The news that Liu Pi rode a horse to investigate in front of him suddenly frightened Liu Hao and the others, a force of hundreds of cavalry can definitely destroy their group of people several times back and forth, and from the slight tremor of the earth, it can be known that this cavalry is coming.

Liu Hao immediately said: "Brother Liu Bi, you ride a horse and take Liu Ji and Niuniu to hurry up, Lao Tie and I take the women and children up the mountain, and we meet in Qi County, Changping County, Yongzhou!" ”
Liu Ji was shocked when he heard it and said, "Dad, we ......"
Liu Hao interrupted what Liu Ji was about to say with a wave of his hand, and said in an unquestionable tone: "There is no time for you to grind, look at Niuniu!" Without the drag of you and Niuniu, Uncle Tie and I will be fine! ”
At this time, Liu Bi urged the horse to walk to Liu Ji's side, and immediately dragged Liu Ji onto the war horse, and let Liu Ji sit in front of his body, "Lord, what Master Liu said is right!" There's no time to hesitate! ”
Liu Tie then hugged Liu Niuniu to Liu Ji, Liu Ji knew that this was the only way to do at this time, he hugged his sister tightly, and shouted at Liu Hao and Liu Tie: "Dad!" Uncle Tie! You have to be careful! ”
Liu Ji and Liu Niuniu sat in front of Liu Bi, which did not affect Liu Bi's control of the war horse, Liu Pi shook the reins, and controlled the war horse to gallop in the direction when it came.
Liu Hao yelled at the frightened women: "Take the child and run up the mountain, don't turn back and keep running." ”
Then Liu Hao and Liu Tie took the lead and fled to the mountain, at this time Liu Hao did not have the ability to care about the life and death of the women and children, life and death are fateful, whether they can escape or not, can only depend on the creation of the women and children.
If it was for Liu Ji and Liu Niuniu, let Liu Hao and Liu Tie work hard, the two of them would not even hesitate, they would definitely draw a knife and rush up, but for the sake of these women and children, Liu Hao and Liu Tie were not willing to take their own lives.
Liu Hao, Liu Tie and others had just fled to the mountain, and a large number of cavalry wearing various clothes appeared at the bend of the col a hundred steps away, at least more than 100 horsemen.
"Don't let those women run away! Dismount and chase up the mountain! ”
"The man and the child are killed, to avenge the dead brothers, and the woman must stay!"
"That's right! The woman stays, everyone is refreshed! Ha ha! ”
"There are still people running on horseback in front, take out a few people to chase after us, and dare to kill our clouds, don't let any of these victims run away!"
More than 100 bandit cavalry, except for 6 or 7 people who continued to urge the horse to chase Liu Pi, Liu Ji and Liu Niuniu, the rest of the bandits came to the foot of the mountain, except for a dozen people who stayed to watch the war horses, the other nearly 100 bandits all dismounted and immediately chased the mountain.
Many of these bandits carried bows and arrows, and the women and children who fled from the mountains were within range of their bows and arrows, but in order to capture alive the fleeing women, these bandits did not use bows and arrows, but shouted and chased after them.
The war horse that Liu Bi captured from the bandits is quite good, and Liu Ji and Liu Niuniu are not heavy, so although it is a war horse shared by 3 people, it does not affect the speed of this war horse, of course, Liu Bi's riding skills are also the key.
In the end, Liu Bi, Liu Ji and Liu Niuniu rode this war horse and ran out of nearly 20 miles in one go, and the bandit cavalry who chased them only gave up after chasing a short distance, and there was no trace for a long time.
Liu Bi slowed down the speed of the war horse, and said to Liu Ji with a sigh of relief: "Lord, there should be no danger for the time being, those bandit cavalry seem to have given up chasing us." ”
Liu Ji's face was a little pale, whether it was in his previous life or in this world, Liu Ji had never ridden a horse, this time was equivalent to Liu Ji's first time riding a horse, and the war horse ran so fast, Liu Jidian's feeling was displaced, and the sour water in his stomach kept gushing up, this uncomfortable energy was really ecstatic.
