Blood seeped through the bandage, making people feel dazzling.

The scimitar dug through the grass roots, rubbed the fur of the cloak, and put it in his mouth to chew it slowly. The bitter taste made Gongsun Zhi frown. His pale face seemed nothing, but his feet had already been trapped in the mud, trying hard not to shake his body - the wound was too bleeding, and the fatigue of running around, could last until now, but in fact, he was still the ruthless spirit of not wanting to be killed.

Compared to his focus of Lu Bu's care, other horse thieves were much better, and the bad ones were basically dead. A team of more than 100 people was counted at this time, and about 80 people could fight. Such losses were considered a disastrous defeat for Gongsun Zhi.

They chased each other for a day and a night, and most of the remaining horse thieves were exhausted and they no longer remembered when they sat on the ground. Gongsun Zhi gritted his teeth and stood up with the dead branches. A young horse thief with a young face hurriedly ran over to support him, but he pushed him away.

"Are you tired..." He looked at the sitting figures, was silent for a moment, and then said: "We are horse thieves, robbing and killing passers-by, travelers... It is natural..."

The yellowing sunset shone over, and the birds crossed the sky, and the wounded figure on the ground subconsciously raised his head and looked at the person with his back to the light. He could not see his expression, but only his hoarse and coughing voice slowly said.

"... It is natural for wolves to eat sheep, and it is natural for officers and soldiers to suppress us. There is no right or wrong. Just because we are thieves, we kill the Huns and exchange things for food, in their eyes, they are still thieves. Because they hurt the interests of some people in the city, there is nothing right or wrong. But we don't want to die. Now we kill the official and have a stronger pursuit... Many brothers have died... I know everyone has their own ideas, but now they are on the opposite side. They are resting quickly and resting, and continue to come and kill us. Then put the knife on your neck and force you to kneel down and kowtow."

Gongsun Zhi took two steps and said in a fierce tone: "...If you don't even have the strength to get up and get a knife, you have run over for such a long way, but you will be caught like a dead dog, like a dog being cut by a knife. Think about it... are you willing?"

The thief in the crowd was just before, standing up with his chest slapped, "I'm not... unwilling to accept it... Leader, what do you think you should do?"

"Hahaha... Li Ke is a fool who knows how to fight. What am I afraid of? Leader, what should I do?" Someone smiled and struggled to get up. There was also a voice next to him: "The leader is right. We are horse thieves, and we fight with people wherever we go. Didn't the second leader go back? Now we should be on the way to come. Don't be afraid. The horses of the Han soldiers over there may not be thousands of miles of horses. If they chase, let's run again."

The sound of talking was heard among the horse thieves. On the opposite grass slope, Lu Bu heard someone pointing at the horse thief and muttering. He opened his eyes and looked over. Seeing that the horse thieves around him were saying something, he raised his hand and waved it to everyone's guard.

"Everyone has led the horses, be careful they will take the opportunity to leave." Lu Bu bit the jerky meat and seized the time to recover his strength. I think the other person should be saying some inspirational words. For this, he admired the leader of the horse thief. He was so seriously injured and still encouraged his subordinates. This reminded him of another person, who was introverted and calm, and had few words, like a hard stone.

Soon after, the dull sound of horse hooves shaking the earth came.

The birds were singing in the sky, and a team of hundreds of people rushed over here, and the dim vision gradually became clear. Lu Bu threw down the jerky meat, took the Fangtian Huaji inserted on the ground, and looked at the cavalry with a deep face: "Huns or Xianbei?"

However, before his subordinates could answer, the cavalry shouted and scattered into two swaths, arranged in parallel on the grass hills opposite, and raised the short bows in his hands, pointing to this side.

"Everyone is on the horse—"

Lu Bu shouted softly, turned over and rode on the horse, and held Fang Tianji with his eyes on his face to be alert. When the other party came to reinforce, he would obviously fight for another battle. However, this place happened to use the grass slope to attack with all his strength. He thought, tightening the reins.

...

The red light walked on the ground. Among the horse thieves who came, Gao Sheng turned over and threw a tied figure from above to the ground, and bowed with a knife: "Chief, when we came, Dongfang Sheng reminded me to take this prisoner with me, maybe it would be useful."

The figure wearing a cloak nodded, and had injuries on his body that he could not move around. He waved his hand and asked Li Ke to lift the wriggling prisoner on the ground and dragged it to the bottom. Gongsun Zhi slowly walked down with a knife and glanced at the prisoner. The other party was looking at the figure carrying Fang Tian's painting halberd there in amazement.

"Sure enough...you know each other?"

When Hou Cheng turned around and looked at Gongsun Zhi, the scimitar was already on his neck. The moment the cold blade pressed against his skin, the figure holding the knife had already shouted at the Caopo opposite: "Lu Bu, come down to speak."

The wind on the grassland was blowing violently.

Hearing the sound, Lu Bu opened his mouth slightly, and his throat made a hoarse and low laughter. He shook the reins of the horse, "Let's go! Let's go--" The surrounding Bingzhou cavalry took the spear hanging on the side of the horse, clamped it under his armpit, and made a charge at any time.

Horse hooves tread over the tender green grass.

The tip of the halberd was hanging and swaying, and then stopped. The figure of the halberd looked at Gongsun Zhi, who was ten feet apart, and pointed at the tip of the halberd: "Since you recognize me, Lu Bu, you can say something."

The war horse under him treads the horse's hooves anxiously. Lu Bu stroked the horse's hair, his voice dull and vigorous, and even if he was very small, it clearly reached everyone's ears: "Killing the wife of Governor Ding first, and killing the prefect of Yanmen County behind, and you gathered to do evil..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter.

"Hmph...hahahaha--"

Gongsun Zhi tilted his head, and the blade suddenly pressed down Hou Cheng's neck, and a trace of blood oozed out from the tip of the head and the skin. "... These are nonsense, I just ask you, what would you do if someone wanted to kill you, Lu Bu?"

The wind blew across the flower robe, and the body holding the halberd was silent for a moment, nodding: "Of course I killed the other party."

"That's all right. You said that Guo Taishou wanted to harm my brothers. We will take revenge and kill him, right?" Gongsun Zhi stared at Lu Bu ferociously.

The latter hesitated for a moment and felt like he was being circled in.

"I'll ask you if you're right?!" However, the voice from the opposite side continued to force over.

Lu Bu frowned and tightened his halberd.

The next second, Gongsun Zhi used force on his hand and cut off Hou Cheng's head with a slight slash, pointed at it, "Shoot him to death-"

Around the surroundings, horse thieves buzzed and tightened their bowstrings.
