Zhu Su's hands and feet were tied, his mouth was gagged and he was twisted and packed in a box. Not only was his body numb, but he was also dizzy from being knocked around. How could he climb out on his own? He only tried to push up twice in the box.
, and can no longer move.
The expert man didn't make it difficult for him. He stretched out his hand and pulled him out. Only then did Zhu Su realize that it was already dark at night, and he didn't know what kind of wilderness this place was. There were only three horses in front of him that were led by the young man.
Outside the horse, there was only the big river in the distance, sparkling against the brilliance of the moon.
"Let's go quickly. We won't be safe until we get on the boat." The man carried a long sword and tied Zhu Su to the horse's butt like a dead pig. Then he picked up Li Jinglong in another box and tied him to the horse's buttocks.
Li Jinglong seemed to have been hit hard on the top of the other horse's buttocks, but he still didn't wake up. Zhu Su was quite worried about him.
However, these strong men did not understand what humane kidnapping was. The man thrust his sword into the butt of the horse pulling the cart. The horse screamed in pain and stumbled towards a side road, leaving heavy ruts.
Then he turned over and climbed onto Li Jinglong's horse and called out: "One horse per person, hurry up."
The two boys and girls nodded. The boy climbed onto Zhu Su's horse, and the girl climbed onto the only empty horse. The three of them galloped towards the riverside, speeding up their horses.
This jolt almost cost Zhu Su his remaining half of his life. After finally waiting for his body to stop shaking, he arrived at the riverside. The man pursed his lips and blew into the river.
The howling river wind at night instantly carried the whistle sound far away.
"...That's strange. Why didn't old Uncle Wu come?" I heard the young man on the saddle in front mutter.
The man's face also tightened, and he pursed his lips and blew, sending the whistle sound farther.
After waiting for a while, there was still only the vast river water flowing continuously, and no ships that were supposed to be here to meet them were seen.
"No! It's the cavalry from the guard station!" The young man's face turned pale with fright, and the girl was also frightened, and she drew out the long sword from her waist.
"It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay..." Zhu Biao was almost in tears. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and squeezed out a smile: "If something happens to you, how can I explain it to my parents?"
"Let him go quickly! I can spare your nine clans and give him a way to live!"
"Brother, I'm fine..." After escaping from death, Zhu Su felt sore all over. Seeing his eldest brother Zhu Biao being so concerned about him, even though he was a man of two generations, he couldn't help but feel a sense of security that someone could rely on him.
"Fifth brother!" Zhu Biao screamed miserably!
Zhu Su also felt a chill in his heart. He saw that the young man had led him to the riverside, and the figures of his eldest brother Zhu Biao and adopted brother Mu Ying were getting further and further away...
When he said a few words, his voice was deliberately vague. Zhu Biao couldn't help but listen carefully. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man suddenly stepped forward and drew his sword to stab Zhu Biao!
Zhu Su felt a pain in his buttocks and was thrown to the ground by the fallen horse. A face flew in front of him, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Dog? How can you be a bastard?"
"Just leave these matters to brother and dad. Let's go home and prepare a delicious meal for you first."
"Let's go!" It was the same girl, whose equestrian skills were amazing for such a young age. She scooped up the young man with a low body, glared at Zhu Su on the ground, and the two of them immediately ran towards the depths of the road.
Zhu Su saw that his sworn brother also had a worried look on his face, so he reluctantly smiled at him. Only then did he feel that he had regained consciousness in his feet and reluctantly stood up.
"But Uncle Ma!" The girl seemed to be still hesitating.
The young man led Zhu Su, who was whining and screaming, and turned the horse to escape. The girl glanced at the man reluctantly and turned the horse's head.
"Sister, Uncle Ma has lost his horse and can't leave!" The young man hurriedly grabbed the girl. Then he turned to the man named Ma and whispered: "Don't worry, Uncle Ma, my brother will never forget you."
A great favor!”
"Thief! Don't hurt my brother!" Zhu Biao's voice sounded from behind.
"Who else could there be? They are just ants trying to shake the tree!" Zhu Biao snorted coldly. He had followed Lao Zhu to observe the state affairs for a long time. How could he not know that there were many bold and rebellious people everywhere in the Ming Dynasty?
I thought it was just some ringworm disease, but I didn't expect that it would dare to run wild at the emperor's feet...
The pursuers behind him arrived in a moment. Zhu Su saw that his eldest brother Zhu Biao was wearing a suit of armor and riding a horse at the front of the cavalry team. His sworn brother Mu Ying held a spear in his hand and guarded Zhu Biao.
.
But the big man still attacked Zhu Biao desperately, so how could the cavalry have any chance to breathe?
Mu Ying hurriedly raised her hand crossbow and wanted to shoot an arrow into the boy's back. Seeing that something was wrong, the man threw out his sword and intercepted the crossbow arrow in the air!
