As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Even though Wei Gang was very good at martial arts, he still found it difficult to face so many people.
After fighting for several rounds, Wei Gang gradually became at a disadvantage.
He knew that procrastinating like this was not an option, so he found a direction and prepared to break out.
At this time, the woman standing not far away seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said loudly: "He wants to run! Stop him!"
After giving the order, the besieging soldiers tightened the encirclement, hoping to capture Lieutenant Gang in one fell swoop.
The ice and snow sword in Wei Gang's hand showed its power. With one sweeping move, everyone's weapons were broken into two pieces wherever the sword struck!
A "clang, clang, clang, clang" sound resounded all around. Wei Gang found the opportunity, jumped vertically and horizontally, rushed out of the encirclement, and headed into the woods.
Seeing that he was about to escape, Nalanke gritted his teeth, took the bow from the archer on the side, drew the bow to full capacity, and released an arrow suddenly!
In an instant, a sharp arrow pierced the air, ran straight towards Wei Gang, and stabbed into his shoulder!
When the others saw this, they wanted to chase him, but Nalank stopped him: "There is no need to chase him, there is blood sealing powder on the arrow, and he won't survive."
As he said that, he threw the bow and arrow to the archer on the side: "I didn't expect that Li Qi doesn't look like much, but he has many capable men."
"Your Highness, shall we go find the Imperial Master next?" the woman on the side asked.
Nalank said: "What are you doing with her? I get annoyed when I see her, so go back."
Something flashed in the woman's eyes and she said no more.
…
Daxia's army traveled day and night, and when they returned to Kyoto, it was already the beginning of spring of the second year.
This speed is not too slow, but for Li Qi, this is simply too painful.
Running all the way, not only did his skin darken, but he also lost a lot of weight.
"If you go back this time, you won't go out even if you kill me." Li Qi looked at the familiar city gate not far away and said.
Tang Yun smiled and said: "Sir, when we get back to the house, I will make you some health-preserving soup to replenish your health."
"I don't need the health soup, but I must have a good meal. During this period of time, I eat dry food every day, and I almost turn into dry food." Li Qi complained, "But that damn fat guy Su Yingxiong, I'm afraid if he stays in Kyoto
I don’t know how fat I’ve become.”
After the army returned to their respective military camps, the generals also returned to their mansions.
Li Qi stayed in the military camp for an entire afternoon before being notified that he could go home.
After such a long separation, Li Qi almost couldn't find his own house.
As soon as he arrived at the house, Su Yingxiong had already prepared everything, and all the servants in the house came out to greet him.
That posture is quite impressive.
Seeing that Su Yingxiong gained weight again, Li Qi felt very unhappy.
Damn it, I'm working my ass off outside, but this damn fat guy got an advantage!
He is a good boy. He is staying here. Who is the master?
In addition to Su Yingxiong, Zhang Chuang and Xiao Man also came to greet them.
Xiaoman has also gained a lot of weight, and his face has become chubby, almost unrecognizable unless you look carefully.
Zhang Chuang, on the other hand, still looked as dead as before.
"Brother Li! You're finally back!" Su Yingxiong burst into tears, making the other one burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? It's like crying in mourning. I'm not dead yet!" Li Qi said angrily.
"Brother Li, do you know that during these days when you were on the expedition, I was always worried and thinking about you..."
"Stop it!" Li Qi sneered, "I think you were quite happy during my absence, right? Look how fat you have become."
Su Yingxiong smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Li, I'm turning my grief into food..."
Li Qi was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked in. The servants greeted him one after another. Many maids even held ribbons and held a welcome ceremony.
After arriving at the hall, I saw a huge round table filled with all kinds of delicacies.
Seeing this, Li Qi's depression gradually disappeared.
Damn it, this damn fat guy still has some conscience.
"Brother Li, how are you?" Su Yingxiong asked with a smile, "This is the welcome feast I specially prepared for you."
Li Qi walked over and sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks and started eating without saying a word.
Seeing Li Qi devouring his food so voraciously, Su Yingxiong's tears began to fall again.
"What are you doing?" Li Qi glared at him angrily, "I'm eating right now, why are you crying?"
"Brother Li, you must have been suffering outside during this time... I have never seen you eat like this before." Su Yingxiong wiped the tears on his face.
"Damn fat man, do you want so many scenes? If you want to cry, go out and cry. Don't affect my eating."
When Li Qi said this, Su Yingxiong immediately changed his face and put on a smiling face: "Brother Li, is it delicious? I asked the chef to prepare these dishes yesterday. Early this morning
Then I got busy... This is the autumn water chicken from Guangcheng, this is the freshwater fish from Baicheng, this is incredible, and these are the green bamboo shoots from Guanshan Temple..."
"Okay, okay, can you be quiet for a while and wait until I finish eating?" Li Qi said angrily.
Su Yingxiong heard this and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Li, you eat first, and I will prepare bath water and clothes for you."
Li Qi waved his hand: "Go, go."
After picking up a few more dishes with chopsticks, Li Qi saw that Tang Yun was still standing and quickly asked her to sit down and eat.
"Sir, please eat slowly." Tang Yun said with a smile.
Li Qi licked his lips and said: "Finally, I can have a fresh meal. This damn fat man can only eat more reliably."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Man and Zhang Chuang who were standing aside: "You guys are eating too? What are you doing standing there?"
Xiao Man touched his round belly and said, "Master, we already ate before you came back."
Li Qi was stunned and wanted to ask something, but Xiao Man said: "Then you eat slowly, Zhang Wewei and I will go to the back garden for a walk."
With that said, the two of them left in a hurry.
Grandma, let me tell you, why are these daily foodies so inactive when they arrive at a restaurant? I bet they have all eaten?
In other words, what I am eating now are leftovers?
Damn fat man! I’m not done with you!
The days back at home made Li Qi completely relaxed. He didn't expect anything else now. As long as he could live here, he would be thankful.
It's a pity that he also knows that this is impossible. After all, so many things happened during this expedition, and he also lost the battle. The situation in Kyoto is not good.
Although things are calm now, Li Qi knows very well that there will be some bloody storms in the near future. This is the so-called calm before the blizzard.
As long as the struggle for imperial power does not end, I will not be able to live a peaceful life...
