Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 36 Escort
  The effect of the flash bomb not only caused the armor to be hit in the fifth turn, but also affected the eyes of the nearby men in black robes.

Xia Shouzhong kept staring at the battlefield. When the flash of light appeared, he quickly closed his eyes, but it was already too late, and his eyes were also blurry.

Fortunately, he was far away and not involved in the battle, so it would be nice to take it easy.

"Ah!" He heard Emperor Jingwen exclaim, which was even more nervous than him being hit.

"Master, are you okay?" he asked urgently.

"It's okay. What kind of ability is this? How can it be so powerful?" Emperor Jingwen's eyes only blurred for a moment, and he quickly recovered. This place was some distance away from Jia Qiang, so the impact was relatively small. He asked curiously road.

"Master, this is not a general's method. I just heard the boy from the Jia family shouting 'Five Thunder Zhengfa'. It should be a Taoist method!" Xia Shouzhong replied respectfully.

"Not all Taoist methods are magical. I have never seen one with such power!" Emperor Jingwen shook his head and said.

Xia Shouzhong did not see Emperor Jingwen's eyes. The eyes that recovered were full of probing curiosity.

Emperors in the past dynasties have opposed and supported Taoism, but no matter what, Taoism is still very attractive to emperors.

Daqian set up the Daolu Division, with the highest level being the Sixth Grade and the First Grade. There is also the vacant position of National Preceptor. This is the position of Super Grade, but the position of National Preceptor has always been vacant.

Among the people, some Taoist masters were awarded the title of several heavenly masters and real people. These are proof that the emperor paid attention to Taoism.

Emperor Jingwen had met several real people, but no real person had such miraculous means as Jia Qiang.

Even the fifth-level masters fell under the "Five Thunder Method" in an instant. Even if the army wanted to kill a fifth-level master wearing armor, without the participation of experts of the same level, they would not be able to kill him without the participation of the masters of the same level. A hundred or more sergeants couldn't do it.

On the other side, Jia Qiang began to harvest the lives of the men in black robes. His speed was at full speed, reaching 11 meters per second, allowing him to kill most of the men in black robes before their eyesight could recover.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with screams, and the men in black robes who lost their sight were killed one by one with big guns.

Even if the black-robed man's vision recovered, it would be too late to escape.

"Student Jia Qiang pays homage to the Holy One, the rebels have been destroyed!" Jia Qiang put down the big gun, came to the carriage, knelt down and said honestly.

The ritual of kneeling and worshiping is somewhat unacceptable to souls in another world, but in this world, one must abide by the rules of this world.

Kneeling down to the emperor and ancestors are all rituals. This is an era of observing etiquette.

Jia Qiang is pretty good. Not long after he came to this world, he was selected as a scholar, so that he didn't need to kneel down when facing ordinary officials.

Otherwise, too many people would need to kneel down and worship, which would be unbearable.

"Student? Are you a scholar?" Emperor Jingwen in the carriage was slightly startled when he heard Jia Qiang's self-identification, and then asked.

Xia Shouzhong was also looking at Jia Qiang. He would never regard Jia Qiang, who was a fifth-level master at a young age, as a scholar.

A scholar who calls himself a student must at least have a reputation.

"The student is a student of the Imperial College, and he became a scholar two years ago!" Jia Qiang replied truthfully.

"Your surname is Jia, what does it have to do with Ning Rong's government?" Emperor Jingwen asked next.

"The student was expelled from Jia Mansion by Ningguo Mansion two years ago, and now he has severed ties with Jia Mansion!" When Jia Qiang heard Emperor Jingwen ask this, of course he had to make it clear.

He almost lost his life in order to cut off contact with the Jia family. Even so, he was oppressed by the Jia family many times.

"You get up first, and you will be rewarded when you protect me back to the palace!" Emperor Jingwen ordered noncommittally.

It is not safe here. Although the man in black robe has been killed, he has not yet joined the army and may be assassinated again at any time.

"Please, Your Majesty, give that set of armor to the students!" Jia Qiang begged at this time.

"That's right!" Emperor Jingwen agreed without any hesitation.