The man quickly turned his horse's head and prepared to crawl to the nearby hill. He heard two bow strings ringing, and two sharp arrows shot out from the grass. One sharp arrow hit the man's horse, and the other hit Zhu Su.
Although this man was good at martial arts, he was not good at horsemanship. The arrow penetrated the horse's eye and he died immediately and could not die again.
"Brother, what are the backgrounds of these thieves? Do you have any clue?" When the Jiang wind blew, his chaotic mind suddenly calmed down a little. Zhu Su asked Zhu Biao, judging from what these people had said before, it was obvious that they were targeting him.
The identity of Lao Zhu’s family comes from him. He keeps claiming that he is a fake dynasty and a fake emperor.
The little eunuch dog knocked down the galloping horse, quickly took out his dagger, and cut the rope tied behind the horse three times. The young man was pushed over by the horse and pressed against its leg. He looked up to the sky and screamed in pain, and the horse swayed and crawled away.
When he got up, he was still rolling on the ground in pain.
At the intersection, a long dragon composed of a series of torches was speeding towards here.
Zhu Biao touched Zhu Su's head. On the rocks, two brothers were showing respect to each other. The moonlight was thick by the river. The shadows of the two brothers were reflected in the river, harmoniously like an ink painting.
"...I'm afraid Old Wu is broken. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better to hurry up..." The man said in a deep voice. Before he finished speaking, his face was already shocked.
"The reason why I rob people is because I only want wealth. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince can come up with gold...two..."
"Brother!" Zhu Su was overjoyed! He never thought that his gentle eldest brother would be the first to catch up. He wanted to shout twice, but his mouth was tightly gagged and he only uttered a few "
"Woo" sound.
Seeing that Zhu Su was about to be taken away, Zhu Biao hurriedly shouted: "Leave me alone! Save the fifth brother first!"
"I won't make it at home. Brother will go to the restaurant himself and give you the best!"
Zhu Biao saw Zhu Su tied behind the horse at a glance. His eyes were splitting as he shouted loudly: "Rebellious traitor! How dare you treat my brother like this!"
There was a sharp "yeah" sound from the side of the sudden, and a small body rushed out from the thorn, and slammed into the young man's belly!
"What..." The young man was caught off guard. Although the figure was small, it was powerful. The galloping horse was hit by such a collision and fell directly towards the rocks on the riverside.
The cavalry were also frightened. Some hurriedly wanted to surround Zhu Biao, while others hurriedly wanted to kill the big man. The scene suddenly became chaotic. The big man suddenly shouted back: "Go quickly! Don't look back!"
Zhu Su had never seen his eldest brother so angry since he was a child. He pointed his halberd at the man angrily, and the aura on his face was even more impressive than that of his own father, Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Oh, Crown Prince Zhu Ming, what a powerful force." Facing this scene, the two boys and girls couldn't help but flinch, but the man had already gotten up, snorted coldly, raised his chin and stared at Zhu Biao.
"When the prince heard that something happened to you, he was so anxious that he even didn't wear his boots and wanted to lead his troops to find you." Mu Ying came over from behind. "Fortunately, it was too late. Thanks to a military commander from the Guards Division, he saw them from the watchtower.
The carriage is suspicious..."
"..." The man surnamed Ma did not answer. He only glanced at the girl. Then he turned to look at Zhu Biao: "It would be easy for me to let her go."
He glanced behind him coldly, and saw that the big man was covered in scars and had fainted due to excessive blood loss. He was now tied up with five flowers and captured in the hands of two sergeants.
On the other hand, the young man on Zhu Su's side reined in his horse, and the horse stood upright, dodging the cold arrow. It almost knocked Zhu Su out again.
The dog removed the rope for Zhu Su and captured the man there. Zhu Biao rode up to Zhu Su, got off the horse with a rolling saddle, pushed the dog away, hugged Zhu Su and looked up and down:
"Fifth brother, fifth brother! Are you okay?"
Could it be that there are still remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty on this land of the Central Plains?
But Zhu Su saw his lips move slightly and secretly said to the back: "You two, leave quickly, I will come to the rear."
"How dare you, thief!" Mu Ying shouted, and immediately rode forward to hold the man's sword with his spear.
The cavalry brought by Zhu Biao cheered and surrounded the three horses. The torches in the hands of the soldiers illuminated the riverside on this summer night as if it were daytime.
Just as Zhu Su was about to nod, he saw from the corner of his eye that the eyelashes of the big man who should have fainted moved slightly. He couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly reached out to grab Zhu Biao.
"Brother, be careful..."
Zhu Biao was stunned, and felt a strong force coming from his side. The scarred man broke away from the two sergeants at some point, jumped up high with his legs, and hit Zhu Biao's side with his head...
"Plop", Zhu Su did not catch Zhu Biao after all, and Zhu Biao fell into the river under the rocks with the clear moon reflected in front of him...
