When the young man with a long bow on his back appeared in front of him with a smile, the leader of the dead soldiers couldn't help but look back at his colleagues around him——
Of course... they are all dead, only I am still alive.
There is poison under his tongue. As long as he can lick it out, he still has a chance to die with dignity.
However... the other party seemed to have known this for a long time. First, he broke his jaw with a punch. When he was in a daze, the other party easily pinched the pill from under his tongue.
"Well... the little general is so awesome! He even knows the poison under the opponent's tongue."
Someone praised this.
"Oh, don't praise me like that. Mr. Yi told me to be more careful and not to let the other party's soldiers seek death... You can also learn from this."
"okay!"
In this happy scene, where is there any trace of the fierceness that they had when they easily killed the dead men of the Lin family?
The leader of the dead soldiers was still in a daze, and the severe pain from his jaw made him dizzy.
But he finally saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of him.
"Little...little kid?"
Because his jaw was dislocated, he hummed and muttered.
"What kid? Today you were defeated by the Shenjian battalion led by me, Ma Dai. You can be considered a defeated person without any regrets. Following the instructions of the teacher, your life has been saved. If you want to seek death, I advise you.
You'd better give up..."
Ma Dai squatted in front of the leader of the dead soldiers with a smile, and the last scene in front of the leader of the dead soldiers was a punch flying towards his face.
"Tie it up, let's call it a day!"
"oh!"
——
The road to the deserted village was only a short one, but for Wu Liang, he felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell.
The next journey...he was completely wilted. With the previous lessons, whether it was his equestrian skills or his courage when accelerating, he was completely wilted.
When he arrived at the relay point, which was before the dense forest that Lin Ping said, Wu Liang had the same feeling as before...
"Is there an ambush?"
Wu Liang's feeling is of course right - in order for Wu Liang to win, Lin Ping helped the Li family set up two passes in the middle... To be honest, if there is no preparation, even if a strong person comes
General, he may be injured or even die in battle due to such an ambush...
But... the fact is that the devil is as tall as the devil... Yi Xiaotian understands the dirty thoughts of people from these aristocratic families very well.
Therefore... the scene that Wu Liang should have seen of Mr. Chen being ambushed by those responsible for recording the race in front of the forest was replaced by a man as strong as a mountain in front of him.
"Hey! Brother, please work harder, Mr. Chen has already started to rush back!"
"Eh...okay..."
Wu Liang reined in his horse stiffly, then turned around mechanically without making any pause, as if he just wanted to leave the forest quickly.
Wu Liang walked further and further away, leaving only the shocking mess behind him——
A strong man sat on top of the mountain of corpses, with his big knife stuck to the side. The table in front of the case recorded the arrival of the two people at the relay point, and it was clearly marked with blood.
Watching Wu Liang leave, Xu Chu stretched his waist and picked up a short man who was as calm as a corpse from the ground beside him.
"You don't want to die yet?"
There was only despair in the other party's eyes. Xu Chu grabbed his back and carried him in front of his eyes. He nodded quickly without even daring to breathe.
"I don't particularly like fighting and killing..."
Xu Chu sighed.
The other party looked at the pile of corpses behind Xu Chu, and even though he had all kinds of thoughts in his heart that he wanted to complain about, he didn't dare to make any sound.
"Okay... I'll spare your life then. When you go back to see Mr., remember to bring in what you know."
The man still nodded, probably knowing that he had temporarily saved his life, and finally passed out.
Xu Chu shrugged, picked up the man, slowly mounted his horse, and drove back towards Chang'an.
…
"Don't be nervous, Master Yi... If you lose later, we will never make things difficult for you... As long as you can hand over the lottery, we can talk about anything... Maybe we can still be friends in the future!"
"Yes, yes... Master Yi, if you lose later, don't say that we are invincible... After all, you know how old Mr. Chen is..."
This is a conversation that took place when Mr. Chen and Wu Liang disappeared on the slope.
Lin Ping and Manager Li sang in harmony, just like a villain who has achieved success.
However, Yi Xiaotian never paid attention to them, which made them even more excited, thinking that Yi Xiaotian was scared.
As a result, Yi Xiaotian said seemingly casually:
"I don't know if the team sent out to hunt before found any prey..."
"Looks like it's time to come back..."
After hearing Yi Xiaotian's seemingly pointed words, Lin Ping and Manager Li suddenly froze.
Of course, Yi Xiaotian didn't care what the two people's reactions were - at this moment, Ma Jun finally came back.
He came to Yi Xiaotian with excitement, and then excitedly told Yi Xiaotian a piece of news that he seemed to have expected:
"Brother Yi! The banker... The banker has found out... It seems to be a family named Wei in the city... It should be a very powerful family..."
"As expected..."
Yi Xiaotian smiled and seemed to have a plan in mind.
…
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, and under the nervous gaze of Lin Ping and Manager Li, a bloody horse appeared on the high slope in the distance.
"how could this be…"
However, the first time the figure appeared, someone murmured.
The voice was none other than Lin Ping, whose smile disappeared instantly.
Although his eyesight is not very good, at least he can tell at a glance whether the person on the horse is old or young.
"Well! Sir! Mr. Chen is back!"
Zhen Luo and Huang Yueying, who had been in the audience, shouted excitedly, leading a group of people around them who supported Mr. Chen because of Yi Xiaotian to cheer for them.
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly and glanced towards Lin Ping and Manager Li, seeing their ugly faces huddled together.
"Ma Jun! Get ready to pick someone up!"
"okay!"
——
The race ended with Mr. Chen leading by several miles.
Mr. Chen seemed to be quite excited after dismounting from his horse. He shouted out what he wanted to say most in front of nearly ten thousand people who were watching:
"My son Chen Kang is not a liar! I, Old Man Chen, have been raising horses all my life, and I am definitely not a liar! My horse is a bloody horse!"
After Mr. Chen's words were shouted out, they aroused everyone's enthusiasm. Countless people cheered and screamed for this strong and prosperous "man".
Many people who had doubted Mr. Chen before, and even said bad words to Mr. Chen and his son, were so ashamed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl in.
Of course, the most attention-grabbing sentence at the end was undoubtedly what Yi Xiaotian shouted to Lin Ping and Manager Li, who seemed to be desperate and wanted to escape:
"Mr. Lin, Manager Li, where are your horses? Are your horses gone?"
