The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 358 Shadow Blade

The border night is always cloudless, and the moon is as bright as jade.

However, today is different from the past.

Clusters of clouds floated from nowhere, covering the moonlight again and again.

The small town is flickering.

Just like in Liuhe Building, everyone's mind is uncertain.

People come to watch the fun.

From full of anticipation to hunger.

The truth has not yet been fully revealed, but just a few appetizers made them feel agitated.

A feeling of unease began to linger in their minds.

They have to wonder whether they are also deeply involved in a big conspiracy, and their lives are in danger at any time.

Right now, they all held their breaths and stared nervously at the handsome man with a wicked smile but no anger in his eyes.

Wait for it to announce the exact identity of the 18 people who are also in the hall.

In their perception, the town's border general, Shi Xin, has all warriors who are brave and good at fighting, and there is absolutely no coward.

And the handsome man even said earlier that these 18 people are a mysterious teacher with a special organization, which undoubtedly put a veil full of danger on them.

They couldn't make up their minds, should they continue to stay in Liuhe Building and find out what happened.

It's better to leave as soon as possible, as if you have never been here, so as to save your life.

The person who didn't want to cause trouble had moved away and was about to get up and leave, but it was too late.

The handsome man pinpointed the timing and said word by word: "Dark, shadow, ten, eight, ride."

Yu Le knew that as long as he opened his mouth, no one would be able to walk away.

Those who have heard of the title of "Eighteen Shadow Riders" will definitely be overwhelmed by its prestige.

Those who haven't heard of it will also be locked in their seats by that damn curiosity.

Sure enough, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

Those who know it are horrified and unable to speak.

Those who don't know, secretly dumbfounded, waiting for the next word.

Xue Qinghuan blinked, her eyes wandered, as if she was trying to remember something, but to no avail.

Seeing this, Yu Le said, "Master Xue Pavilion, does it seem that he has heard of it somewhere?"

Xue Qinghuan didn't deny it, and said: "That's true, but in Xue's impression, the Eighteen Shadow Riders are all from the Jianghu, and now it's a bit surprising to know that they belong to the imperial court, and even the former Ministry of General Shi. "

Yu Ledao: "It's no wonder Pavilion Master Xue. If he hadn't been walking around the southwest region all year round, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to hear any news about the Eighteen Shadow Riders."

"It seems that the Eighteen Shadow Riders are worthy of the name and can only exist in the shadows." Xue Qinghuan held her chin, trying to figure out the meaning of Yu Le's words, "Since we have talked about this, Mr. Yu might as well follow Xue, tell me about the background of the Eighteen Shadow Riders?"

Xue Qinghuan has long been a representative of the public, although he said that he was answering questions for one person, in fact, as long as there is no objection to the questions he raises, they represent the opinions of everyone.

After all, Yu Le is not a stupid person.

When everyone was in high spirits earlier, he was the one who made everyone's bad luck, and then he successfully led the disaster to Luo Piaoling through Xue Qinghuan's analysis.

When everyone is extremely anxious, if they continue to play tricks, it will undoubtedly completely annoy everyone.

For the current plan, it is best to let everyone vent their anxiety and aim their anger at Luo Piaoling.

So, Yu Le replied very simply: "In order not to waste too much time, I will give you an example, so that you can have a clear understanding of the Shadow Eighteen Knights in half a cup of tea."

Xue Qinghuan said: "Then I'll be all ears."

Yu Ledao: "Master Xuege doesn't know about Eighteen Shadow Knights, but he must be familiar with 'Eighteen Eighteen Knights of Yanyun'?"

Xue Qinghuan's eyes flickered, and she was a little surprised and said: "Young Master Yu, you mean the Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen founded by Sui Hou in the legend?!"

Yu Ledao: "Master Xuege should understand that some things can be passed on orally for hundreds of years, not just legends."

Xue Qinghuan said: "It is rumored that the territory of Zhongzhou at that time was far smaller than it is now, and Sui Hou who guarded the northeast was a generation of iron-blooded generals. He not only guarded the northeast border for Zhongzhou, but also defeated Lihan with only [-] troops. Thousands of elite soldiers from the country, make them submit to Zhongzhou."

Yu Ledao: "Since Pavilion Master Xue has heard about this past incident, he must also know the details about Yanyun Eighteen Riders."

Xue Qinghuan said: "That is an elite cavalry brought out by Sui Hou. They wear cold clothes, wear machetes, wear barbarian boots, and carry big bows. Their appearance means death, and their purpose is to kill Zhige, and they are also maintaining the peace of the border area through some black means."

Yu Ledao: "It's a pity that the Zhongzhou area is rich in land and rich in products, so that foreigners from all walks of life covet it for a long time. It can be prevented for a while, but it cannot be prevented forever."

Xue Qinghuan said: "That's why Li Hanguo has been deliberate and planning for ten years before he dared to send troops to raid the northeast of Zhongzhou."

Yu Ledao: "Li Hanguo is well aware of the strength of Zhongzhou's national power. If they can't capture the city in a short period of time and use the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain to force Zhongzhou to abandon the Northeast, once Zhongzhou reacts in time, the only way to be bitten by Zhongzhou is to cede the land and give up power. For this reason, Lihan Kingdom dispatched five thousand elite soldiers to secretly march five hundred miles a day without camping or camping, until the last five hundred miles to launch a surprise attack."

