The surrounding spectators whistled and laughed together. Originally, seeing that the two men on horseback were going out to save people, they were all looking forward to the show with high interest, but Liu Zhongwu and Han Gang's performances were really not on the stage.
"Hey, get closer! Shoot the hair! "A couple of good boys, shouting there.
was cheered up, Liu Zhongwu looked unmoved. His temperament is always calm, otherwise he would not be valued by Xiang Bao. It's just that if he continues to shoot like this, it is also a waste of arrows, and he and Han Gang don't have many arrows on their bodies, and they will shoot out in the blink of an eye. He stopped and put away his bow, pulled out a pair of iron slips, and turned back to Han Gang for advice.
Han Gang thought about it for a moment, nodded, and put away his bow as well. Pulling out the waist knife and pointing forward, Liu Zhongwu rushed out. The horse is tall and the wolf is short, and the wolf can't be smashed with an iron slip, but the momentum in the hand is different. The sound of hooves sounded like a heavy drum, and a series of knocks passed. One man and one horse rampaged among the wolves, and before the several vicious wolves blocking the road could react, they were knocked away by Gao Jun's red horse. A few unlucky wolves whined in the air, and after falling to the ground with a bang, they didn't dare to look back, and directly hid to the side to lick the [Harmony Patch] wound.
Han Gang followed closely behind Liu Zhongwu, and the snow that was lifted by the red horse splashed his face all over his body. It's just that he looked at Chi Li's bravery, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, after all, the war horse after strict training is different, unlike the stagecoach he ridden, hesitating in front of the wolves, if he hadn't whipped a few whips, and there were Chi Lu charging in front, how could he not dare to rush into the wolves.
Liu Zhongwu broke up the siege of the wolves, appeared next to the car, and shouted: "Don't hurry up and come out!" ”
A chubby old man then got out of the car, dressed like an official. Liu Zhongwu secretly screamed bad luck, raised his hand and pulled the old man onto the horse. As soon as the old man was pulled on the horse, he was originally blocked by his body in the carriage behind, revealing a pretty face like a flower.
White hair and red face is the best portrayal of a pear flower pressing begonia, I don't know if Su Shi laughed at Zhang Xian's poem, has he written it now. Han Gang followed closely behind Liu Zhongwu, sighing that he was very lucky and found a beauty.
"Offended!" Rushing to the side of the carriage, Han Gang stretched out his arm, grabbed the beauty's slender jade hand, and pulled it hard, and the warm fragrant nephrite was hugged in his arms. With her left hand around Meijiao's [Long Live Harmony] mother, as soon as her legs clamped the horse's belly, she was about to follow Liu Zhongwu to rush out of the encirclement of the wolves.
Liu Zhongwu pressed the old man horizontally in front of the saddle, like a downed rice bag, and several vicious wolves that were provoked to be ferocious circled around Liu Zhongwu. All of them opened their teeth and claws, trying to rush up and bite a few bites. It's just that Liu Zhongwu's horse is good, and he started to accelerate again without much effort, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed forward to the intersection on the other side.
The beauty in her arms hugged Han Gang tightly, her plump body was as soft as cotton, if it was normal, Han Gang would definitely wish to be held for a longer time, but in the midst of the wolves, she couldn't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible. He suffered from the cowardice and uselessness of the stagecoach, and shook the reins vigorously, but the stagecoach turned twice in place and refused to move. When a wolf saw an opportunity, he opened his mouth, jumped up and bit it. The yellowed sharp teeth with saliva came straight towards Han Gang's feet.
Han Gang swung his waist knife and smashed it down, the blade of the knife didn't use any force, but the tip of the knife still dragged a bloody cut on the wolf's nose. Although the wound is not large, the nose is also considered a key point in canines. The wolf fell to the ground and screamed in circles, blood flowing down its fur to the ground. The surrounding hungry wolves smelled the blood and became even more agitated, except for a few who were still buried in the carcasses of the horses, the other twenty hungry wolves all surrounded them with green eyes.
Damn it! Han Gang smiled bitterly, he couldn't go now. didn't care about pity and cherished the jade, and pushed the beauty in his arms back into the carriage. With a wave of his sword, he forced the wolves away, and jumped from his horse to the front of the carriage with a bow and arrows. Standing still at the door of the carriage, he turned his hand and slashed the butt of the stagecoach who had trapped him in the wolves with the back of his knife, and the stagecoach hissed miserably, jumped a few times, and rushed out of the gang.
"This brute!" Han Gang scolded.
However, after dismounting, his situation changed for the better. The stagecoach jumped out of the wolves, but instead lured away more than half of the hungry wolves, and the horses and wolves went straight for a group of spectators. The volume hall was scattered, the wolves rushed to the pigs, the crying father and the mother, and the embarrassment of the visitors made Han Gang's heart bloom. He forcefully thrust his waist knife into the wooden board of the carriage, pulled his bow and arrows, and did not shoot out, but shouted: "Liu Zhongwu, shoot the back!" Li Xiaoliu, take the horse well! ”
Liu Zhongwu had already thrown the rescued old man on the ground, and the old man's servants were not of any use, but they rushed over to offer their courtesy. The old guy was very well maintained, and although his hair was all white, it was full of red, and the fat that exuded wealth had diluted the wrinkles a lot.