"Niu Niu, how are you? Is it uncomfortable or not? Liu Ji endured his disgust and asked his sister with concern.
Liu Niuniu's face was also pale, and when she heard Liu Ji's question, she nodded pitifully, and choked with tears in her eyes: "Brother, Dad and Uncle Tie won't be caught by the bad guys, right?" ”
"Don't worry! With the skills of Dad and Uncle Tie, if you want to escape, those bandits can't stop them. Liu Ji said in a very affirmative tone, but when Liu Ji said this, he also had his own intention of comforting himself.
"Brother, when can we see Dad and Uncle Tie?"
Liu Ji touched Liu Niuniu's little brain and said, "As long as Niuniu is obedient, it won't take a few days for us to see Dad and Uncle Tie." ”
Liu Niuniu nodded again and again and said: "Niuniu is obedient, Niuniu must listen to her brother." ”
Then Liu Ji turned his head and said to Liu Bi in a deep voice: "Now this mountain road can't be walked, we must find other ways to Yongzhou." ”
Liu Bi nodded and said: "The lord is right, the bandits will not only have cavalry, since even the cavalry exceeds 100 cavalry, then the number of bandit infantry must be more, this mountain road really can't be walked, but we don't know the other routes in Yongzhou, it's best to ask people nearby." ”
Then Liu Ji and Liu Pi discussed it and decided to go west, Yongzhou was in the south, they could go west for a while, and then bypass the group of bandits that appeared in front, and then rush to Qi County in Changping County, Yongzhou, to meet Liu Hao and Liu Tie.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Bi led the war horse to the outside of a village, and Liu Ji sat on the war horse with Liu Niuniu in his arms, the village was built in a dirt enclosure, but the wooden door of this earthen enclosure was missing at this time, and there was no movement in the village, which was a little weird.
"Lord, the situation in the village in front is unknown, the subordinates will go first to investigate, if there is no danger, the lord and the young lady will go in again."
"Liu Bi, be careful yourself, or you can ride in on a horse! If the situation is not right, I will withdraw quickly, I will not be able to fiddle with this horse myself anyway. ”
"Lord, then you and Miss will hide in this wild grass first, and then go back when you go down!"
Liu Bi took Liu Ji and Liu Niuniu off the war horse, and led the war horse to the village in front, and Liu Ji took Liu Niuniu and immediately hid in the half-human-high barren grass.
"Brother, Niuniu is hungry."
"Niuniu, there are still a few pieces of roast venison here, you eat a little bit first, but the roast meat is cold and a little hard." Liu Ji took out a cloth bag from his arms, and after opening the cloth bag, there were 4 pieces of roast venison inside, each of which had to be more than half a catty, Liu Ji took a piece of venison and put it in Liu Niuniu's hand.
These roast venison was last night, after everyone finished eating, Liu Ji asked Liu Bi to cut off more than 2 catties of venison and roast it, Liu Ji tasted the taste of hunger, since he had the opportunity to reserve some to eat, Liu Ji did not hesitate to use his special identity and hide some for himself, not to mention that the venison was originally obtained by Liu Bi.
As for the strange eyes of the other people in the fleeing crowd, they were directly ignored by Liu Ji.
"Brother, you can eat too! Alas, Niuniu will have to hide some food like her brother in the future, otherwise she will be hungry and uncomfortable. ”
"Brother is not hungry, Niuniu eat quickly!"
The roast venison is indeed very hard after it is cold, which makes Liu Niuniu bite very hard, but Liu Niuniu doesn't care, although she is only 7 years old, but these days of fleeing have made Liu Niuniu understand the preciousness of food, absolutely not picky eaters, gnawing hard venison, it is better than being hungry.
Without much effort, Liu Bi led the war horse back to the barren grass outside the village, Liu Ji saw Liu Bi coming back, and immediately stood up from the barren grass and asked, "Liu Bi, what's the situation in the village?" Is anyone else there? ”
Liu Bi sighed gloomily and said: "Lord, there are no living people in this village, judging by the situation, it should have just been attacked by a gang of bandits, there are at least hundreds of corpses of villagers in the village, but there are not many corpses of women, they should have been taken away." ”
