Chapter 0014 - Great Grace and No Thanks
"Let's go!" Li Zhen pulled the wine and ran towards the other side of the ridge.
Sure enough, this scream attracted the attention of the centurion of the Tubo army, how could there be movement on the side? He was vigilant in his heart, and immediately sent several of his men to check the situation.
In a moment, the Tibetan soldiers showed three corpses and hurried back to report to the centurion, which surprised the centurion.
The target can't escape in the hole, but there is an ambush next to him is a hidden danger, so he immediately ordered: "Stop going up the mountain and search the ridge on the left!"
The Tibetan soldiers immediately divided into two lines, several soldiers continued to stare at the cave, and the remaining eighteen fanned out towards the ridge on the left.
The shape of the messenger Gao Yanfu in the cave was very critical, and their bows and arrows were gone, only Gao Yanfu's sword and the horizontal knives of the two attendants.
The two entourages are palace guards, and they are strong in martial arts, but they lack actual combat experience, and they have been injured in the vicious fight with the Tubo soldiers, and one of them is seriously injured, and he is about to die.
If the Tibetan centurion had ordered another assault, he would have achieved his goal, but now that he had surrounded and assaulted from all sides, the result would be the same.
Just when Gao Yanfu was about to despair, he heard a scream outside, which made him feel as if he had grabbed a plank in a drowning that was about to go to the top, and someone must have come to save him.
He was holding a piece of fire in his hand, which he had been lighting and extinguishing just now, hoping that someone would see his distress signal.
But he himself didn't have much hope, in the barren mountains and mountains, someone came to save them, it was too slim, and even if someone saw it, it might not be able to defeat the Tibetan soldiers, but now, hope came.
"Zhang Xi, cheer up, someone has come to save us!"
Two attendants, one named Sun Li, was injured and lay on the ground dying, and the other was named Zhang Xi, who was stabbed in the left shoulder, lost a little more blood, and looked a little groggy.
Their luggage and medicine were discarded during the escape, and if they were not treated in time, the guard Sun Li would probably not survive until dawn.
Zhang Xi stood up and stared outside the cave for a moment and said, "Mansion Jun, it is very likely that Wang Xiaojie's army has come to save us." ”
Gao Yanfu tore off a piece of his shirt and bandaged Zhang Xi's bleeding wound, and said with a wry smile: "No matter who it is, just kill the Tubo people." ”
At this moment, there was another scream outside, which lifted their spirits again, and they seemed to see the hope of survival
Li Zhen no longer had the heart blockage of the first killing, his ruthless side gradually came out, he knocked down a Tubo soldier, the sharp dagger in his hand instantly cut the soldier's throat, and then drew his sword and rushed towards Jiuzhi in the fierce battle.
They were surrounded by three Tibetan soldiers, Li Zhen killed two of them, and Jiu Zhizheng fought with the other man in close quarters, his throwing knife did not work, and he was pressed to the ground by a burly Tubo ten-captain.
The Commander of the Ten Masters of Tubo strangled his neck with one hand, Xueliang Dagger was already raised high, Jiuzhi desperately held the other party's arm, and shouted like a pig: "I'm going to die, Lao Li save me!"
At the moment when the dagger was about to stab, a sword light flashed, and the head of the Tenth Master of Tubo flew up, the blood in the neck cavity spurted out, and the corpse fell on Jiuzhi's body, and Jiuzhi screamed in fright.
Li Zhen kicked the corpse away, and when he saw that his companion was fine, he was also relieved, Jiuzhi's head and face were covered with blood, he got up and choked his throat, retching desperately, he was already so frightened that he couldn't say a word.
"Come with me!"
Li Zhen pulled up Jiuzhi, there were already more than a dozen Tibetan reinforcements in the distance, they had to leave, just ran two steps, Jiuzhi appeared that the skin on his body was gone, and when he turned around, he saw that the skin was next to the corpse.
Jiuzhi was about to pick it up, but a thought flashed through Li Zhen's mind, and he grabbed Jiuzhi, "Don't pick it up, just throw it there!"
