"Achan, we can't escape, so we might as well surrender. He has promised not to kill us," Prince Zhu Cixiang, who was riding behind, said with a pale face and a trembling voice.
Zhu Huichan was not as weak as his younger brother. While urging the horse hard, he said loudly: "No, if we surrender, our lives will be difficult to save. How can we believe what the robber said?"
From the beginning of her escape, Zhu Huichan had galloped for more than ten miles. She didn't know the path at all. She was anxious to escape and didn't choose a path. She didn't know if she was taking the original path, and the red-bearded man on the black horse behind her was chasing her more and more. As they got closer, the two horses were only about ten feet apart.
If he continues like this and runs five or six miles at most, he will definitely be overtaken.
But at this moment, Zhu Huichan suddenly saw a piece of light faintly revealed in the darkness far ahead, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart. Since the light was there, it was probably a market town. As long as she could escape to the market town, the people behind her would be there. The red-bearded robber should have some scruples.
Zhu Huichan tried her best to hit the horse, looking for the direction of the light and galloping. However, at this moment, there was a heavy sound breaking through the air suddenly from behind, followed by a muffled "poof" sound, and the horse neighed sadly and lost control. The hoof fell straight down.
The horse fell down, and both Zhu Huichan and Zhu Cixiang were thrown out and fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, there was soft grass growing beside the road here. Although they felt pain when they fell on it, they were not injured.
Zhu Huichan rolled on the grass for more than ten feet before stopping. Looking back in panic, she saw the horse lying on the ground and screaming miserably. Its hind legs were dripping with blood. One of its right hoofs had been severed and it was stuck upside down in the road. The thing he was holding was the giant steel ax that Wanyan Lei was carrying.
It turned out that the horse's hind hooves were actually chopped off by a steel axe. This steel axe was so thick that Wanyan Lei could throw it ten feet away. His physical strength was so great that he was worthy of being called " The nickname "Toshan Beast".
Ten feet away, the horse galloped and arrived in a blink of an eye. Before Zhu Huichan could get up from the ground, Wanyan Lei had already galloped forward, bent down and picked up the steel ax stuck in the ground.
Wanyan Lei jumped off the horse and came towards Zhu Huichan with a giant ax. Zhu Huichan was frightened, turned over and crawled back, but heard a "clang", and the gleaming steel ax was inserted in front of her eyes. He hit her arm within an inch of his life.
The red-bearded man threw the giant axe. Seeing that Zhu Huichan was so frightened that he did not dare to move, he smiled and said: "Little girl, I just told you to surrender and you refused to listen. Now you have nowhere to escape, right?"
Zhu Huichan said: "What do you want? If you dare to hurt us, you will definitely regret it."
Wanyan Lei came closer, suddenly stretched out his big hand, pinched Zhu Huichan's chin, and said: "My little girl's skin is indeed very beautiful, she is a top quality product. Uncle Wanyan will not kill you, but will be gentle with you first." , and then send it to the slave market, and you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price,"
Zhu Huichan wanted to pry the red-bearded man's hand away, but she couldn't do it. She was frightened and angry and shouted loudly: "I am Princess Kunyi of the Ming Dynasty. If you dare to offend me, are you not afraid of killing your head and destroying your family?"
Wanyan Lei laughed "haha" and said: "You are a princess, so today Uncle Wanyan will be a sidekick."
As he spoke, he grabbed and pulled with his right hand, and with a "chi" sound, Zhu Huichan's shirt had been torn in large pieces.
Although Zhu Huichan was pinned down by Li Hu in the carriage before, it was an unintentional move when the two were fighting. Later on, the Bull Demon King never violated her again, but now seeing Wanyan Lei There was a lewd smile on a face full of red beard, and a pair of big hands grabbed at her body. Zhu Huichan felt a burst of despair in her heart. It seemed that being bullied today was inevitable.
Prince Zhu Cixiang fell to the side and was so frightened that he could not even get up and run away.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard from far away, and a long roar was heard, which resounded throughout the forest.
Wanyan Lei frowned, let go of Zhu Huichan, reached out and grabbed the steel ax next to him, turned around and saw a horse galloping over the mountain road. The person riding on the horse holding a short blade was the one who had been surrounded earlier. of young people.
Of course, Wanyan Lei was very familiar with the abilities of his subordinates. It was indeed beyond Wanyan Lei's expectation that this young man broke out of the encirclement and chased after them so quickly.
Seeing Li Huchi approaching, Wanyan Lei shouted: "What a boy, you came at a good time. Where are the warriors under me?"
Li Hu reined in his horse and stopped, his eyes swept over the Zhu Huichan siblings on the grass, then landed on Wanyan Lei, and said: "You are talking about the eleven guys with knives, I have already sent them on their way. "
"Let's hit the road," Wanyan Lei said. After all, he was not a Han Chinese, so he couldn't understand the meaning of Li Hu's words for a moment.
Li Hu said: "Yes, they are on their way to see the Lord of Hell, and I will send you with them soon."
"You actually killed eleven warriors from the Iron Guard Battalion," Wanyan Lei finally understood Li Hu's words, and his expression suddenly changed.
