Chapter 264: Life and Death

Lu Zhen was in the grassland before, and his days in Guangling were not in vain, and his riding skills were indeed practiced. Even in such a dark night, he was able to raise his horse's speed very high, urging the horse to chase forward.

But after chasing after a ride, he felt a sinking in his heart, and in his urgency, he obviously ignored one point, that is, he actually didn't have any combat power, and he only cared about saving people just now, and left this one behind. Fortunately, Zhu Chang and the two of them should be able to catch up, plus he and the girl are both riding horses, it shouldn't be too difficult to get rid of the widows after catching up.

Immediately, Lu Zhen put aside the distracting thoughts, immediately lifted the reins, and continued to urge the horse to gallop. Soon, he saw an astonishing scene in the darkness ahead—

Somehow, the girl's horse was lying on the side of the road, and the wreaks were smiling and smiling around her. Although there was still some distance away, and it was in the dark night, Lu Zhen could still feel the girl's panic and fear.

It turned out that this girl did not know how to ride, and just now with the instinct of survival, she hugged the horse's neck and did not let herself fall off the horse's back. However, she could not actively control the direction of the horses.

And the horse, which was already a little frightened, was slashed by the back of the guards, and immediately spread its hooves and galloped without hesitation, but did not even look at the road. Originally, if the knight's riding skills were good enough, he could still make a remedy, but the girl didn't even bother to look at the road, so this man and his horse finally stumbled on the stones on the side of the road after running out of the road for a while, and the horse's hooves were weak, and he fell down.

The girl on horseback was also affected by this, and fell to the ground in embarrassment, unable to get up for a long time. And during this delay, the three would-be robbers who came after them arrived, and when they saw that the people and horses had fallen, they were overjoyed, and seemed to have the idea of playing with cats and mice, so they didn't pounce directly on the people, but slowly surrounded them, wanting to put a little pressure on the girl first.

But at this moment, there was another hoof sound behind them, and the faces of the three of them suddenly changed. Although they did not look back, they already knew that it would definitely not be their own people, because they did not have horses to travel, so they could only be officers and soldiers rushing to save people.

Immediately, the uninjured widow exerted his strength under his feet, and rushed towards the girl who was struggling but unable to get up, while the remaining two wounded ones turned back suddenly, and the sword was quickly drawn as they turned around, and the long knife swept across, and they wanted to stop the rescuers who came.

And Lu Jin, after seeing this scene, knew that he couldn't wait for Zhu Chang and them, so he gritted his teeth and rushed forward fiercely. In his thoughts, he wanted to use the momentum of the horse to scare the three widows back for a while, and then save the girl on the ground, and finally take her to continue to escape.

However, the reaction of these robbers was really fast, and they quickly turned around and took the initiative to attack when they rushed over. This made Lu Jin's heart raise high again, and looking at the two flickering and cold knives that swept over, he knew that he had no way out.

"Fight!" At the moment when the two sides were about to make contact, Lu Zhen gritted his teeth, and at the same time lifted the reins with both hands, and his legs slammed into the horse's belly. The horse, which was quite a miraculous horse, also sensed the approaching danger, and under Lu Jin's control, immediately let out a long neigh, and its hind hooves suddenly exerted force, and immediately jumped high.

"Boom ......" The two swords swept out fiercely, slashing out an astonishing wind sound in the air, but they fell into the air.

"Hu ......" Lu Zhen and the horse under his crotch were like dragons soaring into the air, and they jumped up and dodged at the moment when the blade was about to cut the horse's leg, and at the same time, they also jumped over the heads of the two short widows!

This leap is a distance of two feet! Obviously, when the horse's life is in danger, it also bursts out with amazing strength.

This sudden change was too fast, and the two blocking widows were a little stunned, and the widows behind them who wanted to take down the girl alone didn't expect this change. What's worse is that no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than a four-legged horse. No sooner had he swooped down on the girl than the horse sprang up behind him.

The horse's hind legs were still high in the air, but the front legs were already falling. And Lu Jin, at this time, only pulled the reins slightly and controlled the angle at which the horse's legs fell. The unsuspecting widow was struck by the horse's front legs as soon as he landed on his back!

"Puff ......" The two bowl-sized hooves smashed into the back of the dwarf wolf with momentum and momentum, trampling him to the ground and stepping into the mud.

A dull scream erupted from his mouth, along with a large mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs—a step that not only broke his back and spine, but also his organs. He only had time to let out such a scream before he was completely settled.

