As he spoke, Zhu Yun chased after him with a bloodstained sword.

Liu Xiu and Long Yuan were not far behind, and followed Zhu Yun towards the woods. More than a dozen brute soldiers ran all the way, and they were slashed and killed by Liu Xiu and the three of them all the way, and they ran out of a distance of more than 100 meters, and only the poor three of the dozen brute soldiers were left.

At this time, through the gap in the woods, I could vaguely see that there was a large group of people in the forest in front of me, and it was black.

Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, and Zhu Yun stopped one after another, it is not known how many barbarians are in front of them, if they rush to chase after them, they are afraid that they will be more than lucky.

As soon as they had the idea of retreating, they suddenly heard a woman's scream from the woods in front of them: "Help...... Ah......h

Liu Xiu's body was shocked, and he said urgently: "It's Han!" As he spoke, he stepped forward.

Zhu Yun wanted to catch him, but the tips of his fingers only touched the corners of Liu Xiu's clothes.

Seeing Liu Xiu and Long Yuan rushing over one after the other, he stomped his feet hard and scolded angrily: "Damn, fight!" As he spoke, he rushed forward.

Pity the three wounded brutes, just ran in front of their own people, and were stabbed to the ground by Liu Xiu and the three who chased after them.

Liu Xiu raised his eyes and saw that there were indeed many people here, but most of them were women, Han women, they were tied into a long string by ropes, and beside them, there were six barbarian soldiers with swords.

You don't need to ask to understand what is going on, these women wearing Han costumes must have been abducted by barbarians. Liu Xiu shouted: "Kill-" He rushed towards a brute soldier with his sword, and slashed Huashan with force.

The brute didn't have time to parry with his sword, and was hit in the head by Liu Xiu's sword, click, half of the brute soldier fell off and fell to the ground, and the corpse of the remaining half of the head was still standing in place.

When the surrounding women saw it, they screamed in fright and hugged each other.

The remaining five brute soldiers, looking at Liu Xiu, who had been killed covered in blood, as if they had seen a flood beast, didn't even dare to make a move with him, turned around and ran.

These barbarian soldiers who are responsible for taking care of Han women are all the old, weak, sick and disabled with the worst combat effectiveness among the barbarians, and they have no combat effectiveness at all, how can they outrun Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, and Zhu Yun?

In the blink of an eye, the trio chased them behind.

The five brutes were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Liu Xiu and the three of them didn't understand a word of what they said, Zhu Yun was not polite at all, and slashed and killed an old barbarian with a sword, and the remaining four people were so frightened that they trembled.

Zhu Yun didn't give up, and he continued to slash, but Liu Xiu calmed down first, grabbed Zhu Yun, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yun, leave them behind, maybe you can find out the whereabouts of more brute soldiers." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yun's long sword, which had already been raised high, slowly put it down, his mind turned, he nodded, and said, "What Ah Xiu said is reasonable!" As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu with strange eyes.

Liu Xiu looked puzzled and asked, "Brother Yun, what's wrong?" ”

"Ah Xiu, you kid, you hide so deeply, why didn't I know you were so good before?!"

On the battlefield just now, Zhu Yun also carefully noticed the skills of Liu Xiu and Long Yuan.

The former slashed and killed the barbarians, it was really like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, I am afraid that the barbarians who died under Ah Xiu's sword killed more than themselves, while the latter was completely hidden, and people couldn't see his depth.

As far as intuition is concerned, Zhu Yun feels that this Long Zhongbo's skills are even more terrifying than Ah Xiu.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Thanks to the eldest brother and Brother Yun for teaching me to practice boxing when I was a child!" ”

Zhu Yun waved his hand and said, "De, de, de, I don't dare to take credit, I can't teach you this skill!" ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the women with his sword in his hand and said, "You don't have to be afraid, we are all Xiangyang rebels. ”

As he spoke, he used his sword to cut the ropes that bound the women one by one. Then he picked up a few ropes and tied up the four barbarians who had surrendered.

At this time, Li Tong, Li Yi and others also rushed over, and when they saw such a group of Han women at the scene, everyone was at a loss and didn't understand what was going on.

Zhu Yun glanced around at everyone, the original number one hundred people, now I am afraid that there are not even fifty people, he asked, "What about the other brothers?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and someone choked up and said, "Tun Chief, the other brothers, either died in battle, or were seriously injured and couldn't move." ”

Zhu Yun grinned, fifty people, just this blink of an eye is gone? Zhu Yun patted Liu Xiu and said urgently: "Ah Xiu, you stay and take care of them!" Come with me to the rescue of the wounded brothers! ”

After assigning the task, Zhu Yun left with a group of people, leaving Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, Li Tong, Li Yi and more than a dozen others.

Liu Xiu walked up to the group of women and looked around, all of them were gray and dirty, and their faces were covered with mud.

It is estimated that the mud on many people's faces is pasted on by themselves, and it falls into the hands of barbarians, and if women want to protect themselves, they can only make themselves dirty and ugly. Liu Xiu asked, "Where are you all from?" ”

"My lord, the slave family is from Hanzhong!"

