Chapter 447: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 58
Lin Yuan went there happily. There were sounds of fighting all along the way, which prompted Guo Yi to send people to check, fearing that the group of people behind him would cause trouble for him.
Lin Yuan was knocked off his horse by Ji Liao again. He rolled over and stood up. The red tasseled spear in his hand had broken. He threw it away in disgust and reached for the butcher knife at his waist.
"You are indeed very powerful, but if we really fight, I am still sure I can kill you, Uncle Ji, you better be careful!"
Lin Yuan jumped onto the horse's back like an eagle spreading its wings, and with a little help from the horse, he pounced directly towards Ji Liao. He had never learned any proper martial arts, and fighting and killing relied entirely on his intuition and touch. Even so, no one in the mountain village could be his match.
Ji Liao thrust his spear, and Lin Yuan seemed to feel no pain. He did not dodge or evade, but rushed straight towards him. Ji Liao pulled the reins and took a step back. Ji Da rushed over from the side and hit Lin Yuan's shoulder hard with a heavy sword.
Lin Yuan fell to the ground, his shoulder blade aching as if it was about to split, and the butcher knife in his hand fell to the ground.
"Boss! Boss, are you okay?" A group of bandits finally came to their senses and helped the boss up.
I've followed the boss for so long, but it's rare to see him get defeated. Today he kept losing and has fallen several times.
Lin Yuan threw away his men and glared at Ji Liao with anger in his eyes, "You are cheating! I want to fight you in a duel!"
The spear in Ji Liao's hand poked Lin Yuan's shoulder, causing Lin Yuan to gasp in pain. Ji Liao said coldly:
"If it weren't for Ji Da's relentlessness, you would be dead now! What's the point of fighting alone when the person is dead!"
Lin Yuan was particularly unconvinced. "I can definitely beat you, but you keep hiding. You never fight me head-on. And I don't like using the Red Tassel Spear. Why do you have to use a gun? It's so annoying!"
Ji Liao felt that this guy was really difficult to deal with. He was a general, not a warrior. Who wanted to fight this guy head on?
His injuries haven't healed yet, and this kid is so impetuous. If he gets hurt by this kid, wouldn't it be so embarrassing!
Ji Liao rode on his horse, staring down at Lin Yuan with an unfathomable look on his face. "I want to teach you military tactics. There is no such thing as fighting alone on the battlefield. I only have one soldier, Ji Da, and you..."
Ji Liao looked around and pointed his gun at the bandits one by one. "You have so many men, but you can't beat the two of us. Are you still not convinced? How dare you shout?"
"Going into battle to kill the enemy is not about being violent and ruthless. With your appearance, if you go to the battlefield, they will all die one by one, and you won't live long either."
"Go change to a red tasseled spear. What does it look like to carry a butcher knife all day? You are not an assassin. You are stronger than an inch, don't you understand? As a commander, you must have the courage and responsibility that a commander should have. You don't need to fight the enemy in close combat unless it is absolutely necessary. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, don't you understand?"
Lin Yuan was scolded so badly that he couldn't even lift his head, and he went to practice shooting obediently. However, he still didn't give up the idea of having a hearty fight with Ji Liao, so in the afternoon, he took a group of his men to look for trouble again.
"I'll listen to you. Let's have another fight. If I beat you, you have to fight me too! I have more men, so I'll give you half. I won't take advantage of you."
Ji Liao glanced at those ugly guys with disdain and said, "No need. Just do it this way. If you can snatch the gold medal from me, you win."
Ji Liao casually waved the token that could command the Royal Guards in his hand, holding it out as a prize, "If you win, the gold medal will belong to you. This is pure gold, and it can be worth a lot of money if melted down."
The group of bandits became more motivated, their eyes glowing green.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. A group of bandits discussed for a long time and spoke in a very conscientious manner, but when the real fight started, no one cared about anyone else and the roars echoed throughout the wilderness.
Ji Da knocked a bandit off his horse and warned him, "You are already dead. Stay away and don't get in the way."
After the huge fight, only Lin Yuan was still on the horse. As expected, he lost again!
"Heh~ You are such a loser. Is that thing on your head just for show? There are so many of you and you can't even take him down."
Guo Yi came over with a long sword in hand, stood aside and watched the fun, and said in a mocking tone, "You guys don't know how to fight on horseback. You can't win unless you get him off the horse. You can't hit him, but can't you sweep the horse's legs?"
Lin Yuan got up from the ground, covered in dust. He pointed his gun at Guo Yi and shouted, "You just know how to make sarcastic remarks. If you can do it, come on!"
Guo Yi had always disliked Ji Liao, so he could not bear to hear this. He just picked up a horse, jumped on it, held the long sword across his chest, and rushed towards Ji Liao.
"I see that General Ji is alive and well, and he's not limping anymore. If I fight you, it won't count as bullying a lame man. Watch out!"
Ji Da immediately turned his horse's head and stood in front of Ji Liao. The heavy sword in his hand faced Guo Yi's broadsword. With a click, sparks flew.
"How dare you! If you want to fight the general, you have to get past me first!"
Ji Liao drew out a sword, and finally had a serious look on his face, "Ji Da, let him come over. He has been away from the Zhenbei Army for so long, he deserves to be punished. He won't feel comfortable unless he gets a beating!"
These words greatly angered Guo Yi. The veins on Guo Yi's hand holding the long knife bulged. He clenched his teeth tightly, swallowed his resentment and dirty words, and rushed towards Ji Liao silently!
After several rounds, Guo Yi had two more wounds on his body. Ji Liao picked up Guo Yi's long sword, kicked him off his horse, and put the sword in his hand on Guo Yi's neck.
"You lose! After so many years, you are still so reckless. The Zhenbei Army does not need a general like you. I have never regretted driving you away from the Zhenbei Army."
Guo Yi pounded the ground hard, his eyes red. He stood up regardless of the sword on his neck. Fortunately, Ji Liao retracted it quickly, leaving only a shallow cut.
"You are so amazing! You flatter the Yan family, get close to the Jiang family, and flirt with Duke Yue. Who in the court doesn't know the reputation of General Ji? You got your wish and were so proud of yourself. Did you ever think that this day would come?"
"Everyone in the court wants you dead. Yan Hongkang and the city defenders want to kill you. Yan Hongkang is a coward. He ran away when Jindu fell. We brothers finally took back Jindu, and when the situation stabilized, he ran back to grab the credit!"
"General Ji is very good at handling things. He is so thoughtful and you attributed the credit of our brothers to Yan Hongkang. Do you think you can get rid of me by giving me some reward? I won't! I want justice!"
Guo Yi's angry voice echoed in the wilderness. These words had weighed on his heart for many years, but he just wouldn't accept it!
Of course he hated Yan Hongkang's ugly behavior of snatching military merit, but what made him even more angry was Ji Liao. He treated Ji Liao as a brother, but Ji Liao actually stabbed him in the back and was in cahoots with Yan Hongkang!
