Chapter 405: A Humble Gentleman
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Jingle Bell! The three swords and two knives that stabbed oncoming were blocked by Liu Xiu one after another, and then he swept out with a sword, and two big men couldn't dodge, and their lower abdomen was cut open by the blade of the sword.
With a pop, the bits and pieces of their abdomen flowed down the wound and smashed on their own feet.
Long Yuan, Long Xiao, and Long Zhun also joined the battle group and followed Liu Xiu to resist the enemies who came up after them.
At first, there were only a few enemies, but after a while, the number of enemies became more and more, and they were like a tide, constantly swarming over.
Seeing that there was really no time left, the people who were carrying things had no choice but to give up and board the ship quickly.
Seeing Shi Luo getting back into the carriage, Zhu You stepped forward, came to the carriage, opened the curtain, and said urgently: "Mrs. Shi, we have to get on the boat quickly!" β
In the carriage of the carriage, not only the women were seated, but also a lot of things, such as food, daily necessities, clothes, and even pots and pans for eating, tea utensils for drinking, etc., were all in the carriage.
Shi Luo looked at the things piled up in the car and said urgently, "But there are still many things that have not been taken away......
"It's too late! Mrs. Shi, get out of the car and follow me on the boat! As soon as Zhu You finished saying this, three big men next to him rushed over with spears.
Zhu You broke off and greeted him with a sword, he had just killed the three big men to the ground, and more than a dozen people rushed up from behind.
There are too many people on the other side to kill them all. Seeing the chaotic battle on the shore, several boatmen who had already boarded the ship urged repeatedly: "Get on the boat quickly, there is no time!" β
Zhu You also wanted to get on the boat, but now he couldn't rush out at all, and all around him, there were all people, and he was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
Just when Zhu You desperately broke through the encirclement, but couldn't break out, a person entered the encirclement with a gun. Choshi was armed with an iron-dotted steel gun, and with one shot, he could stab at least one person, and sometimes two people at once, and a single shot swept out, and the people around him fell in a row. From the periphery of the crowd, Choshi forced himself into the crowd and encircled those who were deeply encircled
Zhu You dragged it out.
After the two broke out of the encirclement, under the cover of Deng Yu and others, they staggered onto a small boat. Seeing that the people on his boat were full, the boatman did not delay any longer, paddled the oars with all his might, and went to the center of the water.
Zhu You wiped the blood on his face, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly looked left and right, looked around, his face changed suddenly, and asked urgently, "Where is Mrs. Shi?" Didn't Mrs. Shi get on the boat? β
Everyone subconsciously looked to the shore, only to see the crowd surrounding the carriage, and a big man jumped on the carriage and got into the carriage, and after a short time, he lifted Shi Luo out of the carriage like a chicken.
The big man grinned widely, laughed wildly, looked at Shi Luo, who was lifted in his hand and looked discolored, and he said loudly: "Lao Tzu robbed a woman!" Haha-"
As he spoke, the big man threw Shi Luo to the ground, and before the latter could get up, he pounced on her, crushing her to the ground.
Seeing this, the people around them rushed to it as if they were crazy. Shi Luo in the crowd screamed and struggled, but it was useless, how could she break free from so many men as a girl.
Just as Shi Luo was about to be humiliated in public, a bloody man suddenly killed him. The man was almost red from head to toe, and even the sword in his hand shimmered red. The bloody man approached the crowd and swung the red blood sword in his hand.
With a series of crisp sounds, several big men were cut off their heads, and the blood sprayed from the broken necks poured on the faces and bodies of everyone in the crowd.
The corpses with severed heads, the screams of men and women, the exposed skin, and the scarlet blood made the scene almost a purgatory on earth. The big man who was pressing on Shi Luo wiped the blood from the top of his head and stood up violently. Looking at Shi Luo under him again, the curved robe on his body was almost torn to pieces, and the middle coat inside was almost turned into strips of rags, and then the dirty clothes and desecration inside
Trousers, looming.
The big man glared at the bloody man, roared, grabbed a long sword and flew at him.
He pounced fast, and the bloody man's sword was faster. The Chixiao Sword suddenly appeared in the air with a horizontal blood light, pounced on the big man who was him, the lower half of his body hit his body, and the part above the waist flew backwards.
Half of his body fell to the ground, his eyes were round, his mouth was still screaming, and his two hands kept clutching the ground, as if he wanted to get up from the ground.
The bloody man stepped forward, and a sword pierced his eyebrows, and the big man, who was only half of his body, finally quieted down.
This bloody man is none other than Liu Xiu. He swung the Chixiao Sword in his hand with all his might, and in the blink of an eye, he killed all the dozen or so big men around Shi Luo and fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Xiu quickly tore off the robe on his body, wrapped Shi Luo, who was already unclothed, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up!" β
Shi Luo looked at Liu Xiu blankly, and she was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, it turned out that at the moment of crisis, she was saved by Liu Xiu.
She howled uncontrollably, her arms tightly wrapped around Liu Xiu's waist, she had never been so afraid since she was a child, even when she married Wang Mang, even when the Han army broke through Chang'an. Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment, but still picked Shi Luo up by the waist. At this time, two more people rushed over, and the two spears stabbed at Liu Xiu together. Liu Xiu slid down on his feet, dodged to the side, and let go of the two spearheads, and then he suddenly approached forward
The shape jumped up, kicked out with both feet one after the other, and the tiptoes of the two big men were on the chests, making the two of them snort, staggering back a few steps, and then sitting on the ground with their butts, unable to stand up for a long time.
