Chapter 197 Reunion with an Old Friend
Chapter 197 Reunion with an Old Friend
Qi Shang, who was hiding in another part of the forest dressed as a bandit, was also taken aback when he saw the real bandits who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"General, shall we continue?"
"Wait a little longer and see how things unfold."
At the same time, the bandit leader who was charging ahead was also surprised to see the mad horse charging towards them. They had originally planned to storm the horse farm, but before they even got there, the young nobleman inside had charged over first!
"spread!"
Faced with the sudden turn of events, the bandit leader shouted, but before he could finish speaking, none of these untrained rabble wanted to use their flesh and blood to stop the mad horse. They scattered and dodged.
Unable to control his horse, Tao You was forced to bravely charge into the midst of the bandits.
But Wu Guo, who was chasing after them, was not so lucky. After a brief moment of being caught off guard, the bandit leader reacted immediately and, in perfect unison with his partner, grabbed both ends of the straw rope and used the momentum of their charge to slide forward and trip the horse's legs.
The chestnut horse buckled forward and fell, throwing Wu Guo off balance. Fortunately, he was a skilled horseman and reacted quickly to the sudden situation. He rolled a few times on the ground during the fall to dissipate the force. When he stopped, he was covered in dust, but fortunately, he was not seriously injured.
"catch him!"
Perhaps it was because Wu Guo looked like a fat sheep rolling in oil that the bandit leader's eyes gleamed with gold when he looked at him.
Wu Guo did a somersault and jumped up to dodge the attacking wooden stick, which shows that he really has some skill.
"Help!"
Unfortunately, he only had two moves, and Wu Guo, clumsy and inept, fled in a sorry state.
"Lang Jun!"
At this moment, Wu's guards also rushed over and fought with the bandits. Outnumbered, they did not seek victory but only to protect their master and help him escape.
Seeing this, Tao Yang, who was a step behind, quickly reined in his horse, turned around, and ran away without hesitation. The young masters from the noble families behind him were stunned for a few moments until Tao Yang passed them, at which point they turned around and followed him on horseback.
Just kidding, even his own brother doesn't care, so what are these cousins compared to him?
Just as everyone was busy running for their lives, a fast horse came rushing down the hillside. The general on the horse suddenly leaped up and stood on the back of the galloping horse, drew three arrows from the quiver, drew his bow, and shot them in their direction!
The young men were startled by the arrows that grazed their faces, breaking out in a cold sweat. They only came to their senses when they heard screams and crashing sounds behind them. When they turned around, they saw that the arrows had hit the bandits chasing them, followed by a whooshing sound as the arrows struck and the men fell.
This is what Wu Guo saw when he broke through the encirclement under the cover of his servants. The female general on horseback was like a killing god, her arrows never missing their mark. Before he could even sigh, she had already spurred her horse past him and charged into the bandits.
The pursuing bandits were clearly intimidated, treating the approaching man and horse as a formidable enemy. However, the general simply galloped past them without taking them seriously.
The bandits and the stagnant young masters of noble families were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
"run!"
"Chase!"
Time seemed to resume its flow, the young master of the noble family galloped away on his horse, and the bandits chased after him at breakneck speed.
Wu Guo happened to be in an empty space, and for a moment no one paid attention to him. Looking around, a breeze blew through his messy hair, and he was a little confused.
Meanwhile, the crazed black horse, Wuzhui, was oblivious to the situation and was still running wildly among the bandits, while Tao You was almost exhausted.
In the crowd, Ye Mingzhu's frail body was pushed and squeezed, and she was knocked to the ground before she could catch her breath. Immediately afterwards, she clearly heard a loud and piercing neigh. Looking up, she saw the mad horse raising its front hooves high.
Ye Mingzhu's pupils contracted and her heart stopped beating. She was momentarily paralyzed and could only watch helplessly as the horse's hooves came crashing down. At that critical moment, a small red horse leaped sideways and crashed into the head of the black horse. In the instant the red horse leaped into the air, the rider gripped the horse's belly with his legs, bent over, and scooped up Ye Mingzhu with one hand.
The black horse was bumped and stopped, shaking its head. Before Tao You could even breathe a sigh of relief, the black horse started galloping back the way it came.
"what--"
Everything happened in an instant. By the time Ye Mingzhu could react, she had already landed steadily on the horse. She looked up and saw a familiar face. All the breath she had been holding on for was finally released, and tears welled up in her eyes. She buried her face in the arms of the person who came in and cried bitterly.
"Sister Shen!"
