The moment the carriage broke through the woods, the shafts hit rocks and potholes, the carriage heaved violently, the taut ropes pulled the horses tight, and their hooves rose up.
Xilulu-
The horse was frightened and out of control. The driver suddenly saw a young man in front of him and shouted anxiously: "Get out of the way!!"
The warhorse charged forward, and the next moment, the carriage that was madly rolling over the road suddenly seemed to stop and hover in mid-air. The driver who was pulling the reins opened his mouth slightly, and the words that came out of his mouth were stuck in his throat.
"Well… "
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a woman leaned forward slightly and climbed out, "Brother, is it the slope..."
The driver, a sturdy man with a full beard, hesitated for a moment, shook his head at the woman, and instinctively pointed downwards with his hand holding the reins.
The carriage frame and the horse tilted upwards. Under the gap between the horse and the axle, two slender arms, one hand holding the two horse's hind legs, and the other hand lifted up the entire carriage, just holding it in the air.
The woman looked at the hairy head under the gap between the cars and came back to her senses from the shock, "This boy is so strong!" As she spoke, she noticed a tuft of yellow hair on the hairy head. Delight filled her pretty face and she slapped the burly man's arm with her hand.
"It's him...it's him..."
"Who?" The man turned around in confusion. The woman behind him had already jumped off the carriage. Li Yuanba, who was holding the horse and carriage, heard the noise and turned around, frowning. "Is this carriage yours? Hmm... You look familiar."
As he spoke, he moved his arms to the side, steadily lowered the horse's legs and the bottom of the cart that he was holding up, raised his chin, remembered his master's teachings, and slowed down his tone.
"You may look familiar, but you still have to apologize for bumping into me on your horse!"
However, the woman didn't care about that. She pointed at herself and then at the big man in the carriage: "Young Master Li, have you forgotten us?"
Seeing Li Yuanba shaking his head, he simply went back to the car, half of his body leaned into the curtain, and pulled out a sleeping body. The moment the face was revealed, the young man outside finally remembered.
"Isn't he the one I knocked out in Taiyuan that day? His name is... I remember now, his name is Li Jing!"
Seeing that they were acquaintances, Li Yuanba gave up the idea of pursuing the matter, but was a little curious about how they came here.
"How did you get here?"
The woman was also anxious. Her husband had been in a coma for more than a month since he was hit, so she decided to go to Chang'an to seek medical treatment from the national doctor. Then they left the city together. After finally leaving Taihang Mountain, they encountered pursuers and were separated. They didn't know what to do. Now that she met this strange young master of the Li family, it was like she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and she told him everything that had happened in one breath.
"We fled Taiyuan with your parents and Mr. Li Er and came to Jin, but we ran into Liang Shidu's army and were chased away... Hey, little master, where are you going..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Yuanba stepped on the ground and the huge hammer that was stuck in the mud fell into his hand with a bang. He raised it on his shoulder and ran forward without looking back, roaring.
"Save my second brother and mother!!"
Hong Fu, who was standing on the carriage, watched the young man run away, and finally felt a little relieved. "I can't believe that this young master of the Li family is so filial."
Tap tap… tap tap tap…
The figure rushed through the woods, and his steps raised up fallen leaves and mud. The hammer hanging behind him swayed and hit the trees on both sides with a loud bang.
"Damn it... I finally got a chance to fight."
In front of the shade of trees, the sky was bright. The moment he rushed out, he could hear the sound of horse hooves and human voices. The scene in the distance unfolded before Li Yuanba's eyes. Four horse-drawn carriages were galloping across the plain, trailing a cloud of dust. Behind them, more than a dozen people and horses were guarding on both sides, and they kept shouting anxiously.
Behind him, the sound of thunder shook the earth. Dozens of war horses dragged the figures on their backs, holding spears in silent pursuit. Some drew their bows and arrows. The moment the strings vibrated, arrows drew trajectories in the sky and fell into the fleeing convoy. Some of the running people let out wails and fell to the ground after being shot by arrows.
"Don't worry about the wounded, go into the woods over there."
Qu Yuanfeng had a circle of black beard on his lips and his face looked haggard. He glanced at a soldier who was shot in the back, grabbed the quiver on the horse's buttocks, pulled out an arrow and hung it on the bowstring. While the horse was galloping, he turned sideways, pulled the bowstring to its full extent and shot an arrow.