There were more enemies around to kill Liu Xiu and Shi Luo, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao arrived, and they, like Liu Xiu, were all covered in blood, and the three of them desperately protected Liu Xiu and ran towards the boats in the river.
The Tanxiang army behind them, like mad dogs, chased after them, but fortunately, when they entered the water, their speed was greatly affected.
Liu Xiu waded through the water, laboriously came to a small boat, Xiang put Shi Luo on the boat, and then with the help of the boatman, he also climbed onto the boat.
Long Yuan and the three of them followed, and they got on the boat one after another in embarrassment, and when they all came up, where did the boatman dare to stop, he immediately rowed and sailed in the direction of the opposite shore.
Even though Liu Xiu and the others got on the boat, the Tanxiang army that chased them into the river still did not give up.
People first ran through the water, and when the water was waistless and they couldn't run, people stabbed their sons again, dived into the water one after another, and continued to chase.
The speed of the boat was originally fast, but there were too many people on the boat, which greatly affected the speed of the boat.
Soon, the swimmers chased the boat closer, Liu Xiu, Long Yuan and the others were not polite at all, kneeling on the side of the boat, leaning out, and waving their swords at the people who tried to get on the boat.
In a short time, a layer of corpses floated around the boat, and the surrounding river was stained with blood.
This scene is both thrilling and shocking, so that the boaters can't help but vomit again and again.
It seems that there are not too many people with good water quality on the side of the Danxiang Army, and after being killed by Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao, the remaining Danxiang Army no longer dares to rashly chase after them. At this time, looking at the shore again, there were many torches, and they were already full of soldiers of the Danxiang army, among them, one of them rode a high-headed horse, holding a long knife, pointing at Liu Xiu and others on the boat, and shouted loudly: "Liu Xiu, my Tanxiang army and you are incompatible!"
β
Hearing the other party's words, Liu Xiu was almost angry.
Listening to the other party's meaning, it seems that they were provoked by their own side, but the actual situation is just the opposite, it is obviously the Tanxiang Army that took the initiative to provoke their own side, and now they are putting on a posture of revenge.
Liu Xiu slowly stood up on the boat, walked to the stern, his waist was straight, and shouted: "You can hear it clearly, if you are a thief in Tan Township, I Liu Xiu will punish him!" β
Just wait until I have soldiers in my hands! Liu Xiu silently added in his heart. Now he is a bare-bones commander, even if he has the heart to exterminate the Tanxiang army of this scourge, he does not have the ability and strength.
When the boat sailed through the center of the swinging water, people breathed a long sigh of relief, and their tense nerves were finally relaxed. Liu Xiu sat on the boat, panting heavily.
When he looked down at his hands, they were about to turn black-brown, the color of dried blood. At this time, he was tired, his muscles were sore, he was too lazy to wash his hands and face, and he sat on the boat, not wanting to move.
At this time, Shi Luo, who had already recovered, slowly walked up to Liu Xiu and whispered, "Liu ...... Lord Liu ......, "Mrs. Shi just calls me Uncle Wen." Liu Xiu glanced at Shi Luo weakly, her eyes were still red, her face was pale, with a frightened expression, she looked like a frightened little rabbit, which made people's hearts naturally raw
Out of pity.
The robe she gave her had been tightly wrapped by her, Shi Luo had always loved to be clean, but her robe was full of bloodstains, but at this time, she was wearing it on her body, wrapped in airtight.
Shi Luo slowly sat down not far from Liu Xiu, lowered his head and said, "Uncle Wen, just now...... Thank you. After a pause, she said again: "Uncle Wen can also call me Ah Luo." β
The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth raised, revealing a tired smile, and said faintly: "Since I brought you to Jizhou, I have the responsibility to ensure your safety, as long as I still have the ability." β
When Shi Luo heard this, he was both moved and grateful. She whispered, "Uncle Wen is a true gentleman!" β
In this world, there are more people who deceive the world and steal their reputations, on the surface they have the image of a righteous man and a gentleman, but they are full of male thieves and female prostitutes behind their backs.
Before Wang Mang usurped the throne, it could be called a moral model in the whole world, and he was deeply loved and praised by the people.
But what happened after he became the Son of Heaven? Show oneβs true colors. The ability to govern the world, no! High morality, and even more!
Ignorant and unreasonable, excluding dissidents, only caring about their own pleasures, not caring about the life or death of others at all, chaotic and treacherous.
In Shi Luo's eyes, only a person like Liu Xiu can be called a true gentleman. No matter what he does is right or wrong, at least he can do what he says, make a promise, be honest, and take faith as the standard.
Listening to Shi Luo's evaluation of himself, Liu Xiu was amused, laughed for a moment, he sighed thoughtfully, and said: "A Luo has won the award, I'm actually just an ordinary person." β
In the past, Liu Xiu was also a very proud person, but when his eldest brother was killed, he couldn't do anything, and he had to bow down to his brother's enemy. After experiencing so many hot and cold worlds and warm and cold people, Liu Xiu now no longer has the pride he was at the beginning. He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who couldn't change anything a lot of the time.
