The Peculiar War God of the Song Dynasty
As they walked forward, Qin Feng recounted those heroic deeds.
It all started with the harmful Black Market, which was involved in extortion and murder, and the two groups of Bandits, each more formidable than the last, who managed to easily capture the Imperial Guard commander.
In the end, they used a scheme to blow up thousands of golden figures, but this also sparked a fierce debate between the peace faction and the war faction, which was quite troublesome.
There were dozens or even hundreds of Cavalry passing by, all riding on Warhorses. Some were on routine patrols, while others were on special missions.
Some were heading out of the Imperial Cavalry camp, all equipped with plenty of weapons, likely going out to carry out tasks.
Di Wu listened carefully, finding it quite interesting, as if he were listening to a story. However, it was filled with real dangers along the way!
He smiled and said, "I used to hear that Brother Qin was famously afraid of his wife. I didn't expect you to bring back a Great Beauty as a concubine. Your temperament has certainly changed; seeing is believing. This gentle woman must be quite comfortable in bed."
"A man should have three wives and four concubines; looking at that old hag would surely be annoying. Having two gentle and beautiful concubines is just perfect—it's only natural!"
Qin Feng burst into laughter at his words. In ancient times, it was certainly normal; which High Official didn't have a couple of beautiful concubines to enjoy at night?
His superior was a Military Official, also a vigorous man, so it was only natural for him to have several wives to be so open about it.
They laughed together; having a few charming concubines was indeed delightful.
The commanders of the Duties of the Imperial Guard Commander Liu Xian and the Imperial Guards also laughed along. Throughout history, heroes have always found it difficult to resist beautiful women; taking concubines was nothing unusual.
Di Wu chuckled and said, "Brother Qin, you don't need to keep calling me 'Sir.' We are all vigorous men here, unlike those Civil Officials who are so restrained. Just call me Wu Ge like these commanders."
Qin Feng felt a sudden emotional surge; indeed, it was easy to communicate with a carefree warrior who casually referred to him as a brother. It was truly wonderful.
“Wu Ge, from now on I will call you Five Brother, and you can call me Brother Qin.”
Di Wu felt delighted. Having a brother who was dedicated to the country made him feel honored, especially since they had devised a plan to eliminate so many Jin Bing. It was truly satisfying and boosted the morale of the troops.
He noticed a commander dressed in Black Armor and shouted loudly.
“Just now, Brother Qin mentioned matters concerning your Deputy Commander-in-Chief, who has been eliminating bandits and killing Jin Bing. Hurry to the military camp and spread the word everywhere to inspire our troops. Those Jin Bing only know how to use brute force and lack intelligence; they are not to be feared. Go promote this!”
He understood that the army of the Great Song Dynasty, stationed at Tokyo City and near the Western Xia with the Western Route Army, was the strongest. The soldiers from Wang Bin Taiyuan were formidable as well.
The other armies were too weak; they not only lacked regular training but also idled away their time, unable to hold out for long. The Jin Invaders would eventually reach Tokyo City.
Thus, it was essential to boost morale; when morale is high, victory is assured, but when it falters, defeat is inevitable.
The heroic deeds of brothers on their journey served as an example, perfectly capable of igniting their fighting spirit and making them even braver.
The commander shouted enthusiastically and mounted a brownish-yellow Warhorse, heading towards the main army.
Qin Feng was also a clever person and understood that these actions aimed to inspire morale, making the spirit of the Great Song army stronger in order to defeat the Jin Kingdom.
However, why did this Five Brother seem to be straying further away? Instead of heading towards the crowded military camp, he was moving towards the outskirts? It appeared increasingly empty, with fewer soldiers around.
They unexpectedly arrived at a large open area that seemed to be a training ground for the Imperial Guards, but it had ended, and they were returning to the camp to rest.
The smile on Di Wu's face grew fainter, while his killing intent became increasingly intense.
Turning around, he said, "Brother Qin, this Deputy Commander position is not an ordinary job; it is one above thousands, so you must have good skills, and of course, horsemanship is essential. Get on the horse, and let me test your abilities!"
"You need to give it your all; I will also do my best to strike you. If you get hurt, don't blame me for not warning you."
He boldly mounted a nearby Black Warhorse and took a Great Longsword from a commanding officer's hand, nearly two meters long, radiating a strong killing intent.
Qin Feng appeared somewhat surprised and felt a sense of fear. Since he was going all out, did that mean he was going to strike with lethal force?
Just moments ago, he had been laughing and friendly; now he seemed so cold, as if facing an enemy. What did this mean?
Not immediately getting on the horse, he asked Liu Xian beside him to understand what was going on.
Liu Xian looked surprised but not like Qin Feng. He already knew about the boss's habit of wanting to engage in real combat; that was what true brotherhood meant.
He explained, "This is the boss's habit and also the final test to see if one is fit for the Deputy Commander position. As long as you pass, you'll be the second-in-command here, respected by thousands."
