"Lao Li, what's now?"

Jiu Zhi came out of nowhere, and he also stretched his neck to look around, he was bored to talk to Xiao Xi, it was better to talk to Li Zhen about the sword competition with Suo Wen, he heard that Suo Wen challenged Li Zhen yesterday.

At this time, Da Zhuang finished praying and gathered around Xiao Xi, Li Zhen turned back to them and said, "The caravan will have to walk for several days from Jiuquan, we don't need to hurry, we should take the official road to Yumen." ”

Jiu Zhi suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted: "It's boring to go to Yumen, it's hard to go far away, so just go to Jiuquan! If you can't find a caravan, go to Yumen again, Lao Li, it's decided." ”

Li Zhen glanced at him and said, "Who wanted my horse yesterday?"

One sentence hit Jiuzhi's heart, Jiuzhi has always been red that Li Zhen has a white horse, and he is most eager for himself to get a good horse.

Yesterday Li Zhen won another BMW, and when he saw the opportunity, he desperately pestered Li Zhen, and finally Li Zhen was so annoyed that he was forced to agree to give him the white horse.

Sakushi was threatened and immediately shut up.

"Ah Zhen said to go to Yumen, let's go to Yumen!" Da Zhuang didn't say much, but every sentence was basically to support Li Zhen.

"Fat brother, otherwise let's go to Yumen! It's too far to go to Jiuquan. Xiao Xi also whispered to persuade.

"Anyway, I'm just a military advisor, and it doesn't work to speak, you can listen to whoever you like, it has nothing to do with me!" Jiu Zhi muttered, reluctantly acknowledging Li Zhen's leading position.

Li Zhen saw that the three of them agreed, and he pointed to an abandoned fort in front of him, "I see that fort is not, the map shows that there is an official road over there that can lead directly to the Jade Gate."

The four of them got back on the road, bypassing the abandoned fort, and sure enough, there were traces of a road, and everyone was in high spirits, urging their feet to speed up

It was getting dark, and after a day of running, they didn't know where they were.

There were mountains everywhere, russet and gravel mountains, as if they were all poured out of a mold, so that they could not distinguish between east and west.

Li Zhen is also wrong, it is not the road to Yumen, the business road clearly drawn on the map is actually a small road to Yumen.

The business road is not an official road, and the real official road is still thirty miles in front of the abandoned fort, that is, they took the wrong way, and now they are lost.

"I said Lao Li, I'm also a military advisor, just let me say a few words!"

"You say!" Li Zhen felt a little apologetic in his heart.

"It's getting dark, let's find a place to spend the night, drink water and eat something, I'm really hungry. ”

Li Zhen nodded, he saw that there was a huge conglomerate on the slope in front of him, and there seemed to be a stone nest sunken under the rock, so he said to everyone: "Let's go to that stone nest for the night!"

Jiu Zhi suddenly had the spirit, threw the big green horse to Xiao Xi, and ran towards the stone nest, "I'll grab a good seat first!"

"This guy has to take advantage of all there, a stone nest, what good position does he have?" Da Zhuang pouted disdainfully.

At this moment, there was a scream of Jiuzhi in the distance, everyone was startled, Li Zhen reacted the fastest, pulled out his sword and urged the horse to rush forward.

I saw the fat man stumbling back like a ghost, pointing to the stone nest and shouting, "There are dead people inside!"

Everyone stopped, and looked at each other, and there were dead people, although they were all bold when they were children, and they did not miss the graveyard.

But at this time, the scene was different from when they were children, the twilight was dark, the wasteland was wild, and they actually encountered dead people, which really made them feel nervous.

Li Zhen turned over and dismounted, walked towards the stone nest step by step with his sword, and around a rock, he also saw a gray-robed man lying in the stone nest, with three arrows stuck in his back, and a pool of blood flowed under his body.

Li Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and touched his snort, there was still a trace of breath, his body was warm, this person was not dead.

"Quickly bring my water bottle right away, the person is not dead yet!" Li Zhen hurriedly turned around and shouted.

Kang Dazhuang jumped off the mule, ran up with a water bottle, and slapped Jiuzhi on the back of the head with little hatred, "Dead fatty, where is the dead man, can't you see it clearly and shout again?"

