Bare soil slopes stand on both sides of the road.
Two young men were standing on the slope. They were both wearing short clothes, wearing military bows on their heads, cowhide belts around their waists, and various jade ornaments. They were holding big bows, and they were both taking aim.
There were four men dressed as servants standing behind the two of them, carrying quivers on their backs, with smiles on their faces.
"Whoosh~~"
"Whoosh~~"
The two arrows were shot almost at the same time.
"Hit!"
One person shouted in surprise and quickly drew back his bow, but the other person didn't recognize it, "I shot it!"
"Brother, how can you lie? It was obviously me who shot him!"
"Oh, just based on your shooting skills? If you hit it, I will carry you back to the city. If not, your Qingli Shuang will be mine. How about it?"
"No, if I was the one who shot it, my brother's big dog will be mine!"
Neither of them gave in to the other.
The shorter junior muttered: "I just told you yesterday that you should read more of the Classic of Filial Piety and know the principles of harmony. Why don't you just give in to me?"
"Hey, are you just going to let me read it? Why don't you know how to let me read it?"
His elder brother pointed to the slave beside him and said, "Ading, go and bring the prey over. Don't touch or move. I must seize this boy's precious colt!"
The younger brother also snorted coldly, "Ading, go back quickly, I must snatch his big dog!"
Looking at the vindictive brothers, the slave shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"As commanded."
The slave quickly mounted his horse and rushed down the slope.
The scorching sun is shining high, even though it is autumn, this scorching sun does not put away much light and heat.
On the gray-white ground, waves of heat rolled, vaguely showing double images.
Two people supported each other and moved forward feebly on the road.
Their clothes were in tatters, with several holes exposed, and they had no shoes on their feet. They just stepped on the hot ground. Heart-wrenching pain came from the soles of their feet, but they could not express any expression.
They just looked straight into the distance and moved their bodies little by little.
The two of them are not very old, and they don't even have beards. One of them is still sober, but the other is confused and almost relies on the other to move forward.
"Brother, if you keep insisting, Cheng'an will give you food and the food will be here soon."
"Um"
Another person spoke softly in response to him.
"Don't fall asleep. It's just a few steps away. There's food over there, and they'll also grant land and houses. We're almost there."
"We've even survived the winter. If there's anything we can't survive, brother, just hold on a little longer."
The lips of the person who spoke were white and cracked, but he was still chattering.
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Two voices sounded.
"Pfft."
The arrow penetrated directly through the back of the person being supported, and another arrow was inserted into the ground.
The man screamed and fell down with his younger brother.
The two fell to the ground, and the younger brother quickly stood up. Looking at the arrow behind his elder brother, his whole body started to tremble, "Brother!! Brother!!"
Just as he was panicking, the sound of horse hooves came from the side.
He raised his head and saw a horse galloping from the slope. It was a very strong man. He waved his whip and with a heavy blow, his brother was knocked to the ground, and his skin was torn.
The man jumped off the horse, grabbed the people on the ground, put them on the horse, searched around and found the arrow.
He smiled bitterly, "Second Young Master has to cry again this time."
He shook his head and inserted the arrow into the man's body. The man let out a cry of pain, and the slave mounted his horse and quickly galloped up the high slope.
The younger brother was left lying on the ground, screaming in pain and crying hysterically.
The servant made a circle on his horse, rushed up the slope, and then threw the man in front of the brothers.
"Shoot at the same time, both hit"
The older man snorted coldly, "You old dog, could it be that you've done something wrong again? How can he still hit it from such a distance?"
"How dare you, servant? Maybe the second young master has made some progress."
The younger one raised his head proudly, "That's right! Do you think you can always beat me?"
He stretched out his hand, and the slave beside him immediately handed him a new arrow.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "How about it? Do you dare to compete again?"
"Bibibi, there is another prey, let's see who of us can shoot it."
At this moment, a slave suddenly spoke.
"Young Master, someone seems to be coming."
The two stopped arguing and looked towards the intersection together.
I saw a group of people and horses appearing in the distance. Several knights were following a carriage and were slowly advancing on the road.
