Chapter 156 Evenly matched
Yan Saner had never learned how to ride a horse, so she had to take turns to ride a ride with Li Jian and Wei Huo.
The Xianyang city gate has been banned at night, but with the imperial order certificate, Li Jian and Wei Huo took Yan Saner out of the city smoothly.
"The fourth brother wants to enter the army, so he can't ride a horse." Wei Huo said to Yan Saner behind him while galloping.
Yan Saner blinked and smiled, "Although I can't ride a horse, I still understand driving a little bit and can be a driver."
Li Jian shook his head after hearing this, Wei Huo burst out laughing and said, "Which chariot driver is not proficient in riding?"
Yan Saner opened her mouth and finally said nothing.
The three of them rode their horses and rushed towards Sanchuan County.
Leaving Xianyang and passing Mount Li, there are continuous bushes. These low bushes are like hedgehogs in the middle of winter, piercing the air with dead branches, and hideously in the night.
"Firelight!" The horses along Li Jian were trained. They knew their master's thoughts and immediately stopped forcibly without neighing.
Wei Huo also stopped chatting with Yan Saner, narrowing his eyes at the faint light of fire in the bushes in the distance.
"Look at this fire is only one ball, no military tent, and there are not many people." Wei Huo said.
Li Jian nodded: "This is not far from Xianyang, and I have never heard of an army stationed. If I make a good judgment, it is likely to be a robber or a horse thief."
Yan Saner has grown up so old, which is the first time she has left Xianyang City. When she heard that there might be thieves or horse thieves gathering around the fire in front of her, her body trembled.
Since he was a child, he heard stories about various robbers and horse thieves from all over the world, saying that these people are so hot that they rape women without taking a bath or killing men without blinking.
"We... go around?" Yan Saner asked tentatively with a terror. Although he knew that these two sworn brothers were from generals, he had never been on the battlefield and was very afraid of fighting.
Wei Huo smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll listen to everything."
Li Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "It is our responsibility to protect the country and the people. It would be fine if there were merchants ahead. If they were really thieves, as long as the number of people did not exceed my pot of arrows, then those who surrendered would be taken as soldiers and those who resisted would be killed."
Wei Huo nodded with a smile, and the three of them fell from the horse, quietly circled in a big circle, slowly approaching the flames.
After getting closer, you can clearly see a few people sitting around the fire.
Li Jian counted and found that there were nine people in total, and nine war horses were tied to the surrounding short trees.
These nine people were dressed in Hu people, and they had to wear standard scimitars on the nine war horses, and even bows and arrows were hung on them.
Li Jian frowned and lowered his voice and said to Wei Huo: "This is the Hu cavalry. How did he run to the hinterland of my Great Qin? Could it be that there has been a change in the north?"
Wei Huo also recognized the Hu people as cavalry, but he had always been bold and careful. At this moment, he said calmly: "These people seem to have no helpers, and they should not be the Hu people's troops. As for what they do in the hinterland of Daqin, it is better to arrest them and ask."
After hearing the two of them, Yan Saner stuck out her tongue and said that these were nine Hu cavalrymen. They actually had to rely on two people to capture nine people.
A fire flashed in front of him, and the face of a Hu man flashed. Yan Saner saw the appearance of the Hu man and almost screamed. He hurriedly covered his mouth, climbed to Li Jian and Wei Huo and whispered: "San brother, look, that Hu man is just making trouble in the Silk Xianglou."
Wei Huo watched carefully and saw that three of them were just a few of them who were thrown over by him at the Xiangxiang Tower.
At this moment, the Hu people with wolf head tattooed are obviously the leader of the nine of them. The Hu people are still martial, and the leader's combat power must be the highest.
With this judgment, Wei Huo whispered to Li Jian about the matter about the Xiangxiang Tower so that Li Jian could judge the combat effectiveness of these Hu people.
A gust of wind blew, and the voices of several Hu people gradually became clear.