"Of course I know that he is not dead, I am worried about meeting bandits, when have I ever been afraid of the dead, have you forgotten? I used to drill graves, and I was the first to go in!"

Jiuzhi lost face just now, and tried his best to smear his face, but unfortunately Xiaoxiao ignored him and led the thin donkey up the slope.

Li Zhen had already lit a fire fold and handed it to Da Zhuang to hold, he carefully turned the injured man over and poured him a few mouthfuls of water.

The wounded man was holding a leather bag in his arms, which was the kind of horse bag that a long-distance traveler carried around, but this bag was wrapped with gold wire and inlaid with several precious stones, which looked very precious.

But Li Zhen was not interested in this horse bag, he rolled up his sleeves and took the pulse of the injured person, he also learned a little healing technique from the master, he felt that the heart pulse was too weak, and it was difficult for this person to be saved.

"Ah Zhen, how is he?"

The three people behind him all came up, and Xiao Xi also stepped forward to take his pulse, and shook his head gently, his vitality was broken, and he was weak.

From time to time, Sakushi's gaze sneaked a glance at the sack under the wounded,*, which was still inlaid with precious stones, and there must have been something good in it.

At this time, the injured man slowly opened his eyes and saw several teenagers in front of him, a flash of brightness flashed in his eyes, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something

Li Zhen hurriedly put his ears up, "Say it again!"

"Save my master"

Before the rest of the words were finished, the person lost his breath, and Li Zhen slapped his heart hard and gave him artificial respiration, but it still had no effect.

He had to put the person down, sighed, and turned back to the three of them: "Let's be one step late!"

"Lao Li, who did it?"

Jiuzhi asked a little timidly, this person had three arrows stuck in his back, maybe he would be the next to hit the arrow, he peeked back, and felt that there seemed to be a lot of people behind him who were preparing to attack them, he moved slowly under his feet, and actually stood in front of Xiao Xi.

Li Zhen shook his head, "He didn't have time to say." ”

"Could it be horse bandits?" Kang Dazhuang had been out of the house a few times, and he knew that there were many horse bandits in the Hexi Corridor, who specialized in attacking merchants, but there had been a lot fewer in the past two years.

Li Zhen was taken aback, "It's only more than a hundred miles away from Dunhuang here, how can there be horse bandits?"

Sakushi and Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and if it was a horse bandit, it would be terrible.

"I don't know, I hope not!"

Li Zhen's heart was in a mess, he forced himself to calm down, it was likely that Da Zhuang was right, otherwise how could there be three arrows in this person's back, he could only meet a bandit.

He stood up, and there were a lot of stray horseshoe prints on the other side of him, which stretched down the slope.

Li Zhen remembered the first time he saw the wounded just now, the leather bag was pressed under the deceased, although it was tightly held in his arms, but it had been pulled out halfway, the murderer obviously wanted to take the leather bag, but was alarmed by the sound of their horses' hooves, so he hurriedly left.

Li Zhen's heart hung up, and he hurriedly said to the three people: "This person just lost his breath, and the bag has not been snatched away, which means that the bandit has not gone far." ”

The other three were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped beating, they understood what Li Zhen meant, and the horse bandits might be hiding beside them.

At this time, Li Zhen's white dragon horse neighed, its front hooves were raised high, and the big green horse and the mule and donkey also became agitated, and their hooves rattled.

Li Zhen blew out the fire fold, turned to look, his sharp eyes were firmly fixed on the distance, Jiu Zhi realized something, swallowed dryly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Lao Li, is it them?"

Li Zhen nodded slowly, "I saw three people, and there was one person hiding behind the big rock. ”

Li Zhen pointed to a big rock dozens of steps away, and the three of them also saw it, a black shadow appeared behind the big stone, and a pair of gloomy eyes were staring at them.

Xiao Xi shivered, instinctively hiding behind Kang Dazhuang, Li Zhen felt that something was wrong, they had to hide, otherwise they would also be killed by arrows like that person.

He looked around for a place to hide, and now there was a large rock next to him, just enough to stop the four of them.

But at this moment, the bowstring sounded, and three wolf-tooth arrows shot out of the darkness at the same time, with strong power, directly killing several of them.

