Chu Li did ride away on horseback.
While Chu Di was not paying attention and Chong Feng and Jing Ying were not around, she took a horse from the stable in the backyard and left the town without looking back.
"Aunt, which direction is the king's capital?"
The kind woman pointed the way: "That way."
"Thank you."
Chu Dichi will not go to rescue Qin Muyu.
This entire escape was a play, a play that moved her so much that if she hadn’t overheard the conversation between Jingying and Chongfeng, she would have almost been immersed in it.
How could she trust him?
He had fought through so much blood and gore over the years, and she probably wouldn't be able to last more than a few moves under his hands.
If you want to save Qin Muyu, you have to rely on yourself.
And that unnatural witch army...
Chu Li was riding on her horse, thinking about these things seriously. She didn't know how long she had been walking when seven or eight men suddenly rushed out from the woods beside the official road and surrounded her.
“Ouch!”
She tightened the reins and looked at the strangers.
They were about thirty years old, dressed in cloth and holding weapons. They were not ordinary people, but they did not look like martial arts masters either.
"Where did you steal this horse, boy?"
A one-eyed man came forward and stroked the horse's shiny mane.
This is a horse bred on the finest fodder.
One horse can be sold for ten taels of silver.
Chu Li sat as steady as a bell, "This is my horse."
"Hahaha!"
With just one sentence, all eight people laughed.
"You dirty, yellow-haired boy, you look like you grew up in a flea ditch. Not only do you steal other people's clothes, you also steal other people's horses."
Chu Li really looks too dirty.
He was still wearing Chu Dichi's outer robe.
"You are still young and don't learn well. Your parents don't teach you, but your uncles don't mind teaching you well!" The one-eyed dragon said sternly, "Come down quickly!"
Chu Li held the reins.
"If you dare to run, I will kill you both the horse and the person!"
A scarred man carrying a big knife fiercely blocked the road.
Chu Li needs this horse to get to the capital as soon as possible. Chu Dichi will definitely notice that she is missing and will catch up with her soon.
She had no time to waste.
"My dear friends, your business as a bully won't last long. If you happen to run into an official..."
"Bully?"
The one-eyed man's voice suddenly rose: "You little thief, are you blind? You actually think we are bandits? The eight of us brothers are the famous Eight Vajra in the martial arts world!"
The Eight Vajra?
Aren’t they people who carry coffins?
The one-eyed dragon took a big step forward, "I am the mountain guarding tiger!"
Scarface raised his sword and said, "I am a good fighter wolf!"
"I am Farsighted Eagle!"
"I am an agile leopard!"
The eight men all have their own nicknames, and each one of them is well-known, but what they do is...robbery.
It seems that these eight Vajras are not doing very well in the martial arts world.
Chu Li's eyes rolled and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"I know the names of all eight of you, but I am not a beggar. I am a nobleman. I just got into trouble. If you are willing to lend me a helping hand, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
The one-eyed man shouted, "You are so young, yet you are so arrogant!"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Li take out a small gold bar from the tightly tied waistband of his underwear.
One!
A big one!
Little gold bars!
The eight people's eyes suddenly widened.
"My horse is worth only a few taels of silver. It will be useless if you take it away. But this small gold bar in my hand can probably buy thousands of horses."
Chu Li was not a stingy person. She raised her hand and threw the small gold bar into the one-eyed dragon's arms.
The eight people immediately gathered together.
The one-eyed man quickly wiped the mud off the gold bar with his sleeve, revealing its golden glow, and then he bit it with his teeth.
Ouch!
It's gold!
What a big lump!
Scarface's eyes rolled: "Boy, now the gold is in our hands, we can kill you first and then take the horse!"
Chu Li smiled:
"A gold bar, and an endless supply of gold, what should you choose? You must be smart people."
this……
The eight people immediately gathered together and whispered:
"Could it be that 'he' is really a noble in trouble?"
"I see that this man speaks calmly and remains calm in the face of danger. He seems to be a capable person..."
"If we could..."
Chu Li sat calmly on the horse's back, stroking his earlobe.
It would be difficult for her to rescue Qin Muyu by herself, so she needed help. This group of people would not stand out too much and would not be too conspicuous, which was just right for her.
Soon, the eight people finished their discussion.
The one-eyed dragon asked, "How would you like us to help you?"
Chu Li curled his lips and said, "I want the four of you to lie dormant in the mountains and guard an important place for me. There are four more people..."
Tap tap tap!
At this moment, not far away, there was a sound of horse hooves galloping towards us.
Chu Dichi caught up so quickly?
Chu Li's heart tightened, and just as he rode out, he was stopped by a group of cavalry.
They are the cavalry of the southern barbarians.
There were 20 of them, surrounding Chu Li. "Young Master Chu, you made it so hard for us to find you!"
The one-eyed dragon stared:
"Wait, aren't you a noble? But now in this situation, you seem like a fugitive?"
"I am a noble among fugitives."
"you!"
Got fooled!
The cavalry drew their swords and were about to surround and kill the eight people.
"Stop!" Chu Li shouted, "Before, some bandits were causing trouble and trying to murder me. They saved me. Don't kill them."
The cavalryman sneered: "Prisoners have no right to order people around!"
The long sword was swung.
Cut it down!
Bang!
There was a cry of pain, but no bloody scene was seen. Instead, the cavalryman who wielded the sword was thrown off his horse and rolled two or three times in a mess.
Not far away, Chu Yeli slowly dispersed the internal force in his palms and rode over. He was wearing a jet-black brocade robe that outlined his noble figure. The way he held the reins and walked slowly over looked like a noble leopard, his eyes staring straight at Chu Li.
"Xiaojiu, I haven't seen you for two days. How come you have made yourself so miserable?"
The cavalrymen all nodded: "Your Highness Dong Ling."
"Fifth brother."
Fifth brother?
The one-eyed man was wide-eyed again. How, how... why did the situation change again?
"Aren't you a fugitive? Is this prince your brother?"
this.
How should I tell him?
Chu Li met Chu Yeli's gaze with a faint smile on his face. Without moving his lips, he whispered with his tongue: "This matter is a bit complicated, but you just need to remember that I am a nobleman. I have a lot of gold. If you work for me, I will not treat you unfairly."
Chu Yeli dismounted.
The first thing I saw was the robe she was wearing. Although it was dirty, the dark black brocade and the patterns embroidered with gold thread made it clear at a glance that it was the symbol of the Regent of Great Chu.
His eyes turned cold, and he grabbed her under the arms with both hands and carried her down.
"Fifth brother, why are you here? I was just about to go look for..."
"This dress is too dirty, wear mine."
He tore off her outer robe and threw it to the ground coldly, with such force in his knuckles that he seemed to want to tear the robe into pieces.
