Chapter 17: The Grace of Beauty (1)
In the valley, the evening breeze blows the alfalfa grass, causing the horses to wag their tails and come forward, and they can't stop singing. Outside the chaotic stone formation, the twelve bladed silver spears were stained with blood and did not dry. Sun Ce firmly protected Da Qiao behind him, and followed the prestige, only to see more than ten mountain bandits guarding a man riding a tall horse, he was wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, wearing Jinwu armor, and holding a Zhangba red tassel spear, and his spirit was terrifying.
This person can call his own name, is it someone who knows him? Sun Ce looked closely, but he had no impression: "Who are you?" Why do you recognize me? And why ambush us here! ”
The man laughed heartily a few times, and said sarcastically: "Jiangdu Sun Lang is famous, even if I know, it's not unusual?" ”
Seeing that this person actually said in front of Da Qiao, Sun Ce hurriedly denied it: "Don't fart!" I don't have any nicknames! It's all those women who like me and are pestering, and I have nothing to do with them! ”
The man smiled crookedly and said coldly: "Whether it's true or not, you are at the end of your romance today!" If you kill my brother, how can I sit idly by, and I will kill you for revenge, so that I can sacrifice my brother's soul! But now there is a huge disparity in strength between you and me, who wins and who loses is already destined, I respect you as a man, allow you to commit suicide, do it quickly! ”
Feeling that Da Qiao couldn't help trembling behind him, Sun Ce quietly reached over his hand, crossed his fingers with her, and responded without delay, sonorously and powerfully: "Is your clothes stolen or your own?" If it's your own, you're also a soldier, and it's shameful to fall into the company of bandits, and you dare to say these to me! You run away from the army because you are unfaithful; It is unjust to kill innocents indiscriminately! If I were you, I would have died on the boulder a long time ago, where would I be embarrassed to let others kill themselves! ”
This person was born in the army, although he fell into the grass, but never killed innocents indiscriminately, this uniform is also the importance of his life, listening to Sun Ce's words, he immediately raised his whip, word by word and said: "The contemptible Donglai people Tai Shi Ci, because he killed the scum of several official eunuchs in his hometown, he was wanted by the state government, and he was exiled here, fortunately these brothers helped, I did not starve to death on the street!" If you kill them, you will kill my benefactor, and I will not let them go! ”
Sure enough, as Sun Ce expected, this person is not an ordinary grasshopper, Sun Ce frowned, and thought about it: "If you want to be a hero and hero of revenge, you should duel with me, what kind of ability is it to bully others!" ”
A group of mountain bandits were impatient and coaxed: "What a duel! The owner of the village, we poked him to death three or two times, robbed them of their luggage and horses, and then got the next ticket! If this kid cheats and folds all the big guys into it, it won't be worth it! ”
What the thieves said was reasonable, and it was unrighteous to bully more and less, Tai Shici didn't speak for a long time, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Although Da Qiao was blocked by Sun Ce, he kept searching his intestines and stomach, thinking about ways to break the enemy. Now that Sun Ce's excitement is unsuccessful, Da Qiao took a deep breath, eased some of his nervousness, walked out from behind Sun Ce, and said to Tai Shi Ci in a trembling voice: "This hero is thinking, but the duel is not colorful, is it really disappointing?" The little woman is willing to make a bet by her example, I don't know what you think? ”
Unexpectedly, there was a peerless beauty hidden behind Sun Ce, and the noisy thieves saw Da Qiao's complexion, and they were silent for a moment, and they all looked stupid, as if they had forgotten what night it was.
Da Qiao is not powdered, the little face is still pale and proud, a pair of bright eyes are like broken Qiong chaotic jade, crystal clear, a smile can be provocative, she is wearing a smoke-colored skirt, slender figure is hidden in the three-foot cloud brocade, graceful, not related to the fireworks in the world: "The little woman is the daughter of General Qiao under the account of the queen general Yuan, she has always admired heroes, so she is over twenty-eight years old and has not yet married, today I can see your Excellency here, I am very happy, today's duel, if you are better than Sun Bofu, I will marry you as a wife......"
The mountain bandits exclaimed in surprise and excitedly exchanged their heads. Sun Ce was so anxious that he pulled Da Qiao into his arms and said angrily: "Ying'er, don't mess around, do you know this ......"