Jia Qiang, not to mention Emperor Jingwen, never thought that a fifth-level master with armor and a fifth-level master without armor had completely different combat capabilities.

If Jia Qiang had armor before, he wouldn't have needed to be so careful. Not to mention more than a hundred men in black robes, even if there were several times more, he could move back and forth freely among them.

The men in black robes only had long swords and flying knives in their hands, neither of which could break the armor and posed no threat to the armor. I don't know if there is any danger in the future. Jia Qiang will be able to exert stronger combat power after wearing the armor, which will be beneficial to Emperor Jingwen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jia Qiang was overjoyed and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

He came to the corpse of the fifth-level master and began to take off the armor. When he took off the visor, he was shocked.

The face under the visor does not look like a human face at all. It is a face without a trace of intact skin. It is impossible to judge its original appearance from the face.

He shook his head, guessing that this was the dead man.

It's just someone who can regard a fifth-level master as a dead soldier. What kind of identity does that require?

"What does this have to do with me?" Jia Qiang shook her head quickly, not daring to consider the identity of the person behind this incident.

He quickly put on the armor, and the six large shield guards on the other side were divided into left and right sides, protecting the carriage in the middle. Xia Shouzhong personally pulled up the carriage.

"Jia Qiang, hurry up and follow me!" Xia Shouzhong shouted, pulling up the carriage and heading in one direction.

Jia Qiang put on her armor and hurried after him. When he passed six good horses pulling the carriage, he found that four of them were still alive.

Although the four good horses were alive, their injuries were very serious, especially the horses' legs were completely broken, which means the good horses had strong vitality to support them until now.

I believe that it won't take long for these four good horses to die from serious injuries like the other two good horses.

Jia Qiang looked at the carriage going away. He hesitated for a moment, and then gently stroked the four good horses with his hands.

"Collect it!" he thought in his mind.

Four good horses disappeared, and there were four more horse tags 'Horse Tag [Good Grade 1]' in his inventory.

His Xiao Hei died in the battle before. Xiao Hei was only an 'Ordinary Grade 1', but these four good horses were 'Good Grade 1'. He didn't know much about the grades of horse cards. He remembered the horses in the game. The cards are divided into 'ordinary products, good products, treasure products and divine products'.

But this is the real world, and even the horses used by emperors to travel are only high-quality horses. He doesn't know if there are treasures and divine horses in this world.

After collecting four good horses, he was in a good mood and chased after the carriage.

He is very fast. His armor weighs less than a hundred kilograms. With the big gun in his hand and a long sword on his waist, the weight is very limited for him and will not affect his speed.

The long sword belongs to a fifth-grade master. The long sword collided with the big gun head-on and was not damaged at all.

You must know that a big spear is a long weapon, and it is extremely powerful when swung with full force. The long sword can resist it. In addition to the strength of the fifth-grade master, the long sword is of excellent quality.

Jia Qiang followed the carriage. He ran on the side of the carriage, separated by three large shield guards.

He knew very well that although he saved Emperor Jingwen, he was not a close associate of Emperor Jingwen and could not get too close to Emperor Jingwen to avoid misunderstandings.

Besides, the rescue was successful this time, and his performance was good enough, so he didn't need to show off too much.

As he ran, he paid attention to his newly acquired long sword. The scabbard was very plain and without any marks.

This is normal. The fifth-level master is a dead soldier. How can he do something fancy on the scabbard in a high-profile manner?

However, when he collected the long sword, he found three small characters on the sword's spine, "Qingfeng Sword".

Fortunately, the three small characters "Qingfeng Sword" are not obvious. In addition, they are on the spine of the sword and cannot be found without drawing the sword.

The hilt and handle of the sword are extremely ordinary, and when paired with the scabbard, the appearance of this sword is almost invisible among other long swords. This allows him to wear the 'Qingfeng Sword' with him.

The dagger he had before turned into a utility knife when he grew to 1.8 meters.

As a scholar, he could carry a sword with him.

What makes him most proud is the newly acquired armor, which was given by the emperor. He can use this armor freely in the future.

If he wasn't on the road, he would have taken off his armor and studied it carefully. This was the first set of armor he got. Only with armor can he display his combat power.
