Li Xiao immediately jumped up from the ground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He untied the precious white lacquered armor from Zasu's body as quickly as he could, and quickly put it on his body along with his helmet and combat boots, and then, picking up the tiger knife that Zasu used, he galloped towards the war horse.

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

When Li Xiao was about to get to the side of the war horse, two stainless steel arrows came fiercely, one flew by Li Xiao's cheek, and the other happened to shoot on the tiger knife in Li Xiao's hand, "Ding!" With a bang, sparks flickered.

Li Xiao quickly stepped on the horse, rested the woman who was still unconscious on his lap, shook the reins, and slammed his legs into the horse's belly.

While galloping, Li Xiao peeked behind him, and saw about dozens of torches chasing after him, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves getting louder and louder, Li Xiao could even faintly hear the sound of scolding in foreign languages.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Several arrows were shot from behind quickly, one stainless steel arrow "grabbed" and fiercely shot into the bow sac on the left side of the saddle, while the other arrow shot directly behind Li Xiao's white lacquered bright armor on the back of a stainless steel armor leaf, making a crisp sound of "ding".

Li Xiao felt as if he had been punched in the back, which shocked his body and almost fell off the horse, but fortunately, he was superb in equestrianism, and hurriedly clamped the horse's belly and bowed down to stabilize his body.

Li Xiao was glad in his heart, if he hadn't changed this white lacquer armor in time to block the deadly attack of this arrow, he would have already become a dead corpse at this moment.

It's good to have good protection.

Li Xiao, who desperately knocked on the horse's belly and ran away, clearly felt that the sound of the horse's hooves behind him was getting louder and louder, and there seemed to be more and more arrows whistling past him.

Damn it! If it weren't for the two of you on your back and the heavy package, you Tartars would not have caught up!

It's just that if you want to catch me Li Xiao, it's not that easy!

Galloping around a detour, Li Xiao gritted his teeth violently, twisted the horse's head, and the mount neighed and burrowed into a gentle slope of dense forest beside the road.

At this time, the bright moonlight rose, and the faint moonlight cast in this dense forest, making Li Xiao, who fled through the forest, like an illusory silver phantom.

Li Xiao, who was in a hurry, finally relied on the cover of the woods and grasses, and the familiarity with the road conditions that he had been hunting here for a long time, and gradually opened up the distance between the enemy soldiers who were chasing after him.

After Li Xiao drilled over a few hillsides, the sound of horses' hooves and the shouting and scolding of aliens behind him finally couldn't be heard.

Li Xiao grabbed the reins of his horse, gasped heavily, and looked back, except for the trees and grass gently swaying in the silver moonlight, there was no movement.

Li Xiao let out a long breath, and then, he slowly walked around a hillside and came to a hidden place near a stream.

He put the unconscious woman back in the saddle, then jumped off the horse, fastened the horse to a fork of a tree beside it, and forcefully removed a large, ordinary-looking rock, revealing a black hole.

This cave is a temporary resting place for hunters such as Li Xiaoxiao and Daquan when hunting in the mountains on weekdays, and can provide relevant supplies. There are several such resting caves in Panlong Mountain, all of which are set up to facilitate long-term hunting in the mountains.

Entering the cave, Li Xiao fired the flint, lit the velvet, and then ignited a bunch of dead grass and weeds, and made a fire.

The vigorous fire crackled, and the orange-red fire reflected the blue-gray cave walls, which immediately brought a lot of life to the whole cave.

Li Xiao lit the fire, turned around and walked out of the cave, and then gently carried the unconscious woman into the cave and placed her on a small wooden bed on one side.

Subsequently, Li Xiao brought the horses' parcels, bows and arrows, tiger knives and other objects into the cave, and then covered the boulder from the inside, leaving only some gaps to ventilate.

Li Xiao first took a closer look at the woman who was still in a coma, and saw that she was wearing ordinary people's tattered clothes, her hair was in a messy bun, and her face was covered with dirty black mud, which was completely the appearance of an ordinary fleeing woman.

But I don't know where these Tartars are so desperate to take this seemingly ordinary woman?