Liu Zhongwu also went to the ground. Fang was afraid that the wolf would come back, and neither he nor Han Gang dared to dismount. But at this time, Han Gang had already attracted the attention of the wolves, and Han Gang's mount brought half of them to the opposite side of the chariot and horse, and Liu Zhongwu could stand on the ground with peace of mind, aiming and shooting arrows one by one.
"Medium!"
The bowstring sounded, and the long arrow that flew out of Liu Zhongwu's bow shot a thin wolf through it, and the residual momentum on the arrow did not decrease, and the prey worn on the arrow had to be taken out of the snow on the snow. After warming up, Liu Zhongwu's archery skills finally returned to the level they should have, although the heavy bow with two stones was not as good as the one used by Liu Changzuo on the West Road, which was known as the magic arrow, but it was also the top level in the army.
"Medium!"
Another arrow was fired, and with a roar, the other wolf was carried up by the sharp arrow of his accustomed strength.
"Medium!"
"Medium!"
"Medium!"
"Medium!"
Liu Zhongwu drank an arrow, and the shouting shook the four fields. The sound of the bowstring followed closely, and one hungry wolf after another was pierced and carried up by his heavy arrows. The face that he had just lost was redeemed by his outstanding performance now. In the blink of an eye, the hungry wolves surrounding Han Gang were reduced by half.
And Han Gang held a bow and arrow, not moving like a mountain. It's not that he can't shoot, he learned a few archery skills from Wang Sunchen some time ago, and he can shoot four arrows in one breath with a bead shot, although the accuracy is not enough, but shooting a target the size of a wolf at close range will not miss anywhere.
But Han Gang had no intention of showing his bravery, he half-opened his bow and arrows, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at the wolves in front of him, which was an effective way for him to deal with wild beasts as he knew. And the hungry wolves in front of him, with a fierce voice in their throats and grinning their teeth, did not dare to step forward for a while.
The two parties confronted each other, and Liu Zhongwu smoothly cleaned up the wolves from behind. Seeing that the number of hungry wolves was getting smaller and smaller, more than half of Han Gang's spirit moved to Liu Zhongwu, because he was afraid that he would 'accidentally' shoot an arrow at himself.
The warm touch came from behind this time, and it was rich and elastic. I don't know if it's because of timidity, the beauty in the car stuck to Han Gang's body from behind. Surrounded by wolves in front and embraced by beautiful women in the back, Han Gang felt like he had fallen into the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire for a while.
"Medium!"
Liu Zhongwu struggled to shoot another arrow, piercing the waist of a hungry wolf. Amid the screams, the wolves were finally dispersed, and they fled the official road and ran towards the surrounding snowfields. When Han Gang saw it, he hurriedly pulled the beauty in the car and took her out of the carriage. The wolves are only leaving temporarily, and as long as the dead horses have not been gnawed, they will definitely return.
Liu Zhongwu greeted him with a bow, "Han Guanren, is there anything wrong?" ”
Han Gang let go of the hand holding the beautiful woman, and smiled at Liu Zhongwu: "Brother Ziwen's archery skills are really excellent, it seems that when he arrives in front of the palace, he will definitely take the lead." ”
"Thanks to the good words of the officials." Liu Zhongwu just performed well, his head was high, although he still looked calm and steady, but his flying eyebrows and slightly upturned lips couldn't hide the excitement in his heart at all, "But it's still not as brave as the officials, standing in front of the wolves, and his face doesn't change." No wonder you can become an official before you are twenty. ”
Han Gang and Liu Zhongwu were touting each other, talking nonsense. The woman who was rescued by Han Gang was still standing next to her, and her words were in her ears, and she couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes in surprise. I thought it was an ordinary martial artist passing by, but I didn't expect it to be an official and a quasi-official who was going to perform martial arts in front of the palace.
"Old man Zhang Yu, thank you for the life-saving grace of the two heroes......" The rescued old man saw the danger in the past, and was helped over by the famous Ding to thank him. The woman hurriedly left Han Gang and walked to Zhang Yu's side obediently. Holding his body, he attached it to his ear and didn't know what to say. Zhang Yu's face changed.
"It turned out to be two officials," Zhang Yu's expression became a little solemn, "The old man is not traveling well, and he is in danger of falling into the wolf's mouth." Thanks to the help of the two benevolent fathers, they were able to get out of this misfortune. The grace of saving lives must be repaid. The right to invite the two benevolent fathers and receive a gift from the old age, and then talk about the rest. ”
Zhang Yu hurriedly took care of it, and he was already different from Fang Cai's embarrassment, and he looked very generous, not like an ordinary squire. Although he is drooping and old, and a little fat, from his upright eyebrows, it can still be seen that he must have been a merry man when he was young. And his words are also the voice of the literati. It's just that Zhang Yu's accent makes Han Gang feel very unfamiliar, and he shouldn't be from the northwest.
"It's from Fujian." Lu Ming squeezed behind Han Gang at some point and said in a low voice. Behind him, Li Xiaoliu was leading a few horses, and Han Gang's stagecoach was also caught and dragged by him. The horse was as timid as a mouse, but it was chased by a dozen wolves and ran around, but not even a piece of skin was broken.
'Why did the Fujian people run to Shaanxi, listening to this Zhang Yu's words, it seems that they are not officials who have come here to serve. The doubts were fleeting, and Han Gang gave up guessing, it had nothing to do with him anyway. He stepped forward to help Zhang Yu up: "With a lot of effort, why worry about it." Since the old man is unharmed, Han still has to hurry, so he will not accompany him, so don't blame him. ”