The younger brother was very displeased, "There are so many roads that I can't take, but I choose to take the small road, disturbing my elegance, and see if I don't shoot him!"
The elder brother was extremely displeased and said, "How outrageous!"
"My family is founded on morality and has poems and books passed down from generation to generation. How can we make a mistake? Stop talking nonsense!"
"Let's just wait for them to leave."
The carriage came all the way to the prey and then stopped.
"Mr. Lu, he is a dead citizen. He seems to be injured."
The knight said to the carriage.
A man came out of the carriage. He was about forty years old, with a beautiful beard, a dignified demeanor, clear eyes, and gentleness.
He looked up at the boy who was crying not far away, paused and said, "Ask him what happened."
The knight hurriedly stepped forward, asked something, and then returned to the man, "Mr. Lu, he said that he took his brother to Cheng'an and surrendered. As soon as he got here, he was shot dead by someone on the high slope.
He also rode down and snatched away his brother."
"What?"
Lu Yao was a little surprised. He followed the direction pointed by the knight and looked towards the slope, and he saw a few people.
He immediately frowned and said, "Go and call those people down."
The knight rode off and quickly, those people appeared in front of Lu Yao and bowed to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao looked at the two teenagers in front of him, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The older disciples hurriedly replied: "My lord, we are descendants of the He family in Linzhang. We have a day off today, so we came here to eliminate harm to the people and shoot dead people and bandits."
Lu Yao frowned, "He clan? Are you a member of He'an, the governor of Yizhou?"
"Exactly so!"
"The governor and the governor are smart, respectful and conscientious people. How can there be people like you? Doing harm to the people? What kind of harm are these two people? They are going to Cheng'an to surrender, how can you treat human lives with such indifference?!"
"I see that you two are also brothers. How can you bear to let other people's brothers separate and shoot his elder brother in front of his younger brother?"
"I have to write a book and ask your family's elders how they teach their children."
Fear finally appeared on the faces of the two people. They looked at each other and hurriedly knelt in front of Lu Yao.
"Please forgive me! We will never dare again!"
"We don't know that they are dead people who want to surrender to the county government. We just think of them as shooting bandits to eliminate harm for the people. Please bypass us once, and we will never do it again."
The two kept begging for mercy and begging.
Lu Yao looked at the fainting dead people in the distance, and then at the two bastards in front of him. He clenched his hands. He wanted to say something at this moment. His hands trembled for a long time. In the end, he reluctantly let go and sighed.
He said, "Okay, you guys get up first."
At this moment, the loud sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.
Then he saw an extraordinarily huge war horse galloping towards him. The war horse was green in color and extremely large in size. The man riding the horse was also tall, but he was dressed like an official. There was a group of people following behind him.
When the war horse appeared, the two brothers couldn't take their eyes away, looking straight at the war horse.
The Zaoli rushed to their side, jumped off his horse, and with smooth movements, he walked in front of everyone in a few steps. The knights quickly raised their weapons, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, and before the slaves could react, he
He snatched the quiver from his arms.
He took out the arrow and looked at it carefully.
The two brothers were very angry at the rude soap official, but their eyes could not be separated from the blue lion.
The strong man looked at the person in front of him, "Is this your arrow?"
"be mine."
The young man answered and pointed to the war horse beside him, "This is."
At this moment, Lu Yao subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He saw the left eye of the strong man in front of him twitch, and his eyes became particularly fierce. The next moment, the light of the sword flashed.
A human head flew out and fell directly into Lu Yao's arms.
Lu Yao lowered his head, looked at the head in his arms, shuddered, and dropped the head.
"ah!!"
Just as the brother shouted, the strong man stabbed him again.
The other slaves hurriedly drew their weapons, but the men behind the strong man rushed forward, the swords flashed, and several slaves fell to the ground instantly.
The knights around Lu Yao were stunned. Their hands holding weapons were trembling, and they cautiously took a few steps back.
Lu Yao took a deep breath.
"Who are you?"
"Do you know these people?"
"I don't know them. I just saw them killing people indiscriminately and called them to reprimand them."
"Then go your way, these are all wanted criminals!"
Lu Yao licked his lips and looked around, his voice trembling.
"Let's go"