The Iron Guard Battalion was brave and invincible. It was originally the strongest among all the battalions of the Manchu Imperial Guards. Each of them was an elite warrior who was one of a hundred, and was well-trained and good at joint attacks. This time Wanyan Lei came to the border of the Ming Dynasty, only Because they have a special mission, there will be an Iron Guard battalion to follow and protect them.
This young man, who was not very stout, was so powerful. It seemed that he had really underestimated him before.
Wanyan Lei suddenly took two steps back and reached out to grab Zhu Huichan who was lying on the grass. The blade of the steel ax was already placed on her neck.
"You are not allowed to move, or I will kill this little bitch with an axe," Wanyan Lei shouted.
Li Hu curled his lips and sneered: "Threatening women is what you northern warriors do."
Wanyan Lei yelled: "Shut up and throw away the weapons,"
Li Hu stared at the big man with red beard opposite him. He did not obey the order. Instead, he took two steps forward. The distance between them was already about three feet.
"Stop," Wan Yanlei flicked his wrist, and the ax blade cut Zhu Huichan's skin, and immediately a line of blood flowed down the snow-white jade neck.
Li Hu finally stopped.
"I count to three, if you don't drop the knife, this little bitch will be dead," Wanyan Lei saw Li Hu stop following his words, knowing that the other party still had some scruples about Zhu Huichan's life after all, gritted his teeth threatened.
Counting to three again, Zhu Huichan almost fainted when she heard this.
"One, two,..." Wanyan Lei shouted.
At the count of two, Li Hu let go of the handle of the knife with his right palm, and the short blade fell and was stuck in the grass at his feet.
"That's what you're talking about..." Wanyan Lei saw the opponent surrendering, and the ax blade in his hand loosened slightly. However, at this moment, Li Hu suddenly moved.
His right foot flew out and kicked the handle of the knife, and the short blade was immediately kicked into the air.
This kick was as fast as lightning and flint, and it took advantage of the opponent's slight relaxation. Before Wanyan Lei could react, the cold light was in front of him, and the cold blade struck his throat.
Wanyan Lei subconsciously tried his best to tilt his head, and with a "pop" sound, the sharp blade pierced into the muscle, and the short knife was inserted into his right shoulder. He was horrified, and he hurriedly swung the ax to kill Zhu Huichan, but it couldn't be slashed at all. When he looked closely, he discovered that the ax blade was actually blocked by a hand. It was Li Hu who had stepped forward and reached out to forcefully grab the ax blade.
Li Hu's other palm suddenly came out and slapped the short knife stuck on the opponent's shoulder. The blade, which was about a foot long, reached the handle. The red-bearded man's arm suddenly lost its strength. It was no longer possible to hold the steel ax, and it fell on it. into the hands of Li Hu.
Wanyan Lei felt a chill in his chest, and then felt severe pain. Something was cut straight into his heart, and it was his own giant axe.
He kicked up the dagger to injure the enemy, used his palm to block the ax blade, and then grabbed the ax to kill. This series of actions was quite complicated. In fact, Li Hu completed it in the blink of an eye.
This young man's attacks were as fast as a ghost's and extremely ruthless. He was truly the most terrifying killer Wanyan Lei had ever seen in his life. No wonder eleven iron guards died in the hands of this man. The red-bearded man had an epiphany in his heart, and at the same time, blood spurted out from his chest. , the strong body fell down like a wall.
Wanyan Lei's body fell on the grass, making a dull noise. Zhu Huichan stood there with blood sprayed all over her body. She opened her big eyes and was so scared that she was stunned.
Princess Chitose, who grew up in a deep palace, had never experienced such bloody scenes of killing.
With a "dang" sound, Li Hu threw the giant ax to the ground, bent down and pulled out the short knife from Wanyan Lei's shoulder, wiped the blood on the corpse's clothes, and inserted it back into the scabbard.
He glanced at Zhu Huichan who was standing there dumbly, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, threw it in front of her, and said: "Here are wound medicine and gauze. Wrap the wound on your neck. If you weren't riding If a horse runs wildly, it will not be injured."
After hearing Li Hu's words, Zhu Huichan gradually came back to her senses, but suddenly a nameless grievance welled up in her heart.
The Bull Demon King said that if she didn't run around, she wouldn't be hurt, which meant that she deserved to be hurt.
For most of the day, she had gone through a lot of hardships. She had put on such ugly clothes and walked dozens of miles in ill-fitting hemp shoes. She was almost dead from exhaustion but had not even eaten. In the end, she was almost She was insulted by the red-bearded fan. All this happened because the Bull Demon King kidnapped her from the city.
And now he actually said that she deserved it.
She had suffered enough. If she continued like this, she would be bullied anyway, so she might as well die.
"I don't want you to worry about it, take it back," Zhu Huichan grabbed the cloth bag on the ground, threw it at Li Hu's face, then squatted on the ground and cried "Wow".
Li Hu reached out his hand to catch the cloth bag nonchalantly and said: "If you don't want it, forget it, then let's get on the road."
As they were about to start their journey, Zhu Huichan felt sad and shouted: "If I don't leave, you will be just like that red beard, you will bully others, you bull devil, you big bad guy, just kill me with one knife, I'm not afraid..." "
She simply lay down on the grass and cried even louder, with tears flowing down her cheeks like a fountain, letting out all the grievances she had suffered in the past half day.