We won't know until she wakes up.

The fire in the cave was burning very strongly, and Li Xiao felt hot all over his body, so he hurriedly took off the armor on his body. He then took out a little herb for the knife wound from the hole, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and patted it on the wound on his right leg that had stopped bleeding.

Li Xiao looked at the wound carefully, and was glad in his heart, the tiger knife of the white armor soldier did not penetrate deeply, and only injured a little flesh, and now that it is medicated, it should scab over in a few days.

After taking the medicine, Li Xiao pulled out the arrow shot by the enemy soldier on the bow sac, and pulled the bow out of the bow sac to watch.

"Good bow!"

When the bow was pulled out of the bow bag, Li Xiao couldn't help but praise it.

This is a typical oriental recurve compound bow, more than one meter and a half in length, the bow body is made of purple wood reinforced with stainless steel, reinforced with cooked copper, the bow tip is decorated with bright silver swallowing beast, and the handle painted with tassel pattern is engraved with a Jurchen text that Li Xiao does not understand.

Li Xiao carefully bent the bow and tuned the strings, then held the bow handle in his left hand and guided the strings in his right hand.

"Boom!"

There was a loud sound of strings, and the silver bowstrings still trembled in the air.

Li Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, this bow had at least nearly four stones of pulling force, but fortunately, his strength was strong enough, and it was very easy to pull and use. (Note: A stone of bows and arrows in the Ming Dynasty is about 90 catties).

Li Xiao didn't know that this bow was actually a habitual thing used by the Tartar Chieftain Taiji, who had excellent archery skills, and there were almost no people who could pull it away in the Houjin. The strength of the great archery skills of the personal guard Zasu, as a very rare person who can pull this bow, so that the emperor Taiji greatly appreciated, especially the bow to him, the bowstring of this bow is made of the tiger tendons of the adult Northeast male tiger, so the pulling force is great, and the Jurchen text engraved on it, translated into Chinese, is the meaning of "God bless my country".

"It's really a good bow, the pulling force is so great, if you send a single arrow, it will definitely make the enemy lose their souls, so let's call it a bow of soul." In Li Xiao's heart, he was quite complacent about the name he gave to the bow.

Li Xiao put the snatching bow back into the bow sac, and took out an arrow from the full quiver to look at, only to see that the arrow arrow was made of stainless steel, extremely sharp and sharp, triangular shaped, and engraved with deep blood grooves. The body of the arrow is made of hard alfalca, nearly a meter long, and the tail of the arrow is three dark brown carved feathers, and the whole arrow looks smooth and has a fierce murderous aura.

Li Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder the history books always say that the Houjin Tartar foot shooting is extremely powerful, and often several rounds of shooting can shoot the Ming army in a good queue, in addition to superb archery skills, this excellent bow and arrow weapon is also an extremely important reason.

After putting the arrow back into the pocket, Li Xiao remembered that there was still a heavy package that he hadn't seen, so he hurriedly took it over, and as soon as the package was opened, Li Xiao was stunned.

He saw that the pieces of gold in the package shone with a dazzling and charming golden light under the reflection of the flames.

This is the property that Zasu painstakingly snatched from Lushun, and now it is all in the hands of Li Xiao.

Poor Zha Su worked hard to loot, and for the convenience of carrying, he exchanged all the silver and jewelry he had snatched for gold, but now, he made a wedding dress for Li Xiao.

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth curved into a faint smile, he checked it vigorously, and estimated in his heart that this bag of gold was more than 300 taels.

Li Xiao, who has read a little history of the Ming Dynasty, knows that according to the price of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, due to the decline in the price of silver, one tael of gold is worth 12 or 13 taels of silver, that is, the more than 300 taels of gold can be worth nearly 4,000 taels of silver.

This is not a small amount, you know, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even when the price of grain was the highest at the height of the war, three taels of silver could buy a stone of rice grain. And the price of an ordinary people's house is only about 20 taels.

This feeling of changing from a penniless grass farmer to a contemporary rich man in an instant made Li Xiao feel extremely unreal dizzy, but it was inexplicable in his heart.

