Chapter 252 If you want to get ahead, you have to work hard
Chu Xi's appearance and martial arts skills were unforgettable at the time.
Therefore, when they met here again, even though there were thousands of them, they still felt...instinctively afraid.
In fact, when Wang Youren surrendered without a fight at first, there was resistance.
After all, even though they rarely go to the battlefield, as people of the Great Zhou, resisting enemy countries such as Western Chu and Japan has become a conditioned reflex deeply rooted in their bones.
However, things are more difficult than they imagined. Qi Jianshu looks like a young man in his twenties, but he can fight against four centurions at the same time.
These four centurions were all young men with good martial arts skills, full of vigor and vitality, and unwilling to be slaves of other countries.
Even though the four of them lost the fight with Qi Jianshu, they were still unwilling to surrender.
Qi Jianshu had some admiration for them at that time.
Unfortunately, Xianyang was his first battle, and he had to alert Xi'an...
So no matter how much he admired those people, he still decisively gave the order to have the four of them executed in public and beheaded!
Since they are unwilling to work for Xi Chu, then they can only be sent to death.
These four people serve as a warning to us.
Such fierce and decisive means obviously frightened most people, and no matter how unwilling they were, they dared not resist.
With Qi Jianshu's strong suppression, the others gave up the idea of resistance, and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Xianyang City naturally surrendered without a fight.
The surrendered troops were easily distracted when facing the soldiers of the Great Zhou, not to mention that they were facing... Chu Xi, who had extraordinary martial arts skills.
Although Chu Xi's martial arts skills cannot be said to be unrivaled in the world, she can easily intimidate these ordinary soldiers who have not received much special training.
Some people came to their senses and realized that if they didn't take action, the thousands of them... might be surrounded by Chu Xi alone.
If you tell this to others, it will make people laugh out loud.
Even with so many of them gathered together, they still had no confidence in defeating Chu Xi.
With the belief that even if he died, he would not die in humiliation, a general holding a scimitar stood up. The other party should be someone from the Great Zhou.
But the scimitar in his hand is quite unique. Whether it is the soldiers of the Great Zhou or the soldiers of Western Chu, very few people like to use scimitars.
Not only is the scimitar an extremely rare weapon, but if you don't use it properly, you may accidentally injure yourself.
Therefore, the most commonly used and common weapons on the battlefield are usually spears, long swords, broadswords, long swords, etc.
Even martial artists rarely use scimitars.
Chu Xi doesn't like using a scimitar. It has nothing to do with whether it is easy to use or not, but simply because it doesn't conform to her aesthetic taste.
Besides, when she entered this body, the other party had practiced martial arts for many years, and his body instinctively reacted to sword skills. As for the other things... he had only been exposed to them one or two times.
Rather than learning everything, then being mediocre in everything and being proficient in nothing.
It is better to learn one thing thoroughly until you reach the top.
The man holding the scimitar was dressed in armor. From his attire, one could vaguely guess that he was a captain.
The captain passed by Xi'an City and heard the rumors about Chu Xi and his identity after the battle between Chu Xi and Qi Jianshu.
For this reason, during the battle, he attacked Chu Xi with the scimitar in his hand while greeting him.
"Your Highness, I have long heard of your great name. It is my honor to be able to learn from you today."
Chu Xi's eyes moved slightly, and facing the scimitar that was brushing against his hair, he slightly turned sideways and easily dodged it.
At the moment of dodging, she vaguely saw her own face on the sharp blade of the scimitar.
The silver edge reflected an elegant and delicate face. She raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."
He raised his wrist slightly, turned the sword tip from bottom to top, and easily blocked the opponent's second attack.
This man's martial arts skills are not considered to be drawing a sword, but he just has the advantage of weapons.
The scimitar in his hand and the moves were both unexpected. Chu Xi rarely fought against this kind of weapon, so he was dodging the first few moves.
It was not until the tenth move that he found a flaw and attacked quickly.
The figure flashed, and the boy's fluttering white hairband became a bright color, and the flying arc was just like her.
It is always so elusive and extremely dazzling.
The captain with the scimitar watched Chu Xi disappear in front of him, and subconsciously shook his head left and right, looking for someone.
Before he could find the person, a sword was suddenly pressed against his back. His body froze and he dared not move.
Chu Xi took advantage of the opponent's gap, flew sideways behind the opponent, landed, and pressed the tip of the sword against his back.
Captain, "......"
No matter how unwilling you are, losing is losing, and making excuses is just making excuses.
The sword against his back seemed to be a silent reminder to him.
He lost, and lost very quickly, in just ten moves.
As expected, some time ago, one person took down a bandit’s lair, which was comparable to Zhao Yun’s existence.
This prince is more capable than those children from aristocratic families who rely on their family background and the titles bestowed by their ancestors.
"I lose, you can kill me or chop me up as you like."
Chu Xi's voice was slightly cold. "It is better to control your own destiny than to be someone's lackey. I don't know why you surrender without a fight, but if it were me, I would rather die than charge into the enemy's territory!"
The lieutenant was speechless, as if he remembered something, and smiled coldly, "......"
Who would be willing to betray the country if possible?
"What do you know? People like you, who are born into a family and are favored by heaven, will never be discouraged or neglected, and will never know how difficult it is to be promoted and to be fair in the army!"
Chu Xi's eyes flashed, the sword flashed, and the tip of the sword was stained with blood again.
The two rebels who attempted to attack from behind fell immediately.
As for the captain...without the threat from behind, he turned around with a cold face and said, "You are a noble prince. When you raise your hand, countless servants will come forward to solve your problems. How can you know the difficulties of ordinary people like us!"
"Wang Youren's military management is ordinary, he appoints people based on personal connections, and he uses anyone who has a connection with him, regardless of their ability."
"And for ordinary people like us, if we want to make a name for ourselves, we have to fight hard...ha." At this point, the captain sneered sarcastically.
"Even so, it may not necessarily bring even a little bit of fairness. He will deduct the credit and transfer it to someone else, either his cousin or his brother-in-law. In short, he will never be the real owner of this credit."
"Under his hands, ordinary people will never have a chance to make a name for themselves. What hope can we have for such an army? And the king we are loyal to is far away in the prosperous capital, and will never know the clues of this..."
"In that case, who should we be loyal to? What if we betray our country and surrender to the enemy?"
Chu Xi heard the captain's long-suppressed emotions and anger from his roars.
...In fact, no matter which era, such injustice exists everywhere.
She knew it, and she wanted to change the status quo, but in fact, she knew it clearly in her heart.
Even if Zhou Yichen really ascends the throne in the future and extends the peace and prosperity they want to all cities in the Great Zhou, it will still be difficult to achieve absolute fairness.
Because everyone has selfish desires.
If you have desires, you will be exploited.
This is inevitable.
