Chapter 168: The Long Street
The fast horse galloped to the entrance of the alley where Lin Qiao stayed, and was relieved to see that people and horses were there. Lin Qiao was still wearing the thin clothes in the embroidery room, shivering with cold, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Brother Li, I counted to forty-nine." ”
Li Bochen was stunned, knowing that she had stayed at the street for a while, she really had to count slowly, and she should count to two or three hundred. originally thought that although she was in a happy scene, she could be regarded as a fine food on weekdays, so she should be a little squeamish. Unexpectedly, now it is not only empathetic, but also very strong.
He smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Lin, you follow me and ride out of the city, and I'll try to get you some clothes - can you ride a fast horse?"
Lin Qiao let out a cold breath: "Yes." I've even learned how to use swords!"
"Then you follow me, don't stop no matter what. ”
With that, he pulled the reins and galloped north down the street. At first, he was afraid that Lin Qiao would not be able to keep up and run slowly. But after walking for a while, he found that Lin Qiao had never lagged behind, and when he looked sideways slightly, he didn't see too much panic and fear on her face, so he was faster again.
Both horses were good horses, and the residents along the road should have known that there were bandits entering the city, so they closed the doors and windows and did not go out, but the road was unimpeded. During this time, they met two groups of soldiers at the corner of the street, but they only heard them shouting a few words, and the two galloped past. Maybe seeing Li Bochen wearing armor and being a general, those soldiers didn't catch up.
In fact, he should have gotten Lin Qiao a thick coat first, but the more Li Bochen thought about it now, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't want to stay in this city anymore. Ye Lu originally planned to lobby himself, but since he didn't succeed, he should wait for another person to catch the Chang family, and then coerce and lure him.
But then he turned out to be demonic and wanted to fight to the death with himself - it can be explained that the Sumeru people were already uncertain and were aroused by their own real fire. However, when they were in the Sui Realm before, they tried to canonize the spirit god with a talisman treasure, and they waited for themselves here, after spending so much thought, would Ye Lu really mess up the situation because of a momentary mood?
If he is such a person, that one will not feel comfortable handing over this place to him.
And now that these bandits have entered the city, it should also be part of Ye Lu's original plan, and now he doesn't know what medicine is sold in the other party's gourd, so he can only stay away from this place first, and then make plans.
The two turned onto the avenue leading to the north gate, and could see a corner of the city tower in the fog from a distance. After running for a while, he finally saw the bandits—a storehouse hundreds of paces ahead was set on fire, and a dozen bandits armed with knives were dragging people out of the burning house.
One of them struggled so hard that one of the bandits stabbed him in the back of the heart, and the man fell to the ground and died. The rest of the men cried and cried, and some of the bandits laughed, and several of their faces were reflected like ghosts by the firelight. Then he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and turned his face to see two men rushing into the street with wooden guns, and shouting, "What man, get off your horse!"
Li Bochen whispered in the whistling wind in his ears: "Miss Lin, don't stop!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pulled out the magic knife from behind his back, and rushed over. When they were more than a dozen steps away from those bandits, they saw the armor on Li Bochen's body, and their faces changed, and a few more people with knives wanted to rush over.
Li Bochen lowered his body on the horse and swung his knife violently, and the knife flashed, and with a whin, the two spear-wielding soldiers in front of him were cut into two pieces with the long soldiers in their hands. The rest of the people were horrified and wanted to dodge, but the white horse had already roared past, knocking one person away with a thud, spurting blood in midair.
At the moment of staggering, another knife was struck, and the heads of the other three bandits rose into the sky, and fell into the burning warehouse. Only then did he shout: "Get out!"
The five bandits who still had their lives were so frightened that they cried for their father and mother, and hurriedly threw away their knives and guns, and crawled away.
He turned his face to look at Lin Qiao, and saw that her face was pale and she was biting her lip, but she seemed to be able to hold on.
After running a little further, there were even more bandits, and there were even corpses of soldiers in armor in the streets, who seemed to have fought fiercely here before. There were no less than 100 bandits on this long street leading to the north gate, and some of them sat next to the burning houses eating, drinking, laughing, and looking like they were encamped.
Farther away, some vehicles were moved to block the street as a refusal, and then some bandits stood and talked with long and short weapons, and a lot of belongings piled up on the side of the road behind them. They looked like a rabble, but Li Bochen could see that the layout on this street was actually quite orderly. Aside from the fact that the bandits were too scattered, the rest of the place was very much like a small army.
It seems that if you want to break out of the city gate, you will have to kill a few people.
This thought came to him in his heart, and he realized that he couldn't let Lin Qiao follow him anymore. He is naturally not afraid of these people, but he has no eyes for knives and guns, and it is inevitable that Lin Qiao will not be dismissed.
Seeing that those bandits were listening to the sound of horses' hooves from a distance and standing up, Li Bochen slowly let the horse to Lin Qiao's side and said, "Miss Lin, offended, come to me!"
Then he stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Lin Qiao's slender waist, and suddenly took her in front of him and sat on the saddle. Lin Qiao seemed to be frightened by him, he didn't even scream, his body was as light as paper, and after two breaths, he "ahh
Li Bochen thought that he was a rough man who was killed in a sea of corpses and blood, but no matter how strong Lin Qiao's temperament was, he was always a woman - galloping in the cold wind, killing people, and grabbing her violently...... This thing seems to her to be very common, but she may not be able to withstand such a toss.
Then he said in a low voice: "Miss Lin, I'm sorry, it's good to go out of the city - you hold the horse's neck, don't look up!"
As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly heard a sound in his ears, and an arrow flew over.
- The bandits actually arranged crossbowmen on the side of the street!?
He looked to the left and right in shock, and saw some people standing faintly on the walls and roofs on both sides, and then there was a whizzing burst of arrows, and more than a dozen of them were shot at each other. He was glad that he had captured Lin Qiao just now, otherwise he would have to be shot off the horse.
But he was not afraid of these things. Seeing how fast the arrows were flying faster than flies, he raised his knife and grabbed one with his left hand, and threw it back violently, when he heard a pop on the roof, and an archer was pierced through his head and rolled down.
When the bandits in front saw his momentum and skill, they all stood up and hurriedly went to get knives and guns, and after the rejection of the horse, a man wrapped in a red turban shouted: "Where are the friends!? If it weren't for the officers and soldiers, get off the horse and talk!"
Li Bochen sneered and shouted, "I am Li Bochen!"
When he said this, he saw that the little leader was stunned, and he didn't seem to remember who he was, so he had to drink again: "Death to those who stand in my way!"
