"ah!!!"
The barbarians from Mobei were so angry at Liu Ji that they screamed and swung their swords at him again.
Liu Ji quickly dodged, hey, you can't hit me~
Just when he was being arrogant, he was suddenly stabbed from behind. Wang Wu and others saw it, but because the distance was too far, they could not reach him.
I only had time to shout, "Watch out behind you!"
Liu Ji only felt a gust of wind blowing at his back, and there was a long sword in front of him. He could not move forward or backward. He thought to himself, this is the end!
When it comes to life and death, a strong feeling of unwillingness suddenly arises in my heart.
Is it possible that such a suave, handsome and elegant man will die here?
He accomplished nothing in his short life and was hated by everyone. He died just like that. I guess everyone felt that it was a blessing in disguise.
But why should he let them have their way?
Two steel knives came at him at the same time, one from the front and one from the back. Liu Ji had no way to dodge, so he simply crouched down and rolled under the horse's belly.
All he heard was a "clang" and the sharp sound of weapons colliding passed by his ears. Liu Ji's gums were so itchy that he couldn't help swallowing hard.
A sturdy figure suddenly reached out and snatched Liu Ji out from under the horses' hooves of the two Mobei men.
Liu Ji looked up and saw that it was Liu Qi, the grandson of the village chief.
At the critical moment of life and death, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes will really be filled with tears.
Liu Ji's eyes were filled with tears.
Liu Qi had no time to comfort him, so he hurriedly stuffed his third uncle behind the grain cart and was about to charge forward relying on his courage.
"Qi!" Liu Ji quickly grabbed him and warned him word by word: "Catch the leader first, kill their leader!"
Just as Liu Qi was about to ask who was the leader, a heavy, cold dagger was pressed into his palm.
"This is the precious sword that your Third Aunt sharpened. Now Third Uncle is giving it to you. Go and kill the one riding the red horse with a white spot on its forehead. Go quickly!"
The precious sword that Third Aunt had sharpened?
The passionate young man's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily: "Okay!"
Taking the 'magic weapon sharpened by Third Aunt', Liu Qi ran into the chaotic night without saying a word.
Liu Ji's excited heart began to tremble.
Then…the young man suddenly ran back and stood beside the grain cart with him, “Uncle, I can’t catch up with the horse.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar steel knife came again. Liu Qi pounced on it, pulled the man off the horse, and stabbed him to death with a single blow.
The young man was very excited, "Uncle, this dagger is really useful!"
"......Okay, then you stand with uncle and protect me." After hesitating for a moment, the man had no choice but to coax her like this.
Liu Qi agreed decisively, "Okay!"
The enemies seemed to be getting fewer and fewer, and suddenly news of victory came from the front: Shangguan Lie had killed the leader of the Mobei cavalry.
The battle ended abruptly.
Liu Ji secretly wiped the stains on his forehead, which he was not sure whether it was blood or sweat, and fell on the pile of grain as if exhausted.
Liu Qi seemed to still have unlimited energy. He held the dagger and looked for the enemy soldiers with shining eyes.
Unfortunately, they were all killed by the soldiers led by Shangguan Lie.
They chased for a long distance and returned on horseback after a full quarter of an hour. Each of them was holding a few heads in his hands, which made everyone very excited.
After returning to the team, Shangguan Lie's first thing was to light torches and count the men, horses, and food.
Liu Qi had to return the dagger to Liu Ji and return to his group.
Only then did Liu Ji realize that the two of them had been in Shangguan Lie's team all along.
Only one was in front, and the other was at the back. And because Shangguan Lie had strict management, each of them guarded their own grain carts and never left their own groups, so the two of them had never seen each other.
Just now, Liu Qi accidentally heard Liu Ji's shouting and then realized his existence.
The village chief personally went to the county government office to make arrangements for his eldest grandson.
What does it mean that Liu Qi was assigned to Shangguan Lie’s team?
Liu Ji's eyes widened in disbelief. It turned out that he had wronged the official who was escorting him. The official had taken his money and was really doing the job.
He did not despise him just because he only had five cents. Instead, he carefully selected a reliable leader for him.
Liu Ji recalled the journey and realized that his team had avoided various potential dangers many times under the leadership of Shangguan Lie.
Then he looked at the broken grain transport team behind him and their leader who had died at the hands of the barbarians from Mobei, and hurriedly bowed three times towards the sky.
Thank you, sir. When Liu Ji becomes successful in the future, I will definitely come to your house to express my gratitude.
After a round of inventory, not a single grain cart was missing, and with everyone's full protection, no horses were killed or injured.
However, nineteen civilians died, seven were seriously injured and about to die, and more than forty were slightly injured.
Among the six people in Liu Ji's group, five suffered minor injuries to varying degrees.
He was the only one there, with messy hair and shabby clothes, but without even a scratch on his skin, which was a miracle.
After a brief inventory, the convoy took the dead laborers with them and continued to head to the original camping site to rest and bury the dead on the spot.
Because Liu Ji was not injured, he was named to join the funeral team. He dug the pit for most of the night and only had time to rest in the early hours of the morning. As soon as he fell on the grass, he fell into a deep sleep in his wet cotton clothes.
The next day, he was forcibly awakened by his companions.
It was already daybreak and the large group continued their march.
If Liu Ji had not seen the heads of Shangguan Lie and others hanging on their horses, he would have thought that the battle last night was a dream.
After experiencing last night, the negative energy that had been accumulated for many days burst out collectively, and everyone's mood fell to the bottom. The atmosphere was so depressing that it made people feel breathless.
Many people were injured, and another grain transport team was on the verge of collapse. The speed of travel slowed down greatly, and they only traveled 80 miles a day.
