into pulp.

……

"The Tubo Kingdom has been completely destroyed, and our Song army has won a great victory." Zhao Defang announced loudly.

When all the soldiers heard this, they burst into thunderous cheers.

Zhao Defang nodded with satisfaction and waved to close the team.

If Nagarjuna dies, Tubo will surely die!
Zhao Defang ordered to his guards: "Pass this general's order and make every effort to wipe out the Tubo Kingdom within three days."

"As ordered!"

Zhao Defang led his army back to the city, while the top officials of the Song army celebrated the victory on the tower.

"Commander, thank you for arriving in time today! Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!" the deputy general manager said with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Defang smiled calmly and said: "Deputy General Manager, you are polite. I have already anticipated that a critical situation will occur and specially brought reinforcements!"

"You are so handsome and wise!"

Song Jun's top brass all complimented and flattered him.

The deputy general manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhao Defang was prepared and dispatched elite rescuers in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!

"Commander, what should we do next?" the deputy general manager asked cautiously.

Zhao Defang thought deeply for a moment and said: "Seal the news first, and then discuss countermeasures after Song Jiang and others arrive!"

"This is a humble job, please tell someone to take care of it!" The deputy general manager quickly ran out to deliver the order.

……

Two days later, Zhao Defang led his army back to the Northern Song Dynasty. This victory made the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty more stable.

Although the Tubo Kingdom has been annihilated, there are still a small number of defeated soldiers who fled.

Zhao Defang was worried about the safety of the hinterland of the Northern Song Dynasty, so he ordered soldiers from all walks of life to search for the remaining defeated generals and make sure to wipe them out.

Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, the treasury of the Northern Song Dynasty was empty, and there was actually not much food.

The so-called financial tension refers to the lack of sufficient military pay, materials, and food in the Northern Song Dynasty, which fundamentally caused the country's financial distress and led to people's livelihood difficulties.

It is precisely because of today's national environment that prompted Zhao Defang to continue to expand the military scale.

Zhao Defang is very clear that at this stage, the northern states and counties are still in a state of chaos and need to rely on armed force to suppress it.

Therefore, the purpose of expanding the army is not only to defend the territory against foreign invaders, but also to suppress rebellions in counties and counties in the northern provinces.

Zhao Defang knew very well that the army alone could not suppress those traitors!

Only with the help of official authority can we successfully control the northern states and counties.

Only by firmly controlling the northern region can the Song Dynasty be considered safe!
……

During this period, the conflicts between the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties gradually intensified.

There have always been frictions at the border between the two countries. In recent years, due to frequent wars and frequent defeats, the two sides have become increasingly noisy over border issues.

Recently, a tacit understanding has been formed between the two countries that no matter who wins or loses, they will not continue the war.

What followed was the formation of super-sects.

The Jiuxiao Sect of the Shangqing Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, most of whom were members of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, took the Thunder Method as the authentic sect, and had the power to call the wind and rain, and preached to the world.

The Shenxiao Jiuyuan Sect of the Northern Song Dynasty was a sect independently established by the folk sects of the Northern Dynasties in order to resist the Jiuxiao Sect of the Southern Dynasties. Most of its members were people from the folk dharma lineage and regarded Emperor Jiutian Shenwu as the authentic sect.

The confrontation between the two countries then turned into a confrontation between the two major sects, causing many folk magicians and martial arts masters to join the war.

In just a few months, the two religions started bloody killings on the Song border.

The disciples of the two sects fought against each other and snatched treasures, secret books, elixirs and other cultivation resources, making the entire Song Dynasty restless.

Qin Tian has not been idle during this period of time, hiding in the busy city and watching various confrontations between the two countries.

"It seems that this unprecedented war between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty is destined to be inevitable."

"However, neither the Southern Song Dynasty nor the Northern Song Dynasty could escape the fate of destruction."

On the street, disciples of the Shangqing Jiuxiao Sect were investigating the Southern Song Dynasty's secretaries and spies.

The Shangqing Sect is good at the method of thunder, summoning thunder from the sky, and calling for wind and rain.

They can avoid accidentally killing innocent people by expelling or reducing the intensity of lightning.

Because of the war between the two countries, the people were displaced and suffered from hunger and cold. Many people took risks and entered the palace to steal royal medicinal materials and poisons, and even seek wealth.

Therefore, every time they encounter a similar case, Shangqing Jiuxiao Sect will not give up easily.

"Eh? There's something going on!" Suddenly, Qin Tian noticed someone sneaking around not far away.

Qin Tian followed quietly.

I saw the man lurking on the roof with a dagger in his hand, staring at a room with a sneaky look in his eyes.

Qin Tian recognized the man's identity - a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, named Xu Hai!
What is he doing lurking here?
Qin Tian quietly came up behind Xu Hai and kicked him on the waist, causing him to fall to the ground instantly.

Xu Hai reacted very quickly and immediately drew his sword and stabbed Qin Tian.

Qin Tian turned sideways to avoid the long sword, grabbed Xu Hai's right arm holding the sword, and pushed him down with force.

Xu Hai struggled several times, but Qin Tian was too overbearing and overbearing. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move.

"Which line of spy are you on?" Qin Tian said coldly.

Xu Hai gritted his teeth and said: "I am a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, how can I allow you to slander me?"

"Haha... Shangqing Sect..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian laughed disdainfully.

"Since you know that I am a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, you should know how powerful I am. Be smart and be restrained. Don't force me to be cruel and hurt innocent people!"

Xu Hai's face changed slightly and he snorted coldly: "It's simply delusional to want me to surrender!"

Qin Tian frowned and thought to himself: "If I let him go, wouldn't there be hidden dangers?"

Thinking of this, Qin Tian's eyes showed a look of determination, and he stretched out his index finger to point at Xu Hai's forehead.

Xu Hai was scared!
"Ah!" He screamed, his whole body shaking violently.

Qin Tian retracted his index finger, looked at Xu Hai with a face full of pain, and said coldly: "If you refuse to cooperate, you will fall into a coma permanently!"

"What do you want?" Xu Hai shouted in horror.

Qin Tian said coldly: "Tell me, what are you doing lurking here?"

"I want to steal something!" Xu Hai hesitated for a while and replied weakly.

"Haha, do you think I will believe it?"

"I really just want to steal something and won't cause you any trouble!" Xu Hai quickly explained.

Qin Tian shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Then I will send you on your way, okay?"

The tone was very soft, but it was full of murderous intent, making Xu Hai couldn't help but tremble.

"I say! I say!" Xu Hai said hurriedly: "The Shenxiao Jiuyuan Sect of the Northern Song Dynasty is planning to break through Nanjing City. I am just a spy responsible for investigation!"

"As I expected." Qin Tian thought to himself.

Shenxiao Jiuyuan Sect does have such ambitions, but it dare not act on it, otherwise it will cause disaster.

Although doing this can bring huge benefits, other sects will attack him.

Therefore, the Shenxiao Jiuyuan Sect wanted to plan a big time in the Northern Song Dynasty and had to find helpers.

Xu Hai is the helper.

He is not only good at lurking and monitoring, but also knows how to observe the situation and wait for opportunities to instigate conflicts between the two countries. (End of chapter)