He ran to the top of the mountain with a confused wine will, and in a moment, more than a dozen Tibetan soldiers rushed to the place where they had just fought, two enemies had fled, and there were only three corpses on the ground, including a ten-captain.
One of the soldiers picked up the sack that Jiuzhi had left behind, muttered a few words to his companions, and turned to run down the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, Li Zhen and Jiuzhi hid behind a rock, and Jiuzhi sat on the ground with his back against the boulder, and his heart was terrified.
Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, he was so frightened that he trembled and trembled, but Lao Li saved his life at a critical time, and his heart was also full of gratitude.
"Lao Li, why do you say that our luck is like this, it is difficult to go far away, and we actually met the Tubo soldiers. ”
"Lao Li?"
Jiu Zhi didn't respond to Li Zhen now, looking back, only to see Li Zhen holding a bow and arrow, staring down intently, not listening to himself at all, Jiu Zhi turned over and stretched his neck to look, "What's wrong?"
"Shh
Li Zhen gently pushed him away, knelt on one knee, straightened his body, held the bow in his left hand, and pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back with his right hand, and slowly put it on the bowstring.
Jiuzhi peeked from the other side of the rock, only to see a torch lit at the foot of the mountain, and in the firelight, a general-like Tubo soldier was holding something and carefully examining it, vaguely his own skin.
At this moment, Li Zhen suddenly pulled out his bow, and the long arrow came out of the string, shooting like lightning towards the Tubo officer in the firelight, this arrow was extremely fast, hitting the forehead of the Tubo officer, and the tip of the arrow shot through the skull.
The Tubo centurion screamed miserably, fell on his back, and several Tubo soldiers around him suddenly became chaotic, and they helped the centurion to shout together, and the other Tubo soldiers who were searching on the ridge also felt bad and ran down the mountain one after another.
Jiu Zhi covered his mouth violently, his eyes widened, and he suddenly realized that his skin had become a bait, and the Tubo soldiers would inevitably go back to report after picking it up, so they would give Li Zhen the opportunity to shoot the Tubo leader, which was simply too clever.
Shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, the Tubo centurion was shot, so that the Tubo soldiers lost their collar, plus they suffered heavy casualties, there were more than 30 people at first, but now there are only 15 people left, which makes the Tubo soldiers panic in their hearts, and they may be the next to be shot.
The last fifteen Tibetan soldiers mounted their horses, left the conglomerate mountain, and galloped south.
When Li Zhen and Jiu Zhi saw the Tibetan soldiers riding away, they were overjoyed and clapped their high-fives to celebrate their victory.
Jiu Zhi said with a smile: "Go and see, if you save a Sogdian giant merchant this time, he will have to reward us with tens of thousands of dollars!"
The two of them slowly slid down from the rocks and approached the entrance of the cave, where a dark shadow rushed out from behind the rock next to the cave and slashed at them with a knife.
Li Zhen was startled, dodged the knife, and shouted: "We are not Tubo, come to save you!"
The black shadow was the guard Zhang Xi, he didn't know that the Tubo soldiers had retreated, and now someone on it was slowly approaching the entrance of the cave, so he took a knife and hid behind the rock, but the other party was actually the benefactor who saved them.
Zhang Xi was so frightened that he hurriedly put away the knife, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't know it was a benefactor." ”
Li Zhen waved his hand, "It's okay, don't blame those who don't know, the Tubo soldiers have withdrawn, don't you know?"
Zhang Xi was stunned, then in ecstasy, turned around and ran into the cave, "Fujun, the Tubo people have withdrawn!"
Gao Yanfu was also overjoyed, and slapped his forehead again and again, "God has eyes, my Gao Yanfu will not die!"
At this time, Jiu Zhi pouted at the entrance of the cave and said, "If we hadn't shot the Tubo people, would they have retreated?"
Gao Yanfu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly greeted him, "Two benefactors, it's me who is rude!"
Li Zhen glared at Jiuzhi, this dead fat man can't speak, how can he take the initiative to show his merits, at least he doesn't understand the world, he bowed and saluted: "Sir, you don't have to be polite, the road is in danger, we should draw our swords to help!"
