Shi Xun and Cai Mao went to Longzhong to visit Huang Chengyan in the same car, but they didn't think that they were about to go, but they suddenly heard a loud shout in front of them, and someone blocked the road. When I looked up, I saw a tall horse standing proudly on the road against a sparse forest, and the knight immediately stretched his bow and arrows, aiming at his group. Cai Mao frowned: "Who are you, blocking my way, don't you want to rob?" The knight replied coldly, "Please wait a little longer, and then let you go." ”

Shi Xun whispered to Cai Mao: "This thief who looks like the wind, I don't know what they are doing in the forest ahead. Let's take a detour. Cai Mao sneered: "In my Jingzhou, on the edge of Xiangyang City, how can wild thieves be allowed to run rampant?" Hongfu and sit down, waiting for Mao to take down this dog thief! "It was Xun Xin who said that if you come on a horse, hold a spear, and lead a soldier, you can naturally go to get the thief, and now you come by car, and you only have a jade sword at hand, how do you put it right with that knight? Don't take the thief but be taken by the thief! was about to dissuade him, but Cai Mao pressed the long sword in his hand and jumped under the car.

The changes since then can be said to be lightning fast, at least Xun is not as fast as his ears. saw Cai Mao jump under the car, take his entourage, and jump forward. The knight on the other side pursed his mouth, immediately released the bowstring, and shot an arrow at Cai Mao's chest. Looking at the arrow in front of him, a good Cai Deqi fell slightly, and a servant who was originally following him jumped forward, and actually took the initiative to block it with his body - "poof", the arrow entered the ribs, and the person fell to the sky.

As soon as Cai Mao saw the servant fall, he didn't help him, but instead bypassed and accelerated again, and at the same time, he had already pulled the long sword from his waist out of its sheath. The opposing knight had just shot one of them. Then he immediately reached out and drew an arrow from the pot and put it on the bowstring. However, the two sides are not far away. Cai Mao's movement was so swift that before the enemy could open his bow, he was already in front of his horse.

Immediately, the knight was forced to throw his bow and arrows, and he lifted his spear from the side of the saddle bridge and stabbed Cai Mao in the chest. Cai Mao was not in a hurry, dodged slightly, and at the same time stabbed a sword into the horse. The horse neighed and fell to the side. Immediately, the knight had just jumped off the ground when he was pounced on by two servants of the Cai family and held it firmly. Cai Mao dispatched: "Leave two to guard the carriage, two to tie up the thief, and the rest to go into the forest to find out." ”

Shi Xun looked at it from afar, and couldn't help but applaud secretly, saying in his heart that he was worthy of being a general of Jingzhou, of course, this skill could not be compared with Tai Shici. He may not even be able to beat Guan Hai in his heyday, but he is not an extraordinary mediocre person - it is estimated that the force value is above 70, and this one can properly win against himself by twenty.

Seeing that Cai Mao led the three of them to the forest, Shi Xun had to kneel on the car and wait, but he couldn't help himself, and his right hand also put the sword under his waist. The time is not much. I heard the sound of shouting in the forest, and then I saw Cai Mao holding a sword in his right hand, and holding a person in his left hand to hurriedly retreat out - the three servants who entered the forest with him were all gone.

Ah, is Xun Xin saying that he has met a thief from everyone? At this time, the servants who stayed outside the forest. Two of them had already tied up the thief and threw it beside the carriage. The other two men who had been appointed to guard the carriage were all armed to meet them. Cai Mao pushed the person in his hand to a servant: "Send it to the carriage, it's good to be protected!" Then he turned and faced the woods.

Shi Xun didn't expect that five or six knights would burst out of the forest, half of them holding spears, and the other half holding bows and arrows. I saw Cai Mao's face pale, and he shouted loudly: "Where are you thieves, do you know who it is?!" After Xun Xin finished speaking, he hurriedly signed up in the face of a large group of enemies, which shows that Cai Mao is not sure of winning at all, so he hopes to scare the other party away by relying on his own name.

I only heard a knight snort coldly: "Who is the matter, except for Zhao Gong, there is no one left!" ”

At this time, one of Cai Mao's servants had already helped the rescued man into the carriage. Shi Xun turned his head to look, only to see that it was an old man, with old clothes, no crown on his head, and a wooden hairpin inserted in the light, but his demeanor was unusually calm. As soon as the old man got into the car, he sat down steadily, looked Shi Xun up and down a few times, and suddenly stretched out his hand: "Please borrow Your Excellency's sword." ”

This old man's natural arrogance of a superior person erupted - Shi Xun had only felt this kind of momentum on Cao Song before, and even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were far inferior - he stretched out his hand to ask for it, but Shi Xun was uncontrollable, and in confusion, he pulled out his sword and handed it over. The old man took the sword in his hand, suddenly put it across his neck, and shouted: "Stop, otherwise the old man will be killed on the spot!" ”

Cai Mao took the remaining four servants under his command, and at this time he had already fought with the knights who jumped out of the forest, and in just a few blinks of an eye, there was an entourage with an arrow, and an entourage was pierced through the chest with a spear, and even Cai Mao himself was knocked off the head with a scarf, so he had to roll on the spot in a wolf bèi, and finally avoided the disaster of having a split head. However, when they heard the old man's shouting, all the knights stopped. The two uninjured servants hurriedly escorted Cai Mao and retreated to the side of the carriage.

