The Chen family was fine, but everyone in the Tai family was already chanting Buddha's name in their hearts.
Because seven or eight people were injured in the previous encounter. If the people coming were not reinforcements, they would probably lose their lives here today!
Fortunately, fortunately, God showed mercy again. As soon as the cavalry arrived, they fired a rain of arrows and gave the horse thieves a surprise attack.
Chen Peng immediately shouted, "Kill them quickly, attack from both sides!"
Everyone woke up as if from a dream, and immediately brandished their sabers, fighting the horse thieves with all their strength.
The horse thieves howled in anger, unable to understand who the newcomers were and why they were targeting them! Being attacked from both sides was not a pleasant feeling; the situation had completely reversed!
The leader of the horse bandits blocked a saber and chopped off two feather arrows. He gritted his teeth in hatred and heard the screams of his subordinates. Finally, he whistled and prepared to retreat.
But the newcomers seemed determined to keep them. More than a hundred of them had discarded their bows and arrows, drew their sabers and rushed forward, forming an encirclement.
How arrogant he was before, how panicked he is now.
The bandits desperately tried to escape, but the invaders were skilled horsemen and outnumbered them. The Chen and Tai families were also in high spirits and showed no sign of weakness.
After a stalemate of a few minutes, the leader of the horse thieves was chopped off his horse!
Chen Zhao shouted to everyone, "Hurry up and finish off the enemy, clean up the battlefield, be careful not to attract the prairie wolves!"
After that, he and Tai Jiye went to thank the leader of the reinforcements.
Whatever the reason, it is a fact that this group of people saved their lives.
The bandits were brutal, and even if they had handed over their goods, they probably wouldn't have been able to save their lives. But now, they've saved both their goods and their lives, which is truly incredible!
At this moment, dusk has completely enveloped the grassland.
As the two approached, the leader of the reinforcements had just dismounted. Before Chen Zhao could react, Tai Jiye shouted in surprise, "Brother Hu! Why are you here?"
It turned out that it was Mr. Hu who arrived with the reinforcements!
Back then, when he was in the capital, he was betrayed by his old friends and subordinates and was almost killed. After he was finally taken away, the Tai family still missed him for a long time, wondering how he was doing.
I didn’t expect to see it now in this vast grassland!
Mr. Hu laughed heartily, stepped forward and patted Tai Jiye's shoulder, shouting, "Brother Tai, nice to see you again! How is the old man? How is Zhuzhu? I was planning to go to Tai'an, but I didn't expect to run into you here."
At this time, Tai Yonglu and Chen Ruiyang also heard the noise and ran over. The two boys pulled Hu Sheng's arms, jumping and dancing with joy, and they were very close.
"Uncle Hu, are you healed?"
"Uncle Hu, my grandfather was still talking about you before we left!"
Mr. Hu patted their heads and said, "I've had someone find a few ponies for you and Pearl. We'll have a share later. Go pick one out and see if you like it."
"Thank you, Uncle Hu!" Tai Yonglu and Chen Ruiyang cheered together, jumped up like monkeys and ran to choose a pony.
Boys’ love for horses is like it is engraved in their nature, especially when it is a pony that they can raise with their own hands, which makes them extremely happy!
Just now, he was so frightened by the horse thieves that his legs were weak and his heart was trembling, but now he had forgotten all about it.
What a horse thief! He is not as important as the pony!
Seeing the two boys running away, everyone couldn't help laughing.
In order to prevent accidents, the fortress formed by the convoy was not removed, but a bonfire was lit in the middle.
Tai Jiye and Chen Zhao invited Boss Hu to sit down with them, drink some hot water and chat.
Boss Hu frequents the grasslands all year round and has encountered things like today countless times. His men are as tough as horse thieves and are also professional at cleaning up the battlefield.
The Chen and Tai families naturally had to go help. Seeing that the horse thieves, who had been so arrogant and vicious just now, could no longer move, the Chen family was fine, but the Tai family had a lot of thoughts...
It was Chen Zhao's first time meeting Boss Hu, so he didn't know what to say, and Tai Jiye spoke first.
"Brother Hu, where did you hear this news? Did you know we were in danger and come to rescue us?"
Boss Hu smiled and nodded. "As you know, I've been traveling around the grasslands for years, and I know how many caravans there are here. When I heard you were coming, I wanted to come over and get together. But I didn't expect that I would be held up by something."
"I set out this morning and rushed here. Halfway through, I heard that the bandits were on the move. I guessed something was wrong, so I rushed over and finally helped a little. Otherwise, if you were injured on the grassland, I would have been too embarrassed to see you again!"
Tai Jiye's heart warmed when he heard this and he asked, "Brother Hu, have you recovered from your injury? It's really tiring to travel so much!"
Boss Hu waved his hand nonchalantly. "I'm not a delicate woman. My minor injuries have long since healed, and I've dealt with the restless subordinates. It's just that some things happened back here on the grassland, and I can't leave for too long, so I hurried to find you. I want to ask about your family and bring some things for Grandpa and Zhuzhu. When I can get free here, I'll go find Grandpa and have a good meal and drink with him."
"Okay, my father is thinking about you too. When we left, he told me that if I saw you, I must ask if you were okay."
Tai Jiye was not lying. The old man was indeed worried about him. After all, when Boss Hu was carried away from the courtyard in the city, he lost half his life. It looked really bad.
Fortunately, Boss Hu is in a very strong physique. It hasn't been long since he recovered and is full of energy again.
Chen Zhao listened quietly beside them and refilled their water with hot water from time to time.
Boss Hu thanked him and asked, "Who is this..."
Tai Jiye quickly introduced him, "Brother Hu, this is Brother Chen Zhao, Ruiyang's uncle. We were so lucky to enter the grassland this time. We found Brother Chen without much effort. And when we were in danger, Brother Hu arrived just in time. Haha, there really is no one luckier than us."