Gao Yanfu knew in his heart that the other party just didn't want to embarrass himself, this life-saving grace, where could he say 'thanks' lightly.
He suddenly had a good impression of Li Zhen in his heart, this young man was not very old, but he was very sensible, he hurriedly said: "The two life-saving graces, Gao remembered them in his heart, and if he didn't thank him, I wouldn't be polite." ”
Li Zhen smiled, his eyes fell on the guard Sun Li on the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward and touched his forehead, only to feel that he was hot, and a long knife wound under his left rib was shocking, it had been blackened and suppurated, and if he was not treated, this person would die.
He hurriedly took out the wound medicine from his arms, each of them carried the wound medicine with him, it was prepared for them by the master Master Forget Chen, and the treatment of injuries was miraculous, but unfortunately Xiao Xi was not there, his medical skills were the best, and he was about to catch up with Master Forget Chen.
The first problem in front of him is how to disinfect it? Li Zhen thought about it, and asked Jiu Zhi to light the fire, and he took out the dagger and burned it on the fire for a while.
Then he carefully cut off the black flesh on both sides of the wound, but the pus could not be washed, and when he was in distress, the little eunuch next to him said: "I have wine here!"
He handed over a small wine gourd, Li Zhen was overjoyed, this little eunuch was very clever, and hurriedly took the wine gourd, carefully washed Sun Li's wound with wine, and then sprinkled the white wound medicine evenly on his wound, and tore off a placket to bandage him, Sun Li groaned in pain.
From beginning to end, Gao Yanfu and Zhang Xi didn't dare to take a breath, and it wasn't until the wound was bandaged finally that Gao Yanfu asked nervously, "Can his life be saved?"
"His injuries are too serious, if it were an ordinary person, he would have died a long time ago, but fortunately, he is strong, if he can survive until dawn, he may be able to save his life. ”
Gao Yanfu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "I don't know if the two young men have the same name, can they sue Gao?"
Without waiting for Li Zhen to be polite, Jiu Zhi said proudly: "We are all from Dunhuang County, my name is Jiuzhi, the wine that drinks, the ambition Zhi, his name is Li Zhen, the Zhen who is gradually getting better, we are a group of four, and the other two went to ask for help." ”
"Oh! It turned out to be Li Shaolang and Jiu Shaolang, I remembered, the two young Lang, please sit down and rest for a while. ”
After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, Li Zhen was really a little tired, so he was a little polite and sat down.
Jiuzhi also sat down next to him, unceremoniously took the water handed by the little eunuch, and took two sips, "Hey! It's like a dream, fat man, I actually killed someone." ”
Gao Yanfu smiled slightly, "Can Jiu Shaolang sue me, how did you show us and kill a few Tibetan soldiers?"
Li Zhen's heart moved, this person is very shrewd! he didn't tell himself who they were, and at the same time, he took away all his news.
And these people don't look like foot merchants, listening to the accent, they look like people from the capital.
Li Zhen has a talent higher than ordinary people since he was a child, his scheming city is far better than his peers, Li Zhen does not stop Jiuzhi, sits on the side and laughs without saying a word.
Jiu Zhi didn't have Li Zhen's scheming, he was extremely proud, so he told the original how they wanted to go to Yumen, how they took the wrong road, how they showed their seriously injured entourage, and how they fought fiercely with the Tubo army, of course, he exaggerated his own merits.
"We killed a total of nine Tubo people, I killed three, Da Zhuang killed one, Lao Li killed five, including their leaders. ”
Gao Yanfu nodded, it seemed that the Tubo soldiers had really retreated, and he gave Li Zhen a thumbs up and praised: "Li Shaolang is both wise and brave, Gao Mou has seen it in his life, I don't know who Shaolang studied from?"
Li Zhen smiled slightly, "Mr. Gao is from the capital!"
Gao Yanfu laughed, "It's me who was confused, I asked for a long time but forgot to introduce myself, we did come from Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and came to Dunhuang on business by order, under Gao Yanfu, these two people are palace guards, one is called Zhang Xi, and the other is called Sun Li." ”
Gao Yanfu pointed to the little eunuch beside him and said with a smile: "This is my adopted son, named Gao Lishi." ”
