Li Zhu, carrying Wang Riqing, fell to the ground. He crashed into the edge of the carriage carrying the weight of two people, nearly breaking his bones in the impact…
Are you alright?
Li Zhu looked at Wang Riqing in his arms and asked with concern. His actions deeply moved Wang Riqing; this was the first time someone had risked their life to protect her…
Wang Riqing, his eyes sparkling, didn't react for a moment...
Li Zhu looked at Wang Riqing, who remained silent and stared blankly at him, and subconsciously said...
"Did she get hit and become mentally impaired? Marrying a mentally challenged woman as a concubine shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"You're the fool... Nobody would ever want to be your concubine..."
When Wang Riqing came to his senses, he almost fainted from anger upon hearing Li Zhu's words. Was this guy a dog? His words were so awful…
Besides, even if I marry you, I want to be the empress; being a concubine is just too much of a loss…
Pshaw...
"I don't want to marry this jerk with such low emotional intelligence," Wang Riqing thought, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Hmm, from now on, I'll bestow upon you the title of 'Silly Consort'..."
Li Zhu acted as if he hadn't heard Wang Riqing's refusal and continued talking to himself!
boom!
The carriage was lifted up by a tremendous force. Outside, Wang Yanzhang was wreaking havoc, and taking advantage of a moment of inattention, he used his spear to lift the carriage up...
The moment the carriage was lifted, the two men were thrown off balance by the immense force of the impact, causing Li Zhu to fall directly onto Wang Riqing…
Li Zhu's first reaction wasn't danger, but rather an inward admiration: "Those legs are really long..."
"Your Highness, be careful..."
Wang Yanzhang roared; his daughter was still in the car, and he had no choice but to protect Li Zhu…
Upon hearing Wang Yanzhang's warning, Li Zhu immediately pulled Wang Riqing out of the carriage, and the next moment they saw a giant, easily two meters tall, charging towards the carriage...
"Holy crap... that was a brutal charge..."
With a loud crash, the carriage shattered into pieces under the giant's impact. As the dust settled, everyone could see the newcomers clearly. They had very distinct Hunnic features, except for one thing: their skin was whiter!
"Jie people!"
Wang Riqing immediately revealed the other party's background!
"Jie clan?"
Li Zhu was momentarily stunned. Why was the Jie tribe suddenly appearing? But he quickly remembered how cruel the Jie tribe was in history. They were a branch of the Xiongnu. In the world before he transmigrated, the Jie tribe briefly established a regime called Later Zhao!
However, the army of this regime was extremely cruel, treating the people of the Central Plains as food; the term "two-legged sheep" originated from this ethnic group...
They ravaged the Central Plains, keeping the Chinese people captive as military rations. By day they could eat people, and by night they had to endure their bestial acts. It was utterly cruel. Such a race did not deserve to exist in this world at all…
However, they ultimately paid the price for their brutality, and their entire nation almost disappeared from history…
Since such a thing hasn't happened yet, he wants to prevent it from happening. If you want to treat the Chinese people like two-legged sheep, I'll turn you into boiling sheep...
Thinking of this, Li Zhu's blood boiled, and he rushed forward without hesitation, raising his foot to kick the other man in the chest!
However, he overestimated his height, and his kick, intended for the chest, only landed on the opponent's stomach...
"Oh my god..."
Li Zhu started spouting national treasures, and his kick did indeed land, but the opponent's body seemed made of iron. The recoil nearly fractured Li Zhu's shinbone, while the opponent only staggered back two steps, suffering no other injuries...
Li Zhu frantically shook his right leg to relieve the pain. Seeing this, Wang Riqing quickly helped him up and asked with concern, "Brother Zhu, are you alright?"
"These sheep are really tough..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but complain!
"Boiling Sheep? What Boiling Sheep? They're from the Jie tribe..."
Wang Riqing said blankly, not understanding the meaning of the words Li Zhu suddenly blurted out...
"The sheep with a pile of poop on its head is..."
Only then did Li Zhu realize why he had bothered explaining this; he had simply spoken out of instinct...
"What I mean is that the Jie tribe's reputation is so bad it's worse than shit..."
"Their reputation is indeed bad. The new Tang Dynasty has just stabilized, and they're already trying to cause trouble. They clearly don't want the people to live a good life. This time they've appeared in Luoyang; who knows what kind of trouble they're up to..."
Wang Riqing also agreed!
After Li Zhu was thrown back, Wang Yanzhang also repelled the enemy in front of him. Then, he immediately stood in front of Li Zhu and blocked the giant!
"Shi Hu, finish this quickly..."
Upon hearing the name, Li Zhu paused for a moment and looked at the Jie man who had spoken. He was tall and strong, just like Shi Hu, with a fierce face, but his eyes revealed a wise light. Clearly, he was not a person who was all brawn and no brains!
"Are you Shi Le?"
Li Zhu looked at the person who spoke and asked uncertainly!
The person being questioned was clearly taken aback, and subconsciously replied...
How did you know?
"Holy shit...it really is you, you bastard...I'm going to kill you today..."
Li Zhu's behavior baffled Shi Le. He couldn't understand why Li Zhu was so agitated. Had he dug up his ancestral graves? Impossible! No one would know about tomb raiding…
Did I take his women away to serve in the army? That can't be right. Usually, when you do that, the woman's family is all slaughtered, so there's no way anyone would be alive to seek revenge!
"Brave warrior, we have no grudge against each other, why must you put me to death?"
Shi Le couldn't help but ask, bewildered!
"You came to assassinate me, and you still say we have no grudge against each other?"
Li Zhu was so angry he almost laughed. How could an assassin say such ridiculous things? It made him wonder how this guy had managed to bully the Central Plains so badly back then.
"I only wanted to use your convoy to hold off our pursuers. Please forgive me if I offended you..."
Shi Le spoke very politely, but Li Zhu knew him very well, so how could he let him off so easily!
"Pursuing and killing? You guys are obviously no good. My New Tang Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, how could anyone randomly hunt and kill others? Did you do something that angered both heaven and man to be hunted and killed?"
Li Zhu didn't hold back at all!
Shi Le was so angry he almost rolled his eyes. Was this even human? We'd only just met, we hadn't even gotten to know each other, so why did he assume I was a bad person?
Whoosh!
An arrow pierced the air and struck a Jie man in the chest; blood gushed out, and he was clearly dying…
"Shi Le, hand over the goods, and I'll spare your life..."
Suddenly a familiar voice came, and then a dashing figure appeared not far away!