"If you fail, then it's back home to nurse your wounds! The boss is serious about this; people often get hurt. Some are severely injured while others just need a bit of rest and can continue being the second-in-command."
Qin Feng felt a wave of fear; they were indeed going all out, which meant someone would definitely get hurt.
He hadn't expected this final hurdle would involve real weapons and combat. Indeed, the Deputy Commander position was not something just anyone could handle.
Realizing that there was no turning back at this point, he knew he had to fight with all his strength. He should be able to pass; his physical condition was decent.
He climbed onto another Black Warhorse nearby from the Cavalry Barracks, which surprisingly had a bow and several arrows on it.
He also drew the Broadsword from his Black Armor; a brilliant white light surged forth, truly sharp and formidable.
The Deputy Commander's saber was indeed extraordinary, made from top-quality materials and quite heavy, over a meter long.
Di Wu urged his Black Warhorse forward, wielding his Broadsword as he charged at him, his eyes filled with murderous intent, ready for a real fight.
Qin Feng also raised his Great Longsword and swung it toward him.
The two high-grade weapons clashed together, producing a violent sound of metal colliding, filled with power.
When the Long Sword struck his Broadsword, his hand shook violently; it was truly powerful, much stronger than his own strength, and he knew he couldn't win.
After several hard strikes, Di Wu changed his approach. Instead of attacking his upper body, he aimed for Qin Feng's thigh, showing no mercy as if he were killing an enemy.
Although Qin Feng wasn't as strong as him, he had sharp reflexes and managed to dodge the incoming attacks, narrowly avoiding being incapacitated.
After enduring dozens of exchanges, he noticed that his Broadsword was now full of nicks and looked like a worn-out blade despite being new just moments ago.
He said, "Wu Ge, this sword is already useless; I concede. The testing should end here; I should be qualified."
Di Wu did not respond. The last exchange had passed them by, and they were now more than ten meters apart.
Suddenly, Di Wu turned red like a crazed beast and continued to raise his Broadsword, charging at him again.
Liu Xian and the others realized that their leader was having another episode. Whenever he fought with enthusiasm, he would unleash intense killing intent and wouldn't stop until he knocked his opponent off their horse.
Those dozens of exchanges were truly fierce—something they could not match.
He shouted, "Brother Qin, the boss is having another episode! He won't let go until he knocks you off your horse. We can't stop him; you need to run—run as far away as possible! Once he comes to his senses, it will all be over."
Qin Feng seemed to understand that the reason he was becoming increasingly ruthless was due to his illness, which fueled his murderous intent, as if he wanted to chop himself into pieces.
He urged the Warhorses beneath him to run far away quickly, planning to return later.
However, the Warhorses unexpectedly drooped their heads, appearing resigned to their fate, and stood still.
Perhaps seeing the opponent's horse was so formidable made them give up, knowing they wouldn't be killed.
He found it both amusing and infuriating; his broken knife was useless, so he tossed it aside onto the ground.
His archery skills were the best, and his eyesight was sharp. Why not shoot Di Wu off his horse and bring him back to his senses?
He casually picked up the bow and an arrow hanging from the saddle and quickly aimed at the front hooves of the Warhorses.
The ordinary arrow flew like the wind and struck the hoof of the Black Horse, piercing through it.
Naturally, a few centimeters of a wound appeared, with red blood oozing out.
The Black Warhorses let out loud cries, roaring as their front hooves suddenly lifted off the ground.
Di Wu did not expect the horse to suddenly lift its body into the air, entering a state of frenzy.
He only knew to defeat his opponent and was not clear-headed enough to dodge.
With a loud crash, he fell to the ground and lay there.
The Long Sword also dropped beside him but was a bit far away, not injuring him. He was still wearing sturdy yellow armor.
The commanders of the Imperial Guard quickly rushed over. Qin Feng had such audacity; he only let him escape, yet he shot the leader. This would surely result in severe punishment.
Di Wu lay motionless on the ground, not knowing what had happened.
Qin Feng also felt scared. Could it be that he was seriously injured from the fall? A horse runs so fast, falling off would definitely cause injury.
He rode over and shouted, "Wu Ge, are you okay? Don't scare me, brother. I truly didn't mean it; I just wanted you to stop chasing me."
Di Wu slowly began to move, lifting his face from the ground, which was covered in dust, making him look somewhat disheveled.
Suddenly, he burst into laughter, sending dust flying around his face.
"I have to admit, Brother Qin, your cleverness is impressive. Shooting the hooves of the warhorses caused me to fall and wake up. You truly have the talent of a commander. I, Di Wu, acknowledge you; you have qualified."
"From now on, you will be the Deputy Commander of my Cavalry and my Military Commander as well. You will be my assistant in our joint effort to defeat the Jin Invaders."
Qin Feng laughed along with him. It was a relief; everything turned out well. If something had gone wrong, he would have been in big trouble.