The Hu man in the lead said in awkward words: "We are ordered to cross Hetao this time and we must be careful in everything. Today's things are my fault and will not happen in the future."
What he was talking about was obviously in the sniffing Xianglou.
Several Hu people nodded, and one of them said, "The Virtuous King asked us to find the Wuling treasure that had no fixed trace like a hurricane on the grassland. It was ridiculous."
"It's ridiculous, and you have to do it. Now Maodun Shanyu is strong now. If you really find this treasure of martial spirit and offer it to Maodun Shanyu, my last branch can find a strong backer." said the Hu people in the lead.
"In my opinion, it is better to rely on the King of Donghu. This man ruled the east side of the prairie for decades and was an eagle on the prairie." said a Hu man.
"The King of Donghu is old, but his descendants are not outstanding. I am afraid he will not be the opponent of Maodun Shanyu in the future. The decision of the King of Wise is right." The leader of the Hu people retorted.
Li Jian and the other two hid not far away, and didn't listen to anything else, only the four words "Wu Ling Relic Treasure" were clearly heard.
"This group of people came to my Daqin to find treasures, so there must be not many people." Li Jian whispered.
Wei Huo sneered and said, "The Hu people are so crazy that they actually covet the treasures in the hinterland of my Great Qin. Now that we have met them, we must take care of them."
"Previously, those Hu people wanted to kill the fourth brother. The leader would capture him alive later and let the fourth brother kill him with his own hands." Li Jian has always revenged his grudges.
Yan Saner was stunned for a moment. He had skin injuries when fighting on the streets, and even occasionally he saw blood, he just cut a little bit of his flesh. Now when he saw Li Jian talking about killing, he seemed to be a common person. He was a little shocked and yearned for him.
Li Jian asked Yan Saner to hide in the distance, while he and Wei Huo quietly touched the places where the Hu people were.
When there were more than ten steps away from the few people, Li Jian stopped, and Wei Huo took a round half a circle to the other side where the nine Hu people were.
After Wei Huo took his position, Li Jian slowly pulled out three carved feather arrows from the quiver behind him and slowly pulled open the large mulberry bow.
A "bang" sounded.
The eagle-feathered arrow drew an invisible black line in the darkness and directly inserted it on the neck of the tallest man except the Hu leader.
Before the tall and strong Hu man could make a scream, Li Jian's second arrow had been shot out. At this time, Hu man discovered that someone was attacking, and the second arrow had been inserted into the neck of another Hu man.
"Bang" When the third arrow was shot, nine Hu people discovered the blood spurted from the neck of the tall turtle man, but at this time the third person had been shot through the throat by the eagle-feather arrow.
"Enemy attack!" Hu people shouted, pulled out the scimitars from their waists, and rushed towards the hidden direction of Li Jian.
These six Hu people are not weak, and it is difficult to shoot head-on when they are prepared. Li Jian abandoned the Sangmu Dakou, picked up the spear that had been prepared long ago, and went up to meet him.
Just as several Hu people rushed towards Li Jian, Wei Huo's figure was like a ghost, rushing quickly and quietly behind the Hu people.
At this moment, all the Hu people were facing Li Jian, and no one saw Wei Huo appearing behind him.
Wei Huo held a short sword in his hand, rushed to the back of the last Hu man, and the short sword penetrated into the man's vest. At the same time, Wei Huo stretched out his hand and covered the man's mouth, making him unable to give a warning.
Wei Huo's short sword stirred the Hu people's vest a few times, and confirmed that the man could not die. As soon as he turned, he rushed behind another person and made the same move.
When the Hu people found someone behind, there were only three people left.
At this time, they and Li Jian had already had close contact. Li Jian was originally a master of guns, but now he has a better advantage in facing the Hu people's scimitar.
After knocking down the Hu people in front with one shot, the remaining two Hu people were shocked. Nine of them were killed instantly.
"It's evenly matched now!" Wei Huo pulled the short sword in his hand and said with a smile.
