Chapter 30: The Line Between Life and Death
The two men broke into the hut, and there was no place to see people, only the empty house remained. Li Shanze's horse galloped all the way, but he couldn't run in the direction of the road. If he ran in the direction of Jingzhou, he was afraid that Jinxi would not find a rescuer, which might harm Jinxi: if he ran in the direction of Jingmen, he was afraid that he would be too far away, and if Jinxi found a rescuer, he would not be able to save him in time. So he can only take advantage of the terrain here.
Li Shan rode his horse and galloped wildly, while listening to the sound of horses' hooves and shouts behind him, only to feel that his scalp was numb and blood poured into his pupils. How many times have I seen this plot in movies and television, but I didn't expect to experience it firsthand today. However, Li Shan didn't have the time to appreciate these now, he just wanted to know how to get out of the predicament. In this way, the three people you chased after me walked for more than half an hour, Li Shan was already exhausted, and the horse was a little unbearable. In fact, Li Shan's horse is better than Du Ziteng's, but Li Shan's riding skills are not as good as theirs, so he has never opened up the gap.
Li Shan saw that Du Ziteng's horse was gradually slowing down, and it seemed that he was going to open the distance, and he was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that Lao Tzu would be able to escape from death. Just a few seconds after being happy, the second and third children who were chasing Su Jinxi before actually came back and gambled him in front of Li Shan. The pursuit of the two turned into a front and back attack, and Li Shan could no longer run, and was surrounded by four people in the center.
Du Ziteng also revealed his true form, took off his hat and said viciously: "Li Shan, you can really run." Now can you still run? Li Shan was also unwilling in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Presumably Li Chengwei sent you to deal with me, I didn't expect the royal family and the governor of Jingzhou to do this." Du Ziteng said: "If you don't know what to do, Master Li can be provoked?" Tell you that today is your time of death. ”
Li Shan can only delay time by talking about it now, and said with a smile: "You want to kill me, Su Jinxi and the village woman have already run away, even if you kill me, you will not escape death, you and I have no deep hatred, why bother to force each other?" Du Ziteng glanced at the second and third children, and saw that the second and third children nodded to indicate that Li Shan was right. Du Ziteng was also annoyed with these two useless wastes, but now that he was ready to send them, he looked at Li Shan and said: "It doesn't matter if Su Jinxi runs away, Lord Li will catch Su Jinxi in his hands sooner or later, as for you, you should die with peace of mind." ”
Li Shan didn't believe that Du Ziteng would hand over his life for Li Chengwei, so he continued: "I really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be Li Chengwei's dead soldier, someone who can die for Li Chengwei." Du Ziteng smiled: "We won't die, it will only be you who will die, you will not see people alive or dead, who can do anything to us at that time?" Even if someone wants to trouble us, Master Li will help us solve it. I think you'd better accept your fate. Seeing that Du Ziteng couldn't be fooled like this, Li Shan's face was silent, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he sneered: "Do you know who I am?" Kill me, you want to live? It seems that Li Chengwei didn't tell you the truth, he actually made up his mind to abandon you. ”
Du Ziteng hated Li Shan's confident appearance very much, and he wanted to kill him immediately, but he had to think about what Li Shan said, and said impatiently: "What do you mean, you make it clear." Li Shan saw that there was a door, so he could only move out of the old bustard of the drunken red mansion again: "I am friends with the sons of the two important ministers in Jingzhou, and I dare to argue with Li Chengwei head-on, and I can also redeem Su Jinxi casually, and the most important thing is that my surname is Li." Li Shan deliberately didn't explain, but this was more deterrent, and sure enough, Du Ziteng's face changed greatly, and his voice trembled a little: "You, you are also a royal family." Li Shan smiled slightly, did not answer directly, and said: "Do you think that if you kill me, Li Chengwei will protect you, and Li Chengwei will protect you?" He'll be sure to kill you first. Therefore, if you kill me, not only will it be good, but you will incur the disaster of killing yourself. ”
Du Ziteng hesitated now, Li Chengwei was more and more dissatisfied with him, after inviting Xiange and Drunken Red Mansion twice, he didn't want to see him, and now he sent him a scholar to kill people, it seems that he really wants to give up on him. Just when Du Ziteng hesitated, the boss spoke: "Lord Du, don't listen to that kid's nonsense, you see where he looks like a royal prince, if he is a royal prince, how can we not know for so long, we have been following this kid these days, and he is just climbing the high branch of Sun Helian." If we let this kid go now, Master Li will definitely not let us go when we go back. "These brothers are all life-defying goods, and they are people who have committed big things, so they are counting on Li Chengwei to do it, so they naturally want to get things done.