This feeling of comfort quickly disappeared.

Because almost instantly, he thought of the tragic death of his own mother and daughter-in-law who did not pass the door, the villagers who were killed in the whole village of Gushantun, and the thought of Xiao Daquan and Xiao Er, who had just died in the ambush and bloody battle.

If you can choose to exchange this large amount of gold for your own mother and daughter-in-law, and for the lives of Xiao Daquan and Xiao second-class villagers, Li Xiao will not hesitate to offer it with both hands.

Li Xiao, who sighed, threw the gold back into his bag and put it away, and sat on a small wooden tie next to the fire, facing the beating flames in a daze.

It wasn't until the woman on the bed coughed softly that he pulled him back from his endless thoughts.

"Water, give me water." The woman let out a soft moan.

Li Xiao hurriedly scooped a wooden bowl of water from a water tank in the cave, walked over quickly and handed it to the woman who woke up and was slowly struggling to sit up from the bed.

The woman took the bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp.

After the woman finished drinking, she raised her head, and a pair of black eyes were facing Li Xiao's concerned gaze.

"Who are you? How did I end up here? The woman muttered, instinctively shrinking back into the bed.

Li Xiao looked at her frightened face calmly, and then, in a calm tone, briefly recounted the experience of rescuing her on the road.

He tried to describe the bloody battle as simple as possible, so as not to frighten her.

Li Xiao found that the girl who was still vigilant just now gradually relaxed, and finally a look of inexplicable admiration and gratitude appeared on her face.

"The little girl is grateful to Engong for the rescue." The woman said gratefully.

Li Xiao smiled, and then asked, "Dare to ask Miss's surname?" But I don't know why those Tartars kidnapped you? ”

In the woman's eyes, a trace of heavy hatred flashed, and she bowed her head and was speechless.

"Wash your face." Seeing that she didn't answer, Li Xiao diverted the topic with this sentence.

The woman nodded slightly.

Li Xiao scooped up a basin of water and handed it to the woman. The woman thanked her, and then washed the dirty black mud off her face with water in her hands.

The woman who washed her face made Li Xiao look at it unconsciously.

This is a very beautiful woman.

On her melon-seed-shaped face, although the haggard color is obvious, but after washing the sludge with water, it is even more white as jade, and under the two curved willow eyebrows, there are a pair of bright eyes with clear eyes, the bridge of the nose is beautiful, the cherry lips are lovely, and the small chin is as smooth as jade. The tiny droplets of water that were still on her face, under the light of the fire, were like tiny pearls, shining with a faint golden yellow that made people's hearts shake.

When the woman saw Li Xiao's infatuation, her face turned red unconsciously, and she lowered her head shyly.

Li Xiao noticed his gaffe, and quickly pretended to cough and turned his head.

The two fell silent, and in the air, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly.

It was Li Xiao who broke the silence, he stood up, and said to the woman: "The girl escaped from danger, she was frightened all the way, and she wanted to be hungry in her belly, and wait for Li to cook some rice porridge, so that the girl will fill her stomach." ”

After speaking, Li Xiao turned around and left, and began to scoop rice from the rice jar to cook porridge, he didn't notice the inexplicable look in the woman behind him when she looked at his back.

After a while, the fragrant rice porridge was ready, and the cave was filled with the rich aroma of rice, Li Xiao divided two bowls, and brought them to the woman, and began to eat one bowl at a time.

Li Xiao drank it all in a few sips, but the woman at the bedside opposite was preoccupied, so she drank a little and stopped the soup in her hand.

Finally, the woman put down the bowl and said slowly: "Li Xiao, if I tell you who I am, are you willing to send me home next?" ”

Li Xiao pondered for a moment, and nodded solemnly: "Girl, you think too much." Li Xiao doesn't care who you are, since I saved you, I will save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, Li Xiao is willing to serve. ”

A happy smile immediately appeared on the woman's face.

"Well, let me tell you, my name is Zu Wan'er, and my father is Zu Dale, the deputy commander of the Liaodong Forward Battalion."

"Ahh
