Chapter 10: Feeding the knife and drinking blood

When Qu Gao returned to the courtyard, there were only Zhong Lichi and a teenager in the courtyard, seeing Qu Gao, Zhong Lichi stepped forward and said, "Xiao Gao, this is my son Jun'er, fifteen years old this year." ”

The young man's eyebrows and eyes are delicate, but his body is as straight and straight as a pine and cypress, he should have practiced martial arts since he was a child, followed Zhong Lichi forward, and bowed to Qu Gao: "Zhong Lijun meets Uncle Qu!" Qu Gao subconsciously touched his chin, and muttered with his eyebrows: "Have you not shaved for a few days, and you look so old?" The three looked at each other and smiled.

Two days later, Chang Fuhai came back from Zhu Shi, and excitedly told everyone to set off for Xiangyang again tomorrow, everyone was interested when they heard it, and rested for more than a month.

When the Zhu family's convoy appeared outside the Nanyang City Gate again, a gorgeous carriage was blocked in the middle of the official road, there was no coachman in the carriage, and a woman sitting in the carriage was faintly visible when the breeze blew the curtain. Chang Fuhai rode a horse to the forefront, and when he saw this, he shouted impatiently: "Girl, please let me go." ”

The curtain of the car opened, Zhu Yan poked his head out of the car, and smiled at Chang Fuhai Yingying: "Uncle Chang is so good-tempered, Ah Yan doesn't want to pay attention to you, where is Qu Lang?"

Qu Gao stepped forward, Zhu Yan took out a piece of silk book from his sleeve, handed it out and said, "The concubine promised Qu Lang what she promised, and she has done it." When they saw the deed, their faces were overjoyed. Qu Gao dismounted, walked to Zhu Yan's car, and when he received the silk book, he only heard a voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly, "Qu Lang will not invite a concubine again?"

Qu Gao raised his head suddenly, and saw that Zhu Yan's face was already crimson when he said this, and he was full of joy, took a step back, and raised his voice: "Ah Yan, come with me, in the vast world, I don't seek wealth and prosperity, but my fate must be in my own hands!" Zhu Yan nodded, and when he faced the surprised crowd, he was ashamed again, and as soon as the curtain was released, he hid in the car.

Qu Gao jumped into the carriage and became a coachman. Seeing this, Zhong Lijun shouted, "Uncle Qu, your white horse." Qu Gao smiled: "Let you ride." ”

"You're just leaving, what should the King of Nanyang do? What about the family?" asked the convoy as the convoy moved forward steadily, Qu Gao drove the carriage and asked.

"Qu Lang is worried, in the eyes of the family and the king of Nanyang, the food is stronger. Zhu Yan chuckled and said, "The concubine begged Qu Lang." The concubine acted like this, she must not be able to return to the family, and walked with a group of men, when there was a name, the concubine wanted to marry Qu Lang as a brother and sister with a different surname, and when she arrived in Xiangyang, she asked Qu Lang to take care of it. ”

Qu Gao should go down, suddenly saw the smoke and dust in the distance, the heart was worried, I don't know which way it is, just wondering, a group of more than ten horses galloped from the smoke and dust, when a hundred steps apart, Qu Gao looked at the ding, shouted: "It's not good, it's Hu Qi!"

"Closer the convoy, brother come forward!" Chang Fuhai shouted at the top of his voice. When the coachmen saw Hu Qi, they were already trembling with fright, and put the ten cars close together, Qu Gao ordered Zhong Lijun to protect Zhu Yan, and he also turned over on the white horse, and Chang Fuhai and others lined up with their weapons in front.

Hu rode a few breaths away, saw Chang Fuhai and others waiting in formation, stopped thirty steps away, the leader was a thin and tall man, his eyes were deeply sunken, but his cheekbones were very prominent, he swept over the crowd and the convoy, pinched his slender beard and smiled, and replied in a not very skilled Han voice: "It's another group of fat sheep, and there is meat to eat tonight." As he spoke, he waved the long knife in his hand, and the ten horsemen behind him shouted together to pat their horses to fight.

"Brothers, it's time to feed the knife and drink blood!" Chang Fuhai roared and took the lead in rushing up to meet the enemy, Zhong Lichi and Tian Hong were not to be outdone, covering Chang Fuhai on the left and right. Although Qu Gao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he has been competing with several people for several months, but at this time, he still hesitated in his heart when he wanted to fight with others.