From Cai Mao rushing into the forest, to rescuing the old man, to almost being slaughtered, it is estimated that it will only take more than a minute before and after. Shi Xun's reaction was half a beat slower, and he didn't feel scared until this moment, but he glanced at the old man beside him, and saw that the other party was calm and long, and his long beard fluttered in the wind. Although reason told him that this old man was not a martial arts master, even if he used self-deprecation to blackmail, this matter may not be able to be done well today, and his own life is all in the hands of those thieves; However, feelings seem to be hypnotizing themselves: "Listen to this old man, follow this old man, even if you die, you will have no regrets." ”

Phew, Phew! It was Xun who secretly scolded himself in his stomach: What kind of mess is this? Is it logical? Even if this old man is the third prince of the court or even the emperor, it is not worth dying for him!

I only heard the knight who shouted at the beginning to kill everyone and said in a deep voice: "Why should Zhao Gong be like this, we don't want to harm Zhao Gong's life." Just wait with me to go back......" The old man sneered: "The old man will die if he dies, but he will not go back." Wait for you to stand down quickly, or ......"

Before he could finish speaking, another scream was heard in the forest, and then a huge figure leaped out like a bird flying, kicked down a knight, and stepped onto his mount. Shi Xun looked closely, frightened, a big man, his height must be more than one meter eight, his shoulders are wide and his chest is thick, his tiger back is bear's waist, his huge head is huge, his eyebrows are thick, his lion nose is wide, but his beard is sparse, and he is not much old.

The shouting knight did not look back, but struck away with a spear in his backhand. But I saw that the big man was sitting firmly on the horseback, his arms were raised, and his two hands were opened, and he closed them in front of his chest, as if the so-called "boy worshipping Guanyin" in later generations, and with a "snap", he clamped the spearhead in his palm. Yes Xun was stunned when he saw it, hey, this is empty-handed into the white blade, right?

Since it is said to be "into the white blade", of course, it can't be finished just by clamping the spearhead, only listening to the big man's roar, his palms together and slamming it to the side, and he actually broke the slender spear shaft into two sections, leaving a little bamboo wire intermittently connected. The knight immediately abandoned his spear and drew his sword from his waist, while the other knights also raised their spears and turned their horses' heads against the great man.

A good man, when he saw that his left arm was circled, he actually clamped both spears under his armpits, and at the same time his right fist struck, hitting the wrist of the knight with the sword, breaking tendons and breaking them, and the blade fell to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that he had seen Tai Shi Ci fight six at a time on the coast, he would have been stunned by this scene, but with Tai Shi Zi Yi Zhuyu in front, this big man would not be so good to see - Tai Shi Ci killed one person in one move, and this man lost one person in one move.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the skills of these knights today are much higher than those of the thieves on the beach back then. But after all, Xun has seen a few times of top masters fighting, and he can barely see the difference between 80+ and 90+ force values. The strength and tricks of the big man in front of him seem to be inferior to Taishi Ziyi, but it is not too far behind, and it must be stronger than Cai Mao by more than one grade.

In particular, although this great man is not good at riding - he has always straddled the horse firmly on the horse, and has no intention of driving the horse to kill the enemy- and does not use weapons, but his fist skills are quite extraordinary, and he is especially good at entering the white blade empty-handed. To put it simply, seeing this scene, Cai Mao also hurriedly rushed over with his long sword to help, and in an instant, those knights were knocked off their horses one after anotherβ€”or they were forced to jump off their horses by Cai Deqi. In the end, only the two horses fled into the wilderness, and then the big man lifted the reins, turned the horse's head, and wanted to chase it. I only heard the old man in the car shouting: "Yunan, don't chase it." ”

Shi Xun looked at the posture of the big man driving the horse, and sure enough, the equestrian skills were not good, and it was estimated that even if he chased him, he would not be able to catch up. The old man shouted, and the big man really obeyed his order, immediately jumped off the horse, flew up two feet, kicked the two knights who were still rolling on the ground, and then strode to the front of the car, hugged his fists and said: "The villain is late, Zhao Gong has not been injured, right?" I don't want to just ask for directions, and those dog thieves will chase after them. ”

Cai Mao lifted the long sword upside down, returned to the car, and saluted the old man: "I don't know where these thieves come from, why do you want to hold the elder hostage?" As he spoke, he gritted his teeth hatefully: "I can't imagine that there are such thieves on the edge of Xiangyang City, and the Xiangyang Order and the Deng County Order are derelict in their duties, and they must be severely punished!" ”

"Ah," the big man shouted, "So this is already outside Xiangyang City?" ”

The old man in the car returned the long sword to Shi Xun as a salute, and at the same time looked Cai Mao up and down, and asked in a deep voice: "Listening to Qing's words, could it be that he is an official in Liu Jingsheng's office?" Shi Xun estimated that Cai Mao was also calmed by the noble temperament of this old man, and hurriedly reported his name: "Cai Mao, the Taishou of Nanjun and the general of Zhennan." ”

"It turned out to be Cai Boqi's virtuous man," the old man nodded slightly, "Old man Zhao Qi." (To be continued)
