Chapter 47 What do you mean by not fighting back!
The two stood in the space left by the crowd.
Xu Chong said, "We don't go out to fight with bare hands. This time we will use weapons!"
After Xu Chong finished speaking, he picked up a spear from the weapon rack beside him.
In his previous life, apart from firearms, Xiao Ning used the Tang sword the most. He rarely used the spear, but he was practicing it recently.
She had seen Xu Chong's abilities before. If he held an unsuitable weapon, he would probably lose it in just a few moves.
This man is wild, like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins. To tame him, one must be far more powerful than him.
Xiao Ning picked up a long sword that looked a bit like a Tang sword.
Xiao Ning waved twice.
It is a little heavier and longer than the Tang sword, but it is okay for her.
Xu Chong looked at Xiao Ning who was coming over with a long knife and frowned. "I'm holding a gun, what do you mean by holding a knife? Are you looking down on me?"
Xiao Ning swung his knife and stood tall, "My knife is enough to defeat you."
"Alright! Xiao Yanqing, if I don't beat you to tears today, I won't be called Xu Chong!"
After Xu Chong finished speaking, he swung his spear and rushed towards Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning dodged sideways, held his broadsword across his chest, and blocked the spear.
Xu Chong rushed over again.
Xu Chong was very strong, so Xiao Ning had to avoid his attack.
He attacks, she defends.
After more than a dozen rounds, there was not a single serious fight.
Xu Chong said angrily: "What do you mean by not fighting back!"
Xiao Ning smiled: "Guess."
This nonchalant look is so insulting.
"Xiao Yanqing!"
Xu Chong was furious, and the spear in his hand became disorderly and stabbed towards Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning seized the opportunity, and the broadsword collided with the gun, and it flew out of his hand and spun around. He then grabbed it with his other hand and pressed it directly against Xu Chong's neck.
Xu Chong kept thrusting out with his spear and stood still.
Xu Chong was angry: "It's that trick again! Don't you dare to compete with me properly? You are a coward!"
Xiao Ning pressed the knife in his hand deeper, and blood began to flow from Xu Chong's neck.
Xiao Ning laughed and said, "What tricks are there? Isn't war all about tactics and tactics? You rushed in like a reckless man. Who can you blame if you lose?"
Xu Chong was still unconvinced, "We are not fighting, we are competing!"
Xiao Ning was still smiling, looking refreshed and calm: "So what if we competed? I won."
"I don't accept it! You just provoked me. Let's have another fight! I definitely won't fall for your trick!"
"Okay, let's have another match."
Xiao Ning released the blade that was against Xu Chong's neck.
After the two men stood still, before Deputy Referee Li said start, Xu Chong rushed over like a cannonball.
The spear carrying Xu Chong's anger seemed to be raging.
This time, Xiao Ning had to work much harder to resist.
After a few moves, her palms were numb and her long sword almost slipped out of her hand.
She changed her strategy.
Seize the opportunity and switch from defense to offense.
The blade was sharp and moved at an extremely fast speed, heading straight towards Xu Chong's face.
Xu Chong was forced to draw his gun back to resist.
With just this one move, Xiao Ning took the initiative and the two switched offense and defense.
Xiao Ning was very fast and his moves were fierce and sharp. Every move of his sword was aimed at his vital points. It didn't seem like a sparring match, but rather like he was trying to kill him.
Xu Chong was sweating profusely while defending and gradually became exhausted.
In the end, Xiao Ning stabbed his neck with the tip of the knife. He retracted his force at the critical moment, but it still pierced Xu Chong's skin and blood came out.
The previous knife wound was still bleeding, and now there was a new wound, it looked quite tragic.
The soldiers watching on the side couldn't help but swallow.
Their captain is really powerful.
If the knife had not been retracted, Xu Chong would have been killed on the spot.
Xu Chong was completely convinced this time. He threw away his spear and bowed to Xiao Ning. "Captain Xiao, I was too arrogant. I thought I could do anything just because I had a few skills. I'm completely convinced of my defeat today!"
"From now on, I will be your loyal soldier. If you say go east, I will never go west!"
Xiao Ning: “…”
After just two fights, this guy gave in?
I thought it would take her a lot of effort!
There is no challenge at all.
Xiao Ning put away the knife and helped him up with one hand, "No need to be polite, we are brothers from now on."
Now that Xiao Ning's soldiers were cooperating well with each other, Zhou Jiang added their battalion to the patrol schedule for the North City.
On the day of patrol, Xiao Ning rode a horse, followed by dozens of soldiers, and patrolled the designated streets.
Because it was Xiao Ning's first patrol, Zhou Jiang assigned her to the relatively remote and less busy Xuanhefang.
The people living in Xuanhefang are wealthy people who run small businesses and generally do not cause trouble.
There would only be some trivial matters occasionally, but they would never come to Xiao Ning's attention.
Such days are fulfilling and simple, just like the peaceful and prosperous times she saw when she first came here.
But sometimes when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xiao Ning would still think of those unfair laws and regulations.
She said she would take it step by step, but at this point, she still had no idea.
During her leave, she secretly investigated and found out which officials were responsible for compiling laws in Dayong. She also took the opportunity to sound out their opinions.
They all think there is nothing wrong with the law.
Yes, they are the vested interests, how could they overturn the laws that protect them?
From the beginning to the end, the princess was the only one who thought that the law had shortcomings.
But the princess was afraid of being implicated, so he was unwilling to even tell her the officials and government offices that compiled the law, let alone join forces with her to change the unfair law.
If she wanted to fight against the entire feudal system, her own strength was not enough.
She could only do what she could within her ability.
Knowing that there was almost no charity in Dayong, she asked Yuzhu to use the money she had taken from the people in the Marquis' Mansion to set up a charity to adopt abandoned children.
On the day the charity hall was completed, Xiao Ning went to see it.
Yuzhu is efficient and the place she chose is secluded and spacious, which is pretty good.
After only a few days of construction, many abandoned babies were taken in.
But without exception, they were all girls.
The recruited female servants said, "This is already a family with a conscience. Some families will drown their newborn baby girls, saying the more tragic the death, the better, so that no baby girl will dare to be born into their family again."
Giving birth is difficult in the end times, but whenever a baby is born in the base, regardless of gender, he or she will be protected and pampered by everyone in the base, for fear that he or she will get hurt.
But the people here...
Xiao Ning pursed her lips. She went back and thought about it all night, and finally decided to write a memorial and have someone deliver it to the Forbidden City.
But there was no reply for several days.
She didn't know whether the emperor didn't read it or read it but ignored it.
In fact, this memorial had already been intercepted by Shang Xi's men.
The memorial was handed in in the morning and placed on the desk in Shang Xi's study at noon.
Shang Xi looked at the memorial and sighed.
He misunderstood her.
This person really wanted to change those wrong laws and bad habits, but this memorial alone would never be effective.
If he can stop this memorial, others can also stop it.
Such things would never appear on the emperor's desk.
And just based on that emperor...
Shang Xi showed a sarcastic smile on his face.
Even if he saw this memorial, he would not care about those innocent baby girls. Like everyone else, he would just think it was natural.
The people are just embellishments to his beautiful country.
He is good at glossing over the situation.
He only cared about whether his regime was stable and his reputation was spotless.
The group of ministers below were only concerned with fighting for power and developing their own forces.
Little did they know that they were just thinking puppets controlled by the imperial power.
They all rise and fall in the vortex of power and hinder each other.
Although Xiao Ning's memorial was written very tactfully and was full of flattery and compliments, as soon as it was submitted, she was destined to become a moth flying into the flame and turned into ashes in the tug-of-war between the emperor and his ministers.