"The slave family is also from Hanzhong!"

"The slave family is from Ba County!"

“……”

Liu Xiu listened carefully, most of these women were from Hanzhong, and some of them were from Ba County and Guanghan County, even if they were not in Hanzhong, they were not far from Hanzhong.

Li Yi walked up to Liu Xiu and said, "Let them go home by themselves, we can't march with them!" ”

Hearing this, the women were anxious, and from time to time there was a sound of crying. Now in the midst of chaos, letting these women go home alone is tantamount to watching them die.

Li Tong shook his head and said, "Save people to the end, I think they should be sent to the nearby government, and the government will send someone to escort them home." ”

Liu Xiu felt that Li Tong's words were reasonable, he nodded and said, "What the dimensional yuan said is very true. ”

He looked at the crowd again, took out two dry rations from his ration bag, handed them to the two women nearest to him, and said, "Eat something first." ”

The two women first timidly took the dry food, thanked Liu Xiufu, and then devoured it. Seeing this, Li Tong and the others also took out the rations they carried with them and distributed them to the women.

At this time, Li Yi instead covered his grain bag tightly, and refused to take out the dry food as soon as he was ready.

In other places, there is a great drought and there is no food, but here in Yizhou, it is not only a great drought, but also a shortage of soldiers, it is so easy to find a bite to eat, and now asking him to hand over dry food is tantamount to letting him cut his own flesh.

Li Tong walked up to Liu Xiu, bowed to the ground, and said, "Uncle Wen, thank you for saving me and my cousin just now!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled at him and said in a brisk tone: "Ji Yuan and Ji Wen are also good, they both killed barbarians just now. ”

Li Tong's old face flushed, compared to Liu Xiu, he was too far from his cousin.

It didn't take long for Liu Xiu to rush over, and when he saw Liu Xiu covered in blood, he was startled, stepped forward, and asked with concern, "Ah Xiu, where are you injured?" Tell Big Brother! ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Big brother, I'm fine." He looked down at his clothes and said, "None of this blood is mine!" ”

Zhu Yun walked over and said happily: "Bosheng, Ah Xiu is much more capable than you think, half of these barbarians we killed must have been killed by Ah Xiu!" ”

His words were a bit exaggerated, but the barbarians who died in Liu Xiu's hands must have at least one or twenty people. In the past, Zhu Yun also regarded Liu Xiu as a little brother, but now, he didn't dare to underestimate Liu Xiu anymore.

Liu Xuan was stunned at first, then laughed, and said proudly: "Our Liu family brothers, all of them are not given in vain!" As he spoke, he also patted Liu Xiu's shoulder vigorously.

Then, he looked at the women present and asked, "What are they going to do?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "Big brother, I think they should be sent to the local government, and the government will send someone to escort them home." ”

Liu Xuan nodded and said, "Okay." Then, with a flash of his gaze at the four captured brutes, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he walked over with his sword.

Liu Xiu hurriedly caught up with Liu Xiu and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, have you found any property on the barbarians?" ”

Liu Xuan blinked, shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Xiu said in a low voice: "The fact that the barbarians can kidnap so many women means that they are in Hanzhong who robbed their families all the way, how can they have no property on them?" ”

Liu Xuan took a breath, yes, since these barbarians have kidnapped so many women, then they must have robbed a lot of property, but the strange thing is that when searching the bodies of these barbarians, not even a copper plate was found.

He turned his mind around and whispered, "Ah Xiu, what do you think...... Did they hide all the loot? ”

"I think nine times out of ten."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xuan nodded and scolded with a smile: "Damn, these barbarians are quite cunning!" As he spoke, he turned back and shouted, "Respect? ”

Zhang Ping walked over quickly and said, "Bosheng! ”

Liu Xuan beckoned to Zhang Ping, and when he approached him, he whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhang Ping nodded while listening, and when Liu Xuan finished speaking, he answered, walked up to the four barbarian captives, and asked a few words in fluent barbarian.

Liu Xiu was surprised: "Big brother, can Brother Ping still speak?" ”

Liu Xuan smiled and said: "Jingzhi is a native of Yizhou County, and since he was a child, he has dealt with barbarians. ”

Yizhou County is located in the western part of Yizhou, bordering Mandi.

"I see!" Liu Xiu also knew for the first time that Zhang Ping was from Yizhou County, no wonder his archery skills were so good, barbarians were good at riding and shooting, and the wind of riding and archery was also very popular in Yizhou County.

I don't know what Zhang Ping said to the four barbarians, without warning, he suddenly drew his sword, stabbed the three barbarians to death cleanly, and then carried the last barbarian into the depths of the woods.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Ping came out of the woods alone, and at the same time handed Liu Xuan a bloodstained linen cloth. Liu Xiu looked at it, and it turned out that the map on the linen cloth was drawn with blood and water.

Zhang Ping pointed to the map and said, "The barbarians confessed that they buried all the looted property here. ”

Liu Xuan looked at this map, one head and two big, and he couldn't understand what the hell was drawn. He asked, "Jingzhi, can you find this place?" ”