Da Qiao ignored Sun Ce, lowered his eyes and continued: "If you are better than Sun Bofu, I will marry you, but please be merciful to your subordinates, and don't hurt Sun Bofu's life." If Sun Bofu wins, please let the two of us go, don't be embarrassed, how about it? ”
Obviously trembling with fright, but when he spoke, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and it was clear that Tai Shici looked at Da Qiao with complicated feelings. The mountain bandit standing beside Tai Shici stepped forward and muttered in a low voice: "There are two Qiao in Jiangdong, and Zhen Miqiao in Hebei...... Owner, you've really earned it! Brothers, hurry up and divide five by two to solve that kid who is in the way, snatch the big beauty back, and be the wife of our village master! ”
"Wait!" Tai Shi Ci raised his hand and stopped the thieves from moving. Qiao Rui is the general under Yuan Shu who dominates Huainan, if he can really win this gimmick and marry Da Qiao, he will not only be able to embrace the warm jade and warm fragrance, but also regain the opportunity to fight on the battlefield. Thinking of this, Tai Shi Ci responded loudly: "Okay! As the girl said, I will fight you in a duel! ”
No matter how tricky the situation in front of him was, Sun Ce never thought of taking Da Qiao as a bet to put her in danger, let alone asking for someone to spare his life regardless of his own safety.
Sun Ce hugged Da Qiao tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to dissolve her into his own blood: "Ying'er, don't be afraid, you hide in the car and let me kill these crazy people......"
Da Qiao's eyes were full of tears, pretending to be ashamed, taking advantage of Sun Ce's efforts to gently push away, and whispered: "The enemy is outnumbered, don't suffer this dumb loss, take this opportunity to retreat with your whole body......"
This woman is really not only beautiful in appearance, but also very delicate in her seven tricks, Sun Ce is even more tempted, he looked at Da Qiao obsessively, and there was a light smile on his handsome face: "Don't worry, even if I die, I won't let you marry someone else." ”
After speaking, Sun Ce stepped forward with the twelve-edged silver spear halberd and said to Tai Shici: "The mountain road is narrow, and it is definitely impossible to have fun here. You and I might as well move to the ground and have a hearty fight! ”
At the exit of the valley, among the barren grass, Xiao Qiao ignored the pain all over his body, stepped forward and pulled Zhou Yu's body with difficulty to check his injuries.
Although his martial arts are superb, he is no more than a mortal body, Zhou Yu's shoulders and back are festering in many places, which is shocking, but Xiao Qiao, who he is tightly protecting in his arms, is unscathed. Xiao Qiao couldn't help but break his liver and intestines, and his slender arms hugged Zhou Yu tightly, crying bitterly. The only thing to be thankful for is that the injuries are not fatal, Xiao Qiao trembled and pulled out the short sword that Zhou Yu was carrying, cutting through his robe, removing his blood-stained clothes, revealing the bloody wounds. Fang's held back tears burst out again, Xiao Qiao cut off his skirt, sprinkled it with medicinal powder, and carefully bandaged his wounds.
The bleeding finally stopped, Xiao Qiao saw this, let out a long sigh of relief, closed his shirt for Zhou Yu, and then stepped forward to rub the medicine on the injured sweaty horse.
But Zhou Yu, who had stopped the bleeding, showed no signs of improvement, and his breath became weaker and weaker. Xiao Qiao was at a loss, returned to Zhou Yu's side, and kept calling in his ear: "Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang......"
It must be the poisonous juice on the beak of the strange bird, and Zhou Yu's injury can no longer be delayed. There was a sound of horses' hooves at the end of the road, Xiao Qiao looked up, and saw a carriage hurrying by, she hurriedly put down Zhou Yu and staggered to the car: "Help!" Save ......"
Who knew that as soon as the carriage rode into the dust, it passed by in an instant, Xiao Qiao was already physically exhausted, and fell heavily on the stone road, she tried her best, propped herself up, threw out the short knife that Zhou Yu was carrying, and hit it directly on the back carriage of the carriage.
The carriage still did not stop, and gradually disappeared away from the end of the road. Xiao Qiao couldn't stop crying, tears and blood mixed up on the beautiful little face, who knew that there was no endless road, and finally another carriage came on the road, seeing Xiao Qiao, the driver immediately stopped the horse, and an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with clear eyebrows jumped out of the car and stepped forward: "This girl, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Qiao struggled to stand up and begged, "Help...... Save him ......"
The young man followed Xiao Qiao's gaze, only to see a handsome and extraordinary man lying on his back in the grass, surrounded by extremely bloody gas, he didn't care about the cause and effect, and immediately said to the housekeeper who was driving the car: "Fan Bo, this person is seriously injured, please take him and this girl back to the house quickly, and ask the best doctor in the city to heal." I'll tell my grandfather the rest. ”
After speaking, the young man turned over and got on his horse, raised his whip and drove in the direction of the official road of Dabie Mountain.
