Chapter 15: The Bandits of the Narrow Valley

Li Xianzhong laughed. "Li Qi, I think you've been with the old lady for too long. The old lady was cautious in his later years, and he was even cautious in dealing with a slave of our family, Nurhachi. But the grandfather was generous and proud in his early years, why didn't you learn the good, but you learned the bad. I know what you're talking about.

To put it bluntly, isn't it dust! Why are you so mysterious? If there is dust, there must be soldiers and horses? Aren't it allowed mountain people to haul firewood? This kind of place is not Liaodong, can there still be Jurchens? As long as it's not a Jurchen, who has our Li family been afraid of! ”

After speaking, Li Xianzhong slapped his horse and rushed into the canyon. Seeing that the young master was in the lead, these family members under his command naturally urged their horses and rushed into the canyon with him. Seeing this, Li Qi had no choice but to follow behind everyone and enter the canyon together.

Not long after Li Xianzhong and his nine horsemen entered the canyon, they heard a loud noise behind them. When everyone looked back, they saw a huge boulder rolling down from the top of the mountain, blocking everyone's retreat. Only then did Li Xianzhong realize the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly shouted "not good", desperately urging the horse to rush forward, trying to rush out before the enemy blocked the exit. The other family members who came with him were also veterans of the battlefield, and when they saw this scene, they knew that there was indeed an ambush, so they all rushed forward desperately.

In their expectation, since the enemy had blocked the way of retreat, they were afraid that before they could rush out of the canyon, another boulder would fall and block their way. Despite this, the crowd rode their horses forward desperately, hoping to rush out before the boulder fell.

The strange thing is that until the team of men and horses led by Li Xianzhong rushed out of the canyon for more than ten feet, they still did not see any movement in the valley behind them. Li Xianzhong couldn't help but wonder secretly, could it be that the falling stone was really just accidental, not man-made? Li Xianzhong reined in his horse and turned around to look. At the entrance of the canyon, there are still small rocks falling down, but there is no figure in sight.

"Is it really just an accident?" Li Xianzhong muttered.

At this moment, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the woods on the side of the road ahead. Then, I saw a group of more than 20 horsemen rushing out of a path in the forest, blocking Li Xianzhong's way.

"Listen to the people in front, I opened this and this mountain, and I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, stay and buy firewood." The voice of the person who spoke was loud, and Yu Ren was originally in a hurry for a while, but when he suddenly heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little more energetic. Hurriedly twisting his neck and looking forward.

I saw a burly man with a beard on his face, standing on a horse with two giant axes in his hands, standing in front of the team, and his appearance really had the taste of seven or eight points black whirlwind Li Kui. Behind him, there were two people riding side by side on horses, but Yu Ren had seen them. It was the father and son of the seller that Fang had just met in the tea shed. There were more than twenty of them, and all of them were on horseback. Moreover, they all have guys in their hands, and it seems that they should be robbers.

Li Xianzhong suddenly saw that this group of people blocked the way, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed. He said to Li Liudao beside him: "Liu'er, I didn't expect that in Lingnan, there are really such blind bandits who dare to fight our Li family." It's a good thing that I haven't actually fought in a long time. You can use them to practice your hands. You also practice your hands by the way, lest after a long time, you don't know what killing is all about! ”

After speaking, Li Xianzhong took off the bow and arrow on the horseback with his hand, and said to the bearded leader who spoke: "Boy, if you want your grandfather's road money, it's not so easy, eat my three arrows first." As he spoke, Li Xianzhong aimed an arrow at the bearded man with a double axe and shot it.

Because the bearded man was too close to Li Xianzhong, although he had been prepared for this arrow, Li Xianzhong must be a famous general, and his attainments in archery were not bad. The bearded man, despite his efforts to turn sideways, could not dodge the arrow. And you saw that the arrow was in the left breast of the bearded man.

Yu Ren secretly screamed pity. He saw that this bearded man had a bit of Li Kui's momentum, and hoped that he could defeat Li Xianzhong. In this way, maybe he and Cao Wenzhao can take the opportunity to get out. I didn't expect it to be settled by Li Xianzhong so easily.