Whoosh~~
The arrow pierced through the breastplate of a cavalryman who was chasing from behind. The latter seemed to be fine. He broke the arrow shaft and raised his hand to draw the bow to fight back. At the moment when Qu Yuanfeng dodged the arrow by leaning sideways, he heard Li Shimin's voice from the front.
"Yuan Ba!!!"
The sound made him look at the same time. In the carriage in front, Li Yuan pulled open the curtain with a "whoosh" and looked out. A thin figure dragging a huge object flashed past his eyes. He immediately sat back in the carriage and said to his nervous wife, "It's Yuanba." He stretched out his hand and pulled the curtain of the small window on the right, looked back, and his eyelids twitched.
The figure of his son came into view. He faced a cavalryman who was chasing him, raised the sledgehammer on his shoulder, and the huge hammer drew a trajectory, smashing hard on the horse's head and the man. Blood spurted into the sky in an instant, and the sound of galloping hooves stopped abruptly. Both the man and the horse fell to the ground without a sound, and were smashed into a pool of rotten meat.
"How dare you chase after my parents!!"
Li Yuanba sank his feet, grabbed the handle of the hammer and swung it on the spot. With a roar, there was a whistling sound like wind and thunder, and it swept away angrily. A cavalryman who passed by had his flesh and bones burst, and flew sideways, hitting his companion with a bang. There was a dull sound of flesh colliding, and he rolled into a ball, with sticky blood and flesh stuck together. It was impossible to tell which was human and which was horse. Armor and weapons were scattered all over the ground.
"How dare you chase my second brother!"
With another furious roar, he stretched out his free left hand to the side and grasped the thrusting spear in his palm. He pulled it downward, dragging the knight off the horse's back. He stomped on it hard, and the iron helmet and the head inside it flattened with a snap.
“Hahahaha!!! So cool!”
Li Yuanba retracted his foot, his face covered in blood, and with wild laughter, he stood in the blood-stained area with a spear and a huge hammer in his hands like a devil, fighting madly with dozens of people rushing towards him.
In the summer light, the convoy was still going away. The two horsemen stopped in amazement, looking at the young man who was fighting with dozens of riders over there. The cavalrymen and their horses were separated and flew high into the sky. The ones at the back rushed forward again, and then there was the sound of metal clashing. The figures flew out like a cannonball, piercing through several riders and knocking them down one by one.
In less than a moment, only a thin figure with a spear in one hand and a hammer in the other was left standing there alone in the sun.
Although Qu Yuanfeng was used to seeing the magic of Taoism, this was the first time he had seen such a bloody and brutal killing. He turned his head in a daze and looked at Li Shimin beside him.
"Are you really brothers? I don't quite believe it."
At this time, at the end of their vision, past the figure of Li Yuanba opposite them, and further ahead, the rumbling sounds of footsteps and horse hooves rang out, sweeping across the sky and the earth like a wave line.
"Yuanba, go!"
Li Shimin was worried about his brothers, so he whipped his horse whip and rushed over. When his words reached that place, Li Yuanba became ferocious and didn't listen to his second brother's shouting. He stuck his spear into the ground and his hammer into the ground. He pulled an ownerless warhorse and rode on it. Just as he picked up the hammer, the horse under him let out a sharp neigh, spread its limbs outward, and fell to the ground.
There was also a pool of urine spreading along the ground, which meant he had diuresis due to riding.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves approaching from behind, Li Shimin leaned sideways and crouched, reached out and grabbed the young man who was still standing next to the warhorse suffering from diabetes, and lifted him onto the horse's back.
"Come back with me!"
The horse turned and galloped backwards madly. The young man lying in front of the second brother looked at the weapon that had fallen on the ground, stretched out his hand to grab it and shouted: "My hammer! My hammer!"
In the distant field of vision, the huge hammer standing on the ground moved, and in the direction of Li Yuanba's outstretched hand, it slid quickly along the ground.
Follow us and go into the woods ahead.
Soon after, a brilliant glow appeared in the western sky.
In the distant prosperous Chang'an, in the southeast of the Hibiscus Pond, lanterns were lit up in the Wanshou Temple and rose under the eaves. Outside the mountain gate, the busy craftsmen stopped, wiped the sweat from their faces, looked up, and looked at the altar standing in the crimson. They finally completed all the carvings before dusk today.