Xue Qinghuan said: "Li Hanguo's actions are concealed enough, but it's a pity that he was caught by Yanyun's eighteen riders due to bad luck."

Yu Ledao: "Because it was a coincidence, they didn't have time to report back to the city. So, they decided to resolve this difficulty by themselves. The so-called talented people are bold, and only 18 people actually made a fool of Lihan's five thousand troops. They had to go round and round, causing thousands of deaths and injuries. Three days later, when the city noticed the fighting outside, the Marquis of Sui led his troops out of the city, and the remaining less than [-] Lihan soldiers either died or surrendered."

Xue Qinghuan said: "Later, the Marquis of Sui was ordered to go to the Lihan Kingdom, with Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry as the vanguard, followed by thousands of cavalry, and defeated Lihan again. In this battle, the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry went alone and drove straight into the enemy In the hinterland, cut off the head of the emperor of the Lihan Kingdom, and no one, man, woman, or child survived along the route. Although the method was cruel, it was the first person who contributed to this great victory."

Yu Ledao: "It is because of these two deeds that the Yanyun Eighteen Riders have become famous and are also regarded as the master of death."

Between the words of the two, the "Master of Death" thousands of years ago seemed to reappear in front of everyone, which made people awe-inspiring.

Xue Qinghuan took a deep breath, still in disbelief, and said, "Is all this true?"

Yu Ledao: "The Marquis of the Sui Dynasty is not false, Yanyun's Eighteen Riders are not false, and these deeds are not false."

Xue Qinghuan shook her head lightly, she realized that it is meaningless to ask whether what happened thousands of years ago is true or not.

The focus has to go back to the Eighteen Shadow Riders.

The Yanyun Eighteen Riders are famous for their viciousness, and the Shadow Eighteen Riders are nothing more than imitating them.

But its actions are secretive and few people have heard of it.

If the Yanyun Eighteen Riders are really as terrifying as the legend says, what about the Shadow Eighteen Riders?

What "great feats" do they have?

Xue Qinghuan's gaze stayed on Raven.

His hands were clenched tightly, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his face was slightly pained, as if he didn't want to think about the past.

Before Xue Qinghuan asked, Yu Le said directly: "Although the Eighteen Shadow Riders may not be as outstanding as Yanyun Eighteen Riders back then, at the beginning of its birth, it was based on the template of Yanyun Eighteen Riders. Trained."

Yu Le seemed to think of something that he thought was extremely interesting, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and said: "The imperial court sent some soldiers with a little wink to pick out the orphans who are worth cultivating and gather in one place. Hundreds of children, Being imprisoned in a place ten feet square, let them experience the way of survival."

The word "experience" Yu Le deliberately emphasized the tone, and Xue Qinghuan immediately understood what it meant.

Seeing that Raven had closed his eyes, he asked, "And the food provided to children every day is far from enough for a hundred people."

Yu Le smiled and said, "That's right. At first, the children still had good intentions and shared some food with each other so that everyone could survive."

Before she knew it, Xue Qinghuan clenched her fists tightly and said, "This kind of life will not last long after all."

Yu Ledao: "Of course, as the food becomes less and less, the viciousness of people will be fully revealed after eating hard to eat every day, even if they are still children. In less than two months, the hundred children will only have the most desperate desire to survive. Strong eighteen."

Although Yu Le mentioned it, Xue Qinghuan could still imagine how cruel and ruthless this process must be for these children.

He had to close his eyes, restrain his impulse, so as not to punch and kick Yu Le, who was still smiling, and then asked through his teeth: "What happened next?"

Yu Ledao: "Later, they were first sent to those sects of the rivers and lakes to learn their skills. After they matured, they entered the barracks to hone their skills. Then they were drawn into the secret training of the palace, and finally they were sent to General Shi Xinshi to teach him personally."

Xue Qinghuan opened her eyes, stared at Raven and said, "It is conceivable that after such devil training, the Shadow Eighteen Cavalry has become a team that not only possesses martial arts skills, but also has strict military discipline and strong tactical execution ability." team."

Yu Ledao: "Master Xuege has seen it very clearly. Speaking of the border wars by barbarians in Zhongzhou more than ten years ago, although the Dongying people in the east and the Oala people in the north were the main ones, the southwest border was not peaceful, and there were still many barbarians taking advantage of the fire to loot. Waiting for the opportunity. At that time, it was also the Eighteen Shadow Cavalry who descended from the sky and wiped out the thousands of light cavalry from the Yuelan and Feibin tribes who suddenly launched an attack. Only then did they buy enough time for General Shi to deploy defenses in the southwest region. The plan of the foreign barbarians is on the verge of failure."

Xue Qinghuan said: "In this way, Brother Raven and the others are really heroes of Zhongzhou."

After saying that, Xue Qinghuan stood up, bowed respectfully to Raven and the others, and then sat down.

Raven and the others were all taken aback when they saw this, and before they recovered, they heard Yu Le slowly say: "They can be called heroes, but if they are used by traitors, wouldn't they be a sharp weapon to harm the heavens?"