But then another incredible thing happened. I saw that the bearded man was hit by this arrow, and not only was he fine, but he didn't even shed a drop of blood. When he saw the arrow coming, he panicked, and then he laughed with two great axes.

Li Xianzhong had never encountered such a thing, so he hurriedly took another arrow to the big beard**. But the result is still the same. The big man didn't even move. Li Xianzhong did not give up, and shot another arrow at the bearded man's left chest. This time, the bearded man was still fine, but Li Xianzhong was in trouble.

I saw that the big man had received three arrows, and rushed towards Li Xianzhong with a double axe. Li Xianzhong was taken by the momentum of the other party, and he didn't dare to engage in the battle, so he pulled out his horse and ran back. But before he ran into the canyon, he realized that the mountain path ahead of him had been stopped by a boulder, but it was too late. As soon as Li Liu and the others saw the young master running into the canyon, they all ran into it together.

Li Qi was the last person to enter the canyon, and he immediately stopped at the mouth of the valley, but did not enter. The bearded man caught up with a double axe and pointed an axe at Li Qi. But it was dissolved by the long sword in Li Qi's hand with a slight pick.

"Yikes! I didn't expect it! It's really two hits, which is great. Uncle, I haven't met a master for a long time. Be sure to have fun with you today! So saying, the bearded man pulled open the placket of his clothes, took out a wooden plank from it, and threw it on the ground, and three arrows were stuck in the board.

Everyone suddenly realized, and then they knew why he was unharmed by Li Xianzhong's three arrows.

The bearded man threw away the plank, picked up the double axe again and said to Li Qi: "Okay, this time it's much more comfortable." The two of us have to say that we are not allowed to leave until we reach 500 times. Whoever goes first is the turtle bastard. ”

Li Qiyi crossed his sword and said, "Whatever you want." ”

The bearded man didn't say much, raised his axe and slashed at Li Qi again.

At this time, Yu Ren was taken by Li Liu and fled into the canyon again, but they immediately realized that there was no way ahead, and they couldn't help but panic even more. Fortunately, Li Qi stopped the beard, but none of the thieves behind him rushed up. They all stopped there to watch the bearded man fight with Li Qi. Li Xianzhong then reined in the horse's head, and quietly rushed to the valley mouth with his family.

The bearded man was originally fighting with Li Qidou, but suddenly saw Li Xianzhong and the others coming back again. So he shouted behind him. "Brothers, if the fat sheep wants to run, give me more care, don't let the main owner run away, otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the eldest lady for a while."

When the bandits heard this, they rushed up together. Seeing this, Li Qi knew that if these people blocked the valley mouth, it would be difficult for him to have another chance to rush out. So he swung his sword desperately and forced the bearded man back a few steps. finally let Li Xianzhong and the others rush out of the canyon.

However, Li Xianzhong and the others rushed out of the canyon, and before they had a chance to form a formation, they were surrounded by the bandits who had rushed up. Seeing that he had rushed out of the canyon, Li Xianzhong was relieved. That's why he wanted to run away, because he thought that this bearded man couldn't be killed. There has always been a folk legend that there is such a kind of witchcraft that can be invulnerable when applied to people. Li Xianzhong has never believed this statement, but he saw it with his own eyes, but he couldn't help but believe it. This time, knowing that it was the ghost who made the plank, Li Xianzhong relieved himself.

Li Xianzhong saw that the bandits were surrounding, so he put down the bow and arrow in his hand, drew his sword, and waved it behind him. "Boys, kill all these guys for me. Let them see the methods of our Li Jiajun. Although the horse team behind him did not spread, in Li Xianzhong's mind, to deal with these rabble bandits, there was no need to spread the formation at all.

But this time, Li Xianzhong knew that he was wrong. Because none of these bandits are weak. Although it is not as good as the beard, it is not weak. He himself faced a bandit who didn't look very tall. After less than ten moves, the long sword in Li Xianzhong's hand was knocked away by the opponent's iron rod. If Li Liuji hadn't given him an iron rod, I'm afraid he would have been knocked off his horse by the iron rod.