"Kill Hu Nu!" As soon as the battle began, Chang Fuhai used a knife to cut off a Hu people's head, blood splashed, Qu Gao looked at it, and vaguely recalled what Taigong had said in his mind, "The Hu people broke through Luoyang, connived at the looting of their subordinates, and killed more than 60,000 princes, clansmen, officials, and soldiers", "The year before last, General Ran Min was defeated and lost 50,000 women and children, and the Hu people ate them clean in one winter." Thinking of the evil deeds of the Hu people, and then looking at the blood-stained blade, it was so bright red and delicate, full of temptation. With a pale face, he bent his legs and sandwiched the horse, and in an instant, he also joined the battle!

These Hu people are obviously veterans of a hundred battles, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, with nine against four, four people are dazzling, but Chang Fuhai is fast and fast, and his moves are sharp, although there are three people against him, but they are all forced to fight back. Although Tian Hong and Zhong Lichi's martial arts are not weak, they are one against two, and they have each other's colors, and they have not been defeated. Qu Gao's body is light, and the three of them have learned, and the two people who fought against him saw that he was handsome, and they were not willing to give up the killer, one was not careful, one of the arms was cut by Qu Gao with a sword, blood gushed out, Qu Gao saw that the sword was stained with blood, or the blood of the Hu people, and his heart was excited, the biggest regret of Taigong's life was that he could not slash the Hu people, and now he did it! The sword killing moves followed, Qu Gao killed more and more happy, the more he fought, the more brave he became, and the two Hu cavalry were forced to retreat again and again.

The leader of the Hu people frowned and looked at the battle situation, and wondered in his heart, aren't the Jin people all cowardly and timid two-legged sheep? How could there be such a brave warrior, seeing that his side was gradually defeated, he suddenly raised his head and saw a young girl standing on the carriage in the middle of the convoy, looking nervously at the battlefield.

"Drive!" Hu Shou roared angrily, the horse bypassed the battlefield and galloped straight towards the caravan, Qu Gao shouted badly, patted the horse back to rescue, Zhong Lichi also got rid of the two and galloped back to the horse.

Hu Shouma was fast, and in an instant he was close to the front of the car, and when he saw a group of people, he counted this woman in a gorgeous car, and expected that she was noble, and if she was restrained, she would definitely make those warriors obey. As soon as he stretched out his hand, an iron spear stabbed obliquely from the side, and Hu Shou saw that it was a young man, and shouted angrily, "Look for death"! With a wave of the long knife in his hand, he flew the iron spear in the young man's hand, and another knife fell and slashed straight at the top of the young man's head!

Before Qu Gao could get close, a figure suddenly flashed and threw Zhong Lijun to the ground, and the knife was falling on the back of the person who came, but it was Zhong Lichi.

"Brother Zhongli!" Qu Gao roared, flying and stabbing at the beard with all his might. Hu Shou put away the knife and was about to fight against Qu Gao, when suddenly a dark arrow flew in, and he hurriedly drew his knife to block back, only for a moment, Qu Gao's long sword pierced from the top of his head and pierced deep into the end.

"Daddy, daddy......" Zhong Lijun's cry sounded in his ears, Qu Gao got up from the ground, fell to Zhong Lichi's side, saw that the knife had cut off his spine, it couldn't be saved, two lines of tears flowed down involuntarily, and he kept shouting: "Brother Zhongli, hold on, hold on!"

Zhong Lichi turned over on his side with difficulty, spitting blood in his mouth, he stared at Qu Gao deadly, and said word by word: "Xiao Gao, I entrust Jun'er to you, you have to discipline him well and make him a useful person." Qu Gao hurriedly shouted: "I promise you, I will definitely take care of Jun'er." Zhong Lichi turned his head sideways again, looking at Zhong Lijun, his eyes were indescribably gentle, and he was frozen at that moment, Zhong Lichi's body was soft, but he went.

"Now is not the time to be sad!" Zhao Che walked over and shouted loudly to Qu Gao, he put his bow in his hand and pinched the arrow, and another arrow shot out, and a Hu cavalry fell in response. Qu Gao looked back and saw that Tian Hong had been hacked to death by the Hu people, and Chang Fuhai was fighting against six Hu horsemen, and he was also unable to support himself.

"Drive!" Qu Gao turned over and got on his horse, holding a sword in one hand and a head in the other, rushed forward, threw the head in his hand, and the Hu cavalry saw that the leader was dead, and saw Qu Gao come to the rescue, and there was an archer lurking in the convoy, and he took a few steps back in a panic, and then scattered and fled.

Qu Gao looked at the bloody sword in his hand, and then at the corpses of Tian Hong and Zhong Lichi, his nose was sore, he closed his eyes, and blood and tears mixed together and cut down his face.
