"Li Gan, you've fallen into the trap!"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, instantly splitting Li Gan's face into pieces.
Li Gan snorted, and without saying anything, continued to rush towards the nobleman.
So what if you fall into the trap?
Even if this is a trap, I have to jump down with my eyes closed!
If something happened to these nobles, no matter how many merits he made, it would not be enough to atone for his sins!
Li Gan rushed to the noble man without hesitation, shielding him completely with his body. He scanned the surrounding situation as quickly as possible, constantly thinking about where to escape.
I can't find a loophole for the time being, so I have to take it one step at a time.
If it really doesn't work, even if I die with the noble man, at least I can be considered a martyr in the line of duty.
Of course, it would be better if you could survive.
Li Gan's selfless act was actually a helpless one, but in the eyes of some people, he became a brave, loyal, generous and tragic man.
The nobleman he protected couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why are you doing this when you know it's impossible?"
Li Gan said nothing, but swung the knife in his hand tightly, knocking away several arrows that were shot at them with strong winds. After a moment, he replied:
"Don't give up until the last moment! You might be able to get out if you just give it a try!"
"Haha, you are quite resilient. Let me lend you my good wishes."
Before he could finish his words, a second volley of arrows rained down.
Li Gan and his men were instantly caught up in a bitter battle, and the pressure was mounting. However, the guards, who had been struggling to hold on, now had a chance to breathe.
However, although the people Li Gan brought with him were all good fighters, their number was too small.
Add to that the rain of arrows, and if you make a mistake, someone will get hurt. On Li Gan's side, someone was soon injured.
While fighting, Li Gan observed the environment, terrain, and the enemy's situation. Finally, he found an opportunity, took the nobleman on his horse, and quickly broke out of the encirclement.
Several of Li Gan's trusted subordinates immediately fought their way forward and chased after him on horseback.
Among the guards who were originally protecting the noble, there were two who were smart and quick-witted. They also took two other important people hostage and followed closely behind.
Some of the remaining people rushed towards the gap and chased out.
The other part stayed where they were and fought with the enemies who had surrounded them. They were risking their lives to cover their retreat.
However, Li Gan and his companions who rushed out soon discovered that something seemed wrong.
The fact that he was able to break out didn't seem to be entirely due to finding the right path, but more likely, the enemy was deliberately letting him go. However, this letting go wasn't out of good intentions.
This is a trap.
The trap that surrounds the traveling nobleman is only the surface of the trap.
Using the nobleman as bait to lure Li Gan over is the second layer of the trap.
The third layer of the trap is to divide Li Gan's men and the nobleman's guards into several parts and devour them in waves.
It seems that their goal is to capture Li Gan and the nobleman alive.
If the enemy had not had this in mind, Li Gan and his men would have been in great danger.
After Li Gan realized the core of this trap, he immediately made a decision: return to the city as quickly as possible!
The terrain in the suburbs is open and clear at a glance. There is no way to escape and no place to hide... and if you return to Beiguan Town, even if the situation is still bad, you can always borrow soldiers.
Li Gan saw through the enemy's trap, and the enemy also saw through Li Gan's plan, so they naturally wanted to stop them from returning to the city.
The two sides immediately started fighting fiercely, and the battle became increasingly brutal.
When Li Gan finally broke out of the encirclement, rode a horse with two men, and ran back to Beiguan Town covered in blood, he had already suffered six or seven external injuries.
The noble man he had been trying to protect also suffered two minor injuries.
The two entered the city from the southeast corner of Beiguan Town.
However, although the two of them entered the city smoothly, Li Gan became more and more depressed.
Firstly, they left many traces along the way, and if the pursuers were unwilling to give up, they were not out of danger yet; secondly, they rode directly into the city - although the gate in the southeast corner was a bit simple, there was no soldier guarding it, which was a bit wrong!
Could it be that there is another trap ahead?
Li Gan gritted his teeth. After bleeding a lot, he felt a little dizzy, but the toothache that had tortured him to death before was basically gone.
Along the way, Li Gan was thinking about where to borrow troops or where to hide to be safe. His mind was twisting and turning, and countless thoughts turned over in his mind - the most important thing was that he was actually reluctant to think about who was behind this series of traps.
Apart from his rival Xiao Lubuhua, his biggest enemy is his stepmother whose true identity was exposed by him.
However, although his stepmother's family had some connections in the military, those connections were not fools. Even if they were willing to help her harm him, they would not be willing to help her harm that noble man...
Although Li Gan did not dare to let his guard down, he still relaxed a little after entering the city. In addition, he was overthinking and fell off his horse without thinking.
The nobleman hurriedly jumped off his horse and wanted to help him up, but found that Li Gan had already fainted.
this……
Probably due to excessive blood loss, Li Gan must be in urgent need of medical treatment.
The nobleman had not decided where to go, but when he saw this situation, he became anxious and suddenly had a direction: go straight to Puji Hall.
The noble man was not a weak scholar. He usually strengthened his muscles and practiced martial arts to keep fit. He was also quite good at riding and shooting. It was a bit difficult for him to help the unconscious Li Gan onto the horse.
The nobleman pulled off Li Gan's belt, tied Li Gan to the horse's back, sat behind Li Gan, and galloped away.
The process of their running to Pujitang went relatively smoothly.
Although Li Gan was unconscious, he was still losing blood along the way. The clear trail of blood directly pointed the direction for the pursuers.
Doctor Wang from Pujitang had broken his leg last time due to a conflict between the new captain and the deputy captain, so when he saw people who looked like soldiers, his face looked a little unhappy.
However, Doctor Wang had also met this nobleman before he retired, so his expression only looked ugly for a moment, then turned into surprise, and then turned into a face full of respect.
The nobleman didn't waste any words and said directly that he had been assassinated and needed to recuperate in Puji Hall.
Without saying a word, Doctor Wang asked his apprentice to take Li Gan into the back hall and asked his servant to lead the horse to the backyard. He immediately closed the doors and windows, lowered the shutters, and hung a wooden sign outside: "The boss has something to do, so we are closed for business."
Xie Jiabao, the young apprentice newly accepted by Doctor Wang, discovered something was wrong, so he personally took a broom, scooped up a dustpan of ash, and went out to clean up the bloodstain.