The girl was already completely desperate, but unexpectedly, someone jumped from the front like a god descended from the sky, and trampled the thief who wanted to take her down to death. This made her completely stunned, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

But Lu Zhen did not lose his mind because of this, quickly bent down and stretched out his arms, and shouted at the stunned girl: "Miss Yu, give me your hand!" ”

I don't know for what reason, although the whole person is still a little foggy, the girl still subconsciously raised her delicate little hand and shook it with the big hand that Lu Jin's probed over.

Then, she only felt that her body was light, she had been pulled up by the other party, and then her waist was also tight, and she was actually hugged by this strange man...... Carried into his arms.

"You ......" felt the steady heartbeat coming from the back, and the warm and generous touch, which made the girl's heart beat violently, and the pretty face, which was originally pale from fear, quickly turned red.

But Lu Jin, who was behind him, didn't have the heart to take care of the girl's shy mind at all, and after pulling the person on the horse, he immediately shook the reins again and galloped forward. At this time, there are still two sword-wielding widows behind them, as long as they catch up, not only the girl in front of them, but also the fierce and unlucky.

"Whew......" Lu Jin's judgment is obviously correct. Just as he was spurring his horse forward, a sword slashed at someone's howl. Had he hadn't rushed out in time, the knife would have cleaved the horse to a serious injury.

But before Lu Zhen could rejoice that he had escaped the catastrophe, another sound of breaking the air quickly came from behind. Lu Zhen only turned his body away, and when he glanced back, his face changed. When another widow found that his companion's knife had missed, and Lu Jin's two were about to rush forward as soon as they rode on, he actually threw the sword over with a flick of his hand, and grabbed Lu Jin's back.

Lu Zhen didn't care about any male and female defense at this time, and immediately hugged the girl in his arms, and then fell down, and at the same time used all his strength with both hands and legs, and rode his horse forward and galloped out.

"Hu ......" The long knife almost touched Lu Jin's back - flew out, and finally hit the ground, and he also felt a chill in his back, and then a hot pain came over. Obviously, although he managed to get down and avoid being stabbed, the blade still cut through several layers of his clothes and injured his back.

Although he was injured, Lu Zhen was greatly relieved, and this time, he was finally safe for the time being. Behind them, although there were still two Japanese robbers howling angrily, they were getting farther and farther away.

"You...... Can you get up? I'm running out of breath. A faint voice with shame suddenly came from underneath, making Lu Jin, who was a little relieved, suddenly remember that he was still holding down, or holding a girl. This made him hurriedly agree, and as soon as he quickly stepped forward, he separated the two people who were originally close together.

But with such a force, he pulled the knife wound on his back, which made Lu Jin's brows furrow and couldn't help but let out a moan.

The girl's whole face was as red as a red cloth, and her heart beat three points faster than when she had faced the widows alone. She is only fifteen years old this year, and she has not yet been married, let alone hugged so closely with a strange man, and has hardly been alone with a strange man.

At this time, she was completely out of proportion, and she didn't know what to say or what to do, until she subconsciously turned around and saw Lu Jin's frowning brows and the sweat on her forehead, she felt a little bad: "You...... Are you hurt? ”

Lu Jin's two hands tightly controlled the reins, and his body leaned back slightly, keeping a distance from the girl, and said, "It's a little injured, but it can still hold on." Miss Yu, you didn't hurt anything, did you? ”

"I'm fine." Miss Yu replied softly, then looked at the dark surroundings, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "What should we do next?" Will the thieves catch up? ”

Although the shouts of the widows could no longer be heard behind him, Lu Zhen knew that after he trampled one of their companions to death, the other party would not let him go, not to mention that the girl he saved was also what they were determined to get. So after a little hesitation, he said: "They should still be behind, we must find a place to hide first, otherwise this horse will ......"

As if to prove what he said, the horse under his crotch stumbled suddenly, and almost lost his front hooves and fell to the ground.

The rush and chase just now, and the rapid start and stop after that, and the high jump, have already exhausted the horse's physical strength. After all, this is not a good horse used in the north for cavalry combat, and after some tossing, it has reached its limit.

Fortunately, Lu Zhen grabbed the reins in time and didn't let it really fall, but it was also in a hurry for a while. When he stopped and dismounted, he realized why the horse was so bad, but he saw that there was a deep wound on the horse's left hind leg, and it was obvious that they had not completely avoided the slash of the previous widow.

The horse was injured, and naturally it was no longer able to drive, Lu Zhen couldn't help but look around, but found that the position he was in was not very good......
