Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

At this moment, a rush of hoofbeats came from the front.From far to near, it came very fast.

Li Mu's heart trembled, he stood up suddenly, took a few steps forward, and held the knife in his hand.

The first thing that came into view was the tall horse that caused Li Mu to fall to pieces.However, before Li Mu sighed that a good horse recognizes its owner, he saw a large cloud of smoke and dust following the horse's buttocks straight into the sky. In the misty smoke.

As a person who was born in a peaceful age and grew up in a modern society, Li Mu's concept of troubled times is extremely vague.But this does not prevent her from knowing that in this era when human life is so insignificant, going out alone is tantamount to courting death.This is also the reason why she dared to escape from Shouchun and Yuan Shu at the risk of stealing the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in exchange for a ticket to board Zhou Yu's sailing boat.

However, the bloodshed last night was too shocking, plus she was busy dealing with Zhou Yu's arrow wound, it was only when she saw Yan Chen that she suddenly realized that she was still "alone" in the end!

If Zhou Yu hadn't been injured, maybe the two of them could still find their way back to Jiangdong in this world full of thieves.But now...

"Zhou Yu...Zhou Gongjin, wake up...Zhou Lang...Gongjin..." Li Mu was anxious, but there was nothing she could do. The sound of chaotic horseshoes was getting closer and louder, and the ground trembled slightly. Pushed Zhou Yu's shoulder, leaned close to his ear and called him indiscriminately.

As if hearing her voice, Zhou Yu opened his eyes, and stared at Li Mu with a pair of dark eyes, wondering if he recognized her, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The white horse covered in blood had already rushed to Li Mu's side, snorting restlessly, pacing back and forth, not acknowledging its existence.She got up and hugged the horse's neck and patted it, gritted her teeth fiercely as she looked at the empty horse's back, and finally turned around and picked up the saber on the ground, holding it tightly in her hand, with the point of the knife on the ground, and looked up at a procession of horses carrying Billows of smoke and dust surrounded the two of them.

"Brother is right, there are indeed people here, and there is one alive!" Amidst the neighing of horseshoes, a rough sound like a broken gong resounded. Following his words, dozens of voices seemed to be alive. They generally shouted together.It's just that the content of these people's shouts is different, they are mixed together in a mess, and accompanied by noisy laughter, it is impossible to hear what they are saying.

Li Mu let out a heavy breath, trying to calm himself down without showing timidity, but the hand holding the knife trembled slightly due to excessive force.

The smoke and dust under the horse's hooves gradually dissipated, and it was as if Tu Qiong's dagger was visible, revealing a circle of gangsters.Horses of mixed coat and color, most of them are so thin that their belly is flat and their shoulder bones protrude. However, besides the riders on the horses, there are piles of all kinds of blood-stained weapons and clothes, as if they just got out of the ashes and mud. With a slight shake of his neck, the dusty man can shake out a small cloud of misty dirt, and then reveal the blood-stained mane underneath.

Although the big men on the horses were dressed in ragged clothes and their beards covered almost every face, they couldn't hide the excitement in their brows, like ferocious beasts surrounding their prey. He wanted to rush forward and tear Li Musheng apart.

The first person didn't laugh and clamor with the companions behind him, and he didn't show arrogance at all. His sharp wolf eyes swung between Li Mu and Zhou Yu amidst the noise, and then fell into Li Mu's hands. on the knife.

Li Mu pursed his lips tightly, gritted his teeth and raised his chin to look at him, slightly raising the knife in his hand.

The man slowly raised his hand, the one who spoke first shut his mouth and fell silent, followed by a group of people slowly subsided, only the snorting of the horses and the pacing of the horses' hooves intermingled.

"Take away everything that can be taken away, and take away the living!"

With this sentence, Li Mu was finally sure that they had met a group of bandits who robbed everyone, rather than the soldiers and horses who attacked them last night and chased after them.The horses they were riding on, the weapons and clothing on their backs all seemed to be looted from their battlefield last night.

However, Li Mu didn't have time to think about why a group of bandits were able to grab the spoils on the battlefield, and he didn't even have time to rejoice that what they met was not a regular army. The words of the bandit leader were like a stone breaking the surface of a lake. He got off his horse and rushed towards them.

Li Mu took another look at the thief leader, his heart skipped a beat, and a snowy light rose from his hand.

However, although the saber was still as heavy, this time it was not as handy as it was when blocking the spear last night.When there was a sound, Li Mu slashed from top to bottom halfway, and was stopped by someone. She only felt a huge force coming from the blade, which immediately numb half of her arm. Loosen, the long knife immediately flew out of his hand.

"Haha, boy, I'd better go back with Grandpa to practice strength..."

The silver blade drew a half-arc in the air, before snapping off suddenly.The light of the knife soared, like a bright lake facing the sun.The insolent voice stopped abruptly after only half a sentence, half of the knife light was like snow, bringing up a blood-red trajectory like the setting sun shining at night, rushing straight up, pressing down on the silver light of the knife, slightly behind the splash The faces and skirts of a group of thieves who walked a few steps away.