Li Zhen reacted very quickly, drew his long sword, and slashed two arrows in a row, but it was too late to shoot at Jiuzhi's arrow.

Seeing that Jiuzhi was about to be shot by an arrow, at this moment, the little thin donkey next to him rushed over like crazy, just blocking its owner, and the arrow hit the thin donkey in the head, and the thin donkey fell to the ground, kicked his hooves a few times, and then died.

"My little donkey!"

Jiu Zhi saw that his donkey was shot to death, and shouted in distress, hot blood rushed to the top of his head, clenched his fists and wanted to rush down, but was pulled by Li Zhen, "Are you crazy?"

Jiuzhi came to his senses, he covered his head, squatted down and began to cry, this little donkey had been with him for six years, and he had long regarded it as his brother.

Li Zhen pulled him hard again, pulling him behind the rock, and the four of them hid behind the rock, the arrow just now almost killed Jiuzhi, and their hearts were pounding.

"It's strange, it shouldn't be a horse bandit!"

Li Zhen said to himself, he heard Uncle Kang say that the horse bandits around Dunhuang had long been exterminated by the Doulu army, and they had not appeared for several years.

And he could see clearly just now that although these three people were wearing the robes of the Qiang people, the chain mail was exposed inside the robes, which made him really puzzled.

"Ah Zhen, can you be sure that there are only three of you?" Da Zhuang asked in a low voice.

"I could see wild mice in the grass a hundred paces away, and I should be sure that there were only three of them. ”

"Then kill them!" said Jiuzhi as he stood up and said murderously.

Perhaps it was because they could see that the other party was just a few teenagers, but the three horse bandits all emerged from hiding, they were short and stocky, dark-skinned, and dressed in Qiang robes.

The three men threw away their bows and arrows, and with spears and short swords, they slowly approached the stone nest from three directions, blocking their retreat.

At this time, Da Zhuang lifted the cooked copper stick, Huo Di stood up and said: "The left and right are dead, it is better to fight with them!"

Li Zhen and the others drew out their long swords one after another, they had practiced martial arts for many years, and their martial arts were very good, in the face of death, the initial cowardice had disappeared, and the murderous aura leaked out of their bodies.

"Kill you!"

Kang Dazhuang roared, brandished a forty-pound cooked copper stick and rushed up, Li Zhen also rushed out like an arrow, straight to a horse bandit in the middle, Jiu Zhi took out the flying knife on his waist, said no, and followed behind Li Zhen.

The three horse bandits didn't expect these teenagers to be so brave, they also realized that they had underestimated the enemy, the other party rushed down from a high place, the momentum and degree were not good for them, the middle leader shouted, and the three of them quickly retreated, trying to avoid their impact.

At this moment, Jiuzhi's throwing knife shot out from the ground, and the head was excellent, and it hit the tendon of the left foot of the middle collar, and the sharp flying knife cut off his hamstring, and the horse bandit stumbled under his feet, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.

Li Zhen threw him down with a leap, pressed his knee against his lower back, and was about to stab the hilt of the sword with both hands, but then he hesitated.

The horse bandit pulled out the dagger, his distorted face was as hideous as a beast, Li Zhen no longer hesitated, closed his eyes, and stabbed down violently, the long sword pierced into the back of the horse bandit's heart, only to hear a scream, the injured horse bandit was stabbed to death by Li Zhen's long sword.

The other two bandits fled, jumped on their horses hidden behind the rocks, and galloped their horses, and soon disappeared into the night.

Li Zhen sat down weakly, looking at the corpse pierced by the long sword in front of him, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart, and he felt a sense of joy, but he felt panicked in his heart, this was the first time he had killed someone in his life.

"Lao Li, are you okay?"

Li Zhen gave a thumbs up and smiled reluctantly: "Good knife technique!"

Fat Jiu smiled proudly, "This head work is mine, you are not allowed to snatch it!"

At this time, Li Zhen's face changed, and he stood up and shouted: "Run, Xiaoxi!"

He caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing behind Xiao Xi, and it turned out that there were four horse bandits, and one person had circled behind them.

The black shadow swung his knife and pounced, and the knife slashed directly at Xiao Xiao's neck, Xiao Xiao screamed in fright, but his legs were like lead, and he saw that the tragedy was about to be born.