After listening to the boss's words, Du Ziteng also felt reasonable, and now there is no good way, he will not do anything, gritted his teeth and said: "Tell you to fool the kid, the boss, the second and third, hurry up and stop him." ”
Li Shan wanted to resist, but the three big men were holding murder weapons, and Li Shan's already thin body was dragged off the horse before he could resist. The boss raised the dagger and stabbed it at Li Shan's chest. Li Shan finally felt the fear of death and instinctively closed his eyes. Just listen to the "whoosh", followed by a scream from the boss. Li Shan didn't feel the pain of the dagger entering his body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the boss was holding his arm with his other hand, and a dart was stuck in his forearm, and the dagger had fallen to the ground. Then I heard Su Jinxi's voice: "Xianggong, don't be afraid, Jinxi is here to save you." ”
Of course, there was another person who came with Su Jinxi, but that person was masked and wearing a hat, and he couldn't see his face at all. But just at the life-saving dart he sent just now, Li Shan also knew that he was saved today. didn't dare to hesitate, and when Du Ziteng and the others lost their minds, they quickly rolled over and escaped from the encirclement of several people.
Du Ziteng seemed to be extraordinary, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he said inwardly: "Who are you?" Why meddle. The man didn't speak, raised his hand and a dart, directly rubbing Du Ziteng's hairline and whistling, Du Ziteng's voice stopped abruptly, and quickly took his brother on the horse and ran away. Li Shan looked at the four people who fled in embarrassment, and sighed that martial arts are good, no kung fu can only be bullied, and the taste of people swordsmanship and fish is really uncomfortable. Turned to the man: "Thank you Shaoxia for coming to the rescue, I don't know the name of the honorable man at the time, Li Shan will be rewarded." ”
The man waved his hand and said, "Gongzi Li doesn't have to care, I was also entrusted by someone to protect Gongzi Li." As soon as these words came out, Li Shan was a little puzzled, when did he have such a friend who would protect him like this, and he was surprised that this person turned out to be a woman. Li Shan asked again: "I don't know who the girl is entrusted with, but I still want to find out." The man didn't answer much, but just arched his hand and said, "The little girl doesn't have much to say about this matter, and the son will naturally know when the time comes." Next, I will escort Childe all the way. Li Shan didn't ask again when he saw her say this, but said, "I don't know what the girl is called?" The man arched his hand and said, "Childe call me Qing'er." ”
It was not early, and I couldn't go any further, so I had to go back to the hut for one night, and then go to Jingmen tomorrow. When I returned to the thatched hut, I saw the woman packing up her things, it turned out that she hid in the ravine with the child for a while but did not leave, and she felt that she was okay and wanted to come back to pack her things, which happened to meet Li Shan. Seeing Li Shan, he was startled, and Li Shan hurriedly explained, "It's okay, sister-in-law, we have rescuers, the enemy has been beaten away, and you are already safe." We came back this time just to rest for one night and we'll leave tomorrow. The woman saw that Li Shan's tone was relaxed, and she also put her mind at ease, and said, "Okay, are you sure it's really okay?" Li Shan took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and said: "I really don't want to let you be scared before, this is a little compensation, you must accept it." The woman hesitated, but took it. Because the thatched hut was very small, Li Shan and the others could only squeeze into a small room and barely survive for a night.