Zhou Yu!

Under the sparse sunlight, Zhou Yu's lips were blue and white, but her face was flushed red. Around her waist was the cloak fabric left over from Li Mu's dressing, covering her shocking triangular scarf, as if she was wearing an apron. The body that fell in the mist made it impossible to laugh at all.

As soon as the panic was gone, Li Mu calmed down surprisingly.Responding very quickly, when Zhou Yu killed the enemy with a single knife and the thieves were terrified, he took half a step back and saw his body swaying slightly, and accurately wrapped his arms around his waist to support him in time.

The messy hair of the two fell down, intertwined and intertwined. Beads of sweat fell from Zhou Yu's forehead. Li Mu straightened his back, and pushed his thin shoulders under Zhou Yu's shoulder bones, supporting his body vigorously.

There is no cure or medicine for his arrow wounds, and it is most taboo to act casually and use force.At this time, all she could do was stand side by side with him.

Zhou Yu glanced at her sideways, as if a little surprised by Li Mu's actions, but quickly turned his gaze away, swept the rest of the thieves, and finally fell on the leader of the thieves.

"Dare to rob the battlefield of Yuan Gonglu, and a strong man can be regarded as courageous. It's just a fluke, so why do you want to embarrass us and the people passing by?" Zhou Yu's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was unexpectedly calm and breezy. With a certain degree of stability and calmness in his chest.

"Common people?" The bandit chief laughed, and pointed at the lying corpse on the ground with half of his head missing, with a murderous look, "Where did the common people have such good skills! If someone killed a brother in a certain village, if a certain one didn't care, why should he?" Can you be worthy of all the brothers respecting a certain big brother?"

The heroic words immediately attracted all the thieves behind who were startled by Zhou Yu's knife to echo in unison.

Amidst the passionate shouts and cheers, Zhou Yu smiled indifferently, opened and closed her thin lips, and spit out two words: "grain and grass."

He was weak after the injury, and lacked energy. Except for Li Mu who was standing by his side, these two words were immediately covered by the noise of the thieves as soon as he uttered them.

Unexpectedly, the leader of the thief suddenly let out a long howl, suppressing all the shouts of the thieves, and shouted sharply: "What did you say! Tell me again!" The pressure makes people's heart palpitate.

"Food and grass." This time, Zhou Yu's voice was clearly heard by everyone, but Li Mu only felt that the weight on her shoulders was getting heavier and heavier, so he couldn't help but looked up at him worriedly.I saw a morbid blush on Zhou Yu's cheeks that intensified, together with the mottled blood on his hair and forehead, which actually reflected a bit of indescribable strangeness on his handsome and elegant face.

He was intercepted by Yuan Shu last night, and he was injured by a hidden arrow when he broke through. Even though he didn't hurt his vitals, he lost a lot of blood and the broken arrow was still in his body.

Although the scale of the battle last night was far from being a confrontation between two armies, the might of a thousand armies was not something that ordinary bandits and robbers would dare to intervene.The so-called bandits are mostly people who can't stand the confiscation and gather together to resist, even the mighty Yellow Turban bandits.In the final analysis, it is just a shelter for one party, a bowl of food to satisfy one's hunger.If there is no real shortage of food, who would take the risk of swords and soldiers to snatch the spoils from the battlefield?

Zhou Yu's eyes flicked across the group of thieves, and his brows slowly raised.The bandits were in a hurry, and the horses they were riding were smeared with mud, but the weapons and clothes on the horses were covered with bloodstains, obviously all from the battlefield last night.But even though they returned with a full load, there was not a grain of grain in sight.The land under Yuan Shu's jurisdiction was extremely plundered, even if they had horses and cloth to find people to exchange for food, the people were displaced, and if they couldn't fill their own stomachs, how could they have food in exchange for them!

Therefore, the word "food and grass" alone is enough to move the thief.

"My two brothers were in distress when they met the bandits. Fortunately, they were rescued by the help of a strong man. I would like to pay you ten carts of food and grass, and I hope that you will never refuse."

Although Zhou Yu's words were spoken unhurriedly, they were like a thousand-thousand-weight stone. Not only did it arouse a lot of noise among the thieves, even Li Mu was startled.

Ten carts of grain and grass.With Zhou Yu's background, Li Mu has no doubt that he can pay.But offering to pay the thief with food like this, in her eyes, is like the downcast rich second generation of later generations encountering robbery with a knife, immediately shouting loudly that my family has money, I will give the money, and even think of excuses for the other party Already - service fee!So the original robber changed suddenly, and immediately became a kidnapper - holding people as hostages, extorting ransom, and then... tearing up the ticket.

He has a wound infection, he has a fever and is confused...

Li Mu's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and the palms behind Zhou Yu's waist were soaked, sticky and greasy, half of which was sweat, and half of which was Zhou Yu's too forceful knife just now, which burst to stop the bleeding Wound.She could even feel his body trembling slightly under her hands, and the tense muscles in his lower back convulsed one after another, apparently on the verge of exhaustion.
